It turned out that the court heard the news of the little girl, and it was determined that her surname was Gu, not Lu, and by chance she heard that she was the daughter of the Hou Mansion.

As for which Hou Mansion is not clear.

But are there many Hou mansions with the surname Gu in the world? It happened to appear in that county seat from March to June last year.

Concubine Shu could guess with her toes that it was Gu Jinyu.

Concubine Shu tapped her head, but she didn't use any force: "You said you kid!" It's a good thing, it's not a bad thing, so why don't you say it? I said it earlier, your father wouldn't make such a big fuss! Let the men of the military department ride on his head! ”

Gu Jinyu opened her mouth.

Concubine Shu smiled: "When you were a child, you liked to scribble on paper, and the five princes also followed you to paint, at that time, this palace thought that you were all thinking about useless things, and now it seems that this palace is wrong to blame you." ”

Mama Qi on the side smiled and said, "Niangniang, do you remember when the county lord asked people to improve the food box when he was a child?" ”

Concubine Shu held her temples and smiled suddenly: "Ah, I almost forgot if you didn't say it!" Yes! Is that food box still there? ”

Mama Qi smiled: "Yes!" Slaves and maids are all collected! ”

Concubine Shu commanded: "Bring it quickly!" ”

Mama Qi went to the warehouse and took out an old food box that Gu Jinyu had picked up when she was a child.

The palace's food boxes are layered on top of each other, like a walking steamer. Gu Jinyu felt that this kind of food box was inconvenient, and said that if you want to take the bottom thing, you must also pick up the top one, if only each layer could be separated.

She dismantled Shufei's snack box and made a frame to fix it, but the food box with several small drawers could be pulled apart from the side.

The eight-year-old child's hands were not too skillful, she said that the eunuchs did it, but it was also made according to her ideas.

At that time, he also received a few words of praise from His Majesty.

This kind of food box also existed among the people at that time, and it was generally only used to decorate snacks because it was not warm enough.

Gu Jinyu had never seen it, she thought for herself, an eight-year-old girl could be so smart, His Majesty felt that it was very rare.

It was also from that time that Concubine Shu discovered Gu Jinyu's talent and often summoned Gu Jinyu to the palace to study with the five princes.

Concubine Shu whispered: "Tell the truth to my aunt, did you mean it?" ”

"Huh?" Gu Jinyu looked at her stunned.

Concubine Shu smiled happily: "Also, the effect of this is indeed much better than when you confess your identity at the beginning." You have successfully caused a sensation in the imperial court, and also aroused the idea of Your Majesty, the more you are indifferent to fame and fortune, the more Your Majesty appreciates you. ”

Gu Jinyu wanted to speak and stopped.

Where did she do it?

She hadn't heard of it at all.

"Niangniang, you got the things you wanted, where did you put them?" A little eunuch came over with a piston bellows.

Gu Jinyu looked at Concubine Shu in confusion.

Concubine Shu said to Gu Jinyu: "Come, you tell your aunt how this thing is used!" If Your Majesty chats with the palace, the palace will have a common topic with your majesty! ”

This bellows were taken from the military department, and there are many such bellows today.

Gu Jinyu hadn't seen it, but she was really smart, she asked people to bring tools, personally dismantled the bellows, and put them back untouched, and then she understood the principle of this blower technique.

The bellows has three layers, the first layer is where the tie rod is located, and there is an air outlet at each end in front of it, and there is a movable valve on the air outlet.

When the lever is pushed, the No. 1 valve at the rear end opens, the wind flows in from here, and the No. 2 valve closes automatically, and the wind is compressed from the air outlet under the No. 2 valve into the No. 2 small bellows on the second floor.

Under the small bellows is an air outlet, which is connected to the boiler.

When the lever is pulled back hard, the No. 2 valve at the front end is opened, the wind is poured in from the No. 2 valve, the No. 1 valve is closed, and the wind is poured into the No. 1 small bellows on the second layer from the tuyere under the No. 1 valve.

The No. 1 small bellows also has an air outlet, which is also connected to the boiler.

The two small bellows are independent and unaffected by each other, and the only thing they have in common is that they are both connected to the boiler and can send wind power to the boiler.

This double-acting piston bellows has wind regardless of pushing and pulling, and does not waste physical strength and movement.

This design is so exquisite, Gu Jinyu is breathtaking!

Compared with it, his own food box is not even a small witch.

However, did His Majesty and the people in the military department mistake?

It wasn't something she did.

"How did you come up with this?" Concubine Shu asked.

Gu Jinyu thought that Concubine Shu was talking about bellows, and was about to confess, when Concubine Shu interrupted her: "If you don't say who you are, leave a drawing, and leave some clues for people afterwards, the surname Gu has something to do with the Ding'an Hou Mansion, and it doesn't feel very deliberate at all!" It is worthy of being trained by this palace! ”

The focus of harem concubines is always not quite the same as that of normal people.

Gu Jinyu was very puzzled, was there really something wrong? There are only two girls in Ding'an Houfu, one is her, but she has not drawn any drawings.

