Chapter 22: Reading for the Rise of the Great Song Dynasty

Two hundred meters outside the Xihua Gate in the capital, in the courtyard of Zhang's Mansion that had just changed its house number, Zhang Rou was practicing court etiquette diligently under the guidance of the court etiquette teacher.

Because Xiao Taohong was busy taking care of outside affairs for her, she didn't even have a maid by her side, and in the end, the queen mother knew, so she sent a palace maid named Chunlan in her palace to take care of her.

Court etiquette is not so easy to practice, not only must you remember various rules, but even you have to be careful when you walk and talk. In any case, Zhang Rou also participated in public relations training back then, and she can jump up and down in high heels, and she believes that she will be able to complete her current task.

"Miss, you can rest and drink some water!" Chunlan saw that Zhang Rou was sweating profusely from practice, so she took a towel and a water cup, came to her side to wipe off her sweat and bring tea.

Zhang Rou took a sip of tea and waved her hand at Chunlan: "Don't be careful!" I think back then, Miss Ben also had a record of shopping for a day without panting, but now she goes shopping less, and she sweats after practicing for an hour. I can't do it, I have to continue practicing, in order to maintain a good figure, I have to exercise more, don't stand still, come and practice with Miss Ben......"

Knock Knock......

"Miss, someone knocked on the door, and the slave opened the door!" Chunlan has no masochistic tendencies, and immediately slips away when she has an excuse.

"Little Nizi!" Zhang Rou muttered, she was still practicing.

After a while, Chunlan walked in with a child: "Miss, someone is looking for you!" ”

Zhang Rou turned around and looked: "Oh! Aren't you the kid from last time! What's the name of the guard? Is your jack ready? ”

"Wei Pu, meet Miss Zhang! I didn't come this time because of the lifter, the saint said that the student lifter manufacturing process still needs to be improved, and it may take some time. I was ordered by the teacher today to send you a textile machine, do you think it is inconvenient to sign for it now? Wei Pu blushed and said to her, he didn't dare to look at her, and he was probably still worried about his "pit" for others.

"Oh, let me see! Where? Zhang Rou saw that Wei Pu was empty-handed, so she looked around.

"If you reply, everything is on the carriage outside the door, if you are in a hurry, I will get it for you immediately!" After Wei Pu knew the identity of the family, this state was restrained after all.

Zhang Rou also felt the anxiety in the heart of the half-grown kid in front of her, and tried her best to make herself appear kinder: "Don't be so polite to me, take it easy, I think you shouldn't be too old!" If you don't dislike it, you can call me Sister Xiaorou, and I will also call you Xiaopuzi, what do you think? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare! You will be the queen in the future, and the kid is a grass people, and now he doesn't even have a fame, so he doesn't dare to climb high! And...... I used to cheat your money, and you didn't blame me, don't dare to think about it......" The more Wei Pu said, the lower his head became, and he was about to bury it in his clothes.

"How do you know I'm going to be queen...... Oh, I see, it must have been told to you by Master Bao Zhengbao! By the way, you said that I was cheated on my money, when did it happen? Is it talking about heavy weapons? Zhang Rou asked in a softer voice.

Wei Pu nodded: "I'm sorry, I didn't know that you were going to be the queen before, so I thought that if I sold a little more, the emperor would be able to use a little more money." I originally wanted to give all the money to the emperor, but Lord Bao said that we can't damage the reputation of the saint, so he still divided half of me as he originally said. Then, I gave half to Neon Mei, which I promised her before, so I only have two thousand five hundred, well, it's all here, and I'll give it back to you......"

Of course Zhang Rou wouldn't take his money, she wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to laugh in front of others, she pushed the money back to Wei Pu's chest, stared at his eyes and said solemnly: "Remember! You didn't cheat anyone, you deserve this money, knowledge and wisdom can create wealth, my sister hopes that you will use your brains more in the future to create more and better things for our Da Song! Say okay, call me Sister Xiaorou in the future, and take Bao Nimei to play when you're fine! ”

"Yes, Aunt Zhang......"

"Huh?"

