Outside the Zhengyang Gate in the south of the city, in a workshop of Zhang Zhou.

Zhang Zhou was wearing wide overalls and heavy gloves on his hands, and was directing the workers to work, while Xiao Jing had a temporary apron, saying that he wanted to come in to help, but when Xiao Jing saw that it was a place where the glass was burned, and the red glass water seemed to be able to burn his hands in an instant, he didn't dare to ask for any help.

"Grandpa Xiao, when I finish this furnace, I will enter the palace with you."

Xiao Jing came to Zhang Zhou for the purpose of informing Zhang Zhou to enter the palace.

In the coming day, Zhang Zhou will be assigned to the Hanlin Academy as a history museum for revision, and one day in advance, Zhang Zhou will implement the flat glass in advance.

It is not only to facilitate the next batch of glass mirrors, but also to make a batch of window glasses for the palace, which is also what Zhang Zhou mentioned to Zhu Youji, and Zhu Youzhu pointed out what he wanted to purchase.

Whether a new item is good or not, you can see if you are qualified to be a tribute, anyway, now Zhu Youzhi and his son are also very concerned about Zhang Zhou's inventions, but all new items are basically shown to them first, and they will be used in the palace first.

……

As the large iron plates are put together, the glass of water is brought out by pulling in a sandwich manner, and then it is quickly cooled with cold water.

A whole piece of glass is just made like this.

Although the defective rate is still very high, it can basically meet the needs of mass production of glass.

Modularity still needs to be improved, after Zhang Zhou saw it, he was not very satisfied with the accuracy of the iron plate, and when the commander made a few pieces of glass, he no longer cared about these semi-finished products that had not been completely cooled, and instead took Xiao Jing to the warehouse next door.

"Mr. Zhang, that's what it is...... Do you make windows? "Xiao Jing just heard about it.

But he wasn't sure.

In the past, glaze was mostly used as gems or handicrafts, and it was fired in large quantities like Zhang Zhou instead of window paper...... Xiao Jing still didn't quite understand.

Zhang Zhou nodded: "Ordinary people naturally can't afford to use it, but the palace, just use some good things." The window is bright and clean, when you let Your Majesty and the crown prince deal with court affairs and study, are you in a better mood? ”

"This ...... You really have a loyal heart. ”

Xiao Jing didn't know how to praise Zhang Zhou.

You send some good things to the palace...... I won't say that you want to get funds to continue to do these strange researches, anyway, Your Majesty and the crown prince like it, and you can watch it.

Zhang Zhou took Xiao Jing to visit the window frame that had been formed, and the glass had been bound on it, because it was all ordered by the palace, in terms of pattern carving, etc., it was not an ordinary wooden frame spliced together, and the glass was also directly sandwiched between the two window edges, and it was not reinforced with nails.

"That's the finished product."

Zhang Zhou asked the two workers to hold up a window leaf and show it to Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing leaned over and touched it, and asked, "So it's not airy?" ”

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "There will still be wind through the gaps in the glass, but it is much better than ordinary papier-mâché windows, and more importantly, the light can be more transmitted into the room." ”

"Yes, yes." Xiao Jing looked at it and liked it very much.

When he has the identity of Xiao Jing, he also knows how to pursue some high-quality life.

Xiao Jing was also pondering in his heart at this time.

I didn't expect it to sound very unreliable, but it looks so exquisite, if you wait for the palace to be replaced, you should also ask this Mr. Zhang to buy a set back...... It's really a good way to make the windows clear.

……

……

The weather was very good, the sun was shining, and the temperature warmed up in late March of the lunar calendar.

Palace.

Inside the palace garden.

Zhu Youji's family is enjoying the spring scenery in their own imperial garden, the stone table and stone bench are too cold, the eunuch has already moved a wide table over, not only Zhu Youzhi and Empress Zhang are there, but even Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Xiurong's two children are also there.

Just when the family was enjoying the spring scenery.

Zhang Zhou is "working".

To be precise, he was looking at the feng shui of the palace, even if he had mentioned to the emperor many times that he didn't understand this, but the emperor just asked for peace of mind, and he had to let him go everywhere to see if there was anything wrong, which also made the palace nervous for a long time.

Everyone was afraid that Zhang Zhou would see something bad, so that Xiao Jing, Yang Peng and others all greeted Zhang Zhou, saying that they saw a pickled corner somewhere, just mention it to them, and they will let people rectify it.

As a result, Zhang Zhou only walked around the palace garden for a while, and then returned to Zhu Youji.

