Wings of Hung Chien - Chapter 18

Although Lu Jiaxin was engaged in business, he was a Confucian businessman who emphasized credibility and friendship.

It is not difficult for her to break into the royal business, but it will take a few more years and a few more turns. However, now she has a reason why she has to become a royal merchant as soon as possible. Of course, this reason cannot be explained to outsiders.

There is only one hurdle left, as long as this hurdle is passed, it will be easy to become a royal merchant.

While thinking about what method to use as a stepping stone, Si Hongcang and Yuntian happened to come to her on business.

Si Hongcang came to look for Lu Jiaxin because she asked Carpenter Chen to encounter two problems when making the threshing machine, one was the gear and the other was the bearing. Although the gears do not need to be too precise, the teeth between the gears and the gears need to be caught accurately. The bearing capacity is too low and it is easy to wear.

In addition, the skills of blacksmiths in Yannan Village simply cannot reach that level. If it can be cast with fine iron, it is the best, with sufficient accuracy and wear resistance.

So she found another way and came directly to Lu Jiaxin. If she is well-informed, she may be able to find an iron craftsman who is proficient in this area.

Just because Si Hongcang is very cautious about people and things. And she never thought of using this rice threshing machine to make huge profits. In her opinion, the act of eating alone and monopolizing is nothing but self-inflicted disaster. It’s better to promote things and let others research, develop, and make money, as long as she has something to use.

Furthermore, all she thought was that the rice harvesting and threshing could be carried out at the same time, so as to save time for the harvest. However, the development of civilization is usually accompanied by destruction, and people have to pay a high price while enjoying the convenience.

Therefore, when Lu Jiaxin looked at the design drawing of the rice threshing machine drawn by Si Hongcang’s pictures and texts, his eyes were bright and excited, but in Si Hongcang’s eyes, he felt that it was not right.

“Sister Lu, you can develop and vigorously produce things, but you can’t monopolize it! It’s better to submit tribute first, and let that one decide.” She pointed to the sky with her index finger, and looked at Lu Jiaxin cautiously. Mention.

When Lu Jiaxin heard the words, his body was obviously stunned! As for Si Hongcang’s inspiring suggestion, he secretly said in shock, “Yes! I didn’t expect this level! Furthermore, with such an instrument that is of great benefit to the country’s peasants, it is the hurdle left to become an imperial merchant… Now, don’t you have to step up? !

Lu Jiaxin would not despise Si Hongcang just because she was young. When he turned to look at Si Hongcang, his eyes were focused and clear, and he bowed to her with a solemn expression, “Thank you so much, Sister Sihong.”

“Sister Lu, your gift is too heavy, a little girl can’t bear it.” Si Hongcang quickly staggered away and smiled.

“No, if you hadn’t reminded me, my Lu family would have been destroyed in my hands. By the way, I bought the drawing of this rice threshing machine, and I will also present it for you with this credit. portion.”

“No, since you’ve bought the drawing for the rice threshing machine, we’ve got the money and the goods, and it’s nothing to do with each other after that.”

“This is obviously a big credit…” Lu Jiaxin looked at her in surprise.

“Little girl just read more books than others. Even if it wasn’t me, it would have been designed by so-and-so in the future. Therefore, little girl dare not take credit.”

This money made her feel a little guilty. After all, she came here with thousands of years of powerful knowledge gathered from ancient and modern China and abroad in her previous life! However, if you can get an extra amount of money, no one will dislike it, right?

Si Hongcang pondered for a while, then said to Lu Jiaxin, “By the way, I have an additional condition.

“Please say.”

“I would like to ask you to set up your workshop for making rice threshing machines in Yannan Village! Besides, setting up your workshop in the village will not only provide the villagers with opportunities to work and subsidize their households, but the villagers will also support this person and fellow villagers. , The concept of being more intimate, and helping you more attentively, no.”

Yun Tian and Lu Jiaxin listened to this, but they were only stunned for a moment, then immediately raised their brows and looked at each other with knowing smiles.

“Of course! Yannan Village is my hometown! This fertile water can’t be left to others, right! Sister Si Hong, A Cang! You… If you are in business, then there will be no place for me to stand in Feng Kingdom!”

“I don’t want to be in business! Money is enough for me. Besides, more money means more things!”

But when there is money to be made, of course she also “does my part”. Her Wufeng tea costs 1,000 taels per catty. If you don’t make it, you will be punished by heaven.

After Lu Jiaxin heard her words, he laughed out loud. This Si Hongcang is truly a wonderful person!

Yun Tian was also surprised. Of course, she really impressed Si Hongcang again and again.

