There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Chapter 255 Empress Dowager Ciyi collapses

When Vantone came back again, it was several days later, it was already June.

"Is Your Majesty okay?" Wu Youwei asked Concubine Wan first when he saw him come back.

"Okay, okay!" Wantong said with a smile: "It's a little princess, but the emperor likes it very much, the little princess looks a lot like the emperor."

Wu Youwei was taken aback: "It's also...a princess?"

Well, it's a princess. "Wan Tongdao:" I didn't have any trouble during the birth. The elder sister just ate a bowl of noodles when she felt a little bit of labor pain. "

Wu Youwei...huh? "

"After eating egg noodles, I gained energy. When the sun rose, I gave birth. It took only three hours." Wan Tao said, "When I went, the amniotic fluid hadn't broken yet!"

So even though it was said that the baby was born in one night, the real time to give birth was only two or three hours, and nothing else was tossed about, not even the doctor girl, come on.

After drinking a bowl of ginseng soup, the child cried loudly.

However, the key point that Wu Youwei paid attention to was not this, but a frown: "The empresses of the two palaces gave birth to princesses?"

He remembered that in history, there were only five or six princesses of Emperor Xianzong?Among them, the four princesses didn't even have a name in Zaotian, and the remaining princesses lived long lives, and they didn't die one after another until the Jiajing period.

There are quite a few sons, but they were all born later. According to history, it was because of Concubine Wan's relationship. In fact, Wu Youwei said, it's just that the sons were born late, and it's not like there were no sons.

"Yes!" Wan Tao said, "The emperor is not in a good mood, the Empress Dowager Qian of the Palace of Compassion...

Although it is a matter of palace ban, it is not a secret. Besides, the emperor has won two imperial daughters, who are also the golden branches and jade leaves of the royal family. They cannot be celebrated by the whole world, and there will be no movement at all.

Wu Youwei also knew about Empress Dowager Qian's poor health.

Two new princesses were added to the palace, and there was no big celebration, just the usual rewards. After the courtiers found out, they looked at each other in blank dismay; Bai Zhen stayed at home behind closed doors, he was ashamed!

In June Bingwu, Jiangxi will be free from disasters and autumn grains.

Because there is no food shortage in the south for the time being, Emperor Xianzong has the confidence to dispense with the autumn grain, and let the courtiers know the success of his emperor.

Sure enough, in this way, the people of Jiangxi are first of all grateful to the emperor.

The prestige among the people is even higher. Although the emperor is young, he looks pretty good, especially in the first few years since he took the throne, he has done a lot of good deeds.

It may be because the disaster situation in Jiangxi was known to others. In [-], Man Junfan, the Kaicheng thief, Ning Yuanbo Renshou, the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi, and Chen Price, the governor of the capital, discussed it.

The rebels basically make trouble every now and then, and everyone is used to it, but the army thinks this is a good thing, at least there will be battles to be fought, and some meritorious service will be rewarded.

But the DPRK and China are not happy, because fighting is tantamount to spending money.

Fortunately, there is still some money in the national treasury. In addition, the summer tax in Jiangnan has arrived at this time, and Luo Lun also came to give a memorial, saying that the situation there is very good, and half of the double-cropping rice has been promoted, because there are not enough good varieties. It will have to wait until next year to promote it, and the three-season rice he is experimenting with now has some clues.

Wu Youwei wrote back to him, asking him to pay attention to the fact that such frequent planting would cause disasters. He didn't know what kind of things could prevent pests and diseases, but he knew one thing: fish in rice fields!

This is thanks to watching a lot of discipline films broadcast by the central government back then. Fish farming in rice fields is a win-win agricultural method. Fish eat insect eggs and small pests, and can grow fat and fertilize the fields.

He still remembered some steps of raising fish in the paddy field, and wrote several pages. The envelope of the reply was bulging, and he was afraid that Luo Lun would not be able to cope there, so he sent him 3000 taels of silver: "Zhijun Incorruptible, but without money,

Support 3000 taels of silver, please make good use of it.

Another 1000 taels were given to those who went: "Secretly hand it over to Master Luo and Mrs. Luo, how can Master Luo get married and have no money at home?

"But, what if the Lord doesn't accept it?" Those who went knew that Luo Lun was a good official who sincerely served the people. If you gave him money, he could donate it.

