I am a ruler in troubled times

Song Peiyu walked out of the palace, only feeling refreshed.

Even the situation where it was difficult to cheer up after being drunk, it was much better.

It's a pity that Chong Yi wasted a lot of time. If I take King Xiang to Wenquan Zhuangzi at this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the city before the curfew.

Song Peiyu was not surprised that he didn't see Lu Jihe's carriage outside the palace gate. With Lu Jihe's temper, it would be strange to condescend to wait for him outside the palace gate.

Song Peiyu stepped on the stool to get into her carriage, and casually ordered Jin Bao who was guarding the carriage, "Which teahouse did Brother Lu go to rest? Let's go find him first."

When Jin Bao heard this, his eyes widened in surprise, and he whispered, "Chunya told me that you will be on duty in the East Palace today, and Master Lu is taking King Xiang to Wenquan Zhuang first, and he is going to take away my sign."

Without the brand of Jinbao, Song Peiyu's Zhuangzi will not receive outsiders.

"Heh" Song Peiyu laughed angrily.

This temper is really worthy of Lu Jihe.

After all, it was his fault, and Song Peiyu was not good at haggling with Lu Jihe. He waved his hand and said to Jin Bao, "Let's go, let's go to Honglu Temple."

Honglu Temple and Honglu Temple Minister, no matter what they think, he and Lu Jihe can't stop showing up at Honglu Temple.

After Jin Bao heard the words, he didn't get out of the carriage immediately. He pointed to the small wooden box on the table and said honestly, "Before Master Lu left, he left his official book and official seal, saying that if the master can come out of the East Palace in advance, Go to Honglu Temple to get a job, and help him enter the register by the way."

Song Peiyu looked at the wooden box on the table with disgust, and said with a sneer, "He can safely leave the official book and official seal with me, and he is not afraid that I will lose it by 'missing'."

After hearing this, Jin Bao knew that Song Peiyu had agreed.

After seeing Deng Xian, Minister of the Honglu Temple, Song Peiyu immediately had some impressions of the scene they first met three years ago, and sighed sincerely, "It's been a long time since I saw Mrs. Deng, and he still looks the same as before, and hasn't changed at all. "

Deng Xian, who was over fifty years old, couldn't help but smile when he heard Song Peiyu's words.

He knew that his abilities were limited, and he was able to be promoted to the rank of Honglu Temple Minister because the original old Honghe Temple Minister was in poor health. He really couldn't hold on, and there were not enough younger people.

Anyway, Zhao Guo didn't have any foreign guests to entertain, so the court brought him up to provide for the elderly.

His own role may not be as great as that of his family's gold leaf paper.

Therefore, Deng Xian not only had no objection to the sudden parachute of the two Honglu Temple young ministers, but welcomed them very much.

The two young ministers needed to have backgrounds and abilities, and Honglu Temple was just a springboard for them.

They will definitely go to the sixth movie in the future to fill more important and promising positions.

Even if the Honglu Temple Minister of the fourth rank is in front of them, they may not be willing to waste time looking at it.

Deng Xian understood that as long as he didn't take the initiative to provoke the two young ministers of Honghe Temple, Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe wouldn't bother to pay attention to him at all, let alone waste time chasing him.

These two young ministers don't pull him to 'distinguish right from wrong' when they are fighting each other, it is the blessing he cultivated in his previous life.

Deng Xian saw that Song Peiyu not only remembered him, but was willing to say hello to him, and was able to show Lu Jihe's official seal and official book, he smiled as happily as if he was hit on the head with gold when he went out.

He doesn't ask for anything now, he just asks these two ancestors, don't make trouble when Shang is working in Honglu Temple.

Deng Xian's temper was as good as letting others knead dough. No matter what Song Peiyu said, he would respond with a full mouth and immediately.

Instead, Song Peiyu couldn't talk to Deng Xian about the gold leaf paper.

If Deng Xian was misunderstood that he wanted to push forward, it would arouse Deng Xian's hostility and vigilance, and it might delay the official business of entertaining the envoys of Chu State.

So Song Peiyu didn't stay in Honglu Temple for too long.

He and Lu Jihe's official books and official seals were recorded in the general book of Honglu Temple, and all the people who were still in Honglu Temple were identified, so they left early under the pretext of still having something to do.

