After entering the twelfth lunar month, Wang Tongzhen became idle, and the same was true for all the yamen in the capital. It was close to the end of the year, and it was time for each other to send gifts. When preparing for the New Year, who was still taking care of the office?

Wang Tong has a different identity now, and he is also one of the goals of giving gifts. Not to mention the threshold is broken, but the threshold and the stone steps in front of the gate are indeed polished.

At this time, Wang Tong realized why the gatekeepers of those big bosses were so difficult to deal with. They wanted to put on door bags and put on airs. It turned out that this was to block guests for their own masters. Wang Tong's men were all from guards and servants. The instructions they received were not to stop guests for no reason, so as not to miss the matter.

I never thought that since the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the entrance of Wang Tong's house seemed like a market, coming from Tianjin Wei, from other places in northern Zhili, Shandong, Shanxi, and even from Jiangnan, Guihua City. This has all had a relationship with Wang Tong.

More often than not, the Jinyiwei Qian stationed in various places, this is to pay tribute to my family. Fei Que wants to stay for a few more years, and the bad one wants to change a good one, even if he has nothing to ask for, now Lord Wang is in charge of his own status. Isn’t it appropriate to give gifts during the New Year?

In other places, there are wealthy merchants who need the care of the Sanjiang system, and there are noble families who have dealt with Wang. However, those who are interested can see some tricks. There are many Jinyiwei, many military generals, and some noble families. There are also many businessmen. As for this civil servant, Lord Lu from Shuntian Prefecture often comes here, but he doesn't get any gifts. In addition, he is a new right-sponsor in Henan...

If you don’t have the identity to give gifts, it’s okay for this nephew to let Lord Wang know a name, but if those who have the identity to give a generous gift, it would be too boring if you can’t even see someone.

But Wang Tong was obviously very annoyed by such things. He hid in the yamen, or he would have been there in the craftsmen and several craftsmen in the Imperial Bureau and the Imperial Bureau. This is normal. Wang Tong was hiding and giving gifts, but everyone came up with other ways. If Wang Tong couldn't see him, then let his wife visit Wang Tong's wives and concubines. This is OK, and it will always be heard in Wang Tong's ears afterwards.

As a result, there were new trends in front of Wang Tong’s mansion during the twelfth lunar month, and female relatives from all families came to the door. It was common for internal relatives from the upper class of the capital to communicate with each other, but it was rare to be as lively as Wang Tong’s family.

These noble ladies lived in the inner house for a long time, and they had a rare opportunity to get out. There were many people born in Wang Tong's mansion, and they were all from the Jinyiwei, military generals and nobles. Most of them were familiar with each other and were in contact with each other.

As a result, after the 12th day of the 12th lunar month, a banquet was held in Wang Tong's mansion every day, and famous actors from the theater outside were invited to sing some musical scenes here, which was extremely lively.

For this, Emperor Wanli had teased Wang Tong in person at the court meeting, but everyone was just smiling, which was anecdote of the capital.

But the discerning person in the capital noticed one thing. The current crown prince's uncle and Concubine Zheng's younger brother Zheng Guotai's wife also went to Wang Tong's house to walk around, and also brought a lot of gifts. According to other noble families in Wang Tong's mansion at that time, Mrs. Zheng was very polite to Mrs. Wang.

This will cause some small sensation. In fact, this sensation is really a big deal. What is the status of the Zheng family now? Just look at the status of the Wuqing Hou family in the past few years. This is also the number one noble family in the capital. Not to mention the appointment early, look at the age of Concubine Zheng. He is only in his early twenties, and the same is true for Emperor Wanli. This is a bit more beneficial than the Wuqing Hou family. Empress Dowager Cisheng was already in her thirties when she became the queen. We should be rich as soon as possible. Zheng Guotai’s young uncle, who still doesn’t know what to do in the future?

Gifts are given by the powerful people everywhere in the capital. This is one of the most popular people in Zheng Guojiu's family. This uncle Zheng Guojiu is also very low-key, and most of the people who come to give gifts are missing.

No one expected that this uncle Zheng Guoguo actually sent his family's family to Wang Tong to walk around. Such a popular nobleman would bow his head to Dingbei Hou. This is a weather vane. How could everyone not understand how to do it?

There are also rumors that Zheng Guowei Zheng Guotai will visit him in person for a few days. This is also a ritual. After all, he is here, so he will lose his value when he comes to the door too early.

Wang Tong is not used to the exchanges between the years and the festivals, but he also knows that as long as he stays in the capital, such etiquette exchanges cannot be avoided, and he can only adapt slowly.

Among the female relatives such as Wang Tong, Han Xia, Zhang Hongying and Lu Ruomei, they have never seen many of them on the market. The ones who are really arranged are Song Chanchan and Zhai Xiuer. They are wise people and know how to do it.

But even so, others will definitely not let their concubines come. After all, if a fame and honor comes, the only one who can come to Wang Tong's reception is Han Xia. Reception and greetings and arrangements for banquets are not a slight plan.

