Although Zhuo Liang was a little tired day and night, he was in the Hou Mansion at this time, and he hadn't had time to visit his master, so how could he sleep peacefully.

The reason why he excused himself to rest was because he had a lot of words, and it was not good to ask in front of Wu Yong, so he could only ask Cen Sheng.

The two chatted deeply in the wing room for a long time, and Cen Sheng was basically talking and Zhuo Liang was listening throughout the whole process.

"Because the Son of Heaven is sad about the death of his uncle, and he also has to comfort Empress Xiaoren, he has not been to the court for these days, and even the matter of studying has been put on hold for the time being, so that the lord has free time at home, otherwise at this time, he will still accompany the Son of Heaven to study in Huaguang Palace." Waiting for Cen Sheng's speech to stop, Zhuo Liang stood for a long time before he reacted, and asked in disbelief: "How long has it been, Yong'er has done so many things!" Even the uncle of the Son of Heaven dares to provoke? Cen Sheng shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Because there are a lot of people involved, the imperial court has not seriously pursued it, and at the same time, in order to avoid the spread of the royal scandal, the Son of Heaven just called Empress Xiaoren a subordinate of Dong Pet and ordered him to judge himself." As for the others, they have not been held accountable for this. ”

"That couldn't be better!" When Zhuo Liang heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, he was also worried that Wu Yong would be involved and hated by the Son of Heaven.

At this moment, the laughter of various women came from Wu Yong's courtyard, which made Zhuo Liang, who had just arrived here, ask with some confusion: "What happened, why are there so many women's voices in the courtyard?" Cen Sheng laughed and said: "These are the little ladies of the five families and the marquis mansions, Brother Zhuo Xian is here today, and he should go out to meet them, so as not to make jokes about his family members who don't know their own family in the future." ”

"Why did they all come to Yong'er's courtyard?" Zhuo Liang had too many doubts. Cen Sheng explained: "This is all the lord's benevolence and righteousness, he lived in this courtyard for a short time, worried that the little lady Chengzhao was lonely and lonely, and at the same time, in order for the little ladies in various provinces to have a way to spend time, he invited an old man and a girl to perform shadow puppets for everyone. Saying that, Cen Sheng praised again: "Brother Xian is a great talent who doesn't know the lord, he has personally compiled a lot of shadow puppet plays, and every time a new play appears, it will attract the shock of the people of Luoyang City." After speaking, he picked up a few shadow puppet plays with great influence and told them to Zhuo Liang.

After hearing this, the shock in Zhuo Liang's eyes was indescribable, and he immediately shouted loudly: "What? This "The Legend of the White Snake" and "Dou E's Injustice" are both edited by Yong'er? ”

"That's true, how can I talk nonsense, if the virtuous brother doesn't believe it, just find a random person in Luoyang, and you will know as soon as you ask." Seeing that Zhuo Liang was suspicious of him, Cen Sheng's face was a little displeased.

Seeing this, Zhuo Liang immediately apologized and said, "It's not that the foolish brother suspects Brother Ming Fang, it's really that this matter is too incredible." As he spoke, he hesitated, reorganized the language, and continued to speak: "So that Brother Ming Fang knows that now this "The Legend of the White Snake" and "Dou E's Injustice" have already spread all over Nanyang, and even Fuwangli has invited performers to perform many times, and I heard them say that these plays are all from a Zhao Bo, but I really didn't expect it to be a story made up by Yong'er. ”

"I didn't expect these plays to spread to Nanyang so quickly!" Cen Sheng sighed with emotion, and then said with a smile: "What they said is not wrong, although the repertoire is written by the lord, but every time it is rehearsed by Zhao Bo with all his heart. ”

"I see! If you let the villagers in Fuwang know that these plays are all from Wu Yong's hands, they will probably be honored. Zhuo Liang listened to it, and he also sighed with emotion.

Then the two skipped this topic and came to the courtyard together, and immediately found that Wu Yong was holding a cotton cloth and was surrounded by a group of little girls.

"I tell you, this intimate garment made of cotton cloth is the most comfortable, neither as smooth as silk nor as coarse as linen. In particular, the cotton clothes made of white cotton are warmer than those fur clothes in winter. "Wu Yong, as the soul of modern people, does not have many taboos.

I didn't know that when he talked about underwear, many young ladies were a little red-faced. However, they all believed that Wu Yong was unintentional, and no one stood up to explain, and even a few children immediately shouted.

"I want it, brother make me a set!" Immediately, many little ladies also spoke: "Brother, we want it too!" Wu Yong came back to his senses at this time, just now he only bragged about the benefits of cotton cloth and cotton, and completely forgot that there were not many of these things.

But seeing the longing eyes of many sisters, in the end, he couldn't give up his heart and refused them, so he could only bite the bullet and respond: "Hehe, everyone has it!" At this moment, a light cough interrupted the excitement of the crowd.

Wu Yong turned his head and found that it was Zhuo Liang, and immediately said in surprise: "Uncle, are you awake?" Seeing that there were elders here, many little ladies quieted down, and they all looked at Zhuo Liang in surprise, not understanding what his identity was, so that Wu Yong could call an uncle, looking at Wu Yong's closeness, it was estimated that he was a close relative in the family with five surnames.

