Chapter 112: Disaster falls from heaven

After the doctor said goodbye, Chen Wanrong paid the money and left Huichuntang. The matter was done and he should go home. He took Glauber's salt and took a few steps. He stopped suddenly, pondered for a moment, and rushed to Yuan Tiancheng's kiln.

When I came to the kiln, I saw it as lively as before. The guy was busy loading the goods. Yuan Tiancheng stood at the door and looked at it with a smile on his face, very happy. Chen Wanrong walked up and said, "I have met Manager Yuan."

Yuan Tiancheng was fascinated by the sight, and then he turned around when he heard the sound. When he saw it was Chen Wanrong, the smile on his face became even more: "Oh, who am I talking about? It's Storekeeper Chen! The wind blows you? Hurry up, serve tea in the room."

Chen Wanrong thanked him politely and followed him into the house. He came to the house, put down Glauber's salt, sat on the chair, Yuan Tiancheng served tea, looked at the oil paper bag, and asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper Chen, I shouldn't have asked, but we are so friendly. I'm rude. What's in the bag?"

It is impolite to inquire like this, but as he said, their friendship is good, so what's wrong with asking. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "A little bit of Glauber's salt."

"Glauber's salt? So much! Storekeeper Chen, what are you going to do?" Yuan Tiancheng was curious.

Chen Wanrong drank tea and said with a smile: "I dare not refuse to answer when asked by the shopkeeper Yuan."

"What a glass?" Yuan Tiancheng blurted out and blurted out.

Chen Wanrong did not explain to him, but said straightforwardly: "Shopkeeper Yuan, I came here to make glass this time and encountered difficulties. I would like to ask you to do me a favor and make some molds."

Yuan Tiancheng shook his hand: "Shopkeeper Chen, you are so serious, so I'm very helping. If you have any questions, just give me instructions and I will do it for you."

Chen Wanrong said a little embarrassedly: "Last time, I asked you to make a few molds, but that is another purpose. I suddenly thought that glass can be used as wine glasses. I want to ask you to make a few molds of wine glasses for me to cast."

"What are the benefits of glass wine glass?" Yuan Tiancheng became even more confused.

Chen Wanrong smiled and explained to him: "Shopkeeper Yuan, I'm going to tell you that this glass of wine is not as expensive as a luminous glass, nor so grand and beautiful than a luminous glass. But it has the same advantage, that is, transparency. If you put the wine in it, you can see the crystal clear wine."

The biggest advantage of glass is transparency. For modern people, this is common sense, and for Tang people, it is a strange thing. When Yuan Tiancheng heard this, his eyes widened and asked, "Be serious? Put it in wine and hold it in his hand. Isn't that similar to holding amber?"

"That's right." Chen Wanrong affirmed and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Yuan has helped me a lot. This time, when I make it, I will give you a pair. When you have nothing to do, find someone to accompany you and raise your glasses to drink together. What a joy it is!"

Yuan Tiancheng has never given any discount to Chen Wanrong's affairs and has helped Chen Wanrong very much. Chen Wanrong has long wanted to give him some gifts, but has never found a suitable one. Now he wants to make glass and make some glass wine glasses to give them as gifts. Zheng Jianqiu, Yuan Tiancheng, Wu Jing and others are all among the gifts because they have helped Chen Wanrong very much.

If you give a glass of wine in modern society, you will definitely say that it is only a few dollars. It was the same in the Tang Dynasty and you must be treated as the most precious gift. It was precisely because of this that Chen Wanrong changed his mind and wanted to make some wine glasses.

Yuan Tiancheng is a man who loves wine and is even more concerned about this wine vessel. When he heard this, he was so happy that he shook his hands: "How can that happen? No, no! Shopkeeper Chen, tell me quickly, how do you do it?" His eyes narrowed to a small slit.

Chen Wanrong expressed his thoughts: "Now I can only cast it. Manager Yuan is an expert and thinks it is better to cast it."

Yuan Tiancheng thought for a moment and said, "If you want the wine glass, you will get divided into three parts, and the mold is divided into two, and a solid one is added. I think that Manager Chen will still need to use the mold in the future. This mold should be able to be flexibly disassembled and assembled, so it will take some time to use the wooden board."

Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Yuan, don't worry, do it slowly, I'll wait." Although all the preparations are done, it's useless without molds, and you have to wait before you can wait.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Chen, for your trust, I will do it well!" Yuan Tiancheng was in high spirits while thinking about the wine glass.

Chen Wanrong was not polite, so he picked up the ink ingot and drew it on the paper: "My wine glass is different from the past, it is a high-legged wine glass." As far as I remember, the style of a high-legged wine glass was raised.

Yuan Tiancheng looked at it and his eyes shone brightly, saying, "Good style, good style! Shopkeeper Chen, why didn't you draw it earlier? I just follow this style and I have to pull many customers? Shopkeeper Chen, thank you." He bowed with his fists.

Tall wine glasses are very popular in modern society, but they must be considered new styles in the Tang Dynasty. Even the expensive glass glasses are not tall, similar to the current cups, but they are slightly thinner in the middle and slightly larger at both ends. Yuan Tiancheng was first seen in his life. He was amazed and smelled business opportunities with his sensitive sense of smell, and he would not be happy.

If there were no long feet, the glass would be too monotonous. After all, the glass does not have the beautiful colors as glass. Long feet are a good decoration. It is especially popular in modern society with high-legged glass wine glasses. It is precisely because of this that Chen Wanrong decided to make a long-legged glass. Unexpectedly, it touched Yuan Tiancheng's inspiration and was ready to attract customers. He smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Yuan, you really have you, so smart!"

This smart business mind is really convincing. Yuan Tiancheng shook his hand and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, the words are serious. If such an obvious thing is not used to attract customers, he will live to a dog at this age. Storekeeper Chen, I have to make this mold for you. I will make a carcass first, burn out a wine glass, and then use this wine glass as a model to make the mold, and the size and shape will be the same."

This is a good idea. Chen Wanrong agreed and told him: "Shopkeeper Yuan, the mold should be placed on the ground and must be placed flat, otherwise the appearance will not look good." If the mold is not flat, the cup mouth will vary in height due to the tilt, which will affect the appearance. It is impossible to process it in the process now. Although this is a small detail, it is very important.

Yuan Tiancheng touched his beard and nodded, "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Chen, I will pay attention. Shopkeeper Chen, such a good baby must have the mark of Chen's chemical engineering, and also have to obtain a bold name. If you think about it, I will make it on the mold."

This idea was great. Chen Wanrong praised it with a high-five and thought about it and said, "It's called a glass bottle."

Yuan Tiancheng thought and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, I'm sorry, this name doesn't sound very nice. Otherwise, it's called the Amber Cup."

Although the name glass is strange to the Tang people, it is indeed not as attractive as amber. The name Amber Cup is well achieved. Chen Wanrong nodded and praised: "Thank you to the shopkeeper Yuan for giving it a name."

"I'm embarrassed to help me so much." Yuan Tiancheng was very happy and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, I'll do it for you now. It will be fine in one or two days."

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Then I'll have a hard time, I'll say goodbye first." Yuan Tiancheng wanted to keep him, but Chen Wanrong didn't want to take responsibility for making a mold, so he left.

When he got home and put the Glauber's salt in, Xiao Shangrong followed him in: "Brother, look, is this done?" He handed over half a bowl of charcoal powder. Chen Wanrong looked at it and was as thin as flour, and was very satisfied: "It's OK. Where is feldstone?"

"It's smashed. Go and have a look." Xiao Shangrong's voice raised, and he answered happily.

Chen Wanrong went to the room where feldstones were piled and saw that he smashed about 30 kilograms of feldstones. The small one was the size of a chopstick, and the size of a finger was as big as a finger. He worked well: "It would be the size of a wine glass, and it would be too thin. This would be better."

"Brother, you didn't say it earlier. I thought it would be as thin as the river sand." Xiao Shangrong breathed a sigh of relief, and then he felt relieved.

He asked Xiao Shangrong to go and go to the carpenter to look at the bellows. As soon as he entered the house, he saw several carpenters gathering in a circle, pointing and laughing constantly.

