Chapter 170: Smashing the Glass

Yun Xi's last reason was said, and the subordinate officials present felt that it was too good. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Even Chen Xingshan said: "Your Highness said that the minister never thought of it. His Highness's idea is really good. I think the people of Fanguo will thank Your Highness. Other people also spoke out in favor of Yun Xi.

No one can disagree with Yun Xi's statement, and it is indeed correct. In this era, even the semi-barbaric Meng Yuan made Marco Polo think that it was heaven on earth, let alone the Ming Dynasty. Although it would be nice to have one out of ten people who came in the last place to really come to bathe in civilization, the reason is correct.

At this time, it was not early, it was almost dark, and it was officially time to get off work. Chen Xingshan, who went home on time every day for dinner and followed etiquette, saw that there was nothing to do and offered to retire.

Of course, Yunxi agreed. Then Zhang Shu and Qin Song also retired. Although Zhang Wen is prodigal by himself, he is very strict with Zhang Shu; And Qin Song is wife Zhang Lun has just given birth to a child, so he went back.

The others stayed and allowed them to eat. Yun Xi sent someone to the dining room to let them prepare a meal, and told Xi Yao to eat with his subordinates today.

At this time, Zhuo Jing said: "Your Highness, this glass is really a good thing. It's sunset, but you can still read the words on the books without lighting up in the room. If it's still window paper, you can't see anything in the house at this time. ”

Yun Xi was very proud. Last year, Yun Xi replaced his inner and outer study, his dormitory, and the office location, Dongnuan Pavilion and other places with glass, and the room was much brighter all of a sudden. Although the cost is high due to the low yield rate, this is a one-time expense, and you can save a lot of money on candles and lamp oil. In particular, the candles used in the palace are specially made and expensive, so it still saves money.

Lao Zhu asked about this matter after knowing it, and Yun Xi told him about tinkering with glass in Heyanzhuang in 1510. And said that the reason why he thought of making glass was because: "My grandson read ancient books, and when it was recorded that when I was in the first century, someone from Italy came to my Greater China with solid colored glass." ”

"My grandson thought that since they could make it, so could I, so I found a craftsman to make this thing. After they were finished, they found that they could make a window the size of a window, and my grandson didn't like window paper very much, so he installed it on the window. ”

Lao Zhu later asked Yun Xi to install glass on the windows in order to save money for candles and lamp oil, but he only let the glass be installed in the place where he dealt with the government and his study, but not in the dormitory. Because the cost of glass is high after all, Lao Zhu generally does not read books in the dormitory, and he does not need the dormitory to be too bright, so he is not safe.

In Yunxi's view, glass windows are basically better than window paper, but there are two disadvantages, one is that the cost is too high now, but this can be overcome; The second is ......

At this moment, Yun Xi heard the sound of "bang", Yun Xi walked out of the East Warm Pavilion, and sure enough, it was Bao Qinghe who was fleeing from the scene of the incident with Min'er and Siqi.

Yun Xi shouted, "Min'er, Siqi, you two smashed the glass again!" Run, stop me! As he spoke, he said hello to the subordinate officials of the East Palace and walked towards them.

Min'a and Siqi immediately stopped when they heard Yunxi's words. Baoqing was still running despite Yunxi's words, but after running a few steps and finding that there was no one around, he turned around and went back to stand with Min'er and Siqi. The palace maids who served them stood by with a bitter face.

Yun Xi went up and bent down to give Min'er and Siqi a brain break, and then said: "How many times have I said that you are not allowed to smash the glass, why don't you listen." If you want to play, there are a lot of fun things, teasing parrots, and even playing with ants, why do you always smash glass? ”

As an elder and the eldest of the three, Baoqing was taught to be friendly with his family, so he stood up and said, "Yunxi, I smashed the glass, if you want to punish me, punish me." ”

Yun Xi had long known that it must be Baoqing who came out to top the bag, whether she smashed it or not. But Baoqing is his aunt and a little girl, how can he blame her? I could only say helplessly: "Auntie, I don't mean to punish you, but this is too wasteful after all." ”

Baoqing asked, "What does 'waste' mean?" Can you eat it? ”

Yun Hee said: "'Waste' cannot be eaten, it means: the uncontrolled use of manpower, money or time. ”

Bao Qing asked again, "What does 'temperance' mean?" Can you eat it? ”

Yun Xi also said: "'Moderation' cannot be eaten, it means: to restrict what is to be eaten. ”

Baoqing said again: "What does 'restriction' mean? ......" After Yun Xi answered n more questions, the original question no longer knew where to go.

After a while, it was dark, and at this time, the eunuch of the Dongnuan Pavilion and Yunxi said, "Your Highness, the meal has been prepared. ”

Yun Xi felt that it was time for Xi Yao and the others to eat, and said to Baoqing: "Auntie, it's getting late today, let's go after eating in my Wenhua Palace." ”

Baoqing said: "It just so happens that my aunt is also hungry. Saying that, he greeted Min'er and Siqi and said, "Let's go, let's go to dinner." Min'er and Siqi secretly glanced at Yunxi and followed Baoqing away. Yun Xi also returned to Dong Nuan Pavilion.

On the way, Baoqing said to Min'er and Siqi: "Look, my method is right, when he wants to blame you, pretend not to know what he means, and then ask rhetorically, that's it, he forgot to blame you." ”

Min'er said, "I think you really don't know what those words mean, right? ”

Baoqing was exposed to the hidden truth, puffed out his cheeks and said, "How can it be, how can your aunt and grandmother have words that I don't know." ”

Min'er stopped talking, but looking at her expression, she knew that she hadn't been fooled, and Siqi was also snickering on the side.

Yun Xi on the other side also thought in his heart: "Baoqing, everyone knows this trick you use, I guess she thought she fooled me, I just got off the donkey." If not, how can you get rid of embarrassment? ’

Back in the Dongnuan Pavilion, several subordinate officials did not mention this matter, and it was better to have less involvement in royal affairs; Just at the dinner table, we talked about interesting things about the court and the people of the capital.

When he returned to the dormitory at night, Yun Xi called Min'er and Siqi over and said, "Don't think that Aunt Baoqing was there at that time, so you can escape punishment." Turn around. ”

Min'er and Siqi reluctantly turned around, and Yunxi gave them a slap in the ass, but the punch didn't hurt either. Then he said: "Don't smash the glass in the future, let alone smash the glass with Baoqing, remember?" The two nodded.

Xi Yao persuaded them again, and Yun Xi let them out.

After going out, Siqi asked Min'er: "Will you still smash it in the future?" ”

Min'er said, "Why don't you smash it?" It's just that when the father is not there in the future. But if there's a fun one, how can you not play? ”
