Love in the Red Chamber

Chapter 196
In the blink of an eye, Qin Zhong's expression changed slightly, and he looked natural and kind.

If one had to use one word to describe Qin Zhong's mood at this moment, it would be 'complicated'.It was indeed an extreme accident to meet such a handsome man in the garden of the Prince's Mansion in Beijing County.

Although it was just an inconspicuous matter, he couldn't help but speculate about Wang Beijing's orientation in his heart.

Perhaps it was influenced by some marketing accounts in the previous life. Once there is doubt, speculation can't stop breeding.

If he was a rough man, he wouldn't suddenly think about these things at this moment.However, Qin Zhong is very self-aware, he knows that he looks like a first-class handsome, coupled with the influence of Qin Keqing's "love" traits, it is easy to make people with ulterior motives even more ulterior motives.

Too much charm is not a good thing, it is easy to cause many unnecessary troubles.

The clothes on that person's body already showed that his identity was different, and he was obviously an invited guest in the palace garden.When Qin Zhong approached this girly man, he humbly turned his side.

The other party also nodded slightly, and a faint fragrance diffused from the sleeves and skirts, and went straight into Qin Zhong's nose.

It is normal to wear fragrance on the body, but this fragrance is not like the fragrance used by men.

Qin Zhong suddenly got goosebumps.

Is this another 'treasure jade'?
go, go!
Qin Zhong followed the people of the palace into a pavilion in the garden.King Beijing Jing was talking with someone, and when he saw him, he was overjoyed, but he didn't seem to want to help introduce him.

Qin Zhong didn't know anyone in the pavilion.

He just followed the people around him to lead him to the last place and sat down, with a maid serving tea beside him.

Only one person said: ""Nongshu Tongkao" does not re-examine, but should emphasize education. At the beginning of writing the book, the purpose of education should be established, and the policy of local officials emphasizing agriculture and supporting agriculture should be emphasized."

Qin Zhong was stunned.

He couldn't help frowning when he saw many well-dressed figures in the pavilion nodding in agreement.Things were different from what he thought, very different.He originally thought that since "Nongshu Tongkao" is a general exam book, it should be an agricultural technology instruction manual, or an agricultural encyclopedia.

But what the person said just now is more like defining the "Nongshu Tongkao" as an agricultural administration manual for local officials, rather than a farming manual for ordinary people.

King Bei Jing nodded his head and thought for a moment. When he raised his head, he glanced at the crowd and asked with a smile, "Do you think differently, gentlemen?"

Qin Zhong wanted to refute, but after hesitating, he decided not to show off for the time being, and to see the specific opinions of everyone.I thought to myself: here may be how many important ministers in the court, and I am a fluffy loose official, if I say an opinion that is different from everyone else, I will become a target of public criticism.

I saw a little silence in the room.

A person who was not far from the king of Beijing stood up and cupped his hands, saying: "Although agricultural administration is important, the lower officials think that craftsmanship should be the foundation."

so far so good!
Qin Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, vaguely felt that the person standing up looked familiar, but couldn't remember when he had seen him.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the pavilion, groups of three and four were discussing secretly, and the king of Beijing Jing also seemed to be thinking.

But at this time, another person walked in outside, it was the man who was alone in the garden just now.This person seemed to be very interested in hearing the voices in the room, and sat down next to Qin Zhong who was at the bottom.

At that time, another person stood up and said:
"The book of craftsmanship has never been missing in the world. But how many people in the world can read a few words? After all, it is the local government that takes the lead in telling them how to plant. The so-called enlightenment should teach the government. If it is based on craftsmanship It will just leave the book on the shelf."

Obviously, there were two camps in the pavilion. One believed that agricultural books should focus on agricultural politics, and the other believed that agricultural books should focus on agricultural techniques.

"What do you think is good?"

The person next to him spoke suddenly, almost startling Qin Zhong.

Why is this voice so thin?It's like the tone of a daughter's family.

He glanced sideways.

The other party was not afraid of being looked at, but cupped his hands and introduced himself: "My surname is Wen, and my name is Dongjun. I don't know what to call Xiongtai?"

Qin Zhong grinned, and gently returned his last name.

He thought to himself: This man is neither male nor female. Since his name is Dongjun, his name is nothing more than Ming, Ri, Yao, Chun, Yun and so on.Wenming?News day?Wen Yao?Wen Chun?Wen Yun?They are all men's names, so people can't help but wonder his gender.

He didn't understand, and he didn't want to think deeply about this issue.

After Wen Dongjun heard his surname, he couldn't help his eyes shine brightly, and looked Qin Zhong up and down carefully.Xi smiled and said: "It turns out that the son of the Qin family who has heard the name for a long time is right in front of him. I am disrespectful and disrespectful. I am slightly older than Jingqing by two years. If you call him a brother, Jingqing should not mind."

