The first month passed, and everything began to recover.

There is one more person in Rong Zhai, but nothing has changed.Rong Sanlang seemed invisible, he stayed in the room every day except for meals, it was really gloomy.

But for Rong Xi, it was a peace of mind.

A few days later, he and Qin Ke returned to the house from the workshop. Liu Zishi stepped forward to lead the horse, approached Rong Xi, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Lang, I heard from Xi Yan that after noon today, Mr. Sanlang left the house."

This is strange.

Rong Xi asked curiously: "What is he doing when he leaves the house?"

"I stood outside the school for a full two hours!" Liu Zishi admired him a little.

Rong Xi stamped his feet and raised his eyebrows, "If I remember correctly, the afternoon class is arithmetic."

"Lang Jun, it is indeed arithmetic."

Rong Xi chuckled and stopped talking about Rong Mo.

At dinner, Rong Mo still ate with his head bowed, without any sense of presence.After the meal, Rong Sanlang was about to turn around and leave, but Rong Xi called him back.

"Third brother, I have a book for you."

Rong Sanlang didn't answer, just stood still.

"Come with me."

Rong Xi led him to the study, but he followed obediently.

After Rong Mo came to Rong's house, Qin Ke asked people to investigate Rong Mo's life.

I won't go into details about being bullied and so on.To Rong Xi's surprise, it was not Rong Weiheng who decided to come to Rong's house, but Rong Mo himself.

Apart from not being fond of words, Rong Mo has another special feature, which is not well known.

He is extremely sensitive to arithmetic.

Rong Weiheng was engaged in a small business with a small shop, but although the sparrow was small, it had all the internal organs, and the business ledger was recorded in great detail.

When Rong Mo was a child, Rong Weiheng often hugged him to look through the ledgers. Sometimes Rong Weiheng needed to use the abacus to calculate for a long time, but Rong Mo had already finished the calculation in his mind.

After discovering Rong Mo's talent, Rong Weiheng tried to train him to start a business, but Rong Mo was not interested at all.

After Rong Xi was praised by the Holy Majesty, when the people of Shengjing talked about him, they no longer looked down upon him in the past.

Among the Rong family, there are many people who are jealous and envious.

Although Rong Mo didn't talk to others, he heard some stories.But no matter what kind of new things, they can't impress him, except for one thing.

There are many merchants in Shengjing, and there are not many who come from Mount Meng.

Rong Weiheng had some dealings with the merchants, and when he heard about the new algorithm, he found it quite novel, and pondered it carefully after returning home.

When Rong Mo found out about it, he immediately fell into obsession.

The father knows the nature of the son, Rong Weiheng hurried to find the merchant and asked him the reason for the algorithm.Because Hu Yulin was famous for Rong Xi, the merchant knew that the algorithm was compiled by Rong Xi, so he told Rong Weiheng frankly.

Therefore, Rong Mo decided to come to the ancestral house.

Thinking of this, Rong Xi showed a gentle smile, took a book and handed it to Rong Mo.

"This book is for you."

When Hu Yulin borrowed books back then, he reminded Rong Xi to prepare a few more books.

As soon as the book fell into Rong Mo's hands, Rong Mo suddenly raised his head, his eyes were dark and heavy, seemingly without a trace of light, but they seemed to burst into flames in an instant.

Rong Xi finally got to see Rong Mo's face.

Everyone in the Rong clan is not bad in appearance, although Rong Mo is not as good as Rong Lian, he can be considered handsome, but because of his overly gloomy temperament, he is not loved and bullied by others.

"After reading this book, if you come to me again, I will give you another book."

As soon as Rong Xi finished speaking, Qin Ke appeared outside the study.

Without uttering a word, Rong Mo bowed and saluted, and quickly left the study with the books in his hands.

After he walked away, Qin Ke entered the room and closed the door smoothly.

"You want to train him?"

Rong Xi leaned on the back of the chair, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

"The third brother has this talent, I can't bear to let the pearl be dusted."

Qin Ke sat down, moved his legs to his knees, massaged him gently, and listened carefully to Rong Xi's continuation.

"Compared to children, the third brother is literate and obsessed with it. Teaching him the algorithm will be even more effective."

Qin Ke took out a stack of manuscripts from the hidden drawer, and saw the dense pencil writing on it, which made him feel distressed.