As a result, on the 17th day of the twelfth lunar month, Han Xia was so tired that she had a physical problem. This was after Mrs. Xiang Chengbo's team, she suddenly felt uncomfortable, but she retching.

There was a physical problem with Mrs. Dingbei Hou's health, which was not a trivial matter. She immediately invited a famous doctor. There were also an acquaintance in the Imperial Hospital, and someone came to treat it.

The result of the diagnosis and treatment made the entire Wang Tong mansion happy. Han Xia, the wife of Dingbei Hou, was happy. This was a huge joy. She immediately arranged for someone to go to the Jinyiwei Yamen to report the good news.

After receiving the news, Wang Tong hurried back. According to the guards, he had never seen the adults ride so fast in the capital. And when he entered the door, he almost tripped by the door frame, which showed how nervous he was.

Wang Tong was lonely in that life, and only then did he get married in this life. He was not mentally prepared for having children. When he heard it, his emotions were complicated and difficult to understand, but naturally he was mainly ecstatic.

The wife of the Dingbei Hou and the commander of the Jinyiwei, Wang Tong, was happy. This was an extraordinary happy event. Moreover, people in the capital said that the blessing of the Dingbei Hou was revealed in this small matter. Why, the Dingbei Hou family had so many wives and concubines? If the young man had children first, the status of the eldest son and the second son, and the legitimate and illegitimate wife would be very troublesome in the future. The eldest son and second son, and the legitimate and illegitimate wife were all entangled. If Wang Han had children, the family would be peaceful in the future!

Of course, when everyone talks about this, they always pray and pray. Dingbei Hou has a deep blessing, so the first person in the backstage is definitely a son.

Such a great event could not be hidden, and it was immediately spread throughout the capital. However, those who came to congratulate were close to each other, including Li Wenyuan, Lu Wancai, Ma Pozi, and a group of people from Tianjin Wei. Ma Pozi was so happy that she wiped her tears and said that Wang Tong's parents could be in peace in the sky.

These close relatives arranged for the female relatives to visit Han Xia and congratulated Wang Tong. On the afternoon of the day when the news spread, someone came to greet him. The first one was Zhao Jinliang, who brought the condolences of Emperor Wanli, as well as tonics and supplements from the Imperial Hospital and the imperial kitchen in the palace. After the imperial eunuch was announced, Zhao Jinliang smiled and said the greetings of eunuchs such as Zhang Cheng and Zou Yi. The second one was the eunuch under Concubine Zheng, who was also very polite.

This is the number one confidant around Emperor Wansui. The well-informed person in the capital knew that he could not say anything other than envy.

However, during the court meeting the next day, after Emperor Wanli mentioned this matter, he still said proudly: "The Lian has two sons and four daughters. Wang Tong, you have news now. Is this not as good as the Lian?"

"Your Majesty is so powerful, how dare I compare with you?"

In terms of children, there are few places in Emperor Wanli who are stronger than Wang Tong. Of course, this is just about the number, and we must talk and laugh. Wang Tong's answer is not very sensible. The two people in the side palace talk about this. The eunuchs and ministers were a little dissatisfied. Shen Shixing, who had always been low-key, both coughed and reminded him.

However, Wang Tong was a little puzzled until he retired from the court. He laughed at Emperor Su Li for a few jokes. In a daze, he always felt that someone had said it before, but it was not important, and he was too lazy to be serious.

Han Taiping, the Imperial Inner Principal, also came to Wang Tong's mansion. He was so excited that he cried and said something like Ma Ma's words. The old man raised several grandchildren. Now the grandchildren have become a family and have children, but the old man's wish is not excited. How can he not be excited? Han Xia's brother Han Dan was also urged by a group of personal guards to visit the guests.

I had to take out my own money and lead everyone to Zhenxinglou to eat and drink. I also had fun at Zhenxinglou. I was happy with each other. I was a person like Han Gang, so I simply gave up the order and everyone was happy.

Because of this incident, Wang Tong’s mansion was very happy and had a festive atmosphere, making people feel that the New Year is really coming, and the festiveness of this year is very exciting.

Since he is pregnant, he must not be busy. Zhang Hongying and his friends took care of the housework. Foreigners are also keen and do not come to disturb the house. They are still expensive to visit. They all come under the guise of visiting Han Xia.

The 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month is the last day of the Jinyiwei sealing the yamen. After this day, most of the people on duty left by the Jinyiwei to go back to rest for the New Year.

According to the rules, the case documents must be returned on this day, which means that if Hou Zhen’s work is not in a position at this time, it will not start again after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

However, on the afternoon of the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, Hou Zhen came to Wang Tong's duty room with two more papers. After Wang Tong opened a few pages, he threw the papers to the ground. Hou Zhen was so scared that he trembled and asked, "If the papers are not selected correctly, I will go and select them tomorrow."