"Bingkuan, how's that?" Zhu Youzhu raised his head and looked at Zhang Zhou with a smile.

Zhang Zhou arched his hand and was about to reply, but Zhu Youzhu raised his hand and said, "Sit down and say." ”

Zhang Zhou looked back at the family of four across the table.

Empress Zhang was staring at him with a lukewarm gaze, while Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Xiurong were fighting for milk tea: "...... Yours is sprinkled, don't touch mine. ”

"It's good."

Zhang Zhou sat down at this time.

Joke.

The feng shui of the Ming Palace is good or bad, and you still use him to see it?

If you want to say what this palace may bring to the Ming Dynasty, the most important thing is probably that you, the emperor, will burp in six years.

Zhang Zhou had thought about it a long time ago, and he still couldn't tell the emperor about it, it was said that Zhu Youji's death was a medical accident, but the specific reason was not known, and with his existence, maybe Zhu Youji's catastrophe would come sooner or later, because the butterfly effect generated by the people around him was the largest, and Zhu Youzhu was also one of them.

Now Zhu Youji's body is much better than in history, which Zhang Zhou discovered.

"Stop fighting." Zhu Youzhu was about to say something to Zhang Zhou, but found that his son was a little untreated as an elder brother, glared at his son, picked up his milk tea, and asked the eunuch to hand it to Zhu Xiurong, "I have drunk it." Prince, sit solemnly and listen to you, Mr. Zhang. ”

"It's her...... Oh. ”

Zhu Houzhao still wanted to argue, but when he saw that his father and Zhang Zhou were looking at him with stern eyes, he should not answer.

"Giggle......

Zhu Xiurong is like a little hen again, enjoying the milk tea her father gave her.

Zhu Youzhu said: "Bingkuan, I have been feeling restless recently, do you know what the reason is?" Could there be something unclean that haunts the palace? ”

When you are an emperor, you are probably afraid of death.

Zhang Zhou can still think so, when the emperor thinks that many unjust souls may find the palace, after all, the palace guards can only block the living, but can't stop the unjust souls from approaching, plus Zhu Youzhi himself believes in those things that the gods and gods talk about, as well as his mental illness...... It's easy to make him suspicious.

"Your Majesty, it's all right." Zhang Zhou said, "The palace feng shui is elegant, how can there be demons?" ”

Empress Zhang also said: "Your Majesty is too careful, I see that it is still Mr. Zhang...... Make it clear. ”

"yes, I've thought too much."

Zhu Youzhu smiled, as if he had just let go of his heart.

Zhang Zhou looked at Empress Zhang.

She also changed sex today? Instead, use a gesture of goodwill, and make an alliance with him?

Zhang Zhou was also thinking, no matter what your attitude towards me is, or what your relationship with the emperor is, I know history and know that the Ming Dynasty is broken in this vein, I can't just let the emperor marry you, it's still okay to take a concubine or something...... Wait until I get to Zhu Houzhao's time to do this...... The woman next to that kid was never pregnant, and the devil knows if he was a natural mule?

It's easier to lay a hand on your husband than it is to do it on your son.

Zhu Youzhu smiled at Zhang Zhou and beckoned, "Bingkuan, show you something good." ”

Zhang Zhou cast his gaze over.

Then Zhu Youzhu asked the eunuch to bring over a wooden box, and after opening it, it was a jade handle, Zhu Youzhu took it in his hand and showed it to Zhang Zhou: "The jade paid tribute by Turpan is carved by skilled craftsmen, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Zhou took it and took a look.

The heart said, "I am familiar with this thing."

In the later generations of the Palace Museum, the "Green Jade Peach Source Asking for Pictures" was placed here? If this thing can be passed down as a family heirloom......

Zhang Zhouzheng was thinking, and Zhu Youzhu said: "It's useless for me to take it, I'll give it to you." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister can't receive it." Zhang Zhouxin said, you can reward me with some ordinary things, I don't dare to accept this thing.

Mainly...... If you take it back, you can't sell it for money, and you can put it at home...... It's not good for me to collect this kind of thing, and for me, as a time-traveler, it can't be realized into something that changes the times, it's all flashy.

Zhu Youzhu said: "When you enter the palace today, you have nothing to give you, so you will be regarded as your reward." Tomorrow you are going to enter the Hanlin Academy, and someone over there will arrange for you to enter the palace to speak, and it will be regarded as the champion of the crown prince and the shackles of the prince's teacher, so there is no need to shirk. ”

Then Zhu Youzhu almost forced things into Zhang Zhou's hands.

