Chapter 385: Zhao Zongge invited
(The previous chapter was blocked again, I really don't know where the violation was, or if I was complained.) If you haven't seen the previous chapter, think of a way for yourself, and I'll change it. )
"Husband, the concubine is pregnant." Zhao Zonglan smiled, then lowered her head and blushed again.
Gan Qi, who was still thinking a lot just now, immediately stood up when he heard the words, stepped forward a few steps to support Zhao Zonglan, and asked, "Is the lady serious?" ”
"At first, the concubine's body was not accurate, but after seeing Langzhong, she was also allowed to come down, just over a month, it was really there." Zhao Zonglan replied.
Gan Qi was a little stunned at this moment, he didn't even know that he was happy, he was just a little confused, but he also knew that he hurriedly helped Zhao Zonglan to the side and sat down.
Zhao Zonglan said with a smile: "Husband doesn't have to be so cautious, the concubine saw the eldest sister in the morning, and the eldest sister said that it was still early, don't worry too much, take a few pills to stabilize the fetus, and when you have a big belly, you need to be cautious." ”
"Nonsense, how can you not be cautious about giving birth to such a big thing?" Gan Qi has only entered a state of being a father at this time.
"The eldest sister has given birth to three children, and she knows it." Zhao Zonglan had a happy smile on her face.
Gan Qi thought for a while and said, "Yes, none of our families have any experienced people, is there an older grandmother in the old palace?" It is safe to spend a lot of money to invite a few more to come back and wait. ”
Gan Qi thought in his heart, the old father-in-law gave birth to more than 30 children in his life, and the old grandmother in the old prince's mansion was naturally full of experience.
"Well, the husband is thoughtful, so the concubine will go back and find a few grandmothers." Zhao Zonglan replied.
"Now that you are pregnant, how can I let you go, or let me go." After Gan Qi finished speaking, Zhao Zonglan settled down and took a few people out in a car.
Runan County Palace, still high-ranking and prominent, but today is quite a little different, usually Li Ganqi is here, as long as he sends someone to call the door, he will be arranged to wait in the front hall for a while, and then inform him that Zhao Shu and others will come out to meet soon.
It's just that Zhou Tong stepped forward to call the door today, and the porter only said to let Gan Qi wait at the door.
This had already made Gan Qi frown, and he had waited for a long time, and no one had invited him in.
Where in Gan Qi's heart can he not think more?
After waiting for a while, Gan Qi spoke directly: "Turn around and go home." ”
The frame slowly turned around, and it didn't go far from the start, and suddenly I heard a shout behind me: "Dao Jian, wait!" ”
Gan Qi heard that it was Zhao Zonghan shouting, so he stopped the car, and Zhao Zonghan quickly caught up and got on the frame.
Gan Qi spoke first: "What's going on?" Now you can't get through this gate? If there is no one at home, send someone to say it. ”
"Dao Jian, let me tell me carefully, it's really not what you think in your heart, you can't misunderstand. The head of the official family recruited the elder brother to see him, and after beating it, he said that the elder brother should not be friendly with the foreign minister, and said by name that Dao Jian you, and said that when Dao Jian was a tax official in the past, it was okay, but now that he is in power, he must avoid suspicion. Brother also had no choice, he forgot to tell you in front of his head, how did he know that you suddenly came to the door today. Zhao Zonghan explained.
Gan Qi nodded and pondered for a moment, then replied, "The family, on the contrary, we can't see each other anymore...... However, the official family is also reasonable, but I don't know which one chewed this tongue in front of the official. That's it, I'll go back. ”
The official family also said that the family naturally can't be without affection, and it is appropriate to walk around during the New Year's holidays. What is the matter with Dao Jian today? Zhao Zonghan asked.
"Oh, Zong Lan is pregnant, no one in my family has this experience, I want to come to the house to ask a few old mothers and old servants to take care of it, so it is safe."
"Zong Lan is pregnant? Such a big joy, you said it earlier, haha...... Let's take a walk, go into the house, and report good news to my brother, and drink well tonight, you can choose whatever you want. Zhao Zonghan was overjoyed.
Gan Qi shook his head: "That's it, don't provoke people, when you arrive at the door today, you can be regarded as a good news, the servant woman you arrange, if you don't know how to arrange, ask the eldest sister, let the eldest sister pick it and send it." ”
Zhao Zonghan felt a little uncomfortable inexplicably, and he also understood Gan Qi's meaning, and sighed in his mouth: "I was born in this emperor's family......"
"You get out of the car, I'm back." Gan Qi said.
Zhao Zonghan got out of the car, bowed his hand to Gan Qi, and watched Gan Qi's frame slowly drive away, staying in place, just a long sigh.
I don't know when, this Bianliang City suddenly had some rumors, saying that Zhao Zongge, the Duke of the Kingdom of Qiu, has frequently entered the palace recently, and has won the love of the officials.
This kind of remark was originally said to come from the subordinates in the palace, and later the dignitaries and dignitaries also said it conclusively, and even those high-ranking family members also talked about it after dinner.
Some people even say that the official family may intend to set up another prince.
