Chapter 157

Zhaoren’s mother, Princess Yu, loves her daughter dearly, and gently persuades her furious husband, “The prince’s mansion has fixed regulations, and the prince’s salary is also fixed. Whether you are the king of Yu or the king of Lu, our family will be supported by the court anyway.” Let's go." The days are almost the same.

Prince Yu was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, "Central Plains has a lot of fertile land, is there any in the Northwest? How much tax can the Central Plains collect, and how much tax can the Northwest collect?" The prince has a high status, but he can't do politics. .Whether the feudal land is rich or not, whether the feudal land is large or small, the difference is huge.

Princess Yu accompanied her with a smile on her face, allowing King Yu to lose his temper.After finally persuading King Yu, Princess Yu asked Zhaoren to reprimand her, "Why are you so careless in doing things so that people can easily catch you? I told you before, don't overindulge Yibin, but you just don't listen!" Hu Yue slapped the cat Hurting people is nothing, it's just a wild beast.All the private affairs of Zhaoren's mansion were exposed, which hurt the root.If it wasn't for Zhaoren being too accommodating to Yibin and taking concubines for him again and again, how could his reputation be ruined by concubines and concubines.

Zhaoren ignored her, and said in a low voice, "I've always been very careful. It's just that something happened suddenly, and I didn't have time to prepare for it. Think about it, when it's Chinese New Year, the house was demolished by Fu Shen..." Princess Yu sighed, " Injustice, really injustice." The daughter and granddaughter are indeed wrong, but this Marquis of Lu'an's mansion is also deceiving people too much.This account, let's remember it first.

The king of Yu changed his title to the king of Lu and moved to the capital of Lu. After the news spread to the common people, the whole city of Kaifeng was full of joy.The king of Yu was greedy and wantonly plundered the land of the officials and the people through means such as imperial gifts, petitions, and donations.Now that King Yu is going to leave, the people of Zhongzhou are ecstatic.

After Zhaoren left Beijing, Xiao Suiping's illness gradually recovered, and he appeared alive and well in front of everyone.The emperor was very happy and summoned Yaya, Xiao Suiping and Liunian in Qianqing Palace.When the emperor saw the lively and lovely Xiao Suiping, he was both happy and emotional, "If the late emperor met you, I don't know how happy he would be."

Yaya and Liunian sighed cooperatively.Not long after the emperor came to the throne, it was necessary to remember the "first emperor" frequently, buy people's hearts, and influence the political situation.The emperor is a master of acting, he sees the situation very clearly, and his words and deeds are in place.

Xiao Suiping called "Uncle" and stumbled down the ground running and playing.The emperor pointed to the hill-like memorial, "Ayi, elder brother wants to read these memorials and meet with ministers, so he can't rest every day. The officials also go to the notebook to persuade this and that. They are very talkative. I decreed that the king of Yu will be the king of Lu. , They have a lot of things to say, and they advise me to treat the clan more favorably."

The emperor was complaining, Yaya and Liunian listened attentively.Fleeting Years innocently recalled, "Xiao Qiji, He Jingming once wrote a poem 'Only Yu Fangcao, Wang Sunlu, will not enter the home of the rich emperor's son'." Your Majesty, does this mean that the Wangzhuang of the vassal kings occupies a huge area? Too much?" The emperor nodded slowly, "The arable land of the whole dynasty is only more than 700 million hectares, and the vassal kings' estates add up to more than 60 hectares, accounting for nearly one-tenth of it."

Yaya had a longing look on her face, "The first emperor often mentioned that only when there is land can we grow food and eat. There is land to grow, and there is food to eat." It is a great ideal.

The emperor sighed, "I will obey the late emperor's edict, be diligent in government and love the people, study and cultivate morality, use the virtuous to enable people, and keep the emperor's career." These are the words given to him by the late emperor, and he memorized them very well. And flow.

