The daily life of the science master's book-wearing group

Chapter 435 Overriding Favor

Song Qingyue was thinking about how to remind the workaholic father and son that she was still here, when suddenly the little boy woke up, screaming to find his mother.

Lin Wanfu rushed to Song Qingyue with a sliding shovel almost at the speed of a [-]-meter sprint, and sent Xiao Shizi over, fearing that His Highness would cry here.

Song Qingyue took the child, stroked his back, comforted him softly, and glanced at Lin Wanfu again, telling him to hurry up and get something to eat for the little guy, and it was time for his meal.

The courtiers who were discussing outside all heard the movement behind the screen, and their expressions became different.

Li Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly, stood up calmly, and went around the screen to look at his wife and children.

The emperor was a little embarrassed, he was too involved in the discussion, and forgot about his daughter-in-law who was taking a nap.

He cleared his throat and said solemnly: "My dear family, it's getting late, so we'll stop here today."

Behind the screen, the little baby was hungry. Seeing her mother's aggrieved face, Li Zhao helped coax her, and ordered another eunuch who was serving in the hall to quickly bring a meal for the empress.

Outside, when Song Chenxu heard the movement behind the screen, he knew it was the third younger sister, and felt a wave of worry and joy in his heart.

The emperor's willingness to let the third sister sleep in the imperial study so boldly, not only transcended the scope of courtesy, but also valued it very much. Maybe she knew about these important state affairs, and might even be willing to listen to her suggestions.

A talent like the third sister, even a girl, cannot be ignored.

But this kind of emphasis is beyond the rules of etiquette, and no one knows what consequences this will bring to the third sister.

He raised his eyes and glanced at everyone present. Xu Youzhong is the eldest brother-in-law, Liang Zhengxiang is the eldest uncle, Lu Lao is the second assistant, and he will soon become his father-in-law...

It turned out that they were all from my own family, and I didn't realize that there was another layer of cold sweat behind my back.

Shouldn't he be engaged to Lu Wenyan?

Song Chenxu even thought of retiring the engagement in his heart.

But the emperor didn't seem to think about these things at all. As long as he was a capable person, it would be too wasteful to leave it unused.

As for the other three, apart from the initial shock, they had a new understanding of how favored this Princess Jin was.Xu Youzhong was thinking about how to better maintain a good husband and wife relationship with Song Yaxin. As for whether to expel two of the couples in his room; To be favored by His Royal Highness and offend the princess is simply an idiot; only Lu Laocifu was thinking of how to tactfully remind the emperor and His Royal Highness that the harem should not be involved in politics, even the princess should not be allowed to enter the Palace of Qinzheng !
He thought so, and said so.

It’s just that when the words were spoken, they were not tactful at all, and even mentioned the rumor that Li Zhao favored Song Qingyue exclusively: “Your Highness, forgive me for speaking bluntly. This is a big taboo, and the Taizu said that women in the harem are not allowed to participate in politics, even if the princess is not a harem woman, she is also a member of the palace's back house, so it is against the ancestral system to attend the discussions of the monarch and his ministers like this!"

As expected of Lu Zongli!I really dare to say anything.

The emperor admired secretly in his heart, but at the same time subconsciously looked at the eldest daughter-in-law, hoping that she would never feel unhappy because of that ignorant old man Lu.

Li Zhao frowned, clearly showing his dissatisfaction. He was about to reprimand the old man surnamed Lu for not meddling in his own business, but Song Qingyue preempted him: "What Master Cifu said is true! It is indeed the princess who overstepped the rules today. I will never do it again in the future!"

Seeing that the eldest daughter-in-law was not only not angry, but also actively admitted her mistakes, and blocked the mouth of the old man surnamed Lu in time, the emperor laughed out loud. Who will help me pick nonsense in the future?

To be honest, except for Song Qingyue and Li Zhao, he really can't trust others now.

Even Wang Luen couldn't reassure the emperor so much.

This spooky girl!

Song Qingyue secretly rejoiced in her heart, every time she carried the cub into the palace to visit the emperor's grandfather, the emperor would order her to work.

She didn't want the honor of working overtime without pay at all! ——
Of course, this kind of thing should be kept secret, even Lu Zongli knows how to measure it.

In the next few days, the emperor ordered Ning Yuan to go to Zhejiang to secretly transfer some warships of the Dongyang Navy to the north and guard near the two shipyards in Dengzhou and Laizhou.

In order not to leak the news of troop deployment, all grain and grass were transported by sea to Bohai Bay.

Arranging manpower to guard against the dead near the Bohai Sea is bound to catch the Japanese pirates by surprise.

Fu Chengfeng and Song Chenxu personally took [-] officers and soldiers from the Firearms Battalion to Tianjin Wei, Laizhou Prefecture and Dengzhou Prefecture in three routes, waiting for the Japanese pirates to throw themselves into the net on the way.

