Chapter five hundred and sixty-two the chaffinch longing for the sky
“There are so many delicious things in the world!”
If it was the first time he heard such a comment, Song Juren would definitely be overjoyed, beaming with joy, and overjoyed... However, when he heard such praise for the nth time, he was already numb, and there was only one thought in his heart.
.That is - is this man eating and drinking so much in front of you not a pig?
Yang Qilang and Yang Zhan, who had been recuperating for a few days, were not as energetic as before, but at least they no longer seemed as if they could be knocked down by a gust of wind. And the first thing he did after he could get out of bed was to yell for help.
Food, and even requested Song Juren’s sugar water by name, because he still clearly remembered the delicious taste of the sugar water he had been fed before.
So... Song Juren watched in amazement as he drank three bowls of double-skinned milk, two bowls of red bean paste, two bowls of eight-grain sugar, and one bowl of almond milk... Although it was the first time in his life that he met someone who appreciated his craftsmanship so much.
He was a man, but he never dared to let people eat and drink so much again. So, he sternly gave the reason why Zhang Shou persuaded Yang Zhan in the first place.
"Your stomach hasn't fully adjusted yet. If you continue to indulge in overeating like this, I'll risk your life!"
However, the same words Zhang Shou said were useful, but what he got when he said them was Yang Zhan's suspicious snort. Song Juren, who was filled with hatred, was ready to laugh at him again, but when he thought of Zhang Shou's instructions to him, he then
In addition, seeing that people appreciated his sugary drinks, he said angrily: "Besides, Dr. Zhang didn't take you in just to let you eat and drink for free."
"You have to grind out the lenses he needs!"
Yang Zhan, who was still reluctantly scraping the bottom of the bowl with his spoon, unwilling to leave any residue, suddenly raised his head. He put the bowl aside, then stared at Song Juren with bright eyes and asked: "
Dr. Zhang needs those lenses?"
Song Juren saw that such a hungry guy who was just greedy suddenly became serious. He couldn't help being slightly stunned, but after he reacted, he smiled and said: "That's right, Dr. Zhang asked me to tell you that the emperor is right.
People are recruiting talented people from all over the world, planning to test the world, and reset the calendar. Although the calendar mainly depends on the sun and the moon, it also requires stargazing. If you can use the stargazing..."
Before he could finish his words, Yang Zhan suddenly lifted the quilt and got out of bed. When he saw the person's bare feet on the ground, he stood up unsteadily, even taking care of his shoes.
When he was about to walk, he quickly rushed forward and held the person's arm.
Sure enough, the next moment he felt the heavy dragging downwards. If he hadn't exerted his strength quickly, he doubted that he would have been brought to the ground by such a weak guy. He finally pushed him back to the edge of the bed.
After sitting down, he said angrily: "You have been waiting for these days, do you have to be in such a hurry?"
Yang Zhan said unconvincedly: "Time waits for no one..."
Song Juren laughed angrily: "Time waits for no time, so you have to have strength. Of course, your strength is not enough now. Do you still have crystals? Dr. Zhang sent people to your inn to pack things, and all they found was a pile of crystals.
You can't find any crystal slag in the finished product, and you can use it to grind the raw materials for lenses, but there's nothing left."
"The most important thing is that your two followers have disappeared with your money."
Hearing this, Yang Zhan was stunned for a moment, with a face full of disbelief: "Impossible, they are all the people left by my father, they will not just take the money and abscond... When I was in prison before, they still came every day
You went to deliver food to me in prison, why now..."
Song Juren was about to give this ignorant idiot a good beating when he heard another idiot's voice coming from outside the door: "Shuntian Prefecture Office Song Tuiguan just sent news, saying that Mr. Yang Qi, your entourage is here."
We have found it. They claimed with snot and tears that they were not absconding with the money, but that they planned to let you taste the feeling of hunger and cold."
"They said that the deceased Mr. Yang's family fortune that he accumulated throughout his life has almost been wiped out by you, but you are still stubborn. I originally thought that you would be able to wake up after being imprisoned, but you are still obsessed with studying these strange things.
Weird thing. They really couldn't see you continuing to mess up like this, so they just left."
"They thought that after you were driven out of poverty, you might wake up, but they didn't expect that without them, you would be without food and water and almost starve to death."
