Chapter 1209 After the Rain

Qin Hanzhen's dowry included a large number of newly made furniture. He found a team of craftsmen with excellent skills and specially placed them in Zhuangzi in Tongzhou. They used the canal to transport good wood from the south and pulled it from the dock to Zhuangzi.

On it, I just typed it there. Although it was generally a traditional style, Qin Hanzhen also personally read the drawings and made modifications according to his own preferences in order to make it more comfortable to use in the future.

This kind of furniture is naturally unique and can't be found anywhere else.

Now that the wedding date of Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo is very close, the carpenters in Tongzhou Zhuangzi have almost finished their work. The large pieces of furniture have been completed, and there are still some small pieces such as flower tables and Kang tables left.

It was time to finish the work. It was a sunny day with the sun shining high in the sky, so the supervisor in charge of furniture supervision ordered people to load most of the completed furniture into trucks and take it back to the city first.

The renovation of Suning County Prince's Mansion has also been completed, and flowers and trees are being planted recently. Although it is not the time to deliver furniture yet, Suning County Prince's Mansion and Yongjia Marquis' Mansion are so close, and Suning County Prince Zhao Mo himself does not live there.

In the prince's palace, he still stayed in the other courtyard across the street, leaving a vacant courtyard in the prince's palace.

Come on, it’s okay to store some of the furniture first. As long as the Yongjia Marquis Mansion also stores some of it, it will be fine when the furniture is delivered to Suning County Prince’s Mansion according to the ceremony. It will save everyone trouble. If the people in the County Prince’s Mansion

If you have time, you might be able to put some furniture in your new house in advance.

But who would have expected that it would be such an unlucky thing. Halfway through the carriage transporting furniture, with no village in front and no store behind, it started to rain. I hurriedly found a dilapidated temple to take shelter from the rain, planning to wait until the rain stopped before continuing on the road.

, as a result, the rain became heavier and heavier, and even the roof of the ruined temple kept leaking, causing the inside of the temple to be damaged.

More than half of it was flooded. The furniture of the large carriages was naturally affected. Some were caught in the rain, some had their feet submerged in water, and because of the thunderstorm, the horses pulling the carriages were frightened, resulting in chaos.

He ran around, knocked the furniture on the car, and even fell off the car.

The convoy transporting furniture was in a panic. Seeing that the situation was not good, the steward who was accompanying the convoy rushed to the nearest farm under the name of the Marquis of Cheng'en in the rain. He borrowed enough manpower and carriages to rush back to the ruined temple to pull the furniture.

The furniture was moved to a safe place in time. By that time, it was almost midnight.

The group of people collapsed from exhaustion. After hurriedly washing up and filling their stomachs, they rested on the farm for the night. When they got up the next day, the steward went to check the furniture and found that a incense table was missing. Although it was only a small item, it was also a list.

The items listed above are also

It was a part of the complete set of furniture, and it was hard to explain if it was missing. He took advantage of the rain to lighten up, and hurried to the ruined temple to find it. He found that the ruined temple had collapsed due to a storm overnight, and only half of the earthen wall was still standing.

Now, where can I find some incense?

Cai Shengnan told Qin Hanzhen: "The furniture is all newly made, using good wood, and the craftsmen are also careful. Even if it rains for a long time, it will not be damaged. But if you want to avoid problems, you still have to find a sunny day and windy weather."

The weather is good, it will take a few days to dry. But the lost incense table is a trouble. It is a set of items, and it is unlucky if one is missing. If you want to call the craftsman back to make it again, I don’t know if he will come back.

It’s too late.”

Qin Hanzhen thought for a while: "I still remember the design of the incense table. The craftsmanship requirements are not complicated. It takes nearly a month, which is enough. With skilled craftsmen, it can be completed in ten and a half days. It only takes a few minutes."

The paint takes longer, and it will take a month or two for the smell to dissipate. At worst, after delivering the furniture, I will not use the new furniture now, but find another place to put it for two months to dissipate the smell. Mother will just take care of it.

Just send a message to Tongzhou and ask them to make it quickly. Otherwise, if you go to the ruined temple and dig out the things, you don't know if they can still be used."

She had no choice but to start preparing this batch of furniture not long after the wedding decree was given. Construction officially started, and it has only taken a year now. There is plenty of time, abundant wood and supplies, and the craftsmen are excellent in craftsmanship.

With food and shelter at ease, he took his time to do the fine work, and it was only completed at this time. Time was tight now, and if he had to rush to make another piece, it would definitely not be as perfect as the original one. But Qin Han really thought about it

There are not many times when I can use the incense table, and the dowry furniture does not only have a pair of incense tables, so it is not a big problem.

Cai Shengnan actually felt that it was unlucky to have such a change in the dowry furniture. However, Qin Hanzhen didn't care, so she naturally looked away and agreed. It's just that the fleet transporting the furniture failed to arrive on time.

When entering the city, I had previously informed Suning County Prince that he wanted to borrow a place, so I had to inform him of the new situation.

She didn't know how long the rain would last. If it rained for several days in a row, the furniture would probably have to stay in the village of Cheng'enhou Mansion. She would have to tell the chief of staff. Besides, it would be temporarily stored.

Among the furniture in the house of Marquis Chengen, some were damaged in the rain and had to be repaired by craftsmen from Tongzhou. If the damage was not serious and could be repaired on the spot, it would be no problem; in case of damage, it would be no problem.

