Chapter 462: Heart-to-Heart


"Please stay" Xia Xun and other civil and military officials stood under the Juxian Building, and sent the three princes away first, and the ministers also bowed their hands to Xia Xun one by one, Xia Xun saw Hu Guan, and hurriedly summoned a call, Hu Guan reluctantly stood still.

Xia Xun knew that he was worried about himself for the sake of the people's daughter, so he walked over with a smile and said, "Master Ma, take a step to speak." ” Xia Xun pulled him aside and said, "Donkey, the last time you were a tenant's daughter."

Hu Guanpi said with a smile: "Oh, my housekeeper has already told me about this matter."

The tenant couldn't pay off the debt, and the steward urged him several times to no avail, so he wanted his daughter to come to my house as a maid to pay off the debt.

When I said that I was waiting for the queen mother in Yanziji, I didn't know anything about it, and afterwards I heard that the steward made his own opinion, and I had already reprimanded him fiercely.

Originally, my Hu family did not open a good church, and if I owed a debt, I should pay it back.

My Hu family has more than 1,000 tenants, and if any of them want to die or live, I will forgive the debt, and no matter how big this business is, it will be ruined.

But since Grandpa Guo has intervened, it is a different matter, I have already instructed the steward to forgive his family's debts. ” Xia Xun secretly said "Sure enough, on the road" and his smile became more kind: "Haha, the concubine is polite, I am ashamed to give Yang face like this."

Horse, there is no one else here, let's not say dark words in front of the Ming people, let's be honest, what is the actual situation, hehe, I know it in my heart.

In fact, when Yang also happened to pass by, he didn't want to take care of this matter, who knew that your family was too public, so that the little county lord of Zhongshan Wangfu could see it.

You also know that the daughter's family is soft-hearted, especially for this kind of thing, Yang Mou is looking for it, if I don't care, the county lord is young and vigorous, maybe it will make things bigger, and then he and the horse will not look good, so he will intervene. ” Hu Guan couldn't help but be a little moved when he heard it, he listened to his family's reply, and knew that there was indeed a pretty girl next to Xia Xun at that time, it seemed that she was unrelenting and chased all the way over, but her family didn't know her identity, and he thought it was someone from Yang Mansion, but now he heard Xia Xun say that he knew what it was, and his heart was full of displeasure, but he was really grateful this time.

Xia Xun observed his words and said more earnestly: "Donkey, you and I are both men, I can understand this."

However, the gentleman is lustful, and he takes it in the right way, besides, Chong Horse, your character, family background, status, what kind of woman you want not to get this time, it was seen by the little county lord of Xufu, and I happened to bump into it, which is considered to be suppressed, if it is really publicized, even if the princess does not pursue it much, it is a matter of losing face, and the horse must be careful in the future. ” Xia Xun's words are not compliments, just in terms of appearance, Hu Guan is a little more handsome than him, seven feet tall, with good facial features and heroic spirit.

The official of the Ming Dynasty, the appearance and figure are one of the reference conditions, and the selection of horses is similar to the beauty pageant, the conditions are very harsh, this Hu Guan is indeed a beautiful man.

Knowing the situation inside, Hu Guan's resentment suddenly disappeared, and when he heard Xia Xun's words again, he also listened to his ears, and hurriedly returned the salute: "Yes, Guogong Jin Yu's good words, Hu Mou wrote it down."

It turns out that there is still such a situation inside, Hu really doesn't know, Guogong is so grateful.

Changed to say, changed to Hu to set up a banquet to thank the prince, and the prince must appreciate it. ” "You're polite, you're welcome, hehe" Xia Xun was busy and returned the courtesy, although he was not afraid of Hu Guan, but there was no need to make enemies for himself, now to talk about it, if Hu Guan is still angry, it is that Hu Guan does not know each other, Hu Guan is so on the road, he is also very happy.

After a few more words of conversation and laughter, watching Hu Guan leave on horseback, as soon as Xia Xun turned around, he saw Huang Ligong, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, and Liu Yujue, the servant of Jinyi Weinan, standing at the door of the building waiting.

Huang Ligong was specially left by him, why was Liu Yujue there, he was a little strange, walked back and asked casually: "Yujue, why are you still there?"

Liu Yujue replied with a bow: "Guogong, I also have something to discuss with Huang Shilang, so I stayed." ” Xia Xun suddenly said: "Oh, it's a matter of firearms craftsmen, let's take a walk, this is not the place to talk, let's go to the Ministry of Engineering together." ” Xia Xun's guards led the horse over, Liu Yujue hurriedly took a step forward, took the reins of the horse from the guard's hand, led the horse to Xia Xun's side, and said respectfully: "Guogong, please get on the horse." ” Xia Xun was not polite, stretched out his hand to pull the saddle, Liu Yujue probed his arm and sent Xia Xun to the horse, Xia Xun took the reins from him, Liu Yujue walked to his mount, lightly mounted the war horse, lifted the reins to Xia Xun's side, and when he was half a horse behind, he waited for the reins and no longer stepped forward, just like the Yang family general, but when he did it, it was extremely natural, as if it was natural.

