The First Emperor, Zhao Hai and Hu Hai bypassed the small lake accompanied by a large group of Xuanwu guards and palace people, and soon saw Chen Xu with a group of beautiful women with flowers and branches following the palace people in, and also holding four children, and a large group of forbidden soldiers behind them carrying more than ten large wooden boxes.

As soon as Qin Shi Huang saw this posture, he knew that Chen Xu's sincerity in coming to visit today was very strong, so he strode up from afar in a happy mood, "Haha, I've been waiting for the young master for a few days, why did you come today?" ”

Chen Xu had no choice but to leave a group of wives and concubines and daughters to hurry up, and said to the First Emperor and Zhao Hai Huhai with an apologetic face: "There have been a lot of things at home these days, and I only came to visit today, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me...... I've seen Jianchenghou, I've seen Gongzi! ”

"It's okay, it's sunny today, it's just in time!" Qin Shi Huang held Chen Xu's hand, but his eyes fell on the family members behind Chen Xu.

"Daughter to meet her father!" Ying Shiyan held her second daughter and saluted Qin Shi Huang.

"Woman, meet Your Majesty!" Shui Gentle, Meng Wan, Fan Caiying and Fan Caiwei followed and saluted together.

"No courtesy, no courtesy!" Qin Shi Huang smiled and nodded.

"Your Majesty, this is Xi'er, you've seen it a few times, this is Qiuyue, it's almost a year and a half years old...... Shi Yan was Fang Fei in her arms, and Wan'er was Yan Xia...... "Chen Xu introduced his daughter next to him.

"Okay, they're all good names, I've heard Meng Qing say it!"

When Qin Shi Huang and Chen Xu's family greeted and spoke, Zhao Hai walked to the front of the wooden box placed on the ground with great interest, smelling a faint fragrance of flowers and plants floating in the air, and couldn't help but open a box, and found that it was full of boxy items wrapped in hemp pulp paper soaked in hot wax liquid, so he was very curious to pick up a piece and open it, and then saw a light red transparent item, as moist as jade, and there were four small concave seals of potpourri soap on it, It also exudes a fresh and elegant fragrance of flowers and plants, which is very attractive regardless of color and fragrance.

"This ...... What kind of cuisine is this? It's so exquisite......" Zhao Hai said, and couldn't help but open his mouth and take a bite.

"Wait a little ...... to build it"

In the unanimous exclamations of the emperor, Chen Xu, and several women, a piece of exquisite transparent soap was missing.

"Hmm, the taste is fragrant and elegant, melts in the mouth, soft and glutinous and does not stick to the teeth......" Zhao Hai was still shaking his head with his eyes half-closed.

"Uncle Long Beard, this is not for food, this is for girls to bathe!" Five-year-old Chen Xi gave Zhao Hai an unparalleled critical blow.

"Uh~" Zhao Hai was dumbfounded, quickly opened his eyes and carefully looked at the things in his hand, and then looked at the various expressions of surprise on Shui Qingrou and the others covering their mouths, and suddenly understood that they had eaten the wrong thing, but in the end, it was the royal family who had seen countless worlds, and his face did not change much, but he looked at Chen Xu very calmly

"Jianhou can rest assured that this thing is called soap, and it is not toxic, it is indeed used to bathe the body, it can clean the skin and increase body fragrance, but although it is not food, it will not have much effect if you eat it, and even if you have constipation, eating some can also improve ......your symptoms," Chen Xu quickly explained.

"Goo Dong~" Zhao Hai swallowed the soap very calmly, then licked his mouth and smacked his lips and said with a smile, "I said, the production of this exquisite and fragrant thing will definitely not be poisonous, and it just so happens that Ben Hou has been on fire recently, and there is no problem with eating a few more bites!" ”

"Jiancheng Hou's stomach is on fire, it's best to go to the imperial doctor for treatment, but this time the soap is much more exquisite than the sample that the young master brought last time......" Qin Shi Huang was also very interested at this time, bent down and took out a piece from the wooden box, opened it, and inside was exactly the same pale red transparent soap.

"Your Majesty, after the beginning of spring, the floral essential oil began to be refined, so the soap of Jingyang Daily Chemical Factory has also begun to be made, and these are a new type of high-grade pure transparent soap that has just been made......"

Chen Xu said as he opened the other two wooden boxes, "There are a total of 300 pieces of high-grade soap here, including 100 pieces of blue, 100 pieces of red, 100 pieces of orange and yellow, and 800 pieces of ordinary soap, each of which is 100 pieces. ”

"These new soaps are so beautiful and so beautifully crafted that they must be worth a lot of money!" Qin Shi Huang couldn't help but ask after watching it.

"Your Majesty rest assured, although the production process of this soap is extremely complicated, but the cost is much lower than perfume, it is made of sesame sesame oil and beef and mutton fat through complex chemical reactions, Your Majesty and Jiancheng Hou in the hands of this high-grade soap, a piece costs two hundred yuan, but it can be used for bathing for at least a month, and there is another ordinary soap ......"

