[Qing] Empress Xiao Chengren Reborn

Zhang Lu handed the things over respectfully, and when Liang Jiugong took them and put them in front of Xuan Ye, Zhang Lucai said: "Return to the emperor, this is what the master asked the slave to bring to the emperor, and said that the emperor asked the master to calculate the accounts a few days ago." , the master said that she had finished the calculations, so she gave it to the slave, the master said that the emperor should have a look, and also asked Mr. Liang to go, and said that he wanted to open a private treasury, or that the emperor had promised the master."

After Zhang Lu finished repeating his master's words, he said again, "Second Elder Brother didn't cry today, Second Elder Brother also likes the stuff that the Emperor sent the day before yesterday."

In the past two years, the empress has trusted him and Su Rui very much. In the first year, he and Su Rui could hardly even enter the East Nuan Pavilion, and they couldn't even see the queen for several days. Kun Ning Almost everything in the palace was controlled by the dowry maid brought in by the queen and the two nuns, but he and Su Rui were trained by Su Ma, so they naturally knew the rules of the palace. She did not act rashly, but retreated silently, and handed over all the errands in her hands. If the people around the queen empress didn't understand anything, they would go to help.

At the beginning, both he and Su Rui could only do errands and pass on messages. Later, the Empress gradually saw that he and the people she brought in were in harmony with each other, so she gradually made them what they should do. They have returned everything to them, and obviously trusted them a lot more than before. Now the two nuns have to take care of the second elder brother, and Ruqing and Ruxiang are responsible for the affairs of the queen and the palace. He and Su Rui One, he is in charge of things outside Kunning Palace.

Zhang Lu usually did it for the queen to pass the message to the emperor.

Because of the return and rise of his and Su Rui's status, it is normal for him to see the empress every day, and if he can see the empress, he can also see the second elder brother every day.

Xuan Ye listened to Zhang Lu's words and smiled. The second elder brother has been five months old now, and he is still a small ball, but he has grown up a lot and is more tender than when he was born. Some, and the more he grows up, the more he can see that the child looks very good. Xuanye loves the second elder brother very much, and the second elder brother can laugh and make noises now. He ordered the production office to make a lot of new ones. Toys that can attract children's attention are sent to the second elder brother to play, just hoping that he will like them.

Xuan Ye wanted to laugh when he thought of Second Elder Brother's bright eyes with excitement every time he saw him and Zhu Jin eating together.

"Okay, you go back and tell your master, I will send Liang Jiugong over in a while."

He didn't expect Zhu Jin to settle the accounts so quickly. He originally thought that it would take her a month, but he didn't expect that she would finish it in less than a month. Sure enough, the temptation of the private treasury is greater.

After dismissing Zhang Lu, Xuan Ye glanced at Zhujin's accounts for a while. After looking at it for a while, he was just looking at it casually, but he didn't expect to see himself in. Zhujin's accounts were clearly and neatly written. It is clear at a glance, it can be seen that it took a lot of effort, not only to write down the silver obtained by Zheng He's seven voyages to the West for small trades, but also to list the amount of money that Zheng He would make if he did large trades according to his requirements. Xuan Ye curled his lips slightly as he looked at the amount of money in that row.

"When the queen was at home, she followed Yi Ergenjueluo to manage the house?"

Gabra didn't know why Xuanye asked this question, but he only knew that the pearl brocade had sent something, the emperor laughed when he saw it, he thought for a while, and replied: "Return to the emperor, it is indeed like this, the slave daughter-in-law met the empress when she was six years old. After counting, I taught the empress to settle the accounts. Later, when the empress was eight years old, the slave's daughter-in-law discussed with the slave's Ama, and let the empress manage the accounts of the house for a year. In this way, the empress did manage the house. And that day In [-], all the accounts in the mansion have been handled very well, there is no major mistake, and the accounts can be matched."

"Oh? I didn't expect this, it's no wonder, no wonder she's so good at settling accounts,"

Xuanye gave Kabula a brief account of the conversation he had with Zhujin last time about overseas trade, and then said, "I intend to open overseas trade, and you must handle this errand properly for me. These accounts are The empress calculates it herself, take it back and take a closer look, ponder over it, and write a charter to me when you come back, Kabula, you remember, I asked you to do this, and this will be done in the future It was you who took over, and you must make it beautiful for me."

Gabra suddenly felt that the pressure on his body increased sharply, but he has always been a person who does not complain, so he replied immediately: "The servant obeys the order."

Kabula knelt down, Xuan Ye got up and called Liang Jiugong in: "Go, go and open the private treasury, and then invite the queen."

When Zhu Jin heard that Xuan Ye had opened a private treasury and asked him to come over, she took the second elder brother with a smile and went there. When Xuan Ye saw the second elder brother, his eyes suddenly softened, and while teasing the second elder brother, he asked Zhu Jin: "It's so cold outside, why did you bring him out?"

It's deep winter now, although it hasn't snowed, but the capital is also very cold, Xuan Ye is afraid that he will freeze the second elder brother, Zhu Jin smiled and said: "It's okay, he stayed in Kunning Palace for a long time, It's good to come out to get some fresh air and bask in the sun. Dress him a lot, the clothes are very warm, the emperor doesn't have to worry, let alone, "

Zhu Jin bit her lips and smiled, "What's more, I want to go to Huang Ama's private treasury to see what's new, why can't the second elder brother not go?"

