Chapter 106: Shocked and heard the bad news

Luojiadian Chen Wanrong was the most familiar with it. At that time, it was to get rid of poverty and bear huge pressure on life. But today it was relaxed, and the old place revisited has different feelings, which was particularly familiar and intimate.

Chen Wanrong felt this way, and Chen Laoshi and his wife felt it the same. Chen Laoshi, who was quick-mouthed, kept spinning his eyes, pointing and loudly illuminating his beautiful feelings: "Look, that's Master Zhang's blacksmith shop. Every time he came here, he would find water to drink, but it was closed today."

Zhang Deming and Chen Zairong have a good relationship, so naturally it would be better to treat Chen Hushi. It would be very common for him to come here to drink a bowl of hot water. A bowl of hot water is nothing. The reason why Chen Hushi remembers it is because Zhang Deming is really kind to him, which is much better than indifference to Li Qingquan.

"Wanrong, is Master Zhang doing well in the Weapon Supervision?" Chen Wang still remembers Zhang Deming's help from Chen Zairong: "Master Zhang is a good man, he has helped Zairong so much."

After Zhang Deming went to the Weapons Prison, he had no contact. As for whether it was good or not, Chen Wanrong speculated: "Mom, Master Zhang's life in the Weapons Prison must not be bad. At least, it is much better than setting up a blacksmith stall here."

Mrs. Chen was very dissatisfied with this guess: "Wanrong, you don't care about it, what a good person!"

The weapons supervisor is an official institution, equivalent to the current national defense industry. Chen Wanrong, a commoner, had no idea if he wanted to care about it. He smiled and said, "Mom, I'll go to Chang'an to inquire next time."

Luojiadian is still so lively, with people coming and going, shouting and shouting. "Hu cake, mutton soaking Hu cake!" A less pure shouting sounded. Chen Wanrong saw that it turned out that the Hu people from the mutton restaurant were shouting at the top of their voices.

Thinking of the scene when I was eating mutton steamed buns with Chen Zairong that day, Chen Wanrong was particularly friendly and greedy. If he were the only one of him, he would definitely have a full meal. Let’s reminisce about the feeling of having to go to the restaurant with only a little money, which would definitely be great.

I walked through the street and came to Li Qingquan's workshop. Before I even arrived at the workshop, I saw a team of carriages coming out of the workshop, carrying goods, and galloping onto the official road.

"Mr. Li's business is getting more and more prosperous!" Zheng Jianqiu poked out his head and exclaimed.

Zheng Jianqiu is Li Qingquan's biggest customer. Look at this attitude, the goods he brought were a little less than the goods he picked up by Zheng Jianqiu. Chen Wanrong was a little curious and asked, "Who picked up the goods?"

"The Gaojia Shop in Chang'an!" Zheng Jianqiu replied, smiling and said, "These are all customers Wanrong asked for, don't you know?"

"I'm looking for it?" Chen Wanrong was stunned at first, and then he realized that on the day Chen Wanrong opened, Li Qingquan came to congratulate him. Because of Chen Wanrong's relationship, he unexpectedly got in touch with the Gaoma family. Li Qingquan was smart and knew how to do business, so he must have seized the opportunity to do something special.

Xiao Linzi took the convoy out and happened to see Chen Wanrong and the others. She looked surprised, then she was filled with joy and ran away. Chen Wanrong didn't have to think about it, so he must have told Li Qingquan to come and greet the guests.

Needless to say, Zheng Jianqiu, the biggest customer, will welcome Li Qingquan in jewellery every time he comes. Chen Wanrong's identity has changed now, and his net worth is only a lot higher than Li Qingquan. What's more important is that the tanning agent he wants is still supplied by Chen Wanrong. If there are no Chen Wanrong's raw materials, no matter how many customers he has, it will be useless, and he must welcome him in jewellery.

As Chen Wanrong expected, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Qingquan jogging over with a big belly, with a warm smile on his face layer by layer, and shouted from afar: "Old Master Zheng, sister-in-law, Wanrong, Brother Chen, sister-in-law, has the wind blowing you?" There were too many people. Before he could finish calling Renming, he rushed to the front and helped Zheng Jianqiu get out of the car, extremely excited.

