Chapter 227: Calculating the Emperor

Song Mu and Zhou Anxu returned to the dynasty and reported their achievements for more than a year to the emperor, and the emperor was furious, not only giving them a large number of rewards, but also giving them actual officials.

Zhou Anxu is the son of the world, and his official position is secondary, and the emperor gave him a blank holy decree, which is the first case of the founding of the Great Zhou State.

Song Mu was promoted to the general of the second rank, and at the same time, Song Lu and Hang Kite both became the second rank of the wife because of Song Mu's promotion.

The holy decree was promulgated by the dynasty, and the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were not clear, but the emperor did not say anything, and those who knew each other kept their mouths shut, and the emperor who did not know the face asked them to see the results after three months, and they could only shut up for the time being.

On the same day, the queen summoned Song March into the palace to speak, and gave a reward, of course, because Zhou Anxu's recipe was the dowry she brought, which made Song March grateful and more grateful to Song Xingchen for her kindness.

Under the queen's side knock, Song March did not hide the truth, "It's not that the nephew and daughter-in-law deliberately conceal it, it's really that the little sister doesn't want to be in the limelight, and wants to borrow An Xu's hand to do her part for the country." Xiaomei once told her nephew and daughter-in-law that this cement can not only be used to strengthen the city wall, but also can be used to build houses, especially buildings, which do not need to be repaired for many years, and do not have to worry about fire or floods. ”

"Really?" The queen was overjoyed.

"That's what Xiaomei said." Song March nodded, "My little sister will never say anything, let alone lie to me, so my nephew and daughter-in-law believe her." ”

"Your little sister is smart, even those scholars in the court don't have her ability, if she is a man, she must be a pillar of the court. Hongu was a little curious about how she had so many novel ideas. The queen said tentatively without a trace.

Song March smiled with honor, did not understand what the queen meant, and replied: "My little sister has a lot of ideas since she was a child, and she likes to do experiments, in fact, this cement is also the result of her inadvertently discovered, the reason why it has not been announced, one is that I feel that such a big benefit, it is difficult for the Song family to do it alone, popularize the world, and benefit the country and the people." The second is that the foundation of the Song family was too shallow in the past, and it will definitely be used or taken away by people with intentions, and I dare not imagine what the consequences will be at that time. Now that her nephew and daughter-in-law have married into the royal family, Xiaomei feels that the time is ripe, so she let her nephew take advantage of it and get such a precious dowry. ”

Looking at Song Yueyue's sweet smile, even if the queen wanted to dig deeper, she was embarrassed to say it, and sighed in her heart: Sure enough, it's not a family that doesn't enter the door, the people in this Rui Wangfu are all so mellow and caring for their families.

"The county lord of Anran contributed this recipe, and the palace should reward her heavily, if all the women in the world are like her, no one will dare to look down on women." The queen sincerely appreciated it, and asked again: "The palace is a little curious, the county lord of Anran gave you such a heavy dowry, and your second sister got married on the same day, what kind of dowry should be given?" ”

Song March twisted her handkerchief, looking embarrassed, just when the queen thought she wouldn't speak, Song March said: "I heard the second sister mention that the little sister gave her the fairy water given to her by her teacher to the second brother-in-law, hoping that the second brother-in-law can use it to save more people's lives." However, the contribution of the immortal water has yet to be discovered, and it is only known that it can increase the efficacy of the medicine several times, so the second brother-in-law is still researching. ”

"Fairy water?" The queen was slightly excited.

"Xiaomei said that it was her name, and her master said that if you take a drop of the water into the medicine, it can multiply the effect, so you must not fall into the hands of the gangsters, otherwise the consequences are unpredictable." Song March explained.

"In this way, it's a good thing, and the county lord of Enron is really willing to do it." The queen's hand tightened, but she didn't continue the topic, and her expression was already different from before.

"Yes, Xiaomei has always been very generous to her family and friends. Actually, my little sister also gave me a few drops, and also prepared a copy for the princess, saying that she would add makeup to the princess when she got married. Song Yueyue's tone was very natural, no one could have thought that someone had taught her to say this, "Aunt Huang, can you please keep it secret for your little sister?" If it is known that she has such a baby, it will definitely harm her, I think the imperial aunt is her own family, and she will not harm the little sister, so I will tell the truth. ”

The queen was a little uncomfortable by Song Yueyue's sincere eyes, but she nodded in response.

Song March went out of the palace with the reward, ordered someone to send things back to the Rui Wang's Mansion, and he went to the Song family, not knowing that after she left, the emperor came out of the inner room, apparently overhearing her conversation with the queen.

"The emperor thinks that the fairy water is really just what March said?" After the queen saw the ceremony, she asked the question in her heart, and knew that the emperor would definitely care more about the fairy water than about the cement at the moment.

The emperors of all dynasties and dynasties did not want to live forever, but Ming Jun would not believe in cultivation methods such as immortal elixir, but it does not mean that he did not pursue it.

