Zhuo Qihua

Chapter 43

Zhuo Ji prepared the face cream, hand cream and lip balm, and he asked Xiaohui to send some to Jia Guixie, Dezhen and the Queen Mother respectively.He also asked Xiaohui to give Dezhen and Jiaguixie recipes, so that they could prepare these things by themselves in the future.Since you are going to get pregnant, you need to pay attention to all aspects, especially if Dezhen is pregnant, you should avoid things that are too fragrant, and do not use incense.It was also out of caution that Zhuo Ji asked Jia Guixie and Deju to match him.Newcomers will enter the palace next year, who knows who they are, if they tamper with this aspect, if something happens, he will be in trouble.Of course, Zhuo Ji over there also sent the formula over there.

For half a month, Emperor Yong'an did not go to Xiangfu Palace.The Chinese New Year is coming soon, the palace is getting busy, and Zhuo Ji is also very busy.Every day except for eating and being busy in his study, no one is allowed to enter.Emperor Yong'an stayed with Jia Guixie in Huayang Palace for eight full days, and has been in Fengtian Palace ever since.It's the end of the year, and the entire imperial court is very busy from top to bottom.Jia Guixie sent Chang'an to deliver a letter to Zhuo Ji. He knew that Zhuo Ji was busy, so he didn't let Zhuo Ji go.The affairs of the paper mill will start to be arranged in the next year, and Dezhen is pregnant, so he will only pay the money from the paper mill, Zhuo Ji will only take care of the papermaking process, and Jiagui will worry about the rest.Jiaguixie is busy, so he can feel better. Now Dejuan puts his stomach first, so naturally Jiaguixie is in charge, and Zhuo Ji has no objection.

In the Hall of Qinwen, Emperor Yong'an sat silently on the upper seat with a piece of soft toilet paper in his hand, while Zhang Xian stood cautiously at the side.Since the truth of Jiaguixie's miscarriage was found out, His Majesty has been in a bad mood.Zhang Xian also didn't quite understand why His Majesty didn't go to Xiangfu Palace.Zhang Xian, who was good at observing words and expressions, didn't ask. He had an intuition that if he asked, His Majesty would definitely reprimand him.

Although Emperor Yong'an disliked this so-called toilet paper, he still used it.I have to say that this toilet paper may not be as soft as silk, but it is much better than silk in terms of function.Emperor Yong'an also knew that Zhuo Ji, Jia Guixie, and Dezhen were going to open a paper mill together, and Jiaguixie didn't hide it from him, and it was impossible to hide it from him.

The atmosphere was so dull that Zhang Xian couldn't help but say, "Long live?"

Emperor Yong'an put his hand on the imperial case, and asked: "Zhang Xian, do you think that if you obey him, you have me?"

Zhang Xian was stunned: "Long live, I naturally have you in my heart."

Emperor Yong'an supported his cheekbone with one hand, his eyes were slightly cold: "Really?"

Zhang Xian's heart trembled, and he took a step forward: "Long live, why did you... When His Royal Highness and the third princess were sick, you treated and took care of me carefully? As for..."

Emperor Yong'an: "Do you think he cares about me?"

"Slave..."

Emperor Yong'an: "The concubines and maids in the palace all say they love me, and they only have me in their hearts. I am their husband and their heaven. The Cheng family is jealous. She is for the stability of her successor, but why not?" Don't you want me to love and respect her alone? Jia Guixie can be regarded as virtuous and virtuous, but if I dote on Shunyou, he will still complain. Xi Guifei poured the medicine, and it was also out of jealousy, jealous of my doting on Shunyou. It's okay..."

When the Holy Majesty said this, Zhang Xian's heart "thumped".Comparing the hatchback, it is true that it is so magnanimous and magnanimous!

Emperor Yong'an: "I spoke well and said that I would rest with him for a month. But I couldn't do it. I went to Huayang Palace. But he is just four words. Don't tell me not to be angry. Zhang Xian, he didn't call me Angry, I can see that he is worried about me, but is he worried about me because he cares about me? In front of me, he always calls himself a "subject". Sometimes when he gets annoyed, he will say "I". There is no freedom in this palace, all he wants is to eat and wait to die, and he knows that I am the one who can let him eat and die, so he is very concerned about my affairs. But it is not because He loves me."