Huang Ligong, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but secretly exclaim, this brocade clothes Weinan Zhenfu must be a cronie of the grandfather of Fuguo.

Fu Guogong is not his boss, but he is called a humble position rather than a subordinate official, which shows the closeness of the relationship between each other, and now as a Ya Zhenfu, he is willing to be Yang Xu's horseman, in Huang Ligong's heart, the evaluation of Fu Guogong is a few points higher.

His subordinates led the horse, Huang Ligong turned over and got on the horse, and subconsciously fell behind half of the horse's body, and Liu Yujue left and right, and went to the Ministry of Industry, and he became a retinue.

When he arrived at the Ministry of Industry, Xia Xun did not disturb Shangshu Zheng Ci, but came to Huang Ligong's signing room with Liu Yujue, sat down with the guests, and served tea, Xia Xun said: "Over there in Dabao'en Temple, what is the construction situation now, the emperor attaches great importance to it, but it cannot be delayed."

I have come here to hear the details. ” Huang Ligong knew that he was looking for himself, and it must be for this matter, so he hurriedly called someone to get the drawings, asked Xia Xun to step forward, and pointed out and introduced: "Guogong, please see, the old site of the Ci'en Temple, with a radius of nine miles and thirteen steps, has been completely cleaned up, and now according to the plan, the foundation is being laid."

The foundation was built in accordance with the requirements of the palace building, and the foundations of the main hall and auxiliary halls were nailed into thick wooden stakes, and then set on fire to turn them into charcoal, and they were crushed and compacted with iron wheels and rolling stones.

The ground is cut off a layer, spread with charcoal, and then spread cinnabar on the top, in order to prevent moisture and insects, and then the auxiliary stone slab, in the temple wall, prepare to build more than 20 palace pavilions, more than 100 galleries, more than 40 rooms.

In addition, it is to demolish the old tower, build a nine-level five-color glazed tower, this tower is ready to build nine floors and eight sides, twenty-six zhang high, not to mention the entire capital, even if it stands on the edge of the Yangtze River dozens of miles away, you can see it clearly.

The body of the tower is pasted with white porcelain, the arch glazed door ticket, the door frame is decorated with lions, white elephants, flying sheep and other Buddhist auspicious beasts, and the top of the brake is inlaid with gold and silver jewelry.

One hundred and fifty-two wind chimes are hung under the corner beams.

The inner wall of the tower body is carved to build a Buddhist shrine, the tower is built with a hundred and forty lamps of Changming lighthouse, day and night, it is estimated that one can consume sixty-four pounds of lamp oil" Speaking of this, Huang Ligong smiled and explained: "This tower is proposed by Master Daoyan of the monk Lu Si Zuo Shanshi, and this tower is built, which can become the first tower of my Ming Dynasty, this great Bao'en Temple, with this unique pagoda, it can be famous all over the world."

Xia Xun nodded, he didn't expect that the monk Lu Division also proposed a renovation plan for the pagoda, originally thought that the old tower in the temple that was more than ten zhang high should be retained, from Huang Ligong's introduction, Xia Xun couldn't help but think of the Tongtian Floating Statue in the movie Tongtian Empire, if this tower is built, it should be very spectacular Although Xia Xun came from the later generations, he had no impression of this tower, so he could only imagine it now.

In fact, this tower was indeed built, and it is indeed famous all over the world, and later European merchants, tourists and missionaries came to Nanjing, and after seeing this magnificent pagoda, they called it "Nanjing Porcelain Tower", and compared it with the Colosseum, Alexander's underground mausoleum, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and called it one of the seven wonders of the medieval world.

The reason why Xia Xun didn't know anything about such a famous pagoda was because during the Taiping Heavenly War, Wei Changhui, the king of the north, was worried that Shi Dakai's troops would occupy the commanding height of the tower and fire cannons into the city, so he ordered this world-famous magnificent building to be blown up.

Later generations have not seen its spectacular atmosphere at all.

Xia Xun asked some more about the situation, the whole Da Bao En Temple under the auspices of the Ministry of Industry, is being built step by step, engaged in construction, people Huang Shilang is a professional, Xia Xun is a layman, and I don't want to ask more, in addition to paying attention to the progress, mainly want to ask what difficulties have been encountered, at this time it is his turn to come forward, as the host, his main role is to communicate and coordinate with all parties to ensure the smooth progress of the project.

