After the Duanyang Festival, Zhao Yao has been worrying about one thing.

Seeing that Zhao Yao had been frowning for the past few days, with a sad face, the Eighth Prince asked with concern: "Tenth brother, what's wrong with you these days, you always look preoccupied?" ”

"Starling, it's my mother's birthday soon, I'm thinking about what birthday gift to give my mother." In the past few days, Zhao Yao has been worrying about this matter.

"I remember that you gave Zhaoyi Niangniang a hosta last year, and this year you can give Zhaoyi Niangniang a pair of earrings or bracelets." The eighth prince knew Liang Zhaoyi's birthday, and he would prepare birthday gifts for Liang Zhaoyi every year. Liang Zhaoyi's birthday gift this year, he has already prepared.

"I want to make something for my mother, but I can't think of what gift to give to my mother for a while." Zhao Yao looked at the Eighth Prince and asked, "Starling, do you want to make something for my mother?"

"Do you do it yourself?" The Eighth Prince thought about it for a while, and then suggested, "You can make a wooden hairpin for Zhaoyi Niangniang?" ”

"Hairpins?" Zhao Yao thought for a while and said, "The wooden hairpin is too plain, and it's not very good-looking." "How can a wooden hairpin be as good as a hosta and a golden hairpin.

The Eighth Prince couldn't think of any good advice for the time being, after all, Zhao Yao was small and didn't have many things that he could make with his own hands.

"Tenth brother, I advise you to buy it. If you don't have enough money, I'll give you some. ”’

"Starling, I'm rich." Zhao Yao insisted, "I still want to make something for my mother in person." ”

Seeing that Zhao Yao insisted on making gifts by himself, the eighth prince couldn't persuade anything.

"Then think about it."

"Starling, what do you say women need most?" Zhao Yao asked, "What do women like my mother like the most?"

"Generally speaking, women like gold, silver, jewelry, or beautiful clothes."

"The concubine is not very interested in these things." Zhao Yao scratched the back of his head and said, "The concubine likes to grow vegetables, so I can't send vegetables to the concubine."

The Eighth Prince suddenly thought of a good idea: "You can personally make a bowl of longevity noodles for Zhaoyi Niangniang." ”

"Starling, I don't know how to cook." Zhao Yao said with a bitter face, "I don't want my mother to have diarrhea after eating the longevity noodles I made on her birthday."

The Eighth Prince was amused by Zhao Yao's words, and then he thought of another idea.

"Doesn't Zhaoyi Niangniang like to read, you can send books to Zhaoyi Niangniang."

"It's a good idea, but I still want to make something for my mother." Zhao Yao pouted and said, "If I really can't think of a good gift, I'll give a book to my mother." ”

The Eighth Prince said: "I think it's good to send books. ”

As he spoke, Mr. Xiao walked in.

The third, fifth, and sixth princes were assassinated in the perinatal and were seriously wounded. During this time, they have been recuperating in the Xingde Palace, and they have not come to the Wende Hall to study.

The fourth prince has long stopped coming to Wende Hall to study, and he is now busy repairing history in Lanyuan Pavilion every day.

At present, only the Seventh Prince, the Eighth Prince, the Ninth Emperor and Zhao Yao are studying in the Wende Palace.

Mr. Xiao first explained the content to the Seventh Prince, then lectured to the Eighth Prince, then the Ninth Prince, and finally Zhao Yao.

Although Mr. Xiao is already Zhao Yao's person, the two of them are still the same as usual, there is nothing special, even the eighth prince did not see it. Occasionally, however, Mr. Xiao would call Zhao Yao to his study, ostensibly to explain to him again what was being taught in class, but in fact the two were discussing something else.

In the past, Zhao Yao would be distracted when he took Mr. Xiao's class, but since Mr. Xiao promised to go to the fiefdom with him, Zhao Yao would not be distracted when he took his class again.

Soon, it was noon, and the morning school was over.

Mr. Xiao didn't stop Zhao Yao, but glanced at him.

