Chapter 607: The Finale
Xia Yanqing was holding her son, who had just turned one year old, but when the emperor came, she still had to kneel to greet her.
And her son, who was very young, also had to kneel.
Fortunately, this is an ancient time, and usually, when a child can stand and walk, he has already begun to teach him to bow to his elders.
Especially now, everyone is kneeling on the ground, when Xia Yanqing put Brother Wen on the ground, the little guy doesn't need to be taught, his eyes are dripping around, and he also learns from others, kneeling beside Xia Yanqing.
A small lump and very cute.
Just as everyone inside and outside was kneeling, the emperor and his party walked in in a big way. Immediately following the emperor was the grandson.
Taisun is now an eleven-year-old boy, with a calm and calm demeanor, and an atmosphere that surpasses his peers.
Xia Yanqing secretly glanced at the emperor and the others out of the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. No wonder people are rushing to become emperors, this kind of scene where people will crawl wherever they go, can make people feel like they are above all living beings.
When the emperor entered the door, he looked at the Shao family hall with great interest, and his eyes swept over everyone.
There are so many people who come to the Shao family to congratulate him, and the emperor only knows a few.
Although many people are willing to show kindness to the Shao family and the Xia family, Shao Yi's official position and seniority are placed there, and many prominent families come forward, most of the male guests are children of the family, and the female guests will let the female relatives of some ages in the family come forward.
With such a scene, it was naturally inconvenient for Xia Ke to come, but the Xia brothers were all present.
When Taisun walked past Xia Han just now, he nodded at him very calmly.
The emperor swept over the people present, and his gaze stopped on Shao Mu for a moment.
His memory of this woman is still stuck in the time when she was a dancer in Prince Zheng's mansion. At that time, she was not the only dancing girl in the palace, and if it weren't for Prince Xiang's begging, he wouldn't even have much impression of this woman.
After so many years, although this woman has passed away, she does not have the slightest sense of thinness from a low background, but blends in very well among several high-status female relatives.
The emperor swept the congratulatory people and the furnishings in the house one by one before taking a seat on the throne.
"Get up." The Emperor said.
In view of such a large number of people, with the respect of the emperor, it is impossible to open his throat and shout. So, a little eunuch took a step forward and repeated loudly: "Flat." ”
As the sound fell, there were all kinds of noises inside and out, and everyone got up from the ground one after another.
Xia Yanqing stood up and held his son in his arms.
Since he chose this day to come, the emperor's attention naturally fell on Shao Zhewen's child, and he beckoned in this direction: "Brother Wen, right?" Hold it up and show me. ”
Shao Yi was already standing beside Xia Yanqing, and when he heard the emperor's words, he hurriedly took his son and sent it to the emperor.
Shao Zhewen's children have a father who has dominated the capital for more than ten years, and a mother who is from a thousand years later and doesn't pay much attention to the rules. Although he was not very sensible at this time, he was influenced by this, and he had a spirit of not being afraid of heaven and earth.
As soon as the emperor put him on his lap, he jumped and waved his hands, "oh, oh, ah", and the emperor came to a loud communication.
"Huh," the Emperor smiled dumbly, "such a great boy." ”
Shao Yi on the side wiped his sweat: This kid, so many people look at his occasion, the emperor is born with his own prestige, he is not afraid.
It seems that I will have to be diligent in the future. If you continue to do this and grow up, you might get into some trouble.
Everyone in the room was dumbfounded, what kind of luck is this kid? The child who can be held in the emperor's arms, so noisy, the emperor is quite happy, how much grace does this have?
The emperor not only held Shao Zhewen's child in his arms, but also followed the child's meaning, and also communicated with the child "oh oh ah".
It wasn't until the eyes of the people inside and outside were red that the emperor craned his neck to look at the huge table in the center of the hall.
"This is to catch Zhou, right?" The Emperor asked.
Shao Yi bowed down and replied, "Yes, it hasn't started yet." "So, you are worthy of being a real man, and you are just right to catch up.
The emperor stood up with Wen Ge'er in his arms, "Look, what did you put for Wen Ge'er?" ”
Xia Yanqing's heart was raised, emperor, will your old man hold a child? Don't drop her son.
The daughter-in-law was worried, Shao Yi naturally knew each other very well, and hurriedly stepped forward and said to the emperor very compassionately: "This kid is weird, let's hold it." ”
The emperor didn't insist, handed Brother Wen to Shao Yi, and paced to the table.
