Chapter 140 Palace Banquet
Jian Ruonan did not answer.
Jian Chuxue took a step closer and said softly: "You and I will join hands and create a prosperous world!"
Last time at the Princess's Flower Appreciation Banquet, Jian Chuxue suspected that Jian Ruonan used dry ice.
After that, she did not see anything unusual about the other party until she arrived at the farm and the seven-word mantra "Smith Masai GG bond" muttered by the pig castrator made her discover the clue.
Common people in Daxia are generally illiterate. At first, a kind of storybook toilet paper was circulated in the farm, which was cheaper than ordinary toilet paper. When she asked, she found out that Jian Ruonan had "invented" papermaking and movable type printing.
She originally planned to keep these two inventions as dowry.
But it doesn't matter, she also knows how to make muskets, make ice from saltpeter, penicillin, soap and other technologies.
With muskets, she can form an invincible musket team. Penicillin can cure diseases, soap and ice can make money... Then it will be no problem to become a king or an emperor.
Jian Ruonan only then knew that Jian Chuxue was also a time traveler.
Jian Ruonan:? ?
Isn't this a sadomasochistic porn? Why did the heroine start to do business?
"Fourth sister, fifth sister is lazy. I invented papermaking and movable type printing just to read unofficial history when I was shitting. I don't have big ambitions. I can't even write a word. Oh, no, the only word I can write is miserable."
Jian Chuxue: "..."
Indeed, after this person arrived at the Marquis's Mansion, he did not think about making progress and slept until noon every day.
At first she thought this person was working hard behind closed doors, but she didn't expect this person to be able to eat and sleep well.
Jian Ruonan: "I don't want to get married, and I don't want to have children. I just want to have some money to live a carefree life."
Jian Chuxue: "Then why did you become an official? Didn't you become an official to prove that women are not inferior to men?"
"Don't you become an official to yearn for power?" Jian Chuxue continued: "If you and I sisters join forces, maybe we can become the first female emperor of Daxia like Wu Zetian!"
Jian Ruonan: "..."
Wu Zetian? Do you
think the ancients were stupid?
No one knows how Feng Mang Taisheng died? !
Jian Ruonan shrugged and said, "I don't want to be an official either. The emperor gave me an official position for no reason. I have to report for duty at five o'clock every morning. I almost died suddenly."
"Fourth sister, you know I can't stand the hardship of getting up early!"
Jian Chuxue: "..."
She stared at Jian Ruonan's face carefully, trying to determine whether she was lying.
Jian Ruonan: "I am a lazy person and don't have any great ambitions. The printing house is run by my colleagues. The entire Hanlin Academy has shares in the printing house. I only need to talk and don't actually do anything." "
Fourth sister, you found the wrong person."
Jian Chuxue: "..."
This person might have been a poor student in her previous life, or a fool, and the huge profits of the printing house were given to others for nothing.
Forget it, I won't take her with me.
Maybe she will be a hindrance if I take her with me!
"Then I'll do my work, don't interfere."
Jian Ruonan: "Don't worry, as long as you don't threaten my life, I won't interfere."
Jian Chuxue: "In that case, it's a deal!"
Humph, wait until I become successful, then you'll regret it!
"Goodbye, fifth sister!"
After leaving Luming Xiaoyuan, Jian Chuxue went to Xixiayuan, as if to say goodbye to Min Jianzhang. Jian Chuxue wanted to leave the Marquis' Mansion and create her own prosperous scene.
Jian Chuxue left for about half an hour, and Jian Ruonan called out the big system: [Is it her?]
Big system: [No.]
It's not!
Jian Ruonan: [What's going on with her recently?]
Jian Chuxue's ambitions are so great, don't let them affect her salted fish life.
Big system: [She has already met the Third Prince, and soon they will start a sadomasochistic sweet love story where she runs away from him and he chases her, and she can't escape even if she has wings.]
Jian Ruonan: [...Isn't she going to start a business?] She
just said it so passionately!
Big system: [Yes, she entered the Third Prince's mansion as a staff member. The Third Prince is recruiting staff members on a large scale, and Jian Chuxue provided the design drawings of the fire crossbow.]
