Chapter 1071 Sisters (3)

The sky was as clear as a piece of blue paper, and the floating white clouds seemed to be melted by the sun, floating slowly with the wind.

Yuxi walked on the arch bridge made of white marble, and said with a smile: "The weather is really nice today."

Mei Lan said with a smile: "It's suitable for enjoying the scenery in the garden." Some flowers and plants in the imperial garden were trampled and damaged, but the overall layout was not damaged.

Yuxi smiled and said: "That's wrong, there are scenery everywhere in the garden." At the foot of the Hanbai stone arch bridge, there are water lilies under the bridge, strange stones of various shapes are placed in the pool, and green pines and cypresses are all around.

"Yes, everything in the garden is beautiful." Meilan sneaked around once in her busy schedule, and after she finished, she just said, "beautiful."

After walking for a while, I came to a pavilion by the lake. The lush trees against the red walls and golden glazed tiles make the pavilion look particularly imposing. Next to the pavilion is a mountain, which is made of fake stones and surrounded by trees.

Standing in the pavilion, Meilan looked at the clear lake in front of her and said regretfully, "How come there are no lotus in such a big lake?" If lotus were planted, the lake will be full of lotus in the summer, and it will be very beautiful.

Yuxi laughed and said: "Can't all the imperial gardens be planted with lotus?" There are a few pools planted with lotus, which look particularly vibrant, and this lake looks a bit lonely without anything planted. However, because of this, it appears that it is different.

The master and the servant talked for a while, and saw the mother leading the two people over.

Seeing Yu Rong's attire, Yu Xi couldn't help frowning.

Walking into the pavilion, Yurong pulled Brother Zheng to kneel on the bluestone slab, kowtowed and shouted: "The princess is a thousand years old."

Without saying anything fancy, Yu Xi said: "It's cold on the ground, get up quickly!" After finishing speaking, she walked over to help Brother Zheng.

Yizheng stood up and raised his head, just facing Yuxi. Seeing this, he was immediately stunned.

Today, Yuxi was wearing lotus-colored clothes, with a ponytail in her hair, no jewelry on her head, only a rose stuck obliquely on the left side. A man in his thirties has a bright red peony flower on his head, not only does not make people disobedient, but it is also indescribably beautiful.

After all, Brother Zheng is young and cannot hide his emotions well. Looking at it in a daze, Yuxi couldn't find it.

Yu Xi touched the rose on her head, and said with a smile: "Do you think my aunt doesn't look good wearing this flower?" Yun Qing pinched and inserted this flower on her head, saying it was very beautiful. Yu Xi took a look in the mirror and thought it was not bad, so she didn't take it off.

Yizheng hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, it's pretty." The point is not the flowers, it's that my aunt is older than his mother, but she looks so young.

Yu Rong said with a smile: "Fourth sister, you haven't changed at all, you are still as beautiful as you were twenty years ago."

Yuxi couldn't help laughing when she heard this, her laughter was hearty: "My Zaozao is nineteen years old this year, how can it be the same as it was twenty years ago!" However, Yurong has really changed. When she was young, when did Yurong give her soft words.

After finishing speaking, he asked Yu Rong to sit down with Brother Zheng. Jing Bai immediately stepped forward and poured tea for the two of them.

Yuxi heard that Yizheng's talents are good, so she asked some questions, all of which were from books.

Yizheng was stuttering at the beginning, but seeing Yuxi's kind face, he gradually relaxed. Later, the responses became more and more fluent.

This child is very knowledgeable, Yuxi nodded secretly. But instead, Yuxi asked another question: "It is rumored that the imperial court is going to ban the sale of land. How do you feel about it?"

Zheng Geer was stunned for a while, and then said: "Princess, prohibiting land trading is a temporary solution, not a permanent solution."

All the land in the previous dynasty was controlled by the bureaucratic gentry, and the common people had no land to grow and could only rent it, but they had to pay heavy rent. In addition, these people underreported the amount of land property, so that the court could not collect taxes. Yunqing believes that only by prohibiting the sale of land can the land be concentrated in the hands of bureaucrats and gentry, so that the court can collect more taxes.

Yuxi does not agree with Yunqing's proposal.

Laws are dead, but man is alive. As long as there is interest, these people have plenty of ways to exploit loopholes.

Yu Xi smiled, stood up and asked: "Tell me, why do you think that prohibiting land trading is a temporary solution instead of a root cause?"

"Because, because..." Yuxi was too serious like this, and Yizheng was too nervous to speak.

Seeing that Yizheng was too nervous to speak, Yurong was a little anxious, but just as she was about to speak, Meilan shook her head gently at her. Meilan is also doing it for the sake of brother Zheng. The concubine also likes this young master, otherwise she wouldn't have given him a test!

