In Fengtian Hall, Emperor Hongzhi began to work diligently after breakfast. Today, three people in the cabinet were resting, so there were no ministers in the hall.

Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan Province received relief silver from Taicang, and the disaster situation has been greatly alleviated. In September, once the Yellow River flood season is over, you can safely spend the disaster year.

After reviewing the memorial at hand, Emperor Hongzhi remembered Prince Zhu Houzhao.

What's wrong with me? I haven't seen him come to make me angry for two days, but I can't even worry about it. It feels like someone who has been greeting for more than ten years. I suddenly stopped coming to say hello today.

Could it be that this child has made me behave well?

It’s better to be well-behaved. I and the queen can live for a few more years. With a glimmer of hope, he said to Xiao Jing: “Huzhao has been studying these days?”

Xiao Jing said as if he was pleased: "It's strange to say that the prince and Yan Jingshi have been in the school until the Xu hour, and they seem to have made a lot of progress."

"Nothing!"

Xiao Jing was so scared that his heart trembled. It was a good thing for the prince to read books until late at night, so why did he make a mess...

"The prince's temperament is a great blessing to be able to concentrate on reading books for an hour. How could he see it late at night since early? Why didn't he report it earlier!" Emperor Hongzhi felt strange the more he thought about it.

Last time I was troubled by the Jia Mansion, I used an official from the Censorate to calm down the people. This time, I would not be appointed as an official again.

Emperor Hongzhi thought of something and changed his color: "Yan Kesong deserves the value?"

"It hasn't happened yet, and the companions from the East Palace have not come to report to me." There are Xiao Jing's descendants in the East Palace, just in case the emperor asks about it at any time.

Emperor Hongzhi immediately set up a journey to the East Palace, worried about Yan Kesong. The prince once threatened to take revenge on Yan Kesong. But when he arrived at the East Palace, he saw Prince Zhu Houzhao reading at night on the candle.

Xiao Jing was about to say a few words to the prince, but saw Emperor Hongzhi sternly saying: "Zhu Houzhao!"

The sudden roar scared Zhu Houzhao. Emperor Hongzhi looked at each other like an angry tiger, cruel and terrible. He felt wronged and did not dare to say anything.

Emperor Hongzhi was also afraid that he would cause trouble. The naughty prince studied until late at night, and he thought about it and felt something was wrong.

This stranger must have received the news and knew that he was coming, so he pretended to be studying. This is not the first time.

I don’t know what tricks to use, so I left Editor Yan in the East Palace to make things difficult.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Yan Kesong: "Yan Aiqing, if this rebellious son is coerced by you and you are inconvenient to say, just nod your head and I will know."

Zhu Houzhao said pitifully: "Father..."

"shut up!"

Zhu Houzhao swallowed back "I am your son". People who usually don't do human affairs do something today, but no one believes it.

Yan Kesong bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness did not coerce the weak ministers, the prince is indeed studying."

Emperor Hongzhi was as stupid as a rooster. After a long time, he gradually showed a happy smile. This was all because of Yan Kesong. Emperor Hongzhi thought of Yan Chengjin. Yes, if he could teach such a well-behaved son, he would definitely have a way to teach the prince.

……………………………………………………………………

As the autumn examination passed, the weather became cooler and cooler. The yellow leaves in the courtyard were swept away by the autumn wind, leaving only empty branches, and the feeling of cold gradually became more and more in the wind.

Early in the morning, Chunxiao turned out all the clothes and cotton jackets pressed against the bottom of the box. These were the clothes worn by his ex-boy, Yan Chengjin.

The storage effect of willow wood cabinets is extremely poor. They are placed in the corners of the house all year round, and are wet and seeped. At this time, it emits an indescribable smell of mold.

I don’t know how many bacteria were infected. Now that I have money, Yan Chengjin naturally refused to wear these clothes that are at risk of getting infected.

Autumn is coming, and winter is not far away.

It will take more than ten days for a good tailor to make a good fur coat. At this time, make new clothes and you can wear them when the weather is getting colder.

Look at the beginning of autumn, Chunxiao and Qianjin are still wearing the clothes of the servants of Yan's mansion. They are quite cool. I guess they have no clothes to spend the winter. How could they be so thick-skinned and thick? The two sisters must have a cold. If they catch a cold, they will catch a cold and the cold will spread...

Including the chef and the men, there are more than a dozen servants in the Yan Mansion.

"Call the house manager."

After a while, the house manager came in a hurry: "Young Master is asking me for something?"

Yan Chengjin: "According to five taels of silver per person, several winter clothes will be made for each servant in the mansion."

