Outside Zhengyang Gate in the south of the city, inside Zhang Zhou's workshop.
Zhang Zhou was wearing loose work clothes and heavy gloves on his hands. He was directing the workers to work, while Xiao Jing put on a makeshift apron. He had to come in to help, but when Xiao Jing looked at Inside was the place where the glass was being burned, and the red water in the glass seemed to burn his hands off in an instant, so he didn't dare to ask for any help.
"Eunuch Xiao, when I finish this work, I will follow you into the palace."
Xiao Jing came to Zhang Zhou to inform Zhang Zhou of entering the palace.
In the coming days, Zhang Zhou will be assigned to the Hanlin Academy as a historian and compiler. One day in advance, Zhang Zhou will have to finalize the plate glass in advance.
This is not only to facilitate the subsequent batch manufacturing of glass mirrors, but also to manufacture a batch of window glass for the palace. This is what Zhang Zhou mentioned to Zhu Youtang, and Zhu Youtang pointed out what he wanted to purchase.
Whether a new item is good or not depends on whether it is qualified to be used as a tribute. Anyway, Zhu Youtang and his son are also very interested in Zhang Zhou's inventions, and they basically get all new items first. Show it to them, and it will be used in the palace first.
As the large iron plates are put together, the glass water is brought out by pulling in the form of a sandwich, and then quickly cooled with cold water.
This is how a whole piece of glass is made.
Although the defective rate is still very high, it can basically meet the needs of mass production of glass.
Modularization still needs to be improved. After Zhang Zhou saw it, he was not very satisfied with the accuracy of the iron plate. When the commander finished building several pieces of glass, he no longer cared about these semi-finished products that had not been completely cooled. , instead took Xiao Jing to the warehouse next door.
"Mr. Zhang, are you using this thing as a window?" Xiao Jing just heard about it.
But he was still not sure.
In the past, colored glaze was mostly regarded as gemstones or handicrafts. Xiao Jing still didn’t understand why Zhang Zhou fired it in large quantities to replace window paper.
Zhang Zhou nodded, "Obviously ordinary people can't afford it, but for the imperial palace, you need to use some good things. The windows are bright and clean. Will your majesty and the prince feel better when they are dealing with court affairs and studying? "
"You are really loyal to the emperor."
Xiao Jing didn't know how to praise Zhang Zhou.
I won’t say that you are sending all the good stuff to the palace because you want to get funds to continue your weird research. Anyway, His Majesty and the Prince like it, so you can just watch it.
Zhang Zhou took Xiao Jing to visit the window frame that had been formed. The glass had been bound on it, because it was ordered by the palace. In terms of pattern carving and other aspects, it was not just ordinary wooden frames that were spliced together casually. Yes, the glass is directly sandwiched between the two window edges without nails for reinforcement.
"This is the finished product."
Zhang Zhou asked two workers to hold up a window leaf and show it to Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing went over to touch it and asked, "This will prevent ventilation"
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "There will still be wind coming through the gaps in the glass, but it's much better than ordinary paper windows. More importantly, more light can penetrate into the house."
"Yes, it is. "Xiao Jing liked it very much.
After having Xiao Jing’s status, he also knew how to pursue some high-quality life.
Xiao Jing was also thinking about it at this time.
I didn’t expect it to sound unreliable, but it looks so exquisite. After the palace is replaced, I should also buy a set from Mr. Zhang to make the windows brighter and cleaner.
The weather that day was very good, the sun was shining brightly, it was late March of the lunar calendar, and the temperature was getting warmer. It was the time when flowers were blooming in spring, and it was also a suitable time to visit the garden and enjoy the flowers.
The Royal Palace.
Inside the Palace Garden.
Zhu Youtang and his family were enjoying the spring scenery in their imperial garden. The stone table and benches were too cold, so the eunuch had already moved a large table over. Not only Zhu Youtang and Queen Zhang were there, but also Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Xiurong's two children were also there.
Just when the family was enjoying the spring scenery.
Zhang Zhou is "working".
To be precise, he was looking at the feng shui of the imperial palace. Even though he told the emperor many times that he did not understand this, the emperor just wanted peace of mind and insisted on letting him go everywhere to see if anything was wrong. , which also made the palace nervous for a long time.
Everyone was afraid that Zhang Zhou would see something bad, so Xiao Jing, Yang Peng and others all said hello to Zhang Zhou, saying that if they saw a dirty corner somewhere, just look for it. Mention it to them and they will ask someone to rectify it.
