Chapter 107: Guoshi Soap (II)
Apply soap, rub your hands, the foam is overflowing, and the fragrance is permeating.
Soak in water, start your hands, wipe with a towel, clean and flawless.
Gao Shi met everyone's eyes and said with a slight smile: "You brothers must have heard of soap recently, yes, the rumored soap is what I used to clean my hands, please take a look." ”
As he spoke, he took the rosewood box handed by the maid, the wooden box was still open, and Gao pragmatic leaned it slightly, and lowered it a little, so that they could see it.
Seeing that everyone was a "Oh...... This thing used to look like this", and then he smiled again: "There is a way to just say that you don't practice fake tricks, and you will know how effective it is." ”
So everyone politely said "Gao Shi's masterpiece must be very effective", but his hands were not slow at all, they picked up the soap one after another, and wiped it on their hands with water just now, and some people even approached the tip of their noses and sniffed it carefully.
What's more, such as Xue Gang, the eldest son of Yangwu Hou Xue Gan, has always been a naughty and mischievous goods, and he is exactly eight years old this year, and it is the so-called "seven-year-old and eight-year-old dogs are also suspicious", he deliberately reached out and touched a handful of oily clams, and his hands were drenched with oil.
Gu Dali of the Zhenyuan Marquis family beside him pushed him with his elbow, signaling him not to be so ignorant, Xue Gong didn't care about the rammer, pouted and continued his cleaning business.
I want to interject here, Gu Cheng, the ancestor of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, was a general of the imperial court during the Hongwu period, but his Marquis Zhenyuan was enshrined in the Yongle period, so he is generally regarded as a martyr. Today, Gu Huan, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, is old and childless, and Gu Chengguang, the father of Gu Dali, is only the most promising candidate for the title at present, but no one dares to guarantee how the court will decide in the end, so Gu Dali is the most gentle and humble one among today's group of noble sons - after all, the others are all descendants, and their natural names have been decided, as long as they don't do anything too out of the ordinary, the lord is basically a certainty, and his situation is relatively variable.
However, the identity of Xue Gang, the son of Xue Gan, the Marquis of Yangwu, is actually not particularly hard, and there are some things that can be said.
The ancestor of the Yangwu Hou family is Xue Lu, who was born in the military and ranks sixth among the seven brothers, so he is called Xue Liu in the army, and later renamed Lu. In the first year of Jianwen, Zhu Di raised troops in the name of "Zhu Qi, Huang, and Qing Jun's side" to resist the imperial court, and Emperor Jianwen sent the veteran Geng Bingwen as the general of the conquest in order to deal with the rebels, with Li Jian and Du Wei Ning Zhong as the deputies, leading the 300,000 road troops to part ways for the Northern Expedition.
In August, 300,000 soldiers had arrived in Zhengding, Hebei Province, and had a fierce battle with the Yan soldiers along the Hutuo River. Li Jian personally went out to resist the enemy, stopped the Yan soldiers, and was named Luancheng Hou by the imperial court.
But the situation took a turn for the worse, the southern army was soon broken by the Yan soldiers, Li Jian was forced by the Yan general Xue Lu, the middle lance fell off the horse, Xue Lu waved his knife and wanted to cut, Li Jian shouted: "I am Li Luma, don't kill!" So he was captured and saw King Yan. King Yan said: You are a close relative, and now you have to do it! Li Jianjian was then sent to Beiping, but he was seriously injured and died in the middle of the journey. The place where Xue Lu captured Li Jian was in the area of Yangwu County and Wuzhi County, so he was later named the Marquis of Yangwu.
