When Wang Jie just saw Zhu Ying enter the palace with a box, he had a vague premonition, and at this time, when he saw Zhu Ying standing up and presenting the box to the emperor, his eyes couldn't help but gradually become solemn, and the initial anger turned into surprise.

And the emperor didn't use Liu Feng to do it for him, he personally took the box from Zhu Ying, who came forward, and looked thoughtfully at the fourteen-ring text lock that had troubled countless people, and he couldn't help laughing: "If Emperor Taizu was like Zhang Shou back then, he chose fourteen words as the password, and it is estimated that even if Emperor Taizong started, a large group of people tried it word by word, and there was no result until now." ”

As he spoke, he quickly rotated the text lock according to the new password he had agreed with Zhang Shou, and when he heard a click, he easily opened the lid. Seeing that there was a book of music inside, and there was a piece of paper folded into a square under his head, but he was not in a hurry to open the paper, he picked up the music first, and looked at it unhurriedly.

However, after only scanning more than half of the content, the emperor couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "These boys are simply bold!" ”

After pit the eldest prince for 10,000 times, he still dares to tell him that he is a father? Of course, strictly speaking, it is not a pit, so that Wang Jie, the well-informed Shuntianfu Yin, can specially run in front of him to appeal, which shows that the textile machine really has its application value. It's almost six times faster than normal spinning...... How could his eldest son, who had always been low-eyed and low-handed, not be moved?

I'm afraid that the eldest prince will be so happy that he will get carried away with the thought that he can become the target of those rich businessmen and local nobles in Jiangnan, and he doesn't see the risks and interests behind it at all!

And the emperor continued to watch, and saw Zhang Shou listing the pros and cons, telling the consequences, clearly and clearly, that kind of careful thinking, that kind of detailed promotion plan, and he even had an indescribable jealousy when he looked at it. Where did Zhang Xiucai, who died young, get the luck to give birth to such an excellent son? Obviously born on the same day, the same month, the same year, if ......

Almost instantly, he cut off the dangerous thought, took a deep breath, and warned himself not to think crookedly. Whether it is Mingyue or Zhu Ying, they are all very good girls, no matter how good Zhang Shou is, it is also someone else's son...... However, in the end, Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying, a pair of beautiful people, are becoming more and more compatible, and this marriage is really approaching......

For this reason, the marriage of the eldest lang of the Zhu family and the second lang can no longer be delayed, even if there is a custom in many places to marry his sister first, but the queen mother has repeatedly mentioned to him that he has to help take a look......

The emperor's train of thought drifted for 108,000 miles, and when he came back to his senses again, he pretended not to see the focused eyes of Yin Wangjie of Shuntian Mansion staring at him, and continued to look down. After reading the full text, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and immediately put the music aside casually, and then unfolded the drawing below.

I saw that on this drawing, the new textile machine in Wang Jie's mouth was drawn in the center, and the surrounding was a schematic diagram of the decomposition of the parts, and the dense words next to each part explained the role in detail. Although he was confused about terms such as transmission and feed, he could still understand terms such as pedal hand cranking.

"It turned out to be a dual-purpose ...... It is also said that it can be used to take care of people with impaired legs and feet, or people with mobility problems with hand problems. Before, some people said that Zhang Qing had set up a private person in the Guozijian, ignoring the fact that he was an orphan, but I felt that he was the most compassionate to the orphans and the poor......" The emperor sighed meaninglessly, and then looked at Wang Jie.

"Wang Qing, come and see this thing."

Wang Jie didn't hesitate at all, he got up directly and stepped forward to take it. He quickly swept the pattern of the textile machine in the middle, and then intently examined the schematic diagram of the decomposition of the parts around him, and finally, having seen the new textile machines with his own eyes, he determined that this was the drawing of the textile machine, and it was so detailed that it seemed that he was afraid that others would not understand it, as long as the craftsman who passed the skill could make it.

He exhaled softly, and then returned the original drawings with both hands, and then took a step back and said deeply: "Your Majesty, the minister said quite excessive things in front of Dr. Zhang, and in front of the emperor, he also lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and the minister was willing to come to the door in person to apologize to him solemnly." Dr. Zhang's willingness to present such a multi-million gold drawing is really a high-spirited festival. ”

Hey? Zhu Ying, who was watching the excitement on the side, couldn't help but widen her eyes, and then jumped up suddenly: "Wang Dayin, what do you mean?" Ah Shou: This is for me to help him contribute drawings? ”

Seeing Zhu Ying staring at the box in his hand, the emperor couldn't help laughing: "What, Yingying, you still don't believe it?" Come on, his recital is for you, and you can see what he has to say! ”

