Good Life in Qin Dynasty

"How do you let me enter the palace?" Li Jiyang pointed to himself.

He has no official position, no noble title, and only a small person, so he is going to enter the palace just like that!

"You are my aunt's godson, um, my godbrother!" Ying Zheng patted his little shoulder and said, "Although the king's father has never met you, he is no stranger to you."

The things Li Jiyang gave were all good things, and another family died, leaving only a little nephew who was less than three years old. Daqin is not to say that such a family can be found everywhere, but it can be regarded as the only one. .

"Then goddamn brother, you have to protect me!" Li Jiyang simply shameless, calling the first emperor brothers and sisters, this feeling is so cool!

"Well, I'll protect you." Ying Zheng nodded seriously.

Li Jiyang was happy.

After a long time, Li Jiyang realized that the weight of Ying Zheng's words at that time represented his lifelong protection, and he really protected him.

Li Jiyang didn't know now, so he took Ying Zheng out to look at things: "Let me tell you, my senior brother came over a few days ago, and my master brought me a lot of things!"

"Really?" Ying Zheng was also curious, what is the origin of Li Jiyang's mysterious master and brother?

"Also, my senior brother saw a doctor for Mr. Gan and prescribed a prescription. Mr. Gan can do morning exercises now." Li Jiyang said mysteriously: "He is so smart, and he will be your brain truster in the future!"

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up: "He, is he alright?"

"En!", Li Jiyang nodded fiercely: "Now we have subdued him, if we don't help you well, we will have to bury him!"

Why did Li Jiyang take the risk of being exposed to cure him?Because he is a talent!

He wanted to recruit Gan Lei to work for Yingzheng. People who have enemies with other countries are not easy to be bribed, so they are not afraid of him coming back.

As long as there is no reversal, in this era, he can only rely on Ying Zheng. He can be said to have the grace of saving lives and rebuilding the father and son.

If he really treats Ying Zheng and him badly in the future, he will shake off. Who would dare to use someone who can even deal with a lifesaver?

Personal credit is very important in this era. It can be said that although people are full of wisdom, they are honest. Compared with things like people cheating insurance in later generations, personal credit in this era is still worthy of trust, and everyone claims to be a gentleman. Those who care about reputation are related to their future.

Because of the bad reputation of Qin State, talents did not come, because the earliest reform of Shang Yang in Qin State successfully laid the foundation of the legal system, but what about Shang Yang himself?How is the result?Let's not talk about the far ones, but the near ones. Gan Lei's father, Gan Mao, is one of them.

During the Warring States period, the reputation of Qin State was very bad. Although Qin State tried hard, Qin State did the job of "killing the donkey" more than once. Everyone didn't want to waste a lot of effort and gamble their own future. In the end, no one Good end.

So Li Jiyang didn't ask Gan Lei to be loyal to Qin, he first gave Gan Lei kindness, of course, when the time was right, he would tell him that the main ingredients in these medicines were specially found by the eldest son for him!

At that time, it will be seen that he will not be ashamed of Ying Zheng!

"Are you assisting me now?" Ying Zheng was not sure at first, but when he saw Li Jiyang, he suddenly became sure.

Maybe Xiaoyang supported him from the very beginning when he gave them things?

"That's it!" Li Jiyang said triumphantly, "Who made us hit it off!"

Ying Zheng laughed.

"I want to meet the king, so I should prepare some gifts!" Li Jiyang pulled him up and went to the warehouse in the backyard.

The warehouse is already full of things, including some unused ones brought last time, and large boxes and small boxes brought this time.

As soon as Li Jiyang came, everyone else went out, and Ying Zheng's guards stood guard at the door.

Butler Li Zhong sent people to cook, boil water, etc., and take a look at the house managed by Li Xiang. "What do you think I should send?" Li Jiyang opened a large box, took out a small box, and opened it again , inside is a crystal disc, the crystal chamber is clear.

If you want Li Jiyang to say, this is like a handicraft of later generations, but the raw material is more expensive, and it is really carved out of crystal stone.

