After playing a few games of chess with He Lianfang in the afternoon, Zhao Yao left.
Before leaving, He Lianfang told Zhao Yao that his people had gone to Wusun to inquire about the news. When Liang Run and the others arrive at Wusun, his people will take the initiative to find them and join them.
Zhao Yao looked stunned after hearing this. He didn't expect He Lianfang to be so fast. I just told him about this yesterday, but I didn't expect that he had already sent someone to Wusun.
It seems that after he left yesterday, his uncle informed his people.
He Lianfang also told Zhao Yao that he asked his people to help Zhao Yao find some good seedlings that could do fine work, and that his people would train these good seedlings. After training, bring it to him.
Zhao Yao was stunned: he never expected that He Lianfang would help him arrange everything in just one night.
It's great to have a great uncle.
It really helped him a lot!
Zhao Yao was a good big brother. He taught his four younger brothers the art of war he learned from He Lianfang without reservation.
At present, what He Lianfang taught Zhao Yao was not difficult. Chu Huan and the others could understand it, but they did not listen as deeply as Zhao Yao, nor could they draw inferences like Zhao Yao.
Song Jicai and the other four are worthy of being the sons of the four great generals. They are very talented in leading troops in combat, learn very quickly, and can use them flexibly.
Dingyuan, Dingshan, and Tong'an stood aside, dumbfounded as they watched Zhao Yao, Song Jicai, and the others fighting on the sand table.
They were obviously fighting on the sandbox, but Tongan and the others seemed to see them fighting on the battlefield.
The dinner was cooked by Liang Run himself. He has good cooking skills, and his delicious dishes are very popular with Zhao Yao and his four younger brothers.
A table of good food was eaten very cleanly.
After dinner, Liang Run took Zhao Yao and the others to the bathhouse to take a bath.
Tongan and Tongxi did not take a bath with them, after all, they had physical disabilities.
When they were taking a shower together, Zhao Yao discovered that there was an obvious birthmark on Dingyuan's lower back. It was a dark red birthmark. The shape of the birthmark looks like a flower.
Zhao Yao asked Dingyuan whether the mark on his back was there since he was born, or whether it was accidentally made later.
Dingyuan said he didn't know. He didn't know there was a mark on his lower back before, but by the time he discovered it, it was already there. He couldn't remember whether it was natural or accidental.
Zhao Yao was just curious and didn't take this matter to heart.
After rubbing each other's backs lovingly with the younger brothers, the relationship between them became even closer.
After taking a bath, Song Jicai and the others reluctantly went back. They wanted to stay the night, but their family wouldn't allow it.
Chu Huan and the others invited Zhao Yao to spend the night at their home, but Zhao Yao refused.
It's not that Zhao Yao doesn't want to be a guest at Song Jicai's house, it's just that his status makes it inconvenient for him to go. Besides, if he goes, it will also cause trouble for Song Jicai and his family.
At this time, in Liang Run's room, Zhao Yao was inspecting the lard soap that Liang Run had spent a day making.
Although the ingredients for making lard soap are simple and the process is not difficult, it is not so easy to succeed.
Liang Run spent a day and failed countless times before he reluctantly made two pieces of lard soap and a pile of broken pieces of lard soap.
Because of the warm weather, the lard soap did not solidify so well and was still a little loose and soft. Leave it out overnight tonight and it will be well set by tomorrow morning.
Zhao Yao washed his hands with the failed piece of lard soap, and found that not only could his hands be washed very clean, but it could also leave a faint floral fragrance.
"Yao Yao, this lard soap is really good." Although it took him a day to successfully make two pieces of lard soap, Liang Run felt very accomplished. "If you sell it, you can definitely make a fortune every day."
Zhao Yao said proudly: "Can what I come up with be bad?"
Liang Run was amused by Zhao Yao's proud look: "Yao Yao, how did you come up with such a good thing?" As he said that, he picked up a piece of lard soap, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, "Add flowers When the juice goes in, it makes the whole lard soap smell floral. It’s really a treasure.”
"Of course it's a treasure, it's better than soap locust." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "It can be used to wash your hair, face and bath, and it can also be used to wash clothes."
Liang Run couldn't put it down and said, "This is a peerless treasure."
"Second uncle, this is not a peerless treasure." It's just a piece of soap, not a peerless treasure. There were too many good things in Zhao Yao's world in his dream, and whatever he created could cause a huge sensation in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"How did you come up with this baby?"
Zhao Yao thought for a while, raised his index finger and said, "I dreamed about it." He didn't lie, it was originally a dream.
Liang Run was dubious about Zhao Yao's words, but he did not continue to ask, but said: "It's a pity that I can't sell it for the time being."
"Second uncle, you can't sell it, but my grandfather can." Zhao Yao also just thought of it and said with a bright face, "My grandfather is now the governor of Yangzhou and the largest official in Yangzhou. The most important thing is the group of aristocratic families in Yangzhou After being eradicated by my father, no one is more powerful than my grandfather, and no one can threaten my grandfather and let him make lard soap and sell it."
Liang Run's eyes lit up when he said this, and his expression became a little excited.
"Yes, you are right, you can let dad and the others make it and they will sell it."
