Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Cocoon and a Little Expert
Back in Kunning Palace, Hua Houwei washed up a little, and after eating, he fell asleep. Wang Zhi ran to continue tossing the heating after eating.
Three days later, Huahou Weixing rushed to follow Wang Zhi and went straight to Cining Palace. Outside Cining Palace has become a large construction site, Hua Houwei circled around the earthen boiler a few times, and felt very satisfied. The boilers are all made of iron plates, the joints are all riveted, and the gaps are all sealed with soldering and fire cloth. The boilers are all refractory bricks made of refractory clay, and the pressure gauge is made by the silver bureau, and the sensitivity is not bad after several tests.
"Well, not bad! Wang Zhi, have you tried it? ”
"Your Highness, it's been burning for two days, and there's no problem! This heating is really good, Your Highness, can I get a set for your house? Wang Zhi's bloodshot eyes were full of excitement, if nothing else, His Highness seemed to feel more reliable than before.
Hua Houwei shook his head and smiled slyly: "The order is wrong." It should be my beloved mother, my dear prince, my hard-working cabinet, oh, and my father, the most honorable emperor in the world, and I am the last! ”
Xu Deqiang ran over: "Your Highness, Your Highness, what do you think you still need to pay attention to?" ”
"Well, nothing else. That is, when the pipe fittings are connected, wrap the fine linen without glue. You're all experts, so I won't mess around, just wait for a while to run and see the effect! ”
"Well, then! Absolutely! ”
Empress Dowager Zhou made room for these construction workers and simply came out to bask in the sun. Seeing Hua Houwei at a glance, he greeted with a smile: "Wei'er, come here!" ”
Hua Houwei trotted over and showed off loudly: "Ancestor, I'll let you feel it later, what is spring-like warmth!" ”
Empress Dowager Zhou grabbed Hua Houwei's little hand and giggled: "Okay!" After a while, the ancestors will feel the feeling! Oops, how do you think this brain grows? Much more talented than those champions! ”
"What's that? Champion? Hum! That's it! Hey? I think about it, I dreamed of a book, it's very funny, do you want to read it? ”
Empress Dowager Zhou shook her head: "No, the ancestors are almost blind, and they can't read books!" ”
Hua Houwei's eyes rolled, he broke free from the hand of the Empress Dowager Zhou, and beckoned Xu Deqiang: "Old Xu, have you heard of the story of Journey to the West?" ”
"I've heard of it!" Xu Deqiang's words made Hua Houwei's heart cold for a while, but then Xu Deqiang's words made him smile again, "Isn't it just about the monkey borrowing a banana fan?" This monkey is so true that he doesn't even let go of his sister-in-law! ”
Hua Houwei understood that "Journey to the West" is a collection of folk tales and is not original. Now rest assured! He interrupted Xu Deqiang, who was gushing and obscene: "Come on, go find a table, a piece of shocking wood, the master wants to tell the ancestor!" ”
After a while, the table and the shocking wood were ready, Hua Houwei coughed, walked behind the table, picked up the shocking wood, and snapped: "It is said that a long, long time ago, there was a blessed land cave in Dongsheng Shenzhou..."
Empress Dowager Zhou couldn't laugh, Hua Houwei was not as high as the table, so he could only stand on the stool and tell the story, looking too funny. Gradually, as Hua Houwei's immature voice frustrated with yin and yang, the Empress Dowager Zhou was immersed in the story. Not only the Empress Dowager Zhou, but even Su Mei and Lamei, who were serving beside her, listened attentively to Hua Houwei's story.
"Well, speaking of which, I'm thirsty, so let's listen to the next breakdown! Ancestor, how's it going? ”
"Don't come down! Su Mei, you lazy girl, pour tea for Wei'er, don't want to hear it? Empress Dowager Zhou sternly refused, and immediately instructed Su Mei to pour water.
Only then did Hua Houwei find that there was a circle of people around him, and even the eunuchs and craftsmen who were working listened to him in the name of rest. Hua Houwei was shocked: "Hurry up and work!" This book is long! Listen to it later. ”
Xu Deqiang begged: "Your Highness, this Journey to the West is so good, if you tell me where you heard it, we can also find a way!" ”
"I said that I dreamed of it, how can there be outside? Hehe, forget it, this kind of profitable business is still left to the company. Ancestor, what do you say? Hua Houwei enjoys this feeling very much, and it seems that vigorously developing the cultural industry is also a good means to fly in a small amount of money.
Empress Dowager Zhou is very satisfied, this kid is okay, she hasn't forgotten the two uncles. So he smiled and said, "It's up to you, then you can write it at night." Now, stand up and say! ”
"Oh, right now, right away!" Hua Houwei shrank his neck, smiled, and drank the tea in the blue and white porcelain teacup with his neck up, snap! Another shot of shock: "This Monkey King from the three-star cave of the oblique moon..."
Another hour passed, the heating pipes had been completely installed, and the sky was gradually darkening, Empress Dowager Zhou just refused to let Hua Houwei go, and insisted on keeping him for dinner, claiming that she would sleep here at night. Huahou Wei, who was smoking, drooped his head and called Wang Zhi: "Wang Banban, you go to Kunning Palace to sue my mother, don't go back to eat." Got it? ”
Wang Zhi nodded, and went straight to Kunning Palace non-stop. The hall has long been cleaned up, and the heating has begun to run on a trial basis. After staying for a while, Empress Dowager Zhou exclaimed in surprise: "Yo? It's really warm as spring! Wei'er, tomorrow I will ask your two uncles to rent a shop. Oh, this monkey and the giant spirit god..."
Hua Houwei raised his head weakly: "Old Ancestor, you can have pity on me!" I'm only one year old! You can't squeeze child labor. ”
Empress Dowager Zhou laughed: "Quick! Serve the food and make up for the good grandson. Wei'er, your journey to the west is like a small hook, which makes people scratch their hearts and lungs uncomfortable. I can't blame me! ”
In a matter of moments, the table was full of dishes. Hua Houwei is really hungry, a pair of chopsticks fly up and down, making people dizzy, a small mouth is non-stop, and the small belly is bulging, just like Zhu Bajie's belly.
After eating and drinking, Hua Houwei burped, and was racking his brains to find a way to slip away. Empress Zhang is here!
Of course, Wang Zhi is very discerning, and went to Kunning Palace to report the ins and outs of the whole matter to Empress Zhang, and emphasized that Hua Houwei is now in dire straits and urgently needs Empress Zhang's rescue.
Of course, Empress Dowager Zhou understood what was going on, and smiled: "Queen, you also came to listen to Wei'er's story?" Let me tell you, Wei'er's little mouth, that's really... Tsk, it's still good for you to be born! ”
Where can Empress Zhang, the little quail, beat the old finch of the Empress Dowager Zhou? Listening to Empress Dowager Zhou's praise, her face was shining, but she left the matter of rescuing Hua Houwei behind: "Haha, look at what the emperor's grandmother said." Wei'er, what is Journey to the West, is it really so good? ”
Empress Dowager Zhou didn't speak, and directly threw a stack of rice paper to Empress Zhang. Empress Zhang took it and looked through it carefully, and after a while, she looked up, her eyes were green: "What about below?" ”