If such a thing is spoken by a man of high gates, then it will be known to the whole city.
Now the Mansion of the Kingdom of Yu suddenly became like a city. It doesn't mean that the dignitaries and dignitaries in the court go to his house, and few officials are stupid to this extent.
The reason why the court is like a city is because Zhao Zongge, the prince of the country, used to play horses and kick football, sumo wrestling and listening to music banquets, and the social circle is really not small.
Now it's different, in the past, it was just to play with it, but now those people are thinking about having a dragon skill, maybe the grandfather of the country will really ascend the throne in the future, and a little benefit will flow out of his fingers, and it will be enough to be used for a lifetime.
The kind of place in the palace of Runan County is something that ordinary people can't climb, and that Prince Zhao, who used to live in a simple place, couldn't recognize so many people, and there was no way to climb it.
Now this Duke of Qiu, it is different, and it is normal for the court to be in the market.
This kind of thing will naturally reach Ganqi's ears, and Ganqi just smiled and remembered someone. This person is the later Song Huizong Zhao Ji, a good idle prince, able to compose poems and lyrics, excellent calligraphy, and extraordinary painting skills. His brother became the emperor, so Zhao Ji never thought that the throne would have anything to do with him in his life.
Who would have thought that one day, his brother died in a short life, and Zhao Ji was carried to the throne. At that time, around Zhao Ji, countless people had made a fortune, they could play, they could play, they could kick, they could play, play and sing, and they all ascended to heaven.
The throne of the Great Song Dynasty is sometimes really like child's play. Too many people who have never been tested by any struggle say that when they become emperors, they become emperors.
Gan Qi knew that this was the second time that Prime Minister Han had made a contribution, and his means were extraordinary.
Now that his wife is pregnant, Gan Qi sent Zhao Zonglan to the countryside again, the city is not a good place to have a baby, not to mention anything else, just say that the water in the city of Bianliang, the water quality is not very good, although it has not completely become a brine like the last Chang'an, but more than a million people have eaten and drunk here for so many years, and it is not much better.
When it comes to draft, the water quality and environment in ancient China have always been excellent, especially the rural rivers, which are really crystal clear.
From ancient times to the present, Chinese actually do not boil water in terms of drinking water, that is, the water in the river or well is drunk when it is beaten. If you drink like this all your life, you can live to be seventy or eighty, and you can still live to be seventy or eighty.
Chinese drinking boiled water, or a later thing, the real origin is the Republic of China period, when there was also a movement, that is, drinking boiling water movement, of course, this is the progress of scientific concepts. The Chinese drank boiled water, and the Republic of China began to advocate it, and it was not really popularized on a large scale until after liberation.
Even the Chinese drink boiled water, and have developed a unique concept, that is, to drink hot boiled water. The only country in the world that likes to drink hot boiled water is China, which cures all diseases.
Gan Qi took Zhao Zonglan to the old mansion, but if he was not worth it, Gan Qi would not go out in the old mansion, hiding in the backyard and not knowing what to do.
The old blacksmith on the docks also took Ganch's business and began to tinker with it.
There were grinding utensils, all kinds of scales, and all kinds of black powders.
There are also all kinds of stones, in addition to calcite and silica, there are also stones of various colors, smashed around.
Gan Ba was a helper on the side, mainly responsible for smashing stones, and said from time to time: "Big brother, this stone is good, and there is a big spark when it is smashed." ”
Gan Qi looked over, Gan Ba hurriedly smashed the stone on the ground again, Gan Qi shook his head: "This spark is still a little smaller." If the stones are not usable, ask the stonemasons if they have found spherical, rod-shaped, or gourd-shaped nodules near the limestone when they were digging in the mountains...... Belch...... I can't tell, so you ask them to bring you some strange stones near the limestone and sell them to you. ”
"Oh, I see." Gan Ba didn't ask much.
Ganchi chose a flint, which is often found in limestone, and flint is a stone that can burst into sparks when hit, and this kind of stone is very useful.
The effect is so great that when struck, it can instantly ignite gunpowder.
What can you do if you ignite gunpowder?
This is the gun, the flintlock pistol. A flintlock pistol that is different from an arquebus. The arquebus is like a firecracker, you have to take the fire source to light the twist, and then you can ignite the gunpowder in the chamber and fire it again. The limitations are too great.
Gan Qi wanted to try a flintlock pistol, without a fire source or a fire twister, and pulled the trigger to make the firing pin smash into the flint and fire it immediately.
Gunpowder is also difficult, Gan Qi did it himself, as soon as the raw materials were used, Gan Qi was grinding and grinding, grinding and grinding, sifting and sifting, and even slowly selecting it himself, exhausting his mind, just to be able to make a little really good gunpowder out.
Gan Qi is also a talent, and his wife raised a baby, so he built a gun at home and experimented with gunpowder. However, Gan Qi is also cautious, every time he mixes experiments, it is a little bit, and he never dares to make too much, and he is afraid of blowing himself up.
When it was time to test the power of gunpowder, Gan Qi would also take a few people far away, crackling, crackling, and happy, as if he had found a little childhood fun.
There are happy things, and there are troubled things.
