Rong Xi finally moved.
The new house is bright and spacious, comfortable and pleasant. The two of them can live together without being disturbed by anyone.
Chen Chuangu also didn't want to live in Rong's house, so he shamelessly moved in with her. But after moving in, he was quite quiet and never disturbed the two of them unless necessary.
A research room was built in the new house, which was where Rong Xi conducted his research.
After visiting the workshop last time, Rong Xi asked Cui Feng to lead the students into the laboratory to observe the leaf epidermis under a microscope.
The students lined up obediently outside the door and went in one by one to observe. After seeing it, they all found it incredible.
The impact this time was quite significant and completely beyond everyone's imagination. After one round, all the students were suddenly enlightened.
Chen Chuangu was studying a medicinal prescription when he heard the commotion here. He became curious and ran over to join in the fun.
Seeing the strange microscope on the table, I couldn't help but take a closer look. Suddenly, some strange things appeared in front of me. They were crowded and not beautiful to look at, but quite magical.
After a long while, he finally found his voice: "Da Lang, what on earth is this?"
Seeing that he was interested, Rong Xi tore off another piece of skin and said with a smile, "This is it."
Chen Chuangu couldn't believe it.
"Da Lang, can this mirror change its appearance?"
Rong Xi shook his head and smiled, "You should know the function of a telescope from Si." Seeing Chen Chuangu nod, he continued, "This thing is a microscope, which can see extremely tiny things."
Chen Chuangu suddenly realized, "Let me take another look."
After saying that, he continued to move closer to take a closer look.
Since then, Chen Chuangu often came to borrow a microscope, but Rong Xi lacked many solutions and utensils, so some experiments could not be tried yet, and he could only wait slowly.
As the sun set in the west, Qin Ke rode back on horseback.
"A letter from Prince Shun."
Rong Xi was quite surprised when he heard this. Prince Shun is a person who cannot be judged by common sense.
The two of them leaned close to read the letter together.
The letter was not long. After reading it for a few breaths, Rong Xi couldn't help laughing.
"If what is said in the letter is true, will you agree?"
Qin Ke smiled faintly, "Prince Shun has always been warlike, but he is trapped in Jizhou. This time his feelings are sincere."
"But I didn't expect that his retainer is actually a foreigner." Rong Xi sighed.
The letter stated that the retainer came for revenge.
The Great Wei had a vast territory, and was not always peaceful. After countless wars, integrations, divisions, and reintegrations, the Great Wei unified the world.
After the founding of the dynasty, some small tribes on the border often made unusual movements, and the Wei army went to suppress them several times, and casualties were inevitable.
The relatives of that retainer were killed in a dispute with the Wei army. Filled with hatred, he hid his identity and joined Prince Shun's army, waiting for an opportunity to incite Prince Shun to rebel and cause the people of Wei to kill each other.
Prince Shun was warlike by nature and just wanted to have a good fight. In the original book, he was indeed provoked by him and declared war on the court, eventually drinking poison and dying.
The ending was not good.
Rong Xi sighed in his heart. It would not be a bad thing for the court if Prince Shun, such a powerful general, could be given an important position. However, the emperor was unwilling to release this ferocious tiger.
"You made a secret report before. Did His Majesty respond?"
Qin Ke shook his head and said, "The emperor has his own considerations."
The heart of an emperor cannot be guessed. The emperor today is no longer the Chen Erlang who previously stayed at Rong’s house.
Rong Xi was deeply touched and suddenly asked, "Do you know that there is a wider land outside of the Great Wei?"
"I know." Qin Ke said with a smile, "Besides the Great Wei there is the Northern Rong, and outside the Northern Rong there is another territory. We still don't know where Jin Jili came from."
When Jin Jili was mentioned, Rong Xi's eyes lit up. "Prince Shun is warlike, but His Majesty does not want him to fight against the Northern Rong. If he continues to be imprisoned, it may cause disaster. Jili mentioned before that he wants to use firearms to return to his hometown and seize the throne. Why not..."
"Borrow the power of Prince Shun?" Qin Ke understood what he meant.
Prince Shun loves adventure. If he were allowed to cross the ocean and fight in a foreign country, it would be a hundred times better than hiding in Jizhou.
"But firearms are a secret of our dynasty and cannot be easily disclosed," Qin Ke frowned and said, "Your Majesty may not agree."