There is a dazzling array of dishes on the table, some of which are prepared by home, and some of which are added by guests. I don't dare to say that there is everything, and it means good things, but it is not bad.
"You're fine." The emperor was not satisfied.
Now, not only Shao Yi wiped his sweat, but everyone present was sweating: It's nothing, what else do you want?
The Emperor does have something.
The people made a gesture behind him, and Sun Congshan took a box.
The emperor took Sun Congshan's hand and opened the box, and the contents of the box were displayed in front of the people.
Everyone was staring at the emperor's movements, and when the emperor disliked Shao Yi for having nothing here, everyone was looking forward to what the emperor would add.
And then...... The big guys saw it......
No...... No way? We're dazzled, aren't we?
Yes, it must be dazzling!
There is no need to rehearse in advance, and there is no need to discuss in private, most people are in a uniform action - rubbing their eyes.
A small number of people blinked wildly. It must be that they blinked the wrong way, so there was a hallucination of what they saw.
…… It's just a child's Sunday feast, how can there be such an exaggerated thing? No way!!
Among the people present, the only people who knew that the emperor would give the Shao family a card to avoid death were Shao Yi and his wife and Xia Zixi brothers. It's just that they didn't expect that the dead-free card would appear in such a way.
The emperor looked at Shao Yi, who was stunned, and asked, "Cheng'an probably recognizes it, right?" This is a dead-free card, do you want it? ”
Shao Yi looked embarrassed, if you don't want it, you old man has brought it, do I dare to say no?
He only dared to complain in his heart, and the embarrassment on his face was put away in an instant, and he hurriedly lifted his robe and knelt on the ground: "Weichen Xie Your Majesty Longen." ”
Xia Yanqing and Shao Mu, who was standing on the other side, also knelt on the ground. Even with it, the descendants of the Shao family also knelt down in a large area.
Shao Zhewen's child already had experience, so he didn't hesitate at all, and knelt on the ground with difficulty. But he didn't bow his head in a proper manner, but raised his head and looked at the emperor with big black eyes, which was about to be very strange, this old man's special hobby of making people kneel at every turn.
The emperor and the little guy looked at each other, turned to the grandson on the side and smiled: "Look at this kid, it's interesting, right?" You weren't as bold as he was when you were a kid. ”
Taisun's face was still calm, and he smiled "um", but his eyes looked at Xia Han.
He felt that he had to sum up with Xia Han well, Shao Zhewen, a kid, had to focus on discipline and couldn't let it go.
In the future, it will not be Shao Yi who will hold this death-free card to show off his might, but the kid in front of him who can't walk steadily.
He heard that Shao joined the army earlier, and he was a tyrant in the capital. If Shao Zhewen, a kid, learned his father's arrogance, and then had her mother's talent, holding the death-free card, he, who was the emperor, would be troubled.
Xia Han looked back at him very innocently, it's right for a boy to be bold. He thinks his cousin is very cute.
After the emperor teased the grandson, he had straightened his complexion, and said solemnly to everyone present: "Since Qingyunzhai produced glass six years ago, in less than seven years, glass has driven many sources and auxiliary materials industry, providing thousands of opportunities for many people.
In the process of glass production, in order to improve the efficiency of transportation, Qingyunzhai has developed a four-wheeled carriage, so that the bearing technology is applied to a variety of industries; In order to reduce the cost of glass manufacturing and benefit the people, Qingyunzhai found the Wujin stone mine, so that the Wujin stone has been applied in many industries.
All kinds of glass products and glaze under the name of Qingyun Zhai, as well as the glass mirrors of the Shao family Ming Jingtang, let the countries near and far spend huge sums of money to buy, so that the commerce and trade of the Liang Dynasty showed an unprecedented prosperity.
In view of the increasingly strong financial resources of Qingyun Zhai, in order to ensure that it can operate safely in the future, and also to reduce the worries of the imperial court, the Shao family is specially given a side to avoid death. And starting from the son of Shao Yi, the five generations of the Shao family are only engaged in business, and are not allowed to enter the court as officials. Five generations later, the Shao family returned the card to the imperial court, and the imperial court canceled the official career constraints. ”
After the emperor finished speaking, Sun Congshan waved his hand, and two eunuchs around him stepped forward, one holding a card to avoid death, and the other holding a scroll of holy decrees.
The holy decree was opened, and what was written on it was exactly what the emperor had just said.
