Chapter 16 Amusement Parks

And Zhao Dezhao can indeed be called the eldest brother like a father.

took care of several younger brothers and sisters since childhood, died of his grandfather and grandmother for several years in a row, Zhao Kuangyin was busy outside, and Zhao Dezhao single-handedly brought up several younger brothers and sisters.

Of course, this was also taken care of by other relatives, and it survived.

Except for Zhao Guangyi, the second or fifth boy of the old Zhao family, the other people's personalities are actually good.

Zhao Kuangyin is also an eldest brother and father in the family, with a strong body but a soft personality.

Zhao Dezhao's grandmother Du Shi didn't like him and often scolded him, and even Zhao Dezhao's aunt and two uncles had no fear in front of him.

Zhao Guangyi has always done whatever he wants in front of him, and even Zhao Tingmei is often neither big nor small.

Before becoming the emperor, Zhao Dezhao's aunt with a knife mouth and a tofu heart often scolded him for his soft personality and was strangled to death by his two younger brothers.

Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin's character is not suitable for being an emperor at all, he is a general, at most he can be regarded as a handsome talent, not a helmsman.

Zhao Dezhao never dared to expect him to help him deal with Zhao Guangyi, and he couldn't tell Zhao Guangyi about killing all the two generations of the old Zhao family in the future.

At this time, Zhao Guangyi was not so vicious, he didn't wait for him to become ruthless, and after these two years, Zhao Dezhao himself could solve Zhao Guangyi.

For the former Zhao Dezhao, Zhao Guangyi was a mountain that could not be surpassed in life.

For the current Zhao Dezhao, he is at most a stepping stone.

Knowing that his younger brothers and sisters would come to play in two days, Zhao Dezhao immediately took charcoal, drew a lot of drawings, and asked Tong Liang to send them to the factory for the carpenters to make.

He painted seesaws, wooden slides, swings, rollers, merry-go-rounds, and two two-story towers with a suspension bridge in between.

Except that most of the equipment is made of wood, it is not much different from the children's amusement parks of later generations.

In the Ming world, Zhu Zhanji built an amusement park for his younger brothers and sisters, which was later developed into an industry by the internal supervisors.

In this world, it's just a matter of copying these.

The construction of this amusement park is not only to give them a place to play, but also to make a name for themselves.

A prince who knows how to take care of his younger brothers and sisters, he has done his best to build an amusement park for them, and spread it out, so that his deeds can be known by the whole Song Dynasty.

Although this did not have a direct effect on his struggle for the throne, the indirect promotion was still very obvious.

The so-called justification, even if Zhao Guangyi made a golden alliance and took the throne of his nephew, he was still scolded for thousands of years.

Zhao Dezhao's lack of business did not dissatisfy Sister Pei, who was working hard.

She is only nine years old this year, and she is regarded as a coolie by Zhao Dezhao, who wants to copy the industrial formulas, processes, and technologies of modern society.

It's a tough and long job.

Today's Sister Pei has a short hair image with an almost bald head, it's not that she doesn't love beauty, it's that she has too many lice on her body.

In this era, don't talk about ordinary people, even ministers, emperors, if you don't love cleanliness, you also have a lot of lice on your body.

cut off her bald head and threw it into the Chinese medicine soup to soak it a few times before she felt a little more comfortable.

The East Palace has four backyards, two gardens, four backyards occupy the four corners, and in the middle is a garden.

Further north, by the moat of the palace, a pond was made in the backyard, with pavilions and pavilions, built somewhat like Jiangnan gardens.

Of the four backyards, two are for Zhao Dezhao's future wife, and the other two, one is used as a warehouse, and the other is a palace maid.

The backyard prepared for the two ladies of Yiwen and Wu, Sister Pei is not suitable for living in, and she is not uncommon with this, she just wants to live with Zhao Dezhao.

But she still needs to have a place to live, and after some consideration, Zhao Dezhao let Sister Pei live in the small courtyard where she was a warehouse.

Not only does she have to store her personal belongings, but she will also do some simple experiments in the future.

This courtyard is for the two ladies in the future, and they may not use this courtyard after they enter the door.

Because there are more than twenty rooms in their own courtyard, they can fit as much dowry as they want.

Sister Pei, who cut her hair, didn't want to go out, in this era, except for the market style, there is nothing to do.

And Zhao Dezhao also intimidated her, describing the epidemic of diseases in this era in detail, and she no longer had interest in the outside world.

Don't say that if you push back the time by a thousand years, even if it is only a hundred years, the world during the Republic of China was ravaged by viruses.

All kinds of schistosomiasis, all kinds of infectious viruses, make most people live no more than 50 years old.

During the Song Dynasty, the average life expectancy was more than forty years.

Like the old Zhao family, it has been developed for several generations, and Zhao Dezhao can be called brocade clothes and jade food when he was born, but he gave birth to nine brothers and sisters, and only four survived.

This is still an official family, and it would be even more pitiful if it was an ordinary family.

On the contrary, like the Pei family, most of the children born survived, so they are outliers.

Sister Pei also gave herself a name called Pei Ge'an, which was to commemorate the two children, Zhongge, Zhong'an.

