The Red Mansion's Doting Wife Maniac

Doctor Qin was invited in, and then sent out, less than a quarter of an hour before and after.

Daiyu looked at Shen's blushing cheeks, got up and said goodbye with interest, "I still have some things to deal with in the yard, so I'll go back first."

"Oh, then you can go back." Shen got up and sent her out.

Back at Mingxin Courtyard, Daiyu originally wanted to go to the Nuan Pavilion, but on the way, she involuntarily came to Chen Yunju's study.

Chen Yun was practicing calligraphy when he saw Daiyu coming in and put down his pen, "Didn't you go to sister-in-law's house to help with the housework? Did you finish cooking so soon?"

"I haven't finished cooking..." Daiyu shook her head and sat down at the table.

Chen Yun sat down beside her, "Then why are you back?"

"Princess Qin is here." Daiyu said.

Chen Yun raised his eyebrows, "What is Imperial Physician Qin doing here?"

"Give my sister-in-law a safe pulse."

Chen Yun heard the words and said, "Our family has a rule of asking for Ping'an pulse, but the whole family asks for Ping'an pulse every three months. The last time I asked for Ping'an's pulse was in mid-December, and the next Ping'an pulse should be next time." Fifteenth of the month."

"When I was in my boudoir, my mother's family also had a peace pulse, but it was once every six months. Why is it once every three months at home?" Daiyu felt that this frequency was a bit frequent.

The imperial physicians in the imperial hospital treat the nobles in the palace. Even if they are officials, people with no power and power cannot invite the imperial physicians to come to their door.

Of course, the Chen family is not included.

Even so, it is a bit frequent to invite the imperial physician to ask for the peace pulse every three months.

"I used to ask for Ping'an pulse every six months, but when my sister-in-law was pregnant with her second child, she almost failed to keep it, so she changed it to ask for Ping'an pulse once every three months. This rule was also changed by my elder brother." Chen Yun explained.

Daiyu said, "It's not without reason that those noble ladies missed your brother in the past."

"That's natural." Chen Yun borrowed.

"Speaking of which, it's not yet time for my family to ask for a Ping An pulse. Doctor Qin came to the door today. I'm afraid it was called by my brother, but what's wrong with my sister-in-law?"

Daiyu smiled and said, "It's a good thing."

Hearing this, Chen Yun raised his eyebrows, "Yes?"

"You react quickly."

"It's either a good thing or a bad thing to ask the imperial physician to come to check the pulse. Since it's a good thing, why do you need to guess?"

"That's true."

Chen Yun took a sip of tea and said, "My sister-in-law has not been pregnant for several years, and she suddenly became pregnant..." I'm afraid it was intentional.

"Sister-in-law's month is still young, should we prepare a gift?"

Chen Yun shook his head, "It's not necessary, it's not time to give gifts yet."

The two talked for a while, and Daiyu got up and was about to leave, "I won't disturb your calligraphy practice, I'll go back and have a rest."

"then you go."

After Daiyu returned to the house, Chen Yun continued to practice calligraphy and then read books.

At the end of Shenshi, Chen Yunxian came to Mingxin Academy.

When he heard that his elder brother was coming, Chen Yun was not surprised at all.

Leading him to the study, Chen Yun lent his elder brother a glass of water, "Brother, do you need me?"

"You should already know about your sister-in-law's pregnancy, so I won't go into details..." Chen Yunxian took a sip of tea, "The imperial examination will be in a month or two, and you won't have time to make pastries by then. I brewed some healthy fruit wine with spiritual water, just two bottles for me."

This kind of fruit wine can also be drunk by pregnant women.

A small cup every day can not only nourish the body, but also relieve the fatigue caused by the body.

Chen Yun said with a smile, "I brewed a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus wine last year, brother, do you want to try two bottles too?"

"Will you use the two golden osmanthus I gave you to make wine?" Chen Yunxian said with a smile.

Chen Yun excused, "If I don't use it to make wine, the sweet-scented osmanthus will be wasted on the ground, why not make the best use of it?"

"You make sense." Chen Yunxian said.

Chen Yun asked someone to bring the wine, "Although this health-preserving fruit wine made from green plums is good, you can't drink too much, be careful of overdoing it."

"I'll save it, that's fine, there's still something to do in the courtyard, so I won't stay any longer."

Chen Yunxian stood up and said goodbye.

After sending Chen Yunxian back, Chen Yunjue went back to the house.

"I heard that big brother is coming?"

Chen Yun borrowed and told her why Chen Yun Xian came here.