When Lu Jihe is free someday, they will invite colleagues from Honglu Temple out for a drink together.

It was rare to have a few more hours of free time. Before Song Peiyu had decided what to do, he heard that the stewards of Yinjing Zhuangzi and Bicycle Zhuangzi came to him and brought the latest samples from Zhuangzi.

This is the third batch of samples made by Silver Mirror and Bicycle Zhuangzi after Soong Peiyu instructed them respectively.

Song Peiyu first summoned the steward of Yinjing Zhuangzi.

The size of the silver mirror is preliminarily different. It can be held in the palm of a hand, and the round basin can be placed on the dowry. It is about the height of an adult. It is a full-length mirror that can fully reflect the figure of an adult.

In comparison, the process of the silver mirror from scratch can be regarded as the fastest in Song Peiyu's Zhuangzi, because Song Peiyu already knew the principle of the earliest silver mirror.

After solving the problem of obtaining high-purity tin and mercury, Yinjing Zhuangzi immediately made substantial progress.

It's a pity that Glass Zhuangzi still can't make perfect transparent glass, and it still turns gray or green. Although the silver mirror is made, the effect is still not satisfactory to Song Peiyu.

Song Peiyu first looked at the palm-sized hand mirror. After researching how to obtain high-purity tin some time ago, Zhuangzi unexpectedly discovered that high-purity tin is beneficial to refining copper with higher purity.

The case of the hand mirror is made of brass, at least when it is first made, it looks like real gold.

There were obvious gray marks on the mirror surface of the hand mirror. Song Peiyu looked at the strange yet familiar person in the mirror, feeling like looking at an old black and white photo.

Although compared with the bronze mirrors of this era, it can barely be regarded as clear, but it always feels strange, that is, the feeling of being out of the sun.

Song Peiyu shook her head, almost no longer had any hope for these mirrors.

But after he put down the hand mirror, he still asked the steward to bring the dowry mirror the size of a round basin.

After the black cloth was removed, Song Peiyu was surprised to find that the dowry mirror was much stronger than the hand mirror. At least in the mirror, the dark green finger on his hand showed a very positive color without turning gray.

When I went to look at the body mirror, the things reflected were clearer and fuller than the dowry mirror.

Whether Song Peiyu looked down at the dark blue clothes on her body or looked at the dark blue clothes on her body from the mirror, it was all the same color, and the color difference was almost non-existent.

Song Peiyu twirled the fingers in his hand, the surprise was beyond words, and curiously asked the manager of Yinjingzhuang who was standing there in awe, "Why is the effect of the big mirror better than the small mirror?"

When asking this question, Song Peiyu had already discovered the exaggerated thickness of the mirrors, two mirrors can be put together to form a cube.

He suddenly had a rough guess in his mind.

The steward bent down respectfully, bowed his head and said, "There are 55 primers applied to the body mirror, [-] primers can be applied to the dowry mirror, and only five primers can be applied to the hand mirror because it is too small."

Song Peiyu nodded.

In the final analysis, it is because the glass is not good. If you want to cover up the flaws on the glass, you can only apply more primer.

After pondering for a while, Song Peiyu had a choice in his mind.

He pointed to the bulky full-length mirror and said, "Produce a batch of these mirrors, the thickness should be the same, and the clarity can be good or bad."

The steward was stunned when he heard such an order.

"But..." Seeing that Song Peiyu didn't show any displeasure on his face, the manager dared to continue, "Master asked us to produce mirrors that are not clear enough, is it because some nobles can't accept the clearest appearance of the silver mirror?"

"What about the pricing?" The steward paused for a moment, and gently reminded, "If you want to keep the weight and thickness of all the mirrors the same, the cost of making unclear mirrors may exceed the cost of making clear mirrors."

It costs less money.

In the eyes of the steward, this is not a good deal.

Song Peiyu laughed, and he asked the steward, "Who said you want to sell those unclear full-length mirrors?"

The steward was stunned, and said subconsciously, "Then what do you want us to do with the blurry mirror?"

Of course, it is for people who buy clear mirrors.

