Xiao Jing entered the palace for a long time and did not come out until the time of the palace ban.
On the other hand, Xia Hanxue rushed to Puhua Town and talked with Lu Shanshan in the newspaper for three hours.
When Xiao Jing returned to Puhua Town, the two women had already finished the secret talk and were chatting while drinking tea.
"Husband is here." Seeing him coming, Xia Hanxue smiled and left her seat and saluted: "There are still some things to be cleaned up in the village outside the city. I will go and see it first. I won't accompany you today."
Xiao Jing nodded, Xia Hanxue smiled and greeted Lu Shanshan before turning around and leaving.
"Why will I come back now?" Lu Shanshan smiled faintly and said, "Is it because His Majesty is also interested in those Westerners? This is a new thing. I thought he only likes melancholy and wine beauties."
Xiao Jing gently took her to her side and smiled and said, "Don't underestimate Shao Ning. He was a little dandy when he was not in power, but now he is an emperor and wants to do something for those families to see. How can he not work hard? In just two years, he has not received any imperial education at all, even the most complicated government affairs are handled in a good manner... Maybe he is a promising monarch."
After saying that, Shao Ning, he held Lu Shanshan a little tighter and sighed: "It's different from the past. I am Your Majesty's confidant. He is willing to negotiate with me if he has something, so he has been there for so long this time. Because I am also busy assisting the emperor, Shan'er shouldn't blame me for coming home late, right?"
Lu Shanshan chuckled and pinched his arm, saying, "A wise ruler always needs to be assisted by wise ministers. Our grassland children are broad-minded and will not even be petty about this matter. It's too late, just explain the matter clearly... But you, don't you ask your original wife what you are looking for me to do?"
Xiao Jing gave her helpless look and said, "You are not both of you, so don't tease me so badly. What's the reason Xueer came to hear the news? Isn't she just worried about you? As soon as you entered Darui, she was afraid that someone would be targeted by the Xia family. She was afraid that someone would take advantage of my absence and then came to take charge in person."
Lu Shanshan then said seriously: "I know that Sister Xueer is kind-hearted. However, I don't think she has to be so nervous. In my opinion, the Xia family may not have no other thoughts this time."
Seeing Xiao Jing's puzzled look, Lu Shanshan said again: "The Xia family is already powerful, and this time it has made the contribution of following the dragon, not to mention that the head of the Xia family is Shao Ning's uncle. Such a family is extremely prominent, but it will also be feared by the emperor. Not to mention anything else, I have heard about the indecisive throne. Do you think Shao Ning will have no knots in his heart?
Although you are from the Xia family, you are very close to the new emperor and are even regarded as brothers by him. As long as you are there, the emperor and the Xia family can pass on messages to each other, and many things are said to be harmonious, so there will be no real quarrel.
Not long ago, I regained the old royal tribe. The relationship between you and me is very close, and on the other hand, I don’t have much connection with the Xia family. Moreover, Shao Ning knew me well and did not only seek business under my rule. He rarely had any concerns about the old royal tribe who went south, and might even regard it as an helper.
In this case, since the Xia family cannot get rid of me because of your relationship, as long as I don’t do anything excessive, they can only turn a blind eye or even take the initiative to show goodwill to the emperor, which is also a way of balance."
After taking the initiative to explain, she gently broke free from Xiao Jing's arms and smiled: "Of course, even if this is a capital city, it is not that easy to do not help me, so don't worry. It's getting late, so I'll go to Wan'er's place to rest first and come to you another day."
Although she was a little reluctant, Xiao Jing had to get up and see him off.
When the two walked out of the yard, Lu Shanshan tightened her collar for Xiao Jing and said softly: "I will stay for several months when I come here. You and I have time to get together, so there is no need to hurry up."
As she said that, her tone suddenly turned cold and she smiled and said with a smile: "Besides, I don't want that girl Ziqian to make a joke... I'll leave first. It's very cold outside, so you go back."
As soon as she finished speaking, she flew onto a horse and rode away with her guards.
Xiao Jing smiled bitterly in the same place and didn't know what to say.
Shanshan and Ziqian had to quarrel as soon as they met, and they would be annoyed in the future.
Forget it, don’t care, let’s talk about what’s going on in the future!
That night, Xiao Jing made arrangements for Lu Shanshan to send the missionary to the palace the next day.
The next day, the scattered in the back.
Shao Ning looked at the two missionaries from Europe carefully, his eyes a little strange.
Fortunately, the two of them were used to such gazes. After giving the ceremony, they stood quietly, waiting for the emperor's golden words.
"Interesting, interesting." Shao Ning said with a flashing eyes: "I heard from the translator that you have been here for two years, and I have given myself the name of Darui?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." The taller one among the two replied in a strange but clear way: "The villain is called Ge Hongguang, and the one next to him is Luo Mingjing. If you have been summoned by Your Majesty today, this must be a god..."
He was rumbling there, and Shao Ning interrupted him impatiently: "I heard that you priests are all coming from the sea and preaching along the coast. Why did you two go deep into my heartland when you were discovered?"
The two missionaries looked at each other, and Luo Mingjing continued, "Go back to Your Majesty, we were driven away by people on the coast, and we had no choice but to go deep into the inland, without any bad intentions. In addition, we feel that people, whether poor or rich, should be qualified to listen to the gospel, so we went deep into Darui for more than 2,000 miles. In the past six months, we have also had some congregations, and then... we were brought by the marquis' friend."
Shao Ning glanced at Xiao Jing, and the latter nodded slightly.
No matter what their purpose is, being able to travel to remote areas at least means that people are down-to-earth and willing to work hard.
"Your Majesty has seen what you bring." Xiao Jing smiled reservedly, "I heard that the books in the box are also knowledge of your hometown?"
"Yes." Ge Hongguang said: "There are mathematics, engineering, investigation of things, astronomy, etc."
Xiao Jing looked at Shao Ning.
What would this emperor who has accepted countless thoughts from later generations under his command day after day and is willing to open his eyes to the world do?
Obviously, Shao Ning did not disappoint him.
"Since that's the case, I will assign you two errands. As long as you do it well, I will reward you heavily, and even build a grand church for you in the capital!"
Looking at the fiery eyes of the two missionaries, Xiao Jing couldn't help but sigh: This kid is good at painting cakes after becoming the emperor!
"First, use the fastest speed to translate all the untranslated books into Chinese."
"Secondly, if one of you returns to Europe, I will arrange for someone to accompany you. After you go back, you will invite me to see a skilled craftsman or a scholar with real talents and knowledge. I will not hesitate to reward you, as long as they can live in my Darui for ten years!"
