Chapter 226: Seven Joys of Father-in-law
Coming back to his senses, Mingxiu shook his head slightly, "I don't know, it's just that this father-in-law is a little like an old man of mine." ”
This father-in-law of Qixi has a long inverted triangle face and a skinny figure, which coincides with the cartoon image of Qixi Kid.
This is the first time Mingxiu has seen the live-action version of the 7-Up Kid, she is just a little surprised, and she is already very calm without jumping.
The emperor glanced at Mingxiu suspiciously, planning to let her go for the time being, and ask again later.
Putting away the gaffe, the emperor looked at Qixi and instructed lightly: "Go and inform the Internal Affairs Office that the county lord of Showa is married, and let them add twice as much makeup to the county lord as usual." ”
If you want the royal Zhang Luo, although the dowry of the county lord is not as good as that of the princess, it is much better than most of the ladies of the noble family, and the emperor has to add twice it, even if the dowry of the Ming family is less, Mingxiu's ten-mile red makeup has no way to run.
Qixi was surprised by Mingxiu's favor, and looked at her carefully, "The slave obeys." ”
Mingxiu didn't know how much makeup was added twice as usual, and the emperor didn't really know too much, he just wanted to promote Mingxiu.
It can be regarded as giving Xie Zhan face.
He was very curious about the old man in Mingxiu's mouth, so he asked.
Not knowing how to explain it, Mingxiu stepped forward and borrowed a pen and paper to draw the appearance of the Seven Joy Boys.
In addition to the dress, the 7-up father-in-law and the 7-up kid on the paper are really exactly the same.
But that's not what the emperor cared about.
"It's so funny, I've never seen it before. But you're original? ”
Where is this style of painting that she is original, even if Mingxiu's face is thick, she will not accept this stalk.
"The emperor praised it, where can the courtiers have such ability?"
If you want her to say who initiated it, she didn't say it, and the emperor didn't want to ask, so he just glanced at her meaningfully.
"I know at this time, why the imperial brother has a deep affection for you."
If he has a talented and interesting woman who has made great contributions to the country, he must marry someone.
Mingxiu couldn't answer this, so he could only scratch his head and said with a dry smile: "Thanks to the prince, he doesn't dislike it." ”
Although she didn't know what happened between Mingxiu and Xie Zhan, her attitude was obviously not to mention it, this was a family matter between her and Xie Zhan, and the emperor didn't ask much.
"The plough cart and the method of raising the soil that you have offered have been popularized, but it is not used in the north, what good method do you have?"
For the northernmost part of the desert, Mingxiu knows a little bit, in her opinion, the kind of place where it snows for half the year is really not a farming, let alone a habit.
But there are a lot of people on the side of the life, basically they live by fishing and hunting, and they are often unclothed, like savages in the tribal period.
But even so, they were reluctant to move out.
For people today, it's hard to leave their homeland.
If it weren't for Mingxiu's grievances and insistence on staying there, plus some silver in his hand, Ming's father and mother would have said that they would not want to move, which is the same reason.
At this time, the emperor asked, Mingxiu's face was a little embarrassed, and he looked at him and stopped talking.
"You have something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Mingxiu pondered for a moment and said, "The courtiers think that the people in the northernmost part should live and work in peace and contentment, or can they develop the Tao?" It may be better to bring out the furs or curiosities that are scarce in the south, and to bring in the food they need, to help them build houses and things. ”
What made her strange was that although there were charcoal fires and kang beds in the desert, they were very unpopular, not to mention the poor people in the north, and even the slightly less prosperous people in the capital could not afford to use them.
And charcoal fires are very expensive.
The reason for this, Mingxiu thought, may be because the acquisition rate of charcoal fire is relatively low.
But she's not good at it, and she doesn't have a particularly good way to increase the yield of charcoal fires.
She's just an ordinary agricultural student.
There is really little understanding of the law of people's livelihood that is very important at this time.
The emperor thought that she could put forward any constructive suggestions, and shook his head in disappointment, "Your words have been put forward by people since the time of the emperor, but how easy is it to open up a business road?" ”
The most difficult thing is that the climate in the north is harsh, that is, the fierce desert men, and few are willing to run there, in case of extreme weather, it is a place to die without a burial.
The harvest is not proportional to the pay, and the business road will naturally not be opened.
Even if it is opened, there will still be private businessmen to go, but everyone does not have that condition.
Mingxiu scratched her head and stopped talking.