"You go to and from the workshop every day, and you write calculation problems at night, it is too hard."

In the past few days, Rong Xi lost a little weight again, and his chin became more angular.

The juvenile and childishness has gradually disappeared, and the outline of youth has become more and more obvious.

Qin Ke's massage skills are really superb, Rong Xi was drowsy, even if he heard Qin Ke's words clearly, he was unable to answer, he only hummed a few times, and fell asleep.

Prince Qin had no choice but to quietly admire his sleeping face for a moment, then picked him up by the waist, and walked to the bedroom.

The shadow of the candle flickered, Rong Xi suddenly seemed to be standing in Rong's courtyard.

Liu Zishi suddenly came over with his clothes in his hands, with a strange smile, "Mr., please change your clothes."

"Zi Shi, why is the color of the clothes vermilion?" Rong Xi asked in amazement, and took a few steps back.

Liu Zishi's expression suddenly changed, vicious and cruel.

"Lang Jun, you are getting married today, please change your clothes."

With great strength, he trapped Rong Xi, forcibly took off Rong Xi's coat, and put on the bridegroom's clothes. The clothes were vermilion like blood, and Rong Xi was terrified.

"I'm not married! I'm not married!"

The dream suddenly dissipated, and Rong Xi sat up suddenly, sweating profusely all over his body.

Qin Ke was about to leave, when he saw him awakened by the nightmare, he hurriedly comforted him: "It's a dream, don't be afraid."

"I dreamed that someone forced me into marriage."

Thinking of the scene in the dream just now, Rong Xi felt lingering fear.

Qin Ke was slightly stunned, and then comforted in a soft voice: "I have ordered someone to operate, and the matter of Rong's marriage for you will definitely be put on hold."

Rong Xi nodded, calmed down and asked with a smile, "How do you operate?"

There must be many dirty and dark things in the rich and powerful family. I don't know how Qin Ke will intervene.

Qin Ke felt that his hands and feet were cold, so he took off his shoes and got on the couch, holding him in his arms.

He is a martial arts practitioner, and his body is full of heat. To Rong Xi, he is like a heat source.

"Zhou Jiaqilang has been naughty since he was a child. Because of his parents' love and affection, he has caused troubles and troubles. He committed crimes when he was young, but he made small troubles and became more and more rampant when he became an adult."

Rong Xi was attracted by what he said, quickly raised his head and asked, "What did he do?"

Qin Ke raised his lips and pointed to his own cheek, with obvious intentions.

How can Rong Xi refuse an invitation from a beauty?Without hesitation, Rong Xi gave him a resounding kiss on the cheek.

Qin Ke was very satisfied, and continued: "He had a dispute with a scholar, and in anger, he crippled the scholar's legs."

"Being like this should be punished by prison!" Rong Xi said in a deep voice.

Qin Ke nodded, "However, the power exceeds the law, Zhou Qilang has not been punished, and all must go home."

The Zhou family is the family of Rong Xi's stepmother.Zhou Qilang is the son of the Zhou family's direct elder brother. If he is punished, the Zhou family will definitely not sit idly by.

However, the highest official rank of the Zhou family is no more than the fifth rank, how can they shake the law?

The Zhou clan then turned to the Rong Zhou clan for help.

Rong Weijing is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, in charge of officials' evaluation, promotion and other matters. He has a lot of power, so someone will sell his face.

The Rong Zhou family concealed Rong Weijing and used his prestige to treat the interrogating officials with grace and power, so Zhou Qilang was exempted from punishment.

The scholar's legs were crippled, and he had nowhere to ask for help.

After Qin Ke said that, seeing Rong Xi's angry expression, he quickly patted his back and said soothingly, "Don't be upset. I have sent people to search for evidence to seek justice for that scholar."

"Si Zhi, fortunate to have you." Rong Xi held him tighter and asked again, "Can the scholar's legs be healed?"

"No." Qin Ke shook his head.

Chen Chuangu still stayed in Shengjing, and after getting a letter from Qin Ke, he went to see and treat him personally, but the scholar's legs were completely paralyzed and could not be cured.

What a pity.

A few days later, when the imperial censor was in court, he impeached Rong Weijing, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and accused him of ignoring the law, oppressing people with power, and shielding criminals.

Rong Weijing was quite at a loss, completely unaware of what the censor was talking about.

