Three days later

The Mid-Autumn Festival is here. As a prefectural palace, I have to walk around with my family and friends.

"The prince, the slave servant gave a rough estimate. According to the status of our county palace, this festival will cost about four thousand taels of silver."

"So much?" Qin Nuo was startled, "Just after a festival, his salary for half a year will be gone."

"It's already the most frugal. This is because the prince has just opened his mansion now, and there are not many people who come and go. It only needs a few clan princes to walk around." Dongbo said honestly.

After leaving the palace, people's social circle gradually expands. In the future, the number of people who need to move around when concubines and concubines, to make friends, needs to be increased by at least five or six times.

Qin Nuo flipped through the gift list drawn up by Dongbo. I immediately realized that this would be a net expenditure.

As a royal family member, we must pay attention to a decent person. It is impossible to take it in with the left hand and send it out with the right hand like modern human relations. It is impossible to circulate those gold and silver gifts back and forth.

If the jade ornaments that the Prince Wang gave to Li Guogong appeared on Song Guogong's mansion a month later, it can only show two things. Either Li Guogong looked down on Wanghouye, or Li Guogong's family had been ruined. , I can’t bring out any other decent things, no matter which kind, it will be a laughing stock in the social circles of the capital, which will greatly harm the reputation of Li Guogong.

This phenomenon is caused by this era or the era of handicraft industry. Both antique toys and gold and jade utensils are unique. Even common objects such as gold bowls and silver chopsticks cast by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in batches must be in A special mark is printed underneath, listing the date and serial number of the show. Unlike later generations, the same merchandise will go around and be the same.

Just one Mid-Autumn Festival will have so many, and in a few months, there will be a more grand New Year. This is still under the premise that any festival etiquette must be simplified during the national funeral. When there is a funeral next year, won't the expenses have to be doubled? According to the etiquette of the Great Zhou, the period of filial piety is nominally three years, but after the New Year's Day, the daily banquets can be resumed, and the marriage of ordinary people is not prohibited.

No wonder Qin Xun is clamoring to make money. It is really difficult to make money only from the salary and the little money from Zhuangzi.

It's just that the nausea of ​​gambling can never be contaminated.

After pondering for a moment, Qin Nuo asked, "Dongbo, have you heard of other royal palaces and how do they make money?"

Dongbo's face showed a sense of relief. My prince has improved his brain a lot since he suffered a serious illness six months ago, but his gentle and kind character is still there.

"As far as slaves and maidservants know, most of the princes’ homes have shops and farms, some of them are involved in sea trade, they have several caravans, and some have big business in northern Xinjiang. Like Dongjun Wang’s Mansion, it has many businesses. The silk and satin shop buys from Nanyang every year..."

Sure enough, everyone has a way to get rich.

Handing the ledger back to Dongbo, Qin Nuo said: "Let me think about it. I have to make some money."

"The prince is wise, in fact, there is no need to be impatient. I have just opened the mansion, and I will save some silver in the future, and slowly buy manor shops. Money can generate money, and naturally I will gradually become rich." Dong Bo took the account book, warmly Persuade.

This is trying to persuade myself not to spend money in disguise. It's really not something ordinary people can do for six hundred taels to buy a badly wounded person who is of no use. Qin Nuo knew it well and said with a smile, "I know, it won't be anymore." He doesn't have a special hobby, he just wants a cheap master.

The big plan for making a fortune can be discussed slowly, and now Qin Nuo still has a top priority to be busy.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is an important festival of the Great Zhou Dynasty. According to tradition, the clan and officials are to enter the palace to meet and give a banquet. This year because of the national funeral, the scale of the banquet has been greatly reduced. Officials are only Grade 3 or above, and only princes, county princes and their elder sons enter the palace to participate in the banquet. Qin Nuo happened to be in the palace.

So after leaving the palace for half a month, Qin Nuo once again returned to the center of Da Zhou's power.

Enter the palace by car, walk past Qinghe Gate, and get on and off in the square on the west side of the palace. Following the leading eunuchs through the corridors, the familiar pavilions are still familiar, but there is a sense of alienation in the eyes.

He was not the only one who felt this way. As soon as he walked into the Liuguang Palace, he heard Qin Xun's voice: "I haven't seen you for more than half a month, how come this palace has changed its appearance."

Qin Xun's chubby body sits on the seat near the east. Seeing Qin Nuo coming in, the first one greeted: "Nine brothers, among the brothers, you are the latest one."

Qin Nuo glanced over, the familiar location, familiar people, and all the princes were basically there, except for Qin Ze, who was guarding the imperial tomb, and Qin Jian was also missing.

I smiled casually: "Isn't the third brother here yet."

"The third brother came here early this morning, and he reported on official affairs at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, I'm afraid he will come later."

