Chapter 1307 The twelfth lunar month

After Laba Festival, the whole capital begins to prepare for the New Year. Year-end accounts, gifts among relatives and friends, New Year's Eve festivals... all kinds of trivial matters are filled with people's lives. Even gossip, gossip, seem to be temporary.

It has stopped a lot. Without him, people are so busy that they have no time to talk.

Qin Hanzhen also started taking inventory for the first time after marrying into Suning County Prince's Mansion. This is not an ordinary noble family, it is just as simple as taking stock of one's own property and daily income and expenditure. The property of the County Prince's Mansion is naturally rich, but

In addition to Zhao Mo's own private property, there are also various incomes from the fiefdom of Suning County. He also has to calculate the annual tribute to the court, make a list, and have people transport it to Beijing carefully, and make arrangements with the Ministry of Rites

Delivery.

This is definitely not something that can be completed in a few days of calculation. Qin Hanzhen selected the people among his dowry who were good at accounting, plus Ah Shou, Ah Xing and their accountants, and calculated for seven or eight days.

It was finally over, and then people were asked to load the truck and load the goods. Just in case, Qin Hanzhen did not delay sending things to the Ministry of Rites like other princes did, but sent them as soon as they were ready. In terms of speed,

It is said that it can even be ranked in the top three. The portion is neither too much nor too little, just the average annual tribute of a clan with a normal income, a close branch of a county, a prince's palace, nothing out of the ordinary, and no one can make a mistake.

Of course, given how favored Zhao Mo was in the royal family, Qin Hanzhen prepared several more gifts in private to honor the three great gods in the palace. This not only reflects the filial piety between her and Zhao Mo, but also does not need to hinder them.

In the eyes of others, it can also make them appear closer to the royal family members.

Qin Hanzhen even prepared a separate gift for Princess Minshun. Taking into account the little girl's preferences and current status of observing filial piety, everything is in line with her wishes and suitable for her use. There is nothing that does not apply to the filial piety period.

Jewelry and costumes were mainly daily necessities, as well as some elegant stationery or women's utensils. Princess Minshun liked them very much and thanked her again and again.

Princess Minshun also secretly told her a secret: "That time, my sister-in-law advised me to tell my father if I have any doubts in my heart. Don't worry about it. Don't question my father's love for me as a father and daughter because of outsiders' gossip."

I really felt sorry for me. I asked my father why he didn’t want to talk to me as much as before. As a result, my father told me that when he saw me, he remembered the death of my mother and concubine, and felt sorry for me, so he asked me

He became a child without a mother. But the mother-in-law was indeed at fault, and he could not forgive her lightly without conscience, just pretending that nothing had happened. My father felt sad, and felt that he had no face to see me, for fear that I would resent him.

That’s why he doesn’t want to talk to me too much, lest I can’t help but say something that hurts his heart. But he also knows that if he avoids meeting me, he’s afraid that the people in the palace will misunderstand and neglect me.

For me, so I still come to see me every day..."

Princess Minshun shed tears as she spoke: "I realized then that my father still loved me as much as ever, but I misunderstood his sincerity. It was so unfilial! My father didn't want me to express my resentment towards him.

Actually, I was worried that the emperor's grandfather would take his anger out on me. Because of what my mother-in-law did, the emperor's grandfather was the one who was most angry. If it hadn't been for my father's begging, the emperor's grandfather would have secretly killed my mother-in-law!

In fact, my father was really worried. How could I resent him? The death of my mother-in-law was beyond her own control and was her own fault. I may blame Chu Zhengfang and his wife, and my mother herself, but I definitely don’t resent my father.

The truth!”

Qin Hanzhen sighed and comforted her and said: "The princess has now resolved the misunderstanding with His Highness the Crown Prince. In the future, it will be better for a father to be kind and a daughter to be filial and to live in harmony. The Crown Princess has passed away, but His Highness the Crown Prince and the Princess still have to live together."

Continue to live in this world. As far as the princess is concerned, there is no relative in the world who is closer than His Highness the Crown Prince. You don’t have to worry about anything in the future, and don’t get separated because of other people.”

Princess Minshun wiped her tears and nodded: "I think so too. Even if my mother-in-law is at fault, she is still my biological mother. Now that she has passed away, I have forgotten those unpleasant pasts and only remember her

The benefits are good. My father is my closest relative, and I never misunderstood his principles just because of other people's instigation. And the emperor's grandfather, in fact, the emperor's grandfather also loved me very much and did not treat me because of my mother's affairs.

I'm biased. My father is actually too cautious. I have already expressed my concerns to my grandfather and my father. My grandfather comforted me personally and called me to him every day to eat with him, so that no one would gossip again.

Talk about gossiping about me. The Queen Mother even re-selected the palace servants to serve me. The old man did not punish me and let me go out of the palace along with the other palace servants, just to accumulate some good virtue for me."

Qin Hanzhen said with a smile: "It's good if the princess is happy. In this way, the princess and her family will be in harmony, and there will be no misunderstandings or miscommunication in the future."

Princess Minshun pursed her lips and smiled shyly. Suddenly she remembered something and asked Qin Hanzhen in his ear: "Sister-in-law, you have a good relationship with the girls from the Cai family, right? Your natal family seems to have a close relationship with Cai."

Home is in-laws?”

Qin Hanzhen blinked and nodded: "Yes, my stepmother is the sister of Marquis Yunyang. My fourth cousin, Jinchun, who is familiar to the princess, is engaged to a descendant of the Cai family, and there is another

My cousin is married to the Marquis of Yunyang and is now pregnant."

Princess Minshun hesitated for a moment: "Does his girl have a good temperament? Is it easy to get along with her?"

