Another "?" popped up on Jiang Liniang's head.
Want to talk to me?
What can we talk about?
The Shaofu also has cement recipes.
It can’t be that you’ve fallen in love with me, right?
Jiang Liniang touched her face and said to herself that we don't have the capital to be a green tea!
How strange!
…
The next day Pei Renfang arrived at Tingwei's office and heard two pieces of gossip.
The first one is that King Baling took office as the Great Sinong.
The second one was Shi Yanhong, the former chief of Baling Prince, who was transferred to Shangshutai.
After hearing the news, Pei Renfang's eyelids jumped - King Baling, the Great Sinong?
Putting these two terms together in the past, the first word that came to her mind was that wind, cattle and horses are unrelated. How could she have imagined that the emperor would really put them together?
And Yanhong, the chief minister of Baling Palace...
Pei Renfang vaguely remembered that he was an official because of his talent and learning, and was valued by Geng Zhang. He married Geng Rong's cousin, but the divorce ended within two years. After that, Mrs. Geng took her with her. The son returned to his parents' family, and from then on the Geng and Yan families had no contact with each other.
Geng Rong was so powerful in the court that Yan Hong was naturally frustrated. He never thought that he would be used now...
Pei Renfang opened the file, but he still felt that this matter was strange in his heart - since the emperor knew about her quarrel with King Baling and was willing to cover it up for her, why did he put King Baling in such a important position?
Is today's mind really so broad-minded that he is even willing to reuse someone who once competed with him for the position of prince?
After thinking about it again, she felt relieved.
The emperor could even accept her, a woman disguised as a man, occupying the court, so why not appoint a King of Baling?
let it go.
Pei Renfang was multitasking. After reviewing the files at hand, he went to pick up another one. At this moment, a gloom suddenly fell in front of him.
She looked up and saw a familiar-looking chamberlain, looking at her with a smile and asking, "How is Mr. Pei?"
Then he gestured with his hand and said, "Please, your Majesty will summon you."
…
Pei Renfang followed the chamberlain into the Weiyang Palace and walked up the stairs to the main hall. While he bowed down in earnest, he was also worried in his heart - why did the emperor think of summoning her?
When she first knew that her true identity had been revealed in front of the emperor, and when she went to the palace to see her, the emperor never saw her!
Could it be that - she thought of the gossip she had just heard not long ago, that King Baling was appointed as the chief agricultural officer - maybe it was related to this matter?
Pei Renfang's thoughts were racing, but his face was calm, and the emperor did not sell out to her. He said straight to the point: "I heard that Pei Shaojian is doing business with Shi Gong's female disciples?"
Shi Gong’s female disciple—Liniang? !
How could the emperor know her? !
Pei Renfang's heart jolted, fearing that the emperor had bad intentions, he quickly considered his words in his heart, and replied respectfully: "Just as your Majesty said. The elder brother of Jiang's daughter is the maker of Jiang's stone. She I have been around my brother for a long time, and I have learned a few skills. My little daughter is just messing around, but I didn’t expect that I would be lucky enough to be known to your majesty."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard that she was carefully covering up Jiang Liniang, he couldn't help but nodded secretly. Regardless of the outcome of his previous life, this person's thoughts were not bad.
He had no intention of playing Yunli and Wuli's tricks, so he said bluntly: "But I heard that that little lady is very smart and what she does is quite interesting. Pei Shaojian - can you trouble me? You set up a bridge and asked me to join in?"
Pei Renfang was stunned at first, and then shocked again.
…
Jiang Liniang just experienced a failure.
To create something from scratch, even if there are recipes and production procedures, you will inevitably encounter various problems in the process.
For example, because the bubbles in the glass solution were not stirred out by stirring, the final product was very unsatisfactory...
Fortunately, this was only the initial experimental stage, and the input of raw materials was not much, so Jiang Liniang could not afford the loss.
The temperature in the kiln was much higher than outside. Jiang Liniang was covered tightly all over. She couldn't bear the heat anymore, so she went out to get some air. By chance, someone came to her at this time: "Young Master Pei sent someone to give Li a bath." The girl is delivering a letter."
Jiang Liniang didn't feel anything was wrong at this time, so she untied the cloth strips wrapping her hair, washed her hands and went out, only to see the boy who usually accompanied Pei Renfang waiting outside, followed by a white-faced man with a beardless face and hands hanging down. A middle-aged man standing by.
