Chapter 61 Small things are not trivial

When he returned home and walked through the big garden of the royal palace, Liu Mingqi unexpectedly found that his father was sitting on a lounge chair under the eaves in a daze.

It looks a little worried.

The boy was surprised and stepped forward and asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you? Are you worried about when the "Liang Zhu" will start?"

The first round of rehearsals of "Liang Zhu" include "apart from home", "swallowing sworn brothers", "received each other", "shocking", "shocking", "shocking", "refusing to marry", "sacrificing to the grave", and "turning into a butterfly". Liu Mingqi has already played the role of Xiao three times in the eight paragraphs.

Even Liu Mingqi felt that Boss Su was Zhu Yingtai in her heart, but she still felt that she was not satisfied enough.

Boss Su not only pestered Liu Mingqi and continued to excel, but also went crazy, thinking about who to come to play Liang Shanbo every day.

Liu Mingqi is definitely the best candidate, but she is Prince Yu. Even if Xiao Suqin recommends her own pillow and is willing to be his little kiss, Princess Yu will never agree to the prince's performance on stage.

Even Prince Yu didn't support him very much.

So Boss Su must find a young actor who can play with him very well to play Liang Shanbo.

But after Liu Mingqi's peak performance, Xiao Suqin's vision has now become surprisingly high. Moreover, this is the "creational work" of her "grandmaster", so she will not be careless.

Recently, Xiao Suqin has found more than 20 famous young actors in the capital and threw out intercepted paragraphs to them, but the results are not satisfactory.

Even Guo Shaohua, the first corner of the capital, was thirty-seven years old, so Xiao Suqin, who wanted to be perfect, turned it off directly because she was thirty-seven years old.

If it weren't for hers, she would even feel that her 23-year-old girl should be suitable for her 18-year-old actress like Longanyuan.

It was precisely because Xiao Suqin was not looking for people everywhere that King Yu’s wish to actually see "Liang Zhu" on the stage early was exhausted, and he was always nagging during this period.

Faced with his son's concern, King Yu shook his head, "It's not this, it's... it's your emperor grandma."

"Grandma Emperor?" Liu Mingqi was shocked, "What happened?"

"It's not a big deal." King Yu sighed: "Today your mother went to visit her in the palace, but she found that she was scolding her close-knit palace maid. When asked why, she refused to tell at first.

After asking for a long time, your grandmother said that it was because she was old and now she needed someone to support her when she went to the toilet, which made her feel very uncomfortable, and even felt that she would not have much future.

Alas! Your grandmother is about to celebrate her sixty-sixth birthday. She is in a bad mood and is worried, but she is not good for her future life!"

Entering the toilet is a small matter, but it is actually not small.

Not only because it can expel filthy things from the body and make yourself relaxed, but also because it also affects people's mood very much.

For example, when you are constipated, when hemorrhoids occur, when you are strong anus, etc., if you encounter these, you won’t feel very good all day long.

Don’t underestimate the role of mood on work and study, it has a great impact.

Even modern times have all kinds of troubles, let alone ancient times.

It’s just that ancient people talked about this matter very shyly, so it was not widely circulated.

Of course, with the continuous changes of dynasties and the continuous advancement of various technologies, it is much better now.

At least now the paper has been created and can be used to wipe it, without the need for many princes and nobles to use toilet chips as they used to be - or they would use silk and linen and wash and wash.

But these papers are not soft enough, they are too soft and too rough, and often easily scratch the delicate parts.

Then the way of entering the toilet has also changed.

It used to be the type of squatting, but it still exists in many rural areas in modern times, just for compost.

In the past, even the emperor went to the toilet like this.

Among them was a talented and stubborn Duke Jing of Jin, who caused the first tragedy in history.

"Zuo Zhuan" records that Duke Jing of Jin "was about to eat, rise, go to the toilet, and dies."

What does it mean?

At that time, Jin Jing took a bowl of wheat rice to eat, but felt his stomach bloated, so he decided to go to the toilet and emptied it before eating it. In the end, he was "sank and died."

It’s different now. Those who have the conditions will sit on a specially made toilet. When you want to go to the toilet, the servant can carry it over to you directly.

Liu Mingqi used toilets at home. They were shaped a bit like modern toilets, but the bottom was flat and the depth was different.

Although it is not as convenient and clean as modern, every time I use it, the maids and servants will clean it and send it back, which is not very annoying.

However, toilets also have many disadvantages. The biggest is that they do not refer to ergonomics, and they vary in size, shade, height and height. Many people are not used to sitting. Even if they are used in the royal palace or palace, they have many defects.

Even if the toilet edges are covered with a layer of cushion, you will feel hot and unhappy in summer.

Even because it is made of wood, the smell is not only very strong when entering the toilet, but sometimes it leaks out... It's so disgusting.

Liu Mingqi is a man and has been busy making money recently, so these trivial things are still tolerated.

But when Liu Mingqi heard his father talk about the empress dowager's irritability, he also empathized with it.

