Prince Consort

Years later is Mrs. Xie's 55th birthday.

She didn't plan to make a big deal, she just planned to have a meal with her family.

The return of her husband was the best gift for her.

Xie Ze'an and Xie Dalang wrote 99 birthday characters for Mrs. Xie according to the original plan. Under Xu Juncheng's supervision, Xie Ze'an's characters were already considered to be readable.Xie Dalang was already diligent, but his handwriting was actually better than Xie Zean's.

Mrs. Xie felt relieved when she saw the handwriting of her eldest grandson.

Mrs. Xie took Xie Dalang's hand and said, "Your father didn't name you, but he wanted you to choose one you like. Now that you can read, why don't you think of a name on grandma's birthday."

Xie Dalang was silent for a moment, took out a pen and paper and wrote a word: Yu.

Xie Jiyu was stunned when he saw the word Yu, and quickly thought of two meanings: one is its original meaning, referring to the pen, if explained from this aspect, this may be the meaning of his Dalang's decision to use the pen instead of the mouth in the future ; Another meaning is worth thinking about, Yu, Xunye, who is his Dalang going to follow?

Xie Jiyu couldn't help looking at Xie Zean.

Xie Ze'an was a little inexplicable and looked back puzzled.

Although he read a lot of books under the urging of Xu Juncheng and Yao Dingyan, but in terms of "basic skills", he must be inferior to Xie Jiyu, so he didn't expect so many twists and turns.

Xie Ze'an leaned over to look at Xie Dalang's handwriting, and boasted, "Xie Yu, it's quite nice!"

With Xie Ze'an's approval, Xie Dalang pursed his lips into a smile.

The pronunciation of the word Yu is somewhat similar to Xie Jiyu's name, but Xie Dalang has chosen it, so why would Xie Jiyu pay attention to this?He smiled and said, "Then I'll edit a book tomorrow and ask your uncle to record the names of both of your brothers in the genealogy."

The family was about to use their chopsticks when they suddenly heard someone report: "Officer, Mr. Yao is here."

Xie Jiyu was taken aback, and looked at Xie Hui.

Xie Hui shook his wife's hand and said, "I'll wait for you in the house."

Mrs. Xie was a little sad, but she also knew that there was nothing she could do.The few of them "resurrected from the dead" are sensational enough, and there is Prince Gong involved in it, who knows what will happen after the news spreads?What's more, Mr. Yang, who rescued them, was not willing to let others know the existence of "Linjun", so everything had to be considered in the long run.

Xie Jiyu went to meet Yao Dingyan in person.

Yao Dingyan came with congratulatory gifts, and when he saw Xie Jiyu coming out, he said, "Ji Yu, I came here uninvited, you won't drive me away, will you?"

Xie Jiyu said: "Mr. Yao is here, and it's too late for me to welcome him. How can I drive him away?"

Yao Dingyan stepped forward to congratulate Mrs. Xie on her birthday.

Before Mrs. Xie could speak, another person came to report: "Mr. Xu Juncheng is here, and Mr. Qin Mingde and Mr. Qin."

Yao Dingyan said: "It seems that Ji Yu, if you want to keep a low profile, you can't."

Xie Jiyu was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "When I was in the Ministry of Industry during the day, I mentioned something to Mingde... He usually quarrels with me, but he regards me as a friend in his heart."

Yao Dingyan didn't think so.

Only Xie Jiyu would think so!

Last time, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of improving printing techniques to get closer to Xie Jiyu, but unexpectedly, Xie Jiyu went to the gunpowder workshop to retreat, and directly gave Qin Mingde that great opportunity.Qin Mingde returned home very diligently after that, probably to ask the old master Qin for advice?

What can Mr. Qin think?Old Grand Master Qin values ​​reputation the most. Last time, he set up a trick. Unless Old Grand Master Qin admits that he is narrow-minded and abandons the public because of personal interests, he will never obstruct the compilation of the "Dictionary".

Of course, Old Master Qin can only ask Qin Mingde to do his best to improve this printing technique, so that the Qin family can get a share of this good thing that will go down in history. Excited?

Xie Jiyu threw a person like Qin Mingde into the whole matter, and unexpectedly reconciled the conflicts between the two parties by accident, allowing them to have a common goal at once.