Zhao Yao understood what Mr. Xiao meant, and nodded at him.

Tomorrow, Mr. Xiao and Zhao Yao will be resting. Zhao Yao plans to leave the palace tomorrow to find Mr. Xiao.

Before the Duanyang Festival, several clansmen from Zhao Yao's maternal grandfather Liang Shuren had already arrived in the capital. After a while, Liang Run will take them to Wusun.

Before they went to Wusun, Zhao Yao wanted to go out of the palace to meet them and explain some things to them.

"Starling, I'm going out of the palace to play tomorrow, do you need me to buy you something?" Although the Eighth Prince came to Wende Hall every day to study, he couldn't practice his afternoon schoolwork, such as riding and archery, after all, his injuries were not completely healed.

The Eighth Prince thought for a moment and said, "There is nothing you want. ”

Zhao Yao's eyes rolled, and he suddenly smiled very badly: "Hey, hey, starling, I'll buy some books and come back to show you." Every time he left the palace, he would buy some notebooks, "Starling, the notebook I talked to you is very good, and I can learn a lot of things." ”

The Eighth Prince shook his head and refused: "I'm not interested in reading a book. ”

"It's really good-looking, starling, can you take a look."

"Don't look." The Eighth Prince raised his hand and patted Zhao Yao's little head, "Why don't you hurry back and have lunch." ”

"I'm not going back to Kunde Hall for lunch, I'm going to Lanyuan Pavilion to find the fourth brother to get a book." Zhao Yao waved his hand to the Eighth Prince, "Brother Starling, I'll go to Lanyuan Pavilion first." With that, he jumped and ran away.

The Eighth Prince frowned, and immediately took Yu Hai back to Xingde Palace.

The fourth prince was waiting for Zhao Yao, and when he saw him coming, he took him to the dining room for lunch.

During lunch, Zhao Yao told the four princes about his idea of making a birthday gift for Liang Zhaoyi, and asked the four princes if they had any suggestions.

The fourth prince and the eighth prince suggested that Zhao Yao make a wooden hairpin. After Zhao Yao's proposal to make a wooden hairpin was rejected by Zhao Yao, he proposed to Zhao Yao to make a comb.

The suggestion of making a comb is good, and Zhao Yao decided to consider it.

"Fourth brother, I will rest tomorrow and decide to go out of the palace to play, do you have anything you want, I will bring it back to you from outside the palace?"

"No, I'm going to leave the palace tomorrow."

When Zhao Yao heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Fourth brother, you are going out of the palace tomorrow, where are you going?" ”

"I'll go to my grandfather's house tomorrow." The fourth prince said while serving Zhao Yao vegetables, "I'm going to my grandfather's house to find books, will you go with me tomorrow?" ”

"Fourth brother, what book are you looking for?"

"Some books related to historical materials." The fourth prince said, "There are many books related to historical materials in the library of my grandfather's house. "The historical materials in the Lanyuan Pavilion are incomplete. When they were repairing the history of the previous dynasty, they found that some historical materials were missing, which were not in the Lanyuan Pavilion, so he and his cousins thought of the Li family library and planned to look for it.

At the mention of the Li family's library, Zhao Yao's eyes instantly became shining: "Fourth brother, I heard Mr. Xiao say that your grandfather's library is a treasure trove, and there are many precious books in it, is it true?" ”

"It's true, my grandfather's library has a lot of books. There are many books that have been lost among the people, and you can find them in the library of my grandfather's house. The fourth prince said, "My grandfather has collected a lot of books from generation to generation, and they have kept them very well. ”

Zhao Yao listened to it and made his little calculation in his heart.

"Fourth brother, can I borrow these precious books when I'm older?"

The fourth prince agreed very happily: "Yes." "The books treasured by the Li family are not borrowed, but for the four princes, Zhao Yao is not an outsider.

"Thank you, Fourth Brother." The Li family's collection of good books are all treasures, and he has to take a good look at them.

"Will you come with me to my grandfather's house tomorrow?"

