As for why the Han family and the Mo family were invited to this banquet, the main reason is that when Chen Lianghe met in the court, he vaguely mentioned this promotion. It was his compensation for the things Huang Qisheng had committed before, but it was also It expressed that he was a more suitable candidate for the minister of Dali Temple, so he proposed it in front of the emperor.
Although Fang Jing works in Dali Temple, his usual style of doing things is to enforce the law impartially, but he is not pedantic. He knows how important Chen Lianghe's good words are to the emperor. In addition, Huang Qisheng's case has been closed, and he was also deceived. , Fang Jing has long since stopped arguing with him, and there is no way to argue with him. He has a high position and is a popular person in front of the Holy Emperor. The relationship is too tense, and it is inconvenient for him to be in the court.
Things have passed, but I don't think he can still remember it. Not only did he remember wanting to make amends for himself, but he also remembered the Mo family. So when he mentioned that he was about to become the Minister of Dali Temple, he also said in passing that if he had the opportunity, he would also remember it. He wanted to meet the Mo family and see if they had any needs. As long as the request was not excessive, he would agree.
Therefore, there was a banquet for the Han and Mo families.
After listening to her grandfather's words, Mo Ziyuan knew that this banquet was held because Chen Lianghe wanted to compensate her family. "Did grandpa make a request?"
Mo Tingyu shook his head and said, "Our family doesn't need anything now, and I don't have any demands. Besides, he wasn't the one who harmed your father. How can I ask him to compensate you?"
"Grandpa was right. The person who harmed my father was Huang Qisheng. Now Huang Qisheng has received the punishment he deserves. It has nothing to do with him."
"That's what I think." Mo Tingyu said.
"Whatever our family lacks, we can earn it ourselves. We don't have to ask outsiders for it." Mo Ziyuan didn't want to get involved with their family at all.
By now, Mo Ziyuan finally understood why he was called to the pavilion. It turned out that he wanted to ask what he wanted. She thought to herself: He is not bad, but it is a pity that he did not marry a good wife!
The Mo family is talking about Chen Lianghe, and Chen Lianghe is also talking about the Mo family.
On the way back home, Chen Lianghe took Chen Zijian in a carriage. In the carriage, Chen Lianghe asked: "Did you have fun today?" For his eldest son, he had more expectations than his second son Chen Ziqian, so in the second son After he was born, he personally taught Chen Zijian.
Chen Zijian raised his head and replied, "I'm glad. Sister Wanwan and the others are very easy to get along with. I like to play with them."
"But they don't live in Beijing." Compared with the previous words, when Chen Zijian said the next words, the light in Chen Zijian's eyes dimmed.
Chen Lianghe knew that because his wife preferred his second son, Zi Qian, he only took Zi Qian out with him when he went out. As a result, he had no playmates to play with when he was not studying in the Imperial College. As a result, his temperament was introverted and he often liked one person. Waiting, but today I saw him walking with Fang Zhi, as well as the children of the Han family and the Mo family, so I asked him how he was playing.
"If you like it, you can go to the Fang family more in the future." The Han family and the Mo family don't live in Beijing, so it's not easy to travel between them, but the Fang family can.
"I still like to play with sister Wanwan and brother Chunlin." With Mo Ziwan's initiative, Han Chunlin's jumping-off point, Han Qiulu's cuteness, and Li Qiulu pulling him along when playing with the birds. Fang Zhi and Murong Qingyuan were playing with the birds, although they were also walking with him, but they were not talkative people, so Chen Zijian still preferred to play with Mo Ziwan, Han Chunlin, Han Qiulu and Mo Li.
"They don't live in Beijing, but they are not far from Beijing. If you want to play with them, we can go for a trip if you have time."
"Thank you, father!" After hearing this, Chen Zijian's eyes lit up again.
"Then do you have any good playmates in the Imperial College?" Chen Lianghe thought. He had been going to the Imperial College for half a year. He always had a few good playmates. Instead of going out to the capital to find the Mo family, the Han family played with them. , it is more convenient for him to find playmates from Beijing, and playing with playmates from Beijing is also more conducive to his social interaction when he grows up. .
Chen Zijian shook his head.
Seeing him shaking his head, Chen Lianghe was a little surprised and couldn't help but continue to ask. He was surprised that he didn't have a playmate that he could play with in the past six months, "Then how did you play in the Imperial College?" Not only was he surprised, but he was also a little curious.
Chen Zijian replied: "I like to read, they play with theirs, and I read by myself."
Hearing his son say that he likes reading, Chen Lianghe's surprised face immediately put on a smile, and he was relieved that he didn't have a good playmate. Reading is better than playing around! Now that you are capable, will you still worry about not having a playmate? So when he heard that Chen Zijian didn't play with other people because he liked reading, he didn't care at all whether he had good playmates in the Imperial College.
"Okay, it's a good thing that you like reading. If you want to play, dad will take you out to play." Chen Lianghe promised.
