Great Qin Shi Empress

==·Development·==

Ying Zheng hadn't entered the house yet, so Lin Qian didn't know that her complaints in her heart had been heard by the client again.

She was just a little curious, whether this Xu Shi in front of her was the Xu Fu she knew, so she asked a few more questions: "Are you from Langya in Qidi?"

Xu Shi was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, they are from Langya in Qidi. Marquis Gu Feng knows that he is here?"

Lin Qian glanced at him, and couldn't help muttering in her heart——

[Of course I know you. After all, I was able to trick Qin Shihuang into giving you tens of thousands of dollars to go out to sea with three thousand boys and girls to find fairy mountains. I was so lucky that I met Shanghai Island and ran to Fusang to build a country. No matter how you look at it, it’s the same It's quite a big thing, you've left your name in history, okay? 】

Many people's impression of Xu Fu is that he took money and went to sea with three thousand boys and girls, and that he was suspected to be the ancestor of the Fusang people.

But in fact, Xu Fu did not go to sea only once. In fact, he had cheated Qin Shihuang into spending tens of thousands of property for several years before he went to sea for the last time to find the fairy mountain medicine.

Even Qin Shihuang's sudden death has some inexplicable connection with Xu Fu upon closer inspection——

A few years after Xu Fu searched for the fairy medicine for Qin Shihuang, perhaps Qin Shihuang had already noticed something was wrong, and Xu Fu also noticed Qin Shihuang's emotional change, so he decided to take the last wave and leave, so he once again coaxed Qin Shihuang, saying that they had tossed a few times. The reason why Nian couldn't find Xianshan was because there were big fish in the sea, and they needed to bring someone who was good at archery to go to sea together.

He himself ran away with others, and luckily ended up in Japan.

Qin Shihuang had a dream after that, and he happened to dream of fighting the sea god.

When the divination official interpreted the dream, he said that the sea god was vicious, and he had to be shot to welcome a kind god.

then……

Qin Shihuang really took people to shoot gods.

But God couldn't find it. After wandering around in many places, he met a big fish and shot it dead.

I don't know if he finally realized that he was being deceived, or because he was too tired from traveling so much, Qin Shihuang fell ill when he passed by Pingyuanjin on his return journey.

……

Standing outside, Ying Zheng listened to all of Lin Qian's heart sounds, and only noticed two things——

There is an island overseas where a country can be established; and his sudden sudden death is related to being deceived and going to sea to kill gods.

The former has no energy to manage for the time being.

the latter……

Ying Zheng touched the hilt of his sword, his eyes dimmed.

……

There are many alchemists who have deceived Yingzheng, and Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng who have tossed about "pitting Confucianism" are the best of them.

But Xu Fu is undoubtedly the only one who has been able to deceive him for so many years, and even after the Confucianism incident, to get Yingzheng to subsidize his money to go to sea to find Xianshan.

Lin Qian just looked at him a few more times out of curiosity about historical figures, but didn't intend to do anything to Xu Fu.

After all, since Xu Fu was not killed by the mind-reading Ying Zheng when he first met in this life, it means that he never thought of deceiving Ying Zheng before, or did not deceive him.

Ying Zheng didn't do anything to him, so Lin Qian naturally wouldn't intervene.

So after Lin Qian confirmed that the Xu City in front of him was the Xu Fu he knew, besides taking a few more glances, he only reminded: "It's just a fluke to hear your name, I hope you have some real skills, don't let me down." good."

Xu Shi repeatedly said: "I must do my best."

Lin Qian asked people to take out the dark wooden board he was looking for, and prepared to explain some simple and basic information to this group of people, and then let them start preparing for the extraction of amine.

But I didn't want to hear the voice at this moment: "Your Majesty is here—"

Lin Qian turned her head abruptly and met Ying Zheng's meaningful eyes.

She froze for a moment, then suddenly remembered the complaints she had made in her heart before, and turned her head to look at Xu Shi in an instant.

