In the twilight, the lights of the Pingzhang Mansion began to turn on.

After a busy day, I came to the backyard where Zhu Yuan was, entered the house, turned right through the small hall outside, and arrived at the general room outside the master bedroom.

Under the candlelight here, a group of women of all sizes were guarding, and their freehand eyes glanced at Zhuang Liuniang's face, and looked at the ugly slave who was not ugly at all: "Are you up?" ”

The slave's expression had something different in her expression, and she said softly: "Hui Niang, not yet." ”

After the third day of the lunar month, the identity of the freehand concubine was officially determined, and the maids and servants inside and outside the mansion gradually changed their names.

However, because there is no housewife in this house, it is also chaotic, and some people don't know how to change it, so they don't change it. The main thing is that there is no 'eldest mother', otherwise, with 'eldest aunt', the others only need to be ranked according to their age or successive 'second mother', 'third mother' and so on.

Freehand understood, a little worried, with inquiry.

Nu'er took the initiative and said, "It's Qingniang." ”

Freehand breathed a sigh of relief.

There is a tacit understanding between the four women, including their own adults, who have actually stated that they will only precede the four of them. But if there is one else...... What can I do?

What's more, although she is a young lady, she ......

Shaking his head slightly, he shook off this thought and looked at the others except the ugly slave and the heavenly fairy: "It's time for dinner, you all go back to your own yard." ”

The other women honestly agreed, and Shi Li withdrew.

Zhuang Liuniang was reluctant, thinking about the afternoon, she was called in afterwards, but she was tired of a few words, and she was kicked out again, which was even more resentful. Although she was arrogant, she was not stupid, and she faintly saw the situation in this mansion.

If you can be the first to have an heir, it will be ...... I don't dare to think about it.

At the moment, he said: "Write mother, slave wants to wait...... Adults are awake, or are they still ...... Need a slave. ”

Do you need it?

It's hard to say freehand, but I remembered again what Liangqiu Liuniang said in the morning, and broke Zhuang Liuniang's 'only one'.

Alas......

I nodded casually, which was considered a yes.

Zhuang Liuniang stayed, Zhongli Watermelon didn't move, and followed her silently.

Freehand didn't pay attention to it anymore, seeing that the time was a little late, he turned to the curtain in the inner room, and just lifted the curtain and penetrated into the somewhat dim room, he heard a series of cat-like long and short calls from the young lady: "Dad...... Daddy, Daddy......"

Freehand: "......"

Just when he was thinking about whether he was quietly retreating, probably because the candlelight followed in, in the dimness, his own adult voice sounded: "What time is it?" ”

Freehand subconsciously converted the time and replied: "My lord, it's six o'clock." ”

"It's so late, it's time to get up, you goblin...... It's all your fault. ”

"Daddy......"

"Don't scream, punish you for learning the sack, shut up for a quarter of an hour."

So there was no sound.

Zhu Yuan said that he wanted to get up, and he ordered the lights to be lit.

When the lights in the huge master bedroom came on, there were more than two people here.

In addition to Zhu Yuan and Qing Niang, the sack is also there, and his face is red. There were also two maids, and two girls from the group that had been called over yesterday.

Freehand glanced at one of them, named 'Shake Down', and threw himself on the Westinghouse bookcase in the morning, probably because he couldn't seize the opportunity to talk to adults, he was sad and regretful, and he fainted like that.

Then he was seen by the adults and called to his side again.

Adults are pitiful and cherish jade.

Although, a 29-year-old woman actually fainted from crying, freehand felt pitiful and helpless. Think about it, if he was sent to other nobles' families at the beginning, he dared to behave like this, and he would have been beaten to the least. It's just my own adult, it's too easy to talk.

Everyone waited for their master to get dressed, and during the time, he also looked at the young lady, and the young lady also looked over, and her expression was happy and empty, as if she had stolen something.

Seeing her like this, it was even more difficult to say anything, and I didn't bother to think about it. What can this woman do even if she has a child?

After dressing and washing, I came to the dining room of the West Wing, and Luo Shui and Liubai brought food together.

Just by looking at the stains on the white neck of the green lady, the two girls understood what was happening, and then looked at the green lady's expression, but it was difficult to mind anything. It was Luo Shui, whose expression was a little gloomy.

After that time, the other three have either had or are confirmed, only her, and she has not yet gone up or down.

For something, even if Luo Shui is indifferent, how can he not want to?

Although the thoughts are different, they are also trying to hide it as much as possible, and they will talk about a serious thing first: "The two houses rewarded by the palace, Nian Huo'er took people to see them in the afternoon, on the bank of the Qinhuai River in the southeast of the city, across the river, you can also see our shop and some Guozixue in the north...... The current national university. The two houses are not big, adding up to 16 acres, and they can barely live if they are opened, but they still have to buy furniture and things, and I am afraid that it will take some time. ”

Zhu Yuan ate a piece of crispy mutton, and nodded when he heard the words: "Don't worry, clean up slowly." ”

As for the concept of 16 acres barely being able to live, it's too lazy to say.