"Then you just say, this is a dividend!" Wu Youwei thought for a while: "Just say that there is a business in Beijing, and I will forget his share. These are dividends, which are different from the money I gave him. It is to support him. Those who do research, the money is for the family to improve their lives!"

Not only the money, but also some medicinal materials and special products from the north were also transported there. Knowing that the place was very hot, he asked someone to pull a cart full of mung beans.

He prepared ten carts of all kinds of things. In order to create momentum for Luo Lun, Wu Youwei basically sent all the things with inscriptions on them. He learned them from his second sister-in-law. I'm really envious, and I don't even say sour things about the female relatives.

It's all because Wu Youwei brings back to his second sister-in-law every time these years, they are all for internal use, as big as a vase, porcelain and cloth for food, even as small as an earring, that is not an outside craft.

The members of the Meng family no longer dare to underestimate the widowed Wu Mengshi.

Hearing that Luo Lun was going to marry in the south, he deliberately found ten pieces of cloth that were rewarded by the palace, and sent them to him in a single cart.

In the south, especially in the place where Luo Lun took office, I am afraid that there is no married woman who wears new clothes cut from red cloth that were rewarded by the palace, right?

This is enough to give Lauren a face.

Luo's family is also an ordinary family, even worse than ordinary people. Back then, Luo Lun passed the examination of a scholar and had to write letters for others at the gate of the temple to support the family, but he didn't have much wealth.

Wu Youwei simply divided a few shares from his Tokugawa hotpot shares, and divided them among a few people he knew, one share per person, whether there were too many, but it was enough to support the family and live a prosperous life.

Zhang Sheng and others didn't accept it, especially Yang Yiqing, who was from a better-off family: "You gave it to us, but we didn't do anything! You don't get paid for nothing!"

"Then you can be an extra-curricular teacher for my Tao Wen Academy." Wu Youwei said, "Listen to me, being an official in the court, it is inevitable to socialize and socialize. If the family is poor, do you want the whole family to drink Northwest?" Is it wind?"

"That can't be...?" Li Dongyang said on the sidelines: "I always take yours?"

"It's true that you have a good Yue's family, but you can't spend your daughter-in-law's dowry money?" Wu Youwei said, "You have to give some to the Yue's family, right?"

Li Dongyang married a daughter-in-law from the Duke's Mansion, with a generous dowry, but the Li family didn't have such a large family property

Although it is said that the husband and wife are deeply in love, Li Dongyang stayed in the Imperial Academy for six years because of this. He didn't say it, but it didn't mean that Wu Youwei and the others couldn't see it.

Li Dongyang was taken aback by the words, and Wu Youwei said: "A mother can leave the dowry to her sons, but you have nothing as a father, why don't you!"

Then the others were also persuaded by Wu Youwei, and this thing was not given for nothing, they had to be extracurricular tutors for his Tao Wen Academy.

In the future, he will go to Tao Wen Academy to teach students. He is planning for a rainy day.

In addition, Wu Youwei also distributed two shares to his two wives!

The teacher is an official, so of course he can't do business, but his wife is different, she only said that his wife loves him, and invested some private money when his hot pot restaurant opened, and he divided it according to the rules. This reason is completely legitimate.

And he also said that things like hot pot are very seasonal, so wouldn't the sales of hot pot be weak this summer?

It's only lively in winter!

However, he ordered people to stop the hot pot restaurant in summer and change it to a barbecue restaurant!

As soon as chili powder, cumin and sesame seeds are sprinkled on the barbecue, the taste makes anyone passing by the door salivate.

So the hot pot restaurant added barbecue. Wu Youwei came from later generations. How classic is barbecue in later generations?All kinds of skewers not only sell well, but also provide a job for some elderly and infirm people: invite old men and old ladies to sit there and count pieces of skewers, one hundred skewers are given to one big man, which is equivalent to Earn ten yuan for wearing a hundred meat skewers.

Uniform clothing, all nine-quarter trousers and seven-quarter sleeves, no pockets, to prevent people from stealing and stealing meat; beef and mutton are all from the grasslands that come in from outside the mouth, which is very happy for those who dump livestock, especially if there is a lot of order .

