Lingyu smiled and said: "Not only the Night Pearl, but the second brother also brought back some coral trees, which are as tall as a man. The second brother said he would give them to dad as a Christmas tribute gift after the new year."

The First Emperor waved his hand: "As a Christmas gift, just let your mother write a book, calligraphy and painting."

Wouldn’t it smell good to keep such a tall coral at home?

Sending calligraphy and paintings to your wife can also make her famous.

Anyway, Xin Bujiang admired his wife's calligraphy and paintings and bought them. Nowadays, many people want to buy them, but the First Emperor has not agreed.

Things are expensive, his wife's handwriting, can that be measured by money?

Of course, this is mainly because His Majesty the First Emperor has two thousand taels of private money secretly stuffed by his four daughters. He is not short of money now!

After sitting down, Lingyu made tea. The First Emperor tasted it and remembered that his three colleagues wanted tea, so he asked Qixun: "Do you still have the tea that Fusu brought today?"

What tea?”

Qixun said: "This is the most famous green tea in my previous life. It is called Longjing. It is celebrated during the Grain Rain period during the Qingming Festival. The tea before the Ming Dynasty is the most precious because it is shaped like a bird's tongue. It is also called Dragon Bird. It has a clear blue color and a slightly sweet fragrance that can refresh your mind.

It refreshes the brain, delays aging, and has a preventive effect on many diseases. This year, there are still three kilograms of Mingqian tea cooked by the third sister, and we keep one kilogram at home. Since Dad asked about this tea, someone must have asked him for it, and the rest

If so, give it to dad as a gift. There are also several other teas, the taste of which is not inferior to Longjing. I will try it later. These teas contain a slight amount of spiritual energy and are excellent for ordinary people to use for health."

The First Emperor knew that the space of his second daughter could probably be used for planting.

But he didn't ask any more questions.

After talking about tea, the First Emperor took out a land deed and gave it to Lingyu: "This is an imperial manor given by Emperor Daxia today, about thirty miles away from the city, at the foot of Longshou Mountain.

"

Longshou Mountain is the closest mountain peak to Chaoge City in the Yinlongling Mountains. It is named because its shape in the mountains resembles a dragon's head. That area is mostly occupied by royal villas, and there are also some villas owned by powerful people. The location is excellent.

Lingyu took the land deed and looked at it, and said happily: "There are actually a thousand acres? Now our family also has a village in the suburbs of Beijing?"

Thousands of acres of land, even if the land price in the suburbs of Beijing is the most expensive in Daxia, I can still afford it. But the problem is that there is no land for sale in the suburbs of Beijing, especially in the vast areas of Zhuangzi. Even if there are Zhuangzi that have been taken back by officials who ransacked their homes, it is basically impossible to buy a thousand acres of land.

It will not be sold out, but will be taken back by the court and will be used by the emperor to reward meritorious officials in the future.

Otherwise, Li Xiaochu's mother, Mrs. Li, would not have thought of using a farm on the outskirts of Beijing as a thank-you gift to the Yan brothers and sisters.

Lingyu was obsessed with farming, and she was the happiest when she got Zhuangzi.

"Thank you, daddy."

The First Emperor had previously promised to get her a farm in the capital. Unexpectedly, this little wish came true as soon as he arrived.

The First Emperor said: "After the new year, you have to go and have a look. If you feel that you are not suitable, you can leave."

The people in charge of the imperial estates are all royal servants. Although they are slaves, they often have a superior attitude. Moreover, the servants in these imperial estates are often related to other imperial estates, so they may not be easy to use. I really want to quit.

He also offended people from other imperial estates, and these stewards often had complicated connections in the Department of Internal Affairs.

But I am not afraid of my own situation.

Besides, there is also Daddy Long.

Lingyu smiled and said: "Looking back, if you can use it, use it. If you can't, just listen to dad and send it back to the Department of Internal Affairs."

Lingyu doesn't care about the management, as long as the tenants can work. And these tenants are Daxia people, serious commoners, and they are not the same thing as the royal servants. In order to feed the family on the tenanted fields, life can

If I can live on, I will probably work harder than my master in tending the fields.

Even if the family hires people, the tenants on their own farms are more knowledgeable than those hired from outside. If they are well cultivated, they can be used for a long time. After all, such people, the family's livelihood is tied to the owner's family, and they will not easily find someone else.

way out.

In the evening, the family had dinner in the glass room. After dinner, they each read in the glass room and occasionally exchanged a few words. Outside, the sky was full of stars and the moon was shining like a wash. Even the First Emperor had to admit that this glass

The room is indeed a good place.

The next day, the chamberlain of the Department of Internal Affairs sent a list of the tenants of Huangzhuang.

Lingyu thought that the list of tenants would have to wait until he took over the farm, and would be provided by the steward at the time of handover. Unexpectedly, the Secretary of the Interior took this matter very seriously. Fusu entertained the chamberlain to drink tea and gave him a letter of silver, so he was polite.

Give people away in anger.

Fusu thought that Cui Gui would have to wait for a few days before coming over, but unexpectedly, Cui Gui came to the door after seeing off the chamberlain. Since he was a guest as a junior, he had to go to Gongyu Mingxi Qing first.

Peace.

Fusu led him to the glass room in the back garden.

The glass house had just been built, and my mother and sisters were very curious about it. If Fusu hadn't entertained the chamberlain, he would have been reading in the glass house right now.

When Cui Gui saw the Yan family's glass house, he was stunned and thought to himself, there is no other house in Chaoge City that is so luxurious.

Envy of strength.

The key point is that this is not a matter of whether you have money or not. A glass house cannot be built with money.

He couldn't even figure out where all the glass in the Yan family came from.

It may be said that there are monks in the Yan family, but most of the powerful families in Chaoge City still have monks to some extent for several generations. Then you have never seen any family with such a big glass house, right?

The head of Cui's family in Beijing is now the Minister of Household Affairs and is in charge of Daxia's money bag. There is also a place where glass is installed in the house. The glass was not bought but given by the emperor.

Yesterday, the clan brothers showed off to him for a long time. At that time, Cui Gui was quite envious of people with glass windows. He thought that this was a really good thing. If the Department of Internal Affairs produces more glass one day, he would definitely find a way.

Buy some and go back to Linjiang to install them at home.

As a result, tsk, the Yan family installed an entire glass house.

Looking at it from a distance, the glass room is full of flowers and beautifully decorated. Once inside, I find that it is bright and warm inside. Although there is no charcoal fire, it is as warm as spring. What a magical day.

He sighed in his heart, but it didn't stop him from paying tribute to Gong Yu Mingxi first: "Nephew Cui Gui, I have met my aunt."

Gong Yumingxi heard about Cui Gui yesterday, and thinking that this boy had been beaten by his son, and that his child was actually not a bad boy, he couldn't help but feel apologetic, and his attitude became a bit more amiable.

"Excuse me. I just heard Fusu mention you yesterday. I didn't want to see you today," he said, pointing to the chair, "sit down and talk."

Cui Gui said with a smile: "If I hadn't had to settle down yesterday and meet the elders of the clan, I would have wanted to come over to pay my respects to my aunt yesterday. I see my aunt as a very amiable person. If I hadn't known that you are the biological mother of Fusu and his sisters,

I still think of her as my sister, but you look too young. I wonder if Brother Hao and my sisters have such outstanding looks. It turns out it’s because they have such a beautiful mother like you.”

Gong Yumingxi was amused: "You kid is so good at talking."

This is so straightforward that it catches people off guard.
