12. Chapter 12

After lunch, I went back to the house, and immediately received the holy decree. After understanding the meaning of the holy decree, Jiao Wanwan understood what Queen Song meant by the gift in the morning, it turned out that she was not asking for the title of a princess for her, but for the title of a county king for her son.

Although the fourth prince has already left the palace to build a mansion, he was only a prince before, and Jiao Wanwan's voice as a princess was just a void. Now that he has obtained this holy decree, he can be regarded as having this name confirmed, and the four princes were named the king of Chu County, and he was also named the school inspection Taibao, the defense envoy of Guizhou, and led 800 soldiers.

As for the matter of the domain, the holy decree did not say it, but since it was canonized as the defense envoy of Guizhou, this domain must be a piece of Guizhou.

"In Guizhou, although there is often miasma, because the four seasons are like spring, the annual grain output is also a lot, and my money is 20%, which is enough to feed our husband and wife." After sending off the attendant who announced the decree, Zhao Defang rolled up the decree with a smile and handed it to Jiao Wanwan: "Just offer it." ”

Jiao Wanwan hurriedly responded, and found a box of the right size to put it up, so that people could take it to the inner room and put it away. If it is an ordinary family, it should be placed in the ancestral hall, but the fourth prince Zhao Defang was born in the royal family, and the royal ancestral hall naturally cannot be built in the mansion, so it can only be cherished and put away.

After doing this, the couple sat facing each other, but there was nothing to say. It's just that I got married yesterday, and I did the most intimate thing last night, and I'm quite embarrassed now. Jiao Wanwan boasted that she was a cheerful and lively person in her previous life, but in the face of the four princes, she was always afraid that the topic would not be appropriate. The four princes don't look like people who are racking their brains to find topics to please others, so the two of them stared at each other, one felt that the other party was like an immortal the more he looked at it, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the other party was stupid, and he was a little cute.

This embarrassment was broken by the maids around Jiao Wanwan, because it was a marriage gift, and the time was relatively rushed, the Jiao family failed to find a wedding maid, so they simply asked Jiao Wanwan to bring the original four big maids over.

Jin Mei took the sour plum soup and saluted the two people with a smile: "The weather is still a little hot this afternoon, the prince and the princess came back from the palace, I am afraid that they are also a little tired, and the princess ordered in the morning to let the kitchen prepare this sour plum soup, and use the well water to calm it, and drink a bowl at this time, it is just right to be cool and cool." ”

Zhao Defang nodded and motioned for Jin Mei to put the bowl on the table. Jiao Wanwan served it herself, took a sip, the entrance was sweet and sour, and it was a little cool, and she really felt a little bit of heat. When the heat went down, I felt that I couldn't sit like this, so I had nothing to say: "What flavor does the prince like on weekdays?" ”

"Just call me Defang." Zhao Defang tilted his head slightly, looked at Jiao Wanwan and smiled: "In the past, when I had a meal, I preferred it a little lighter." The cook in this house, when I left the palace at the beginning of the year, my father and mother rewarded him, and he is very good at cooking. ”

This is a reminder, Jiao Wanwan nodded hurriedly, the emperor and queen rewarded it, she just didn't like it, and she couldn't give people away. Last time in Baopu Daoyuan, she heard the old lady say that she was used to finding a cook for her, and then she inquired and found out that the kitchen girls at this time can only be cultivated with money, and the cook girls who have worked hard to raise them are rarely sent out for no reason.

In ordinary people's homes, they hire a cook to come back and cook a meal for a happy event, and they will cost dozens of taels of silver, to say the least.

Even if it is a royal mansion, if you want to find a cook, it will cost a lot.

"On weekdays, I also like to be lighter." Jiao Wanwan hurriedly said, Zhao Defang nodded, raised his hand to take the sour plum soup, took two sips, and said: "Wanniang's dowry, you have to go and count it when it is empty, the large and heavy ones are put in the treasury first, the treasury key in this palace, I will let you give it to you when you turn around, and you can go to the warehouse to choose it when you return to the door, after all, it is also my heart, so Wanniang does not need to be polite to me, as long as there is a fancy to it, just take it out." ”

Jiao Wan hurriedly replied, she was very curious, and she didn't know what was in the warehouse. But she was also a little nervous, she was not a native of this ancient world, even in modern times, she was just a white-collar worker, and the most valuable things she had ever seen, except for the gold and silver jewelry in the jewelry store, was all kinds of antiques in the museum. I have never learned to appreciate in my life, what if I mistake the fish eye for a pearl? Or, what if you mistake a pearl for a fish?

If you give the wrong gift, you make a big mistake. The Jiao family loves themselves no matter how much they love themselves, but if the gift is too light, will they feel that they will no longer take their mother's family seriously as soon as they get married? But if the hearts of the four princes are sent out, wouldn't it have created a rift there before cultivating the relationship between husband and wife?