Only when these people realize that the body-length mirror is hard to come by, will they be willing to pay for the body-length mirror.

From ancient times to the present, in the circle of the rich, the rarer and more expensive things are, the more sought after they are.

Just like Deng's gold leaf paper, and like Fragrant Court's soap.

Since the opening of the Qihuo City and the official sale of soap and colored glaze to the nine countries, Song Peiyu's Fragrant Court and Liulifang in Xianyang have become much deserted.

Although everyone still uses soap and goes to Liulifang to see the latest styles according to the seasons, they will not show the kind of enthusiasm that if they don’t buy it this time, they will never be able to buy it again.

Song Peiyu was sure that if the body mirror appeared in the public eye, even if it was sold at a high price of 1000 taels, there would be some aristocratic families who would buy it.But he can obviously sell the body-length mirror at a higher price and make customers flock to it.

One in a million, perfect as a prefix, body-length mirrors can not only double their value, but also make customers feel a sense of crisis.

Body mirrors are so precious, and production is extremely unstable. If you don’t buy them now, what should you do if you can’t buy them later?

In this way, Song Peiyu can quickly collect a sum of money in a short period of time.

He happened to be able to use the money earned by Silver Mirror to support a paper mill or a bicycle shop.

After selling the full-length mirror at a sky-high price, Song Peiyu will not lower the price of the full-length mirror no matter how much the process of making the silver mirror is improved in the future.

Otherwise, he would offend all the aristocratic families who bought sky-high price mirrors from him.

What's more, it is more beneficial for Song Peiyu to continue cutting the family's leeks if he kills him and does not lower the price

Just like he bought a mobile phone in his previous life.

Just imagine that people from aristocratic families spent 1000 taels of silver to buy a body mirror 1.0 to go back.

One year later, the body silver mirror 2.0 was born. As long as it is stronger than 1.0 in thickness, no matter whether Song Peiyu chooses to increase the price or sell 2.0 with a discount, there will be people who can't wait to buy back the latest product.

From then on, Lifetime Silver Mirror 3.0, Lifetime Silver Mirror 4.0... How to cut leeks is all up to Song Peiyu's will.

On the contrary, it is the dowry mirror and hand mirror that require more craftsmanship. Song Peiyu intends to set a price that can be affordable by ordinary people after the existing technology of making silver mirrors is further improved.

In this way, not only the quality of life of the people will be improved, but also the aristocratic family will be more proud of owning the mirror.

For so many years in this era, what Song Peiyu has learned most is the way of balance.

In particular, the lessons of the good breed gave Song Peiyu a deeper understanding of the relationship between the aristocratic family and the common people.

In a short period of time, Song Peiyu's plan for the silver mirror has already been thought of a few years later.

But he didn't intend to reveal too many thoughts to the manager of Yinjingzhuang now.

Song Peiyu put on a straight face, showing the majesty and unreasonableness of the master, "Don't ask too much, just follow my instructions. I will let Yinbao tell you how many perfect and flawed silver mirrors to make. "

If the blemishes are all similar, it will inevitably make people see the clues, or give people the illusion that the blemishes on the mirror are easy to solve.

Most of the people in Yinjingzhuang are craftsmen, including the stewards of Yinjingzhuang, who are also promoted from the front line of Liulifang.

Song Peiyu was not at ease with them, he had to plan himself, according to what ratio and method to manufacture defective products.

If there is time, he hopes that the shop selling silver mirrors will open before King Xiang returns to Chu.

Seeing Song Peiyu's downcast face, the manager of Yinjingzhuang did not dare to say any more. After answering Song Peiyu's few questions honestly, he kept all the silver mirrors that he brought to Tianhuju this time.

Then happily took several carriages back to Yinjingzhuang.

In the carriage are Song Peiyu's rewards to Yinjingzhuang.

This is the old practice of Tianhuju, as long as they can research something new, no matter what kind of Zhuangzi they are, everyone on Zhuangzi will be rewarded.

Song Peiyu was in a good mood after seeing the manager of Yinjingzhuang.

This good mood lasted until I saw the finished product brought by Bicycle Zhuangzi.

Song Peiyu almost didn't recognize it. The thing in front of him was a bicycle.

