There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

I saw that the baby in swaddling clothes was fine, except for the top of his head... there were only a few lanugo hairs.

He remembered that when the noble concubine's son was born, the lanugo hair was more than an inch long, black and shiny, and his eyes opened early, and the big eyes were like agate grapes that were tributed.

And this child has not yet opened his eyes, the fleshy one should be a cute baby, but because of that... it looks a little weird.

"Your Majesty, Sister Ji is suffering." Wan Zhen'er was afraid that Emperor Xianzong would not like the child, so she blamed all the faults on Concubine Bai Xian. Anyway, she is now like a useless person, and she is not afraid of adding more guilt.

The emperor kept her, one is for the sake of the deceased crown prince, and the other reason is to let her live, what is death?To live is to suffer.

I heard that Concubine Baixian was crying day and night in the Changchun Palace, especially when someone told him that the things provided in the palace are the best, which are of great benefit to the child's health, just look at the princess and prince of Zhaode Palace, Because for so many years, apart from being ill once conspired by Concubine Bai Xian, the three children have never been in poor health.

And how can the things donated by Concubine Bai Xian's family be compared with those of the royal family?

From then on, when Bai Xiang'er thought of it, she cried and cried.

But no one pity her, poor people must have something to hate.

If it wasn't for her, the emperor wouldn't have so few heirs that only one or two sons survived; if it wasn't for her, countless pregnant women in the harem wouldn't have had miscarriages.

"Bai Xiang'er!" Emperor Xianzong was already ruthless to her, but he couldn't be indifferent to his son. For his son's sake, he could tolerate her for a while, and Emperor Xianzong didn't tell anyone that the deceased The prince, when he was still the eldest son of the emperor, was diagnosed by a skilled old imperial doctor, and the child would not live to be an adult.

He made him the crown prince, one was because he needed such a crown prince, and the other was because he thought that if a child could not live to adulthood, he would not be able to have an heir, and the one who would be adopted in the future would be an heir after all.

But what if he was the crown prince?

You can enjoy the royal incense offering for ten thousand years, so that no one will remember him.

This is the fatherly heart of an emperor.

What Wantong gave him, he also used on the child, but he found that it could only make the child healthy for a while, but it could not recover.

Coupled with the chaos in the court at that time, he believed that Bai Xiang'er would take good care of him, at least until the child was an adult, the child was alive...

Bai Xianger let him down so much!

"So, Your Majesty, don't blame Ji, she is also suffering very much." Wan Zhen'er persuaded softly, "Don't think the child is bad, at least she is a leader. He is your son, the prince of Daming."

As Wan Zhen'er who climbed up from the lowest court lady, she has seen too much filth in the palace: "How many people treated each other harshly in the emperor's situation back then? Does the emperor want children to suffer at such a young age?"

Back then, many people bullied Emperor Xianzong, the former crown prince who had passed away.

Emperor Xianzong immediately remembered that year, when the wind and rain were turbulent at that time, and his uncle was so prepared for him, even if the crown prince had been abolished, he still prayed for the king.

But the parents were not around, if it wasn't for the protection of the emperor's grandmother and aunt, and the company of Zhen'er, it is hard to say whether he would be alive.

Thinking about it this way, I immediately felt pity for this son, and I also understood Wan Zhen'er's thoughts: "Zhen'er is for me, for the good of the child, I know.

Wan Zhen'er smiled, coaxing the baby gently.

The newborn baby can't help himself in defecation or defecation except eating and sleeping.

While the imperial concubine was changing the baby's diaper, Emperor Xianzong called eunuch Huai En over and ordered him to reward Yong'an Palace and Baihua Pavilion with three times the monthly money.

They also sent people to announce the good news to the Empress Dowager of Qingning Palace and the Queen of Kunning Palace.

Concubine Wan Gui didn't let anyone announce the happy news at that time, and the two of them didn't say anything, but they were still worried, fearing that there was something wrong with the child.

