Vol 2 Chapter 1161: Finale (12)

After the New Year, Lu Wang Liu Li sent a gift on behalf of the college.
A table clock the size of a fan.
See you, Liu Zhao, a little strange
"It's not easy, it's possible to make the ringing bell so small."
Lu Wang Liuli said: "Not only is it small, but the time is more accurate, with almost no errors."
Gu Jiu picked up the table clock, which was exquisite in appearance, decorated with fine mahogany, carved with exotic flowers and plants, and inlaid with various jewels.
At a glance, it is rich and luxurious and valuable.
She asked Liu Li, "How are you going to sell this?"
"Shaofu plans to hold a watch appreciation event and take the opportunity to launch a table clock. In order to open up the market, we have invited people to design more than a dozen appearances. They can be customized according to customer needs. The low price is three thousand taels, and the upper limit is not capped."
Liu Zhao said with emotion, "The Institute of Technology has made a large sum of money this time, can it achieve a balance of payments?"
Gu Jiu shook his head, "I'm afraid it won't work! Clocks and watches are just small pieces. There are too many things that need to be developed in the Polytechnic Institute, and they must not be satisfied with this achievement.
"Mr. Ren said the same." Liu Li echoed.
Then Liu Li took out two more wooden boxes, "The son brought another gift to the father and the queen."
"What is it?"
Liu Zhao was curious and opened the wooden box directly.
Huh?
It turned out to be a pocket watch the size of a half palm.
"You actually made pocket watches?"
"This is a sample made by my son. The time of the pocket watch is not very accurate. I still need to continue to improve. Because it is the first time to make a pocket watch sample, my son felt it was meaningful, so he brought it to the father and the queen. The finished product, the son will send two more to the father and the queen."
Gu Jiu opened another wooden box, picked up the pocket watch, and said, "There are only two samples, right?"
"There are three in total, and the remaining one is kept in the college for further research."
Gu Jiu laughed, "There are only three pocket watches in the world that can't keep track of time, and they are also the first three pocket watches in the world. Two of them, one in the hands of the Supreme Emperor, and the Queen Mother. Waiting for us for a hundred years After that, these two pocket watches with inaccurate time are unique, non-copyable, and priceless antiques in the world."
This is the reason.
Liu Zhao called to Brother Huang, "After a hundred years from your grandmother and I, these two pocket watches will be handed over to you for safekeeping. There is no one in the world that can be worn by the Supreme Emperor and Empress Dowager."
Brother Xuan immediately reddened his eyes and nodded his head.
Lu Wang Liuli whispered, "Father's words are unlucky."
Liu Zhao picked up his pocket watch and tapped it on the head of King Lu Liu Li, "Stop talking nonsense! Birth, old age, sickness, and death are natural laws. You just think too much about whether it's good or bad."
Lu Wang Liu Li was wronged and asked for help from his mother.
Gu Jiu curled his eyebrows and smiled, "I'm coming here today, just to taste the new dishes developed by Imperial Kitchen."
When he heard something to eat, Liu Li smiled.
Sure enough, he is a foodie, he has been a foodie since childhood.
Without a word, Brother Xuan went to the pond and touched two fish.
Lu Wang Liu Li said with emotion: "Brother Xuan's water is afraid that he can catch up with the fishermen who grew up by the water."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "He just learned to swim with the fishermen by the water. He went up the mountain to catch birds and fished in the river all day long. He was very wild."
Lu Wang Liu Li whispered: "Brother Huang is afraid that he can't control his temperament."
Gu Jiu said: "You are unreasonably worried. Although he is wild-tempered, he is very measured and knows how to do things. He is the kind of person who poses in any situation. He is born with many faces."
"It's incredible!" Lu Wang Liu Li said with emotion, "The brothers and sisters of Brother Xuan are like fools compared to him."
"It's all your nephew and niece, how can you talk like that." Gu Jiu whispered.