In the end, Zhang Zhou just walked around the palace garden and returned to Zhu Youtang.
"Bingkuan, how about it?" Zhu Youtang raised his head and looked at Zhang Zhou with a smile.
Zhang Zhou raised his hand and was about to reply when Zhu Youtang raised his hand and said, "Sit down and talk."
Zhang Zhou looked back at the family of four across the table.
Empress Zhang was staring at him with a cold and calm gaze, while brother and sister Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Xiurong were fighting over milk tea, "Yours has been spilled, don't touch mine."
"Very good."
Zhang Zhou then sat down.
Just kidding.
Let him judge whether the feng shui of the Ming Dynasty Palace is good or bad
To talk about what this palace may bring to the Ming Dynasty, the most important thing is probably you, the emperor, six years from now Go ahead and burp.
Zhang Zhou had long thought that he should not tell the emperor about this matter. It is said that Zhu Youtang's death was a medical accident, but the specific cause is not known until now, and he existence, perhaps Zhu Youtang's disaster will come sooner or later, because the butterfly effect produced by the people around him is the largest, and Zhu Youtang is also one of them.
Zhu Youtang's body is much better now than in history, as Zhang Zhou discovered.
"Stop arguing." Zhu Youtang was about to say something to Zhang Zhou when he realized that his son was not acting like an older brother again.He glared at his son, picked up his own milk tea, and asked the eunuch to pass it to Zhu Xiurong, "I have drank it. Prince, sit down and listen to Mr. Zhang."
"It's her."< /p>
Zhu Houzhao originally wanted to argue, but when he saw that his father and Zhang Zhou looked at him with stern looks, he responded without answering.
"Cock-clack"
Zhu Xiurong was like a little hen again, enjoying the milk tea given to her by her father.
Zhu Youtang said, "Bingkuan, I have been feeling restless recently. Do you know why there is something unclean lingering around the palace?"
When The emperor is probably afraid of death.
Zhang Zhou could still think so. As an emperor, he felt that many innocent souls might find their way to the palace. After all, the palace guards could only stop living people, but they could not prevent the evil souls from approaching. In addition, Zhu Youtang himself He just believes in those mysterious things, and his mental illness easily makes him suspicious.
"Your Majesty, it's okay." Zhang Zhou said, "The feng shui of the palace is elegant and upright, how can there be evil spirits?"
Queen Zhang also said, "Your Majesty is overly concerned. It seems that Mr. Zhang is the one who said it." "It's clear."
"Yes, I was overthinking it."
Zhu Youtang smiled, as if he was relieved.
Zhang Zhou looked at Queen Zhang.
Today she also changed her gender and used the method of showing good will to form an alliance with him
Zhang Zhou was also thinking, no matter what your attitude is towards me, or your relationship with the emperor. What's the relationship like? I know history and know that Ming Dynasty is broken in this line. I can't just let the emperor marry you. It's still okay to have concubines and so on. Let me wait until Zhu Houzhao's period to do these things. The women around that boy have never been If you are not pregnant, who knows if he is a born mule
It is easier to attack your husband than your son.
Zhu Youtang smiled and waved at Zhang Zhou and said, "Bingkuan, let me show you something good."
Zhang Zhou cast his gaze over.
Then Zhu Youtang asked the eunuch to bring over a wooden box. After opening it, there was a jade handle inside. Zhu Youtang took it in his hand and showed it to Zhang Zhou: "The jade tribute from Turpan, It is carved by a skilled craftsman, what do you think?"
Zhang Zhou took it over and took a look.
He said in his heart, I am familiar with this thing.
The "Sapphire Peach Blossoms and Mountains" placed in the Palace Museum in later generations is actually here. If this thing can be passed down as a family heirloom
Zhang Zhouzheng was thinking, Zhu You Zang said, "It's useless for me to bring it, so I'll give it to you."
"Your Majesty, I can't accept it." Zhang Zhouxin said, just give me something ordinary. I don't dare to accept this thing.
The main reason is that I can’t sell it for money if I take it back, and it’s not easy for me to keep such things at home. For me, a time traveler, anything that can’t be cashed out and turned into something that changes the times is just flashy.
Zhu Youtang said, "You come into the palace today and you have nothing to give."What's yours, consider it your reward. Tomorrow you will enter the Hanlin Academy. Someone will make arrangements for you to enter the palace and give lectures. This is also considered as my congratulations on your winning the first prize and becoming the disciple of the prince. There is no need to refuse. "
Then Zhu Youtang almost forced the thing into Zhang Zhou's hand.
