On the twenty-second day of the lunar month, this day ushered in the joy of the housewarming of the Empress Dowager Zhou.

Half a month after the construction of Qingning Palace, after drying the smell, Zhu Youzhu also wanted to show filial piety, and took advantage of the Chinese New Year to let his imperial grandmother live back in this carefully built palace.

On the same day, Zhang Zhou was also invited to attend the ceremony.

The emperor and his wife also attended, Zhu Houzhao followed behind, just because Zhu Xiurong was young and was left in Kunning Palace, plus eunuchs such as the celebrant and the imperial eunuch, there were hundreds of people who accompanied the Empress Dowager Zhou to move.

"Emperor, you have a heart, in a short period of time, the Qingning Palace will be renovated."

Empress Dowager Zhou stood at the gate of Qingning Palace and smiled at Zhu Youji.

Zhu Youzhu said: "It's all Bingkuan, he works hard, and Qingning Palace is completed under his supervision." ”

"Okay." Empress Dowager Zhou looked at Zhang Zhou not far away, and nodded slightly as if she was also very satisfied with Zhang Zhou, "Emperor, meritorious service must be rewarded." ”

"What the Imperial Grandmother said is very true. Grandson helps you in! ”

Zhu Youzhi looked like a filial piety, and personally helped the old lady to go inside.

When Empress Zhang on the side saw this scene, although she didn't show any expression directly, the impatience and disgust in her eyes had been noticed by Zhang Zhou.

O woman, whose husband is good to her, whose vinegar she eats.

……

……

Inside the Qingning Palace.

As soon as the crowd entered, they noticed something different.

Zhu Houzhao shouted: "Why is it so warm here? It's so hot, undress! ”

As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao took off his coat and threw it to Liu Jin, who followed aside.

Zhu Youzhu said with a straight face: "Don't mess around." ”

Zhu Houzhao ignored it, ran directly to the radiator hanging on the side, and looked at it curiously.

Empress Dowager Zhou was also very happy and asked, "Emperor, is this what you said earlier?" ”

"Yes, Grandmother." Zhu Youzhi personally came to inspect two days ago, and he had learned the specific situation, so he took on the task of explaining, "Grandmother Huang, you see, the hot water flows in through the copper pipe next to it, and it is very hot to put it on your hands. ”

Empress Dowager Zhou personally went over to try it, put her hand up, and quickly retracted it: "It's a little hot." ”

The newly added heating in the palace, the person in charge of boiling the water does not dare to slack off at all, and can burn as hot as it gets.

Zhang Zhou followed in, estimating that the temperature in the room soared to thirty degrees, but outside it was freezing below zero, and the temperature contrast was so great, it was no wonder that Zhu Houzhao had to take off his clothes as soon as he came in.

"Open the windows and let in the air."

Empress Dowager Zhou herself couldn't stand it.

She can't take off her clothes directly like her great-grandson, so she can only do it in another way.

Then Xiao Jing hurriedly went over and ordered people to open a few windows on the side.

Empress Dowager Zhou said: "It's really not easy, emperor, if you do this, won't you waste firewood?" ”

Zhu Youzhu glanced at Zhang Zhou with a smile, and then turned around and replied: "Don't worry, grandmother Huang, I have asked, this is more economical than using charcoal wood for heating, and it is not even half of the previous materials." ”

In the past, the air was heated directly by lighting charcoal, but now it is enough to boil water with ordinary charcoal, which also improves the utilization rate.

"That's good."

Empress Dowager Zhou knew that now her grandson admired the rule of diligence and thrift, and she could not take the lead in wasting it.

And Zhang Zhou's move not only made her feel warm, but also fit the theme of royal frugality, of course she was happy.

Zhang Zhou thought on the side, how much is that charcoal worth? The copper pipes of this set alone are enough to burn charcoal for more than ten years......

But it's okay to help me develop talents.

