The weather has not yet warmed up, and the furnishings in the conservatory of the palace have just been changed. It is not as heavy as it was a year ago, but it is still very rich and noble, with the breath of spring. Mrs. Tao sat in it, looked up at the conservatory, and then lowered her head to drink tea.

The tea was fragrant, the snacks were exquisite, the carpet under her feet was extremely soft, and the flowers in the small vase had a faint fragrance. Mrs. Tao put down the tea cup with a slight smile on her lips.

There was the sound of footsteps. He turned to look outside the door and saw Yan Muan coming. He stood up slowly and greeted Fu Li, "I've met the princess."

"Mrs. Tao, you have been waiting for a long time."

Yan Mu'an sat down at the top, Mrs. Tao had a decent smile on her face, "I haven't seen you for many days, and the princess's complexion is getting better and better."

"I would also like to thank Mrs. Tao for the Ganoderma lucidum that she sent earlier. It is really a wonderful thing."

Except for the earlier time when Mrs. Tao came to seek an official position for her nephew, the two of them were not actually familiar with each other. Everything they knew was heard through various channels. However, one felt that the other was gaining momentum and wanted to stick with him. Come up; one wants to win him over, so his words are naturally quite polite.

"Princess, you're welcome. Being able to benefit the princess is the blessing of that fairy grass."

After saying that, she sent another gift of thanks, "Thanks to the princess's kind introduction to the prince, my nephew is now working in the Ministry of Industry. This is a small gift that my sister-in-law asked me to send to the princess. Please accept it. .”

Naturally, the things were all good. Yan Muan only glanced at them briefly and then withdrew his gaze. Caihe stepped forward and put the things away. Yan Muan said: "Mrs. You, you are so polite. It is only Mr. You who is very capable that attracted the attention of the prince." , I just mentioned it."

There is nothing wrong with her attitude in Mrs. Tao's eyes. You can get a glimpse of it just by looking at the luxuriously furnished conservatory. Princess Yong'an in front of her is not short of money, and she also has a husband who is equally powerful and status. She deserves to be above her. .

At the same time, I also understand in my heart that the person in front of me is no longer the person who was ridiculed and ridiculed by various wives behind their backs earlier. Her words now can influence the future of many people, and her attitude is subconsciously a bit lower than before, " The princess mentioned this sentence, "Money can't buy you. No matter how talented you are, it won't help if you don't have the princess' praise." The You family dare not forget the princess's kindness."

Yan Mu'an nodded with satisfaction, but said politely: "It's just a small matter, don't take it to heart. The prince once said that Mr. You is loyal to the emperor and loves the people. He has been in office many times in his life. He has shared the emperor's worries and asked for orders from the people. He is deeply loved by the people. He is If a minister of the imperial court is too old and unable to continue working, the emperor is not prepared to honor him."

"I think his grandson is also very capable. Under the guidance of the old man, he will definitely be able to do something great in the future."

There was a smile on Mrs. Tao's lips unconsciously. Her father was indeed respected. When these words came from the princess's mouth, and when she talked about it with the prince and the emperor, it was natural and different, which made people proud and extremely happy. .

"My father always taught his children and grandchildren to put the country before the family, be attentive to their duties, and do whatever they want in whatever position they sit in. Don't think about yourself, think more about the emperor, and think more about the people..."

Mrs. Tao praised her old father for a while, and wanted to let the prince and the emperor know the loyalty of the You family through Yan Mu'an. After she finished speaking, Yan Mu'an said: "I heard that Mr. You fell in love with the young Mr. Tao at a glance. Now, now It seems that this is definitely Mr. Tao’s blessing.”

Mrs. Tao once again pulled Master Tao and her children out to show off and boast. Yan Mu'an did not interrupt her, and then said: "Master Tao is in charge of the household department. I have heard about the difficulties in the household department, and I also heard the prince talk about it. Tao The burden on your shoulders is very heavy."

Mrs. Tao began to complain, saying that Mr. Tao was so anxious at home that he wished he could break a copper plate into eight-petal flowers. The adults and generals who begged for money were all chasing him to the house. What could he do if he couldn't get the money?

Yan Mu'an just listened, hearing how difficult it was for the Tao family who could spend fifty thousand taels on jewelry, and then expressed his own feelings. Who wouldn't be poor? Who could be poorer than a widowed king?

Then Mrs. Tao heard Yan Mu'an say that it was not easy for the king and the general in the army. If it weren't for the fact that the training took so much effort and it was impossible to do without eating, she would have wanted to eat just one meal a day.

The corner of Caihe's mouth twitched slightly. She didn't understand how they could make herself look so pitiful when both of them were so wealthy, especially her princess who exaggerated the prince's poverty. She even wanted to donate two taels of silver to help the prince to survive. Difficulties.

At this moment, Mrs. Tao was still holding the handkerchief and wiping away tears, "It's really not easy for Your Majesty."

Yan Mu'an took a deep breath, "That's what I say, but life is what people live. A fundraiser at Zhaojue Temple a year ago successfully alleviated the tight situation. No, with two pieces of silver, everything is ready. The soldiers wanted to buy more clothes, shoes and socks, change weapons, and buy war horses. I don’t know how many days they can spend that little money. No, I asked Yongyu, the son of Chengyi’s house, to set up a trading company and go there. Whatever is needed in the future will be purchased by the commercial bank, and it’s better to save one by one.”

Mrs. Tao understood, "What kind of business is it?"

Yan Mu'an said simply, "The details are still being prepared. When the time comes, we will need Mr. Pei's strong support."

"My lord is very willing to come to my house to help relieve the imperial court's worries. If Mr. Yu needs any help, just ask."

Yan Mu'an smiled and nodded, and the two talked for a while before Mrs. Tao said goodbye. She felt that the princess had gained a lot from this visit and would come more often in the future.

Yan Mu'an leaned on the back of the chair, picked up the tea cup and drank tea, and then breathed out a breath. Cai He was very puzzled and asked the doubts in his heart. Yan Mu'an said: "The Tao family's money is the Tao family's business. , I have money, do I have to give it to the court?"

"Mrs. Tao is a smart person. She naturally knows what to do next."

Desheng Trading Company does not belong to the imperial court, so it cannot directly let Mr. Tao contribute. But Desheng Trading Company works for the imperial court, so he should contribute. It depends on how it is run. I don’t know how many partners it will be able to cooperate with in the future when the trading bank starts operating. When dealing with such business, it is natural that the support of the court is indispensable.

Caihe thought about it for a while but didn't understand it, so she just didn't think about it. Yan Mu'an went for a leisurely stroll around the garden. Fortunately, the palace's garden was large, which gave her the illusion of going to the park. Otherwise, she would have felt a little suffocated if she didn't go out all day. Qu.

"Is this for flowers and plants?"

The gardener in the yard was busy, and Yan Muan found it interesting. The gardener said that spring was coming, and the flowers earlier had withered, and new flowers had to be planted. Yan Muan suddenly said that he would open a small piece of land to grow vegetables. “This princess wants to plant it herself.