He admitted that he didn't have the talent to draw pictures, but he was far from being a soul painter. How could he let the steward of the bicycle dealer send him a... strange-shaped thing.

And what about the pedals?

How can a bicycle move forward without pedals?

Song Peiyu hid the countless questions properly, then motioned to the steward of the bicycle dealer with a deep expression, and showed him how to operate the bicycle.

Director Dong of Bicycle Zhuangzi nodded confidently.

After Steward Dong sat on the bicycle ready to go, with his back almost parallel to the ground, and holding the handlebar of the bicycle in a posture that made Song Peiyu look very uncomfortable, Song Peiyu discovered that he turned the head and tail of the bicycle from the beginning. I read it wrong.

Silently reflecting on her recklessness, Song Peiyu looked at Guanshi Dong's feet with burning eyes.

Director Dong was wearing the most common black cloth shoes, and the socks exposed on the feet had been stained grayish brown by the dust, which could not be called clean and tidy.

But Song Peiyu didn't mind at all, he just wanted to know how these feet turned nothing into something.Song Peiyu saw that Steward Dong's foot moved, it kicked hard on the ground, and then retracted with the strength of the kick, sticking to the bottom of the bicycle seat.

With the strength of Dong Guanshi's feet, the bicycle flew forward for a certain distance, and then the speed slowed down naturally.

The steward kicked his legs quickly and firmly again, and the bicycle that was about to stop jumped another distance.

Looking at this scene, Song Peiyu suddenly felt a little pain in her feet.

Although the way the stewards make the bicycle work, Song Peiyu finds it difficult to accept.

But he is very clear that his too advanced vision is a sharp double-edged sword.

So instead of jumping to conclusions right away, he asked the people who watched the bike show with him how they felt.

Jin Bao circled the bicycle several times, studied it carefully for a long time before opening his mouth, "I think this thing called a bicycle is suitable for running errands in Xianyang. It can almost match the speed of Xiao's full running without disturbing Pedestrians on the road."

"It would be great if the slaves could afford bicycles, so that the slaves could ride home by themselves. You don't have to wait for the concierge to be free. Every time you have to gather five people to go home, they will reluctantly go out." "And the number of people has increased, and the places where they live are also different, which means that the limited time of the five people is less compressed invisibly.

The person who said this was the second-class maid in Song Peiyu's yard. She was a maid bought from outside. She lives in the suburbs of Beijing and has two days of vacation every month. She uses her vacation every time to go home to visit her parents.

"I heard that some small escort agencies can't afford too many horses. For safety reasons, they can only reduce the number of people traveling. If bicycles are cheaper than horses, they should be willing to buy a batch."

……

Song Peiyu listened for a while, and found that no one thought there was anything wrong with the appearance of the bicycle. Almost everyone felt that the bicycle was very convenient. The only thing that could be called hesitation was because they were not sure about the price of the bicycle.

This was something they were too worried about. From the very beginning, Song Peiyu positioned the role of bicycles as convenient for ordinary people to travel.

According to conscience, in this era, oxen, horses and donkeys are far more useful than bicycles, so the price of bicycles must not exceed that of oxen, horses and donkeys.

With current technology, bicycles can only be made of hardwood.

As long as someone buys a bicycle, disassembles the bicycle into parts, and restores each part one by one, an identical bicycle can be made.

There are almost no techniques and secrets to speak of.

Song Peiyu never thought of earning money through bicycles.

Seeing that the bicycle was well received by everyone, Song Peiyu looked at the bicycle again and suddenly felt...it was still ugly, but somehow it felt ugly.

But he still couldn't accept that the bike didn't have pedals.

Although with the present technology, it is difficult to make a metal chain that links the two wheels of the bicycle and the pedals.

But what is there to say?

As long as the mind does not slip, there are more solutions than difficulties.

Liuli and silver mirrors do not belong to this era, and the finished products are also the result of bit by bit experimentation.

Song Peiyu asked people to use charcoal, paper and pens to compare the ugly and cute bicycles, and explained carefully to Director Dong the points about the bicycles that needed to be modified.

From the height of the bike's handlebars, to the pedals and chain, to the spacing of the bike's wheels...

After the sky completely darkened, Song Peiyu's voice became a little hoarse.