Zhang Zhou used the matter of making copper pipes to contact the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry, these people can not only help cast copper pipes, but also cast other metal accessories, Zhang Zhou can be said to have found a group of talents who can be used by him, there are Xiao Jing threading needles, these people have been able to help him complete the research and development of some castings.

It's a pity that these people are all eating imperial grain, a craft that has been passed down from generation to generation.

Artisan households cannot be separated, and they cannot change jobs.

Many people have long wanted to get out of the artisan household, and Zhang Zhou also thought that he could take advantage of this to absorb this group of people when he turned around, not only to solve the problem of household registration transfer, but also to give high salaries, which would definitely attract the top group of people.

"Father, it's so good here, the East Palace of the sons and daughters also needs to be heated......"

Zhu Houzhao heard that his father introduced it so well, and he thought that he was shivering and smoky at night, so of course he wanted to come to a set.

"Nonsense!"

Zhu Youzhu was showing filial piety there, and a boy here told him what unfilial piety was.

Empress Dowager Zhou smiled and said: "Emperor, don't blame the prince, he is a child, and his temperament is relatively straightforward...... Come here, let the mourners see. ”

"Okay."

Zhu Houzhao pretended to be innocent and cute, and ran to the old lady.

Even Zhu Houzhao knew that this imperial grandmother doted on him even more than his parents, and he could pretend to be cute and coquettish in front of the old lady.

Empress Dowager Zhou touched her great-grandson's head and said with a smile: "The mourning family is old, and when the mourning family is not there in the future, you will live here, okay?" ”

"Uh......" No matter how nonsense Zhu Houzhao is, he can hear it, this is a question that can't be answered casually.

Zhu Youzhu said: "The imperial grandmother is in the middle of a thousand years. ”

Saying that he lives a long life and is a hundred years old, he doesn't have many years to live, but he can only say that he has lived for a thousand years.

Empress Dowager Zhou sighed: "People must know the destiny of heaven, and they can't force it, but now the mourning family is surrounded by four generations in the same house, and they are satisfied." The only extravagant wish of the mourning family is to see the prince grow up in the future, watch the prince get married and have children, so that the mourning family can live together for five generations......"

Hearing this, Zhu Youzhi and his son did not react.

Empress Zhang's face on the other side changed instantly.

Zhang Zhou, as an outsider, saw it most clearly, the old lady didn't say a word to Queen Zhang, the granddaughter-in-law, but used her strength to beat Queen Zhang to the point of "incompleteness".

The mourning family can't persuade you husband and wife, don't expect you husband and wife, count on your great-grandson, right?

Zhu Youzhu didn't seem to hear anything, and said with a smile: "The imperial grandmother will definitely be able to see it." Prince, why don't you go and clean up the cushion for the Queen Mother? Bingkuan, you also come and sit ......"

……

……

seems to be a harmonious family, four generations of grandparents, although one generation did not appear, but it can be regarded as a group.

Zhang Zhou felt as if he shouldn't come to this kind of place.

However, looking at the royal people, especially the open and secret battles between grandmothers and granddaughters-in-law, Zhang Zhou also thinks it is very interesting.

After the Empress Dowager Zhou sat upright, she finally took off the big hat.

Because it's too hot.

Then he chatted with his grandson as if he was gossiping, and basically didn't take Queen Zhang seriously.

Then it led to a seemingly "alternative" topic: "...... The mourning family heard that recently, a talented woman appeared in the capital, and wrote a poem that was widely recited, and Luoyang paper was expensive for a while! ”

"Really?"

Zhu Youzhi said in his heart that I was the emperor, so naturally I would not know about this kind of thing.

As soon as the Empress Dowager Zhou stretched out her hand, Jiang Lu next to her took out a piece of paper from her arms, and the Empress Dowager Zhou gestured and handed it to Zhu Youzhu and said: "Emperor, look at it, the mourning family didn't expect that Daming could produce such a talented woman, 'gambling books are so fragrant that tea is spilled, and it was only ordinary at that time', just this sentence is comparable to Li Yi'an!" ”

Zhu Youzhu took the paper and looked at the words on it, a little confused.

