The Honest Man of the Red Chamber

Seeing that she came to her senses and only turned her head to reveal her beautiful and fair side neck, Jia Zheng stood up and couldn't help touching that seductive curve, and said with a smile, "Why are you only allowed to be jealous, but I am not?"

"...When did I get jealous? I'm not jealous." Wang Guizhi made him shudder, seeing him say this, but he couldn't remember when he was jealous.He was so obedient during this time, although she had never questioned him, but with her feminine intuition, she could still tell if he had someone else.

Seeing that she was stubborn, Jia Zheng no longer forced her to admit it, anyway, he knew it in his heart.If she hadn't been jealous, then Aunt Zhao was thousands of miles away from Rongguo Mansion, why did her daughter-in-law just mention it a little, and she really allowed Aunt Zhao to marry herself.I was also afraid that he would not follow me, so I deliberately wanted to show "fairness" in front of my daughter, so I had to say a word.

She still remembers such a long time ago, she was only willing to marry someone out.

Jia Zheng looked at Wang Guizhi with embarrassment, and she coughed twice, "The clock has been set for ten or so days, how do you see it?"

See, she is used to this. When she is not sure, it is not good for her, and she doesn't want to take up the original topic, she must say something to distract her. After finding out her context, Jia Zheng felt that she This look is also very cute, and she replied following her words, "It's pretty good, it's your watch shop, and the business will definitely flourish again in the future."

"What about my watch shop? It's an investment project of the Dayuan Chamber of Commerce. I'm just one of the shareholders." Wang Guizhi explained, to be honest, two-thirds of his salary is in the company, and she Here, right now, it's really just an investment, and it's not promising. Although the amount on the book seems to be there, the actual funds are really not very abundant.

After all, the small loan of her Guizhi business is at least 51 taels to others, but their monthly repayment is only one-twelfth or one-fifteenth of the amount.

If Caixia were to dig out her makeup box right now, she might not even have 500 taels of silver. For a person whose salary alone costs tens of thousands a day, Wang Guizhi, who considers herself a middle-level manager, feels that she is a poor person.If one of her investments fails, it may cause her income to drop below the safe value.

If only she had eaten less before, but now that so many people eat with her, Wang Guizhi dare not be careless for a moment.

"...You." Sometimes Jia Zheng was really curious why she always remained so calm in the face of financial interests, obviously every time she did things with such a big hand, she seemed very cautious in some places. "Is it better to use girls in the watch shop?" He asked casually, thinking that the big clocks are all strong men, but delicate items such as sitting clocks, small clocks and pocket watches at home are also true. It is a woman who needs to be more dexterous.

Out of the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the rabbit fur scarf hanging on the screen, which was specially dyed dark gray so that it could be woven for him to wear.It's too warm in here to be of much use.It's really a pity.

"Of course." Of course Wang Guizhi knows that it's okay to let a man do it, but she must try her best to fight for an equal job opportunity with women!

It is very difficult to change people's inherent concepts. After all, human behavior starts with imitation, and so many people do this. If you suddenly say no and change them all, the resistance will definitely be great.But if it is a new thing, such as a watch shop, she chooses some girls with good hands and eyes to learn, and she believes that they are some kindling left behind by her.

"It's the day of the lottery draw, have you made arrangements?" Wang Guizhi stayed for a while, and then pulled away the hand that had been stroking her neck back and forth. Really, isn't it just telling a story about a vampire? , this guy always wants to bite and try.

If it wasn't for the fact that she was very sensitive on the side of her neck, Wang Guizhi really wanted him to try it once.

"It is not allowed to add another person to change the seat. Do you know how much space I will change here if I add one person to your side?" Wang Guizhi felt sorry for her organizing team.

The officialdom is much more difficult to deal with than theirs. Those in her organizing team can only be regarded as junior public relations teams. They have dealt with all kinds of teachings and nine streams in the market. It's hard for them.

Jia Zheng didn't even open his eyes, "Whoever made your activities attract the emperor's attention, I have stopped some of them." He also has a temper. Absolutely when those posts did not see.

Wang Guizhi pursed his lips, the tree attracts the wind!But the boat couldn't run without wind, so she pulled out his eyelids with her hands, "Then I don't care about that much, anyway, no one is allowed to be added from today, today is the final deadline. People from Beijing and Jinling are coming soon !"

"Okay, okay, up to you, up to you." Jia Zheng deliberately refused to open his eyes, and let her play with his eyelashes. Only at this time, his heart was peaceful and happy.