Rong Xi sighed softly, "Although Wei is vast and rich in resources, there are mountains outside the mountains. There are countless foreign countries outside Wei. If they gradually grow stronger and come to kill us by surprise, what should we do then?"
He didn't know how much Qin Ke could understand, he just expressed his regret.
Qin Ke pondered for a while, then asked in a low voice: "Will what you said really happen?"
"Just be prepared for danger in times of peace." Rong Xi smiled faintly, "Do you believe me?"
"Why don't you believe it?" Qin Ke said as a matter of course, "Jin Jili was able to come here alone. If the army is well-trained, it won't be difficult for them to sail here."
Moreover, after spending a long time with Rong Xi, Qin Ke knew that he was not the kind of person who acted without reason.
The Wei navy is already weak in combat power, let alone the navy? The vast ocean is mysterious and unpredictable, and if you are not careful you will end up in the belly of a fish.
Although there were several pirate attacks on the shore, the court did not take it seriously.
"Gili is good at swimming and building ships. He sailed across the ocean and was not swallowed by the storm. This shows that he has extraordinary skills. What do you think if we use firearms to trade with him for the art of navigation?"
Qin Ke thought for a moment after hearing this and asked, "You give him fish, but ask him to report the fishing technique. Will he really do it?"
"If His Royal Highness Prince Shun is willing to cross the sea with him to fight, why worry about not being able to learn how to fish?"
Similarly, if Rong Xi gives Jin Jili the firearm, Jin Jili can also take it back for research, and the transaction between the two parties is relatively fair.
Qin Ke smiled and praised: "This method is feasible, but it depends on whether Your Majesty is willing to let the tiger go into the sea."
"Your Majesty is a wise ruler, and he knows the pros and cons of this." Rong Xi affirmed, "The foreigners intend to use Prince Shun to stir up trouble. Your Majesty certainly does not want to see this situation again."
Moreover, the deep sea is dangerous and one can lose one's life if one is not careful. According to the emperor, this may be the best option.
Just at this time, Jin Jili came.
"Jili, what do you want to see me for?" Rong Xi stretched out his hand and motioned for him to sit down.
Jin Jili sat down as he was told, his eyes filled with reluctance, "Da Lang, I have thought about it for a long time and decided to return to my homeland and take back the throne."
He is a prince, shouldering missions and hopes. If he really enjoys the rest of his life in Wei, he will definitely have regrets.
"You are returning to your country alone?" Rong Xi couldn't help but ask, "If I were your uncle, I would have already eliminated the dissidents. If you go back now, wouldn't you be alone and helpless?"
Jin Jili smiled and said, "I came here to borrow soldiers." He suddenly looked at Qin Ke, "I have heard that the soldiers of Wei are very capable. If your country can help me regain the throne, I will reward you generously."
Qin Ke said calmly: "Wei has a strong enemy in the north and we are already struggling to take care of ourselves, so how can we borrow troops?"
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Jin Jili felt a little bitter. He had expected this result.
The risks at sea are very great, and there is no need for Wei to get involved in this muddy water.
He was about to leave and find another way, but he heard Rong Xi ask: "A large reward? How to reward? I asked you before if your country has any rare items that can be exchanged, but you haven't answered me yet."
Jin Jili shook his head helplessly, "Apart from treasures, I really don't know what rare things there are. Besides, there are countless rare treasures in the Wei Dynasty, so I don't think much of them."
He spoke from the bottom of his heart, otherwise he would have come to find Rong Xi a long time ago.
Rong Xi suddenly said, "Jili, I have always admired you. You crossed the unknown sea alone and drifted here. If you say it was luck, I don't believe it."
"What do you mean by that, Dalang?" Jin Jili asked doubtfully, "Are you doubting me?"
"I'm not doubting it," Rong Xi said with a smile, "Your talent in shipbuilding and ability to cross the sea are both precious and extraordinary."
Jin Jili was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Da Lang is willing to trade firearms with me?"
"This is just my humble opinion. I have no say in it." Rong Xi smiled helplessly.
When it comes to the country's most important weapon, he cannot speak carelessly.
Jin Jili then looked at Qin Ke.
Qin Ke seemed unenthusiastic. "The art of building ships and crossing the sea is not necessary for the State of Wei, but the power of firearms may be the key to victory for you."
