Chapter 78 Happy

"Huan'er, your grandfather and grandmother passed away early, and I was sent to the old lady to be a little girl early. At that time, it was all up to your uncle to help you, and your uncle and I were not bullied.

The little girl is different from the first-class girl around the old lady. At that time, when her son and the little girl were sick, she had to hire a doctor to see her. If she didn't think she was good, she wouldn't go into the room to do things. When my mother was young, she was weak and she had to get sick several times a month. It was not enough to buy all the monthly money for the entire medicine. It was all your uncle who could do it. Only then could she please some medicines and decoct the medicine in the mansion. Only then could she get better.”

Jia Huan listened to Aunt Zhao’s nagging about her childhood, not only was she not moved, but she also found it funny, saying, “Mom, you are grateful to me until now? He is so good at doing things, so he can’t buy some good medicine?”

Aunt Zhao raised her eyebrows and shouted, "You know what's the matter! Is that ordinary medicine? Is it the ginseng mozi, or the old ginseng that has been over a hundred years old! Without these, how could my mother live today?"

As he said that, he lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Don't you know that when the old lady chose a concubine for the master, she actually had to choose from a few girls. My mother was not there. It was your uncle who spent a lot of money to bribe Ma Lai, who was close to the old lady. He deliberately praised her mother in front of the old lady, and then she had a mother today."

Upon hearing this, Jia Huan narrowed his eyes and nodded slowly. His face was bright and there was no smile in his eyes. He said, "Okay, it's such a good thing... Then, if you want to recognize me, you should recognize me, but don't force me to recognize me. He gave you medicine residue, but never gave me kindness. Not only did he not give me kindness, but he also hurts... Not to mention this, in short, he can't be my uncle in love and courtesy, especially politeness. When he comes the day after tomorrow, I will talk to him, but at that time, mom, don't say that he will pick up his uncle's airs, otherwise he will be the one who won't come down in the end."

Aunt Zhao was very angry and said, "What does it mean to give me kindness to you but not to give me kindness? He saved my mother's life, didn't he save your life? Besides, if he hadn't given a gift, my mother wouldn't have you!"

Jia Huan smiled and said, "He used my Jia family's things to save my mother's life, and then gave her mother to someone to be a concubine... Well, even if the concubines of a wealthy family are more glamorous than the housewife of a small family, he has made a contribution to Qian Qi, but over the years he has used the reputation of my Rongguo Mansion to do pawnshops outside and made a lot of money. Isn't this love enough? Should I pay it off?

Okay, mom, just do what I said. If you continue talking, you will change to become a girl... I still have something to do here, I probably won't come back for dinner at night. The construction site in front is tight, and I have to do my homework with Grandpa Jiao tonight. I'm leaving..."

Aunt Zhao didn't say anything, and looked at Jia Huan blankly before she let out a long sigh and sighed: "How come this flash of kung fu feels like she has grown up?"

Xiao Jixiang was spinning with big eyes on the side, and he was also moving around while standing there. He couldn't stand steadily. After seeing him, Aunt Zhao smiled and scolded, "Go and go, get out quickly. Little sway hooves are so big. Before the yellow hair has been replaced, she just wants to be an aunt! I have never seen anyone more wild than you, let alone you go wild with that bastard."

Xiao Jixiang was not annoyed, and smiled, his face full of peach blossoms, and he jumped to defend himself: "Auntie, I'm going to help you watch the third master, be careful not to be deceived by Bai He's little vixen!"

Bai He has slender eyes, slightly raised corners of her eyes, very beautiful and charming, but Xiao Jixiang has a wise eye, thinking that she looks like a vixen, not a good person.

Aunt Zhao said angrily: "Go, go and watch your third master. You are crazy all day and night. How long has it been since you left the mansion? You are a good young man. Now you are almost the same as the children of the village household. You are so dark..."

After watching Xiao Jixiang jump and run out, Aunt Zhao smiled twice and said to Xiaoque: "I said you should think of a way too, don't let Brother Huan see you all day long, you are not a nose or a eye. Why did you offend him? If you insist that you are a traitor, why are you still in Huan's house and your heart is in a jade-like state, and you are not shitty."

Xiaoque was almost crying and said, "I don't know what's going on. I went to ask Xiren to help me. I wanted to ask her to think of a way to help me. Can I not let my aunt and the third master go to the village? Xiren is very valued by the wife and the old lady, and Master Bao is willing to listen to her words.

But he didn't expect that it would be heard by the Third Master, and he became a slave who was restless and wanted to work in Bao Erye's room. Bao Erye's room... Does Bao Erye have his own room now? He lives with the old lady. Even Xiren is still the old lady's maid. How could I have such an idea? It's really... I'm really unjust and died unjustly."

Aunt Zhao said with a funny look: "Okay, Brother Huan is now smart or confused, but he always thinks he is very capable and even I dare to scold him... But it's fine, no matter whether it's right or not, being able to start a business and making ideas is better than the incompetent cord. Don't be wronged, learn more about Xiao Jixiang. This girl, hey, she really has the style of my mother back then!"

...

"Oh, Xiaohe, why did you do it yourself? Let me see if your hands are worn out?"

Jia Huan didn't care about the group of craftsmen around him. When he saw Bai He stirring the cement there, he immediately trotted all the way, grabbed Bai He's hand like a charge, and felt disgusting.

Although she has been together for more than half a month and has begun to get used to Jia Huan's tricks, Bai He still blushed in front of so many people, trying to break free from Jia Huan's little claws.

Most of the others looked at the two of them with a funny look on their faces and were mixed with relief. Jia Huan later learned that this wave of craftsmen basically studied under one master, Bai He's father.

