An old lady's life

In March, the spring is bright and beautiful. Although it is still cool in the morning and evening, after the sun comes out, it shines on people warmly, making people feel warm from the inside out.

At noon, Hong Ye was basking in the sun on the porch, and the voices of her grandchildren could be heard outside the courtyard. Jia Lian still liked to argue with Jia Zhu, and he never tired of it. Whenever this happened, Jia Hu's face was full of helplessness.

Jia Lian took a step ahead of his elder brothers and ran to grandma in twos and twos, shaking her arm, and said, "Grandma, sir, take us out to sketch in the afternoon."

Hong Ye opened her eyes and said with a smile: "Then go, Lian'er wants to draw a beautiful picture for grandma."

Jia Lian immediately patted his small chest and said solemnly: "Okay, Lian'er will draw well."

In spring, all kinds of flowers are blooming, various flower gardens in Beijing are open, and there are endless tourists. Mr. An plans to take the students out to gain insights. There is a saying that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. Mister did.

A smile flashed across Jia Hu's eyes. He still remembered that Lian'er was very afraid of his grandmother before, but as he grew up, that strange hostility disappeared, which made people laugh.

Jia Zhu hurriedly said: "Grandma, I want to draw too. I promise I can draw better than Xiaosan."

Jia Lian opened his mouth and glared at Jia Zhu angrily, "Second brother, you're picking up people's teeth."

The two brothers were arguing, and Hongye and Jia Hu watched. After a while, Hongye reached out and pulled Jia Hu closer to her, asking him if he had any problems with his studies and health recently.

Until lunch was set up in the side hall, the argument between the two brothers was not over yet, and they even had to fight to see who ate more.

In the end, Hong Ye rubbed Jia Lian's belly, and said with a serious face, "Lian'er, do you know what it means to overestimate one's strength?"

Jia Lian drooped her eyes and muttered, "Grandmother, Lian'er knows I was wrong, but I am younger than my second brother, and I will definitely be better than my second brother in the future."

Hongye nodded his nose: "It's good to know, not to mention what will happen to your second brother if you win? So what if you lose?"

After Hongye woke up to take a nap, she learned from the maid that Mr. An had already left with three children. Hongye was a little bored, and the sun was hot, so she really wanted to take a walk.

So Hongye asked the servant girl to go to the west courtyard to bring Sister Shan over, and she took her granddaughter to go shopping, followed by two servant girls and a few servants from the outer gate.

The sun is good, there are countless pedestrians on the street, Sister Shan is very happy.

"Grandmother, Huahua." I saw a flower shop on the street, and the flower pots were placed outside the flower shop. Although it affected the passers-by, everyone couldn't help but look into the flower shop when they passed by. Variety of floral fragrances.

Hongye nodded: "Well, Huahua, beautiful flowers." She turned her head and glanced at the two maidservants, "You go shopping nearby, if you have anything you want to buy, just buy it."

Amber and Yuanyang gave a blessing, and then ran to the opposite shops, there were cloth shops, rouge and gouache shops, and jewelry shops. Seeing this, Hongye shook her head amusedly, thinking that the nature of women has not changed since ancient times.

The people shopping on the street are all young men and women, and there are very few old women. Hongye stands among them, which is particularly eye-catching.

Since the massacre of the Feng family years ago, the dandies in this street have become extraordinarily refined, and the previous behavior of molesting girls from good families has almost disappeared.

Hongye saw a group of eight or nine teenagers, carrying a bird cage or a dog on a leash, heading in a certain direction.

Hongye shook her head, these little guys only know how to play, such a good time, if they don't use it to learn something useful, they can only eat and wait to die in the future.

Hongye originally wanted to meet Jia Hu and the others by chance, but she found that the garden where Jia Hu and the others went was still some distance away, so she wanted to walk there, saying that the encounter was a bit far-fetched, so she didn't bother.

I went shopping this afternoon, bought a lot of gadgets, had everything I wanted to eat, drink, and play.

On the contrary, Sister Shan was very happy. When she returned to the mansion, she excitedly told her mother what she had seen and heard in the afternoon. Unfortunately, she didn't speak very fluently. She spoke so fast that no one could understand her.

But Mrs. Wang was very happy to hear it, and kept smiling and praising: "Sister Shan is really amazing!"

Sister Shan's face was flushed with a smile, and when Mrs. Zhang hugged her, she didn't cry or make a fuss, "Auntie, here." Then she took out a red petal from her purse.

Mrs. Zhang burst into laughter immediately, and rubbed against Sister Shan: "Sister Shan is so kind."

Wang's eyes widened and said: "Sister Shan, where did you come from?"

Sister Shan opened her big eyes and looked at her mother with some doubts. It took a long time before she reluctantly took out another red petal from her purse.Mrs. Wang took Sister Shan's purse and saw that it was full of colorful petals, and immediately laughed.

Hongye naturally noticed Sister Shan's actions before, but she didn't care about her. The purse at her waist was used to hold pastries. She ate the pastries, and then she picked beautiful petals and put them in.