Fleeting Nian was very puzzled, "Your Majesty, do those officials need to eat? There must be rice and noodles to eat, and it is difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice. The court has tax revenue, and Taicang has grain and silver to support these officials and clans If these officials visit the Ministry of Households and know that most of the annual taxes in some provinces are used to pay the clan's salary, I wonder if they will wake up? Don't they know that to support the clan is to treat the people harshly."

Xiao Suiping ran over waddlingly, threw herself on Liu Nian's lap, and said courteously, "People, people." She imitated human speech, and could only learn the last two or three words.The emperor was overjoyed, "A child who is only so young knows that he cares about the common people!" Well done, use this example to teach those speech officials, you are not as good as Xiao Suiping!

The emperor's interview was successfully concluded.Xiao Suiping gained a lot, and the emperor rewarded her with many precious objects, including antiques, calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, "Xiao Suiping is a girl from the Xie family, and she will be a talented girl when she grows up." The emperor smiled when he parted. explain.

Xiao Suiping nodded attentively, Yaya and Liunian thanked her, and left the palace.Facts have proved that the words "niece Sai Jiagu" are sometimes inaccurate, Xiao Suiping is very generous.As soon as I got into the carriage, I started distributing things, patting the antique toys, "Mother, let me be with you." Pointing to famous calligraphy and paintings, "My little one, let me be with you." The antique toy was given to the girl Ah, famous calligraphy and paintings were given to Fleeting Years, but I didn't keep any of them.

Fleeting Years looked at Xiao Suiping uncertainly.Xie Xiaoya, you mean the big ones belong to your mother, and the light ones belong to me?But Xie Xiaoya, this frivolous thing is also very valuable, and it is hard to buy.

Yaya pursed her lips and smiled, "When I was young, all I wanted was sugar." Antiques, calligraphy and paintings are not rare at all, and they can't be eaten.It is estimated that her daughter is the same as herself when she was a child, she only wants to eat and play.

Fleeting Nian looked shy, "It's too expensive, I can't take it." Xiao Suiping refused, picked up the scroll and decided to give it to her.Liu Nian smiled and hugged the painting together, "Xie Xiaoya, these two paintings are very precious, each of the elders of the Xie family and the Zhang family will have a copy, okay?" Xiao Suiping nodded obediently, "Okay."

Back home, Liu Nian secretly told Tang Nian, "Brother, Xie Xiaoya is so generous." Such a young child should be very protective of his territory.Tang Nian smiled slightly, "Xiaoqi, my daughter is not like you." Your greedy appearance when you were a child almost made your father worry to death.

The Marquis of Nanning set up a small dinner party, "Celebrate for our little Suiping." At such a young age, he has a heart for the common people, it's incredible, it's incredible.This is also praised, and that is also praised, Xiao Suiping was held in Zhang Yu's arms, and the branches of laughter trembled wildly.

During the banquet, Yaya gave gifts to Xiao Suiping, Shen Mai, Yue Pei, and Fu Shen were antique toys, An Zan was Han Taichong's Tian family customs map, and the four grandfathers were all happy, "How can this be possible, keep it for the children. "Little Suiping Ghost, with a sweet smile, pushed into the arms of the grandfathers, making the grandfathers very happy.They have never seen any treasure in their life, what is strange is the child's kindness.

The next day, Tang Nian and Ya Ya brought Xiao Suiping, Liu Nian and Zhang Yi brought two large carts of medicinal herbs and supplements, and returned to Xie's mansion in a grand manner.Yaya sent Xiao Suiping a picture of Zhou Zhonglang's Lady Outing in Spring. Mrs. Xie was so happy that her great-granddaughter could give him a famous painting of the Tang Dynasty!
Tang Nian was quiet, but Fleeting Nian was chatty, and everyone in the room could only hear her chattering.Fourth Master Xie looked at his precious little daughter with a half smile but not a smile, Xiao Qi, good girl, you still talk so much, you are really a chatterbox.