"Besides, you have no military force. With just a few firearms, you cannot shake the throne. Even if the court lends you troops, they may be swallowed by the storm before they reach your country. The gain will not outweigh the loss."
Jin Jili understood that what he said was true, but how could he be content without trying?
"Excuse me for being blunt, but your country's naval power is almost non-existent. If it weren't for the pirates' influx, your coastline might have been razed to the ground," Jin Jili said mercilessly. "You can still resist now, but once the pirates become stronger, will your country be able to fight?"
What he said coincided with Rong Xi's previous worries.
Qin Ke lowered his eyes in contemplation, and after a while he said, "I will report this matter to His Majesty. Whether to borrow troops or not is not up to me."
This was the most that could be done, Jin Jili was very satisfied and bowed to express his gratitude.
After he left, Rong Xi asked curiously, "Do you really want to report this to His Majesty?"
Qin Ke smiled and said, "Your Majesty has great ambitions and wants to create a prosperous and flourishing world. If we can establish diplomatic relations with a foreign country on the other side, we can promote the style of the Great Wei. Why not do it?"
There’s more to it than that.
Pirates were a pestering force and people living along the coast were often harassed and attacked by them. The imperial court once sent troops to suppress the pirates, but the soldiers were not good at swimming and the pirates came and went freely and were extremely cunning, making them difficult to eliminate.
If the Wei Dynasty had strong naval capabilities, it would not have felt so aggrieved.
Rong Xi smiled and said, "This is the best of both worlds."
The two chatted for a while, and Rong Xi suddenly asked, "Is Prince Shun good at swimming?"
If King Shun is afraid of water, how can he sail out to sea to fight?
"It's just swimming. Even if he can't do it, he will definitely learn it quickly in order to go out to sea to fight." Qin Ke joked.
August comes in a blink of an eye. The golden osmanthus is fragrant and the fields are filled with the joy of harvest.
The corn was ripe by then. Rong Xi kept some for himself and transported the rest to Jinshixuan.
He selected twenty stalks of corn and told Liu He to steam them, and save the rest for seeds.
The fragrance of corn spreads half a mile away while it is still in the steamer.
Liu Zishi was adding fuel to the fire, his whole body immersed in the sweet fragrance, trying hard to swallow his saliva.
Not only him, even Rong Lian had no interest in studying and was feeling greedy.
This scent has never been smelled before, but once it appears, it will capture people's hearts.
That night, everyone had half a head of corn, and they ate it all, but they did not feel satisfied at all.
Even Rong Weijing looked much more relaxed because of the sweet taste of corn.
He broke off some corn kernels and put them into his mouth. He chewed them slowly and felt the sweetness in his heart.
After being treated by Chen Chuangu, although Rong Weijing's legs could not move, his speech became much clearer and he could chew food slowly.
"Where does this come from? It's delicious."
He now eats in the main courtyard and never goes to the main hall, because if he sees Rong Xi and the others, his condition might get worse.
He didn't know whether she should mention Rong Xi, and there was some hesitation on her face.
"Why don't you answer?" Rong Weijing asked angrily.
He smiled softly and said, "This thing is called corn, and it was planted by Dalang."
Rong Weijing suddenly stopped chewing, lowered his head and remained silent for a while. Just when He was worried that he would be angry, he swallowed the corn and asked, "What is the corn yield per mu?"
He smiled and replied, "That's right. Now the people in the town are all grateful to Dalang. Dalang proposed the method of dividing the canal and produced phosphate fertilizer. This year, Mengshan County has a bumper harvest. Shen Mingfu praised Dalang's achievements..."
"That's enough," Rong Weijing frowned and scolded, "corn."
He motioned for He to continue feeding.
He then stopped talking and concentrated on feeding him corn kernels.
When the grain production of Mengshan County was reported to the court, the officials of the Ministry of Revenue were all extremely surprised.
Although the total grain output of Mengshan County is not large, it is several times higher than in previous years. Compared with similar counties, Mengshan is like a dark horse, far ahead.
Its grain output is comparable to that of several counties combined.
When Chen Yi wrote to the court to propose the construction of the canal, the Ministry of Revenue decided to allocate funds because Qin Ke supported Mengshan County.
