"I understand what the emperor means." Wen Xiaotu nodded bravely, okay, let's rush to the manuscript first.
The general manager Liang Kunyu didn't understand, but it didn't stop him from strictly carrying out the emperor's order. "That's good. I asked Wang Guan to leave the pen and ink to serve you. After you finish the painting, just send him to Qian'an Palace immediately." ——Leave a palace servant to watch Wen Meiren paint. This is also the emperor's personal order. I just don't know what the emperor asked Wen Meiren to paint, so he is so anxious.
Wen Xiaotu: Damn, His Majesty the Emperor is simply the most stringent editor! He actually sent a subordinate to monitor and urge manuscripts!
"Okay, I'll start writing now!" Wen Xiaotu said through gritted teeth. At the same time, he couldn't help scolding himself. What was wrong with talking about last night? It was about high-yielding crops! Now that it's better, he must also be high-yielding!
After seeing off General Manager Liang, there was also Deputy Manager Liang Xiaopang who stared at her with a smile.
Wen Xiaotu had no choice but to lead Liang Waguan straight to the study, lay out paper, polish ink, and then write all the time!
Um...the painting is crooked.
I haven’t touched geography for a long time, and both my memory and touch have deteriorated.
The good rice paper dumplings are still falling out, come again!
Taking a deep breath, I used the small regular script and fine pen on the rice paper to move smoothly, twisting and turning, covering the Eurasian continent, the African continent, the North and South American continents, plus Oceania and Antarctica!
——OK, the outlines are almost the same!
I can't see the details.
I can't help it, I can't remember it clearly.
Add some larger islands, such as Greenland, Bay Island, Little Japan, and Luzon. There are too many small islands. Just draw a few small circles to make sense.┓(`)┏It’s not like the geography teacher is good at all. Maybe he could travel through time and beat her up!
Then roughly mark the names. Needless to say, each continent and each ocean. The Daxuan Kingdom of this dynasty focuses on marking. In this era, the Bangzi Kingdom was still a filial vassal state of this dynasty, named Lee's Korea, and Little Japan was still a traitor...
There are also Luzon, Siam and some European countries...
Oh, I almost forgot the most important place of production for sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are native to Central America, which is now Mexico. As for potatoes, they are produced in South America. I can’t remember the specific area. There is also corn...probably also Central and South America. , mark them all.
Conveniently, Wen Xiaotu drew three more pictures of high-yielding crops. She had learned sketching in her previous life and inherited the traditional Chinese painting skills of the original owner in this life, so the sweet potatoes, potatoes and corns she drew were relatively realistic.
"Well, it's done!" Wen Xiaotu took a long breath and put down the brush in his hand.
Liang Wankuan's fat white face, which looked like a big steamed bun, was filled with surprise. What did Wen Meiren draw? He didn't understand the first picture at all, like looking at the Book of Heaven, but he could roughly understand the next three pictures. They seemed to be flowers and trees? This is it. The painting that the emperor ordered Wen Meiren to paint?
After blowing it dry gently, Wen Xiaotu said: "Present these to the emperor."
Liang Wanguan felt very uneasy, "Is this... really the painting that the emperor specified?"
Wen Xiaotu nodded: "Yes, I drew three more pictures!" - to avoid having to go back and ask the emperor to urge the manuscript again.
Liang Wankuan was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Wen Meiren looked serious, it should be...no problem, right?
Liang Wankuan gathered these four paintings with worry, cupped his hands, and then slipped back to resume his life.
After sending Liang Wankuan off, her eunuch Xiao Yuanbao came in with a smile and reported: "Master, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has chosen a date for you. Seven days from now will be the most auspicious day for relocation."
Wen Xiaotu was dissatisfied: "Ah? We still have to wait seven days? Can't we hurry up?"
Xiao Yuanbao whispered: "This is already the most auspicious day of the zodiac. Besides, the Changyi Palace needs to be tidied up and equipped with cooking masters. Seven days is already very fast."
