I will never be Renzong

Chapter 58 The Origin of Toilet Paper
In midsummer, thunderstorms come and go as soon as they say they come, and this thunderstorm only lasted for less than half an hour.

Zhao Zhen arrived in the palace before the heavy rain. Naturally, his clothes were not wet by the rain, but he was sweating in a hurry, so he planned to go back to the palace to take a bath before meeting Liu E, but Liu E had been waiting for a long time .

"The official family went to the Daxiangguo Temple to pray for blessings, why did they come back so far?"

Liu E's visit to Funing Hall today was not because of Zhao Zhen's mistake, but because he had something to discuss with him, but he didn't want to wait and wait until no one came back, and he drank several pots of tea.

"I'll tell you the truth! My son and Liu Congde went to the papermaking workshop!"

Zhao Zhen did not hide it, but told the truth.

"The place where the paper workshop smells bad, there are so many people, and the officials are rich in gold, how can you go to that kind of place?"

Liu E said calmly.

"My aunt actually knows that the paper workshop smells bad. Could it be possible that my aunt has also been there?"

Zhao Zhen asked back.

"The Ai family was born in the common people, and she is also a daughter of an ordinary family. In the early years, where did you not go?"

Liu E's words are true. She is different from young ladies like Yang who come from an official family. Naturally, she has been to a papermaking workshop.

"Mao Ze! Bring that paper up!"

Zhao Zhen said to Zhang Mao who was waiting on the side.

"Ma'am! The reason why my minister has been delayed until now, and even didn't come in time to go to Daxiangguo Temple, is because of these two kinds of papers!"

Zhao Zhen took the paper from Zhang Mao and handed it to Liu E.

"What's the smell? It smells so bad?"

As soon as Zhao Zhen approached, there was an unpleasant smell of sweat, and Liu Lanxiang immediately covered his mouth and nose.

"Ma'am, look at it first, I'll go take a shower and change clothes first!"

Zhao Zhen sniffed his own sweat, gave Liu Lanxiang an apologetic look, then bowed to Liu E and went down.

Mrs. Yang hurriedly came up to look at the two kinds of papers in Liu E's hand, and the nobleman Liu Lanxiang knew that she had said something wrong and offended the official, and was standing there blushing, very embarrassed.

"Why are you still standing there stupidly? Why don't you go to serve the official's house!"

Liu E let out a coquettish shout, which scared Liu Lanxiang into a quick-witted salute, and walked towards the bathroom.

"Really! With so much eyesight, I don't know why the officials have taken a fancy to her. If this continues, I don't know when I will have grandson's love at my knees?"

Liu E frowned deeply, and seemed dissatisfied with Liu Lanxiang.

"Sister! After all, Lan Xiang is from the Liu family, and she is still smart, but she still needs to be reminded by the aunt!"

Liu E could not give Liu Lanxiang any face, but she couldn't. She knew that Liu E hated iron, so she spoke good words for Liu Lanxiang.

"That child is good-looking, and she is smart, but her family background is not very good. She is a concubine. Unfortunately, my dignified Liu family has such a good looks. If not, the Ai family will not let her enter the palace to serve the official family. What's more, Aijia can help her for a while, but not forever! You and my sister are both experienced people. It's not that you and I don't know how deep the water in the palace is, and how far we can go in the future. She has to rely on herself!"

Liu E sighed.

"Sister! The quality of this white paper seems to be better than the ones in the palace. It seems to be the latest one made by the government. It's just that the yellow paper is so soft and it can't be written on. I don't know what the government made it for?"

Seeing this, Yang hurriedly changed the topic.

Liu E touched the soft paper, smelled it with her nose, and almost tasted it. After careful research, she still couldn't figure out what the yellow soft paper was for.

"The Ai family is getting old! The thoughts of this young man are becoming more and more unpredictable to the Ai family!"

Liu E couldn't even guess in her dreams that this was used for her butt, so she simply stopped guessing and waited for Zhao Zhen to come out to clarify her and Yang's doubts.

