……

In the vast wind and snow, Chen Xu returned to the study of Qinghe Villa after dispersing to look at the book he had written overtime the night before.

Originally, he planned to let Yang Zhen write to the emperor after he finished speaking, and proposed to set up a joint investigation team of the three provinces to go to Yanmen Pass to investigate and appease the people, so that he would investigate the mastermind behind Wang Li clearly, because of the joint investigation team of the three provinces, then in the end, no matter how big Wang Li's guilt is, how the emperor deals with it will not have much direct relationship with him, so that it will not cause contradictions and estrangement between him and the Wang family.

But what surprised him a little was that Jiang Pu stood up and borrowed Jiang Chutian's letter to completely clarify the matter, and involved Wang Li in advance, so that the Jiang family suddenly put himself on the cusp of the storm and became Chen Xu's shield, so he completely stood on the opposite side of the Wang family, no matter what Wang Li's ending was in the future, the Jiang family and the Wang family would become enemies.

Chen Xu knew that this was Jiang's decision to stand with him after more than a month of judging the situation, and using this method to show his attitude and began to charge.

In the name of Yang Tong, this matter will be clarified, and then the Jiang family will charge into battle, even if the emperor escapes with a headache, but with the rapid spread of this matter among the people, the pressure on the people will become greater and greater, at most three or five days, the emperor will inevitably give a specific disposal plan, I don't know if this letter can be put to use.

"Report, Master Hou, the Marquis of Tongwu is visiting!" Just when Chen Xu shook his head and sighed, the doorman came to report.

"Oh, please!" Chen Xu hurriedly stood up and went out to greet him, but as soon as he walked out of the gate of the backyard, he saw a burly middle-aged man striding with the steward in the wind and snow, followed by a group of guards with tigers on their backs.

"It's snowing heavily, I really didn't expect Tongwu Hou to come, please!" Chen Xu greeted him and gave his hand.

"Ben took the liberty to visit, and please forgive the left, please!" Wang Ben didn't make any pretentious moves, and after taking off his hat, he ordered the guards to stay in the outer courtyard and wait.

The two entered the guest hall hand in hand, the room was blazing, the room was extremely warm, and after the maid served tea, Chen Xu retreated, and then he arched his hand and said: "Tongwu Hou is here for the matter of Yanmen Pass?" ”

"Yes, the matter of Yanmen Ben has just learned today, I don't know that Li'er has caused such a big disaster, Fang Caiben has already gone to the palace to meet Your Majesty, Your Majesty has allowed me to personally go to the Northland military camp to investigate this matter, Zuo Xiang, please rest assured, Ben will not have any thoughts of bending the law for personal gain, and will definitely thoroughly investigate this matter and give Zuo Xiang an explanation!" Wang Ben didn't drink tea, and said directly with a serious face.

Chen Xu nodded slightly, and said with apologies on his face: "Please also ask the Marquis of Tongwu to forgive me for this matter, Xu also got the exact news brought by Yang Gong yesterday, Ben Hou thought that it was only the soldiers who went out of the camp to make trouble without permission to cause trouble, but I really didn't expect that the Marquis of Wucheng was also involved, alas, this time the trouble made Ben Hou also deeply uneasy!" ”

"Don't blame yourself, Li'er is young and vigorous, and it has caused a big disaster, the state has a national law and family rules, how to punish it is all his own doing, no wonder others, no wonder Zuo Xiang, if it weren't for Lord Jiang to find out about this matter today, Ben has always been in the dark, Your Majesty treats my Wang family like a mountain, how can my Wang family be pampered and arrogant to care for the national law......"

Wang Ben said here and stood up and hugged his fists: "Ben is here to inform Zuo Xiang, and he will leave for Yanmen and Beidi Military Camp to deal with this matter later, please rest assured that Zuo Xiang will definitely enforce the law impartially and will never indulge anyone for personal gain!" ”

"Tongwu Hou can be like this, Xu is also relieved, my Great Qin Jiangshan is not easy to get, Your Majesty and the general Tongwu Hou and many other civil and military generals took more than ten years to unify China, among which the difficult and hard Tongwu Hou is more clear than I want to understand, the battle to conquer the Six Kingdoms Chinese civilians killed and injured more than millions, my Great Qin soldiers killed and injured can not be counted, the master awarded Xu three volumes of heavenly books out of the mountain to assist Your Majesty, I can't bear to look at the civil swords and soldiers plus the suffering, Wucheng Hou is young and vigorous, and it is understandable to cause some trouble, But if it arouses the anger of the people of Zhao and rebels, it will only make Daqin fall into chaos, and Xu, as the left minister, will stabilize the dynasty for His Majesty, so he naturally can't turn a blind eye, so he also asks the Marquis of Tongwu to forgive him, and Xu has to do something about this matter! ”

"Zuo Xiang doesn't need to say much, Ben naturally knows Zuo Xiang's painstaking efforts, the sooner this matter is handled, the smaller the responsibility of Li'er, today Ben will not bother Zuo Xiang, farewell, and wait for Ben to come back from the north and then bring Li'er to ask for guilt and farewell!"

