Sun Wuniang smiled and took it and spanked her, her fingers were very nimble.
Liu Qiniang said cautiously: "Master's wife, I can also hit, how about I hit one of your Xunqiu?"
"I won't beat this pair, otherwise Ajingdai will be too long-winded." Yan Shiyue smiled and asked someone to bring over a few more smoked balls: "You beat these, you want a lot of them, like a bunch of grapes."
So when they went back, Qu Sinian and Gu Hengsha both received a pair of smoked balls, with a bunch of shiny small coins hanging from their heads, which looked particularly like the temperament of the Ministry of Household and Commercial Affairs. Not to mention, Yan Shiyue also sent
I also gave a pair to Ren Zenan.
Only Xu Wenqu was spared and given a white sandalwood fan, which she thought was very elegant, and two inkstones.
So when the prince came to the door the next day, he saw her waving her fan and walking over with glittering gold. The prince smiled and said: "I see that your business department is rich! You can't put it in your purse, and you have to hang it on your body."
Yan Shiyue waved her fan and said: "What looks elegant may not be really elegant. I call it a true celebrity who is self-effacing!"
"Okay," the prince said, "It's all your fault anyway, I won't argue with you."
Yan Shiyue walked around looking cool and asked him: "Is it fun to go out?"
The prince was used to her being like this, so he didn't reply that he wasn't there just for fun. He just smiled and said, "The farther you go, the less knowledgeable you feel. The more people you meet, the more you feel that your knowledge is shallow."
He let out a long sigh: "When I was three years old, I was studying essays and couldn't let go of the scroll. But there are indeed geniuses in this world. There are many who are close to me, and many who are far away... I can't count how many."
Yan Shiyue smiled and said: "It's not enough to compare with the superiors, but it's more than enough to compare with the inferiors! Have you ever come across a time when you start a pen and shock everyone along the way? You see, although I am uneducated and incompetent, I never
Compared with Mr. Xu, I will only compete with illiterate people, wouldn’t I feel much happier this way?”
The prince laughed repeatedly.
She is a strange person who often makes people feel that they cannot continue talking, but after the conversation, she is always in a good mood.
The prince smiled and said: "Let's not talk about it. I heard that the Ministry of Commerce will openly accept self-recommendations? Your place is different from the six departments. It should be small but good. If the recruitment is relaxed, I don't know how many people will be placed."
Yan Shiyue said: "Qu Sinian has to worry about these things, and I don't care."
The prince said helplessly: "There is a man here named Han Qi. He is currently in Jingzhao Mansion. Although this man's official position is not high, he is very talented. If you transfer him to the Ministry of Commerce, he can help you a little... Otherwise, it will be wrong."
In this year, it is difficult for a person to support himself alone, and Ren Zenan is too busy with his mundane affairs, so he is afraid of making mistakes while busy."
Yan Shiyue said: "What do you mean by secular affairs? Our business department is all secular affairs."
"I know." The prince nodded her head: "Anyway, this person is for you to use, do you hear me?"
"I know," Yan Shiyue agreed: "Ask him to write a self-recommendation letter. I will select as many people as possible and come together. Otherwise, if I have to ask for one person a day, it will be troublesome to run to the palace every day."
The prince hummed, "Go over and take a look at the child."
The prince went over and entertained the child for a long time before leaving.
Yan Shiyue sent him out and was silent for a long time.
After not seeing each other for half a year, the prince seems to have changed a lot. I can’t tell where he has changed. Anyway... he feels different from before.
After the excitement of the Thousand Autumn Festival, Yan Shiyue and Qu Sinian screened the self-recommendation letters together. In addition to Han Qi, they also accidentally saw an acquaintance, Lin Cheng, who was the Lin County Magistrate of Longmen County. In addition,
, and more than ten people were selected.
The two interviewed these people.
Han Qi is indeed talented and has clear ideas, so he is very important.
Lin Cheng was an honest and simple person, but he didn't actually have much talent in the economic field, but Yan Shiyue felt more at ease with him, and the Ministry of Commerce also needed some other personnel, so he kept him, leaving only nine people in total.
She didn't care much about which of these people belonged to whom or which camp they belonged to.
On the eighteenth day of the fifth month, the Holy Emperor set out for the palace.
This time, Emperor Ming Yan still brought the prince, but left four or five princes to take care of the affairs together. Because Jiushi was still young, he did not bring the queen.
Yan Shiyue also asked her family in advance, but the young couple did not leave, and Ren Dong and his wife also stayed behind. Yan Shiyue only took Huo Nan and Zhao Kuangyin with him, while Huo Qijing took Chu Ningyuan with him.
, she took Tang Xiu with her.
As for the Ministry of Commerce, Ren Zenan stayed and Qu Sinian followed with a group of people.
This time, the journey went very smoothly, and there were no invitations to drive. Seven days later, when we arrived at the palace, Yan Shiyue was arranged to live in Changle Hall, which is the second largest palace in the entire Jiucheng Palace, a big distance away from where Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty lived.
The palace is very close, and Xu Wenqu, Qu Sinian and others all live here.
The prince still lives in the side hall of the Dabao Palace.
Yan Shiyue had no idea that Changle Hall was supposed to be the place where the prince lived... and she had no idea what the purpose of taking the concubine Xian instead of the queen this time. She never thought much about it.
She just felt that it was extremely convenient to be able to recruit people and handle business at any time without leaving home.
Only Yan Shirui and Qu Sinian, who love to worry, were secretly worried in their hearts, but even the prince seemed to be very calm and calm, as if he was not aware of the subtleties involved.
Emperor Ming Yan often came to her place from the first day he moved in, playing chess with Xu Wenqu, or teasing the children, or fishing. He would stay there all day long, and even stay here when he got drunk at night, and everything would be handed over to her.
Let the prince handle it. If it really can't be handled, wait until he returns to handle it.
Yan Shiyue often saw Emperor Ming Yan outside when he got up in the morning and went out.
Could this be the legendary emperor's mental technique? Anyway, she really couldn't understand this operation.
Then one day, after dinner, Emperor Ming Yan had not left yet. Then after a while, Huo Qijing came in and saluted: "Your Majesty, everything has been arranged."
Yan Shiyue: "...???"
Emperor Ming Yan was very interested, stood up and said with a smile: "Let's go out and see my country!"
Yan Shiyue was completely confused. She thought she was going out for a walk at night, but the group quietly got into the carriage and ran all night, directly out of the city.
When he arrived in the city, he was greeted by someone, and when he entered the house, he dressed up and changed into civilian clothes.
Yan Shiyue looked around. This time, Emperor Ming Yan, Huo Qijing, Prince Chun, Xu Wenqu, Zhao Kuangyin...as well as Wei Xin and Gu Jiuxing came out.
Which song is this sung from?
Could this be the legendary incognito private visit?
Yan Shiyue suddenly became excited: "Why don't you tell me! I didn't bring any nice clothes with me! And my fan!"
"Bring it, bring it," Weixin came up with a bowl of medicine and said, "Master, drink the medicine first."
Yan Shiyue asked: "What medicine?"
Wei Xin whispered: "Returning to the milk."
Yan Shiyue: "...???"
They didn't tell her that she had forgotten it, but there was nothing she could do about it at this point. She grinned, picked up the bowl, and drank the medicine. (To be continued)