"Little ...... Sister Xiaorou! ”

"Poof, it's Sister Xiaorou, not Sister Xiaoxiaorou!" Zhang Rou patted him lightly on the head and deliberately made a joke with him,

Wei Pu also smirked: "Hehe, I know!" ”

"Alright! Let's go, take my sister to see your loom! ”

"Great!" Wei Pu turned around and howled at the door: "Pull the guys in!" ”

After a brief commotion, several wagons creaked into the courtyard gates, and a group of men moved the mess of the wagons to the ground.

Zhang Rou pointed to the wooden sticks and planks all over the ground: "This is the loom you are talking about?" Fool my sister! ”

"Little Rou Sister" Wei Pu shouted unfamiliarly: "How can I fool you!" These are all accessories on the ground, I just don't think it's easy to carry, so I dismantled it, and after a while, it was quickly installed...... It's all worked! ”

There was another crackling, and the hammer planks flew all over the sky......

"Sister Xiaorou, it's done, this is the new type of hydraulic large-scale textile machine we built according to the drawings of the saint, what do you think?" Wei Pu didn't take the silk scarf handed to him by Zhang Rou, touched the sweat on his face with his dirty hands, and asked her for credit with a smirk.

Zhang Rou turned around and stared at the object in front of her carefully for a while: "This thing looks quite tall, but it's a bit unreasonable to say that it's large, right?" ”

"Oh mama! I forgot to tell you, this is a scaled-down model, and there are drawings. The teacher also told me that they can't produce it in large quantities, so you can take this model and drawings and ask ordinary carpenters and blacksmiths to make them. Wei Pu slapped his head and wiped his dirty hands vigorously on his clothes before he pulled out a crumpled drawing from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Rou embarrassedly.

Zhang Rou took the drawings and didn't look at them carefully, her life as a big boss has been too long, and she doesn't pay much attention to these small things, anyway, it's not for her to do it, just care about the final result.

"You just said that your master asked you to do this, is it your master today?" Zhang Rou remembered that she only told Zhao Zhen about this, so she was very curious about the identity of the baby in front of her, and the fire of gossip in her heart had the meaning of burning the prairie fire.

Wei Pu shook his head: "My master's name is Wang Shenli, and he is now working in the Royal Research Institute, and he was personally taught by the emperor, and he is a real protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven." Counting it, the emperor should be regarded as the ancestor, yes, no, you want to be the queen, and I call you sister again, isn't this a mess......"

"Alright! Don't dwell on this question, you can just call me that in private! Listening to the meaning of your words, it seems that the emperor values you very much! You can help the emperor at such a young age, and you know that you can earn money for the emperor, and you have unlimited prospects in the future! Chunlan, go get some water to make them all wash their faces! ”

"Sister Xiaorou, no need, let's go back and wash!" Wei Pu hurriedly excused himself.

Zhang Rou glanced at him: "Look at you, you are all called sister, and you are still so outside!" Listening to your accent, it doesn't seem like you're a native of the capital! ”

"Well, you're right! A few years ago, our family of five was still living in Huainan! At that time, life was not easy, my grandparents were old, and my father was alone in the family, living in a dilapidated house, and I couldn't eat enough......" Wei Pu remembered the family situation at that time, and couldn't help sobbing.

"Good boy! Don't cry, you see, isn't life good now, you should be happy! Zhang Rou coaxed him and helped him wipe his face.

The other people present are also assistants in the research institute, everyone is not from a good family, they are all born in Hanshi, but everyone who has a little family background has gone to this imperial examination, and they have no better way out, and they only entered when they met the low threshold of Zhao Zhen's Royal Academy.

At this moment, seeing that she is about to become the queen, she can also wipe the face of a child, if there is only one idiom in their eyes that can express their thoughts, it is the mother of the world!

