In Qin Hanzhen's dowry, there is a large number of furniture, all of which are newly made. I found a team of craftsmen with excellent craftsmanship, specially placed them on the Zhuangzi in Tongzhou, used the canal to transport good timber from the south, pulled it from the wharf to the Zhuangzi, and fought directly there. Although it is generally a traditional style, Qin Hanzhen has also personally seen the drawings and modified them according to his preferences, so that the drawings can be used more comfortably in the future.

This kind of furniture is naturally unique, and there is nowhere else to find it.

Now it is very close to the wedding date of Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo, and on Tongzhou Zhuangzi, the carpenters have almost done their work. The large pieces of furniture have been completed, and there are still some small pieces of flower tables and kang tables that need to be put to rest. On a sunny day, the little steward in charge of the furniture overseer ordered most of the finished furniture to be loaded into a cart and brought back to the city.

The renovated Suning County Royal Mansion has also been completed, and flowers and trees are being raised recently. Although it has not yet come to the day of sending furniture, the palace of Suning County and the mansion of Yongjiahou are so close, and Zhao Mo, the king of Suning County, does not live in the palace, but still stays in the courtyard across the street, and it is no problem to vacate a yard in the palace of the county and store some furniture first. As long as a part of the Yongjiahou Mansion is also stored, it will be sent to the Suning County Mansion according to the gift when the furniture is delivered. Everyone is trouble-free, and if the people in the county king's mansion are free, they may be able to put some of the furniture in the new house in advance.

But who knew that it was so unlucky, the carriage carrying the furniture went halfway to the road, and it was raining when it didn't reach the village in front of it and the store behind it. Hurriedly found a broken temple to shelter from the rain, planning to wait for the rain to stop before continuing on the road, but the rain became heavier and heavier, and even the roof of the broken temple kept leaking, flooding the temple for more than half. The furniture of the carriages was naturally affected, some were drenched in the rain, some were flooded with water, and because of the thunderstorm, the horses pulling the carriage were frightened, and as a result, they ran around, knocked the furniture on the carriage, and even fell off the carriage.

The convoy carrying furniture was in disarray. Seeing that the situation was not good, the little steward who accompanied the team personally rushed to the nearest grange under the name of the Chengenhou Mansion in the rain, borrowed enough manpower and carriages, and rushed back to the broken temple to pull furniture, so that the furniture was transferred to a safe place in time. At that time, it was almost midnight.

The group collapsed from exhaustion, hurriedly freshened up, filled their stomachs, and rested on the grange for the night. When he got up the next day, the little butler went to count the furniture and found that an incense table had been dropped. Although it is only a small item, it is also an item listed on the list, and it is still a part of the complete set of furniture, and it is difficult to explain it if it is missing. He took advantage of the rain to lighten up, and hurried to the broken temple to look for it, and found that the broken temple had been tossed and collapsed by a night of storm, and only half of the earthen wall was still standing.

Cai Shengnan told Qin Hanzhen: "The furniture is all freshly made, with good wood, and the craftsmen are also attentive, and it will not be drenched if it rains for half a day, but if you want not to have a problem, you still have to find a sunny and windy weather and dry it for a few days." But the lost incense table is a trouble, it is a set of pairs, and it is unlucky to miss one. If you want to go back and ask the craftsman to do it again, I don't know if it's too late. ”

Qin Hanzhen thought for a while: "The design drawings of the incense table, I still remember that the process requirements are not complicated, and there is nearly a month, which is enough." With skilled craftsmen, it can be done in ten days and a half months, but it takes longer to paint and a month or two to disperse. It's a big deal that after sending the furniture, I don't need this new one first, and find another place to put it for two months to disperse the smell. Mother just sent someone to deliver a letter to Tongzhou and asked them to hurry up. Otherwise, if you go to the temple and dig things out at this time, you don't know if you can use it. ”

There is no way, her batch of furniture was prepared not long after the marriage decree came down. The official start of construction has been a year away until now. There was plenty of time, plenty of timber and supplies, excellent craftsmanship, and peace of mind, so they did the delicate work unhurriedly, and it was only then that it was completed. Now that time is tight, if we want to make another one, we must not be as perfect as it was originally. However, Qin Hanzhen didn't think that he could use the incense table for a while, and there was not only a pair of incense tables in the wedding furniture, so it was not a big problem.

Cai Shengnan actually felt that the wedding furniture had undergone this kind of change, which was a little unlucky. However, Qin Hanzhen didn't care about it herself, she naturally saw it, so she agreed. It's just that the convoy carrying furniture failed to enter the city on time, and those who had previously greeted the Suning County Wangfu to borrow a place must report the new situation.

I don't know how long this rain will fall, in case it will rain for a few days, I am afraid that the furniture will have to stay on the Zhuangzi of the Chengenhou Mansion all the time. She had to talk to the long room. Moreover, the batch of furniture temporarily stored on the Zhuangzi of the Chengenhou Mansion was also damaged in the rain, and it had to be repaired by craftsmen from Tongzhou. If the damage is not big and can be repaired on the spot, it is naturally fine, but if the damage is too obvious, it must be pulled back to Tongzhou to rework, or even re-played. Thinking that there are many large pieces of furniture in these pieces, each of which takes three or two months to complete, it is definitely not as simple as remaking a handful of incense tables.

