With the money, Zhu Houzhao's first thought was to reward the women in front of him, so that these women could be more complimentary and pious to him.

He likes this feeling of spending money to enjoy. With money, he seems to take everything for granted and does not consider whether it is reasonable or not.

He had a happy and joyful night. Before dawn the next morning, Zhu Houzhao got up. He only slept for less than an hour and still needed to go back to the palace to make up for his sleep.

Zhu Houzhao came out of the room, Qian Ning was still sleeping, holding a woman in her arms.

Zhu Houzhao cleared his throat in front of Qian Ning. Qian Ning opened his eyes and was startled when he saw Zhu Houzhao. He quickly let go of the hand holding the woman, stood up to tidy up his clothes, and then saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty got up so early?"

According to his understanding of Zhu Houzhao's daily habits, Zhu Houzhao basically couldn't get up until noon.

Especially recently, Zhu Houzhao has been sleeping in the leopard room until noon before returning to the palace. If she is in a good mood after returning, she will participate in the court meeting. She is dozing off on the dragon throne with all the civil and military officials in the court, or she will go back to the Ganqing Palace to rest, after lunch, she will fall asleep on the bed and cover her head, and get up at night to leave the palace for a happy and happy life.

Zhu Houzhao yawned: "I want to go back to the palace early today. The Empress Dowager said that she would tell me about the wedding today. It would be okay to go back and listen to it...Where is the woman here?"

Qian Ning has a good status in Leopard House, and Zhu Houzhao is very favored, so Qian Ning often has sex with women in Leopard House. But the weird thing is that Zhu Houzhao doesn't care after seeing him, and there are even many women who take the initiative to reward Qian Ning.

Qian Ning asked the woman to leave first, and then said, "Your Majesty, isn't this a Nanzhili woman you came to visit a few days ago?"

"Yeah?"

Zhu Houzhao thought about it and didn't remember if this happened. He usually had too many women to come, so many of them could not even remember them. He shook his sleeves and said, "Forget it, I won't care about these things with you. It's not too early, so I'll arrange for the sedan chair to send me back to the palace. Oh, by the way, take away the money that Eunuch Liu sent yesterday, where are the others?"

Qian Ning replied: "Eunuch Liu went home to rest at the second update last night."

"Um."

Zhu Houzhao nodded again, and went out of the leopard room gate with Qian Ning and several guards. The sedan chair had been prepared for Zhu Houzhao outside.

Zhu Houzhao got into the sedan chair and was about to get off when he suddenly lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and said, "There is too much silver, it is not convenient to carry it back. Let's do this. I will first reward some to the heroes, Chen Qing's family... What I said is that the family of the three-sided general Chen Qing's family is now in the capital. I will send two thousand taels of silver over there, just think it is my wish."

Qian Ning saluted respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty." He responded, but he felt mixed feelings in his heart: "Eunuch Liu is greedy for money, it's nothing to leave it to His Majesty. After all, everything that Eunuch Liu is given to him, but it is given to Shen Zhihou... I know if Eunuch Liu will be angry to death?"

Qian Ning wanted to take this matter to discuss with Liu Jin first, but Zhu Houzhao gave another order on the way. He knew that Zhu Houzhao was extremely determined. If he disobeyed the emperor on this issue, he decided to send the money to the Shen family first and discuss with Liu Jin again.

...

...

But it was said that two thousand taels of silver were carried to the Shen family's mansion by the Jinyiwei, and the Shen family didn't know what had happened.

After Xie Yuner received the communication from the front yard, she quickly brought Zhu Shan and others out. The woman was not suitable for her to come out to meet the guests. Fortunately, Zhu Qi and others were taking care of her in front.

Although Zhu Qi was born into a bandit, he was good at communicating with others. Before Xie Yun'er came out, the people from the Jinyiwei had already left.

When Zhu Qi saw Xie Yun'er, he asked someone to carry the silver into the yard and bowed and reported: "Madam, someone from the palace said that the money was rewarded by the emperor, totaling 2,000 taels of silver. Do you want to count it?"

Xie Yuner frowned when she heard this: "Why did Your Majesty reward our Shen family for no reason? There was no news about this before, and there was no imperial order. She brought the silver casually. Could it be that the master had something happened to the northwest?"

Zhu Houzhao acts casually. He doesn't consider whether it's suitable for anyone to reward money. He does what he wants to do when he has money and is unreasonable at all.

He was rewarded happily, but the people who received the reward here wondered in their hearts that no one knew whether the silver had any other meaning in it.

Zhu Qi said: "Madam, I haven't heard of anything happening in the northwest before. I'm afraid you're too worried?"

Xie Yuner nodded and said, "I really haven't heard of war in the border area. The master shouldn't have anything to happen. Please carry the money in first... The master is not at home, and I don't know how to write this memorial of thanking memorial. I will write a letter from the family and send it to the northwest, so I will ask the master to submit a memorial to thank and reward."

