Ding Tian's Ancient Life

Chapter 321 Year-end Tribute

Concubine Ning really broke her mother's heart because of this son. She can be picky about the son left by the previous princess, but she loves her own son very much. An old-age child who was born with the strength of two bulls and two tigers

child.

At the beginning because she was young and ignorant, after she became pregnant, she took care of it too well, and the child was too big. At that time, it was difficult to give birth, and she almost killed two people.

It was only later that I found out that she had been tricked. The staff left behind by the previous concubine still firmly controlled the entire palace. She was a new step-concubine, and she was not a daughter born in the family. She lacked experience in upbringing. Being fooled by others, the child was desperately protected, but in the end, the child was protected too much, and the birth was difficult, and the baby was raised too big, and the birth was even more difficult.

If it weren't for her good health, it would be easy to kill two people.

But also because of this, she will never be able to raise her again in her whole life. No matter whether she is a widow or not, she can only have such a widow in this life.

child.

Luckily, it's a boy!

If it's a girl, she's finished.

So from then on, she was determined to make her son King Ning even more.

"Whoever marries a daughter-in-law is the married woman? Don't they all marry the other party's family background? The rights of father and brother!" Wang You can see this point: "What kind of daughter-in-law do you want to tell me, mother?" Son?"

"Mother was just thinking about a better daughter-in-law than your elder sister-in-law. You are already inferior to your elder brother in terms of status. Do you want your daughter-in-law to be born inferior to your elder brother's daughter-in-law?" Putting down the chopsticks: "It's just that he hasn't talked about the marriage, which is embarrassing for mother."

If the eldest is not married, how can the second get married?

King Ning's marriage needs to be decided by the emperor, but the emperor will not open his mouth, who dares to propose marriage to King Ning casually?A few years ago, she just wanted to use some means to tell him the second lady of Changchun Marquis Mansion, but he just flung his sleeves and left. It took him three and a half years to go to the Northeast, and he couldn't kill him in the Northeast... ...As a result, the family's parent, Chunhou's mansion, turned around and sent the second lady in the mansion to the palace draft, and was selected. She was a beauty at the first seal, and was promoted to Zhaoyi and Ning Zhaoyi after she went to bed.

Now he has been promoted to Concubine Ning again!

This dynasty continued the concubine hierarchy system of the previous dynasty, and the titles were ranked in order of rank: Empress; Imperial Concubine; Guifei; Xianfei, Shufei, Zhuangfei, Jingfei, Huifei, Shunfei, Kangfei, Ningfei; Concubine Xian, Concubine Zhuang, Concubine Li, Concubine Hui, Concubine An, Concubine He, Concubine Xi, Concubine Kang, Concubine Ning; Zhaoyi, Jieyu, Beauty, Talent, Xuanshi, Ladies, etc. are not counted. Titled ones are higher than untitled ones.

Concubine Ning was angry, but at the same time she was a little happy. Although her mother's family was not reliable, Concubine Ning was in the palace for her mother.

Parents face.

And Concubine Ning in the palace is Concubine Ning's backer.

Because there is no empress dowager in the palace, this old concubine is a kind person. When she was young, she also took care of the current emperor.Concubine Ning was thinking, she really couldn't do it, so she begged the old concubine to see if she could give the emperor some advice?Prince Ning's marriage is not in a hurry, and her son's marriage is not to be delayed!

Although it is said that a man can talk about marriage no matter how old he is, the longer Wang Zuo is King Ning, the more secure his throne will be. The personal guards have been increased.

Now how many royal guards in the court are reduced and reduced again?

As far as he is concerned, it will increase instead of decrease, and he has the final say in the palace, and the key to the warehouse is controlled by his people. As a concubine, she can't even get 500 taels of silver on the official account of the palace. arrive.

There is only 200 taels of silver per month, what can 200 taels of silver do?

Although she has a dowry herself, can it be compared with the entire Prince Ning's Mansion?

