Xinshun 1730

Chapter 14
Back in his own room, not long after, a few maidservants brought over the beaver fur hat and cocoa cooking utensils.

The silver was only given a note, and if it is needed, you only need to take the note to the mansion to pay for it.Anyway, according to what Liu Yu's mother thought, Liu Yu didn't spend the money on his own, but let the servants and maids do it.

Perhaps the mother was afraid that she would not have enough money, so she secretly took out two ten taels of gold lockets from her own money, which would not go to the public account of the government.

At lunch time, Yuyan and a few servant girls came back with a large pile of silks and satins of various colors.

Liu Yu had never seen such a good silk in his previous life, and he had never seen such a commercially available silk in this life, and he didn't know which was green satin and which was Lu silk.

After inquiring, I picked up the piece of Lu silk, tested its quality, and found it to be usable.

It just so happened that it wasn't too expensive, just over one tael of silver per horse, and it would be enough to make 200 taels.

After drawing a rough picture, he handed over the piles of silk to Swift.

"The rest, you just look at them. They are all market goods. I don't need them. You can cut a piece of clothes each. If there are more and more, you can keep them; if there are less, you can buy them again." Pay some money from the house to buy a few horses, don’t want this or that.”

After finishing the instructions, he took the number plate of gold and silver, went out of the inner courtyard, and found his close servant Mantou.

After talking roughly, he handed over the silver and gold to him.

"Just find a better tailor shop and do what I told you to do. I have written it down on my paper exactly how to do it. Since you can read, you can't make mistakes. If there is a kickback, you can keep it for yourself." That’s it. I just need to make it as soon as possible, understand?”

Mantou beamed with joy, and he was able to work six or seven hundred pieces of silk and satin at once, so the rebate was worth dozens of taels.

He also knows that the days to come are still long, if the family is really separated in the future, and he follows the third master, how can he be a housekeeper or something, so why can't he tell the importance?
It is gratifying to get money, but the most important thing is to get things done.

"Third Master, don't worry. It's the tenth day of the day, and I'm sure it will be finished before Mid-Autumn Festival. There are not many other things in the capital, except for a tailor shop. It's just a thousand taels of silver to make a plaything. If the Duke finds out..."

Liu Yu gave Mantou a supercilious look, and scolded: "If you want me to feel unreliable in doing things in the future, let my father know."

Mantou hastily put away the money, and with a grin, he knew that at most he would be beaten, but he still had the money in his hands.If you do it carefully, you won't know it.

He ran away from the door in a flash, almost bumping into Tian Ping who came in from the outside.

It was not convenient for the two of them to go to the inner courtyard, so they found an empty courtyard in the mansion, and began to chatter about the affairs of the Western Yi countries and various taboos of the Raksha Kingdom.

…………

Seven or eight days of boring days have passed, and the Zhongyuan Festival, when the ancestors are sacrificed to the ancestors, has passed, and it is the end of the month in a blink of an eye.

Wude Palace was about to start classes again, so Liu Yu said goodbye to her parents early in the morning, put on the uniforms for Wude Palace, and went to Wude Palace with steamed buns.

As a mantou, he couldn't go in, and all the noble families were afraid of their son's suffering, so they sent some caring servants to rent some houses outside the Wude Palace for convenience.

Families like Yi Guogong, considering that future generations would have to go there sooner or later, simply bought a small courtyard there, and assigned a few elderly people there to look after the house.

Wude Palace is located on Taibao Street in the former Ming Dynasty, and it was originally the eunuch's official house in the former dynasty.The so-called official room is the toilet garbage disposal place, where all kinds of toilets in the Forbidden City are sent to be cleaned and stored.

When Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, he wanted to use "female officials" instead of eunuchs in a whimsical way to relieve the suffering of eunuchs. Although it was a benevolent government, it was actually a fantasy.

Li Guo, who is suspected of being a time traveler, also said: Looking at the classics, Tang Mingzong had 100 palace ladies in the inner palace. According to records, it can be seen that a palace of this size can maintain normal operation without eunuchs.This number can be used as the upper limit and recorded as an admonition to future generations.

Later, Li Laiheng tried it for a few years and found it a bit difficult. The imperial power without eunuchs was a problem, so he had to abandon this idea and continue to use eunuchs.It's just that he didn't dare to violate the ancestor's precepts in terms of the number of court ladies. After all, he was the adopted son, and such things as the ancestor's precepts should be treated with more caution.

The original eunuch's office was also used for other purposes, and Wude Palace was built.

It is just across the street from Taixue, and next to it is the Berlin Temple built in the Yuan Dynasty.

Originally, in history, this place was the Lama Temple and Paoju in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, it was changed into a labor camp, so there is the saying of old Paoer in Beijing—people who often enter the Paoju Labor Camp are referred to as Lao Pao.

