Siheyuan: I have broken space

I don’t know what Jia Mu thinks. It’s as if such a big feud with the Lin family never happened.

This time, I said I wanted to explain it clearly to the Lin family, but in fact I just sent a few women to bring a letter.

The letter was quite sincere, but there was no hint of repentance in his actions.

Lin Ruhai really didn't understand how the Jia family could become like this.

When he was in the capital, the rules of the Jia family were not only better than those of a scholarly family, but they were also considered good among nobles.

Why is my life now a joke in other people's mouths?

Once again, he clearly rejected the people sent by Jia Mu, saying only that he had official business.

This is obviously an excuse.

What kind of official duties could Lin Ruhai have on the night of the Lantern Festival?

Lin Ruhai actually didn't bother to find a reason. The reason was because Jia Yuanchun was the emperor's concubine and couldn't be too disrespectful to her.

After the renovation of the provincial villa was completed, King Zhongshun had some time to spare. Matters such as glass and wool were regulated, so he did not need to worry too much.

During this period, Wang Tingxuan was entangled by King Zhongshun again.

It was okay for a short time, but over time, Wang Tingxuan couldn't stand it.

It seems like I still need to find something for him to do.

what to do.

In fact, Wang Tingxuan had a plan to bring out the best building materials.

That's right, that's cement.

Just building a villa for relatives can be used a lot.

But then I thought about it, the emperor would not give priority to using this kind of thing in the construction of provincial villas.

More importantly, he couldn't come up with the complete formula at once, which would make it difficult to explain the origin of the formula.

The incomplete formula still requires experimentation by craftsmen.

In addition, problems such as production volume at the beginning were difficult to solve.

Therefore, it was not taken out at that time.

Now, it can only be used to send King Zhongshun away.

"Your Majesty, I have figured out a formula for making glass. Since glass can be made from sand and stone, can it also be used to make other things?"

After hearing this, King Zhongshun suddenly said, "Yes, maybe it's really possible. Do you have any ideas?"

Wang Tingxuan said: "I thought that when we usually build city walls, the dams use glutinous rice lime mortar. The cost is too high and the construction time is too long."

"I was wondering if I could use other things instead. My idea is to use limestone, clay, iron ore powder and other things, grind them into powder, and calcine them to see if the burned things can be used."

King Zhongshun asked in confusion: "What is burned is all powder. How can we make building materials?"

Wang Tingxuan said: "How does flour become steamed buns? Flour is not terrible. We can use gypsum or other materials to make it solid."

"If you say so, you can give it a try."

King Zhongshun did not hesitate and said: "Let's do it. It just takes some time and materials. If it really succeeds, it will not only benefit the country and the people, but also make those parents-in-law who are provincial relatives angry."

Wang Tingxuan said to her heart, how much do you hate the four kings and eight princes, and you are always thinking of cheating them.

Afterwards, King Zhongshun became busy again.

Wang Tingxuan assisted and indirectly provided some suggestions.

For example, the proportion of raw materials, the temperature of calcination, etc., all need to be tested by craftsmen.

This time, as before, King Zhongshun made a promise that anyone who made achievements would be rewarded heavily.

In addition to gold and silver, King Zhongshun also promised to help them get rid of their identity as craftsmen and then serve as stewards in new workshops.

Because there are examples of glass and wool, the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of the craftsmen cannot be stopped at all, and they are experimenting almost all the time.

The Jia family is still following the original trajectory.

The emperor couldn't stand the four princes and eight princes, so he acquiesced in King Zhongshun's troubles in building a villa for the relatives, but he would not allow him to bother with the matter of the relatives.

After all, this is about the royal family's face.

King Zhongshun was busy with cement matters and had no intention of intervening.

But just because King Zhongshun stopped fussing, it didn't mean that the mother-in-law's family would be able to relax.

From the eighth day of the first lunar month, the Jia family had no time to spare.

When the empress leaves the palace, there are rules: where to go, where to stop, where to receive gifts, where to have a banquet, where to change clothes, etc.

King Zhongshun was wasting money, but those little eunuchs were wasting their lives.

The Jia family is currently having a hard time at home, so they have to be simple and economical in everything they do.

Everything can be simplified, except for the little eunuch who works.

If you don't give away enough money, a few random picks and picks can cost half of a family's life.

Even if the Jia family knows this, they still can't tell it. They are doing serious errands and their requirements are strict. Isn't it just for the sake of the empress?

Jia's mother is so old and enjoys happiness all day long. She can't bear it for just one day.

"Well, there is no need for our family to cause any trouble to my mother-in-law just for some money. Since the money given to them is not satisfactory, then let's give it to them to satisfy them."

Enjoy a lifetime of happiness, and see that your family is about to get up again, so you can't close your eyes at this time.

The hall was quiet and no one answered.

Jia Lian had no choice but to say: "I have given away 10,000 taels today. But it is still a few days before the Queen's wedding, and the family does not have that much money."

Everyone felt uncomfortable for a while.

Not only Jia Mu couldn't bear the pain, but other people couldn't bear it either. If you make a mistake, you have to start over. If you don't give money, they won't give you time to rest, and you have to go back early to deliver your work.

But no one expected that they would take out 10,000 taels on the first day.

This is the glory of the Jia family. All the clan members in Beijing want to show their faces in front of the empress, so there are many people participating.

The clan members from the side branches started to murmur privately: "Will our mother-in-law be favored in the palace?"

That’s right!

If you really want to be favored, you don't dare to torment people like this.

They went out to inquire around and found that although other families had been tortured a lot, they were not as severe as the Jia family.

Who on earth wants to trouble their family?

I wanted to find someone to ask, but found that I couldn't find anyone with any weight at all.

The two most important in-laws of the Jia family did not come over.

Mrs. Wang calculated in her mind that the imperial edict only mentioned the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and did not mention the time of the wedding. If the empress could live at home for a period of time, it would cost a lot of money.

If you are reluctant to part with this money, you must find a way to solve this problem.

Mrs. Wang suggested: "Can you find someone you can talk to and ask for our family?"

This is a good method, but there is another problem with who to find.

The first thing Jia Mu thought of was Lin Ruhai. He was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and could speak well in front of the emperor.

But the Jia family simply couldn't count on Lin Ruhai.

After much deliberation, there is no other way. I can only ask Princess Nan'an.

Although Jia's mother is a top-notch Duke's wife, she really doesn't have much face in the palace. The Queen Mother and the Empress don't want to see them, and the only one they can count on is Concubine Zhen in the palace.

But at this time, they couldn't openly see Concubine Zhen. Wouldn't this make the Queen Mother uncomfortable?

The fighting skills of the Jia family's inner house were all lit up, and they also realized that they could not directly ask Concubine Zhen, at least openly the Jia family could not come forward.

The queen scolded the young eunuchs calmly, and the matter was over.

The Jia family was afraid of offending others, so they finally paid another thirty thousand taels of silver to the young eunuchs who were doing things.

The Queen said angrily: "They were the ones who made the fuss, and they were the ones who gave the money. In that case, why bother to make the fuss in the first place?"
