Wake up and become a son-in-law

Di Renjie sighed, "Although your Majesty let me go, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in Chang'an for long..." Lan Yuheng was a little confused, "No, what happened today was caused by being framed. My Majesty will not let you go." How's that?"

Di Renjie smiled bitterly, "I hope so..."

Lan Yuheng sent Di Renjie back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Mrs. Cui was so grateful to Lan Yuheng that she hugged Di Renjie and cried for a long time, which made Di Renjie very embarrassed. She originally planned to keep Lan Yuheng for dinner, but Lan Yuheng was Heng declined politely. It would be better for them to get along with each other...

He was no longer idle, so he went to the Taoist temple to ask for some saltpeter, sulfur and the like. As a result, the old Taoist insisted that he had too much evil spirit, which made him speechless for a long time.

"It's been less than half a year since I last met Duke Lan. Why has Duke Lan changed so much?" So, isn’t it normal to not see each other for half a year?”

"I can still vaguely remember what Duke Lan looked like a few months ago... Pindao had never felt that Duke Lan had too much murderous aura before, but today when I saw him, he felt a little murderous..." Xuan Dao Ziruo Said meaningfully

Lan Yuheng looked strange, "You can see this? What's wrong with me?"

Lan Yuheng only thought it was nonsense. "Taoist Master, this reincarnation should be from Buddhism, right?" Hell’s evil demons and beasts, right?”

Xuanjizi nodded and said, "Yes, there are indeed similarities between Buddhism and Taoism. A person turns into a ghost after death. If he is a ghost, it is like reincarnation. Reincarnation is the explanation of Buddhism, while ghosts are the explanation of Taoism. I Guanlan Guogong is a man with a rough life. If I have to say...he should have died before twenty years ago, but it is strange that he is still alive today. The poor Taoist Guanlan is also a kind-faced person. He speaks more directly. Hope Lord Marquis, please forgive me"

Lan Yuheng smiled and said, "I don't believe in these. I have never believed in ghosts and gods, so if you want to say anything, please be direct." Xuan Daozi saluted Lan Yuheng, "Since Lan Guogong is a person who does not believe in fate. , the old Taoist has nothing to say.”

Lan Yuheng smiled faintly, picked up some materials and said to Xuan Daozi, "Thank you, Taoist Master, for the materials. I'll take my leave."

Looking at Lan Jade Hengxuan Daozi walking away, he couldn't help but shake his head: "I have seen great good people, poor people have also seen great evil people...How should I judge this great good and great evil person? I'm afraid he will enter I have to reincarnate..."

Lan Yuheng handed over all the process of making black powder to Xie Zijun. "Do you understand, Zijun?" Lan Yuheng demonstrated the thing to her several times. Xie Zijun smiled and said, "I understand. I didn't expect this thing to be very harmful. The workmanship is so simple”

Lan Yuheng smiled and said, "Actually, there is a way to make him several times more powerful." Xie Zijun touched his chin, "Sir, do you mean to increase the amount?"

"Of course not, but this thing requires sugar." Lan Yuheng searched all over Chang'an and never saw white sugar. It is estimated that there is no white sugar in this era...

Xie Zijun was a little stunned. "Sir, what is the use of this sugar? Isn't sugar just for eating?" Lan Yuheng nodded, "What I need is white sugar. The white one is similar to salt..."

"White sugar?" Xie Zijun was even more confused. Is there any white sugar?

Lan Yuheng touched his nose, "That's right! Although we don't have sugar, you can make it yourself! Ye Ying, go find the sugar cane and I'll make some sugar!" Lan Yuheng is also a practical person who does what he says. This sugar cane was not uncommon in the Tang Dynasty. Lan Yuheng boiled it into sugar water

He looked for yellow mud water again and poured it in while a few people looked at him in astonishment. When Wu Yu'er saw this scene, she couldn't help but complain, "How can you eat candy like this! This candy must not be eaten."

Looking at Wu Yu'er who was more anxious than herself, Lan Yuheng patiently explained to his wife with a smile, "No, this yellow mud water has settled, and the layer on top is the sugar water." After waiting quietly for the water to cool down, the top layer quickly A layer of white frost appeared, and Lan Yuheng was overjoyed! This is white sugar!

Lan Yuheng picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful, and put it into his mouth amidst the disgusted looks of several people. Lan Yuheng smacked his lips. It had been a long time since he had eaten such pure white sugar. Suddenly, it felt delicious after eating it like this. Yes, Lan Yuheng scooped up another spoonful and handed it to Wu Yu'er's mouth, "Come on, Yu'er, open your mouth, it's very delicious."

"Don't eat it! It doesn't look delicious." Wu Yu'er shook her head. As a result, Lan Yuheng grabbed Wu Yu'er's chin and poured it in, causing Wu Yu'er to complain all the time, but it was indeed quite delicious. Lan Yuheng scooped up a few more spoons and gave them to Xie Zijun and Ye Ying respectively, and they finished eating They all nodded, and Yeying smiled and said, "Sir, is this candy for eating?"

Lan Yuheng waved his hand and said, "Of course not, you will know later." He took out most of the sugar and left the rest for his wife. He scooped some of it up and put it into gunpowder. After sealing it, he found a place to light it. , just when everyone was curious about how powerful it was, the violent sound startled a few people. Even though they were mentally prepared, they were still frightened. Just because some sugar was added? ? ?

Lan Yuheng laughed when he saw the effect that was several times more powerful than before. "It's done! I still need this thing." Xie Zijun said excitedly, "Sir, you know a lot. If this thing can be mass-produced, it will That’s awesome!”