Nowadays, most men regard beards as a sign of beauty, and young men like Pei Renfang are just fine. More than 95% of middle-aged men have beards. Jiang Liniang took a few glances, and then thought of what Yuan Niang said before, and suddenly she felt blessed. soul.
Perhaps, he was sent here by his future brother-in-law!
The words of the Pei family boy confirmed her suspicion: "Miss Jiang, my young prisoner is hosting a banquet in Qiyun Tower. Please be sure to go there today. He has a distinguished guest who is very interested in your business, so he entrusted you with it." Young Supervisor, please come over..."
A middle-aged man who is suspected to be a chamberlain, a guest that Pei Renfang respectfully calls a distinguished guest. Putting the several conditions together, who is the future brother-in-law?
Jiang Liniang recalled what her cousin said, and she pictured a gentle young man with a warm smile in her mind. She immediately agreed and asked, "Do you want me to go alone?"
The boy hesitated for a moment, then the middle-aged man continued with a smile: "That's not true, there are also people going to the Shaofu Yamen to ask for your brother."
Jiang Liniang said "Oh", then went to her residence to change clothes, took Huzhou with her, and took a carriage to Qiyun Tower.
When they arrived at the place, the young man and the middle-aged man led the way, one on the left and the other on the right. After going up to the second floor, they turned to the door of a private room. The middle-aged man said respectfully: "Master, I have invited Miss Jiang to come over."
Someone inside responded, and then the door opened from the inside.
Thinking that this was her first time meeting her future brother-in-law, Jiang Liniang put a polite smile on her face. After entering the door, she took a quick look and saw a young man on the upper left side, with Pei Renfang on the right.
In terms of face alone, Pei Renfang is naturally better than the former by thousands, but the majesty and magnanimity surrounding the former are infinitely better than Pei Renfang.
He is worthy of being an emperor!
Um?
Wait - something seems not quite right?
Jiang Liniang frowned in confusion, then turned her head to look at Pei Renfang.
Pei Renfang pursed his lips and looked at her with a reserved expression.
Jiang Liniang raised her gaze a little higher and finally realized what was wrong.
The three words "Female Number One Scholar" on the top of Pei Renfang's head disappeared.
replaced by……
Sisters, run away! ! !
Jiang Liniang: "..."
Um? ? ?
Chapter 61
Jiang Liniang stared at those four words blankly, speechless for a moment.
Ah this...
what's the situation?
Sister, if you are kidnapped, just blink!
Obviously, Pei Renfang couldn't get what she couldn't say.
She couldn't even open her mouth to remind her.
This was the first time that Zhu Yuanzhang saw this sister-in-law who was carrying a secret. His eyes swept over her face, and her expression became more kind.
She looks a bit like an old wife!
He just looks a bit silly and not very smart.
Why are you standing at the door and not going in?
The middle-aged chamberlain who was standing at the door leading the way was also a little puzzled and urged softly: "Miss Jiang?"
Jiang Liniang suddenly came back to her senses: "Ah."
She glanced backwards with her peripheral vision unnoticeably, and saw that the stairs she had just come to were guarded. Obviously, she had no way to retreat, so she had to move forward.
Jiang Liniang forced a smile and walked in, but her mind was spinning rapidly.
How do you come back to your senses?
She thought: Is it really a kidnapping?
That's impossible - when he went to the Shi's house to pick him up, only the boy and the middle-aged man came in. If it was really a kidnapping, and the boy was not stupid, how could he not ask the Shi's for help?
But if that's the case, those four words shining brightly above Pei Renfang's head...
By the way, is the person next to her my brother-in-law?
Jiang Liniang was so confused that she unexpectedly took the initiative to reveal her identity: "Your name is Liniang, right? Has Yuan Niang ever mentioned me to you?"
Oh, it’s brother-in-law!
Jiang Liniang felt relieved.
She subconsciously raised her head to look at the top of the other person's head.
Then Jiang Liniang froze.
Just three words.
Zhu Yuanzhang.
Ah this.
what's the situation?
...can nouns be used as adjectives?
On the opposite side, Zhu Yuanzhang was still talking to her gently: "Yuan Niang has always told me that her sister is smarter than others since she was a child. At that time, I was still half-convinced. Then I heard about the cement thing and your recent plan. , I feel that my reputation is well-deserved.”
"Whether you are short of money or short of manpower, just speak up. Is there a shareholder in the world who is more generous than my brother-in-law? Oh - you are called a shareholder, right?"
Jiang Liniang: "..."