Zhang Xian couldn't answer, feeling flustered.

"Whom I invite to bed at night, and whose palace I go to at night, has nothing to do with him. He never asks, let alone being unwilling because of it. Even if I don't go to Xiangfu Palace for ten days and a half months, he won't ask more questions. One word, let alone complaints. As for the draft, he doesn't seem to know anything about it. I'm afraid my position in his heart is not as important as his two personal palace servants."

"He flirts with me, not so much for favor, as for making fun of me. If I throw him into the cold palace, he will never cry, and in the cold palace, he can let himself live well."

"Long live……"

Emperor Yong'an: "I really want to know, when he told Jiaguixie and Dexie about the pregnancy, did he care about it in his heart, did he feel unwilling."

Zhang Xian could only remain silent.Even if he knew that Shun Yu would never mind, how could His Majesty not know.At this moment, Zhang Xian feels that Shun Wan is actually not in love with Long Live at all.

The Hall of Qinwen fell into silence again.Wan Sui wants to be compliant with his body, but even more so with his heart, Zhang Xian really doesn't know how to comfort him.Just when he was racking his brains to think of what to say, he heard the Ninth Five-Year Lord above say: "What I told you, you are not allowed to say a word in front of him!"

Zhang Xian trembled in his heart, and bowed: "Yes."



Mingyu was mixing Zhuo Ji's oil paints in the room, when an eunuch ran in in a panic: "Youzu! Your Majesty is coming down!"

The stirring stick in Mingyu's hand fell into the porcelain basin, and he looked at the eunuch in front of him stupidly, suspecting that he had heard wrong.Seeing this, the other party hastily shouted again: "忍俍! Your Majesty is coming down! Hurry up and pick him up!"

Ming Xun visibly shivered and was shocked: "Your Majesty is coming?!"

"Yes! Your Majesty is coming! You hurry to pick him up!"

Mingyu panicked all of a sudden.Why is Your Majesty here!Ah Gui hurriedly supported him: "Master! It's too late to dress up! You wash your hands quickly, and this servant will fix your hair!"

"Ah! Yes! Yes! Quickly! Water! Bring water!"

After walking around the East Pavilion of Yanxin Palace, Emperor Yong'an sat down on the kang.Mingyu was not favored, and the entire Yanxin Palace Lord's Palace seemed extremely deserted, and the decorations in the East Pavilion were much worse than those in Xiangfu Palace.Emperor Yong'an took the tea bowl, picked up the tea leaves, and took a sip of the tea.This is the case in the harem, those who are favored are held from top to bottom.Those who are not to be favored, even the most humble palace servants dare to bully the master.Thinking like this, Emperor Yong'an couldn't help but think of Zhuo Ji again.That person might be the only exception in the harem.Even if that person is relegated to the cold palace, that person will not be bullied by anyone.

"His Majesty!"

Mingyu came, and Emperor Yong'an put down the tea bowl.When Ming Xun saw His Majesty, his eyes turned red instantly, and Emperor Yong'an could clearly see the moment Ming Xun lowered his head, a teardrop flowed from the corner of his eye.

Mingyu knelt down: "I don't know that your majesty is coming, but I see that you are late."

"Those who don't know are not to blame, I also made a temporary decision, so get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ming Xun stood up, and quickly wiped his face with the posture of getting up.When I stood up, there were no tears in the corners of my eyes, but there were still water stains on my face.Ming Xun carefully sat down across the kang table.Emperor Yong'an picked up the tea bowl again and said, "I suddenly realized that it seems that I haven't been here for a long time."

Mingyu almost couldn't hold back his tears, he lowered his head and smiled slightly, trying to blink back the tears of grievance, raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty has a lot of things to do every day, he is too busy, he understands."

Whether Emperor Yong'an didn't come because he was too busy, both of them knew, but no one would make it clear.For Mingyu, as long as His Majesty is willing to come, even if he just sits down, it will make him happy for a long time.At this moment, Mingyu's excitement was in stark contrast to Zhuo Ji's indifference, and Emperor Yong'an's heart sank a little, but he didn't show it on his face.