Yu Rongzong dared not speak up even if he wanted to speak for Yizheng.

Yuxi said: "If you want to become an official in the future, you can't keep your ears to the outside world and just read the books of sages. In the future, you still have to pay more attention to the affairs of the world." Only reading and not caring about outside things can easily become a nerd. In this way, how to be a good official.

Brother Zheng said with a face of shame: "Yes, Wangfei."

Yuxi smiled and said, "What kind of concubine is it called? Your mother and I are sisters."

Yu Rong said to Yu Xi with an apologetic face: "This child is very clever at home, but when he gets here, he will become a lump of elm, and he can't speak." After finishing speaking, Yu Rong gently pushed Yi Zheng and said: "Hurry up and call your aunt."

Yizheng lowered his head and said, "Auntie." That voice was louder than a mosquito.

Yuxi looked at Brother Zheng's nervousness, and said with a smile: "If I asked you this in the Jinluan Palace, and you stammered like this, what do you think will happen?"

Originally, Yuxi didn't want to say these things, but she was afraid that if she said too much, it would hurt the child's self-confidence, which would be bad. But Brother Zheng looks like this, so don't say no.

After a pause, Yuxi said: "It's impossible for this person to succeed overnight. You are still young, you just need to improve your deficiencies, don't underestimate yourself."

Brother Zheng's heart was shocked, and he turned to say in a deep voice: "Thank you for your teaching, Auntie."

Yuxi nodded slightly.

Si Bonian reported back from outside the pavilion: "Princess, the Third Highness and the Fourth Highness are here." Brother Rui still went to Qianwei Camp, while Brother Xuan and Brother Yu followed the master to study.

"Let them in!" Today was on vacation, Brother Xuan and Brother Yu had finished practicing calligraphy, and came over when they heard that Yuxi was watching the scenery in the Imperial Garden.

Yurong and Yizheng hurriedly stood up and saluted Brother Xuan and Brother You.

The two brothers were not used to it at first, but now they are used to it.

Yu Xi pointed at Yu Rong with a smile, and introduced: "This is your little aunt."

Brother Xuan and Brother Yu performed a junior salute, and then shouted in unison: "Hello, Auntie."

Yurong hurriedly took out the purses she had prepared, and each of them gave one to each of them: "They are all small things, I hope the Third and Fourth Highnesses don't dislike them."

Brother Yu is the best at saying: "Gifts are light and affectionate, no matter what my aunt gives me, I like it." Of course, he has to give face to the person his mother approves of.

Brother Xuan likes scholars the most, and he chatted with Brother Zheng after a while.

Seeing Brother Zheng's speech restrained, Yuxi said with a smile: "Go and play by yourself!" It is estimated that what happened just now still affected Brother Zheng.

Brother You is most familiar with Brother Xuan's temperament, so before he could open his mouth, he immediately said: "Cousin Zheng, our garden is very beautiful, do you want to go around?" Although he is not tired of reading, he is not like Xuan Brother is so addicted to it.

Zheng Geer followed kindness and said: "Okay."

After the children left, Yurong hesitated and said to Yuxi: "Fourth sister, I want to ask you one thing."

When Mei Lan and Jing Bai heard this, they couldn't help frowning. This person is too good at climbing poles!

"You say." As long as it is not too much, she will not refuse.

Yurong was also a little shy, but thinking about what happened just now, she gritted her teeth and said, "I always wanted Brother Zheng to find a good teacher, but unfortunately there is no way." This is to want Yuxi to help Brother Zheng find a good teacher. teacher.

Yuxi was a little surprised: "Brother Zheng didn't ask for a teacher?"

Yurong shook her head and said, "No. Fourth sister, I know that I'm a bit of a strongman, but I really have no one to turn to." Jiang Wenrui was a traitor back then, no matter how good the qualifications of the political brother are, no one would dare to be in power because of this relationship Brother's teacher. As for Mr. Xia, he only taught Zheng Geer, and did not accept Zheng Geer as a student.

"It's not so easy to find a good teacher." After a pause, Yuxi said: "If there is a suitable candidate, I will help to recommend it. As for whether they will accept Zheng Geer as a student, I dare not ensure."

Yu Rong was already very grateful for Yu Xi's words: "Thank you, Fourth Sister." Before she came, she didn't have this idea. But what Yuxi said later gave her a sense of crisis. If you want to know what's going on outside, you have to have a source of news! Mr. Xia and Mr. Gao are neither officials in the court, so it is difficult for them to know what is going on in the court. What's more, in the future, Zheng Ge'er will have a difficult time when he enters an official position without guidance!

"I'll send someone to tell you if there's any news." After speaking, looking at the clothes on Yu Rong, Yu Xi shook her head and said, "You're only old enough to wear clothes like this."