Fang Qing entered the room as he spoke. Seeing Yang Zhan dumbfounded and Song Juren with a toothache expression on his face, he said calmly: "I was originally entrusted by Dr. Zhang to question the evil servant who betrayed his master.
, Unexpectedly, the two of them insisted on denying it, and I heard that Mr. Lin said that he still lives very close to your inn, Mr. Yang Qi, so that he can get there in time if something happens. "
"Had it not been for Mr. Lin's quick actions, one of them would have almost killed him because of his guilt."
After hearing this and seeing Fang Qing looking at him with contempt, Song Juren finally couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily: "This is all a family matter of the Yang family, what do you think I am doing!"
"I'm not doing anything. I just thought that birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups!" Fang Qing continued to look at Song Juren with contempt and said word by word, "I just thought that someone drugged a servant in order to participate in the imperial chef selection.
He tied the bookboy to the bed and even dismounted his own horse! Being a servant to such a master who only cares about his own will will really make him unlucky for eight lifetimes!"
Song Juren was so angry that he was so angry that Yang Zhan, who was sitting on the bed, had the first trace of rosiness on his face gone, and his lips were trembling slightly. He pinched his palm gently and said nervously: "I'm not a bad person.
The things my father left me, money and money are external things. I just want to make something that can see the distance, even the stars..."
If this had happened just now, Song Juren would have just laughed and ridiculed him, but being hurt by Fang Qing and seeing Yang Zhan's obviously shocked look, he felt very uncomfortable.
He coughed lightly: "How can a bird know the ambition of a swan? As a servant, it is better to know the great ambition of the master! Young Master Yang, you have ruined some things, but haven't you achieved results? Even
Dr. Zhang affirms your talent, why do you still care about what a few servants say..."
Before he could finish his words, Fang Qing scolded him angrily: "Song bastard, don't use your words to prevaricate! Everyone has their own ambitions. This is indeed true, but you can do the math for yourself. From childhood to adulthood,
How much have you eaten at home, how much have you used home, and how much have you given back? Moreover, you have the spare time to learn cooking skills. Isn’t it because you were born in the Song family that you have such free time? "
"If you were born in an ordinary family, you wouldn't have time to run around all day for food and clothing, how could you have such leisure and leisure?"
"Since the Song family has given you a privileged life, of course you should repay the family! There is no reason to eat, drink and enjoy it as a matter of course. When the family needs you to study and become an official to honor your ancestors, you feel that this is something that is forced on others!"
Song Juren was so scolded by Fang Qing that he turned blue in the face. Compared with Princess Yongping, who was quarreling with him at that time but actually failed to grasp the real fundamentals, Fang Qing's words could be said to be a slap in the face and directly hit his weak spot.
. But he was unwilling to show weakness, so he immediately retorted angrily: "Why don't I repay you? I have already passed the Juren exam, and there are still a lot of scholars in the Song family who have not passed the exam!"
"How much convenience can a person be brought to the family, and how much food can be saved in a year? Not to mention other hidden benefits." He raised his chin as he spoke, and said with an air of dignity, "Just this person can be worth more than 100,000 yuan.
I have to come back to the Song family to support me these years!"
Fang Qing was so angry at Song Juren's argument that just one person was elected, but when it was time to fight again, he saw Yang Zhan sitting there in a daze, mumbling as if he was talking about something. Thinking of Zhang Shou asking him to please
He and Song Juren took good care of this person, and he hurriedly left Song Juren in front of Yang Zhan, and extended his hands to wave in front of Yang Zhan.
However, the confused Yang Zhan did not react much to this, but murmured to himself: "Yes, I grew up eating food from home and using food from home. I was sent to Yuzhang Academy, but even the scholar
I didn’t even pass the exam, and my father was always laughed at by other people. But he never blamed me. Before he died, he was afraid that someone would try to seize my family’s property, so he invited Chief Hong Shan to come as a witness..."
"My mother is already rich and prosperous and has become a feudal lord. She even goes to various farms to inspect the harvests, just to get a few more kilo meters to support the family. She must be very worried when I let go..."
"I shouldn't be so willful..."
Seeing that Yang Zhan really started to reflect like this, Song Juren finally became anxious. He quickly stepped forward and pushed Fang Qing away, then pressed Yang Zhan's shoulders with both hands and shouted angrily: "Hey,
You kid, don't listen to Crow Mouth's plausible reasoning. He has offended so many people with his mouth, and now he dares to teach you a lesson!"
