The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 192 The Unique Betrothal Gift

After entering the Lizheng Palace, Chen Jingke was not used to not being warmly welcomed by a certain little lolita. He looked around to find his little daughter-in-law.

The corner of the eldest grandson Wugou's mouth curled up slightly, and he said: "Don't look, Meng Jiang, the daughter of Concubine Wei, has been conferred the title of Linchuan Princess, and she is entertaining relatives and friends in the palace, and my little son is also going to join in the fun."

Chen Jingke felt a little disappointed, and asked casually, "Princess Linchuan? But Prince Ji's sister?"

Changsun Wugou nodded and said, "Yes, you know her?"

Chen Jingke shook his head and said: "I don't know him, but I saw him from a distance in the palace. I heard that there is such a person because of his literary talents."

The eldest grandson Wugou agreed: "She is really good at writing, she looks like a saint. Speaking of which, she should have been named a princess long ago, but I was seriously ill a few years ago and my energy was low, so I ignored this matter."

"I found out after reorganizing the affairs of the harem this year, so I asked the saint to canonize her, and as compensation, I also gave her some more food places."

Chen Jingke thought to himself, fortunately your condition is under control, otherwise this Linchuan princess will have to wait.

After the death of her eldest grandson in her previous life, the princess of Linchuan immediately became a little transparent, and was raised in the palace until she was 17 years old.

You must know that in this day and age, a woman Jiji is a big girl before she gets married, and it is common for people to marry at the age of eleven or twelve. Her 17-year-old can be called an old girl.

Thanks to her literary talent and writing articles for Li Shimin, Li Shimin remembered that there was still a daughter in the palace, so he quickly named her Princess Linchuan and married her off.

It is conceivable how chaotic Li Shimin's harem became after the death of his eldest grandson.With her and without her, she is completely different. It is not unreasonable to be called the empress.

Now that she is not dead and her body has recovered, Princess Linchuan finally does not have to suffer anymore.

Not only Princess Linchuan, but also countless people whose fate has been changed. The wings of his 'little butterfly' have already deflected history from the original direction.

As for the rectification of the harem that Changsun Wugou said, he naturally knew that according to gossip, dozens of people disappeared from the palace within a few days.

It can be seen from this that this Empress Wende is not an abusive person, she wants to eat people when she becomes ruthless.

The eldest grandson Wugou asked: "Didn't the sage just assign you a task? Why don't you go to work and come to me?"

Chen Jingke didn't hide it, and directly explained his intentions: "Isn't this going to manage Baiqisi? There are not many generals who will order me. I don't know what to do."

"I have no family generals from a humble background, so I can only come to you for help. I hope you can lend me some of my little si's guards."

The eldest grandson Wugou put down the needle and thread in his hand, and said, "Borrow my little si's bodyguard, which genius gave you this idea?"

Chen Jingke sold Cheng Yaojin directly: "Su Guogong gave me the idea, yes it was him. I asked him how many houses he wanted, but he refused to give it, and asked me to come to you for it."

Changsun Wugou smiled and said: "You are not ambiguous at all when you sell people."

Then he said sternly: "Go and ask him for a general. How did you come up with such a stupid idea? Cheng Yizhen is quite reasonable and didn't mess around with you. Otherwise, let's see how I deal with you."

Cheng Yaojin, named Zhijie, styled Yizhen.

Chen Jingke said with a sneer: "Isn't it common for generals to give gifts to each other? I just wanted to ask Su Guogong, Yi Guogong and Wu Guogong for two each."

The eldest grandson Wugou raised his voice and said: "Can you be like them? Bring dubious people by your side, who can take responsibility if something goes wrong?"

Seeing that she was really angry, Chen Jingke quickly admitted his mistake and said: "Yes, yes, your old man is right, I will never dare again in the future."

The eldest grandson Wugou taught him a lesson: "Don't be glib and out of character, you have to think more about things in the future."

"If you really can't figure it out, discuss it with Sun Zhenren, and isn't your sister Wu very smart, why don't you discuss it with her?"

"Ah, this..." Chen Jingke was embarrassed when the mother-in-law mentioned other women on the spot.

The eldest grandson Wugou squinted at him, and said: "What is this, are you afraid that I will tell you if you dare to do it? You are not old, but you are not young, and you are not young. It has only been a few days to see how many women you have provoked."

"Stuffing two maids in your room can't hold your heart. I really have to seriously consider whether to marry my little son to you."

How could Chen Jingke not understand that she was just making use of the topic to express her dissatisfaction with her profanity.

Although she knew she was trying to scare people, she was still taken aback when she said something about her son, and hurriedly admitted her mistake:
"Don't, don't, Auntie, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, and I promise I will never mess with girls again."

The eldest grandson Wugou was only trying to frighten him, seeing that he admitted his mistake, he took advantage of the situation and said, "Okay, I will give you another chance. But you have to remember, as long as there is another woman by your side, I will take back this marriage."

Chen Jingke wiped away the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and said, "Yes, yes, yes, don't worry, there will never be any more."

Speaking of it, I seem to have gone too far, so I have to be careful in the future.

By the way, what am I here for?Oh man.

He quickly changed the subject and said, "Auntie, you take care of the general's affairs..."

The eldest grandson Wugou said: "Yes, how much do you want?"

Chen Jingke thought for a while and said: "Five are fine, and you must be able to read and write."

