Chapter 1085 busy
The Mid-Autumn Festival is about to be held, so Yejujube is busy.
Hongxin lived in Biyue Tower for three days before returning to Zaoyuan.
The Fourth Master wanted to tighten the strings for the prince and the prince's nephew, and those who returned to the house entered the palace early.
No one dares to slack off, and they all act like they need to study hard, wishing they could fall in love with books for the rest of their lives.
So, Hongxin didn't want to go by himself.
I had to go to class well.
"If the banquet is placed in the Qingyanli of Jiuzhou, it will be big enough. The male guests can sit down. But this time it is particularly grand. Will it be separated like before? Or will it be together? If it is together, I am afraid that Qingyanli of Jiuzhou will not be enough."
This time, the civil and military officials of the court, and the royal family members were coming, and it was difficult to squeeze together.
The main reason is that there are foreigners, so you can't tell them to look bad, right?
Concubine Jin hesitated.
"I told the emperor yesterday that the emperor means to put it on the Yaotai of Pengdao. There is enough there." Ye Zao smiled: "Since we are entertaining foreigners, we have to follow the rules of foreigners. There is no habit of women not being able to see foreigners. This habit is a bad habit for thousands of years. People don't care about this, it's just the sour and corrupt thoughts of the Han people. I don't agree with it."
"Yes, the Empress said very well." Concubine Jin hurriedly responded.
Ye Zao smiled, thinking about where she was young, and the woman's status was even lower.
"Just make a decision. Let's go back and see what to do. At that time, the eldest princess will come back, so don't be too slow to be with her. After getting married, it will be the first time to go back to her parents' home." Ye Zao said.
"Yes, the Empress is really a kind-hearted person." Jin Fei praised.
Ye Zao just smiled, otherwise?
Although Li promised to be incompatible with her, she would not make things difficult for a girl.
The eldest princess did nothing.
"At that time, Prince Zhi will return to Beijing, and he will also take good care of the Grand Marshal. They will be rewarded."
"Yes." Concubine Jin hurriedly responded.
"However, of course, there are people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Just take care of your female family members. At that time, we will discuss with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I don't know if the Eighth Uncle will return to Beijing. I think this year, the Emperor wants to have some fun."
"I guess I'm going to come back. Now the eighth uncle also has two children in his family. The eldest son was born by the concubine, and the second son was born by the princess." Concubine Jin said.
Ye Zao nodded and thought to himself, this is indeed not history.
The eighth master in history has only one son from beginning to end.
And he was born as a concubine. The Eighth Master also had a daughter, but he died early and there was no record of history.
Now, the Eighth Master is still young and has not been incompatible with the Fourth Master. And he still has to be valued by the Fourth Master. He has two more sons.
Ye Zao suddenly felt that it was pretty good.
No matter how their brothers broke the throne, they had to bear the consequences by the crown prince alone.
I felt sorry for him, and the other dozen brothers were all fine.
It's much better than the blood flowing in real history?
"Empress?" Seeing that the imperial concubine was in a daze, Concubine Jin shouted.
"Hmm? What's wrong? I'm distracted."
"Oh, I want to ask if I need to go to the Empress Dowager and say it?" This time, it was a big deal after all.
"No need to do it now. When I see the emperor, I will ask again and again." Ye Zao stood up: "Okay, let's not talk anymore. The sun is setting, it's not that hot now. Let's go out for a walk. The rose is just right."
Ye Zao stood up, went down Biyue Tower with Jin Fei, and walked outside.
The Old Summer Palace in July is indeed beautiful everywhere. Two people walk to enjoy the scenery.
"Master, the emperor is here." Soon, the little pavilion caught up with Ye Zao.
"It's so early today?" Ye Zao was surprised: "Why would you like to invite the emperor to come here? The scenery here is beautiful." Ye Zao said.
"Then the queen, let's go back first." Concubine Jin said hurriedly.
Ye Zao didn't mind her being there, but she was free to leave.
Then he waved his hand and let her go.
On this end, Xiaotingzi went back to invite the emperor.
Ye Zao sat under the rose bushes and asked someone to put on tea.
When the Fourth Master came, he smiled from afar: "Look at your noble master, how can you enjoy it?"
Su Peisheng hurriedly said, "Your master is also busy, and the things in the harem are all complicated. There is also the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"You will speak for your master." The Fourth Master smiled. Obviously he was satisfied with this.
Ye Zao stood up: "The emperor is lucky."
"How long have you been here?" The Fourth Master waved his hand with a smile.
"I just came here and after talking to Concubine Jin, I just went out for a walk. The Emperor of Labor is the one who is ignorant." Ye Zao looked at the Fourth Master with a smile.
The Fourth Master did not respond: "Su Peisheng, let me show you the things."
Su Peisheng stepped forward and placed the box in his hand on the stone table: "You are here to see, your master."
When the Yeju opened, I saw three things inside, a pocket watch with a golden shell. The carved patterns on the top were not very common.
And a ruby... brooch.
And a telescope made of gold.
Ye Zao picked up the pocket watch and asked with a smile: "Is this brought back by the merchant ship? It's exquisite. It's better to have this, it's more convenient to see the time. Is there a clock?"
"Yes, I have set up one for you, and there is one in the palace. There is one in Hongxin." The Fourth Master smiled and said, "There are a few things that are very useful."
"However, there are some rouge and water powder used by the noble women on their side. I look... not as good as the palace daughters. I won't give you it. Just go back and give it a reward."
The Fourth Master really looks down on those rough guys.
Ye Zao nodded with a smile: "Western countries are not all good things, so there are naturally many that are inferior to us. But we can't underestimate them. Let's talk about Great Britain. He has ruled so many small countries, so his combat power cannot be underestimated." Ye Zao said.
The Fourth Master looked at her meaningfully: "I have inherited my teachings."
"Just laugh at me, do I dare?" Ye Zao gave the Fourth Master a blank look.
"I'm not surprised about anything else, but this time they brought back a lot of seeds that we don't have here. I don't know what it will be planted, so I'll try it next year." The Fourth Master said.
"There are still many exquisite things that can be used in the folk."
"It's good to have gains. At least, we are very fond of things from the ancient Eastern world." Ye Zao smiled: "By the way, Westerners are not bad at this shipbuilding technology. It's good to ask them to bring back a few masters next time to go to sea. We also teach our masters to build ships well. If warships cannot sail far away, it will be bad for merchant ships to be bullied in the future."
The Qing Dynasty today is still a prosperous era.
Although the world does not know the mysterious East, it does not dare to bully it rashly.
But if we follow history, then... just over two hundred years later, all this changed.