Unexpectedly, such a small county town could be so unexpected.
Could it be that the method of dividing the channels is really effective?
However, some people raised doubts, saying that the magistrate of Mengshan County lied about the grain production. Mengshan has many hills and mountains but not much fertile soil. How can the grain production suddenly increase?
Shen Yi's term of office is coming to an end, and falsely reporting grain production can add luster to his resume, making it easier for him to be promoted.
This conspiracy theory extinguished the burning anger in the heart of the Minister of Revenue. After thinking about it for a long time, he sent someone to Mengshan County secretly to find out the truth.
Chen Yi was still unaware of the court's movements, and he was looking at Rong Xi in surprise.
"Does Shaoqing want to build a road?"
Road construction is no small matter, and Chen Yi did not dare to answer casually.
"Mr. Shen Mingfu should know that Mount Meng is not what it used to be. The Military Equipment Supervision Office was built here, and Mount Meng has become a strategic location," he said with a slow smile, "If we are attacked by the enemy one day, the military equipment will be difficult to send out due to the blocked roads. What will we do if the military plan is delayed?"
The roads in Mengshan County are bumpy and uneven. When it rains, the road surface becomes muddy and vehicles and horses often get stuck in it, greatly reducing transportation efficiency.
Chen Yi was startled. He looked carefully at Qin Ke beside him. Seeing that Qin Ke listened to Rong Xi's words, he said, "Building roads is very time-consuming and costly. The county's finances are insufficient, and I am powerless."
"The county has a good harvest this year, so there should be some extra money, right?" Rong Xi said slowly, "Besides, the slack season is coming, and the people will have nothing to do. We might as well hire them to work. Then they can get paid, and the road can be built."
Seeing that Chen Yi was about to refute, he continued, “As for property, there are many wealthy merchants in the county. If everyone donates a little, why worry about the shortage of property?”
"What Rong Shaoqing said is very true, but how can wealthy merchants be willing to donate money and property?"
Rong Xi smiled and said, "Leave this matter to me. Doesn't Shen Mingfu want to add another achievement to his political achievements?"
Building roads will benefit the people and future generations, so Chen Yi naturally wants to be rewarded for this achievement.
"With the guarantee of the Prince and the Junior Official, how can I refuse?" Chen Yi said with a smile.
If you still don't agree to build the road, wouldn't that be ungrateful?
The matter was settled, Rong Xi and Qin Ke left the county government office and went to Jinshixuan.
As soon as they stepped into Jinshixuan, they smelled the sweet aroma of corn.
Corn is scarce and expensive nowadays, and only a very small number of wealthy people are willing to buy a small piece to taste.
One is to taste the delicious corn, and the other is to enjoy the envious gazes of others.
The two men entered the back hall and met Duan Changjin.
Duan Changjin was about to salute, but was stopped by Rong Xi, "Brother Wenxiu, there's no need to be so polite. I came here today to ask for a favor."
"Dalang asked me to be polite, but you are being polite yourself," Duan Changjin invited the two to sit down and said with a smile, "Dalang, please speak."
Rong Xi smiled and said, "Jinshixuan is now doing a booming business, with many people coming and going, and most of the diners are wealthy families. I need you to help me publicize something."
Upon hearing this, Duan Changjin agreed immediately.
Therefore, within a few days, everyone in Mengshan knew that Rong Dalang wanted to donate 100 strings of money to the government for building roads. At that time, his name would be engraved on the monument of merit and passed down to future generations.
When this news came out, the wealthy families in the county were all a little uneasy.
Fame and fortune are alluring in this world. Rich businessmen have already made huge profits and now they only seek fame. If the monument of merit remains standing, your name will be admired by future generations. How can you miss such a good thing?
A wealthy businessman learned through connections from the clerks in the yamen that there was indeed a road construction project, and that the silver and money donated by Rong Dalang had been delivered to the county yamen and was being counted by the clerks.
The wealthy families thought: Rong Dalang is really cunning. If his name was the only one on the monument of merit, the honors he would receive would be multiplied.
No, I have to have a share of the soup too!
As a result, all the wealthy families went to the county government office to express their intention to donate.
Chen Yi appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually very happy in his heart. The fundraising task was easily accomplished, and he admired Rong Xi even more.
At this moment, the Ministry of Revenue's "spy" arrived at Mengshan.