Besides, it's not that she has never been in charge of Prince Ning's Mansion. In the treasury of Prince Ning's Mansion, there are 100 million taels of gold in the bottom of the box alone. The big white gold ingots are placed in the warehouse, and they have piled up into a golden mountain. .

There are even more than 300 million taels of silver. This is a fixed bank of silver that has never been touched for generations.

There are thousands of fertile farmlands stretching across the outskirts of the capital...there are more than [-] farms in the north of the south of the Yangtze River...the dowry of the princesses of the past dynasties, and the shops of the palace...

A King Ning is not as simple as inheriting the throne alone, but also the power of Prince Ning's Mansion, the money of Prince Ning's Mansion, and the glory of Prince Ning's Mansion!

You said you changed Princess Ning, can you not be moved?

For a moment, Concubine Ning's expression was very strange, she fell into memory and imagination, but it was Wang You who knocked on the soup bowl with chopsticks: "Mother, what are you thinking? It's time to eat!"

"Oh, mother, just think about it..." Princess Ning felt that she lost her appetite after eating: "I don't know when this day

What a head! "

Although the food was good, it was roast duck and lotus leaf steamed pancake, but...it tasted good, but it was not pleasant to eat.

Now she can only eat this: "Not even a bird's nest!"

It is said that this year's portion has already been given, and if you want to eat again, you have to pay for it yourself.

Can the bird's nest bought outside be the same as the bird's nest distributed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs?

The bird's nest from the House of Internal Affairs is a tribute, and although it is good to sell it outside, it cannot be compared with the tribute. In addition, if you buy it outside, you have to pay for it yourself... She felt even more aggrieved.

The couple are eating roast duck, and the apse of Yin'an Hall ahead is also eating roast duck.

"Let me tell you, this roast duck, if you want to eat it, you have to eat it lightly, otherwise it will be greasy after a few bites." Ding Tian used a piece of lotus leaf cake, brushed a layer of sweet bean sauce on the surface of the cake, then put onion shreds, Coriander, and a strip of pickled cucumber... No way, there is no fresh cucumber, but there is fresh shredded radish, which is quite refreshing.

Put on the warm roasted duck meat, roll it up, take a bite... delicious!

As for the duck skeleton, the cook made a soup with thin dragon beard noodles and a little blanched cabbage heart in it.

"Well, it's delicious!" Wang Zuo ate the lotus leaf cake that Ding Tian rolled for him. It's not like he hasn't eaten it before, but he always feels that it is not as delicious as Ding Tian's roll.

"Is it delicious?" Ding Tian also served him a bowl of duck noodle soup: "After eating this, use some noodle soup."

The two of them had a meal and took a rest. Ding Tian was about to go back. He didn't want to live in the palace this time because he had some things to do and documents to write. It was the Chinese New Year. Wang Zuo also reminded him: " Remember to send tribute to the palace."

"Send what?" Ding Tian was dumbfounded.

"Give tribute, don't forget, you are still Yun Qiwei!" Wang Zuo said: "Whenever there are festivals, people with titles will send tribute to the palace. It doesn't need to be expensive, but it must be sincere and must If it is novelty, just give some gold, silver and jewelry or something, it will make people feel disrespectful to Junfu."

"Ah?" Ding Tian was worried: "Then I need to give some rare treasure... Where can I get such a thing?"

The person living in the palace is the emperor, what can he give?

What's so special about him that he can be a gift from the emperor?

"It doesn't need to be expensive, the main thing is to pay attention. The emperor doesn't lack your things. The main thing is to show your loyalty to the emperor." Wang Zuo secretly told him: "I made the miso with our own hands last time. Has the gift been sent to the palace? At that time, the emperor heard that I personally made the miso, and the emperor liked it very much."

Ding Tian thought for a while: "Then can I cook something to eat?"

