Chapter 67: A Visit to Fucheng

Sun Jing made simple arrangements for the refugees. Now that Zhao Jing is completely familiar with the purification steps, there will be no big problems if she is in charge. Sun Jing returned home and changed into a pair of decent clothes. Only then did Sun Jing remember

In the Ming Dynasty, people who wore short shirts were considered inferior. The Zhang family was a member of the imperial family. Wouldn't it mean that I would lose status if I wore short shirts?

Fortunately, Zhao Fuxiang sold clothes to the whole family a few days ago, and Sun Jing was dressed like a married woman. However, Sun Jing really couldn't get used to wearing such a wide robe with long sleeves, so she tried it on at home and took it off. After all, she still wore it before.

The clothes are comfortable.

Sun Jing was rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the house looking for clothes, while Zhao Heng stood outside waiting. At this time, grandma Ma Guilan also came back.

Ma Guilan is mainly responsible for agriculture, but now the potatoes have sprouted and do not need too much care. In addition, Ma Guilan has five or six farmers helping her, so she is very relaxed every day.

Ma Guilan saw her grandson standing at the door and asked curiously: "Baby, aren't you training? Why are you here?"

Seeing that grandma was back, Zhao Heng said quickly: "It's okay, I'll go out with my mother in a while!"

Zhao Heng knew that grandma had just had a quarrel with her mother last night, so it was better not to let grandma go today to avoid the two of them quarreling on the road. But who is Ma Guilan? She can be considered a high-level intellectual. Look

The way Zhao Heng hesitated, he knew something was up.

"Baby, are you hiding something from grandma?"

Zhao Heng was questioned by Ma Guilan and had no choice but to tell the story aside. Ma Guilan heard that her precious grandson was going on a blind date, and the annoying daughter-in-law actually wanted to follow her to see her grandson. How could Ma Guilan miss this opportunity?

"Baby, please wait a moment, grandma is going too!"

Zhao Heng was really afraid that something might happen, so he quickly said: "Grandma, our home is more than ten miles away from Qiongzhou Prefecture. You should not go there at such an old age. Will I tell you differently when my mother comes back?"

"Can it be the same? Can your mother's aesthetic point of view be the same as that of grandma? And of course my precious grandson's wife, the old lady, also wants to see it and help you check it!"

After Ma Guilan finished speaking, she went into the house to change clothes. Zhao Heng saw that he could not stop him, fearing that if both of them went, they would start arguing on the way.

Zhao Heng quickly called a maid over and asked her to watch these two people at the door. He told her not to let these two people go until they came back. Then he hurried to Xinbu Island to find his father to make up his mind.

.

Zhao Fuxiang returned to the sugar factory on Xinbu Island early. He was very satisfied with the progress of the workers. In the three days since he left, he had produced more than 500 shi of white sugar and consumed 1,000 shi of brown sugar. The conversion ratio had reached

The conversion ratio is more than fifty, which is far better than the conversion ratio of more than ten in the Ming Dynasty. Zhao Fuxiang knows that this is due to unskilled craftsmanship in the early stage. In the future, as the workers become more and more skilled, the conversion ratio can reach even greater. According to Zhao Fuxiang's estimation, it can reach up to 80%.

The sugar yield rate.

Zhao Fuxiang told several foremen to ensure production and production safety at the same time. These skilled workers are Zhao Fuxiang's capital, and Zhao Fuxiang does not want them to make any mistakes.

At this time, Zhao Heng came to Xinbu Island in a hurry. When he saw Zhao Fuxiang, he shouted: "Dad, something bad is going to happen!"

Seeing his son coming, Zhao Fuxiang thought something important had happened and asked, "What happened?"

Zhao Heng told what happened to his mother and grandma, and then asked: "Dad, mom and grandma are all going, what should we do?"

Zhao Fuxiang's reaction was not like Zhao Heng's. After hearing this, he was stunned and just smiled and asked: "Do you want to go too? That's fine. Let's go!"

Seeing that I was tepid, Zhao Heng said anxiously: "Dad, aren't you afraid that they will start arguing on the way?"

Zhao Fuxiang sighed and said: "Son, you are also an adult. You will also be someone's husband in the future. You will definitely encounter problems in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. You must remember that a man should not get involved in conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Because no matter what you say is wrong, you just ignore it and they will be fine after a while!"

Zhao Heng was skeptical after hearing what Zhao Fuxiang said, but seeing Zhao Fuxiang acting like an old man, he had no choice but to believe that what Zhao Fuxiang said was right.

Just when Zhao Heng came, Zhao Fuxiang took his son to look at the sugar factory. Zhao Heng had something on his mind right now, so he didn't have the time to look at it. After a while, he asked: "Dad, let's go back. I think they are ready!"

Seeing his son like this, Zhao Fuxiang felt funny in his heart. It seemed that his son still didn't understand women!

"Okay, since you want to go back, let's go back!"

Zhao Fuxiang gave the workers a few more words before taking his son back to Haidian Island.

When Zhao Heng returned home, he saw the maid still standing at the door. When he stepped forward to ask, he found out that they hadn't come out yet and were both changing clothes!

Seeing his son heaving a sigh of relief, Zhao Fuxiang smiled and said, "Have you seen that, no matter how old women are, it is their nature to be unpunctual!" After Zhao Fuxiang finished speaking, he looked at the sky, it was noon, and then said: "We are here

Just wait at the door, they will be out in another hour!"