Although Dong Guanshi was not very flexible, the young man with him was very smart, and occasionally he could draw inferences and say something that surprised Song Peiyu.

Seeing that it was getting late, Song Peiyu asked the stewards and young men of the bicycle shop to stay in Tianhuju, and return to the bicycle shop tomorrow.

Only then did Song Peiyu know that Nanny Lai from Songhetang had been in Tianhuju for a long time.

Seeing that Song Peiyu was always busy, she didn't allow others to disturb Song Peiyu because of her arrival, and went to the small kitchen to ask for tea to pass the time.

Song Peiyu went directly to the small kitchen to find Nanny Lai, and learned that it was Mrs. Song who asked him if he had time to go to Songhetang for dinner.

"Seeing that Master Qi was busy, this old slave wanted to leave, but Yinbao always dragged me, saying that you would be free after finishing the affairs of the village, and refused to let me go no matter what." Madam Lai looked The eyes looking at Song Peiyu implied anticipation, obviously out of selfishness, he also wanted to invite Song Peiyu to Songhe Hall, so he waited all this time.Perhaps because she was afraid that Song Peiyu's business would be delayed, Nanny Lai specifically said, "It's no big deal for the old lady to see you, but she just thought that she hadn't had a good talk with you for a while, and she had some gossip to share with you. You If you don't have time today, it doesn't matter. When you are free, come to Songhe Hall to see the old lady. She has a lot of free time, so you can come."

Hearing Nanny Lai's words from his point of view, Song Peiyu couldn't hold her head up.

In fact, he has always known that Mrs. Song, including Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Liu, missed him, but never made time to talk to them properly.

Not having time is only one aspect, but the reason for the other aspect is only known to him.

He knew in his heart that as long as he met Mrs. Song, Mrs. Ye, and Mrs. Liu, they would definitely care about his marriage. He knew that he would definitely disobey their intentions, but he was still unwilling to make them sad.

In the final analysis, he was still avoiding talking openly and honestly with his family about his reluctance to marry a wife.

Song Peiyu told Nanny Lai to wait for him, went back to her room and changed her clothes again, and asked the maid in the room to choose accessories from Mrs. Song, Mrs. Ye, and Mrs. Liu to wear on her body.

After tidying up, Song Peiyu went to Songhe Hall with the beaming Nanny Lai.

Sure enough, as Song Peiyu expected, apart from Mrs. Song sitting on top with a smile, Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Liu were also there.

Mrs. Ye smiled and said, "I thought it was someone's young man who is so handsome and handsome, people would wish to abduct them home. Looking carefully, it turned out to be our Song Shaoqing."

Even if Song Peiyu is outside, he can deal with the old fox who has been immersed in officialdom for many years without losing the wind.Facing Mrs. Ye's jokes at home and Mrs. Song and Mrs. Liu's smiling eyes, I still feel at a loss.

Fortunately, Mrs. Ye still felt sorry for him after all. Hearing that Song Peiyu had been busy until now, she didn't even have tea and snacks, so she immediately asked Song Peiyu to take a seat and urged the small kitchen to make something easy to serve.

Song Peiyu would not deliberately be polite with his family, besides, he will have a tough battle to fight later, how can he do it without filling his stomach.

Sure enough, after eating and drinking, as soon as the tea was served, Mrs. Ye mentioned Song Peiyu's marriage again.

She looked at Song Peiyu with a smile, and her tone was full of doting and complacency, "It stands to reason that you don't need to talk about your marriage, as long as your mother and your elder brother are optimistic about it, but our family's situation is a little different after all."

After listening to Mrs. Ye's words, Song Peiyu quickly stood up from her chair, bowed her head and stood upright, as if accepting the court's training.

Seeing this, Mrs. Ye felt relieved and even more emotional in her eyes, and while Song Peiyu didn't look up, she quietly wiped the corners of her eyes.

When he spoke again, his voice was still steady and soft, "Since the first year of Yonghe, you have been with His Highness, and now it is the fifth year of Yonghe. Not only have you changed from Zizhi Shaoyin to a guest of the prince, you have also received an errand from Honglu Temple, You have long been an adult who can make decisions on your own. Since you can earn your own future, we don't force you to have a wife who is beneficial to your career. As long as you like it, even if you are just a commoner, we are willing to help you."

