Chapter 32: Xiao Liu, remember to come often next time
Sunset West Mountain.
The academy in Dujia Village has not yet been built.
The skeleton of the small half-acre shed has been built, and the thatch has been paved with a thick layer.
Standing on the opposite side of the greenhouse, Du Shen put his hands behind his back and nodded with great satisfaction.
I thought that I could only build the skeleton of the greenhouse today, but I didn't expect that even the roof was on it.
And among them, Liu Jin contributed the most.
He is strong and strong, a good seedling for work, and he is a smooth and sharp hand.
The greenhouse was built so smoothly thanks to him.
It seems that Zhu Houzhao has to come to listen to it, otherwise it will be difficult to find such a good long-term job.
He sighed and said softly: "Wait two more days, let the ground wake up and fat, you can grow some vegetables, and if you are lucky, you can pick them and eat them during the winter." ”
Zhang Hao had already heard his master mention the matter of building a vegetable greenhouse, and congratulated: "I will be able to do what my master wants." ”
Zhao Xiu and Xu Pengju also congratulated him.
Du Shen looked at his apprentices, his face was full of smiles, and he nodded: "But I can't do without your help, when the vegetables planted grow up, you can take some for yourself and send them home, it will be my heart." ”
Zhang Hao and the others were moved: "Thank you, Master." ”
At this time, Zhu Houzhao asked curiously: "Dare to ask the teacher, can this greenhouse really grow vegetables in winter?" ”
Behind him, Liu Jin, who was tired and paralyzed on the ground, thought: The winter is so cold, and the hundred grains are extinct, so grow vegetables in this greenhouse? Isn't that auspicious? Mr. Du Shen must be bragging!
Du Shen was very confident, patted Zhu Houzhao's shoulder and said: "Of course you can grow vegetables, but the vegetables in winter are definitely not as strong as those that grow in other seasons." ”
Zhu Houzhao was skeptical, and thought about what it would be like to really grow vegetables.
Can you eat vegetables that grow in winter?
At this time, Zhang Hao asked curiously: "I don't know what vegetables the teacher is going to plant?" ”
That's to the point.
If it is a vegetable greenhouse in later generations, you can plant almost whatever you want, and if you are well-equipped, you can even grow fruits such as watermelon.
It's just that today's abbreviated version of the vegetable greenhouse is impossible to achieve that effect.
So what kind of vegetables to grow is a big question.
However, Du Shen had already thought about this problem.
He looked at his eldest apprentice Zhang Hao and replied: "Naturally, it is a kind of woad, this thing does not wither in winter, and it grows in four days, so it is most suitable for planting in the greenhouse." ”
Woad is actually the name of cabbage in ancient times.
It has strong cold resistance, as long as it is not below zero, it can survive, and even grow slowly, and from planting to growing, the cycle is not too long, generally about three months to grow.
Zhang Hao suddenly realized and admired: "I didn't expect the master to plant this treasure, which is really surprising." ”
It's not a sycophant.
But the Chinese cabbage in ancient times, it is indeed a rare treasure, its nutritional value is extremely high, and it is easy to store, even the palace will store a bunch of Chinese cabbage in winter.
A few people walked as they talked.
After a while, we arrived at Dujia Village.
And at this time, there is already a team of people waiting here.
They wore long robes, soft armor, and horizontal swords at their waists, and they were very powerful.
The leader is a white-faced and beardless eunuch, he is gorgeously dressed, and his status should not be low.
Seeing Du Shen and the others appear, the eunuch hurriedly walked over, bowed and saluted, "The slave has seen His Highness." ”
Zhu Houzhao pouted, "Excuse me!" ”
Only then did the eunuch get up, looked at Du Shen and the others, and saw that he was the only one in the crowd who was cleanly dressed and had a leisurely expression, so he couldn't help but smile kindly.
"As the saying goes, it's better to be famous than to see it, and when I see it today, Mr. Du Shen's demeanor is really impressive."
Du Shen was curious: "How does the eunuch know about it?" ”
The other party said with a smile: "The name of Mr. has resounded throughout the capital, and the chalk quills and other things are not only popular in ordinary people's homes, but even used in the palace, how can I not know Mr.'s name." ”
I see!
Du Shen suddenly realized, and also reciprocated with a kind look.
The eunuch exchanged a few more words with Du Shen, then said goodbye and wanted to take Zhu Houzhao back to the palace.
The crown prince is the foundation of the country, and there can be no loss.