Zhao Heng had no choice but to take two chairs and sit at the door to wait. As Zhao Fuxiang expected, it took a full hour for the two grandmothers to come out of their respective rooms.

The first person to come out was Sun Jing. The clothes of the Ming Dynasty were originally complicated. In addition to the inner coat, there were also outer coats, bijia, etc. Finally, they had to get a peony hairdo that only noble ladies could wear. This hair style alone took half of the hair.

At this time, peony hair was popular in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and later gradually became popular throughout the country. This hair style is seven inches high, which can highlight the tall figure of women. It was a popular hairstyle among the people in the Ming Dynasty.

There is no problem with peony hair, but there is a problem with Sun Jing's hair style. Sun Jing is 1.7 meters tall. Women from the Northeast are originally strong, but now they wear their hair in a seven-inch-high hair style, making it look like Sun Erniang was still alive.

.

Sun Jing prepared for more than an hour, and when she came out and saw her son and husband there, she quickly smiled and said: "Husband, son, what do you think of me? Do you want to talk to the imperial wife in the book?"

In fact, Sun Jing is not ugly, otherwise Zhao Fuxiang would not have used tricks to get on the bus first and then buy the ticket. Northeastern women have big bones, and Sun Jing has gained weight in his middle age, but wearing this life uniform, she really looks like a noble lady in the book.

Appearance. Zhao Fuxiang likes role-playing the most. When he saw his wife like this, his eyes lit up. He thought that if he had time, he could ask Sun Jing to dress up and play a scene where a noble lady meets a prostitute in the wild.

Just when Zhao Fuxiang and his son were saying insincere words, grandma Ma Guilan also came out. Unlike Sun Jing's red and purple clothes, grandma Ma Guilan was wearing very simple clothes. There was nothing we could do about it. Zhao Fuxiang reported his age when buying clothes.

The boss heard that Ma Guilan was almost 70, so he quickly recommended a very plain shirt, coat, jacket, and bijia. The main color was black and gray. Ma Guilan was originally an intellectual. After putting on this simple outfit

The clothes are really like those of an old lady from a scholarly family.

On the other hand, Sun Jing was different. When the owner of the ready-made clothing store heard about Sun Jing's age and Zhao Fuxiang wanted to buy the best clothes, he directly recommended this set of robes. Although the robes in the Ming Dynasty were worn by famous wives, they were not popular in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

Etiquette and law have been abolished, and many ordinary people also spend money to make a set of life clothes to wear and enjoy it, so life clothes are sold in ready-made clothing stores. However, this kind of clothes is only worn when there is something important at home. As for Sun Jing,

Dressing ostentatiously in the market is like wearing an evening dress to go to the vegetable market in later generations. It looks awkward no matter how you look at it.

Sun Jing saw Ma Guilan coming out and asked with a smile: "Mom, are you going too?"

Ma Guilan also smiled and said: "Yes, how can the old lady not take a look at such a big thing? If you find someone you don't like, you will be in trouble!"

Seeing the two grandmothers holding guns and sticks here, Zhao Fuxiang said quickly: "Since we have to go, let's go. But we probably won't be able to go to Zhang's house today, so we can only stay in Fucheng for one night."

Although Qiongzhou Prefecture is only ten miles away from Haikou Wei, Ma Guilan is almost 70 and cannot ride in a fast carriage, so he can only ride in a stable sedan. The ten miles will take more than an hour to walk on foot.

By the time we got to the river, it was almost dark when we arrived in Fucheng, so naturally the Zhang family couldn't go.

Ma Guilan didn't care, she smiled and said: "It's been more than a month since we arrived in this era, and we haven't seen what a big city is like. We will live in Fucheng today! My son, didn't you buy a house in Fucheng? We will go there tonight.

Live there!”

Sun Jing didn't know that Zhao Fuxiang had bought a house in Fucheng. After hearing what her mother-in-law said, she quickly asked: "Zhao Fuxiang, you have grown up now. How dare you not discuss such a big thing as buying a house with me?"

Zhao Fuxiang smiled and said: "It's just a small house for temporary rest!"

Of course Sun Jing didn't believe Zhao Fuxiang's lies, and made up her mind that if she went to find other women, she would make Zhao Fuxiang look good.

The family of four dressed up and left Haidian Island. After more than two hours of trekking, they arrived at the south gate of Qiongzhou Prefecture.

Ma Guilan opened the sedan curtain and looked at the south gate, and said: "It seems that this city is not very good, it is just a large Haikou."

Zhao Heng also came to Fucheng for the first time. He looked around curiously. When he saw the refugees begging for food at the door, he was as surprised as Zhao Fuxiang when he saw the refugees for the first time. He asked: "Dad, why are these refugees so

Tragic, aren’t the refugees in our family like this?”

"Those who come to our home are all selected. The ones here are the real refugees. Take a good look!"

In fact, after the riots at the wharf outside Dongcheng a few days ago, the government increased its efforts to provide relief to the refugees. In addition, Zhao Fuxiang found a way out for the refugees through work. There are many fewer refugees who come to Nancheng to beg for food. In the past, every person in Nancheng was here.

Thousands of refugees had gathered every day, but now there are less than a hundred. This is all due to Zhao Fuxiang!

Entering the city, the appearance of the city is far less shocking to the Zhao family than the city wall. Fortunately, Hainan Island is a tropical island with abundant rainfall. The dusty weather in northern cities does not appear on the streets, so walking on Fucheng Street
Chapter completed!
