Chapter 108 Aunt and Niece

After Renault took off the revolver, Fire spoke and said, "I am the Shennong of Qimen. I originally prepared some gifts. You are proficient in divination, but you can't use them anymore, so I won't give you the gifts."

OK, senior, you can forget it if you talk less, you can even save gifts. Don’t you feel ashamed?

"It just so happens that I have a gift for two seniors." Renault naturally would not come empty-handed when he came to the door for the first time. The gift had been prepared long ago. With the God of Wealth, he would not be short of money.

"Tiger teeth, get a gift." Renault shouted.

As soon as the door opened, Huya walked in with two wicker boxes, put them on the table, turned around and left. He was despised by the boy just now and didn't dare to speak.

"Oh, we have gifts too? Not bad." Bai Jing was happy. He really didn't care about gifts. The secret master was worshipped by the Great Chu. Like Renault, the master who was not short of money cared about Renault's intention.

Renault wanted to cover his face. His gift was not bad, but time was a little tight, there was no materials on the road, and the packaging was not in place, which was embarrassing. When someone took action, he was an antique-grade box with fragrance. When looking at his gift, he only had two wicker boxes. This is the difference.

He had already thought about it in his mind and vigorously develop the packaging industry. No matter what is contained inside, people must see the packaging and feel that it is of high quality.

There were two small boxes in the wicker box. Bai Jing reached out to take out one of them, which was so heavy.

There are gray metal blocks in the box. If you change to an ordinary noble person, your face will definitely not be better now. Are you giving gifts?

The secret master is not an ordinary nobleman. When he sees the gray metal block, his eyes lit up instantly. Is this a test?

Bai Jing took out the revolver as a gift, just to test whether he could open the box and see the revolver's craftsmanship. This is his original intention of giving gifts.

A brass revolver can use a lot of copper, which is worthless, but the process is valuable. It can process a piece of brass into a revolver. It is a shocking work in Dachu. In order to create a revolver, Bai Jing almost vomited blood.

This is brass, which has a soft texture and is easy to process. How about changing it to fine iron?

I really tried Baijing, but the effect was too poor. In the end, I could only use brass. It was obviously much better. It was good to sell the elephant and it would not rust.

Look, touch, peel, cut, except that it was not placed in the furnace to melt, Bai Jing used all the methods that could be used, and his eyebrows were frowned. He was sure that this was not iron or fine iron, but he felt familiar.

He picked up a hammer and smashed it hard. The hammer head legend felt strange, but Bai Jing was overjoyed: "The flying cow broke the iron!"

"Senior Bai is so smart." Renault praised Brother Big Thumb. In fact, he really had no intention of temptation. From Zhu Chongjiu, the secret master cared about this metal very much, so he dissolved two pieces and treated them as a meeting gift.

I always feel a little strange when I only give metal, so in another box, there are eight leaves and ten red ginseng plants each with nine leaves. This is the real gift.

Bai Jing took the flames to take the iron of the flying cows and flowing iron for himself, and the flames were not polite. He belonged to him forty red ginseng plants. He was a farmer and liked plants.

That’s right, it’s just that I like plants, which has nothing to do with the value of red ginseng itself. This is how the secret master is.

"Yongming, pass on the meal." After being excited, it was about to start a meal. Renault is a junior. He is the first time he comes to the house, so of course he has to take care of the meal.

The maid Yongming brought a few female officials in with food boxes, carefully cleaned the tabletop, and then took out the dishes from the food boxes.

After a few bites, I felt it was pretty good, much better than the Southwest. It seems that the secret master’s benefits are pretty good. The disadvantage is that there are too few tricks, they are all steamed dishes and no chili is added.

In the room, eating and chatting, outside the room, Huya and the boy looked at each other disliked each other.

In another room a little further away, Princess Yihe, Chu Jiayi, sat opposite another maid. The maid's background is also quite good, the second daughter of Prince An, Chu Xingyun, and Princess Yongming, Chu Mingxin. The two have known each other since childhood. They are not very different in age, but they are of different seniority.

Chu Mingxin is three years older than Chu Jiayi, now she is nineteen years older than Chu Jiayi. The ninth prince calls her aunt.

"I didn't expect that you will become a secret servant." Chu Mingxin whispered while drinking tea.

"Aunt my aunt is also a maid." The relationship between this aunt and nephew is not very good. Chu Mingxin has been arrogant since childhood and has no other children. Even Chu can't find anyone who can attract attention.

When she reached the age of marriage, she said simply that no one in Dachu could match her, and would rather not marry for the rest of her life, beg her father and beg her to Bai Jing as a maid.

Chu Jiayi is different. She is as gentle as water. She is also a famous royal talented woman in Chu, but she is willing to obey her father's arrangements. This arrangement was arranged to give four gifts and four widows.

The Ninth Princess is very smart. She knows that she has become a trouble, a big trouble. This is true for the royal family or the general. When she is old, she will marry? A royal daughter must join the general. This is the ancestral system. Who can she marry? Who dares to marry?

If you don’t marry, you will lose the royal tradition. If you get married, you will be the opposite. When you meet Renault, you will think of Chu Mingxin’s choice. The Ninth Princess visited her late at night and asked for the position of maid. This is the best result.