Although these words were not what Song Peiyu wanted to hear, he was still very grateful to Ship.

This was an era when there was no imperial examination system, and officials were still selected according to the nine-rank Zhongzheng system.

There are no low-ranking families in the upper class, and no noble families in the lower class. This is definitely not just talk.

Even a small family will be looked down upon by a big family.

With the momentum of the Song family in the Zhao country, the elders in the family were willing to promise him to choose his own wife, and even accepted his proposal to marry a girl from a poor family, which was the biggest concession.

It's a pity that Song Peiyu was destined to disappoint Mrs. Ye. After Mrs. Ye stopped talking, Song Peiyu still stood there with her head half down. Although her voice was low, her tone was extremely firm, "I have no intention of marrying a wife."

Mrs. Ye's smile didn't fade, and she said without thinking, "It doesn't matter if you don't have a girl you like. Mrs. Liu and I went to a banquet recently, and met a lot of dignified and generous girls, or lively and cheerful girls. You can get to know more girls by going to more banquets." Lots of people."

Song Peiyu smiled wryly, and looked up into Ye Shi's eyes, "Sister-in-law, I really have no intention of marrying a wife."

Only then did Mrs. Ye feel Song Peiyu's seriousness, and suddenly lost her good temper just now, "A few years ago, I told you about marrying a wife, and it's fine if you didn't care. After all, you have been in poor health since you were a child, and you need to take care of yourself more. It should be. Now you will be crowned soon, there is no reason not to have a family."

Song Peiyu lowered her head again, expressing her firm attitude with silence.

"Do you have a girl you like in Qizhen?" Ye Shi looked suspiciously at Song Peiyu. In the past, Song Peiyu would often evade when she heard that she wanted to marry a wife, but she had never refused so firmly.

"If you like it, bring it back." Ye Shi gritted her teeth fiercely, "If she is a commoner, I will send her to my relative's house to raise her for half a year, and arrange a decent status for her. After she enters the door, I will take care of her personally. Housework. If there is no good loan..."

Rao Ye's so-called bottomless retreat, he couldn't continue at this time.

If you don't have a good citizenship, you can only be a concubine, and there is no room for negotiation!

Song Peiyu shook her head honestly, "I don't have a girl I like."

At least not for a long time.

Song Peiyu's reticent attitude made Mrs. Ye really angry. She pointed at Song Peiyu and said, "You..."

Mrs. Song suddenly raised her crutches and knocked on the ground, "Okay, since he doesn't have such thoughts for the time being, what can you do if you are in a hurry?"

Ye Shi reluctantly closed her mouth, and turned her back to Song Peiyu.

Mrs. Song acted as if she was not in any hurry to marry Song Peiyu, she beckoned Song Peiyu to ignore Mrs. Ye, and sat down in front of her. She chatted with Song Peiyu a lot and never brought up the matter of marrying a wife again.

After Song Peiyu left Songhetang, Mrs. Song looked at Mrs. Ye, "I know you are wronged, but Li Nu is still a child after all, so you should let him more. He rarely has some free time, and he has to go to work tomorrow. , you just have the heart to embarrass him?"

Of course I couldn't bear it, but I couldn't help being angry.

Ye's hand holding the veil was covering the tightness in his chest, and said bitterly, "I don't know what kind of demon he committed!"

Mrs. Liu personally brought red dates and hot water to Mrs. Ye, and tried to persuade her a few times.

Since running the perfume shop together, Mrs. Liu and Ye's relationship has become much closer.

They were already close in age, but they avoided each other intentionally or unintentionally because of the huge difference in status and they didn't want to embarrass Song Peiyu.

After really getting along, you will be able to perceive the benefits of each other.

Thinking that Song Peiyu not only didn't listen to her, but also Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Song, Ye felt a little comforted.

"Since we say it's useless, let Jinyu talk to the raccoon. The raccoon has been obedient to Jinyu since he was a child, and..." The smile on the corner of Mrs. Song's mouth suddenly became meaningful, and she coughed muffled.

Ye Shi understood immediately.

Now Song Peiyu doesn't want to marry a wife, they force Song Peiyu to marry a wife.