He has always been cautious, as a minister of the Ministry of Officials, I don't know how many people gave him gifts openly and secretly, but he refused them all, and he has always been innocent.

The censor said to cover up, what happened!

After the Yushi reprimanded him, he reported that the Ming scholar was persecuted by Zhou Qilang. After hearing this, the emperor sighed in his heart and asked, "Zhou Qilang really didn't receive any punishment?"

The censor had a righteous face, "Return to Your Majesty, everything I said is true."

"Rong Weijing, what do you have to say?" The emperor's expression darkened.

How can the people be stable when the country is lawless?

Rong Weijing knelt down, trembling slightly, said: "Your Majesty, I don't know about this matter, please Your Majesty look into it."

He suddenly remembered that his wife seemed to have indeed mentioned this matter to him, but after being rejected by him, she never mentioned it again.

Could it be that Madam did it?

The emperor thought that he was conscientious in his official duties, and that it was impossible to easily convict him with a book of ministers, so he ordered people to investigate the matter thoroughly.

As for Rong Weijing, he will stay at home for a few days and wait for the truth to come out before making a decision.

Rong Weijing's heart sank, if someone really took advantage of the prestige of the Shangshu to do such things that disregarded the law, no matter whether it was his intention or not, he would not be able to get rid of it!

He returned home dizzy, and when he saw Rong Zhou greeted him with a smile on his face, he managed to suppress the anger in his chest.

"Sanlang, why did you return home so early today?"

When working in the public office, if there is no special reason, you will be impeached for being late or leaving early. Rong Weijing has been an official for many years and has never made such a bad mistake.

So Zhou asked curiously.

Rong Weijing felt wronged.

He obviously didn't do anything, but was severely impeached by the censor, he was quite innocent.

"Frankly speaking, why was Zhou Qilang acquitted?"

Rong Zhou's complexion suddenly changed, "Sanlang, what happened?"

Rong Weijing stared at her without saying a word, his anger was hidden in his eyes, just waiting to explode.

"I don't know, Saburo, if you didn't agree that day, I refused brother." Rong Zhou was about to cry, but he didn't admit it.

Rong Weijing stared at her closely, "My reputation cannot be burdened by your mother's family."

Even if the Rong Zhou family really didn't know about this, but the Zhou family was related to her, and the Zhou family members used the name of Shangshu without authorization to do things that violated the law, the Rong Zhou family must be held accountable.

"Sanlang, I'm going to find my brother and sister-in-law to find out!"

Rong Weijing suffered this disaster, and everyone was watching.The matter of talking about marriage is naturally nothing.

Just when Rong Weijing was in a state of desperation, the matter finally "revealed the truth".

The Zhou family took the responsibility, saying that they were obsessed with ghosts, hurt Shangshu Qingyu, and sent Zhou Qilang to prison with their own hands.

Rong Wei respectfully returned to the public office.

But after this incident, Rong Weijing treated Rong Zhou no longer as gentle as before, and stayed in his concubine's room for several days.

Rong Zhou was so anxious, how could he have the energy to interfere with Rong Xi's marriage?

After learning the news, Rong Xi hugged Qin Ke and kissed him several times as a reward.

After breakfast, Liu Zishi led Rong Xi and Qin Ke out of the house as usual.

Rong Xi was in a very relieved mood, and his face was rarely pleasant, "Zi Shi, spring is approaching, you go to the city to buy some cloth today, and when you come back, ask some ladies to make new clothes."

"Okay!" Liu Zishi responded happily.

A few days ago, Mr. Lang didn't know why, but kept avoiding him for fear of being too late. He was sad for a long time, but Mr. Lang finally smiled at him today!

Rong Xi and Qin Ke rode side by side.

It's February, the rivers are thawing, and the willows are sprouting.

Beside the river bank, all the ladies are washing their clothes and beating, and the children are playing and playing. It is a scene of harmony in spring.

"Sizhi, do you know that when the fields are far away from the river, how do farmers transport water when they are waiting for irrigation?"

Rong Xi suddenly asked him a question.

Qin Ke raised his eyes and saw that the farmland was connected to one another. If it was far away from the river bank, irrigation would be extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive.

"The farmer carries the water to water the crops."

Rong Xi smiled and said: "I have a method to solve this matter, but this method is not a small project, and requires a lot of fighting."

He told Qin Ke how to divide the canal.