A servant only earns about five taels of money a year, how many clothes can he make for five taels of silver? The house manager is anxious, and having money is not the same way.

It would cost nearly a hundred taels of silver at once. The money was written by the master day and night.

The house manager said: "Young Master, the servants in the mansion will be over after they are finished. Why not customize two fur clothes for you and the master?"

"As the manager of the Yan Mansion, you have forgotten the fifth rule of the Yan Mansion."

"I haven't forgotten you, the young master won't ask much about it." said the house manager.

"I need to explain it to you clearly?" Yan Chengjin picked up the wolfberry tea and took a sip of it angrily.

The house manager served in Yan's mansion for many years, so he naturally had clothes to spend the winter, so those servants might not have. In the past, Yan's mansion had barely solved the problem of food and clothing, and the wages paid to the servants were extremely low.

More importantly, cold weather can easily cause diseases. In this dynasty without antibiotics, wind and cold will also take away life. If the servants of Yan's mansion accidentally catch a cold, they will definitely be transmitted to themselves.

Even wealthy families often die of cold and other diseases in winter. The ancients had become accustomed to it and did not realize it was a big deal, but he had to be careful.

"Which link saves one or two silvers, I will break your legs and throw them to Jiming Mountain to feed the wild dogs!" Yan Chengjin warned solemnly.

"Young guy is going to do it!" The house manager shivered.

Chunxiao and Qianjin looked at Yan Chengjin, and something strange suddenly appeared.

It is said that the young masters of wealthy families spend money like flowing water, but when the young master spends money, he still thinks of them. Except for sometimes he looks at them with strange eyes, the young master does not seem to be as bad as he said.

For five taels of silver, you can buy several very good cotton jackets. If you buy needles and threads and sew them yourself, it will be enough to buy new clothes for the family.

Chunxiao took the daughter's hand, stepped forward, and said timidly: "Young Master, my daughter and I have learned tailoring with my mother since childhood. We know how to make clothes and only buy needlework and thread and fabrics, which can save the young master a lot of money."

"No!"

"I just said that you are not allowed to save a tael of silver!" Yan Chengjin was like an angry little tiger, which scared the two sisters and the two dared not speak.

A few days later, the first batch of clothes were delivered.

Yan Chengjin wore a fur coat made of hundreds of taels of silver. Wang Busui did a good job, and the inside was very soft. He used the best marten material and felt very warm after wearing it for less than a moment.

The fur clothes continued Yan's style, and it looked ordinary on the outside, looking like an ordinary jacket without any fluff.

The autumn is getting stronger,

The capital did not mean to be bleak, but instead became extremely lively.

Cheng Minzheng was very confident in his son's talent and asked Li Guang, the eunuch of the Sili Prison in the palace to check. In the first three yuan exams, his son's rankings were all before Yan Chengjin.

This time, he had great confidence in winning the Welcoming Song, and the capital finally had a voice of poetry and essays and schools, and he was relieved.

The housekeeper of the Cheng family got drunk and said that the news was missing. Everyone knows about the streets and alleys of the capital today. Cheng Minzheng, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and the great scholar, welcomed Song Song to fight his son. He bet for a moment and cheered for a moment.

After hearing this, Yan Chengjin shook his head. It is impossible to lose if he loses, and he will never lose in his life. He was bet on all the questions in the provincial examination and was finished.

However, everyone's eyes were focused on the Welcoming Pine, because the Welcoming Pine is too dazzling, and few people noticed the Welcoming Pine's son.

Therefore, this competition is ultimately a contest between Cheng Minzheng and Yingkesong, which depends on who can teach it well.

Yan Kesong naturally didn't want to cause trouble because Cheng Minzheng was Zhan Shi of the East Palace Zhan Shi's Mansion.

Nowadays, everyone in the Zhanshi Mansion knows that Yingkesong’s identity is Yan Kesong.

The competition between the two attracted the attention of other Hanlin people, and the examiners of Shuntian Prefecture were all two officials of the Eastern Palace, which was interesting.

Yan Kesong has been an official for more than ten years and has only met Cheng Minzheng a few times. He also glanced at him from a distance and never said hello, so where did the hatred come from?

Today, Cheng Minzheng, who had been on leave for many days, came to Zhan Shi's house. The Hanlin people from Chunfang were waiting for the missing Zhan Shi, who had been on duty for many days.

Cheng Minzheng was quite polite to Yan Kesong and said aloud: "Mr. Ying, I have long admired Daming."

"Mr. Cheng calls him a low-ranking official so he really doesn't dare to be a low-ranking official!" Yan Kesong's Pinyi is much lower than Cheng Minzheng's right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites.
