The Ming Dynasty started with saving the eldest grandson

Chapter 193 Liuli touches people’s hearts

Chen Jingke wanted to prepare a unique betrothal gift to marry Princess Fuqing, and the news spread quickly.

Say anything.

But due to his status as sending his son to study with him, everyone still had to pretend to admire him on the surface.

But in fact, even those who are waiting to see the joke are actually looking forward to it.

After all, there is even a secret method for giving birth to a son, and it is not impossible to master other secret methods.

one day……

Two days...

Ten days…

a month...

As time passed, public opinion began to shift.

It's been so long and there hasn't been any movement, why is there still no one?

Could it be that it can't be done?

The cynicism began to increase.

Chen Jingke's friends also began to become anxious.

What's going on? Please send me a message.

Xu Da couldn't sit still and ran into the palace to inquire about the situation.

But no results have been obtained, I only know that it is still being studied.

Princess Fuqing was also a little panicked, she couldn't really have failed.

Forty days…

Fifty days...

There are more and more rumors, and when this matter is mentioned in private, it is almost always ridiculed.

Even the royal family was mocked along with it.

Zhu Fan and Zhu Di, who were far away in the feudal territory, all wrote letters to inquire about the situation.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma, who trusted Chen Jingke the most, felt a little uneasy.

They went to inquire about the situation, but Chen Jingke refused to let them in, saying he wanted to give them a surprise.

If you ask again, just say everything went well.

Zhu Yuanzhang tried to break in several times, but was stopped by Queen Ma:

"What if you break in and disturb him? Just trust him."

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "This kid is very appetizing. If what he comes out with doesn't satisfy me, let's see how I deal with him."

However, he was still hoping that Chen Jingke could come up with something good and slap those people outside in the face.

Another ten days have passed, and Chen Jingke has been in seclusion for two full months.

On this day, news finally came out that the things were built, and your majesty and empress were asked to move on.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was in the Jinshen Hall, discussing the independence of the judiciary with his ministers.

When he heard that the thing was built, he immediately left his officials and rushed over.

A group of ministers were left staring at each other...

Then everyone who had nothing to do began to discuss, what kind of thing was built?

Only Xu Da, relying on his good relationship, followed quietly.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything when he saw him.

Halfway through, I met Queen Ma, Zhu Xiongying, Concubine Zheng An and Princess Fuqing.

Apparently they were invited too.

Several people gathered together and arrived at the heavily protected courtyard.

Chen Jingke had already been waiting with a group of craftsmen:

"See your majesty, see your empress."

Zhu Yuanzhang urged: "Where are the things?"

After speaking, he looked around and found nothing.

Others also looked around, but the yard had obviously been carefully tidied up and they didn't see anything.

Chen Jingke pointed to the room next to him and said with a smile: "The things are in the room, everyone can..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang walked over.

Zhu Xiongying trotted behind him, and Xu Da followed him calmly.

Queen Ma and the other women still have to pay attention to their image and walk relatively slowly.

Zhu Yuanzhang and the other two people who entered the house first were stunned when they saw the glassware placed in the house.

Then they gasped in unison.

"hiss……"

Zhu Xiongying even said without caring about his image: "Ah... so many treasures."

Queen Ma and the others who were following behind were even more curious. It seemed like it was really a big treasure to be able to shock the three of them.

My feet couldn't help but move a little faster.

When I entered the house, I looked up and saw the dazzling array of colored glazes, and I couldn't help but be dazzled.

I almost thought I was in a dream.

Chen Jingke followed leisurely, feeling very proud when he saw the unfamiliar expressions of several people.

"Ahem...what do you think of these glazed vessels?"

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored him, walked to a shelf in a few steps, carefully took down a glass vase, and looked at it carefully.

This is a narrow-mouthed vase about a foot tall. The body of the vase is crystal clear, with several flowers inlaid with ruby-like petals.

Chen Jingke's avatar commentator: "The essence of this bottle is the flowers above..."

"The petals are rose-red because gold powder is added to the glass liquid."

"Then while it's still in liquid form, it's inlaid with pieces..."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked doubtfully: "Isn't the gold powder yellow? Why is it red?"

Chen Jingke did not explain the principle to him, but said:

"When gold powder is added to the glass liquid, it will appear this red. It can only be said to be a magical creation."

