The days spent with Liu Ziguang were the happiest time in the eldest princess's life. Every day she was busy cooking and making soup herself, and then asked the palace maids and eunuchs to deliver them to the imperial envoy's palace. She also specially asked the palace maids to record the Zhenwu
The uncle's evaluation of the food, how many chopsticks he took for each dish, how many mouthfuls of which soup he drank, he would secretly remember, and report back to the eldest princess so that the quality of the dishes could be improved.
When Liu Ziguang was away on business, the eldest princess would send the maids and eunuchs over and over to the imperial envoy's residence to inquire about Liu Ziguang's whereabouts. She would be worried if he came back late.
She is a virtuous housewife. The eldest princess likes to listen to people tell the story of Liu Ziguang most, how he fought bravely on the front line in Shandong and how he eradicated traitors in the capital. She never tires of hearing it. The palace maids and eunuchs are trying to please the princess. One
A storyteller and a Pingtan artist cameo as a storyteller, telling the princess over and over again various versions of Liu Ziguang's anecdotes. As time went by, Liu Ziguang's status in Zhu Cheng's mind became even greater. It turned out that the person he liked was truly unparalleled in the world.
He is an unparalleled hero. Girls imagine the scene of marrying into Zhenwu Bofu every day, and their hearts feel sweet.
It’s not like Liu Ziguang didn’t know what the eldest princess was thinking. Two pots of small fish fell into the pot a day, and seven or eight large plates of other dishes were sent to him every day. The banquet given by the princess was not this kind of gift. It was clearly a wife delivering food to her husband.
But the hardest thing to accept is the kindness of a beauty. The current situation leaves him with no choice. Over there at the Liguo Iron Works, Peng Jinrong, whose father is critically ill, is waiting for him to get married. Although the eldest princess here has not said anything clearly, but who is so affectionate?
Everyone can see that if he marries Peng Jinrong now, he will definitely have no chance with the eldest princess in this life, but if he shamelessly abandons Peng Jinrong to become the prince-in-law, that would be too shameful. Liu Ziguang cannot do such a thing no matter what.
matter.
Most of the small fish pot dumplings sent by the eldest princess were eaten by Liu Mao Mao. Looking at Liu Mao Mao who was licking the bottom of the bowl, Liu Ziguang thought about it for a long time. After thinking for a long time, he decided to bid farewell to the eldest princess and rushed to Li.
In order to avoid causing trouble, he planned to fly directly back to Liguo from Changzhou without stopping in the capital on the way. Sun Gang escorted the eldest princess and Hu Bu's money back to the capital, Liu Xiaomao, Han Xueer and the others also returned to the capital with the convoy, alone.
Just hit the road.
When the palace maids, eunuchs and guards saw the person their princess had been longing for arriving, they quickly reported that the eldest princess was making fish soup. When they heard Uncle Zhenwu arriving, they quickly dressed up and tidied up to accept Liu Ziguang's visit. Since meeting at Shanghai Station,
, this is the first time Liu Ziguang has taken the initiative to pay a visit to the President Princess, "I wonder why he came to see me?" Zhu Cheng's heart was beating wildly and he couldn't speak. Liu Ziguang was also conflicted in his heart and didn't know how to act.
He was so eloquent that for a moment the hall was silent.
"What do you want to report to Liu Qing's family?" The eunuch next to him was a very discerning person. Seeing that neither of them spoke first, he simply broke the silence for his princess.
"Wei Chen is here to bid farewell to the eldest princess, and will rush to Xuzhou Mansion to get married." Liu Ziguang said.
"Getting married..." Zhu Cheng was stunned for a moment, but Bingxue was smart and she immediately understood the reason. Liu Ziguang's heart had already belonged to someone else. Now that he has become successful and famous, it is natural for a pair of lovers to finally get married.
.
Over the past few days, the eunuchs and maids have told her a lot of palace rules. The simple truth that a princess cannot be a child for others has naturally been instilled in her mind. If Liu Ziguang marries someone else first, then it means that the two of them will
There will never be any intersection between them.
