Chapter 321 Contempt
The cost of the report was much lower than what An Guogong thought, and he wanted to take the opportunity to give Cheng Moyinzi, so he had no objection to the quotation and immediately decided to build a heating system in the whole government.
Cheng Mo was more concerned about the movements of the Huns, but for a month, the border did not send memorials of the Huns invading the border. He said to Zhang Qing half regret and half jokingly: "I originally wanted to take this opportunity to give you a marquis, but I didn't expect that the following was gone."
It is no joke that the army is dispatched. If you invade the border in a small way, you only need to ask the generals guarding the border to strengthen their defense, and the court will not send troops.
Zhang Qing said: "My father is really, and he has often encouraged me to chat with Princess Yong'an recently."
Princess Yong'an is the half-sister of Emperor Zhao's father. She married Marquis Jinghai a few years ago. Marquis Jinghai died two years ago. Emperor Zhao was still in power at that time and took her back to the palace to live temporarily. Liu Xun succeeded to the throne, so he naturally would not let her leave the palace and return home.
Yu Linlang was on the rotation in the palace. If he had the intention, it would not be difficult to meet these noble people. However, Princess Yong'an was nearly ten years older than Zhang Qing and was widowed. Cheng Mo did not expect that Duke An was so anxious that he actually glanced at her. He couldn't help but feel speechless, and regretted saying to Duke An, "If you are granted the title of Liehou, you are not as good as Princess Shang." He was just an example, but did not expect Duke An to be so obsessed with power.
"Which girl do you like, I will help you find a way to get married. You don't have to take it seriously," Cheng Mo patted his chest and promised. If Duke An continues to do this, he will have to make Zhang Qing die.
The heating of the Duke of Anguo Mansion was completed. Duke Anguo invited Cheng Mo to a banquet and said regretfully during the meal: "Why isn't it cold?"
It's cold, so you can show your face.
Cheng Mo smiled.
Wu Kong also asked Cheng Mo to build a set in his yard. His father, Marquis Ji'an, was very worried and came to see him every day. After the construction was completed, he hired a sorcerer and decided that the Feng Shui had not been destroyed before he gave up.
In the blink of an eye, autumn was coming, and Huo Shuhan's stomach was not moving yet. Huo Xian became anxious and went to Yongchang Hou Mansion to visit him. The servants and guards lined up from the door of the mansion to the Imperial Street.
Cheng Mo left the palace and wanted to go home, but when he learned that his mother-in-law had arrived, he thought about it and went to Duke An's mansion on the excuse that he had something to do.
It was windy last night, and it was a bit cold this morning. Duke An Guo took the opportunity to invite the nobles who had been in contact with each other and also gave Cheng Mo an invitation. Cheng Mo didn't want to go, so he refused on the grounds of something. At this moment, the door informed: "The Marquis of Yongchang is here." Duke An Guo was still a little disbelief and said, "Is the Marquis of Yongchang really here?"
Several Marquis who were looking at the heating pipe curiously, looked over when they heard Cheng Mo's name, and said, "Did this pipe be made by Marquis Yongchang?"
Well, why don’t you do serious business? What kind of pipes do you do?
Another person said: "It should be right? Young people are very smart and dare to think and do it. If this tube is useful, I will also make one."
It takes a long time to burn charcoal basins to make the house warmer. Each yard also needs to have a girl who specializes in charcoal heating. Just now, Duke An Guo demonstrated to them that as long as a group of two servants take turns to boil water, the house will be as warm as spring in just a quarter of an hour. According to Duke An Guo, other yards will be warm soon.
Moreover, this fee is within an acceptable range.
Why not do such a good thing?
The person who spoke before was Huainan Marquis, who was meticulous. It is said that when he went out in the morning, he would not change the leg that he first stepped on for decades. His mansion had already appeared in a dilapidated image, but it was said that it was the foundation handed down by his ancestors and could not be moved, so he refused to repair it. Those who knew it were Huainan Marquis' Mansion, and those who didn't know thought it was a dangerous house, which had become a laughing stock in the capital.
Duke An Guo was so active, for some reason, but he was getting close to him.
However, the Marquis of Huai'an was a person who was at ease. When others planted two flowers, he would also think about planting two in his garden. Therefore, when he saw this set of equipment, he immediately fell in love with it and thought that he would also make one.
However, these two people have never been able to talk about each other.
When the Huainan Hou heard that the Huainan Hou wanted to make a set, his face looked bad, so he opened his mouth and scolded him: "You are so old, why don't you have a good shape? You can build it just by raising money like this?"
If Anguo Public Construction had told him before, he would definitely not agree.
How could the Marquis of Huai'an stand his tone of being trained as if he was scolding a child? Besides, the two of them had never been able to get together, so they immediately retorted: "Where is there any groundbreaking? But installing a pipe on the wall, you don't even have to move the wall. Who is like you, for a hundred years, and you don't even dare to lift the grass in the mansion."
The few Le Houshou next to him could not even hold back the smile on his face.
Why didn't the princes in Huainan know that the nobles in the capital were laughing at his mansion? Although he was pressing on his wife's eldest son and refused to repair it, who would want to live in a dilapidated place? What's more, it was ridiculed? Over time, whether the mansion was repaired or not became his heartbreaking.
When Duke An of the Guoguo came back, he saw the two old men blushing with a quarrel, and the few people next to him persuaded him without any pain.
"What's wrong with you?" An Guogong said: "I'll recommend it to you. This is the Marquis of Yongchang, and this is the Marquis of Junnan..." He introduced one by one.
In fact, there are only a few nobles in the capital, and I have never seen them or heard of them. There are only a few people here, Cheng Mo has never seen them.
Cheng Mo was so angry that his face turned red. A thin finger quickly reached the Huaian Hou's face. He couldn't help but smile and said, "What's wrong with Huaian Hou?"
Everyone is a marquis of the same rank. Although he is young, he is close to the emperor and is Huo Guang's son-in-law, and his status is firmly above several people.
The Marquis of Huainan thought that it was because of this boy that he was ridiculed by the Marquis of Huai'an for no reason. He couldn't help but be angry. His thin and slender fingers pointed to Cheng Mo's face and said, "You are a stinky boy, and you have not made any achievements. Why should you be named the Marquis?"
Before he finished speaking, a person next to him quickly covered his mouth and smiled at Cheng Mo, "He is drunk, don't be as knowledgeable as him." He whispered to the Marquis of Huainan, "What are you talking nonsense? How could he not make any contribution? If you have kindness to Your Majesty, you will be a great contribution."
Emperor Long Qian lived in his house when he was in trouble. You talk nonsense like this, but you will cause a big disaster.
Cheng Mo smiled and said, "I am a little younger, but I am not as ambitious as I am older. I may not be worse than older. Huainan Hou is older and I will not have any achievements."
Your title was passed down from ancestors, and I gained my title by myself. It is clear at a glance who is higher and who is inferior.
The Marquis of Huainan was extremely angry, and broke away from the Marquis who held him and said sternly: "What are you saying?"
Cheng Mo was a Marquis after all, but he became angry by his words "boy" and said, "What's wrong with me being a boy? It's better than some people who are disrespectful to the old."
The Husband of Huainan was so angry that his forehead was full of veins.
Duke An rushed forward and advised, "It's all my fault. I haven't received many of them. The food and food are ready. Come to the table quickly. I will punish myself for three cups."