It is next to the wall of the inner city, quite remote.Across the street, there are the Imperial College and Imperial College.Taixue students and Wude Palace students often fight, which is no longer news in the capital.

Entering the Wude Palace, I saw a group of noble children sighing there.

"It's so easy to rest at home for a month, and it will take another three months. How are you going to live?"

This is not a prison, but to stay here at night, without maids to warm the bed and maids to study ink, these people can't bear it.

Liu Yu is in the dormitory of the Martial Virtue Palace, and he is regarded as the leader of the noble children.One is that he was born in the mansion of the founding duke, and the other is that his assessment results can be regarded as the best among this group of nobles.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.There are also gangs in Wude Palace.

The honorable children look down on those "poor" children who have accumulated military merits to enroll; Not a group of ignorant dudes who can't bear hardships; honest ones, look down on those flattering lackeys.

It is said that Liu Yu is the big one out of the scorpion, and that is what it means.

The best students in the Wude Palace and those who can be promoted to Shangshe are basically the children of the soldiers who came from the "battalion school" in the military camp.

"Mulan Song" says: Twelve rounds of Ce Xun.

Dashun also has a whole set of meritorious service system. In theory, a small soldier can be hacked into a "twelve turns of meritorious service" and a "shangzhu kingdom" by cutting people.

Of course, in fact...

Generally, it is to cut down a Yunqi Captain or a Feiqi Captain, and give his son a chance to enter the Wude Palace.

These soldiers of the world know that learning opportunities are hard to come by, and hard work is beyond the reach of a noble dude like Liu Yu.

The General Zhi and the Shaanxi-Gansu Jiedu Envoy who is in charge of the army in the Northwest today are all descendants of soldiers who climbed up through hard work and military exploits.In the Wude Palace back then, he also yelled wildly after drinking: If you people hadn't had meritorious ancestors to win a prince, how could you be qualified to be my classmate?
The power of role models is infinite, and the general and Jiedu envoy who was born as a child of a soldier in the Northwest today has inspired the fighting spirit and efforts of those who came after him.

In this generation of Martial Virtue Palace, Liu Yu and Tian Ping are the only disciples who can be regarded as highly regarded in terms of knowledge.

It's a pity that Tian Ping has no chance to enter the "Shangshe" in his life.

This guy perfectly interprets what is called "odd fate":
I learned to ride a horse when I was a child, but the horse was shocked and broke its leg. Since then, my body has been as hard as a rock when I got on a horse, and I have always been unqualified in the art of bowing a horse.

Later, when he learned how to fire a blunderbuss, a descendant of Ma Shiyao, Wushan Bo, when Xi’an was established, his chamber exploded when he fired the blunderbuss, and his eyeballs were blown out.Tian Ping was right next to him, his eyeballs stuck to his face, since then he twitched whenever he saw gunpowder, and even hid when setting off firecrackers during Chinese New Year

Later, I learned Western geometry and physics knowledge, and I read the classics and history collections fluently, but I just couldn't understand the theorems and inferences in the original geometry.A proof that the square root of a reverse derivation is an irrational number, Xu Guangqi translated it very clearly, but he still couldn’t understand it after thinking about it for two months; Hearing that the earth is round, no matter how hard I think about it, I can’t figure out why people can’t fall off...

With these three points, it is destined that he can only enter the inner house in the Wude Palace, and there is absolutely no chance for him to go to the upper house.

But when it comes to classics and history, his knowledge is still admirable, at least he can often insult Liu Yu for being ignorant and uneducated.

Today is the first day of class after autumn, and everyone has come. When Liu Yu and Tian Ping go to that stop, people from the honorable circle gather around.

Liu Yu just took the opportunity to gather a dozen people together and talk about something.

"After a while in mid-autumn, I have a good thing to open the eyes of everyone. You have never seen it before. After we have opened our eyes, I will be the host. Let's get together. Who else wants to go?"

After yelling, a few more people came around and left.

We all know that Liu Yu is good at learning Western culture, and likes to tinker with some Western gadgets. They have joined in the fun a few times to open their eyes, but they all feel that it is not interesting.

Those who came around included those who had a good relationship and were purely friendly and supportive, and there were also some children of the "poor family" who really liked Western learning. The "poor family" are not poor people. Those who can go to Wude Palace have at least one honorary title like Captain Yunqi in their parents' generation.

"Brother Shouchang, did you come up with something new?"

"Hey, the things I made this time will definitely open your eyes. Let me tell you, even if Li Taibai is resurrected, if he sees my things, he will write a poem immediately."

Deliberately keeping it secret, without saying what it is, aroused the curiosity of many people.

What is it that can bring Li Taibai back to life and compose a poem?Isn't this guy bragging here?
