Tao Bao's Ancient Happy Life

Tao Bao’s busy work followed the people in the palace until the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. After the thing was finished, he heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the model on the sand table. It was him stirring the sand with glue, bit by bit. Looking for someone who understands the map to guide him, it took several days to complete the sand table of Tianyao Dynasty, which was exactly the same as the one on the map, and for the convenience of Huo Jianhui, he also specially used paint, using half of the main hall well done.

During the period, Huo Jianhui and the two children wanted to come and see them, but he refused them all. He was afraid that he would know the secret, so he specially asked someone to watch at night, and he also specifically asked no one to approach.

This afternoon, he went to Jiaofang, watched the rehearsal, felt pretty good, so he set the show, and then went to Kunning Palace, and sent the mirror made in Tao's shop to the empress On the road, I met a few ladies who came to Kunning Palace to pay their respects. Tao Bao greeted them in a proper manner, and then left. A few days ago, he kindly helped them install the kang and fire wall, but he didn't expect his kindness to be a donkey's liver and lungs. From now on, ignore them.

After those ladies saw it, they couldn't do anything about it, who would offend someone who didn't have long eyes!One of the empresses said: "I don't know what His Royal Highness Zhengjun gave the empress this time? Every time he gives the empress something new, I have never seen it before. I heard that the Tao family is now a new rich man in the capital." , It makes people want to fawn over, but they can't fawn over!". . . . . .

Tao Bao and his party leave these disturbing women, he doesn't want to participate in those palace fights in the harem, he just wants to live his own life with Huo Jianhui now, just in case one day Huo Jianhui and him have troubles that don't end well Even the Anbu of the Tao family is enough for the Huo family to drink a pot, and he will never hand it over to Huo Jianhui until he dies. It was the trump card given to him by his father Tao Ruilin, and it was also used by him to save his life. Since now, Huo Jianhui doesn't know that he has all the sources of Tianyao's news in his hands, but he doesn't say it. He wants to wait until he gets old. On that day, he had to hand this over to Zixuan and let Zixuan handle it by herself.

By the way, Empress Li here is in the main hall, playing with some white kittens. The last time Zixuan came to ask An to bring the puppy, the kittens were so scared that they went straight to the room and didn't come down for a long time. Finally, after Tao Zixuan got rid of the dogs, the cats came down, making Empress Li dumbfounded.

As soon as Empress Li looked up and saw Tao Bao coming in, she put down the cat in her hand and called Tao Bao to come and sit down.

After Tao Bao saw the ceremony, he sat directly on Empress Li's drooping hand, and as soon as he greeted people, he saw a few servants bring in a box as tall as a person, then opened it, and placed it in front of Empress Li. A court lady put the box stretched in her hand in front of Empress Li, and then retreated outside the door to wait.Mrs. Li looked curious, and couldn't help but said, "Bao'er, this is it?"

"Mother, isn't it the Chinese New Year? This is a gift from Erchen, I hope you like it." After Tao Bao finished speaking, he opened the cosmetic box in front of her, which was full of jewelry, but the jewelry was It was the style he drew on purpose, and then asked the jewelry master of the Tao family to make it. It was a style that had never been seen here. It was only seen on TV in modern times, not to mention how exquisite it is.

What satisfied Tao Bao the most was the mirror inside the vanity box, which was made of pure handmade glaze. At the beginning, he instructed the craftsmen to pour mercury with tin foil. He didn’t expect these craftsmen to be really good, so he just mentioned it. , It was made soon, but I didn't dare to sell it first, but was ordered to make it a tribute.

Empress Li looked at the mirror in front of her, and couldn't believe it. She had lived most of her life for so many years, and it was the first time she saw a mirror that she could see so clearly. If it wasn't for Tao Bao's joke, she would have Immediately screamed, but the surprise is still behind!

As soon as Tao Bao raised his hand, the palace servants under him immediately stepped forward, opened the big box beforehand, and then carefully moved it out, arranged the shelf that he had brought beforehand, and carefully placed the wooden framed colored glaze The big mirror was placed in front of Queen Li.

Empress Li looked at the mirror that was one block taller than her, and this time she didn't care about losing her composure, but stood up directly. If it wasn't for Tao Bao's reputation as a forerunner, he would have taken over the box of treasures long ago , it is estimated that it will have to be scattered all over the place.

Empress Li carefully touched the big mirror. The mirror was her own face. It looked real, much better than the bronze mirror. Then she turned around and pulled Tao Bao and said, "Bao'er, this is really your mother's face." Is it?" I was so excited that I forgot to say 'sorry'.

Hearing what he said, Tao Bao nodded: "Well, it's the real mother, this is really you, you see that you are not old, you are still so young." The hairpin inserted || on Li Shi's head.

When Mrs. Li saw her, she said, "You child, you really need people to feel sorry for you. From now on, don't call me queen mother, but mother. You are mother's little padded jacket.

. . . . . .

Tao Bao paused for a while and said, "Mother, I'm a man."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li covered her mouth and said, "Look at my mouth, aren't you a man? The padded jacket is not very good, so it must be the padded trousers!"

!!!

