The return of Fengxi of the Red Chamber

From then on, Jia Lian took up a position in the Ministry of Industry. Because his position was specially bestowed by the present, no one made things difficult for him, so he became a Yuanwailang calmly.

However, Jia Lian thought in his heart that this should be because they were not familiar with black medicine, and it was extremely lethal, so he simply pushed it to himself, a stunned young man, to take responsibility.In this way, if there is meritorious service, then the entire Ministry of Industry will be honored; if something goes wrong, it will be Jia Lian's responsibility, after all, he is responsible for it.

Jia Lian didn't care about the thoughts behind these things. After gathering a group of craftsmen, he left the city that day.

The reason is ready-made, this black medicine is powerful, if one is not careful when researching it in the city, how many lives will be killed.When it comes to Zhuangzi outside the city, even if there is any emergency, it will not cause panic among the people.

As for Zhuangzi, it is his own private house, which was given to him by Jia Amnesty when he got married, and it has been remodeled by Jia Lian long ago. Although he doesn't have many equipment, it can barely be used as a laboratory.

With this small base, Jia Lian's actions are much more convenient. He didn't directly manufacture guns and ammunition.

According to Jia Lian's plan, the first thing he wants to research is land mines.When this thing first started, it was a large firecracker, and when you stepped on it, it would make a loud "boom", but in fact, its lethality was not that great, and it had more of an early warning effect.

Jia Lian led a group of craftsmen and assigned tasks to them one by one. According to the amount of black medicine added, they made different types of land mines, and then tested the difference in their lethality.This job is not difficult. After all, Jia Lian has already laid the foundation at the beginning, and the rest depends on the speed of the craftsmen.

And this group of craftsmen was also carefully selected by Jia Lian. They were not bad in everything, and the progress was relatively smooth, which was a bit better than Jia Lian's estimated effect.Therefore, during the holiday, Jia Lian didn't think about working overtime to express himself, but fulfilled his promise, and prepared to take Wang Xifeng out of the city for an outing.

Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng came to Rongqing Hall early in the morning to pay their respects and ask for leave: "Old Ancestor, the weather is very good today, the wind is beautiful, you have been bored in this mansion all winter, why don't you go out for a walk. Now in spring, it's a good time to let go of paper kites and go outing, how about we take our sisters and Baoyu and relax for a day?"

Jia Shishi knew in his heart that this was the young couple who wanted to go out to play, but they were too embarrassed to go out alone, so they came to pester them.

She replied with a smile: "I am too lazy to move, and in the afternoon I have an appointment with your sister-in-law Zhen in Dongfu to touch the dominoes. It is not good to keep her waiting. Baoyu, Tanchun, and Xichun are still young." Now, even though the weather is warmer in spring, the wind outside the city is still strong, and if they get sick again, it’s not beautiful.”

"Yingchun, on the other hand, is already five or six years old, and hasn't gone out to play yet. The two of you took her for a walk, and when you come back and tell us, you have seen the spring scene."

Hearing this, Wang Xifeng was a little embarrassed: "Since that's the case, I won't go, I will just help the old lady touch the dominoes at home. You are always the reincarnation of the God of Wealth. If you win money, you can reward me with a few big boys, which is better than going out." Is it worthwhile to blow the cold wind?"

Jia Shishi nodded her with his hand, smiled and said angrily: "You monkey, you don't care if you have money, get out of my place soon, and let me rest for a day, laughing every day until my stomach hurts. With your wife and second wife serving, not to mention your sister-in-law Zhu, there is no need for you."

That's all for Wang Xifeng, she chatted a few more gossips with Jia Lian, and then went out.

Jia Lian went to arrange carriages and horses. Wang Xifeng took a detour and found Yingchun's nurse and maid. After tidying up, she got into the carriage and went straight out of the city.

Jia Lian took several guards and rode in front. Wang Xifeng and Yingchun, plus a Ping'er, rode in a carriage.The rest of the nannies and maidservants, seven or eight, sat in two carriages.The remaining five or six servants followed along on foot, and the group left Rongning Street in a mighty manner.

Few of the women in the deep mansion can leave the mansion, not to mention Yingchun and the maids who have never seen the bustling streets, even Wang Xifeng took a look at it for a while.

Rongguo Mansion is naturally magnificent, lush and prosperous, but there is a lively atmosphere outside, which makes people's eyes shine when they look at it.

They went out early, and it was the middle of the morning, and the streets were bustling with hawkers.The morning market hadn't ended yet, all kinds of snack shops shouted one after another, accompanied by bursts of fragrance, Xiaoyingchun and Pinger, it was rare to swallow their saliva.

Wang Xifeng saw it was funny, so she called the rough envoy who was following the carriage, and asked her to pick up the clean and easy-to-break ones, and buy a few copies of each.One part is reserved for them to try something new in the carriage, and the rest is prepared to be sent back to the mansion by a quick-legged servant, to the old ladies, wives, and gentlemen.

The nanny moved quickly, and came back with big and small bags in a short while. Wang Xifeng and Yingchun picked out a few favorites, and then sent them back to the mansion. They sent Laiwang for a trip, and the rest were distributed The people in the two cars behind.

Yingchun looked at the food on the table in amazement, and asked curiously: "Second sister-in-law, what are these, I haven't seen them before in the mansion."

When Wang Xifeng was not married earlier, she also sneaked out for a stroll, so she still recognized them, so she pointed to them one by one and told her: "This is fried liver, this is camellia oil, this is sugar fire, burnt rings, and moxa. Common food for common people. As for these kinds, we also have them in our mansion, but they are made more delicately and the patterns have changed, you have seen them before."

Hearing what Wang Xifeng said, Ping'er came to his senses, pointed to a few of them and said, "Second girl, is this similar to the mahua made in our house? It's just that the ones made in our house are small, and this one looks bigger. And this silver silk scroll, the one made by the mansion is only the size of a finger, but this one is bigger than a fist."

Yingchun listened with great interest, and compared them one by one, and found that they knew each other.

"Wouldn't it be nice to have a smaller one? You can eat it in two or three mouthfuls. If it's such a big one, how can it taste good? Seeing this, the nuns saw it, and they behaved indecently, and punished us for copying books." "

After listening to Yingchun's words, Wang Xifeng pondered for a moment, and then explained in detail: "You are Miss Gonghou, so you must be elegant and elegant in every move. But the people in the countryside pay attention to convenience and convenience. If you are like our mansion Such small and exquisite food, on the one hand, it takes time and effort to make, and on the other hand, it can’t fill your stomach.”

Knowing that Yingchun doesn't understand now, Wang Xifeng didn't just preach, but only told her that if there is a chance later, take her to see how the farmer's life is, and she will know it by seeing it with her own eyes.