Lan Yuheng rolled his eyes at Xie Zijun, "Zijun, please be honest and don't run around in the Marquis Mansion." Xie Zijun immediately hugged Lan Yuheng and acted coquettishly, "Sir..." Naturally, Lan Yuheng would not agree, and what happened next During that time, Lan Yuheng stayed with his wife except for making gunpowder. It was not until Mu Qianqian came to call him and said that Di Renjie was looking for him that he returned home.

"Brother Di, why do you have time to come to the Hou Mansion today? It seems that you are recovering well." Lan Yuheng said with a smile. Di Renjie smiled bitterly, "It's almost half a month of recuperation. I brought my wife here today to express my gratitude. Some small things Don’t be dissatisfied with your thoughts.”

Mu Qianqian accepted the gift, and Xiao'e served tea to Di Renjie and his wife. The former smiled and said, "Master Di, you are too polite. My husband and I are old friends. Why should we be so polite? Speaking of the Huzhou incident, Qianqian still owes you a favor."

Di Renjie naturally knew what Mu Qianqian meant. He just wanted to save Lan Yuheng so that he could have a chance to have a good relationship with Lan Yuheng. "Sister-in-law is joking. Those things are just trivial matters. You and Brother Lan are destined to be destined." , this time it’s really hard for Brother Lan to waste his time talking to the Queen Mother.”

Lan Yuheng waved his hand and said, "Brother Di, what you said is exaggerated. Since we are here today, let's have a drink together and not talk about those unhappy things."

Di Renjie smiled and said, "We should have a nice drink, but I don't know when we can see each other after we say goodbye today." The smiles on Lan Yuheng's faces were a little less. Lan Yuheng asked doubtfully, "Brother Di, what is this?" Do you mean it?"

Di Renjie smiled awkwardly and said, "My official document has come down and I have been transferred to Peng Ze as county magistrate." Lan Yuheng frowned, "What does this mean? Isn't this just a frame-up? Why does Wu Meiniang still want to demote you? This doesn't make sense, right?" ?”

Di Renjie's eyes turned and said, "Haha... If we don't talk about this, we will just drink today."

Lan Yuheng saw that Di Renjie was unwilling to talk, so he didn't ask more questions, "Qianqian, ask your sister to prepare some dishes, and Brother Di and I will have a good chat." Mu Qianqian saluted, leaving Xiao'e alone to prepare the food and drinks.

"I don't know when I will be able to return to Chang'an from now on. I'm afraid my official career will be slim..." Di Renjie said with a smile. Lan Yuheng waved his hand and said with a smile, "Brother Di, why are you doing this? You will definitely return to the court in the future."

Di Renjie smiled nonchalantly, "Brother Lan, I have to worry about this. You have seen some of the dangers of this official career. It seems that there are no swords and guns, but in fact it is full of smoke, and there is no blood in the murders. Brother Lan, please try to be more diplomatic."

Lan Yuheng smiled bitterly, "My temper is like this. To be honest, I was just thinking about how to tell Wu Meiniang that I wanted to withdraw from the court..." Di Renjie was not surprised, "Brother Lan has always disliked the court. If he were an ordinary person, ...It is easy to quit and hard to enter an official position, but Brother Lan is just the opposite, I am afraid that I will anger the empress..."

Lan Yuheng picked up the wine glass and the two toasted each other. "What does Brother Di mean by this?" Di Renjie looked at Mu Qianqian and the others who were chatting with his wife over there. "My wife has very few available people around her now. It can even be said that Almost not. If something goes wrong, the situation will inevitably get out of control... And the only person I can trust is you, Brother Lan. If you leave like this, it will be like a boat in the river losing its oars... I'm afraid. Failure to get consent will lead to reprimand, not to mention the empress’s mood swings during extraordinary times, so don’t provoke her..."

The corner of Lan Yuheng's mouth twitched, "Does Brother Di mean that I have to stay in the court for the rest of my life? You can also see that Wu Meiniang's mood is ups and downs. Maybe she will operate on me that day?" Di Renjie smiled bitterly. Silently, it was obvious that even he didn't know how to answer this kind of question...

"Forget about drinking..." Lan Yuheng raised his glass and stopped embarrassing Di Renjie...

"Sister, your husband-in-law is a strange man. You have found the right person." Ms. Cui said with a smile. Mu Qianqian and Xiao'e's vanity suddenly rose. The latter nodded and said, "No, my uncle is the most beautiful person in the world." Good sir!"

Cui's face looked strange, what is this world? Of course, only Lan Yuheng's ladies know this. After all, Lan Yuheng tells Yu'er stories whenever he has time, and brags in front of his ladies that he is the best in the world from time to time. Naturally, they will join in. Listen to it

Mu Yu'er smiled and said, "But my Yuheng is good at everything, but not as dedicated as Mr. Di. After all, you are the only lady, Mr. Di, right?" Ms. Cui couldn't help but laugh, and she shook her head. Several people are confused

Mrs. Cui smiled and said, "My husband also has two concubines, but he didn't bring them out." Several people looked strange. Mu Qianqian couldn't help but cover her mouth and said with a smile, "It seems that Mr. Di and my husband have similar interests in this regard." "

Several people couldn't help laughing, causing Lan Yuheng and Di Renjie to look sideways. Di Renjie looked at the sky. The two of them had been chatting until the evening before they knew it. Di Renjie stood up and said, "Brother Lan is here today." , come to Pengze to find me when you have time, and I will refill your cup then."