The Zhen family with the strongest financial resources in Tianjin Port is celebrating the burning of the shipyard at this time.

The emperor went crazy and arrested a large number of officials and went to the capital. It is said that if they don't want to, they will be executed.

Zhen's grandson laughed and said, "Grandpa is really brilliant! The emperor actually wanted to kill so many naval generals who had been trained so hard for the sake of two ships."

The third child of the Erfang family also said: "Yes, even the general who was in charge of training the copper cannon shooting was not spared. Our Majesty really picked up the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon. He thought he was smart, but he destroyed the Great Wall , so stupid!"

The Patriarch of the Zhen family stroked his silver-white beard and laughed loudly: "That's right! However, I have heard recently that apart from the two burnt ghost craft ships, there are other places."

As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence in the room.

A group of children and grandchildren looked at the head of the Zhen family, and suddenly, the sixth child of the third house clasped his fists together and said, "Grandpa, my grandson is willing to go to the major shipyards along the coast to inquire about news!"

The rest of the children and grandchildren stood up together and said that they were willing to go to inquire.

The head of the Zhen family looked at his own group of backbone children and grandchildren very proudly, nodded and said: "Okay! If anyone has the ability to find out this matter, I will appoint him as the helmsman of the first fleet!"

The helmsman of the first fleet has always been the next Patriarch.

And this helmsman was originally the eldest son of the Patriarch, but when Li Zhao was fighting Chen Jiajun the year before last, he was blasted into the sea by Li Zhao's rifled cannon, and has since disappeared, basically dead.

The head of the Zhen family originally wanted to follow the Chen family to make a fortune, so that the family that started business a hundred years ago would take a step forward and let the family produce a general.

Regardless of whether it is a civil servant or a military officer, he always wants to follow the son of the Chen family and become an official in the future.Who knew, not only lost a lot of money, but also cost the life of the eldest son!

What made the old man even more angry was that all the boats he donated to the Chen family's navy fell into Li Zhao's hands in the end, and he wandered around in Bohai Bay all day long in front of his old man's eyelids.

The old man of the Zhen family has been holding this hateful anger in his chest for a long time.

After the children and grandchildren had dispersed, the old housekeeper handed over a Baoxin pill and a glass of water.

The old man and Shui swallowed the honey pills, and ordered in a low voice: "Try to send this news to Wei's house. The old lady heard that it has something to do with an inner eunuch next to the Fourth Prince. If the Fourth Prince can tell us about the other It would be better where the shipyard of the ghost craft ship is. In addition, send someone to Lu’s house and ask them to inform the Japanese, be careful that the imperial court still has other ghost craft boats in Bohai Bay. Burn all the ghost craft boats first and then act. Don't act rashly!"

"Yes! Master, don't worry." The butler replied.

"Also, ask the Azure Dragon Gang again, when will the secret of the ghost ship be found out?"

Master Zhen was a little distraught, his health was deteriorating, and he was afraid that he would collapse before he could take revenge on Li Zhaohe and the emperor.

The doctor said that the old man should not be excited, so the housekeeper had no choice but to comfort him: "Don't worry, the master. Now the emperor has arrested so many people in the shipyard, and the shipyard is surrounded by Jin Yiwei. They dare not act rashly."

"Give them another half a year, if you can't find out again, don't blame the old man for finding someone else to do this business!"

In the capital, when Li Zhao received the news that the four major families had sent people to find out where the other shipyards that made ghost craft ships were, Li Zhao raised the corners of his lips proudly.

In fact, he could directly report to them that they were from Terengganu and Laizhou, but Li Zhao felt that the news that was too easy to get was a bit fake.The people in power of the four major families are all cunning and cunning businessmen.

The news that I have worked so hard to obtain will definitely not be false, and will be delivered undefended.

Now, it is to find evidence that they have colluded with foreign enemies.

"Why do you have to prove that they colluded with foreign enemies? Don't you already have the evidence that they bribed the court officials?" Song Qingyue asked Li Zhao while looking at the letter sent by her elder brother and Song Xiaowu from Tongren.

Li Zhao was holding a cute little jade bowl to feed his son the most hated green rice paste, and replied casually: "If you just bribe the court officials, at most kill one or two of their nephews, what's the use? Those people One day entrenched in Tianjin is a big tumor in Tianjin. Killing one or two of them will treat the symptoms but not the root cause.”

The little boy started to resist when he saw the green paste. Li Zhao frowned while holding the bowl, and was still discussing with the little boy: "You can have a bite, and Daddy can have a bite, okay? Isn't it just adding a little spinach puree, which is obviously delicious. Who did you learn from, you brat, that you don't like vegetables?!"

