Feng Jingting said: "What's the matter with Lord Guo?"

Guo Wenying took out the various engineering drawings for the construction of firearms that he had drawn overnight from his arms, "Your Majesty, the minister is fortunate to be in charge of the rebuilding of the Ordnance Bureau and the Firearms Bureau, but if the Firearms Bureau wants to manufacture powerful firearms, the project will cost a lot, and the emperor will approve the appropriation." She said with her hands high, "This is the construction drawing, and I invite the emperor to take a look." ”

A eunuch went over to take down the drawings and present them to the emperor, Feng Jingting opened them at random and looked at them, and saw that the drawings drawn on the drawings were very fine, knowing that she had put a lot of effort into it. She had built a supervision office in the northwest before, so she naturally had experience in this area, so she didn't need to ask too much about this matter, so she said: "What do you need, how much money do you need, draw up a rough charter, and let the household department allocate money to you." ”

Guo Wenying lifted her robe and knelt down, "The minister obeys the order." ”

"Is there anything else?"

"There is another thing, the minister was allowed to establish a technical bureau, and he wanted to recruit good talents in the world, so he asked the emperor for permission. ”

"Quasi-play, let the Hanlin Academy draw up the purpose. ”

"Your Majesty, Emperor. ”

Feng Jingting's cold eyes swept on everyone's faces, "If it's okay, just retreat." ”

All the ministers knelt down together, and after the emperor drove, they left the court in twos and threes.

Guo Wenying walked out, Guo Wenqing and Lu Xinyu caught up from behind, Lu Xinyu said: "Wenying, I was really sweating just now, I was really afraid that the emperor would send you to the southeast." ”

Guo Wenying covered her mouth with her sleeves and yawned lightly, she didn't sleep all night last night, and she was really sleepy at this time. She said, "Don't worry, the emperor won't let me go." ”

If she is gone, who can warm his bed? With his ruffian nature, it is strange that he can let her go. But she doesn't want to leave him now, every time she is served comfortably by him, and she really can't bear his good life.

Guo Wenqing said: "Wen Ying, your identity is already embarrassing, being an official, you may offend many people, it is better to be more restrained on weekdays." ”

Guo Wenying looked at her two elder brothers, Guo Wenqing usually does things cautiously and carefully, but Lu Xinyu is a little freewheeling, so Lu Xinyu never asks her to restrain herself, and she also stretched out her fingers to praise her before going to court, in comparison, she prefers her cousin's temperament.

She said: "I am already a thorn in the side of these courtiers, I am one day, they will stare at me for a day, it doesn't matter if I converge or not, it is wrong to do it, and it is wrong not to do it, so it is better to follow my own temperament." ”

Guo Wenqing couldn't help but sigh, no one in the Guo family was of her temperament, and I don't know who she looks like.

The three of them were talking and walking out, and a little eunuch caught up from behind, saluted the three of them, and said with a smile: "Lord Guo is walking so fast, just now the emperor specially issued a decree, saying that adults rarely get up early, it must be useless to eat, this is the imperial dining room just made, this is not sent to the adults." ”

He handed over a large food box, which was still steaming.

Guo Wenying smiled and said to the two brothers: "I'm feeling hungry, isn't someone bringing food, the two brothers will come and order it together?"

Guo Wenqing waved his hand, "The emperor gave it to you, how dare we eat it." ”

Lu Xinyu lifted the food box, took a silver silk roll from it and stuffed it into his mouth, and said while chewing: "The food that comes out of the palace is usually difficult to eat, but today I am blessed by my sister." ”

Guo Wenqing looked at him with a smile, couldn't help shaking his head, and secretly said that the Lu family is really weird-tempered, so it seems that Wen Ying's temperament is a little with his uncle's family.

He smiled and said: "Wen Ying, the emperor is really good to you, we have been in the court for so long, but I haven't seen any minister who the emperor has rewarded for eating?"

Guo Wenying also took out a hibiscus cake from the food box and ate it, the cake was a little hot, she sucked her mouth before saying, "That's pretty much it." "The heart said, "You are not his woman, why did you bring you food?

Sometimes she was so weak by Feng Jingting that she didn't want to move her fingers, and when she was hungry, she opened her mouth and waited for him to feed her.

Feng Jingting also regarded this as a boudoir interest, and was happy to feed her, and occasionally used his mouth to eat.

The two walked all the way, eating all the way, and Guo Wenqing followed with a sigh in the back. Although it is a bit embarrassing for people to see, there are a few who can be rewarded by the emperor, and they are not afraid to let others see it.

When I arrived outside the palace, a few large plates of pastries were only less than a third of the way. Guo Wenying has lived in Beijing for half a year, and her appetite is much smaller than before, and she feels slightly full after eating a little, so she simply gave the food box to Lu Xinyu and asked him to take it back to his uncle and aunt to taste.

I didn't see my uncle in the court just now, and I heard Lu Xinyu say that he was not in good health for the past two days, so he took a few days off. It's all an old problem, although it's not a big deal, but in the end, it's old, and the maintenance that should be paid attention to is still to be paid attention to.

Guo Wenying cared about her uncle's body for a few more words, and then said: "Brother Yiyu participated in the scientific examination of this subject, let him have more snacks, I heard that this year's examiner is Mr. Lu, do you want to take him to meet?"

Lu Xinyu shook his head, "Don't worry about it, Yiyu's article is well written, you can rest assured, even if you can't win the champion, it is not difficult to get a jinshi, and it is easy for people to take the handle when they go to meet the main exam, so why bother yourself." ”

Guo Wenying sent him to the sedan chair and said goodbye to Guo Wenqing.

Guo Wenqing asked her to sit at home if she had nothing to do, they were all a family, so why bother to be like a guest.

Although Guo Wenying responded, she didn't take it seriously, she was sometimes afraid that she was not as good as a guest for the Guo family. If people don't come to her, she will save herself from worrying.

This year is the year of Dabi, and in two days it will be the day of the imperial examination, and the chief examiner this year is Lu Qifang.

The emperor decided that Lu Qifang would be the chief examiner of the official, in fact, it is not surprising at all, although Lu Qifang had only been selected in the imperial examination, but this person is definitely talented and learned, and his dancing and writing are no worse than those in the Hanlin Academy, and he writes good handwriting. He is in the phase, and he can be said to be a good candidate for the main exam.

It's just that many people have a lot of complaints about him because he is not from a serious academic background, and they talk about him behind his back, saying that he has his current status because of the emperor's favor, but in fact he has not much talent.

Although Lu Qifang was not angry in his heart, he couldn't move his liver fire, he also knew that his current status was in full swing, and he had the potential to crush Yan Yungu, no wonder this old man wanted to ruin his reputation outside all day long.

Lu Qifang's preparation for the scientific expedition was in full swing day and night. Guo Wenying's Firearms Bureau is also building a lot of construction, and she asked for silver from the household department, and it is naturally easy to do things with silver, she transferred Zhang Xinfang to the Ministry of Engineering to help her supervise the project, and usually Deng Jiucheng helped to keep an eye on it, and everything went very smoothly.