The two didn't say a total of five words before and after, Wang Ben gave his hand, Chen Xu was not easy to keep, when he sent Wang Ben out, he encountered the water in a hurry in the yard, and after a simple greeting, the two of them jointly sent Wang Ben to the gate of the outer courtyard, and watched Wang Ben and a group of guards disappear into the vast snow before returning to the backyard together.

"I didn't expect the Marquis of Tongwu to go to Yanmen Pass to investigate this matter in person?"

Back in the living room to sit by the fire to keep warm, Chen Xu was still very surprised. If that's the case, the book won't be useful at all.

And Wang Ben personally went to investigate Wang Li, and the father and son didn't know what kind of trouble they would make when they met.

Wang Li's temperament Chen Xu still has a little understanding, advocating simplicity and rudeness, and his cousin Bai Zhen has a similar temperament, which is completely different from his father and grandfather, in fact, in Chen Xu's opinion, Wang Li is not suitable to be a general who coordinates the overall situation, only suitable to be a general who charges into battle, and he is indeed too young.

Wang Li's age is about the same as Meng Yun and others, Meng Yun's group of gentlemen are still fighting cocks and walking dogs in Xianyang all day long, spending all day drinking and visiting the garden, but Wang Li was promoted by the first emperor to the same level as his father and Meng Tian, a veteran who conquered the Six Kingdoms, and has a higher status than Li Xinjiang and Jiang Hu, who can conquer and fight.

But no matter what the variety, the result of ripening is that it has no shape and no connotation, at most it is just an appearance of the image, in fact, it is still a scum inside.

Wang Li's ability was not enough to take charge of the 60,000 troops in the northwest for the emperor.

According to Chen Xu's plan, the joint investigation team of the three provinces was borrowed to investigate the Yanmen Pass incident clearly, so that the first emperor could be written to reform the army, change the method of service, implement stricter military discipline and a more perfect army system, restrain Wang Li, a general who is not capable, and weaken his military power, so as to facilitate the maintenance of the stability of the army and the country.

"Husband, just now I saw that Wuhou has a bad complexion, there is a black gas in the palace, and the roots of the eyebrows are red and green, when the lord is ill and evil, I am afraid that Wuhou will have a big disaster in the near future!" Shui sat next to him softly and hesitated for a long time before whispering.

"Hmm~~" Chen Xu turned his head in surprise to look at the water softly, and smiled and held her hand and said, "When will the lady also look at the face?" ”

Shui gently shook her head and said, "The art of physiognomy has been passed down for a long time, and there are many people who are proficient in Fang Dao Warlocks, and Master Zun has also taught us some. People in the world are born from the heart, just like many wise people can see what others think through people's faces, the master said that through some changes in the complexion of the face, you can also distinguish the good fortune and misfortune, Gubu Ziqing's twelve gods and palaces I have also read ......"

"Haha, I know, Brother Yu can also read physiognomy, you all learn the same physiognomy ......" Chen Xu suddenly laughed.

"Husband, don't laugh at me......" Shui Qing's cheeks flushed with shame in an instant, "I only draw conclusions based on the complexion of Tongwu Hou, I don't know whether it is true or false, it is snowing in the cold winter right now, but Tongwu Hou is going to Yanmen in a hurry, not to mention that the road is also rugged and difficult to walk in the heavy snow, it is still worrying!" ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, Tongwu Hou has been fighting outside all the year round, I don't know how much I have experienced the bad situation of the ice and snow, and there are many domestic servants and guards accompanying him, there will definitely be no accidents, Tongwu Hou has a bad complexion, just because he was angry when he suddenly learned the news, he was relieved!" Chen Xu gently hugged the water in his arms and comforted him.

"The truth that the husband said may be that he thinks too much!" Shui nodded softly, and suddenly remembered something, stood up and pulled Chen Xu and said, "Husband, come with me to have a look, just when you went to court, the craftsmen of the Academy of Sciences sent some perfume bottles with spray caps......

