Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 726 Summoned
Dong Shuyu hugged her sister and kept crying.

Dong Cheng also kept wiping his tears there.

As for Zhu Xiuyuan, his mind wandered to nowhere...

Let's talk about Dong Shuzhen, being hugged by her sister. This hug is like a mother's warmth. She likes this feeling very much.

But... Dong Shuzhen was very confused.

I don’t know why my sister is like this. Didn’t she cry just now at the dock outside the city?Why are you still here?

While Dong Shuzhen was moved, she was also thinking hard... Suddenly, Dong Shuzhen's eyes widened and she raised her hand to look at the broken earthen pot. In an instant, she seemed to understand everything.

"Dad, sister, I think you have misunderstood!"

Dong Shuzhen remained motionless because she was being held by her sister. She quite liked this warm feeling.

"Ok?"

Dong Cheng stopped wiping his tears, and Dong Shuyu also stopped crying, looking slightly surprised.

"The most precious thing I'm talking about is not this earthen pot, but the stuff inside! Salt, refined salt! This is the most precious thing!"

Like a fighter telling the truth, Dong Shuzhen gently broke away from her sister's embrace. She held the earthen jar in one hand and took a small bowl with the other. She poured a few snow-white salt grains from the earthen jar into the small bowl with a gentle tilt. middle.

There was about as much as the bottom of a bowl. If there was any more, she would feel it was a waste.

"Salt?!" Dong Cheng was surprised.

"Salt?!" Dong Shuyu was taken aback.

"Yes, it's refined salt, No, look at it." Dong Shuzhen handed the small bowl to Dong Cheng and Dong Shuzhen, and then said proudly: "This is your husband's masterpiece on the desert island. This kind of refined salt is better than any other salt in the world." Better, whiter, and without any bitterness!”

After finishing speaking, Dong Shuzhen glanced at Zhu Xiuyuan.

However, she found that her husband's face was a little dark...

Dong Cheng and Dong Shuyu were very curious. They stopped crying and came over to observe carefully.

What I saw in the small bowl was indeed salt, very white, without a trace of color. If you look closer, you can see that the salt grains are clear, like crystal-like fine sand...

"This...this is salt!"

Dong Cheng was amazed and looked very solemn. He dipped his finger into a little salt and put it in his mouth to taste.

Dong Shuyu followed suit and took it with a grain of salt.

When the salt grains entered his mouth and he tasted it for a moment, Dong Shuyu was suddenly shocked. He stood there, motionless, like a sculpture.

Dong Shuyu is a master of cooking. He is familiar with the kitchen and is naturally familiar with various seasonings.

She is naturally very familiar with things like salt.

Whether it was the former Dong Mansion in Jiangzhou or the current Shenleihou Mansion, they were both homes of nobles, and the salt used was high-quality rock salt, snow salt, and the like.

Dong Shuyu knew very well the value of rock salt and snowflake salt, which were very expensive!
However, the refined salt that Dong Shuzhen calls is far superior to rock salt and snowflake salt in terms of appearance, saltiness, and bitterness!

OMG!

Dong Shuyu realized that a new kind of salt had appeared in this world!
In every aspect, it far surpasses rock salt and snowflake salt!
Dong Shuyu is a young talented woman who knows how to do business. In an instant, she had a very clear understanding of the value of this refined salt!

So from the outside, Dong Shuyu was far more shocked than Dong Cheng.

"Zhen'er, you said...this is Lord Marquis on...a deserted island..." Dong Shuyu seemed incoherent.Dong Cheng frowned when he saw this. This was the first time he saw his eldest daughter behave like this.

At the same time, Dong Cheng also realized that this refined salt was extraordinary.

In ancient times, salt was the lifeblood!
It’s a hugely profitable industry!
At the same time, it is also a tool for the imperial court to rule the people of the world!
Naturally, salt can also affect the relationship between countries!

Yes, the first thing Dong Cheng thought of was the "diagnostic and therapeutic value" of salt.

But Dong Shuyu was thinking of the economic value of salt and the fame it could bring.

...Dong Cheng and Dong Shuyu were stunned and just wanted to arrest Zhu Xiuyuan and ask him clearly. But at this moment, a servant came to report that a eunuch had come to the palace, and asked Zhu Xiuyuan to enter the palace immediately to face the emperor!
"My son-in-law, His Majesty summoned you, it is unusual, hurry up and change clothes to enter the palace!"

Dong Cheng suppressed all the doubts in his heart. In his opinion, no matter what happened, nothing was more important than the emperor's summons.

"Okay, then I'll go to the palace first. My father-in-law, Shuyu, and my wife, I'm afraid they won't come back so soon after entering the palace. You guys should rest early after eating, don't wait for me!"

After finishing his instructions, Zhu Xiuyuan returned to the main house, where he was served by the little maid Qiu Wen, changed into court clothes, and then hurried to the door of the house.

People from the palace are still waiting there.

"Eunuch Liu, long time no see, haha..."

The eunuch who came to take Zhu Xiuyuan into the palace was still an old acquaintance, Eunuch Liu.

"Oh, Lord Marquis, don't take it seriously!" Eunuch Liu became even more humble, "Master Marquis, Your Majesty is still in the palace waiting for Lord Marquis to attend the banquet. Lord Marquis, hurry up and invite me!"

Zhu Xiuyuan nodded and stepped onto the chariot brought by Eunuch Liu.

Soon, the chariot set off.

Behind the convoy, there was also a carriage from the Marquis Mansion. Yan Dashan personally led dozens of generals to follow...

After a while, the chariot stopped at the root of the imperial city, and everyone got out of the car and walked through Chengtian Gate, all the way to the Meridian Gate.

Because Eunuch Liu was on duty, after showing his waist card, he walked in with Zhu Xiuyuan and went straight to the venue of the banquet - Fengtian Palace!

Tonight, the lights in the palace are brightly lit, just like daytime. Eunuchs and maids are constantly coming and going, and they are walking in a hurry, and they don't know what they are busy with.

Just now in the chariot, Zhu Xiuyuan had learned from Eunuch Liu that Emperor Chen was hosting a banquet for Zhu Xiuyuan. He was the host and guest, but there were also many accompanying guests.

DPRK officials, as well as some members of the royal family, were all invited.

It has the meaning of "banquet with hundreds of officials", which is enough to show that Emperor Chen attaches great importance to Zhu Xiuyuan.

Soon after entering Fengtian Hall, Zhu Xiuyuan walked slowly into the hall and looked around.

As expected, there were many "accompanying guests" on both sides of the hall, including Prime Minister Li Zhong, six ministers, and generals stationed in the capital, such as Han Qingshan.

However, most of these people are new faces and have never been seen before.

Zhu Xiuyuan thought: "It seems that the great purge after the war really purged many ministers! This time, I shouldn't be blamed!"

Seeing Zhu Xiuyuan walking into the hall, Prime Minister Li Zhong, Han Qingshan, and all the "accompanying guests" present all had different thoughts. With this little Jiujiu of his own... I won't go into details one by one.

Zhu Xiuyuan looked at the front of the hall, above the imperial steps.

Emperor Chen and Concubine You were all dressed in fine attire, sitting upright on dragon chairs and phoenix chairs, looking at Zhu Xiuyuan slowly approaching with a smile on their faces.