Wei Pu wiped a handful of tears from his own tears: "Don't cry, the emperor said, a manly man, don't shed tears when you bleed!" We are now able to eat enough and live a good life, all thanks to the emperor's gift. But there are still many poor people in this world, and they still don't have enough to eat and can't wear warm clothes. We must follow the teachings of the saints, study hard, apply what we have learned, help the people of the world live a good life, and study wholeheartedly for the rise of the Great Song Dynasty! ”

"Study for the rise of the Great Song Dynasty......" All the poor students present were moved by Wei Pu's simple and sincere language, and they shouted excitedly one by one, and it took a long time to calm down.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Rou looked at their eyes and seemed to have a trace of worry in her heart, I don't know if it was for the people in front of her, or for him in her heart......

Who knows, whatever!

Zhang Rou was no longer entangled, and they all beckoned everyone to have lunch first, but after such an episode, everyone narrowed the distance, and they ate lunch at Zhang Rou's house half-pushed and half-went back after eating lunch.

"Xiao Puzi, sister just heard you say, your parents are also in the capital, what are they doing? Do you want them to work in my sister's textile factory? ”

"Sister Xiaorou, you don't have to worry about it, the emperor has already arranged for them to work in the military workshop, although they are not very rich now, but at least they don't have to worry about food and clothing. Besides, I don't make a lot of money from you! Save a little flower, it's enough for several lifetimes, hehe! Wei Pu finished the rice in the bowl and touched his mouth by the way.

"Hehe, it seems that the emperor really values you! You said that your family lives in Huainan, we are still half a fellow countryman, and the emperor called you from there to the capital, why in the end? "Zhang Rou, this is eating boring and pure gossip.

Historical celebrities For Zhang Rou, a girl whose history is taught by a physical education teacher, only those handsome guys and beauties who appear in the TV series have a little impression in her head, of course, Bao Heitan is an exception.

She can't be blamed for that! Who made him just a man in history who didn't even know the date of birth and death!

And he's also a blind mathematician, and these days, blind people can be mathematicians, funny, right? It's not funny, it's not funny at all! A down-and-out blind man, in that era of lack of scientific knowledge, could still be rated as a mathematician by later generations. Zhao Zhen has every reason to believe that now under his own cultivation, his achievements are definitely far more than that!

Zhang Rou said it casually, but Wei Pu took a lot of pains: "Sister Xiaorou, you asked this question, in fact, it has also troubled our family for a long time." You said that we, a poor family, can't help the emperor much, and there are so many people in the world, why do you choose us alone? ”

"Since you can't figure it out, why don't you ask the emperor directly?"

Wei Pu shook his head: "My father said, don't disturb the saint with these little things, the saint is already very busy every day, we just need to know the grace and repay." Now, the emperor tells us to study hard, and we will study hard! ”

"Well, it's good to know that you are grateful! Let's not talk about this topic, let's talk about your little friend that day! My sister is more interested in this! Zhang Rou traveled over more than ten years and found that the talents of this era are called real precocious, no matter how many zeros and post-zeros are not their opponents, especially girls, they are even more arrogant, which may have a lot to do with the fact that the whole society got married earlier.

"Do you mean Bao Nimei?"

"Uh-huh!"

Wei Pu said nonchalantly: "What does she have to say, she is a pinch of foot worms, she follows wherever I go, she doesn't study seriously for a day, sleeps in class, and plays crazy after class." People go to the library to read books, but she's good, and she chooses to sleep quietly, you know? She's still drooling, which is actually nothing, the key is that she keeps flowing in books, it's a pity! Recently, Master asked me to go to the research institute to help, so I hid for a while. It's weird to say that I used to think that her chattering next to me affected my thinking, but when I was clean, I wasn't used to the sound of no buzzing in my ears, why is this? Is this what the Holy One said about being a scumbag? ”

"Hahaha......" faced a stunned guy, and the record of smiling without showing teeth for a long time was broken.

"Sister Xiaorou, what are you laughing at?" Wei Pu was so confused by her sudden laughter that he was confused, to tell the truth, what's so funny.

Zhang Rou shook her head and said nothing, mainly because her laughter had not eased up.

Wei Pu's face suddenly changed, oops, he made a serious mistake, he just thought about complaining, and didn't think about the consequences that Dao Ni Mei knew!

No, you have to find a way to remedy it!