Dai Yi next to him smiled and reminded, "Mr. Zhang, don't you seem to like it? "
Zhang Zhou said, "Your Majesty, in fact, I am just a common man. Gold, silver and jewelry are acceptable, but this thing"
"Bingkuan, you want gold, silver and jewelry, I haven't got it yet. As for Dharma's reward, the entire court also needs gold and silver. "Zhu Youtang said with a smile, "If you really feel that this thing is out of your hands, sell it and see how much gold, silver and jewelry it gets. ”
Zhang Zhou smiled bitterly, “How can I not know the taste?”
Even if the emperor says that you can cash in the things given by the emperor, the minister must also know the taste.
p>
Zhu Youtang looked at his wife and children opposite and said, "It doesn't matter, we are all one family. This kind of reward will be given in the future. Prince, I will give your husband some training. You must study hard in the future. "
Zhu Houzhao muttered, "I don't have any good things myself, so why should I give them to him and not encourage me to study hard?"
"Louder"
p>Zhu Youtang thought his son was expressing his position, but his voice was too low to hear.
Zhu Houzhao then said loudly, "I know"
He was still impatient. .
In the capital, Cheng Guogong’s official residence
In the backyard, Ning Tong was already packing up her belongings. After she got the divorce letter from her husband, he I was going to wait for my husband to come back and officially move out of the Zhu family. From now on, I would have nothing to do with the Zhu family.
"Miss, this is bad, something serious has happened."
The little maid ran in anxiously. , when he was crossing the threshold, he was so excited that he almost fell down. After a few stumbles, he held on to the pillar before standing still.
Ning Tong said with an indifferent expression, "Whether things are good or not in this family has nothing to do with it. I have nothing to do with it. "
The little maid said anxiously, "It's not this, it's Mrs. Cheng Guotai. She has already arrived in the capital. I heard that our master also came with her."
"What father?" ”
Ning Tong has firmly believed in her reconciliation with Zhu Feng.
And she feels that although her father Ning Zhen was born in a military household, he later became a tribute student. Having served as a county magistrate, he is considered a civil official, so he will not be controlled by the Duke of Chengguo.
But Ning Tong now feels that his uncle, and the Ning family forces behind him, still have military positions, so he needs more Relying on the Chengguo Palace, if you reconcile, it may affect the fate of the entire family.
"Miss, it seems that the Grand Duke has also been called over by the Madam. If you ask about this matter, will it be possible? Let the slaves suffer too."
The words of the little maid made Ning Tong roll her eyes.
You are crying and telling me so much about your feelings, not because of your young lady.
That’s why.Are you worried about your own fate?
Ning Tong said angrily, "You will definitely suffer. I will sell you to a brothel and make you lonely for the rest of your life. Just wait."
" Miss, you still have the intention to scare this slave at this time."
The little maid probably also knows that although her own lady usually talks coldly to her, she is really reluctant to sell her.
"Even if it is sold, I will be sold together with the lady. I will be with the lady for the rest of my life," the maid said.
“Bah”
Ning Tong cursed.
She was already determined, but there seemed to be a crack in the egg when the shell was closed, making her feel uneasy.
There is a villa in the city, which is used by Chengguo Duke's mansion to house Zhu Hu, the wife of Chengguo.
Family members of the Duke of Chengguo can basically live in the official residence when they come to the capital, and can take care of both official and private affairs. However, if the old mother wants to support her, they must find a quiet place, so Zhu Hu After arriving in the capital, he did not live with his children and grandchildren.
"It's outrageous that she was allowed to enter the capital less than half a year ago, and she caused such a big trouble. What kind of status does she dare to mention and divorce?"
Zhu Hu was angry.
In front of her, there were three people standing. In addition to her eldest grandson Zhu Lin, there were two "outsiders", Ning Tong's father Ning Zhen, and Ning Tong's uncle, who is still doing it today. The commander of Jianyang Weidu was Ning Peng, who also knew Tongzhi.
What Zhu Hu said was actually to the Ning family.
Our Chengguo Palace married a girl from your Ning family, and now this girl dares to propose a divorce
It really brings shame to our Chengguo Palace. Are you, the Ning family, not going to hang out in the local area anymore?
Zhu Lin said, "Grandma, please calm down."
In fact, Zhu Lin understands his brother and his sister-in-law very well about this.
The elder brother could clearly see what was going on between the two of them, and the young man might be more open-minded. Zhu Lin didn't think what would happen if his younger brother and his sister-in-law reconciled.