In fact, the method of dividing the canals has long existed. However, the canals used to be made of soil walls. When the water passed through the canals, a little seeped into the soil, resulting in a decrease in the amount of water, and the ditches were easy to block and difficult to dredge.

If the channel is built with cement, the river will rush in without obstruction, and dredging will be very convenient, and the effect will be a hundred times better than that of the earth wall.

"This method is really good," Qin Ke nodded, "Spring plowing is coming soon, you and I will go to discuss with Shen Yi first before going to the workshop."

The Great Wei is based on agriculture, if it is possible to build farmland and benefit things, Shen Yi will not be too happy, and will not refuse at all.

Hearing Rong Xi's words, Shen Yi's heart was beating wildly, and after a few words of praise, he came back rationally.

"Although Mr. Rong's method can solve the urgent irrigation needs of farmers, building ditches is a major task, and the county has insufficient financial resources or cannot support it."

This statement is true.

"No problem, just report this matter to the imperial court, and the imperial court will allocate funds at that time."

Qin Ke gave him a reassurance.

Regarding agriculture, the imperial court will definitely pay attention to it.

Shen Yi repeatedly nodded, Mengshan is protected by the God of War, it is the blessing of the people of Mengshan!

However, all of this happened because of Rong Dalang.

Leaving the county office, the two went to the workshop. After seeing Cheng Hao, Cheng Hao was very excited.

"The workshop will be completed soon, and Dalang will not be idle in the future."

Rong Xi replied with a smile: "It's my good fortune to be able to do my little bit for the imperial court."

"Haha, wouldn't I be extremely ashamed if Dalang's ability is only meager?" Cheng Hao teased him and asked, "Recently, the kiln workers seem to be firing new glassware. What does Dalang want to make?"

Rong Xi confessed: "The kettle can keep hot water day and night."

"Use glass?" Cheng Hao didn't believe it.

"Glass is only one of the raw materials. After it is made, Uncle Cheng can test it himself."

There are some things that can only be believed by witnessing with one's own eyes, Rong Xi does not want to explain more.

Cheng Hao smiled heartily, he didn't believe Rong Xi, but just couldn't believe it.

After staying in the workshop until about [-]:[-], Rong Xi and Qin Ke returned together.

As soon as he entered the front yard, he saw Jin Jili galloping towards him with a big smile, as if he was on a happy occasion.

"Lang Jun!"

His blue eyes were filled with the three big words "Quickly praise me".

"What happened?" he asked with a smile.

At this time, Liu Zishi chased after him and explained to Rong Xi: "A boy fell into the water today, luckily he was good at swimming, and rescued the boy in time."

"It's very good to be brave in the face of righteousness." Rong Xi gave a thumbs up.

Jin Jili's hair color became more and more dazzling.

"The spring is cold and the water is cool, drink some ginger soup."

"Lang Jun, Ah Weng has persuaded him to drink a bowl, haha." Liu Zishi gloated.

Jin Jili immediately shook his head aggrieved, he hates ginger soup!

After dinner, Rong Xi went to the study, intending to describe the ditches, waterwheels, treadmills and other things on paper for Shen Yi's reference.

But he saw Rong Mo following behind him.

"Third brother, have you read this book?"

He was a little surprised when he took the arithmetic textbook returned by Rong Mo.

Rong Sanlang still didn't say a word, but stared at Rong Xi with a pair of big eyes. He looked dull on the surface, but he seemed to be deeply buried in a hot emotion.

Rong Xi led him to the case, and took out a few sheets of paper, all of which were arithmetic problems.

"This is thirty math problems. If you can solve all of them, I will give you a new book."

Rong Mo quickly took it, and after bowing to salute, he stepped out of the study with a rather eager footstep.

I thought it would take at least tomorrow for Rong Mo to solve these thirty questions.

Unexpectedly, within an hour, Rong Sanlang carried the manuscript paper to Rong Xi's study and delivered the answer.

At that time, Qin Ke was pinching Rong Xi's leg.

Rong Mo didn't seem to see Qin Ke, only Rong Xi was in his eyes.

Rong Xi looked through the answers and saw that there was no mistake. He was very pleasantly surprised and praised with a smile: "The third brother is very talented, very good."

After saying that, he improvised another question, although it was within the scope of the book, it was more complicated and subtle.

