The Coral of the Red Mansion Does Not Return

It was Princess Nan'an who spoke for her.

Princess Bei Jing also waved her handkerchief and said with a smile: "The old lady is envious of your son's filial piety, hey, if my boy can remember to give me a set of golden noodles, I will recognize it even if it is tacky!"

After saying this, the ladies all laughed.

Even the eldest princess couldn't help saying to Princess Beijing: "What a clever talker, I really love it."

Princess Beijing generously thanked the Eldest Princess for her compliment.

Liu was even more curious.

Although Princess Nan'an was quite at odds with the old princess, it was just the nature of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and she never refuted her mother-in-law's reasoning in front of outsiders; Don't be afraid that the old princess of Nan'an will be angry; the reaction of the old princess of Nan'an is even more strange. Usually, whoever loses her face, she is hurt here or there.

The ladies chatted and laughed a few more words, although they didn't praise Liu Shi in every sentence, they praised Jia Hu inside and outside the words, which confused Liu Shi. Jia Hu was a scholar and Zhongjuren back then, and they were not so enthusiastic. ah.

Mrs. Liu looked at the eldest princess, could it be that what does this have to do with the Zhao family?

Looking at Liu's puzzled eyes, Mrs. Tang laughed loudly and said, "Hey, Mrs. Jia doesn't know anything yet!"

The eldest princess didn't expect that the two men of the Jia family didn't tell Mrs. Jia, she couldn't help wondering: "Mrs. Jia didn't know?" After speaking, she laughed again: "I forgot, Mr. Jia is still in the palace and hasn't come back yet. Woolen cloth."

The Princess Bei Jing said: "We only heard a shadow, and we don't know if it's real." Then she looked at the Eldest Princess.These wives don't enter the palace in leisure time, only the eldest princess often visits the queen mother in the palace.

Princess Dachang nodded with a smile, and said to Mrs. Liu: "A few days ago, Mr. Jia wrote a booklet and presented a prescription that benefited the country and the people to His Majesty, saying that it was invented by Mr. Jia, and His Majesty called him into the palace today. "

When Mrs. Liu heard this, her heart finally dropped.A few days ago, Hu'er said that she would give her a surprise on her birthday, could it be this?But compared to this, what Liu wants to hear more is the news of Jia Hu's victory in the Toad Palace.

Mrs. Liu sighed secretly, but with a smile on her face, she said: "It's a joke to say it, my Hu'er has been mysterious recently, and I haven't got any news about it. - I don't know what the prescription is? "

The Eldest Princess thought for a while, and then said: "I heard from the queen mother, what is 'cement', it is water and mud, I don't know what it is used for, but the emperor is very happy very."

The wives were secretly startled, and they all talked about it in the Empress Dowager's palace. It seems that this prescription really pleased the emperor.

Today, he is the eldest son. Although he was established as the prince since he was a child, he fought fiercely with his brothers when he grew up. Since he ascended the throne, none of the brothers has survived. There is only one elder sister, who is now the eldest princess. People were spared, even so, the eldest princess was also injured because she was murdered when she gave birth to her son, and the Zhao family had no children after that.

The seizure of the heirloom was so tragic that the prince had to force the palace in the end. Fortunately, Duke Rong's subordinates turned against him temporarily, which made the prince easily win.It was precisely because Rong Guogong was a royalist that he had to retreat behind the scenes.The Queen Mother, on the other hand, was tired of the struggle in the palace, so she closed the palace gates on weekdays, and only became lively when the Eldest Princess entered the palace.

Empress Dowager Gu Nian only wants to take care of her life, and she rarely bothers her with political affairs. It seems that this time, she is too happy to mention it when talking to the Empress Dowager.

The ladies became more enthusiastic.One of the general's wives said with a smile: "We don't know anything about the outside world. What kind of water and mud have somehow become good things that benefit the country and the people. In my opinion, it is better than 'turning a stone into gold'." Nothing bad."

All the wives praised one after another, while the Eldest Princess smiled and listened to the compliments from time to time.

Tang shi, on the other hand, chatted with Liu shi about the children in a low voice.

Tang said with a smile: "My Ziming and Mr. Jia are good friends. Now I have a grandson. Mr. Jia's marriage is still undecided?" This is about Tang's second daughter-in-law, Mr. Tang, about two months ago. A big fat boy was born.

Mrs. Liu also knew about it, and she even went to attend the full moon banquet at the Princess' Palace in person.She nodded with a bitter face, and said: "There is still one thing that is still unclear. If it is not resolved, Hu'er's marriage will still be delayed."

Tang Shi wondered, "What's the matter?"

Mrs. Liu remembered the letter from the Zhou family, and thought that the Tang family had contacts with the Zhou family, so she asked in a low voice, "Do you know the Zhou family? The Zhou family in Jinling." The Zhou family she was talking about was Zhou Ren's father. that room.Except for the head of the Zhou family who has not become an official and is still in Jinling, the other houses are scattered all over the world as local officials.

"But the family of Mr. Zhou, the eldest son of the former dean's family of Jiangnan Academy?"

Liu Shi nodded and looked at her with hope in his eyes.

Tang said with a smile: "That's a coincidence, my natal sister-in-law is Mr. Zhou's younger sister, but the Tang family is in the capital, and the Zhou family is in Jinling. Letters arrive quite frequently on weekdays, but we seldom see each other."

