Zhuo Qihua

Mingyu had the most content in the gift list, and Zhuo Ji said: "The herbs that Brother Yue gave were all purchased from Nanzhao. Brother Tong was always worried about the medicinal materials I needed for dispensing. Now Brother Yue can buy them for me again. I don't have any worries about Nanzhao's medicinal materials, but Brother Yue gave too much."

Emperor Yong'an smiled and said: "Not much. Mingyu's uncle Lin Jiancheng is the richest man in Changzhou, the east of the south of the Yangtze River. The most important thing for Mingyu's family is silver. Mingyu is now favored and pregnant with a dragon heir. The Lin family will give you 30 taels I don’t have a lot of money.” Emperor Yong’an’s words are tantamount to admitting indirectly that he will favor Mingyu now, and Mingyu will conceive a dragon heir because of Zhuo Ji!Zhuo Ji said that he was moved, but also a little guilty, and he would be embarrassed to see Mingyu in the future.

After reading the gift list, Emperor Yong'an said: "Ming Yu is boring and too cautious. I didn't like it at first, but because of the Taifu's affection and the ability of the Lin family, I promoted him to the position. But since he and After getting in touch with you more, although this temper is still a bit boring, it is much better than before. Compared with other people, he can be regarded as honest and responsible, and he treats you sincerely. Lin Jiancheng will do business, and when Mingyu is born , I consider letting Lin Jiancheng become an imperial merchant and help me with some business matters. The Grand Tutor’s grandson will be admitted to the imperial examination next year, if he can pass, I will use it.”

Putting down Mingyu's gift list, Emperor Yong'an asked, "Where are all the things?"

"At the pharmacy. I'll go out of the palace tomorrow to bring back the money, the house deed, the land deed and so on."

Emperor Yong'an nodded: "Well, my private treasury can be relieved a bit."

Emperor Yong'an took Zhuo Jigang into his hands without any remorse, and he was about to leave before he saw the cash.Zhuo Ji was unhappy: "Your Majesty, won't you leave me some pocket money?"

Emperor Yong'an: "If you want pocket money, ask Zhang Xian to get it for you."

"..."

Emperor Yong'an picked up the key to open the box, and Zhuo Ji, feeling overwhelmed, said, "This is given to me by the Empress Dowager."

Emperor Yong'an took out everything in the box.House deeds, land deeds, and deeds of sale are all deeds.Zhuo Ji said: "The Empress Dowager said that she thinks I'm better at making money, and asked me to help her make more money."

Emperor Yong'an: "I'm afraid these are probably [-]% of the private property in the hands of the Empress Dowager. Take it. What to do and how to do it, you can figure it out. It doesn't matter if you don't have time to take care of it. These shops, houses and fields are all taken care of by someone. "The empress dowager's private property must be left to the emperor after her death.But now the Queen Mother has given it to Zhuo Ji, which is enough to show that the Queen Mother loves and trusts Zhuo Ji.This is also the place that moved Zhuo Ji very much.

Zhuo Ji covered his face with his hands, worrying: "I'm just talking on paper, if I really want to do business, I don't understand."

Emperor Yong'an appeased: "The Queen Mother just said that, and she will give it to you."

Zhuo Ji shook his head: "No, the Empress Dowager said that I am a good money earner, I can't disappoint the Empress Dowager. I will think about it."

Emperor Yong'an laughed lowly: "Isn't it appropriate to 'send the child'?"

Zhuo Ji: "Can't I work part-time?"

"Hahaha... yes, yes. You are my 'songzi', 'money-making expert', my fuwa, my dog-headed military advisor."

"Your Majesty, can you remove that 'dog's head'?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

■

In one day, he became a big landlord and local tyrant, with countless houses and shops—mainly because the queen mother had too much share—Zhuo Ji, who got rich overnight, always felt a little uneasy.Emperor Yong'an summoned Guan Minghui, Nian Qing, and Pan Beigu to the Zhixing Palace. Emperor Yong'an granted Pan Beigu's request and ordered him to lead [-] troops to Beigu.The Ministry of Households only allocated Pan Pozhi's [-] soldiers and horses two months' rations after they arrived in Beigu.Afterwards, Emperor Yong'an asked Guan Minghui and Nian Qing to step down, and gave Pan Beigu a secret edict.

Pan Beigu wanted to pack up and go to Beigu immediately, and Zhuo Ji wanted to make the medicine for Pan Pozhi before he left.Zhuo Ji sent Chang Jing out of the palace and went to the pharmacy to get back his gift.Boxes of silver were transported into the palace and directly into Emperor Yong'an's private treasury, and Emperor Yong'an left Zhuo Ji 1000 taels of pocket money.