Daiyu smiled and said, "Is this fruit wine begged for my sister-in-law?"

"Sister-in-law's first two babies, I made cakes for her every day, and the fetal image has been stable, and I didn't suffer during the delivery. I'm afraid I won't have so much time to make cakes for this baby every day." Chen Yun borrowed.

Daiyu said, "Sister-in-law married into Chen's family, she is truly blessed."

There is a husband who loves her, her parents-in-law are amiable, her sisters-in-law are easy to get along with, and even her younger brothers love her so much.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it fell into a honeypot.

"Are you praising yourself?" Chen Yun asked with a smile.

Didn't Daiyu also marry into the Chen family?

Although Chen Yunxian doesn't know how to make cakes for Daiyu, but Daiyu is his wife, and with this identity alone, Chen Yunxian can favor her.

Daiyu laughed, "I didn't say that."

"I've already written to Shao Yinian and the others in the morning, and they all wrote back saying that they will go and leave in two days."

When Daiyu heard this, she said, "When will you return to Beijing?"

"You haven't gone here yet, you are thinking about going home?" Chen Yun laughed.

"I'll just ask casually."

Chen Yun borrowed, "Go back to Beijing before the rankings are released on March [-]th."

You can't come to the door to announce the good news, but he is not at home, right?

Two days later, Chen Yun took Daiyu out, met Shao Yinian and the others at the gate of the city, and went to Lingxi Garden together.

Several people are close friends and relatives, so the relationship is naturally close.

Daiyu rode in the carriage with Chen Yingying, Liang Xinyi, and Zhu Yingjing, while Chen Yunjian and Shao Yinian rode on horseback and talked beside the carriage.

Talking and laughing all the way to Lingxi Garden.

"This is the famous Lingxi Garden? It really lives up to its reputation."

Although they are all friends of Chen Yunju, they have never been to Lingxi Garden.

This Lingxi Garden was a wedding gift for Daiyu, and of course Chen Yunjue would not let others see it before giving it to Daiyu.

The craftsmen who built the garden are not counted.

"Find a yard you like to live in. This time I'm afraid you'll have to stay for 20 days. If you need to go back because of urgent business, just say so, don't worry about me." Chen Yun excused.

"I'm fine." Shao Yinian was the first to raise his hand to signal.

Zhu Yingjing glanced at him, smiled and said nothing.

Shao Yinian pretended not to notice, and finally went out to have fun, of course he had to have fun.

Chen Yun said with a smile, "It's rare for you to come out once, let you have a good time, and go back to study hard after playing enough, don't let others down."

Zhu Yingjing took a look at Chen Yun, and said, "Shao Yinian, take a look at you, and then look at him."

Shao Yinian laughed, "Of course I'm different from Yunyu. If I want to have a brain like his, why do I need to study so hard?"

"It's just that you don't have such a brain, so you have to work harder." Zhu Yingjing said, "I heard that Chen Yuntzu worked the hardest when he was in the academy, how about you? You know how to listen to opera all day long, and you don't need it Don’t make excuses.”

Shao Yinian said awkwardly, "You are young and ignorant."

"Okay, okay, it's rare to come out to play together, so don't talk about it." Chen Yun smoothed things over with a smile.

Zhu Yingjing closed her voice, "Save Yun some face."

"Then thank you sister-in-law." Chen Yun said with a smile.

A group of young people had a great time playing in the garden.

Almost forgot the time. wwω.ЪiqíΚù.ИěT.

Chen Yun made a lot of fun things by borrowing this Lingxi Garden.

But everyone's favorite is the mahjong he took out from the warehouse.

Eight people, exactly two tables.

After staying in the garden for about ten days, everyone returned to Beijing together on the ninth day of March.

Before parting, Shao Yinian and others also wished Chen Yun a high school education.

Then he unceremoniously took away a set of mahjong.

Chen Yun took the carriage home with Daiyu, and said with a smile, "It won't be long before this mahjong will probably replace the leaf cards and become popular in the entire capital."

Daiyu said, "It's really interesting. It's useful to pass the time on weekdays."

"It's fine if you're free, you can play with your mother and the others, and it's good if you have something to pass the time." Chen Yun excused.

After returning home, Daiyu really took mahjong with her to find someone to play with. At first, it was only Daiyu who led Shen, Tang from the second room, and the big maids around them, playing in turn.

Later, even Chen Yunjuan's grandmother also liked to play. After Chen Yunjuan heard about it, he gave a set of mahjong to each of them.

There are a lot of these things in the warehouse, and they still take up space. If they want to play with them, they will give them to them.

