Chapter 5: Humility and Eloquence

"Do you still read the Di newspaper every day?" Emperor Hong Xi asked in surprise.

In the territory of the Great Yan Dynasty, there has always been a habit of regularly printing Di Bao to disperse Kyushu, in the past, when paper was not prevalent, in order to save costs, only each state capital had a hand-copied Di Bao, and the county and below were engraved on the wooden board for the officials and the people to see, three years ago the paper that was easy to carry appeared, and the spread of Di Bao was slightly wider and easier, but among them, there were still not many people who could read Di Bao and would read Di Bao.

Those who can read here can be regarded as those who can read, and those who can read must be generals and ministers who understand military and political affairs.

A little girl like You Xi who went to solve the problem after reading the Di newspaper, Emperor Hong Xi couldn't say for a while that she should be put into that category.

But Emperor Hong Xi knew that if this sucrose could really be compared with bee candy, it would indeed be a good thing to use in the army.

And Youxi will definitely be the first contributor at that time.

It's just that why Youxi is offering sugar at this time?

"You Niangzi, it has been three years since you last offered paper-making theory, that time you begged your aunt not to be whipped because you were fifteen years old, and you were still unmarried in the room seven out of ten, and now when your house was raided, you are in a hurry to see the widow, what do you want to ask for?"

Youxi reincarnated as a feudal dynasty, there are women before the age of fifteen to set a family affair, twenty years ago must marry the explicit provisions, if the people do not do so, the woman's parents will be whipped twenty times, three years ago You Xi was fourteen years old, seeing that she is about to be fifteen years old but has not yet decided on the family affairs, she is worried about thinking about a solution, she got a chance to enter the palace, met Emperor Hong Xi, with a paper making theory written on the shoulders of giants in exchange for her now no marriage contract but her mother is not punished, and a decree allowing her to enter the palace alone in the future over the You family.

It's not that You Xi can't hear the sarcasm in Emperor Hong Xi's tone, whether it was three years ago or today, she did come to Emperor Hong Xi to show off the wisdom she learned by standing on the shoulders of giants, but she wouldn't rely on those wisdoms to know the truth that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and the dragon's scales are untouchable.

Besides, the You family is not worth saving her, she will not overflow with the heart of the Virgin.

You Xi only didn't notice Emperor Hong Xi's sarcasm, and still said respectfully and sincerely, "Back then, the little girl begged the saint to give the little girl a chance to see the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas of the Rong Dynasty. Over the years, knowing that the army was in urgent need of sugar for military funds, the little girl did not dare to slack off one day, and then found this way to make sugar. ”

You Xi did not tell a lie, although she relied on the education of another bright and splendid country, and predicted that Zhe could make sugar, but she had never planted sugarcane, nor had she used sugarcane to make sugar, at the beginning the sugar she made was either bitter or paste, and there was a smell of slag, it was for three consecutive years, planting sugarcane for ten months every year, and then boiling sugar for two months, day after day, every two months, at least more than 100 pots of sugar, and finally made the fine white sugar offered by today's face saint.

Over the years, the little girl's ambition has not changed, and now she comes to offer candy making for this purpose. It's just that the You family made a mistake, the little girl, as a member of the You family, also has a body of unwashed guilt, the little girl used to think about the mountains and rivers of Dayan in a dignified manner, but it will not be in this life. But the little girl still had a trace of illusions, and begged the Holy Lord to give the little girl a chance to make meritorious contributions to her crimes, so that the little girl could wash away her sins. ”

"And the mother of the little girl, since her father died thirteen years ago, she lived at home, and her whole body and mind were on the little girl, although the little girl was guilty, she had to beg the Holy God to forgive the little girl's mother's guilt."

You Xi actually hated the sitting system, but she still couldn't share the sins of the You clan on herself, so that she and her mother felt as if they had committed a heinous crime, and sincerely and humbly begged for forgiveness from the Lord of the World.

Of course, she also wants to explain the reason in more detail, in addition to her mother, the You family has Yumai and the You family servants who have always been very friendly to her on the ancestral grave, she will save them, and the others will ask for more blessings.

"Wensu, go find some honey and caramel sugar, but the widow wants to see if this cane sugar is really that good."

"Holy Lord, the official has gone to look for honey and starch sugar, and the little girl will write down the method of curing sucrose first." Emperor Hong Xi's face was unfathomable, and You Xi was afraid that he would regret it, so he didn't dare to waste time, and tried his best to show his talents, so that he could show mercy to her subordinates.

"You're sure the widow will like the sugar." Emperor Hong Xi smiled inexplicably.

You Xi said sincerely, "Shengshang, the little girl is actually not sure, originally the little girl can still be in the fine craft, but something happened at home, the little girl wants to enter the Jingzhao Mansion Heavenly Prison to listen to the fate, there is no time, so I hurriedly entered the palace to meet the saint." ”

It's really a smart girl who is good at seeing the stitches and inserting the needle.

Emperor Hong Xi couldn't help but feel more relaxed on his face.

"Wait until the widow has tasted your cane sugar." Emperor Hong Xi glanced at the swimming stream that kept writing, and there was more thought in his eyes.

Emperor Hong Xi's meal, there have always been special people to strictly check and taste, after someone came to check the three kinds of sugar, Emperor Hong Xi first tasted the sucrose brought by Youxi.

Just now, when he saw the people of the Poison Palace eating sucrose, there was a look of surprise on his face, which made him look forward to it.

As soon as the small sugar cube touched his lips, Emperor Hong Xi tasted a sweet taste, standing on the Dan tongue, and then the sweetness burst out, that is, the sugar cube had all melted away, and the whole mouth still had a sweet taste.

In fact, in the past, Suicheng Zhizhou offered sugarcane, but Emperor Hongxi, an uncle who was almost sixty years old, was no longer young, so he felt that sugarcane was troublesome, and the taste was not as good as Suicheng Zhizhou boasted, so he wrote a summons to ask Suicheng Zhizhou not to send this strange thing, and he had not eaten sugarcane in the palace since then.

Now the sugar cane has entered the palace in another form, and the taste is not bad, which he did not expect.

Since he presented an impressive papermaking theory three years ago, he has now given him such a big surprise, which shows that Youxi has really not been idle in the past few years.

is a good girl, but unfortunately she was born in a messy You family, and Emperor Hongxi suddenly regretted it.

Suddenly, Emperor Hong Xi had a flash of inspiration and thought of a solution.

You Xi was born in the You family, but she will not be a You family for the rest of her life, and it is not too late to remove her from the You family now.

Emperor Hong Xi ate a piece of candy with relish, and then calmed down and said, "You Xi, enter the palace, you are not a member of the You family, and your mother and widow can also be protected as appropriate." ”

The river was struck by lightning, and the heartbeat seemed to skip a beat, and the rhythm was unstable again.
