All the maids in Wang Xifeng's room were kicked out. Only Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng were included. None of the maids dared to come even half a step closer to the house.
"I only treat Ronger as my nephew!" Sister Feng replied to Mrs. Wang seriously.
Mrs. Wang didn't look good at all: "Who knows whether he will treat you as an aunt? He is as bad as the master in their house. I have seen many brothers like him. Every one of them is unethical. Stubbornness."
Wang Xifeng said: "I am my wife's biological niece. If my wife doesn't believe in Rong'er, why don't you also believe in my niece?"
"Rong'er, who is open and shut, when have I ever heard you say a kind word about Lian'er?" Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth. She wanted to tear Jia Rong into pieces due to old and new grudges. She sneered: "This time it was a false alarm. Since If you're not pregnant, stay away from him, and don't let Lian'er raise the child for him."
Wang Xifeng felt sad after hearing Mrs. Wang's words. Although she was indeed close to Brother Rong, she had never done anything deviant. At that moment, she didn't even want to call herself niece, and only said: "Does Madam not trust my nephew-in-law so much?"
"What's the use of whether I believe it or not? Can your wife believe it? Can Lian'er believe it? Or can You believe it?"
Sister Feng said sadly: "Madam, my nephew-in-law has not only taken care of his own yard, but also the yard of my wife's house in the past few years. In the entire Rongguo Mansion, is there anything in the house that I can't worry about? Can I ask my wife to teach me?" If I don't win over people, how can I use them?"
…
"Win over?"
Jia Rong asked Ke Qing to shave her little nose, "I know I won't explain, and you have to think about it for a few days and nights by yourself. Although Sister Feng is public, she is the most upright and upright person in her heart, and she will never do anything inappropriate. .Anyone who wants to be intimate with her will only be caught by her as a mouse."
"Auntie doesn't have that idea in her heart, but what about uncle?" Qin Keqing said quietly, "I can't believe that uncle's nervous expression is fake."
This girl is still jealous.
Jia Rong held her tightly in her arms, bit her ear and said, "No wonder Sister Feng said you have Aunt Lin's style, and you look exactly the same when you are jealous."
Qin Keqing felt itching on her ears, and she trembled and hid down.
Jia Rong felt that she had been caught, and quickly explained and begged for mercy: "Sister Feng wants to win over your father, and I will also win over Sister Feng. My dear, please let go quickly, don't play with that stubbornness."
Qin Keqing snorted: "Although I can't ignore people like Aunt Lin, I might imitate Aunt Lin and pinch people."
"Don't pinch me there." Jia Ronghan was already out. Being pinched was quite offensive.
Keqing got out of the quilt, but did not let go of the handle in his hand, and continued: "I also know your men's temperament, but there are already three in the yard, and they are not satisfied. You need to spread the word with aunt again. What, not to mention that aunt is shady, even I am shady."
"No way!" Jia Rong said with an accommodating chuckle, "There are three of us in our yard, isn't there only one who is good to look after?"
"Hmph, Ruizhuizhu and the others, and that little follower behind you. What are they if they're not three?"
"If they want to marry someone in the future, they must not ruin their reputation by talking nonsense. If they can't get married in the future, it will really be in our hands."
"What do you mean by smashing your hands? It's such an unpleasant thing to say. If they can't get married, then they won't get the uncle's wish. They can just stay at home and be aunts, adding children to the Ningguo Mansion and everyone will be happy."
As she spoke, Qin Keqing's expression suddenly changed because she felt the handle in her hand stand upright. He hummed, "Still causing trouble!"
If you keep holding on, can you avoid causing trouble?
Seeing the shame on Ke Qing's face, Jia Rong turned over and made another fuss before falling asleep peacefully.
I no longer have to worry about the matter between Brother Rong and Sister Feng.
For several days, the two of them did not move around each other, perhaps because they wanted to avoid suspicion. Until Sister Feng came to the door that day, Jia Rong was not in the house, but went to Zhuangzi where the cement kiln was located.
