Chapter 263 I have my own memorial!

It is perfectly normal for two little maids to have such thoughts.

Although the two of them were born as palace maids, they have now left the palace and become Shen Yi's maids.

There are only two ways for a maid to go.

One is to follow the master's side for the rest of her life and serve as a maidservant. If she is lucky and gives birth to a child for the master's family, she can be "promoted" to a concubine, or if the master likes her, she can be taken directly into the house as a concubine.

The second way is to marry another servant.

Those who are lucky will marry the housekeeper of the family, while those who are unlucky will marry a groom or even a tenant.

As for the two maids Qing'er and Ping'er, they have been following Shen Yi, a promising and similar age peer, for more than half a year. During these six months, Shen Yi has been very good to them both. In their opinion, it is natural for them to be You can trust your best friend for life.

However, half a year has passed, and Shen Yi not only has not touched them, but has not even thought about it.

Therefore, the two young maids, who were in their puberty period, figured out a way to secretly sneak into Shen Yi's bed, hoping to "cook the rice from raw to cooked" and promote themselves to the maid of the first wife.

Shen Yi stood beside his bed, looked at the two little girls aged fifteen or sixteen, and shook his head slightly: "Our family doesn't have to be like this, in the future..."

Shen Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "It won't be too late to consider these issues in the future when you are older."

After Master Shen said this, he lit the oil lamp in the room with a fire stick, and the dark room suddenly became bright. Shen Yi sat next to the table, looked at the two maids on the bed, coughed, and said : "Okay, it's getting very late, you two go to bed now."

"First Evolution"

The two little maids got out of the bed with red faces.

Ping'er was still a little unconvinced. She stood in front of Shen Yi, straightened out her already slightly sizable breasts, and said to Shen Yi: "Young master, we are not young anymore. Years ago, my family sent us a letter saying that our neighbor's house The little girl who is a few months younger than me gave birth to her second son this year..."

This is another characteristic of this era.

Marry early and have children early.

This characteristic is not caused by humans or cultural influence, but by the times or social needs.

When the average life expectancy is not high, the childbearing age must be shortened in order to extend the health of a nation. Moreover, in this era of small peasant economy, giving birth to a son is a productive force and does not require much cost of raising. , everyone is naturally keen on having children.

As for the aristocratic families that occupy social resources, in order to have more family members to continue to control social resources, they will be able to have more children, and have more children and more happiness.

In Shen Yi's view, girls before the age of twenty are mentally immature, so even if these two little maids plan to follow him for the rest of their lives, Shen Yi hopes that they can make decisions after they turn twenty.

However, due to the background of this era, she is already an "old girl" at the age of twenty. These two little maids may not have the patience to stay with Shen Yi until they are twenty.

After hearing what Pinger said,

Shen Yi glanced at her angrily and said, "Others are others, you are you, why should you argue with others?"

Seeing that Shen Yi seemed unhappy, the two little maids stuck out their tongues, left Shen Yi's room in a gray manner, and went to bed together.

After the two little maids left, Shen Yi hesitated for a moment and then got into his bed to sleep.

At this moment, the girl's body temperature under the quilt has not yet dissipated. In this cold first month, it actually gave Master Shen some warmth.

This sleep was particularly sweet.

The sixteenth day of the first lunar month of the seventh year of Chen Hongde's reign came quietly in Shen Yi's sleep.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the half-month vacation of the imperial court officially ended. Early in the morning, the bell rang at the entrance of Deqing Hall.

Today is the first day of work in the new year, so it is also the day of the first court meeting of the imperial court in the new year.

Early in the morning, civil and military officials of the fifth rank of Jiankang and above were waiting at the entrance of Deqing Hall. When the first ray of sun shone in front of Deqing Hall, the great eunuch Gao Ming walked out. He stood

At the entrance of Deqing Palace, he glanced around at the civil and military officials outside the palace, especially took a deep look at Yang Jingzong, who was already very old. After clearing his throat with a cough, the high eunuch sang loudly.

"One yuan begins again, and everything is renewed..."

"In the new year Yin Shi, hundreds of officials enter the court..."

After singing two songs, Eunuch Gao entered the Deqing Hall first, and then everyone's eyes were on Yang Jingzong and Yang Xiang.

Yang Xiang was now using a cane and his steps were already staggering.

However, he is still the leader of the civil service, so this Xianggong Yang was the first to limp into the Deqing Hall.

Other civil and military officials followed Old Man Yang and entered Deqing Hall according to their shifts.

Soon, everyone stood in their respective positions in Deqing Hall.

As the officials stood still, the eunuch Gao Ming sang loudly again.

"Your Majesty is here!"

The little emperor silently walked up to His Majesty Dan and sat on his dragon chair. He first glanced at his ministers. After taking a look, His Majesty the Emperor slowly spoke: "The new year has begun, and all your ministers will take a break from bathing."

It’s been half a month, and now I’m back in the court, are you still used to it?”

The ministers quickly bowed their heads and expressed that they loved their work and there was nothing wrong with them.

The little emperor nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Liu Jizhang, the Minister of Accounts, with a calm expression: "Liu Shangshu, the new year has begun. Didn't the Accountants have no bad debts last year?"

Liu Jizhang looked embarrassed and turned to look at Zhao Changping.

Zhao Shilang also understood his old boss's thoughts very well, so he immediately left the office and went forward to give the emperor a general overview of the situation in the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Last year, the overall situation of the Account Department was still good. Although it was inevitable that some yamen reported some bad debts and bad debts that were constantly being cut and sorted out, the revenue of the Account Department was pretty good last year.

Throughout the year, the state treasury still had a balance of nearly one million taels of silver, as well as a large amount of grain and rice.

This is the benefit of being a master. Since Zhao Changping took charge of the treasury, the imperial court's finances have generally been improving in the past few years, especially in the treasury, which now has a lot of accumulated gold, silver and copper coins.

The little emperor nodded slightly, uu read www.uukanshu.com and ordered all ministries to make it clear to the Ministry of Household Affairs in person and ask questions if they have any doubts about last year's expenditure.

After solving the problem of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the little emperor said a few words about the Spring Palace. Then Eunuch Gao announced that this year's Spring Palace, Wu Kan, the current minister of the Ministry of Rites, would be the chief examiner of the Spring Palace.

I don’t know if everyone gave the little emperor face, but they didn’t say much about the emperor’s appointment as the chief examiner.

When the candidates for Chunwei's examination were proposed, the young emperor sat on the dragon throne and kept watching the attitude of his ministers towards this matter.

But no one stepped forward to jump in.

The little emperor cleared his throat and looked at the ministers below, especially Yang Jingzong and Yang Xiang.

The court hall fell into an inexplicable silence for a moment.

After silence, the little emperor yawned and pretended to be careless. He looked at these people and then said slowly: "Do you have anything else to do, sir? If not, the meeting will end here today."

Finally, Yang Xiangguo, who had been standing in the front row pretending to be mute and deaf, stood up silently.

Because it was a court meeting, Yang Xiangguo held the imperial scepter in his hand, then took out a thick memorial from his sleeve, held it in both hands, and handed it to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I have this memorial..."