"It's okay to eat, but it's best to have something to eat and use. Don't make something like the charcoal pencil from last time. Make some... other gadgets, don't give any rare treasures Yibao, if it doesn't match your identity, it will make the emperor suspect you... accepting bribes and the like... that's not good."

Now Ding Tian is a small person in the eyes of the emperor's uncle, but a clean person, the emperor's uncle's value is the most important thing, he can give him gold, silver and money.

"I understand that." Ding Tian has been in ancient times for a long time, and he also knows that although he is a modern person, in ancient times, he may not be able to be better than ancient people.

The ancients didn't necessarily all have rigid heads. If they really played, they might not be able to take advantage.

"That's good, let's go back, next time we rest, let's go shopping again!" Wang Zuo is very interested in shopping. He didn't think shopping was good before, but now he really wants to go shopping with Ding Tian and discuss what to prepare for the New Year. Such New Year's goods.

It's like a couple living together, maybe they don't need this, but Wang Zuo feels very satisfied.

After sending Ding Tian away, Wang Sanjin came to report: "The people from the Marquis of Changchun are here."

"Take it to the study." Wang Zuo's blissful expression immediately returned to his ice face.

When Ding Tian returned home, he saw that everything had been tidied up at home, and he was still a little worried, not knowing what to present to the emperor.

In the past, I only thought that being a nobleman was very good, but now I don’t think so. I used to feel comfortable not in Beijing, but now I have to pay tribute to people in Beijing... But what is the tribute?

Ding Tian didn't think of what to do until evening, when he was eating.

His dinner is chicken stewed with mushrooms, served with small flower rolls, and a plate of scrambled eggs with green onions. Eggs are very expensive in winter, but Ding Tian’s chicken rack not only raises chickens, but also has a heating The fire wall can provide some heating when cooking, plus the leftover pork bones, sheep bones and other things at home are ground into powder, mixed with some rice bran for the chicken to eat, and the chicken is in the nest , warm and there is no shortage of food, naturally, you can continue to lay eggs.

Not only eggs, but also goose eggs and duck eggs at home.

It’s just a little secret….

There is also a greenhouse at home, which is specially used for growing vegetables, and it is only provided for my family to eat.

When Ding Tian was feeling worried, he saw Xiao Hanamaki, and he thought of something... Bingpi!

Now that there are such things as crystal shrimp dumplings, there is also the method of Chengpi, and Bingpi is to sift Chengfen, glutinous rice flour and sticky rice flour together, add sugar, fresh milk and oil and mix them into a paste. Steam over high heat for 10 to [-] minutes, take it out and let it cool, knead it into a soft and smooth dough, and then fill it with fillings.

In addition to the white ice skin, there are also green matcha ice skin and purple purple potato ice skin.

Best of all, this thing can be stored at low temperatures for a week without breaking.

As for the gift...he would think of a way.

So Ding Tian called the housekeeper, the cook, and Ma Liu's family...

The next day, Ding Tian went to work, okay, everyone in the prison, whether they are prisoners or servants, are all very happy, because the Chinese New Year is coming.

Seeing them so happy, Ding Tian was also happy.

He arranged in the cell for the New Year's Eve, shift work, and the meals for the prisoners. They were in the cell. For the three-day New Year's Eve prison meal, the staple food was dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage. Each person had a bowl of braised pork. .

A small jug of wine for one person is considered a year.

After the arrangement, it is also the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month. On the [-]rd of the twelfth lunar month, everyone has a holiday, and the imperial court also seals the pen, and generally no longer works.

The writing will not start until after February [-], but some institutions will open the office after the [-]th of the first lunar month.

It's just that the executives have passed February [-].

Ding Tian was officially on vacation. After returning home, he found that his family had arranged everything properly, and there was nothing wrong with him at all.

However, he is still worrying about the tribute. It is not enough to just have ice skin snacks, but also some other gift... He is not very good at handwork, so he can't... make a dynamite bag for the emperor, right?