Ying Zheng also followed Lin Qian's movements and set his sights on Xu Shi.

Being stared at by Ying Zheng, Xu Shi immediately tensed up, and his whole body began to tremble.

He wasn't very courageous, but he wasn't too small either.

Otherwise, he would not have dared to come to Qin, and wanted to enter Xianyang Palace to make a living under the hands of the not-so-famous Ying Zheng.

However, after several years of repeated work of extracting mercury, during which time mercury poisoning was caused by improper operation, lying in bed for a long time, and continuing to extract mercury after recovering, Xu City's psychological shadow on Ying Zheng It's really not that big.

Almost as soon as he saw Ying Zheng's face, he couldn't help but think back to the painful days when he extracted mercury in the past.

【Why did King Qin come here today?Could it be that Gu Fenghou asked us to study something extraordinary?Can I quit?Even if it is to go back to extract mercury. 】

【King Qin is really scary! 】

Obviously, Xu Shi has been tortured by the life of these few years to the point of fear of Ying Zheng, not to mention lying, he just wants to stay away from Ying Zheng, and it is best not to see each other for the rest of his life!

Ying Zheng's hand had already been placed on the waist with the sword, but now he heard Xu Shi's heartbeat, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

He looked at the man from top to bottom, and then said: "This is the last chance I give you, if you can't complete the task arranged by Marquis Gu Feng, I will arrest you and behead you for the crime of deceiving the king. "

Seeing that these alchemists only wanted to go to the palace to make a living and didn't think about deceiving himself, he didn't kill these people.

Now it seems...

After all, it was too kind to them!

Ying Zheng looked at Lin Qian: "For the sake of your saying that they are useful, I can give them a chance. But if they can't seize the opportunity, or they are just embroidered pillows with no skills, you can tell the widow directly."

Glancing at the others, Ying Zheng's eyes darkened, "I think those Mohist children must be more appropriate than this group of people who can only deceive and deceive."

Lin Qian understood what Ying Zheng said, and immediately took a deep breath.

Several people in Xu City were even more frightened.

First, if Lin Qian could not complete the mission, he would be beheaded by the King of Qin for the crime of deceiving the emperor. Afterwards, there was a famous Mohist boy waiting to take over. A group of people clearly realized that if they could not seize this opportunity, it would be over.

The people in Xu City didn't think of perfunctory Lin Qian at first, but now they are even more determined to complete all Lin Qian's orders.

Lin Qian noticed the expressions of several people, froze for a moment, then looked at Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng wondered, "What's wrong?"

Lin Qian hesitated for a moment, and asked directly in his heart: 【You don't kill Xu Shi...is it because of me? 】

Ying Zheng paused, but did not deny it.

Lin Qian's heart skipped a beat, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise, I'd better find a way to recruit other alchemists?"

Ying Zheng glanced at her, with a little smile in his eyes: "It's nothing, the widow sees these people as trash, and they will definitely not be able to fulfill your request. It's the same if you kill them early or late!"

The two spoke like no one else was there, and the audience next to them, Xu Shi and others, were going crazy——

[Can you stay away from us when you discuss these things? ! ! ! 】

[It's over, what exactly is Gu Fenghou asking us to do? 】

[No matter what Gu Fenghou wants us to do, I must seize this opportunity!I absolutely don't want to die! 】

Lin Qian was dumbfounded: 【What if they make it? 】

Ying Zheng glanced at Xu Shi, unable to imagine how he could be deceived by such a timid and unimmoral person.

but……

He said indifferently: "If it is really useful to me, Daqin, why not keep it?"

Zhang Liang, who was said to have assassinated him, and Ying Zheng stayed behind. If Xu Shi is really useful, he has no reason not to tolerate a liar.

Lin Qian froze for a moment, then subconsciously nodded.

Ying Zheng still had other official duties in his hands, seeing these alchemists standing aside obediently like quails, not messing around anymore, he bid farewell to Lin Qian and left here.