Wu Yong saw that many sisters looked at it, so he explained with a smile: "This is Uncle Zhuo Liang from our Nanyang ancestral land, we are in the same place, and my uncle took good care of me in the past. After Wu Yong finished speaking, before he could introduce these sisters to Zhuo Liang, he heard them Yingying Yanyan shouting, "I've seen Uncle Zhuo." Zhuo Lianghe had seen such a battle, and immediately said in a panic: "Everyone get up, it's all your own family, you don't need to be polite." After speaking, he thought of the younger generation to visit, and the elders should give some meeting gifts, but he didn't have any extra things on his body now, not to mention that so many juniors were present, it was impossible for him to bring all the gifts with him.

So he glanced at Wu Yong, and said with a smile: "I came to Luoyang this time, in addition to bringing Nanyang's special cotton clothes, I also brought 100 catties of syrup, you can ask Yong'er later." Then, without waiting for Wu Yong's reaction, he said majestically: "Yong'er, this matter will be handed over to you, make sure that the brothers and sisters are all given syrup." After speaking, he pulled Cen Sheng into the wing room and closed the door again.

Seeing Zhuo Liang leaving, many little ladies immediately surrounded Wu Yong again and shouted one after another.

"Brother, take out the syrup, let's share it."

"It's dripping, brother, sister hasn't eaten caramel for a long time, I don't know how this syrup tastes better than caramel candy."

"Brother Yong, don't hide your secrets, my uncle has already ordered it just now." …… Don't look at them as the little ladies of the Hou Mansion, but there are only a handful of people who can eat food such as caramel and so on.

That's why he showed such excitement when he heard that Wu Yong had syrup here. When Wu Yong heard these words, he couldn't help but feel a little like crying.

He originally kept those syrups and used them a lot, but being disturbed by his uncle Zhuo Liang made his plans a little messy.

According to his plan, it will be the birthday of the Empress Dowager Dou in a while, and the last time the two princesses personally sent out an invitation, he had to be cautious.

Originally, he was still thinking about what gift to give, after all, the Empress Dowager Dou lived in the palace and was used to seeing all kinds of rare treasures and ordinary gifts, but he was afraid that she would not be able to look down on her, and it also showed that she was not sincere.

Until he saw these cotton cloths and syrup, he suddenly had an idea in his heart, that is, to give Empress Dowager Dou a cotton coat and the usual white sugar.

Cotton clothes are easy to say, please ask a well-known tailor in Luoyang City to help make it. But white sugar is not so easy to refine from syrup, and there is no complete sugar production process yet.

In fact, Wu Yong's so-called sugar-making process is actually a simple extraction of white sugar, the syrup is heated and dissolved with water, and then a small amount of charcoal is added to obtain a colorless liquid, and then heated and evaporated.

To put it bluntly, this process is to use the charcoal adsorption function to absorb the impurities in the syrup, but it is a pity that this step should have used activated carbon, but at this time, Wu Yong really didn't know how to make activated carbon, and he could only use relatively clean charcoal.

Fortunately, charcoal and activated carbon are similar, at most, the adsorption is not as good as activated carbon, and the number of uses can be supplemented.

All the ideas are beautiful, but the syrup is only a hundred catties, and he estimates that he can finally refine fifty catties of white sugar.

These white sugars, he plans to send the Empress Dowager Dou to ten catties, and then send the Son of Heaven to ten catties, and the Empress Dowager Dong's ten catties can not be less!

Others, such as the Ten Standing Attendants, Taifu and the Three Princes and Nine Qings, the Three Emperors, the Five Classics and the Fourteen Doctors, etc., must also send some.

With so many people, how can they use fifty catties of white sugar! Now he was cheated by his uncle Zhuo Kuo, and he had to give some to many sisters, which made him feel a little big.

However, since Zhuo Liang had orders, Wu Yong had to do it, so he thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "Sisters, don't worry, wait for me to refine these into white sugar, and then invite you to taste them together." Everyone knows the rarity of syrup, and when they heard Wu Yong say that, they all smiled.

"This is what you said, when the time comes, we will not have a share, and the sisters will not follow it, and they will come to your courtyard every day, so that you will not be able to study in peace."

"Rest assured, sisters, any of you will be indispensable!" Wu Yong cut the railway.

This satisfied the sisters, and they took their leave. Zhuo Liang, who was hiding behind the door, saw that Wu Yong sent many little ladies away so easily, and he was slightly surprised in his heart, so he asked Cen Sheng beside him: "Why are these little ladies of the Hou Mansion so convinced by Yong'er's words?" Cen Sheng said with a smile: "The lord's words are recognized in the five surnamed Hou's mansions, not to mention that these little ladies will come to the other courtyard every day to watch shadow puppet shows, and it is estimated that they don't want to embarrass the lord too much." ”

"They come every day?" Zhuo Liang was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Shouldn't this delay Yong'er's study?" ”

"Why does Brother Zhuo Xian guess like this?" Cen Sheng glanced at Zhuo Ju, and then explained: "All the little ladies of the Hou Mansion are knowledgeable and understanding, not to mention that this is acquiesced by Zhuo Taijun, and that kind of situation will never occur." As he spoke, he said a little arrogantly: "But even if you don't have these, according to the wisdom of the lord, how can you be bound by such a child's personal feelings!" ”
