"Auntie!"

On the way back to Yongshou Palace, Zhuang Yuexi couldn't help but stop Zhuang Guifei.

Concubine Zhuang glanced at her sideways: "What's wrong?" ”

Zhuang Yuexi is a noble daughter of the Zhuang family, dignified and quiet, and her aunt is really a little out of shape.

Zhuang Yuexi knew that something was wrong, handed the flower basket in her hand to the palace maid on the side, caught up with Zhuang Guifei with her skirt, and whispered: "Yue'er has lost her temper, please punish your aunt." ”

Concubine Zhuang was not angry and said arrogantly: "Since you just met Miss Zhuang, something is wrong with you, let's talk about it, what kind of grudge do you have with others?" ”

"There is no grudge." Zhuang Yuexi whispered.

Concubine Zhuang still doesn't know about her niece? Since childhood, she has been the most noble daughter in the capital, she is intelligent, talented and beautiful, and has never met an opponent.

Gu Jinyu's reputation in her early years was not as good as Zhuang Yuexi, but she was first canonized as the county lord, and then she shined in the women's school, and gradually became as famous as Zhuang Yuexi.

Gu Jinyu can't surpass Zhuang Yuexi at the moment, but with Zhuang Yuexi's dignity, it is already a failure to screen with people.

Concubine Zhuang continued to walk forward, and as she walked, she said, "Is it because of these things that don't please the county lord of Hui?" My aunt told you that you are the daughter of the banker, and your vision must be high, and the pattern cannot be small. ”

Zhuang Yuexi is not because of this.

Zhuang Yuexi lowered her eyes and said, "My aunt taught me a lot. After a pause, he added, "But why does my aunt suddenly care about the family affairs of the county lord of Hui?" Does my aunt want to be a matchmaker for her? ”

Concubine Zhuang smiled faintly: "This palace wants to, but she has to nod and agree." ”

Zhuang Yuexi was originally just testing her aunt, but she didn't expect to get this answer: "Auntie...... Who do you want to marry her? Big cousin? Or—"

Concubine Zhuang smiled silently.

Zhuang Yuexi's heart chuckled: "Auntie, you don't want to marry her to your brother and let her be my sister-in-law, right?" ”

The dealer has several sons-in-law, but only one is unmarried.

Zhuang Guifei did not admit it, nor did she deny it.

Zhuang Yuexi's eyes suddenly panicked: "Auntie, she is not worthy of her brother!" Is she a real daughter of the Hou Mansion, but just a peasant girl in the countryside, even if His Majesty canonizes her as the county lord, it is just a good reputation, and she doesn't even have a food town, what kind of county lord is it! ”

Concubine Zhuang stopped, the palace maids also stopped, and Concubine Zhuang stroked a four-season laurel in the basket: "The county lord is indeed not worthy, but what if ...... Did she become the lord of the county? ”

Zhuang Yuexi was stunned.

On the other side, Gu Houye was once again called by Zhao Shangshu to the main hall where he was handling official business.

Gu Houye has been scolded miserably recently, and he can't avoid another painful scolding in his heart.

However, to Gu Houye's surprise, Zhao Shangshu's expression was extremely soft, and he didn't look like he was going to scold him at all!

Gu Houye: Huh?

When Zhao Shangshu saw Gu Houye, he showed his first bright smile in a few months: "Gu Shilang, how are you doing today?" ”

Gu Houye was confused by the demeanor and tone of his boss, "whether you eat well, whether you dress warmly, whether it is inconvenient to travel, and whether the child has difficulty studying".

He didn't understand what was going on.

Zhao Shangshu personally pulled Gu Houye's wrist and invited the person to sit down on a chair.

Gu Houye looked at the hand holding him, and wanted to tell him that men and men could not kiss him!

Zhao Shangshu said with a smile: "You are really, you gave birth to such a promising daughter, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

Gu Houye was completely out of the situation.

Zhao Shangshu smiled and sighed: "You hide it from me so hard!" What is there to hide from such an important matter? ”

"I—What am I hiding from you?" Gu Houye was confused.

Zhao Shangshu said: "The people from the military department have come, and they asked me, was the bellows invented by your daughter?" ”

Gu Houye pointed at himself: "My daughter? ”

Zhao Shangshu frowned: "Don't you know yet?" ”

Gu Houye shook his head like a rattle.

Zhao Shangshu said: "Then let me ask you, do you have a daughter?" ”

Gu Houye nodded: "Yes." ”

Zhao Shangshu continued: "Last summer, were you and your daughter in Qingquan Town, Youzhou? ”

Gu Houye nodded again: "Hmm." ”

Zhao Shangshu said again: "Is your daughter Bingxue smart?" ”

Gu Houye nodded heavily: "Hmm!" ”

His Jinyu must be smart! Hit smart! If it weren't for the fact that women were not allowed to take the imperial examination, his Jinyu would at least be able to enter high school!

Zhao Shangshu slapped the back of his right hand to his left palm: "Isn't this over?" Who appeared in that town last year, apart from your daughter, is there any other Houfu daughter surnamed Gu? ”

When Gu Houye heard this, he understood what was going on, and he dared to be a clue to the little girl that the imperial court.

Can...... I haven't heard Jinyu say it!

Gu Houye was not so eager to take credit for himself, he decided to go back to the house first to ask Gu Jinyu about the situation.

