Great Song

He kept watch all night, went to the palace before dawn, and stood there for a whole day in the cold and starving.When she got home, Zhen Qiong fell asleep, and no one could wake her up.In the next few days, he didn't even go out, and slept until noon every day, and he didn't eat three meals, and he had to add supper.It wasn't until the seventh day of the seventh day, when the family went out for an outing, that Han Miao dug out the door.

"Qioner eats and sleeps like this, isn't she afraid of getting fat?" Han Miao joked as soon as he got on the horse.

Zhen Qiong can barely know how to ride a horse now, and is holding the rein carefully.Hearing what he said, he immediately looked at his stomach vigilantly, and then he was relieved: "Don't be afraid, you will lose weight when you get busy later. You can grow taller if you eat more!"

This answer made Han Miao dumbfounded.Doesn't this person want to sleep and forget food again?All the apprentices in the temple have to be careful not to let him forget to eat again.

Han Xia on the side also said enthusiastically: "Brother, I heard that the martial arts school has been completed, and it should start in a few years."

The martial arts school has been in preparation for some time, and it was built next to the Taixue.Afterwards, it is said that there are also mathematics and medicine, and the vicinity of Taixue is about to become lively.

Han Miao joked with a smile: "Why, Xia'er is still interested in martial arts?"

"I'm just a little curious. I heard that there will be a general teaching..." As a Tai student, Han Xia was really concerned about this, and chatted with his brother.

After finally getting used to the docile horse she was riding, Zhen Qiong relaxed a little and looked up.There are many pedestrians on the road, all of whom are going for outings in the suburbs.Because it is the New Year's Eve, everyone is wearing new clothes and smiling.However, the things on top of some people's heads are weird. They are window grilles cut out of colored silk or gold leaf.

"Brother Miao, why did someone put window grilles on their heads?" Zhen Qiong couldn't help but turn around and asked.

This question stunned the Han brothers. After careful consideration, Han Miao couldn't help laughing: "That's not a window grille, it's a person's victory. Naturally, you should wear it on your head to win the prize."

This Rensheng can only cut human shapes, and there are not as many kinds of window grilles as ordinary ones.In this season of outings, there will naturally be many women and children wearing people's victories.

As he said that, Han Miao raised his head towards the side of the road: "Look over there, there are Taoists selling talismans. Yitian silkworms are used to avoid disasters and epidemics, and they are also for blessing."

Han Xia also thought of something at this time, and asked, "Baoying Temple can make talismans today? Grandma said before that she wants to ask for a body protector."

Zhen Qiong wondered: "But Taoist temples don't sell this..."

Before he finished speaking, Han Miao said with a smile: "Then Qiong'er may write a few for me, as long as it is auspicious."

"That's easy to say!" If it wasn't for riding a horse, Zhen Qiong would have almost patted her chest.Although it's not as good as Mi Fu's, everyone in his family wants his handwriting.Isn't it great too?

The three of them were chatting outside, and their voices were heard in the carriage beside them.Mrs. Han smiled and listened for a while, then turned to the bride and said, "Don't worry, Sanniang, Qiong'er will draw the talisman herself!"

Ma Sanniang blushed: "Let the grandma worry about it."

Her elder sister is pregnant recently, and she is looking for a protective amulet from Baoying Temple.For this matter, she specially asked her grandmother, and now she got the promise, so she is very happy.This talisman written by Zhenjun Thunder himself is definitely more effective than other families.

Mrs. Han patted her hands with a smile: "My family, how can you be so polite? Look at my new clothes, does it still fit?"

The dress on the old lady is indeed different from the past.This was re-tailored after she was granted Feng'an.With grades, the clothes and jewelry should be much more gorgeous and look extremely dignified.

"It fits well! Grandma wears it, it looks more energetic." Ma Sanniang said immediately.

Mrs. Han loved hearing these words the most, she smiled and said to her granddaughter-in-law: "When Xia'er becomes an official, I will earn you an order to come back!"

Ma Sanniang's face turned red when she heard this, but her heart was also a little hot.The Han family came here by imperial order, but unexpectedly, it was earned by an uncle who was in business.But thinking about it, I'm afraid it has something to do with Ling Xiaozi.Who would have thought that in just a short period of time, Zhen Qiong would be promoted from "clerk" to "mister" and even have a household.As for the Han family, not only the old lady was granted an imperial order, Han Miao was also able to enter the palace to participate in the court, and was also rewarded by the emperor.

Because of this matter, when she returned home a few days ago, the relatives who originally disliked this family all smiled when they saw her.But Ma Sanniang is vigilant against these duplicitous ones.Her husband's family really cared for her as a family member, so how could she hurt her own family because of those rats?Whether it is Han Miao or Zhen Qiong, they must get along well and not let their relationship be cold.As for the old lady and uncle, what they miss is Han Xia's studies, and she has to do her best!

Thinking of this, Ma Sanniang nodded seriously: "My grandson will definitely urge my husband to learn from you!"

What Mrs. Han likes most is the bride's calmness and alertness.Hearing this, I couldn't help but smiled and said: "I'm not in a hurry to work hard, I'll talk about it after the Shangyuan. Then let's go to watch the lantern together..."

Hearing what the old lady said, Ma Sanniang couldn't laugh or cry.With such doting elders, it is not easy for her husband and son-in-law to make progress.

On this day, the whole family had fun.When she got home, she was accompanied by her husband and son-in-law, and Ma Sanniang was even more happy from the bottom of her heart.On the day of Shangyuan, she dressed up early, and secretly expected it in her heart.This is her first night in the Han family. With her husband and son-in-law by her side, it is very different from her boudoir, right?

