Gong Chang went to the Wen Hua Palace to give lessons to the Emperor, and at the age of seventy, he became the emperor's tutor. Although he was not appointed as the assistant minister by the Former Emperor, he had a very important say and position in major political matters.
Zhu Yijun had once wanted to exempt him from such formalities, and Gong Chang Zai had said that formalities could not be wasted. This old official had also kept on reminding himself that he could not relax just because of His Majesty's kindness, and that the authority of the Emperor should not be neglected.
”If everyone is like teacher, I would be at ease even if I were to say 'bow down before you'.” Zhu Yijun said.
What did Gong Chang say then? Oh, governing the country is like cooking a small fish, His Majesty can read more books on the law these days. Everyone has to be under His Majesty's control, and it is better to not have any preferences. Otherwise, it would be very easy for the taste of this little freshman to disappear.
After Gong Chang Zai finished bowing, the attendant came over and asked him to sit down. Gong Chang saw the lantern hanging by the window and said, ”It seems that Your Majesty really likes this lamp?” This was a lanterns that bloomed during the night. It was not an ordinary lantern. But now, it was swaggering around in the position of the palace lamp, showing off its position as the owner's favorite.
”Teacher, what do you think of this word?” Zhu Yijun said.
Zhang Cheng carefully held up the lamp for Gong Chang Zai to appraise. Gong Chang was also someone who loved words, so after taking a closer look, he slapped his leg and said: ”Good word.”
”Like the flowing clouds and flowing water, his calligraphy is exquisite, and one can vaguely see the carefree movements of a dragon and a phoenix.” Gong Chang said, ”I don't know which master created this calligraphy piece, but I too would like to request some calligraphy.”
”Not a master.” Zhu Yijun said.
To be able to write such a character, how can he not be considered a master?” Gong Chang said, ”There is a relationship between a master and fame, but not necessarily. ”In this world, there are many unworthy masters. It's not like there are no famous masters.
”If teacher likes it, the next time I meet her, I'll ask for a word for teacher.” Zhu Yijun said.
”Was it the person the emperor met when he was out of the palace?” Gong Chang asked.
”They say that I am the lord of the world, and that I am a king in this world. However, I am stuck in this Forbidden City and can't go anywhere. I would be taught a lesson even if I were to walk around the Imperial City.”
”Your Majesty, it is as Your Majesty said. Your Majesty is the ruler of the world. Your Majesty can go anywhere in the world.” Gong Chang said, ”The chief assistant was worried because the king left the palace alone without telling anyone. He only brought two or three people with him and they are in danger.”
Zhu Yijun was deep in thought. Then, if he brought along bodyguards Qi then he would have been able to go out patrolling? Once out of the palace is already out of the cage of birds, day and night want to go out again.
Madame Marquis Wu Qing came to the palace to see the empress dowager. ”The young ladies of the Calm Market are all from small families. However, the second lady of the Wang family is the legendary second young lady whose lanterns were sold for three thousand taels of silver. Her beauty is truly outstanding.”
”What is your character?” Empress Dowager Li asked.
”It's normal, but a bit petty.” Marquis Wu Qing's wife said, ”Perhaps it's because of Ol 'Two, I'm always a little dissatisfied with Eldest Brother's discipline. Fortunately, he's still obedient.”
”As long as you can be obedient.” The Empress Dowager Li said, ”Since mother said that she is exceptionally beautiful, then let the selected eunuch take her name.” As a mother, no matter how strict she was, she always thought of her son. Her son's backyard must have a few beautiful concubines.
Wang Yunhe was about to go out when he heard that a merchant ship from Quanzhou had arrived. She was holding onto her account book. The first month of the year had passed, and it was time for her to check the entrance and exit accounts for the new year. The girls had to learn to manage their own yard by the time they were twelve, and Wang Rong-chiao's burden was heavier, and the old lady had left her mother's dowry to herself early in the morning.
What a coincidence.” Wang Rong said with a smile. She was holding an account on a tray. From the beginning, the account book had been made into a form according to her habit of looking at it. There was a date in front of her, a column of income, a column of expenses, and behind that, a note. ”At least I didn't waste the basic accountancy of college.
Wang Rong He's income mainly came from her mother's dowry, which included the rent of the shop and the rent of the farmland. When Wang Rong He was in charge of her mother's dowry, she excitedly thought about doing business, so she had many good ideas, but she only met a few shopkeepers, so she asked a few questions to dispel this childish idea. Although the reputation of Imperial Guard's Wang Qianhu Residence was useful, but she was not sure if a young lady who had yet to leave the pavilion would be able to come up with something new, and if others came looking for her, they would cause more trouble for the Imperial Guard's Wang Qianhu Residence. In the end, even the shop her mother opened at that time was left behind by three of the best. The rest of the stores were all closed, and the funds for the event went back to buying land in the blink of an eye.
It's much simpler to spend money on people, especially sisters. Their relationships with each other are all small matters, and they treat their elders with filial piety on holidays and birthdays.” In fact, Wang Rong was willing to give her elders some expensive gifts. After all, she was not lacking in money right now. However, her elders' respect for her preferred her handmade little items or writing words.
Besides the cash account, there was also a fixed asset account book. The old lady remembered that she needed a flower pot or something in her storehouse today, so she quickly went to ask if there was anything that she needed when spring came.
It wasn't that the Lady Cui didn't complain, but since the Old Granny's words stopped her, how could you treat the Eldest Girl, Second Girl, and Third Girl the same? You're worried about me even before I die?
In the end, the Lady Cui was scolded by Wang Wei.
The Zhang Clan did not keep all the spoils of war that Wang Wei had extorted from the bandits, they were sold off a little too. In the end, some of them ended up being sold off and had their cousins take care of them. In the days of the Former Emperor, the sea was forbidden, and His Majesty hadn't even activated his seal yet. As long as someone bought it, there would always be people willing to take the risk.
Although Wang Wei was promoted to Beijing later on, although Zhang Clan was already dead, Wang Wei still felt that this business still existed, and it was better to bring his wife and brother to Beijing to do it.
