Chapter 122: Architecture
He Mian'er knew what the outside world was talking about her, but the new emperor gave her such an outstanding treatment, but she was a little more at a loss in her heart.
In the past few days, people from the Ministry of Works have come to discuss with her about the construction of the princess's mansion.
Looking at the staggering area, He Mian'er couldn't help but be surprised. In the past few days, the new emperor has not looked like a tyrant, why is he so partial to himself, extremely luxurious.
He Mian'er thought of the outside world's evaluation of herself, "red face and trouble", and she was shocked into a cold sweat at the moment.
Thinking of danger in times of peace, she is now loved by the new emperor and does her best, but she doesn't know where to go in the future. Since ancient times, there have been a few powerful figures who have been able to die well.
At that moment, he immediately wrote a recital for the new emperor in the palace, and asked the eunuch on his side to submit it.
The recital reads: "Your Majesty has just been in charge of the government, and when you need to win the hearts of the people the most, you should pay a light amount of money, and it is not appropriate to build a large number of buildings at this moment, and work the people and lose money." Huaimian hopes that His Majesty will think carefully. ”
The word Huaimian made the new emperor ponder for a long time, and he couldn't help but hook up a long-lost smile at the corner of his mouth.
Huai Mian, Huai Mian, he set this title, and he thought about He Mian'er in his heart every day.
It's just that he has his own ideas. The gold mines found in the land of Qianzhong can be put into the treasury, but after all, this gold cannot be directly distributed to the people.
How to let the people have money to spend in their hands, the new emperor thought of this way.
Seeing that He Mian'er was unwilling at the moment, he didn't change his mind, and only said: "If you don't want to build such a large general's mansion, whatever you want to build, it's up to you." However, the treasury has already allocated the money, and it cannot be returned. ”
This reply is written in the daily vernacular, not like the recital given by the monarch to the courtiers, but the two of them are silently talking about the parents.
He Mian'er received the new emperor's reply, and was a little speechless for a while. However, she pondered for a long time, and at that moment she had summoned the officials of the Ministry of Industry to inquire carefully.
After the official left, he stayed in the room, took out his pen and ink, and silently drew some of his own thoughts.
For a moment, she seemed to have found some new pleasures, forgetting to sleep and eating, and even at night, she could not help but light an oil lamp, drawing her novel ideas at any time.
When Xu Yunqing returned to Beijing, she saw that the light in He Mian'er's house was on, but she slept at the table, and she didn't know what was pressed under her arm.
He took out the piece of paper and saw that she seemed to be drawing some kind of buildings and the like, and even gave these buildings names, such as "Biqing Pond" and "Tanmei Xiaozhu".
On his way back to Beijing, he had already heard about her being named the eldest princess, and the matter of building the princess's mansion was also well known.
He originally wanted to come back and persuade her, and wanted her to stay in the limelight, not to do such a showy thing on the cusp.
But seeing He Mian'er so dedicatedly drawing the construction map, for a while, she put away her heart of persuasion.
Since He Mian'er wanted this, she let her go. Even if there is nothing wrong in the future, with him here, he can protect her for the rest of her life.
Thinking of this, he lightly picked up the person in front of him and hugged her to the bed. The person in his arms is probably tired for a long time, and he is unaware.
Xu Yunqing knew that when her mother came to propose marriage that day, she was unhappy. He never knew what face to face He Mian'er.
Mother's words that day still echo in my ears. "Since she looks down on our Xu family, she won't want to come back if she has me for a day."
When my mother got older, she became a little more stubborn.
Although such a day is not above board, his heart is also happy. He had a faint premonition in his heart, if he stabbed it on the bright side, he was afraid that the two of them would come to an end.
The construction of the princess's mansion in Beijing has started in a grand way. On the day of the start of work, He Mian'er deliberately came forward and gave a few happy steamed buns to each of the nearby people who were present.
Although there are not many things, the people who came to see the start of construction were poor people, and everyone was happy at the moment.
The princess's mansion seems to be quite large, and not only in one place, but several places are started at the same time, and for a while, there are a lot of idle people in the capital, and everyone is competing to work, and they are in full swing.
A few scholars in the academy saw this scene. The pink-haired and white-faced scholar surnamed Zhang looked at the people who came and went with some envy: "If I can be the eldest princess's concubine, I will be glorious and rich, but I can get it at my fingertips." ”
The people next to him sneered: "I'm afraid it's okay to be a face, but if it's a horse, it's a little worse in appearance." ”
The surnamed Xiaosheng didn't care about everyone's ridicule at all, but said to the slightly poor scholar next to him: "Brother Shen, don't you also want to be the face of the eldest princess?" ”
But it turned out that this white-faced boy has always been quite confident in his appearance, and he is also very diligent.
But among the people, it is the poor and sour Shen Ji who looks the most Zhou Zheng, obviously this Shen Ji looks poor and sour, there is only a blind widow in the family, and she always wears a light blue robe that is about to turn white.
It's just that the ladies love Shen Ji's appearance, and they reject this white-faced boy four or five times out of ten, but they are very shy about Shen Ji.
Fortunately, Shen Ji's mind was all about reading, and what made him most hateful was that Shen Ji's reading skills were also excellent.
If it is the season of spring in the bright face, this Shen Ji will be admitted to the Jinshi in one fell swoop, where will there be a group of them in his eyes?
The little student surnamed Zhang knew this, so he loved and hated Shen Ji. On weekdays, I can't help but run on him more.
When Shen Ji heard this person humiliate himself like this, he immediately got up angrily and said, "If you want to eat soft rice and like such a bewitching woman who brings disaster to the country, you will go yourself." But don't pull me every day, I Shen Ji wants face, and I can't afford to lose this face. ”
This Shen Ji is a literati, and he is very angry about the eldest princess who appeared out of nowhere and is building a large number of buildings.
Besides, he had heard in private that the war before the border was also caused by this woman. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a demon queen of a troubled country.
After saying this, everyone around him laughed wildly. After all, they had long been unhappy with this surnamed Zhang, relying on a few stinky money in the family, they had no one in their eyes, and now they seized such an opportunity, so they took the opportunity to mock.
When the little student surnamed Zhang was said by Shen Ji, he felt that he couldn't hold his face and couldn't get off the stage.
At that moment, he said ruthlessly: "Shen Zhou, you wait, provoke the master, and tell you to go without food." ”
That Shen Ji turned a deaf ear to the threatening words of the surnamed Zhang, only looked at the building in front of him that was about to rise from the ground, sighed secretly, and silently recited in his heart: "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road." ”
For the demon queen of the calamity, I was a little disgusted in my heart.
After all, the former first emperor died after the construction of Na Fang Palace, but unfortunately, future generations mourned it and did not learn from it.
At the thought of this, he sighed heavily.