Qin Jian is not the same as the few of them who have taken the banquet and banquet. The title is a higher prince, and the position is also compiled by the Wenshiku.

It stands to reason that Qin Jian’s position is actually a leisurely first-class position. No one expects His Royal Highness to participate in the technical work of compiling books. He just waits for the completion of the compilation of literature and history and adds a signature to him. Why do you have to go back to the official business for so long?

Qin Xun showed a playful smile about Qin Nuo’s doubts, "Brother Brother, you are busy with everything."

There is a play! From Qin Xun's expression, I knew that Qin Jian was definitely in an accident, but this fat man didn't say what exactly happened, and he couldn't follow it up. After all, all the brothers were in the temple.

After a while, the princes and county princes from the clan family gradually arrived, and they greeted each other in the wide hall. Qin Xun, a socialist, was so busy that he was reminiscing with this one while chatting with that one.

Qin Nuo was much more leisurely, and he had never liked this kind of occasion, so he slipped out without any attention.

Withholding the imperial follower, he pretended to admire the scenery of the small garden of Qianyuan Palace and walked slowly alone.

Walking westward along the Qianyuan Hall, turning to a secluded corridor, Qin Nuo carefully looked around. Confirming that there is no one, he climbed the railing, jumped up, and jumped onto the crossbar at the corner.

In the corner of the beam, a small package is lying quietly there. Qin Nuo breathed a sigh of relief instantly. Last time I walked here pretending to be Concubine Ge Xian, he took off Concubine Ge's cloak and hairpin and hid it on the beam. Immediately after that, Emperor Jing Yao died, the national funeral was a major event, and Qianyuan Palace went in and out frequently. He didn't find time to come here to take his clothes until the king opened his mansion and left the palace.

Now, taking advantage of the opportunity to enter the palace, he quickly wiped out this crime. Putting the cloak into his arms, Qin Nuo jumped off the beam, and then headed north along Xiyue Lake, finally finding a hidden place.

He took off his shoes and socks, stepped barefoot into the water, lifted a large rock in the lake, and pressed the cloak to the bottom.

In another year or a half, even if this cloak is found, it will only be thought that Concubine Ge Xian accidentally fell off when she fell into the lake, and was involved in a crack in the stone.

Let go of a worry, Qin Nuo went back to the rocky crevice on the shore and put on his shoes and socks, thinking that it was still early to leave the feast anyway, should I go see Qin Zhi first? I don’t know how my sister is doing.

I haven't acted yet, suddenly I heard a crisp voice coming from behind, with anger: "His Royal Highness, please respect yourself!"

Qin Nuo was startled, and his hand in the shoes trembled suddenly.

"Is there any place that doesn't respect yourself? You can tell me!"

Isn't it Qin Jian that the familiar voice of Yin test sounded?

Qin Nuo stood up cautiously and looked in the direction of the sound source through the gap in the stone.

On the opposite side of the rockery is a maple forest, the land is in full swing, and a girl with a sagittarius appearance stands in the rich background. She wears a long yellow dress with glittering pearls and a satin shawl studded with white fox velvet on her shoulders. Although he is only fourteen or five years old, he already looks alluring. Was this the lady who came to the palace to come to the court?

Qin Jian, who was opposite her, dressed in a dark purple prince's court clothes, reflected the already dark face more and more gloomy and unpredictable.

Qin Nuo followed the footsteps of the attendants and entered the inner hall.

The current emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Jing Yaodi, is leaning on the head of the bed. He is about forty years old. He was once a beautiful man with suave, poetic and elegant style. It is a pity that he lost his energy prematurely. He has been lingering on the bed. , His skinny cheeks looked extremely old. Ever since he fell ill last month, he has become even more haggard.

A clear young man was kneeling in front of the bed, holding a medicine bowl and whispered: "Father, take another sip."

It is Qin Nuo's four emperor brothers, the current prince Qin Cong of Da Zhou. He was born by Emperor Jing Yao’s main palace empress. Although Emperor Jing Yao is very romantic, he is very different from his concubines. The prince valued him a lot and often asked about his schoolwork. The prince did not disappoint, and he was very well received among the ministers.

Jing Yaodi glanced at the prince, and said warmly: "Cong'er, you have been busy all day, and it's time to go to rest. Let your brothers tired first."

Qin Ze stepped forward with a wink and took the medicine bowl from Prince Qin Cong, "Fourth brother, let me come."

Behind Qin Nuo saw that there was nothing to hold, turning his gaze, he landed on the silver plate with candied fruit on the table. Hastily brought the plate of honey fruit over, and followed it up.

Under the admonition of his beloved son, Emperor Jing Yao finally appreciated his face and took a sip in front of the Yuzhan.

After that, he raised his hand weakly, and Qin Ze immediately backed away holding the decoction. Qin Nuo also stepped back aside.