"I will send someone to investigate this matter, and the queen doesn't have to interfere, so as not to lose her trust." The emperor was silent for a while before he spoke, but his slightly drooping eyes obviously hid his thoughts, "Song March said just now that the county lord of Anran prepared a fairy water for Zhaoyang, which shows that the weight of this fairy water is not a lot, and the county lord of Anran does not take it very seriously, it should not be too unusual, but it is also a piece of her mind to be so concerned about Zhaoyang, you don't have to be too restrained in Zhaoyang in the future, let them move around more." ”

"Yes." The queen lowered her eyes in response, but her heart was a little cold.

The emperor's intention couldn't be more obvious, this is to use Zhou Jin to get immortal water, and immortal water can really make people immortal, so what will be Zhou Feng's future?

The queen quickly calmed down, smiled and changed the topic: "Just now, the concubine promised to reward the county lord of Anran, and the emperor can't let the concubine take it from the private treasury, after all, the county lord of Anran has done a good thing for the country and the people, and the emperor should say something about it." ”

The emperor laughed out loud, looking at the smile of the queen when she got married, Long Xin waved his hand happily: "The queen just go to my private treasury to select, and send it in the name of Zhaoyang, if there is something the queen likes, the queen can just move to your palace, how about it?" ”

"Concubine thank the emperor for the reward." The queen stood up and saluted, and the moment she bowed her head, her smile was replaced by sadness.

Song March came to Song's house, talked to Song Lu and them, and then directly pulled Song Xingchen away, and the sisters whispered behind closed the door.

recounted the conversation that went to the queen, and Song March was not even half a point off in tone, so that Song Xingchen had to sigh that Song March, who had such a good memory, was so slow in many things, and sure enough, there was only a thin line between a genius and a fool.

"Little sister, why did you teach me those words? No, how did you know the Queen would ask me that? Song March blinked with big eyes and a curious look of the baby's state.

"Guess with my clever head!" Song Xingchen grinned, and did not answer Song March's question positively, and said with Tai Chi: "Third sister, your head is suitable for thinking about some food, just leave such a complicated problem to it, our restaurant has not had a new recipe for a long time, and then it will be compared to the Qin family and the Du family, haven't you noticed that this month's income has shrunk?" ”

"Really? I don't even look at the ledger, and my mother didn't tell me. Song Yueyue stood up, completely forgetting the purpose of his coming to Song Xingchen, "No, I have to think of some new dishes, and I can't let the Qin family and the Du family take the limelight." ”

Song March left in a hurry, and the smile on Song Xingchen's face gradually faded.

Ye Lang, who was hiding in the inner room, stepped forward to close the door, turned around to Song Xingchen, and stretched out his fingers to rub the folds of her eyebrows.

"Wrinkle it again, be careful to grow old before you get old." Yelang said softly.

"You are so bold that you dare to come to the door in broad daylight, is it really that there is no one in my Song family?" Song Xingchen pretended to be angry and glared at Yelang.

"That's not as bold as you, even the emperor dares to calculate." Yelang smiled dotingly, sat beside Song Xingchen, and played with her soft fingers, "For the sake of your family, you really dare to do anything, aren't you afraid that you will play big?" ”

"It's a big deal to take your family and hide in the space, even if the emperor can't help me, what am I afraid of him doing?" Song Xingchen pouted, his face was full of indifference, and he snuggled in Yelang's arms and said: "I just want someone to protect the second sister and them, but for some reason, my eyelids have been jumping recently, as if something bad is going to happen." I can't protect my family very well, but as long as we have what the emperor wants, he will spare no effort to protect us. ”

"You, obviously a little woman, but you have the courage not to lose your son. One day the emperor really comes to you and asks you for fairy water, I'll see what you should do. Yelang nodded Song Xingchen's eyebrows.

"Then give it to him, one bucket is not enough for two, if it really doesn't work, I'll find a spring and put more in the ground, just enough to fool the emperor." Song Xingchen is very generous.

Thinking of Song Xingchen's magical space, Yelang no longer dwelled on this topic, after all, what Song Xingchen said also made sense.

"It's just that I used the princess, and I was a little unhappy in my heart, but I really prepared a dowry for her, and this is not half a fake." Song Xingchen sighed.

"The princess knows, and she won't be angry with you, she treats you sincerely, and she understands that you don't mean to hurt her." Yelang comforted: "Moreover, if the princess really becomes your sister-in-law, she will also be the Song family in the future, which is another layer of protection for the Song family, and you will also make the princess live happily, this is what it means." ”

"Haha, it turns out that my Yelang also likes gossip, and he even knows this." Song Xingchen's mood instantly improved.

Song Xingchen's sentence My Yelang said that her heart was full of joy, Yelang lowered her handsome face, and dropped a kiss on her lips, and just wanted to go deeper, she heard the voices of strawberries and apples talking.

"Miss is in bed again, and yesterday she told me to wake her up early, saying that I was going to check how the new batch of fruit vinegar was going, but I couldn't get up after calling it several times, shouldn't it be uncomfortable?" Strawberry said worriedly.

"You were so careless, why didn't you tell me earlier? In case the young lady is sick, go to the housekeeper to receive the punishment yourself. Apple reprimanded him unhappily.

Looking at Yelang's dark face, Song Xingchen chuckled unkindly, quickly dropped a kiss on Yelang's thin lips, and said in a low voice: "Go and wait for me inside, I'll send those two little girls away first, good girl." ”