Shao Yi and Xia Yanqing hurriedly got up, took the death-free card and the holy decree, knelt down again, and thanked them solemnly.
Everyone was stunned, this is the emperor's concession to the Shao family, in order to make Qingyun Zhai run smoothly, and at the same time not to threaten the imperial court due to huge financial resources, so the Shao family was given a free death card, and the five generations of the Shao family were additionally restricted from entering the office.
In the history of various dynasties, the only people who can make the emperor give such special treatment are the Shao family and the Xia family today, right?
When many people looked at Shao Yi and his wife again, they were still quite unhappy. Since it is restricted from entering the office, Qingyunzhai's financial resources are strong enough now, why not let Shao Yi resign now and become his rich man?
Next, it was Shao Zhewen's children's Zhou arrest ceremony, the emperor stood beside Shao Yi very casually, and tried to ask: "Or, put the holy decree and the death-free card on it, and see if your kid has eyesight?" ”
Your Majesty, are you joking? Right, yes? Shao Yi immediately sweated: "Your Majesty, the imperial relics, it's not such a child's play, right?" ”
He figured it out, or with the card of avoiding death, it was more appropriate for the family to enjoy wealth and prosperity.
The career is just a matter of learning and excellence, and the students study hard, and the ultimate goal is to become an official, but also to live a prosperous life.
His family has a card to avoid death, and he has an identity. There is also Qingyun Zhai, and there is wealth, which is enough.
The Death Plate and the Holy Decree were indeed a rarity in the eyes of his son. But what if that kid just doesn't take the usual path and doesn't take these two things?
When the time comes, will it be possible for the emperor to take back the death-free card? Even if the emperor was willing, he was not willing.
Shao Zhewen's performance is very unsuccessful, but it is also very satisfactory to the big guys.
He picked and went, picking a thinner book. Then, in everyone's jaw-dropping, they wrapped two ingots of gold and silver indiscriminately, making everyone's jaws drop.
Shao Yi took the ingots in his son's hand and gave him a brain run with disgust.
Xia Yanqing pushed Shao Yi's hand away, gave him a roll of his eyes, and picked up his son. What's wrong with that? It's nice to be able to read and make money.
The emperor gave the Shao family a lot of face, and after catching the week, the first birthday banquet began, and the emperor was happy to be there, tasted a few special dishes, and then put aside the chopsticks and left.
This scene is exactly the same as when Shao Yi got married, Sun Congshan came to cheer. Only this time, it was the emperor who came in person, and the emperor's grace was even greater.
It is conceivable that when Shao Zhewen grew up, he already had a lot of capital that was much higher than his peers.
The emperor wanted to drive back to the palace, and of course everyone present left the table to send off His Majesty the Emperor.
Outside the gate of the Shao family, the emperor looked back at the crowd behind him, and then looked at the four cheesy words on the door of the Shao family: family and industry.
In the sound of congratulations, he boarded the chariot and drove back to the palace.
No matter how high the temple is or how far away the rivers and lakes are, there are not many people who know the true value of the Xia family.
In recent years, the Liang Dynasty has occupied an absolute advantage in the border passes. But few people in the world know that this is the work of the Xia family.
The Great Liang Dynasty has discovered three rich reserves of Wujin stone mines, but as the excavation deepens, the underground water seepage is serious, making the excavation project deadlocked.
When people were helpless, it was also Xia who gave Fang Chaosheng guidance, using the principle of the air induction mechanism of the smoke exhaust system of the pool kiln, and after making some changes, the stagnant water at the bottom of the coal mine was successfully pumped out continuously, ensuring the continuous mining of Wujin stone.
On the bookcase in his imperial study, in a box that Xia called a glasses case, there was a pair of things called glasses.
His increasingly blurred vision, and after putting on his glasses, the handwriting on the fold became extremely clear, making him feel as if he was ten years younger.
It's just that such a convenient artifact is similar to the lens of a telescope. In order to keep the telescope secret, it could not be promoted, so he could only make two pairs, both of which are now on his desk.
When the secret of the telescope can no longer be kept, glasses can be widely used, and the vision of the old and deaf can be cleared again.
He waited for the Xia clan to shine in the years to come, and whether it would make his eyes shine and make the prosperity of the Great Liang Dynasty more brilliant.
It's just a dead-free card, and compared to the value of Xia's, the dead-free card is not worth mentioning.