Lin Qian stood where she was, waiting for Ying Zheng's back to disappear before looking back at the others.

She turned her eyes around the others, then landed on Xu Shi, and said meaningfully: "You must know that several alchemists asked to see His Majesty before, intending to trick His Majesty into seeking immortality and medicine, but His Majesty saw through it at a glance. His majesty killed them on the spot. You guys have to work hard, otherwise..."

Xu Shi: "..."

For some reason, I always feel like I'm being watched.

He suppressed the premonition of uneasiness in his heart, and he didn't dare to think about other things at all, he only wanted to complete Gu Fenghou's task.

……

Lin Qian taught them from the most basic elements, molecules, etc., and after they understood these things, he told them what they wanted to extract, the methods he knew to extract ammonia and amines, and then handed over the matter to the How many people were there.

When Xu Shi and others talked about elements and molecules from Lin Qian, their eyes widened. When they heard her talk about the method of using other things to make another thing, their eyes lit up like light bulbs. Extra scary.

A group of people seeking immortality and asking questions subconsciously thought it was a magic spell of the gods. Lin Qian explained it several times before they finally believed the truth.

But this kind of content, which is similar to the "spells" they had learned before, easily aroused the interest of a group of alchemists and attracted their attention.

Afterwards, even without Lin Qian's supervision, a group of alchemists were completely immersed in the experiment.

……

Thinking of Ying Zheng looking at him with much gentler eyes than when he first saw him, Lin Qian hesitated for a moment, and went to find Ying Zheng.

Seeing her coming, Ying Zheng casually pointed to the place beside him: "How about it, are those alchemists still useful?"

Lin Qian nodded vaguely: "It's just a start at the moment. I don't know if those alchemists are useful. But they seem to be quite experienced and quick to learn, so I plan to see their performance again."

Yingzheng was not surprised, and turned to mention the Mohists' children: "Juzi heard that the widow sent you a group of alchemists, and asked the widow if he needed to send some Mohist disciples to help. The widow didn't make the decision for you, you Later, I will discuss it with Juzi of the Mo family by myself."

Lin Qian froze for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Ying Zheng immersed himself in his official duties and did not speak again.

Lin Qian was a little embarrassed sitting beside her, and her eyes fell on Ying Zheng.

After watching for a while, Ying Zheng reached out to pick up the teacup and took a sip of water, then continued to bury his head and start dealing with official duties.

When he's busy, he's unfocused, and he looks extraordinarily serious and charming.

Lin Qian was thinking about how to say goodbye, when Ying Zheng frowned suddenly, then straightened his back, leaned on the pillow to relax his legs, and then changed his kneeling posture to sitting cross-legged.

She suddenly came back to her senses, remembering that when she was serving in the main hall, every time she returned to the side hall, she had to use hot water to compress her knee pain: "It is said that your majesty sits kneeling or sitting cross-legged on the couch every day to write, and you should often feel back pain. Your legs hurt and you need to change positions frequently?"

Ying Zheng immediately turned to look at Lin Qian: "Why, but did you think of something good?"

Lin Qian nodded: "There are really a few good things, and they are easy to make, but I don't know if you are used to them."

Ying Zheng trusted what she brought out: "Make it and try it first?"

Lin Qian responded, got up and said: "Then I will go to Juzi to help you make a set of tables and chairs for you to try, and then I will ask Juzi to help you burn some glass. Glass is inseparable from experiments."

Ying Zheng thought for a while and asked, "Glass? Is it the three-piece suit you mentioned earlier?"

Lin Qian was stunned, and nodded embarrassingly after recalling for a while: "Why did you remember this name? But it is indeed one of them."

After a pause, she bid farewell to Ying Zheng, "Then I'll go first, and I'll come to you after the results are produced."

Seeing Ying Zheng nodded, Lin Qian left the main hall.