"Old man, I miss me so much!" Li Qingquan took Zheng Jianqiu's hand and made a close touch, as if the two of them were wearing a pair of pants.

Zheng Jianqiu bowed his fists and said, "Old man, how are you doing lately?"

"Thank you for your blessing, okay!" Li Qingquan opened his mouth and said many good words in one breath. It can be seen that he was in a good mood, better than ever before.

After chatting with Zheng Jianqiu, Li Qingquan turned to Zheng Zhou and said, "Li Qingquan has seen his sister-in-law's wife. His sister-in-law's wife is here, and the tent is full of glory. It's honor and honor!"

Zheng Zhou Fu Yifu said, "Announcing the old man."

"My sister-in-law has a serious word, but she has a serious word!" Li Qingquan greeted Zheng Jianqiu and his wife and were about to come to meet Chen Wanrong. In his mind, Zheng Jianqiu, the big customer, is the first, and Chen Wanrong, the monopoly supplier who strangled him, is the second. After seeing Zheng Jianqiu, he naturally has to see Chen Wanrong first.

Unfortunately, Chen Laoshi stopped him. Chen Laoshi's eyes widened and looked at Li Qingquan with great excitement: "Old man, how much does your bucket cost now? How many do I have at home? Can you give me a good price?"

Li Qingquan's price reduction has really hurt Chen Houshi. He has tried not to do it for him many times, but considering that if he didn't have this business, he would not be able to raise money for Chen Zairong's study, so he had to endure it. Now it's different. With a wealth and status, it's time to be proud and get a bargain.

I knew what I did. Li Qingquan understood what he meant. He was embarrassed when he heard this. Fortunately, he was thick-skinned and slapped it on his left face, making him smile even more kindly: "Big Brother, aren't you breaking me? How dare I ask for Big Brother's bucket? Big Brother, please spare me!"

Although it was not clear that the mistake was correct, it was almost done. Chen Houshi felt happy and nodded, and laughed loudly: "Old man, if you need a bucket, tell me, I'll make it for you. It won't cost much, and it's only 60 cents!"

After hearing this, Li Qingquan wished he could get into the crack in the ground and laughed repeatedly.

The greetings between the two were full of gunpowder. Zheng Qing was confused and asked with a smile: "My husband, what's wrong with uncle?"

"He used to suppress our barrel price, but it was amazing, from 120 to 80 cents!" Although Chen Wanrong did not agree with Chen Hushi's approach, when he remembered what happened before, he still felt comfortable in his ears. He smiled and let Chen Hushi do it.

Zheng Qing suddenly realized and blinked: "My husband, have you brought the price of the barrel back?"

It was Yiren who knew me, Chen Wanrong nodded and admitted. Zheng Qing covered her mouth and smiled: "I guess he must have suffered a loss, so he still has to applaud, right?"

Thinking of the time when he raised the price of the barrel, Li Qingquan said it was too much. In order to seek poetry, Chen Wanrong nodded with a smile.

The barrel price has always been a pain in the Chen family's heart. Chen Wang was quite satisfied with it. He laughed and saw no traces of his eyes. He whispered to Chen Wanrong: "Wanrong, look, he really took us seriously today." He straightened his chest and felt particularly comfortable.

The old story is mentioned again, but I just want to have fun, just forget it. Chen Wanrong is afraid that Chen Zhongshi will be entangled in this matter again, so he walked over and clasped his fists: "I have met the old man! Mr., please don't come?"

Chen Wanrong's rescue was really great, and it was raining in time! Li Qingquan hurriedly clasped his fists and replied: "Meng Wanrong is concerned about it, it's not bad, this is all thanks to Wanrong!" He climbed Chen Wanrong's shoulder, lowered his voice and whispered in Chen Wanrong's ear: "Wanrong, I have earned this year." He stretched out three fingers.

It means that he made 3,000 taels of silver, which was the profit he had only made in four or five years. Moreover, it is April now, at this rate, it is no problem to make tens of thousands of taels of silver this year.

Ten thousand taels of silver are naturally nothing to the rich, but in Luojiadian, he is a big among the rich, so how can Li Qingquan be unhappy?

"Congratulations to the old man!" Chen Wanrong knew that he was unwilling to speak out, so he lowered his voice to congratulate him.

