Chapter 446 Happy New Year

The three-year New Year of Zhengde came in the blink of an eye. In the past year, the Ming Dynasty experienced hardships. The chaos of Liu Liu and Liu seven affected dozens of state capitals, affecting millions of people and causing huge losses. After this chaos, the vitality of the Ming Dynasty was greatly damaged. In this case, many excited hearts were stirred up in the court and mountains. , because they saw some kind of hope and opportunity.

It's incredible that two ordinary people could set off a huge wave in a few months and almost overturned the big ship of the imperial court, but the facts are in front of us. Although everything in the past has passed, the pain left is indelible.

For Song Nan, the chaos of Liu Liu and Liu Qi gave him a stage to perform to his heart's content, thus successfully reaching out to the military. The establishment of the Shenshu camp heralds the rise of the new Xunqi represented by Song Nan, which will inevitably lead to a power entanglement with the veteran nobles who have grasped the military power of the Beijing camp for a long time. Song Nan has been psychologically prepared for a long time.

On the surface, the strength of the inner court has been weakened. Gu Dayong was assigned to Nanjing, the imperial horse prison fell into Zhang Yong's hands, and the 3,000 battalions of the imperial horse prison has also been lost. The only real manpower held by the inner court is the East Factory. However, it would be a big mistake to underestimate Liu Jin's influence.

In fact, Liu Jin quickly stabilized his position. A few days after the court meeting on meritorious deeds that day, Liu Jin showed his means. Only three days apart, three court officials fell under Liu Jin one after another. Zheng Qi, a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Wei Qiquan, a member of the Ministry of Ceremonies, and Sun Wanpo, a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs, were inexplicably impeached by Jiao Fang and Gu Zuo, a cabinet university scholar, for seeking promotion to disrupt the administration of officials, while Liu Jin showed the storage record of the internal carrier. This is Liu Jin's refusal to accept the gift of three people and harden the three people. Evidence that gifts such as the silver two-field deed have been filled into the state treasury.

Everything was flawless, and Zhengde was furious. When the temple ordered the three people to be dismissed and greatly appreciated Liu Jin's actions; but the courtiers knew that this was Liu Jin showing his strength, as if telling the courtiers that he still had the ability to turn his hands upside down. The wall grass of these three officials is well known. Obviously, Liu Jin is warning others by killing chickens and monkeys.

This move was almost immediately. After Song Nan captured the Admiral of Shenshu Camp, some of the courtiers who tried their best to have a relationship with Song Nan immediately sensed the danger. Soon, the Song Mansion in the city returned to its original state. Compared with future worries, the current danger is obviously more urgent.

Song Nan smiled and said nothing about this. Of course, Song Nan knew Liu Jin's anger. What he did was not only a warning to other courtiers, but also showing his strength to himself and Yang Tinghe and others in the cabinet. Although this move can make the grasses on the wall be stunned, but Song Nan thinks that Liu Jin's move is very stinky, and he is obviously confused.

In the game between Song Nan and Liu Jin, the role played by these wall grasses is actually very limited, and the negative effect brought by this move is that many officials who wanted to make friends with Liu Jin by bribes and gifts will be deterred from this, and they will certainly have an extra long-term mind in the process of communicating with Liu Jin. God knows when, when to make friends Will some words and gifts become nooses around the neck?

More than ten days ago, Song Nan had been busy with the rectification and handover of the Shenshu camp and the construction of the station, and did not focus too much on the court. The court also seemed to quickly regain calm. However, under this calm appearance, the undercurrent surged and was extremely dangerous. With Song Nan's understanding of Liu Jin, the quiet days will not last long, and soon there will be a huge outbreak. Song Nan opened her eyes and watched all this closely.

The first day of the Chinese New Year, a new day in the new year. For the vast majority of people in the Ming Dynasty, they just want to simply enjoy the festival today, forget the harm and pain brought to them by the chaotic year in the past, and look forward to a safe and peaceful new year.

There was also a lot of joy in the capital. The firecrackers sounded overnight. Early in the morning, the people got up early in new clothes, ate breakfast to pay New Year's greetings, visited temple fairs, and enjoyed the annual festive days.

The lanterns in Songfu also got a new look, and the people of the Song family also got up early. According to the usual practice, after offering incense to their ancestors before breakfast, Song Nan and Song Nan stood on the steps of the outer house with the little princess Ye Fanggu, Lu Qingli, Dai Suer and other Song's wives and concubines to send red envelopes. More than 60 servants in Song Mansion came to collect red envelopes and heavy When Dian's red envelope arrives, it is naturally a happy scene.

Song's mother Leshi, and the Song family had a series of happy events last year. Song Nan sealed the second-class marquis and got the position of admiral of the Beijing camp. All this was blamed by Song's mother for the result of her usual worshiping Buddha and treating people with kindness and kindness. Therefore, this year's red envelope rose from two taels of silver last year to five taels. Five taels of red envelopes, more than 60 people, Song's mother's red envelopes are 300 taels.

That's all right. The little princess Ye Fanggu Lu Qingli Dai Suer and others also want to send red envelopes to the maids and maids in their room. Even Uncle Zhong has to send red envelopes to the little men and grooms of the house as half the owner of Song Mansion. The specifications of the red envelopes are also much higher than last year.

