Little wealth

"emperor."

"Aiqing, why are you still following me? Is the Ministry of Industry so free?"

Emperor Kang Ning glanced at the old man Yan who was still following behind him, with a face like you don't go to the Ministry of Industry to work for me, what do you want to do after me?

"Your Majesty, I have a few words I want to say to you, Your Majesty." The old man Yan pretended not to see the naked dislike in their king's eyes, and pretended to inadvertently tell their king about the girl they met in Anyang Town. A carpenter praised Carpenter Zhao for his good craftsmanship, and selflessly (communicated by him) handed over the method of making iron frames.

Their iron carts were made thanks to that carpenter Zhao. Mr. Yan wanted to help Master Zhao ask for some favors from their emperor.

"Your Majesty, it's a pity that such a good carpenter doesn't invite us to work in the Ministry of Industry." What old man Yan likes is Master Zhao's whimsy. If such a person is recruited into their Ministry of Industry, they The Ministry of Industry is like a tiger with wings added, "Your Majesty, why don't we recruit that Master Zhao to work in the Ministry of Industry?"

"Then why didn't you bring the man back?" asked the emperor.

"Isn't this..." Old Man Yan was left speechless by the question, of course it wasn't that he didn't want to bring people to the capital, but that Master Zhao's brain was a lump of elm, and he didn't care about the prosperity and wealth of the capital. If he wanted to stay in that remote mountain village, what could he do? !

If he had a way, he would have brought him back to Kyoto at that time!

When Emperor Kang Ning saw this old man, he knew that the old man hadn't tricked anyone to come to the capital, and wanted him to find a way to get him to the capital. He really thought that the emperor had nothing to do every day? "You figure it out on your own."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Isn't that because he couldn't think of a way!If he had a way, he wouldn't have returned with Master Xu empty-handed!Mr. Yan still didn't give up, and continued to talk about that carpenter Zhao, and how many people there were in that carpenter Zhao's family, how good-looking and virtuous his husband was, and how similar his husband's appearance was to him. Their queens are very imaginative.

Mr. Yan stroked the white beard on his chin, and said with a sigh: "There are people who look so similar in the world, it's really a wonder in the world."

"Oh, there is such a thing?" Emperor Kang Ning remembered the family affairs that the queen had told him, and it seemed that he would ask the queen when he went back.

"Yes, it's just that there is such a thing. When I saw the husband of the Zhao family, I thought I saw the queen himself." When it comes to this matter, Mr. Yan also feels strange, "If you say that the husband Lang is the brother of our queen's family... No, no, the old minister said something wrong, our queen has a noble status, how could he be brothers with a husband from the countryside."

"I've finished listening to what you said today. Aiqing, go back. I'll talk about what you have to say tomorrow." Walking to the entrance of the harem, Emperor Kang Ning waved his hand, telling old man Yan to cool off, and not to hinder him from going back to see the queen and children .

The six of them are the most important institutions in the whole Daliang. Can anyone just enter it?A mere little carpenter... Although this little carpenter gave the method of making an iron car, he is really a talent.

If it is said that he has been in power for so many years, in order to save himself from doing a little work, he is doing his best to enslave these courtiers to help him as the emperor.

But now the emperor's mind is full of queens and children, so he doesn't care about carpenters or carpenters.

"..." Lord Yan, who had been used up, was full of anger and dared not speak. He could only watch helplessly as the emperor left with his people, and in the end he didn't even leave his back.

***

The emperor himself, who returned to the harem, took the information he got from Mr. Yan to please his queen. The husband and wife hugged each other and talked there, and the two children were playing in the garden, while the palace servants nearby were watching.

"I remember that you once said that a younger brother in your family was abducted. Tell me, does the elder brother that Master Yan saw have anything to do with you?" , mentioned that a younger brother was abducted when he was young.At that time, when he heard Lord Yan's words, he already had some guesses in his heart.

"This... is it true? Where did Lord Yan meet that brother?" Sun Yimeng grabbed the emperor's hand and asked.

"Don't get excited, calm down." Emperor Kang Ning grabbed the Queen's hand, and didn't feel that the Queen's behavior towards him as an emperor was presumptuous, and held Fu Lang's hands in his palms, "Look at you , my hands are so cold, I don’t know how to put on an extra layer of clothes when I go out.”

The palace man came over with a cloak in his hand, and Emperor Kangning took the cloak, put it on for his queen himself, and tied the belt.

"Your Majesty..." Sun Yi glared at this man who knew he was anxious, but deliberately refused to talk to him.

"Hehe, don't worry, queen. Lord Yan saw it in Anyang, where old Fu is now the county magistrate." As if he had expected what his queen would say, the emperor smiled and said "Don't worry, my queen, I have already sent someone to help you investigate this matter. If that brother really has something to do with your family, I will ask someone to bring them to the capital to see you."