Uncle Xie and Mrs. Xie smiled at the corners of their mouths, looking at the juniors generously and gently.Unwilling to be lonely, Xiao Suiping yelled "Little No, no no" loudly, and was startled by the fleeting years, hurriedly courteously said to the junior, "Xie Xiaoya, it's your turn." Come on, come on, I'll give you the stage.

Xiao Suiping stood proudly in the middle of the room, chattering.Her speech is still unclear, listening to her is basically based on guessing, but starting from Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie, they all listened with interest and guessed with interest, "Sister Yi, do you mean that you miss your great-grandfather, Great-grandmother?" Xiao Suiping nodded winkingly, coaxing Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie very warmly.

Song Nian, Crane Nian, Yan Nian, and Bai Nian are all here, and the whole family is gathered together, which is very happy.After chatting and laughing with the old man and the old lady for a long time, Tang Nian and Liu Nian stood up at the right time, "I'm going to visit my wife." Although they don't like the aunt, but according to the etiquette, they must go to greet her.

Yannian busy also stood up, "I'll go with Liudi and Xiaoqi." Xiao Bai'er said, "I'll go too." The two brothers have the same idea, they want Tangnian and Liunian to come in and spend time with the fourth wife Talking about it, the fourth wife is open-minded, and the disease may be cured.

Old Madam Xie smiled and said: "You go as you please, Sister Yi stays." Don't let the child see the fourth wife, remember the events of the day, and make the child feel uncomfortable.For such a small person, who knows whether she will remember or not remember what happened that day.

Yannian and Bo Nian respectfully agreed, and accompanied Tangnian, Liunian and his wife out of Xuanhui Hall.Walking all the way, talking all the way, "My wife is frightened, she often sleeps badly at night, and she is often in a daze during the day. If someone often talks to her and forgives her heart, she will smile more and eat more. I can eat half a bowl more."

Brothers and sisters have always been harmonious, so Tang Nian and Liu Nian couldn't say much, they just smiled.Fleeting Years is disdainful in his heart, fourth wife, can you be a little bit promising?You did not do things properly, will you die if you readily admit it?If you don't have the courage to admit your mistakes, then you have the backbone to be sick all the time, so what a pity.

Objectively speaking, the fourth wife is not very kind, but she is not so vicious.If she wanted to harm Xiao Suiping on purpose, that would really be wronging her, she simply didn't have the guts or the courage.She was just idle and bored, and wanted to set rules for the concubine and daughter-in-law, but her luck was bad, and Zhaoren and Hu Yue, a mother and daughter, were recruited.Zhaoren and Hu Yue are really like snakes and scorpions.

With so many princesses in the capital, whose mother-in-law wants to set rules for her daughter-in-law?Most of them are polite.In this era, both "filial piety" and "loyalty" are emphasized. The rules and etiquette are strong, and the imperial power is also strong. Are you going to reason with the royal family?idle.Whether you like it or not, since you are married to a daughter-in-law of a princess, if you don't bully her and she doesn't bully you, it's okay for everyone to live in peace?However, the fourth wife has lived in peace for too long, and she wants to make trouble out of nothing.

If something really happened, if the fourth wife is a responsible person, she will openly admit that she "does not know people well" and "makes friends carelessly". In her capacity, whether it is an elder or a junior, whoever has the nerve to blame her more, whoever Are you embarrassed to hold on to this little braid?But she only dared to cause trouble and did not dare to face the consequences. Once something happened, she "sick".

"Sick", waiting for the generous elders to comfort her, waiting for the filial juniors to comfort her, waiting for Fourth Master Xie to tender her.As a result of Xiao Suiping going through such a danger, could it be that she wanted to use this "illness" to avoid all responsibilities?What a beautiful thought.

