In the study room of Prince Su's Mansion, Wei Jiao, the head of the clan, looked at the sky outside the window, turned around and smiled at Zhao Hongrun and said, "Your Highness is not worried at all? ... His humble position means that he is worried about Mr. Wen."
At this time, Zhao Hongrun was sitting behind his desk, looking at a report from the Manufacturing Bureau in his hand. After hearing this, he glanced at Wei Jiao and said with a smile: "Wen Qi? Are you worried about him? Do you mean you are worried that he will be cheated in the examination room and be punished?"
Are you caught, or are you worried that he will make a mistake in his performance and be eliminated in the first round?"
"Of course it's the former... Well, I can't guarantee the latter." Wei Jiao said with a grin.
After hearing this, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but laugh.
Of course the master and servant knew that Wen Qi had been forced by Lu'er to study hard day and night in the front yard of the mansion in the past few days.
Zhao Hongrun felt funny when he thought about this, because some of the books in his study were books from the Chu State, and there were even some books that focused on "education and entertainment", such as "Education through Fables of Gods and Ghosts"
A book for people to do good and learn well.
Can such books be of any help to the exam?
Not at all!
But Lu'er didn't know this. She didn't know many words, so she borrowed all the books and forced Wen Qi to read and recite them all night long. Zhao Hongrun believed that Wen Qi's mood at that time was
Almost collapsed.
Just as Zhao Hongrun and Wei Jiao were laughing in glee at their misfortune, they suddenly heard several gentle knocks at the study door.
Due to the angle, Zhao Hongrun's line of sight was blocked by a wooden frame decorated with various jade toads, bonsai and other decorations. He did not see anyone outside the study, but Wei Jiao saw it and whispered: "It's 'Little
lady"."
Zhao Hongrun immediately knew who the visitor was. After all, the only person in the mansion who could allow Wei Jiao to address him as "Little Madam" in a respectful tone was Yang Shixing, because this woman single-handedly supported hundreds of people in Prince Su's mansion.
expenditure.
Sure enough, with Zhao Hongrun's permission, Yang Yanxing led a maid to the inner room of the study. After Yingying saluted, she said softly: "My husband has been working hard these days. I made a pot of chicken soup to replenish my husband."
Body..."
As she spoke, she picked up a bowl with a lid from the tray in the maid's hand and walked to Zhao Hongrun.
Seeing this, Wei Jiao grinned and exited the study room knowingly.
The maid also left wisely, leaving only Zhao Hongrun and Yang Yanxing in the study.
"Husband, please drink it while it's hot. When it's cold..." Just after saying this, Yang Shixing suddenly saw the report from the Smelting Bureau in Zhao Hongrun's hand. Although he didn't know what it was, he also understood that his husband might be in trouble at the moment.
, quickly changed her words and said: "I have disturbed my husband, I will leave now."
With that said, she put the bowl of soup in her hand next to the desk and left.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but smile bitterly.
You know, he and Yang Yanxing have known each other for five or six years. Logically speaking, these five or six years are enough time for the two unfamiliar people to become familiar with each other. But unfortunately, because Zhao Hongrun has
Most of the time, Li was leading troops on an expedition, so when Yang Shixing saw him, he would still be a little unfamiliar and afraid.
This is no joke. For five or six years, Zhao Hongrun spent at least 70% of his time away from Daliang. Because of this, he was constantly scolded by Concubine Shen Shu, who was eager to have a grandson.
No, during the Chinese New Year, Zhao Hongrun was just scolded by Concubine Shen Shu: He obviously already had four confidantes, Miss Su, Oona, Mi Jiang, and Yang Zi Xing, but after several years, the bellies of these four concubines
There was no movement at all.
What Concubine Shen Shu couldn't understand even more was that Mi Jiang and Yang Yan Xing, who had been called "Madam" by people in Prince Su's palace for several years, were still virgins. This made Concubine Shen Shu wish she could send an imperial doctor to diagnose her eldest son.
Check to see if there are any hidden diseases or something.
Recalling the scene at that time, Zhao Hongrun could only shake his head and sigh: What a disaster!
"There's no need to leave in a hurry, my husband has nothing to do." Zhao Hongrun said softly.
Hearing this, Yang Yanxing couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he said timidly: "Then... I will serve my husband to drink soup?"
Zhao Hongrun smiled slightly, moved his buttocks, leaving half a seat, and then patted the seat.
Seeing this, a hint of shyness flashed across Yang Yanxing's face, and she carefully sat on the chair on the other side. Then she took the soup bowl, scooped out a spoonful of it with a spoon, opened her red lips slightly, blew on it gently, and then put it into Zhao Hongrun's mouth.
When she saw the latter drinking it, a satisfied smile suddenly appeared on her face.
The bowl of chicken soup was actually not much. It was about the same size as a rice bowl. If Zhao Hongrun drank it by himself, he could actually drink it all in one gulp with the bowl in hand. However, because he was fed spoon by spoon of lamb tongue apricot, he drank a full bowl of chicken soup.
The work of burning incense.
During this period, Zhao Hongrun looked at Sheep Tongue Xing quietly.