Cai Shengnan's scalp was a little numb, knowing that this was the first major thing he had handled after marrying into the Qin family, and he must not make a mistake, so he was a little worried.

Regarding this kind of problem, Qin Hanzhen still looks so big-hearted: "Where is it so serious? Where the flowers are knocked, just add a little more carving, and let the craftsmen repair the edges and corners of the knocks, and the craftsmanship is trustworthy." Mother rest assured, I know it all. Accidents caused by this kind of weather are force majeure and no one wants them. You don't have to stress too much, let's do our best. If you really can't avoid a few pieces of furniture that have problems and can't be used, it's a big deal to stay at home. I am going to make the furniture for the dowry, and it is not that Cousin Zhao has ordered the goods that must be sent to the county king's mansion without a bad order, just change the dowry list, there is nothing to worry about. ”

Seeing her like this, Cai Shengnan lost any temper: "Sister Zhen, although it is the furniture for the wedding, but the county king's mansion has just been built, when we made new furniture, we first went to the county king's mansion to measure the size, and everything was compared with the house over there." For this reason, the little prince did not order his men to make another pair of furniture, so the house over there is now empty. If we have two or three pieces of furniture missing, there will really be no furniture available at the Junwang's Mansion. Even if there is no rumor, just the people in their county king's mansion know that the face of your new master is not good-looking. ”

Cai Shengnan persuaded Qin Hanzhen in a heartfelt manner: "Although you and the king of Xiaojun are childhood sweethearts, no matter how deep the affection is, and it is a marriage given by the emperor, no matter whether you are born in the family or a holy family, there is nothing to worry about, but if you marry in the past, after all, you want to be a princess, you need to gain a foothold in the palace, so that you can control the subordinate officials and subordinates of the palace, and when you go out to deal with the nobles of the clan, you have enough confidence." Of course, the little county king will help you take care of everything and not bother you, but you also have to stand up on your own, which is the long-term way to be a husband and wife. ”

Qin Hanzhen knew that Cai Shengnan was kind enough to remind himself, so he hurriedly got up and stood respectfully, thought about it, and said to Cai Shengnan: "If there is really a bad break in the new furniture, we can ask the craftsman to change the design, put it back together, and always put together enough new furniture." Moreover, the most time-consuming furniture is carving, and in my batch of furniture, the style of carving is biased towards simple and generous, so it should not be a big problem. When I was about to make furniture, my grandmother prepared enough wood for me, and now there are a lot of leftovers, all of which have been taken care of, which can save a lot of time. If there is a shortage of craftsmen, they can be recruited again. The design drawings are ready-made, and you can type according to them, and you don't have to worry about the style being inconsistent. The time of a month is a bit tight, we pay the craftsmen a few more wages, and then do a good job of logistics, overtime, we should be able to catch up. ”

Cai Shengnan thought about it, nodded and said, "Just do it." That's all there is to it for now. "I also plan to go to the grange of the Chengenhou Mansion in person, so that I can see how seriously the furniture is damaged.

Qin Han really wanted to follow, after all, she was the first person to handle this matter, but Cai Shengnan stopped her: "In this weather, don't go, so you can take care of Lord Hou and Mrs. at home." I'll leave early tomorrow morning, ride back and forth, and be home before dark. ”

Qin Han really felt that something was wrong: "It's okay if the rain stops, if the rain doesn't stop, my mother won't take this risk." Even the ruined temple can collapse, and I don't know if there will be danger on the road, so let's see the situation first. ”

I watched it for two days. This rain has been raining for nearly three days. There are flooded neighborhoods in and around the capital, and there are reports of collapsed houses in many places. Half of the city guards were dispatched to help with the relief and rescue of people. Qin Ping goes out early and returns late every day, and his clothes are wet for at least half a day. This is the case for military attachés of his rank, not to mention the small soldiers below. Cai Shengnan sent a large bucket of ginger soup to the city guard yamen for a few days in a row, and also asked people to buy a batch of anti-cold medicines, keep one at home, one for each of the long room and the second room, one for each of the Yunyang Hou Mansion and his mother's family, and send the rest to the city guard yamen. This won Qin Ping a lot of people's hearts.

The rain stopped, Cai Shengnan wanted to ride out of the city again, not to mention that Qin Hanzhen wanted to dissuade him, and even the Niu family refused to agree. She had no choice but to dispel the idea and send her mother-in-law to do it for her instead. Fortunately, Zhao Mo got the message from Qin Hanzhen, so that Ah Shou sent a few guards to accompany him, and the road went smoothly, and when he arrived at the grange of Chengenhou's mansion, the damage to the furniture was not as serious as imagined, and a few broken places were repaired in ten days and a half months, and the most damaged one was just a hollow cabinet door carved with simple patterns, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The Qin family was finally able to settle down, but Zhao Mo was uplifted.

The heavy rain for three consecutive days not only brought disaster to the Gyeongseong area, but also spread to the surrounding areas of Gyeonggi Zhili. One of the most serious consequences is that this year's autumn grain in Zhili may be harvested.
