Now Mu Yan has given the Zhuangzi to her and it has become hers.
Ji Laozhuang saw her coming and hurriedly came over to pay her respects: "I've met my boss."
"Did your master explain it to you?"
"Yes, the young master asked us to listen to our boss from now on."
Huo Xi glanced at him. Mu Yan said that this person from Zhuangzi was loyal and trustworthy and would not let him change his name. Except for Ji Laozhuang, the other servants of the village should not know that their master had changed. So, he should still be trustworthy.
"Your young master said that I should trust him and your methods, so I will trust you for once. Next, I will practice sugar on the village. This matter is confidential and cannot be leaked. I wonder if the servants of the village can keep it secret.
?”
"Don't worry, boss. This village was originally the private property of the old Marquis. He was very loyal to him. Later, after the old Marquis passed away, he voluntarily stayed here to guard his grave. All the servants in the village are clean.
Yes, he is also loyal to the young master. He is one of our own, so my boss can use it with confidence."
Those who are willing to stay in Jiangjun Mountain to guard the grave of their old master and live a poor life here are, firstly, loyal, and secondly, they have nowhere to go and do not have so many connections with the outside world.
Huo Xi nodded and trusted Mu Yan for once, otherwise it would be better to do it at home, which would be inefficient and too laborious.
Seeing that Ji Laozhuang had planted winter wheat on all the fields in the village, and the village affairs were free, Huo Xi began to lead Huo Erhuai and Bao Kangzuo, and his family to help.
After doing it once, Ji Laozhuang's eyes widened as he watched the black sucrose turn into white sugar in his hands, his face full of disbelief.
No wonder the owner has to go back and forth to ask the people on the bank whether they are loyal.
With such a huge benefit in front of him, he couldn't guarantee it.
Shivering, she knelt down in front of Huo Xi: "Don't worry, boss. I will definitely keep the secret for my boss and take good care of the servants. Let others do the scraping and cutting of sugar, lifting and other tasks behind, and let others do the showering.
For the urgent process, my family and the Bao family should do it."
Huo Xi nodded in agreement and began to add a large amount of refined sugar.
Mu Yan got the news and asked Kun Si to go over and beat up Ji Lao Village overnight. After Ji Lao Village showed his loyalty, Kun Si left.
The next day, Mu Yan went to greet his aunt Cheng early in the morning.
Mrs. Cheng said: "The day after tomorrow is your Uncle Cheng's birthday, can you go there?"
Mu Yan thought for a while and nodded: "I will come out of the palace early in the afternoon to have dinner with my uncle."
Mrs. Cheng laughed: "Your maternal uncle and the others must be very happy to see you."
Looking at my son sitting beside me, I felt very happy to see that he had grown up and looked like jade.
"Your eldest uncle's cousin Anyuan was born right after you, and we have lived together for a hundred days. Now she is a tall and graceful child, and is well raised by your eldest aunt..."
Mu Yan frowned.
Mrs. Cheng didn't notice the change in her son's face, and said to herself: "Auntie is thinking that the Cheng family has been an official family for generations, and your status is embarrassing now. If you marry your maternal ancestors in the future..."
"Aunt, don't talk about this anymore. I only think of Anyuan as my sister." Mu Yan interrupted coldly.
Mrs. Cheng was stunned.
She looked at him with some reluctance: "The Cheng family still has some old relatives by marriage, and several people from your aunt's family are also in the court. In the future, with the protection of the Cheng family, you won't have anyone to help you in the court.
I'm afraid your biological father won't be able to give you any support..."
"I don't need his support."
His biological father was so upset that he wished he didn't have a son who could support him?
Mrs. Cheng saw that he really seemed to have no interest in the child Anyuan, so she added, "There are several cousins in your maternal grandfather's family..."
She secretly wanted her son to marry a daughter-in-law from her mother's family, so that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would get along well with each other. In this huge mansion, she would not be too lonely if she had someone to talk to with her in the future.
And Yan'er will have a smoother path in the future with the support of his natal family. Who else is willing to sincerely help him besides his natal family.
"Aunt, I only treat the cousins of the Cheng family as my own sisters. Please don't mention her again in the future, lest I feel uncomfortable when I go to the Cheng family."
Seeing that her son really had no interest in the Cheng family's cousins, Ms. Cheng felt a little disappointed on her face.
Mu Yan originally wanted to leave, but seeing her like this, he patiently sat back. Now she is the only one who really misses her.
Mrs. Cheng smiled again when she saw that her son was still willing to sit with her in the room.
He said sincerely: "You are now older, and it is the right age for us to meet each other. A few days ago, Mrs. Wu, the Marquis of Yongkang, seemed to want to tell you about the three girls in her family. At that time, my aunt was thinking about your sister Anyuan, so she dressed casually.
Zuo didn't hear the hint in her words. Now that I think about it, although the three girls of the Xu family are concubines, they were raised under the name of the Wu family since they were young, and they were also raised as legitimate daughters..."
Thinking of Xu Miaoyuan who went to the Imperial College to block him and stuffed various soups into his arms, the veins on Mu Yan's forehead jumped.
"That's all she is."
Mrs. Cheng was waiting to say more, but was stunned again after hearing this.
Staring at him for a long time: "Lian'er has a sweetheart?"
Mu Yan shook his head: "No."
Mrs. Cheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Then what kind do you like? Auntie helped you find it."
Mu Yan ran out of patience and stood up: "Whatever. Auntie can figure it out herself."
Seeing her son disappear without a trace in a few seconds, Mrs. Cheng was confused and asked her to do whatever she wanted. But she was not satisfied either with this or with that.
Ordinarily, Anyuan of the Cheng family wouldn't like her, and there were other girls. The Cheng family was his maternal family, so they would treat each other sincerely and know her roots.
That Miss Xu San is not bad. Although she is a concubine, Yongkang Marquis is also a famous general in Jingnan. She is in the heart of the emperor and has a hereditary position. Having such a Yue family will be a help in the future.
Mrs. Cheng began to attract girls in the capital, vowing to find one she would like.
Over the next few days, Huo Xi got the first batch of 100-stone white sugar, so he led Ji Laozhuang and others to start building a kang room.
Although the people in the south of the Yangtze River did not use fire kangs, some people still knew about the kang beds for keeping warm in winter. Seeing that Huo Xi wanted to build a kang room, Ji Laozhuang murmured in his heart.
I don’t know what the boss is up to again.
At first, he set up about ten large stoves, closed the door to avoid them, and cooked things. Ji Laozhuang had already thought about it for a while, but he didn't dare to peep.
Now I see my boss leading them to make white sugar, and I am very surprised.
There is even sugar as white as snow.
Now I saw that my employer was planning to build a Kang room again. Although I was murmuring in my heart, I thought it would be a good thing again, and I was vaguely looking forward to it.
But as I continued doing it, I became confused again.
The fire kang made by the owner seems to be different from the fire kang in the north.
It is not against the wall, but is located in the middle of the room. There is a large kang bed in the middle. There are three feet of width on both sides of the kang bed. The owner said it is for walking.
The stove eye is set outside the house, and a flue gas pipe is laid under the kang bed. The kang beds are connected end to end and separated by a sandwich wall. Six kang beds are built in a large room.
It looked like building a large public house. All the servants looked at the kang beds connected end to end and murmured, "What is the master doing?"
There is a third update ~ there will be more tomorrow and the next day. Basho couldn't help but write a very short modern story. I have been writing ancient words for a long time, and I can't even write them in reality. I feel a little uncomfortable switching between languages. Welcome.
