Chapter 30 Chapter 30
Of course, Shen Yu trusted the craftsmanship of the carpenter hired by the Chu Palace.However, as a designer, he is also looking forward to the final effect, and he will take a look when he finds the opportunity.
Shen Mu has been arresting him recently and has strict control over his schedule.Shen Yu excused his birthday to visit his grandfather, so Shen Mu reluctantly nodded.
When Shen Yu went out in the morning, in addition to eating poached eggs and dried noodles, her mother forcibly tied a red belt on the outside of her Confucian shirt.When I arrived at the academy, I had to be laughed at by Guo Yi.
"What's the happy event for Bojin today? Do you want me to ask someone to pick up a load of sugar cakes and send them to the house?"
Shen Yu's earlobes were red, but her expression was as if nothing had happened, and she retorted calmly: "Since Youzhi is so leisurely, it seems that he hasn't been urged by Lingmei to buy things recently? Yue Niang is still talking to me, Lingmei often asks She talked about how reliable her brother is, and he can even buy fashionable rouge and gouache, which is really admirable."
According to Shen Yue's description, Guo Yi was tightly controlled by this younger sister.It was not the first time that Guo Xin sent his elder brother to go shopping, but it was really hard for Guo Yi, a cheeky primary school student, to visit the rouge shop.
Guo Yi was choked up, and when he thought that the other party would sue Guo Xin through Shen Yue, he immediately became honest, and instead begged for mercy in a low-key manner: "Bo Jin, brother Bo Jin, I shouldn't make fun of you, you The adults don’t remember the faults of the villains, please forgive me.”
Shen Yu blushed a little at what he said, lowered her eyes and said, "Sit down, I will punish you again when my husband sees it."
Guo Yi nervously brushed his body and sat up straight. He followed the post honestly and didn't dare to be presumptuous until after school.
After school, Shen Yu first went to the Song Mansion to visit her grandfather.
Song Cangshan returned to his post after his physical recovery, and was still working as Yuanwailang in the Ministry of Rites.When Shen Yu went, he hadn't been on duty yet, and Song Zitao was also on duty, so Shen Yu only said a few words to Song Hong, left the gift he brought, and then turned around and went out to the carpenter there.
What he didn't expect was that not only Steward Zhao was there, but King Chu was also there.
"This king also wants to see how effective this thing is." Wu Muhao explained.
When the carpenter saw that he was able to invite the prince to visit him, he was too excited to speak, so he could only tremblingly show them the finished product——
Similar to Shen Yu's manuscript, the finished product is indeed similar to a small boat, only the head and tail are tilted up, and there is a place for people to sit on the back. The legs can be placed outside on both sides of the "side", and a special small compartment is designed for fixed placement at the head and tail. seedling.
The difference from the manuscripts is that the wood is naturally of the highest quality. It is polished and cool, and has been oiled. It looks bright and colorful, and the tentacles are smooth. furniture.
Shen Yu checked it carefully, and found that it was the same as his design, and added many exquisite designs, such as the place for the legs, fixed snap buttons and so on.He nodded, and Wu Muhao also said, "It's hard for you to make such a delicate painting just by following a picture."
The carpenter smiled.
Wu Muhao said to Shen Yu again: "Since you invented it, you come to give it a formal name, and if others mention it in the future, it will also have a name."
Shen Yu was a little embarrassed, and simply followed the initial idea, and took the most straightforward meaning: "Let's call it Yangzhou, which is also easy for farmers to understand."
"Since this thing is used for plowing fields, it is misleading to call it a boat. In my opinion, it is better to change the word and change it to Yangma." Wu Muhao thought for a while, "What do you think?"
The money was all from the King of Chu, so Shen Yu said nothing else, she just nodded and named it Yangma.
The king of Chu looked at the things, finished speaking, and didn't want to stay longer, so he signaled the housekeeper to go forward and go out by himself.Steward Zhao said to the carpenter: "The work is well done, and you are indispensable for the reward, but the specific effect has to be brought back to the Zhuangzi for inspection."
