Chapter 96 I Must Be the Prince's Favorite Brother (Update 2)

Lu Zexu thought that on his first day in court, he should give the Minister of Revenue a little face.

He took out his precious notebook directly. He was still interested in the chemistry class. He was already very proficient in making soap. He had plenty of time to integrate what he had learned in the chemistry class.

Not only did he have to integrate it, but he also had to find a way to teach it to others. The knowledge he had learned with great difficulty must naturally be passed down in Daliang.

As a result, Lu Zehua on the opposite side was using an abacus so fast that his fingers were almost left with afterimages.

After calculating the numbers, he stopped and recorded them with a brush.

Meanwhile, Lu Zexu was leisurely flipping through his notebook, also concentrating on writing and drawing, and learning very seriously.

To outsiders, it was still a very harmonious scene.

Half a morning had passed, and the tall account book seemed to have not changed at all. Lu Zehua only counted one book, but this speed was already very fast.

But at this rate, when will these account books be finished?

Lu Zexu observed and found that Lu Zehua counted very quickly, but the pause time when recording was relatively long. After all, the brush had to be dipped in ink before writing, and sometimes the ink had to be ground by oneself, which was too time-consuming.

Then Lu Zexu gave him a pencil in his hand. You can write it down first, and then re-record it after the whole book is calculated, or ask the clerk to copy it.

In fact, Lu Zehua had already noticed that the pen he used was not a brush, and he wrote very quickly. It was a pen he had never seen before.

This pen must be very valuable.

Then, he got a pencil, which was sharpened.

"Pencils are more convenient for recording, and more convenient than brushes." Lu Zexu said.

Lu Zehua was excited, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so good to him! He

never forgets to share any good things with him!

He must be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's favorite brother!

He has to look through the warehouse when he goes back today. He is the older brother, and he can't always take his younger brother's things. What kind of words is that?

Lu Zexu glanced at the tall pile of account books: with a pencil, the speed can be doubled, and these account books should not be delayed for too long.

I can only say that this is really a beautiful misunderstanding.

Lu Zexu is not such an obedient person. He has been to court for three consecutive days. He has to get up early every day to listen to the ministers quarreling. After work, he has to go to the Ministry of Revenue to count the abacus. The workload for the whole day is seriously exceeded. He has fallen asleep for several days and has not encountered the opening time.

He felt that this was not okay, and then he began to take sick leave and did not go to court.

What Lu Zexu thought was to give Lu Chengtian and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty an adaptation process. If the leave was successful on the first day, wouldn’t it be easy every day after that? Anyway,

he would never go to court to work!

This was not in line with his goal!

But he never expected that, after taking this leave, he really didn't have to get up early to attend court, but he welcomed the imperial physician, Prince An, and the fifth prince who was the easiest to fool to come to see him.

The imperial physician felt the prince's strong pulse. This man was so strong that he could kill a cow with one punch.

If he was still weak, then he really didn't know what a healthy person should be like.

He didn't even know how to prescribe medicine.

As for Lu Ze'an and Lu Zehua, they were really worried. The two of them brought a lot of gifts and supplements to visit him, thinking that he was really sick from exhaustion.

Who knew that Lu Zexu was lying on the bed, leisurely enjoying the cool autumn breeze, eating the freshly made cakes in the small kitchen, so happy.

"Brother, Fifth Brother, don't worry. I'm just tired and want to rest for a few days."

Lu Ze'an already knew his younger brother very well, and he knew what was going on at a glance.

He was probably just being lazy.

"Your sister-in-law has brought silk and fabrics from Jiangnan, a total of 10 carts, as well as some embroidery works by skilled embroiderers, and several boxes, all of which have been brought to the East Palace."

Lu Ze'an talked about business. This was the first thing the prince asked him to do, so he had to do it beautifully.

Hearing this, Lu Zexu's eyes lit up, "Thank you, brother, thank you sister-in-law."

Seeing this, Lu Zehua immediately felt a strong sense of crisis. It seemed that the prince and his eldest brother were closer!

How could this be possible?

He still had to be the prince's favorite brother!

Lu Zehua immediately said, "Prince, I heard that you have been looking for a method to make water-grained paper. I asked someone to find it for you. If you want anything in the future, you can just tell me, Brother Wu."

Lu Zexu felt that the surprise came unexpectedly, "Brother Wu, how did you know the method to make water-grained paper? I asked someone to look it up for a long time. This is a secret of the Xie family."

"You can get something like this, you are too amazing!"

Lu Zehua was so happy that his ears started to turn red again, "It's... not that amazing."

"My grandfather is from the Xie family, and I asked him to negotiate with the Xie family."

Lu Zexu raised his eyebrows, "Master Xie really loves you."

Lu Zehua thought for a moment, "He doesn't love me that much, either. My grandfather took my pencil away. He seems to like using pencils very much."

Lu Zexu's mind turned, and he immediately understood the key, "When you leave, I'll have someone pack 10 pencils for you, and you can use them slowly when you go back!"

The 15-year-old boy was even happier, and he was visibly excited. He turned to look at Lu Ze'an with an inexplicable provocation in his eyes.

What do you think?

Now you know, I am the prince's favorite brother!

Lu Ze'an inexplicably understood his thoughts.

When he came back from the military camp, he heard that the relationship between the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince had become increasingly close. He looked at Lu Zehua, whose face was still bruised, and then at the Crown Prince who had beaten him up like this.

He really couldn't understand why the relationship between the two was so good.

Looking at the boxes of gifts Lu Zehua brought, it was clear that this Fifth Brother was sincere to the Crown Prince.

He even brought the papermaking method that the Crown Prince wanted.

He has been training soldiers in the military camp and ignored the needs of the prince.

An inexplicable desire to win came up.

"Sixth brother, if you want anything else, I can help you think of a solution." He did not forget to glance at the fifth brother beside him, his eyes full of smugness.

People who are really close to each other call each other brothers, but you actually call him the prince, and it is obvious that the relationship is not close.

Lu Zehua was angry. He

was a little eager to try and also wanted to call him the sixth brother.

Lu Zexu, who was in the center, did not notice the childish behavior between the two at all.

What did his sister say last time? Lu Zexu recalled seriously, "I want the manufacturing methods of all these papers we use in daily life."

"No problem! Leave it to me!"

Lu Ze'an and Lu Zehua responded in unison, and then they turned their heads quickly and looked at each other.

Lu Ze'an: What does it have to do with you? You just agreed to it carelessly!

Lu Zehua: You look for yours, I look for mine, don't worry about it!

In a flash, the eyes of the two people have crossed in the air for more than ten rounds.

Lu Zexu then discovered the strange atmosphere between the two.

He smiled, "That's great, with the help of the eldest brother and the fifth brother, things will definitely have results soon!"

"Of course!" The two said in unison again.

Lu Zexu was surprised, "I didn't expect that the eldest brother and the fifth brother would have such a good understanding!"

"Who has a good understanding with him!" The two retorted at the same time.

Lu Zexu suppressed his laughter, as if he was stroking the fur of two big cats, "Well, there is no tacit understanding."

The two: "..."

I felt that I was fooled.
