Chapter 18     The family, glass greenhouse

The snow stopped this morning. As the evening approached, the Sun family was already filled with smoke and bright lights.

Dongdongdongdongdong...

Zhuge Liang held a child and shaved the rattle in his hand to make him laugh.

This is the child born by Bai Qi and Xu Jie. He is less than one year old and his name is Bai Chao. His name in the Sun family is Sun Chao.

"Nephew, come and laugh for Uncle Five!"

Chongzhen came over and stared at Bai Chao, who also stared at Chongzhen with wide eyes.

"I won't laugh, I won't take you to play in the future."

As he said that, he reached out and picked up Bai Chao.

This kid doesn't admit his birth, and he doesn't cry when he holds him.

"Fifth brother, if you like children, get married quickly."

Bai Qi walked in with some cut vegetables and said, "A lot of people came in to propose marriage, but you didn't even like it?"

Zhuge Liang also said: "Yes, don't be too picky."

Chongzhen said, "I'm not in a hurry. Are there any older brothers in front of me? Especially my second brother, this life is long, so I'll find someone to accompany me so that I won't live alone to live a lonely life."

Chongzhen was open-minded about getting married, and he could just meet someone who had a close eye.

Zhuge Liang has no intention of getting married yet.

Of course, Bai Qi, the oldest of their current body, is only twenty years old, and it is still early.

Their current status and status ignore the court's policy of early marriage.

Zhuge Liang said calmly: "Let's talk about it later. Don't take care of me. If you meet a good girl, just marry me."

Bai Qi put down the vegetables and left again.

Zhang Hao, Li Bai, Bai Qi, Xu Jie, and Mrs. Sun (their adopted mother), were preparing the dishes to use tonight.

To eat hot pot, Zhang Hao’s idea of ​​hot pot, hence he needs to prepare many seasonings, vegetarian dishes, and meat dishes.

It was dark and the preparations were almost the same.

Bai Qi, Zhuge Liang, Li Bai, Chongzhen, Sun Hao, Xu Jie, Mrs. Sun, Bai Chao and others sat together.

It's only Yue Fei.

Mrs. Sun was worried about Yue Fei: "I wonder if your brother Sun Fei is doing well now, whether there is any food, and whether it will be frozen..."

Everyone comforted her, which made Mrs. Sun feel better.

"It tastes so good, let the nurse take Chao'er down."

Bai Qi was afraid that the smell of hot pot would smoke his son, so he asked someone to leave it to the nurse for the time being.

Rich people are good, you can hire a nurse.

The hot pot tastes good, the key is the good atmosphere and it is warm to eat.

During the process, Mrs. Sun said, "Taibai, I heard someone wants to tell you a good marriage?"

Li Bai glanced at Chongzhen, and Chongzhen expressed helplessness. Mrs. Sun asked him if he had any girl he liked, and he sold Li Bai.

Zhang Hao started to cheer, "Mother, there is indeed this. It is a court minister. Yu Shinan wants to betroth his little granddaughter to his third brother. That girl is also a well-educated and talented woman, and she is very compatible with the third brother."

Yu Shinan and Mrs. Sun had never heard of it, but when she heard that she was the granddaughter of the court minister, she was a little worried, fearing that the family was not in line with each other.

Sister-in-law Xu Jie asked: "Have you met? What is your appearance and what is your character?"

Chongzhen said, "The girl from the Yu family is beautiful and has a dignified and elegant appearance. After seeing her third brother, he thinks she is not bad."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "A man is handsome and beautiful, and he is a perfect match. It seems that he will congratulate his third brother."

Bai Qi said: "If you think it's good, marry it, and if you don't, you'll refuse it. No matter what, your family will support you."

Li Bai looked at everyone and said, "This matter has not been settled yet, so I can't say it."

It can be heard that Li Bai was still satisfied with the other girl.

Mrs. Sun said: "Taibai, you can't hurt other girls anyway, and you can't let yourself down."

Li Bai is now promising and becomes an official, so Mrs. Sun is not easy to stop him. Besides, the old man has always asked the six brothers to make their own decisions.

Mrs. Sun and Xu Jie finished their meal first, and Xu Jie helped the old lady leave, and then went to take care of her son.

Zhang Hao and the other six continued to eat, drink and chat.

“There are too few vegetables in winter!”

Everyone had only meat dishes left. Zhang Hao thought of an idea: "Why try to make a glass greenhouse?"

With this idea, Zhang Hao found someone to start doing it after the New Year.

After more than ten days, a decent greenhouse was completed.

Zhuge Liang was curious: "Are you going to grow vegetables here?"

This is the first time Zhuge Liang and others have heard of growing vegetables on ice and snowy days.

However, more than a month later, when Zhang Hao planted some vegetables that he would not see in winter, they were shocked.

"Control the temperature to control the growth of vegetables, interesting."

Zhuge Liang thought it was very good, "I will learn from you. If you have nothing to do, you will have all kinds of vegetables in this greenhouse."

Chongzhen sighed: "I didn't expect that hundreds of years later, human beings were already so outstanding that they could not imagine. Science and technology have indeed been ignored throughout the dynasties.

If we hadn't met our fifth brother, we would have been just foolish frogs in the well."

Li Bai gnawed on the crispy and sweet cucumber: "It tastes very good, I want those to send them to friends."

Chongzhen smiled and said, "Do you want to send the girl from the Yu family?"

Li Bai smiled and did not deny it.

Now the marriage between Li Bai and the girl in the Yu family has been decided, and the wedding date has been chosen, and the marriage will be done a few months later. The woman is only one year younger than Li Bai.

Sister-in-law Xu Jie smiled and said, "It should be given, it should be."

Then he said to Zhang Hao: "Sixth brother, you can also teach me how to grow vegetables in greenhouses."

Bai Qi said, "You all learn, I will learn too."

Zhang Hao nodded: "I plan to build another glass greenhouse. The vegetables I grow will be used to give them to others if I can't eat them. It's also a favor."

Using off-season vegetables and fruits to give gifts is convenient and novel, and it is a good choice and no one will refuse.

At this time, some watermelons were still planted in Zhang Hao's glass greenhouse, which had already blossomed and bear fruit.

Zhang Hao accidentally found watermelon this summer. However, it was not called watermelon at this time, but cold melon, because it was refreshing to eat it in summer.

Moreover, there were not many people growing watermelons at this time in the Tang Dynasty, only some of them were planted.

Zhang Hao didn't know if the watermelon came from a foreign country. Anyway, he met it in the early Tang Dynasty, so he collected some watermelon seeds.

It is already spring when the watermelon is ripe.

Spring is warm and flowers bloom!

Zhang Hao sent out the grown watermelons, accompanied by some other vegetables, fruits and melons.

Fang family, Du family, Tang family, Cheng family, Yuchi family, Li family, etc.

Zhang Hao still maintained a good relationship with Fang Yiai, Du Gou, Cheng Huailiang, Yuchi Baolin and others, and made an appointment to come out to drink from time to time.

I will give you some things during festivals to avoid getting unfamiliar.

In addition to the tributes formulated by the palace, there are new things that will be sent to the palace through Li Bai, which was approved by Emperor Taizong of Tang.

Li Bai and Chongzhen would also give things to some friends and colleagues.

For example, Yu Shinan’s Mansion, Chu Suiliang’s Mansion, Wang Ji’s Mansion, etc.

Royal Palace.

After receiving the things sent by Li Bai, the eunuch quickly notified Emperor Taizong of Tang.

This is the love that Emperor Taizong of Tang for Li Bai, and he really likes Li Bai's poems and essays very much.

Give some convenience privileges, it's more normal.