The location is back to Xiaoqingxi in Yannan Village——-

At this time, on the country road a little further away, two people were approaching there!

Xu Fumei followed his gaze and immediately understood what Yun Ruo meant. He is afraid of people gossiping! The blush on her face just now hasn’t faded away, but now she is covered with another layer, and Yun Ruo can’t bear to look at her handsome face!

Yun Ruo suddenly thought, anyway, I’m so ugly, it will affect her “reputation”, I don’t care about that reputation.

Xu Fumei turned her head in anger and continued to wash the sheets, ignoring Yun Ruo. She didn’t know whether she was angry with others for gossiping, or whether Yun Ruo was so careful, in short, Yun Ruo avoided suspicion like this, which made her very uncomfortable.

After washing all the sheets, Xu Fumei washed the stick and put it in the basket, raised it to Yun Ruo and said, “Let’s go!”

Yun Ruo looked at Xu Fumei in amazement when she saw Xu Fumei carrying the basket and not intending to give it to him. I thought: Are you going to take me home?

Yun Ruo didn’t want Xu Fumei to go home with him, but he looked at the small basket of beef on the river bank, and it was not easy for him to leave. You can’t have people give you things, and you can’t even let people in through the door, right?

He had to bow his head and silently followed behind her and walked home.

Looking at Xu Fumei’s tall figure in front of her, Yun Ruo secretly compared her, her sister and Si Hongcang, which was taller and more dashing, and came to the conclusion that her sister Yun Tian was naturally better than Xu Fu. Sister is more dashing. No reason!

And Sister Si Hong…it seems to be a little bit prettier than her own sister, um ——- just a little…that’s all.

Xu Fumei seemed to feel that he was looking at herself, and she became cautious when walking, and she couldn’t even walk well.

When Yun Ruo saw it, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and she didn’t admit that she was amused by her stupidity, so she turned her eyes to other places, and made it clear that she was out of sight.

Seeing that her son was back, Song was about to ask if it was cold, but saw Xu Fumei walking by with a basket of washed sheets in her left hand and a small basket of meat in her right. He looked at them in amazement. I thought to myself: How did these two meet?

Although he was also at a loss for what Xu Fumei said to hurt his family Yun Ruo.

However, after comparing his heart to heart, he was not so angry with her anymore. Whose girls don’t pick beautiful boys? Besides, A Cang loves his Ruo’er so much now, who would dare to laugh at his Ruo’er being ugly again?

Yun Ruo didn’t want Daddy to misunderstand, so she naturally stepped forward, took the clothes basket from Xu Fumei’s hand, and said to her father, “Daddy, Sister Fu brought some beef!”

He didn’t want to mention Xu Fumei helping him wash the quilt.

But he didn’t want to mention it, but others didn’t let it go. Wang Rong and Zheng Qinger were sitting in the courtyard of her house.

It turned out that it was the two of them who had come over from the road earlier.

Wang Rong’s face was full of smiles, and she smiled tenderly, “I said which two were doing laundry together by the river? It’s not true from a distance, I thought it was Yun Ruo and Sister Yun Tian, ​​but it turned out to be Fu. Sister and Yun Ruo are together!”

At this time, Si Hongcang and Yun Tian happened to be back together, and just heard this passage.

Yun Tian frowned, pursed his lips and glanced at his younger brother, then looked at Xu Fumei who was standing behind his younger brother.

Xu Fumei greeted Yun Tian silently with a smile on her face.

Yun Tian just nodded politely at her and ignored her. He just looked at Si Hongcang, feeling a little nervous in his heart. Heart said: I hope Ah Cang doesn’t misunderstand.

And Si Hongcang was also looking at Xu Fumei. This is the first time she has seen Xu Fumei so close.

I secretly judged her in my heart.

Well, the facial features are good, the figure is good, and the tall and straight, looks very good! It’s just, how could she and Yun Ruo do laundry by the river? Moreover, the way she looked at Yun Ruo… was very unusual!

This made Si Hongcang feel a little dazzling.

And Yun Ruo was also very concerned about Si Hongcang knowing that Xu Fumei helped him wash the sheets. Moreover, Wang Rong said this, as if he had something with Xu Fumei, which made him feel very uncomfortable. In addition, Si Hongcang seemed to be looking at Xu Fumei, and his heart tightened for no reason.

Yun Ruo thought to herself: I wonder how Sister Si Hong would think of herself? Will she think I’m a random boy because of this?

Yun Ruo stared at Wang Rong coldly and said, “Sister Fu helped me because she saw that I couldn’t twist the sheets!”

