Happy pastoral sturdy little lady

Chapter 293
Eunuch Li looked down at his own toes, and couldn't help but slander: such a good woman, you actually look down on her, and think she is not worthy to be your granddaughter-in-law, it is really unreasonable.

Emperor Anhe sighed, and summoned the minister who drafted the decree: "Pingxi Wang's side concubine Rao Chuyue invented a method of processing rock salt, which can solve the salt problem in the Northwest, and has made a great contribution to the country and the people. The decree is to reward silver 2 Wan Liang, and named her three children Duan County King, Rui County King and Jiashan County Lord."

Shui Qingqian is now a prince, and his children should be named county kings and princesses.However, the canonization is generally available after the age of 15. It is relatively rare for such a young child to be canonized.

It stands to reason that Da Ya has made great achievements several times, so she should be canonized as a concubine.If it's not good enough, you can give her a title.However, An Hedi was very upset and didn't want to flatter her at all.Just transfer the credit to the three children.In the future, if the censor mentions it, he can use this as an argument.

The angel who was in charge of announcing the imperial decree soon came to the Xiaoqing River Basin and the Pingxi Palace.After hearing the imperial decree, everyone present was stunned.

While Shui Qingqian was happy for the children, she couldn't bear the anger of leaving: Da Ya only got 2 taels of silver, other than that, there was no other reward at all!
Grandpa Huang, how could you do this!At least, you have to add a title in front of the side concubine!

His expectation was that Da Ya could become a concubine.

Da Ya's performance was very calm.She knew that her family background was not enough in the eyes of Emperor Anhe.The status of a side concubine is already enough to give her face for Emperor An He.No, it should be said that she got it entirely with credit.

If the eldest brother Xiangdong and Yunwu can become famous in a battle, step into the ranks of generals above the third rank, and if they are famous generals who are good at fighting, wise and brave, then she, a commoner, is qualified to approach the concubine.

Feihuguan Barracks, the largest barracks in Northwest China, has [-] garrisons, and Border Marshal Meng Jian is stationed here.Meng Jian and Zhong Zijian had a good friendship, and they were life and death friends with the mighty general Qiao Anguo. It was Qiao Anguo's wish to place Xiangdong and Yunwu here.

Not long after Xiangdong and Yunwu came here, they encountered a large-scale battle. The two fought bravely and skillfully. In the first battle, they each made a small contribution.What's more, the two are upright and courageous, generous in fighting, both civil and military, how do you look like a Confucian general.For this reason, it has won the likes of most people, and its popularity is quite good.

After World War I, even if the two had gained a firm foothold in the Feihuguan barracks, they had several comrades in arms who had a good relationship.The more than 300 soldiers I brought with me were finally convinced by the two of them, and the few thorny heads became more honest.

However, both were wounded in the battle.Although it was not a serious injury, it still gave Da Ya a big jump.In the past, she didn't face up to this problem because the brothers were in the rear, and the probability of injury was very small.

She dragged Shui Qingqian into the space, and found a book about armor. The two of them studied for several days, and finally decided to build a light and protective armor for the soldiers.The focus of the guard is on the front chest and back, and the best materials should be used in these two places.

Da Ya said again: "It would be even better if steel can be made! Steel can be made very thin, but it is a hundred times better than iron and copper." Then he found another book on steelmaking and handed it to To Shui Qingqian: "Take this book and read it, and study it carefully. I am not interested in making iron and steel, nor do I have the talent for it!"

However, this book is in simplified Chinese, and the basic book that Shui Qingqian read before happened to be in traditional Chinese.

Shui Qingqian flipped through the pages, and there were few words he knew: "I don't know this word, so I have to trouble you to read it for me, okay?"

Da Ya: "Okay." How could she refuse this request?
Fortunately, there are two such books in total, so Da Ya gave Shui Qingqian one, and asked him to compare the characters in the book while she was studying, and also learn simplified characters.You know, [-]% of the books in this library are in simplified Chinese.

In order to take care of him, she read it slowly, and when she encountered important and difficult points, she would read it several times, study and ponder with him.It took the two of them two days to thoroughly understand the book.Then, Shui Qingqian went to find a master in smelting to study together how to smelt steel.

A total of more than a dozen masters in smelting were found. After five months, the steel with very good quality was finally released!Armors with steel as the main raw material were also manufactured. There are five types in total: those worn by marshals, those worn by generals, those worn by ordinary soldiers, those worn by cavalry, and those worn by scouts.

Among them, scouts wear the most convenient, which is the need of the nature of the scout mission.Steel is only added to the front chest and back, and lighter materials are used elsewhere to reduce weight.Moreover, the armor of the scouts is worn inside, and there is also a robe on the outside.

The Marshal's armor is both practical and beautiful, and it is also the most expensive.In terms of weight, it's a little bit heavier, but it's at least ten catties lighter than the old marshal's armor made entirely of copper and iron.Wearing it on the body is naturally much more comfortable.

"Very good, much more durable, and much lighter! In the future, on the battlefield, the whole person will be much more flexible, can kill a few more enemies, and can greatly reduce the degree of danger! My lord, thank you, thank you very much! Giving the last general such an armor is equivalent to giving the last general a talisman, and it's almost like a life-saving favor!"

Meng Jian was very satisfied, and was inexplicably grateful for Shui Qingqian.