Although it was for Song Peiyu's benefit, in Song Peiyu's eyes, they were villains.

It's better to let Song Jinyu be this villain.

As the head of the family, Song Jinyu must be more majestic in the eyes of the men outside than they are women.

Can be a red face, who wants to be a white face?

She didn't want Li Nu to have sex with her just because of marrying a wife.

So that night, Song Peiyu re-made a rough plan for Yinjing Zhuangzi, and when he was about to go to bed, Song Jinyu blocked him in the study.

The two brothers are busy people, they often look up and down in the palace, but they rarely see each other at home.

Although he knew that Song Jinyu's coming to him at this time must have something to do with his resolute refusal to marry just now, but Song Peiyu was still very happy, and repeatedly asked Jinbao to go to the small kitchen to bring some more restrained food.

Song Jinyu first talked with Song Peiyu about the court affairs.

Now that the East Palace has a proper name, Chongyi's status has been completely stabilized, but the Mu family is still so unpopular with Emperor Yonghe, and the East Palace has found no such Mu.

Even Mu Qing, who was the only one who was able to join Emperor Yonghe and Chong Yiyan, was sent to Nanlin as the county magistrate. In the blink of an eye, more than three years had passed, but Emperor Yonghe had no intention of transferring Mu Qing back from Nanlin.

If the Mu family can't change the status quo, ten years at the latest, they will completely lose their qualifications to compete with the Song and Lu families, and become a second-rate family in Youzhou.

Song Peiyu took advantage of the opportunity and Song Jinyu mentioned the gold leaf papers of Deng Xian and Deng's family in Honglu Temple.

After returning to Xianyang, he had already told Emperor Yonghe and Song Jinyu about the new paper.

Originally, after Chong Yi canonized the crown prince was over, it was time to discuss about the new paper.But the envoys from the Chu State happened to come, and the impact of the new paper is unknown. Before deciding how to deal with it, it is best not to let the news spread.

So so far, there are still only a few people who know the existence of new paper.

Song Jinyu didn't remember that there was Deng Xian in Honglu Temple at all. After being reminded by Song Peiyu, he also pondered for a while before he remembered who Deng Xian was.

He bluntly told Song Peiyu not to worry about it, and Deng Xianzheng wanted to find a better way out for Deng.

Speaking of this, Song Jinyu suddenly changed the subject, "I heard that today you said in front of your mother and your sister-in-law that you don't want to get married?"

Song Peiyu secretly said, "Here we come".

Although he was full of helplessness, Song Peiyu knew that since he had made this decision, he had no way to escape and could only choose to face it.

So Song Peiyu told Song Jinyu again what he said in Songhe Hall.

Song Jinyu looked at Song Peiyu with gentle eyes, and after Song Peiyu finished speaking, he suddenly laughed out loud and sighed, "The raccoon slave has grown up, not only has a sweetheart, but also knows to hide it."

Song Peiyu habitually vetoed, "I don't have a sweetheart, I just don't want to get married yet."

"You have," Song Jinyu said firmly.

"Could it be a girl from the Mu family? You are different from Jing Jue. He can't marry a girl from the Mu family, but you don't need to have so many worries. Or..." Song Jinyu looked at the barely visible expression change on Song Peiyu's face, and said casually Guess, "You don't like girls?"

Song Peiyu's hand under the table was clenched suddenly, and his mind went blank. He didn't know if he inadvertently showed a flaw to Song Jinyu, so that Song Jinyu could guess right at once.

After a long while, Song Jinyu, who kept his eyes on Song Peiyu, said thoughtfully, "There is no refutation this time, it seems that it is indeed the case."

"No" came out of his mouth, and Song Peiyu felt guilty, and lowered his head angrily.

"You..." Song Jinyu's usually calm face showed a rare hesitation. After all, he still didn't finish the sentence, but raised his finger up and then pointed down, asking questions all over his face.

Song Peiyu: ...

Why did he understand?

He doesn't want to understand? !

Unprecedented shame hit Song Peiyu's heart. He buried his head between his arms and lay down on the table, saying in a muffled voice, "I'm not! I don't! I don't know anything!"