"Four...... Lang Jun, I am very happy that you can trust me so much, but I have never entered the warehouse, in case I don't know the severity, which box or shelf I bumped into, wouldn't it be a sin? After thinking about it, Jiao Wanwan still smiled and said: "Besides, I also want to see your treasure house, why don't you send someone who can use it to explain to me?" ”

The fourth prince curled the corners of his mouth and nodded: "It's okay, Chengfu grew up with me, and most of the things in this warehouse were placed by him with people, Ming'er, I will give you an order, let him follow you first." ”

Jiao Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly remembered the gift that the eldest lady asked her to prepare before she got married, and said busily: "I can't get my hands on the needle and thread, and I haven't been able to make any clothes for Lang Jun before I go out, but I want to prepare something for Lang Jun with my own hands. ”

Zhao Defang raised his eyebrows slightly: "What kind of interesting thing?" ”

Jiao Wanwan only smiled and called Jin Mei in: "That red box, with twelve stickers on it, has a vermilion box in it, you go and find it." ”

Jin Mei was busy, and it didn't take long for her to come over with a vermilion box. Jiao Wanwan opened it herself and pushed it in front of Zhao Defang, Zhao Defang glanced at it, stretched out his hand to take out the thing, but saw that it was a strange long cylinder, with a layer at one end, slightly thick, and only a small hole at the other end.

"What is this?" Rao is the fourth prince is well-informed, and he doesn't know what this cylinder is for. After looking at it for a while, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Jiao Wanwan. Jiao Wanwan hurriedly held the cylinder and put the end of the small hole in front of the four princes: "Lang Jun looks inside from here, what can you see?" ”

According to what she said, the fourth prince just glanced at it, and couldn't help but show some surprise on his face, Jiao Wanwan raised his hand and pinched the circle at the lower end and turned it: "What can you see at this time?" ”

This is something she asked Jiao Zhongzhan to find, and it took a month to make it. In these years, there is no glass, and it is not easy to find particularly pure glass, so you have to let the craftsman polish it according to his own heart, and it takes a lot of experiments to be considered a success. Thanks to the fact that she did these crafts when she was in elementary school, she still remembers the general things.

The polished glass can make Jiao Zhongzhan feel distressed enough, it is not cheap at all, and it costs almost half of his small treasury.

"This is really ......" The fourth prince understood it at one point, and when he saw that Jiao Wanwan turned it, there was a change in it, and he learned it by himself, and the expression on his face became more and more surprised and curious: "How did you get this?" What's inside? ”

"It's just some broken glass." Jiao Wanwan said with a smile: "I also happened to see that my hairpin had some color changes in the sun, so I thought of this method." Do you like Lang Jun? ”

Zhao Defang nodded, and looked at Jiao Wanwan's eyes with a slight change, with a little curiosity and admiration: "You are dexterous, there must be many people who look at the color change of the hairpin, but only you can think of making this thing, and you can only say that you are smarter than ordinary people." ”

Jiao Wanwan is embarrassed to praise, she is also an ordinary person's IQ, not higher than ordinary people at all, and she can do this because of the handicraft class in primary school, thanks to the teacher's guidance. This praise is well deserved.

"As long as Lang Jun likes it." The blush on his face was not because he was praised by Zhao Defang, but because he was ashamed, if Zhao Defang found out that he was an ordinary person and not so smart, would he be disappointed?

"Does this thing have a name?" Zhao Defang asked with a smile again, and Jiao Wanwan nodded: "Yes, because of the variety inside, I call it a kaleidoscope." ”

"Kaleidoscope?" Zhao Defang repeated, nodded and praised: "It's a good name, it's really appropriate, the lady can have this thought, can make such a clever thing, it's really heartfelt, thank you lady." ”

Jiao Wanwan hurriedly waved her hand: "You and I are husband and wife, don't be so polite." ”

Zhao Defang is not very old, in the past, he looked at the clouds and the breeze, but now he has a new thing, and he can't put it down, leaning on the soft pillow, holding the kaleidoscope and looking at it, and asked: "How many of these things did the lady make?" ”

"I only got three, because I had to rely on the second brother to find a craftsman, and the eldest brother to help find the glass, so they each got one." Jiao Wanwan said with a smile, and Zhao Defang turned her head to look at her again: "Is the lady willing to let people do a few more?" ”

"If Lang Jun wants to, I will write out the method when I go back, and Lang Jun just has to find someone to do it." Jiao Wan said hurriedly, she originally wanted to open a toy store, but then patronized learning the rules or something, and there was no shortage of money, and the dowry prepared for her by the Jiao family was very rich, so this idea was shelved.

Now that Zhao Defang mentioned it, this thought turned in his heart again. But then, it was pressed again, and it was about to go to the domain, so why bother with it? Besides, she can only think of one or two toys once in a while, as long as she has fun.

Zhao Defang looked at himself for a while, and then beckoned Jiao Wanwan to come and see, and the two of them sat closer and closer. Because his mind was on the kaleidoscope, no one noticed. When Jin Mei Jin Mei saw the tea, she couldn't help but show joy on her face.

If the relationship between his own lady and the prince is good, this day can be smooth, and they can be more at ease when they are maids, right?
