In Situ Yue's view, New Year's is extremely boring. On the first day of the first lunar month, Prince Rong's Mansion received gifts from various families, and also sent out many gifts. They went to the families of various clans to pay New Year's greetings non-stop all day long. At this time, Situ Yue always complains more about the royal relatives psychologically.

It is worth mentioning that Zhen Yingjia's wife, Mrs. Zhen, finally arrived in the capital. With her arrival, a large amount of jewels, gold, silver and embroidered cloth entered the capital. A copy of the value of the gift was returned.Back at the palace in the evening, Yun Xiao and Yun Xia came in with gift slips for her to check. On the gift slip was the lotus water bowl that Zhao Kuangyin had used.The second item below is washed suet jade, which is specially marked as an ancient relic of the Tang Dynasty.The third piece is Xicongtianxiang pen holder, which is marked as an old thing used by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty.What else is the eyebrow-raising inkstone, Dingyao three-legged brush washer, and each piece is marked with their former masters being either princes or emperors.Situ Yue no longer had the desire to look down and touched the thick stack of gift slips, and estimated the value, it seemed that fewer gifts were given in return.

"If you want my servant to tell you, the Zhen family has done a great job. There are a few treasures that can be regarded as rare treasures. I have seen them, and they are all exquisite." Yunxia borrowed the footwashing water from the young maid and put the basin on the table. On the ground, Situ Yue threw the gift list, took off his boots and socks, put his feet in the basin, and asked Yun Xiao, "When you were in the palace, did Concubine Zhen spend a lot of money?"

"It's very rich. In the past, Concubine Zhen used gold leaves to reward people. It is said that for a while, the emperor didn't like to go to Concubine Zhen's palace, and some people rushed to curry favor with Concubine Zhen, just because she was a treasure when she made a move. .”

In other words, these things are not very precious to the Zhen family.Situ Yue couldn't sleep well all night. The main reason was that there were too many utensils used by the previous emperor in the gift list. If they were accepted in such a grand manner, someone would use this as an excuse to buy a few of their own.

The second day of junior high school is the day when married women go home. Situ Yue can't take care of so much. There are no female relatives in her palace and she doesn't have to accompany the female relatives back to her mother's house. She ran directly to the palace. The palace is full of married princesses. Situ Yue rode his horse and squeezed in.

"Why did you come here in such a hurry today?" The princesses all came back, bringing their grandchildren one by one to make the emperor happy, and when they talked with Situ Yue in the Chongzheng Hall, they were still full of joy .

"Look, it's the annual ceremony of the Zhen family." Situ Yue presented the gift list to the emperor.

"Let's take a look, um, don't mention it, there are still a few good things." The emperor slowly flipped through the gift list, "What are they for, you accept what is given to you, and hurriedly entered the palace just to let grandpa look at this?"

"The Zhen family is too much. I heard that Guangnianli brought in sixteen carts. Yesterday, Mrs. Zhen went to various palaces to visit the female relatives regardless of her fatigue. Master Zhen has been with you every day these days. You must have said a lot of difficult things about your family." Situ Yue shook the gift list a few times, "Looking at the weight of this, it can't be regarded as a difficult life."

The emperor had a happy face, and immediately asked her with a straight face, "You are looking for the Zhen family for the new year, who doesn't have a family, and I promised Zhen Yingjia yesterday, and I will go to the south next year in the spring. One is to inspect river engineering and spring plowing, and the other is to see the customs and customs in the south of the Yangtze River. I am getting older, so I don’t know how many more times I can go to the south.” After speaking, I was very melancholy.

Situ Yue has always been able to judge the emperor's emotions. She can tell whether the emperor is really angry or fake.

"The southern tour is definitely going to be a southern tour. The territory is vast, and the emperor naturally wants to tour the four directions. But when is the southern tour scheduled? The household department should have made preparations early. Is my grandfather going to live in the southern tour according to the convention? Time, if you want to reduce or exempt the imperial rations that should be paid this year, tell your grandson in advance, let's make arrangements early."

"Of course, I don't know what's in my mind right now. It won't be too late when I start writing after the new year. I still have to live in Zhen's house this year. Mother Zhen is sick, so I should visit her once or twice."

Situ Yue sneered in his heart, "Grandson thinks that he should not live in Zhen's house anymore. There is an old man in their house. If you go, everyone will be turned on their backs. The old man can't rest in peace. Why don't we go back to the ancestral house? It’s being repaired every year, it’s a home, so why live in someone else’s home.”

The house that Situ Yue mentioned was the place where the family lived when Tai-zu had not made a fortune. It was destroyed by war, and later the Taizong Dynasty allocated funds to build a palace. The area is about [-] mu of land. It is said that it is also like a pavilion. There is no shortage of samples, it is estimated that it is a little small.

"There are no people in the palace for a long time, and you are not popular. It is better to live in Zhen's house. It is more comfortable there."

The emperor wanted to support the Zhen family, so naturally he would not easily change the itinerary.

