Hou Xiaoliang moved a few more steps outside. My mistress, how dare you say it! In the whole of Daming, you are the only one who survived after saying that the master is a badass. Don't listen to indecent words, lest the master become angry from embarrassment, and he is not willing to touch the future mistress with a finger, and turn around to see him venting his anger on him.
"Hehe! I'm teasing you too! Tell me, if we add up our properties and look at the entire capital, who would dare to compete with me? After that, do I have to count money every day until my hands cramp?" Yu Xiaocao Suddenly, there was a sense of pride as the richest woman in the capital.
"How tiring is counting money? Master will send you a few people to count, and you will just watch!" Zhu Junyang replied domineeringly, stroking the little girl's smooth and shiny black hair with his hand , I really enjoy the high-grade satin feel.
"Hee hee!" Xiaocao Yu Xiaocao snickered, like a little squirrel who ate a pine cone, cute and mischievous. Zhu Junyang loves and hates at the same time, who did this ghostly spirit follow? Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu are honest people, uncle and sister-in-law are also responsible, and brother-in-law is quite stable at a young age. Just this girl, she's so weird, it hurts to the bone.
Zhu Junyang stayed in Yu Mansion until the willow shoots on the moon, and then reluctantly left. Coming out of Yu Mansion, he took Hou Xiaoliang straight to the city gate. Although he never paid attention to other people's criticisms, but now he is about to have a wife, and he can't let his wife worry about him, and he has to live with everything in general. He is not going to bear the charge of returning to Beijing without permission!
The army to conquer the west returned to Beijing three days later. When the news of the Northwest victory came, the whole capital was shaken and cheered for it. As the general of Zhenxi, the king of Yangjun was also passed down as the "God of War". In just one year, the rebels in the Northwest were beaten so hard that they couldn't hold their heads up. In the next few decades, there will be no border worries in the Northwest. Peace, no matter in what era, is what the people look forward to.
Many ordinary people came to the suburbs of Beijing to wait early in order to see the "God of War". Three miles away from the capital, the Imperial Forest Army has already imposed martial law. Because the emperor personally led all the civil and military officials to welcome the army back from victory.
On the first day, Xiaocao was called into the palace. In the inner study, Zhu Junfan was checking the homework of His Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a twelve-year-old boy. His various homework has been praised by the Taifus, and he looks more and more like a future prince.
In the past few years in the palace, although several little princes and princesses have been added, the eldest little prince is eight years younger than the prince, and he is still a three or four-year-old baby. When they are older and determined, His Royal Highness is almost an adult, and no one can surpass him! Come to think of it, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't do anything that disobeys and deceives the emperor, his position will be very stable. The chaos of the prince seizing the throne will not happen to the current crown prince.
"Master Yu!" Seeing that Xiaocao was called in, Zhu Hanwen put down the pen in his hand, smiled and nodded at her.
"My minister has met the emperor, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Yu Xiaocao held the food box in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and was about to bow her knees to salute, but was stopped by the emperor.
"Okay, don't mess with these empty-headed people, no courtesy, give me a seat!" Zhu Junfan never pays attention to red tape when facing this traveler. Pointing to the food box in her hand, she said, "Hey! Why are you still thinking about me, and brought a gift here! If I don't call you, you are not going to show up in your life, are you? I can't see you when I go to court , forget it. I gave you a pass to enter and exit the palace, and you treat it as a display?"
Your majesty, what does your slightly sad tone mean? Yu Xiaocao turned her puzzled eyes to His Highness the Crown Prince, and found that he was looking at her with puzzled eyes.
"Your Majesty, with the official position of a humble official, it is not as high as the upper court." Yu Xiaocao reminded in a low voice.
Zhu Junfan snorted, and said, "What's the matter? Think I've made you a junior official? Unexpectedly, you are still an official fan chasing fame and fortune."
Yu Xiaocao seriously suspects that the emperor has been transmigrated again, why is he so abnormal today? Why does she feel that the emperor is acting like a baby to her? Oh my god, it's so creepy!
Zhu Hanwen looked at his father and blinked a few times. If Master Yu hadn't already made an engagement with his cousin, he couldn't help but suspect that his father had taken a fancy to Master Yu! Otherwise, what is the meaning of this sad expression and casual tone
He turned his gaze to Yu Xiaocao, carefully looked at it several times like a little adult, and came to the conclusion: Master Yu has become more and more beautiful in the past two years. Not to mention anything else, just the delicate and fair skin that can be broken by blowing bombs, comparable to a shelled egg, throws away a lot of ladies in Beijing. What's more, those big eyes that are bright, clear and moving can penetrate into people's hearts.
Zhu Hanwen was terrified in his heart, he looked away, and looked at his father worriedly: "Father, you don't really have any unreasonable thoughts about Master Yu, do you?" Never! Uncle Yanghuang has just made great achievements in battle, you can't snatch his wife! In case Uncle Yang gets angry and becomes a beauty, there are not many people in Beijing who can stop him...