In the bathroom on the other side, Liu Lanxiang was waiting for Zhao Zhen to take a bath, and Zhao Zhen got up on the spur of the moment, so in Liu Lanxiang's charming voice, he pulled him into the bathtub, the mandarin ducks played in the water, the Yingying was chacha, and all kinds of lingering feelings were not lost. I explained them in detail.

In the main hall, at some time, the palace people had already lit up the lamps.

"Come here! Pour another cup of tea for Aijia!"

Liu E looked at the empty tea bowl and said helplessly.

Seeing this, Yang said to Huamei who was waiting on the side: "Go and see, almost half an hour has passed, why haven't the officials finished bathing and changing?"

"Yes!"

Huamei gave a slight blessing, and was about to turn around and leave after saying yes.

"Wait!"

A majestic voice came, and Huamei hurriedly stopped.

"Sister! Don't let her go. They are young people with good physical strength. It's normal for them to toss a little longer. What's more, if she rushes like this, you and my sisters may not know when we will be able to hug our grandson!"

After all, Mrs. Yang came from here, so she naturally understood what Liu E meant, but she still couldn't help but think in her heart that half an hour has passed, and the official family is in much better health than the late emperor!
"I've kept the big lady and the little lady waiting for a long time. The smell of the papermaking workshop is really bad. I have to wash it twice to get rid of the smell!"

Zhao Zhen walked in and hurriedly explained to Liu E and Yang Shi, but Liu Lanxiang didn't show up, because she was about to be tossed to pieces, and limped back to her palace to rest with the help of the palace servants.

"Officials! The quality of this white paper is really good. It is the best paper for writing. I wonder what the official will use it for?"

Liu E asked directly.

"Ma'am! Although this white paper is good,

But the cost is not low, so I plan to use it for the royal family, and it is also good to use as a gift for festivals! "

Zhao Zhen hurriedly explained
"What about this soft yellow paper? It's so soft that it can neither be written nor printed, what is it for?"

Yang asked puzzledly.

"Little lady! This soft tissue is for toilet use. Wouldn't it be better to use this instead of the hard toilet seat?"

Zhao Zhen replied hurriedly.

"Bah! The officials are not ashamed!"

Yang immediately blushed.

Liu E's eyes lit up, and she took the soft paper in her hand again, rubbed it, and then said, "Mm! This thing is much more useful than toilet chips!"

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen added: "Ma'am, this thing can not only be used to go to the toilet, but also can be used to wipe sweat and hands. It is good for wiping hands. The most important thing is that I have tested it, and its water absorption capacity is also very good. Not bad, so a little processing can solve the inconvenience when the daughter's menstruation comes!"

Zhao Zhen came from the 21st century, and he didn't feel any embarrassment. After all, he bought sanitary napkins for his girlfriend a lot.

"Officials! You, a big man, are not afraid of being ridiculed by the world if you dump the private belongings of these women's families?"

Yang said with some helplessness.

"Little lady, this is all made by Bi Sheng, and has nothing to do with me. It's just that after the invention of this thing, I thought of more uses."

Zhao Zhen said with a sneer.

"It's why the officials called Bi Sheng all the way here!"

Liu E was immediately happy.

"Ma'am! This piece of paper doesn't have a name yet! I hope Ma'am will give it a name!"

Zhao Zhen wanted to use toilet paper to make a fortune, but the men in the Song Dynasty used it less. After all, the men in the Song Dynasty had no shortage of wives, and for the women in the Song Dynasty, it was a blessing from heaven, as did the Queen Mother Liu E. A woman is still the most honorable woman in the world. If she can be named, she will definitely make a lot of money.

Liu E naturally didn't know that Zhao Zhen was playing tricks on her, so she took a closer look at the soft paper and said, "This paper is clean and hygienic, why not call it toilet paper!"

"Yeah! Great name! Simple and easy to remember!"

Zhao Zhen hurriedly complimented.