On March [-]th, the official came to announce the good news, and Chen Yun borrowed the Yuan from the high school.

Chen Yun borrowed money, so the rewards would not be small. He prepared a box of copper coins and asked his servants to throw them out at the door, so that the onlookers would be happy.

Chen Yunjue has now won five yuan in a row, and no one who participated in this year's competition can pose a threat to him.

If there is no accident, Chen Yunjue is already a certain champion in the new discipline.

Although Chen Yunxian scored six yuan first, no one would dislike having a few more.

Moreover, it is even rarer for two brothers to win six yuan in a row.

Chen Yunxian's achievements and talents are all here.Of course the emperor also wanted to see what talents Chen Yunji had.

In April, the palace exam was only for one day, so Chen Yun didn't have much pressure.

Three days later, the list was released, and the Hall of Supreme Harmony passed down Lu, and Chen Yun became the second champion in the dynasty to win six consecutive prizes by taking advantage of the first place in high school.

Chen Yunxian was 17 years old and won six yuan in a row, and Chen Yuncheng is nineteen this year.

Although he didn't break his elder brother's record, he won six dollars in a row before he was young.

When parading through the streets, Chen Yun took the lead, and the talent in Suzhou was selected as Tanhua.

When conferring an official, according to the old rules, Chen Yun had to confer the post of editing and writing to the Imperial Academy, but Chen Yun was made an exception, and was given another post of director of the Ministry of Industry, with a rank of six ranks.

The servant of the Ministry of Industry is Song Chi, Chen Yunju's uncle, and he is a direct relative.

Although he has two vacancies, the Hanlin Academy has nothing to do at all, and he goes to the Ministry of Industry every day.

Although his uncle is the minister of the Ministry of Industry, he will not favoritism.

At the end of the month, Chen Yun was arranged to go to Liulichang.

In fact, there was Liulichang in this dynasty, but the output of Liulichang is really touching.

He was asked to manage Liulichang, and for a time his colleagues felt that he had offended his own uncle and was assigned.

Chen Yun, who was suspected of offending his uncle, returned home in the afternoon and went directly to his elder brother.

"Brother, it's your idea to let me manage Liulichang?"

Chen Yunxian raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you say before that you want to make the glass that foreigners sell into the territory? Then try it, if it doesn't work, you can go to Dushuiqing officials instead."

There are many agencies under the Ministry of Industry, and the repair and construction of warships and ferries are all managed by the Dushui Qingli Department.

Chen Yun raised his eyebrows, "I see."

"Are you confident?" Chen Yunxian asked.

Chen Yun said with a smile, "Of course."

He has a full set of glass formulas here. Although high-purity glass requires high temperature production, some formulas can be made at a slightly lower temperature.

Chen Yunxian thought that Chen Yun would complain and ask him for someone.

As a result, no.

Chen Yun went to Liulichang excitedly the next day.

These craftsmen in Liulichang all obey orders, and Chen Yunjue is their superior now, and they will do whatever Chen Yunjue tells them to do.

In less than two months, the glass was made.

With the support of the imperial court, these craftsmen in Liulichang are all skilled hands. If they want people and money, they should jump the moat if they can't do it.

Colleagues who thought that Chen Yunzheng was dispatched to Liulichang couldn't believe it when they heard that Chen Yunzheng had made the glass.

Since overseas glass products flowed into the imperial court, those overseas barbarians made a fortune by relying on glass, and each of them became very rich.

It's not that no one is greedy, but these foreigners outside have hidden the production process so hard that they can't find out at all.

Finding out by yourself is also a waste of time and money.

The Ministry of Industry didn't know how many people had fallen here in Liulichang, and they usually didn't survive half a year before trying to find a way to transfer to other localities to become local emperors.

Chen Yun was the first person to gnaw off this tough bone.

For this kind of thing, Chen Yunjuan is not proud of it.

The recipes mastered by foreigners overseas are probably not as complete as those in his hands.

The glass made by him and others is very transparent, and the cost is extremely low.

After reporting the finished product and cost, the emperor was pleasantly surprised, and became more and more disgusted with those overseas barbarians.

Ever since the smoke came into the country, the emperor has hated these barbarians overseas. Now that glass is made, the cost is pitifully low. Let's look at the price those foreigners sell.

He simply slaughtered his people as fools.

The emperor immediately summoned Chen Yunjue and asked him how he made the glass.

Chen Yunjue had already prepared a draft, and he answered the questions fluently. There was absolutely no possibility of falsely claiming credit for others.

