Chapter 116: Zhu Di wants to be a matchmaker
Behind every successful king, there is a virtuous queen!
These words are the most important for Zhu Di!
Princess Xu Miaoyun can not only give birth to a bunch of cubs for him, but also help him manage the internal affairs of the Yan Palace, be his military advisor, and even help him defend the base camp at the last critical time.
Of course, the matter of guarding the base camp is not something that Zhu Di can experience at this time.
But at this time, Zhu Di is very glad that he can have such a virtuous princess, just like his father and his mother!
He was worried about how to completely tie Guo An, the money bag of the Yan Palace, to him.
Unexpectedly, his sister-in-law would find such a good idea for him directly.
This time, he not only wants to get Guo An's people, but also Guo An's heart!
……
Yanwang's Mansion, inside the gazebo in the garden.
"Wechen see His Highness!"
Guo An respectfully saluted Zhu Di, and his heart was full of doubts, how did Zhu Di think of taking the initiative to find him. And, still looking for him to come to this kind of place?
Zhu Di's face was full of kindness, "Guo Qing, no need to be polite, sit down and say!" ”
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Guo An was not polite, and sat directly on the stool on the side.
The two attendants on the side hurriedly served Guo An two plates of melons and fruits, and after a cup of herbal tea, they retreated.
In the entire pavilion, only Guo An and Zhu Di were left.
Inexplicably, Guo An felt a little wrong.
It's a bit weird!
"Guo Qing is only a weak champion this year!"
Without waiting for Guo An to speak, Zhu Di took the lead in asking.
"Back to Your Highness, in a few months, Weichen should be one in twenty!" Guo An replied.
"Guo Qing hasn't married a wife yet, right?"
Zhu Di said again: "In our Ming Dynasty, those who have not yet married a wife with a weak crown are already rare, and we will marry the princess at sixteen, and when we reach Guo Qing's age, we already have two daughters and two sons!" ”
Guo An smiled stiffly, and his cheeks twitched.
Although I am a little envious, I really want to call it, livestock!
Four children in four years!
No field will be plowed, and it will be barren!
Zhu Di didn't see the expression on Guo An's face, but still continued: "I don't know why Guo Qing hasn't married a wife yet? Thinking that Guo Qing's Guo family should also be a big family in Shunde Mansion, the family should not allow Guo Qing not to marry a wife at such an age, right? ”
Guo An: "It's annoying Your Highness, when Wechen was young, my father was worried about this matter, but Wechen was startled by a tiger and wolf girl, so he delayed."
In the past few years, I have been staying in the old house in Wanping County, and the matter has dragged on! ”
"Tiger Wolf Girl?"
Zhu Di sat up and stared at Guo An tightly, his eyes full of gossip fire.
"That woman is too strong, or what's wrong with Guo Qing......"
Guo An was speechless, "Your Highness misunderstood, it's just that the woman is a little fat!" ”
"O~"
Zhu Di raised his eyebrows, glanced at Guo An with a smile, and said, "In this way, Guo Qing's body is fine?" ”
“……”
Guo An looked at Zhu Di in a daze, and then his face was full of anger.
"I don't know where Your Highness heard the rumors, there are thieves who dare to slander the innocence of Weichen like this?"
Zhu Di's expression was correct, and he hurriedly smiled: "Guo Qing, don't be angry, this matter is just our speculation." After all, at Guo Qing's age, he has not yet had any marriage or concubines, which is really unethical.
We've heard that since Guo Qing took office as the magistrate of Wanping County, there have been more than a dozen wealthy businessmen in Beiping Mansion who wanted to send their daughters to Guo Qing's mansion, but Guo Qing didn't accept any of them! ”
"Thank you, Your Highness, for worrying about Weichen!"
Guo An bowed slightly towards Zhu Di, he finally understood why Zhu Di suddenly came to look for him!
It turns out that I also want to be a matchmaker!
However, he doesn't worry about marrying a wife, as for taking a concubine? As soon as he opened his mouth, there were many gentry and wealthy businessmen in the entire Beiping Mansion who wanted to send women to his mansion!
Looking at Guo An's indifferent expression, Zhu Di was a little itchy with anger, and asked again: "I wonder if Guo Qing has a favorite woman?" ”
Guo An replied honestly: "Back to Your Highness, Wechen is ashamed, my father has always worked hard for Wechen in this matter, so Wechen is not too concerned!" ”
"Guo Qing doesn't pay attention to this matter?"
Zhu Di glanced at Guo An with strange eyes, "Guo Qing is already so old, why don't you even worry about this matter?" ”
"Your Highness wants to be a matchmaker for Weichen?" Guo An asked directly.
"This ......"
Zhu Di didn't expect Guo An to be so straightforward, he was stunned for a while, and then nodded, "Guo Qing, as our right long history, has not married a wife yet, so we are all a little anxious." ”
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Guo An thanked him, and then said something that made Zhu Di even more pleased, "If Your Highness is a matchmaker for Weichen, Weichen can't ask for it!" ”
"Really?"
didn't expect Guo An to be so willing, in the great contrast, Zhu Di couldn't help but be a little stunned, as if he begged Guo An to be a matchmaker, and Guo An agreed.
"How dare Weichen deceive His Highness!"
Guo An said sincerely.
Indeed, when he doesn't have a woman he particularly wants to marry, he can marry a beautiful woman as his wife.
Anyway, in this era of respect for men, he will live a very happy life if he marries anyone!
Of course, if he dares not to make him happy, he will dare to take a few more beautiful concubines!