"No...don't mind."

[Wen Dongjun's favorability degree +13, Yangshou increased by 13 days (current favorability degree: 32)]

Ok?
what's the situation? !

Added thirteen points of favorability, how come it's more than 30? !

Qin Zhong didn't understand, and was even a little terrified.

Will not really meet another 'Baoyu'!

Wen Dongjun, who is male and female, is very interested in him at the moment, and asked the previous topic again, saying: "Qingqing privately thinks that agricultural books should emphasize agricultural politics or agricultural techniques?"

Qin Zhong took a deep look at Dongjun, and then raised his eyes to look at the people arguing in front of him.He is no longer the reckless person he was before, and he replied cautiously: "Everyone has their own advantages!"

Wen Dongjun smiled, with two dimples showing on his face, and said: "I guess you would say that, no one can offend you. Isn't Jingqing deeply involved in farming? Don't you want to write a new book on agriculture to use it as an example?" Art is the main thing?"

Of course, Qin Zhong hoped that the "Agricultural General Test" would focus on agricultural technology, but the situation is different.In the previous life, he was able to vigorously promote various technical books because of the environmental factors at that time.It is expected that at that time, technical books such as "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook", "Friends of Military and Civilian Talents", "Militia Military Training Manual", and "How to Plant Rice" were everywhere.

As the person in front said, combined with today's environment, such books that are all technical guidance may not really work.

Qin Zhong smiled wryly, not the same now and then.

"How to Grow Rice" and "The Barefoot Doctor's Handbook" were also popularized after vigorous efforts to eliminate illiteracy at that time.

Literacy in this era is still dominated by scholars, but most of these scholars are ashamed of farming.That's why many technologies are actually difficult to promote among the people, and they can only be used in government and business.Only those close to government and business will be radiated by new technologies, just like the weaving industry in the south of the Yangtze River.In addition to the south of the Yangtze River, the weaving industry is still backward in technology.

He was silent.

In other words, naive ideas were destroyed under the impact of reality.

The promotion of a technology cannot be accomplished with a single agricultural book.

The preceding debate continues.

Qin Zhong no longer had the enthusiasm he had before, only felt that they were noisy.

Is "Agricultural General Examination" important?This will allow Qin Zhong to answer, and the answer must be unimportant.It doesn't matter whether it is mainly agricultural administration or agricultural affairs.Anyway, it can be promoted.

After thinking through these things, Qin Zhong also became casual, and even wandered into the sky.When I heard the officials in front talk about who should be the editor-in-chief of the agricultural policy and agricultural affairs articles, I lost interest.

It's like preparing to do something with full anticipation and enthusiasm, but before going out, you find that even if you do it, it won't help.

Hit, hit hard.

"What's wrong, brother Jingqing?" Wen Dongjun saw Qin Zhong's strangeness.

Qin Zhong just shook his head and thought to himself: If the agricultural technology cannot be popularized, then we should first find a way to organize the development of the team, and when the results come out, it will naturally affect the innovation of folk technology.

His heart is still positive.

Just because he holds the trump card of grain production increase technology.Don't worry about how agricultural books are edited, don't worry about changes in agricultural policies, technology will not deceive people.

Same as math!
Near noon, those officials seemed to have a rough direction.Qin Zhong was not interested in inquiring about it anymore. He only felt hungry when he heard King Beijing call for a banquet.

Everyone went upstairs.

"Jingqing!" King Beijing called out, and everyone in the pavilion looked at him following the voice.

Qin Zhong got up gracefully, stepped forward and saluted.

King Beijing Jing was about to speak, but saw Wen Dongjun who was behind Qin Zhong also stepped forward two steps forward, and his expression changed for a moment.He smiled and said: "No need to be too polite, I just wanted to introduce Dong Jun to you, but I didn't expect..." Seeing the change in Dong Jun's face, the county king stopped talking, and changed his words: "Jing Qing, please sit down."

Wen Dongjun raised his brows lightly when he heard this, and looked at Qin Zhong's bewildered look back, with a brighter smile on his lips.

baffling!

Qin Zhong was baffled, and everyone in the pavilion was also baffled.

Most of these people had heard the rumors about Qin Zhong, and one of them had even met him.Seeing that this young brother was actually favored by the King of Beijing, he was not surprised, after all, the King of Beijing is a well-known corporal.

But that Wen Dongjun!
There was no acquaintance present, only vaguely felt that his identity was not simple.It's not a faint feeling, it's that he can be sure that his identity is extraordinary, but he can't think of which family's son or grandson.

So everyone didn't underestimate him, but they were curious why this person was here.

