The day Wang Xifeng came to Xing Shuang to inquire was when Yuan Chun returned to the door. Jia Lian also returned to his home and entertained his brother-in-law Fang Zhouquan with his father.

Fang Zhouquan himself really deserves to be called a "talent", not only handsome, full of literary brilliance, but also humble and polite in his speech.

After Jia Lian drank a few glasses, he asked Fang Zhouquan what his plans were in the future, and Fang Zhouquan smiled and revealed that what he wanted to do was a career.

"Out of the office...... Jia Lian pinched the cup and sighed lightly: "This out of the world is certainly outstanding, but it lacks some freedom." ”

When Jia Liang saw his son say this, he knocked on his son's head: "You think everyone is like you, just want to play all day long?" ”

Fang Zhouquan hurriedly persuaded: "Uncle, don't be like this, uncle is not a gentleman, who in this capital doesn't know what uncle is capable of?" My father also wrote to praise my uncle, saying that he was a genius in the world. The firearm offered by the foreigner, not to mention the odd accuracy, could only hit the target within 100 meters.

"After my uncle and brother improved it, the fire gun he created could hit a target a few miles away, not to mention that it could shoot a target a few miles away, which was really amazing."

Jia Liang became a little proud when he heard this, and he also had a lot of good feelings about this thoughtfulness in his heart, so he made a few words to mention the current situation, so that he could take the test in the future.

Jia Lian took the opportunity to ask again: "I heard that you will live in Beijing for a long time from now on, and you won't even go back to Jinling?" ”

Fang Zhouquan said again: "If you can be like your eldest brother and be admitted to the top three, then you must serve in the Hanlin Academy for one year before you can be released." Now that there is still a year left in the temple test, the foolish brother thinks that he can stay for a few more years, so that he can ask his grandmother to see his family more. ”

Jia Liang laughed when he heard this, and the other party raised his glass and said, "Good boy, it is also her blessing that Yuan Yatou has found a responsible man like you." ”

Jia Lian also said happily: "Your family is in Liangjiang, and your family is in Jinling, which is far away. In the future, I will come to the house more often, and I will be accompanied by someone during the New Year's holidays. ”

Fang Zhouquan said "yes" repeatedly, and then drank with Jia Lian, Jia Liang and others, and drank until the evening.

Besides, Wang Xifeng talked for a while with Yuan Chun, Yuan Chun went back to Zhijietang with Wang, and Wang Xifeng followed Xing Shuang back to Qingyuanju, and asked his doubts.

Xing Shuang smiled after hearing this: "Nothing else, let me ask you, you only wore this new dress the first day, and someone wore the same one the next day, are you happy to see it?" ”

Wang Xifeng paused for a moment, pondered her mother-in-law's words carefully, and suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "The master is really powerful, and he can even know the woman's thoughts." No wonder they let me enter the palace to offer clothes, it should have been here. ”

Seeing that she understood, Xing Shuang didn't say much, just smiled and waited for the result.

On the first day of the seventh month, Wang Xifeng handed over the sign to enter the palace again, and after leaving the palace, she didn't know what she said, and the saint was called by the Queen Mother that night, and she had a headache all night.

Early the next morning, Jia Liang went to the court, and the consequences were unexpectedly left behind by the saint. As soon as I entered the imperial study, the fold was thrown over like a rain all over the sky.

"You! Don't know what to do day by day? ”

Jia Liang looked aggrieved, looked at the saint pitifully, and whispered, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with me?" ”

The saint looked at his cheeks and asked, "Didn't you teach your daughter-in-law and instigate the queen mother?" ”

Jia Liang knelt on the ground, his head banging: "Your Majesty Shengming, even if the minister eats the bear's heart and leopard gall, he won't dare to do this." The ministers are annoyed to death in their own homes, and do not do to others what they do not want, how can they come to bring disaster to Your Majesty. ”

The sage didn't believe it when he heard it, and sneered: "Didn't you teach your daughter-in-law what patents and copyrights?" These words are just what you made up when you hear them, and they don't look like them anymore. ”

Jia Liang raised his head and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, the ministers can't understand these two words you said!" What do you mean, please let Your Majesty explain. ”

The saint was stunned for a moment, tilted his head and thought about it, hissed, and a fold flew over again.

"You said how did you teach your son, you don't send a good national education, you have to send it to England! One day I learned some foreigners' things, and I came back to toss poorly! ”

Jia Liang hurriedly kowtowed again and again, and said while kowtowing: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, Your Majesty forgives your sins." The minister will go back and teach that stinky boy a lesson, if he doesn't learn, he will learn some crooked ways! ”

The saint rubbed his temples with a headache, could it be true that his heart was not taught by this kid Jia Yu?

Looking up and seeing Jia Yu kneeling on the ground and trembling, the saint sighed again in his heart, a little unbearable.

"Although you didn't teach it, it was also the trouble caused by your kid, and you solved it for me!"

Jia Liang trembled and asked: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, what do those two words mean, and what does Your Majesty want your ministers to solve?" ”

The saint sighed: "Last night, the queen mother complained to me, saying that your daughter-in-law had specially designed a dress for her, but within a month, the same style was sold everywhere outside.

"The queen mother also heard that there is a copyright in England, and no one else can copy it if it is designed. In short, it is to make no one in this world have clothes like her. Go back and ask your daughter-in-law, I don't understand. ”

Jia Liang hurriedly kowtowed a few more times, and repeatedly promised to go back to ask clearly, and submit a solution to it, and then retreated.

When he returned from the yamen that day, Jia Liang called Jia Lian back to his house, and the father and son were busy in the study of Rongxi Hall all night, and the next morning, Jia Liang deliberately did not sleep, staring at the two dark circles under his eyes and went to court.

When he was about to disperse, Jia Liang secretly gave the saint above a look, and the saint frowned and said, "Jia Aiqing, why is your appearance untidy?" ”

Jia Liang tilted his head, wondering what kind of wind the emperor was smoking, his clothes were well dressed, where was his appearance untidy?

The sage saw that Jia Yu didn't understand, and reminded again: "I look haggard, hum, I didn't do anything good last night!" ”

Jia Liang finally "understood", and quickly knelt down and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister passed by the Ministry of Industry a few days ago, and saw that everyone in the Ministry of Industry worked very hard every day, and I couldn't help but feel unhappy for the people of the Ministry of Industry.

"Most of the objects in this world come from the Ministry of Industry. But the Ministry of Industry has built it and been learned, and it is very difficult for the Ministry of Household to recover the cost.

So the minister thought, why not legislate to prohibit others from copying the efforts of craftsmen, firstly, to prevent the apprentices of this church from starving to death of the master, and secondly, to prevent craftsmen from being afraid of being stolen and not daring to innovate."

The saint coughed dryly, and asked mercilessly with joy in his heart: "Legislation again?" Are you idle and have nothing to do? ”

Jia Liang quickly straightened up and began to brainwash seriously.