So they were very concerned about Bai He, the junior sister, and they were very happy to see that she had a better home.

Everyone was disgusted for a while when they saw Jia Huan, and it was not until Xiao Jixiang came and said "hmm" twice that they began to talk about the serious matters.

"This material is already very surprising, beyond everyone's imagination, and as the grinding level increases, the effect becomes more and more excellent. The biggest problem now is grinding. The raw material can also be crushed with a stone hammer as much as possible, but it is difficult to grind the clinker after calcination into powder. However, we are also thinking of a solution recently and have a little idea, which is..."

Bai He explained to Jia Huan very seriously and in detail. Jia Huan interrupted: "To put it roughly, it's too professional. Our professionalism is not very good."

Although I don’t understand what professionalism is, Bai He roughly understood the meaning of the words, and she gave an example vividly: “Just like the stone mill that grinds flour in a mill, you can use livestock to pull it to grind the cooked clinker into fine powder as much as possible. Third Master, I have debugged it many times and found that the finer the grinding in the later stage, the better the cement effect, denser, smoother and stronger.”

Jia Huan thought for a while and said, "Do your best, there is no need to be too picky and pursue perfection."

Bai He disagreed in this regard and said, "San Ye, if the grinding is not meticulous, it will affect the quality of the cement. Using cement to pave the road is a good thing, but if the quality is not good, the road surface will not be solid, then..."

Jia Huan smiled and said, "It is stronger than the road. What road can be compared to the road paved with bluestone strips? The Yinan Ancient Road paved with bluestone strips and granite in the pre-Qin period is still intact now. But where can this kind of project be done casually? It is filled with human lives. In addition, our Shenjing, the main streets and the imperial roads are paved with bluestone slabs or granite. Are the other streets still dirt roads?

Why not use stone strips to pave the road? Because it is too expensive to pave the road with bluestone or granite. Each stone strip is chiseled from the rocks with a hammer and chisel. Including the freight, it is not paving the road with stones, but paving it with silver.

But our cement is different. Of course, the price we sell cement in the future is not low, but it is much cheaper than bluestone strips, and there is no need to collect any corvee service. Even if it is damaged occasionally, repairing is easy.

So, as long as you can pass it at this stage, it will be long in the future, and you have time to think about how to do your work in detail.”

Li Wanji, who was standing by, smiled and said, "Third Master said this: The road in our North City is just dirt roads. It rains and mud everywhere, and you step on the mud. If you can use this cement to pave the road, it would be much better. Third Master, is the business you are talking about using cement to pave the road?"

Jia Huan shook his head and said, "The paving project in the city is too big, and there are too many relationships involved, which is not something we can do now... In this way, we start to produce with all our strength, and then pave the road from the gate of our Zhuangzi to Guanlu, and then replace the gate of the Zhuangzi. Now the broken door looks shabby. It is made of newly burned blue bricks, and then grops the joints with cement, making it more glossy."

Bai He suddenly laughed, looked at Jia Huan with a bright and charming look and said, "San Master, are you trying to be a storefront so that you can show the surrounding villages?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Huan looked at Bai He and smiled, "Xiaohe, I never understood the meaning of the poem "I have no colorful phoenix pairs, flying wings, and having a little understanding of each other" but today I finally understood, isn't this talking about us?"

The people around were silent at first, and then somebody couldn't help but laughter suddenly. Everyone leaned forward and backward, looking at Jia Huan, there was less fear and alertness, but more intimate...

Seeing everyone laughing, a smile appeared on Jia Huan's lips. These people changed from official slaves to private slaves, and no longer had any so-called personal autonomy or political rights. They were no different from pigs and sheep. If the master had not cared about his reputation, it would be fine if he was beaten and killed at will.

In this case, Jia Huan felt that if he used his majesty, the effect might not be very good. Instead, it would be better to bring them joy in exchange for closeness and even loyalty...

Bai He had a pretty face flushed and looked at Jia Huan with a angrily look, wanting to speak, but in the end he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Only Xiao Jixiang is angry!

This is so great? This is so great? In time, this little vixen will definitely become a major concern on her journey to her aunt!

Thinking of this, Xiao Jixiang's pair of caterpillars frowned together, with a fire in his eyes, and the little tiger's teeth bared. It seemed that he was about to rush up and knock Bai He, the mistress, down!

However, before she could move, Jia Sanye pulled her to her, hugged her neck and kissed her.

The little tiger who wanted to defend his status as the first concubine was suddenly extinguished by the frivolous behavior of Jia Sanye, and his arrogance gradually rose. He looked at Bai He with great arrogance.

But I didn't expect that Bai He was not annoyed, but laughed happier.

In Bai He's eyes, Mr. Jia may be much more mature, but this little auspicious is not a child's game?

Judging from Jia Huan's appearance, she is not raising a concubine. It's similar to raising a daughter, how could she be jealous?

ps: I didn't sleep well last night, and I got up again in the middle of the night to delete and modify some of the jokes in Chapter 76. Today's writing status is also restricted... I originally wanted to tell the pain, but I asked for votes by the way, but suddenly I remembered that after the national football team lost, Li Yi's complaint was meager and I was immediately happy. In this world, except for a few people living in a honey nest, who is not living hard? If you want to be affirmed and respected, the key is not whether you are training in the scorching sun, whether you are on the court with illness, but whether you have scored goals and won! I think the same is true for writing books... Although the grades are not good and criticized a lot, it doesn't matter. Although I am not a talented player and have slow reactions, I think I am still tough, and I have the confidence to slowly improve and have enough patience. What's more, I actually have so many book friends who silently support me. I am not alone, come on!
Chapter completed!
