Chapter 72: More Tired Than Last Night
"How can we not be in a hurry?" King Zhongshun sighed. He discussed the court affairs and rushed to the manor without stopping. How could Jia Rong and others think so highly of cement?
"The Huanghuai River has been difficult to control since ancient times. If this material can be proven to be used for water conservancy as soon as possible, people in one more place will be able to avoid flood disasters."
After hearing what King Zhongshun said, Uncle Rong couldn't help but sit there. He patted his clothes and saluted King Zhongshun and said: "It's really shameful for me to be so concerned about the people for a thousand years. I will never dare to build a dam and channel here again."
You are lazy. I will definitely let all the officials in the court and the government see the great uses of cement."
What Jia Rong said made King Zhongshun look at him with admiration. King Zhongshun went to such great lengths to build a dam on his manor just to get the officials to recognize this new type of material. Above the court,
No one person's word is always correct. Even the powerful King Zhongshun also had many concerns.
Next, Jia Rong couldn't be lazy anymore, but King Zhongshun also gave him good news. As long as it could be proven to be useful, King Zhongshun made a deal, and the cement produced by Zhuangzi in Ningguo Mansion was fully covered by the Ministry of Industry.
"It will definitely be useful." Uncle Rong thought about it in his mind and suddenly smiled. The cement produced in his factory has been specially supplied to the Ministry of Industry. If he opens several kilns in the future and sells them to takeaways, those wealthy businessmen will not be able to rush to buy them first?
There are so many villages in the world, which one does not build a dam or a canal? Or pave a road to get to know each other? It's done, it's done.
King Zhongshun snorted, "Don't be too proud. If I find out that you are passing off inferior goods and selling them at a higher price, I will give up the king's title and plunder your Jia family."
"No, no." Brother Rong and King Zhongshun promised again and again. They are trustworthy. At most, the cost is fifty coins and the selling price is two hundred and fifty coins.
With this promise, Jia Rong became more energetic in commanding.
"Brother Qiang, you have to be careful about everything. Don't make any mistakes, otherwise our Ningguo Mansion will be in trouble." Uncle Rong frightened Brother Qiang, and then said to Zong Cheng, "If you continue to spread the word, if it is here,
If the repair can satisfy the palace, I will give you two months more wages."
Zong Cheng grinned and said, "Thank you, uncle."
Immediately, he shouted the news to the craftsmen who were working on it. When the people in the palace and the Ministry of Industry heard this, they were all stunned and envious.
Jia Qiang wiped the sweat from her face and affirmed with Uncle Rong: "I will never make a mistake in what Brother Rong told me."
"Among all the brothers in the family, I am the only one who can trust you." Jia Rong nodded, patted Brother Qiang's shoulder, and said earnestly: "When this place is ready, next year I will ask the ladies from the two houses to give you a report.
Family matters."
Jia Qiang smiled shyly and said, "Thank you, Brother Rong. I'm not in a hurry about this. As long as Brother Rong comes to the village more often, I'll be satisfied."
Forehead……
What's wrong? You're not in a hurry to get a wife? Are you asking me to go to the farm and have a look?
What to see?
You are not asking me to visit you, are you? Uncle Rong's scalp was numb and he was very suspicious of Jia Qiang's orientation. He laughed and said, "You are not young anymore, and you are old enough to marry. I will invite the second aunt.
They should pay attention to whether there are suitable girls in each house."
Jia Qiang agreed with a slight hum and said no more.
In the afternoon, Uncle Rong returned to the mansion. As soon as he arrived at the mansion, he heard that Feng Ziying, Xue Pan and others had been here today. He only left in disbelief when he heard that he had gone to the manor of Prince Zhongshun.
What are the noble sons of the noble families doing? Jia Rong sighed, aren't they just a common man?
"Uncle, don't you want to see me again?" Qin Keqing now also knew that Uncle Rong went to Wanhua Building yesterday, and said leisurely: "After hearing this, Uncle Bao followed him out of the house. Is this woman really so charming?"
When Uncle Rong saw Sister Feng, Lin Daiyu looked over and quickly shook her head and said: "I don't know, I don't know. Maybe it's because this woman is proficient in music, and I am a rough person who doesn't understand this, so I am not interested."
He is different from Baoyu. This guy is only ten years old now and he chases the maids to eat rouge every day. Occasionally he and the maids come to the room to play in the water. After listening to Feng Ziying and others, Baoyu went to Wanhua House to drink flower wine, and then
Nothing more than normal.
Sister Feng said calmly: "Not only Baoyu, but also the second master Lian from the mansion should have gone with him. I am curious, are we in the Duke's mansion not as outstanding as a brothel girl?"
Uncle Rong didn't know who Sister Feng was referring to, so he didn't dare to accept it easily. He laughed twice and said: "It just so happens that Aunt Lin is here today, and Rong'er has some free time to make a portrait of Aunt Lin."
.”
Lin Daiyu's eyes flashed brightly after hearing this, and she nodded and said, "That's fine, I'll bother Brother Rong."
But Jia Rong was a little curious in his heart. This match was made in heaven in the Red Mansion. After hearing that Baoyu went to the brothel, Lin Daiyu didn't have any strange color on her face. He didn't think too much and asked Que'er and other maids to put up the drawing board and the shelf.
I invited this teenage aunt to find a place to sit down.
Lin Daiyu was looking at Jia Rong's serious eyes. Even though there were snow geese in the room, Que'er and other maids were waiting beside her, she still showed a little bit of shame.
Falling in Brother Rong's eyes, he just felt his heart pounding. Lin Daiyu is still young now, and her facial features have not yet fully developed, so the shame she showed is enough to shock people. Brother Rong sighed in his heart, waiting for this little
My aunt has grown up and is a stunning beauty. Why did she fall in love with Baoyu?
Jia Rong thought in her mind that Aunt Lin must have bad eyesight.
In fact, there is a huge difference between Brother Rong's painting for Lin Daiyu and his painting for Sister Feng. At that time, painting for Sister Feng was still very handy, and in addition, he often ran to press the buttons for Sister Feng in the middle of the process, which led to the final
A painting takes several months.
At the same time, it also benefited from the fact that Uncle Rong carved a portrait for Lin Daiyu when he was bored every day in the ancestral hall. Today, it only took an hour for Uncle Rong to draw a rough outline for Lin Daiyu. Only the follow-up
Add a little more detail and soften the lines and it's almost complete.
Xiao Daiyu stood next to Brother Rong, watching him wipe the face of the person in the painting with his fingers and silk. She felt as if the hand touched her own face, and the delicate little face turned red inexplicably.
Got up.
Lin Daiyu said: "It's getting late, Brother Rong, let's do it next time."
At this hour, Uncle Rong was indeed tired from the waist, even more tired than last night. He got up and moved around for a while, and asked: "Does Auntie feel satisfied?"
Aunt Lin nodded her little head and glanced at Brother Rong's wife in the main room, with a slight smile on her face and said: "Satisfied."
It was time to turn on the lamp. Sister Feng came over and saw a little bit of shame on the face of the painting, and her brows frowned unconsciously. When she saw the smile from the heart on Lin Daiyu's face, she said with relief: "It's night, I