"He said it earlier, he said it earlier, and I wouldn't be a villain!" Zhu Ying angrily stepped forward and snatched the song in the emperor's hand, and when she finished reading it quickly, her anger just now suddenly disappeared, replaced by a deep exclamation, "Ah Shou knows a lot!" In addition to coming up with the spinning machine, he thought so far ahead...... No wonder Grandpa Ge said that he was writing a very powerful new book! ”

Speaking of this, Miss Zhu's eyes rolled, and she suddenly came straight to Wang Jie with Zhang Shou's recital, and roughly stuffed it directly: "Hmph, now Kua Ashou is a gentleman, it's too late!" You've dealt with him so many times and you still don't believe him? Here you go, take a good look at what Ah Shou wrote, he thought of what you thought of, and he still thought of what you didn't expect! ”

Zhu Ying's proud tone, the emperor wanted to laugh when he heard it, however, Wang Jie did not laugh or get angry, but glanced at the emperor, and after getting the nod of the Son of Heaven, he took it with both hands and looked at it carefully. When he finished reading the full text, he couldn't help but sigh, and then first returned the song to the Son of Heaven, and then took Zhu Ying a deep sigh.

Although she was sneering and sneering at Wang Jie just now, when people really saluted and apologized like this, Zhu Ying was still stunned for a moment. Immediately after, she immediately moved to the side, and then said angrily: "You're not sorry for me, what are you doing to me?" However, you are selfless and selfless, and you always feel that others are harboring selfish intentions, which is simply unreasonable! ”

The more Miss Zhu spoke, the more justified she felt: "Besides, what's wrong with being selfish!" Since the idea is what Ah Shou thinks, and the things he instructs people to make, how he wants to do it, that is his freedom, is it possible that those people in the world who hide good skills and do not teach others, hide good books and do not teach others, and hide good knowledge and do not teach students, you have to find out? ”

"I don't read much, but I don't think it's right!"

Zhu Ying snorted and returned to her seat in high spirits: "As long as you don't have a traitor, as long as it's a good thing created by yourself, then you have the qualifications to enjoy this thing." If he is willing to share it with everyone, it will naturally be his high style and worthy of praise. If he doesn't want to, then he should pay the price to make him will. ”

She paused and raised her head: "Otherwise, if you make good things, you won't get praise, affirmation, or benefits." In the long run, who will put the effort into making something good? Have you been stoned in the head? With this kung fu, I don't know how to live a comfortable and good life? ”

The emperor saw that Wang Jie's eyes were deep and his face was not so good-looking because of Zhu Ying's words, so he sighed and said: "Wang Qing is the most public, but he can't demand that all people in the world have no selfishness. As Yingying said, whether it is innovating agricultural tools, innovating textile machinery, or even creating all kinds of other things, in the final analysis, it is for efficiency and profit. ”

"Zhang Shou is still a fair-minded person in the end. If he really planned to hide it, he wouldn't be so generous to let you go to the weaving and dyeing workshop of Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu's two boys, so that you could see the spinning machine. Your reputation for loving the people like a son is so great, would he not know that you can understand the mystery at a glance, and then hurry to me to report it? ”

Speaking of this, the emperor suddenly looked at Zhu Ying with a smile and asked, "Yingying, you tell me the truth, did Zhang Shou tell you a long time ago and let you help him send this box to me?" ”

"yes!" Zhu Ying deliberately glanced at Wang Jie and said proudly, "Ah Shou entrusted me before, so after coming out of the Shuntian Mansion, he asked me to accompany Wang Dayin to the weaving and dyeing workshop first, and he returned to the Guozijian to get this box." As soon as Wang Dayin left, he asked me to chase after him, and said that the dead beggar Bailai would also follow Wang Dayin to see the emperor and send this box! ”

The emperor suddenly smiled, and nodded Zhu Ying's nose with his fingers: "You girl, you haven't married yet, you are dedicated to Zhang Shou, is there still me in your eyes?" ”

"Where is there no emperor, I helped Ah Shou send a heavy gift worth millions of gold!" Zhu Ying retorted unconvinced.

"Pompous!"

Blame is blame, the emperor did not continue to argue with Zhu Ying about the theory, but said to Wang Jie: "Wang Qing, Zhang Shou recommended Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu to be responsible for promotion in the future, what do you think?" ”

If it was in the past, Wang Jie would never believe that a Houmen concubine who was ignorant of the world could lead such a thing, but now he has to believe it, not to mention, things are Zhang Shou's idea, and the weaving and dyeing workshop that was used for the first time was Zhang Wu and Zhang Lukai, if he forcibly refused, it would be too unkind. However, because of his usual upright temperament, he still spoke fairly.