On the surface, although Zhu Houzhao ran out secretly, in fact, someone was secretly escorting him all the way, but he didn't know it.
Of course Du Shen has no opinion, in fact, if it weren't for him himself, he would know that the prince would definitely be followed by someone when he left the palace, and he would have sent Zhu Houzhao back to the palace a long time ago, how dare he stay in Dujia Village.
Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to say goodbye: "Goodbye, teacher, if there is time tomorrow, the students will come to audit again." ”
Zhang Hao and others also bid farewell to Zhu Houzhao.
As for Du Shen......
He didn't look at Zhu Houzhao at all, but walked very close to Liu Jin.
"Xiao Liu, ......"
Liu Jinleng said: "What do you command? ”
Du Shen's eyes were gloomy, and he was a little reluctant to work such a good long time.
"I'm tired today and haven't ......"
"Mr. Hui, the slave is not tired."
Liu Jin was a little moved in his heart, he was sent to the palace as a eunuch since he was a child, he tasted all the hardships in the world, he couldn't imagine that he would grow so big, and the only thing he cared about was Mr. Du Shen, who he had met once.
Thinking of the time when Mr. Du Shen proposed to plant vegetables, he was still questioning in his heart, and Liu Jin was ashamed.
Du Shen didn't know that Liu Jin at this time was moved, and he said in surprise: "Aren't you tired?" It's really a good seedling, remember to come back often in the future......"
Liu Jin thought that the other party was praising herself, and she was even more moved.
"The slave must not teach Mr. to be disappointed!"
……
Palace.
When Zhu Houzhao pushed open the door of the study, his father, Emperor Hongzhi Zhu Youji, had been waiting in the imperial study for a long time.
Emperor Hongzhi had a cold face and slammed the table.
Bang!
Zhu Houzhao shrank his head and knelt down directly.
"Son-in-law, see father!"
Emperor Hongzhi snorted coldly, his eyes like lightning.
"Stay close to me!"
"Oh......"
Zhu Houzhao moved his legs and obediently leaned over.
Emperor Hongzhi took a deep look at him and said, "The prince's wings are stiff, he dares to sneak out of the palace, if it weren't for the guards' report, I would have thought that someone broke into the palace and intercepted my prince......"
Zhu Houzhao licked his face and said: "Daming is in an orderly manner under the governance of his father, how can a strong man dare to enter the palace." ”
Emperor Hongzhi was noncommittal, and walked slowly in front of the prince, although he couldn't hear the slightest sorrow in his words, but this was a gigabit of a storm.
"I listened to the guard's report, you worshipped Mr. Du Shen as a teacher?"
Emperor Hongji's tone was a little heavy.
Of course, this is not to say that Zhu Houzhao's apprenticeship is wrong, but the impact of this incident is very troublesome.
The prince's division is very important, and it is only through layers of selection that it is finalized.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, all the prince's teachers will enter the cabinet in the future and become the first assistant.
Originally, Yang Tinghe was a good choice, his family was prominent and talented, and the Manchu Dynasty was willing to stand in that position in the future.
But this rebel turned his head and worshiped Du Shen as a teacher, and Emperor Hongzhi had already thought about how much trouble the hundred officials would make tomorrow morning.
Thinking of this, Emperor Hongzhi's face became even more ugly.
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and the stubborn prince Zhu Houzhao is his most troublesome existence.
Hearing Emperor Hongzhi's words, Zhu Houzhao hurriedly explained: "Back to my father, my son did worship Mr. Du Shen as a teacher, but the teacher was unwilling to accept me into the teacher's door, so he only allowed me to sit in and treat each other as a teacher-student courtesy. ”
Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly and asked, "Is this true?" ”
Zhu Houzhao replied: "Erchen's words are true, and he doesn't dare to deceive." ”
Emperor Hongzhi's face eased slightly, and he was relieved.
"He's a man of general knowledge, a man of talent."
Zhu Houzhao said with a smile on his face, "Of course, Erchen's teacher is definitely not a mediocre talent." ”
Emperor Hongzhi sank his face, "You're actually embarrassed to say it!" I won't discuss such a big matter with me, if I don't beat you today, you won't be against the sky tomorrow! ”
As he spoke, Emperor Hongzhi skillfully pulled out a cork whip from under the bookcase.
The branches are shiny with oil, they are often maintained at a glance, they have never fallen dust, and there are red spikes tied on the side, which looks extremely luxurious compared with the British Gong Zhang Mao's house.
In the end, it is royal, and the whip is so different.