Emperor Yong'an asked casually, "What are you busy with?"

Mingyu hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully: "Shunyou, please ask Sishen to help him mix a kind of paint for painting. Sishen prepared it for him two days ago, but the quantity is not enough. There is nothing wrong with Sishen left and right. Just help him make more arrangements."

"Oh? What kind of paint do you need to help him match?"

Mingyu: "Speaking of which, please tell me what kind of oil paint it is." After speaking, Mingyu signaled to Agui, and Agui went out immediately.

Emperor Yong'an: "Oil painting? What kind of painting is it?" Is it the New Year's gift that person said?

Mingyu shook his head: "I don't know about Shishen either. The paint has just been mixed, and the quantity is not enough. Shunyou probably hasn't painted it yet, and Shishen can't see it."

Emperor Yong'an nodded and stopped asking.Emperor Yong'an drank tea, Mingyu didn't know what to say.To be honest, Emperor Yongan didn't know what to say to Mingyu.If it wasn't for the grievances in his heart, he would not have gone to Yanxin Palace.Fortunately, Agui soon came over with something, and Mingxi asked Agui to put the bottles of paint on the big table, and Emperor Yong'an followed Mingxi.

Speaking of paint, Mingyu talked a lot.Emperor Yong'an tried the brush and found that the paint was difficult to use, and he couldn't figure out what kind of painting this oil painting was, and how Zhuo Ji would use this sticky paint.After sitting in Yanxin Palace for less than an hour, Emperor Yong'an left.Even so, when he left, Mingyu was almost in tears with excitement.After leaving the Yanxin Palace and sitting on the chariot, Emperor Yong'an was not at all happy.

Zhang Xian was worried by the side, this is really true, even if he doesn't have Long Live in his heart, and Long Live hasn't been to Xiangfu Palace for such a long time, wouldn't it be okay to come here by himself and coax Long Live?

"Master, what are you doing?"

"ruler."

"ruler?"

"Well. The measurement unit of size is inconvenient. I need to make a ruler with a standard measurement unit."

The master also said that this kind of lofty words are incomprehensible.Chang Jing and Xiao Hui did not disturb their master, but waited aside.The length of the distance traveled by light in a vacuum in a time interval of 1/299792458 seconds is "meters".Of course, Zhuo Ji couldn't accurately determine the length, he could only determine an approximate length through the existing size conversion. 1 foot is equivalent to 0.3333... meters.Zhuo Ji first drew the length of one foot on the cut paper, and then began to count.

After a busy day, Zhuo Ji made a ruler with millimeters, centimeters, and meters as measurement units. Of course, it would be inaccurate.But after doing it, Zhuo Ji found that it was not enough.He asked Chang Jing to go to the palace secretary to ask if there were any eunuchs in the palace who were good at carpentry. If not, he could only ask Jiaguixie for help.Fortunately, there were eunuchs who were good at carpentry in the palace. Chang Jing went to the palace secretary, and the palace secretary sent two eunuchs over.

Zhuo Ji told the two eunuchs what he wanted to do, and then gave them more than a dozen blueprints, asking them to take them back to study first, and he was not in a hurry to use them.The two eunuchs left respectfully with several drawings.When the two eunuchs walked halfway, they were stopped by the eunuchs from Fengtian Temple.

Looking at the blueprints laid out on the imperial case one by one, Emperor Yong'an looked unpredictable.Zhuo Ji needed drawing tools such as set squares, T-squares, protractors, and compasses, and he also drew vernier calipers.Emperor Yong'an knew that the vernier caliper was invented by Wang Mang, who was said to be a wise man.Zhuo Ji also marked his own standard length in millimeters, centimeters, and meters, which needs to be engraved on the drawing tool.At the same time, I also wrote down several calculation formulas, indicating the angle division of the protractor and the design principle of the triangular plate.The Pythagorean law, formulas a, b, and c, not to mention craftsmen can't understand, even Emperor Yong'an is confused, only the so-called Pythagorean law he has dabbled in.

Emperor Yong'an: "Zhang Xian, Sima, Langzhong and Yuanwailang of the Xuangong Department."