"Boss, look, is this suitable?" Wang Zhongze was sharp-eyed and was the first to see Chen Wanrong.

Chen Zhen asked for help and said, "Wanrong, come and see, it's very useful."

Chen Wanrong went over and saw a bellows on the ground, and a carpenter was holding a pull rod and pushing and pulling. The wind blew at the exit, causing the wood chips on the ground to fly. Wang Zhongze hurriedly reminded: "Be gentle, there are dust everywhere."

"I'll try it!" Chen Wanrong suddenly saw the bellows and remembered the bellows at home in another time and space. He felt very kind and was in high spirits. He rolled up his sleeves.

The carpenter hurriedly moved away. Chen Wanrong squatted down and held the pull rod. It was a double rod, not a single rod. When he pulled it hard, it became a bit heavy. After pulling it, it became lighter. The whistle wind sounded, and the wood chips on the ground were flying. Chen Laoshi was standing in front of the wind and blew all over his body, complaining: "Wanrong, you won't be gentle. Look at you, I've been shaking all over my body!" While saying that, several carpenters nearby were busy slapping the wood chips on their bodies.

"Dad, you know that wind is coming here, and you want to be cooler, can I not be more filial?" Chen Wanrong joked, which attracted a lot of laughter, which made Chen Chen feel embarrassed and opened his mouth wide and didn't know what to say.

He pushed in and the wind suddenly sounded, and there were more wood chips. The bellows were absolutely useful, and he praised: "Good."

After hearing Chen Wanrong's praise, Wang Zhongze was particularly happy and explained: "Our family, we will follow your requirements completely, tangerine wood box, locust tree poles, beeswax oil, bamboo nails, and donkey skin glue."

In a good mood, Chen Wanrong asked with a smile: "Do you still remember that riddle?"

"Remember! Two foxes fight in Dongaoli and Xi'aoli, and they still scold them." Several carpenters answered in unison. They said far away, and laughed again together, laughing for a moment, and they were particularly happy.

Chen Wanrong stood up and said, "I originally wanted to do something tomorrow, but there is still something that is not good. It will take a day or two to keep it."

Two carpenters carried the bellows and put them next to them. Chen Wanrong had nothing to do for a moment and looked around.

"Wanrong, come quickly, someone is looking for you." Chen Wangshi rushed over and said whispering in Chen Wanrong's ear, very nervous.

In the past, if someone looked for Chen Wanrong, Chen Wang would yell from afar. For the first time, he encountered such a whisper like today. Chen Wanrong was surprised and asked, "Mom, who is it?"

Chen Wangshi gave Chen Wanrong a blank look: "Speak softly! I don't know. This person is so weird, covering his face, I don't know him. However, it seems that he has seen the figure somewhere, but I just can't remember it."

Who would be an acquaintance who didn't want to be like a human being in his true face? Chen Wanrong was surprised and hurriedly followed Chen Wangshi and came to the living room. Chen Wangshi pointed to the door and whispered: "Inside."

Chen Wanrong pushed open the door and closed it. He saw a big man sitting in the room. He was wearing a big body, wearing ordinary clothes, and his hat was low, covering his head and face. He couldn't see who it was. As Chen Wang said, he was very familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"Please forgive me for being stupid and I dare to ask for my name Gao." Chen Wanrong bowed his fists and bowed.

The big man put down the teacup in his hand and smiled and said, "The nobleman Chen forgot about things, so he naturally can't remember Ou." He took off his hat and looked at Chen Wanrong with bright eyes.

Chen Wanrong almost jumped up: "It's Captain Ou, I don't recognize you why you dress like this."

The person who came was none other than Ning County's headmaster Ou Sheng. His index finger was raised to his mouth, signaling Chen Wanrong to whisper, and lowered his voice: "Shopkeeper Chen, Ou came to hand you something, you must be careful."

Chen Wanrong knew that he understood what he meant. It must be that Shen Que told him when he left and told him that he had something to inform Chen Wanrong. He smiled and said, "Captain Ou, what does this mean?"