==·Tables and chairs·==

When Juzi saw Lin Qian, he asked directly: "I heard that His Majesty called the alchemist who was imprisoned in the alchemy cave to extract mercury to extract amine? Then do you still need me to send a few Mohists?"

Lin Qian did not refuse directly: "If the other party is free, please help me with another matter."

Juzi of the Mo family became interested: "Anything new?"

Lin Qian laughed: "In terms of it, it's two different things. One is the table and chairs that make people sit and write more comfortably, and the other is the various glass utensils that alchemists need to use in their experiments."

Juzi Mohist was curious: "Tables, chairs and glass?"

Lin Qian nodded: "The tables and chairs are made of wood, you can make them easily, it doesn't take much effort; but the glass needs a little trouble, it may delay a lot of time."

As he spoke, Lin Qian handed over two blank sheets of paper.

One has the patterns and approximate dimensions of the tables, chairs and benches, and the other has the recipe for firing the glass.

The temperature is not a problem--

After the blast furnace was built by Mohist Juzi, the temperature of the furnace could already meet the needs of glass firing.

And because glazed products already appeared in the Warring States Period, Mohist Juzi just took a look at the two drawings and agreed happily: "Whether it is these tables, chairs, beds, or the glass you mentioned, we can do it." Will make it for you soon."

This is not difficult for Mohist Juzi.

……

In fact, it was the same. Almost the second day after Lin Qian handed over the blueprints of tables, chairs and benches to Mo Jiajuzi, he directly ordered someone to come to the official office of the Shaofu and told her that the tables, chairs and benches were ready.

Lin Qian took Lin Mo directly to the Mohist workshop. Not long after entering the door, he saw a whole set of wooden furniture on the open space.

She walked over with some surprise and found that a group of Mohist children were talking about how these things should be improved.According to what they said, it seems that because they tried to sit on it, they found that some sizes still need to be adjusted.

The Mohist Juzi saw Lin Qian at a glance: "Marquis Gu Feng, come here quickly, do you think these tables, chairs and beds are consistent with what you asked for?"

Lin Qian went over to sit down and tried it, and found that there was indeed some subtle discomfort.

She looked at Mo Jiajuzi: "Can the size of these tables and chairs be adjusted? I don't feel comfortable sitting on them. The chairs seem to be too high."

Juzi laughed loudly: "Isn't that simple?"

He directly asked someone to bring tools, and after a few brushes, he cut off the legs of the chair, and then asked Lin Qian to try other furniture, and after several revisions, the Mo family quickly put the furniture according to Lin Qian needs have changed.

Lin Qian tried the feeling of sitting on a table and chair to stretch her legs freely for the first time in a long time, and she couldn't help showing a little smile on her face.

Juzi nodded with satisfaction: "I tried sitting down before, and found that it is indeed more comfortable than kneeling on a cushion. I plan to build a set of furniture for myself according to your blueprint later."

Lin Qian didn't mind this, but...

"Before you build your own furniture, I'm afraid you have to build a set for His Majesty according to his figure." She smiled, "I originally prepared this set of furniture for Your Majesty, and after the modification, I can only keep it by myself Yes, but His Majesty must not forget that trick."

In fact, Lin Qian didn't spend much time working in Shaofu, and didn't spend too much time kneeling, so she never thought of building tables and chairs.

But Ying Zheng has to kneel and sit almost every day, so tables and chairs are also necessities for him?

Juzi was taken aback: "You originally gave it to His Majesty?"

Lin Qian nodded: "It's just that I didn't have enough control over the size, so I made a mistake when drawing the drawings."

Juzi didn't take it seriously: "It's not difficult to make these furniture, it will take a day or two..." After a pause, he hesitated when he thought that the furniture to be made later was for His Majesty, "But if it is for His Majesty If His Majesty prepares furniture, these tables, chairs and beds...are they too simple?"