Father, father, you are wise and wise, but don't leave the infamy of stealing the wives of courtiers! I have to say, Your Royal Highness, you are overthinking it!
Zhu Hanwen suddenly realized that his father's eyes met his own, and immediately said in a disguised manner: "Father, Mr. Yu has made outstanding achievements and worked hard all these years, but his position has always been a sixth-rank agricultural officer. My son thinks... Should I?" Have you changed it?"
Zhu Junfan glanced at his son with admiration. All these years, he has worked so hard to train this successor because he wanted to be able to take over from his son when he was twenty years old. At that time, he took the queen on a tour of mountains and rivers and went abroad to see. How chic and comfortable
"My lord, distinguishing rewards and punishments is the act of a wise king. In your opinion, what position should I promote Master Yu?" It's not that Zhu Junfan never thought of promoting this favorite general under his command, but there is no precedent after all, and just now The honor of the princess was bestowed, so it was delayed.
Zhu Hanwen thought for a while, and said solemnly: "When I was studying history with the Taifu, I saw the Qin Dynasty, and there was a post of 'administering internal history of millet'. I thought that Master Yu's duty was exactly the position of governing internal history of millet... "
"What does the emperor mean...increasing the position of managing millet internal history in the Ministry of Households? How many ranks of official residence?" Zhu Junfan thought of "governing millet internal history", what the hell? Why don't you know? But in order to maintain his majesty and dignity in front of the emperor, he pretended to be inscrutable.
"Father, isn't Master Yu's official position at this time 'agricultural officer' temporarily increased by you? Over the years, Master Yu has not only planted Western species of corn, but also developed high-yielding winter wheat, and greenhouse vegetables have enriched winter. Dinner table. This year, the rice grown in the experimental field has also achieved gratifying results. If several achievements are added together, how can they be promoted to three levels in a row? Erchen thinks that at least it must be above the fourth grade. Otherwise, it would be too bad for me My lord." Zhu Hanwen felt close to Yu Xiaocao because of the little things in his childhood, so he naturally wanted to stand in her position and work for her welfare.
But Yu Xiaocao didn't intend to get a promotion or a raise at all. Regardless of her past and present lives, she has never thought about making progress and passing by. Except for her extraordinary obsession with making money, other fame and fortune are just a passing cloud to her. She is very satisfied with the status quo and has no intention of getting promoted. Because she knows that the higher the position, the greater the power, and the heavier the responsibility. The reason why she avoided it the most was that Beijing officials above the fifth rank had to go to court. It's scary to think about going out before dawn!
"That..." Yu Xiaocao saw that she was silent and her position was about to be confirmed, so she hurriedly interrupted the lively discussion between the father and son, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness, the current official position of this minister is already very satisfying. There is no need to continue Are you promoted?"
"How can that be done!" The father and son said in unison. Zhu Junfan glared at the little fellow with hatred, and said: "I am a wise king, and a minister who has made meritorious deeds will definitely get the rewards he deserves. You just sit down and don't meddle in it!"
Yu Xiaocao hurriedly said: "Actually, the rewards don't necessarily require a promotion! It's nice to reward something else, something more practical, such as gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, isn't it?"
Zhu Junfan grinned, and suddenly asked: "The business under your hand, is it okay recently? Yaoshanfang and Hua Xiangrong, haven't you encountered any troubles?"
"No? It's all good!" Yu Xiaocao was a little puzzled, staring at the emperor with question marks in his eyes, wondering if there was any deep meaning in what he said
"Since the business is doing well, you are not short of money? Why did you fall into the eyes of money and can't get out? Compared with the wealth in your hands, the property I rewarded is still a drop in the bucket? Are you still short of money? How can there be any honor to be promoted to a noble?"
Zhu Junfan glared at her angrily, and said in his heart: The property in your hands is much bigger than my small coffers, and you want to steal my money, you have a very bad conscience.
Yu Xiaocao still has to make the final struggle: "But... I'm a girl, why do I want such a high position? I'm just a farmer, and I know how to cook stewed vegetables. I can't do it if I need education but no education and skills. 'Bone Demon'!"
"Knowing how to farm is enough!! 'Zhi Su Nei Shi' is in charge of farming! Well, why are you so stubborn? I'm going to ask you for a promotion? Stop talking nonsense, I'm bothered!"
Zhu Junfan felt aggrieved. Others sharpened their heads and tried to get promoted and make a fortune. This girl is good, and the opportunity to be promoted is given to her, and she has to push it out. Dare his official position be a hot potato? My little heart has been hit by tens of thousands of points, no, I need food to appease.
"What are you carrying in your hand? You are always holding it in your hand, don't you feel tired?" Zhu Junfan had been staring at the food box for a long time. Zhu Hanwen also looked at it eagerly, the scent inside had already made the gluttons in his stomach turn upside down, but he was embarrassed to show it because his father was in front of him.
