Chapter 49: Artifact Cement
It was actually Princess Nan'an who spoke for her.
Princess Beijing also waved her handkerchief and said with a smile: "Old lady, this is envy of your son's filial piety, hey, if my kid can remember to give me a set of gold noodles, no matter how cheesy I am!" ”
When he said this, several ladies laughed.
Even the eldest princess couldn't help but say to Princess Beijing: "What a clever person, it's really loved." ”
Princess Beijing generously thanked the eldest princess for her compliment.
Liu was even more curious.
Although Princess Nan'an is quite at odds with the old princess, it is just the nature of her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and she has never refuted her mother-in-law's reasoning in front of outsiders; Princess Beijing is an eight-sided and exquisite, and she has never lost face, but now she talks nonsense with her eyes open, and she is not afraid that the old princess of Nan'an will be angry; The reaction of the old princess of Nan'an is even more strange, who usually loses her face, she either hurts here or there, the whole one relies on the old and sells the old, and at this time she was choked by her daughter-in-law and juniors, and she actually endured it.
Several ladies laughed a few more words, although they didn't hold Liu's every word, but they were praising Jiahu in and out of the words, and the Liu family was confused.
Liu looked at the eldest princess, could it be that what does this have to do with the Zhao family?
Tang looked at Liu's puzzled eyes and laughed loudly: "Yo, our Mrs. Jia doesn't know anything yet!" ”
The eldest princess didn't expect that the two masters of the Jia family didn't tell Mrs. Jia, and couldn't help but wonder: "Mrs. Jia doesn't know?" After speaking, he smiled again: "But I forgot, Master Jia is still in the palace and hasn't come back." ”
Princess Beijing said: "We only heard a little shadow, and I don't know if it's true." As he spoke, he looked at the eldest princess. These ladies do not enter the palace when they are idle, only the eldest princess often enters the palace to visit the queen mother.
The eldest princess nodded with a smile and said to Liu: "Lord Jia went to the fold a few days ago, and dedicated a recipe for benefiting the country and the people to the saint, saying that it was invented by the eldest prince Jia, and the saint summoned him to the palace today." ”
When Liu heard this, his heart finally fell. Hu'er said a few days ago that she would surprise her on her birthday, isn't this it? But compared to this, what the Liu family wanted to hear more was the news of Jia Hu Toad's victory.
Liu sighed secretly in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face, and said: "It's also a joke to say it, my family Hu'er has been mysterious recently, and I haven't even got any news." ――I don't know what the recipe is? ”
The eldest princess pondered for a while, and said: "I listened to the queen mother's mouth, what 'cement', this is water and mud, what it is used for, I don't know. But the royal brother was very happy. ”
All the ladies were secretly frightened, and they all said it in the Queen Mother's Palace, it seems that this recipe really made the emperor happy.
Now is the son-in-law, although he was set up as the prince since he was a child, but after growing up, he fought fiercely with the brothers, so far on the throne, none of the brothers survived, there is only one sister of a compatriot, that is, the eldest princess who is now spared, because of early marriage and spared, Rao is so, the eldest princess was also assassinated and injured when she gave birth to a son, and then the Zhao family has no children in this generation.
That seizure was too tragic, and in the end the prince had to force the palace, but fortunately, Rong Guogong's subordinates temporarily defected, and the prince won lightly. It was precisely because Rong Guogong was a royalist that he had to retreat into the background. And the queen mother is tired of the struggle in the palace, so she closes the palace door on weekdays, and only becomes lively when the eldest princess enters the palace.
Gu Nian Empress Dowager just wants to live for the rest of her life, and she rarely bothers the Empress Dowager with political affairs, and it seems that she is too happy this time to mention it when she talks to the Empress Dowager.
The ladies were even more enthusiastic. One of the generals' wives said with a smile: "We don't know what is going on outside, what kind of water and mud is, somehow it has become a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people." I see, it's no worse than 'turning stones into gold.'" ”
All the ladies praised one after another, and the eldest princess smiled and listened to everyone's compliments from time to time.
It was Tang, who whispered to Liu about the children.
Tang said with a smile: "My son-in-law and Mr. Jia are friends, and now I have my grandson, and Mr. Jia's marriage has not yet been decided?" This is talking about Tang's second daughter-in-law, Xiao Tang, who gave birth to a big fat boy about two months ago.
Liu also knew, and she also went to the full moon banquet in the eldest princess's mansion in person. She nodded with a bitter face and said, "There is still one thing that is not clear now." If it is not resolved, Hu'er's marriage will still be delayed. ”
Tang Shiqi said: "What is the matter?" ”
Liu remembered the letter from the Zhou family, and thought that the Tang family and the Zhou family also had dealings, so he asked in a low voice, "Do you know the Zhou family?" The Zhou family in Jinling. The Zhou family she said was Zhou Ren's father's room. In addition to the long house, the Zhou family is still in Jinling, and the other rooms are scattered in the north and south of the world as magistrates.
"But Mr. Zhou, the eldest son of the former dean of Jiangnan Academy?"
Liu nodded, looking at her with hope in his eyes.
Tang smiled: "That's a coincidence, my sister-in-law is Mr. Zhou's sister, but the Tang family is in the capital, and the Zhou family is in Jinling. ”
Not to mention that there are very few, if it weren't for going to Beijing to report on work, the Zhou family would not have had the opportunity to meet his mother's family at all.