He looked normal, but Ying Zheng had never seen him before!

"What is this?" Ying Zheng trembled a little as he spoke.

"Crystal disc, use it to hold fruit, or put ice cubes in summer, it looks good!" Li Jiyang put it around, picked it up and handed it to Ying Zheng: "Do you like it?"

"I've never seen it before!" Ying Zheng took it carefully.

The crystal is cold to the touch, but Ying Zheng's heart is very hot. This is a treasure, so Xiao Yang just gave it to him!

"Oh, there's more here. I remember there's a set of zodiac ornaments? That one looks better!" Li Jiyang opened the box of crystal products for Ying Zheng to see.

Ying Zheng was dumbfounded!

One is a rare treasure, two are treasures, three are rare, four are rare, and after five, there is only surprise left!

In other words, if there are too many good things, they are worthless.

Li Jiyang showed Ying Zheng a big box of crystal products in one go. If the crystal ball wasn't too weird, he would have wanted to get the crystal ball out too.

Especially the set of Chinese zodiac ornaments, which were so exquisitely carved that Ying Zheng's eyes widened when he saw it—"There is something else!" Li Jiyang took a small crystal tripod, and the two sides of the small tripod used The cloud pattern is still a Sihe cloud pattern, with an engraved dragon-shaped figure in the middle.

Most of the moiré patterns symbolize promotion or wishful thinking, and are widely used, mostly as foil patterns.

Although the dragon-shaped figure in the middle is incised, it is exquisitely carved, and every detail must be seen!

Moiré is often called "Qingyun or five-color cloud, Jingyun and Qingyun" in traditional concepts.

In ancient times, it was considered auspicious.

"Han Book of Rites and Music" Suburb Song: "The dew falls, and the clouds gather." And the astronomical records: "If the smoke is not smoke, if the cloud is not cloud, Yu Yufen, Xiao Suolun. It is called Qingyun, and joy is also .”

The most important thing is, "The Book of Filial Piety · Granting the Gods": "When the virtue reaches the mountains, auspicious clouds will come out; when the virtue reaches the deep springs, the yellow dragon will see."

At this time, in addition to eating, the tripod is also used for sacrifices!

Although the small crystal tripod is not a yellow dragon, it is light yellow, and this small tripod is so exquisitely made, it must not be used to hold barbecue, so it can only be used to worship the Taimiao!

It's the same treatment as the colorful jade that Li Jiyang gave before!

Li Jiyang memorized the book for Ying Zheng: "The benefits of this thing are endless, what do you think of it as a meeting gift for the king?"

"Very good." Ying Zheng touched the small cauldron, the tentacles were icy cold, but the chill didn't penetrate to the bones.

"That's it!" Li Jiyang put him into a small box.

Then there are all kinds of crystal ornaments, with different meanings, and all kinds of crystal jewelry: "This is for the godmother!"

Basically, any of the best jewelry in Li Jiyang's family was given to Zhao Ji, so that after Zhao Ji entered the palace, there were eight boxes for jewelry alone, and a box for earrings alone, all kinds of things!

"Did you know? There are rumors in the palace that A Niang's jewelry can be worn for a year without repeating it!" Ying Zheng watched Li Jiyang pack up those crystal jewelry and pack them all for A Niang, and Xiao Yang was really willing to do so.

"Although it's not true, I'm very happy. This shows that the godmother is living a very good life in the palace. There is no shortage of clothes and jewelry, and no shortage of money." Li Jiyang was very happy when he heard that.

Anyone who has studied history knows that no matter whether it is official history or records, the harem is rarely mentioned, unless there are major changes in the harem.

For example, Lu Zhi's dictatorship, Empress Wu's accession to the throne, Cixi's curtain and so on.

Basically, it is only the women in the harem who have emerged in the previous dynasty that will record their deeds, and the rest are rarely mentioned, especially in terms of life.