Song Qingyue shook her head aside, who did she learn from?Who can I learn from?Someone who loves meat and love has no self-knowledge at all.

"So you and the emperor want to dig out these four big tumors completely?"

The little cub finally managed to swallow two mouthfuls of spinach mush, Li Zhao heaved a sigh of relief, he had completed the task given by his wife, handed the small bowl to A Fang, sat down and rested his head on Song Qingyue's lap for a while.

"Yeah, once the foreign enemy is determined, at least it will be annihilation of the three clans. At that time, a house can be raided, and a batch of ships will be incorporated. Of course, the crime of colluding with foreign enemies must be convicted!"

Song Qingyue sighed inwardly after hearing the two clicks of tut-tsk, the rulers are indeed black-hearted.

Song Qingyue's letter from the fifth brother made Song Qingyue very happy. First, she said excitedly that she saw a Miao Qiang girl wearing a short skirt and walking with her calves exposed on the street in Tongren. She also said that her elder brother was too scared to go out at first, but Now they have adapted well there.

Afterwards, I reported that there are now more than 40 children in the nursing home in Tongren, and five girls are taking care of them.

These five girls were all rescued by Commander Feng from a nearby bandit den.

In addition, there are more than 60 children in the school, and he recruited two scholars to be teachers.

Attached at the end of the letter is a statement of all expenses incurred during the year.

Song Qingyue looked at the letter and smiled happily. Li Zhao lay on her lap and asked sourly, "What did Xiao Wu say that made you so happy?"

"Talking about the Nursing Home, Feng Si took Jin Yiwei to destroy a bandit den near Tongren and rescued a few girls. Because they were raped by the bandits, they couldn't return home now, so Xiao Wu stayed in the Nursing Home Helped take care of the children. Feng Si has done a great merit."

Li Zhao frowned, and snorted: "What's the matter? I'm sorry. Your Brother Azhao is going to kill Japanese pirates soon! I don't know how much merit I can accumulate."

Song Qingyue felt that this man's sour and jealous look was really childish!

Grab his cheeks with both hands and squeeze them hard.

"You are so childish, Li Dalang!"
-
Besides, in the capital city, with the increase in the number of students in Zhaoyue Primary School, Principal Niu hired two new Mr. Kaimeng.

Ji Xiucai is one of them.

His current monthly payment is four taels of silver.

Since Zhaoyue Primary School was founded by His Royal Highness Jin Wang and his concubine Jin, the money handed out was not miscellaneous silver, but two grains of silver, so four taels would satisfy him.

But he knew that the two professors of arithmetic were seven taels of silver every month!

One of them is said to have been a maidservant next to Princess Jin, and the other was a young accountant in Liuquanju.

Ji Xiucai felt unconvinced at first, and found Niu Hesheng to reason about why his dignified scholar didn't get as much money as the maid and the small accountant.

Niu Hesheng was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he just said: "If you don't want to be the Mr. Kaimeng of Zhaoyue Primary School, I will hire another Gao Ming. If you really feel that the money is short, teach arithmetic if you have the ability. We are short of Mr. Kaimeng, Mr. Kaimeng We have no shortage of teachers who can teach you how to read characters. At the beginning, I also saw that we had a chess match. I thought you lost the chess game, but you can still maintain politeness. You have a bit of literati spirit to give you this opportunity. If you feel that you are inferior here, then find another place to excel!"

"Don't, Brother Niu! I'm just not convinced, so I'm talking to you." Ji Xiucai smiled flatteringly.

Niu Hesheng threw him a math study book and said, "Let's do it, don't look down on people."

This season, Xiucai really started to do the problems in the exercise book at night. When he did the first three pages, he still thought it was easy, but when he turned to the fourth page, he had to scratch his head and think for a long time before he could do it. up.

As a last resort, the next day I went to buy a math book written by His Majesty and studied it at home, but found that the methods used to study the Four Books and Five Classics were not applicable at all.

Even if he memorized every word in the book, he still couldn't fully understand the meaning, and his mind was still a mess.

But he was embarrassed to ask a maidservant and a small tent, so he could only ask Niu Hesheng in a low voice.

Seeing his sneaky appearance, Niu Hesheng said angrily, "Master's books are all in vain, don't be ashamed to ask! Or don't be ashamed to ask! Besides, I am a gentleman, so asking a gentleman is not a question!"

Ji Xiucai showed shame, but still couldn't save face, and asked the unmarried girl.In fact, Niu Hesheng's arithmetic level is average, but he had studied with Mo Yun, Mo Xiang, and Mo Hen for a while, at least he knew more than Ji Xiucai.

He first taught Ji Xiucai the table of ninety-nine multiplication formulas so that he could memorize them by heart at night, and then started teaching them from the most basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
