Chapter 186: Being vulnerable is normal
The escort arrived so quickly.
I don’t know who arranged the scapegoat.
The emperor sitting on the high platform was admiring people and glanced at the people below.
Most of them lamented that the hot food just served was delicious, but the portion was too small.
Not many people noticed the little eunuch in green.
The little brothers didn't have enough to eat, so they gathered on the eighth brother's desk.
The eighth elder brother just smiled and didn't care about his brothers at all.
The little eunuch in green was led to kneel on the ground, his body unconsciously moving towards the little brothers.
The emperor's eyes flashed slightly.
The young eunuch sent by Liang Jiugong had a strict mouth. The head of the department did not know why the emperor suddenly summoned him to the Shufangzhai where the banquet was being held today.
However, in recent years, they are mostly finishing work, and they probably will not issue new creation orders, let alone cause trouble and need to be punished.
However, the head of the commission who followed him had an idea and asked two young eunuchs to carefully carry a square object on the desk.
Afraid of being injured by small objects, their group arrived a little late.
"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor."
"The Queen Mother is a thousand years old."
"My servant is late, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
…
The emperor was taking a bite of potatoes, a dish with rich meat flavor and delicate texture. It was really difficult to distinguish if you were not careful. He raised his head lightly and wanted to ask the fourth brother to sit down, when he suddenly asked curiously: "What are you carrying? "
The head of the commission said cautiously: "As for the emperor, this is a piece of white glass."
"But he was sent to the palace by the fourth elder brother's house?"
Seeing that they were right in their bet, the boss responded quickly: "This piece is not. But the slaves did use the white glaze sent by the fourth elder brother to make such a small piece."
The emperor was a little anxious: "Open it and take a look."
The head of the commission came on the scene in person and carefully opened the wrapping paper.
Through a thin layer of transparent glass, everyone could vaguely see the figure of the chief official.
The emperor commented: "This is somewhat like a bronze mirror, the light is quite clear. But it is just a smooth piece, and it is not as finely carved and colorful as green and purple colored glaze."
The fourth elder brother stood for a long time and never sat down to taste the hot food. His posture remained tall and firm, unhurried and unhurried: "Khan Ama has a sharp vision. Therefore, such white glazed glass is used to replace windows to improve the lighting and shading of the house." Problems, as well as building flower houses to allow flowers, plants and species to be illuminated and kept warm, the construction purpose is greater than the ornamental purpose.”
"But in the future, with the advancement of technology, it will be possible to create engraved colored glaze while maintaining the hardness. I think it will be more beautiful."
The eldest brother sneered: "As we all know, compared to porcelain, colored glaze is not as gorgeous and fragile. It is just an imported thing from the West, and it is just a novelty for everyone."
"If you really replace the windows with colored glass, they won't be able to withstand the wind or frost, let alone hail and heavy snow."
"In the Imperial City, the Department of Construction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not have to rush around the palaces every day to change windows. There is so much energy and money."
Concubine Rong's Zhongcui Palace is located in the north and is close to Jingshan. She is most afraid of the cold. She said: "Yes, Fourth Brother, if it is just for the sunshine, just open the window when you have free time. If this white glass is replaced, it will be colder." If it breaks, damage to property is the second most important thing, but if it hurts people, it’s serious.”
The waiter Lu Zhi was still on the higher level. She asked with a smile: "I would like to ask my elder brother, have you ever seen the white colored glaze in Lord Nalan's flower room, but it is fragile?"
The eldest brother straightened his chest and looked like a big energetic rooster: "Nalan Mingzhu's family brought it from Lingnan, and it's called Glass."
"The transportation alone is sky-high. It is extremely hard and will not be bullied by wind or frost."
"It cannot be compared with the white colored glaze you made."
When the emperor heard this, he looked unhappy even while eating the delicious potato salad.
The eldest brother thought he had hit on the flaws of the white glaze made by the fourth elder brother: "If you don't believe it, take the white glaze from Si Zao Chu and try it."
Lu Pheasant looked at the emperor's expression.
He nodded slightly.
She opened the red plate held by the little eunuch in the dining room behind her, and selected a medium-sized one from several small items.
"These are the potatoes that everyone just ate. They become soft when steamed. They are lethal but not much."
Everyone saw that the things in Sifujin's hands were dull and ordinary.
Si Fujin walked down the stairs: "Since the eldest brother wants to try it, I wonder if the person in charge is willing?"
"I'm the one who made the decision for Brother Si. If it's damaged, I'll pay another piece to the Department of Construction. It won't be easily smashed by potatoes."
The person in charge has not yet responded, but the person in charge of the commission nodded first: "I can't ask for it. Sifujin, please!"
Head of the Construction Department: "..."
Do you want to steal the skills from the craftsmen in Si Age's house?
What a disgrace to their department!
Forget it, seeing that he is quite smart today and guesses the emperor's thoughts correctly, let him be the master this time.
If that doesn't work, let's see how he deals with this subordinate who made his own decisions and caused trouble for him after he returns.
The head of the commission did not look at his boss's face at all, and very diligently spread the brown paper just now on the ground in two layers.
Lu Pheasant came over with potatoes smaller than a palm.
The fourth brother said to the eldest brother: "Brother, everyone knows that the fourth brother has never been very strong. But Si Fujin's is obviously smaller. Let her try it first. Do you have any objection?"
The eldest brother snorted coldly and expressed that he had no objection.
He didn't see his concubine Enehui's forehead, and cold sweat broke out.
The ominous premonition in Concubine Hui's heart became more and more severe.
Everyone grew taller and looked at Sifujin raising the potatoes in his hands and smashing them down.
"Clang"!
The white glass spread on the kraft paper couldn't withstand Si Fujin's slight fall, and then another smash, and it suddenly broke into countless petals.
Can't be pieced together anymore.
The cold sweat on Concubine Hui's forehead stopped.
This white colored glaze is indeed useless.
There was no problem with Yinzhen's second question.
Lu Zhiran: "Master, I'm really sorry. Could it be that I am too strong?"
The head of the commission was even more ashamed: "What the heck, it's the slaves who are not good at making it. They only imitated the white color and haven't learned the art of compacting it. It's normal for it to be vulnerable."
When the eldest brother saw this, he was happy at first, and then said angrily: "Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law, do you know your mistake?"
"How can such a fragile thing be sent into the palace so easily? If you accidentally injure Aunt Ukumar, Aunt Huang, or Ama Khan, what crime should you be guilty of?"
The head of the commission quickly waved his hand: "No, no, brother, you misunderstood... this is..."
How could the eldest brother listen to the speech of a little person like him? He immediately faced the senior officials: "Khan Ama, what the fourth brother and his wife did was really careless. If we are not punished and do it again in the future, I am afraid that we will endanger many innocent nobles in the palace. "
The fourth elder brother and his wife looked at each other and knelt down again.
Lu Pheasant said slowly: "Khan Ama Rongzhen."
The emperor in the high position suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was somewhat familiar.
I vaguely remember that the last time Ulanara spoke like this, he was talking about "cowpox".
That was truly a meritorious deed that greatly contributed to the Qing Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Kangxi's expression softened somewhat: "Today is a family banquet. You don't have to kneel down all the time. You get up and talk."
