Looking at Xie Zhihui, Yuan Shi couldn't help but think of when her daughter left the cabinet, she was filled with emotion. She took Xie Zhihui's hand and got up, "Good boy, don't be so polite, go in and talk."

Tonight, it is reasonable to ask the mother to accompany the daughter who is about to leave the cabinet for the night. Xie Zhiwei was accompanied by the old lady Cui for the night.

"Tonight, auntie will sleep with you. Tomorrow you will go to someone else's house to be a wife. My auntie sees you like your big sister. I really don't want to part with it."

Xie Zhihui's tears fell down, and she threw herself into Yuan's arms, "Uncle, I don't even know how to thank you and eldest sister!"

"Stupid child, what are you talking about? What kind of words of thanks do the family members say? This is really a gift."

Xie Tiao and Xie Zhongbai returned to Yanjing a long time ago, Xie Tiao is still on sick leave, these days, Zhang Quanjin came to the door every three days, Xie Tiao was entangled by him, but he still refused to give an inch, and even played a rogue, Zhang Quanjin said that he forced his daughter to death, so he vented his anger on the Xie family. What does it have to do with them?

In the early morning of the next day, there were family members Yuan and family Qian in the backyard, and the nanny sent back by Hai family was delayed on the way, so she arrived and went to Xie Zhihui's house, and when no one was looking, she stuffed a thousand The two silver bills were given to Xie Zhihui, saying that the fourth aunt gave her the bottom of the box.

To put it bluntly, Haishi sent a set of face masks, which was also worth one or two hundred taels of silver.

This woman is very good at talking, "The fourth wife also asked the servant girl to tell the girl that when we go to other people's homes and become their daughter-in-law, we should observe the etiquette and don't let others bully you. If you have any grievances, you must come back." explain."

Xie Zhihui nodded, with tears in her eyes, "How are the seventh and eighth brothers?"

Haishi gave birth to another son last year, who is about half a year old now.

"Okay, that's alright, when the fourth wife is busy, the servants will watch over her, she is really smart and strong."

Xie Zhihui couldn't help but miss them very much, and wondered when they would be able to come back?

After half an hour, a eunuch came to the palace, Xie Tiao was receiving guests in the main hall, when he heard about it, he rushed up to greet him, and said politely, "Elder-in-law, what orders does the emperor and empress have?"

This is fair and fair, "Master Xie, the emperor and the empress are coming, so I sent a servant to come over first and say that there is no need to pick them up. What happened before is still the same today."

Xiao Xun and Xie Zhiwei can say that, but Xie Tiao can't really do that. Many people in the court have come, and Zhang Quanjin's scourge is still there. .

Xie Zhongbai was clever for a while, he quickly winked and asked someone to go to the back to report, and soon, Yuan Shi led the family to welcome him out, Xie's house was waiting all over the place.

Xiao Xun and Xie Zhiwei's carriage stopped outside the door, Xie Tiao took a step forward and knelt on the ground, and the people behind him all knelt down, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Empress!"

"Grandfather, mother!"

Xie Zhiwei hurriedly stepped forward to help her, but Xiao Xun was already one step ahead of her, and helped Xie Tiao up with his own hands, "You are too polite!"

Xie Tiaoxin said, can I not kneel?

He just got up, looked at Xie Zhiwei, saw that she looked very good, with only one belly, as big as a basin on her body, and was very worried for a while, and handed her to Yuan Shi, "Be careful, be careful! "

Yuan naturally knew the seriousness, and helped Xie Zhiwei to walk into the house. Xie Zhihui and others had already got up, surrounded by Xie Zhiwei, all of them were very excited, their eyes were shining brightly, Xie Mingxi followed, and gently pulled Xie Zhiwei's sleeves.

Xie Zhiwei turned his head to see him, and said with a smile, "Go talk to your brother-in-law!"

"Hey!" Xie Mingxi jumped up and ran out.

In Yuan Shi's eyes, she was naturally overjoyed. She and Xie Yuanbai have always been together and separated more these years, and they have no children. Just these two, I hope that they can be intimate and depend on each other in the future.

Xie Mingxi followed behind Xiao Xun like a little tail, Xie Tiao asked Xiao Xun to go to the study to talk, only a few cabinet elders were left, Xie Mingxi was about to go out, Xiao Xun called him, "Brother Xi, You stay and make tea for us!"

Zhang Quanjin and the others couldn't help but take a deep look at this child, seeing that he had a pair of extraordinarily bright eyes, exquisite facial features, and a very decent manner. Zeng Shiyi knew Xie Mingxi, but Zhang Quanjin didn't, so he looked at Zeng Shiyi with questioning eyes.

Zeng Shiyi smiled and said, "I still remember that Fifth Young Master was only this tall when I went to Peach Blossom Villa with the late Emperor?"

Xie Tiao nodded with a smile, "He was brought up by his sister since he was a child, until his sister came out of the cabinet, in the blink of an eye the children were gone, and we were old too!"

Only then did Zhang Quanjin understand that this child was actually the younger brother of the empress, and he was so loved by the emperor.

Xie Mingxi brewed the tea himself, and brought it to Xiao Xun, "Brother-in-law, the tea I brew is not good."

Xiao Xun picked it up, took a sip, and nodded appreciatively, "It's not bad, it's not too bad!"

After making tea, he stood behind Xiao Xun, Xiao Xun leaned back on the back of the armchair, squinted his eyes and asked Zhang Quanjin, "Mr. Zhang Ge, how are you doing with the enthronement ceremony and queen conferment ceremony?"

As soon as Xiao Xun said this, even Xie Tiao couldn't understand it. The enthronement ceremony and empress ceremony were led by King Jingjiang, with Zeng Shiyi and Chi Yude as assistants. Why did the emperor ask about Zhang Quanjin?

Zhang Quanjin hurriedly stood up, "Your Majesty, the King of Jingjiang County and Mr. Zeng Mr. Chi are on business, and I don't know about it!"

As he said that, Zhang Quanjin glanced at Zeng Shiyi and Zeng Shiyi, with some resentment in his eyes. The two were clearly sitting here, but they didn't speak.

"Oh, that's right!" Xiao Xun seemed to know nothing, turned his head and asked Xie Tiao, "Grandfather, what kind of job does Mr. Zhang Ge get?"

Xie Tiao didn't dare to call him "grandfather", and stood up respectfully, "If you go back to the emperor, Mr. Zhang Ge is the servant of the household department."

"The left servant of the household department!" Xiao Xun started to play with the dragon and phoenix jade bracelet in his hand again. He thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Zhang Ge, did the income and expenditure of the household department stay the same last year?"

"If you go back to the emperor, you will spend too much and have a serious deficit!" Zhang Quanjin frowned, the emperor asked these for no reason.

"Then tell me, how did you surpass the law? Where did the deficit come from?" Afraid that Zhang Quanjin would not know how to answer, "Just tell me, among the six departments, how much the Ministry of Industry surpassed, and how much the Ministry of War surpassed. , and the Ministry of Etiquette, oh, the Ministry of Punishment will definitely not surpass it, it should be mainly the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, both of which spend the most money."

Zhang Quanjin said, "Last year, the annual tax bill of the two capitals and the thirteen provinces was 39.52 million taels. The budget for last year was 38.25 million taels at the beginning of the year. However, at the end of last year, the bills reported by the various ministries totaled 52 million taels, and the annual deficit reached 124.8 million taels."
