After the New Year, King Lu Liu Hao sent a gift on behalf of the college.

A desk clock the size of a fan.

It's a little strange to see Liu Zhao.

It's not easy to make the self-ringing bell so small.

Lu Wang Liu Hao said: Not only is it small, but the time is more accurate, and there is almost no error.

Gu Jiu picked up the clock, which was beautiful in shape, decorated with high-quality mahogany, carved with exotic flowers and plants, and inlaid with various jewels.

At first glance, it is rich and luxurious, and it is of great value.

She asked Liu Hao, How are you going to sell this?

The young mansion is planning to hold a watch appreciation meeting, and take the opportunity to launch the clock. In order to open up the market, we asked people to design more than a dozen appearances. It can be customized according to the needs of customers. The low price is three thousand taels, and the top is not capped.

Liu Zhao sighed, The Institute of Technology has received a large amount of money this time. Can it achieve a balance of payments?

Gu Jiu shook his head, I'm afraid not! Clocks and clocks are just small pieces. There are too many things that the Polytechnic Institute needs to develop, and it must not be satisfied with this achievement.

Mr. Ren said the same. Liu Hao agreed.

Then Liu Ha took out two wooden boxes, The son brought another gift to the father and mother.

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 half a palm.

You actually made a pocket watch?

This is a sample made by my son. The time of the pocket watch is not very accurate, and we need to continue to improve it. Because it is the first time to make a sample of a pocket watch, the son thinks it is very meaningful, so he brought it to his father and mother. I will make a pocket watch in the future. 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 placed in the academy for further research.

Gu Jiu laughed, There are only three pocket watches in the world that cannot keep track of time, and they are also the first three pocket watches in the world, two of which are in the hands of the Emperor Taishang and have been in the hands of the Queen Mother. Wait for us for a hundred years. after,

These two pocket watches with inaccurate time are unique in the world, cannot be copied, and are invaluable antiques.

It is this principle.

Liu Zhao called Brother Xuan, After a hundred years from your grandmother and I, these two pocket watches will be handed over to you for safekeeping. There is no such thing in the world as a pocket watch that can be worn by the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager.

Brother Xuan immediately reddened his eyes and nodded heavily.

The King of Lu, Liu Hao, whispered, Father's words are not auspicious.

Liu Zhao picked up his pocket watch and tapped it on the head of King Lu Liu Hao, Stop talking nonsense! Birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of nature. You just think too much about what is good or bad.

The King of Lu, Liu Ya, was wronged and asked his mother for help.

Gu Jiu's brows and eyes twitched with a smile on his face, Today, the third one is here, just to try the new dishes developed by the royal chef.

Hearing that there was something to eat, Liu Yan smiled.

Sure enough, I am a foodie, and I have been a foodie since I was a child.

Without saying a word, Brother Xuan went to the pond to touch two fish.

The King of Lu, Liu Hao, said with emotion: Brother Xuan's water quality is afraid that he can catch up with the fishermen who grew up by the water.

Gu Jiu said with a smile: He just learned to swim from the fishermen by the water. He goes up the mountain to catch birds and fishes in the river all day. He has a very wild temperament.

King Lu Liu Ya whispered: Brother Xuan is afraid that he can't control a temper like this.

Gu Jiu said: You are unfounded. Although Brother Xuan has a wild temperament, he is very measured and understands the rules. He is the kind of person who will pose for any occasion. He is born with many faces.

It's incredible! King Lu Liu Hao said with emotion, Brother Xuan's younger brothers and sisters, compared with him, look like fools.

It's all your nephews and nieces, how can you talk like that. Gu Jiu reprimanded softly.

Liu Yan smiled awkwardly, The queen mother's time in the palace is short, I don't know that the elder brother's children are disciplined by the old master, and they are not as smart as the elder brother. But they are very careful. I feel the way the emperor's sister-in-law disciplines the children. There are some problems. Following the tradition of the Sun family, I press my children to read every day, and I don't have any time to play.

I remember when I was a child, although my father and mother gave us a lot of homework, they would not restrict us from playing. The Queen's Sister-in-law always likes to say that playing with things is frustrating, so it depends on how to play. The emperor's elder brother has a lot of time to discipline his children, but fortunately, brother Xuan grew up by his father's mother's side and was not disciplined into wood.

The queen has good knowledge, can it be as serious as you say? Gu Jiu didn't believe it.

The King of Lu, Liu Hao, said, What my son said is his personal opinion, maybe a little one-sided.

Gu Jiu was concerned about this matter.

She ordered someone to bring a decree back to the palace, and sent the granddaughter of the emperor's grandson, as well as Liu Ha's two and a half children, to the tea house to live for one summer.

Emperor Qianming was overjoyed when he received the decree.

He was eager to send the child to his mother for discipline.

The mother's mother has a very good way of teaching children, and their brothers and sisters are examples.

The queen was a little reluctant, but did not stop it.

All the way to the south by boat, after a month and a half, a group of children of different sizes walked into the tea house.

Gu Jiu was not in a hurry to set homework, nor was he in a hurry to examine the temperament of the children.

Let the children adapt to the environment first, and let Brother Xuan take his younger brother and sister to go out to play in the mountains and waters, and walk around the streets.

A group of half-old children who study in the palace and the palace every day, far away from their parents, just arrived, and at first they were afraid of the majesty of their grandfather and grandmother, and could not let go.

A few days later, these children, like wild horses, took the initiative to go wild with Brother Xuan.

After being wild for half a month, Gu Jiu called all the children in front of them to check the progress of their studies and assigned their homework.

As long as you finish your homework on time every day, you can play in the tea house.