"The Zhen family has borrowed a total of 2305 million taels of silver from the national treasury in the previous pick-ups. The money was spent on pick-ups. Naturally, the Ministry of Households will not calculate interest for them. In addition, the Zhen family also borrowed more than 300 taels of silver. Ten thousand taels, this money is not for picking up the driver, the grandson will naturally have to pay interest. After all, the more than 200 million taels of silver was spent on state affairs, and furthermore, it was spent on the southern tour. Now outsiders think that the money was spent for you, and the Zhen family has used this as a coercion to delay repaying the money borrowed from the treasury, naively thinking that you can forgive their family's debt. To put it bluntly, we are eating People's soft mouth took other people's hands short."

"Slap" the emperor slapped Situ Yue with his own hands.

"The money was nominally spent on the Southern Tour. How much of it was enriched by the Zhen family and the grandson will not talk about it. Now that the father and king are gone, there is a saying that the father's debt is repaid by the son, and the grandson repays it when the son is gone." , The 2305 million taels of grandson was repaid, and the grandfather recruited Zhen Yingjia in a few days and told him that the grandson would repay the money within ten years, and asked the Zhen family to repay the more than 500 million silver they had borrowed with principal and interest within ten years. With tears streaming down his face, "Grandfather beat his grandson because of an outsider, and it wasn't the grandson who did something wrong to others. It was obviously the grandson who was right, but now it seems unreasonable to the grandfather." "

If he didn't collect the debt immediately, he was already showing weakness. The emperor naturally understood this truth. Situ Yue has a kind of hatred. The only difference is when he treats Chengyue. The reason is inside.Zhen Yingjia has nothing to do with Situ Yue, and Situ Yue's ten-year deadline is already the biggest concession.The emperor heaved a long sigh. From the emperor's point of view, it is necessary to recover the owed money, but he has gained the upper hand because of Zhen Yingjia's crying and complaining about that little nostalgia these days, and he even thought about giving the Zhen family glory again. .Thinking about it carefully, what Situ Yue said made some sense. The Zhen family's refusal to pay back the money was to make him feel guilty by coercing public opinion. The money spent on picking up the driver was far less than that spent on the Zhen family's own people.

For the Zhen family, the emperor no longer favored him just now.

"You got up, grandpa slapped you, you were crying, it's not that you haven't grown up. Go back, go back to your house to rest, don't go out to drink these few days, and you should know how to take care of yourself." After finishing speaking, he threw the gift list into Situ Yue's hand, "You can keep it with peace of mind, and if I give it to you, I'll take it."

Situ Yue knelt down respectfully.

The emperor didn't have a very happy day. At night, when he was going to bed in the empress's palace, the empress specially made a few plates of snacks for him, and said that the girl from the fifth princess's family should find her husband's now.

"Your mother and daughter have fallen in love with someone, how about the boy of that family? If it's not good, I don't want it." Now the emperor is living with a prostitute daughter, and her status is above the eldest princess, which is different from the domineering eldest princess. Yes, the fifth princess has always been gentle and virtuous, and she and her son-in-law are also affectionate, and they have three sons and three daughters.It was the eldest daughter of the fifth princess who should be looking for someone.

"Walking around in front of you every day, do you often see it?" The queen put a quibble on her face, carefully watching the emperor's face.

"Dangling every day, could it be Teng Xiangwei's?"

"I used to work in Tengxiangwei."

"Bo'er from the second princess's family is not, that kid is a prodigal son, and Wu'er doesn't like him. Is he a relative of the emperor?"

"Yeah, I think of their aunts and cousins, who are closer than others, and when they become husband and wife in the future, they will also love each other more than others."

"Cousin, could it be that you are looking for Cheng Yi from the Siwang family? Cheng Yi is also a good boy, but he is a foolish old man, and the fourth child has no idea. How old is Cheng Yi, and I don't know what to do for him." Intend."

The queen's face was a little tense, "I'm not talking about Cheng Yi, Cheng Yi is quite real, but the second mother of Wu'er's family doesn't like Cheng Yi."

"... She won't fall in love with Junming, will she?" The emperor's face became serious under the candlelight.

"Yes, Jun Ming came to the palace today, and their little sisters were playing in the pavilion behind the Chongzheng Hall. When King Rong came to greet me, he took a look from a distance. The maids said it was King Rong, The little girls blushed. Er Niang shyly answered when she came back, and leaned on me..."

"I can't rely on you, Junming's temper can't be suppressed by Erniang, let Wu'er make plans as soon as possible, I will be cautious about Junming's marriage."

After speaking, he stood up and was about to leave. Liu Jinzi came up and put a big coat on him, and brought him the jade to tie it on. The emperor was still saying, "I ran to the Chongzheng Hall today and stabbed me with a word, and I rewarded him." He rushed back with a slap, she was good and bad at one time, and the second mother raised her delicately, how could she bear her temper."

After speaking, Liu Jinzi had already tied a jade belt and put on a cloak for him.The emperor lifted his legs and walked out.The queen asked him from behind, "Where are you going?"

"Go to Yu Guiren's palace, you should rest earlier."

People had already left the hall, and a large number of court ladies and eunuchs followed, and they could not see their backs in the night wind for a while.

The queen waited for the others to go away and couldn't see her, so she looked angry and said to the mother beside her, "It's really an enemy. Er Niang fell in love with King Rong when she saw someone who was not good."

"Where is the fifth princess?"

"Tell Wu'er, let her find out the background of the fourth concubine, and tell Erniang to Cheng Yi. After all, she will be a princess of the county," finally murmured, "It's fine if you don't enter the palace, you won't be punished. "
