Liu Guan in the sedan chair began to think about how to lead the emperor to let the eunuch study, and lead it to the matter of seizing the power of the cabinet, which is just a matter of words, but Yang Shiqi's old fox is not so easy to fool, and that guy has been an official for many years, and he has no handle, as long as he is not fooled, this matter may not be feasible, but the little prince wants to provoke the competition between the cabinet and the emperor through this matter, so as to drive the six ministries, as well as the officials of the world to be involved, resulting in the situation of the ministers detached from morality, this trick has to be said to be a little vicious, but this matter may not succeed, the first emperor seems to be the new monarch, but his mind, the means are not comparable to Emperor Jianwen, the second Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Yang Pu is not Fang Xiaoru, Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng do not know the corruption of government affairs, on the contrary, they have a very strong ability to govern your government, the emperor let the eunuchs read and interfere in political affairs, they may oppose it, but it may not be in order to seize power, causing the emperor and the world's scholars to deviate from the situation, so although the little prince's plan is good, the purpose is not good to achieve ......? However, he didn't care whether this matter was successful or not, whoever in the Zhu family was the emperor, he was just running errands, such a headache, he didn't want to! He pondered it carefully, and then remembered the picture scroll in his hand, and hurriedly opened it to admire, this picture scroll depicts the scene of the Jinmingchi water drama competition in Bianjing (now Kaifeng City, Henan Province), the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. The picture garden wall surrounds, the cross platform is built in the pool, the round temple of the army is built on the platform, and there is an arch bridge to reach the left bank. The left bank is built with the color building, the water hall, and the lower end of the archway is written on the three words "Qionglin Yuan".

The pond bank is surrounded by peach red and willow green, and there are pavilions, docks, and palaces between them. There are five small dragon boats on each side of the dragon boat, each with about 10 people rowing side by side, and one person holding a flag at the bow of the boat, and several other boats swim in the meantime. Written on the left and bottom sides of the garden wall, the crowd is bustling. There are about more than 1,000 people in the whole picture, although the characters are as small as ants, but carefully observed, the proportions are appropriate, the postures are different, the expression is vivid, quite artistic, has always been liked by the literati, in the Shilin Zhang Zeduan's picture scroll is a priceless treasure, now the two paintings of the great painter's life are in his hands, so that he can't help but feel a little proud, all the way to admire, when the eyes touch the lower left corner of the powder wall there are regular script small characters "Zhang Zeduan Chengjin" five characters, nodded with satisfaction and said:" Well, with these few words, the official will go to the cabinet for you, and whether the thing can be done or not depends on the will of God!" After speaking, he opened the curtain and shouted: "Don't go home, go to the cabinet!"

"Hey, bad guy, can you do it, if you can't do it again, I won't serve anymore, I'm going to die of heat?" In the courtyard of the Yang family, Shen Yanqiu asked the busy figure under the patio with a sweaty face.

The figure was constantly changing, it was also sweating under the scorching sun, and the moon-white shirt was already soaked with sweat, and after hearing this, the figure grinned and said, "Okay, didn't my sister try it last night?"

There was a bit of a flirtatious taste of these words, Shen Yanqiu was her daughter's family after all, her pink face immediately turned red, and she snorted: "Shameless!"

The busy figure laughed, and suddenly turned his head and said, "Okay!"

Shen Yanqiu immediately said in surprise: "Really?"

"What did I do to deceive my sister?" said the figure as he stood up and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.

Shen Yanqiu snorted, but said jokingly: "Are you not deceiving others?"

"I won't lie to you this time? you want to feel it too?" the figure sighed, a comfortable expression.

Shen Yanqiu looked at the other party's comfortable appearance, and couldn't help but come over, only to hear a few whistling sounds, which half-person-high fan qì actually turned, and the cool breeze suddenly disappeared half of the coolness on his body.

"What's this called, how did you do it?" Shen Yanqiu said overjoyed.

That figure is none other than our Lord Yang, since Beijing entered June, our Lord Yang began to figure out the tools for making zuò cooling, and after some research, he finally found out the large-scale cooling appliance of "impeller dialing wind" from ancient books, and its cooling effect is very considerable. According to the first volume of "Xijing Miscellaneous Records", there is such a record: "Chang'an skilled craftsman Ding slowly made seven round fans, most of them are in diameter, continuous, one person transports them, and the hall is full of shivers." This text is too concise, we can't know the details of this "impeller wind", imagine that its wind principle should be to use the rotation of the impeller to form a wind source, that is, seven blades are installed on the giant wheel, one person shakes the handle, the seven impellers rotate rapidly, and the air is stirred up to produce a cool breeze. Of course, this kind of large-scale equipment is not affordable by ordinary people, and the royal nobles can enjoy it. But I met our Lord Yang, after several days of preparation, pondering, and repeated practice, finally achieved some results, today I plan to let Shen Yanqiu feel the feeling, and I have started to tinker with it since the morning, I have to say that this thing looks simple, and it is not easy to really tinker with it, and finally the emperor lives up to his wishes, and through guò operation, the seven-piece wheel fan is installed, and then the conversion of water energy is used to promote this ancient technology in one fell swoop.

