Chapter 347: Rare is Expensive

Zhu Youqing's study.

The procession to send the emperor's Qianqiu Festival gift to Beijing was about to set off, but at this time, the main personnel in the palace did not know what the congratulatory gift was.

Zhang Zuo took out a wooden box and opened it in front of many palace officials.

After Zhu Youqi took out a glass marble from it, the people present knew that the original tribute to the emperor was actually a glass ball? !

"Lord Wang, this is a hundred glass beads made by Zhu Hao, which have sandwiches of various colors, meaning wealth and auspiciousness...... This...... Zhu Hao was dedicated to the palace and did not receive any money......"

When Zhang Zuo said this, he was stumbling and spitting, and his momentum was completely lost.

Many people present were snickering, King Xing asked you to prepare for a long time, but you took a bunch of glass balls to make up the numbers? It's also rich and auspicious, and it's not too cold to send this thing out.

Zhu Youqi was also frowning, and after carefully examining it, he asked, "Can such objects be used as congratulatory gifts to the Jingshi?" Will...... Sloppy? ”

Yuan Zonggao came out and said with a smile: "King Xing, the matter of the palace sending His Majesty's birthday gift should not be pinned on Zhu Hao alone...... In the light of the old age, it should be reconsidered. ”

Zhang Zuo smiled bitterly and asked, "Yuan Changshi, when has this happened?" Is it too late to think about it? ”

Tang Yin said curiously: "This glass bead is crystal clear, it is a rare wonderful product, rare in the world, why can't it be used as a tribute?" ”

Some people are looking at Tang Yin.

You Tang Yin really don't know?

Or pretending to be confused?

Jiang Lunxin was straightforward and said in public: "Mr. Tang, you can't have seen this thing, right?" Usually, Shizi and Zhu Hao are used as things for play, according to Zhu Hao...... This thing seems to be made of scraps from which glass mirrors are made, which ...... What can be so rare? ”

"Hahaha......"

Those officials of the Imperial Palace's Governor Shi Si originally looked at Tang Yin unpleasantly, so they naturally wanted to laugh at it when they heard it, so as to reflect the pleasure in their hearts.

Only then did Tang Yin understand.

It turns out that the reason why the people in the palace judge that the glass ball is not worth it is because they have all seen it, and they feel that Zhu Hao can make this thing casually.

But the problem is that even if the people in the palace have seen it, but the people in the people have not seen it, and the people in Jingshi naturally haven't seen it.

"In this way, there is also a jade Ruyi given by the emperor in the Treasure Pavilion in the backyard, and it can only be sent to the capital as a congratulatory gift at the moment." Zhu Youqi said.

Everyone present felt that this was not appropriate.

The jade Ruyi given by Emperor Xiaozong of Daxing, you are now going to give it to the current emperor as a birthday gift? This is not a gesture of borrowing flowers to offer Buddha to others, it is clearly to return the thing to its original owner!

But there is no better way to do it right now.

Yuan Zonggao, Zhang Zuo and Tang Yin did not express their opinions at the scene, others have to think about it, if they oppose it at this time, can they come up with something better as a tribute?

If you don't have an idea, you can only hold back the words!

"Then the matter is settled."

Seeing that no one objected, Zhu Youqi sighed and said, "Meng Zai, the matter of congratulating the Jingshi will be handed over to you." Let Luo Dianzhan walk with you. ”

"Yes."

Jiang Lun bowed down to receive the order.

Perhaps Princess Jiang intended to give this younger brother a chance to perform, and the matter of sending congratulatory gifts this time was still handed over to him, and the escort was still Luo An, who often did dirty work and worked tirelessly in the palace, and the tribute team was officially established.

……

……

Tang Yin saw King Xing, and when he went back to the school to look for Zhu Hao, he saw several children playing in the yard.

Zhu Si was holding a strange long strip-shaped object, and was blowing into the air, there were many crystal clear blisters in the air, emitting colorful light under the sunlight, Zhu San and Jing Hong next to him were clapping their hands and cheering, Yuan Rulin, who had basically never entered the palace after passing the government examination, was actually there.

Zhu Hao stood with his hands in his hands, while Jing Hong sat on the side reading a book......

The atmosphere in the courtyard was very comfortable, the child's innocence and vitality were revealed, and Tang Yin felt that he was much younger for a while.

"Play with me!"

Zhu San was begging his younger brother to give him good things.

Zhu Si hurriedly hid a tube of things behind his back: "Mr. is here." ”

Then several people looked at the door together, but saw Tang Yin standing there, with a smile on his face.

"It's time for class, let's all go in and prepare." Tang Yin said a word, and several children went to the house, and Tang Yin naturally left Zhu Hao behind.

Tang Yin asked, "What is the prince holding in his hand?" ”

Zhu Hao said casually: "It's the bubble water I made with soap foam......"

"Soap?" Tang Yin frowned.

"It's about the same as soap, but with the addition of the kind of powerful gunpowder that I used to make...... Don't worry, it won't explode, I'm just researching cleaning things that can wash hands and clothes, and it didn't work, so I made this thing by the way and used it for the world to play with. ”

Zhu Hao didn't seem to take the thing in front of him seriously.