After all the guests at home were gone, the Fang family felt relaxed. In the room, Mrs. Yan couldn't help but talk to her old man about Huang Jingshu's attitude towards the Mo family today.
"After all, she is also the Duke's wife. She is a first-class wife of the imperial court. She is like a shrew in the market. But Wan Wan and her breasts are generous, otherwise there will definitely be some trouble at today's banquet."
"I really don't know what she thinks. The Duke of Guo is trying his best to make up for it, but she is good at destroying the Duke of Guo's platform."
Fang Jing couldn't say anything, so he just said: "Wanwan and her mother have been wronged today. Find some gifts suitable for the little girl, and find a time to send them to them another day."
"You don't need to tell me, the boss came back with some New Year's gifts. I gave the jade flute to Wanwan." Then he talked about the handbag he gave her, "When it comes to gifts, the Mo family It’s really a thoughtful gift.”
The maid who was waiting on the side interrupted after Mrs. Yan finished talking about the handbag: "Master, the Han family gave you a big stack of paper. The slave girl looked at the paper. It was white, soft, and delicate. Mrs. Yu said They made the paper themselves. If I think it is useful, they will send it to me in the future."
Fang Jing knew about the paper-making business of the Han and Mo families. After hearing the maid say that they had sent paper made by them, he immediately asked the maid to get paper, pen and ink.
After receiving the order, the maid hurried to the warehouse to get paper, pen and ink, she polished them herself and waited for Fang Jing to write.
Fang Jing first took the paper in his hand and felt it carefully. The paper was smooth, tough and delicate. Then he spread ink on the paper. He saw that the words on the paper had clear rhyme and distinct layers. He then praised : "Good paper!" After praising it, he told the maid: "Go and tell the housekeeper that from now on, to buy paper for the house, go to Lanwan Village outside Beijing to buy it from Han Shuxian."
After receiving the order, the maid turned around and went out.
When Fang Jing talked about Han Shuxian, Mrs. Yan also mentioned Han Shuxian by the way, "I don't think Han Shuxian is a person who deceives the people. Instead, he is doing it for the villagers in his village to live a better life. It’s a lot of effort.”
"If you are really the kind of selfish person who is blind to money, you won't take good care of the Mo family."
Fang Jing said: "His case did not go through Dali Temple. I don't know the details. But when I have time, I can help him investigate again to see what happened. If he is really wronged, it will be found out. , based on what he is doing now, it will definitely be no problem for him to be reinstated."
Ups and downs in the court are common. Not to mention being wronged, even those who really committed crimes returned to the court after being demoted. Fang Jing saved the idea of helping Han Shuxian investigate the case and then investigated him again. Thoughts, if he continues to do his best to help the people as he does now, he might as well recommend him to the court again.
Mrs. Yan said: "I think their family is adapting to life in Lanwan Village. If anyone else gets on the line with you, Master, they might ask you for something. In addition to helping the Mo family, he will ask you for his own business." I have never mentioned that with such a character, I will never oppress the people."
"We still have to check it out to find out the details, but I can help him sell a handful of the paper they made."
"Is the paper they make really good?" Mrs. Yan was still a little unsure.
"If it's not good, how can I change it?"
"I'm not just thinking that they sent the paper and you took care of their business."
"If you are concerned about your feelings, you can buy a car and take care of it. I will never let the housekeeper go to them to buy it in the future."
Mrs. Yan finally understood that the paper made by the Han family and the Mo family was really good, "Then how do you want to help them?"
"Didn't Chen Guogong want to compensate the Mo family? Isn't this the best way? They use the
The paper can also be purchased from Lanwan Village. If he is able, he can send the paper to the emperor. "
"Isn't the paper used by the emperor inferior to this?"
"This paper is more delicate, whiter, and has good toughness, no worse than the paper in the palace."
"We have no control over whether the emperor needs it or not. If you tell Chen Guogong, he will definitely go to Wanwan and the others to buy paper."
Mo Ziyuan and Han Shuxian didn't know that Fang Jing was planning for them. The two families didn't have a few days of leisure after returning home, and they started to get busy again.
In the luncheon meat workshop’s food business, because the vermicelli has been stored for a long time, the vermicelli now sells better than luncheon meat, roast duck, and roast rabbit. Mo Ziyuan’s hamburger business is also getting more and more prosperous, but in terms of business, she does not I don't interfere, I just look at the accounts regularly and give some attention to the luncheon meat workshop when I have new ideas.
School hasn't started yet, so her focus is mainly on studying with Murong Qingyuan and the papermaking workshop.
Although paper has been made and the quality of the paper is very good, Mo Ziyuan is not satisfied with this. There are many types of paper, including rice paper for calligraphy, printing paper for printing, and daily life paper. Toilet paper to be used in.
What Mo Ziyuan wants now is soft toilet paper. This is important because it will make it more convenient in the future.
After Mo Ziyuan told Huang Rui about his idea of making softer paper, Huang Rui went into the papermaking workshop to try it out, forgetting long ago that he wanted to grow medicine next to Murong Qingyuan.
