Kangxi took the fourth elder brother, fifth elder brother and Shi Yangui in the car, and the third elder brother rode a horse with the prince and eldest elder brother.The third elder brother watched the fourth elder brother get into the carriage, and felt envious in his heart. Forget about Xiao Wu, and Xiao Si is obviously only one year younger than him, so why can Xiao Si also ride in the carriage.Riding a horse looks handsome, but it's actually eating sand, which is where the word dusty comes from.He really wanted to sit in the comfortable carriage, talk and eat snacks with Khan Ama.

In the carriage, Kangxi was taking an examination of Shi Yangui's knowledge at the school, and Shi Yangui answered the questions fluently, neither humble nor overbearing.

Kangxi smiled with satisfaction: "You look like your father calm and calm, but inside you are somewhat like your grandfather."

Shi Yangui didn't know what Kangxi meant, so he could only reply: "Yangui, thank you for your compliment."

"Did the elders in your family ever pick up characters for you?" Kangxi asked.

"If you go back to the emperor, Yangui has not yet reached the age, so the elders in the family have not taken the characters."

"Then I'll get you one." Kangxi pondered for a moment, looked at Shi Yangui, "Let's just take the word Changli, how about it?"

"Thank you, Changli, for your words." Shi Yangui watched the emperor turn around and start talking to the fourth elder brother, and fell into silence quietly.

The extended meaning is long, and Gui is a kind of jade article used by emperors and princes in ceremonies.The word Changli seems to have no special meaning, but Wang Yucheng of the Song Dynasty has a five-character rhythm, in which there is a sentence "As long as you have support for your in-laws, there is no loss for doing Changli", and the title of this poem is "Sense of Exile". thing".

Where did the word Changli come from?The emperor is proficient in sinology, does he know this poem?

"Khan Ama, we are here." The fifth elder brother jumped out of the car, "Ama, I will help you."

Kangxi came down with the strength from his hand and touched his head: "Don't be jumping around all the time, you are not stable at all. What should you do if you fall down?"

"Yes, Khan Ama, Yinqi knows he's wrong. Let's go in." The fifth elder brother looked at Kangxi with pitiful eyes.

"Forget it, let's go." Kangxi shook his head.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry received the news that Wansui and several elder brothers were coming, but he was a little confused, so he could only face forward with a shy face: "Long live, I wonder how many elder brothers you brought to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry? "

"I heard that you have a Yuanwailang named Zhang Bao, please call him out." Kangxi entered the yamen, picked up tea, and took a light sip.

"Yes, yes, I will go now, my servant, and I will call Zhang Baolai in person." The Minister of the Ministry of Industry hurriedly withdrew.This Zhang Bao caused trouble for him again. Last time, he secretly called some people to work on something. If it wasn't for his Ama's sake, he would have been kicked out of the Ministry of Industry.Long Live Lord came in person this time, and brought so many little elder brothers, what is this called?

The fifth elder brother curled his lips in disdain.

The prince knew what the kid was thinking at a glance, and he immediately gave Fifth Prince a look.

Xiao Wu must have looked down on these servile bastards. This child has been a little noble since he was a child, but his kind of nobility is not quite the same as other people.Others pay attention to status, but Xiaowu is good. He only wants to get along with others on an equal footing. He has no hierarchy at all, and he doesn't know where he got his strange temper.

He uses eunuchs and maids, but only as people who take care of him.Just look at Xiaowu's companion named Shi Yangui, who actually sits and eats with the master, and eats at the same table. On the surface, he does a good job of following the rules.He and Han Ama had noticed it a long time ago, but Xiao Wu was not completely soft-tempered, so he followed him.In the past two years, Xiao Wu has made some progress, but it's a pity that he is still a little naive.

Kangxi looked at the eyebrows and eyes of the two brothers and ignored them.Looking at Zhang Bao brought by Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, he is tall and powerful, not like a craftsman, but like a frontier soldier.

Zhang Bao kowtowed: "Wailang Tara Zhang Bao, a member of the Weichen Ministry of Industry, kowtowed to the emperor."

"You are Zhang Bao? Your father is Buyanu? I remember that he was transferred to Shaanxi as the governor last year." Kangxi said lightly.

"Yes, my father is Buyanu."

"Get up. Your father is a good man." Kangxi picked up the teacup, "I heard from Shi Yangui that you made a thing called cement, which will become hard when exposed to water. But there is such a thing?"

"If you go back to the emperor, there is indeed such a thing." Zhang Bao was puzzled, he didn't expect the emperor to go out of the palace for such a trivial matter.

The prescription and method were all given by Xiao Ru, if she was a man, maybe she could ask for a reward for her.It's a pity that the Manchus have been in the customs for a long time now, and the Sinicization is getting worse, especially for women.Although his family was fairly open-minded, he couldn't suppress the rumors outside, so he, Ama, had the cheek to admit it.

"Take me to have a look. If this cement is really useful, you have made a great contribution, and I will reward you a lot." Kangxi put down the teacup.

"It's salted in the workshop, and I used this cement to build a new pavilion in the garden of my home. Why don't I take the emperor to have a look." Zhang Bao was a little nervous.

"Alright, then let's go to your house. It just so happens that it's time for lunch, so I'll come to your house for a quick meal."

"Yes, please come from the emperor's side." Zhang Bao said hastily, and quietly wiped the sweat from his brow.

Sitting in the carriage again, the fifth elder brother was a little excited. Will he see Xiaoru?