Tao Bao has black lines all over his head, ah!This also works!

Then Mrs. Li happily handed the jewelry box in her hand to Nanny Li, and told people to carry the mirror to her room. Tao Bao quickly directed people to the queen's inner room, and found the cabinet for the clothes. Clean out the extra cabinets next to it, and then ask someone to mount the mirror on the wall. I am afraid that if the bracket of the mirror is not stable, the mirror will be smashed, and the things that are so hard to get out will not be in vain. It's broken, that's a lot of money!

After Tao Bao had arranged all this, he waved his hand and took out a small box that was idle in Shiqing's hand. Inside was a small mirror cut from a small piece of glazed mirror fragments, and an inlaid copper mirror was used. Using the mirror method, I made a small mirror that I can hold in my hand at any time.

Empress Li couldn't get along with her mouth and said, "It's good to have a rich daughter-in-law. Look at the filial mother who doesn't need to spend money."

Tao Bao knew that it was Empress Li who was teasing him, and then said with a smile: "Mother, you are just joking, if you want to say who is the richest in Tianyao today, it has to be you and my father, just the gold in his treasury , It’s enough for our mothers to spend many lifetimes! That’s a golden mountain!”

After Queen Li heard this, she said, "You child, the treasury does not belong to our mother and mother, it belongs to the country and your father. From now on, my mother will have to ask you to take care of it!"

Tao Bao heard it: "Okay, I should be filial to my old lady. It's not difficult. From now on, as long as there is a son who can eat every bite, my old lady won't be hungry."

Empress Li was very moved by Tao Bao's words. For such a daughter-in-law, her son had burned incense in his previous life, so she smiled and said, "Okay, mother will be satisfied in this life with your words, unlike the old sword The little women in Huihui’s backyard are all thinking of plotting against me, they are much better than them.” After speaking, he handed the bunch of keys he was carrying with him to Tao Bao, “This will be handed over to Tao Bao from now on. Take care of it, I'm old and want to rest."

After Tao Bao heard this, he hurriedly said: "Mother, whether you are old or young, I can't control those women as a man. You should manage it yourself. I should go back and paint my paintings." After saluting, he turned around and ran away.

Empress Li looked at his figure and smiled: "This child is really good, isn't he Li Nanny?"

Nanny Li is the son of the Li family. She nodded and said, "Madam, Master Bao is not greedy for money. Just say that any of the things he sent today is priceless. Tianyao can afford such a large mirror, there is no second person."

Queen Li nodded: "Yes." . . . . .

Turning back to Tao Bao, he ran out from Kunning Palace and went to find Huo Jianhui. Huo Jianhui was busy in the military department at this time. When Tao Bao arrived, he packed his things and left with Tao Bao.

On the way, Tao Bao opened a box he had prepared in front of Huo Jianhui, then packed all the parts in the box in front of him, and handed it to Huo Jianhui after calibration. New research? Why didn’t I know?”

Tao Bao said with a smile: "I used the blacksmith of the Tao family to make it myself. It's not bad, right? The iron used is more than the bird's gun. How about we replace all the bird's guns used by the soldiers with this gun sooner or later?" ? Surely it will increase combat effectiveness, what do you think?"

Huo Jianhui hugged Tao Bao with a smile and said, "What kind of gun is this called?"

Tao Bao smiled and said, "You can just call it a rifle, and I haven't figured out what to call it?" In fact, it's similar to the gun made by Han Yang, but he didn't mention the name.

Huo Jianhui nodded: "If you give this to your father, he will definitely like it. Let's go to the imperial dining room to find him?"

Tao Bao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." So the imperial chariot went to the imperial dining room.

When we arrived, Huo Xiaotian had just finished approving the memorial, and when he heard Fuhai report that Huo Jianhui and his wife were coming, he announced it. When he saw the rifle that Tao Baoxin had researched, he laughed and said, "Okay, just rely on your With these credits, you will be the young master of the prince from tomorrow on."

"Ah, that can't be done. I have already been the teacher of Zixuan's children, so why should I teach with Brother Hui? That's not good. I don't seek any official position, so you can let me take a few of them with me. The child will be."

Huo Xiaotian thought for a while, "That can't be done, teaching children is just a trivial matter, why don't you just keep doing something else, how about this, you see which position you have chosen in the court, if there is no problem, after the New Year Take office?"

Tao Bao thought for a while, "Or father, you are adding a new department and see who can do it first?"

Huo Xiaotian is an old and cunning guy. Hearing Tao Bao's words, he knew that the kid might have thought of some good idea again, so he said, "What department do you want to add? Tell me."

Tao Bao glanced at Huo Jianhui, and Huo Jianhui nodded. After being encouraged, he organized his words: "Father, I want to set up a business department. There was no business department in my dynasty until the previous dynasties, and the relative status of merchants is too low. , is not favored, but as an important part of material exchange, it seems that the importance of merchants is very high. This also means that the status of merchants is not high, which is very embarrassing. The trade frictions in the material exchange with Fanbang also gave more support to the merchants.