"You and your brother are both fine." The emperor was in a great mood.

Chen Yun said respectfully, "My humble minister is far inferior to my elder brother."

"You two brothers each have their own strengths, you don't have to be humble." The emperor said.

Chen Yun could only be ashamed to receive the emperor's award.

"Your official position is a bit low..." The emperor thought for a while, and said, "However, I have already granted you the position of chief executive. Although you have made meritorious service in making glass, it is not easy to give it to you for a while. Promoted, wait a few days."

Chen Yunjue was not disappointed either, "I understand."

He is now on the cusp of the storm, and if he really wants to be promoted so soon, he is afraid that more people will hate him.

"Over there at Liulichang, you should pay more attention."

Chen Yun took the order and resigned.

It is of course impossible to say that Chen Yun does not want to be promoted.

In fact, Liulichang has always produced glass, but the cost is extremely high and the practicability is not high.

It's normal that Chen Yun didn't get promoted because of this.

When he got home, he went to find Chen Yunxian.

"You want to popularize glass? Glass is fragile, and its practicality is not very good, that is, some nobles like this beautiful thing. If you want to popularize it, it may not be easy."

Chen Yun said with a smile, "Glass is actually very useful."

He gave Chen Yunxian the binoculars he found in the warehouse, "Brother, look at this."

"Is this a telescope?"

"That's right." Telescope is another name for telescope.

Chen Yunxian frowned, "It seems to be different from the ones spread overseas?"

"This was dug out from the system's warehouse. Although there are many messy things in the system's warehouse, there are also many practical things.

For example, this telescope, with the current technology, it is of course impossible to make such a telescope, but it is not difficult to make it better than the telescope sold to us by foreigners.and this……"

Chen Yun borrowed a mirror and said, "Brother, look at this mirror."

This mirror is very clear, "Is this a mercury mirror?"

These are all things sold by foreigners.

"It's a mercury mirror, but what do you think of this mirror?"

"It feels much clearer than what those foreigners sell." Chen Yunxian said thoughtfully.

Chen Yun borrowed, "Actually, this mercury mirror is also made of glass. The more transparent the glass, the clearer the mirror will be."

Chen Yunxian put down the mirror, "The mirror is small, so you can try to make the binoculars first."

"I don't want to spend all my time on these things..." Chen Yun excused, "I think it's more important to keep people fed than the telescope."

Chen Yunxian frowned slightly, "The output of your new type of rice last year was only more than 700 catties. This is still a first-class paddy field, far below expectations."

"I know, that's because the current farming methods are not standardized enough. Only excellent grain seeds are not enough to achieve the yield I mentioned before. In fact, if the grain seeds I give them can be grown well, they can reach [-] yuan. More than five hundred catties." Chen Yun borrowed.

The high yield in modern times is not only due to grain types, but also various factors such as the environment and fertilizers.

The capital is not the best place to grow rice. If this grain is planted in the Huguang area, it can weigh a thousand catties at worst. Even if there is no modern fertilizer, there are other ways to make up for this shortcoming.

If this kind of grain is transported to Huguang for planting, it will be a bit too noticeable.

At present, the output of the new type of rice on his farm can reach more than 700 catties. In the eyes of those farmers, it is already a bumper harvest.

This is not much different from Chen Yunjue's previous estimate.

In itself, the environment in Beijing is not suitable for growing rice.

"Yunjue, don't be too impatient, take your time." Chen Yunxian knew that his younger brother was eager to conquer this new type of rice, but he felt that there was no rush.

Chen Yun borrowed, "I know that if my status is high enough and there are enough people available, I can definitely bring people to do these things. I never thought of monopolizing these things, and I didn't research them myself. , My strength alone is limited after all, I need more people to accompany me to do it together.”

And Chen Yunxian obviously didn't have the time, and his skills were not in it.

Chen Yunxian rubbed his forehead and said, "Get the glass thing done first, and don't be in a hurry for other things. You should be clear that this official position is not something you can get promoted if you want to. Unless you have great achievements, this binoculars is Not bad, but not a great achievement.”

"I know, big brother." Chen Yun said with a sigh.

Chen Yunxian patted Chen Yunjuan on the shoulder, "It's great if you have this heart, you don't have to force yourself like this."

Chen Yun took a deep breath, "Yes."

"Go back and rest, I'm afraid it will not be easy to make the telescope." Chen Yunxian said.

Chen Yun smiled wryly, "Of course, fortunately, there are many production methods in the warehouse. It is only a matter of time before we want to make them."