Qin Hanzhen said with a smile: "I don't know much about the girl from the annex of the Cai family, but the eldest daughter of Marquis Yunyang has a very good temperament, cheerful and thoughtful, and she is very considerate. I am the most familiar with her.

The sisters don't have much contact with each other. I have met a few times before, and I feel that they are all girls who are easy to get along with." Qin Hanzhen hesitated for a moment, "Why does the princess ask this?"

Princess Minshun's eyes wandered a little: "It's nothing. The Queen Mother told me that if I get bored in the palace, I can ask girls from several high-ranking officials and eunuchs to come into the palace to talk to me. I am impatient to talk to strangers.

For dealing with people, we could have called Jinchun, but she is also very busy at home. Besides, if you ask her about the Cai family, she will definitely say that everyone in the Cai family is good. I don’t know what kind of illusion Cai Shiqi put into her.

|Soul|Soup!" Princess Minshun snorted, obviously not happy to see her little friend being distracted by her fiancé after getting engaged. She held Qin Hanzhen's arm and said: "Good sister-in-law, I

I just believe what you say!"

Qin Hanzhen said with a smile: "Well, everyone has personal preferences. What I like may not be what others want. Whether the girls of the Cai family are good or not, the princess will know if she has seen it in person. Just ask me, but

It's not possible to do it accurately. Since the Queen Mother wants to find some friends for the princess to accompany her, the princess will call them into the palace to have a chat."

Princess Minshun withdrew her hand and laughed twice: "Forget it, I have a Bodhisattva here, and I burn incense all day long, so I don't have to smoke other people. If you want to see him, let's wait until later."

Qin Hanzhen followed Princess Minshun's words and passed on the words, but she was murmuring in her heart. She didn't believe that the Queen Mother would suddenly mention that she wanted to find some high-ranking officials and the daughters of eunuchs to enter the palace.

Princess Minshun as a companion. Although the period of royal mourning for the Crown Princess has passed, Princess Minshun obviously has to wear the mourning for a full year. There is no reason to invite people to accompany her in a big way. Moreover, Princess Minshun already has several

Companion reading, not even Qin Jinchun is included, there is a girl from the Tu family among the four. The Queen Mother wants to find a companion for Princess Minshun. She can find someone without having to work hard, so how can she suddenly mention the Marquis of Yunyang?

The daughter of the government?

Marquis Yunyang is still defending the country from enemies in Liaodong, and the royal family will only show more favor to his family. Although it is not rude to summon the daughter of Marquis Yunyang into the palace to chat with the crown prince's eldest daughter, but considering

During her lifetime, the Crown Princess was relied upon by the Chu family to oppress the children of the Cai family. Even the Crown Princess herself had times when she was not too polite to the Yunyang Marquis Mansion. This approach seemed very inappropriate. This was not the Queen Mother, the Emperor or the

The prince would come up with the idea, so why did Princess Minshun specifically inquire about the girl from the Cai family?

Princess Minshun did not mention this matter again. Qin Hanzhen chatted with her for a while longer before saying goodbye and leaving the palace. As the New Year approached, she became busier and busier, and she did not even enter the palace often.

It happened frequently before. No way, Zhao Mo is not at home, and it is the first time for her to take charge of the affairs of the fief. She has no experience before, so she will inevitably have to be a little confused. Fortunately, Ah Shou and others are very capable, and there are no subordinate officials.

She was troubled at this moment. Even in the fiefdom, everyone was obedient and everything went smoothly, which made her feel a little relieved. Otherwise, without Zhao Mo's guidance, she would not know how to get through this.

However, Zhao Mo had been away from home for so long, and she really missed him. It was winter, and the bed was cold. Even though the girls had prepared all kinds of heating equipment, she still felt cold in her heart. It was strange.

Obviously before the end of July this year, she still slept alone on the same bed, like this every winter, and she didn't think there was any problem. Zhao Mo had already spoiled her rotten after just a few months of marriage.

Late at night, Qin Hanzhen dragged his body, which had been tiring for a day, to sit on the kang, then leaned against the fumigation cage and let out a long sigh.

Feng'er brought her a soothing soup and said: "Princess, you have worked really hard today. However, today I finally settled all the accounts, and sent out all the festive gifts from each family, even to the uncle and Aunt Ma in the fiefdom."

The New Year's gift has been loaded into the car, and we are just waiting to set off early tomorrow morning. The busiest days of the new year have passed. Before New Year's Eve, the princess can finally have a good rest for a few days. Let's get up later tomorrow, right?

"

Qin Hanzhen waved his hand and asked feebly: "The New Year's gift prepared for the Yongjia Marquis Mansion has not been delivered yet. I will go there in person tomorrow and visit my grandfather, grandmother, father, mother and aunt along the way.

There are also Brother Zhuang, Sixth Sister and the others. Only when this is done can I really breathe a sigh of relief."

But even so, there is no guarantee that she will be truly free during the rest of the twelfth lunar month. Zhao Mo is not at home, and she often has to fulfill his responsibilities. There are several villages in the suburbs of Beijing, and she has to

Go and take a look for yourself. After New Year's Eve, in addition to the banquets in the palace, there will also be banquets in various princes' and princesses' palaces. The Suning County Prince's Palace itself will also have to hold one or two banquets according to the occasion, and there will also be various banquets.

When going out and paying New Year greetings, relatives and friends from the Qin family should not be left behind... She was so busy in the first month that she could not take care of her own family at all, and she had to finish all the things she should do before the New Year.

As a boss, you must visit a circle of employees before the new year, treat everyone to a big meal, hand out year-end bonuses, and let everyone celebrate the New Year happily. Only then can you be considered a good boss.

When Qin Hanzhen thought of the busy schedule ahead, he felt that he could not relax at all.

Alas... when will my husband come back?