The whirring cool breeze made Shen Yanqiu feel uncool, wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead, glanced sideways at Yang Zheng and said: "You are really incomprehensible, I see you reciting poems on weekdays, and I thought you only knew things in books, but I didn't expect this to understand, how many skills do you not show?"

Yang Zheng laughed and said, "Is this hard to say! Why don't I show you the same again?"

Shen Yanqiu was already interested, and immediately said in surprise when she heard this: "What?"

Yang Zheng said: "Do you remember the cucumber you told you just now?"

Shen Yanqiu nodded and said, "You mean courgette!"

Cucumbers were not originally vegetables in Chinese mainland. During the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian was ordered by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to send an envoy to the Western Regions and brought back many delicious and interesting things from the "Hu people". These good things have also spread from the court to the people, and have been promoted in the mainland, and cucumbers are one of them.

Therefore, cucumber was originally called "courgette", and it quickly took root in the Central Plains, along with garlic (gourd), coriander (coriander), sesame (flax), walnut (walnut), broad bean (Hu dou), pomegranate, grape, fig, etc. In the Sui Dynasty, once the cook served a dish to Emperor Yang of Sui, Emperor Yang of Sui asked what the name of the dish was, and the cook said that it was cold courgette. Emperor Yang of Sui was very unhappy and ordered the name of the smelt to be changed to cucumber. Since then, the name cucumber has been born.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there was a cold winter wax moon one year, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, suddenly felt that he had no appetite for anything, and he just wanted to eat cucumbers. So, the palace immediately sent eunuchs to look for cucumbers. Finally, I finally saw a man selling two fresh cucumbers in an alley in the capital. But the price of two fresh cucumbers was two hundred taels of silver.

The eunuch was too expensive, and the man said that if he didn't buy it, forget it, he would eat it himself. As he spoke, the man picked up a cucumber and ate it in three or two bites. When the eunuch saw it, he hurriedly and obediently took out a hundred taels of silver. The cucumber seller said, "Now a cucumber sells for two hundred taels of silver."

As soon as the eunuch wanted to speak, the man took the only cucumber left and tried to put it in his mouth. The eunuch had no choice but to obediently take out another hundred taels of silver, buy the cucumber, and take it back to Zhu Yuanzhang to eat, at that time the cucumber was also a scarce thing, and now after decades of cultivation and improvement, the cucumber is no longer eaten by people in the palace, even ordinary people can eat a crisp cucumber in summer! Shen Yanqiu didn't know what he was doing with the cucumber, so he couldn't help but ask curiously: "What do you want to do?"

Yang Zheng smiled and said, "Hasn't my sister been complaining about dry skin on her face recently?"

Shen Yanqiu's heart jumped, and she hurriedly reached out and touched her cheek, and said in her heart: "Is it obvious!"

Yang Zheng smiled proudly and said, "Don't hide it from my sister, there is a recipe in my hometown that can make this cucumber beautiful, and my sister's dry skin will immediately become smooth as water?"

Everyone has a love for beauty, even if it is a demon girl, Wen Yan pulled Yang Zheng's arm and said, "You say it quickly, tell me what kind of recipe it is, I'll give it a try?"

Yang Zheng was slightly stunned for a while, and then sighed: "Does it hurt me?"

"Hey, it's me who is not good, is it that I am not good at grasping it too tightly?" Shen Yanqiu was embarrassed, her face turned red and she scolded: "It's all your fault, you don't say it earlier if you have a prescription, you know people, do people care about it very much?"

Yang Zheng laughed and said, "It's not too late to say now?"

Shen Yanqiu said: "Then you don't say it quickly!"

Yang Zheng said carefully according to the cucumber beauty method learned by his girlfriend in his previous life: "Peel the cucumber, then pound it into juice, then add eggs, mix the egg white and cucumber juice together, add a little drop of white vinegar, mix thoroughly, apply it to the eyes, and then close your eyes and refresh your mind with a cup of tea." After washing, gently massage the skin around the eyes with your hands, not vigorously, because the skin around the eyes is particularly fragile.

Where had Shen Yanqiu heard such a recipe, and said incredulously: "Is this okay?"

Yang Zheng saw that she didn't feel in disbelief, and he was not ambiguous at the moment, so he found a cucumber casually, and then soaked it in water for a while to remove the residual pesticides. Use the same paring knife used to peel potatoes to cut the cucumber into slices, the very thin kind, and then stick it on Shen Yanqiu's little face!"

Shen Yanqiu said a little nervously: "You, what do you want to do?"

Yang Zheng laughed and said, "Let my sister see your father-in-law's cucumber beauty method!"

Shen Yanqiu glanced at him with a look of anticipation, and said angrily: "Do you hate ......?" but he was extremely obedient and let him stick the thin cucumber slices on his pretty face, the cucumber had been pasted very thin by Yang Zheng, and it would not fall off if it was pasted on his face.

Shen Yanqiu asked with some concern, "Is this okay?"