The carpenter nodded and bowed, "That's nature, that's nature."
"It's just that this blueprint cannot be passed on casually." Steward Zhao looked at Shen Yu again, and warned the carpenter with a louder voice. "If you sell it to others casually, you know what will happen if you offend Chu Palace."
Shen Yu interjected: "My lord is kind, I will definitely promote it, but the effect has not been confirmed yet, so it is not easy to spread it to the outside world."
The two of them made a bad face and the other sang a bad face, forcing the carpenter to shake his head again and again, and swore that without the permission of the prince, they would never spread it to the outside world.
After speaking, Shen Yu also followed King Chu out.
King Chu was standing next to the carriage, and when he saw Shen Yu coming out, he just raised his eyes slightly.Shen Yu was the first to say: "My lord, next time I will try transplanting rice seedlings in the farmland, can I hand it over to you?"
Wu Muhao raised his eyebrows in surprise. "You don't want to go and see for yourself?"
See for yourself...of course you want to.But everything has to be prioritized.Shen Yu shook her head, "Students should end next spring."
"That's true, then you can study at ease." Wu Muhao replied.Anyway, to try it out at the farm is nothing more than an order to him, and waiting for the result is not a big deal.
Shen Yu plucked up her courage, and said, "If it is suitable, can you dedicate it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
The king of Chu is the prince's companion, so it is easier to talk to each other.It is more justifiable for Chu Jun to promote it.
This time Wu Muhao calmly agreed. "Okay, in your sympathy, I will help you with this matter."
Shen Yu also breathed a sigh of relief.He did intend to give this credit to the king of Chu.Caring about farming and making farm tools are considered political achievements for the king of Chu or the prince, but for him, a scholar who has not yet finished, he will probably end up with a bad reputation of "abandoning his studies".Grandpa's worries were not without reason.
"Today is your birthday?" Wu Muhao's eyes paused slightly on Shen Yu's red belt, then moved away, smiling as usual.
"Yes." Shen Yu was a little shy, but replied generously, "Today, the student turns [-] years old. This is the department of Jiaci. The prince laughed."
The King of Chu was silent for a while, then sighed softly, "It's really fast."
"Is there something on your mind?" Shen Yu asked.He had only known the King of Chu for a month or two, so these words were obviously not meant for him.He couldn't help observing his words and expressions, and he had already relaxed a lot in front of the King of Chu.
It's not that there is nothing that can't be said, Wu Muhao replied frankly: "It's nothing. Today, His Majesty's quasi-prince played a group of court ladies who are old enough to leave the palace. After witnessing this, I cannot help feeling a little bit emotional."
There were some vague thoughts in Shen Yu's mind. Just as he was about to say something, Wu Muhao stretched his brows and asked, "Since today is your birthday, what do you want?"
Shen Yu had expected to answer the question here, "I have bothered the prince for a long time, and I dare not ask him to ask for it." After hearing the last sentence, the answer that came to her lips became: "But there is something I want to ask. The student wants to hire a female husband for her sister, can I ask the prince to give me some advice?"
Yue Niang studied with her father and brothers, she was not bad in knowledge, the main things she needed to teach were etiquette and manners, and the maids from the palace were the best candidates.
Although she didn't intend to send Yueniang into the palace, all girls of the right age have to go through the draft, and Shen Yu still hopes that her sister can have a good reputation.
"What's the difficulty?" Wu Muhao said confidently.
The number of these palace ladies who go out of the palace is limited, and there are generous rewards in the palace. Whether it is to recruit a son-in-law to establish a family or to marry someone else to make a sequel, it is very easy.High-ranking officials, especially those who intend to send their daughters to the palace, will prepare generous gifts and rush to invite them to their homes.
However, for others, this is a matter of money and effort that may not be done well, but it is really not difficult for the King of Chu.
