"The carriages will arrive tomorrow! I sent a message to the military camp last night. Ten carriages were sent out for the first time. After I get used to them, there will be twenty carriages next time! But brother-in-law, just accept this town. Are there enough vegetables?" Li Hanrui asked.
Zhao Xuanyi smiled slightly
"There's no rush! Let's get these things settled first. Autumn has just arrived. There are still three months left before I can harvest a lot of vegetables. Do it little by little!" Zi Yuan took over a stack of contracts.
"Uncle, these are the contracts we signed. There are twenty-three families in total, and there are about one hundred and thirty carts of vegetables!"
"Well, very good! How much money do these cost in total?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"If we count them all, it will cost about one hundred and twenty taels!" Zhao Xuanyi nodded.
"In this way, you can tell them later that after we collect the vegetables in a few days, if there are any in the surrounding towns that they want to sell, they can all be brought over. I will take as much as I want, but the quality of the vegetables must be good. I don't want the bad ones! I Buy based on individuality, not weight. Don’t put sand in the cabbage or stones in the middle of the radish. Weight is useless!”
"Yes!" After Zi Yuan finished speaking, she turned around to communicate with the farmers. Li Hanrui came to Zhao Xuanyi
"It's very lively! Did you know they would put layers in the vegetables?" Zhao Xuanyi smiled, thinking that in my hometown, these are all pediatrics, not to mention adding sand, adding cement is not a problem!
"We need to put down a few people here to avoid accidents when collecting the vegetables!"
"It's easy! Liu Bo!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"The four people we brought will be responsible for collecting and inspecting vegetables in Haitang Town from now on. We must not slack off. When these things are over, they will return to the General's Mansion!" Li Hanrui gave the order.
"Yes!" Zhao Xuanyi gave Li Hanrui a thumbs up
"Second brother is still awesome!" Li Hanrui took a look and realized that things here are over and there is nothing else to do.
"Brother-in-law, let's go to Zhenbaozhai to see how my sister does business?" Zhao Xuanyi imagined, what about Li Hanyan's temper?
If you stand in the store and don't talk, nothing will happen. Once you open your mouth, it's over.
"I won't go. I still have things to do when I get back! Second brother, please do it!" Li Hanrui didn't force him, turned around and took Liu Bo towards Zhenbaozhai.
Shen Wei came to Zhao Xuanyi
"Young Master, what do we do?"
"Go back. If you want to preserve these vegetables for a long time, you need to make some other utensils for sticking. I will go back and draw the drawings!" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he took Zi Yuan and Shen Wei to the Sun Mansion.
After returning to the Sun Mansion, Zi Yuan prepared all the paper, ink, pen and inkstone, while Shen Wei was practicing martial arts in the yard to keep fit, not letting outsiders disturb Zhao Xuanyi.
Zhao Xuanyi took the brush. To be honest, he wanted to make a simple dryer. As long as all the vegetables were dried and well preserved, the vegetables could be stored for a long time. But how did you make a dryer in ancient times?
Zhao Xuanyi had an idea in his mind, that is, to make a large steamer, like the one used to steam buns. It would be bigger, and no water would be put underneath. It would be baked directly with charcoal. The vegetables would be squeezed to remove a lot of water, and then baked. bake.
Keep changing the upper and lower steamers to achieve the same effect! Thinking of this, Zhao Xuanyi began to draw the shapes of the needed items continuously, while Zi Yuan assisted at the side, changing the paper for Zhao Xuanyi, grinding and changing pens, and bringing tea. Seeing Zhao Xuanyi's busy look, Zi Yuan admired it very much!
Two hours later, Zhao Xuanyi had roughly drawn it. Zhao Xuanyi walked out of the room with these drawings and saw Shen Wei sitting in the courtyard drinking tea. Zhao Xuanyi walked away.
Shen Wei stood up hurriedly
"Young Master, what are your orders?" Zhao Xuanyi handed the drawings to Shen Wei
"Give this to the second brother and ask him to find a carpenter who makes steamers and make it for me according to what I want. It's all made of wood. It shouldn't be difficult. In terms of quantity, I want seventy. It's all written on it. It’s clear, we must speed up!”
"Yes! I'll go right away!" Shen Wei didn't look at the drawings, but took them and left. Zhao Xuanyi returned to the room, sat on the chair, and sighed relaxedly. He finally completed one more thing, what a joy!
Zi Yuan saw so much sweat on Zhao Xuanyi's forehead and wanted to wipe it with a handkerchief. He took out his handkerchief and gently wiped away all the sweat from Zhao Xuanyi's forehead.
"Thank you for your hard work, uncle!" Zhao Xuanyi smiled
"How can you not be tired of making money?" Zi Yuan put away the handkerchief and accidentally saw a handkerchief inside Zhao Xuanyi's sleeve. Zi Yuan curiously pulled up Zhao Xuanyi's arm, pulled out the hand from the sleeve, and took a closer look. This is a green handkerchief, and it does not belong to me or any other maid.
"Uncle, where did you get this handkerchief?" Zi Yuan asked.
"Ah? What?" Zhao Xuanyi turned around and looked at the handkerchief, and then smiled
"Isn't this what Sun Qian wiped my sweat with yesterday? I forgot to give it back to her!" Zi Yuan looked at the handkerchief and narrowed her eyes.
"Is it possible that my uncle has fallen in love with Miss Sun Qian?"
"Ah?" Zhao Xuanyi raised his head and looked at Zi Yuan. When he saw Zi Yuan looking at him with a half-smile, Zhao Xuanyi rolled his eyes.
"What are you talking about? I'm not familiar with her?"
"Really?" After Zi Yuan teased, he opened the handkerchief. Zhao Xuanyi took a closer look and saw embroidery on it. It showed a woman in a white dress holding a jade flute and seemed to be playing music.
