The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 322 The Family in the Palace ([-])

Xiaomi and Feng Ze hurried over, hugged and coaxed each other, Linglong and the others also called nanny, and nursed the two little ancestors again.

Xiaomi and Feng Ze took the opportunity to wash up quickly, and when the two children were drowsy again, they quietly lay down next to each other, patted the back of one child, and slowly fell asleep with them.

The moonlight outside the window was just right, and the moonlight sneaked into the window lattice. Seeing such a beautiful family, I was also intoxicated with envy.

As the center of Dayuan, Kyoto has always been the busiest and busiest.

Early this morning, the palace gate on the north side of the palace was rarely opened when going in and out of the shopping carriage in the morning and evening.

A group of court ladies and a group of eunuchs were released with their parcels in their arms.

Some of them were old and some were young, and it was hard to tell whether they were happy or sad.

Someone's family got the news and rushed to pick him up early, so naturally they couldn't help crying.Some people quickly turned into the alley and disappeared without a trace. There were also some homeless people who were lured to the Tzu Chi Bureau by the waiting officials. They would help take care of the orphans, the elderly and the weak. There is no shortage of food and clothing, and it is a good place to settle down and retire.

When the news spread to various restaurants, teahouses, or the streets and alleys, it inevitably aroused some discussion.

"Counting it all together, this is the fourth time that the empress has let people go. Is there enough manpower in the palace, or is it necessary to select new people to enter the palace?"

A middle-aged merchant brought a tea bowl, and his voice was not low, but he showed no signs of panic.

Originally, Kyoto was at the feet of the emperor, and the emperor's family affairs were state affairs. When everyone talked about it, it was as common as discussing whether the neighbor had taken a concubine again.What's more, there is no intention of slandering the empress nanny in these words. The most important thing is that Emperor Hongde has been in power for six years, and the empress has been in the palace for six years. Thunder was furious.

The friend who drank tea with him also responded, "That's right, the masters in the palace now are only the emperor and queen plus four princes and princesses, and I'm afraid they don't need many people to serve them."

The others also nodded. After so many years, they were also used to the fact that the emperor favored only the empress.

If Xu Shi still thought that there is only one woman for an emperor, it is really unimaginable.After all, there were no such precedents in the past dynasties. Even during the time of Emperor Chengde, there was still a concubine. Although she finally rebelled and intended to usurp the throne, she also gave birth to a son.

But in the past few years, the emperor's family lived happily, and never heard of the smog and smog in the harem, but it was clean.

And follow the example, the emperor set an example in this way, the courtiers and the people followed suit, and the trend of taking concubines stopped.How many people don’t talk about the safety of their back houses, and spend more time on studying or doing business, or even if they farm the fields a few more times, they even hit a few buckets of corn.

The men were more or less excited and complained, but the women were extremely grateful to the empress.

There is no woman who does not want her husband to be by her side, to stay alone in the vacant room, and to listen to the sound of birds and swallows in the courtyard next door. Those who have not experienced it will never know how desperate and heartbroken it is.

Nowadays, even if every household cannot only marry wives and not take concubines, but if men have 1 courage, they will not dare to spoil their concubines and destroy their wives.

If Emperor Hongde is the ruler of the whole Great Yuan, then Empress Empress is the dream and backing of all women.

In the Joyful Restaurant, it was also extremely lively at the moment.In summer, eating a kebab and a jug of chilled wine is also an excellent way to cool off the heat.

But there are also people who just like the refreshment of shabu-shabu and meat, so five years ago, Xi Yangyang ordered the restaurant next to it and moved the barbecue there.

It's harmonious to eat hot pot on the first floor and meat skewers on the first floor.

At noon, people who had been busy for half a day came together, and while pushing a cup for a change, they also wanted to inquire about some news.

After all, the owner behind Xiyangyang Restaurant is the Duke's Mansion, and the Queen's Empress is a girl from the Duke's Mansion. Now that the palace servants are suddenly released, the Duke's Mansion must know something inside.

Sure enough, when the sun rose above the head, Chen Xin, the steward who was wearing a brocade gown and was more and more like a scholar, came out from behind.

Unavoidably, everyone had to stand up and exchange greetings.

The business of the Duke's Mansion, and even some business of the Queen's Empress, are now managed by Chen Xin.

It is Chen Xin's wife who is in charge of the luggage shop that has become so popular in recent years.This couple can be said to be in charge of the money bag of the Duke's mansion and the private house of the empress.

Not to mention everyone flattering, at least they dare not offend anyone.

Compared with a few years ago, Chen Xin is much more mature and stable, and has a beard on his upper lip, at first glance he looks like a rich man.

He also greeted everyone with a smile, and never neglected anyone.

Finally, he stood in the middle of the hall, cupped his hands and made a bow, and said with a smile, "Everyone, I'm afraid you also heard that the empress of the palace released another group of palace people?"

"Of course I've heard that the empress is a virtuous lady, she must not have the heart of those palace people dying of old age, and that's why she did this kind deed."