Of course, there were also palace ladies who had followed him all the way from the north, but there were many more, who were originally from the Chu Palace, and those who had grown up with him. It was only a matter of a word to invite him, and he didn't even need to come forward in person.
He immediately explained a few words to Butler Zhao, butler Zhao nodded repeatedly, Wu Muhao said apologetically, "Let Lao Zhao tell you, I still have some things to do, so I can't accompany you."
Shen Yu couldn't stay out for too long, so he quickly thanked him.King Chu nodded, boarded the carriage and left.
"The old slave would take the liberty to ask, how old is your younger sister, has she ever read a book? What kind of female husband do you want?"
Shen Yu answered one by one.Butler Zhao cleared his hoarse throat, "I know, Mr. Shen, please wait for the good news." After saying that, he hired a carriage and asked someone to take Shen Yu home without mentioning it.
Wu Junyi is writing Fufu.
Every New Year, the palace always bestows a lot of "blessing" characters to the ministers, some are written by the emperor himself, and some are handed over to the prince.This is a boring, but highly symbolic job.However, Wu Junyi wrote with trepidation and meticulousness, even Li Qi, who was serving the book, was scolded by him to the door.
"Let me write a few for you. When you write like this, those old gentlemen may not be able to tell the difference." Chu Wang went out to practice archery, came back to change his clothes, and admired the calligraphy and paintings hanging in the Wenhua Palace. I went to Wenyuan Pavilion to pick up the book and read halfway through it. Seeing that the stack of papers on Wu Junyi's desk was still not much less, I finally couldn't help but make a sound.
The pen in Wu Junyi's hand stopped, but he didn't look up, as if he was thinking.
"Or is Your Highness worried that I can't imitate your handwriting?" Wu Muhao thought he was worried, so he broke the deadlock jokingly.
"Uncle Wang." Wu Junyi finally put down his pen, but he still didn't look up, and his tone was a little strange.He said leisurely: "This is bestowed by the emperor to all the officials."
Wu Muhao's mind went blank for an instant, and the clothes on his back were immediately wet.
He suddenly regretted his talkativeness.
He lost his temper.Wu Muhao was originally a 15-year-old boy, and his deep thoughts were limited.Getting along day and night for nearly a year made him begin to forget the identity of the peer around him.He is the prince, and he is the prince. There is a natural gap between their identities, which cannot be overcome by the so-called blood connection or friendship that has read a few books together.
"I'm rude, Your Highness, please forgive me." Wu Muhao jumped up from the chair, knelt down in front of Wu Junyi with a bang, and kowtowed deeply.
"Uncle Wang, get up quickly, it doesn't have to be like this." Wu Junyi got up to help him. "Uncle Wang is also kind, and he understands it in his heart."
Wu Junyi looked concerned, and Wu Muhao's smile was a little weak.
"If Uncle Wang stays in the Wenhua Palace and has nothing to do, he can go back to the mansion first. The gentlemen on the left and right are not here anymore. You can rest for a few days and wait for the father to summon you before entering the palace." Wu Junyi's words seem to be full of concern .
Wu Muhao broke away from his hand, still bowing his body to salute. "Thank you, Your Highness, I will take my leave."
Wu Junyi picked up the pen, but didn't continue to write. Instead, he saw the king of Chu bowing and stepping back out of the palace through the window until his figure gradually disappeared.
His father had told him since he was a child that he was the prince of Daqi, the most honorable person in the world besides his father and brother.Later, he became the prince, and even the crown prince, the future lord of the world.
He was taught not to trust anyone.
Getting along with the king of Chu is easy and pleasant, and the king of Chu is extremely intelligent and often has sharp insights.
However, happiness and intimacy are conditional. Suspicion spares no effort to get out of all the gaps. Under the illusion of trust, Wu Junyi silently asks questions again and again:
Does King Chu really think so?Will the King of Chu be loyal to him?
Peeling off the illusion, the truth is dripping with blood.