"Spray caps made? Let's go, go check it out! Chen Xu stood up in surprise and followed the water to the backyard gently.

In order to make this spray cap, Chen Xu was forced to do a large-scale two-hemisphere experiment in order to teach a group of craftsmen and craftsmen and students from the Academy of Sciences and the School of Engineering to explain the principle of atmospheric pressure.

Time flies, more than three months have passed from the Mid-Autumn Festival to now, and after many craftsmen's continuous research, today this simple spray cover has finally been made.

"Come and see, husband, this spray cover is really amazing!"

Just walked to the door of the room used to make perfume in the backyard, Ying Shiyan and Meng Wan, who were busy inside, came up together and pulled Chen Xu's arm, now the two wives' bellies are getting bigger and bigger, and they will give birth in the spring, although they are a little inconvenient to move, they look full of energy and look very good.

Chen Xu was surrounded by a group of women and came to a large wooden table placed in the center of the room, which was usually filled with large and small glass bottles and test tube droppers, as well as large bottles and small bottles of various essential oils, alcohol, distilled water, etc. of different colors. In the past, a group of women would come to make some perfumes every day and arrange for someone to send them to the Qinghe store to be sold by Fan Caiwei, but after winter, all kinds of flowers and plants have been almost extinct, and there are not many dried flowers collected, so now the refining of essential oils has long stopped, and the remaining little essence is only occasionally concocted to give away or used by yourself, and basically there is no sale.

At this time, there were a few more colorful crystal glass bottles on the wooden table, but these glass bottles all had a silver iron bottle cap, which was very exquisitely made, Chen Xu casually picked up a bottle filled with half a bottle of water and looked at it, and his mind was a little trance in an instant, as if this bottle came through more than two thousand years of time and space, and there was not much difference from the perfume bottle he saw in later life.

After a short trance, Chen Xu came back to his senses and pressed it gently, only to hear a pop, and under the slightly astringent press, a small hole in the bottle cap sprayed a water mist that was not particularly uniform, but even so, in Chen Xu's opinion, this effect has completely exceeded his expectations.

"Puff~~"

Chen Xu pressed a few times in a row, and the bottle cap sprayed water mist and recovered elasticity very smoothly, and it can be seen that the craftsman has not wasted time in the past three months, and he has indeed successfully made this spray cap, and has completely reached the mature commercial process structure.

"Haha, not bad, not bad!" Chen Xu happily screwed down the bottle cap and looked at the structure inside, it was very simple, a straw made of thin bamboo tubes was connected to an air pressure bin inside, the air pressure bin was closed, and it was also made of iron.

"Oops, it's broken, it's broken, find it quickly!" Under Meng Wan's command, a group of maids hurriedly searched all over the house, and finally found a corner to find the spring back.

"Husband, why did you dismantle it?" Meng Wan was very sorry and took the spring to complain.

"Hehe, rest assured, this cap has a simple structure and can be easily installed!" Chen Xu smiled and looked at the structure inside, took the spring and blew the dust on it a few times and put it in, then pressed the inner lid and turned it gently, and then inserted the bamboo tube after the buckle returned to its place, and the bottle cap returned to its original packaging, put it on the bottle and tried to press it a few times again, and found that it still worked normally.

"With the spray lid, it will be much easier to use the perfume in the future!" Chen Xu pressed the bottle cap against his squeaky nest and clothes, and his hair popped a few times and said with a smile.

"It turns out that the spray cap is used like this, and it's really convenient!" A group of women suddenly realized, and then each picked up one and began to spray water on their bodies and faces, as Chen Xu did, because the bottle was not filled with perfume, but distilled water.

"The spray cover was successfully developed, and after the beginning of spring, I arranged for people to go to the south to collect more flowers and plants to refine essential oils, and in the future, our family will have one more livelihood to make a lot of money, you are all heroes!" Chen Xu said with a smile.

"Hehe, this is all the credit of the husband, and there is no need to go out to show up for perfume, we also like it very much, but the structure of this spray cover is complex and not easy to make, I heard the craftsmen who came in the morning said that they can only make three or five a day, and I am afraid that the supply will exceed demand at that time?" Ying Shiyan said with a little worry.

"It doesn't matter, the production can't keep up, it's only used in the best perfume, these bottle caps are all made and polished one by one, which is time-consuming and laborious, so the price should also be increased, when the time comes, just tell Cai Wei on the line, come, clean the bottle, and then pour the perfume into it, and send a few bottles to Qinghe Mall tomorrow to see the effect......"