He looked at the furniture that Lin Qian decided to keep for himself, and he was a little picky from his original satisfaction: "Should we add some carvings? Apply some tung oil? And we should also add some drawers and other structures to increase practicality... ..."

Lin Qian nodded repeatedly at the beginning, thinking that the Mohist Juzi was right.

But the more I listened, the more I realized that Juzi of the Mo family didn't look like he was making furniture, but rather wanted to spend a lot of time to complete a rare treasure, and he was a little dazed.

She looked at Juzi: "I think it's better to rescue His Majesty from the uncomfortable sitting position first, what do you think, Juzi?"

Juzi paused, and patted his forehead annoyedly: "What Gu Fenghou said is true."

Lin Qian almost thought that Juzi had given up his "work of art" project, but he didn't want to hear him say, "We should first build a set of simple furniture for His Majesty so that His Majesty can handle government affairs more comfortably, and then spend time building Come up with a better set of furniture to replace, so that His Majesty can replace these more comfortable furniture earlier, and won't wrong His Majesty."

Lin Qian: "..."

She couldn't help but glance at her set of furniture.

Juzi noticed Lin Qian's little trick, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, Gu Fenghou, I just invited you here today to see if there is any room for improvement in these furniture. First find out the right size, and then I will personally Create a brand new set of furniture for you, and put this set in the workshop for others to learn, after all, many people have used these furniture."

Lin Qian laughed: "It doesn't have to be like this."

Juzi quickly shook his head: "This set of furniture is too plain, it would be too obtrusive if you really want to carry it into the palace, it's not good."

When Lin Qian heard the reason, she didn't delay any longer.

A few days later, the Mo family Juzi brought the free Mo family children to work overtime to build the furniture for Ying Zheng and Lin Qian. After asking Lin Qian to come over and have a look, he was sent directly to the palace.

Apart from the tung oil brushing, these two sets of furniture have no other decorations, and they look quite simple.

But Ying Zheng fell in love with it immediately after using it.

In addition, Lin Qian had someone make some pillows and cushions out of cotton, and kept a copy for himself, and handed over the rest to Ying Zheng——

She originally wanted to make a copy for Lin Mo, but Lin Mo was so handy that he didn't need to ask for help, so he picked up needles and thread and made a whole set of cushions, pillows and pillows for himself, waiting for the Mo family to send them The furniture is delivered and ready to use right away.

After Yingzheng got the cushions and pillows, handling official business became a kind of enjoyment.

Not only did he immediately replace all the low couches and short tables, he also thought that he would not treat the civil and military ministers badly, so he directly asked Juzi to make some more chairs and replaced all the cushions when the civil and military officials went to court.

So within a few days, when all the ministers went to the court, they found that there were a lot of chairs in the conference hall.

When they were still hesitating, Juzi of the Mo family who personally participated in the making of the chair sat down on his seat and raised his legs in a very leisurely manner.

When the other officials saw this, they couldn't help asking a few words, and after learning that His Majesty sympathized with them and specially ordered the Mohists to make it, they all sat down on their chairs.

After a while, they realized the benefits of the chair.

I used to feel pain in my knees after sitting on my knees or sitting cross-legged for a long time, but now I have changed to a chair and I don't have such troubles.

Ministers of civil and military affairs immediately fell in love with this kind of chair.

Later, when Ying Zheng called him to discuss matters, he found that almost all the furniture in his bedroom had been changed, and he wanted to follow suit.

They found Juzi of the Mo family, but learned that he was not available.

But after seeking Lin Qian's consent, Juzi handed over the blueprint she had drawn to them.

So soon, it became popular to build tables and chairs in Xianyang City.

Most aristocrats had carpenters in their homes, but this was not the case in officials' homes, and not every official's home had woods planted, so soon, carpenters in Xianyang City became very popular.

Together with it, there is also the sale of wood.

People in Xianyang can make a lot of money from this.

