Chapter 550: Visiting
Also mention a kiss? Wang Yue and Li Xiufang were stunned, the Wang family only has this one daughter.
Chongzhen said: "I have discussed with Queen Zhou and decided to give Princess Kunxing to Wang Sihua and Wang Aiqing as wives. ”
"What?" Wang Yue and Zhang Ziyun exclaimed in unison.
Wang Yue's mouth shape almost became an O word because of surprise. And Zhang Ziyun's exclamation almost turned into an exclamation, marrying Princess Kunxing as his wife, where should he be positioned? Although the starting point city wife and concubine have the same legal status, there must always be a big and small, right?
Wang Yue waved his hand again and again and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is not appropriate, Princess Kunxing is too young, and Weichen already has Ziyun as his wife." ”
Marrying a princess is such a challenging thing, Wang Yue is not rejected. But Princess Kunxing is only eleven years old, oh, twelve years old, according to the future generations, she is only in the fifth grade of primary school, right? Wang Yue doesn't want to marry a primary school student.
"Your Majesty, my family Yue'er already has Ziyun as his wife, Her Royal Highness the princess has a noble status, if she is a concubine, it is unreasonable, and now Her Royal Highness the princess is still young, please think twice." Li Xiufang was moved, but she couldn't do this kind of thing by letting Princess Kunxing come over and occupy Zhang Ziyun's position.
The crown prince Zhu Cihong and Wang Ni are both underage, and there are still doll relatives in the Ming Dynasty. But Wang Yue already has a wife and two concubines, and now Chongzhen is a little anxious to marry the young Princess Kunxing to Wang Yue.
Of course, Chongzhen was anxious, the more he understood the strength of the starting point city, the more anxious he was to hold Wang Yue, the tiger.
"Mother-in-law." Chongzhen changed his title, "Kun Xing is twelve years old this year, we can settle the family affairs first, and it is not too late to get married when we are fourteen years old." The mother-in-law has not heard of the saying that there are three wives and four concubines? Wang Aiqing is now the crown prince of the imperial court, a second-class officer, and is fully qualified to have a third wife. Miss Zhang Er is Wang Aiqing's wife, and Kun Xing can marry and be a flat wife in the future. ”
Li Xiufang's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she saw Zhang Ziyun's face slowing down, and then said to Chongzhen with a smile: "Your Majesty the emperor treats our royal family so well, and the courtiers are grateful, so let's follow the emperor's words in this matter." ”
Chongzhen asked, "Then the mother-in-law, we have decided like this?" ”
"It's decided, it's decided." Li Xiufang said with a smile.
"Mother...!" Wang Yue said.
Li Xiufang put her face and said: "This family business, my mother has promised the emperor, you don't have to say more." Then she said: "Your relationship with Princess Kunxing is settled, the emperor is your future father-in-law, why don't you come over to pour tea for your father-in-law?" ”
Princess Kunxing married into the Wang family, which is much smaller than the family relationship between Zhu Cihong and Wang Ni.
Wang Yue thought helplessly, and he didn't suffer a loss, so he poured a cup of tea and gave it to Chongzhen with both hands and said, "Your Majesty, please drink tea." ”
Chongzhen took the tea bowl with both hands and drank it all, laughing happily: "Good, good!" It's a double blessing today. ”
The goal of proposing marriage was achieved, and a big stone in Chongzhen's heart fell to the ground, can he not be happy?
Li Xiufang was also in a good mood and said: "The emperor will eat in the cold house tonight, and we will celebrate our birthday." ”
"Ugh." Chongzhen suppressed his laughter and said: "I have to visit Shijingshan in the afternoon, and I must return to Beijing before the city gate is closed in the evening, I am afraid it will be difficult to go to the banquet." ”
Li Xiufang couldn't help but be disappointed: "Then wait for the emperor to come next time." ”
"Next time, next time, there's a chance." Chongzhen Road.
——————————————————————
After deciding on the two family affairs with the Wang family, Chongzhen happily continued to visit the starting point city, and the afternoon visit was accompanied by Wang Yue, focusing on Shijingshan Industrial Zone.
Wang Yue and Chongzhen drove out of the west gate of the starting point city in the same car, and saw the Yongding River Bridge after walking a short distance.
"Your Majesty, this is the Yongding River Bridge, which is the first reinforced concrete bridge built in my starting city, which was completed and put into operation in January this year. Now the Lugou Bridge has been closed and only pedestrians are allowed to pass, so the passage of vehicles is concentrated on this bridge. Wang Yue introduced.
Because of the rise of the starting point city, the Yongding River Bridge is becoming more and more busy, and many buildings have been erected on both sides of the bridge, and the traffic on the bridge deck is endless.
The car passed through the approach bridge underpass of Yongding River Bridge and drove towards Shijingshan Industrial Zone. About three kilometers away, another bridge came into view, and a train was coming from the distance.
"So, what's that?" Chongzhen was surprised and pointed to the train track coming from a distance, which was very long, with a total of fifty wagons.
This is a 62-ton shed train, with a single section of 16 meters long and a total length of more than 800 meters.
Wang Yue said: "This is a train, which is used to transport bulk goods. ”
"Let's take a look." Chongzhen is very curious about the train, and it is spectacular to look at.
The car turned left and stopped at the bridgehead more than 20 meters away from the railway.
Chongzhen and the others got off the train and looked at the slowly approaching train in amazement.
"Oh my God, this car is so long!" Princess Kunxing exclaimed, until now she didn't know that she was about to marry Wang Yue.
Wang Yue introduced: "This is a train, a kind of vehicle running on the railway track. Because it has just been put into operation, the current speed is 30 kilometers per hour, and the maximum speed of the car can reach 120 kilometers per hour. ”
After two years of promotion, the weights and measures of the starting point city are already well known to most people, and the royal has several cars, so it is even more familiar.
"Does this car also burn oil?" Princess Kunxing asked.
"It's an electrified railway, and it's powered by electricity." Wang Yue said.
"Then why is it called a train?" Princess Kunxing said strangely.
"Ugh." Wang Yue was embarrassed, so he had to say: "The locomotive can be a coal-fired steam locomotive, an oil-burning diesel locomotive, or an electric locomotive, that's what it is called anyway." ”
The train rumbles, and the wheels rub against the rails. Even at a distance of about 20 meters, you can still feel the air flow brought by the passing of the train.
The huge body that winded for nearly two miles made Chongzhen and the others in awe, and everyone kept silent and quietly watched the train pass by.
After the train passed, Chongzhen walked to the side of the tracks, looked at the gradually disappearing train, and then looked at the endless railroad tracks and the huge railway bridge, and couldn't help but secretly wonder, how much iron does it take?
"Sihua, how long is this railway?" Chongzhen said curiously, now Wang Yue is his quasi-son-in-law, so the title in private has also been changed to show closeness.
Wang Yue said: "This is the coal transport railway from Miyun to Shijingshan and from Shijingshan to Mentougou Hongshuiyu, with a total length of 146 kilometers. ”
He added: "In January this year, the construction of the railway from Beijing to Tianjin has begun, and it is expected that by December this year, the 137-kilometer railway will be opened to traffic. At that time, people will only take one hour and forty minutes to take the train from Beijing to Tianjin. ”
