Farmers have children to raise

Chapter 364 I'm jealous again. (1)
After sweeping the dust, it is New Year's Eve. On New Year's Eve, there is a palace banquet in the palace, and important court officials and members of the royal family will be invited to participate. The official language is to have fun with all the officials.

In fact, the purpose is to narrow the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, plus thanking and encouraging employees to continue to work hard.

The old prince and the old concubine of Zhenrong Prince's Mansion naturally wouldn't go, and all these entertainments naturally fell on the married son.

So, on the afternoon of New Year's Eve, the family of three dressed up and took a carriage to the palace for a banquet early.

When we arrived at the banquet hall, the emperor's bosses hadn't arrived yet, and the courtiers and their family members who came earlier were chatting and connecting with each other in twos and threes.

The troubled boy drank too much water in the car and was about to deal with it when he arrived. Rong Zheng let her go in first, and he took the boy to the next door of the main hall.

Baochun walked into the main hall, and Director Sun Ping, who was arranging the banquet in the main hall, saw her, and hurriedly ordered someone to fetch a heater, and handed it to her personally.

Baochun's physique is afraid of the cold. He was afraid of the cold in his previous life, and he is still afraid of the cold in this life. Even if he has a good foundation in kung fu, he is still the same. Love, I also gave him a copy when I gave the emperor's father a new year gift.

Of course, it wasn't any valuables like gold, silver, jewelry, and antiques. They were all things produced by her own family, such as the fruits and vegetables in the warm shed in Guiyuan Villa, her home-brewed wine, and some daily farm food.

"Happy Chinese New Year, Mr. Sun." Baochun smiled and cupped his hands with the stove in his hands.

"Thanks to the princess, Happy New Year." Sun Ping hurriedly returned the gift with a smile, "The emperor loves the vegetables sent by the princess, and I can eat an extra bowl of rice every meal."

Baochun said, "Since I like to eat, I'll send someone to deliver it after I finish eating. However, the wine is much stronger than ordinary wine. He is not in good health, so we can't let him drink more."

"No, I'm watching." Sun Ping took a look inside, then leaned closer and whispered, "I heard that the princess had a conflict with the lady of the Deng family. This lady of the Deng family is not a good person. The princess should be more careful in the future. .”

Baochun smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Director Sun, for your concern."

Sun Ping personally led Baochun to the seat, "You take a rest first, I'll go and see if there's anything I missed, and let me know if you have anything to do."

"Go and do your work, don't worry about me, I have nothing to do." Baochun sat down and said.

Sun Ping's series of actions towards Princess Anping made many people in the hall look sideways.

This Sun Ping is a big red man in front of the emperor, the kind who is red and purple, he is also a personal bodyguard, and he is also the manager. He almost never leaves the emperor's side, and almost all matters big and small are handled by his hands. No one knows the emperor's mind better than him.

Whether it is a member of the royal family or a high-ranking official, they all flatter and curry favor one or two, but I have never seen him treat anyone so courteously, even the queen mother and prince probably did not have this kind of treatment.

What is there in Anping that deserves his fawning?

If you want to say that it is because she bears the title of Prince Zhenrong, but he is not so warm to young prince Rong. In his opinion, Princess Anping seems to have more weight than young prince Rong, or to be more precise. In the emperor's place.

Everyone was puzzled, and they couldn't understand the joints even after racking their brains.

After Sun Ping left, a court lady served tea and a fruit plate. Baochun held a cup of hot water and looked around idly. There were quite a few people who came, including the courtiers and their family members. In addition, she saw Deng The young lady at home was talking to Anyang, and during the conversation, she seemed to glance at her.

That look made people feel indescribable, it's okay to be uncomfortable anyway, Baochun couldn't help sighing, it seemed that he was thinking about her rhythm, and this feud was a bit grievous.

Not long after she sat down, she saw the second prince Liu Jing walking towards her, and beside her was her unfavorable ex-fiance, Mr. Gu Yan.

She quickly stood up and said hello, "Your Highness, Young Master Gu, Happy New Year both of you."

Since they got married, this was the first time the two met. Liu Jing looked at her with particularly deep and complicated eyes, but Bao Chun smiled as usual and was in the same mood.

Seeing that Liu Jing looked at him in a daze and didn't speak for a while, Gu Yan who was next to him hurriedly greeted him. After the greeting was finished, that person hadn't regained his senses and was still in a daze. He was afraid that others would see something, so he hurriedly chatted a few more words.

It has been talking about the floods in the south. It has been raining heavily in the south for days, and the rivers have spread, flooding many towns and villages. Coupled with the abnormally cold winter this year, the disaster situation is not optimistic.

"There was news that Princess Anping's Guiji Hall in Nancheng not only punted to rescue the flooded people when the water spread into the city, but also provided them with food and shelter from wind and rain. The common people are spreading praises, saying that you are a living Bodhisattva who saves suffering and suffering." Gu Yan said.

Baochun hurriedly waved his hands, "I'm really ashamed of saving the suffering. To be honest, I didn't know about this before, and I was told afterwards. They cut it first and played it later. They are very bold. They didn't make any money when they opened a branch. A lot of money has been spent in vain. Yesterday, I sent a letter asking for money. If it is 10 taels, 10 taels, this is simply a lion's mouth. It is not a matter of one or two days to say that reconstruction is not a matter of one or two days, and the food relief is not enough. It’s only a day or two of relief, otherwise, it’s been useless, you said, how can there be such a shopkeeper, who doesn’t think about making money for the boss, but only thinking about how to make money for the boss.”

Gu Yan listened to her talk, and saw her angry and serious appearance, touched her nose and couldn't help laughing and said, "Then the princess will not give it."

Baochun glanced at him sideways, "I really want to, but if I don't give it, I'll smash the signboard I built up with great difficulty, let alone a hundred thousand, no matter how much it is, I'll wait until I get it all together. , otherwise, I don’t have to mess around, I just sell sweet potatoes when I go home.”

"Selling sweet potatoes?" Gu Yan didn't understand.

But Liu Jing said, "Okay, there's no need to beat the drums here, this matter has been reported to the father, and after the new year, we will start raising money for food relief."

Baochun's eyes lit up, "That's great, then the silver that I donated to Guijitang will also be settled."

Liu Jingjing patted her forehead, "That's a beautiful idea, don't think about it any more. Just after the war, the national treasury is empty. It is already the best ability to raise money for disaster relief. If you donate it, you will have to come back. reason."

Baochun curled his lips in distress, "I haven't been able to earn so much in the few years since I returned to Jitang."

"It's useless for you to cry poor." Liu Jing looked at her amusedly, "Don't think I don't know about your business partnership with Xie Jiming, you have already made a lot of money." The appearance of being rich is still poor.

Baochun chuckled twice, "I have made some money, but the problem is that I have more ways to spend money than to make money. You said this Guijitang, this Guiyuan Villa is not a waste of money, you Don't look at me as if I'm very prosperous, but I'm actually busy for nothing."