Zhu Yuanzhang did not ask any more questions, but carefully placed the vase on the shelf and continued to look at other things.

Others also came closer and picked up their favorite glassware to look at.

Zhu Xiongying was the most unique in his performance. He touched this, looked at that, and muttered:

"Auntie's betrothal gift must be put into the internal funds, and everything in the internal funds belongs to the emperor."

"What belongs to Grandpa Huang is mine... These are all mine, all mine..."

It's not that they are making a fuss, they have all seen colored glaze, but they have never seen hundreds of colored glaze wares placed together.

What's more, the exquisiteness of any item here far exceeds those seen before.

If nothing else, the things in this house are enough to meet the next year's annual income.

It is indeed precious.

Concubine Zheng An was holding a hairpin inlaid with flowers. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

But what made her even more happy was that Chen Jingke didn't lie, he really did it.

Princess Fuqing's eyes were glued to Chen Jingke. She liked this man so much.

Queen Ma looked at the glassware in the room and was the first to regain her senses.

She thought of a problem. These glassware were all made by Chen Jingke, which meant that he mastered the production method.

Although the craftsmen also participated in the production, no one knew whether he had any hidden tricks.

Besides, anyone would hide such an important thing.

After all, the value of Liuli is immeasurable, and it must be in your own hands.

But precisely because of this, the problem is even bigger.

If this method is in the hands of individuals, I am afraid that any monarch will not be able to sleep.

Let him contribute...

She couldn't open her mouth about this priceless secret.

But if left in his hands, the relationship that had finally become harmonious would probably fall apart and eventually lead to tragedy.

Xu Da was the second to wake up, and his expression became serious.

how to solve this problem?

Persuade Chen Jingke to hand over the secret method?

Although the two families have a close relationship, he doesn't think he has the dignity to do so.

Put yourself in your shoes, if the secret method was yours, would you hand it over?

the answer is negative.

Whoever dares to say this is a sworn enemy.

Chen Jingke seemed not to notice it and explained the characteristics of various colored glaze wares to everyone. When explaining the glassware, he specially asked someone to bring a pot of freshly boiled hot water.

Pour the boiling water directly into the glass teapot.

Everyone's heart tightened, knowing that glassware is most afraid of heat.

It will break easily when exposed to boiling water.

This is also the reason why there are very few glass tableware.

But after waiting for a while, they found that the glass pot was intact.

Chen Jingke said proudly: "The glass I made is strong and resistant to high temperatures. It doesn't matter even if it is steamed in a pot."

This also means that the application is wider.

Everyone couldn't help but get excited when they thought of the table full of glass tableware.

What is luxury?

This is called luxury.

Finally coming to a shelf covered with red cloth, Chen Jingke said mysteriously:

"Let me show you a bigger treasure. All the glassware in this room are not as valuable as it."

Everyone's attention was attracted again.

Zhu Yuanzhang urged: "Stop being pretentious and lift the cloth quickly."

Chen Jingke stepped forward and pulled off the red cloth. Everyone was shocked to find that a group of people exactly like him appeared on the opposite side.

Zhu Xiongying shouted quickly: "What is this? Is it a soul-stirring monster?"

Queen Ma patted his head gently and said, "Nonsense, this is obviously a mirror, made of glass, right?"

Chen Jingke smiled and said: "The empress has a sharp eye, she is indeed a glass mirror."

Others also reacted and expressed their admiration for this glazed mirror.

It's so clear, every detail is revealed.

Accidentally, I really thought that there was an extra one of me.

Chen Jingke talked about the difficulty of making this mirror:

"A total of four floor-length mirrors were made this time. One is to honor the empress, one is for Concubine Zheng An, one is given to Aunt Xu, and the other is kept for my mother."

It is naturally appropriate to give it to the Queen and Concubine Zheng An.

Giving one to your mother is filial and reasonable.

There is only one Aunt Xu left, Xu Da's concubine Sun.

Although she is a concubine, she is usually in charge of the internal affairs of the Duke of Wei.

She has a very good relationship with Chen Jingke's mother, Feng. It can be said that Feng's current level is all due to her teaching.

Chen Jingke respected her very much and always called her aunt.

Upon hearing this, Xu Da quickly declined: "I accept your offer, but this thing is too valuable and I can't take it."