Ning Peng glared at his younger brother and said, "Second brother, how did you teach your daughter?"
Compared to Ning Zhen, who once served as a county magistrate, now she no longer relies on the treatment of a military household. In order to survive, Ning Peng still had to work at the local health office, but he couldn't afford to offend the Zhu family, so he could only teach his younger brother a lesson, which probably meant asking his younger brother to discipline his daughter.
Ning Zhen also looked confused, and said helplessly, "I have no idea about this at all. Speaking of which, I haven't seen my little girl for many years."
Ning Tong was in Chengguo She was not happy in the palace, and she was married to Nanjing. Ning Tong also hated her family for ruining her marriage, so she basically cut off contact with her family. Occasionally she wrote letters saying no when she went back. Something that doesn't hurt.
In these days.
Originally, it is important to throw water away from married daughters. If the daughter goes home to visit at will, the neighbors will think that she was divorced by her husband. After a woman gets married, she will follow her husband until his death. Damn it, are you okay?I will go back to my parents’ home.
"Then why don't you go talk to your niece?"
Ning Peng was very anxious.
Zhu Hu said coldly, "My grandson Zhijie was not qualified to inherit the title of Duke before, but he was promoted to Anbian Bo due to his own ability. Now he has established a government and established an official, and people serve him." There must be no trouble in front of the army or at the rear of the house. Whoever makes me, the Duke of Chengguo, become the laughing stock of others, I, the Duke of Chengguo, will not let her have an easy time."
"Yes, Mrs. Madam, please calm down. This is a humble position. Let my brother persuade his niece that this kind of thing will never happen again."
Ning Peng almost patted his chest and said, I will take care of this matter.
Ning Tong’s reconciliation with Zhu Feng was directly blocked.
Zhu Hu took Zhu Lin directly to the official office with murderous intent. Before arriving, she sent someone to notify Ning Tong and asked her to kneel and wait at the door of the back hall.
Ning Tong is also stubborn.
There is no turning back when the bow is drawn.
Since she has decided to divorce her husband, she cannot give up because of someone’s dissuasion. As for the Ning family, she feels that the Ning family does not need a female descendant of their own to bear any responsibility.
Kneel down and ask her to admit her mistake and take it back, but she can't do it.
Zhu Hu arrived at the official residence.
I met the main relatives of Duke Chengguo in Beijing, and there were so many guests who came to curry favor with her, the matron of the family.
From the Chengguo Palace to Zhu Fu’s generation, the branches have dispersed.
In addition, the Chengguo Palace has recently been appreciated by the emperor, and Zhu Fu and Zhu Feng, father and son, have been entrusted with important tasks. Naturally, there are many people who come to curry favor.
Zhu Hu’s attitude towards Zhu Lin was not so pleasant after meeting the guests.
"How did you become the head of the family when your father and brother are not in Beijing?"
Previously, Mrs. Zhu Hu was too embarrassed to teach her eldest grandson a lesson in front of outsiders, but now she couldn't help it.
Zhu Lin said, "Grandma, don't be angry yet. You should know about Zhijie's situation, he"
"Let me tell you"
The old lady glared. With the eldest grandson.
No one else knows what kind of shit Zhu Zhijie looks like. How can a grandmother not know?
Zhu Lin sighed, "In the past two years, Zhijie has brought everyone back to the house. This time When they went to Liaodong, they went in and out together. This made the second sister-in-law very embarrassed. No one can blame her."
"Bang"
Zhu Hu slapped the table and said, "Even if she died in the country. In the palace, that is also her creation."
Zhu Lin originally wanted to say a few words for his siblings, but after hearing this, he stopped.
Who is the most incompetent person in the Zhu family now? He is the eldest grandson.
Let him go to war, he is incompetent; There was no movement; now that the old lady came to the capital, she actually blamed him for not bringing up the family tradition
My dear, does this have anything to do with me?
It offended him They all began to doubt life.
Just as he was talking, the old lady sent him to searchThe woman in Ningtong's room came back with a bundle of things in her hand, threw it on the ground and said, "Madam, I just checked and found these things in the bedroom of the Second Young Madam. There is also this booklet that belongs to Fengyue." "It's unsightly."
As he said that, someone from behind brought Ning Tong's little maid in and pinned her to the ground.
Ms. Zhu Hu took the book handed over by her mother-in-law, flipped through a few pages, became furious, threw the book to the ground, and said angrily, "Say, your wife, there are people outside and these." If she doesn’t explain where the book came from, we will drag her out and beat her to death or maim her.” Please remember to bookmark it.