Liu was also a little disappointed, but still inquired: "Do you know how the Zhou family's concubines are?" ”
Tang Shi smiled and said jokingly: "I know this, but I want to say it, do you have money to thank the matchmaker?" ”
Seeing that Liu's face was not happy but very sad, Tang was really curious this time, restrained the chuckle on his face, and said, "What is going on?" Say it quickly, say it quickly. ”
Liu thought to himself, if he first said the words of marriage, if this marriage did not work, wouldn't it be difficult for the daughter of the Zhou family to marry. Thinking of this, Liu Shi pressed this section and did not mention it, and only urged Tang Shi to speak quickly.
Tang couldn't, so he had to say it first. In the end, there is a layer of kinship, which is closer than the Liu family, which can't be beaten by eight poles, and naturally there are only good ones in the mouth.
There is only one point, the grandfather's health is not very good, it seems that it is a matter of the past two years, the daughter of the Zhou family is in time this year, and if she wants to make a decision, she will do it as soon as possible.
Liu Shi listened, but frowned.
The Tang family is not happy, what is wrong with the concubine of the Zhou family?
Liu had no choice but to explain, "Listen to what you said, that daughter has an idea, my Hu'er has too much idea, both of them have the same temper, I'm afraid that they won't get along well." ”
That said, there's nothing wrong with that.
Tang's two sons are married, and she is a person from the past, so she persuaded: "If you sincerely want to find a daughter-in-law for your son, it is useless to just think about it, you have to ask your son what he likes." ”
Liu said that he was very yes, and no longer brought up this topic, and the two talked casually.
The ladies of the eldest princess's mansion were laughing and laughing among the flowers, but Jia Hu in the palace was facing the emperor.
This was the first time Jia Hu had seen the emperor, and he had a subtle feeling. He doesn't have the insistence of a modern man who has a daughter under his knees, and even if he kneels down and salutes, it will not break his arrogance.
The emperor on the throne looked at Jia Hu, who had his head down but his back straight, and secretly admired that he was worthy of being a person who was dedicated to the people.
It was rare to have a heart for love, so the emperor asked a few words, and when he learned that Jia Hu had passed the autumn season, he praised a few words. His main thought was still on the concrete.
"Jia Hu, do you have any other discoveries besides cement?"
That's right, Jia Hu lied that he had stumbled upon cement made by a craftsman, and thus felt that it was promising. Otherwise, how to explain how a person who is studying suddenly invented cement.
Jia Hu pondered for a moment, and then said, "The student also found an object, soap. ”
"Oh?" The emperor asked with interest, "What is the use of this thing?" ”
"Back to the emperor, this thing can be used for body cleaning."
Nothing else? The emperor's eyes fully expressed this meaning, but unfortunately Jia Hu lowered his head and couldn't see.
However, from the long silence above, Jia Hu may have realized it, and said: "Ordinary soap is cheap, and ordinary people can afford to use it; There are also expensive ones, adding various floral fragrances or medicinal materials, which have medicinal value. ”
The emperor didn't dare to be interested in this, so he only asked a few words to make sure that there was nothing else, and finally said his true intention to summon Jia Hu into the palace: "Jia Enhou said that this is your discovery, in that case, Jia Hu, what reward do you want?" ”
Jia Hu said without hesitation: "Students just find people, and they don't dare to take credit." "Even so, it is the officials who report to the police, not the craftsmen, who take the lion's shares.
Sure enough, the emperor said, "There is no need to do so, the craftsman has already received the reward from the Ministry of Works." After a moment of silence, the emperor said, "Someone come, spread my will." ”
“…… Now Jia pardons his godson,...... Jia Yu is the Duke of Rongguo, and Jia Hu is the son of the Duke of Rongguo. The door of the Rong Mansion was opened, the incense case was placed, and the big red people around the emperor shrieked out and finished reciting the holy decree.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Everyone in the Jia family thanked them excitedly, and a trace of satisfaction flashed in the eunuch's eyes, and he said with a smile: "Rong Guogong, take the order." ”
Jia Yu received the holy decree with tears in his eyes, and his face was radiant in an instant. Three generations of Guogong of Rongguofu! What an honor! It's all thanks to his son! My son is great!
Jia Xuan'er Crazy Demon Pardon recently praised his son, and Jia Hu couldn't hold back no matter how thick his face was, so he locked himself in the study, and only said that he was studying behind closed doors and preparing for next year's spring.
didn't mention the aftermath, only said that the emperor summoned Jia Hu during the day, and came to Concubine Shu's Ningxin Hall at night.
Concubine Shu is getting older, and when she is with the emperor, most of them are covered with quilts and chatting, and the same is true today.
The emperor sighed: "The sister of the concubine has given birth to a good son. ”
Concubine Shu said angrily: "The emperor should stop joking with his concubines. The nephew of the concubine is just good luck, and if he comes to another person, he will not tell the court. "It's 'will', but it's not 'want'.
The emperor chuckled, obviously very much in this way, and the concubine's caution was particularly cute in his eyes. Thinking that Concubine Shu only had two daughters, and the Liu family and the Jia family were neutral, although he connived at his subordinates to participate in the seizure of the heir, the emperor still felt that people who were only loyal to him were more pleasing to the eye.
It is said that looking at the beauty under the lamp, the concubine under the dim light has a charming style, this eye wave is horizontal, half of the emperor's body is crispy, and he can't help but move his index finger.
