Chapter 181: Reward

On this morning, Zhang Heng led Elizabeth and her party to the Imperial Garden, preparing to meet His Majesty.

After arriving, Zhang Heng saw that Zhao Gou had not yet arrived, and he also told them: "Your Majesty will not talk nonsense later, be respectful." ”

Elizabeth nodded and said, "Don't worry! I'm the only one who can speak official language, they won't speak, and I don't want to go to jail anymore. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Heng was a lot more relieved.

After waiting for a while, Zhao Gou also came over under the support of a group of people.

"Your Majesty's Eucharistic Peace"

Zhang Heng and Elizabeth knelt down and saluted.

"Get up!"

Zhao Gou stretched out his hand to get the two of them up.

At this time, Elizabeth said respectfully to Zhao Gou: "Your Majesty, I am the head of the English Mission, Elizabeth, I wish Your Majesty the Eucharist good health and prosperity of the country." ”

Zhao Gou smiled and said, "Please take a seat, the envoy's official words are very good!" I must have experienced a lot of smiles when I came to Da Song this time! ”

Elizabeth sat down and said, "Your Majesty, we came to your country by boat, and we have been at sea for a full year. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Gou also showed a trace of surprise on his face, and said: "I didn't expect the world to be so big that it would take a year to sail at sea, but it's a pity that I couldn't go and see it in person." ”

Elizabeth continued: "Your Majesty, I have also brought some paintings from our hometown, so that you can look at them and learn about our local customs. ”

"Okay, show it to me."

Zhao Gou was also very curious about this.

"Your Majesty, look at it."

Elizabeth also took out a lot of oil paintings.

Zhao Gou looked at them one by one and said: "These paintings are completely different from the paintings of our Great Song Dynasty, but they have a different style, it turns out that your dress is like this!" The architectural styles are also very different. ”

At this time, Elizabeth said again: "Your Majesty, we have also brought a musical instrument unique to our hometown this time, Your Majesty, do you want to hear it?" ”

Zhao Gou nodded, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please.

Immediately Elizabeth and her companions took out their bagpipes and began to blow, and a melodious and crisp flute sound was heard, which fluttered over the Imperial Garden.

"Well, this flute sound is indeed very different, and it has an ethereal feeling."

Zhao Gou stroked his beard and closed his eyes to admire.

After a while, the song ended, and the sound of the flute slowly dissipated.

At this time, Zhao Gou also came back to his senses and applauded: "Wonderful, this flute is receiving too wonderful." ”

Elizabeth smiled and said, "This is a little song from my hometown, as long as Your Majesty likes it." ”

Zhang Heng stood aside, seeing that Zhao Gou was so happy, he couldn't help but be happy, at least she didn't cause any trouble, and she could leave safely.

At this time, Elizabeth took out the telescope and said to Zhao Gou: "Your Majesty, this is a telescope, which can see far away. ”

"Let me see"

Zhao Gou took the telescope and left to look at it, and saw that the person in the distance seemed to be in front of him, and he was surprised for a while, and hurriedly said: "Why is this so magical?" ”

Zhang Heng explained beside him: Your Majesty, this is very profound, it is the use of this transparent lens to refract the light, so this effect is achieved. ”

"I see"

Zhao Gou also showed a look of understanding or not.

However, Elizabeth on the side was very surprised, and said to Zhang Heng: "There are not many people in our country who understand the principle of the telescope, I didn't expect you to understand this, how do you know?" ”

Zhang Heng thought for a while and said, "I met a foreigner before, and he told me. ”

Elizabeth didn't think much about this reply, and felt that it was also very reasonable.

Zhao Gou also likes this telescope very much, and keeps picking it up and looking at it.

After playing for a while, he also said to Zhang Heng: "Zhang Aiqing, the telescope is a very good thing, do you have a way to create more land?" ”

Zhang Heng thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, it is not easy to make this glass, and you have to invest a lot of time and money in it."

"There's no rush in this matter, take your time, you just have to keep it in mind."

Zhao Gou admonished.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhang Heng saluted.

Zhao Gou looked at Elizabeth and said, "I like these things you bring very much, what do you want, just say." ”

Elizabeth smiled and said, "Your Majesty, we will be returning soon, so I want to buy more souvenirs to go back,"

Zhao Gou nodded and said: "I'm right, buy as much as you want, it's my reward, Zhang Aiqing, it's good that you are responsible for this matter, don't slack off." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty"

Elizabeth also bowed, and was very happy.

Then the two left.

After leaving the palace, Zhang Heng looked at Elizabeth with a bright smile on her face, and couldn't help but say, "Is it necessary to be happy like this?" I'm going to reward you with something soon~"

Elizabeth smiled and said, "Not a little, but a lot, Your Majesty said I can do whatever I want." ”

Zhang Heng looked at her lion's wide opening, and estimated that her wallet had shrunk a lot!

Then he looked at Elizabeth and asked, "What are you going to buy?" ”

"I don't know yet, I'll have to go back and write a list, our ship can hold a lot of things."

Elizabeth is also planning to go back and prepare a list, and she will have to buy it tomorrow.

Zhang Heng watched her run towards the super house with a smoke, and somehow suddenly felt a chill in his back.

After arriving home, Zhang Heng saw that Master Li was sitting on the table cutting the red window paper, he also walked over and said, "Daughter-in-law, what are you busy with?" ”

Master Li said with a smile: "Official, you forgot so quickly!" I'm preparing for Jen'er's birthday party, and you've promised her to organize it. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Heng also scratched his head and said, "I really forgot about this, by the way, when did that girl die?" ”

"Just three days later."

Master Li replied.

"Then I'll arrange it tomorrow, if I mess with this girl's birthday party, then there will be no peace in the future."

Zhang Heng was also glad that he knew about it, otherwise he would be annoyed to death by Cai Zhen'er at that time.

Xiangfu, Cai Zhener was sitting at the window holding a roast duck and gnawing happily, even if her mouth was full of oil, she didn't care.

A maid next to her opened her mouth and said: "Miss, the invitations you asked me to send have been sent, and your birthday banquet in three days, all the young ladies in the city will come, and it will definitely be the most lively thing in the city at that time." ”

Cai Zhen'er smiled and said, "Of course, my grandfather is the prime minister, my husband is the marquis, who dares not to come when I send an invitation!" ”

"And this birthday banquet was personally organized by Zhang Gongzi, and it will definitely be different when the time comes, and there will be a lot of new tricks."

Yahuan is also looking forward to it.