The few people did not go to the county government office, but visited various towns. All I saw and heard was the joy of a good harvest.
It is impossible for Chen Yi to ask all the people in the county to give false testimony, so the bumper harvest in Mengshan should be a fact.
The "spy" asked the farmer with a smile: "I have long heard that Mengshan has many talented people and beautiful scenery. What I saw today is indeed extraordinary. I wonder how much you can produce per mu this year?"
The farmer grinned and counted.
The officials of the Ministry of Revenue were shocked. "Really? Why is there a good harvest this year?"
The farmer answered honestly: "Thanks to Mr. Rong!"
After that, he told several officials from the Ministry of Revenue everything he knew. After hearing this, they were extremely excited.
Several people echoed the praise, and the farmer smiled even more, "Mr. Shen Ming is also a good official!"
He also told them about the road construction, and they became more fond of Shen Yi.
Good official! A good official indeed!
There was no need for them to go to the county government office. In fact, as soon as they stepped into Mengshan, they could feel the prosperous scene.
This is a scene of prosperity and prosperity!
The few of them didn't stay any longer and rushed to Shengjing.
When the Minister of Revenue learned about this, he could not help but be extremely excited. He thought that such a happy event would surely make the emperor very happy.
He carefully considered the memorial, and reported it to the emperor one by one during the morning court session the next day. The emperor was indeed very happy and praised Chen Yi for his good governance of Mengshan. He also praised Rong Xi for his contribution in dividing the channels and making fertilizer.
Being praised by the emperor himself, Chen Yi felt that his life was worth it.
While he was enjoying the praise, he became more and more impressed with the way of being an official, and his ideas gradually changed.
Before, he was passively benefiting the people. If he had not been afraid of Qin Ke and Rong Xi, he would not have easily responded to some things.
But now, the people praised him as a wise man, and the emperor praised him in front of all the civil and military officials, and a surge of pride suddenly burst out in his chest.
I will devote my life to the country and the people until my death!
He actively participated in the road construction project with great enthusiasm.
He even didn't want to be promoted, he wanted to witness with his own eyes the prosperity and happiness of the people of Mengshan.
The road construction was in full swing, and the ordnance supervisory workshop never stopped.
On that day, Qin Ke took Rong Xi to a deserted place.
"Why did you bring me here?" Rong Xi asked puzzledly.
This place is sparsely populated, desolate and smokeless.
Qin Ke smiled softly and said, "Look."
As soon as he finished speaking, Rong Xi saw a row of armored soldiers suddenly appear before him.
There were nearly a hundred armored soldiers, marching in steady and powerful steps, all holding muskets in their hands.
"Shenjiying?" Rong Xi asked in surprise.
Qin Ke smiled and replied: "I have been training for several months. Today I invite you to come and inspect the results."
After saying this, he called the camp commander.
The battalion commander was a fierce general under Qin Ke. When the soldiers were being selected to join the Shenji Camp, the battalion commander recommended himself. Qin Ke asked him to try the musket, and seeing that he had quite a talent, he allowed him to join the camp.
During the training of the Shenji Camp, he performed the best, so Qin Ke appointed him as the battalion commander.
"I am honored to see the prince and to greet Rong Shaoqing."
Qin Ke nodded, "You will be in charge today, don't let Rong Shaoqing laugh at you."
The camp commander took the order and left.
Rong Xi was in high spirits and watched the "military exercise" in another world with Qin Ke.
Qin Ke is worthy of being called the God of War of the Wei Dynasty. After his training, the Shenji Camp not only has powerful firearms, but also has flexible and changeable formations and extremely treacherous tactics.
"Awesome!" Rong Xi's eyes lit up.
Qin Ke was very happy to receive his praise. Although he was not as talented as Lan Zhi, he could make the most of the tools made by Lan Zhi and not disappoint Lan Zhi.
Although there were deafening noises in his ears, Qin Ke felt peace in his heart.
It is his fortune to be recognized by Lan.
After the "military exercise", Rong Xi felt his heart surging with excitement. He couldn't help but hug Qin Ke, and his heart seemed to be filled with fireworks.
"Qin Sizhi, you are very good!"
How can you be so nice?
Qin Ke hugged him back and said softly, "Just to live up to Lan's trust."