The speed of fermentation of this matter was far faster than Gu Jinyu imagined, she only read the books of sages, and her ears did not hear anything outside the window, and she did not know what the invention of blower technology meant to Zhaoguo.

His Majesty seems to be calm, but in fact he almost became a fool.

Liang Guo's group of deflated calves and things, they only used a little inferior water drainage technology to replace their Zhao country's mines, although the two countries did not fight, but this breath is more unbearable than defeat.

Now it's okay, raise your eyebrows!

The six parts are also all swept by this technology, it can not only be used to make iron, but also to improve the quality of metallurgy, what is the Zhao country? Gold mines!

But then again, among the six countries, Zhao has the lowest level of productivity, so even if there are many mines, it is still a poor country.

Looking at the life of the common people, it seems that the life of the common people is good, that is, these two emperors are still conscientious, they did not wantonly oppress the people, and they also reduced a lot of taxes. The treasury is actually very poor, otherwise can you sell Guozijian's degree to Lin Chengye?

Half of the building donated by the Lin family to Guozi was taken into the treasury by His Majesty.

However, even though Gu Jinyu didn't know the movements of the imperial court and the six departments, she also experienced the changes in the people around her.

When she came back from the palace, the little maid informed her that the student of the women's school had come, and asked her how she was doing, and when she would go back to class?

Gu Jinyu has been recuperating at home for so long, and the female official doesn't come to the door early or late, but at this time, who can say that she was not instructed by the crown princess?

Could it be that the crown princess also heard about the bellows?

It's not surprising to think about it, Concubine Shu and Concubine Zhuang have heard about it, can the crown princess not hear about it?

After that, several daughters who had befriended her but were alienated by her background returned, and they came to visit her in the house, talking and laughing, as if the previous unhappiness had never happened.

Why is that?

It must have been their father, who was an official in the court, who sent them to her to find out the truth.

If she is really the inventor of the bellows, then no one can look down on her no matter how lowly she is, she has done a good deed for the benefit of the country and the people, and even His Majesty will lift her up.

But what if the real inventor escapes again one day?

Gu Jinyu was entangled.

When Gu Houye returned to the Hou Mansion, Gu Jinyu was sorting out his big box.

This box was full of small things she wrote and painted and made with her own hands, Yao didn't throw them away, and kept them for her.

She moved back to her yard and took out all the papers, wanting to see if she had ever been inspired by bellows.

"Jinyu, what are you doing?" Gu Houye entered the house, looked at the manuscript paper all over the ground, and asked curiously.

Gu Jinyu raised her slightly embarrassed face and said, "I'm looking for something." ”

"Looking for what?" Gu Houye walked in, "Dad will help you find it." ”

"Sketch." Gu Jinyu said, "It's a sketch that's similar to a bellows. ”

"You mean that?" Gu Houye bent over and picked up a drawing sandwiched in the pages, on which a crooked box was drawn in a very immature way, and there was something that I didn't know if it was a handle or a lever, and there were three or two layers below, which at first glance was really similar to the shape of the bellows.

Gu Jinyu didn't know what she had drawn.

But it's definitely not the bellows.

But...... It's far-fetched to go up, but it's really like the prototype of a bellows.

"Jinyu, did you really invent the bellows?" Gu Houye asked.

Gu Jinyu didn't answer Gu Houye's words in a hurry, but said, "Dad, what did the people from the Sixth Department say?" What clues did they find? ”

Gu Hou Ye said: "Let's just say that it is a girl surnamed Gu, who has something to do with the Hou Mansion of Ding'an, and should be the daughter of the Hou Mansion." Ah, by the way, fourteen or fifteen years old. ”

That's right, the military department has been to the front line after all, and there is an extra very useful age in the clues I heard.

This is basically the same as Gu Jinyu.

Gu Jinyu had a bold guess in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it, she went to Yao's courtyard.

Yao is making clothes for Gu Jiao.

"Mother." Gu Jinyu walked over, the excitement in her heart made her ignore the clothes on Yao's hand, she squatted down, grabbed Yao's hand and asked, "Has my sister been here recently?" ”

"What's wrong? Do you have something to do with her? Yao asked.

Gu Jinyu shook her head: "No, I haven't been to the girls' school for a few days, I haven't seen my sister, I want to ask her how she is doing." ”

The female school is next door to the medical hall, Gu Jinyu goes to school, and occasionally meets Gu Jiao, but the two basically do not communicate, except for the Zhuang sisters in the medical hall, no one knows that she and a medicine boy in a medical hall are sisters.

mentioned her daughter, Yao's eyebrows were full of doting: "Your sister is very good, but your brother-in-law has just finished the Spring Festival exam recently, and she is a little busy." ”

Gu Jinyu didn't care, what kind of good fame can a poor boy from the countryside take? Unlike King Anjun, he will definitely be able to take the first exam.

When King Anjun takes the first exam, he will give her hairpins.

"Are you feeling better? I heard that you entered the palace today. Yao said.

"I'm fine, I should have come to ask my mother for peace first, but Mama Qi urged me, so I had to go to see my aunt first, don't be angry with me."

"No, it won't." Yao said.

"By the way, mother, you didn't throw away my previous manuscript paper, right?" Gu Jinyu took out a few pieces of paper from her purse that she had scribbled on when she was a child, "It's the same as these." ”

Yao asked, "Didn't you take it all?" ”

Gu Jinyu said: "I mean the ones in the villa. ”

Yao explained: "These are the ones brought from the villa. ”