It's not going to be the wild girl who grew up in the country.

She doesn't know a single word!

How could she possibly do such a subtle tool?

When Gu Jinyu was puzzled, Concubine Shu suddenly patted her hand: "The Four Seasons Gui in the Imperial Garden is open, let's go pick some and come over, and let the people in the imperial dining room make osmanthus cakes in a while, and bring some to your father." ”

Gu Jinyu sighed and was dragged to the Imperial Garden by Concubine Shu.

The flowers of the Imperial Garden are in excellent bloom, violet and red, and they are full of beauty.

Coincidentally, there are not only a few of them who come here to enjoy the flowers, but Concubine Zhuang is also there.

Concubine Zhuang is a few years older than Concubine Shu, not as beautiful as Concubine Shu, but she is also dignified and elegant, and has the temperament of national beauty and fragrance.

"Sister Guifei, such a coincidence." Concubine Shu greeted with a smile and bowed slightly.

Concubine Zhuang returned a half-salute with her.

The two of them are both concubines, but the noble concubine is the head of the four concubines, and her status is naturally above the concubine.

Gu Jinyu also saluted Concubine Zhuang: "I've seen Concubine Niangniang." ”

Concubine Zhuang smiled gracefully and luxuriously: "It turned out to be the county lord of Hui, and the county lord of Hui doesn't have to be polite." ”

"Xie Guifei Niangniang." Gu Jinyu was flat.

Gu Jinyu often enters the palace, and she has seen Concubine Zhuang a few times before, but for some reason, she feels that Concubine Zhuang is exceptionally gentle this time.

Concubine Zhuang's gentle gaze fell on Gu Jinyu's face: "The county lord of Hui is here, you haven't said kiss yet, right?" ”

"Auntie!"

It was Zhuang Yuexi who came over with a basket of freshly picked flowers.

She saw Concubine Shu and Gu Jinyu and bowed.

Gu Jinyu is the county lord, yes, but she didn't dare to accept Zhuang Yuexi's gift in front of Concubine Zhuang, and she also gave a little blessing to return the gift.

"Auntie, what were you talking about?" Zhuang Yuexi asked.

Concubine Zhuang said with a smile: "I'm talking about the family affairs of the county lord of Hui, speaking of which, you are one year older than the county lord of Hui, and you haven't discussed the relationship yet." ”

Zhaoguo women are fifteen and Xu, and only then consider marrying, most of the big families are not in a hurry, and there are also those who get married at the age of eighteen or nineteen.

As for men, most of them are in their twenties and when they reach adulthood.

Why did Concubine Zhuang suddenly ask about Gu Jinyu's family affairs, her intention was somewhat intriguing.

Concubine Shu smiled and said, "Not yet." ”

Concubine Zhuang said: "I heard that she has an older sister who is already married. ”

The smile on Gu Jinyu's face froze.

Concubine Shu looked as usual: "My sister grew up in the countryside and married early." ”

Since the concubine knows, there is no point in covering it up, so it is better to say it generously.

Concubine Zhuang smiled and sighed: "Concubine Shu wants a snack, such a good niece and daughter, I don't know which stinky boy will get cheap." ”

Concubine Shu was amused by Concubine Zhuang Guifei, and the two teased Gu Jinyu again for a while before returning to the palace.

The topic of Zhuang Guifei and Concubine Shu has always revolved around Gu Jinyu, and Zhuang Yuexi on the side seems to have been left out in the cold, this is the first time that Gu Jinyu has been the protagonist in front of her favorite concubine.

On the way back to Changchun Palace, Concubine Shu helped the step on her hair bun, and said a little proudly: "It seems that Concubine Zhuang also knows about your invention of bellows." Her news is really fast, this palace went to deliver snacks to His Majesty and happened to hear it, I don't know how she knew. Hmph, it must be the people around His Majesty who have ventilated with her! ”

Gu Jinyu suddenly realized, is it because of this that Concubine Zhuang Guifei's attitude towards her is so abnormal?

Is a bellows so powerful?

Gu Jinyu suddenly didn't have the courage to confess to Concubine Shu: "Why did the concubine suddenly ask about my family?" ”

Could it be that she is trying to match her with King Anjun, right?

Concubine Shu said casually: "Most of them want to win you over, the prince is like a tiger after getting Wen Linlang, she is afraid that she doesn't want to follow Queen Xiao and find a virtuous helper for her son." ”

King Kening already has a concubine, so wouldn't he be able to marry him only as a side concubine?

Princess Ning is not a good stubble, and it is difficult to survive in the side room under her.

What's more, Gu Jinyu doesn't like King Ning, she likes King Anjun.

Gu Jinyu pulled Concubine Shu's arm and begged, "Auntie, I don't want to marry King Ning." ”

Concubine Shu waved her hand: "It may not be King Ning." ”

Gu Jinyu said: "She only has one son. ”

Concubine Shu said: "Isn't there a nephew?" ”

Gu Jinyu's eyes lit up: "Aunt is saying...... King Anjun? ”