"Fourth brother, it's rare for you to go to your grandfather's house, so I won't bother." Zhao Yao said with a grin, "However, I can go over and eat at night." ”

The fourth prince smiled: "Okay, then you come over for dinner in the evening." ”

"Fourth brother, will you go back to the palace tomorrow night?" Zhao Yao said, "I won't go back to the palace at night, and I'm going to play outside the palace for two more days this time." ”

"I can stay at my grandfather's house and enter the palace early the day after tomorrow." The fourth prince said, "Since you don't return to the palace tomorrow night, then stay with me at my grandfather's house." ”

Zhao Yao hit this idea: "Okay, okay, then I'm welcome." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Taichang Cheng and Shaofu Cheng, "Two cousins, then I'll bother you tomorrow night." ”

Taichang Cheng and Shaofu Cheng said: "Your Highness Ten, it is our honor for you to come to our Li family as a guest. ”

Zhao Yao asked unceremoniously: "Two cousins, I want to eat well." ”

"Your Highness Ten, rest assured, I will definitely prepare something very delicious for you."

"That's great." Zhao Yao said with a smile on his face.

Seeing that Zhao Yao was so happy, the corners of the four princes' mouths rose unconsciously.

Zhao Yao's maternal grandfather was in Yangzhou, and so far, he has not met his maternal grandfather and maternal grandmother. The fourth prince had long found out that Zhao Yao was very envious of his relationship with his two cousins. He wanted Zhao Yao to have more contact with the people of his grandfather's family, so that he could feel the family affection with his grandfather's family.

"I haven't been to the Servant Shooter's house yet." Zhao Yao said expectantly.

The servant in his mouth is the maternal grandfather of the fourth prince. Servant is the title of the dean of Taixue.

Tai Changcheng smiled and said, "Your Highness the Ten, you can go to our house often in the future." ”

Shaofu Cheng echoed: "We will be very welcome." ”

The fourth prince said: "I will take you often in the future." ”

"Fourth brother, if you say so, I'll be polite, I'll really go to play often."

"Your Highness, you are welcome to come to our house often." has been in contact with Zhao Yao for a long time, and Taichang Cheng and Shaofu Cheng like him more and more.

"Then you're welcome." Zhao Yao thought in his heart that he would go to the Li family more often in the future and have a good relationship with the Li family, so that he could borrow books in the future. "By the way, I haven't been to Taixue yet. Fourth brother, if you are free in the future, take me to Taixue to have a look. "Taixue is full of talents, he has to go and tap some talents for his use.

"Okay, when I'm free, I'll take you to Taixue to have a look." The fourth prince goes to Taixue several times a year, and he likes the atmosphere of reading in Taixue very much. In fact, he wanted to study in Taixue more than studying in the Wende Palace.

"That's settled."

Speaking of Taixue, Taichang Cheng and Shaofu Cheng have a lot of interesting things in Taixue with Zhao Yao, and some talented students.

Zhao Yao listened very carefully. After listening to it, I wanted to go to Taixue even more.

After lunch, Zhao Yao did not stay in Lanyuan Pavilion for a long time and returned to the Kunde Palace. As soon as he returned to the Kunde Palace, he saw Yu Meiren washing the hair of the fifth princess.

"Second concubine, why do you wash your hair at noon?"

"It's a bit hot today, so if you wash your hair at noon, you can dry it quickly in the sun." While washing the hair of the fifth princess, Yu Meiren said to Zhao Yao, "Yaoyao, the second concubine will also help you wash it." ”

"Second mother, in a while, I'm going to go to the martial arts arena to practice riding and shooting, so I won't wash it."

"Then I'll wash you tomorrow."

"Tomorrow I will leave the palace to play."

