In addition to exploring the snow, listening to the frost, the evening fog, and Chaowen in the house, there are also a few little maids who are wiping the table and setting up the case, and they don't avoid outsiders when they see them.

It just so happened that the concubine sent the wind and the rain to send the plum blossoms in the bottle. Zhen Ying wanted to pick a hairpin, but she picked it around, but she didn't like it.

The head of the Xiwu supervisor said with a smile when he saw this: If the county lord wants to make hairpins for a scene, the set of twelve flower gods in the palace only opened a set of peonies, and the set of narcissus is too plain, so it is better to choose the set of chrysanthemums to suit the scene.

Cherish the wind is the concubine's hairpin and maid, the aesthetics have always been online, and after listening to it, he said: "The red that the county lord is wearing today, should choose the camellia that is the set of eighteen flowers, it is the eighteen bachelors, the flowers are good, and the meaning is good." The county lord only picked the six 'little five guarantees', and aligned the hairpins on both sides, which is right! ”

"Eighteen Bachelors" is a famous product in the camellia, "Twelve Flowers God Head Face", the camellia set is exactly 18 velvet flowers, six "small five guarantees", six white, six powder.

Zhen Ying smiled, nodded, didn't say a word, and waited until the hairpin was finished, and then pretended to just remember what was going on.

Chao Wen stepped forward at this time, took the stickers and accounts, and after a cursory look, she only felt that there was nothing wrong.

Zhen Ying's expression was solemn, not very relaxed, and she waved her hand to ask her to just hand over the bill.

"Is there no one in Yunxian County? Why bother to run such a trip during the Uncle's New Year? ”

She said this, but she muttered in her heart.

It turned out that Yun County was Zhen Ying's fiefdom, a little far away from Wu County.

If it is a gift for the holidays, Zhen Zhiwen and Zhen Ying are related to each other, and it is indeed good for him to come.

But Zhen Ying didn't see the taxes in Yun County this year.

Although the autumn harvest is busy, the chief and the fief are too far away, and it is common for taxes to arrive late, it is particularly out of tune to let the merchant rhyme.

Zhen Ying took the list and counted it carefully. It is written one hundred and eighty live deer, one hundred and eighty roe deer, one hundred and eighty black noodles, one hundred and eighty white pigs, one hundred and thirty gelding pigs, one hundred and thirty goats, ten dairy goats, chickens, ducks, geese and 1,200 geese, wild geese, wild ducks, pheasants 500 each, dried mushrooms and miscellaneous mushrooms 500 catties, air-dried fungus 500 catties, commonly used rice 3,000 stones, blue stem rice 30 dendrobium, rouge rice 30 dendrobium, yin rice 30 dendrobium, bamboo rice 10 d.

Everything in front is okay, but the last item is the most rare.

Bamboo rice, as the name suggests, is rice produced from bamboo, in fact, it is the fruit of bamboo after flowering. But bamboo flowering is extremely rare, often decades, hundreds of years only once, because bamboo flowering is rare, if there is a bamboo flowering in a place, it must be recorded by the county annals, and even reported to the top.

Because bamboo rice is rare, it is often given a mysterious color, and the book says that the phoenix does not drink if it is not a liquor spring, and it is not eaten if it is not a bamboo fruit. Zhen Ying had never seen this thing before, so she tapped her finger at the end, Chao Wen understood, and quietly went down to find the old man in the palace to identify it, and replied to Zhen Ying after confirming that it was correct.

Zhen Ying learned that it was real bamboo rice, and there was no news of bamboo flowering from the county government, knowing that this was a major event related to the people's livelihood, he was only willing to leave two bamboo rice in the house to try fresh, and the other eight Hu sent people to take good care of it, and went to Baiyujing to pay tribute in two days.

Zhen Ying had territorial income for the first time, and it stands to reason that she shouldn't know the data of previous years, but just now Chaowen was looking for someone to identify Zhu Shi, and she asked an old lady next to the concubine.

When the concubine heard about this, she sent someone here.

This grandmother and Shen Mama entered the palace in the same year, and she was also born as a nurse. When she entered the palace, she also received some errands, and she was a qualified old man, but now she read the post and was so angry that she fell back.

Mama hurriedly sent out a few ignorant maids and asked Chaowen to rot this matter in her stomach.

She went to make the decision for the county lord, and she was not allowed to alarm the concubine.

It turned out that Zhen Ying had a fief, but it was still a real fief, which could not only collect taxes and increase taxes, but also affect government affairs. This dynasty is not restricted to men and women, women can also participate in politics, the strength of the county lord is actually equivalent to the county king, in his own fiefdom, not to mention tax increases, is to modify the law, appoint and dismiss officials, as long as it does not violate the "Great Edict" of the great grandfather, it is feasible.

Now that the year is closed, instead of sending an official with status to report on his work, he will call a merchant to send it away, and that's it. A county pays tens of thousands of taxes a year? But at the moment, this list, even if I went to the butcher shop and the grain store, I redeemed all the money, and it was only a few thousand taels of silver.

Except for the ten bamboo rice, there is really no merit.

It's a shame that they are still the old family of the county lord, so they are so prevaricating.

The imperial doctor said a long time ago, the concubine's cultivation in the early years went crazy and lost her body, and she couldn't be happy and sad, with the concubine's liking for the county lord, how could she swallow this breath?

At that moment, he explained to Chaowen that he was very powerful, and while blocking the news, he rushed to the front yard in a hurry, and before he went in, he saw that someone had also been sent down in the house.