The little prince is recovering well.Zhuo Ji concentrates on dispensing medicine in the pharmacy.After dealing with the political affairs, Emperor Yong'an went to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager after spending some snacks alone in the Xingxing Hall.The mother and son had some private conversations, and Emperor Yong'an went to Huayang Palace.Huang Guixie has only been pregnant for more than two months, and she has not yet shown her pregnancy.Now we are busy with next month's Jiujiu Chongyang, and the third prince's full moon at the end of the month will be arranged by the Queen Mother and Concubine Xi.The Holy Majesty came to Huayang Palace suddenly, and the noble concubine was still very surprised.Zhuo Ji was in Fengtian Hall, logically, the Holy Majesty was not in the mood to go to other palaces.

After Emperor Yong'an sat down, the noble lady asked, "Your Majesty, isn't Shunxi in Fengtian Hall?"

Emperor Yong'an didn't hide anything either, and said, "He said that Pan Pozhi's disease was probably arthritis and rheumatism. Pan Begu was going to Beigu, and he prepared some medicine for Pan Pozhi, and Pan Beigu happened to take it there."

Huang Guixie said: "Shunxi's first-hand medical skills are outstanding, if he can really cure General Dingyuan, it will be another great achievement."

Emperor Yong'an stopped drinking tea, smiled, took a sip of tea and said: "He still complained to me. He said that I shouldn't let Nianqing tell about his taking out his private house, otherwise I wouldn't let you guys Expense."

Huang Guixie smiled and said: "Those things were originally arranged for him early in the morning, but they were just given to him at this time. For the fact that he saved Chen Zhu, the servants should thank him heavily, let alone let him The minister successfully conceived the dragon heir. This is also the negligence of the minister. As the imperial concubine, the minister did not expect the expenses in the palace..."

Emperor Yong'an raised his hand to stop Huang Guixie's words, and said: "You are Huangguixie, you know better than me whether the palace secretary has money. The chaos of the three kings, followed by three severe droughts, and one after another in the palace. , I have a lot of money from my private treasury, but it is not enough. The silver taels in Mrs. Cheng's hands have already filled a lot of my shortfalls. Zhuo Ji's donation of silver is because I don't want him to hand it over. There's silver in it."

Huang Guixie was shocked, what does this mean? !Emperor Yong'an then said: "From now on, you will hand over the account books of the paper mill directly to Zhang Xian. If Zhuo Ji has done other business with you, do the same. Tell your wife what I mean."

The empress frowned: "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Yong'an: "If you put money in his hands, he won't spend it. His palace points are enough for him to reward his servants. Just remember that Zhuo Ji's food and clothing are all the best. As for It doesn't matter whether he has money or not."

The royal lady frowned, and nodded slowly: "Your Majesty means... Shunxi only cares about food and clothing. As for whether he has money in his hand, he doesn't care. Even if he has millions of taels of silver in his hand, he doesn't care about it." Can't spend?"

"That's what it means. Instead of putting the money in his hands and ashes, it's better to put it in my private treasury for emergencies. It just happens to stop some people's mouths. He is different from you, and you have your own behind you." The natal family needs to take care of her, and he and the Zhuo family will have nothing to do with each other."

Huang Guixie understood and was even more puzzled.Zhuo Ji doesn't love money, fame, or status. He is so desireless, what kind of life did he live before entering the palace, so that he developed such a temperament?Of course, Emperor Yong'an would not tell Huang Guixie that the reasons he said were only minor reasons, but in fact he didn't like Zhuo Ji having too much money in his hands.Emperor Yong'an liked Zhuo Ji and depended on him for food and drink. If Zhuo Ji had a lot of money, he might lose Zhuo Ji's dependence on him.This is unacceptable to him.

Zhuo Ji lived in Fengtian Palace, so Emperor Yong'an naturally wouldn't stay overnight in another palace.After sitting in Huayang Palace for more than half an hour, I talked to Huang Guixie.Afterwards, Emperor Yong'an went to Yunyue Palace to visit De Guixie and His Highness the Third Highness, and then Qi Yiguo and Tong Yifeng who lived in the side palace.Degui Xie was still in confinement, Emperor Yong'an didn't stay much longer, and then went to Yanxin Palace.After sitting in Yanxin Palace for half an hour, Emperor Yong'an went to Yuxian Palace again.

Emperor Yong'an had seen several pregnant maidservants and concubines of low status, except Shi Fangyun who lived in Shoukang Palace.Shi Fangyun was resting at that time.But as long as anyone with a brain knows it, this is definitely not the reason why the emperor didn't visit Shi Fangyun.After waking up, Shi Fangyun cried on the bed for a long time after learning about it.

