Zheng Yangrong was originally Gu Qingling's man, so the court was short of people, so Gu Qingling asked his subordinates to recommend someone.
Zheng Yangrong is one of them.
Unlike other masters, he has low self-esteem and is embarrassed to meet others even if he is capable.
As soon as the steward shouted, everyone was coy and refused to come out. They didn't want to be so-called "surpassing others" and just wanted to be safe.
So, among a group of masters, Zheng Yangrong was elected.
Comparatively speaking, Zheng Yangrong does have a lot of things to do, has excellent skills, and has no problem with dealing with people.
Both are practical people, and Zheng Yangrong and Xing Yuanjia communicate very smoothly.
However, for the people in the village, the idea of a heated kang or a heated kang is still quite novel.
Therefore, when the fire kang was being inspected, many men, women, and children in the village gathered around, wanting to watch the fun.
Xing Yuanjia communicated with Zheng Yangrong and determined that this thing did not need to be kept secret, so they did not drive it away, but used it in front of everyone for interviews.
"Is this fire bed really good for sleeping?"
"Yes, why not? Look, the fire pit connected to the stove is higher than the ground..."
"Why make a fire?"
"It's just like cooking. You cook at the right time, boil water or something, and the smoke goes under the bed, and it slowly heats up."
…
At this time, the weather has not completely cooled down yet, but the fire kang is said to be able to keep people warm, which is somewhat attractive.
Zheng Yangrong lit the fire while introducing it to everyone.
Nothing was boiled in the pot, just a pot of water.
After the kang was warmed up, Zheng Yangrong felt the temperature, and then asked the people in the circle to come closer and feel it for themselves.
Many people exclaimed in surprise at this feeling.
"It's really getting warmer?!"
"so amazing!"
"I can cook and warm the bed. It seems pretty good."
…
Many people are interested in getting one at home.
However, Zheng Yangrong explained to everyone that this thing may not be suitable for them because it is not moisture-proof.
There is a lot of humidity here, so even the straw under the bed will become moist if not replaced over time.
Therefore, diligent people will collect some clean straw and replace the old ones after the autumn harvest every year.
Fresh straw is clean and soft, and the bed is thicker and warmer in winter.
Zheng Yangrong does not recommend everyone to repair the fire kang, but if someone needs it, they will help repair it and even bring apprentices.
At this time, people in the village no longer cared whether it was suitable for cultivation here, but just went to Du Lizheng and recommended their sons or nephews to come and learn.
Finally, I picked two or three, together with the two apprentices who had learned from Zheng Yangrong before.
…
The weather is getting colder.
As the princess of Prince Chong's Mansion, Gu Qingling had a brazier lit in her yard early.
The upper body is wearing a lotus red large-needle draping sleeves, a banana cloth with a straight collar and a floral gray soft satin with beads, and the lower body is an orchid-purple needlework long gauze skirt.
A silver peacock hairpin with blue and green dots is embellished in her delicate temples. Polished green jade earrings hang from her ears. She holds a letter in her long, slender hands and is reading it carefully.
When Li Wenchong came in from the outside, this was what he saw.
The branches on the waist are thin and soft, and the pink and orange nets are lightly tied. There is a sachet embroidered with the wings of a white crane hanging on it. It is completely impossible to tell that she is already a grandmother in her forties or fifties.
If one didn't know her age and her graceful appearance, one would just think that she was the head matron of some family, charming, mature and steady.
Of course, that sachet was not embroidered by Gu Qingling.
Because most of the sachets she embroidered were worn on Li Wenchong's waist.
The remaining pieces were sent to her daughter Yao Ruyan and her granddaughters Yao Anxin and Yao Anling.
"You can give it to your daughter or granddaughter. Let the embroiderers in the mansion prepare the rest. Why bother to do it yourself? Embroidery is so hard on your eyes."
Li Wenchong would never admit that he was jealous.
Why should the princess whom she finally married embroider sachets and purses for other men?
Gu Qingling, who just wanted to practice and master the original master's embroidery skills: "..."
Forget it, just stop embroidering if she's not allowed to do it. She just wants to practice her skills anyway.
This thing is indeed too troublesome. It's okay to play with it occasionally. If you really want her to do it every day when she has nothing to do, she will be annoyed.
Gu Qingling noticed someone coming in and raised her head.
The beads of the hairpin swayed slightly with her movements, which was elegant and beautiful, and made her slender face look particularly delicate.
"came back?"
Gu Qingling smiled, put down the letter, and took off his robe herself.
She glared at him resentfully, why didn't she let the maid take action and insisted on waiting for her here.
Li Wenchong was shameless and didn't think there was anything wrong with taking care of his princess.
Before we got married, we would just let the maid take it. Now that we have a princess, she naturally has to do it herself.
His eyes kept following her, his eyes full of tenderness, as if he couldn't get enough of her.
Gu Qingling asked someone to prepare lunch.
"You came back later today. Did the emperor keep you here again?"
Li Wenchong nodded: "Well, I went to court and talked to the emperor for a while. Mainly because there was good news from Jiangtian County, and the emperor was happy."
"What good news can there be in winter? It's just that the fish ponds have been repaired and the chickens and ducks have hatched."
"That's different. It was a plan before, but now it's implementation. These are two different things." Li Wenchong said with a smile, "Before, the emperor was worried that the people below would be cheating and cheating, but it's almost the end of the year.
The ministers were also busy and couldn't squeeze out anyone, so they sent a eunuch to lead the team..."
Although he was a eunuch, the father-in-law was also someone close to Emperor Mingguang.
To be honest, Emperor Mingguang was really busy this year. Prince Cheng was sent out to deal with the messy accounts, so Emperor Mingguang had to keep an eye on Haiyan himself.
None of the princes are reliable, and none of them dare to give.
Important ministers of the DPRK...
Emperor Mingguang originally did not want the important officials in the court to touch this matter, so it was naturally impossible to leave it to them.
After picking and choosing, I almost picked it on Li Wenchong.
Li Wenchong quickly refused. He already had something else in his hand. If this thing fell into his hands again, it would be really difficult to deal with it in the future.
Li Wenchong asked Emperor Mingguang to cultivate a few talents closely. Even if the two sleeves Qingfeng cannot be completely independent, it is better to keep an eye on them first and then lead them slowly than to find a ready-made one.
Haiyan is of great importance, so it is better to be "independent".
"Even if they are eunuchs, they are your brother's people. They represent your brother's face. No matter how stupid the people below are, they will cooperate." Gu Qingling said, "Didn't Jiangtian County submit a locust extermination plan? I see.
The plan is solid, and the person who made the plan is also a solid person. As long as he acts according to the plan, there shouldn't be any big problems. Even if there is a problem, I can watch it with my father-in-law and report it at any time. "
"You seem to be very happy about that Xing Yuanjia?"
When Gu Qingling heard that his tone was wrong, she laughed a little: "Didn't you tell me what you said to me? Why, you don't like it now? It's like a cat catching a mouse, whether it's a black cat or a white mouse, as long as it can catch the mouse, it will
Good cat. We don’t care who he is, whether he is a farmer or a scholar, as long as he can do practical things."