A light laugh spread into Song Peiyu's ears, followed by Song Jinyu's relaxed tone, "Forget it, you should rest earlier, and when you want to marry a wife later, it's not too late to talk to your sister-in-law."

Song Peiyu raised her head abruptly, her face flushed red because she was holding her breath or because of embarrassment.

Song Jinyu was sitting in the original position, sipping tea slowly, showing no intention of leaving.

"You won't force me to marry a wife?" Song Peiyu looked at Song Jinyu's face cautiously like a kitten who was tempting wild animals in every possible way.

Song Jinyu glanced at Song Peiyu, smiled lightly and said, "You don't care about it, why should I force you?"

I have imagined too many difficulties and obstacles, and heard too many denials.

It was rare that Song Jinyu didn't care, but Song Peiyu felt suspicious.

He always felt that Song Jinyu just didn't care about it on the surface, and when he left Tianhuju, people would investigate his interpersonal relationship, and he was bound to find the person who made him 'not doing his job properly'.

The expression on Song Peiyu's face was too obvious, it was difficult for Song Jinyu to pretend not to see it.

Song Jinyu shook his head and sighed, "It seems that you really like him."

Song Peiyu put his hands on the table, and silently grabbed his hair. At this moment, no matter what Song Jinyu said, he felt that Song Jinyu was trying to trick him.

Song Jinyu hadn't seen Song Peiyu so emotionally leaked for a long time. He looked at Song Peiyu for a while, seeing that Song Peiyu was about to become angry, and then he said again, "Liu Nu, I want to tell you that the rules of the world are for A tool to bind the mediocre, and you will be the one who makes the rules."

Song Peiyu never expected that Song Jinyu would say such arrogant words.

But Song Peiyu couldn't say anything to refute.

Talk to the small.

Song Jinyu led the Song family to join Emperor Yonghe, which violated the secular requirements for loyalty.

The results of it?

Although Song's reputation in the Nine Kingdoms was mixed, under the leadership of Song Jinyu, they survived from desperation and soared into the sky.

Go big.

In Song Peiyu's era, Zhou Wu, who was famous in history, among her most widely circulated things, which one did not violate the unspoken rules of the world?

The results of it?

When all the people who loved her and hated her were turned into ashes, she still left thick and colorful strokes in the history books.Later generations will only remember her, not those who scolded her.

Putting aside the principles of ethics, Song Jinyu's words are the highest expectations for him.

It was really hard for Song Peiyu not to doubt, Song Jinyu had already seen through who he was attracted to.

Unfortunately, until Song Jinyu left, Song Peiyu didn't have the courage to ask if Song Jinyu knew who he was thinking about.

After Song Jinyu returned to her yard, she told Mrs. Ye directly that Song Peiyu didn't like girls, and before Song Peiyu changed her mind, she didn't have to show Song Peiyu any more.

Ye Shi didn't understand what Song Jinyu meant at first.

It wasn't until Song Jinyu said "broken sleeve" and "Longyang" helplessly that Ye suddenly realized.

Ye could not accept this reason. Ever since Song Jingming's eldest son was born, she had been waiting to hold Song Peiyu's child.

Song Jinyu suddenly told her that unless Song Peiyu changed her mind, she would never be able to hold a child who was exactly like Song Peiyu when she was a child.

Seeing that Mrs. Ye was impulsive and wanted to go to Tianhuju to ask Song Peiyu in the dark, Song Jinyu blocked the door with a face full of helplessness, "When I married you, I didn't want a child."

The anger and anxiety on Ye's face that were about to turn into reality immediately turned into surprise. She looked at Song Jinyu in disbelief, and said with trembling lips, "You know?"

Ye Shi asked herself that she has not been guilty of taking care of the family affairs and taking care of the general affairs of the clan for so many years after being married to Song Jinyu.

The only thing she felt ashamed of Song Jinyu was that when they discussed marriage, the family concealed that she was unable to have children, and maybe she would never have a biological child in this life.

Ye Shi once fell into the water in winter when she was young. Since then, she has suffered from palace cold. She has seen many famous doctors, but there is no guarantee that she will have a normal childbirth after marriage.

Later, it was true that it was difficult for her to have children, but because her mother-in-law didn't like her
