There have been several heavy snowfalls in Dafeng in a row, but this does not affect the people's festive atmosphere. The palace is also busy, and the annual sacrificial ceremony is about to begin. This year is different from previous years, due to the sudden change of the old queen mother.
"Leave", a memorial ceremony will be added, which is equivalent to ending the period of mourning for the old queen mother.
The festive atmosphere seems to have diluted the ups and downs of the past year. People have forgotten the killings in the war and come and go among each other. The atmosphere seems very peaceful and peaceful.
Zhu Tianjiang also prepared some generous gifts and ordered people to send people to his brothers from the Wu tribe and Beidaying. Xuanzhu's withdrawal also made Zhu Tianjiang free from his busy schedule. However, one thing was bothering him.
Zhu Tianjiang, that means Mrs. Guo fell ill.
Guo Ying came to the mansion, her eyes red from crying, and asked Zhu Tianjiang to help her treat the old lady. Ever since Zhu Tianjiang cured the severe typhoid fever, his medical skills have long been spread as miraculous. When Zhu Tianjiang came to the mansion, he saw that he
Knowing that she had no ability to cure her, the old lady was suffering from an old disease, which Zhu Daguan could not cure. For this reason, Guo Ying cried sadly.
The sacrificial ceremony was very grand and all officials in the capital had to attend. Zhu Tianjiang wanted to excuse himself from going because he was sick, but Guo Tianxin dragged him to attend the ceremony.
There were still snowflakes floating in the sky. Zhu Daguan looked up and said, "Father-in-law, aren't we full enough? There is no point in coming to participate in this sacrifice. Look at someone who became the Emperor Wu. If he doesn't come, let his son come.
Host this ceremony." Zhu Tianjiang complained.
Guo Tianxin glanced at Zhu Tianjiang and said, "Huh, you know nothing. If you don't come for this kind of thing, it is tantamount to contempt for the imperial power. Mother is just worried that your boy is stubborn and won't come, so she asked me to bring you here."
Zhu Tianjiang smiled and scratched his head. He knew that the old lady had good intentions. Don't take it as Emperor Wu's absence, but if any of the officials below did not attend, the news would immediately reach his ears. The old lady was also afraid of Zhu Tianjiang.
He went too far and aroused Emperor Chengwu's dissatisfaction.
"By the way, father-in-law, is the old lady's health getting better again? It's getting cold now, so I must pay more attention to taking supplements."
As soon as he talked about the old lady's body, Guo Tianxin's face darkened, "Heavenly descendant, I heard from the imperial doctors that you have now become the leading miracle doctor in the Dafeng Dynasty. My mother gets sick as soon as winter comes, and you can't help treat her."
rule?"
Zhu Tianjiang smiled bitterly and said to himself that I am not the best, I am the best. He knew that the old lady suffered from seasonal asthma, and due to her advanced age, it could not be cured at all.
"Father-in-law, I am completely blind to Xuanzhu's condition. Don't listen to the nonsense of those imperial doctors. If you really have that ability, I will diagnose the old lady without you having to say anything. In Tianxiang's heart, she will kiss my grandma.
Same."
Guo Tianxin nodded, thinking about it, if Zhu Tianjiang could really cure it, Ying girl would still say it even if he didn't speak.
At the beginning of the ceremony, Zhu Tianjiang did not stand in the team of his first-rank ministers, but hid behind a group of petty officials, pretending to be fake. While others bowed and kowtowed three times, Zhu Tianjiang, the high-ranking official, at most stuck his buttocks.
There were officials from the Ministry of Rites in the crowd who were registering the names of the participants. When the officials saw Zhu Daguan behind the crowd, they were a little bit dumbfounded.
"Master Zhu, you shouldn't be standing here. You should be on the stage. Otherwise, if my master asks me about it later, it will be difficult for me to do business." An official from the Ministry of Rites walked up to Zhu Tianjiang and begged in a low voice.
"When Sun Shangshu asks, just say that I like to keep a low profile, and young people must be more humble." Zhu Tianjiang curled his lips and said unkindly.
The official of the Ministry of Rites shook his head helplessly. He had no idea how to deal with this young first-rank official. He didn't even have to attend the morning court, let alone participate in the sacrifice.
Zhu Yi and Xia Qing also sneaked into Zhu Tianjiang's side, while Xuan Le was reading an article about worshiping heaven above, and the three of them were talking and laughing below. Daniel's duty today was to be a prison guard, and he walked around in groups of five and six carrying sticks.
It became a joke among Zhu Tianjiang and the others.
After the sacrificial ceremony, all officials went to the palace to attend the banquet according to the procedure. For the officials below, it was also a reward from the emperor. Zhu Tianjiang was too lazy to go anymore, and arranged a few words for Zhu Yi, Xia Qing, and quietly replied
Arrive at the mansion.
There are only a few days until the big festival, which was called New Year's Eve in the previous life. The house is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, showing a festive atmosphere. Six pots of charcoal are burning in the hall. When Zhu Tianjiang enters, he finds that Guo Yingyu'er is there, not only the two of them,
The seventh princess actually came here too.
