.”

Listening to his godson in that slow and logical tone, 1510 explained the things along the way, Xiao Jing was speechless for a while, how could we accept such a son.

He sighed deeply, "You entered the palace when you were eight years old, a doll is helpless in this palace, and this palace is a place where you eat people and don't spit out bones, our family looks at you pitifully, so they will take you as a godson, and they have been treating you as their own son all these years, you touch your conscience and say, how has our family treated you all these years?" ”

The godfather has nothing to say about treating his son."

"Then why don't you listen to your father?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Jing poked the head of the stuffy gourd a few times with his fingers, and his face hated that iron could not become steel.

"You can't let out a fart every day, it's not the material that waits for people, and you make the master look upset all day long, so we will let you help you go to Gu Dongchang, you are doing well in Dongchang, but you want to stay in the Dongchang for the rest of your life?"

The son thought. The stuffy gourd was silent for a moment, and said so, he likes the work of the East Factory, he has a wooden face all day long, and the lack of words is not only not a disadvantage, but an advantage.

And he also has a lot of experience in interrogating prisoners.

When you encounter those hard-mouthed felons who can't pry their mouths open by others, as long as they go to trial, they can make the other party pour out in a moment.

He felt that he had realized the value of his life in Dongchang.

"Haha, you really want to stay for the rest of your life." Xiao couldn't help laughing, and poked his head with his fingers, and the stuffy gourd didn't dodge or avoid being poked, and he didn't even say a word.

poked for a while, Xiao Jing felt that his fingers hurt a little, stopped stupidly, gritted his teeth and said: "You want to stay, but you can't stay for a lifetime!" ”

"Our family can't protect you for the rest of your life!"

“.”

The stuffy gourd pursed his lips and said nothing, although Xiao Jing has long been accustomed to this, but there is still a feeling that there is nowhere to go, and a deep sense of powerlessness also wells up in his heart, he looked up to the sky and sighed, his eyes were a little moist,

"Oh my God, what kind of sin are we making, we entered the palace to cut off our children and grandchildren, and accepted a godson thinking that we could have an incense, but we received such a thing."

Godfather, my son is also cut off, and I can't help you inherit the incense."

“.”

Xiao Jing was silent, and after a while, he asked faintly, "Are you deliberately angry with us?" ”

"My son didn't."

Looking at his serious look, Xiao Jing had a thousand words in his heart for a while, but he couldn't say it in his throat, and in the end, he waved his hand helplessly, "That's it."

Then he sighed heavily, and said earnestly: "We are old now, I don't know how many years we can serve the emperor, and sooner or later we will have to go out of this palace, we don't expect you to honor us for the elderly, we have saved a lot of silver over the years, enough for us to eat, but what about you, you are still young." ”

"When we get out of the palace, unload the burden of this eunuch with a pen, and lose the position of the commander of the East Factory, the new Governor of the East Factory will come up, how will you accommodate yourself in the East Factory? Don't you have to go back to this palace? ”

"You said that you can't serve people, and it's easy to offend people with a face hanging all day long, how can you live in this palace."

"Before you go, let's explain for a long time, let's tell you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a good relationship with that Master Xia, and when the prince ascends the throne in the future, that Master Xia will definitely follow Feihuang Tengda.

You go to pick him up, get acquainted with him first, leave a good impression, and then find a chance to slowly tie up, and then we can't protect you in the future, and you won't fall into a miserable situation, but you"

Speaking of this, Xiao Jing paused, and then continued to preach, and then said: "Let's help you prepare some gifts later, and tomorrow you will take them to Master Xia's mansion to apologize for your sins, remember?" ”

"My son remembered."

"Good life remember."

Xiao Jing patted the shoulder of the stuffy gourd, with helplessness and concern in his eyes.

He has recognized a lot of godchildren and godgrandchildren in his life, and these godchildren and godgrandchildren continue to recognize godchildren and godson, and so on, just like an infinite nesting doll.

How many generations of the so-called descendants have developed, and how many people are added together, Xiao Jing can't say, and it's not clear.

But this godson is different, he brought it up single-handedly, and when he recognized this son, he was just a little better eunuch than the lowest eunuch in this palace, far from the current scenery.

The two have been together for more than 30 years, not father and son, but better than father and son, Xiao Jing has long regarded this stuffy gourd as his own son.

And this son is not at ease for him.

————————————————————

Regarding the formula of gunpowder, as well as the crystallization method of purifying saltpeter, Xia Yuan did not hide the slightest secret, and handed over the original ones, these things are very important, and they must not be in the hands of private individuals, they must be used by the country.

He thought about this very clearly, and he estimated that Emperor Hongzhi must have thought more clearly.

But there is one thing he hasn't handed over, that is, the method of sugar decolorization, which can be used as a secret that cannot be passed on, and it is something that can be used to cherish the broom, Xia Yuan still wants to keep it and use it to make money in business in the future.

What's more, the power of gunpowder can be increased by the ingredients contained in the sugar, and it has nothing to do with the color of the sugar.

Zhu Youzhu originally only wanted a gunpowder formula, but he didn't expect that there would be an addition, although this kind of gunpowder with sugar, as well as this crystallization method, he didn't understand it very well, especially this crystallization method, but he also knew the reason for taking people short, so he proposed to give Xia Yuan a reward.

Of course, Xia Yuan refused with righteousness, and once again reaffirmed his noble sentiment of being loyal to the monarch and the country, worrying about the country and the people, and not remembering personal gains and losses.

Then Emperor Hongzhi stared at him quietly for a moment, and then did not mention it again.

Out of the palace, Xia Yuan still regretted wanting to slap himself a few times, what kind of beep?

He felt worse than losing his money.

In the carriage, he was still accompanied by the sullen gourd eunuch, Xia Yuan looked at him again, his heart was even more uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but move towards the corner of the carriage.

The two were silent, and when they arrived at the door of their house, the carriage stopped, and Xia Yuan was about to get out of the car, but unexpectedly, the stuffy gourd suddenly squeezed out a yin owl smile, and said loudly: ".. Master Xia walks slowly, and our family will come to the house tomorrow to see you. ”

“.”

Xia Yuan stumbled, this is a threat, this is definitely a threat.

Without answering, he jumped out of the car, and immediately saw several tall horses tied to the tethered stone in front of the mansion.

Further inside, several people squatted in the front yard, and said hello casually to the familiar Gu Dayong, Xia Yuan hurriedly entered the main courtyard, and then saw Zhu Houzhao sleeping on a recliner basking in the sun.

To be honest, Xia Yuan had never felt that this prince had ever been so kind as he was now, he walked over and pushed him several times in a row, Zhu Houzhao opened his eyes when he was drowsy, and before he could react in a daze, he heard Xia Yuan ask first:

"I'm being targeted by the Governor of Dongchang, what do you say?"

“？”