Gu Jiu was accustomed to being a hands-off shopkeeper, and then handed over the important task of teaching the children to Brother Xuan.

With Brother Xuan's knowledge reserve, it is more than enough to be a teacher for these children.

Brother Xuan happily took the order.

He doesn't take the usual path as a teacher.

In addition to teaching the knowledge from books, he also took his younger brothers and sisters to the fields to plant seedlings, to hoe weeds, to go up the mountains to collect firewood and catch game, and to fish in the river to wash and brush.

Go up to the tea mountain to pick tea leaves, and go down to the market to sell local products.

He took his younger brother and sister to Jiangnan Academy to hang out, occupying land and debating with local students.

Soon, debate became their fixture.

A group of children, led by Brother Xuan, also became two more wild.

All good kids.

Both the Queen and Princess Lu taught very well.

It's just that the discipline is too strict, and the children lose their liveliness.

Summer is over, and it is time for the children to leave for the capital.

A group of children were all red-eyed and reluctant.

This summer is the most meaningful summer in their memory, and they will never forget it for the rest of their lives.

We want to stay with our grandparents and do our filial piety.

You guys want to stay and play with your grandparents.

Gu Jiu laughed and scratched the noses of the children, Be obedient, follow Eunuch Qian back to the capital. Come and play again next summer.

Can you really come next year?

How can what Ben Gong said be false?

After coaxing the children, they were finally sent to the upstairs boat and set off for Beijing.

Qian Fu is responsible for sending these precious children back to Beijing to ensure the safety of the children.

He also brought a copy of the decree of the empress dowager.

The content of the decree is very simple, don't tie the children to the palace or the palace all day long. All went to Shanhe Academy to study, and the girl went to Beijing Women's Academy to study and get along with her peers more.

Private school in the enlightenment stage, the effect is very good.

But when the children have passed the stage of enlightenment, they should go to the academy to receive education, instead of staying in the palace to be taught by the old masters.

In terms of educating children, Emperor Qianming Liu Yu absolutely believed in the Empress Dowager.

After receiving Yizhi, he sent the children to Shanhe College and Jingcheng Women's College respectively.

Liu Ha's two children were also sent to the academy to study.

...

The tea house is here.

The children were sent away, and the tea house, which had been noisy for a summer, finally quieted down.

Liu Zhao took a sip of tea and felt refreshed.

My old arms and legs are relieved. A few children are like a thousand ducks quacking together, and my ears are almost deaf. Fortunately, you only kept them for one summer.

Liu Zhao was deeply afraid.

If the children had been living in the tea estate, he would have been maddened by the noise.

Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, Children are not noisy when they get together. The children play wildly all summer and make noise. It means that the children are full of energy and strong. This is a good thing.

One and two have been raised wild. The wildest child is Brother Xuan.

Brother Xuan came back with a stack of newspapers, Grandfather, grandson will read newspapers to you.

Come here and drink tea to cool off the heat. Qiuhu is very powerful. It's still so hot in this season.

One second ago, he was complaining about Brother Xuan's wild temperament, and in a second, he felt sorry for Brother Xuan who had been basking outside for a long time, and vividly interpreted the duplicity.

Gu Jiu smiled without saying a word.

Autumn and winter are coming, and a new year will come.

Wrapped in a thick blanket, Liu Zhao sat drowsily in his study.

The earth dragon was very warm, but he still felt cold.

Gu Jiu woke him up, It's time to drink the medicine!

After Liu Zhao woke up, he was stunned for a while before he regained his senses.

He laughed at himself, As soon as winter comes, I can't do without medicine. I don't think I can last long.

Gu Jiu kneaded his legs and feet for him, rarely refuting him.

After Liu Zhao drank the medicine, he realized the taste.

He asked Gu Jiu, How much life do I have left?

Gu Jiu was silent.

Liu Zhao sighed, Tell me! How much time do I have left? You have to give me some time to arrange your own affairs.

Gu Jiu sighed and held his hand, Half a year to a year.

There is one more year, enough! Liu Zhao laughed, After one year, I will be able to honor my promise to you.

After a pause, he said again: You have worked so hard all these years to take care of this sick old man. After another year of hard work, you will be free.

Don't talk nonsense. Gu Jiu scolded him softly.

But 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 like I'm a burden, always dragging you down. .

You said that what you said wasn't nonsense, did you listen to what you said were human words? Gu Jiu was very angry.

Liu Zhao took Gu Jiu and sat beside him, I'm very fortunate that I made the decision to abdicate back then, so that I can travel with you, enjoy the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, swim across the great rivers, and watch the snow in Saibei. Even if I die now, I am still there. I have no regrets. I am worthy of my ancestors, I am worthy of the Great Zhou Jiangshan, I am worthy of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I have fulfilled my promise to you. My life is complete.

Gu Jiu leaned on his shoulder, It's quite complete.

Liu Zhao patted her hand, When the spring starts, let's go back to the capital. This tea house will be left to Brother Xuan. If he gets upset in the future, he can stay here for a while to relax. You and the imperial physician. Together, make sure to save my life until I return to the capital, I can't die here, breaking the feng shui here and adding to the 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 mausoleum, and I have to die in the capital, in the palace. It is not suitable to die anywhere outside the palace. You are Chang'an Palace will find a place for me, and I will live in it.

Gu Jiu wet her eyes, You're just mad at me.

How dare I be angry with you, I'm explaining the future. You don't want me to die in the tea house, and then transport it back to the capital for thousands of miles.

Gu Jiu gritted his teeth and was really pissed off.

Liu Zhao didn't look at her face at all, and asked her, Have you remembered what I just said? After this winter, we will leave for the capital in the spring.

Gu Jiu nodded heavily, Don't say anything like that in the future.

I promise you.
