Chapter 69: Here it is


"It's actually very simple," Xia Xiaodong said as he wrote, "just add sand to it.

After adding it, it will be harder, less prone to breakage and more durable.

Although there are many mountains in our area of ​​Suzhou, there is very little sand.

Madam asked Junwei to find a way to get some, and then she discovered this usage, which makes more sense. " Sand does not fall from the sky, it is nothing more than river sand or sea sand.

Suzhou has many mountains and little water and is not close to the sea, so the discovery of this usage requires a bit of coincidence.

Let Mrs.

Zhuang figure out the specific coincidence.

"Nowadays, the output of Suzhou stone is still low.

With the addition of sand, wouldn't it double immediately and be cheaper?"

Come out, this thing is perfect for building embankments.”

Mrs.

Zhuang looked at the piece of rice paper with a small number of words, and her breathing became a little heavy.

She reached out and took it, and wanted to fold it, but she felt it was inappropriate.

Finally, she took two more pieces of rice paper, one on the front and one on the front, and sandwiched the piece of paper with words in the middle.

Then he rolled it up carefully.

"I will discuss it with your father later," Mrs.

Zhuang said solemnly: "Once this thing is used, it will not only bring money into your account, but it may also be a great achievement."

Building embankments, preventing floods, no matter which emperor is scratching his head and worrying.

It is certainly a great achievement to find a good way.

Of course, it was impossible to hide such a major event from Xia Bashan, and maybe he could be promoted as a result.

Xia Xiaodong doesn't have to worry about this anymore.

Since she is the daughter of the Xia family, she must also contribute to the Xia family.

What's more, Xia Bashan and Mrs.

Zhuang, as well as several younger brothers and sisters, are all pretty good.

I respect others as much as I respect them.

Xia Xiaodong felt relieved and went to prepare for the draft.

It is far less convenient to explore on your own than to find an expert.

Of course, Xia Xiaodong knew the importance of talents and quickly thought of the right person.

Grandma Ji is very good at drafting.

"It's nothing more than being careful about everything in food, clothing, housing and transportation."

Aunt Ji did not hide anything, and explained each item one by one.

Although he knew a lot of tricks of fighting in the palace and in the house, Xia Xiaodong still humbly wrote down them one by one and prepared to put them into practice.

At that time, you can't bring maids to serve you, you have to rely on yourself for everything.

Are you kidding?

I asked you to be a show girl, not to be the master.

If you become a palace maid later, you will have to serve the nobles.

Even if you are lucky enough to be chosen as a concubine, you will still have to serve the emperor, right?

Why do you need someone to serve you?

Why don't you go wherever it's cool?

In the end, the place for the preliminary selection of prospective young ladies was decided to be a garden to the west of Suzhou City, called Qinyuan, which was the villa of a master who held the title of Juren.

It is said that the poor scholar is rich and the scholar is poor.

There may be some scholar who are poor, but none of the scholar is poor.

If you win the prize, you will be exempted from taxes and labor, and just making a donation will be enough to support you.

Moreover, you can also become an official if you are promoted, but you just have to be a high-ranking official.

The owner of Qinyuan was a promotion official in Suzhou, surnamed Li.

Li Tuiguan is indeed very diligent, and he has taken care of the Qinyuan in an orderly manner.

The flowers and trees are sparse and the winding paths lead to secluded areas.

It is very refreshing to walk in it as it is in summer and early autumn tonight.

Considering that prospective show girls come from all over the place, it is inevitable that they will arrive one after another, and although Qinyuan is large, it cannot accommodate hundreds of people, so the selection of prospective show girls is carried out in batches.

The first group were the ladies who lived nearby in Suzhou City.

Xia Xiaodong was naturally among them.

The treatment for prospective show girls is very average, with six people sharing a room.

Each room is equipped with a maid as standard and a caretaker.

This is the servant Li sent out to care for everyone, otherwise there would be no servants.

On the second day after moving in, Cai Zhongguan from Beijing arrived.

Early in the morning, the standard maid brought six sets of clothes, all identical.

Bi-colored thin blouse and six-piece long moon-white skirt.

Xia Xiaodong finished dressing and looked at the people in the room.

This outfit actually looks pretty good, and the color is good, but it looks like a room full of spring onions.

Thinking of Mrs.

Zhuang's special gift, Xia Xiaodong picked up the sewing box, went to the clean room, selected a few places, and sewed the upper part of the dress and the lower part of the skirt together.

The small part is okay, at least the skirt won't fall off while walking.

Xia Xiaodong was thinking this inexplicably, but at this moment, he didn't expect that it would come true for others later.

The prospective show girls gathered near a waterside pavilion.

Probably when the weather is nice, this is a very spacious and flat place to set up a stage for entertaining guests.

Everyone lined up in the order of their father's and brother's official positions, standing in four rows with two feet between them, making it easier for the palace maids who came down with Cai Zhongguan to check around.

After waiting for more than an hour, seeing the sun gradually moving to the center, the prospective show girls could hardly hold back their energy, and then they saw a group of people coming from a distance.

The person who was put in the front, wearing a purple robe, should be the eunuch Cai Zhong.

As he got closer, he could see more clearly that his face was white and beardless, and there was no knot on the front of his neck.

He indeed looked like a standard eunuch.

It's just that the expression of this eunuch Cai is very serious.

It's not like he's here to do something romantic like being a talent show girl, but like he's here to handle some important national matter.

Yes, the draft is actually a serious matter.

Xia Xiaodong stood tall and looked at the visitor calmly, silently changing his mind.

Magistrate Zhang walked on the right side of Cai Zhong, half a body behind to show respect.

At a glance, he saw that his daughter Zhang Wenjuan was the first in line, and the second in line was naturally Xia Bashan's daughter Xia Xiaodong.

It’s really hard to compare people to each other and compare goods to goods.

On weekdays, when I look at my own children, I like them no matter how I look at them.

I just feel that they are dignified, generous, virtuous and kind, but now I stand with the girl from the Xia family, but no matter what, I can’t You can't be honest and say something bad about someone else's family.

And if nothing else, just that look on his face can make people depressed to death.

Seeing Zhang Wenjuan's cheeks flushed, it was obvious that the heat was almost unbearable.

The sweat on her forehead was flowing down, passing through her eyebrows, leaving a light gray eyebrow pencil mark.

Many girls have it on their faces.

God knows it will take so long.

Although the girl from the Xia family was hot and sweating, there was no trace of her makeup being washed away on her face.

It could be seen that it was pure and natural.

What hurt Magistrate Zhang the most was the curious and faint smile on Xia Xiaodong's face.

She was not willing to give up at all.

There is no intention of being unwilling.

It's like spending a long time thinking and trying to block all other people's paths, leaving only one designated path, thinking that you are manipulating others, but in the end you find that others originally wanted to take this path, but you ended up being the one.

If you jump off the beam, you will become a villain in vain.

What's more, this girl is still his son's treasure, so there is no need to mention the awkwardness in Zhang Zhifu's daughter-in-law, whom he originally liked.

Cai Zhong stood firmly in front of everyone, his eyes swept over the women in the front row one by one.

After a long time, he said: "Everyone has been waiting for a long time."

There was no condolences in his tone.

"However," as expected, the admonition followed: "This is nothing at all":