Liu Yujue sat next to him and listened quietly, and he didn't mention his own matter until Xia Xun's matter was finished.

Although the firearms craftsmen are all in charge of the Jinyi Weinan Town Fu Division, in fact, the main reason is to keep secrets, firearms are the military industry secrets of the Ming Dynasty, but the firearms craftsmen are only responsible for researching, developing, and manufacturing firearms, and many upstream materials and materials need the cooperation of other departments.

The whole manufacturing process of metallurgy, forging, chemistry and many other departments of the discipline, which is not something that a firearms craftsman can read.

Xia Xun is not responsible for this part, but for the importance of firearms, he sees more far-reaching than anyone in this era, even if he is already keenly aware of the sharpness of firearms, and spares no effort to promote the development of firearms, he is not as good as him in this regard.

Hearing about the development of firearms, Xia Xun pricked up his ears.

Liu Yujue consciously or unconsciously, always put his attention on Xia Xun, originally he was worried that Xia Xun was not interested in this, afraid of delaying his time, wanted to make a long story short, concisely put forward the needs of firearms craftsmen, as soon as he saw Xia Xun was very interested, he changed his mind and said it very carefully.

Although the male style is prevalent in Daming, Xia Xun is obviously not interested in it, and if Xia Xun doesn't like it, he won't do it.

So he didn't dare to let Xia Xun perceive his feelings, he buried everything deep in his heart, as long as he could listen to Xia Xun's voice, or let Xia Xun listen to him, he felt unusually satisfied and happy, if he was a woman, such a deep attachment was touching, but unfortunately he was a man, maybe his biggest regret was that he was not a woman.

At this time, Queen Xu had already sent her little sister out of the palace, the more she thought about it, the more serious she felt, but her husband was reviewing the chapter in the palace, when Zhu Di was dealing with state affairs, Queen Xu would not bother him with family and private affairs, she could only wait worriedly, waiting for her husband to come back, and discuss a way to save the confused little sister who fell in love "The little girl is not worried" Thinking of her sister, Empress Xu couldn't help but sigh deeply.

This little sister is young and withered, and the age gap is too big, although she is a younger sister, she is like a mother and daughter, but she can't be treated as a daughter, so Queen Xu loves her and spoils her very much, and she is not as strict as disciplining her daughter, as long as she wants to, she can't wait to meet all her requirements.

However, it is too ridiculous to ask, it is impossible to agree, this is not only related to the dignity of the royal family, the dignity of the Xu family, in the long run, Queen Xu feels that it is not good for her sister, and she is hot-headed for a while, in the eyes of such an innocent girl, it seems that as long as she can be with her beloved man, how can it be so simple, now I can't think of it, and there will be more times to be distressed in the future.

Maybe it's hard for us to understand, at that time, men were allowed to have three wives and four concubines, not only men thought it was natural, but women were also accustomed to it, Queen Xu didn't care if Yang Xu took a concubine, and why should she care that he had two wives Actually, it wasn't, because concubines had no status, and in people with bigger rules, concubines were not much more noble than maids, but if they had a wife, it would be different.

It's as if a person has had a girlfriend, and the two have had a relationship, which has little impact on his family, but he has been married twice, and then married three times, even if the woman doesn't care, can her parents mind The result is to inquire again, this man has not only been married twice, but also has not completed the divorce procedures with his ex-wife, and the woman's parents Xia Xun have a two-room wife, in Queen Xu's ears, this is the feeling.

Ming'er entered the palace in a sedan chair this time, sat in a sedan chair, and remembered that she finally confided her true feelings to her sister, and her sister also promised to help, and she couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

The small sedan chair is swinging, her heart is also swinging slowly, in a trance, it seems that she has put on the phoenix crown and sat on the sedan chair, and there is a ticking lock sound in her ears The little girl is happier and happier the more she thinks about it, the sweeter she is, but this kind of happiness can't find someone to share, and the taste is really uncomfortable She gently lifted the corner of the sedan curtain, looked at the pedestrians and street scenery rushing by outside the window, and it became more and more difficult to contain the desire in her heart, and suddenly she commanded: "Go to the Fuguo Mansion" Qiaoyun followed the side of the sedan chair, and when he heard the young lady's command, he immediately raised his hand and said, "The young lady ordered, go to the Fuguo Mansion" Ming'er quickly put down the sedan curtain, blushing and thinking: "I went to see Si Yang and Si Xun, and I didn't go to see him on purpose, it should be no problem, I don't know if he is at home, he should be at home."