Wen Xiaotu sighed, if he moved to Zhaohua Palace, there would be no need for such trouble!
The master of the pot and stove is the cook. There are small kitchens in the east and west palaces. If there are concubines staying, they will naturally need to be equipped with cooks. I don’t know how many cooks His Majesty will give her. She doesn’t need too many people. She just hopes that the cooks will be there. The art is better - at least better than the Beigong Dining Room.
In the Qianyuan Hall, the front hall of Qian'an Palace, Emperor Mingzhao looked at the map and high-yielding crops map that Liang Wanguan took. He couldn't help but stretch his eyebrows and was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that Wen was so attentive and even specially drew pictures of sweet potatoes. It also comes with a third high-yielding crop, and she is quite docile and sensible.
"Not bad!" His Majesty the Emperor, who has always been strict, can say the word "not bad", which is already a very high praise.
Seeing this, Liang Kunyu hurriedly bowed and asked: "Your Majesty, over at Changyi Palace... I don't know how to arrange the number of people on the stove?" - There are only two levels of cooks in the East and West Sixth Palace: Four The concubine and the ninth concubine. However, Wen Meiren is just a worldly woman, and it is against the rules for both the ninth concubine and the fourth concubine!
Mingzhao looked unhappy, why should such a trivial matter as big as sesame seeds and mung beans bother me?
"What were the regulations before, are the regulations now!" Ming Zhao said in a cold tone.
Liang Kunyu was shocked. Changyi Palace was originally the palace where the Queen Mother was a royal concubine. Is it possible that Wen Meiren should be given the configuration of the fourth concubine?!
Ming Zhao was startled, but I almost forgot. He coughed twice and said, "Just compare it to Zhaohua Palace." Let's take the Nine Concubines. The high-yielding crops offered by the Wen family are nine out of ten true. Yes, with such a great contribution, it would not be an exaggeration to rank her as the ninth concubine in the future. Now it is just to give her such regulations in advance, it is not out of the ordinary.
Liang Kunyu breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, I understand." - He still had a new understanding of Wen Meiren's favor in his heart. It seemed that the day when this beauty became a concubine was not far away! It seems that Changyi Palace The rough messengers, eunuchs and maids can be ranked according to the rank of the ninth concubine.
Ming Zhao: It’s really noisy!
"You should also step back!" Ming Zhao waved his hand with a dark face.
"Yes!" Liang Kunyu knew that his royal master did not like the close service of palace people, so he hurriedly led his godson to retreat.
His ears were quiet, and Ming Zhao's expression softened a lot. I never expected that Wen's ability to be different from ordinary people was so special, that he could draw such an accurate map of the nine states in the world, and these things that were like divine objects. High yield crops…
If these divine objects can be found, let alone the ninth concubine, it would not be an exaggeration to grant her the title of concubine.
Seven days passed in a blink of an eye. Because she was now "the most favored of the Sixth Palace", and Liang Kunyu, the chief minister of the Imperial Palace, was personally busy urging everyone, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was very efficient, and in just four or five days, they took care of the inside and outside of Changyi Palace. The outside was cleaned and decorated neatly, and a lot of furniture was deliberately added. On the sixth day, the cooks and stove masters and rough ambassadors in the small kitchen of the first palace were fully equipped.
On the seventh day, Wen Xiaotu happily moved into her new home. Because she didn't have much luggage, the eunuchs and maids of Yanqing Hall moved all the luggage in one trip, which was called a quick move.
"Greetings to the beautiful lady!" As soon as we arrived at Changyi Palace, a group of palace maids and eunuchs knelt down in the huge front yard outside the main palace. The leader was actually a familiar person, the fat and white deputy manager Liang Wanguanliang. .
Wen Xiaotu was stunned, "Are you all masters of the pot stove?" - Why did an imperial eunuch break in?
