This is Xu Jing's fifth year on the throne.

In the past five years, Xu Jing has made great efforts to govern the country, sent troops to exterminate the bandits in various places one by one, reduced taxes and forced labor, encouraged agriculture, and lived with the people.

The military generals are not afraid of death, the civil servants do not love money, and the Son of Heaven is conscientious and diligent in political affairs. The Great Jin Dynasty, which was stormy and chaotic, was like a dead tree in spring, and it was becoming more and more stable. Although there is still a distance from prosperity and prosperity, everyone knows that the country of the Great Jin Dynasty has been stabilized and no one can shake it.

Xu Jing, the son of heaven, is famous, and Zhao Xiyan, the queen mother, is even more famous.

Needless to say, the Zhao family, the Zhou family, the Zhu family and other female dependents touted it, and the edicts who were summoned to the palace for the audience also praised the queen's generosity and wisdom. As for the people in the streets and alleys of the capital, most of their good feelings towards Empress Zhao come from the Salesian Church and the Respect for the Elderly Hall that have been established one after another in the past few years.

The Salesian Church is dedicated to orphans whose parents have died. The Elderly Church accommodates the elderly who have no children. Their food and clothing were provided by Empress Zhao's own private house.

There are six Salesian churches and four senior churches in Beijing, and the amount of money spent each year is a very staggering amount. Although Empress Zhao was born in a large family, she could not afford it. Where does the money come from?

It's another joke.

Empress Zhao used her dowry to buy two shops four years ago, and after the hosta and begonia got married, they each took charge of a shop. This shop is a women's business, and the people used are the batch of maids bought on the way to Beijing. One sells women's ready-to-wear, and the other sells delicate jewelry, accessories, sachets, fans, jade pendants, and the like. Business is booming.

Empress Zhao's best friend Ye Qinyao and Gao Pingping also learned well, and they ran shops one after another, and did good deeds with the queen.

The most unexpected is the little cousin Zhao Queyu.

Zhao Queyu has always been reluctant to get married, and Zhao Shangshu and his wife love their young daughter, and the family affair has been delayed again and again. Zhao Queyu didn't buy a shop, and bought a grange with the private money he had accumulated for many years. The grange is not very large, about 100 acres. If it is used to farm cattle and sheep, the benefit is not large.

Zhao Queyu has a very flexible mind, and she used this Zhuangzi to grow medicinal materials, and she specially hired two doctors who are good at planting medicinal materials with a lot of money. There is no need to worry about sales, there is no need to play the signboard of Empress Zhao's cousin or Zhao Shangshu's daughter, the medicinal materials are well grown, the price is fair, and the major pharmacies are rushing to collect them.

After making money, Zhao Queyu continued to buy the grange to grow medicinal materials. In just a few years, he has become one of the major medicinal herb merchants in Beijing.

Zhao Queyu made a lot of money, and donated fifty percent of it very heroically, and jointly opened the first women's school in Beijing with Queen Zhao

The daughter is so competitive, and the Sun family is proud, but she can't help but worry: "Queyu is twenty years old, and there is no such old girl in the capital." I just don't get married, but what should I do? ”

Zhao Shangshu thought about it: "What should I do." She can run the medicinal herb business herself, and she earns more money than me, the six books. Not to mention supporting herself, she also helped the queen mother to do good deeds to open a women's school, and also honored her father and mother from time to time. ”

"I really don't want to get married, so it's better to live like this for the rest of my life. In the future, when you are old, can a bunch of nephews in the family not be supported and honored? What is there to worry about. ”

Sun sighed and thought.

At this moment, good news came from the palace. Empress Zhao had a stomachache attack, and another little prince was added.

Zhao Shangshu and his wife immediately smiled.

Ordinary people have heirs, let alone heavenly families. Zhao Xiyan gave birth to three princes and a princess in succession, breaking the bad luck of the withering heirs of the royal family in one fell swoop, which is really a great joy. Not only did it merit to the royal family, but it also played a great role in the stability of the country.

"Wait for the little prince to baptize the third ceremony, and I will go into the palace to see the mother." Sun's eyes lit up.

A familiar voice sounded at the door: "My seventh aunt also has to back up the generous gifts." ”

The husband and wife turned their heads together, and saw Zhao Que, who was wearing a goose yellow dress and looking delicate, come in.

Zhao Queyu is twenty years old this year, and she is an out-and-out old girl in the eyes of the people. However, she has a young face, a delicate and delicate face, and she still looks fifteen or sixteen years old at a glance.

"When will you get married and have children?" As soon as Sun saw his daughter, he couldn't help but chatter: "I've been giving gifts all these years, and I don't even have a chance to take back the gifts." ”

Zhao Queyu responded with a smile: "Mother's words are not right. The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law have been happy for the Zhao family in the past few years, and they have not been left behind in the first birthday banquet of the third full moon. But I, if I get married, it will be my in-law's family who will give birth to a child and receive gifts, and my mother will still have no money. ”

Sun was so angry that he stretched out his hand and slapped Zhao Queyu: "As long as you can get married, I can't ask for it." No matter how much you lose, you are happy. ”

Zhao Queyu continued to smile and responded: "I can't bear my father's mother, I have to be by my father's side for the rest of my life." ”

Sun wanted to glare at his daughter, but couldn't help but laugh again.

Children are the reincarnations of creditors in previous lives. The youngest daughter in front of her is a top debt collector.

……

The baptism of the little prince is, of course, very lively. The ladies of the three grades or more entered the palace to wash the third for the little prince.

Zhao Xiyan moved to the bedroom to do confinement, and those who could go into the bedroom to visit the queen were the closest female relatives.

The Sun family led Zhao Suxin and Zhao Queyu in, and the three Xu Fang sisters got up and left with interest.

Sun looked at Zhao Xiyan for a moment, and smiled with satisfaction: "Niangniang looks good. ”

Zhao Xiyan slept for three days, and today he also had the strength to laugh: "Aunt Lao sent another baptism ceremony." ”

Sun laughed happily. Zhao Queyu interjected mischievously: "What's more, I'm so tired that I'll be scolded again!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed.

In the past few years, Zhao Queyu has been at ease alone, unwilling to marry, but he can choke the Sun family enough.

Sun glared at the past and scolded with a smile: "It's a shame that you have the face to say." What girl is like you, who refuses to marry when she reaches twenty? My head is going to turn white. ”

Zhao Queyu turned his head and complained to Zhao Xiyan: "Cousin, look at my mother, she chatters all day long. I'm busy every day, and I'm scolded. ”

Sun glared angrily again: "Niang Niang is in charge, and she will be instructed in a family matter." Otherwise, I won't be able to close my eyes when I die. ”

Zhao Xiyan couldn't help but smile and comforted the Sun family: "Don't worry, auntie. At this time, there were many people, and Queyu was embarrassed to say something in his heart. I'll ask her privately later. ”

Sun breathed a sigh of relief: "She is most willing to listen to Niangniang's words, and Niangniang has to persuade her." ”

After the Sun family and the others left, Zhao Xiyan looked at his little cousin: "Queyu, do you really want not to marry for the rest of your life?" ”

Zhao Queyu looked innocent: "It's not that I don't get married, it's not that I haven't met someone who can be seen!" ”

With a brother-in-law like Xu Jing, where can the idle young man get his eyes.