Tang Yin sighed: "You have a lot of tricks, as soon as you have something good, you will bring it to the palace...... Do you know how much trouble you will get into with the marbles you offer as a tribute to the royal palace? ”

Zhu Hao asked curiously, "Trouble?" It took a lot of effort to make that thing, and it took a lot of thought to not cherish it, and it was just a trouble? ”

"Well, I won't tell you this." Tang Yin found that there was no need to entangle some trivial matters with Zhu Hao, so he immediately talked about the key points, "I heard that Zhang Changshi's team returning to Anlu has entered the Anlu realm, and it will arrive at the palace in two days after tomorrow." ”

"Oh."

Zhu Hao nodded.

Zhang Jingming ended his defense, and originally arrived in Anlu in mid to late August according to expectations, but now it has been delayed until early September, perhaps because there is something at home that has delayed, and then the imperial court has some special instructions for Zhang Jingming, or it is difficult.

In short, those people in the court who have prejudices against Xingwangfu don't want Zhang Jingming to return smoothly, thinking that this will give Xingwang more wings.

"Zhang Fengzheng specially told me, let me take you to the city gate to greet you in the next two days, and the Changshi Division will also send someone to ...... For the time being, I don't know if Yuan Changshi went to greet him in person. Tang Yin said.

Regarding the congratulatory gifts sent by Jingshi, Tang Yin didn't bother with it, and it had nothing to do with him.

The matter has been decided, and he has nothing to say to Zhu Hao.

Now he is more concerned about the fact that the relatively balanced pattern of the palace will be broken, that is, Zhang Jingming's return to the palace.

"Oh."

Zhu Hao nodded again.

Tang Yin waved his hand: "You can also go in and study, if it is not bad as expected, the new teacher will come with Zhang Changshi...... I also heard from the head of the palace, Shi Sizhong, who inadvertently mentioned that Zhang Changshi made a special trip to Guangxi and invited a local Confucian to come and serve as a teacher. In the future, you don't have to be distracted by the class, and you can prepare for the next year's college exam with peace of mind. ”

When Zhu Hao heard the news, his footsteps paused.

No wonder Zhang Jingming delayed returning to the palace for so long, it turned out that he went to ask a teacher halfway, but he didn't mention this matter to him or Tang Yin, and even Zhu Si didn't know.

In other words, it must have been Yuan Zonggao who secretly consulted King Xing, and then instructed Zhang Jingming to do so, the purpose was obviously to suppress Tang Yin and him Zhu Hao...... That's a bit of a stretch.

You have a long history of the palace, and you are over the age of six, why are you so small-bellied?

No wonder he died young.

……

……

Zhang Jingming returned to the palace, and even if Zhu Hao felt that he might have a challenge to himself, he was not too worried.

Although Yuan Zonggao is already an old dragon, in fact, Zhang Jingming is not much better, both of them are old guys who have spent half their lives in the palace...... A fourteen-year-old Zhengde and a first-year-old Jiajing have not been alive for a few years, so there is no need to worry too much about it.

Zhang Jingming's return to Anlu was on the ninth day of the ninth month of September, and the early morning of that day happened to be the day when Jiang Lun and Luo An and their entourage set off for Beijing.

Since this time it was not a heavy gift, the group rode horses, which would greatly shorten the time spent on the journey, and as soon as possible to arrive in Beijing around September 20.

Zhu Hao did not go to see off Jiang Lun that day.

He was going to the girls' school early in the morning to send his sister to school.

Recently, with the improvement of life at home, almost every day to see meat, Zhu Ting jumped suddenly, but still looks childish, but also afraid of life, usually except for the family, she has almost no chance to contact with outsiders, Zhu Hao on the road to her many advice, tell her to eat at noon in the school, get along with classmates, if there is trouble, go directly to Mr. ......

If it really doesn't work, I will notify the nursing home outside and ask them to bring a message home, or escort her home directly.

When she arrived at the school, Mrs. Gongsun personally came out to greet her, and she was greeted by Gongyeling.

"Xiaoting, these two are your future husbands, you have to study hard with them." Zhu Hao said with a smile.

"Hmm."

Zhu Ting's eyes widened, still a little scared.

Mrs. Gongsun said with a smile: "The younger sister of the little owner is really handsome, and in this school, she is also a small owner, and no one will bully her...... Everything is fine here, quiet surrounding. Small owners need not worry. ”

Originally, Mrs. Gongsun was very worried that the establishment of a women's school would cause some unpleasant social reactions.

Someone objected, or the uncle and aunt chewed the root of their tongue or something, or the parents of the female students were gossiped and scared for a long time, and then let their children take them back.

But who knew that she had been teaching here for half a year, and found that Zhu Hao did everything very well, first of all, these female students did not spend money on studying, and they could also receive money from their families......

Now the surrounding residents are rushing to send their girls to study.

However, because the scale of women's schools has always been small, there are not many students, only a dozen students at first, and now after the expansion, there are less than 30 students.

"Master, my sister has learned some words before, read the Female Filial Piety Sutra for a few days, and if there is something that can't keep up with the progress, she will have to worry a lot."

Zhu Hao didn't have the owner's frame at all, and sent his sister to Mrs. Gongsun with a smile.

Gong Yeling on the side looked at the little girl in front of him, and couldn't help but have a little jealousy in his eyes.

is also a girl, she didn't have Zhu Ting's treatment when she was young.

The family is rich and powerful, pampered, and can be sent to study...... And she can only do odd jobs now, and the people in the troupe began to squeeze her out, and she can't go back.