"What? Little Wu looks very happy? Have you been to the Minister's Mansion before?" Kangxi looked amused when he saw that Brother Wu couldn't sit still.

"Yes. Khan Ama, do you still remember that you promised me to go out of the palace last year? That time I came to the Minister's Mansion. Yangui's aunt is from the south and likes to eat Fujian cuisine. So the dishes in the mansion have some southern characteristics, although not What delicacies from mountains and seas, but it also has a special flavor." Fifth elder brother laughed quickly.

"Since that's the case, then I'm going to have a good taste." Kangxi glanced at Shi Yangui who was kneeling in the corner, "Changli must give us a good introduction."

Shi Yangui replied: "Yes, Cao Min complies."

The fifth elder brother got off the carriage, and all the masters and servants of the servant's mansion knelt outside the gate to pick him up.He saw his little Ru, his lover in the previous life, kneeling behind Mrs. Zhang Bao.The fifth elder brother felt a pain in his heart, this is the imperial power.His little girl was supposed to be in the laboratory doing research he would never understand, or in the university library on winter afternoons reading the historical expositions she never tired of reading.Instead of kneeling in front of him and lowering her proud head like now.

"Get up. Zhang Bao, lead the way." Kangxi said lightly.

"Yes, the emperor and elder brothers are here." Zhang Bao led them into the small garden of the Minister's Mansion.

Kangxi took a closer look at the pavilion, it was plain and ordinary, but the ground was paved with pebbles of various colors, some made up flowers, some birds, some cats, it was a bit wild.

Sitting down, Kangxi saw the huge tree root used as a table, and suddenly realized that it didn't seem to be real wood, so he asked Zhang Bao: "This is interesting, it is also made of cement."

"Back to the emperor's words. What the emperor said is that the tree root table is indeed made of cement. Good root carvings are hard to find, and they are easy to damage trees. So I ordered someone to make a rough mold with bricks and stones, and then use cement to fill it in." Modifications, and some paint at the end, can make it look like real ones."

"Well, it's really a bit of ingenuity." Kangxi nodded.

Zhang Bao added: "However, the biggest use of this cement is to use it as an adhesive for building houses. It is mixed with fine sand and adjusted to a certain proportion. It is best used to stick red bricks. It will take four or five days. , the cement will dry completely, making the wall firm.”

Zhang Bao pointed to the small road that brought Kangxi in just now: "Your Majesty, this road is also made of cement, and it is very smooth. The most important thing is that this cement is made of sandstone and lime, and the cost is low. Ordinary common people can also afford it, which is really beneficial to the people.”

Kangxi nodded: "It seems that this cement is indeed useful. Please write a detailed charter and hand it over. At that time, a cement workshop will be set up from the engineering department to study the various characteristics of this cement in detail. If you do well, I will naturally reward you a lot. .”

"Yes, my humble minister would like to thank the emperor for his appreciation, but this humble minister—"

"Huh?" Kangxi made a nasal sound.

"Khan Ama, Mr. Zhang Bao is just a member of the foreigner, with a sixth-rank official residence, and is not qualified to hand in a son. And General Buyanu is in Shaanxi." The fifth elder brother hurriedly rescued his future father-in-law.

"Then you write it, tell the Minister of the Ministry of Industry when it's time, and ask him to help pass it up." Kangxi glanced at the fifth elder brother, when did this kid become so warm-hearted, probably because his little companion read Shi Yangui.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Bao bowed to Fifth Elder Brother again, "Thank you Fifth Elder Brother."

The fifth elder brother controlled his instinct to avoid Zhang Bao's salute, and accepted the salute abruptly.

In order to avoid embarrassment, the fifth elder brother changed the subject: "Master Zhang Bao, I'm a little hungry, when will you have dinner at your house?"

"I just sent someone to report that lunch is ready. Please come to the Xiaohua hall to have a meal, Lord Long Live and all the elder brothers."

Everyone enjoyed a lunch and took a rest in the guest courtyard of the Minister's Mansion.

"The food in this house is delicious, but it's a bit petty and overly refined. No wonder Xiao Wu said it looks like southern food. Fortunately, we also have a few dishes that we often eat in the north." Big brother complained.

"China has a vast land and abundant resources, and the local cuisines are different. The northerners are rough and refreshing, so even the dishes are served on larger plates. The southerners are elegant and refined, so even the southern dishes are more refined. It's just that the habits of different places are different." Fifth elder brother laughed.

"Well, but our own dishes are delicious, and the outside ones are just for fun." The elder brother replied.

Khan Ama, the prince and the third elder brother all went to rest in the house.The fourth elder brother was reading a book.The elder brother fiddled with the chess pieces on the chessboard boredly.

"Big Brother, Fourth Brother, please ask Yangui to keep my dog ​​in this house, I want to go and see it." The fifth elder brother looked at the eldest brother and the fourth elder brother.

"Understood, if Khan Ama asks, we will explain it for you." The elder brother said.The fourth elder brother on the side nodded.

"Thank you two brothers." Fifth elder brother cupped his hands.

"Call the servants in this mansion and ask them to guide you. Don't get lost." Fourth elder brother reminded.

"Okay, I see, fourth brother." Fifth elder brother smiled.

The fifth elder brother walked into the kennel built in the garden under the leadership of the servants of the minister's mansion.

There stood a girl, and he watched her turn to reveal the face of his dream.

Fifth elder brother heard his own voice trembling slightly: "Xiao Ru."