Li Qingquan smiled and couldn't even close his mouth: "Wanrong, this is all your credit. If it weren't for you, how could I have made so much? I would have made this number just by fox fur." ​​He stretched out his two fingers, which was two thousand taels.

It was Chen Wanrong's idea for him to make fox furs. It was Chen Wanrong's relationship with Gaoma and the two families could get online. Chen Wanrong's tanning agent was used to make tanning agents, and Chen Wanrong's mark was stamped everywhere. If it weren't for Chen Wanrong, he would never have made such a big deal. He was grateful to Chen Wanrong from the bottom of his heart, so he made the achievements as soon as he met.

"Where is it, the old man is so serious. This is the result of your hard work, so I will not make any contribution!" Chen Wanrong maintained his usual humble style.

Li Qingquan laughed loudly, letting go of Chen Wanrong, and then went to meet Zheng Qing and the others. After the ceremony, he invited everyone into the house to serve tea. Chen Chen was the happiest. He came to deliver a bucket before, but Li Qingquan ignored him and rarely asked for a bowl of tea. Today, not only did he drink tea, but he was also the best tea in Qingcheng Xueya. There was no need to describe the joy.

Accompanied by Li Qingquan, Chen Wanrong stood up and said, "Old man, I will say goodbye first, I will go to Xishan." This place is closer to Xishan, and buying anthracite is important to go to Xishan.

Li Qingquan could not put it on, so he grabbed it and said, "Wanrong, never, never!"

Chen Wanrong knew that he was sincerely trying to keep him, and he would definitely not let him go if he didn't tell the matter away, so he had to explain: "The old man doesn't know anything. I'll go to Xishan to buy black stones and take them back when I go back." The villagers called the anthracite from Xishan, and if they say it, he would definitely not understand it.

"Wanrong, how much do you want? I'll ask someone to buy it for you immediately. How can you ask you to go there?" Li Qingquan grabbed Chen Wanrong's hand and acted like he was determined not to let go.

The reason why Li Qingquan's business is so prosperous is entirely due to Chen Wanrong. If he could not even meet these small requirements, he would be a failure in life.

Knowing that he wasn't talking casually, Chen Wanrong had no choice but to say, "Old man, that's a laborious man. It doesn't take too much, it's enough to have a hundred pounds."

"Wanrong, sit down, I'll make arrangements now, and you're satisfied." Li Qingquan let go of Chen Wanrong and walked away quickly. He came back soon and smiled and said, "Wanrong, I'm going to Xiaolinzi. Xiaolinzi is safe in doing things and will not mislead you."

Xiaolinzi is steady and flexible in doing things. She is Li Qingquan’s number one confidant. Chen Wanrong has to feel relieved even if he is worried and thanks with a smile.

Li Qingquan accompanied everyone for a while, and then led everyone around. At noon, Li Qingquan held a banquet to invite him. Today, the banquet was full of not only the food from Luojiadian, but also the delicious food from Ning County. I guess someone was sent to Ning County to buy it. It is rare to have such a sumptuous food in Luojiadian, a small countryside. It can be said that Li Qingquan has made his best efforts.

Say some interesting words, tell some old things, and have a happy time. Chen Laoshi's grudge against Li Qingquan no longer exists. He has enough wine and food, and he has all the fun.

The wife is virtuous, the daughter has a lifelong responsibilities, the son is capable, the son-in-law is smart, the family is happy, and the career is successful. This is a man's dream! Zheng Jianqiu took all of it, he was the happiest, he drank the most, and got off the table dizzyly. Li Qingquan hurriedly asked someone to cook a bowl of sober soup, Zheng Jianqiu leaned on the chair, Zheng Zhou's soup, Zheng Qing beats the back, Zheng Wanru pinches his legs, Chen Wanrong is busy taking care of him, and he looks like a picture of a virtuous wife and a filial son. Zheng Jianqiu is overjoyed, and laughs.

Chen Zhen was jealous of this scene and whispered in Chen Wang's ear: "It would be great if Ai Rong was here!" Chen Zairong never came home since he went to the East Palace, so he naturally missed him.