"Where are Brother Yun and the others?"
Jia Qiang said: "Didn't you see Brother Rong when he came? People from several nearby villages said that our trucks transporting stones damaged the road. Brother Yun took the people from the village to repair the road."
No wonder the road here feels extremely bumpy when sitting in the carriage.
"So a lot of stone has been transported in?"
Just as Jia Qiang was about to return to him, Zong Cheng, the leader of the craftsmen, came and laughed loudly: "Master Rong is here. Our furnace has been built and most of the various stones have arrived."
Jia Qiang and Zong Cheng led him to the kiln site again.
Looking at the thing in front of him, Jia Rong felt something indescribable. Very tacky and awkward. It was very shabby compared to the old earthen kilns he had seen in the countryside.
There are two workshops next to the cement kiln. Zongcheng explained: "According to Rong Ye's idea, we built two millstones on the left and right sides of the kiln, one for grinding raw materials and one for grinding raw materials." Grind the clinker. Just send the raw material ratio to the first stone mill to grind it finely, then send it to the kiln to calcine the clinker, and then use the last stone mill to grind out what Rong Ye needs."
Uncle Rong nodded and asked Brother Qiang, "Is the money needed enough?"
"Brother Rong, don't worry. We know that this silver and gold are going to be used for big things, so we will save money. I have discussed it with Brother Yun and Master Zongcheng. Any expenditure needs to be signed by three people, and no waste is allowed. ." Brother Qiang said: "It doesn't cost much money to buy these stones, but the road outside is rugged, and transportation not only takes a long time, but also requires a lot of labor."
Outside Zhuangzi, the road is gravel and dirt, and the vehicles are oxen, horse and donkey carts.
When animal-drawn carts loaded with stone walked on this road several times, two deep ravines were left on the road, making it really inconvenient to transport heavy objects. But he didn’t have the ability to build a cart stronger than an animal-drawn cart, so he comforted him by saying, “When the first furnace of clinker is ready, try to pave a small section of road first, firstly to make it easier for the cattle-drawn carts to pass, and secondly to Experimenting with cement effectiveness.”
Brother Qiang nodded: "I will send someone to invite Brother Rong then."
Jia Rong smiled and said: "Don't fool me, you know the fate of Jia Juan and Jia Qin. Jia Juan embezzled money from the Yi kiln. Not only did their sixth-room master pay compensation, but he also suffered a beating. You are greedy for ink." I will not be merciful. If anyone is really short of money, he can come to me directly to get it."
"It's safe. Brother Rong's reputation has spread throughout Zhuangzi. Who dares to be greedy?" Brother Qiang smiled and said: "I heard that Brother Rong changed the rules for the free school. The one who ranks highest every month I can get a reward of ten taels."
Jia Qiang looked expectant, but she almost said directly that he didn't want to work here anymore and wanted to go back to study.
In the past, there were only eight taels a year, but now there are ten taels a month. Who wouldn’t be excited to hear this? What are you still doing here? Why not go to school?
Even the people in Zhuangzi thought of sending their son to Jiajia Yiyue School, just to earn the ten taels of silver per month.
"It is indeed true that any member of the Jia family's voluntary students who ranks first in articles of the month, and is among the best in classics, history, policy, theory, judgment, expression, and poetry, will receive ten taels of silver. If there is one item among them that is extremely outstanding, You can also get a 20-tael scholarship.”
"Forehead……"
Jia Qiang was dumbfounded. It didn't sound that simple. Whoever wants these ten taels of silver can take it. He doesn't dare to hope for this little ink in his belly.
When it comes to this matter, Jia Rong feels helpless.
Why didn't he want to set up some more applicable subjects in the free school, such as arithmetic, mathematics, industry, agriculture, etc. But after it was proposed, there was no support at all. Therefore, the current Yi Xue is set to focus on the Eight-legged Gu (eight-legged essay) theory, supplemented by historical and political theory and judgment.