"Well, thank you, Your Majesty." The Empress hugged the man in front of her, feeling both nervous and anticipating. They had too much expectation and disappointment... just don't know this time, will that brother be the one they want? looking for someone.

As soon as the light snow passes, it becomes colder and colder day by day.The leaves on the tree were withered and yellow one by one, and when the wind blew, they fell like a shower of rain.

When I get up in the morning and go out, I have to put on a thick cotton jacket outside.

The children in their family put on newly made bright red cotton-padded jackets and red yarmulke hats, the sides hanging down just enough to cover the ears and half of the little cheeks, and there are two little balls hanging from the bottom.

The small body is roundly dressed, and it is too cute to run.

"Daddy, Daddy!"

"Hey, I see!"

The dried persimmons they have kept for so many days can finally be opened!

As soon as the lid was opened, the surface of the persimmons in the jar was covered with a white layer of frost. Josh took out a persimmon and broke it in half. He could smell the sugary scent of persimmons, so he handed one half over to him. Amu, "Amu, how about you try this persimmon?"

"Yes." Ah Nian tugged at the hem of his father's clothes, he wanted it too.

"Ah..." Seeing his son's anxious appearance, Josh couldn't help laughing, pinched a little and stuffed it into his son's little mouth.Seeing his mother and the child eating, while watching his mother asked, breaking some persimmons into his own mouth, "How is it? Is it delicious?"

"Well, it's delicious! It's soft and sticky, and it's different from the fresh persimmons we usually eat." The taste of the persimmons in the mouth is soft and chewy, which is not the same as the fresh persimmons they usually eat. Similarly, Zhao Amu fell in love with this persimmon almost after taking the first bite.

Josh himself felt good after eating, and asked, "Is that fresh and delicious, or this delicious?"

"This is delicious." The answer was almost without hesitation.

Zhao Amu finished eating the half of the dried persimmons in her hand, reached out and brought up another one, and distributed some to Aqiu and Caiyun who were following behind, "Try it too, these are the dried persimmons we made that day. "

Both Caiyun and Aqiu reached out to pick up the dried persimmons, and they both said they were delicious after eating.

"Stay these persimmons, we can eat them all winter. Aunt, do you want to give some to someone?" There are two jars of persimmons, one is a bit softer, and the other is a bit harder, compared to Josh's. He likes to eat hanging persimmons. He intentionally tans them to make them less dry, so that the taste is better, but they can’t be stored for too long, so they should be eaten first.

Although the persimmons were delicious, Josh didn't dare to eat too much, so he took another half of the persimmons for himself, and he didn't take any more after eating half.

After asking others not to, he put the lid back on.

It's just that the little guy stuffed something into his mouth in a hurry and asked for it, but after he glanced at it, he didn't dare to make a sound.

"Come on, Ah, there are more here, for grandson." Zhao Amu glanced at his daughter-in-law, gave half of the dried persimmons in his hand to the grandson, touched the grandson's head, let the grandson play, and turned his head He continued to talk to his daughter-in-law: "When the time comes, send a few to the village chief, as well as the other side of our clan, and the others are unnecessary."

His family has not had much contact with other relatives and friends in recent years. If you are poor, you have no relatives. When you become rich one day, your relatives and friends will all come back, but at this time he doesn't want to pay attention to those people.

In this regard, the two daughters-in-law are quite similar to him. They live their own lives behind closed doors and have little to do with others.

"It's you, do you want to send some to the town?"

Josh knew which one his mother was asking about, and said, "Yes, but there's no rush. I'm thinking of making some bacon together and sending them together." The persimmon vinegar in the tank was not so fast yet, I still have to wait for his persimmon vinegar to be delivered.

They can't afford to give away things that are too expensive, so they can only give some rare ones that others don't have.Otherwise, when Bai Luoxi asked someone to pull a cart of things over again, they didn't even get the salute. If it happened once or twice, it would appear that they were taking advantage of others too much, and he didn't want to do that.

He is a person, whether you say he is noble or caress too much, but he is not used to taking advantage of others.He thinks, whether it’s between relatives or friends, you have to come back when someone has something to do with you, even if you don’t have to return something every time someone gives you something, but at least once when someone gives you something, you have to return it once, right?

Otherwise, no matter how good the relationship is, it will always be nothing. Over time, others will always have opinions, and the relationship between each other will be contradictory because of this.

"Isn't it Ah Yan's birthday in two days? I'm going to cook a few dishes at home and ask Uncle Chen to come over to our house for dinner." Josh remembered that when the child was born last time, he just asked everyone's questions. Birthday, remember that Chen Yan's birthday is at the end of October.

Zhao Amu forgot about it, and said: "If you don't tell me, I don't remember these things. Fortunately, you do. If this is the case, let's make a table of meals and ask his father to come to our place for a meal together." Bar."

"Well, well, I'll let them close the store early and come back that day."

The two discussed a few more words on this matter, and then they made an appointment to cook and eat that day.