Shui Qingqian: "This armor was proposed by the princess, and she also provided the steel manufacturing method for this armor. If you want to be grateful, thank her, she is the number one hero!"

Since coming to the Northwest, Shui Qingqian has always called Da Ya a princess in front of outsiders, and firmly refuses to recognize her as a side concubine.Moreover, every time he is justified and confident, without any guilt or embarrassment.Originally, Da Ya was his wife, and she was still his first wife.She gave birth to a few more children for him, and logically speaking, she should be the justifiable Concubine Pingxi.

As a good friend of Zhong Zijian and Qiao Anguo, Meng Jian had long received letters from them, in which they asked Meng Jian to lend a helping hand to Da Ya when necessary.Shangguan Chengneng often went to Xiaoqinghe Oasis, and sent a large number of veterans with good moral character and ability to Xiaoqinghe Oasis.It was also Meng Jian who gave a lot of convenience behind the scenes, otherwise, it would have been absolutely impossible to do it with Shangguan Cheng's strength alone.

In Meng Jian's heart, he also admired and sympathized with Da Ya very much.Therefore, Meng Jian was not at all surprised that Shui Qingqian called her "Princess", but took it for granted.

"Wow! This turned out to be the idea of ​​the princess. Thank you very much, thank you, princess! Thank you, prince! This is the result of the joint efforts of the prince and princess. You have brought good news to the soldiers. On behalf of the soldiers at the border, thank you for your support." Work hard! I will finally ask for credit for the prince and princess!"

Meng Jian gave a military salute to Shui Qingqian, his face was full of excitement and joy.

Shui Qing smiled faintly: "The main credit for this is the princess, she is the number one hero. This king just summoned more than ten masters to research it together according to the manufacturing method provided by the princess!"

Meng Jian: "Okay, the general understands!" This is easy to understand, the princess is the first hero, and this is what the prince wants to emphasize.

Alas, he is so affectionate to his first wife, it is really touching!I hope that the lover can get his wish, grow old together, and live happily ever after.

When Emperor Anhe received Meng Jian's request for credit, he looked at the sky speechlessly.

What, why is it her again?There is her everywhere!What's going on.Are her abilities and popularity really that good?How come there are so many people who speak for her and ask for credit for her?Moreover, it seems that they are all willing.

For the first time, Emperor An He fell into deep thought on the issue of Da Ya.

A month later, Xiaoqinghe welcomed another angel from the capital.

Rao Daya, Rao Chuyue, King Pingxi's side concubine, was named "Side Concubine of Good Virtue".A side concubine with a title is completely different from a side concubine without a title.A side concubine with a title and the word "good virtue", even if King Pingxi marries another concubine in the future, the subsequent concubine will not be able to touch a finger of her.

In other words, Da Ya's current status is not much different from that of Zhengfei.Unless, that concubine is also dubbed "Princess Shande".Otherwise, he is not qualified to do anything to the side concubine Shande.

Shui Qingqian finally breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

In the history of Lan Kingdom, it was unprecedented for a side concubine to be given such a noble title.Grandpa Huang is willing to do this, which shows that Da Ya has already occupied a certain position in his heart.From this point of view, at least within five years, Grandpa Huang will not marry another princess for him.Unless Da Ya committed some serious mistake, otherwise, the position of Pingxi Wangzhengfei is very likely to belong to Da Ya!
It's just that there is no way to guarantee whether Grandpa Huang will force other women to come in as concubines and concubines.With Grandpa Huang's usual performance, this possibility is still very high, so the most urgent thing is to coax Da Ya well, make her change her mind, and stop sleeping in separate rooms with him!Otherwise, once Grandpa Huang finds out about it, he will definitely send ten or eight women over immediately!
Da Ya must not be able to accept such a situation, and he is not happy to see it either!What he wants is to live happily with Daya, Tiantian and Chuanjiang.Of course, having two sons and one daughter would be perfect, nothing more!

The arrival of the angel shocked Da Ya a lot!

The title of "Side Concubine Shande" made Da Ya a little dumbfounded, her thoughts were different from Shui Qingqian, she deeply felt it was a shame.

In the dead of night, she and Shui Qingqian talked heart-to-heart in the space.

Da Ya: "If it was Princess Sundeok, I would be very happy and grateful. However, she is just a concubine, so does she deserve such a noble title?! For me, it is almost like being beaten in public. It's like a slap in the face, I only feel a deep humiliation!"

"Yue'er, think for the best in everything. Perhaps, Grandpa Huang has good intentions." Da Ya's reaction made Shui Qingqian very powerless.

I have to say that there is some truth in what she said.

Alas, the same is true for Grandpa Huang, so why not just make her a concubine?
Da Ya: "I don't have this feeling. I can't think that he is kind. If he really wants to reward me, he should give me the position of princess. He rescued Zhen Xing and raised him carefully, planted Cotton, the discovery of coal, and the processing of salt, how can these credits not be worth the nothingness of origin? The wife's family is a powerful family, is it really that important?
I regret it very much now, why didn't I resolutely stop Big Brother and Brother Yunwu from going to the border?There is absolutely no need, no matter how hard they try, in the eyes of the emperor, the Rao family is still a commoner with no background, and there is no comparison with those so-called aristocratic families or noble families!Let’s just say that my eldest brother has become the Grand Marshal of the border. In the eyes of the emperor, I am not qualified to be the concubine of Prince Pingxi! "