Liu Li smiled awkwardly, "The queen has been in the palace for a short time, and I don’t know that the emperor brother’s children have been disciplined by the old master. It’s not as clever as Brother Xuan. But they are a lot of careful thinking. I feel the way the emperor’s wife disciplines the children. There is a problem. Following the traditions of the Sun family, he presses his children to study every day, and there is no time to play.
I remember when I was young, although the parents and the queen gave us a lot of homework, they did not restrict us from playing. The emperor's wife always likes to talk about playthings, it depends on how to play. The emperor has no time to discipline the children. Fortunately, brother Xuan grew up next to the father and the queen and was not disciplined. "
"The queen is very knowledgeable, can it be as serious as you said?" Gu Jiu didn't believe it.
Lu Wang Liuli said: "What my son said is personal opinion, maybe a bit one-sided."
Gu Jiu was concerned about this.
She ordered someone to bring a yizhi back to the palace, and sent the emperor's granddaughter and Liu Li's two and a half young children to the tea house for a summer.
Emperor Gan Ming was very happy when he received the decree.
He was eager to send the child to the mother for discipline.
The mother and the queen taught the children very well. Their siblings are examples.
The queen was a little bit reluctant, and did not stop.
All the way to the south by boat, one and a half months later, a group of children of different sizes walked into the tea house.
Gu Jiu was not in a hurry to arrange his homework, nor was he in a hurry to examine the children's temperament.
Let the children adapt to the environment first, and let Brother Xuan take his younger brothers and sisters to go out and play in the mountains and rivers and walk the streets.
A group of half-old children who study in the palace and palace every day are far away from their parents. They are newcomers. At first they were afraid of the majesty of their grandfathers and grandmothers.
A few days later, the group of children, like wild horses running out of hold, took the initiative to follow Brother Xuan in the wild.
After being wild for half a month, Gu Jiu called all the children to the front to check the progress of their studies and assign homework separately.
As long as you finish your schoolwork on time every day, you can play in the tea house.
Gu Jiu was accustomed to being a shopkeeper, and then handed over the important task of teaching the children to Brother Xuan.
With the knowledge reserves of Brother Xuan, he is more than enough to be a teacher for these children.
Brother Xuan took his orders happily.
As a teacher, he will not take the usual path.
In addition to teaching knowledge in books, he also took his younger brothers and sisters to plant seedlings in the fields, the weeds, go up the mountains to collect firewood to catch game, and go to the river to fish and wash.
Pick tea at Chashan and sell local products at the market.
I took my younger brothers and sisters to Jiangnan Academy to spend a lot of time, occupying a site, and arguing with local students.
Soon, the debate became their regular project.
A group of children, led by Brother Huang, are also two more wild.
They are all good kids.
The Queen and Princess Lu both taught very well.
It's just that the discipline is too strict, and the child loses his vitality.
Summer is over, the children should set off back to the capital.
A group of children are reluctant to bear with red eyes.
This summer is the most meaningful summer in their memory, and they will never forget it for a lifetime.
"We want to stay by our grandfather and grandmother's filial piety."
"You want to stay with your grandfather and grandmother to play."
Gu Jiu laughed and scratched the children's noses, "All obedient, follow Father Qian back to the capital. You will come to play again next summer."
"Can you really come next year?"
"How can the words of this palace be false?"
After coaxing the children, they were finally sent aboard the boat and set off back to Beijing.
Qian Fu is responsible for sending these golden children back to Beijing to ensure the safety of the children.
He also brought a copy of the empress dowager's decree.
The content of the Yizhi is very simple, don't tie the children to the palace or palace all day long. All went to the Shanhe College to study, and the girl went to the Beijing Women's College to get along with her peers.
Private school works well in the enlightenment stage.
But when the children have passed the stage of enlightenment, they should go to the academy for education instead of staying in the palace to teach them.
In terms of educating children, Emperor Qianming Liu Yu absolutely believed in the empress dowager.
After receiving the decree, he sent the children to Shanhe College and Jingcheng Women's College.
Liu Li's two children were also sent to the college to study.
...