"Take your time." Chen Yunxian said softly.

After coming out of Chen Yunxian's place, it was completely dark, Chen Yun rubbed his forehead, talking to his elder brother, but forgot to cook.

He hurried back to Mingxin Courtyard, where Daiyu was sitting in the main room.

Seeing him come back, he got up and walked to the door, "Is the matter over?"

"Why are you sitting in the main room?" Chen Yun took Daiyu's hand into the room and sat down, "I forgot today, have you eaten yet?"

"No." Daiyu shook her head, "It's just getting dark, I ate a lot of cakes before, and I'm not hungry yet."

"Where is the hunger for pastries?" Chen Yun shook his head and sighed, "Next time I haven't come back when you are, you can go to sister-in-law's to eat together."

Usually, he hasn't come back since Youshi, and he is probably at Chen Yunxian's place.

Mrs. Shen was not accompanied by anyone, just two sisters-in-law as companions.

"You seem to be very busy recently." Daiyu borrowed a cup of tea for Chen Yun, "I heard from my sister-in-law that you made the glass?"

"You also know the method of making glass that the system rewarded before." Chen Yun borrowed.

Daiyu said, "There is a method, but it is not easy to do it."

"Fortunately, there are enough people in Liulichang, and the things are still made. When I go back and make the mirror, the full-length mirror in the warehouse can be put in your locker room." Chen Yun excused.

Daiyu laughed, "You're thinking about this now?"

"Actually, when this thing is made, it can also fill the national treasury. To some extent, this mirror is also a consumable." Chen Yun borrowed.

Daiyu didn't understand this, "I can't help you with anything, but you should pay attention to your body, and see that your eyes are blue."

"I know, after this busy period, I can rest." Chen Yun excused.

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of beating from outside.

Chen Yun rubbed his forehead, "I'll cook."

"Don't be too busy, why don't you let the big kitchen make something to eat and make do with it." Daiyu frowned.

Chen Yun smiled lightly, "It's just a meal, it's okay."

Daiyu couldn't stop him, so she could only go to the kitchen to accompany him.

Chen Yun made a few simple dishes, and after a light meal, he went back to the house with Daiyu.

After sitting and talking for a while, I took a shower and changed clothes, and rested.

Chen Yun took advantage of his low official position, so although he didn't have to go to court, he had to get up earlier to go to the yamen to get some advice.

After he went to the yamen to order a job, he went directly to Liulichang, ignoring the sour words of these colleagues.

It is really difficult to make a telescope. I have failed countless times in three months before finally making a finished product.

But fearing that it would be a flash in the pan, Chen Yunju still asked people to continue making it.

He breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the telescope could be made stably.

Although the thing was made, Chen Yunjue didn't play it directly, but went to find Chen Yunxian with the thing.

"Three or four months, you made the thing?" Chen Yunxian was a little surprised.

Chen Yun said with a smile, "After all, there is a production method. If you want to make it, it is only a matter of time. Gain experience from failure, and if you have accumulated enough experience, things will naturally be made."

"What do you want to do when you come to see me?" Chen Yunxian asked.

Chen Yun rubbed his nose, "I want my elder brother to help you submit it."

After all, this thing is different from glass. Although his uncle is the servant of the Ministry of Industry, he is not a direct superior of Chen Yunzhe.

As far as Chen Yun borrows his current official position, he is not qualified to ask the emperor directly, and he is not at ease if he wants to hand things over to the superior.

After much deliberation, he could only come to his elder brother for help.

How smart is Chen Yunxian?

Hearing what he said, you can tell what he's thinking, "Then I'll go for you."

Chen Yunxian stretched out his hand, "Where is the memorial?"

He came out on behalf of Chen Yun, so Chen Yun had to prepare this memorial himself.

Chen Yun borrowed the prepared memorial to Chen Yunxian from his sleeve, "Then I will trouble my brother to go."

"Small things." Although Chen Yunxian is only the Minister of the Ministry of Officials now, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is sick at home, and the Ministry of Officials is basically under the care of Chen Yunxian, not the Minister, but better than the Minister.

Everyone in the official department knew that Chen Yunxian must be the next Minister of the official department.

The current Minister of the Ministry of Officials is just occupying a position for Chen Yunxian, and it will be vacated sooner or later.

Chen Yun watched his elder brother walk towards the palace from the back, took a breath, and went straight home.

When he came back, he happened to meet Daiyu.

"Why did you come back so early today?" Daiyu looked at the sky, it was just late, and Chen Yunjue only came home at You hour recently.