==·Leaving Palace·==

Liu Ji's "offering advice" in front of Young Master Gao has always been in his mind, but since no one came to him for so long, Liu Ji knew that the other party either didn't use his strategy at all, or his strategy was useless.

He didn't think about the seriousness of the matter at all, and he still spent three days fishing and two days drying the net in the academy to study Qin Law.

Until this day, after Xiao He returned to the residence of his brothers, he mentioned the news that all the adult sons had been kicked out of the list of successors by Ying Zheng.

Liu Ji exclaimed: "Our Majesty is really decisive. There are several adult sons, and it's not that the mud can't support the wall. He even said that he was kicked out of the list of heirs, and he didn't give them the slightest chance. Keep."

Xiao He couldn't help laughing: "Your Majesty has excellent eyesight, I'm afraid there are few heirs who can catch his eyes."

Liu Ji nodded in agreement: "That's true. Didn't I tell you last time that there are many strange machines in the coal mines outside the city, which can lift out the accumulated water in the mine without the help of humans and animals? I have never Let me tell you, when I went back to the city that day, I actually met a few young masters who came back from places other than Xianyang."

"At that time, I was standing in the back of a certain son's carriage, and I heard him talking to his confidants about 'disappointing my father' and "my father will not give me a chance". I thought it was strange at the time, Now that I think about it, what he should be talking about is being kicked out of the heir, right?"

"Hey, I didn't expect that I was the first among the brothers to know this news."

Xiao He ignored Liu Ji and eagerly asked: "A place other than Xianyang?"

After all, he is not a high-ranking official and has no qualifications to go to court, so he only knows that several adult sons have been rejected by His Majesty, but he doesn't know the details, and it is impossible to know why they were kicked out of the list of heirs.

It is impossible for other officials to tell him this kind of secret.

Xiao He would know that the young masters lost the possibility of succession, or because he was recently transferred to Feng Chang, one of the Nine Ministers, to work on the marriages of several adult young masters, and he heard many chatters from other officials——

Because there were several married sons, Fengchang was short of manpower, so many low-level officials in various departments were transferred.

Liu Ji didn't know the reason, but just nodded: "Yes, several young masters came back together at that time."

Xiao He's heart skipped a beat: "You didn't mess around then, did you?"

"Absurd?" Liu Ji paused, "I thought meeting the young master must be a chance for me from heaven, so I had some nonsense with that young master at that time. It shouldn't be considered nonsense, right?"

Xiao He stared: "What the hell have you been doing?"

Seeing Xiao He's expression was wrong, Liu Ji couldn't help becoming serious: "I didn't say anything, I just thought he was pitiful, so I gave him an idea to go to Marquis Gu Feng to intercede."

Xiao He couldn't believe it: "Do you know what the status of Marquis Gu Feng is in the court?"

Liu Ji was stunned: "It's not just a woman..."

Seeing that Xiao He's expression became more and more ugly, Liu Ji couldn't help becoming nervous, "Did I say something wrong?"

Xiao He had a headache: "Do you know who produced the cement? Do you know who produced the blueprint for the water pump? Do you know who produced the fiery tea and the desks and chairs that are popular recently? Even if you I don’t even know, you don’t know who brought out the grains such as potatoes, corns and sweet potatoes?”

Liu Ji's expression was awkward: "Isn't it because His Majesty gave himself the title of female title for the sake of justice, so he gave the credit to others..."

Xiao He stared at Liu Ji firmly, and successfully made him shut up.

After a while, he let out a long sigh: "You should change your disposition of contemptuous of women. You failed to become an official in Peixian County, but the fact that many women you despise got a chance has not awakened you. ?"

Liu Ji's eyes flickered, but he was still somewhat disapproving.

Xiao He was helpless: "I've been busy with the marriages of several young masters recently, and I will inquire about the specific situation when the time comes. You should be careful recently."

Liu Ji was at a loss: "Several months have passed, is that young master still looking for me?"