Qin Zhong was very polite, he bowed his hands and bowed to the people on both sides. Some people turned sideways to avoid it, while others accepted it directly.There were a few laughs, but they were all polite.

King Beijing took advantage of this to introduce their names and official positions to everyone. When it was Wen Dongjun's turn, he only said his surname and character.

After a long exchange of polite greetings, Wen Dongjun didn't seem to like this, and went directly to the last seat of the banquet regardless of King Beijing's presence, and called out: "Jing Qing, come quickly, I heard that the wine in their Beijun Prince's Mansion is the only one. It's delicious."

Who is he?

This question is not only entrenched in Qin Zhong's mind, but also in other people's minds.

Qin Zhong turned his head and glanced at King Beijing Jing.

King Beijing Jing didn't show any annoyance on his face, he smiled brightly and called everyone to sit at the same table.There were excuses and polite ones on the spot.King Bei Jing said bluntly: "If you are not in the court, you don't need to pay homage. Let's sit down together so that all the adults can taste the fine wine of the palace together."

Close to the people are two very strange words.

But Qin Zhong only had these two words in his mind at the moment.

He smiled helplessly, walked back to Wen Dongjun's side, and sat down.I became even more curious about Wen Dongjun's identity.

Wen Dongjun seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and when he saw Qin Zhong sitting down, he laughed and confessed: "Yesterday, I heard that King Beijing wanted to invite all ministers to discuss the "Tongkao of Agricultural Affairs", so I told the county king to invite Jingqing to come. , on the one hand, I want to hear Jingqing’s opinion, on the other hand, I am curious about what Jingqing looks like, and want to make friends with him.”

hiss……

What's the matter with being a little scary!

It feels like there are thorns on the stool!
Qin Zhong grinned dryly and said with a dry smile: "Brother Dong Jun is very loving." But he thought to himself: Good guy, if you can talk to the county king like that, you must be some prince or grandson, right?

But it shouldn't!

Qin Zhong took a closer look at Wen Dongjun's appearance again. Although he was male and female, his appearance was extremely handsome, but his skin was not very fair.More importantly, he noticed that Wen Dongjun didn't have long nails on his hands.

Long nails have always been a symbol of status and class.

Not only did Wen Dongjun not have long nails on his hands, he didn't even have accessories such as jade ring rings.Although the clothes on his body are extremely luxurious, there are very few accessories.Unlike King Beijing Jing who had a sachet, bracelet, jade pendant, forehead wipe, and small crown all on his body, Wen Dongjun only had an exquisite small crown on his head to show his luxury.

Ok?
something poking me?
Qin Zhong suddenly felt a hard thing poke the outside of his thigh, almost numb.

Glancing suspiciously, he saw a long mark protruding from Dongjun's robe, but he didn't know what it was.

Wen Dongjun noticed his gaze and smiled suddenly.

Qin Zhong felt cold all over his body.

Wen Dongjun reached into his robe and said, "I scared Jing Qing! That is the self-defense gun I carry with me."

huh~~
It turned out to be a musket!That's right, only muskets are that long!
Really scary!

"Would you like to take a look at Qingqing?"

"No...don't take it out!"

Who knows what will happen if you pull out a gun at the attic banquet in the garden of Beijing Prince's Mansion?
No matter what kind of gun you can't take out!
Qin Zhong quickly waved his hand and refused.What's so interesting about muskets? A grain grower like him doesn't like guns.There is a saying, if the neighbor stores grain and I store guns, the neighbor is my granary.

He was really not interested in looking at other people's muskets, after all, he also had one for shooting people.

but……

Entering the palace garden, this guy also brought a gun?
Qin Zhong thought of this crucial question, and looked at Wen Dongjun even more differently.

Wen Dongjun straightened the musket, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Jing Qing, the musket is not loaded with gunpowder at this time, so don't worry about it going off. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to put it on my body casually."

amount……

Just nod, Qin Zhong just nodded obediently.I hope this guy is not a lunatic, otherwise he can experience freedom every day in the world of Red Mansions.

Wen Dongjun was obviously very interested in firearms, taking advantage of the time to serve the dishes, he pulled Qin Zhong and whispered, "Is Jingqing interested in firearms?"

Qin Zhong shook his head, "Not very interested."

Although most men like to play with guns, Qin Zhong is no exception, but he is not very interested in guns.

What can he do with a gun?

Is it okay to shoot birds in Qinghe Town?
With this kind of free time, it's better to chat with a few girls and girls.No matter how bad it is, even go to the field to see the growth of the crops.

Obviously, Qin Zhong's answer did not satisfy Wen Dongjun.

Wen Dongjun frowned and said, "This gun was specially brought for you."

Ok?
