In the past ten years or so, tax revenue has only increased but not decreased. Even if there was a sudden natural disaster, not a single tael of silver has been allocated to help the people in Jiangnan.

At first, she only thought that Gu Jin had just sat on the throne and her finances were tight.

But later he gradually understood that he only regarded the wealthy land in Jiangnan as the imperial court's purse, and did not care at all whether the people in Jiangnan could really bear the taxes that had only increased but not decreased over the years.

She knew a little bit about the regent Gu Ji. According to the palace people, he was a handsome and upright man with outstanding talents.

As long as she can contribute a little to the people in Jiangnan, she is willing to give everything.

"Xia Yue, go get the locked wooden box from my cabinet."

"Yes."

After a while, Xia Yue held a delicate wooden box with a small lock.

Liang Fei took out a small copper key from the purse at her waist and opened the box.

"Sister, this is some gold and silver that I have saved in my daily life. I hope that I can ask the regent to take it back to my father to buy some things for the people and solve their urgent needs."

"These are the waterway maps of the south of the Yangtze River that I have drawn over the years when I have nothing to do in the palace, and I have marked the places prone to flooding."

"These books are methods for controlling floods that I copied from ancient books. I also added some methods based on the topography of Jiangnan County's waterways. They are all my own ideas. I hope they can help the regent."

Concubine Zhao Guifei looked at what was in front of her, and her heart was filled with excitement.

It turns out that a woman can also care about her family, country and the world.

Based on this alone, Sister Liangfei's talents should not be buried in this deep palace.

Concubine Zhao gently picked up the well-protected book in the box and flipped through a few pages. The neat small regular script with hairpin flowers was very pleasing to read.

"Sister Liangfei is actually so talented. My sister is willing to be inferior."

"It's just that my sister is buried in this deep palace."

Concubine Zhao sighed softly, with a look of helplessness on her face.

Liang Fei turned the Buddhist beads bracelet in her hand, "Sister, everyone in this palace is just a chess piece in his hands."

"The governor of Jiangnan, who can change his position with just one concubine, has worked hard for more than ten years and collected a large amount of cash for him. No matter how you calculate the account, it is a profit."

Concubine Zhao picked up the teacup and took a sip.

It's not like she, the Zhang family, is a noble concubine, but her father and brother have guarded the Western Region for so many years through life and death.

Even the noble empress only wanted to gain support from the Wen family and stabilize the court.

Except for the slight cloud on the tip of his heart,

The women in the harem are really pathetic.

Coming out of Wuyang Palace, Concubine Zhao was in a bad mood.

Ming Jinlan sent the news to Gu Ji, and also sent him Liang Fei's belongings.

Back in Chenghuan Palace, it was almost time for lunch.

Ruanruan has only been walking for half a day, and the fun of Chenghuan Palace has been reduced by half.

I simply lost my appetite and lay down to take a nap.

The Zhang family is even more lively than usual during the Chinese New Year.

Gu Ruoruan looked at the toys in the room and jumped up and down with joy.

After a while, Qiqi's little wooden horse, holding a small wooden sword, shouted that she wanted to fight with her grandfather.

After a while, I picked up the small puppet and played house.

Zhang Mingyue came to ask Ruanruan to have lunch.

"Ruanruan, my cousin cooked for you personally and made you sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus seed soup, as well as pear paste. How about we go to the dining room now."

Gu Ruoruan played all morning, and her little belly was really hungry. When she heard that there was something delicious, she immediately put down the toys in her hands and pulled Zhang Mingyue away quickly.

Zhang Mingyue looked at Ruanruan in a hurry and was afraid that she would run too fast and fall, so she picked up Gu Ruanruan and walked towards the dining room.

[My cousin is so nice, that bitch is not worthy of our cousin. 】

Zhang Mingyue couldn't help but feel nervous, and the soft voice in his head kept echoing.

When we arrived at the dining room, the round table was filled with delicacies that were both delicious and delicious, waiting for Gu Ruoruan to arrive.

General Zhang also specially ordered a craftsman to build a taller dining chair to place next to him.

"Our little Ruanruan is here. Come and sit down here, grandpa. Grandpa specially ordered someone to cook it for you. It's all what you like."

Zhang Mingyue placed Gu Ruoruan on the special dining chair. The small Ruanruan could just reach the large round table.

The family looked at Ruanruan's drooling appearance as soon as it was served on the table, and laughter instantly filled the entire Zhang family.

[The palace is almost suffocated, so it’s better for the Zhang family. They can eat whatever they want, and have grandpa cook whatever they want, but they don’t have to be occupied by the mother and concubine every day. 】

Thinking of the tragic ending of the Zhang family, Gu Ruannuan's little face became a little unhappy.

[Grandpa is so good, but it’s not worth it for my hateful father to still be suspicious of him. 】

General Zhang watched the little Ruanruan next to him gnawing on the chicken legs, and Ruanruan's heartbeat rang in his mind.

He didn't know the emperor's suspicion.

Now that there have been years of war, the Western Region no longer has the energy to invade, and the countries in the south are also in decline. It seems that there will be no war to fight in the future.

The birds are gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooked.

Since ancient times, those in power have been so miserable.

However, the Zhang family had great military exploits in the previous dynasty and had an extremely favored concubine in the harem, but they could not escape the fate of the rabbits dying and the dogs cooking.

General Zhang smiled bitterly, picked up a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.

"father,"

"grandfather"

Zhang Shaoqing and Zhang Qingyuan couldn't bear the old general drinking alone, so they raised their glasses at the same time.

"Dad, let us toast you together."

Everyone raised their wine glasses together, bowed to General Zhang, and drank the wine in their hands.

"We are a family, and we have to bear everything together. Dad, don't worry, your son will do his best to protect the Zhang family."

"Grandpa, so are we."

Zhang Qingyuan and Zhang Mingyue said in unison.

""

General Zhang looked at the table full of children and grandchildren, feeling increasingly depressed.

No matter what, the Zhang family cannot be allowed to end up in ruins, even if it takes his own life.

Gu Ruoruan blinked and looked at the big guy with tears in his eyes, and picked up the juice in front of him with his greasy little hands.

"Grandpa, grandpa, Ruanruan also wants to toast."

General Zhang smiled and gave him a soft touch.

After dinner, Zhang Mingyue took Ruanruan for a walk in the garden, with the old lady following behind. She couldn't help but feel happy when she looked at the figures, big and small.

Now that Mingyue has reached her hair age, I wonder what she thinks about her marriage?

"Mingyue, you are now haircut. If we get married, you will have a child as cute as Ruanruan within the next year."

Mingyue remembered Ruanruan's words that she would marry a scumbag and die miserably, and felt fear in her heart.

"Grandma, Ming Yue will not marry. She will stay with you all her life. She has her grandfather, father, and brother. From now on, Ming Yue can be an old girl."

"There's no girl who doesn't want to marry. If you don't have your favorite candidate yet, wait until the sixth prince's birth banquet in the future to have a good look at each other. Tell your grandmother who you choose, and she will make the decision for you."

Zhang Mingyue became wary when she heard about the banquet. She avoided the Princess Mansion last time, so she couldn't avoid it this time. ?0?2