Zhang Zhou was observing Empress Zhang.

Old lady, do you want to make it a little more obvious?

Your grandson doesn't understand anything about men and women or lumps of wood, but can your granddaughter-in-law not understand? Even if she is only a shallow learner, can't she hear that you intend to admire this talented woman, and recommend it to the emperor......

"The mourning family doesn't understand much, you give it a tasting." Empress Dowager Zhou still has the heart to ask.

"What kind of poems, can Erchen read them?"

Zhu Houzhao has the mentality of a bear child, and feels that wherever he goes, he should be the focus of attention, but now he is talking about a talented poet, and he also wants to join in the fun.

In Zhu Houzhao's opinion, isn't it just "flying down 3,000 feet, thousands of miles together"?

Hongu also knows poetry!

After reading it, Zhu Youzhu nodded and said: "It's very good, there is sadness in the grace, but I don't know why she has such a mentality." ”

It is difficult for the average person to understand.

A little girl who has not been out of the cabinet, has not experienced the polishing of the world, and has not experienced any national enemies and haters who hate their lovers to die in vain, where did Li Qingzhao write this kind of poem in his state of mind?

Looking at the poems, it seems that I like to drink a lot, is it really for the sake of imitating Li Yi'an?

Empress Dowager Zhou said: "This woman is the daughter of the Northern Prince's priest Jiulin Hengda, it is also a coincidence, she entered the palace a few days ago, and the mourning family has also seen it in the palace back garden, and she was born with a gentle and elegant flower and a beautiful ......."

Just say, Your Majesty, why don't you take someone into the palace and be a concubine!

The mourning family has already cleared you through, it's okay!

"Grandmother, can we say something else?"

Empress Zhang finally couldn't help it, and in a "polite" tone, she interrupted Empress Dowager Zhou's further in-depth discussion on this matter.

Empress Zhang's sudden interjection made the scene somewhat embarrassing, even Zhu Youzhu didn't expect his wife to be so direct, and then he seemed to understand that the imperial grandmother was pulling fiber for him.

Empress Dowager Zhou's face was instantly gloomy, like a black cat hiding in the dark behind the room, and her pupils seemed to have a black line that could burst out at any time.

But because her grandson was still present, she couldn't have a seizure.

Zhang Zhouxin said, here it is.

After waiting for a long time, I finally saw this scene of the struggle between my grandmother and my granddaughter-in-law, no matter how awesome and filial you are, even if you don't have a mother-in-law or daughter-in-law conflict, but there is not this yet.

Not only to be a filial son and grandson, but also to have a good relationship between husband and wife?

Are you a saint when you are?

Zhang Zhou took advantage of this moment and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I don't know if you can show this poem to the minister?" ”

Zhu Youzhi seemed to have finally found the bottom of the steps, and said with a reluctant smile: "Imperial grandmother, Bingkuan's poetry attainments are not low, and a peach blossom poem was also widely circulated in the capital before. Bingkuan, you can take a look! ”

said that Dai Yi passed the paper to Zhang Zhou, and he also gave Zhang Zhoubao a look of "hurry up and come out to resolve the embarrassing scene".

Zhang Zhou took the paper, put it down with just a sweep of his eyes, and said, "From the perspective of Yichen, this poem is a bit of a disease-free moan. ”

Empress Dowager Zhou frowned and looked at Zhang Zhoudao: "Bingkuan, why do you have such an opinion?" ”

Zhang Zhoudao: "The second lady of the Lin family has not been out of the cabinet and has not experienced the world, how can she have such a deep understanding of life and death?" When I look at this poem, it doesn't look like it was written by a woman, but it seems to be a man's nostalgia for his deceased wife, and he has never experienced it. ”

"You ......"

Empress Dowager Zhou listened to it, although she felt that Zhang Zhou's words made sense.

But she was still a little annoyed.

Who the hell are you helping?