Chen Wangshi also misses her beloved son, but she thinks farther than Chen Zhongshi: "Old man, don't always think about being honored. If you grow up, you have his own things to do, don't miss his future!"

Children are always greater than themselves, which is an inequality in the minds of parents. Chen Chen nodded in recognition.

It was not until Zheng Jianqiu was almost awake that he smiled and came to the yard. When Chen Wanrong looked at it, he saw a carriage parked in the yard, which was filled with shiny black anthracite. It was not a hundred kilograms, but not far from three hundred kilograms.

Zheng Qing rushed over quickly, stretched out her white jade hand and picked up a piece of anthracite, and said with a smile: "My husband, can you make glass?"

The stove has been built, the crucible is in place, and the coal is also available. You only need to get some quartz sand to make it. Chen Wanrong nodded and said, "Yes!"

"Then let's go back and do it. Anyway, there's nothing to do, let's do it first." Zheng Qing couldn't wait.

Zheng Jianqiu was the first to echo: "Yes, the girl is right. When I go back to do it, I have long wanted to see this shiny thing."

Zheng Zhou also responded: "Yes! Let's go back and do it."

After playing for a day, it was almost done. Chen Wanrong nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back now."

After reaching a consensus, he told Li Qingquan that Li Qingquan would not let him go. Zheng Jianqiu made a lot of comments before he could understand "ideological work". Li Qingquan sent Xiao Linzi to drive a car to deliver it.

Everyone wanted to see the glass earlier, and they were very excited, so they moved as soon as they said that, and set off immediately and returned home. Along the way, they talked about things related to glass, and the use of glass is their most concerned thing.

Chen Wanrong told them that glass could be made into wine glasses, crystal clear and transparent. Zheng Jianqiu immediately said that I must float three big glasses! When Chen Wanrong told Zheng Qing that glass could be made into a mirror, beautiful stars appeared in Zheng Qing's eyes. In the Tang Dynasty, people used bronze mirrors, but there was no glass mirror, so she couldn't do it without longing for it.

"Qing, actually glass can also be used as windows. With glass windows, it has good light and ventilation, and it lives dry and clean, suitable for home furnishings. When I make glass, I will build a house and make our bridal chamber." Chen Wanrong lowered his voice and whispered beside Zheng Qing.

This sentence has the banter and teasing element. Zheng Qing was so embarrassed that she blushed. She glanced at Chen Wanrong and nodded gently. If she really wanted to get married in such a house, that would be the best gift. How could Zheng Qing, as a Tang Dynasty man, not be happy?

The attractiveness of glass is really great. Zheng Jianqiu and the others did not go home, but went directly to the old house, preparing to help Chen Wanrong make glass.

However, their good mood disappeared as soon as they arrived at the old house. As soon as they entered the yard, they saw Zhao Xiaotian and others patrolling. Chen Wanrong was very surprised and jumped off his horse and walked over quickly: "I have seen Zhao Biaotou. Can you ask Zhao Biaotou, is there anything wrong?"

If something didn't happen, Zhao Xiaotian wouldn't have come in person. If something didn't happen, he wouldn't have sent so many people. If something happened, it would be just a euphemism that something happened.

Zhao Xiaotian looked at Chen Wanrong and breathed a sigh of relief: "Shopkeeper Chen, you'll be fine if you come back."

Zheng Wanru and the others surrounded him and stared at Zhao Xiaotian, all of whom had a premonition that something had happened.

Zheng Jianqiu's mind was much more flexible. He didn't want to make these things public. He smiled and said, "Tao Zhao, let's talk in the house. Girl, make some tea." This was to send Zheng Qing and the others away.

Although Zheng Qing wanted to know what happened, she still responded and called Chen Hushi and his wife, Zheng Zhou, Zheng Wanru and Qing'e away. Chen Wanrong praised Zheng Qing's cleverness from the bottom of his heart and said, "Tao Zhao, please come in the room."

Zhao Xiaotian followed Chen Wanrong into the house. Chen Wanrong asked Zhao Xiaotian and Zheng Jianqiu to sit down. Zhao Xiaotian knew that the relationship between Chen and Zheng was very close, so he didn't go around the corner and said straight: "Old Master Zheng, Shopkeeper Chen, there was a bad guy who wanted to set fire to the house last night!"