"When the time comes, let my grandfather present the lard soap as a tribute to my father. This will be more guaranteed."
Zhao Yao's idea was good, and Liang Run thought it would work.
"I'll write to your grandfather right away." After Liang Run finished speaking, he couldn't wait to write.
"After the lard soap solidifies and hardens, you can also carve patterns and words on it." Zhao Yao pinched his chin and said thoughtfully, "In this way, the lard soap will become more delicate and beautiful. I will buy it when the time comes. There are more people.”
"Yao Yao, your brain works very fast." Liang Run didn't expect this.
"You can also carve famous paintings on lard soap." Zhao Yao continued, "You can also make lard soap into various colors and various scents. In addition to using flower juice, you can also use spices or incense to make it. "
"Yes, you can also add fruity flavor."
Liang Run wrote a letter while discussing with Zhao Yao how to make lard soap better.
The uncle and nephew stopped talking about lard soap making until late at night. If Zhao Yao hadn't been sleepy and yawned, they would have continued talking.
Before Zhao Yao fell asleep, he didn't know why he suddenly thought of the birthmark on Dingyuan's lower back. The more he thought about it, the more he felt like he had seen it somewhere before.
Seeing that Zhao Yao was still awake and thinking about something, Liang Run asked with concern: "Yao Yao, are you still thinking about lard soap?"
"No, I'm thinking about the birthmark on Dingyuan's body. I feel like I've seen it somewhere, and it looks familiar."
"Have you seen it? Where did you see it?"
"I don't remember." Zhao Yao frowned slightly and said thoughtfully, "I always feel that the birthmark on Dingyuan's body is not simple."
"What's the meaning?"
"Dingyuan should not be as simple as a beggar." Zhao Yao guessed, "Dingyuan's demeanor does not look like he comes from an ordinary family. His family should be either rich or noble. I suspect that Dingyuan has been abducted."
"If you put it that way, Dingyuan is indeed more like a young master from a wealthy family." Liang Run felt that Zhao Yao's guess was correct. "It's a pity that Dingyuan doesn't remember what happened when he was a child."
"Dingyuan was probably abducted when he was very young." Zhao Yao thought of the script he had read before and continued to guess, "Dingyuan was also probably abducted by his family."
"What does it mean to be abducted by family members?"
"Dingyuan may be the legitimate son of a wealthy family, or the son of a concubine who was secretly sent out and sold by the mistress or the concubine..."
Liang Run heard what Zhao Yao said and thought it was very possible. Things like this happen all the time in wealthy families.
"This child from Dingyuan must have been abducted when he was very young. He now speaks with a Beijing accent and no accent from other places. It is difficult to find out where his hometown is."
"Well, his family will be very sad if Dingyuan is abducted." Zhao Yao thought for a moment and said, "Let's investigate from the birthmark on his lower back. Maybe we can find something."
"What can you find out about birthmarks?" Liang Run said, "Birthmarks are not family emblems, so they are easy to investigate. Besides, birthmarks like those on Dingyuan are very common, and many people have the same birthmark."
"Yes, but I still feel like I've seen it somewhere." Did he see it in Zhao Yao's world in his dream?
"There's no rush, just think about it slowly." Seeing that it was getting late, Liang Run said hurriedly, "Don't think about it now, go to bed quickly."
Zhao Yao couldn't think of where he had seen it for the time being, so he had to put it aside for now.
"Second uncle, are you ready to pack your things?"
"Well, we'll start packing tomorrow." Liang Run said, "We'll leave for Wusun in a few days."
"I asked Laiyi and the others to set off with you so that they can help us deliver the message." Zhao Yao had already agreed with Laiyi and the others to let them follow Liang Run and his group to Wusun. He also asked Laiyi and the others to inquire about the birds over there in Wusun. It would be best if a few birds over there would come back. "Actually, it would be best to let Laifu go with you, but Laifu belongs to the father."
Liang Run smiled and said: "I heard that there are a lot of sea greens, falcons, and golden eagles over there in Wusun. When I get there, I will buy a few."
"Okay." Zhao Yao said expectantly, "Second uncle..."
Zhao Yao wanted to say something more, but Liang Run covered his mouth with his hand.
"It's getting late. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it tomorrow. Now hurry up and go to bed." After Liang Run finished speaking, he hugged Zhao Yao into his arms.
Zhao Yao yawned, curled up in Liang Run's arms and slowly fell asleep.
The next day, the lard soap made by Liang Run became much harder.
Of the two pieces of lard soap, Zhao Yao left one for Liang Run, and he gave one to Liang Zhaoyi.
This lard soap can only be used secretly for the time being, and it cannot be seen by others.
Liang Run asked Zhao Yao to take both pieces of lard soap back to Liang Zhaoyi. If he wants to use it, he can refine it again.
Zhao Yao felt that it would be a bit arrogant to take them all back and use them. No one else could discover the existence of lard soap until his grandfather paid tribute to it.
There are too many eye-catchers in the palace, and it will be leaked if you are not careful.
Seeing Zhao Yao's insistence, Liang Run had no choice but to listen to him. Leave a bar of lard soap behind.
The second update is here.