"See! It's that treasure ship!"

All the people in Human Affairs City believed that even if the gods came down to earth, a big Huashi ship like this would be worthy.

As each piece of wood is slowly knocked away with the slogans of dozens of workers, more and more people in Wucheng will wait and see without fear of hard work. Even at night, sometimes they will come to watch after hearing about it. —a colossal man.

Even as a draftsman who repeatedly researched and planned the blueprints, and followed the old craftsmen who started making boats from their ancestors, they would be surprised whether this big boat was really made by them, every partition, every mechanism twisting, every water diversion cabin, waiting for the natural sun heat to dry them every time, and repeating this seemingly boring and repetitive action again, when the bow carved with the dragon head was delivered and installed, everyone looked at the ship, I don't know why I feel sore and swollen in the eyes, and many people are unable to speak and shed tears.

No one knows the value of this treasure ship better than them. The wooden bones used for the most important part of the ship's core even reached the point of two or three meters. Apart from their hard work, what's more, the wife never urged him to eat enough every day. The food, the various materials delivered on time every month, the warm wine every year, and in the end, even the young grandson of the Jia family who is the head of the house was sent to eat and live with them, and they lived together.

This kind of trust in everyone's ethos brought craftsmen and boatmen more than just aspirations for a better future. As the boat gradually took shape, they were suppressed for a whole day and didn't know if they could build a big boat. Their craftsmanship and confidence It also gradually recovered.

They can do it!

A majestic teacher, a great country, protecting the people, sailing across the sea and breaking the waves without fear, should have such a big ship, which is unmatched by anyone in the sea!

"There are still ten days. Are you sure you have checked everything carefully? There must be no mistakes!"

Jia Rong's voice was a little hoarse.There is no way, even taking the megaphone sent by the second aunt on the boat is useless. You still have to speak loudly to make everyone obedient.

"Checked carefully."

"There is no problem with the water leakage detection of the No. [-] cabin."

"There is no problem in the fire inspection of the No. [-] ship."

……

"The test loading of No. [-] cabin is completed."

"The whole ship has passed the crash test."

……

"Okay, everyone has worked hard. After today's work is over, I will treat everyone to a banquet!" Jia Rong breathed a sigh of relief, and the people who were going to try the lottery on the boat were not only the second uncle, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, but also the governor of Yijun County. The prince, members of the Jia family, the caravan elite of the Wang family, nearby officials, etc., and the Holy Majesty asked questions from time to time.

The Supreme Nine Kings, the words of the Tian Family, made them feel more and more stressed under the specific instructions they received from Wang Guizhi, who had already given countless terms and requirements.

Looking at the destruction-like instructions that required them to pour hot water, torches, tung oil or let the suspension bridge be hit with hard rocks, if Jia Rong hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, the craftsmen who built and polished the boat with one hand and one foot would not be able to go down. hand.

Fortunately, every material is real, and their work is more fruitful under these instructions that are equivalent to destruction.

This kind of high-level and truly penetrating mission order to the center of gravity makes everyone believe that not only they are working hard, but more people are helping them, and with such strict tests one after another Underneath, except for some traces on the surface, their big ship showed its heavy responsibility under the high cost.

On that day, when their big ship actually launched into the ocean, it will definitely be recorded in history.

Not daring to eat alcohol for fear of causing trouble, Jia Rong only dared to add meat and vegetables. Everyone was full and satiated. After resting for half an hour, the craftsmen spontaneously climbed onto the boat and continued to work under the illuminated oil lamp. .

Master Xin had the tobacco rod in his mouth, and there was no shredded tobacco in his pouch, but after all, he had smoked for nearly a lifetime, so he was considered a dry addict.

Seeing this, Jia Rong hurriedly asked someone to give him a box of high-quality Yunyan Qingyunsi. In the past year here, he has learned a lot under the guidance of Master Xin. , but when he wrote back, his father bought some specially for him to prepare as gifts.

"Thank you, Uncle Xiao Rong, for your love. The little old man has quit smoking." Master Xin put the smoke pot on his hand and tapped it twice, but there was nothing there.

"Then..." Jia Rong was a little embarrassed, the gift didn't meet his expectations.

Master Xin is 78 years old, and he looks at Da Chuan with affection, "I already have one of the most proud things in my life, little old man. It doesn't matter whether you smoke or not." He winked at Jia Rong , "Madam doesn't like the smell of cigarettes, otherwise, Mr. Xiaorong, you don't have to take out the shredded tobacco today. You want to give it to the little old man."