It was so obvious that we had to go back to Tongzhou to rework or even make it all over again. Considering that there are many large pieces of furniture in these pieces, and each piece took three or two months to complete, it definitely didn’t look like it.

It's so easy to remake an incense table.

Cai Shengnan's scalp was numb. He knew that this was the first big thing he would handle after marrying into the Qin family, and nothing could go wrong. He felt a little worried.

Regarding this kind of problem, Qin Hanzhen still looked so arrogant: "How can it be so serious? Where there are knock-offs, just add more carvings. Let the craftsmen repair the knock-off corners. The craftsmanship is

You can trust it. Don’t worry, mother, I know it all. Accidents caused by this kind of weather are force majeure and no one wants it. You don’t have to be too stressed. We can just do our best. If it is unavoidable, there may be problems with a few pieces of furniture.

, if there is no way to use it, then at worst I can just leave it at home. I am going to make some furniture for the dowry, and it is not something that Cousin Zhao ordered and must send it to the county prince’s palace in one piece. I need to change it for the dowry.

Just a list will do, there’s nothing to worry about.”

Seeing her like this, Cai Shengnan lost all temper: "Sister, although it is dowry furniture, the county prince's palace has just been built. When we bought new furniture, we first went to the county prince's palace to measure the dimensions of each piece.

The pieces are all compared to the house over there. For this reason, the little county prince didn’t ask his men to build another piece of furniture, so the houses over there are now empty. If we are missing two or three pieces of furniture here, the county will

There really will be no furniture available in the palace. What does this look like? Even if there are no rumors, just the people in their county and prince's palace know that my new mistress, my dear sister, doesn't look good on her face."

Cai Shengnan advised Qin Hanzhen sincerely: "Although you and the little prince are childhood sweethearts, have a deep love, and are married to each other from the emperor. Regardless of family background or holy family, there is nothing to worry about, but if you marry

In the past, after all, to be a princess, you had to establish your prestige in the palace, so that you could control the palace's subordinate officials and servants, and then you would have enough confidence when you went out to deal with the nobles of the clan. Of course, the little prince is

I will help you take care of everything so that you won't be upset, but you must also stand up for yourself, so that you can be a husband and wife in the long term."

Qin Hanzhen knew that Cai Shengnan meant to remind him, so he stood up and responded respectfully. After thinking about it, he said to Cai Shengnan: "If any of the new furniture is really badly worn, we can ask the craftsmen to change the design and put it back together again.

I can make enough new furniture. Besides, the most time-consuming part of furniture is carving, and among my batch of furniture, the carving styles tend to be simple, elegant, and have good meanings, so it shouldn’t be a big problem. When I wanted to make furniture, my grandmother

They have prepared enough wood for me, and there is still a lot left. They have all been processed. This part can save a lot of time. If there is a shortage of craftsmen, they can just hire more. The design drawings are all ready-made.

Just follow the pattern, and you don't have to worry about inconsistent styles. One month is a bit tight, so we'll pay the craftsmen a few percent more, take care of the logistics, and work overtime, and we should be able to catch up."

Cai Shengnan thought for a while, nodded and said: "Let's do it this way. That's all we can do now." He also planned to go to the farm of Cheng'enhou Mansion in person, so that he could see clearly how much damage the furniture had.

serious.

Qin Han really wanted to follow, after all, she was the first person to handle this matter, but Cai Shengnan stopped her: "In this weather, you should not go, so you can stay at home and take care of the Marquis and his wife. I

Let’s start early tomorrow morning and ride back and forth, and we’ll be home before dark.”

Qin Hanzhen felt that something was wrong: "It would be okay if the rain stops, but if it doesn't stop, mother shouldn't take this risk. Even the ruined temple can collapse. I don't know if there will be danger on the road. Let's see first."

Let’s talk about it based on the situation.”

It only took two days to see this. This rain actually lasted for nearly three days. There were flooded neighborhoods inside and outside the capital, and there were reports of house collapse in many places. The city guards were mobilized.

He took half of his troops and went to help with the disaster relief and rescue people. Qin Ping went out early and came back late every day, and his clothes were wet for at least half the day. This was true for military attachés of his level, not to mention the soldiers below. Cai Shengnan even

In the next few days, I sent a vat of ginger soup to the City Guard Yamen, and also bought a batch of patent medicines for treating wind and cold. I kept one for my family, one for each of my eldest brother and my second wife, and one for Yunyang Houfu and my natal family.

The rest were sent to the City Guard Yamen. This won Qin Ping a lot of hearts.

The rain stopped and Cai Shengnan wanted to ride out of the city again. Not to mention that Qin Han really tried to dissuade her. Even the Niu family refused to agree. She had to give up the idea and sent her mother-in-law to do it for her. Fortunately, Zhao Mo got the true biography of Qin Han.

I wrote the letter and asked Ashou to send a few guards to accompany him. The journey went smoothly. When we arrived at the farm of the Marquis of Chengen, we found that the damage to the furniture was not as serious as expected. There were several broken places.

It took ten days and a half to repair it. The most damaged part was just a hollow cabinet door with a simple carving. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The Qin family could finally feel at ease, but Zhao Mo was worried.

The three consecutive days of heavy rain have not only brought disaster to the capital area, but also spread to the surrounding areas of Zhili, Gyeonggi Province. The most serious consequence is that this year's autumn grain harvest in Zhili may not be possible.

It’s the third time that Avni has visited Guangdong. It’s been raining heavily here for several days in a row. It’s said that there will be heavy rains in the next few days. I feel that the titles of these chapters are really suitable for the occasion...