"That's right, the Empress is the most merciful."

Chen Xin waved his hands, and his expression was solemn, "Actually, everyone guessed wrong. The empress's move is naturally considering the palace people's desire for a family reunion or a peaceful retirement, but it is more to reduce the number of people in the palace. As you all know, several states in the south have been hit by disasters. If the emperor and the great lovers in the court hadn't worked hard to allocate food and provide disaster relief, the victims of the disaster would have all arrived outside our capital by now. "

"Ah, it turned out to be like this. It is really a great fortune for the Great Yuan to be so concerned about the country and the people because of her virtue."

An old scholar was the first to open his mouth to praise. There was no politeness in his words, and he added a bit of sincerity.

No matter what the rest of the people waited, they nodded again and again.

Seeing this, Chen Xin said, "Not only that, my lady heard that the victims' homes were completely destroyed, and even this winter they don't even have cotton-padded clothes or bedding. The monthly income is 3 taels, all of which are bought in cotton cloth and donated to the victims.”

"Ah?" Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed, "3 taels, half of the cost, it's too much. Wouldn't this be wronging the emperor and the princes and princesses."

"That's right, the people in the southern states are also my brothers and sisters. How can the empress treat me so harshly? No, count me in, and I will do my best. I will donate 200 taels of silver!"

There is never a shortage of smart people in the world, almost as soon as Chen Xin finished speaking, someone guessed the intention of what he said today, so he was the first to yell out.

Chen Xin got the ladder, so he quickly climbed up.

"This honored guest is so generous, he is really a role model for me. I don't know if the honored guest would like to leave his name, I will definitely report it to the empress."

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard it, no matter how dull their brains were, they fully understood at this moment.

Just by donating some money, you can show your face in front of the empress, maybe with luck, you can even get into the ears of the emperor, it is really a bargain.

So, before Chen Xin asked someone to take out the paper, ink, brushes and inkstones that had been prepared earlier, everyone shouted, "I want to donate silver, 100 taels!"

"I donate 200 taels."

"I donate 100 taels of silver, plus [-] bolts of cotton cloth and [-] catties of cotton."

Soon, a clerk brought out the table, and Chen Xin asked the oldest scholar among the crowd to write down their names and donations.

The old scholar was so excited, others just left a name, but he left a page full of words.When the time comes to send it up, the emperor and empress didn't pay attention. In the future, it will be something to be proud of among relatives and friends, and in front of future generations.

For example, in the seventh year of Hongde in the Yuan Dynasty, the flood in the south of the Yangtze River caused the empress to be worried. Kind people in Kyoto generously donated money to help the folks in Dayuan and relieve the empress' worries.Recorded in the book, so-and-so pen and paper.

If there is a historian involved, maybe they will leave their names in history.

Everyone's eyes were turning red with envy, but Chen Xin didn't choose according to everyone's identities, he only invited the oldest person. head.

Soon, the recording was completed, but before everyone could say a few more words, someone outside got the news and rushed over.

A wealthy businessman from the North land directly spent a huge sum of 1 taels, not to mention the praise of everyone, and was directly opened another book and wrote it in the position of No.1.

In this way, he was as busy as a vegetable market, and he got more than 4 silver in less than a day.

The military officials and relatives of the court and Chinese were also moved after hearing the news, but their donations were sent directly to the household department, and the household department naturally also sent a list to Emperor Hongde...

In the evening, a family gathered at the dining table in Fengxiang Palace, Feng Ze smiled and took food for his wife and children, and asked, "The surprise you mentioned the day before yesterday was to take the lead in donating money and things?"

Xiaomi wiped the soup off his youngest son's chin, and finally gave a smug smile, "This is just the beginning, you just have to wait. As the old saying goes, people's hearts are made of meat, and they are all people in the Yuan Dynasty. If you can help, Everyone is willing to help. It's just that there is a lack of opportunity, not to mention that it would be even better if it can benefit others."

"Benefiting others and benefiting oneself?"

Feng Ze was surprised to hear this, and asked, "How can you use a method that benefits others and yourself?"

Xiaomi refused to speak, and Feng Ze couldn't punish her in front of the child, so he could only grit his teeth secretly.

Fortunately, Xiaomi didn't take Joe too much, and when the dining table was removed and the children gathered on the soft bed to play, she sat by the table and rang the little bell on the table.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Xuan Yi turned in from an unknown corner, knelt down on one knee and kowtowed to his master.

Feng Ze smiled and said, "No wonder, when I gave orders, it was Xuan Er who stepped forward, so it was you who called Xuan Yi away."

"I have something to borrow from him for a few days."

Xiaomi was not too polite and borrowed someone directly.

Feng Ze waved his hand, indicating that nothing happened, but he was more curious about what happened to her.

Xuan Yi saw that the empress did not quarrel because of his errand, so he took out a few pages stuffed in his chest, and reported, "According to the nanny's order, the investigation has been done."
