Chapter 88 Presenting a Prescription to the Emperor
Jia Hu hesitated for a while in the study, but decided to give the prescription now, just in case things went wrong.
When Jia Daishan heard the news of Jia Hu's arrival in his room, he smiled smugly.
"Brother, remember to bring me the dagger."
Jia Daihua felt a pang of pain.
"It's just a dagger, why would I not give it to you? This kid, why can't he hold his temper!"
After Jia Hu entered and bowed, he noticed the somewhat resentful look in his great-uncle's eyes and felt a little confused.
Jia Daishan smiled and said:
"Hu'er, did you come to see your grandfather about something?"
Jia Hu immediately got into the zone and asked in confusion:
"Grandfather, something strange happened to me today!"
Jia Daishan raised an eyebrow, suppressing a laugh, and asked:
"what's up?"
Jia Hu smiled憨憨地,
"Today, my grandson went for a stroll in the garden in search of inspiration. He heard someone outside the wall shouting that they were hungry. Thinking it must be a beggar, he had someone take some food and throw it out."
As he spoke, Jia Hu stopped to observe the expressions of Jia Daishan and Jia Daihua.
Jia Daishan smiled and said:
"Hu'er is very kind-hearted, shall we continue?"
Jia Daihua laughed and said, "It's just a little food. Did Hu'er come here to report this?"
Jia Hu took out the prescription from his pocket and handed it to Jia Daishan, saying with delight:
"My grandson originally thought that the person had finished eating and left, but who knew that the person would call me and tell me to remember two recipes and be sure to memorize them."
The grandson, out of curiosity, asked, "Who is that person?" The person replied, "We will meet again if fate allows, and there's no need to know your name."
The grandson wrote it all down before realizing it was a recipe for glass and silver mirrors. He quickly wrote it down from memory and came to find his grandfather.
Jia Daishan looked at the prescription in his hand with delight.
"Hu'er, if this is true, it would be a wonderful thing! Hu'er, do you have any thoughts on Fangzi?"
Jia Hu smiled obediently.
"Grandson doesn't understand these things, he listens to his grandfather."
Looking at the grandfather and grandson acting out their roles, Jia Daihua felt that it was not unjust for him to lose his dagger.
Jia Daishan carefully put away the prescription.
"This matter is of great importance, but the glass recipe should be given to the Emperor."
After speaking, he looked at Jia Hu.
Jia Hu:
"Grandfather can arrange it."
Jia Daishan patted Jia Hu's head.
"Hu'er, you've done another great service. What reward do you want?"
Jia Hu replied obediently:
"I want my grandfather to promise me one thing in the future."
Jia Daishan:
"What is it? Grandfather can agree to it right now."
Jia Hu:
"I haven't decided yet. I'll use it after I've thought it through."
Jia Daishan smiled and said:
"Okay, I'll use it later."
Jia Hu was in a great mood. Everything was settled, and his grandfather wouldn't let him suffer any losses.
And the best thing is that you can write any amount on a check; I definitely made the right choice in choosing this powerful patron.
Jia Daihua looked at Jia Hu, who was smiling so sweetly he felt like he'd just eaten honey, and couldn't help but pinch Jia Hu's little face. He felt a little envious of his younger brother.
Jia Daishan looked at Jia Hu and solemnly instructed him:
"Don't tell anyone about this yet."
Jia Hu nodded:
“My grandfather, as I know him.”
My grandfather trusted me too much; he believed everything I said.
Jia Hu couldn't help but ask:
"Grandfather, how can you trust your grandson so much? What if you spoil him?"
Jia Daishan laughed heartily.
"What's wrong with that? Hu'er can trust her grandfather a little more."
Jia Hu thought his grandfather was quite domineering, and he mentally screamed,
[Is this my domineering grandfather? Wow! Grandpa's kind of handsome!]
Jia Daishan laughed even more heartily.
Jia Hu left excitedly, feeling a bit tipsy. As the saying goes, "The bold get rich, the timid starve." Alright! He'd go back and continue thinking of a solution!
Jia Daihua watched Jia Hu's proud and arrogant back.
Laughter
"This kid is so funny."
Jia Daishan laughed too, "He's still young."
After the two had finished laughing, Jia Daihua asked:
When will you enter the palace?
Jia Daishan's smile faded:
"We must go to the palace immediately. We've obtained something good; we must get there right away."
The Emperor was admiring the flowers in the Imperial Garden when a eunuch announced that Jia Daishan had arrived. Somewhat surprised, the Emperor said to the chief eunuch Dai Quan beside him:
"Old Jia, who hasn't been seen going out since the New Year holiday started, why is he in the palace today?"
Dai Quan laughed,
"This servant is unaware."
The emperor smiled and said:
"Haha, let's go, this old man doesn't come unless there's a reason."
Upon arriving at the Imperial Study, Jia Daishan bowed, and the Emperor asked, "Why aren't you at home taking care of your grandson? Why have you come to my palace?"
Jia Daishan smiled and said:
"I have encountered something astonishing, and I have come to report it to Your Majesty immediately."
The Emperor became curious.
"What's so surprising?"
This Jia Daishan was no fool; what else could have surprised him so much that he rushed into the palace?
Jia Daishan immediately embellished his account of Jia Hu's story.
The Emperor stood up abruptly and said solemnly:
"Lord Jia, this is no joke."
Jia Daishan smiled and said:
"I do not have such courage."
As he spoke, he took out the prescription, and Dai Quan quickly took it and handed it to the Emperor.
Seeing the Emperor's delighted expression, Dai Quan felt even more that the Jia family must have prayed to some powerful deity, as they seemed to encounter all sorts of good fortune.
"Go and summon the Minister of Works and the head of the Manufacturing Bureau."
The Emperor gave his orders, then looked at Jia Daishan with a complicated expression and said:
"It's not that you love your grandson, it's just good fortune."
Jia Daishan's heart tightened, and he quickly smiled and said:
"That kid is a real troublemaker, always leading his brothers around causing trouble. His only redeeming quality is his kind heart, which is just a coincidence."
The Emperor also laughed and said:
"What child isn't mischievous? I think you've done a good job educating your grandson. Look, this method is the result of your good intentions."
Jia Daishan smiled sheepishly and said:
"This is also thanks to His Majesty."
The Emperor asked in surprise:
"What does this have to do with me?"
Jia Daishan respectfully said:
"It was during their meal that I mentioned the disaster of that year. It was His Majesty who ordered disaster relief and led the nobles in the palace to practice frugality. My grandsons all admire His Majesty and said that they would never waste food in the future and would learn from His Majesty."
Your Majesty praised my teachings, and I accepted that praise. But it is Your Majesty who truly educated my grandchildren, instilling in them compassion, which has led to the positive results we enjoy today.
The Emperor laughed heartily.
"You, you, if I agreed, wouldn't I be getting credit for it? I don't care."
Jia Daishan also laughed.
Whether the emperor believed this explanation or not, he stopped asking about Hu'er's affairs.
Minister Wang of the Ministry of Works and the head of the Horse Manufacturing Bureau rushed over. After paying their respects, they were given two prescriptions.
emperor:
"Let's see if these two prescriptions are feasible."
The two looked at the recipe in their hands with doubt, but became more and more excited as they looked. So that's how it was made. Just by adding a few things, it was so different.
The two were incredibly excited.
Seeing their excited expressions, the Emperor asked:
"Will this prescription work?"