Sure enough, the empress dowager summoned the midwife to go over. The empress was by her side at the time, and they all knew about the abnormal situation on the newborn dragon's head.

Both of them were speechless, they didn't know what the emperor's attitude was until Concubine Wan Gui sent someone to say that she would persuade the emperor and wait for her news.

In the end, someone from the emperor came to announce the good news, and the two of them knew that Concubine Wan Gui persuaded the emperor well.

They all breathed a sigh of relief, and then rewarded the Ji family.

What the empress dowager rewarded were all kinds of supplements and cloth.

The queen mentioned Ji's share to the concubine's expenses.

After all, there are only two princes in the palace, and the eldest son's mother, Wan Shi, is already a noble concubine. In order to improve the status of the newborn prince, his mother will have to be a concubine for the last time in the future.

The queen just gave the Ji family and the newborn little prince face in advance, but she did it very decently, because it also reminded Emperor Xianzong that it was time to give the Ji family an identity.

The news that the emperor had another prince, flew out of the palace wall as if he had grown wings, his ears were long enough, and everyone knew it the next day.

However, the palace kept this secret, no one said anything about the little prince, but respected the Ji family a lot.

When Ji Yanran woke up, what she saw was Emperor Xianzong guarding her bedside. At that time, there was no joy in her heart, only shock!

"Your majesty?" Ji Yanran was dumbfounded.

"It's good to wake up, you slept for a day, the concubine said you were tired, and I will call the imperial doctor to take your pulse." Emperor Xianzong smiled: "I gave birth, I am a prince, thank you for your hard work. "

Ji Yanran blinked her eyes: "Where is the concubine sister? "

"I'm watching the child next door. She is afraid that the child will not like to drink the milk of the nanny, so she keeps staring at it, saying that she can rest assured after drinking it a few times." Emperor Xianzong said: "The child is also very good."

"Thanks to the concubine's sister for taking care of me, this servant is very grateful." Ji Yanran said sincerely, "This servant has no experience, and the concubine's sister has been with this servant until the little prince is born."

"Well, Zhen'er is the best." Emperor Xianzong liked to be told that Wan Zhen'er was good.

Zhen'er is good, no one knows better than him.

Ji Yanran smiled, she knew that as long as she listened to the concubine's sister in everything, it was better than anything else.

"Take good care of your body. When you are out of confinement, you must take care of the little prince. When he is over one year old, I will give you a title. Don't think too much about it." Emperor Xianzong thought and thought, but did not tell Ji. Shi said about the little prince's hair.

He also wanted to see what attitude the Ji family had towards the prince.

After seeing Bai Xiang'er, he already dared not make any conclusions about the women in the harem.

Now he only has two sons. If Ji is a good one, then it is only natural for the little prince to support her. If not...he would rather find a foster mother for his son.

The emperor was happy to have a dragon son, and apart from the congratulations, there was another turmoil gradually taking shape.

Shanghai County, which is thousands of miles away, has a different scene.

After defeating the pirates, Shanghai County became famous in the first battle. When the pirates and Japanese pirates were gone, more people came to Shanghai County in vain.

Whether looking for a job or settling in Shanghai County, it has become a hot topic in the coastal areas.

But Wu Youwei, as the county magistrate of Shanghai County, is so stingy with his jurisdiction!

"Want to settle down? Do you have the capital to settle in Shanghai County?" Wu Youwei faced many people's "settlement applications", and put forward quite harsh conditions: "To become a person in Shanghai County, you must meet several conditions. One or both."

These conditions are:

Must have enough family wealth, and open a shop in Shanghai County to do business;

Or he is a great Confucian, famous scholar, and opened an academy in Shanghai County to accept students;

Or, it is a craftsman with ancestral craftsmanship. No matter what kind of craftsman it is, Shanghai County welcomes it.

All in all, one must have a fortune, and one who does not have a fortune must have knowledge.

If you don't have these two, you have to have craftsmanship, good craftsmanship.

