The Mid-Autumn Festival is going to be a big event, and the leaf dates are busy.

Hongxin lived in Biyue Tower for three days and then returned to the algae garden.

The fourth master wants to tighten the strings for the prince and the imperial nephews, and those who return to the palace have entered the palace in advance.

No one dares to slack off, they all make a good appearance of reading, and they can't wait to love books for a lifetime.

So, Hongxin didn't want to go by himself.

I had to go to class properly.

"If the banquet is placed in Kyushu Qingyan at that time, it will be big enough. Men can sit down. It's just that this time it's extraordinarily grand, is it still separated from men and women as before? Or together? If you are together, I'm afraid that Kyushu Qingyan is still not enough. ”

This time, the Chinese martial arts of the DPRK and the clan relatives will come, and it is not good to squeeze into a ball.

Mainly, there are foreigners, you can't make them look bad, right?

Concubine Jin hesitated.

"I told the emperor yesterday, what the emperor meant, put it in Pengdao Yaotai. Enough is there there. Ye Zao smiled: "Since we are entertaining foreigners, we also have to keep up with the rules of foreigners." There is no habit that women can't see men. This habit has been a bad habit for thousands of years. The Manchu people didn't care about this originally, they were just the sour and rotten thoughts of the Han people. I disapprove of that. ”

"Yes, what the mother said is very true." Concubine Jin hurriedly responded.

Ye Zao smiled, thinking that where she lived a small life, the status of women was even lower.

"It's settled, let's go back and see what is arranged. When the time comes, the eldest princess will also come back, don't be slow to treat her. After getting married, he returned to his parents' home for the first time. Ye Zao said.

"Yes, Niangniang is really a kind-hearted person." Concubine Jin praised.

Ye Zao just smiled, otherwise?

Although Li promised not to get along with her, she would not embarrass a girl.

Princess Celestia didn't do anything.

"When the time comes, Prince Zhi will also return to Beijing, and he will have to take care of Dafujin, they have merit."

"Yes." Concubine Jin was busy.

"However, these are naturally arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and you and I are just taking care of the female dependents. When the time comes, we will discuss it with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I don't know if Uncle Eight will return to Beijing. I think this year, the emperor wants to have a good time. ”

"I guess I still have to come back, and now Uncle Eight also has two children in his family. The eldest son was born to Fu Jin, and the second son was born to Gege. Concubine Jin said.

Ye Zao nodded, thinking, this is really not history.

The eighth master in history can have a son from beginning to end.

and was born to a concubine. The eighth master also has a daughter, but she died early, and there is no record in history.

Today, the eighth master is still young, and he is not discordant with the fourth master. And it still has to be reused by the fourth master. He also had two sons.

Ye Zao suddenly felt that it was very good.

No matter how their brothers broke their heads for the throne back then, the first prince alone bore the consequences.

Pity him, and the rest of the dozen or so brothers are all fine.

It's better than the rivers of blood in real history, right?

"Mother?" Concubine Jin saw that the concubine was distracted and shouted.

"Huh? What's wrong? Distracted. ”

"Oh, the concubine wants to ask, do you need to go to the Queen Mother's to say something?" This time, after all, it's a big deal.

"There's no need for now, wait until I see the emperor, let's ask." Ye Zao got up: "Okay, let's not talk about it, the sun will go down this time, it's not so hot, let's go out for a walk, the roses are blooming just right." ”

Ye Zao got up, went down the Biyue Tower with Concubine Jin, and walked outside.

The Old Summer Palace in July is indeed beautiful everywhere. Two people walking is just enjoying the scenery.

"Master, the emperor is here." It didn't take long for the small pavilion to catch up with the leaf dates.

"So early today?" Ye Zao was surprised: "Then why don't you invite the emperor to come here?" It's a great view. Ye Zao said.

"Then the lady will be the emperor later, and the concubine will go back first." Concubine Jin said busily.

Ye Zao didn't mind that she was there, but she wanted to leave, and she was at will.

He waved his hand and let her go.

At this end, the small pavilion went back to invite the emperor.

Ye Zao sat under the rose bush and asked someone to put tea on the table.

When the fourth master came, he smiled from afar: "Look at your master, how much will you enjoy?" ”

Su Peisheng hurriedly said: "Your master is also busy, and the things in the harem are also complicated. There's also the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”

"You'll be able to speak for your master." The fourth master smiled. Obviously, I was satisfied with that.

Ye Zao got up: "The emperor is auspicious." ”

"How long have you been here?" The fourth master smiled and waved his hand.

"I just came, and after talking to Concubine Jin, I just came out for a walk. The Emperor of Labor is here. It's the concubine who is not sensible. Ye Zao looked at the fourth master with a smile.

The fourth master didn't answer: "Su Peisheng, give it to your master." ”

Su Peisheng stepped forward and put the box in his hand on the stone table: "Your master, you have a look." ”

Ye Zao opened it and saw that there were three things inside, a pocket watch with a gold shell. Carved patterns on the top are less common.

There is also a ruby ...... Brooch.

and a telescope made of gold.

Ye Zao picked up the pocket watch and asked with a smile: "This is brought back by a merchant ship?" It's exquisite. It's good to have this, it's more convenient to see the time. Is there a grandfather clock? ”

"Yes, I put one for you, and there is one in the palace. Hongxin also has one. The fourth master smiled: "There are a few things, which are very useful." ”

"However, there are also some rouge gouaches used by the noble women over there, I look at them...... It's not as good as the palace daughters. I didn't give it to you. Just go back and enjoy it. ”

The fourth master really doesn't look down on those rough goods.

Ye Zao smiled and nodded: "Western countries are not all good things, naturally there are many that are inferior to us." But they should not be underestimated. Let's just say that this Great Britain, he ruled so many small countries, this combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. Ye Zao said.

The fourth master looked at her meaningfully: "I have been taught." ”

"Just laugh at me, do I dare?" Ye Zao glanced at the fourth master.

"Otherwise, I'm not surprised, but this time they brought back a lot of seeds that we don't have here. I don't know what it will be, so I'll try it next year. The fourth master said.

"There are a lot of delicate gadgets, but they can be used in the folk."

"It's good to have a harvest. At the very least, our ancient oriental things, they like them very much. Ye Zao smiled: "By the way, this shipbuilding technology is not bad for Westerners." The next time they go to sea, it would be good for them to bring back a few masters. I also teach our masters to build ships well. If the warship can't sail far, it's not good for the merchant ship to be bullied in the future. ”

Today's Qing Dynasty is still prosperous.

Although the world does not understand the mysterious East, it does not dare to bully rashly.

But if you follow history...... Just over two hundred years later, that all has changed.

The Industrial Revolution began in the West, machines replaced manual labor, and everything developed rapidly.