Among the descendants of Xue Lu, those who inherited the "Yangwu Marquis", starting from Xue Xun, this person was Xue Lu's eldest son, but he died early, and he was posthumously named the Yangwu Marquis. Xue Cheng, Xue Xun's eldest son, died young. Xue Xu, the second son of Xue Xun, attacked the Marquis of Yang Wuhou in August of the seventh year of Xuanzong Xuande, led the former military governor (Zhengyipin) in May of the tenth year, and died in the fourth year of Yingzong's orthodoxy. Xue Cong, the eldest son of Xue Xu, attacked the Marquis of Yang Wuhou in February of the fourth year of Daizong Jingchun, and died in April of the fourth year of Xianzong Chenghua. Xue Yu, the eldest son of Xue Zan, chased the Marquis of Yangwu. Xue Lun, the eldest son of Xue Cong, attacked Yang Wuhou in July of the twelfth year of Xianzong Chenghua, the right post of the main Shenji battalion in the third year of Xiaozong Hongzhi, and the sixteenth year of Wuzong Zhengde. Xue Xin, the eldest son of 㻞, pursued the Marquis of Yangwu. Xue Han, the eldest son of Xue Lun, attacked the Marquis of Yang Wu in March of the ninth year of Sejong Jiajing, and was in charge of the red helmet general Shangzhi in the nineteenth year ("History of the Ming Dynasty", Yongle set up the Ming armor and the red helmet two armies), died in the twenty-third year, and had no children.
And Xue Gan was originally Xue Xin's eldest son and Xue Han's cousin, because Xue Han died childless, so he, as a cousin, was in charge of Yang Wuhou Yin in this era. But in fact, because Xue Han's cousin is not only Xue Gan, the family has been in a state of "competition", and the imperial court is unwilling to officially canonize for some purposes. Therefore, to be serious, Xue Gan's father Xue Gan can't actually be said to be an official Yangwu Marquis, and he is a generation Yangwu Marquis.
I don't know if it's because Xue Gan often needs to deliberately show off his authority within the family to assert his authority, so that Xue Gan has become such a rammer who is not afraid of heaven and earth.
Gu Dali saw that he didn't listen, and he didn't say much, but he secretly despised it in his heart: The uncle in front of him who is a high-ranking scholar is a pavilion elder who is also a heavenly official, if you can coax the high-ranking attendant to read happily, your father's canonization of the Marquis of Yangwu will be able to come up with a resolution when he returns to the imperial court, I really don't know what Uncle Xue told you! Acting like you, it annoyed Gao Shiyu, and said a few bad things about you in front of Gao Ge Lao, Gao Ge Lao wrote a sparse letter, maybe Your Majesty will come down tomorrow with a clear decree and seal Yangwu Hou to someone else's house! What a little bastard who doesn't do enough to do more than he loses.
But unexpectedly, Gao Shiyu clearly saw Xue Wei's behavior, but he still had a smile on his face, and even some encouragement in his eyes, which made Gu Dali a little confused, and said secretly: Could it be that this kid is a nursery arranged by Gao Shiyu, and this is what Gao Shiyu instructed him to do in advance? But why did Gao Shishu do this?
Because of his identity, Gu Dali was more suspicious than others, and he was more willing to think twice before doing things, so he secretly thought in his heart: It is rumored that this soap was handmade by Gao Shiyu himself, and the big guy complimented him so politely just now, and he did not object, so of course he would not see that this thing was not effective...... Then he still allowed Xue Gang to do this, there was only one possibility: he was very sure of the efficacy of this soap, so he was not afraid that Xue Biao's practice would make him lose face, not only that, but he also especially hoped to prove that this soap was indeed amazing.
Gu Dali figured this out, and he had a plan in his heart, but although he had the intention to emulate Xue Gong's actions, I couldn't do that—the motive was too obvious. But since he has this thought, he naturally subconsciously prepared the draft of his speech later.
After all, it's just a matter of washing your hands, and it won't take much time, and your noble sons will be able to do it quickly.
Looking at his clean hands, he smelled the fragrance of the spleen in his nose. The children of all families were a little stunned, but Gu Dali seized the opportunity and praised loudly: "What a soap, what a 'national scholar'!" ”