Ou Sheng did not answer directly, but stared at Wu Qing on Chen Wanrong's neck and asked, "Shopkeeper Chen, why did his neck turn green?"

Chen Wanrong would not tell the truth even if he was beaten to death, and lied: "Captain Ou asked, I was telling the truth. I went out for a walk last night, but I didn't expect to hit a ghost and pinched it like this."

Ou Sheng asked nervously: "How did you get out?"

"This ghost is afraid of talismans. I know a kind of ghost-exorcist talisman. If you draw a talisman, the ghost will scare away." Chen Wanrong lied and opened his mouth.

Ou Sheng asked again: "Did the ghost come back?"

Chen Wanrong still used a ghost to say things: "It's okay, I didn't bump into it again."

"Ghosts are released by humans. The ghosts are gone. The ghost master is in a hurry. Manager Chen, you have to be careful." Ou Sheng implied Chen Wanrong.

Chen Wanrong knew that what he meant was that You Siping and Liu Side were in the same group. Now that Liu Side is gone, You Siping is angry and might be in trouble for Chen Wanrong.

According to Chen Wanrong's speculation, Liu Side was here to kill Chen Wanrong, and You Siping was here to replace Shen Que. In this matter, Chen Wanrong and Shen Que deserved to die, and it would be enough to ask Chen Wanrong to die an assassin. As for Shen Que, his crime was quite serious, so someone would naturally deal with him when sent to Chang'an. He used the law to judge the crime, and the murder was so upright that there was no need to cause trouble.

Now that Liu Side has killed Chen Wanrong, You Siping will not see anyone else, so he will naturally suspect Chen Wanrong and will attack Chen Wanrong. Ou Sheng must have heard the news, so he came to report the message. Chen Wanrong held his fists and thanked him: "Captain Xie Ou reminds me. Can you ask Ou, how will the ghost master deal with me?"

Ou Shengluo thought for a while and said, "I don't know very well, I guess it's just dirty things. Manager Chen, if there is a misfortune, I will do my best."

He was telling Chen Wanrong that if You Siping wanted to capture Chen Wanrong, he would not be able to fight against him openly and would take care of him secretly, at least he could make Chen Wanrong less suffering.

"Captain Xie Ou." Chen Wanrong was very grateful for his intentions.

Ou Sheng thought for a while and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, you'd better leave Ning County and go for a walk in Chang'an."

It means that Chen Wanrong is temporarily avoiding the limelight, but he is not expecting that as the magistrate of Ning County, You Siping is determined to cause trouble for Chen Wanrong, and can only avoid it for a while, not for a lifetime. Unless You Siping dies or is transferred, this problem can only be solved.

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Catcher Xie Ou's kindness is just a stopgap solution, not the fundamental way to solve the problem."

Ou Sheng touched his chin: "If you want to solve the problem fundamentally, there is no way. Manager Chen can go to the East Palace to find Lingdi and ask him to speak to the prince."

This is a good way, but in this way, Chen Zairong will carry a burden. Maybe the prince underestimates him and will definitely not do anything about his future. Chen Wanrong shook his head and said, "Mr. Shen said this, but I thought I could not do this. I guess Captain Ou knew the reason."

If the people around the prince plead for their family, the prince would definitely be disdainful. Ou Sheng sighed lightly: "Shopkeeper Chen, I'd like to do my own things. I can only do my best."

You Siping is a county Ning. If you want to deal with Chen Wanrong, he, the captain, is mostly in secret and cannot do it. It is already a great deal for him to achieve this level. Chen Wanrong held his fists and thanked him: "Captain Ou has deep affection and friendship, I feel grateful to you here."

Ou Sheng put the hat on and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, take care of me, I'll say goodbye." Chen Wanrong was not allowed to stay and said, "I shouldn't stay for a long time, I have to rush back immediately."

This was necessary. Chen Wanrong sent Ou Sheng away, returned to the house, took out the porcelain bottle from his arms and shook it, making a gurgling sound, put it in his arms, and went around to patrol.

Just as I was watching, I heard a burst of rapid footsteps, and the sound of "catching criminals" came one after another. I rushed to the yard and saw a team of yamen runners rushing in, full of murderous intent.