Chen Xu took out a piece of soap from another box and opened it, revealing a milky yellow translucent soap, "Your Majesty, this ordinary soap is the same as the last sample, the price is cheaper, a piece costs a hundred yuan, the effect is almost exactly the same, and there is a soap with a lighter fragrance for civilians, the price is only twenty yuan, but the minister did not bring it, these soaps can be used at any time for washing and washing hands on weekdays, and they can be placed in this special soap box after use, but they cannot be soaked in water, otherwise they will melt soon......"

"I see, soap is indeed much cheaper than perfume, I will ask Zhao Wei to allocate funds to Jingyang Daily Chemical Factory every year in the future, specifically for the harem ladies and concubines to make some soap for use, and it will indeed save a lot of money every year!"

Qin Shi Huang opened several kinds of soap one by one and looked at it, and then he was very interested in the boxes of various exquisite glass, enamel, ceramic and wooden soap boxes brought by Chen Xu, and after carefully looking through them, he ordered the palace people to carry them to the harem and hand them over to the Shaofu to be responsible for distribution.

After dealing with the soap matter, Qin Shi Huang picked up Ying Shiyan's second daughter and made love, and then instructed the chamberlain to escort Shui Qingrou, Ying Shiyan and Meng Wan and others to the harem to find Concubine Yun and several princesses to play, and then invited Chen Xu to go to enjoy the spring and drink tea together.

"Zuo Xiang came just right, Fang Caihai accompanied His Majesty to play, but the chess skills are not good, and he has lost several games in a row, this chess is invented and produced by Zuo Xiang, he must be proficient and skillful, just can play a few games with His Majesty, and Hai can also learn Zuo Xiang's game by the way!"

The three of them walked to the stone bench by the pond and sat down again, and after the palace people served tea, Zhao Hai pointed to the chess endgame in front of him and said with a smile.

Chen Xu hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't pull me, Your Majesty knows that I am a stinky chess basket, and I have never won a chess game in the Academy of Sciences, so I have a nickname: Don't win at all!" ”

"Hahahaha~" Qin Shi Huang laughed extremely happily, "The young master is indeed not very proficient in chess, don't be difficult for the young master!" ”

"It shouldn't be!" Zhao Hai stroked his beard and opened his mouth wide with surprise on his face.

"That's true, Xu's chess skills are a mess and can't be put on the table, and he is at a disadvantage in the game with several wives and concubines in the mansion, how dare he take it out and show his ugliness, or Jiancheng Hou and His Majesty play against him, and Xu will just watch!" Chen Xu was embarrassed.

"Today's sunny spring is just right, since it is spring, how can I let the young master be left out in the cold, I sent someone to recruit Feng Xiang to play mahjong together, it is also a happy thing!" Qin Shi Huang smiled and spoke.

"Your Majesty is late, on the way to the palace, I met Feng Xiang and his family to go to the suburbs with dozens of families, and the same is true for Doctor Meng, originally Doctor Meng also invited me to go to Nanshan for a picnic, but the minister was worried about coming to see His Majesty, so it didn't take place, these two days off, I'm afraid Your Majesty can't find anyone to play mahjong!" Chen Xu said with a smile while drinking tea.

"Well, I almost forgot, no wonder I didn't have a single piece of fun today, it turned out to be a mid-year break, or not, I won't play mahjong, such a brilliant spring, the two Aiqing will accompany me to drink tea and chat, which is also a happy thing!" Qin Shi Huang nodded, and then remembered.

"The minister is here to accompany His Majesty to drink tea and chat today, but it should also be supplemented by entertainment to be the most enjoyable, the minister recently invented and made another entertainment toy, called playing cards, today by the way to bring it, at this time built Hou, just can play......"

"Playing cards?! What? Where is the left phase placed? Take a look! Zhao Hai was overjoyed when he heard this, his eyes looked at Chen Xu, and he urged repeatedly.

"Built Hou Mo anxious ......" Chen Xu smiled and lifted his robe, found a small boxy wooden box in his pocket, opened the lid of the box, and then took out a stack of small boxy cards from it and spread it out on the stone table.

"Hey, are these pieces of paper? What is the meaning of the pattern drawn on it? Qin Shi Huang picked up a few sheets in surprise and found that the patterns and colors on them were still different.

"Zuo Xiang said quickly, how should this poker be played?" Zhao Hai also picked up a few and looked at them, and immediately felt that this stack of cards that looked extremely complicated must be a very novel game.

As an idle marquis with power and power, and a descendant of the royal family, Zhao Hai can be said to have played since he was a child, and he knows all kinds of games, not only proficient in Go, even the mahjong chess that has emerged in recent years is also a thief, and he is also very interested in various emerging entertainment activities, and the emperor is not afraid to win too much.

"There are a lot of playing cards, Rong Xu first introduced the card surface and composition, Your Majesty and Jiancheng Hou please see, this poker card has a total of fifty-four, a total of four suits, respectively, spades, hearts, clubs, four kinds of squares, each and from A to K a total of thirteen different sizes of cards, in fact, it is similar to mahjong cards, A is the number 1, K is thirteen, can be seen as the number on the dice, these strange characters and those strange password numbers on the exchange note deposit slip are the same, Your Majesty and the Hou of Jiancheng know well, Don't have too much suspicion, just look at them as numbers, and the other two extra cards are called trump cards, the colored one is the king, and the black and white one is the little king......"