Five or six years ago, that little girl who was only fourteen years old but trembled in the middle of the night and crawled onto his bed secretly with a look of fear on her face, has now become slim, gentle and charming. What is incredible is that this seemingly weak woman
, in fact, it is half the sky of Prince Su’s Mansion.
It was precisely because of the presence of Yang Toixing in the palace that Zhao Hongrun could safely lead his army to conquer the north and south. The so-called virtuous wife was generally like this.
While Zhao Hongrun was looking at Yang Yanxing, Yang Yanxing also secretly looked at Zhao Hongrun from time to time. The latter's gaze gradually made her pretty face blush, making her even more charming.
Once upon a time, when she was only fourteen years old, she first met the man next to her. At that time, she was ignorant and did not know anything about men and women. Just because they slept in bed for one night, they were considered husband and wife, so later she often used the term "King Su's"
Concubine's house.
Later, when she got older, when people like Su Su, Oona and others thought it was okay to reveal some sexual intercourse to her, she realized with shame and anger how funny her original behavior was - the so-called sexual intercourse between husband and wife was not a sexual intercourse at all.
That's what she originally thought.
What made her even more embarrassed was that every time she returned to the palace to greet her mother-in-law, Concubine Shen Shu, the mother-in-law would always ask her in a cryptic way if there was any movement in her stomach.
She is still a virgin, what can happen?!
At this point, she had some complaints about her husband Zhao Hongrun. He spent far more time away from home every year than he did in Daliang. Even in Daliang, her husband sometimes stayed up late at night and was busy with metallurgy.
Something that creates a situation.
Calculated in this way, in fact, there are not many days spent with these female family members, maybe only twenty or thirty days throughout the year.
But she also understood that she was not the only one who was worried. Who among the female relatives in the house was not worried?
Especially whenever her mother-in-law, Concubine Shen Shu, complained intentionally or unintentionally, saying that one of the concubines in the palace had become a grandmother, or that the prince had given birth to a son or a daughter, leaving aside others for the time being, at least Yang Yanxing felt uncomfortable in her heart.
But this year, the mother-in-law has issued a death order to these daughters-in-law. No matter what, the mother-in-law will see some movement in the stomachs of these daughters-in-law.
But how to do it specifically?
Yang Yanxing went to ask two sisters who had come before, namely Miss Su and Oona.
Miss Su was so shy that she couldn't reveal anything useful for a long time, but Oona, a woman from the Sanchuan Yi tribe, was much more generous. She took Yang Yanxing and taught her some experience, which can be summed up in two words - seducing.
.
I remember that at that time, Oona proudly recounted the process of rolling a sheepskin rug with Zhao Hongrun, which made Yang Yanxing stunned for a while.
Because she had tried this kind of seduction method of coming to her door, but Zhao Hongrun thought she was too young and coaxed her into it.
Of course, this is not the key point. The key point is that she was young and ignorant at the time, but now, how could she have the nerve to crawl into a man's bed in the middle of the night like Oona said? Even though this man is her husband-in-law.
However, if she doesn't do this, when will it be her turn?
"What are you thinking about?"
Seeing that Yang Ton Xing's face was red, Zhao Hongrun asked doubtfully.
"Yeah?" Zhao Hongrun interrupted her thoughts, and Yang Yanxing exclaimed. As if she had just woken up from a dream, she put down the soup bowl in her hand, held her burning cheeks with both hands, and was shy and speechless - how could she have the nerve to put it down?
Oona taught her to speak those words.
"Husband, what is this?" She was smart and learned to change the subject without any teacher, and asked, pointing to the report from the Smelting Bureau on the desk.
Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun showed a bit of a wry smile and said, "This is a submission sent by Chen Dan from the Smelting Bureau."
It has to be said that the report sent by Chen Dan, the director of the Metallurgical and Manufacturing Bureau, is very crucial. In the article, he pointed out a very acute issue.
Zhao Hongrun had a very deep impression of Chen Dan. This man was honest and arrogant, but very reliable. He was a typical pragmatic official, completely different from Wang Fu, the director of the Metallurgical and Construction Department, who was so versatile.
Therefore, Zhao Hongrun asked Chen Dan to be responsible for the governor's construction of the four official roads. After all, the construction of Bolangsha River Port had already formed a pattern, and there was no need for a capable official like Chen Dan to keep an eye on it all the time.
After taking over the major project of supervising the construction of four official roads, Chen Dan immediately submitted a submission and raised a very acute issue in Zhao Hongrun's plan: iron consumption.
After all, according to Zhao Hongrun's original plan, the two straight tracks of the track carriage were to be made of iron, because in Zhao Hongrun's opinion, the rails were stronger and more reliable than wooden rails.
However, Chen Dan calculated for Zhao Hongrun the iron consumption required to build four tracks in his submission. The amount could roughly arm an army of about 200,000 people.
So Zhao Hongrun was confused because the carriage track he had designed before, even if it was a two-way track, only needed four rails, so he took it for granted that the iron consumption problem was acceptable.
Unexpectedly, Chen Dan made Zhao Hongrun understand through clear calculations that the use of iron as the material for the so-called track was a cost that the Wei State could not afford—to be precise, it was not that it could not afford it, but that it was not worth it.
After all, the iron used to build four tracks could be used to arm 200,000 Wei troops. I believe even Zhao Hongrun would choose the latter.