Xiao He was worried about Liu Ji's rebellion, and explained: "Your Majesty is very dissatisfied with these young masters. In order to put an end to their hopes, he decided to let them get married quickly. After leaving Xianyang Palace, apart from the house, dowry, and a little salary from the ordinary clan, Your Majesty No extra money will be given to the young masters."

Liu Ji blinked, but didn't understand Xiao He's meaning for a while.

Xiao He had to make it clear: "It would be fine if that young master hadn't taken your suggestion, but if he took your suggestion but still ended up in this situation, his life will not be as good as before, and he will inevitably feel angry."

Liu Ji: "!!!"

The marriages of the young masters have nothing to do with Lin Qian. One is that she is only a concubine and not a queen, so she doesn't need to be busy with the marriages of the young masters, not to mention that the concubines of the young masters are still alive, and there is no need for her to do anything; As the Shaofu, she only needs to be responsible for Yingzheng, and she can stay out of it except when she needs to take some things occasionally.

Also because this matter had almost nothing to do with her, Lin Qian didn't think about it until Jiang Lu, the eldest among the several sons, was about to get married.

Although she doesn't need to worry about the marriages of the young masters, it is very necessary to prepare a wedding gift for the couple, no matter from the perspective of concubines or courtiers.

It was also at this time that Lin Qian asked Lin Mo: "Which girls are these young masters destined for?"

Lin Mo looked at Lin Qian in disbelief: "Miss Qian, you are living too muddled, right? Why are the marriages of the young masters about to start, and you don't even know who they are going to marry?"

Lin Qian touched the tip of her nose: "I've been too busy these days, so I didn't pay attention."

Although Lin Mo was speechless, he still told her about the wives of the young masters: "Speaking of which, Your Majesty really trusts General Wang Jian, Prime Minister Li, and Prime Minister Feng. But almost every son's wife is descended from the descendants of these three important ministers. One of the son's two brothers' wives is the granddaughter of General Wang, the younger sister of the son's wife Fusu, and the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Li; The next five sons, the wives of the two sons have appointed the daughters of Prime Minister Li, the two have appointed the daughters of Prime Minister Feng, and the third has appointed the daughter of Prime Minister Feng’s brother Feng Jie."

After hearing this, Lin Qian couldn't help opening her mouth in surprise: "All girls from these three families?"

Lin Mo nodded: "That's why you didn't pay attention, Madam Qian. I heard that some time ago, after His Majesty had selected the candidates for the marriage of several sons, many officials went to the three families to congratulate them."

Lin Qian slowed down a bit before looking up at Lin Mo: "I only know Li Si..."

She paused, and swallowed back the words that slipped to her lips.

After thinking about it, I realized that this matter is not surprising——

It is recorded in a biography of Li Si in historical records that all of Li Si's sons married the daughters of Qin Shihuang, and all his daughters married Qin Shihuang's sons; If there is no difference in status between him and the other princes, Ying Zheng will definitely choose wives with similar family backgrounds for the other princes.

But even so...

There's no need to just grab the daughters of these three families, right?

Lin Qian was speechless.

But after thinking about it, every couple's family background and status are exactly the same, so she, the person who needs to give gifts, is actually simpler——

You only need to prepare seven identical gifts, and then you can send them out as congratulatory gifts.

And what kind of gift can give seven copies at a time without repeating the same, and at the same time, it will not make people feel perfunctory?

Lin Qian thought of porcelain.

Speaking of which, the appearance of porcelain was actually much earlier than many people imagined, but because the temperature of the porcelain kiln was not enough at this time, and there was no step of glazing, etc., the porcelain made was more beautiful than pottery except for its appearance. Smoother and there is no difference.

However, the raw materials of pottery are easier to find than porcelain, so the people at this time have no idea of ​​improving porcelain skills.

But this is not the case, did Juzi Mohist already know how to raise the temperature of the kiln?