Dai Yi next to him reminded with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, don't you seem to like it?" ”

Zhang Zhoudao: "Your Majesty, in fact, the minister is a layman, gold, silver and jewelry or something is acceptable, this thing is ......"

"Bingkuan, you want gold, silver and jewelry, I can't reward you yet, this court also needs gold and silver." Zhu Youzhu smiled and said, "If you really feel that this thing is a failure, you will sell it and exchange it for gold, silver and jewelry, and you can see for yourself." ”

Zhang Zhou smiled bitterly: "How can a minister not be interested? ”

The things given by the emperor, even if the emperor says that you can cash in, you can't be a courtier.

Zhu Youzhu looked at his wife and children opposite and said, "It's okay, it's all a family, and there will be this kind of reward in the future." Prince, I have given your husband a restraint, and you will have to study hard in the future. ”

Zhu Houzhao was muttering: "I don't have good things myself, why don't you give them to me?" Reading well is not encouraged? ”

"Be louder!"

Zhu Youzhu thought that his son was making a statement, but his voice was small and he couldn't hear it.

Only then did Zhu Houzhao say aloud: "I know! ”

There is also a lot of impatience.

……

……

The capital, the official residence of Chengguo.

In the backyard, Ning Tong was already packing up her belongings, and after she got the "letter of divorce" from her husband to her, he was ready to wait for her husband to come back, and he officially moved out of the Zhu family, which has nothing to do with the Zhu family from then on.

"Miss, it's not good, it's not good!"

The little maid ran in in a hurry, and when she crossed the threshold, she almost didn't fall down, and after a few stumbles, she held on to the pillar before she stood still.

Ning Tong said with an indifferent face: "The things in this door, whether they are good or not, have nothing to do with me. ”

The little maid hurriedly said: "It's not this, it's Mrs. Cheng Guotai...... She's already in the capital! I heard that our master also came with her......"

"What? Father he ......"

Ning Tong has a firm belief in the matter of his reconciliation with Zhu Feng.

And she thinks that although her father Ning Zhen was born in a military household, he later became a magistrate with Gongsheng, and he is considered a civil official, so why will he not be subject to the Chengguo Mansion, right?

But Ning Tong now feels that his uncle, as well as the forces of the Ning family behind him, are still in the military, and they have to rely on the Chengguo Mansion more, if they leave the ...... It may affect the fate of the entire family.

"Miss, it seems that the eldest grandfather was also called over by Mrs. Tai, if you ask about this matter, will it ...... Let the slaves and maids suffer with them? ”

The little maid's words made Ning Tong glance at her.

Feelings, you cry with a sad face, tell me so much, not for your young lady I feel worried.

Are you worried about your own fate?

Ning Tong said angrily: "I will definitely suffer, sell you to the kiln, and make you lonely for the rest of your life, you wait." ”

"Miss, do you still have the heart to scare the slave maid at this time?"

The little maid probably also knew that although her own lady usually spoke coldly to her, she was really reluctant to sell her.

"Even if it is sold, the slave maid and the young lady are sold together, and the slave maid has been with Miss Ding in this life!" The maid said.

"Phew!"

Ning Tong scolded.

The already firm mind, closing the shell of the egg, seemed to have an extra crack, which made her uneasy.

……

……

In a courtyard in the city, it is the annex of the Chengguo Mansion to house the Chengguo Prince's wife, Zhu Hu.

When the family of the Chengguo Mansion goes to the capital, they can basically live in the official office, and they can take care of both official and private affairs, but if the old mother wants to support them, they must change to a quiet place, so after Zhu Hu arrived in Beijing, he did not live with his children and grandchildren.

“…… Outrageous! It took less than half a year for her to enter the Beijing Division, and she caused such a big thing! What is her identity, dare to mention and leave? ”

Zhu Hu was angry.

In front of her, there were three people standing, in addition to her eldest grandson Zhu Lin, there were two "outsiders", that is, Ning Tong's father Ning Zhen, and Ning Tong's uncle, who is still in command of Jianyang Weidu.

Zhu Hu's words were actually said to the Ning family.

We married a girl from your Ning family in the Chengguo Mansion, and now this girl actually dares to mention and leave?

It's really going to be a shame on our Chengguo Mansion, don't you Ning family plan to mix up in the local area in the future?

Zhu Lin said: "Grandmother, you are angry. ”

In fact, Zhu Lin understands his younger brother and daughter-in-law very well in this regard.

What is the situation of the two of them, when the elder brother sees it clearly, plus the young man may be more open-minded, Zhu Lin does not think that the younger brother and his brother-in-law will be reconciled.