"Don't come to Shanghai if you're just waiting to die." Wu Youwei slapped the table and said, "This county doesn't support idlers.

"What if he is a farmer?" Wantong asked him, "You don't welcome him?"

"Farming is also a specialty!" Wu Youwei eloquently said: "Knowing how to farm and take good care of crops is a specialty. Shanghai County has a lot of paddy and dry fields, and they can also reclaim wasteland, as long as they can farm well.

Wantong turned around and let people publicize it.

For this reason, Wu Youwei set up a "Household Registration and Immigration Management Office". People who came to settle in Shanghai County had to go there. .

"Why use Jinyiwei people?" Wantong was puzzled. Shouldn't his students be used for this kind of work?

"The people in Jinyiwei are amazing." Wu Youwei said, "It's fine to let Cui Tieniu and the others be helpers, but the main thing is to rely on Jinyiwei's brand name.

He made people wear Jinyiwei's clothes and sat in the lobby. The first reaction of anyone who came in was...the legs were weak.

Then ask what to say.

Who dares to deceive Jin Yiwei?

And Jin Yiwei's eyes are so poisonous?

A few people said they were here for business, and Jin Yiwei opened his mouth: "What business?"

"Naturally, it's a profitable business." There was a glib kid who smiled and said, "This is a small amount of money, and I invite you to drink and tea."

"En." Jin Yiwei accepted it generously.

The eyeballs of the person in charge of the registration were about to pop out, because civil servants in Shanghai County were not allowed to accept bribes.

This is what Wu Youwei invented with reference to the past.

But this person is not a civil servant in Shanghai County, and he is not under the care of Wu Youwei. He is Jin Yiwei, and he is under the care of Beizhen Fusi.

The boy smiled, and said arrogantly to the person in charge of the registration: "Why don't you register it for the young master?"

The hands of the man in charge of registration trembled.

"Wait a minute." Jin Yiwei said lazily, "You haven't said yet, what kind of business do you do?"

The boy was stunned for a moment: "...it's business.

"I know it's a business, what kind of business is it?" Jin Yiwei asked the bottom line, ignoring the benefits he just received.

That child's house."

The chemical industry said coldly: "It must be some kind of business. Let's talk about it. It's definitely a bet, but it's definitely a good deal!"

Because Wu Youwei built a post station on the official road entering Shanghai County, and the entrance of the post station was designed with a notice wall just like the entrance of the county government.

There are many taboos in Shanghai County clearly written on it.

One of the points is that gambling houses, brothels and Chu houses are not allowed to appear in Shanghai County.

It is even more forbidden for the common people to live a good life, because the rich and noble families sell their children and make their daughters concubines or something, because the concubines are in business, which is tantamount to selling their daughters to others instead of marrying them. past.

Although this rule is too strange for the people of Ming Dynasty, Wu Youwei didn't care about that, it was decided like this, who has any objection?

There is no way, you can reserve your opinion.

The glib boy had no choice but to murmur: "It's a gambling house, and the small one is the steward sent by the head of the Lian Sheng gambling house to buy shops and land.

"Go away, go back and tell him that Shanghai County does not open gambling houses, let him find another place." Jin Yiwei said: "Also tell him the people on the road, Jin Yiwei doesn't rub sand in his eyes."

Want to play tricks under Jin Yiwei's nose, do you want to die?

Knowing clearly, the rules of Shanghai County, but still want to infiltrate, when Jin Yiwei is a display?

The glib boy kowtowed in fright and begged for mercy, was scolded by Jin Yiwei, and ran away scrambling.

There is also a woman, 40 to 150 years old, very well-dressed, she will settle down when she arrives, she is said to be a rich family, and she is also in business, with [-] families settled down, and she will buy four large yards to house the family members, and a three-story building. Street shops on the first floor.

For the bank note transaction, she still brought her household registration, she came from Songjiang Mansion, her surname was Lin, and the maid who came with her called her "Madam".