No matter whether Xie Jiyu did it on purpose or not, Yao Dingyan's interest in him is getting bigger and bigger!

Xie Jiyu didn't know what Yao Dingyan was thinking, so he went outside to welcome Xu Juncheng and Qin Mingde in.

Qin Mingde said: "I just talked with Mr. Xu about my aunt's birthday today, and Mr. Xu said he would come with me."

Xie Jiyu looked at Xu Juncheng and said, "Mr. Xu has a heart," he said before turning to Qin Mingde, "Mingde, you also have a heart."

The three of them were about to go in when the porter chased after him: "Officer, officer! The prince is here!"

The servants of the Xie Mansion seldom lose their composure. The main reason is that people like this came here one after another. No matter how stable they are on weekdays, they couldn't help being surprised, and they even secretly rejoiced: "Could it be that the officials are going to be promoted?"

Although everyone has gotten used to the cleanliness over the years, but they are people from the Xie family in Tongchuan. Who doesn't expect their officials to be ranked as public ministers and official residences?

Seeing that several famous people in the capital came to celebrate the old lady's birthday, they were very happy!

Xie Jiyu glanced at them and saw what they were thinking.

He, Xu Juncheng and the others turned to greet each other.

Zhao Chongzhao dressed very formally this time.

Mrs. Xie was the aunt of the former empress, so he should respect Mrs. Xie as "auntie", but Mrs. Xie rarely showed up these years, and he gradually forgot about this elder.Today, I mentioned "Sanlang's grandmother's birthday" with my sister, and my sister sent him to celebrate her birthday on her behalf.

Zhao Chongzhao hadn't seen Xie Ze'an for several days, thinking of Xie Ze'an's joy when picking melons and vegetables last time, he went to the greenhouse to sweep them up, and sent someone to Xie's mansion with a batch of vegetables and fruits.The normal congratulatory gifts are naturally indispensable, and they are all taken from his and Yan Ning's private treasury!

Zhao Chongzhao was happy to see Xie Jiyu.He likes this "cousin" because Xie Jiyu is much more interesting than his own uncle.

Zhao Chongzhao seldom shouted: "My cousin doesn't have to come out in person, I just go in by myself."

Xu Juncheng was slightly surprised when he heard Zhao Chongzhao's name.

Xie Jiyu kept a low profile on weekdays, and almost no one remembered that he had such a connection with the royal family.

Several people entered together, Zhao Chongzhao was the first to run forward, obediently called "Auntie Grandma", took out the gifts he brought one by one like a treasure, and specially wished Mrs. Xie a birthday on behalf of Princess Yanning.

Although Mrs. Xie didn't care about things these years, she still cared about Zhao Chongzhao. Seeing Zhao Chongzhao's admiration on his face seemed to be fake, she couldn't help but reached out and touched his head: "Sit down and have dinner together."

Zhao Chongzhao was not interested in the undercurrent between Xu Juncheng and the others, so he pulled a chair and squeezed between Xie Dalang and Xie Ze'an very politely.

Xie Dalang: "..."

Zhao Chongzhao talked to Xie Ze'an excitedly: "Sanlang, I picked a lot of your favorite dishes for you."

Xie Ze'an accepted Zhao Chongzhao's kindness unabashedly: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Zhao Chongzhao said: "I'm going to take a look at the seeds I planted last time. Several of them have sprouted. Would you like to take a look?"

Xie Ze'an said, "Of course. I have something related to this that I would like to discuss with Your Highness." He leaned over and whispered to Zhao Chongzhao.

Zhao Chongzhao said: "Really! Then I will definitely go and ask for it for you!"

Yao Dingyan asked: "What are you two discussing?"

Xie Ze'an replied obediently and cleverly: "It's nothing, nothing, just think about a little thing..."

Upon hearing "little thing", Xie Jiyu turned his head and stared at Xie Ze'an.

Xie Ze'an confessed with special regret: "Your Highness told me just now that it is difficult to eat fresh vegetables even in our house, and the common people have to live on pickled vegetables. How pitiful! Your Highness hopes that the people all over the world will be able to eat fresh vegetables in the winter." Fresh and juicy vegetables and fruits."

