Chapter 28: Cocooning the Little Expert
Returning to Kunning Palace, Hua Houwei took a quick wash and then fell asleep after eating. Wang Zhi, on the other hand, ran to continue playing with the heater after eating.
Three days later, Hua Houwei followed Wang Zhi excitedly and went straight to Cining Palace. The outside of Cining Palace had become a large construction site. Hua Houwei walked around the earthen boiler several times and felt very satisfied. The boilers were all made of iron plates.
, all the joints are riveted, and the gaps are all sealed with soldering and refractory cloth. The boiler is made of refractory bricks made of refractory soil. The pressure gauge is made by the Bank. After testing it several times, the sensitivity is still good.
good.
"Well, not bad! Wang Zhi, have you tried it?"
"Your Highness, it's been burning for two days, and there's no problem! This heater is really good. Your Highness, can I get one for your house too?" Wang Zhi's bloodshot eyes were filled with excitement, for no other reason than, Your Highness.
It feels more reliable than before.
Hua Houwei shook his head and smiled slyly: "The order is wrong. It should be my beloved mother, my dear prince, my hard-working cabinet, oh, and my father, the most noble emperor in the world, and finally me!"
Xu Deqiang ran over: "Your Highness, Your Highness, what else do you need to pay attention to?"
"Well, there's nothing else. Just wrap the pipes with fine linen and don't use glue when connecting them. You are all experts, so I won't give random instructions. I'll just wait for a while to see the effect!"
"Then look at it! It's absolutely no problem!"
Empress Dowager Zhou made room for these construction workers and simply came out to bask in the sun. When she saw Hua Houwei, she smiled and greeted: "Wei'er, come here!"
Hua Houwei trotted over and showed off loudly: "Ancestor, I will let you feel the warmth of spring in a moment!"
Empress Dowager Zhou grabbed Hua Houwei's little hand and giggled: "Okay! The ancestors will feel it in a while! Oh, why do you think this brain is so long? It is much more talented than those number one scholars!"
"What's that? Number one? Humph! That's it! Huh? Now that I think about it, I dreamed of a book. It was very interesting. Would you like to read it, ancestor?"
Empress Dowager Zhou shook her head: "No, my ancestors are almost blind and can't read the book!"
Hua Houwei rolled his eyes, broke away from Queen Mother Zhou's hand, and waved to Xu Deqiang: "Old Xu, have you heard of the story of Journey to the West?"
"I've heard of it!" Xu Deqiang's words made Hua Houwei feel cold, but Xu Deqiang's next words made him smile again. "Isn't it just a matter of the monkey borrowing the banana fan? This monkey is so sexy that he even doesn't let his sister-in-law off!"
Hua Houwei understood that "Journey to the West" is a collection of folk tales and is not original. Now he was relieved! He interrupted Xu Deqiang, who was talking incessantly and looked wretched: "Come on, let's go find a table and a gavel, little
I want to tell stories to my ancestors!"
After a while, the table and the gavel were all ready. Hua Houwei coughed, walked behind the table, picked up the gavel, and snapped: "It is said that a long time ago, there was a blessed land in Dongsheng Shenzhou...
·”
The Empress Dowager Zhou couldn't stop laughing. Hua Houwei was not as tall as the table, so he could only stand on a stool and tell stories, which was too funny. Gradually, as Hua Houwei's childish voice faltered, the Empress Dowager Zhou was immersed in the story.
Not only the Empress Dowager Zhou, but also Sumei and Lamei who were waiting beside her were listening attentively to Hua Houwei's story.
"Well, speaking of which, I'm thirsty, so I'll let you know next time! How about it, ancestor?"
"Don't come down! Sumei, you lazy girl, quickly pour tea for Wei'er, don't you want to hear it anymore?" Empress Dowager Zhou sternly refused and immediately ordered Sumei to pour water.
Only then did Hua Houwei realize that there was a circle of people around him. Even the eunuchs and craftsmen who were working were all listening to his story in the name of rest. Hua Houwei was shocked: "Hurry up and work! This book
It’s growing! I’ll listen to it later.”
Xu Deqiang begged: "Your Highness, this Journey to the West sounds so good. If you could tell me where you heard it from, we can think of a solution!"
"I told you that I dreamed it, how can it be found outside? Haha, forget it, let's leave this kind of profitable business to the company. Ancestor, what do you think?" Hua Houwei enjoys this feeling very much, and it seems that he is vigorously
Developing cultural industries is also a good way to make a small amount of money.
Empress Dowager Zhou was very satisfied. This boy was okay. He had not forgotten his two uncles. So she smiled and said, "It's up to you. You can write it tonight. Now, stand up and say it!"
"Oh, right away!" Hua Houwei shrank his neck, chuckled, raised his neck and drank the tea in the blue and white porcelain tea cup, bang! Another slap in the face: "This Sun Wukong came from the Three Stars Cave of the Setting Moon..."
·”
Another hour passed, the heating pipes had been completely installed, and the sky was gradually getting dark. Empress Dowager Zhou refused to let Hua Houwei go, and insisted on keeping him for dinner, claiming that she would sleep here at night. Her throat was smoking.
Hua Houwei lowered his head and called Wang Zhi over: "Wang Banban, go to Kunning Palace and tell my mother that you won't go back to eat. Do you understand?"
Wang Zhi nodded and rushed straight to Kunning Palace. The palace had been tidied up a long time ago, and the heating had begun trial operation. After staying for a while, Queen Mother Zhou exclaimed in surprise: "Huh? It's really as warm as spring!"
Wei'er, I'll ask your two uncles to rent a shop tomorrow. Oh, the Monkey King and the Giant Spirit God..."
Hua Houwei raised his head feebly: "Ancestor, please take pity on me! I'm only one year old! You can't exploit child labor as hard as you can."
Empress Dowager Zhou laughed: "Hurry! Serve the food and give it to your good grandson. Wei'er, your journey to the west is like a little hook, making people feel heart-wrenching and uncomfortable. You really can't blame me!"
In a short time, the table was filled with dishes. Hua Houwei was really hungry. A pair of chopsticks were flying up and down, which made people dizzy. His small mouth was smacking non-stop, making his little belly bulging.
It's almost like Zhu Bajie's belly.
After eating and drinking, Hua Houwei burped and was racking his brains to think of a way to escape. Queen Zhang is here!
Of course, Wang Zhi was very discerning. He ran to Kunning Palace and reported the whole story to Queen Zhang. He also emphasized that Hua Houwei was in dire straits and urgently needed Queen Zhang's rescue.
Of course Empress Dowager Zhou understood what was going on, and smiled: "Queen, why don't you come and listen to Wei'er's story? Let me tell you, Wei'er's little mouth is really... tsk tsk, you are better off!
"
How can a little quail like Queen Zhang compete with a sparrow like the Queen Mother Zhou? Her face lit up after hearing the Queen Mother Zhou's praise, but she forgot about rescuing Hua Houwei: "Haha, look at what the Queen Mother said. Wei
Is that Journey to the West really so good?"