When Rong Sanlang got the question, he had no time to pay attention to etiquette, his eyes were bright, he sat on the floor, held a pencil and began to answer the question.

After the case, Qin Ke lightly pinched Rong Xi's hand and asked in a low voice, "Happy?"

"Yeah!" Rong Xi nodded fiercely, anyone who found a good seedling couldn't help but be happy.

Seeing the joy in his eyebrows, Qin Ke's heart became softer, and Rong Lan's heart was happy, so he was also happy.

After a while, Rong Mo suddenly stopped writing, got up quickly, put the paper on the table, and asked Rong Xi to have a look.

Rong Xi looked at his problem-solving ideas carefully and became more and more satisfied.

He got up and took a brand new book from the bookshelf, and handed it to Rong Mo.

"Third brother, if you have any doubts, you can come to me. If you don't want to talk, a note is fine."

To gifted boys, Rong Xi has always been as gentle as a spring breeze.

Rong Mo took the book, bowed deeply again, then hugged the precious book, and went back to the room to study it carefully.

A few days later, the kettle was made.

The raw materials are only glass, mercury, cork, and shell. Although it seems simple, it is quite difficult to fire at the beginning.

But if there is one, there are two.

Kiln workers have known experience, and their skills will only become more proficient.

When the thermos pot came out, Cheng Hao tried it out first.He poured hot water into the pot, tightened the cork, let it stand for a day and night, and then poured out the water.

The water in the cup is warm to the touch.

"Da Lang," Cheng Hao said excitedly, patting his shoulder hard, "it really can keep warm!"

Qin Ke was expressionless, stretched out his hand and waved his thick arm away, gave him a cold look, and then asked Rong Xi: "Are you all right?"

Someone Cheng didn't know the seriousness, how could Lan bear it?

Before Rong Xi answered, Cheng Hao didn't understand, and asked, "Could it be that Da Lang has an injury on his shoulder? That's really my fault!"

"Uncle Cheng, I don't have any injuries on my shoulder." Rong Xi changed the subject helplessly, "The workshop will be completed in just a few days. I wonder how Uncle Cheng will distribute the craftsmen then?"

Armament Supervisor, as the name suggests, is a place where military weapons are manufactured.This is a court secret and cannot be easily known to outsiders.

The chosen craftsman must be trustworthy.

"Da Lang, don't worry, the king of the county and I have an agreement on this matter, and Xiaoxiao will definitely not make trouble." Cheng Hao replied sullenly.

Rong Xi nodded, "In that case, there is Uncle Cheng."

"You don't need to be polite, Da Lang, how about this kettle for me?" Cheng Hao asked brazenly.

Rong Xi smiled and said, "This is for Uncle Cheng."

A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly said: "Uncle Cheng, since the construction of the Military Weapons Supervision, all funds have been allocated by the Ministry of Accounting, which has cost a lot of money. If we rely on the Ministry of Accounting in the future, we will be restrained."

What he said was also something Cheng Hao worried about.

"If Da Lang has an idea, you might as well tell me." Cheng Hao couldn't wait.

Seeing that Qin Ke was also interested, Rong Xi said, "The kiln workers in the workshop are all inspectors of military equipment, aren't they?"

The two nodded.

"Since that's the case, the kettle is made by the kiln workers in the workshop, so it can be traded with the people in the name of the Military Weapons Supervisor, and exchanged for some money and silk for the Military Weapons Supervisor's needs."

Cheng Hao couldn't help looking at Qin Ke, "What does the king think?"

"No one in the Military Weapons Supervisor is good at the way of merchants, how can it be easy for the common people?" Qin Ke frowned and asked.

Rong Xi replied with a smile: "Although it is in the name of a military weapon supervisor, you can entrust merchants to act. After making a profit, you can share [-]% of the profit, and the remaining [-]%. .”

If the Military Weapons Supervisor wants to make money alone, the imperial court will definitely not allow it, but if it can fill the treasury, why not the imperial court?

Qin Ke's eyes were extremely soft, and he raised his lips and said with a smile: "What Da Lang said, I will honor the Holy One."

Cheng Hao said that with Prince Qin around, he didn't need to worry about this matter.

The author has something to say:

After Rong Xi had a dream, he hid when he saw Liu Zishi.

Liu Zishi: (covering his face and crying loudly) What did the servant do wrong?woo woo woo.