The post of the Duke of Yu Guo came, and this Duke of the Kingdom of Yu actually sent someone to invite Gan Qi, which was really unexpected by Gan Qi.
Gan Qi happily went to the appointment, or Fan Lou.
Around Zhao Zongge, the Duke of the Kingdom of Qiu, there were seven or eight people, including Confucian literati, nobles in gorgeous clothes, and subordinates who teased the atmosphere.
As soon as Gan Qi arrived, Zhao Zongge got up to greet him, and said: "I have heard that Bianliang Ganfuzi is a high fighter, benevolent and righteous in his heart, and his courage is extraordinary. Gan Fuzi quickly sat down with his head forward. ”
Gan Qi returned the salute and looked left and right at the crowd, and sat down on the left side of the head in front of him.
Immediately, someone poured wine on Ganqi.
Zhao Zongge raised his cup: "Gan Fuzi, please." ”
I don't want Gan Qi to suddenly stretch out his hand to stop him, and ask with a smile: "The prince of the country is invited today, and he will talk about the matter first, and then it's not too late to drink." ”
Zhao Zongge was not embarrassed, put down the wine, and said with a smile: "Gan Fuzi is really not an ordinary person, then I will say it directly." ”
Gan Qixing guessed what Zhao Zongge was going to say, so he deliberately looked around left and right, thinking that Zhao Zongge was going to retreat left and right at this time and have a private chat with him.
I didn't want Zhao Zongge to open his mouth directly: "Gan Fuzi is the leader of the Bianliang scholars, the great talent of the pillars of the court, and he is also a celebrity in front of the officials, and his promotion is also very fast." It is a rare talent in the world, and I usually hear of the name of Gan Fuzi, so today I invited the master, and I am willing to become friends with the master and become close friends, which is a great honor. ”
When Gan Qi heard this, he asked, "But Han Xiang ordered the Duke of Guo to invite me tonight?" ”
Ganchi was so skeptical.
Zhao Zongge immediately said: "Neither is it, Han Xiangri is in charge of everything, where can he care about such a trivial matter?" ”
Gan Qi stared at Zhao Zongge for a moment, and felt that Zhao Zongge was not lying, so he said: "That Guogong shouldn't invite me today, this time, I'm afraid it will hurt Han Xiang." ”
Zhao Zongge smiled again: "I also understand a thing or two about what Master Gan said, and I have also heard that Master and Han Xiang have a disagreement. But don't worry, as long as the master is good friends with me, Han Xiang's side, I will naturally have to talk about it. Dingjiao Master and Han Xiang were like a family. ”
Gan Qi smiled slightly and glanced up at Zhao Zongge.
There is no shortage of people who think they are wise. Zhao Zongge fell in love with Gan Qi's reputation among the younger generation of literati, Gan Qi's great achievements in front of the emperor, and perhaps also liked the newspaper in Gan Qi's hand. So today I want to bring Gan Qi under my command and fuel his power.
Thinking about it this way, there is nothing wrong with it, it can be regarded as smart, knowing that Gan Qi has a lot of resources in his hands.
But today, Zhao Zongge is really smart by doing this.
Seeing that Gan Qi was silent, Zhao Zongge immediately said: "I also know that you are the son-in-law of the palace, but Zongshi has always been unkind, does not associate with ordinary people, and rarely misses the old love. I'm different, you ask them, in the past, I wasn't even a prince, they were by my side, but now I have become a prince, and it's as good as ever for them. I am a person who talks about righteousness and remembers old kindness. ”
Gan Qi looked at the seven or eight people on the left and right.
When everyone saw Gan Qi's gaze, they thought that Gan Qi didn't believe Zhao Zongge's words, and everyone hurriedly spoke.
"Master Gan, Grandpa Guo is really the most gracious, a rare person in the world who values love and righteousness."
"Master doesn't know, in the past, he went to Beijing to take the exam, if it weren't for the help of Grandpa Guo, he would really be sleeping on the streets."
Gan Qi smiled: "Guogong should really go back and ask Han Xiang......"
"What did Han Xiang do? Han Xiang treats me like a mountain, but I don't have to ask him everything, just make a friend, if this matter is successful, I will take my master to Han Xiang to meet him, maybe Han Xiang will need to thank me. This also makes sense, Gan Qi sprays Han Qi in the court every day, and suddenly Zhao Zongge turns Gan Qi into his own person, how can Han Qi not be happy?
Zhao Zongge is still a little confident, that is, he feels that he is more affectionate than Zhao Shu, and he also feels that Gan Qi has been angry recently, and he also feels that he really has a chance to compete with Zhao Shu.
But he didn't think that Zhao Shu didn't dare to see Gan Qi, but he Zhao Zongge dared to invite Gan Qi to dinner. But when it comes to speaking, Zhao Shu is a prince, and he Zhao Zongge is not a prince, so he is a lot less evasive.
Zhao Zongge today, it is a real three-way house, Corporal Lixian.
Gan Qi still just smiled: "That's it, Grandpa Guo's banquet today, I'm afraid I don't have a good mouth, after Grandpa Guo asked Han Xiang, if you come again." ”