With Zhu Yuan's current identity, he is too small, and it is indeed not suitable, even Lao Zhu, who has always been thrifty, thought of it, and if there was no other suitable one, he directly gave the two sets of neighbors.

This is mainly because Zhu Yuan doesn't want to toss.

Otherwise, it is completely possible to build a brand new mansion on land in the city, just like on Xuanwu Lake.

In the past, Xu Da did not dare to accept Lao Zhu's old interior, so he built a new mansion next to it, and left the ruins of 'Zhan Yuan' until hundreds of years later.

Seeing that his lord nodded, he said freehand: "Also, what the lord said, to plant cherry trees in Sakura Island, the slave also asked someone today, there are fruitful, there are not, my lord...... What do we want? ”

Zhu Yuan didn't feel right.

Cherry blossom trees and cherry trees don't seem to be the same category, right?

I can't remember the specifics.

Moreover, if you really want to say that Zhu Yuan wants not to bear fruit, he only appreciates the flowers.

However, thinking about Lao Zhu's planting vegetables in the imperial garden, he can't be too 'outrageous', after all, an island in the middle of the lake with the same area as Liangzhou here, all of them are made into gardens, and they are about to be impeached, so he said: "It can bear fruit." ”

It's just to fit a name anyway.

I agreed to come down freely.

Seeing that Freehand no longer spoke, Luo Shui followed: "My lord, use the fast...... Next year's "Zhuangzi" will be the title, how to do it? ”

"A copy of "Zhuangzi", there are many allusions," Zhu Yuan said: "Just "Getaway" can do a few well, others, as well as "Zhuang Zhou Dream Butterfly", as well as "Xiang Wei Yimo", as well as "Handan toddler", and "Frog at the bottom of the well"...... You brew first, anyway, of course, you have to pick a good meaning, 'Handan toddler' and 'frog at the bottom of the well'. ”

Luo Shui gently agreed: "Hmm." ”

In fact, I know how to do it, but I just want to talk to adults.

Zhu Yuan continued: "Also, before we start, let's publish an article in "Daming Monthly" to create momentum, which is probably to talk about how good "Zhuangzi" is, this ...... Do you write it, or do I find someone? ”

Luo Shui was still a little hesitant, and Zhu Yuan had already said: "You guys try to write, I'm so close to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, there's no reason to owe favors." Anyway, write slowly, if it really doesn't work, don't engage in advertorials, and directly make advertisements in "Daming Monthly", advertising, you should also talk to your ancestors, commercial operation is inevitable. ”

As the official mouthpiece, "Daming Monthly" should be funded by the imperial court and does not accept advertising. However, there are many benefits to joining commercial operations.

It's not just about profit.

Another point is to make a template first.

"Daming Monthly" can not care about commercial income, in the future, other publications, more in number, can not be cared about.

What Zhu Yuan hopes is that "Daming Monthly" will set an example, an example of being responsible for its own 'advertising', and the official can also formally set up the rules in the exploration, for example, the most basic, you must not advertise for scammers and fakes.

This thing can also be extended.

Another example is the independence of the media.

Well.

If this is the case, it is not appropriate for the advertorial to promote the 'Zhuangzi' series of fountain pens, which happens to be the best case of capital influencing the media.

Then make it a clear advertisement.

Anyway, an advertisement can also be a flowery article, with beautiful pictures, I don't believe you will buy it when the time comes.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuan was immediately sure, and quickly continued: "...... Forget it, make sure not to send an advertorial, just advertise, however, the article still has to be written, just write it as an advertising article, and draw some preliminary design drafts. ”

As for the considerations behind it, there is no need to explain it in detail.

Ad.

Spread the word.

Freehand is known for a few.

Luo Shui listened patiently, and waited for his adult to continue with new ideas before nodding: "That...... The slave sisters gave it a try. ”

The matter was decided, Zhu Yuan took the initiative to look at Liubai: "Why are you willing to show up, well, it seems to be whiter, more likable, come, let Dad take a look?" ”

The blank space is quite angry, since I saw the exaggerated bed yesterday, today, there is a young lady who actually brought her daughter to her own adult without permission, it's ...... It's all messed up.

However, listening to his own adults suddenly boasting about himself, Liubai suddenly became less angry, and he didn't want to get closer, but when he saw Sister Luoshui get out of the way, he still subconsciously stepped forward and said, "It's still ...... It's the same, it hasn't turned white. ”

Zhu Yuan hugged the girl's small waist: "If I say it, it's white." ”

Leaving a small 'um', he suddenly felt that he shouldn't be coaxed so easily, so he glanced at the young lady on the other side of his adult, and said in the end: "Dad...... My lord, Sister Qingqiu, the slave wants to talk about her, and she shouldn't bring people in casually. ”

The young lady was flustered for a moment.