Zhu Di said: "Guo Qing rest assured, the princess is from the Zhongshan Palace, and she knows a lot of beautiful women, so we must let the princess choose a virtuous wife for you!" ”
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Guo An still looked calm.
On the other hand, Zhu Di is a little weird no matter how he thinks.
It's the first time he's seen someone who is so uninterested in marrying a daughter-in-law? Besides, are you still like this?
"So, the matter is settled!"
It's just that what Zhu Di didn't expect was that Guo An actually said again: "Weichen still has something to report to His Highness!" ”
"Guo Qing said bluntly!"
"Your Highness, the old father of Weichen's family has also been worrying about Weichen's marriage for a while. Therefore, Wechen is worried that during this period of time, the old father in the family has ordered another woman for Wechen.
In this way, if His Royal Highness also found a good wife for Wei Chen, wouldn't Wei Chen deceive His Royal Highness? ”
"It's a problem!"
Zhu Di touched the beard on his chin, and after pondering for a while, he said: "In this way, you can repair a letter to your father tomorrow to clarify the situation!"
After the autumn harvest, let's let the princess worry about this matter! ”
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Guo An thanked.
At this time, Zhu Di was in a good mood, and asked Guo An again: "Do you have anything else to report?" ”
"Your Highness, it's still a matter of wool!" Guo An replied.
"Wool?"
Zhu Di was stunned, "Didn't we already give you 100,000 taels of silver?" ”
Guo An replied: "Your Highness, Weichen is here to wash the wool!" ”
In an instant, Zhu Di's face suddenly changed and changed, and he finally remembered that he wanted to knit wool into the most important part of the sweater.
"You want a lot of salt?"
"Your Highness is wise!"
Guo An hurriedly replied.
Zhu Di pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth fiercely, and said: "Don't worry about this matter, we will ask my father tomorrow to ask for a batch of salt for our Yan Palace!" ”
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Guo An bowed his hand and saluted.
In fact, at this meeting, Daming has long been short of salt.
However, salt was still very expensive and scarce for the common people, because the rulers wanted to achieve certain purposes.
It's like pouring out milk......
This problem is too complicated, Guo An doesn't want to waste brain cells in vain, he is not qualified to interfere.
Anyway, if Zhu Di wants to get a lot of salt, there must be no problem.
……
After returning to the Changshi Division, Guo An sent someone to call for Gong Zheng Xu Yun!
Probably, in the entire Yanwang Mansion, it may be that the top and bottom of the Gongzheng Office are the most fond of Guo An, the right long history.
Therefore, Xu Yun, who received the news, directly put down the affairs in his hand and ran over directly.
"Xiaguan see Guo Changshi!"
Xu Yun saluted Guo An with a sincere face.
"Xu Gong is hurrying up!" Guo An's face was gentle.
"Thank you Guo Changshi!"
After Xu Yun got up, he looked at Guo An with an expectant face.
"I don't know if Guo Changshi is looking for a subordinate to come, but what do you have to order?"
Guo An said: "We have one thing I want to ask Xu Gongzheng!" ”
"Guo Changshi, please speak!"
"Let's make a particularly black wooden board first, but the black on this wooden board has to be not afraid of washing, we have been thinking about it for a few days, but we haven't come up with a way, I don't know what the Xu Gong can do?"
Xu Yun blinked his eyes and asked seriously: "Guo Changshi, just want the plank to turn black, and this black is not easy to fall?" ”
Guo An nodded: "That's right!" ”
Xu Yun glanced at Guo An strangely, "Guo Changshi, this matter is very easy!" ”
"Huh?"
Guo An was overjoyed, "Xu Gong is coming soon?" ”
Xu Yun said: "Guo Changshi, just polish the wooden board smooth and smooth, and brush a few layers of black paint on it!" ”
"Black paint?"
Guo An was stunned, "Can black paint not be afraid of water scrubbing?" ”
Xu Yun chuckled and said: "Guo Changshi, although rest assured, the paint on many of the furniture in the mansion was brushed by the lower officials and others, and there is absolutely no paint loss!" ”
"Please don't blame Xu Gongzheng, it's the fact that we've been thinking about it for the past few days, and we have forgotten about the painting!"
Guo An apologized, and then asked again: "However, the black paint we want is not a simple black paint, and the limestone needs to be able to scratch obvious white marks on it, and it will not scratch the black paint, and it can be easily wiped clean with a cloth!" ”
Xu Yun still looked confident, "Although Guo Changshi can rest assured, as long as he gives the lower official two days, the lower official will definitely be able to concoct this kind of black paint." ”
"Very good!"
Guo An's face was happy.
"After this kind of black lacquer is concocted, Xu Gong is making a large wooden board, this is the drawing of the wooden board!"
As he spoke, Guo An handed the drawings on the side to Xu Yun.
Xu Yun glanced at it, and there was a wooden board on a wooden shelf!
"Guo Changshi rest assured, Xia Guan will definitely be able to make this plank within two days!"
Guo An nodded slightly, and then ordered: "In addition, Xu Gongzheng needs to use limestone and gypsum to make a hundred finger-long, but half-thinner white pillars!" ”
"Yes!"
Xu Yun nodded again, and then saw that Guo An no longer commanded anything, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked with curiosity on his face: "Dare to ask Guo Changshi, I don't know what the use of this thing is?" How much can it be sold for? ”
"Sell for money?"
Guo An was stunned and shook it gently.
"Xu Gong is about to be disappointed, this thing is prepared for those generals in the academy, and it is not prepared to be used to make money!"
"I see!"
Xu Yun's face was slightly disappointed, and then he returned to a full smile.
"Please also rest assured that Guo Changshi will still make these objects in two days!"
"It's hard work!"