As soon as it got dark, the family went out.This time, she didn't take a car, only Mrs. Han took a sedan chair.Ma Sanniang wanted to accompany her grandmother by the sedan chair, but was grabbed by her husband.

"Brother's store has a new lamp. I think it's not bad, so I asked someone to make a unique one." Slightly shy, Han Xia handed the lamp over.

It was a glazed lamp, but it was quite different from ordinary glazed lamps.The lamp is made into a light and dexterous fairy, as if flying in the sky, with a shiny body and fluttering clothes.In the lotus bag held in the palm, a flame was burning, emitting a light that was more dazzling than ordinary lanterns.

How could Ma Sanniang expect that her husband-in-law would give her such a beautiful glazed lantern, and she blushed for a moment, and dared not accept it.Seeing her shyness, Han Xia coughed, passed the lantern forward again, and said in a low voice, "This lantern suits you, take it..."

Isn't that praising her for her beauty, like a fairy?Ma Sanniang's face was even more rosy, and she took the lamp carefully, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, husband."

Han Xia's face also turned red, and she raised her head and glanced at her elder brother in front of her, then suddenly reached out and held his wife's hand: "Let's go. Let's go to accompany grandma."

Being grabbed by her husband-in-law, Ma Sanniang's face was almost bleeding.I was thinking that my uncle and grandmother were all around, would it be wrong?As soon as he raised his head, he saw Han Miao hugging Zhen Qiong in front of him, whispering something in his ear with a smile.That Fengshen and handsome Ling Xiaozi was also holding a lantern in his hand at the moment, it was shining brightly, but it couldn't compare to the smile on his lips.

Seeing this scene, Ma Sanniang's heart suddenly felt at ease, and she couldn't help but grip her husband's hand even tighter.Han Xia also noticed it, and walked to the side of the sedan chair with a smirk on her face: "Grandma, you can go."

Mrs. Han pretended to stare at him: "I only want to buy a lamp for the bride, what about the old man?"

Han Xia's face turned red all of a sudden, and he faltered and couldn't speak.Han Miao smiled and said, "Grandma's lamp is much more magnificent than ours. Light it up quickly."

At this time, a few servants hung a large lamp under the eaves of the sedan chair, which was shaped like a fairy palace, and there were pictures of immortals rotating slowly inside, which turned out to be a marquee.

Seeing the lifelike characters on the lamp, Mrs. Han couldn't help but said happily: "Who painted this? Could it be Mr. Mi Xiaolang."

"It was drawn by Mi Lang's friend Li Gonglin. He is the best at figures. As long as the grandma likes it." Seeing that his grandmother liked it, Han Miao also smiled.The painting really did not ask for nothing.

A family, walking on the street with such gorgeous lamps, did not know how many eyes it attracted.But Ma Sanniang didn't care about others anymore, she held the hand of her husband and son-in-law, full of joy in her heart.A few people walked and watched, and stopped from time to time to buy some snacks and watch a few canopy shows.I don't know how long it took, and finally came to the shop of the Han family.

This time, there are no crowds who have grown into mountains and seas every year.Because the lamp is hung too high, no matter where you are, you can see it when you look up.It was a round of Sunday, surrounded by an unknown number of lanterns.If it is an ordinary lantern, making such a shape is just a novelty.However, the lights of Han's house are dazzling, and the surrounding area is as bright as day, as if a round of sun is really shining in front of the store.

Everyone who saw it on the street was amazed.With this lamp, the lamp hills of the whole street are almost eclipsed.

Zhen Qiong's eyes widened excitedly: "Is the lantern energy produced?"

If others can't see it, how can Zhen Qiong not see it?The shape of this lantern is just a simplified version of a horse lantern, which is windproof and rainproof, and is most suitable for carrying when going out.So bright, of course, because of the use of lamp oil!

Han Miao smiled slightly: "Qiong'er worked so hard to make it, how dare a husband neglect it? But that lamp oil should be called differently."

Refining lamp oil from petroleum is still the exclusive business of the Han family.Naturally, this matter cannot be hidden, so he wasn't too worried. He also vaguely hoped that those wealthy businessmen would find out earlier and exploit the oil fields in Shanzhou as soon as possible.At that time, with a large sum of money in front of him, Xixia, who is like a tiger and a wolf, will not be so scary.For the stability of the oil field and not being robbed by others, I am afraid that some people will support the conquest of Xixia and create peace.

It's just that the name of lamp oil is always too general.The use of petroleum is also a little blunt and out of date.

Upon hearing this, Zhen Qiong immediately said, "It's better to call it kerosene."

This kerosene is just another name for lamp oil, and it is said that it was passed down by the Zhao Dynasty.It's just kerosene, diesel, gasoline, and he still can't figure out the meaning.Could it be that the ancestors of the Taoist sect thought of it by patting their heads?

I didn't expect Zhen Qiong to come up with such a name.Although it is not very elegant, but it is useful to deceive people and make people unable to think about the history.Without hesitation, he smiled and said, "The oil is refined by Qiong Er, so naturally you have the final say."

Looking at the gloomy Lantern Mountain in the other house, and then at the sun above her head, Zhen Qiong was also happy.It seems that it will be a matter of time to make money with kerosene lamps!

The author has something to say: I found that some people don't quite understand the intention of Wang Anshi's new law.In fact, it is very simple. There are only two themes involved in the economic level, state-owned and loans.By monopolizing the market, the central government regulates and controls the pricing power, that is, the "right to collect and disperse", and then opens low-interest loans to the private sector.It's a good idea, but when you run into corrupt officials, it's bullying the market and forcing loans.