Chen Jingke said seriously: "Uncle Xu, I don't want to say more words of gratitude. Since you know my intentions, you should accept it."

Queen Ma said from the side: "Given the relationship between our two families, just accept it."

Xu Da then said: "Okay, since the empress said so, I will accept it."

"As you said, there are some things that don't need to be said too much."

"Let me just say this, I recognize your nephew."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything.

It was his plan to marry up nobles and nobles to form a huge network of relationships to jointly safeguard the Ming Dynasty.

He is not worried about marriage or friendship between nobles, but he is worried about who will be the lone wolf.

Besides, Xu Daben is one of the people he trusts most.

Princess Fuqing was originally a little disappointed because she couldn't get a floor-length mirror.

Now I am sincerely happy.

Then I was still blaming myself. I should be satisfied with such a betrothal gift, and I shouldn't force anything else.

Besides, wouldn’t it be enough to make another one later?

After seeing everything introduced, Zhu Yuanzhang said with satisfaction:

"Yes, although your betrothal gift is a bit vulgar, with so many glazed wares, it can be said to be unique. We are very satisfied."

Unexpectedly, Chen Jingke shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this is not a betrothal gift, it is just a sample."

As he spoke, he took out a scroll:

"This is the betrothal gift."

Zhu Yuanzhang's breathing stopped for a moment, his hands clenched into fists subconsciously, and his eyes looked straight at the scroll.

Queen Ma and Xu Da also immediately thought of what it was, and looked in disbelief.

Then he showed a happy smile.

Queen Ma's eyes were full of relief and love. Jing Ke was indeed a good boy.

Xu Da admired him deeply because he knew that he couldn't do it.

At least I would never be able to make such an understatement.

Zhu Xiongying and Princess Fuqing took a moment to react, and looked in disbelief.

Then, Princess Fuqing's eyes blurred with excitement.

This kind of betrothal gift is really unparalleled in the world.

No, never before.

If you get a husband like this, you will not regret it even if you die ten thousand times.

Zhu Xiongying became excited. Jing Ke never disappoints people.

You are indeed my good brother. From now on, I will never eat meat without your bite.

Well...at least the broth will keep you full.

Concubine Zheng Ding was the last to react, and then she covered her mouth in shock.

He was actually willing to use the method of making colored glaze as a betrothal gift?

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and said, "Do you know the value of this thing?"

Chen Jingke nodded and said, "I know."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "Are you willing to give up?"

Chen Jingke naturally knew what to say. He looked at Princess Fuqing and said affectionately:

"In my heart, the princess is priceless."

In this situation, Princess Fuqing could no longer control her emotions, so she threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.

Chen Jingke was caught unawares and staggered back two steps and almost fell down.

Subconsciously threw away the scroll and hugged her.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyelids twitched, and at a speed completely incompatible with his age, he grabbed the scroll before it fell to the ground.

Then he looked carefully and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there was no damage.

As for blaming Chen Jingke? He's not that disgraceful yet.

Moreover, he realized at this time that the scroll was made of paper and would not be damaged if dropped.

It doesn't matter if it breaks. If Chen Jingke can write one, he can naturally write another.

The arrest just now was just a subconscious action.

As for the two people embracing each other in public, no one present felt anything was wrong.

It's just out of emotion.

Only Zhu Xiongying stared at the two of them excitedly.

Zhu Yuanzhang casually handed the scroll to Queen Ma, then laughed and said:

"Okay, we didn't misjudge you."

Then he shouted to the people outside: "Go to Jinshen Hall and let those people come and see our daughter's betrothal gift."

Everyone knew what he was thinking.

Although everyone didn't say anything about it before, they laughed at it in private.

It was not only Chen Jingke who was ridiculed, but also the royal family.

Now that I can finally feel proud, I naturally want to slap those people in the face.

At this time, Princess Fuqing also woke up, her pretty face turned red to her neck in an instant.

He pushed Chen Jingke away and hid behind Concubine Zheng Ding.

"Haha..." Everyone laughed.

"Hehe..." Chen Jingke could only pretend to be stupid.

In my heart, I was still sighing. If I had been so smart in my previous life, I wouldn't have been single in time travel.

But it’s not bad, I finally deceived a girl’s heart in this life.

It's not in vain that I put so much thought into it, this glass betrothal gift is worth it.
