Saying that Jia Yu received the holy decree, then Gonggong He smiled like a Maitreya Buddha and said: "The Holy Lord sent our family, and there are still a few words to instruct the prince of Rongguo." ”

Jia Hu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Father-in-law, please speak." ”

Gonggong He pinched his throat and said: "The Holy Lord's edict, the new bookkeeping method offered by King Cheng a few days ago is about to be popularized in the household department, and Jia Hu is ordered to listen to King Cheng's dispatch to explain to the household officials. ”

"Do the holy thing."

Jia Yu on the side calmed down, noticed a strange place, and frequently looked at a few handymen carrying something, and Gonggong He saw that his eyes were full of hope, and laughed: "Rongguo Gong, this is also a holy gift." As he spoke, he walked to the place that caught Jia Yu's attention.

Different from the large box placed under the feet of the others, this is a flat-shaped object hidden by a large piece of red cloth, under the signal of Gonggong He, Jia Yu walked into it softly, holding his breath, reaching out and pulling, his heartbeat almost stopped.

The five golden characters of "Rongguo Mansion" are scorching under the sunlight and snow.

Grandpa He's smiling words seemed to come from a distant horizon, "This is the plaque that was removed from the restructuring of the house after the death of the old Guogong, and now it has been returned to the house." He added: "Although it is winter now, it is not good to build a large number of buildings, but the boundary that was fenced off back then can be demolished first." Whether Rong Guogong asked the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry to restore the regulations, or asked the adults of the Ministry of Industry to check it after his own house was built, it was okay. ”

Then Gonggong He said a few more words, refused Jia Hu's stay to drink tea, and said: "The saint is still waiting for our family to reply, so it is not appropriate to stay for a long time." Jahu escorted him to the door, quietly shoving a purse into his sleeve on the way.

After Gonggong He got on the horse and left, Jia Yu was dizzy, and it took a long time for Jia Hu to remind him to call Lin Zhixiao to arrange for craftsmen to hang up the plaque of "Building Rongguo Mansion". During this period, the people of Ningfu also got the news, Jia Zhen rushed over first, Jia Jing had not yet gone to the yamen at this time, Jia Zhen hurriedly sent the little servant to the yamen to invite the master.

Liu returned to the inner courtyard early, took off his makeup clothes, crooked on the couch, and asked someone to report the good news to the Lin family and the Liu family.

Sure enough, just after noon, the family had dinner, and the furniture sent people to give gifts.

Liu was busy registering the gift list, while Jia Yu and Jia Jing were in the study.

Jia Jing got the news in the yamen, and hurriedly complained to the official for a long time off, and his colleagues heard about the incident and congratulated one after another, so that Jia Jing's face was full of red light, and it did not subside until he entered the Rong Mansion.

Jia Jing was simply impressed by this dumb cousin, and was determined to ask him how he taught his son. When he saw Jia Yu, he first praised Jia Hu a lot, and then asked for details.

Jia Jing was also quite surprised to learn that the new bookkeeping method that had turned the household department upside down these days was from Jia Hu. He only knew that this nephew was outstanding in learning, but he didn't want him to study the way of economics.

As for cement, he was not proficient in Gewu, so he didn't know what it was, so he hurriedly asked, "What is the use of cement?" Why did the Holy Lord rejoice greatly, and praised it for the benefit of the country and the people? ”

Jia Hu spoke at this time: "Uncle, cement can be used to pave the road, and the road paved with cement is very smooth," he gave an example, "The royal road is paved with fine soil, so there are few bumps in the carriage driving on it, and if it is made of cement, it is not much worse than the royal road." The royal road is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but cement is different, not only does not require manpower, but also can be used for a long time. ”

"The most important thing is that the cement is not afraid of flooding or sunlight after it is solidified, and can be used to cast embankments. In the future, the people in the two river basins will no longer have to be afraid of the flooding of the river! ”

Jia Jing was excited, and asked again and again, "Is this true?!" ”

Jia Hu nodded cautiously.

He came from later generations, there are many ideas, only the first to propose cement, because of the rain this summer, the Yellow River burst its banks again, I don't know how many people are displaced, now it is early winter, there are still many homeless people in the suburbs of Beijing who sleep in deserted temples at night, not even a blanket of thin quilts.

Even hard-hearted people, seeing these people who are deeply tormented by the flooding of the Yellow River, have to scold the people on the river workers for losing their conscience and even being greedy for the silver used to repair the river embankment.

That's why Jia Hu remembered something like cement.

He didn't know how the cement was made, only that there was probably sand and concrete, so he pointed in a direction and asked his craftsmen to ponder. Perhaps it was providence, and the inspired craftsmen quickly came up with it, and then it was the attempt of various formulas, and finally came up with cement that was not afraid of wind and sun, rain and water.

It happened that Biyulou was ginseng, and he learned from King Cheng that Prince Li was eyeing the Rong Mansion, Jia Hu thought that instead of handing over the share of soap and becoming the emperor's money bag, it was better to push the cement out, as long as it entered the emperor's eyes, Prince Li would not hold on to him.

Jia Jing is a straight-tempered person, and even said: "If you can succeed, cement can save hundreds of millions of people!" Da Zhou has no worries about flooding from now on! Jia Hu, you will also be immortal!

He said with high interest: "Enhou, such a big thing should be told to the ancestors in the heavenly spirit!" ”

Jia Hu was praised, and he blushed a little. Jia Zhen on the side quietly asked him: "Is it really that powerful?" ”

Jia Hu glanced at the two people who were talking about the opening of the ancestral hall, and the atmosphere was warm, and he also learned from him and quietly replied: "It's an exaggeration, but it's basically the truth." ”

Jia Zhen opened his mouth wide and looked at Jia Hu in surprise, not knowing when he lit up the Gewu skill.