Zhuo Ji came back at dinner time.Before he went to the pharmacy, Emperor Yong'an told him to come back before dinner.Having dinner with Emperor Yong'an, Zhuo Ji took the initiative to ask: "Your Majesty, do I need to come forward to worship the ancestors on the Double Ninth Festival?"

Emperor Yong'an asked back: "Do you want to go?"

"I want to pay homage to the royal ancestors, but I don't want to socialize with a group of people I don't know."

"Only people above 伃 and concubines can go to worship the ancestors. You know it. None of the courtiers who went there dared to get close to the concubines in the harem on that occasion. You don't have to attend the concubines and servants who worshiped the ancestors. I will inform the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager. As for the palace banquet, you can go there later. If you don’t want these people in the palace, don’t bother. You are my favorite servant. Be pampered and domineering so that you don’t get caught. People look down on you and think you are easy to bully."

Zhuo Ji sneered: "Am I acting like a fox and pretending to be a tiger?"

Emperor Yong'an was amused: "Forget it."

Ten days later, with 3 troops, Pan Beigu served as the vanguard general and led the expedition to Beigu.Pan Beigu was born in Beigu, and his name is the place where his father fought all his life.Before Pan Beigu left, Zhang Xian personally went to Dingguo General's Mansion—Pan Beigu did not separate from his father—and handed him four three-foot-square wooden boxes. He only said that His Majesty asked him to send them over. Give it to General Dingyuan.The four boxes were all locked and sealed, and Zhang Xian also left the keys.Pan Begu didn't open the box privately, and with four boxes of treasures that he didn't know what they were, Pan Begu set out on the road.

The day Pan Beigu left happened to be the third prince's full moon.For the full moon banquet in the case of the third prince Nan Rongchen, Emperor Yong'an returned to Fengtian Hall after appearing for a quarter of an hour.Zhuo Ji still delivered the gift in advance and did not show up.The gift Zhuo Ji gave was the oil painting portrait of the third prince on the day he was born.Zhuo Ji painted very vividly, as if he was a real newborn baby.De Guixie liked it very much.Nan Rong Chen Mu was very envious, but he couldn't go back. After hours, Zhuo Ji promised to give him a painting on his birthday, Nan Rong Chen Mu was very happy.

On the fifth day of September, the little prince Nan Rong Chensong was allowed to leave the hospital.The concubine Shizi knelt in front of Zhuo Ji, crying and laughing, kowtowing in gratitude.The recovery of Nan Rong Chensong exceeded Zhuo Ji's expectations, and the net plug did not show the rejection that Zhuo Ji was worried about.Although it cannot be said that Nan Rong Chensong has recovered, he did save his life.The concubine entered the palace and sent a long thank you gift to Shunxi, and Zhuo Ji's wealth rose to a new level.He didn't refuse.

The success of Nan Rong Chensong's operation made Emperor Yong'an feel great, and also made some people who knew about it very excited.Nan Rongchensong and the concubine Shi Zi left, so Zhuo Ji should return to Xiangfu Palace according to reason.However, Emperor Yong'an decreed that all the windows of Fengtian Palace, the main palace of Shoukang Palace, the main palace of Huayang Palace, the main palace of Yunyue Palace, the whole palace of Xiangfu Palace, the main palace of Yanxin Palace and the main palace of Yuxian Palace should be replaced with glass. .For a moment, both Danyang Palace and the former dynasty were in an uproar.First, what is glass? !Secondly!Even the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace is only the main palace to replace the glass, while the Xiangfu Palace of the Queen Mother is the whole palace!The Xiangfu Palace of Shunguo is actually ranked on the same level as His Majesty's Fengtian Palace!The whole palace is replaced!Why!Why!

Only Zhuo Ji lived in Xiangfu Palace, and only Zhuo Ji lived alone. The noble concubines who knew this well understood.And the Queen Mother, who knew the origin of the glass best, was not angry at all.Without Zhuo Ji, how can there be glass in Mata country?Zhuo Ji gave up the dividends of glass and stainless steel, but changing the glass in the whole palace would be a big disadvantage to him.And because Xiangfu Palace had to replace the glass in the whole palace, Emperor Yong'an didn't mention Zhuo Ji's return to Xiangfu Palace.Emperor Yong'an didn't mention it, and Zhuo Ji, who was busy making medicine, didn't mention it either.

It is not so fast to replace the glass. The most important thing right now is the upcoming Double Ninth Festival.On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, Zhuo Ji came to worship the ancestors.It's just that he came later than the empress dowager and the empress dowager.Not long after he arrived, Emperor Yong'an arrived, which meant that the ancestor worship was about to begin.It wasn't that Zhuo Ji came so late on purpose, it was definitely a test for him to get up before dawn, and Emperor Yong'an also deliberately made him wake up a little later.