Zhu Yuan said: "I know, I have taught her a hard lesson in the afternoon, don't believe it, look at her neck, how miserable it is." ”

Women: "......"

Is this a lesson?

It's a reward, right?

Qingniang's face instantly blushed, and she wanted to cover her face and escape, but her legs were too weak to escape.

And, naturally, too...... I don't want to run away.

Even......

At the bottom of her heart, Qing Niang also had some thoughts.

Daughter, I should come a few more times.

Such...... In this way, adults will be able to ...... punished her.

Blank still wanted to say, Zhu Yuan pointed to a porcelain cup farther away on the table: "What is that, let me see?" ”

Liubai had no choice but to pick it up and change the subject: "Just about to say, this is golden silk ramen, noodles made from several kinds of fine grain flour, and chicken soup that has been boiled for two hours, adults can taste it." ”

The porcelain cup was sent to the front, and Zhu Yuan picked up the chopsticks, but he smiled and looked at Zhuang Liuniang opposite.

This is the ring.

At lunchtime, Zhuang Liuniang prepared several kinds of pasta and sent them over, Zhu Yuan praised a few words, and the girls around him were interested.

Zhuang Liuniang on the other side also immediately understood the joints, and when she saw that the adults looked at herself, she hurriedly hit the snake with the stick: "Dad, Liu'er will have some food, will I make it for you tomorrow?" ”

Zhu Yuan spoke very well: "Well, let's do it, each with its own powers." ”

Freehand noticed Zhuang Liuniang's title, frowned slightly, and said it in the morning, but the woman didn't listen.

It's just that it can't be managed.

There is only one small master in the family, but there is a large group of women, all kinds of thoughts, how can they manage it?

So I remembered Liangqiu Liuniang's proposal again.

This is the only one.

Zhuang Liuniang didn't finish speaking, and said: "Dad, the second uncle of Liu'er...... I'm going to give you a New Year's gift soon, can you see it? ”

"Look at the time."

Zhu Yuan did not refuse.

In the morning, I have discussed with them about the New Year's gift, who can accept it, who does not accept it, and which people come, and it happens that they are also there, so they can be notified to meet.

Shaanxi Zhuang's ......

I remember that I learned before that the Zhuang family is not only a big clan in the local area, because of the initiative of the major forces in Shaanxi, the cleaning action is not big, but there are many appointments, Zhuang Liuniang's father Zhuang Muduan got a Fengxiang prefect of the fourth grade, Zhuang Liuniang's second uncle Zhuang Muxu has been active in Beijing during this time, and Zhu Yuan has not seen it.

This time, if you have time, it doesn't hurt to see you.

Although this is inevitably some tricks to encircle courtiers and make friends with places, the question is, if Zhu Yuan doesn't do this, will he be able to clear himself?

Unless Zhuang Liuniang is driven out immediately.

However, it's useless to drive it out, because, this is full of people, and they can't all break off the relationship?

If you don't say anything else, just one Mingzhou, you can't break it.

Unless the entire battalion collapses.

Zhu Yuan didn't want the Yinghai Division to collapse, and I believe that Lao Zhu didn't want this kind of thing to be released, not to mention, there were various other 'groups' and 'companies', as well as a few newly opened among the ten departments of the imperial court, as well as a series of universities......

It's already too deep and too deep.

Therefore, Zhu Yuan is already destined to be a royal family who stays out of the matter and enjoys wealth and nobility, even if he does not have the grace of Lao Zhu and the identity of the royal family, he is also a powerful minister of the Xuanhe government and the opposition.

What is a Minister?

You have to exercise your power, and there is a group of people below to help you do it, and this is the minister.

Of course, Zhu Yuan, a powerful minister, is far from being able to seek the usurpation of the throne. If you really want to rebel, then few people are willing to follow.

The main thing is that Zhu Yuan didn't think about it that way at all.

Too tired.

As for the future......

This kind of thing is really hard to say.

What Zhu Yuan expects is that he has confidence in Lao Zhu, whether it is his ancestors or his ministers, and he already has confidence in this. However, it is mainly in the future, Zhu Biao, and even the third ......

At the moment, Zhu Yuan doesn't think that he can be a veteran of several dynasties, but he can ...... What about children and grandchildren, this is also something to consider.

In fact, there is already a direction.

However, it is still in the future, the time is right, and I will talk to Lao Zhu again.

Now......

While doing things with peace of mind, you can't be too honest in the end.

The key is to get the scale right.

After dinner, Zhuang Liuniang took the initiative to talk about whether to call 'potatoes', 'corn', 'sweet potatoes' and the like, and it will continue to be lively tonight.

Zhu Yuan refused.

I'm still going back to live in front tonight, and it's okay once or twice once in a while, but if it's too indulgent and used to it, it's hard to take back a heart.

Self-control is such a thing, first of all, self-control, in order to maintain.