He understood Rong Xi and knew what was in Rong Xi's mind, so he tried his best to build the Shenjiying. In addition to strengthening the military strength of Wei, it was also to prove Rong Xi's ability.
The power of the musket was all due to Rong Dalang.
Rong Xi was filled with a sense of accomplishment. After returning home, she was still very excited. She took the initiative to climb onto Qin Ke's shoulders and kissed him deeply.
The excitement suddenly broke out and could only be calmed by kissing.
His enthusiasm was so intense that Qin Ke was a little overwhelmed. When they paused, both of them had their hair disheveled and their clothes open.
A glimpse of fair skin caught Qin Ke's eyes. His heart skipped a beat and something in his body felt hard and painful, so he quickly looked away.
Rong Xi lay on the couch and panted heavily for a few times, then suddenly laughed and said, "Qin Sizhi, I can't wait any longer."
"Can't wait?" Qin Ke asked doubtfully.
Rong Xi said in a very low and hoarse voice, "Four months is really a long time."
The corners of his eyes were rosy and his pupils were full of water. His black hair spread on the pillow, making his skin look even whiter and smoother.
She has red lips and white teeth, and is a feast for the eyes.
Qin Ke's head exploded with a buzzing sound, and his chest heaved. He stared at Rong Xi passionately for a long while, then leaned over and kissed him fiercely.
Four months later, it was Rong Xi's birthday.
It really is...very long.
After a while, the two calmed down and dressed neatly, just in time Rong Lian and Liang Siwen came to look for them.
Rong Xi's lips were still a little red and swollen. When Rong Lian saw it, his face suddenly felt hot and he felt a little embarrassed.
"Second brother, what do you want from me?" Rong Xi was quite relaxed and at ease.
Rong Liandun cursed himself for being so ignorant, then smiled and said, "The autumn examination is approaching, and I want to go to Qingzhou Prefecture to take part in the examination."
Rong Xi had been busy with work recently and had forgotten about this matter. Feeling a little guilty, he asked, "Do you have enough money for the trip? If not, feel free to ask Mr. Liu for some."
"I have enough money," Rong shook his head hurriedly, "Brother, don't worry. I came here today to say goodbye to you. Brother, you are busy with official duties. If I come to say goodbye tomorrow, I am afraid I won't see you."
The second half of his sentence was obviously a joke.
Rong Xi smiled and said, "Be careful on the way."
Qin Ke looked at Liang Siwen: "Are you going to accompany him?"
The young man nodded firmly. He was worried about letting Rong Lian go to take the exam alone. Not only would he accompany him to the provincial examination, but he would also have to accompany him to Beijing to take part in the metropolitan examination in the future.
"Be sure to act with caution." Qin Ke warned coldly.
Rong Xi glanced at him, and then encouraged him gently: "Second brother, you are very talented, you will definitely pass."
The four of them chatted for a while, and then Rong Lian and Liang Siwen left.
The next day, Rong Lian and Liang Siwen left home by car.
Rong Xi watched the two go away, and when he turned around, he saw Qin Ke standing silently behind him. He felt very calm and relaxed. He smiled and said, "Come with me. I'll take you to see Bai Diezi."
Autumn and winter are the harvest seasons for white radish.
He had asked Zhang Zhi to pick a lot of them, and after drying them, they were packed into sacks, waiting for him to collect them.
The room was filled with white folded paper, which made Rong Xi feel very happy.
"Winter is coming. You can use white folded cloth to make cotton-padded jackets and quilts, so you won't be afraid of the cold."
Rong Xi smiled brilliantly, Qin Ke's heart beat faster, and he couldn't help but lean over and kiss him.
The two of them tasted a little and then rested.
"If you get cotton-padded jackets and quilts, how about sending some to Shengjing?" Rong Xi said, "One for the Marquis's residence and two for the palace."
"As you wish." Qin Ke had no objection.
Rong Xi still had some regrets. At present, there was no cotton textile technology and he was not good at it. Apart from cotton jackets and quilts, he didn't know how to make other cotton fabrics.
However, once cotton planting is promoted in the future, there will surely be many talented people among the people.
Practice makes perfect. Rong Zhai had made eight cotton-padded jackets before, and now he is making them again, and the progress is very fast.
A total of dozens of cotton-padded jackets and quilts were obtained.