"Yes!"

Zhang Xian went out, and Emperor Yong'an asked two eunuchs who were kneeling on their heads to stand aside and wait.After waiting for a while, Sima of the Ministry of Industry brought nine people including Lang Zhong and Yuan Wai Lang to the Hall of Xing Xing.Langzhong and Yuanwailang seldom had the opportunity to meet His Majesty the Emperor face to face, and several of them were trembling, especially Sima of the Ministry of Industry, who was equivalent to the role of Minister of the Ministry of Industry.Now the Minister of the Ministry of Industry is not in Shangjing, and his whereabouts are unknown. Sima is temporarily in charge of all the operations of the Ministry of Industry. The most disturbing one is Sima when the Holy Majesty announces that they will come.

Emperor Yong'an asked Zhang Xian to show the things on the table to those people. Zhang Xian carefully gathered the blueprints and took them over.Worked in the Ministry of Industry, more or less have some skills.When these people saw these blueprints, they were shocked.Mathematics in Mata country had developed to a certain extent at this time, but it had not yet formed a science.The formula written by Zhuo Ji is not profound, but it is amazing to these people.

Emperor Yong'an ordered: "The triangular plate, protractor, compass, T-square and vernier caliper marked on the drawing, you should make them as soon as possible according to the requirements on the drawing. If there is anything you don't understand, write it down and submit it to me."

"Your Majesty, I dare to say, which expert made these things?" Sima of the Ministry of Industry asked.

Emperor Yong'an didn't speak, Sima shivered in fright when he saw the eyes of the Holy Majesty, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.Emperor Yong'an asked the officials of the Ministry of Industry to go back and start making, and then said to the two eunuchs: "You can follow along in the future."

The two eunuchs immediately knelt down and kowtowed to express their gratitude: "My servant, I thank Your Majesty Long En!"

Now who doesn't know that it is the greatest blessing to be able to serve by Shun Yuzu's side.Emperor Yong'an knocked coldly: "I gave Shunyou you, if he doesn't like it, then don't keep it."

"Slaves must serve Shunyou with all their heart!"

Looking for someone to make a tool, but the tool has not yet been made, but there are two more eunuchs to support.Looking at the two middle-aged eunuchs kneeling in front of him, Zhuo Ji was speechless and at the same time thanked Emperor Yong'an, he really didn't have such people around.Asking Wang Bao to settle the two of them, Zhuo Ji said to Feng Xi, "Thank you for sending me here personally. I haven't seen Eunuch Zhang recently, are you busy?"

But Feng Xi was about to cry: "By the way, please don't ask the servant master, don't you ask Your Majesty?"

Zhuo Ji was amused by Feng Xi, and said: "Your Majesty must be busy at the end of the year. Well, well, I won't ask any more. Come on, come on, the New Year is coming, I will give you an early New Year's greetings in advance."

"Hey! You, please forgive the little one!"

Feng Xizhen was about to cry.Zhuo Ji laughed and stuffed a red envelope into Feng Xi's arms, and said, "Your Majesty is busy recently, and so am I. I won't bother Your Majesty with Fengtian Palace. Please ask Your Majesty what I want. When will things be made? Try to do it before May next year, I'm afraid that it will be late. Also, pay my respects to your master for an early New Year."

Feng Xi really cried this time, by the way, you are going to kill your slaves and master!Chang Jing came over with a box in his arms, handed it to Feng Xi, and said, "Eunuch Feng, this is an annual gift I prepared for Manager Zhang, please give it to Manager Zhang for me."

Feng Xi burst into tears: "Cui, don't you have anything else to say to Your Majesty?"

Zhuo Ji shook his head: "No."

Feng Xi left crying.As soon as Feng Xi left, Chang Jing said: "Master, it would be great if you could say something nice and let Eunuch Feng take it back. Your Majesty hasn't been here for a long time."

Zhuo Ji turned around and entered the room, and said, "Your Majesty's young man's heart is probably overflowing again. If he wants to be arrogant, I can't help it. Want to hear something nice? I won't say it if you kill him."

Xiaohui and Chang Jing: "..." Master, please don't say something that the servants don't understand?