Not only is it rare, if it wasn't for going to Beijing to report on his work, Zhou would never have the opportunity to meet his natal family.

Mrs. Liu was also a little disappointed, but still asked: "Do you know how the Zhou family's concubine's temperament is?"

Tang immediately laughed, and jokingly said: "I know this, but I'm going to tell you, do you have money to thank the matchmaker?"

Seeing that Liu's face was not happy but rather sad, Tang was really curious this time, restrained the chuckle on his face, and said seriously: "What's the matter? Tell me quickly."

Mrs. Liu thought to herself, if the engagement and other words were announced first, if the marriage failed, wouldn't it be difficult for Zhou's daughter to marry.Thinking of this level, Liu shi did not mention this section, and only urged Tang shi to speak quickly.

Tang had no choice but to speak first.After all, there is a layer of kinship, which is closer than the Liu family who is far away, so naturally they only talk about good things.

The only thing is that the grandfather's health is not very good, and it seems that it has happened in the past two years. The daughter of Zhou's family will reach her birthday this year.

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu frowned.

The Tang family is not happy anymore, what's wrong with Zhou's prostitute daughter?

Mrs. Liu had no choice but to explain, saying: "From what you said, that daughter has her own ideas. My family's Hu'er has too many ideas. Both of them have the same temper. I'm afraid they won't get along well."

Even so, there is nothing wrong with it.

Tang's two sons are both married, and she came from here, so she persuaded: "If you sincerely want to find a wife for your son, it's useless to just think about it yourself, you have to ask what your son likes."

Mrs. Liu said that she was very right, and did not bring up this topic again, and the two talked casually again.

The wives of the Dachang Princess' Mansion were chatting and laughing among the flowers, while Jia Hu was facing the emperor directly in the palace.

This is Jia Hu's first time seeing the emperor, so there is a subtle feeling.He does not have the insistence of a modern man who has a daughter at his knees, even if he kneels down to salute, it will not interrupt his arrogance.

The emperor on the throne looked at Jia Hu, whose back was straight although his head was bowed, and secretly admired him.

It was rare for him to love talents, so the emperor asked a few words, and when he learned that Jia Hu had passed the autumn, he praised a few words.His main thought was still on the cement.

"Jia Hu, besides cement, do you have other discoveries?"

That's right, Jia Hu lied that he accidentally discovered cement made by a craftsman, so he felt that it had great potential.Otherwise, how to explain how a student who was studying hard suddenly invented cement.

Jia Hu pondered for a moment, then said: "The students also found one thing, soap."

"Oh?" The emperor asked with great interest, "What is the use of this thing?"

"Return to the emperor, this thing can be used for body cleaning."

Nothing else?The emperor's eyes fully expressed this meaning, but it's a pity that Jia Hu's head was lowered and he couldn't see.

However, from the long silence above, Jia Hu might have sensed it, and said: "Ordinary soaps are cheap to make, and ordinary people can afford them; there are also expensive ones, which are added with various floral fragrances or medicinal materials, which have medicinal value."

The emperor was not interested in these things, so he only asked a few words to make sure that there was nothing else, and finally revealed the true meaning of calling Jia Hu into the palace: "Jia Enhou said this is your discovery, since that's the case, Jia Hu, you What reward do you want?"

Jia Hu said without hesitation: "Students only discover people, and they dare not take credit." Even so, it is the officials who reported the big things, not the craftsmen.

Sure enough, the emperor said: "That's not necessary, the craftsman has already received the reward from the Ministry of Industry." After pondering for a moment, the emperor said: "Come here, pass on my will."

"...Jia She is good at teaching his son now,... Jia She is the Duke of Rong, and Jia Hu is the son of the Duke of Rong." The door of the Rong Mansion was opened wide, and the incense table was set up. After a long tone, read the imperial decree.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Everyone in the Jia family kowtowed excitedly, the eunuch's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Rong, accept the order."

Jia She received the imperial decree with tears in his eyes, and his face glowed instantly.Three generations of Dukes of the Rongguo Mansion!What an honor!This is all thanks to his son!Son is great!

Jia Xuaner Kuangmo She praised her son when she met recently, Jia Hu couldn't hold back no matter how thick-skinned she was, she locked herself in the study, and only said to the outside world that she was studying behind closed doors and preparing for next spring.

Not to mention the aftermath, but to say that the emperor summoned Jia Hu during the day and went to Concubine Shu's Ningxin Palace at night.

Concubine Shu was getting older, and when she was with the emperor, she mostly covered herself with quilts and just chatted, and it was the same today.

The emperor sighed: "Aifei's younger sister gave birth to a good son."

Concubine Shu said angrily: "Your Majesty, stop making fun of the concubine. The nephew of the concubine is just lucky. If someone else comes, he will report to the court." It is 'yes', but not 'want'.

The emperor smiled lowly, obviously very fond of it, Concubine Shu's carefulness was very cute in his eyes.Considering that Concubine Shu has only two daughters, the Liu family and the Jia family are both neutral. Although he connives at his subordinates participating in the seizure of the heir apparent, the emperor still thinks that those who are only loyal to him are more pleasing to the eye.

It is said that looking at a beautiful woman under the lamp, the Concubine Shu under the dim light has a charming and charming style. With this wave of eyes, half of the emperor's body is crisp, and he can't help but move his index finger.