Ning Peng glared at his younger brother and said, "Second brother, how did you teach your daughter?" ”

Compared with Ning Zhen, who used to be a county magistrate, and now he no longer relies on the treatment of military households to survive, Ning Peng still has to work in the local health office, but he can't afford to offend the Zhu family, he can only teach his younger brother a lesson, which probably means letting his younger brother control his daughter.

Ning Zhen was also confused, and said helplessly: "It's ...... Completely unaware of this. Speaking of which, I haven't seen a little girl in many years......"

Ning Tong was not happy in the Chengguo Mansion, and she was married to Nanjing, Ning Tong also hated her family for harming her marriage, so she basically cut off contact with her family later, and occasionally wrote a letter back to say that it was not painful.

In this year.

The water spilled by the daughter who was originally married would make the neighbors think that she had been divorced by her husband, and that after the woman got married, she would follow her husband and her husband to die, and she would not return to her parents' house if she had nothing to do.

"Then why don't you go and talk to your niece?"

Ning Peng was in a hurry.

Zhu Hu said coldly: "My grandson Zhijie has never been qualified to inherit the prince before, but he has his own ability and has been promoted to An Bianbo." Now that he has opened a mansion to set up affairs, people serve in front of the army, there can be no chaos in the back house, whoever makes me become a laughing stock for others, I will not let her have a good time! ”

"Yes, Mrs. Tai, you are angry, and let my younger brother persuade my niece, and this kind of thing will not happen again."

Ning Peng almost patted his chest and said, This matter is on me.

……

……

Ning Tong's desire to reconcile with Zhu Feng was directly hindered.

Zhu Hu directly took Zhu Lin to the official office with a murderous spirit, and before he arrived, he asked people to notify Ning Tong and let him kneel at the door of the back hall and wait.

Ning Tong is also stubborn.

There was no turning back from the bow.

Since he decided to reconcile and divorce from his husband, he could not give up because he was dissuaded, as for the Ning family...... She felt that the Ning family should not need a female offspring of their own to bear anything.

Kneel and kneel, let her admit her mistake and take back the matter, but she can't do it.

Zhu Hu went to the official office.

met the main relatives of the Chengguo Mansion in Beijing, and the guests all came to talk to her, the housewife.

From the Chengguo Mansion to Zhu Fu's generation, the branches have been dispersed.

In addition, the Chengguo Mansion has recently been appreciated by the emperor, and Zhu Fu and Zhu Feng, father and son, have been entrusted with important tasks, and there are naturally many people who come to tie up.

Zhu Hu's attitude was still kind when he saw the guests, but after meeting the guests, his attitude towards Zhu Lin was not so pleasant.

"Your father and younger brother are not in Beijing, how do you run the family?"

Previously, Zhu Hu was embarrassed to teach her eldest grandson a lesson in front of outsiders, but now she couldn't help it.

Zhu Lin said: "Grandmother, don't be angry first, you should know the situation of Zhijie, he ......"

"You say?"

The old lady glared at her eldest grandson.

What kind of bullshit does Zhu Zhijie look like, others don't know, can you be a grandmother?

Zhu Lin sighed: "In the past two years, Zhijie has brought everyone back to the house, and this time he went to Liaodong to enter and exit at the same time...... This made the second brother-in-law very embarrassed...... No one is to blame. ”

"Bang!"

Zhu Hu slapped the table and said, "Even if she dies in the Guogong Mansion, it is her creation!" ”

Zhu Lin originally wanted to say a few words for his younger siblings, but when he heard this, he didn't say anything.

Who made the most incompetent person in the Zhu family now the eldest grandson?

Let go to war, incapable; let a son inherit the incense, and a bunch of wives and concubines have not moved recently; Now that the old lady is coming to the capital, she actually blames him for not bringing up the family style?

Where's all this? Does it have anything to do with me?

The whole thing was that he began to doubt life.

As he was talking, the mother-in-law who had been sent by the old lady to search Ning Tong's room came back, carrying a bag of things in her hand, and threw them on the ground and said, "Mrs. Tai, I just checked, and I found these things in the bedroom of the second young lady." There is also this booklet...... It is a thing of the wind and the moon, and it is unbearable. ”

As he spoke, someone behind escorted Ning Tong's little maid in and pressed her to the ground.

Zhu Hu took the book handed over by his mother-in-law, flipped through a few pages, became angry, threw the book to the ground, and said angrily: "Say, your wife, but there is someone outside?" And where do these books come from? If you don't confess, pull her out, and kill or maim her! ”