Zhu Cheng's mind suddenly went blank. She had considered this issue a long time ago. When they were in Hongze Lake, he saw that Liu Ziguang and Peng Jingrong were a couple. Originally, he only wanted to be a concubine, but now because of his status as a princess,
, I can’t even make a concubine.
When Zhu Cheng woke up, Liu Ziguang had already left. The commoner princess who grew up by Hongze Lake didn't say anything, put on an apron and went out to the kitchen, continuing to cook her best small fish pot, just making soup.
Tears were streaming down her cheeks. Those palace maids and eunuchs usually received a lot of favors from the princess. At this time, they couldn't help but feel distressed when they saw the princess sad. They comforted her: "Your Highness, you should rest early."
"Wait until I finish boiling this pot of soup. He has a big appetite, and the long journey without hot food will hurt his health." The eldest princess wiped her tears and said seriously.
"Your Highness, I've already left. Uncle Zhenwu just came to say goodbye. He said goodbye to you and took the airship back. We don't have anywhere to send you off after you've finished it." A palace maid said in confusion.
The eldest princess was still busy and seemed not to have heard what the palace maid said. Another older palace maid patted the palace maid who had just spoken and signaled her not to disturb the eldest princess. She kept making small fish pot collapse. For the eldest princess, maybe it was
The best kind of sustenance.
Liu Ziguang took an airship and set off overnight, heading toward Xuzhou along the sparkling canal under the moonlight. The airship's movement mostly relied on reference objects on the surface. The corresponding topographic maps were already being surveyed and mapped. They would not be needed after the flight maps were released.
We simply relied on the canal to travel, and the telegram to Liguo had been sent to Peng Jinrong in advance. It is estimated that the preparations for the wedding will be almost complete after arrival.
Zhenwu Bo's wedding is a big event that cannot be taken carelessly, so Liu Ziguang has already written a letter for Sun Gang to present to the emperor. In addition, preparations must be made at Zhenwu Bo's residence in the capital, with lanterns and colors, wedding invitations distributed, and wedding banquets arranged.
Of course, other people will be busy with these things. Liu Ziguang's main task is to pick up the bride.
After dozens of hours of flight, the airship finally arrived over the Liguo Iron Works. Seeing the majestic city walls below, the earth-red iron mines, and the slaves working like ants, Liu Ziguang couldn't help but feel excited. He came to this place three years ago.
When we were young, we were just like those ants, doing the hardest work, eating the worst food, and being in danger of dying at any time. Now we have become important ministers of the country, with a large number of soldiers and a fortune of tens of millions.
And the unreachable lady of the boss is about to become his wife. All this is like a dream, a dream that is too long. Liu Ziguang sighed softly. He didn’t know what happened to the world he was in. What happened to his father?
How is your mother's life? It would be great if we could transcend time and space and let the two elders see the wife they married and the things they worked so hard for.
"Sir," the pilot Masaiyu called out softly, waking Liu Ziguang up from his endless thoughts. It turned out that the airship had already docked. Liu Ziguang hadn't been to the Liguo Railway Plant for a long time. The development here was very rapid. A tall tower was in the city.
Towering inside, three or four airships were docked nearby. In order to facilitate and save costs, ironworks technicians invented this kind of airport-like building. In the future, airships will not need to deflate every time they land, and then inflate again after taking off.
Trouble.
Liu Ziguang went down the special rope ladder to the airport. Everyone at the Liguang Railway Plant was already waiting in line. When they saw him appearing, they all bowed respectfully and shouted in unison: "Welcome to you, my dear uncle."
Liu Ziguang's lieutenant general of the iron guard and accountant prime minister are still on the job. In addition, he is already a famous pillar of the country and a first-class earl. He is given the gift of sitting in a python robe and wearing it. What a majesty and honor it is. Everyone in the iron factory is proud of it.
I feel very proud and excited to have such an uncle. As for the humble background of this uncle, no one mentions it. Even if someone mentions it without opening their eyes, they will be killed immediately.
The Liguo Railway Factory was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and everything was repainted. Red silk was tied everywhere, making it a joyful scene. According to the rules, the groom and the bride could not meet each other three days before the wedding, so Liu Ziguang could not see his bride for the time being, and
He couldn't live in the woman's house, so the iron factory arranged for him to live outside the city.