Even in the Qing Dynasty, which is the closest to modern times, the records about the harem are very formulaic, and there will never be detailed records. He also wants to know what the ancient harem looked like.

I guessed it before, or, just like in the novel, all kinds of intrigues, conspiracies and tricks, women are smarter than each other!

Or, it’s just everyone’s imagination, and many people agree with this point, because in ancient times, especially in the Warring States Period, women were not even counted in population statistics, so that once a man became a man, he would generate taxes.

After the girl reaches Ji, she is waiting to marry and have children!

So Li Jiyang is always afraid that Ying Zheng will live a hard life with Zhao Ji before he becomes a adult. He used to be out of control, but now he can't.

"Don't be all these valuables, some beans, wheat, etc., pick a big and plump one and bring two bags." The farmer sent this to signify a good harvest, and Ying Zheng wanted to save Li Jiyang some money.

"This is no problem, by the way, do you want to send the tofu?" Li Jiyang thought this is a good opportunity!

Can make tofu ahead of time.

In fact, only the poor and livestock eat soybeans at this time, and the nobles don't eat them, because they can't help but make their stomachs bloated after being ground into powder, and it's very indecent!

If you eat too much soybeans, you will fart!

Just like radishes, if you eat too much, you will breathe!

"Give it up. Last time, Auntie said that the food in the palace is not as good as that in Lijiazhuang." Ying Zheng touched a citrine necklace.

The necklace is made of citrine beads, and a delicately carved peony flower hangs below it.

In fact, A Niang also misses Xiaoyang. Whenever the seasons change, she will choose clothing materials and make them for herself, Xiaoyang, and Lixin, and finally go to the father of the king.

Judging from the rankings, Ying Zheng knew that in A Niang's heart, he was the most important, followed by Xiao Yang, then Xiao Li Xin, and finally, the king's father.

"Alright!" Li Jiyang immediately agreed.

To be honest, he wanted to announce it a long time ago, but he had no chance!

From choosing gifts for the king, to grinding the small stones and preparing the things for making tofu, Li Jiyang had to bring two people who could make tofu.

Everyone in Li Jiyang knows it, but they don't let outsiders know about it!

Ever since he knew that Li Jiyang was going to bring someone into the palace, Steward Li Zhong had a lot of clues, so he didn't know who to choose!

"Let's go, Li Xiang!" Li Jiyang called the names: "You two are father and son. You just go in and make tofu. We have to come out after we are done! And we may not be able to see the king."

A tofu maker probably won't be called, so don't be so excited.

Li Jiyang thought very well, but Butler Li Zhong was still very excited: "That's the palace!"

For Li Jiyang, the royal palace is a building, at most a building worth studying, but in the eyes of Butler Li Zhong, it is heaven!

Even if you can't see the king, it's an honor to go to the palace!

Ying Zheng was holding on to the door frame and couldn't help laughing. The old housekeeper Li Zhong was very interesting. He just found someone to make new clothes for himself and his second son, from inside to outside, from head to toe. At night, it wasn't even time to take a bath. , but also took the second son to take a bath in a daze!

Li Xiang, who hasn't been close to his father since he was a child, has goosebumps all over his body!

His father pays more attention to him in one day than he has paid attention to since he was born!

And his dad wants to take a bath with him!

Li Xiang collapsed: "Father, you should rest for a while!"

Ying Zheng dragged Li Jiyang to watch the fun again, making Li Jiyang laugh!

The two of them hugged the tree trunk together and laughed until their stomach hurt.

In addition, the most nervous person turned out to be Zhao Ji in the palace!

"Get the mat ready. If Young Master Li comes, remember to put it in front of him, and use it when kneeling." Mrs. Zhao Ji was in the palace, instructing the little maid in her palace.

"No!" The little maid hurriedly carried the thick cushion in her hand, planning to sleep with it at night.

"The food tripod, food plate, and bamboo chopsticks for Young Master Li have all been boiled in boiling water, and the water for drinking must also be boiled." He also instructed the maids in his palace.

"No!" The maid in charge of meals nodded quickly.