The days went on in such a leisurely way until the end of March, when Jia Zheng came back from get off work with a happy expression on his face.

Looking at him like that, Hongye knew that their team's research and development work had made new progress. She also knew that their team was researching glass and springs.

In fact, Dafeng has always had glass and springs, but the glass is very miscellaneous and opaque, not as pure as the ones made by foreigners, nor can they be made into large pieces.The spring can only be used for bows/crossbows, etc., and the elasticity is not the greatest. After Hongye beat the side drum from time to time, Jia Zheng and his team were finally able to produce the maximum spring. Although it cannot be compared with modern times, it can be used on carriages. It can still play most of the shock absorption function.

The first thing Jia Zheng did was to change a carriage every day to Qianshan Workshop, and let the craftsmen disassemble and reassemble the carriage, and install springs under the carriage.

Seeing this, Hongye couldn't help laughing.

I have experience in cement, and Qianshan Workshop has researched a lot of items in the past year or so, so the improvement of springs is not a big sensation.

Jia Zheng and other craftsmen installed springs on Emperor Changping’s imperial carriage. Emperor Changping tested it himself and found that the carriage was indeed much more stable than before. It's uncomfortably bumpy.

However, this spring has a limited service life, at most one year, and must be replaced.

The emperor demonstrated in person, and the merchants from the horse-drawn carriage shop heard the news. Jia Zheng did not participate in the negotiations with the merchants, and all matters were handed over to the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Minister of the Ministry of Households now especially likes the Ministry of Industry, because the Ministry of Industry has brought him income, unlike before, where he only went in and out, and now the income brought by the Ministry of Industry to the Ministry of Households is gradually increasing. As the purse of the country of Dafeng, Mr. He I like the fact that the Ministry of Industry has researched more and more things that benefit the people. Seeing the advent of cement, the roads have become smoother. Even if they go out in rainy days, they will not get their shoes and pants wet like before. The more the better.

After the Ministry of Industry received the funds allocated by the Ministry of Households, the Secretary of the Ministry of Industry immediately allocated half of it to Jia Zheng and his team as research funds. After the patent fee was transferred to the account of the Ministry of Industry, half of it was also allocated to them.

The two officials who came to the Ministry of Industry with Jia Zheng were jealous and had nothing to do about it. They also wanted to follow Jia Zheng's example. Unfortunately, after two days in Qianshan Workshop, they couldn't stay anymore. Now they have I gave up this path, and I plan to make some plans and transfer next year.

A person can find his own position and work hard for it. This is Jia Zheng's current state.After working for a period of time, Jia Zheng and the craftsmen planned to rest for a period of time. The mother said that the rest was for walking a longer distance.

So Hongye decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather to go to Zhuangzi to play, and asked Mr. An for five days off. She planned to take her grandchildren to go to Zhuangzi to play.

Jia Amnesty and the Zhang family stayed at home, and Jia Zheng sent his mother there in person, so the Wang family could also travel.

Hongye made a selection, and deliberately chose Liangwu Mountain, fifty miles away in the western suburbs. Liangwu Mountain, as the name suggests, has two peaks, one large and one small. Chuanhe.

Jia She was a little unhappy, and let his younger brother focus on the front, which made Jia She very annoyed, but he couldn't travel, so he had to watch his mother and younger brother travel helplessly.

But before going to bed, Jia Amnesty specifically confessed that his two sons would take good care of and protect his grandmother on his behalf. He couldn't say anything more, and his son couldn't understand.

Mrs. Zhang listened and smiled helplessly, but she didn't point it out.

The couple watched their son fall asleep before returning to the bedroom.

The next day, Jia Amnesty went to work early in the morning, so only Mrs. Zhang sent Hongye and his party off.

Mrs. Zhang didn't have any special ideas. She was not reluctant to take her son out to play with her mother-in-law, not to mention that it was only a few days. It would not be a bad idea to let her son go out to see different scenery.

The carriage was improved, and the official road was also paved with cement, so the road ahead was extraordinarily flat. Jia Hu, Jia Zhu, and Jia Lian rode in a car with their grandmother, Jia Zheng and Wang rode in a car with Sister Shan in their arms, and others The maid and the guards took several other carriages, a total of five carriages galloped on the flat and wide avenue.

Out of the sight of the capital, the green hills on both sides of the official road are green, the flowers are red and the water is clear. After the sun came out, everyone lifted the curtains, and the three children pointed at the receding scenery and made shocking voices.

"Wow, does that tree look like an old man who is thinking?" Everyone looked in the direction pointed by Jia Zhu. There was no "old man" who was thinking, but only a small hillside.

But Jia Zhu was not annoyed, and continued to point out the scenery outside with his elder brother and younger brother to use their imagination.

There were laughter and laughter all the way. After driving for an hour, the carriage turned into a dirt road. The road was difficult, so the speed of the carriage slowed down. After another half an hour, it finally arrived at the gate of Wushan Villa.