Liu Ziguang's current task is to send betrothal gifts to welcome the bride. The betrothal gifts have been prepared a long time ago. According to local rules, a large number of silks, gold and silver utensils were packed in large red lacquer boxes, tied with red silk.
They were lined up at the entrance of the iron factory, and the gong and drum team was working hard to blow the birds to the phoenix, creating a happy atmosphere.
But there is still an atmosphere of sadness in the air, because the founder of the iron factory, Factory Owner Peng, has passed away not long ago. More than a dozen famous doctors invited gave him a critical illness notice, saying that he would not be able to survive this winter.
A doctor from Jinan Prefecture said that if he could celebrate with a happy event, he might be able to survive the winter and survive until autumn. That's why Peng Jinrong urgently asked Liu Ziguang to get married. Let's treat a dead horse as a living horse. For such a
Liu Ziguang could not refuse his filial piety, so he came to Liguo so quickly.
Liu Ziguang, accompanied by his sister-in-law Peng Jingwei, came to the hospital bed of Factory Owner Peng. The old man looked good. It seemed that mental therapy had indeed had a certain effect. After Liu Ziguang came in, the two sides exchanged a few polite words between father-in-law and uncle.
After that, Mr. Peng waved his daughter away and wanted to have a good talk with the new uncle.
After Peng Jingwei pouted and exited, Liu Ziguang and Factory Owner Peng were the only ones left in the room. The cast-iron radiator was emitting heat, making the room warm, and a bitter smell of Chinese medicine filled the air.
"My old life is hanging on ginseng and bird's nest, otherwise I would have returned to the west long ago." said the factory owner Peng. His hair is all white and there are many age spots on his face. He looks like he is in his twilight years.
"The factory owner will be blessed with great blessings, and he will surely live a long life." Liu Ziguang felt that there was nothing to say. Liu Ziguang felt that there was nothing to say. He and his father-in-law had not interacted with each other a few times, so he could only come here so dryly.
One sentence.
"Don't talk about useless things. I gave my daughter to you. I hope you can make her happy all her life. I have nothing to leave you. Only this factory. The Liguo Iron Works is my thirty years of hard work. Now
Even if it is the dowry of Ronger and Weier." Factory owner Peng said with a smile.
"What, Wei'er?" Liu Ziguang opened his mouth in surprise.
"Of course I, the father, know what my daughter is thinking. You should accept Wei'er when the time is right. Otherwise, I will divide a share of the family property between my two sons-in-law. You must know that it is easy to break a chopstick, but it is difficult to break a pair of chopsticks.
The factory must become stronger to survive. Like the imperial court, the factory can only have one head. I think you are more suitable to be the head than Ronger. Also, Wei'er may have been sorry for you in the past. This is all
I have spoiled her, and I hope you can disregard past grudges and treat my two daughters equally."
Factory owner Peng gave himself his two daughters and the entire iron factory. Liu Ziguang felt that he should also show his sincerity by giving some real betrothal gifts, so he took out an official document signed by himself and said: "
Father-in-law, this is the auction document from Qishuyan Machinery Factory, now my son-in-law will take this as a betrothal gift."
"Hahaha" Factory Owner Peng laughed happily. His old rival for many years was finally annexed by him. How could this not make him excited? The laughter shook his lungs for a while, and he coughed again. Liu Ziguang helped Factory Owner Peng pat his back.
After regaining his breath, the old man pointed to a painting on the wall and said, "Go and take that painting away."
Liu Ziguang took off the painting as instructed, revealing a finely crafted turntable inside, with scales and numbers on it, "Three turns to the left to fifteen, three turns to the right to thirty, and two turns to twenty." Peng Chang
The owner was talking from behind, and Liu Ziguang's mind was moved. Could this be a turntable combination lock? After turning it according to Factory Owner Peng's words, a small iron door opened as expected.
"Take out the things inside, that is another dowry from me to you." Factory owner Peng said.
Liu Ziguang carefully took out a red velvet box from the password safe, opened it gently, and then uncovered the oil paper and white cloth inside. What came into view were four large characters: "High School Physics".