However, for the sake of a healthy diet, Wu Youwei does not allow raw meat to stay overnight. As long as the leftovers are not eaten, Wu Youwei will let people distribute them to the old people who come to work, and take them home to eat by themselves or give them to their children and grandchildren. To eat as soon as possible.In ancient times, there were no refrigerators, and they could not be refrigerated, so they could only be eliminated as soon as possible.In this way, Tokugawa hot pot has been changed into a Tokugawa hot pot barbecue restaurant.

The business is booming, so naturally there will be more dividends, and Wu Youwei's idea of ​​making money has amazed the people around him.

The weather became hot in June, and Wu Youwei didn't like to go out at home. Although he lived next door to Wantong, it was Wantong who came here to spend the night.

But on this day, Wantong didn't come back!

Until the next day, early in the morning, Wu Youwei, who was still in his dream, heard the continuous ringing of bells: "What's wrong?"

Wu Youwei woke up in a daze, rubbing his eyes, butler Wanfu came in, but instead of entering the bedroom, he hurriedly said at the door: "Master, get up quickly, something happened!"

"What happened?" Wu Youwei got up and stepped on the straw sandals made of thatch, "Is Zhongming back?"

"My lord, I'm afraid I won't be back for several days." Seeing him coming out, Wanfu steward hurriedly presented him with a plain and thin summer shirt: "Empress Dowager Qian, collapsed.

Jiayin, Empress Dowager Ciyi collapsed.

Wu Youwei suddenly became sober: "What? "

Empress Dowager Ciyi is Empress Dowager Qian. "Ciyi" is the honorary title emblem given by Emperor Xianzong to his mother, Empress Dowager Qian.

"The Empress Dowager passed away, and the whole country is in mourning." Wanfu Guanjia said: "The folks are not allowed to marry in March, and the theater, wine and entertainment are banned for a year.

Wu Youwei sighed: "It seems that my four younger sisters are going to delay leaving the cabinet.

Although Empress Dowager Qian was not the biological mother of Emperor Xianzong, she was his aunt. Emperor Xianzong also had to go into mourning, and the palace was filled with white plain onyx, which stretched endlessly. Empress Dowager Zhou felt very uneasy when she saw the white plain onyx.

The only person who could talk to me and talk to me was gone, and I was really "sorrowful" from then on.

Thinking about the experience with Qian Shi, I was just a good family member back then, but because of being glanced at by the late emperor, I changed from a lamp-handling lady to a beauty, and then I went step by step to where I am today.

During the years when the late emperor was in Nangong, she also depended on Qian's family for their lives, doing embroidery work and entrusting the eunuchs to take it out of the palace to sell money to supplement the family. Although the life was poor, she persisted and did not have the calculations of the palace.

After thinking about it, Empress Dowager Zhou burst into tears in front of Empress Dowager Qian's coffin: "Sister, you went to heaven to meet the late emperor, what's the fun of leaving me alone? Will you let me live alone? Sister!"

When a person dies, everything is really empty. When he is alive, there are thousands of things. When he is dead, he just remembers her.

The Empress Dowager Zhou still remembered that Empress Dowager Qian lived frugally to support several princes and daughters in Nangong. At that time, Empress Dowager Sun was still alive and occasionally subsidized Nangong, but she dared not go too far, because Emperor Daizong was still watching.

The princess of Chongqing also came to pay homage to her mother. She cried after seeing her mother, and she also remembered the benefits of Queen Mother Qian, so she also cried along with her. When the two of them cried like this, other women couldn't help it. Whether it was true or not, they all cried out. It was very sad for a while.

Concubine Bai and Concubine Wan had finally finished confinement, and hadn't recovered much. When this happened, Concubine Bai followed by her side. Concubine Bai was crying, but she was thinking about the manpower and relationship network left by Empress Dowager Qian .

It was a very powerful force, she had used it once before, and it was so handy!

It's time for the Queen Mother to die, she has taken over this power!

And Wan Zhen'er is really crying, she has been in touch with Empress Dowager Qian for quite a few years, and the friendship that she spent in Nangong was difficult, even if Empress Dowager Qian looked down on her relationship with the emperor, she was not really sad She just didn't give a good face

If this matter is put on the mistress of any family, she will not give her a good face, so she serves the empress dowagers of the two palaces with the same filial piety. up...