A deep and hoarse voice sounded: "Cong'er, go down and rest. I have nothing more to do here."

The prince Qin Cong docilely comforted his father, and then got up with attachment, turned his head and repeatedly told his two younger brothers to serve Yunyun well.

Qin Nuo respectfully agreed. It's a scene of filial piety, brothers, friends and brothers.

Gongly sent away the prince brother, Qin Nuo breathed a sigh of relief, returned to the bed and started working all night.

Serving Emperor Jingyao must be more considerate and meticulous for the palace people who have been with him for many years. So the job of attending the sick is nothing more than urging the imperial doctor to boil the medicine, and try to see if the medicinal soup brought by the lady of the palace burns the mouth, and other trivial and meaningless tasks. The only irreplaceable thing may be to accompany the patient to talk about it.

And this work mainly falls on Qin Ze. After all, Qin Nuo is a dull and silent person in the palace. Every time at this time, Qin Nuo felt that it was good to partner with this kid.

Although Emperor Jing Yao is not in good spirits, he still forcibly cheered up and asked about Qin Ze’s current schoolwork.

Qin Ze replied one by one, and also talked about the funny things between the companions in the school, which made people laugh.

Jing Yaodi showed a rare smile on his face: "Lin Jia is a young talent, and I am relieved that he will be your strategy teacher."

Qin Nuo listened boredly behind him. If it weren't for Qin Ze's partner, he didn't know that Emperor Jing Yao was such a good father who cared about his son's study.

After talking for a while, Emperor Jing Yao couldn't support it, and finally fell asleep in a faint.

Qin Nuo and two of them stepped aside, and stood watching their noses and noses. Qin Nuo took the time to observe Emperor Jing Yao's face. Although he was not a doctor in his previous life, there was a grandfather who was an old Chinese medicine doctor.

In this situation, Emperor Jing Yao's expression deteriorated day by day. It was obvious that his foundation had been hollowed out. Relying on ginseng and deer antler to maintain its vitality, I don't know how long it can last.

When his old man is dead, he will live by looking at the face of the prince brother. It's just that I don't have a title yet. The princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty were all appointed kings after the big wedding and bestowed them with mansions.

This fourth brother of my own family has always been known for his kindness and kindness, so he should not be treated too badly for his honest brother. Even if he is not a prince, he can have the title of a county king anyway. Then you can go out and live in Kaifu.

Being able to have a small world of my own, think about it, I still have a little look forward to it.

Inheriting this body and basically inheriting the feelings of the original owner, Qin Nuo really didn't feel the slightest admiration for this father. Perhaps it is difficult for anyone to be grateful for a father who has been indifferent to you for more than ten years.

Seeing the emperor lay on the bed breathing evenly, he seemed to be asleep. The prince came forward with a wink, "The two princes have worked hard for most of the day, let's rest for a while."

Qin Nuo and the two came to sit down at the small table behind the screen next to the bedroom.

There were snacks, fruits, etc. on the table, Qin Nuo took a few candied fruit and stuffed it into his mouth.

Qin Ze glanced at him for fear of awakening the sleeping emperor. He didn't say anything, but the words contempt were written naked in his eyes.

If Qin Nuo ignored it, it would be boring to be idle anyway. The things delivered to Qianyuan Hall were of course not on the same level as his Taiwei Hall.

Sitting idle for most of an hour, the hall was silent. It seems that tonight's work has been unexpectedly relaxed, just standing there for a while.

Sitting for a long time, sleepiness gradually overflowed. Qin Nuo yawned and pushed the empty snack box in the direction of Qin Ze, ready to squint on the small table for a while.

Qin Ze looked at this pig-like brother who ate and fell asleep with contempt.

Qin Nuo just got down and was not asleep yet, an accident happened.

The emperor on the hospital bed suddenly twitched twice, as if he was about to wake up, making a series of dull noises.

The palace in the palace immediately leaned forward, but was shocked. The emperor's face suddenly turned pale, and his mouth made a loud noise, as if blocked by something.

Qin Nuo and the two rushed over. The four imperial doctors on duty at night also gathered around. One person cuts the pulse, one person administers the needle, and the other person beats the back, showing the first aid level of ancient medicine in all directions.

Squeezed outside by the crowd, Qin Nuo felt a chill in his heart. I'm afraid this situation is really bad. There was a bold imperial physician who beat the emperor's back hard, but couldn't cough up anything.

The eyes of several imperial doctors also became flustered. If it was just a simple phlegm obsessed with the heart orifice, this kind of first aid would have been effective, and now I still have difficulty breathing, I am afraid it is mostly a backlash!

The prince was panicked and leaned in front of the two like a headless fly: "Your Highness, this..."

"You foolish, don't hurry up and report to the Queen Empress and the Crown Prince!" Qin Ze scolded.
