Chapter 167 168 Madam Protector

   Zhou Jia took three exams in a row until February 15th. Zhou Jia, who was exhausted that day, was taken home by Li Yu and a few others as soon as he left the exam room.

  After recuperating at home for two days, the two were about to go out to play. Just after they went out, they met the tall boy named Shen Zhong at the door.

   Shen Zhong saw Li Yu bowing and saluting: "Mrs. Li, thank you for your help."

  Li Yu turned sideways and smiled politely: "Brother Shen doesn't need to be polite, please come in and sit down."

Shen Zhong saw that the carriage was already set up at the door, and Li Yu and his wife also looked like they were going to go out. Stay for a while."

   Zhou Jia cupped his hands and said, "Okay, Brother Shen please lead the way."

  Shen Zhong pointed to the carriage that was coming, and said with a smile, "You two please." The two followed Shen Zhong into the carriage with a polite smile, and went to Guiyunju in Dongcheng.

   When he arrived at the gate of Guiyunju, Li Yu knew that Guiyunju was not a restaurant he saw on weekdays, but a garden with excellent scenery.

When I entered Guiyun Residence, I walked through the green bamboo forests, and entered a small courtyard with 'Anning Garden' written on the lintel. In the middle of the small courtyard, a bluestone road pointed directly to the hall. The door of the hall was open, and the corners of the courtyard were close together. Green bamboo, and rattan tables and chairs are placed in front of the eaves porch.

   Several people walked to the front of the main hall, Shen Zhong said sideways: "Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Li, you two please, the young master will be there immediately."

   Zhou Jia smiled at Shen Zhong and said, "Thank you, Brother Shen." The couple entered the hall and sat down on the chair next to them.

   After a while, the person with the appearance of a servant brought refreshments, bowed and saluted before retreating.

  Li Yu turned his head and saw that the young master, dressed in a dark brocade robe with dark patterns, walked in from the gate of the courtyard, and saw that he was arrogant and arrogant, and he carried the momentum of ruling the world in his actions.

  Li Yu thought to himself: Sure enough, after three days of separation, I was impressed, this eldest young master already has the aura of a king.

   Zhou Jia pulled Li Yu to stand up, knelt down and kowtowed: "Meet Your Majesty."

   "Mr. Zhou, excuse me," Chu Yuhao took a step forward, lifted up the two of them, and smiled at Li Yu: "Mrs. Li, I would like to borrow your auspicious words, there will be no thrills to meet again."

  Li Yu smiled and said, "You still remember it!"

  Chu Yuhao nodded and smiled, looked at the two and said, "Sit down, don't be restrained, I didn't invite you to meet in the palace, I just didn't want you to restrain yourself."

   Zhou Jia bowed and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for being sympathetic."

The husband and wife sat down, and Chu Yuhao said to Zhou Jia in an approachable manner, "I have already received the submission you handed in, and I also received the drawings of the threshing machine from Sihai a few days ago, as well as Mrs. Li's choice. There are so many methods of planting, soaking and composting the land. I never thought that there are so many ways to cultivate the land. I heard that your husband and wife offered to sell the rice seeds for 10% less, hoping to sell more grain seeds at a lower price Sell ​​some to those poor people. Dayong's people must be like your husband and wife, Dayong Hechou will not be able to usher in a prosperous day."

   Zhou Jia stood up and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, these are the duties of the people of Dayong. You are wise, diligent and love the people. Dayong's prosperity is just around the corner."

Seeing Zhou Jia's restrained appearance, Chu Yuhao waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zhou, you don't need to be so restrained, the movable type printing master you handed over has already been made, and the threshing machine made by Mrs. Li has also been made. Now, during the spring sowing, I will ask Chu Fu, the chief steward of Huangzhuang, to ask Mrs. Li to go to Huangzhuang to teach them how to breed and select seeds, and strive to plant high-yield grains all over the country as soon as possible."