On the side is a poem embroidered with black silk thread: "The five rhymes are played through the holes in the wood and bamboo, and the sound reaches the ears and carries good news."
I don’t know when my husband will be happy, every word is like a song that expresses my heart! 】Zhao Xuanyi couldn't help but frown after seeing it. He had never seen what was on it?
"Are you overthinking it? It's only the second time I've met her and we haven't spoken much. She probably wrote it casually or for someone else!"
"Then why did Miss Sun give you this handkerchief? Don't pretend to be stupid!" Zi Yuan was jealous, holding the handkerchief in her hand as if she had caught evidence of Zhao Xuanyi's cheating, and she did not relax at all!
Zhao Xuanyi smiled and held Zi Yuan in his arms
"Oh, why do I smell vinegar?" Zi Yuan said with a straight face, not smiling at all.
"Be serious!"
"You are the one! Why are you so serious?" Zhao Xuanyi took the handkerchief and threw it directly on the table
"I don't like her, so what if she really likes me? Wouldn't it be better to wait until I see her and return the handkerchief to her? You and I are together every day, don't you know what I think?" Zi Yuan looked at it When Zhao Xuanyi threw the handkerchief away, he felt very happy
"Hmph! Who knows what you think about every day?"
"Don't worry, I'll tell you carefully!" After Zhao Xuanyi said that, he gently kissed Zi Yuan's snowy neck and planted a strawberry!
His big hands grabbed Zi Yuan's jade legs and stroked them gently. Ziyuan felt ashamed and scared, and hurriedly took Zhao Xuanyi's big hand.
"Uncle, please, I really can't be so arrogant here. When we return to the capital, Zi Yuan will definitely accompany you!" Zi Yuan said shyly.
"Okay, I'll wait! By the way, I have a few good things to show you!" Zhao Xuanyi patted Zi Yuan's butt, and Zi Yuan stood up in tacit agreement.
Zhao Xuanyi returned to the bed and took the good things Shen Wei bought for him from under the pillow. Zi Yuan was very surprised to see four unfamiliar things in the bag.
"What is this?" Zhao Xuanyi chuckled and explained in Zi Yuan's ear. Zi Yuan's face was so red that she was almost bleeding.
"Oh...my uncle knows how to bully others! Where did you find such a shameful thing?"
"Oh, it's hard to find this thing. I've been looking for it for several days! You put it away carefully. With these things, you won't need to drink medicine anymore and your body will be fine!" Zi Yuan heard these two words. In a word, the shyness in her heart was instantly replaced by emotion. It turned out that Zhao Xuanyi prepared these things because he was not allowed to drink medicine to keep the child. Zi Yuan looked at Zhao Xuanyi with her eyes, her nose was sore, her eyes were red, and her tears fell instantly.
"Hey, hey? What's wrong? Why are you still crying?" Zhao Xuanyi held Zi Yuan in his arms and comforted her softly.
Zi Yuan hugged Zhao Xuanyi tightly, and all the emotions in her heart turned into tears. Her eyes were like spring water in the mountains, unable to help but flow out!
Zhao Xuanyi patted Zi Yuan's back gently
"I told you to stop crying. What if others see me and think I'm bullying you?"
"You're just bullying me!" Zi Yuan said softly. Zhao Xuanyi smiled and hugged Zi Yuan tightly
"You're being a little unreasonable!" Zi Yuan raised her head and kissed Zhao Xuanyi's lips. The two hugged each other and started a sweet long kiss again!
In the afternoon, Zhao Xuanyi had nothing to do. He was holding Zi Yuan and chatting in the room, but Zi Yuan suddenly remembered the two boxes of jade that Zhao Xuanyi bought.
"Uncle, you bought so much discarded jade, what are you going to do with it?" Zhao Xuanyi smiled slightly.
"Just wait and see when you get back to the capital. I can sell these things tenfold. Then you can count the money at home for me!" Zi Yuan smiled and shook her head.
"Maybe I'm too stupid and I really can't figure out how to sell those jade stones? By the way, the lady is still at the Treasure House, how about we go and take a look?"
"No! It's not easy for the two of us to have time alone together. I think you are better than her!" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he gently opened Zi Yuan's collar.
Zi Yuan took Zhao Xuanyi's hand
"Uncle, you can't be like this. You and the lady are husband and wife. Now that you have come to the Sun Mansion, you should show your love for the lady. Let's go to Zhenbaozhai now. If others see you going, they will definitely guess that you like them very much. Miss, this can also prove that the general is not wrong about you!"
"Do you think I like her? Aren't you tired of acting every day?" Zhao Xuanyi said boringly.
"How can you think so? The lady actually likes you very much. Every day when we talk to us, the lady praises you for being smart, good at making weapons, and handling things very sharply. It's just that the lady doesn't want to consummate the marriage with you!" Zi Yuan smiled. said.
"So, how can one's wife not want to consummate the marriage with her husband?"
"Oh, let's go. What do you say when my uncle and the maid are in the room every day and let the Sun family see them? Let's go, let's go!" Zi Yuan pulled Zhao Xuanyi up and walked outside. Zhao Xuanyi was unwilling to be Ziyuan pulled out of the room!
The two of them walked on the street and came to Zhenbaozhai. As soon as they came in, they saw a lot of people in the shop, about a dozen or so. There were more people than men, and they all whispered softly, and from time to time they would let out a sweet smile. Come here. The girls who purchased the items were very happy.
Sun Qian was the first to see Zhao Xuanyi and said hurriedly
"Master Zhao is here? Xiaohong, come and take care of this young lady. I'll go have a few words with Master Zhao!"
"Yes!" A maid came over
"Miss, do you like that item?"