Now Xie Yun'er is used to everything in front of her. Although Zhu Houzhao's sudden reward is for no reason, based on her understanding of Shen Xi and Zhu Houzhao, it is nothing for the students to give her some gifts.

But this gift is too expensive. Two thousand taels of silver is ten times more than Shen Xi's annual salary. Shen Xi's hard work is only about 200 taels a year. Zhu Houzhao is generous, and he gives two thousand taels a day.

Xie Yun'er asked someone to pack up the money when Zhou received the news.

The son was rewarded at a time, which was as large as two thousand taels. Although Zhou used to handle more money than this when he was doing business, she was still very moved by hearing that there was such a large sum of money in his family and hurried over to ask what was going on.

After Zhou arrived, Xie Yuner briefly explained the situation. Zhou grinned and said, "This emperor doesn't know what's wrong with it. He just gives the money. It's probably because he is a fool who has made great contributions in the northwest."

Xie Yuner couldn't help but worry. It would be fine if this mother-in-law didn't respect others. Now she seems to lack the due respect for the emperor. She even dared to say such a bastard, and didn't know if she would implicate her family in the future.

A childish voice behind him was yelling: "Sister-in-law, isn't two thousand taels of silver a lot?"

It's no one else, it's the little monster of the Shen family, Shen Xi's sister Shen Yier.

Zhou scolded: "Little girl movies, are you the only thing you can interrupt here? Go out with your brother!"

Shen Yier stuck out her tongue and pulled Shen Yun to the backyard. Xie Yuner watched the siblings out of the room, then turned around and said, "Are you worried about the letter from your hometown in Ninghua?"

Zhou smiled bitterly and said, "It's still my daughter-in-law who knows my mother. It's this... The house in the south is already in chaos. The main reason is that we don't do anything without us doing housework. The family has lost support and it's difficult to survive. So I wrote to my mother to ask for money. So the emperor just gave me a large sum of money. Why don't you take out some and send it back to my hometown in Ninghua?"

Xie Yuner said: "Mom, we always rely on our support in our hometown. It's not a solution. Didn't there be any local officials and gentry who sent the land to our family before? It should have a few dozen taels of income every year..."

Zhou said, "I know this, but our Shen family has a great business and so many tribesmen can support it with this little money? We should buy more land. I asked about the capital before. The land price in the capital is very low now, and many people are selling land. I don't know what's going on. Why don't we buy some back?"

Because Liu Jin had acquiring land around the capital as a royal village, the landowners in the capital were panicked.

In order to prevent their land from being occupied by Liu Jin, many landlords simply sold the land in advance. As more people sold, the price dropped.

Although Xie Yuner didn't know the direction of the court, she knew that it would be fine to buy the land when the price of land was reduced, so she persuaded her: "Mom, even if you want to buy land, it should be in Tingzhou Prefecture, not in the capital... This capital is at the foot of the emperor, and the land was originally expensive. If those powerful people invade our land, who can we reason with?"

Zhou looked dissatisfied: "Don't look at what Hanwa'er's position is now in the court. His official position has reached the top and he is the emperor's teacher. Who dares to openly invade our land? Since you don't agree, just ask for your mother. If there is any situation, come back to discuss with you."

Because he had done business and had done a lot of business at one time, Zhou felt that he had a chance to make a comeback.

She believed that she had unique vision in business, but she didn't know that the success of the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce had nothing to do with her before. Her judgment on some things lacked a long-term vision. To put it bluntly, she was a civilian who focused on immediate interests.

Although Xie Yuner felt that this matter was extremely inappropriate, under the influence of filial piety, she was not going to argue with Zhou. Anyway, Zhou didn't say that she had to buy land, so she didn't persuade her again.

Zhou said: "Shanwa'er was in a hurry to go to the northwest. He originally said that he wanted to send Xier and Xiaowen over, but now it seems not so convenient. His cousin... and Goro are also here, so he really doesn't know what to do. Why don't you write to him and ask him if he can take Goro and his cousin and cousin to the northwest? He is now in glory, but he must let his family enjoy his shade!"

Xie Yuner was a little embarrassed: "Mom, I told my husband about this before. What he meant was that the family members were still good elsewhere, but it was too dangerous to go to the northwest. There was a war there. If there was something wrong with it, he was afraid that he would not be able to explain to the Shen family and the Zhou family."

"Go and go, what's that? He has fought so many battles and has never seen anything happen... Just like that, if you tell him, you will be heartbroken for his mother. He doesn't care about his cousin's affairs. This is his dereliction of duty. At home, his fifth brother and his cousin are all idle and have nothing to do, and people will gossip."

Zhou's words were filled with dissatisfaction, "You can take it when you go to Huguang. Oh, you can't take it now when you go to the northwest? It also makes people think that the family members are incompetent and have to stay in the capital to work unemployed."

"Let him find a job for his family. Even if he doesn't follow him, he can always do a job in the local government office. It is best to do an errand in Ninghua County, so that someone will take care of him."