The fifth princess heard that Zhao Yao was going out to play tomorrow, and hurriedly said, "Tenth brother, I will go out with you tomorrow." ”

Yu Meiren pinched the back of the fifth princess's erect neck, "You give me to stay in the palace honestly." ”

"Fifth sister, even if I am willing to take you out of the palace, my father will not agree to you leaving the palace." Compared with the five sisters, Zhao Yao felt that it was better to be a prince, at least the prince could leave the palace when he was resting, but the princess couldn't. "Second Mother, do you have anything you want me to bring to the fifth sister's grandfather?"

"Yes, I've already packed it, and I'll trouble you to send it to me tomorrow." Yu Meiren's family is in the capital, but unfortunately she has not seen her family once after being in the palace for so many years.

"I'll help you deliver your things as soon as I leave the palace tomorrow."

The fifth princess's tone was full of envy: "I also want to go out of the palace to my grandfather's house." ”

"Fifth sister, then you go and beg your father. As long as my father agrees, I will take you out of the palace. ”

"I don't dare." Give the fifth princess a hundred dares, and she didn't dare to ask Emperor Wu of Zhou. "Tenth brother, you can help me intercede with my father."

"I'm not going." Zhao Yao pursed his lips and said, "I'm going to see my father, and my father may not let me leave the palace and test my homework." "He has a token now, he can leave the palace if he wants to, and he doesn't have to tell his stinky father." Fifth sister, you better go by yourself. ”

The fifth princess snorted unhappily.

At this time, the poppy brought another basin of warm water sprinkled with flower petals and gently poured it on the head of the fifth princess.

Washing your hair with flower petal water will make your hair scented. This is how everyone in the palace washes their hair.

After the poppy helped the fifth princess wrap up her hair, she gently and meticulously washed her face.

Zhao Yao felt bored after watching it for a while, so he went to find Liang Zhaoyi. I told her that I was going to Li's house tomorrow night and staying at Li's house.

Liang Zhaoyi asked him to prepare some gifts before going to Li's house, and he couldn't visit the door empty-handed, otherwise it would be too rude.

"Forget it, I'll help you prepare it now, and you can take it to the Li family tomorrow."

"Mother, don't worry about it." Zhao Yao touched his nose and said, "If you prepare a gift, it will be too formal, which is not good." ”

"Yes, then you can buy some gifts yourself." Liang Zhaoyi knew that his son's departure from the palace this time was for Liang Run's upcoming trip to Wusun, and advised, "Let your second uncle prepare well before they leave." ”

"Okay."

Liang Zhaoyi told some more things, and Zhao Yao listened carefully.

In the courtyard, after the poppy helped the fifth princess wash her hair, she began to wash Pan Cairen's hair. Seeing this scene, a flash of light flashed in Zhao Yao's mind, and then he exclaimed in his heart: "Soap! ”

He thought of what to give his mother a birthday gift. He can make soap for his mother.

Soap can wash your face, hair, and bath.

After leaving the palace tomorrow, it will be done at the second uncle's house, and when the time comes, it will be brought back to the palace to give to the mother, and the mother will be very happy.

Liang Zhaoyi saw Zhao Yao's excited face, and asked curiously, "What do you think?" ”

"Mother, I want to give you some birthday gift." Zhao Yao said with a grin, "You just wait." ”

"yes, I'll wait."

"Mother, you will definitely be pleasantly surprised." Wait, after he makes the soap, he can sell it for money. Da Zhou does not have soap, and the soap will be very amazing after it comes out, this is a big business, if you let the second uncle do it, it will definitely attract attention at that time, this ......

No matter what, make it first and give it to the mother, and then discuss with the mother whether to use it to make money.

Soap doesn't seem to be difficult to make, it can be made with lard, and of course it needs ash water. Tomorrow, let the second uncle prepare lard and grass and wood gray water.

Fortunately, Zhao Yao in his dream reads a lot of books and knows a lot of things.

There will be a shift in the evening.

It is said to be soap, but it is actually lard soap. There are tutorials online, which are easy to do, and they don't require any chemicals. If you are interested, you can go and see it, so that one day when you travel to ancient times, you can make lard soap, and then sell it for money and become billionaires.

In the end, I still asked for a monthly pass!!