Jia Rong laughed, "Sure enough, ginger is still old and hot."

"On that day, the little old man may also be lucky enough to meet the old lady, so how can he dislike the lady. If Mr. Xiaorong really wants to reward me, why don't you reward me with a pair of cashmere knee pads newly made by the lady?" Let's go." Master Xin has been a carpenter all his life, and he never stops working when he is not repairing the boat.He has raised four sons, two daughters, and many grandchildren, and his branches and leaves are scattered, so his news naturally comes more than others.

Although these knee pads are generally used more by people in the north, some people say that Madam's knee pads are different from those in the north, which are generally made of leather, but have good stretching force and breathability. good things.Others naturally don't need it, but they, who often squat and kneel to do water sports by the sea, must be very comfortable with it!

It's a pity that the things made by the madam are in short supply, and the Holy Majesty sent them to the west for the soldiers who are guarding the territory, and they can only listen to them.If you have this thing, it is not many times better than shredded tobacco.Anyway, he can't smoke anymore.Since he can't smoke, all the boys in the family are not allowed to smoke.

Jia Rong thought it was not a big deal, so she agreed, "What are these, I will definitely get you a pair." Isn't it just for knee pads, what's the value.

Ordinary knee pads are really worthless, but unfortunately Wang Guizhi can't change so many cashmere and cashmere-free things for a while...

Yuan Chun asked Yuan Kang for cashmere, Yuan Kang saw that it was such a trivial matter, how could he not satisfy her, and directly took away most of the things that no one wanted at all (some of the things that had been twisted into wool and ready to be knitted were all taken away. up.)

After washing, bleaching, loosening, threading, and dyeing, Wang Guizhi let Yuanchun give the family more than two sets, and even made a lot of stuffed toys for the baby in her belly. few.I simply made some exquisite chain-link flowers inlaid with gold and jade for the emperor, queen, Xianjun Wang and other main royal family members, and made them all into black sweaters. By the way, Wang Guizhi also added some convenience food, such as seasoning cubes, fried noodles, canned meat and so on.

How did it play out in the [-] version of Dream of the Red Chamber? After the defeat of King Nan'an, Tanchun asked Princess Nan'an to replace her only daughter to marry and get married!

She didn't understand anything about the war, but Wang Guizhi thought, if they won this time, would the small country dare to make trouble?Even if he dared to, with a group of soldiers who had experienced wars, could they fail like King Nan'an who didn't even know how to fight?

Probably not.And to put it bluntly in today's war, what is the fight?Fighting is resources, money and food!

She couldn't believe it. Under the siege of so many well-equipped soldiers, with enough food dispatched by the whole country, she definitely fed her own soldiers all the time. Could she not kill the shit on the other side?

Speaking of which, Emperor Tingzai's secrecy measures were really good. She didn't know that there was a war in the west until she saw Jia Zheng received the first victory report.

It is said that the spring cannot be made because of steel, and once there is steel, the musket can meet certain material requirements and can be updated.

Wang Guizhi guessed, should he try to work hard on that?

But she is really poor. The biggest investment is in the big ship. She has no plan to use the money from the big yuan bank. She is afraid that it will be unclear when the time comes. If she refuses painfully, she can let Jia Rong participate in the construction, but the ownership of the ship can only be hers, and this cannot be compromised.

She spent almost all the rest of the money, and it was embarrassing to say that, if it wasn't for Jia Zheng's salary and the Jia family's monthly allowance, she might not even have the money to reward others once in a while... (Madam, we don't want money, you can reward us with anything else!)

It seems that we have to wait for this time to go to sea, and only when we come over smoothly can we recover a lot of blood!

Just wait, everything has to be done.

Wang Xifeng looked at Director Yingchun with her stomach full, and saw that although she spoke softly, she made clear assignments, so she couldn't help nodding, took the white fungus soup from Ping'er, and ate it with a spoon.

"Grandma, don't worry. Don't worry about what kind of person you are, can you teach them well? Besides, the second girl grew up with the old lady. Although she is young, she speaks politely. But there is also a sentence." Ping'er smiled and said, she knew what the second grandma was worried about, maybe she was afraid that the second sister would not be able to hold on, and the old lady would be persuaded to move her heart, and she would give birth to the old man's desire to continue. idea.