Of course, they will naturally be grateful to the imperial court. Relatively, our tax revenue will be very high, especially tariffs. Whether it is export or import, we have to pay the imperial court. Businessmen are not thin, and they are more willing to contribute money and efforts to support the court. At the same time, in order to reassure these businessmen, they allow their sons to become officials. , what do you think? "

Huo Xiaotian took a look at Tao Bao: "Sure enough, it's Mr. Lan Yi, with great insight and courage. If you don't become an official, who will be an official? Let's set up a business department after the Chinese New Year. How about you just go and sit in town?"

Tao Bao opened his mouth, wondering whether he buried himself, so he hurriedly said, "Father, I'm really not that good at doing business, besides, you can give me a few days off. My biggest wish now is to sleep until I wake up naturally, but I can recommend a person to you. He manages the business department better than anyone else, because he is very good at doing business. It’s up to him to operate.”

Huo Jianhui and Huo Xiaotian glanced at each other: "He said it could be your father-in-law?"

Huo Jianhui nodded: "En."

Tao Bao opened his eyes wide: "How do you know that I'm talking about my father? Am I so obvious?"

After hearing this, Huo Xiaotian laughed loudly: "You kid, you really know how to pretend to be stupid. You are so obvious that you want an official position for your father. I still can't tell. I'm just a fool, but your father is an old fox. After doing business for so many years, I believe none of those foreign devils are his opponents. Let’s do it this way. Tomorrow thirty, your father will enter the palace for a palace banquet. I will mention it to him. If he agrees , Just take office after the new year.

As for you little fox, go to sleep until you wake up naturally. You are busy enough during this period, so let’s take a rest first. After all, we still have a lot of things to do after the Chinese New Year. I will be looking for you then , By the way, I heard that you are going to take over Beizhen Fusi, is it true? "

Tao Bao heard it: "Fuck me, how did your old man know about this? It wasn't Brother Hui who told you. I just said it casually. Why do you take it seriously? I don't want to be a spy." Boss, I can't do this, you'd better choose someone else!" After saying that, he was about to leave, but before he could drag Huo Jianhui to escape, he heard their guy say: " It’s good that you go to Fusi of Beizhen, help take care of it, and when these people can do something decent, you are passing it on to others.”

Tao Bao heard it: "Oh, so you mean that I will go and rectify it for you, and I will have nothing to do with it when it's over. I see, you should think about it before we talk about it. I won't go. As the old saying goes, marrying a man, marrying a man, dressing and eating, since you are married to me, you have to take good care of me, let me sleep until I wake up naturally, and count the money until my hands cramp..."

Tao Bao wanted to say something, but when he heard Huo Xiaotian laughing, even Huo Jianhui grinned, Tao Bao realized that he was really stupid, so he clapped his hands and laughed twice, His face also turned red, and in the end he was really ashamed, like Huo Xiaotian gave a salute, turned and ran away.

Huo Xiaotian patted his son on the shoulder and said: "Boy, you found the treasure, go back and talk to him well, let him help us for a while, anyway, this country belongs to our own family, from now on it will belong to you two Let’s fight together for a period of time. When the government is stable, I’m looking for a trustworthy person to take over Beizhen Fusi, and then your father, I will let you take a few days off, and let you pay your wife to sleep until she wakes up naturally. How about it? "

Huo Jianhui said with a cold face, "Then it was agreed in advance, and he will not be allowed to go to court if there is nothing to do. He is not in good health, so he can't be too tired. Do you think it's okay?"

"Okay, okay, I know you love your daughter-in-law, why don't you love your father and me, you are an unfilial son, you forget your father when you have a daughter-in-law..." Before he could finish speaking, Huo Jianhui looked up. The legs turned decisively and left.

Huo Xiaotian pointed at Huo Jianhui's back for a long time, laughed angrily, and then smiled and returned to the imperial case to review the memorial with his head bowed, muttering in his mouth while he was approving: "This brat."

Fu Hai, who came in to deliver water, also smiled. It seems that the emperor is in a good mood, and only the prince and his highness can make the emperor happy!

Here, Tao Bao ran outside the palace and waited for Huo Jianhui. He believed that Huo Jianhui would come out in a while. As expected, Huo Jianhui came out in a while. Seeing him waiting there, he smiled and said, "Why don't you get on the imperial chariot?" It's cold inside."

Tao Bao smiled and said: "I'm waiting for you, let's go back to the palace together, let's go, I still have a gift for you, if you don't like it then you have to pretend to like it, do you know?"

Huo Jianhui nodded, with smiles in his eyes, his Bao'er is really becoming more and more likable, and his heart is overflowing with happiness. . . . . .

The two of them held hands and went back to the East Palace on the imperial chariot. When they got to the East Palace, they saw two children waiting for them eagerly. As soon as they saw the two of them coming back, they rushed over and rubbed each other vigorously in their arms. In the end, it was Huo Jianhui who asked people to let go, and they separated.

The family of four had a meal in the small hall. Because tomorrow is the New Year's Eve, they all have to get up early and go to sacrifice to heaven with the emperor, so they specially told the nanny to take the two children to bed early, and he took Huo Jianhui to do it. The great hall on the sand table. . . . . .