"How much effort have you put into pursuing your ideals, and now you want to give up halfway?"
Yang Zhan raised his head blankly and looked up at Song Juren with unfocused eyes. After a long while, he spoke with difficulty: "Of course I don't want to give up halfway, but...but my crystal mine has collapsed. I was in a hurry to go to Beijing and put it in my house."
I brought the best quality crystals and all the money left, and the food and accommodation during this period are almost gone."
"How can I continue?"
This time, knowing how extravagant this guy was, Song Juren was immediately speechless. When he caught a glimpse of Fang Qing looking at him mockingly, he felt a surge of anger rushing into his mind, and he said without thinking, "I will help you." But
As soon as the words came out, he saw that Fang Qing's sarcasm became more obvious, and then he suddenly thought of his current situation.
His servants are still living in Zhao Guogong's mansion, and Zhang Shou provides him with food and accommodation, so how can he help others? The Song family wishes they could cut off all his supplies so that he can
This shameful guy goes back in disgrace!
After racking his brains for a long time, Song Juren finally had an idea flash in his mind, and immediately clapped his hands and said: "Yes! Have you not seen Dr. Zhang's underground workshop, Yang Zhan? No matter how capable you are, you can't do it alone."
Not as good as a bunch of skilled craftsmen! These people are amazing, especially the youngest Guan Qiu! Change your clothes quickly and follow me!"
Song Juren kicked Fang Qing out without any explanation, and then began to help Yang Zhan change clothes in a hurry. He had never done this before, and he was so busy that he was sweating profusely before he could tidy up the confused Young Master Yang Qi.
. When he dragged the person out of the house, he saw Fang Qing glaring at him with disapproval on his face.
"How dare you bring people to his secret workshop without Dr. Zhang's permission?"
"He has already said that Yang Zhan has a quick mind and is a good young man. He allows me to walk around Zhang Yuan freely." Song Juren said confidently, but he felt unsure in his heart, so he quickly added, "It's a big deal."
I’m going to ask Madam Wu for instructions!”
Seeing that Song Juren actually helped the staggering Yang Zhan to see the Wu family, Fang Qing felt extremely complicated. He didn't believe that the Wu family would just let an outsider go to the workshop - and he also felt that the Wu family would let an outsider go to the workshop casually.
Wu did not have such authority. But what surprised him was that after Song Juren made the request, Wu only hesitated briefly and nodded readily.
Seeing Song Juren happily supporting the stunned Yang Zhan and turning away, Fang Qing couldn't help but immediately came to Wu and persuaded: "Mrs. Wu, should we wait until Dr. Zhang comes back to discuss this matter? Even the emperor has been there.
The place……"
"It's okay." Mrs. Wu smiled with a relaxed face, "The people Ah Shou brought back personally and placed at home are trustworthy. Besides, although the workshop at home is confidential, the things in it are not something you can just glance at.
Those who can learn, Ashou said, in our workshop, from Guan Qiu to young craftsmen to apprentices, they learn both arithmetic and physics."
"Although I don't understand this, he said that these young people are no worse than the students of Jiuzhangtang!"
Yang Zhan, who had just gone out, happened to hear Wu's last words, and his originally dull eyes gradually brightened.
Originally he was just passively being dragged by Song Juren, but he couldn't help but put his hands on Song Juren's shoulders. Although his steps were still frivolous, his whole body gradually gained some strength. Just now those ears could hear, but
The words he had completely heard and let it go came to mind again one by one, and his stagnant mind gradually regained his ability to think.
But even if he used his unlimited imagination, when he followed Song Juren into the underground workshop and saw the countless crystals inlaid on the wall, he couldn't help but take a breath, and his first thought was to pluck them all out and take them back.
Do experiments!
And when he was brought to the clock that had been improved again and had a transparent dial, he was stunned for a moment again, and then he couldn't help but reach out and touch the crystal clear dial.
The next moment, he heard a voice coming from his ears: "The dial is made of crystal, and the cost is too high. These days, Senior Brother Zhao, Senior Brother Luo and the others have been following Dr. Zhang's instructions and burning glass in the yard behind. So far,
It produced many colors, but it was not transparent enough. I heard that if it succeeds, it will be the best substitute for crystal. After all, crystal is natural and glass is made from sand!"