Jian Ruonan: [Hey, you are worthy of being the male and female protagonists. You are not playing a game of staff and princes! On the surface, they are staff members and masters, but in reality, they are the dwarf prince and his beloved! Hehehehe!]
[I just don't know how Jian Chuxue will react when she finds out that the Third Prince not only wears a height-increasing pad, but also puts peppercorns in his butt? ! 】
【Will the peppercorns not fall out when they have sex, hahahahaha——】
Big System: 【Nannan, pay attention, isn't it that the Third Prince has already started plotting to seize the throne? ! 】
Jian Ruonan: 【! ! 】
I almost forgot about this!
【More gossip about the Third Prince...】
【What? ! The Third Prince's biological father is actually from the Japanese royal family! ! ! 】
【No wonder he's so short! ! ! 】
The book that Jian Ruonan traveled through is a fictional dynasty, but it also referenced real data. Japan is close to Daxia, and its geographical location is similar to that of Japan.
It turns out that the Third Prince is Japanese, so it makes sense for him to stuff peppercorns in his butt!
The Japanese are very perverted!

On New Year's Eve, there was a banquet in the palace.
Early in the morning, the old lady, wearing the court dress of a first-class marquis' wife, brought Min to the palace to congratulate and attend the banquet.
Jian Ruonan was an official, so she was also among those who had to go to the palace to attend the banquet.
Early in the morning, Min taught her the rules and regulations: "Enter according to your rank. After entering, the eunuchs will call out your name. First kowtow, then take your seat. You are not an official of high rank, so you should sit in the back row. If you don't know how to do it, just watch what the people in front of you do and follow them. Do you understand?"
The etiquette of the palace banquet was complicated, and it was Nan Nan's first time to attend. Min began to worry again, "If you don't understand, you can ask your father."
Jian Ruonan was pulled up early in the morning, her eyelids kept fighting, and she said in a daze: "Mother, I understand. There are 400 dishes in the palace banquet. I can only eat two bites of a dish at most, and I can't eat the third bite. I will try to eat more of the delicious dishes. If I eat two big bites, I won't eat the third bite."
Min: "..."
What did you understand? Huh?
You understand eating? !
Worry.

At the gate of the palace, courtiers lined up to enter according to their ranks, and Bian Yingyi, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was among them.
Bian Yingyi was seriously ill some time ago and rested in bed for almost half a month. He finally recovered before the New Year.
"Brother An, how did the matter of establishing the crown prince end without illness?" Bian Yingyi was the one who fooled the emperor into opening his private treasury to provide disaster relief and use the private treasury to supplement military expenses during the morning court.
As a result, he escaped because he was seriously ill the next day.
An Honghui: "......"
Bian Yingyi: "Brother An, why don't you say anything?! Establishing a reserve is a big deal!"
An Honghui opened his mouth, hesitant to speak, and finally stretched out his hand, heavily patted Bian Yingyi's shoulder twice, "Brother Bian, if beep--"
"Hey, try to be quiet later, don't think about standing out."
Brother can only help you here.
Bian Yingyi was stunned and asked: "By the way, I heard that in the future, there will be a break of one incense stick every half an hour in the morning court. Who proposed it?"
This is a good suggestion. In the past, the morning court stood for several hours and rested for one incense stick, which can solve the three urgent needs.
An Honghui: "......I don't know."
Bian Yingyi: "Brother An, why are you avoiding my eyes? Are you troubled?"
An Honghui: "......"
Seeing that the other party ignored him, Bian Yingyi hesitated for a moment, but continued: "The weather has been getting colder and colder recently. When I think of the starving people everywhere, I can't sleep or eat well."
"If there is a chance later, I am still prepared to risk my life to make a suggestion."
There are three rounds of palace banquets on New Year's Eve. The first round is to eat, the second round is to watch singing and dancing, and the third round is for the emperor and the princes of the royal family and the court to summarize the past and look forward to the future. Bian Yingyi has many opportunities!
An Yushi: "Brother Bian, it's New Year's Day, and you..."
Hey, good words can't persuade the damn ghost.
"You must strike while the iron is hot, but never back down halfway!"
Why do you all eat my melons? I will eat other people's melons too!