The eldest grandson Wugou didn't ask him why he must be able to read and write, but said: "Okay, I'll paddle over for you tomorrow, you just go back and prepare a place for them."

Chen Jingke said happily: "Thank you, Auntie. By the way, there is one more thing. When I go to the military camp in a few days, can you let Xiao Si go with me to strengthen my courage."

Changsun Wugou said dumbfoundedly: "This idea must have been helped by Cheng Yizhen."

Chen Jingke said decisively: "Yes, it is the idea given by Su Guogong, do you think it will work?"

The eldest grandson Wugou pondered and said: "Ordinary military camps are definitely not acceptable, but it is not impossible for Baiqisi to be His Majesty's personal guard. If you are not afraid of losing face, just take her there."

Chen Jingke knew what she meant, and said, "There's nothing shameful about it, my little sis supports me now, and I'll take care of her when I become stronger in the future. This is what husbands and wives should do."

The eldest grandson Wugou said with satisfaction: "It's rare that you can think so clearly, not bad."

Having said that, her expression suddenly became serious, and she said, "I'm going to ask you something, and you have to answer me honestly."

Chen Jingke's heart trembled, and he said, "If you ask, I promise to answer truthfully."

The eldest grandson Wugou stared at him and said, "You really want to marry my little si? ​​Don't you regret it?"

Chen Jingke vaguely guessed the reason, feeling a little excited in his heart, raised his hand and swore: "I really want to marry my little son, and I will love her, take care of her, and never leave her, no matter life, old age, sickness or death. If I violate this vow, I will die a hard death."

The eldest grandson Wugou watched him finish the oath, with a satisfied smile on his face, and said: "Okay, I hope you can remember today's oath."

Chen Jingke said seriously: "Don't dare or forget."

Only then did Changsun Wugou say: "I'm living a good life, three days will be an auspicious day, let Master Sun invite a matchmaker to come find me."

Even though he had already guessed it, Chen Jingke jumped up happily when he heard this: "That's great, thank you, Auntie."

The eldest grandson Wugou smiled and said, "What does it look like like a monkey?"

It took a long time for Chen Jingke to calm down. After thinking about it, he said, "Can you push back the day for a few more days?"

The eldest grandson Wugou said unexpectedly: "Oh, why?"

Chen Jingke said solemnly: "I want to prepare an unprecedented dowry gift for my little son, and it will take some time."

The eldest grandson Wugou asked curiously, "What kind of dowry?"

Chen Jingke said mysteriously: "Keep it secret, you will know when the time comes."

The eldest grandson Wugou said with a smile: "Okay, I won't ask any more questions, but you can always tell me how long it will take?"

Chen Jingke thought for a while and said: "If the materials are complete, it will take a week. If the materials are collected slowly, it may take a month or two."

The eldest grandson Wugou said: "That's fine, anyway, my little si is still young and I don't want to be in a hurry to get engaged for a few days, you go get ready, I'd like to see what kind of treasure it is."

According to the records of "Tong Dian: The Princess's Surrender", the royal wedding in the Tang Dynasty was not special, and it was carried out in accordance with the ancient wedding system.

Na Cai, Asking Names, Najib, Na Zheng, Asking Dates, and Greeting in person are indispensable.

First ask a matchmaker to propose marriage (Naji), and then ask for names and Najib.After confirming that everything is ok, it is time to recruit. In layman's terms, it means that the man is hired.

If the woman is of the right age, the next step is to determine the date of marriage (request period), and finally "welcome" to complete the whole process of the wedding.

If you can't get married in the near future, you can go to the fourth step to accept the levy.The two parties exchange marriage certificates and agree on when to carry out the final two steps.

For example, wait until the girl is 12 or 14 years old to get married.When the appointed time comes, the man invites a matchmaker to come to the door to complete the last two steps.

Chen Jingke also has to follow this rule when marrying a little son, and she is only four years old this year, so she can only proceed to the fourth step of the process, and then exchange marriage certificates and wait for her to grow up.

After chatting for a while, Chen Jingke came out of the palace and went straight back to Zixiao Temple, locked himself in the study and began to recall the chemistry knowledge of his previous life.

The dowry he wants to give to Xiao Si is very simple to put it bluntly, glass.

The technology of burning glass is not unique to the West. China has long recorded glass burning.Just because of the relationship between the materials used, the fired ones belong to lead-barium glass.

Because of its chemical properties, lead-barium glass is fragile and not resistant to high temperatures, so it can only be used as an ornament.

Western soda-lime glass has better quality and high temperature resistance, and has a wider range of applications, and has been fully promoted.

Chen Jingke knows how to burn glass, which is made of quartz sand, borax, limestone and other materials.

The reason for the color is that these materials contain metal elements.The method of removing metal elements is very simple, adding magnesium oxide or aluminum oxide.

He can't do anything about aluminum oxide, he really doesn't understand this stuff.But he knows about magnesium oxide, which has a natural ore called periclase.

In his previous life, he liked to travel and explore, and he knew where there was brucite—calcined brucite is periclase, and purified is magnesia.

Know the material and the rest is simple, trial and error over and over again.After a few more experiments, glass with high transparency can always be fired, and then it will really be a money grab.

This thing is the dowry gift of the little son, it is estimated that Li Shimin will be so happy that he can even wake up from sleep, and the history books will take out a certain amount of pen and ink to record this matter.