"What did you learn?" Chu Mingxin asked. She had already secretly watched Renault. She was too young, and she was probably a few years older than her. Can such a person become a secret master?

"Papermaking." Chu Jiayi said. Fortunately, I learned something, and this aunt is famous for her savage tongue.

Sure enough, Chu Mingxin looked disdainful: "Is there any exquisite official paper?"

"Not as good." Chu Jiayi was very calm. It was indeed worse. There was nothing that could not be said, the key was not quality.

"What's the point?" Chu Mingxin sneered. The art of official paper has been passed down for hundreds of years. It was found before the founding of the Great Chu Kingdom. Is it necessary to learn from the secret master?

"Broken wood, broken grass, grind juice and pulp, it will be done in three days." Chu Jiayi had a smile on the corner of her mouth. I think you are still proud?

"Hu... what you said seriously? Jiayi, you have to know, this cannot be joked about." Chu Mingxin couldn't sit still at that time. What is the concept of three days of caloric formation? As a secret master's maid, can she not know?

"Of course, take it seriously." Chu Jiayi was still indifferent. This is called being calm in the face of changes. It is part of the royal etiquette. Chu Mingxin was shocked just now. For the royal family, this is already a very rude thing. If you put it in the palace, you will teach the nanny to show you the rules.

"But have you learned something else?" Chu Mingxin knew that he was rude and hurriedly sat back and had a tea to suppress his shock.

"The time is too short, I haven't learned anything else."

Three days to make paper, this is a bit scary. No wonder Master Bai keeps food. It seems that Mr. Jiayi is undoubtedly a secret master. Although this Temple of War God seems to be ordinary, the only one who can keep food in that room is the only one who can keep food in Shennong Palace Fire Master and the emperor brother, her father, Prince An, is not because of King An’s identity, but the magic of the earth immortal.

Renault is the fourth person qualified to keep a meal, which made Chu Mingxin feel a little curious. What else could he do except make paper three days?

"Jiayi, tell me what else can your gentleman do? It's impossible that he can only make paper art quickly."

"Of course, but Mr. Making paper..." When he said this, Chu Jiayi blushed. Thinking about the scene at that time, with her intelligence, how could he not know that what Mr. Mai was going to make was not for writing like official paper, but for toilet paper for use in the toilet.

When I think of this, I find it funny. My husband is very talented, but he uses it in such an inappropriate place. Don’t say that when menstruation comes, using toilet paper is much better than a wood ash bag, and it is easier to use and more comfortable.

Take out a wicker box from under the table and put it on the table. It’s shameful to let my aunt think about it by herself: “This is the paper the teacher wants to make, the paper used for writing, but it’s just a by-pass.”

By the way, Chu Mingxin quickly opened the box and saw the paper inside. Although it was sorted out, it still looked wrinkled, and it didn't look like a good paper no matter how you look.

Holding it in her hand, she became even more sure that it was too soft and not fine enough that such paper could not be used to write. She heard Chu Jiayi's words, but she did not understand.

"Jiayi, this paper?" Chu Mingxin dared not doubt the secret master, and even the gentleman admitted that the young man must be the secret master. Even the secret master was the secret master, so she could not help but talk. King An's daughter was not qualified.

"Come on my ears." Chu Jiayi's face turned redder. If I didn't say it, my aunt might not be able to figure it out in a few days.

"Ah!" Chu Jiayi said just one sentence, and Chu Mingxin's face turned red immediately, even more redder than Chu Jiayi's face. After all, it was the first time I heard of such a thing.

"You can tell at a try." The benefits of toilet paper are not nice to say, who knows who uses it. Now Chu Jiayi cannot do without toilet paper for a moment. Thinking about the days she lived in the past, it was so miserable. Fortunately, she came to the teacher's disciple. She wanted to see how many magical things the teacher could bring.

Chu Mingxin blushed, picked up the paper, turned around and left, and came back after two quarters of an hour. Her face was full of redness, not knowing whether it was shy or that she had experienced the benefits of toilet paper.

"It's a good thing, this thing can be sold well." Chu Mingxin said.

"Selling big?" Chu Jiayi was a little confused. She turned this sentence in her mind several times before she understood what her aunt meant. After thinking about it carefully, it was true that this would definitely be a big seller.

"Aunt, are you short of money?" So what if you can make a big deal? A princess and a princess are following their respective gentlemen. What's the use of money?

"The emperor's brother is short of money." They naturally do not lack money, but Da Chu is short of money, and His Majesty Da Chu is short of money, so he is almost madly poor.

"The father is short of money?" Chu Jiayi strictly abides by the palace rules and does not ask about political affairs, so naturally he does not know about the government affairs of the court.

"Well, the river danced last year, and there was another drought and locust plague. This time, the southwest turmoil was turbulent. The Ministry of Revenue should have sent food and grass, but the Ministry of War should have sent iron, but it stopped because the court was short of money and food. Now, there are disasters in the northeast and southeast. They are hungry and eat everywhere, and they change their children to eat. It is said that the refugees have arrived near Shengjing and were stopped by the Yulin Army." Chu Ming said with heartache.

"But... how much money can you earn by selling this toilet paper?" asked the Ninth Princess. I'm afraid that this big thing can't be solved by toilet paper.

"Help a little, it's a little bit." Chu Mingxin sighed lightly.