When she cut off her bald head and excitedly emphasized to Zhao Dezhao that she could not call her Sister Pei in the future, but to call her Pei Ge'an, Zhao Dezhao could clearly feel her reluctance to the two children.

But he's a pawn played by fate himself, and he's not sure if she'll be able to see her two children.

The craftsmen of the workshop moved quickly, the wood was ready-made, and with the drawings, it was easy to build slides and seesaws according to the drawings.

Even the wooden house, the tower, and the drawbridge were just a little more work.

One day to cut the material, assemble it, and then polish the wood, sand, apply tung oil and paint,

The next day, the paint dried, and a small amusement park was built in the middle of the backyard.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, early in the morning, just after breakfast, a younger brother and sister, accompanied by eunuchs and palace maids, left the palace from the left gate.

In order not to disturb the people, they then did not turn to the main road, but directly took a boat, came from the moat, and entered the backyard of the East Palace.

The four younger siblings were all raised by him since he was a child, and they were very close to him.

and inherited Zhao Dezhao's memories and emotions, Zhao Dezhao also treated them sincerely.

Waiting for them at the small pier, as soon as they got ashore, the two younger sisters led by the fourth sister, and the younger brother Zhao Defang saluted Zhao Dezhao. "I've seen the second brother."

The sixth sister, who was held by the nurse, didn't see Zhao Dezhao for a few days, and when she saw him, she happily called the second brother and opened her arms to hug her.

Zhao Dezhao took her from the nurse and sent the eunuchs and palace maids who came with them, each with dozens of big money.

Everyone was rewarded by Zhao Dezhao, and one by one they were happy, said some Guangtang words, flattered them, and were arranged to go down to enjoy the coolness.

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin was not a particular person, and the rules in the palace were chaotic.

During this period, the world lost its deer and its etiquette was corrupted.

There are very few literate people, and even fewer people know the rules.

The people who worked in the palace were still the old people in the palaces of the previous dynasties, and they relied on the old and sold the old, thinking that the city head changed the banner of the king, and Zhao Song might change another family at some point, without reverence for the imperial power.

And the newcomers who were recruited later did not understand the rules, and most of them were mothers with milk.

Zhao Dezhao, the prince, is okay to say, he can go out of the palace to visit if he has nothing to do, but princesses like the fourth sister and the fifth sister, if they want to command the eunuchs and palace maids to do things and buy things, they must first ask for money to open the way.

left four close palace maids to take care of the four younger siblings, and they went into the backyard together.

As soon as they entered, they were fascinated by the amusement park, which was specially painted with colorful patterns.

"Second brother, what is that?" Six-year-old Zhao Defang was the most lively, and when he saw the amusement park, he couldn't help but run over, and then saw the swing he recognized, and shouted: "Swing, I like it the most." ”

The fourth sister and the fifth sister are already sensible, although both of them are very itchy, they still wait for Zhao Dezhao to speak.

Seeing their expectant eyes, Zhao Dezhao smiled and said, "Go, this is specially built for you, and you can come here to play if you have nothing to do in the future." ”

The fifth sister smiled and showed her teeth. "Thank you, second brother, I'm going to play."

Only the fourth sister did not move, looking at the skirt on her body with some worry.

Before the Song Dynasty, the skirts rarely had knee-length, that is, there was no inner library. If it's hot today, there is no skirt, and the inside of the skirt is smooth.

Zhao Dezhao saw her embarrassment and said with a smile: "You arrange for someone to go back and get the pants, and you can play." ”

She was still embarrassed, Zhao Dezhao simply helped her make the decision, arranged for the clothes to serve her, and went back to the palace to help her get the clothes.

The sixth sister couldn't wait for a long time, pointed in the direction of the amusement park, and shouted: "Second brother, play ......"

Zhao Dezhao carried her to the side of the slide, went up the steps first, and hugged Zhao Dezhao's neck tightly in fright.

But after sliding on the top of the slide, I was hooked and had a lot of fun.

Zhao Defang climbed onto the suspension bridge, there were rope nets on both sides of the suspension bridge, he was not afraid that they would fall, he shook it vigorously, and the frightened fifth sister wanted to play and was afraid.

And the fourth sister is the most ladylike, sitting on the swing without moving, but the smile on her face is so sweet.

In the distance, Pei Ge'an watched Zhao Dezhao coaxing the child in the corner for a while, and then turned back, it should be touching the scene.

Zhao Dezhao played with his younger brothers and sisters for a while, they all liked it very much, and forgot that there was an older brother next to him.

After instructing the palace maids to take care of them, Zhao Dezhao returned to the middle courtyard and entered the study room in the side hall.

Pei Ge'an sat in front of the large desk, but did not write, but lay there in a daze.

It could be seen from her eyes that she had cried again.

Zhao Dezhao hugged her petite body from behind and sighed.

This kind of affection for the child is irreplaceable by him, and he can only hope that time will erase everything.

At noon, Zhao Kuangyin went down to the court and returned to the vertical arch hall, but he didn't see a child. "Fourth sister, didn't they come back?"

"The official family, the second brother got a garden for the fourth sister and them to play, saying that it was an amusement park, and they didn't want to come back to play there. The second brother dotes on his younger brothers and sisters, and now it has spread in the palace. ”