Mama knew that the county lord had a number in his heart, but the nobleman was too late to speak.

coughed twice at the moment, and put out the score of the old lady in the palace - don't say it, it's really bluffing, even the queen's mother's Si Yan came over, and she didn't have her momentum.

"The county lord is a mother, the old woman is useless, and the income of several grange shops has been ordered for a few days, so that the mother can wait."

The person entered the house while talking, and Zhen Zhiwen didn't look outside, sat outside the curtain, and Tanxue had already prepared a cup of tea and sent it: "The county lord doesn't like you to say such things the most, so don't mention it again in the future." If you don't use it, how many of our sisters can't eat idle food? ”

Zhen Zhiwen bowed outside for a long time, but he never received a response, and his waist was bent. Seeing that the grandmother was very polite, although she was unhappy, she thought that her niece had forgotten about it, straightened her waist, and was about to sit down......

"Gee, that's embarrassing. This year, the harvest of several granges is somewhat different this year, and it is too late for the old woman to ask for sin, how can she eat the tea of the county lord? ”

Mama said as she said, her hand was on the side of the teacup, and she tested the temperature of the water, which just moistened her throat: "Yo, old Pu'er, thank you for cherishing my old bones." ”

A few sips of tea under the stomach, and a cup of refill, then said: "A few small granges this year's harvest is not good, Zhuang Tou said, the spring ploughing rain is not good, the rice harvest is not much, only five hundred stones, not enough for our palace to chew, coarse rice is enough, but also worthy of three thousand stones, if the manager of the rice shop is here tomorrow, I really don't know how to prevaricate." ”

As soon as everyone heard this, they knew in their hearts, how could the income of a few small granges in the palace be compared with the tax of a county? But on the list just handed over, the grains and other types are all used in "Hu" as a unit, not to mention, and the number is not right.

Zhen Zhiwen is used to being a businessman, how can he not know that he is beating himself this time? hurriedly confessed: "The villain's fault, the villain's fault, I'll go back and make up for it later." ”

Zhen Ying is a kind person, just saw that the difference was so big, and it was not easy to have a seizure on her own, and she was considered to have been taken care of by her uncle's family back then, but now she looks at people like this, and she still has a trace of unbearable in her heart.

She was about to raise her hand, but was handed a snack by the sharp-eyed Tanxue, so she had to put down her movements.

Chao Wen said: "It's not enough to make up, please bring the account books of previous years." Our county lord is young, and the concubine hates people bullying her young, if she is born in the house, even the family has to be driven out. If it comes from outside, although it is not too strict, it will never stay. ”

Zhen Zhiwen was so frightened that his face was sweating: "That's nature, that's nature." ”

Tanxue only thought that her master was a good person and was sick, and when she saw her grandmother's face, she decided to break the matter and said: "Does the county lord know that the prince and the princess have to run for the crown prince?" In two years, you will also be on the list. The ministers have never met the lord of the county, how do you know your ability and character? It depends on your fiefdom, taxes, popularity, and what things you have created, how you deal with it. ”

Zhen Ying was still puzzled, she thought that her mother was a foreign daughter, and the identity of the crown prince was also cancelled.

I heard the old lady say again: "Otherwise, why are there so many princes and concubines, and the emperor's own bloodline can't be sealed, why do you have a real seal?" If you are too forgiving, and indulge those below, you will cause trouble...... The old body said something unpleasant, the old minister of the county lord of Chengyi, how should I look at you? ”

Zhen Ying understood and hurriedly thanked her.

"The county lord is very polite. The old slave relies on the old and sells the old, and it is not nice to say it, the county lord's heart is too soft, and it will not be easy to hold it up in the future. ”

After processing the income in the fiefdom, he was busy hanging Spring Festival couplets.

The saint loves calligraphy, and every year in the annual reward, there are a few Spring Festival couplets.

The old Spring Festival couplets of Wu Wangfu last year naturally had to be torn off, and they should be torn as much as possible, meaning "the years are safe".

Tanxue had done it earlier, and this time she specially gave the opportunity to the newcomer Chaowen, and connected a few little girls to let them get together with the dragon's spirit.

The torn couplets are wrapped in a red cloth and placed in the brazier of the ancestral hall to be burned clean.

The Spring Festival couplets let the steady and powerful steward in the house take some and paste them on the main and second gates.

Although Jiang Che has many friends, not everyone has thousands of family assets, and some of them are shy in their pockets, so they use Mobao as a gift as a New Year's gift, plus Zhen Ying's little sisters, and even the Spring Festival couplets are pasted in the room.

Zhen Ying also had a heart to write, but she just wrote the word "Fu", and she was troubled by the little sisters - the pavilion body she learned by copying books with one hand is square and round, and it is naturally pleasing to the eye when she does the transcription, but it seems restrained when written on the Spring Festival couplets.

On the thirtieth day of the lunar month, the house was busy again, and I saw a new look inside and out. Door gods, spring couplets, peach charms and other things are made from within, and the royal pen is personally mentioned, a weather.

The doors of the Wu Palace's mansion were wide open, red lanterns were hung on both sides, the ground was covered with red orangutan felt carpets, and the corridors were cleaned and decorated with joy—the cloth of the birdcages under the corridor was covered with a layer of red covers.

Zhen Ying got up early and put on incense, worshiped God, dotted inside and outside, and saw that everything was very similar, so she put it down in her heart.

In the main room, Princess Wu sat on the head, and when she saw Zhen Ying coming, she asked someone to sit on the second seat.