  Li Yu and Zhou Jia quickly stood up and bowed in response: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Chu Yuhao looked at Zhou Jia and Li Yu: "Mrs. Li, you have cultivated such high-yielding grain seeds for Dayong, and you have also developed such a time-saving and labor-saving threshing machine. The poor people thank you."

   Zhou Jia saw Li Yu standing still, and quickly pulled Li Yu to his knees and bowed to Li Yu: "I should do these things, Your Majesty, thank you for your reward."

  Chu Yuhao smiled and gestured outside. Shen Zhong walked in with the imperial edict and said to Li Yu: "Zhou Li, Yu takes the edict."

   "People's woman Li Yu took the order." Li Yu said kneeling.

  Shen Zhong read: "Fengtian transport, the emperor's decree said, seal Zhou Li, Yu, ... seal the first-class protector of the country, a mansion in Dongcheng, one hundred taels of gold, this is honored."

  Li Yu listened to Shen Zhong's remarks, being virtuous and virtuous, and thoughtful, and said in his heart: Come on for something affordable! What's the use of these!

   Before the resentment in Li Yu's heart had passed, he heard Shen Zhongnian say, Mrs. Yipin Huguo, a house, ... this can be, Li Yu smiled so much that his eyebrows were bent.

   "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." Li Yu took the imperial decree with both hands, kowtowed and thanked the emperor.

  Chu Yuhao looked at Li Yu's frowning smile and thought to himself: Mrs. Li is still honest, not like those mature old guys in the court.

  Chu Yuhao stood up, smiled happily and said, "Mrs. Li, don't be too polite, I'm going back to the palace too."

   Husband Zhou Jia hurriedly pulled Li Yu to his knees again and respectfully shouted: "Respectfully send your majesty." The husband and wife respectfully sent the emperor away.

  Shen Zhong protected Chu Yuhao and walked out: "Your Majesty, you really named Mrs. Li as Mrs. Huguo? This is the first wife you have awarded, and she is still a first-class Mrs. Huguo."

Chu Yuhao looked at Shen Zhong with a slight smile: "Ah Zhong, you also know that if Mrs. Li hadn't rescued him twice, you and I would have been buried in loess, and the high-yield rice seeds and movable type printing, these All are good things for the benefit of the country and the people, and I think that their husband and wife are loyal and righteous people, and they should be rewarded."

   Shen Zhong saluted with a look of admiration: "Your Majesty is wise."

  Chu Yuhao patted Shen Zhong on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, you and I grew up together, so don't talk about these scenes. I listen to those incompetent old guys every day, and I'm tired of hearing them."

   Chu Qing, the shopkeeper of the Cosmopolitan Bank in Kyoto, walked in and saluted respectfully: "I have seen Madam Huguo, Mr. Zhou and His Majesty are here to discuss with Mr. Zhou about the printing workshop."

   Zhou Jia cupped his hands and said, "Troubleshooting the shopkeeper Chu."

   After the three of them sat down separately, Chu Qing smiled and said, "We have both the mansion and the shop for the workshop. We just wanted to discuss the allocation of shares with the two of you. I wonder if Mr. Zhou has any requirements?"

   Zhou Jia glanced at Li Yu and said with a smile, "Manager Chu, we just provided a recipe. We didn't participate in the others. The emperor has already rewarded us, so we can no longer ask for the shares of the printing workshop."

   Shopkeeper Chu thought to himself after hearing this: People are eager to get money in their pockets, and the couple pushed the money out of their hands. No wonder the shopkeeper commented that the couple are open-minded and worthy of friendship.

   Shopkeeper Chu stood up, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty ordered you to discuss with Mr. and Mrs., you two don't want it, and it's not easy for you to explain!"

  Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu when he saw Shopkeeper Chu embarrassed, "Madam, we can't let Shopkeeper Chu be embarrassed. I think that's it! We'll just have half of the shares with our cheeks."

  Li Yu nodded and smiled: "Okay, in this case, our husband and wife will be shameless."

   Shopkeeper Chu sighed after hearing this: "It's the first time for me, Chu Qing, to see Madam and Mr.