Song Nan's face was **, and each red envelope was hurt. The hand that sent the red envelope was pinched more and more tightly. A little man's strength was slightly weak and he could not take away the red envelope with one hand, so he pulled it from his hand desperately with his hands, making the two seemed to be fighting against each other.

Aunt Ye Fang saw that it was really funny and turned her head and ordered, "Take the young master to the hall to rest. The young master only slept for two hours last night, and he was a little confused."

Wan'er hurried forward and walked to the hall. Song Nan simply turned back to the flower hall and sat and sighed. After the red envelopes were distributed, Song Nan finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the returned Song family's women and said, "I'm afraid our rules will be changed. Whose servants can get so many red envelopes every year? Aren't we too generous?

Song's mother scolded andly, "Now that we are a big family in Beijing, how can we treat our family badly? Our Song family is today, and we rely on everyone's help. Most of the people in the house are fellow villagers in Weizhou. You treat them as human beings, but I didn't treat them as human beings. Do you remember what happened at the small stone bridge in Weizhou? At that time, if it hadn't been for everyone's help, we wouldn't have known what to do. You can't forget this.

Song Nan smiled bitterly and said, "What my mother said is that the expenses in the house are too large, and the shop is not very profitable. I mean it's better to be thrifty, and there is nothing else. Uncle Zhong said that there was a lot of deficit in the account.

Song's mother stretched out her hand to twist Song Nan's face and said, "How did my son become so stingy? Do you know that the house is expensive? I heard that you made a firearm. As soon as you take action, you will get thousands of taels of silver, and then put it in the back garden to get caught in the rain and eat the wind. Why haven't you ever seen any pain? It hurts you to give more money to the villagers.

Lu Qingli blushed and said nothing. She spent a lot of money to toss the firearm. Today, Song's mother actually said it to herself. Song Nan turned her head to avoid Song's mother's claws. Recently, Song's mother has become more and more fond of pinching her face. It doesn't matter if no one is with her. How can Song Nan succeed in front of her daughters-in-law? She is also a marquis.

"If you don't have money, you can make money. This is your man's business. The old man and your daughters-in-law are responsible for spending money. Is it possible for me to set up a stall to do business? Open source and reduce throttling, but it's not possible to save throttling. Open source, my son.

Song Nan secretly sighed that her mother had changed a lot compared with that in Weizhou. Not only did she change a lot in her image, but she also became lively and cheerful in her personality, no longer the image of a tolerant woman before. As the saying goes, the change of environment and status to a person is really like a giant hand, which can't be simpler than simple.

It's just that the mother's argument doesn't seem to be correct. No wonder most of the embezzlers and tigers in later generations were cheated by their wives and mothers when they were arrested. It turned out that all this was forced. The expenses of the officials and wives rose so much that people had to reach out.

"My mother taught me a lesson that this year I will be angry and make a lot of money back." Song Nan nodded.

"If you don't make money, you can't commit adultery." Song's mother crossed her waist and taught her.

Song Nan scratched her scalp and said, "Oh, mother, this is difficult to force people."

Song's mother said euhorsily: "Your father often says that a gentleman loves to get money. If you are a corrupt official, don't blame your mother for not letting you enter the door. Daughter-in-law, listen carefully. Your husband is not allowed to commit adultery. I keep an eye on my mother. Don't think that he is now a marquis, so his tail is up to the sky; he is the emperor, my son, or your husband.

Song Nan was shocked, quickly jumped up to cover her mouth, and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense, mother, if it spreads, it's all over."

Song's mother knew that she had made a mistake and waved her hand and said, "That's all. I have to go to the temple to burn incense. Xiang'er, prepare incense baskets, carriages and horses."

A maid promised to go out to prepare, and the women hurriedly said, "My mother-in-law will go after breakfast."

Song's mother waved her hand and said, "I rushed to make a wish. I made a wish in front of the Bodhisattva to bless my Song family. My son became an official and became a peer. Look, the Bodhisattva has all fulfilled my wish. I have to hurry to fulfill my wish so that the Bodhisattva will not be unhappy. By the way, Su'er will go with me and beg the Bodhisattva to give me a man to the Song family this year."

Dai Suer agreed with a blushing face and went with Song's mother surrounded by a large group of servants and maidservants.

Everyone in the hall looked at each other in contempt. After a long time, the little princess couldn't help saying, "My mother-in-law is biased."

Song Nan smiled and said, "Can't you understand the old man's thoughts? Don't care."

The little princess said, "No, it's all your fault, it's all your fault."

Song Nan was stunned and said, "Why do you blame me again? It's none of my business."

The little princess said, "Why didn't I be happy? Who don't you blame?"

Song Nan said, "Wrong, I won't go to your room one night? It's about to be squeezed and dried. Why don't you work hard?

There was silence in the hall. Ye Fanggu, Lu Qingli and the maidservant standing beside her, bowed their heads and smiled secretly. The young master and the young lady were really a pair of living treasures. They also openly said these things in public and said so openly.

Song Nan blushed and hurriedly said, "Cough... Why can't you still cook? My stomach is cooing. Come on, hurry up and serve the food.

The maids acted quickly. In a short time, Song Nan buried her head and chewed it.