As soon as Zhu Jin finished speaking, the second elder brother seemed to understand her words, and looked at Xuan Ye with a pair of dark eyes. Being dishonest in the nurse's arms, the little short hands kept rushing towards Xuan Ye, as if they wanted him to hold her.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Jin laughed loudly and said: "Your Majesty, look, what the concubine said is indeed true!"

Xuan Ye lowered his eyes and smiled, the second elder brother still can't speak, but those eyes are very similar to his own, he can't speak, but his eyes seem to be able to talk, Xuan Ye loves his son Zaohui, and he doesn't care if everyone is there at the moment In front of him, he took the second elder brother from the wet nurse and hugged him directly, wrapped him tightly with the extremely warm cloak on the second elder brother, then smiled at Zhu Jin and said, "Let's go, I will take you and the second elder brother together." Elder brother, go to the private warehouse to see what's new!"

Entering the private treasury, Zhu Jin and his party looked at things and asked Xuan Ye: "The emperor has given names to Da Gege and elder brother. When is the emperor going to name the second elder brother? Earlier, when the concubines asked the emperor, the emperor just said no." Think about it, it has been several months now, can the emperor think about it?"

Da Gege, who was born in Zhang family, was named Shu Yierha, which translates to the meaning of lotus flower. My elder brother gave her the name Chengrui. According to Xuan Ye, it is an auspicious and good name.

When he came to the second elder brother, Xuan Ye chose left and right. He read all the words that sounded good, looked good, and had good meanings, but he was not satisfied. The second elder brother has been five months now, and a name has been delayed until now.

If it wasn't for Xuan Ye to choose the name, and she didn't want to disturb Xuan Ye's thoughts, and in order to take care of Xuan Ye's excitement in naming his favorite second elder brother, she really wanted to give Cheng Hu this name. Said two words.

Xuan Ye smiled, hugged the second elder brother and came over mysteriously: "I have already thought about it, but it is not the time to give it to the second elder brother now. I will give him a name when the second elder brother celebrates his first birthday!"

Immediately afterwards, he kissed the second elder brother's cheek again, which made the second elder brother giggle, and he said with a smile: "This name is very good, I like it very much, and you will definitely like it, Ah Jin!"

"Since the emperor has made up his mind, the concubines don't have to worry about it anymore,"

Zhu Jin already knew the name by heart, but she just smiled, and then her attention was all attracted by the things in the private treasury. Compared with the name of the second elder brother, the private treasury is more shocking , she suddenly saw something, her eyes lit up, she walked over directly, stood in front of that thing for a while, then turned her head and asked Xuan Ye who had caught up, "Can this still be played?"

"If you don't read so many good things, why do you still look at this? Do you like it?"

Xuan Ye said, "This is a Western thing, called a piano. This piano can no longer be played, and it has been repaired for too long. Even if it is repaired, it can only hear a sound. It really can't make a tune. This piano It was brought to China by Matteo Ricci in those days as a tribute to Emperor Wanli. Later, after 40 years, Emperor Chongzhen discovered it and asked Tang Ruowang to enter the palace to repair it. Later, when we entered the Qing Dynasty, the late emperor was also called Tang Ruowang. I played it for him a few times, and then the piano was so broken that I couldn’t play it, so I put it away, and I was lucky enough to hear it when I was a child, so I put it in my private treasury.”

Both he and the emperor's grandmother kept a lot of relics from the pre-Ming Dynasty in their private treasury, and all the relics that could be displayed were displayed. He didn't display them like this, and only kept them in the treasury. If Zhujin didn't see it, the piano might be It can only be placed in the library forever and never see the light of day again.

When Xuan Ye was explaining, the second elder brother became very interested in this piano. Xuan Ye saw that he couldn't stop jumping on the piano, so he put the second elder brother on the piano bench, and opened the piano cover again. The second elder brother was laughing, it was very novel, his little hands were beating back and forth on the keys, and the piano could still happen, but the sound it made was not good at all.

"Second elder brother likes it so much, the emperor will give this piano to his concubine?"

Seeing this qin always gives Zhu Jin the illusion that he is still in a modern civilized society. Seeing that the second elder brother likes it, he wants to move this qin to Kunning Palace for storage. It doesn’t matter if he can’t play it. Look is also good.

"This piano can't be moved anymore. The craftsman said that if it is moved again, I'm afraid it will fall apart. Even if it's for the second elder brother to play with, I don't feel at ease."

Xuan Ye hugged the second elder brother again, warmed his little hands that were a little cold from playing the piano, turned his head and smiled at Zhu Jin, "The people in the construction office don't know how to make these Western things. Son, I asked Nan Huairen to draw up the blueprints, then sent a few people from the manufacturing office to his residence, asked him to teach them how to do it, and asked them to make a new piano and come out. , I will send it to Kunning Palace for you and Second Elder Brother."

It's better to put this decades-old antique piano in a private warehouse, so as not to hurt his second elder brother.