"It just so happens that I don't know what gift to Grandma the Emperor. Since Dad, you said this, I'll make a toilet for her!" The young man said immediately with ambition.

King Yu was stunned.

He looked at his son and thought he had heard something wrong.

Liu Mingqi said: "Dad, you heard it right. The toilet I made is different from the ordinary ones. It is sure that Grandma Huang likes it."

"Why didn't I know that you still have this ability? You can still do woodworking work?" King Yu was still surprised.

"What kind of woodworking work? This is porcelain work!" Liu Mingqi shrugged, "Dad, I'll go for dinner first. You should hurry up and find a few porcelain masters to come over. If you want to be more reliable, I'm of great use."

"oh……"

King Yu felt dizzy and had no idea whether he should trust his son.

...

After Liu Mingqi had dinner, she worked in the study for a long time. After receiving a notice from Dazhu, two middle-aged porcelain masters were already sitting in the side hall of the front hall.

When they saw Liu Mingqi, they quickly stood up and saluted: "Jin Xi (Chen Laowu) has met Your Highness!"

The two of them had frost on their faces, their fingers were rough, and they seemed to have a layer of lime on their clothes. They looked like old craftsmen, but there was no ordinary people panic when they saw the prince.

"Sit down." Liu Mingqi said after taking the seat, "Which kiln do you do work in?"

"If you want to go back to your highness, we are all porcelain masters from Anyao. Lao Wu and I have worked for twenty-one years." Jin Xi replied.

"You all know each other?"

"Yes, we are all from the Imperial Palace, we came out of the same village. At that time, there were too many people in our family and we had no food to eat, so we went to the porcelain kiln helper. It's been so many years in the blink of an eye."

"We Prince Yu's Mansion borrowed you here, there is no problem?"

"No, no. Shaojian Tang also reminded us to do our best for Prince Yu's Mansion." Jin Xi said, "If you have any porcelain needs, your highness, just tell us, and we will do our best."

Liu Mingqi nodded.

Jin Xi was always talking, but Chen Laowu next to him didn't say a word. When he looked at Liu Mingqi, he showed a simple and humble smile.

This is a typical craftsman.

If both of them were good at bragging and flattering, Liu Mingqi would really worry whether their skills were good or not.

After thinking about it, Liu Mingqi handed them three structural diagrams, "If you want to make a set of such combined porcelain devices, how long will it take?"

"Um……"

Jin Xi and Chen Laowu watched together. The two of them whispered to each other before Jin Xi said: "Although it is composed of several large items, it is basically not difficult. It can be done in about one month."

"You must see clearly." Liu Mingqi pointed to several of them and said, "This place is empty, and it is necessary to ensure that the water can flow out."

"Don't worry, we have done this kind of similar thing. You put it in the pool to draw water? It's guaranteed that there is no problem!"

Jin Kui's answer made Liu Mingqi laugh and cry.

You can think of it if you use the toilet for water spray decoration.

However, Liu Mingqi felt much more at ease, as long as she had experience and ability.

"I can't give you one month." Liu Mingqi thought, "Ten days! Ten days, you will get five sets for me. Is there any problem?"

"ah?"

Jin Kui was stunned, "This..."

"If you have any difficulties, just say it." The young man said proudly: "I will ask them to cooperate with you in everything, and then you will decide who you need, what materials, and how to make it... I only have one requirement, and burn the things completely in 10 days!"

Jin Kui subconsciously turned his head and looked at Chen Laowu.

Chen Laowu stared at the drawing again, his fingers shaking constantly, and he was muttering words in his mouth.

After a long time, he nodded: "If they can cooperate with each other, it will be feasible."

"good!"

Liu Mingqi snatched Jin Kui in front of him and slapped the table and said, "I just like you guys who are so cheerful, come on, let's go!"

While speaking, two silver lights were seen heading towards the two of them.

Jin Kui and Chen Laowu subconsciously reached out and grabbed them, and two silver little cuties appeared in their hands.

"This is a reward for you first." Liu Mingqi said, "I will do it well after I go back. If I do it, I will have a reward for it!"

Nothing can compare to money in reality.

Even Chen Laowu, who was taciturn, had a smile on his face at this moment.

Jin Kui even promised repeatedly: "Your Highness, just wait, we promise to hand you good things on time!"

Taking the resources of the general to serve as a prisoner to make small items for these princes and nobles is indeed the best job.

Not to mention that the two of them met a truly generous master this time.

If you make the things well, wouldn’t each person get a reward of at least twenty or thirty taels?

They are tired and exhausted on weekdays, and their salary in a year is only twenty or thirty taels of silver.

It’s great that one job can last for a year now!

...

Note: The drowning weapon was called "Huzi" during the Warring States Period. It is said that when the Tang Dynasty, because the grandfather of Emperor Gaozu of Tang Li Yuan was named Li Hu, the taboo was changed to "Mazi"... 雷?