Lin Qian went directly to Juzi of the Mohist school and proposed the idea of ​​asking him for help in firing porcelain.

Juzi of the Mo family really didn't understand: "It's not impossible to make porcelain, but it seems to be no different from pottery. Porcelain clay is not easy to find. Why do you have to make porcelain?"

Lin Qian quickly explained: "The porcelain I'm talking about is completely different from the current porcelain."

The Mohist Juzi didn't believe it: "It's not that I haven't fired porcelain before."

Lin Qian explained: "Porcelain in your impression is not much different from pottery. The porcelain I'm talking about... um..."

Modern pottery does not seem to be much different from porcelain?

She paused, then changed her words, "The porcelain I'm talking about is almost completely different from the pottery in your impression. If the porcelain is fired according to the method I said, it will definitely win everyone's love."

Juzi of the Mo family was skeptical, but out of trust in Lin Qian, he ordered someone to find porcelain clay according to her request.

Then, he took several Mohist children who are good at firing ceramics, and under the guidance of Lin Qian, he began to practice mud, embryo making, drying in the shade, and glazing. into the kiln.

……

Lin Qian asked several brides about their preferences, and asked the Mo family to help burn eight sets of porcelain——

A complete set of porcelain includes dishes, cups and bottles, and there are hundreds of pieces of porcelain.

Each set of porcelain uses the same set of similar but not identical patterns, and the patterns are all designed by Lin Qian, and then fired by the Mohist Juzi.

Due to limited conditions, the fired porcelain is all celadon.

But after the finished product came out, even the well-informed Juzi of the Mohist School couldn't help but widen his eyes at the amazing feeling brought by the blue pattern on the white background.

It's really beautiful!

Lin Qian was originally worried that when he got married, it would be too shabby for her to give a set of porcelain as a wedding gift, but after seeing the appearance of the Mo family's giant, Lin Qian felt relieved.

She purposely found a box and filled it with enough cotton before putting all the porcelain in it.

On the day when the son married Lu, Lin Qian ordered people to carry the gift to Mrs. Zhao's palace.

……

The wedding was quite grand, not much different from Fusu's original marriage.

But it may be because she has already experienced it once. Lin Qian didn't feel much when the son married Lu. She was more concerned about Mrs. Zhao who rarely appeared this time.

Different from every woman Lin Qian has ever seen, although this Mrs. Zhao is equally beautiful, from her eyebrows to the corners of her lips to her every action, she gives people a sense of indifference without sadness or joy, even if she is today At her son's wedding, there was no joy on her face.

Lin Qian never thought that Mrs. Zhao was such a woman.

Mrs. Zhao took a look at Lin Qian after she took her seat, nodded slightly to her, and said: "The gift you gave is very beautiful, the general and I both like it."

Then, Mrs. Zhao looked away and said nothing more.

Lin Qian was taken aback for a moment, and said "as long as you like it", and then looked away.

I always feel that if such a person looks at her more, it is bothering her.

Soon, the wedding officially began.

The whole wedding process was no different from Fusu's marriage back then. As a bystander, Lin Qian almost only had to sit by the side from the beginning of the wedding to the end of the wedding, and then he could leave.

Lin Qian thought that there would be no difference between this time and the last time.

After the couple saluted, Ying Zheng looked at the couple in front of him, and suddenly looked at Jiang Lu and said, "Your husband and wife are newly married today, and I don't know what kind of gift to give. After thinking about it, I feel that no amount of wealth seems to be enough. It would be more appropriate for you to enjoy the family happiness of mother and child."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Ying Zheng in shock and astonishment.

Lin Qian's eyes were full of disbelief.

Ying Zheng glanced at her, lowered his eyelids, and said again: "In this way, the widow will give you permission to take her out of Xianyang Palace to live with your husband and wife after asking your mother's consent."

As soon as the words fell, Lin Qian's eyes were extremely calm, Mrs. Zhao, who seemed to be unmoved by everything in the world