"Haha, the seventh princess is such a rare visitor. What, did you give me something in exchange for Miss Dou Ha's worthless rocks?" Zhu Tianjiang folded his hands and walked towards the girls with a smile.
Yelu Doha's flesh trembled, "Brother Tiansheng, what I have brought are all high-quality gems. Don't underestimate these things."
The seventh princess smiled and said, "What Dou Ha said is that even the craftsmen at the weaving department said that this stone is very rare."
Zhu Tianjiang said in his heart that they knew nothing. They had not left the palace all year round and had seen a lot of the world. Besides, most of the craftsmen were flatterers. Who would dare to say that the things the seventh princess brought into the palace were bad. The current seventh princess is
The status of the dignified queen's biological daughter is completely different from before.
"Tianxiang, do you think these earrings of mine look good? Sister Douha gave them to me." Yu'er stretched out her white hands and held a pair of earrings lovingly.
Zhu Tianjiang looked at it and found that although the stone was not very good, the carvings were very beautiful.
"Yu'er, I will make you a pair of earrings by myself when you get back. I guarantee they will be a hundred times better than this." Zhu Tianjiang said and sat down.
"Tsk, I just know that I haven't seen you give me anything." Yu'er rolled her eyes at Zhu Tianjiang in dissatisfaction.
Several girls chatted non-stop. Zhu Tianjiang grabbed a handful of jewelry and looked at it carefully.
"Not to mention, things are rare and valuable, so it's no wonder that all the rich ladies in the capital are rushing to grab them. Sister Dou Ha, prepare a dozen pieces for me. I'm going to give them away before the big festival." Zhu Tianjiang looked at Yelu Dou.
Ha said.
"Earrings are four hundred taels per pair, bracelets are eight hundred taels, and pendants are one thousand five hundred taels~. As long as you, Mr. Zhu, take the money, I have plenty here." Yelu Douha quoted the price with all his treasures.
"You are going crazy! Did all my money fall from the sky?" Zhu Tianjiang looked at Yelu Doha depressedly.
"Don't be indifferent, there are people who want it anyway." Yelu Doha said nonchalantly.
"Yes, yes, Sister Dou Ha's accessories are all waiting in a queue." Yu'er said with a smile.
Zhu Tianjiang's heart moved, he looked at Yelu Doha and asked, "Sister, do you agree or disagree with what I told you last time?" Zhu Tianjiang said, and quietly glanced at the Seventh Princess.
Yelu Doha knew in her heart that Zhu Tianjiang wanted her to be the chief shopkeeper of Zhu Jiyin Tower in the capital. In front of the Seventh Princess, Zhu Tianjiang couldn't tell her directly.
"Okay, okay, but I have a request."
"What request?"
"Split the accounts three to seven, I have to consider the interests of the family."
Zhu Tianjiang thought for a while, and it was okay to give her three to seven points. With Yelu Doha's elite mind, it was appropriate to give her three points.
"Okay! I agree, 37 is 37." Zhu Tianjiang said simply.
"Brother Tianxiang, please hear me clearly. I am taking seven, and you are taking three." Yelu Doha added.
Zhu Tianjiang's eyes widened, "Sister, even if you are as kind as a big cow, you won't be so black."
"If it doesn't work, pull him down. Anyway, it's you who begged me, not me who begged you." Yelu Doha said unkindly.
Zhu Tianjiang stood up angrily and pointed at a pile of jewelry, "I tell you guys, no one should buy this crap in the future. It's worthless. Dou Ha is just a black-hearted businessman. It's too dark."
"Tianxiang, how can you say that? Dou Ha is a girl after all, why don't you give him any face?" Zhan Ling said angrily.
Zhu Tianjiang stood up helplessly, wondering if she could be called a girl like that? Stop joking.
"Okay, you guys chat, I'll go to the backyard to see the master." Zhu Tianjiang knew that he was no match for a quarrel with several girls, so he stood up and left.
"Tiansheng, there's no need to go, Grandpa Lin has gone to our house." Guo Ying said quickly.
"Oh, went to your house?"
"Grandma invited her there." Guo Ying said, with a sad look on her face.
Zhu Tianjiang understood that Guo Ying was worried about the old lady's condition, "Yingzi, the old lady is old, and I really can't do anything about her illness. However, the old lady has her own destiny, and I guess we will get married in the spring."
, just be happy."
When Zhu Tianjiang said this, Yu'er Zhanling and others showed shy expressions on their faces. When they thought about officially marrying into the Zhu family after the Spring Festival, several girls were nervous and yearning. However, the seventh princess felt sad in her heart.
I feel a sense of sadness, it seems that I have no chance to meet the person I secretly love in this life.
Mrs. Guo's condition was not as easy as Zhu Tianjiang imagined. The Guo Mansion had kept it secret from the outside world and did not leak the news that Mrs. Guo was seriously ill. However, Mrs. Guo knew that her end was approaching, so she asked Yu'er to take care of Lin Feng.
I invited him over. There were a few important things that Mrs. Guo wanted to entrust to her personally. In addition, Mrs. Guo asked herself that she had never wronged anyone in her life but Lin Feng, and she felt a little guilty. Before her deadline, Mrs. Guo also wanted to help Lin Feng.