"Although Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu are the candidates recommended by Dr. Zhang, they have no experience after all, and the stakes are very high, if they don't do well after they start doing it, then the minister can't take care of the face of Dr. Zhang and them as a horse and a guest of honor."

The emperor didn't care about Wang Jie's still harsh words, and when he saw that Zhu Ying pursed his lips without a ladylike attitude, he said angrily: "Yingying, don't be weird, what do you want to say?" ”

"I didn't want to say anything!" Zhu Ying's face was innocent, "I think Wang Dayin is right, those who can go up, if they can't, they can go down, all the things that Ah Shou can help have already helped them, if Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu can't do what Ah Shou fought for them, then honestly go and be their rich idlers!" If you give an opportunity but don't take it, who can blame you? ”

The emperor knew Zhu Ying's temper very well, so he was not surprised that she answered like this, but Wang Jie looked at this young lady with some surprise, and once again revised his previous evaluation of this daughter of Zhao Guogong in his heart.

"However, Yingying, Zhang Shou didn't take your second brother with you in this matter, don't you blame him?" The Emperor asked suddenly.

Zhu Ying smiled nonchalantly: "My second brother is the same as me, he doesn't know anything about farming and weaving, and he is far inferior to the two brothers of the Zhang family in terms of hardship, he is afraid that he will come back in a few days when he does this." Ah Shou was right not to call him, otherwise even his grandmother would have to be scared. If he wants to do it, he has to start with something less important. ”

"You, you, you, you are not afraid that your second brother will be extremely sad and indignant to say that you are a girl's foreign minister, and only help Zhang Shou and leave him, the second brother, aside." Seeing Zhu Yingyan's smile, the emperor didn't care at all, so he said thoughtfully, "Your second brother and Yongping Deyang, as well as Xinyang Ninghe, must not get along, so I didn't mess with the mandarin duck spectrum before, but today I have an idea." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Wang Jie with interest and said, "I heard that Wang Dayin just took your sister-in-law and nephews and nieces to Beijing?" This niece of yours is the daughter of your elder brother, who took care of her widow after losing her father, supported the housework, and urged her younger brother to pass the Xiucai examination. ”

When Wang Jie heard the emperor suddenly mention his niece, he suddenly became vigilant, especially when the emperor deliberately pointed out that his niece was flexible and strong, he realized what was going on. He wanted to block the emperor's next words immediately, but the emperor suddenly smiled.

"Wang Qing, I don't want to be a matchmaker easily, Zhu Erlang does seem to be impulsive and accomplish nothing, but his family education is very strict, although he can't say that he is wholeheartedly striving for progress, but he has realized the limit of his ability and knows the responsibility on his shoulders. In this regard, it is already better than many people. Of course, if you compare those Jinshi from poor backgrounds, he is indeed far behind. ”

The emperor pushed the handrail and stood up, and said calmly: "But you yourself have come up from the imperial examination, and you should know how difficult this single-plank bridge is." But where there is no marriage match in the title of the gold list, there are only a few people on each list, and many of them are the top three. At this time, there are many rich and noble families who catch sons-in-law under the list, although you are a high-ranking official, but with your personality, of course, you disdain to compete with others. ”

"As for Xiucai, lifting people, you should also know how low the probability of being admitted to the Jinshi is. What's more, if he likes the other party's success in studying and marries the girls in the family, he finds that his in-laws are not good, and even this poor son-in-law is not good, so that he turns against him, and there are even more of them. Zhu Erlang has at least one advantage, he has been used to being controlled since he was a child, and the Zhao Guogong Mansion also hopes to marry him a fierce wife. ”

Zhu Ying was finally amused by the emperor's tone as if the princess was selling melons and boasting about herself, and burst out laughing.

She immediately said seriously: "Wang Dayin, although the emperor's words are a bit exaggerated, but they are indeed inseparable, I dare to say that there are few better in-laws in the world than my Zhu family." Of course, if your niece is asking for a talent that is unparalleled in the world, a follower with unparalleled ability, and a clear stream with an unparalleled mouth, then the emperor has never said anything! ”

"What do you mean by a clear stream with a mouth cannon unparalleled?" The emperor finally couldn't help but laugh and scolded, "What are you doing with Qingliu?" This statement is definitely not what you came up with, it must be Zhang Shou! ”

"No, it's my own thoughts, Your Majesty, you don't want to rely on Ashou for everything!" Zhu Ying hurriedly defended her Ruyi Langjun, and even hurriedly stood up and saluted dignified and generously, "Ah Shou's matter is done, I should go back, Wang Dayin, you don't have to be reluctant, think about it slowly, my second brother is still young, and he is not in a hurry, after all, the twisted melon is not sweet!" ”