In fact, she had a vague idea in her heart, but it was not easy to talk to the emperor at this time.
Take a break.
She subconsciously felt that it was more appropriate to tell Xie Zhan about this than to tell the emperor.
Xie Zhan heard that Mingxiu had entered the palace, and pinched a little that it was time for her to leave the palace, so he entered the palace to look for her.
When he was introduced to the emperor's place, he saw Mingxiu sitting next to the emperor and talking happily.
His eyes were slightly deep, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Although Mingxiu is four years older than the emperor, this is nothing now.
Don't look at Mingxiu's appearance is not top-notch, but in fact, even if it is him, if Mingxiu doesn't marry, why is it because of his appearance?
is more because of her personality and ability, as well as her own charm.
He couldn't resist Mingxiu's charm even after reading a thousand sails, not to mention that the emperor hadn't seen a few women yet.
"See the Emperor."
Mingxiu was taken aback, she didn't even notice when Xie Zhan came.
After all, they were two brothers, and the emperor knew what he was thinking when he saw Xie Zhan's ugly face, and he suddenly realized at this time that Mingxiu was a woman, not a minister under him.
The emperor scratched his head embarrassedly, "Brother Huang is here to pick up Showa at this time." He gave Mingxiu a look, and quickly explained to Xie Zhan that this imperial brother was not easy to offend.
If he was to be remembered, the emperor would definitely be tossed hard.
Looking at the two brothers for some reason, Mingxiu didn't quite understand what kind of medicine they were selling in their gourd.
Xie Zhan bowed slightly, "It's time to leave the palace." Although he said it to the emperor, his eyes fell on Mingxiu.
He has already said this, as a good brother who is considerate of his brother, he will naturally not stay more Mingxiu.
But it was really comfortable to chat with Mingxiu just now, and the emperor was reluctant to look at her.
Soon, he noticed Xie Zhan's unkind eyes.
The emperor hurriedly turned his head away, not daring to look any more.
Out of the palace, Xie Zhan looked at Mingxiu with a deep look in his eyes, "You seem to be very close to the emperor." ”
"Not really." Although he was a little unhappy, Mingxiu would still explain the things that should be explained, "I just asked about the marriage given by the saint, and by the way, I asked him for some makeup." ”
It was the first time Xie Zhan had heard that someone had asked the emperor for something.
He looked at Mingxiu with a smile and a smile, "You still lack silver?" ”
If he remembered correctly, Mingxiu now has a lot of wealth in his hands, and if he talks about the balance of cash alone, he can't do it.
Whoever is short of silver, Mingxiu shouldn't be lacking, right?
At least as far as he knew, the money in Mingxiu's hand was enough for her and her family to squander for a lifetime, not to mention a silver-making machine like Mingji.
Will she be short of dowry?
Who would believe it.
"It's one thing to be lacking or not, and it's another thing to want or not." Mingxiu looked at him and said calmly, "The saint cheated me and secretly gave me a marriage to you, is it too much for me to ask for a dowry?" ”
Frowning slightly, Xie Zhan seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Mingxiu's description of marriage.
But he didn't refute, and said with a smile: "When you enter the door, the whole palace is yours, what else do you need to add to the holy makeup?" ”
The emperor's private treasury is not as rich as his, Xie Zhan couldn't help but feel a little proud.
It's not because of these things outside the body, but because of Mingxiu.
No way, who made her like money.
Mingxiu's eyes were faint, and he didn't seem to be happy for the rest of his rich life.
The money she earns herself can make her rich for a lifetime, and she doesn't need Xie Zhan to add bricks.
After being silent for a while, Mingxiu suddenly asked, "I heard that you have a winery under your name?" ”
"Seems to be." For the industries under his name, Xie Zhan mostly handed them over to his subordinates to operate, and he couldn't say all the specific industries himself, but he just had a vague impression.
At this time, when Mingxiu mentioned it, it occurred to him that there seemed to be such a thing.
Mingxiu bowed his head and thought about it in his heart.
“…… How much is your winery worth in silver? ”
"Why did you suddenly become interested in the winery? If you want it, give it to you. ”
The industry under his name is bright sooner or later, and it is not a big deal to give it in advance.
If it was something next to him, Mingxiu would not be polite to him, but she insisted on this matter.
"I'm trying to get a winery, but ......," she said, she shook her head at last, "if you don't pay for it, forget it, I'll go look for it." ”