Wang Rong looked at Yun Ruo’s expressionless face, although her heart trembled. However, after seeing Si Hongcang staring at Yun Ruo and Xu Fumei together, he was secretly happy.

However, he hurriedly smiled and said, “Isn’t it true, Sister Fu’s hands are strong! It’s okay to help you with laundry, right?”

Yun Ruo was stunned for a moment, but what Wang Rong said was not wrong at all. However, why does it sound a little bit wrong? But I can’t think of anything wrong for a while. Also, what did he and Zheng Qinger come to do at home?

“Qing’er said that he also wanted to learn to read with you, but he said that he didn’t know you very well, so he was embarrassed to come to you by himself, and he was afraid that you would not teach him, so he came to ask me, I thought, you are so gentle and kind, I shouldn’t refuse him, so I brought him here, and now…”

“…” That’s not the time to come, right? ! At least talk to him first, so that he can free up his time! ? Now he is very busy, okay!

“Yunruo, will you teach me how to read?” Zheng Qinger glanced at Xu Fumei before turning to ask Yunruo.

Yun Ruo was a little annoyed by Wang Rong’s unreasonable assertions, but looked at everyone and Si Hongcang…

What can he say?

Si Hongcang could see the troubled look on Yun Ruo’s face, and he couldn’t bear to see Wang Rong’s actions in his heart. This is simply difficult for the strong!

So he smiled at Wang Rong, “Of course Yun Ruo will teach him. However, he’s been very busy recently, so he shouldn’t have time to teach him. By the way, you are Wang Qin’s younger brother, right?”

Because I had seen Wang Rong come to Yun Ruo to ask about knowledge. Regarding his literacy, I thought that he was also a smart one. Although he didn’t know much, he knew a lot.

Later it was Yuntian who told her that his sister Wang Qin had been in school for two years.

“Yes, Sister A Cang, I am Wang Qin’s younger brother, and my name is Wang Rong.”

“Your sister has been studying for two years, hasn’t she taught you to read?”

“Yes, I can even write down the “Analects of Confucius”.” At this point, Wang Rong said triumphantly.

“Well, you’re so smart.”

Hearing this, Yun Ruo lowered his head, his eyes looked at his nose, and his nose looked at his heart.

And Yun Tian was shocked! Frowning tightly, he turned to look at Si Hongcang.

She complimented Wang Rong, who was already lovable, with a beautiful and smart face, with a positive smile on her face.

Seeing her like this, and then looking at her brother with his head lowered, he just stared at the ground silently, wondering what he was thinking? Yun Tian’s heart tightened for a while.

Xindao: This…the love of beauty, everyone has it, who can stop it?

“Why, I’m not as good as Yun Ruo!” As long as people like to be praised. What’s more, the person who praised him was someone whose heart belonged to him!

“It’s because you are too modest. You are even better than Yun Ruo. Therefore, I think this younger brother Qing’er should learn to read with you, so he should be quicker.” Si Hongcang said with a smile.

“Uh, Sister A Cang, but I don’t learn much more than Yun Ruo…” Wang Rong’s heart skipped a beat and looked up at Si Hongcang.

“But to teach younger brother Qing’er, who is illiterate, has already benefited.” Si Hongcang said politely.

Wang Rong was taken aback, Si Hongcang’s words should be complimenting him, right?

Originally thought, Yun Ruo was always indifferent to herself, and wanted to bring more Zheng Qinger over. One party can come to Yun’s house to cross the water in an open and honest way, and meet Si Hongcang by chance. The second party, if there are more people to help Yun Ruo, he will not say that he is busy, is he not free?

But, how could he be surrounded by A Cang’s three or two words? If he taught Zheng Qing’er to read by himself, what reason would he have to use to come to Yun’s house? How are you going to have a chance encounter with A Cang?

Wang Rong was confused now.

At this moment, Yun Ruo could hear the truth in Si Hongcang’s words.

He shook his head and smiled secretly in his heart: Is this sister Si Hong turning the table in the black dragon? However, being turned around by her, she saved herself a burden.

Seeing this, Yuntian suddenly brightened up! He smiled and said: Ah Cang’s thoughts are really twisting and turning! When listening to her in the future, you have to take it easy.

And Xu Fumei, who was standing on the side, looked at Si Hongcang, who was protecting Yun Ruo, who was turning a corner, after watching the evolution of the matter, and looked at Si Hongcang’s Yun Ruo with a soft and sympathetic expression. like.

In her heart, she suddenly felt that a powerful crisis was coming towards her!