After the ancestor worship was over, Zhuo Ji said a few words to the Empress Dowager, Huang Guixie, Xi Guifei, Deguixie who was confinement, and Mingyu and left.He didn't even glance at Zhuo Yizhi who was standing among the hundred officials.He didn't show up for the rest of the day, and the Empress Dowager chatted and had fun with the concubines in the imperial garden, and she didn't mention calling Zhuo Ji here.It wasn't until Emperor Yong'an came back from offering sacrifices to his ancestors that everyone saw this very airy Shun Zuo again at the palace banquet in the evening.

As soon as Zhuo Ji sat down, the low-ranking concubines and maids came to greet him one after another.Zhuo Ji accepted their greetings with a calm expression, and even Qi Yiguo and Tong Yifeng, who he had personally checked their bodies, did not show any special difference.These people can also see that this Shunji doesn't like them newcomers approaching him, and Huang Guixie said "sit down", those who didn't have time to greet Zhuo Ji (who are familiar) He could only reluctantly return to his seat and sit down.

Zhuo Ji sat between De Guixie and Mingxie, Huang Guixie felt a little regretful.Ming Xun is due to give birth in two months and has a big belly.After sitting for a while, Mingyu felt a little uncomfortable.Zhuo Ji gently touched his stomach, then summoned Chang Jing, and said a few words to him.Chang Jing bowed his body all the way to the top and came behind the emperor, lowered his head and reported to His Majesty what his master asked him to say.As soon as Chang Jing shut up here, Emperor Yong'an said: "Ming Xi, you are heavy, go back to the palace to rest earlier."

Mingyu was about to stand up, Zhuo Jixian Agui helped Mingyu step by step to help him stand up.Mingyu thanked him, Zhuo Ji gave his hand to Agui's, and Emperor Yong'an also sent Feng Xi to send Mingyu back to the palace.As soon as Ming Xi left, De Guixie said: "Your Majesty, the minister and the emperor want to talk to Shunxi, please allow the minister to change seats with Shunxi."

Emperor Yong'an said with a smile: "You are your concubine, as long as you don't mind."

De Guixie and Zhuo Ji immediately changed seats and food on the table.Huang Guixie is very happy, now she can talk to Zhuo Ji.Concubine Xi can only be envious.Sitting beside the concubine, Shi Fangyun, whose pregnancy period was about the same as the next month, had red eyes, and she lowered her head.Mingyu is heavy, so isn't she heavy?Why does His Majesty only see those old and decrepit people, but not her?Many people went to see Shi Fangyun, and it was clear who His Majesty valued more.

Ming Xie left, Huang Guixie, Deguixie and Zhuo Ji chatted while watching the performance.Last year's Chongyang Festival, Zhuo Ji, who was tricked, involved everyone in writing poems. This year's Chongyang Festival, no one dared to mention this, and Emperor Yong'an had no intention of playing games.And this year's Chongyang Palace Banquet performance was almost all dances and juggling, not a single piece of music.After a dance ended, a person came out from the sitting area of ​​the attendant and knelt down: "Your Majesty, after the Chongyang Festival last year, the gill disease was rampant. If it hadn't been for you, the waiter would not have seen your majesty. If you are confused, you are in danger of making a big mistake. Today, I want to dance to a song to express my gratitude for the great righteousness."

As soon as the man finished speaking, Zhuo Ji's mouth twitched into a smile.Huangguixie, Deguixie and Xiguifei kept their dignified faces, but their eyes were definitely filled with murderous intent.The anger in Emperor Yong'an's heart arose, Zhuo Ji picked up the tea bowl, picked up the tea leaves and said, "Yanxuan, you are grateful to me, and I am very pleased. But you can't put the credit for this thick cheek disease on my head." Now, the imperial physicians at the imperial medical office will cry when they hear it. Those who don’t know think that this palace likes to take credit for the imperial medical office.”

Yan Xuan raised his head, his face was frightened: "忍俍! Yan Xuan absolutely has no such intention!"

Zhuo Ji took a sip of tea, put down the tea bowl, didn't look at Yan Xuan, but looked at the person above him: "Your Majesty, the minister went to take care of His Royal Highness King Qin and the third princess because the minister suffered from thick cheeks. Don't be afraid of being infected, the servants don't dare to take the credit of the Imperial Medical Office. But since Yan Xuan has prepared a dance, let him dance, which can be regarded as adding to the fun for us."

Regarding Zhuo Ji's remarks, none of the people who knew the inside story showed anything strange, including Xiao Bin and Wen Concubine.There was no trace of blood on Yan Xuan's face.His act of adding to Zhuo Ji's barrier directly made Zhuo Ji push him to the same position as the actors in Baixifang.Actors will dance to add to the fun!Still in front of the royal clan!