Jia Hu smiled but did not speak.

Rongguo Mansion to revitalize the glory of the ancestors, naturally to feast guests, on this day, the main entrance of Rongguo Mansion three doors opened, one after another magnificent carriage to the wide Ningrong Street blocked the water leakage, Rong Mansion up and down, everyone is full of joy, there is a proud look on the face, all are happy to be enthusiastic. Fortunately, Liu's royal family has skills, not as loose as Jia's mother's rules, and the guests who come to the door see that the people in the house act in an orderly manner, treat people with rules and humility, and there is no villain's ambition.

This made Xiao Wang, who came to the door, greatly relieved.

The Wang family has never been as prominent as the Jia family, not to mention that she is only a side branch. Finally, the Wang family produced a prince Teng, who was thousands of times better than Jia Yu, who thought that Jia Yu stood in line successfully in his early years, and now he taught his son well, and Shengsheng raised the title to the position of the prince of the country.

Xiao Wang's family knew that the big Wang clan in front of him was not clear, and Jia Zheng was separated again, and he only got a petty official in charge. It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and she still has to live in Rongguo Mansion, so naturally Jia Yu's room is as productive as possible. Jia Yu Liu, as an uncle and aunt, took good care of Jia Zhu on weekdays, and Jia Zhu fell seriously ill two months ago, but Rongfu sent a lot of nourishing medicinal materials, so he survived.

Xiao Wang's family also faintly heard that Da Wang's family had done bad things to Dafang. Dafang is still like this to the children left by the Dawang family, isn't it more affectionate to her children? In the future, when she is pregnant with a child, she will have to rely on his uncle to support her!

With such a mentality, Xiao Wang's family arrived at Rongguo Mansion early. The subordinates of Rongguo Mansion have always been high and low, and now they are so powerful, Xiao Wang's family is mentally prepared to welcome the contemptuous eyes of the servants. As long as it's not too excessive, she's going to endure it. What if you can't bear it? Xiao Wang smiled bitterly.

I didn't expect my sister-in-law to manage her subordinates very well.

Since Jia Yu returned to Beijing for three years, Xiao Wang, as a concubine, came to the door for the first time. She walked on the familiar □□, and was surprised to find that there was not a single familiar face among the people who came and went.

She tentatively asked the servant woman who led the way, "What about your great steward?" ”

The daughter-in-law replied, "We don't have a steward here with the surname Lai." "Her man is Wu Da who is in charge of flowers and trees, and everyone calls her Wu Da.

Seeing that she didn't mean to go into detail, Xiao Wang paused, and handed over a piece of gold leaf, but Wu didn't accept it. Xiao Wang had no choice but to say softly: "I and the Duchess in the mansion are concubines, and we used to live in this mansion, but I just want to ask about the people I know well." If you don't believe it, you can ask others, was there a second master in the house in the past? ”

Wu family's general looked at her suspiciously, saw that she was familiar with the road, and heard in a trance that the original housekeeper in the house was surnamed Lai, so he accepted the gold leaf and picked up some words that could be said and replied: "Our housekeeper's surname is Lin." ”

Xiao Wang said: "Could it be Lin Zhixiao? What about Lai's family? ”

Seeing that this lady said the name of Steward Lin, the Wu family had no doubts since they went to Beijing, and they had never seen this lady enter the Rong Mansion, so they kept an eye on it and said, "I heard in a trance that there is a Lai Mama, and she was let out to be raised by Rong." ”

"What about Laida?"

"It seems that it was sold because of the betrayal." In fact, Lin Zhixiao's family told them that Mama Lai was a very decent companion to the old lady in the past, but because she was too greedy, except for Mama Lai, who was sent to Zhuangzi for the elderly, the rest of the Lai family was poured with dumb medicine and sold, even the children were not spared. In the end, the old man sent someone to copy the Lai family, and he got hundreds of thousands of silver.

Hey, no wonder he was sold by the master's family, who would dare to keep such a minion. Wu also heard that the little grandson of that family was released as soon as he landed, and when he was a little older, he also became the companion of the little master in the house, and it was clear that he was going to study. The old lady values it so much, but the Lai family is still the biggest moth in the house, and it is really God's eyes to fall into this fate.

Thinking of these things, the Wu family inquired about Lai's family, and Xiao Wang, who claimed to be familiar with Lai's family, couldn't help but secretly despise it. However, the Wu family covered it up very well, and Xiao Wang didn't notice it.

Xiao Wang was stunned, and the second room also had to be filial piety, she hadn't walked around outside for a long time, but she didn't expect the Lai family to end up like this. Thinking that Lai Da was called Grandpa Lai by some broken Jia family members in the past, Xiao Wang's family was inevitably a little embarrassed.

She asked, "Then do you know where it was sold?" ”

Wu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Xiao Wang sighed before he said, "I see your face, I don't know which family in the house it is?" ”

Wu said with a smile: "My man and I were bought into the house, not the children of the house." ”

Xiao Wang's sighed, if he wasn't a child, he couldn't ask anything, so he didn't ask anymore.

Walking through the verandah, turning the lotus pond, and crossing the small bridge, Xiao Wang arrived next to the small garden, facing the Weixue Building on the stage.

"You're here!" Liu walked over and greeted her affectionately, which flattered Xiao Wang.