Rong Xi and Qin Ke selected three copies and had them sent to Shengjing.
The Marquis Changxin Mansion in Shengjing.
When Princess Mingyi received the cotton-padded jacket and quilt, she was shocked by their softness and warmth and fell in love with them instantly.
She glanced at Marquis Changxin and asked, "What does the letter say?"
Marquis Changxin laughed and said, "This plant is called Bai Die Zi, and it was introduced from the Western Regions. After Dalang got the seeds, he personally cultivated the seedlings and now has a lot of harvest. This plant is light and can keep out the cold, and it is very effective."
"Has the palace sent it?"
Marquis Changxin nodded, "Of course."
In the palace, the emperor and the empress dowager reached out and touched the quilt, feeling very happy.
The winter climate in Shengjing was extremely cold. The Empress Dowager was very afraid of the cold and suffered greatly every winter.
Now that I have a cotton-padded jacket and quilt, how can I not be happy?
"Rong Dalang is truly..." The Queen Mother smiled with emotion, not knowing for a moment how to praise him.
The emperor smiled and said, "In addition to white radish, he was also the first to plant potatoes and corn."
After the two items became popular in the Wei Dynasty, naturally someone sent them to the palace as tribute.
The emperor and the empress dowager also tasted its deliciousness.
"He is a really good young man," the Queen Mother said, liking him more and more. "I once asked him if he was married, and he said he was not. His mother died young, and his father... no one arranged a marriage for him. It's pitiful."
The emperor knew what she meant and said with a smile, "Ah, mother, do you want to personally choose a young lady for him?"
"I really want to choose a virtuous wife for him," the Queen Mother shook her head and sighed, "but this job has been snatched away by your Aunt Mingyi."
The emperor couldn't help laughing. A'niang and aunt were really keen on matchmaking.
"Da Lang has a close relationship with cousin Qin. Aunt Mingyi is matchmaking for him. She must want to choose a wife for cousin Qin. You might as well fulfill her wish."
Everyone in Shengjing knew that Princess Mingyi had been extremely worried about Prince Qin's marriage.
Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother looked serious when she heard this and asked, "You are not young anymore, when will you be the Queen?"
The emperor immediately stood up and said, "Mother, I still have some memorials to review, so I won't disturb you to rest."
Then he hurried out of the hall.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but laugh and curse.
Twenty days later, Rong Lian and Liang Siwen returned together.
Rong Weijing immediately called him to the bedside and asked, "How is it?"
Rong Lian replied modestly: "Don't worry, Father. We will know the result when the result is announced."
The room was silent for a while, and Rong Weijing suddenly sighed: "Are you determined to enter the government?"
Rong Lian nodded heavily. Although he did not have the talent of his brother, he also wanted to be an official and speak for the people to benefit the people of Wei.
"If you don't marry after you enter the officialdom, do you know how your colleagues will ridicule you?" Rong Weijing tried to persuade Rong Lian to return to the right path.
Rong Lian said firmly, "Father, I did not enter the government to be respected by my colleagues, but to do practical things for the people, just like my brother."
He paused, then smiled and said, "Have you seen the harvest this year? Have you heard the people praising my brother? Do you know how amazing my brother's talent is?"
It's not that Rong Weijing didn't know, he just didn't want to admit his mistake.
"You go now."
He looked much older in an instant, as if all his energy and spirit had been drained away.
Rong Lian was worried and asked, "Father, are you feeling well? I'll go get Doctor Chen."
"No need." Rong Weijing closed his eyes and didn't want to say anything more.
Not long after, the results of the provincial examination were announced, and Rong Lian won the first place, and everyone was very happy.
Rong Xi and Qin Ke went to Rong's house to celebrate.
Because of happiness, Rong Xi drank some wine, and then was helped back to the new house by Qin Ke while drunk.
"Lanzhi, Lanzhi."
Qin Ke called him twice softly, and seeing that he was fast asleep, he stopped disturbing him.
The boy's cheeks were rosy, and he looked quite cute in his quilt.
He sat quietly and stared for a long time, his eyes full of tenderness, then leaned over and gave Rong Xi a gentle kiss on the forehead.
The author has something to say:
Princess Mingyi: I am so foresighted!
PS: Almost 8,000 words today! Won't you praise me? Ha ha ha ha