Zhao Chongzhao nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes!"

Xie Jiyu: "..."

What gadget can do this?

After Xu Juncheng heard this, he also joined the ranks of questioning: "Then Saburo, have you figured out a way?"

Xie Ze'an said: "It may be difficult for the people all over the world to eat it. We can think of a way to let the people in the capital eat it next year, and slowly find out a way to promote it in a few years!"

Qin Mingde snorted coldly: "It's simply whimsical."

Xie Ze'an nodded his head like garlic: "Yes, yes, it's really whimsical, Mr. Qin, let us find a way!"

Zhao Chongzhao understood, and together with Xie Zean looked at Qin Mingde expectantly.

Xie Dalang quickly joined the battle.

Being stared at by three pairs of expectant eyes, Qin Mingde had the feeling that he had been blackmailed!

Qin Mingde said: "...I never think of such an impossible thing."

Xie Ze'an said: "This is impossible. How can you not even dare to think about it when working in the Ministry of Industry? You must know how far your thinking is, and how far you can go. Practice will never be ahead of your ideas! You can't even think about it. Think about it, are you really qualified for the function of the Ministry of Industry?" He sighed, "I thought everyone in the Ministry of Industry was as powerful as Dad!"

Zhao Chongzhao responded: "That's right, my cousin is the best."

Qin Mingde's face was flushed red by the two of them singing together.What made him even more uncomfortable was that what this little bastard said sounded absolutely right!If he didn't even dare to think about it, how could he do so many things like Xie Jiyu that no one had done before?

Qin Mingde was aroused by them to fight: "Who said I dare not think?"

Xie Ze'an was about to continue to add fuel to the fire, but Xie Jiyu stopped him from continuing to mess around: "Enough, Mingde, you finish your work before talking to this kid, otherwise you will definitely have endless work."

Xie Ze'an shut his mouth instantly, with an innocent expression like I didn't say anything just now, don't wrong me.

Yao Dingyan smiled and looked at Xie Zean: "Sanlang, just tell me what you can do, maybe we can help."

Xie Ze'an categorically denied: "I can't do anything! Even a professional like Mr. Qin said it's impossible."

Xu Juncheng and Yao Dingyan stared at him together.

A shy smile appeared on Xie Ze'an's face: "I only have a little idea..."

Xie Jiyu stood up: "...Mother, my little sister fell asleep, Yingniang and I will take her back first."

Xie Ze'an: "..."

Xie Shangshu, you are my father, hello!Can you stop being so shameless!

Qin Mingde didn't care so much, he held back his energy and asked, "Say, don't hesitate."

Xie Ze'an said troubledly: "There is indeed a solution, but there are many things needed, and I probably can't get one of them-but I know who has it!"

Xie Ze'an asked someone to bring his own guy, and said simply: "It is to renovate the greenhouse in the palace, so that vegetables can not only shine in the sun in winter, but also feel the warmth of spring. There are two ways to heat up. One is heated by water heating, the other is heated by wind and heat..." He scribbled a sketch on the drawing paper brought out by his servants, "These places are covered with the ones that my brother Zhang just made. The glass that came out - a thing that looks like colored glaze, but it is transparent and can be used for lighting. What I am missing now is the material for this bracket. I heard that His Royal Highness King Qi likes to make this very much. Can we ask him for some Technology... Anyway, he is playing for fun, let us use it! Of course, if he asks for money, my Highness and I can also give it to him!"

Xu Juncheng: "..."

Yao Dingyan: "..."

Qin Mingde: "..."

They seemed to understand why Xie Jiyu ran away!

This bastard seems a little shameless!

King Qi has always protected his steelmaking methods as if they were his lifeblood, and to take them over is to steal his lifeblood!

Xu Juncheng was about to persuade Zhao Chongzhao and Xie Zean to give up this idea, when Qin Mingde and Yao Dingyan said at the same time: "I'll try it."

Xie Ze'an was overjoyed: "Thank you sir! Thank you also Mr. Qin!"

These two great gods are both famous for their sharp mouths, and they are experts in how to force people to submit with their pens and mouths.

It's a bit embarrassing to think about sending out such two great gods to ask King Qi for technology at the same time!

Ouch, he has such a thin skin!