Both Tang Nian and Liu Nian were silent, and quietly walked towards the fourth room.At the gate of the courtyard, Bai Nian held Tang Nian's hand tightly, and Yan Nian looked at Tang Nian apologetically, in addition to apology, there was also hope in his eyes.Tang Nian smiled slightly, "It's been a while since I greeted my wife, let's go in." Brother, it's always a brother.

The fourth wife was sitting under the window in a daze, her back was a little lonely.With a sore nose, Yannian said in a hoarse voice, "Mother, the sixth younger brother and younger siblings have come to see you! There are also Xiaoqi and Naishan."

The fourth wife turned her head after a while, her eyes timid.She hid in the room for several months, she was not as energetic as before, her face was pale, and she lost a lot of weight.Fleeting Years saw it in his eyes, and really didn't understand, fourth wife, you would rather hide like this, embarrass yourself so much, than stand up and confess your mistake openly?
Tang Nian and Liu Nian all saluted and greeted according to the rules, and the fourth wife hurriedly said: "Get up! My own girls, you don't need this vain gift." Yannian and Bai Nian helped Tangnian up with gratitude in their eyes.

The fourth wife asked shyly, "Is sister Yi better?" Yaya smiled and replied, "It's much better. She is a famous doctor and an eminent monk. It's a lot of trouble. Although she's better now, she just follows the orders of the doctors." I told you that I can't live at home these few years, but temporarily live in the princess's mansion. We can't be filial in front of the wife, so please take care of the wife."

The fourth wife wiped away her tears, "Speaking of filial piety, I'm really sorry that I haven't greeted the old lady in the past few months." Yannian comforted softly, "Mother, you'll get well soon, won't you be able to give the old lady How are you?" Xiao Bai'er's eyes were also red, "You're getting better soon, I'm so anxious. Sixth sister was crying when she came back."

Seeing Yannian and Bai Nian like this, Tang Nian felt uncomfortable, and said a few words in a low voice, "Madam, please take care of your body and relax. I hope you recover soon." Yaya smiled and glanced at Tang Nian, Tang Nian he Really good very good.

Coming out of the fourth wife's room, Yannian patted Tangnian's shoulder with emotion, but couldn't say a word.Bai Nian was depressed, "Seventh Sister, last time Sixth Sister came, she cried a lot. I love my sister, and I also love my mother, and I feel uncomfortable." Liu Nian sighed softly, "My wife will be fine, don't worry. When the wife gets well, Sixth Sister will stop crying." What's wrong with Jinnian?I hope not.They are all father's children, and he feels sorry for whoever suffers.

Back at Xuanhui Hall, the brothers and sisters all looked happy.The old lady Xie saw it and felt grateful.Leaving aside whether I feel sorry for Yulang's daughter-in-law, can I not feel sorry for Yan'er and Xiao Bai'er?Yulang's daughter-in-law has a bad day, and the two brothers have a bad day.Alas, I hope that after Yulang's daughter-in-law is cured, she can live a life in peace, and don't think about those who have nothing.

At noon, I had a reunion dinner with He Lele.Zhang Xi talked about calligraphy and painting with the old man, Uncle Xie and Fourth Master Xie talked about homework, Yannian frequently drank with Tangnian, and Xiao Baier, although light on alcohol, also drank a few glasses with his father and brother.

Liunian and Yaya had lunch with the old lady, and then took Xiao Suiping to see He Li.Xiao Suiping is used to Yaya not being able to hug her, when he saw He Li, He Li didn't hug her, Xiao Suiping pursed his mouth aggrieved, looking extremely pitiful.Fleeting Nian giggled, "Xie Xiaoya, come here, my aunt loves you." Look, no one wants you, right?Only my aunt is a relative.

Xiao Suiping flirted in Liunian's arms for a while, then went down to play.Liu Nian smiled and talked to her belly, "I'm my sister, do you know? Be good, my sister loves you." It doesn't feel bad to be a good aunt.It shouldn't feel bad to be a good sister, right?