Today, Yurong is wearing a snow-blue dish-patterned beige, a brown skirt, a bun, a gold hairpin carved with carved agate, and a pair of earrings inlaid with dotted beads on her ears. These years, Yurong has no worries about food and clothing, and has nothing to worry about except that the situation is unstable. It's just that she doesn't look old. But wearing such clothes, she looks more than ten years older than Yuxi.

After hearing this, Yu Rong said with a smile: "I'm used to it." Widows and people dressed in fancy clothes are of no benefit except to be criticized by others.

Thinking of Yu Rong being a widow for more than ten years, Yu Xi said: "These years, you have suffered a lot."

She has no feelings for Jiang Hongjin. After Jiang Hongjin died, she felt much more at ease. Yurong didn't shy away from it, and said: "The most difficult thing was the period after my father-in-law passed away. At that time, I still had some money in my hand, and I was remembered after being found out. Fortunately, the third sister..." Jian Yu There was no strange expression on Xi's face, so Yurong continued: "Third Sister supports me, those people don't dare to think about me anymore."

Yuxi smiled and said: "Brother Zheng has grown up now, and you will enjoy the blessings when he gets married and has children." The most difficult time is when children are young. Now that Brother Zheng has grown up, no one dares to bully Yurong if he can support his family.

"It's not easy to find a marriage that suits your heart." She just said what was in her heart, and she didn't mean to trouble Yuxi.

Yuxi didn't think much about it, not to mention that Yurong didn't mean to ask her to say kiss, even if she had, she would refuse.

"You are all worried about this one, and I will have a headache after four years." Finally, the marriage between Zaozao and Liu'er has been resolved, and Qihao's marriage will have to be sorted out in two years.

Yurong smiled: "Master and the others are so outstanding, no girl in the capital wants to marry them." Excellence is second, and the most important thing is status. Not mentioning that the son is the future prince and future emperor, but only saying that if he can marry triplets, he will also be a proper super-rank princess in the future.

Lu Bai came over from the outside, bowed respectfully and said, "Princess, my lord, please go over."

Yu Rong hurriedly stood up and said, "Fourth Sister, go get busy!" She knew that Yu Xi was busy, and it was very rare to be able to talk with her for such a long time.

Yun Qing knew that she was entertaining guests and asked someone to call her, fearing that there was something urgent. Yuxi said: "You and Brother Zheng stay here for lunch!"

Yurong shook her head and said, "No, Fourth Sister, go get busy!" It's not because she's afraid of being disturbed, but because she doesn't dare to see Yunqing.

Seeing this, Yuxi didn't insist: "The scenery in the garden is very good, you can go around."

Brother Zheng was still admiring the scenery in the yard, so Yurong didn't refuse, but nodded and said, "Okay."

When he arrived at the imperial study room, Yuxi saw Tan Tuo, and said with a smile, "I thought you wouldn't be there until tomorrow?" When you're old, getting sick can cost half your life.

Tan Tuo said: "It has been delayed for more than ten days."

"Yuxi, just now I talked to Mr. Tan about the prohibition of land sales." As a result, Tan Tuo flatly refused.

Tan Tuo looked at Yuxi and said, "Princess, the idea is good, but this decree is difficult to implement." Many decrees of the imperial court are good, but at most they have become a dead letter.

Yun Qing was not happy, and said: "How do you know you can't do it before you do it?" The two started arguing about this matter, and Yun Qing was no match for Tan Tuo in terms of eloquence. In a hurry, Yunqing called Yuxi over.

Yuxi said with a smile: "Reform is not something that happens overnight. It's left in advance, and we can discuss it when the conditions are ripe."

Tan Tuo was a little anxious and said, "Princess..."

Before she finished speaking, Yuxi waved her hand and said, "Jiangxi and Anhui have been raining for half a month. If it rains again, I'm afraid there will be floods." In the past two years, there have been constant famines, droughts, floods, and earthquakes. , the battle is still ahead. As a high-ranking person, it is also very frustrating to encounter such a thing.

These words successfully diverted the attention of Tan Tuo and Yun Qing, and the two stopped arguing about the land.

Yurong found Brother Zheng, and the mother and son went back.

Brother Xuan looked at the backs of the mother and son, and said in surprise: "Brother, why are people from the Jiang family so good at reading?" Jiang Yijun is a rare talent, this Jiang Yizheng can read well Also very powerful.

Brother You rolled his eyes: "How many Jiang family members have you met? Maybe they are the two of the Jiang family who are the best at studying!" It was only after chatting with him just now that he realized that this political cousin turned out to be Jiang Yijun's cousin. However, Jiang Yijun's cousin is fake, but Jiang Yizheng's cousin is the real deal.

Brother Xuan smiled and stopped talking.
