Daily Life In Qin Dynasty - Chapter 228
Chapter 228 Why are you here?
“click~”
In the gazebo in the back garden of [Mo Mansion], two figures in white robes were lazily lying on rocking chairs to enjoy the cool air. One of them held a golden pear in his hand, opened his mouth and bit it down, splashing the juice.
“It’s really strange, the melons and fruits that the widow has in the palace are all seeds from you, Mo Qing, and a special person is responsible for planting and nurturing, but why do you always feel that the melons and fruits in the palace are not as delicious as you, Mo Qing? ”
“The taste of food is often affected by the mood, probably because the king is in a good mood today!”
“Hmm! Makes sense… click!”
This white-robed figure is naturally Ying Zheng who has just arrived, and his alias is still “Mr. Zhao”.
Compared to when he left [Mo Mansion] in a few months, Ying Zheng’s figure has lost a lot of weight, and he has basically returned to his original appearance.
From this point, it can be seen that Ying Zheng, the king, is indeed very diligent.
By contrast.
Mr. Mo, the “Sheng Ping Jun”, is obviously a bit too salty.
If you compare the two people’s current daily life, it is probably:
Early morning: Ying Zheng gets up to work, while Mo Jun is sleeping late.
Morning: Ying Zheng continues to work, while Mo Jun is sleeping late.
Noon: Ying Zheng took the time to have lunch. Mo Jun got up, and then had a leisurely and comfortable lunch that was far more delicious than the palace.
Afternoon: Yingzheng is still working hard, taking time to solve the daily chores inside the palace while dealing with state affairs. Mo Jun felt a little sleepy after eating and drinking, and Xiao Tian stayed for an hour.
Evening: As a king, Yingzheng enjoys dinner alone, but he is still busy with political affairs in his heart. Mo Jun was a little tired from sleeping, so he woke up and asked everyone in Shangmo Mansion to have dinner with He Meimei.
Into the night: Yingzheng lights up the night battle. Although he already has paper, but because of the more convenient white paper, the number of government affairs that Yingzheng needs to deal with has not decreased but increased, because he is reluctant to delegate power.
At this time, Mo Jun’s nightlife has just begun. If it is cold, everyone in the Mo Mansion will usually sit indoors at this time, warm up a few pots of wine, hold a banquet, and play a few rounds of Pai Gow.
If it’s hot, drink outside and watch the moon, or hold a bonfire party and have a night of BBQ.
Late night: After a tiring day, King Yingzheng of Qin dragged his tired body back to his bedroom. Then, under the restrictions of the king’s etiquette, he reluctantly “turned over a card” and began to work hard to add blood to Qin.
Mr. Mo was full of food and drink, so he started to fall in love with Yue Nu (although Yue Nu is not always in Mofu now, it seems that this is not a bad thing).
Such a comparison.
Jun Mo himself couldn’t help being startled, feeling a little guilty for no reason.
Because compared with his current life, Ying Zheng’s current life, saying that he is “worse than a dog” feels a bit flattering him.
“Mo Qing’s [Mo Mansion] is really well built. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. Every time I come here, my whole body and mind seem to relax. Especially this fan…”
Ying Zheng obviously doesn’t have the ability to “penetrate the heart”, so he doesn’t know that he has already started a “showdown” with the dog in Mo Jun’s heart.
At this moment, Ying Zheng’s gaze has been attracted by another ‘good thing’ in [Mo Mansion].
It was an auto-rotating ‘fan’ placed on a corner of the pavilion’s cross-column.
This ‘fan’ was made by Mo Jun before Gongshuchou was commissioned to help him. It has to be said that the black technology of this era is indeed a bit powerful. Mojun originally only proposed a simple idea, but the result did not exceed half a month. Gongshuchou He helped Mo Jun build this fan.
Even apart from being able to rotate automatically, the wind blown by this fan is cold air. Rather than calling it a ‘fan’, it is more appropriate to call it a simplified version of an ‘air conditioner’.
Moreover, the power source of this ‘fan’ is neither electricity nor coal. Even Mo Jun couldn’t understand how this thing turned.
“If the king is interested, I have left some stock here, and it can be sent to Xianyang in a few days for the king to study.”
Mr. Mo naturally understood the hidden meaning in Ying Zheng’s words. To be honest, although it wasn’t much, Mr. Mo still felt a little bit dissatisfied in his heart about Ying Zheng’s unrestrained behavior.
But now when Mr. Mo gave Yingzheng something, not only did he not have a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart, but even a little more pity and sympathy.
But Ying Zheng was obviously still not clear about these things. After listening to Mo Jun’s voice, he gave Mo Jun a look of “shang dao” with satisfaction.
Actually, Ying Zheng, as the King of Qin, if he really wanted a few ‘fans’, he couldn’t get them.
But now Yingzheng likes to take things from Mo Jun. The main reason is that in the entire Qin Kingdom, Ying Zheng can only take things from Mo Jun with peace of mind, and will not have any thoughts of “owing”.
Because he owes too much to Mr. Mo now, the so-called no worry if there are too many debts, and no itching if there are too many lice. Regarding this aspect, Ying Zheng now feels a bit completely messed up.
Great kindness becomes hatred.
If you change to another king, and you owe too much to your subjects, there is a high probability that you will have the idea of ”killing the donkey”.
And the reason why Ying Zheng and Mo Jun can still live in harmony now.
One reason is that Ying Zheng is still young and doesn’t have as many suspicious thoughts as he did when he was old. This point is actually similar to the founding kings of all dynasties.
Second, it is a matter of habit. The relationship between Mo Jun and Ying Zheng is very special, because Ying Zheng has often ‘debted’ to Mo Jun since the two first met. So now they owe each other, and both of them are slowly getting used to it.
Thirdly, Mo Jun himself really didn’t have that idea. Although Mo Jun has a lot of power in Qin, he has never touched military power. Even if it is for his own safety and the idea of leaving a way out, Mo Jun only intends to train a group of martial arts masters, and has no idea of making armor privately and cultivating an army.
And this last point is also the main reason why Ying Zheng has always been at ease with Mo Jun.
Qin established the country with military exploits.
Not only Mo Jun, but all the officials in the entire Qin State are similar. As long as the officials don’t touch the military power, Yingzheng’s tolerance for the officials is quite high.
As for Mo Jun’s high reputation in the army, and he is close to many generals in the army, that’s something that can’t be helped.
After all, although Mr. Mo is a ‘civilian official’, his first fortune was in the army. Even the route that Ying Zheng himself had drawn up for Mo Jun at the beginning was the route of ‘logistics general’.
What’s more, although Mr. Mo has a good relationship with generals, he has a bad relationship with civil servants!
And while Mo Jun was chatting with Ying Zheng, I saw a small figure in a white robe, just like Mo Jun and Ying Zheng, walked in quickly and politely from the back garden, and went straight to the door. Arbor comes.
Several guards who were standing outside the gazebo saw this figure approaching, but they didn’t stop him, but let him walk into the gazebo.
“Fusu pays homage to father, teacher.”
The little figure walking from the back garden was the eldest son Fusu who was studying in [Mo Mansion] and rushed over when he heard Ying Zheng’s arrival.
Seeing Fusu coming, Yingzheng straightened up slightly, a trace of bewilderment subconsciously flashed in his eyes, and he asked in surprise, “Fusu, why are you here?”
Fusu: “???”