Tea house here.
The children were sent away and the tea shop was noisy for a summer, and finally quieted down.
Liu Zhao took a sip of tea and his whole body was refreshed.
"My old arms and legs are relieved. Several children are quacking like a thousand ducks together, and my ears are almost deaf. Fortunately you only keep them for one summer."
Liu Zhao was deeply afraid.
If the children have been living in the tea house, he must be mad.
Gu Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, "It is a good thing for children to gather together. It is a good thing for children to play wildly for a summer and be noisy and noisy, which shows that the children are full of energy and healthy."
"One or two have been raised wildly. The wildest child belongs to Brother Huang."
Brother Xuan returned with a stack of newspapers, "Grandfather, grandson read the newspapers for you."
"Come over and have a sip of tea to cool off the heat. Autumn Tiger is so powerful, it's still so hot this season."
One second ago, he was still complaining about his temperament. For a second, he felt sorry for Liu Zhao, who had been outside for a long time, and he made the duplicity vivid.
Gu Jiu smiled without saying a word.
Autumn and winter come, and a new year will usher in.
Liu Zhao was wrapped in a thick blanket and sat drowsy in the study.
The earth dragon burned very warmly, and he still felt cold.
Gu Jiu woke him up, "It's time to drink medicine!"
After Liu Zhao woke up, he was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses.
He laughed at himself, "Once winter comes, I can't live without medicine. I'm so boned, I guess I won't last much time."
Gu Jiu kneaded his legs and feet for him, rarely refuting him.
Liu Zhao only realized the taste after drinking the medicine.
He asked Gu Jiu, "How much life do I have left?"
Gu Jiu was silent.
Liu Zhao sighed, "Let's talk about it! How much time do I have left. You must give me some time to arrange your own affairs."
Gu Jiu let out a long sigh and shook his hand, "Six months to a year."
"There is still a year, enough!" Liu Zhao laughed, "A year later, I can be regarded as fulfilling my promise to you."
After a pause, he said again: "You have worked so hard to take care of my sick old man these years. After another year of hard work, you will be relieved."
"Don't talk nonsense." Gu Jiu chided him softly.
Liu Zhao laughed, "I'm not talking nonsense, I really feel sorry for you. I know how hard you are, and I see it all. To be honest, sometimes I feel that I am a burden, and I always drag you down. ."
"I also said that what I said was not nonsense. Do you hear that these are human words?" Gu Jiu was very angry.
Liu Zhao pulled Gu Jiu and sat beside him,
I’m very fortunate that when I made the decision to abdicate, I was able to tour the mountains and rivers with you, watch the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, swim the rivers, and watch the snow in the north of Saibei. Even if I die now, I am No regrets. I am worthy of my ancestors, I am worthy of the great Zhou Jiangshan, worthy of the people of the great Zhou, and I have fulfilled my promise to you. In my life, I am fulfilled."
Gu Jiu leaned on his shoulder, "It is quite complete."
Liu Zhao patted her hand, "When the spring begins, we will go back to the capital. This tea shop will be reserved for Brother Xu. If he is upset in the future, he can stay here for a while to relax. You and the physician Together, be sure to keep my life until I return to the capital. I can't die here. It will break the Feng Shui here and cause trouble."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Gu Jiu scolded him.
Liu Zhao smiled and said indifferently: "What I said is true. I have to be buried in the imperial tomb. I must die in the capital, in the imperial palace. It is not appropriate to die anywhere outside the imperial palace. You are here. Find me a place in Chang'an Palace and I will live in."
Gu Jiu wetted his eyes, "You just got angry with me."
"How dare I be mad at you, I'm just confessing to the funeral. You don't want me to die in the tea house and then travel all the way back to the capital."
Gu Jiu gritted his teeth and was really furious.
Liu Zhao didn't know how to look at her face at all, and asked her, "Have you remembered what I just said? After this winter, after the beginning of the spring, we will leave for the capital."
Gu Jiu nodded, "Don't say anything like this again."
"I promise you."
