When Zhang Shou stepped into the Wenhua Hall, he noticed countless gazes, some of which were extremely fiery. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a group of girls. He was stunned at first, and then he realized what was going on. It turned out that at the lecture in the Wenhua Hall, there were actually quite a few girls present, just as Zhu Ying said!
In that era when many heroes rose up to drive out the Mongols, unlike the previous dynasties, where dignitaries or warlords who had held military power for generations stole the fruits of victory, Emperor Taizu, who came from the grassroots, had the courage and ability to break the old rules by restoring China. Otherwise, what he saw now was not a group of girls attending the imperial lecture, but countless bound feet!
In this era without foot binding, it is really heartwarming to see this group of young and energetic girls!
The crown and clothes Zhang Shou wore today were specially tailored for him by Zhu Ying. Not only were they well-cut and not the work of an ordinary tailor, but even the accessories were all given by the emperor - these certainly could not have been his original ones. It was said that Zhu Ying went to the emperor personally to ask for them for him.
At this moment, he did not avoid the girls' gazes, but looked over openly. When he saw Zhu Ying, he nodded to her without hesitation, with a smile on his face.
Zhu Ying was overjoyed to see Zhang Shou nodding to her in public. Although Liu Qing was pulling at her clothes and Princess Deyang was gently pulling her sleeves as a reminder, she still smiled brightly and even waved to Zhang Shou.
When this smile and gesture fell into the eyes of the rich girls nearby, some felt resentful, some envious, some jealous, and some disdainful. But when it fell into the eyes of the men on the opposite side who were secretly watching this side, both young and old, their hearts could not help but beat fast.
Everyone said that the eldest daughter of Duke Zhao's mansion was extremely bright and beautiful, and was the most beautiful woman in the capital. They had seen Zhu Ying riding a horse along the street in the past, unbridled and unrestrained. However, the heroic riding clothes could only show one side of Zhu Ying's beauty at best. How could it compare to the eldest daughter's look at this moment, as she carefully applied makeup for her ideal husband
For a moment, someone even had a ridiculous idea: would it be a beautiful sight if Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying stood side by side in this hall
But this was the Wenhua Hall's lecture after all, and Wu Ge Lao just thought about it, then shook his head in disappointment, and his eyes fell on the artifact that was covered with a black cloth and pushed into the Wenhua Hall before Zhang Shou entered the hall. Not only him, but also Grand Secretary Kong, Grand Secretary Zhang Yu, and even most people in the hall were very curious about what it was.
Even someone who had spent a lot of money to order a table clock from Zhu Ying had a very subtle thought. Could it be that Zhang Shou was using the Imperial Lecture as a place to sell and display his products? Although Zhang Shou was said to have presented a formula for crystal glass to the emperor, and he did not seem to be greedy for money, the table clock that Zhu Ying had personally sold with great eloquence had already made a lot of money!
Even Zhu Jing and Zhu Tingfang, father and son, could not help but look worried, and then they both looked at Zhu Ying at the same time, only to see that she did not notice their gaze at all, and was smiling happily, as if she was talking to Liu Qing and Princess Deyang beside her. Therefore, the father and son, who were not sitting together, could only focus their attention on Zhang Shou.
