"Thank you Rong'er for your understanding. You have come from afar, no matter what you do, just give orders and make arrangements, and we should fulfill the friendship of landlords. Fan Jin is tall and handsome, and when he saw her cute, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his face was not so embarrassing.

"This is a jade chop for my grandfather, a jade Buddha hand for my eldest uncle, a silver pot for the fourth uncle, a green jade for the fifth uncle, and my grandmother and three aunts are all court brocades that the emperor rewarded me with this time......

You Shi smiled, "I thought you children were just joking around." And even give us gifts? How is this good? ”

Rong'er said: "Every time the second aunt brings back to Anping Mansion, there are many gifts. My father said that he hadn't returned to Dongping for many years, so he must show his gratitude this time. ”

There was a chorus of thanks in the living room.

"Alright. You go down first. I'll have something to tell your father about here. ”

It turned out that Fan Zhenggao didn't know the purpose of Rong'er's trip, he thought differently, but now he thinks differently, so he didn't have the same mind as before, and after everyone got to know each other, he left only a few sons and drove out several daughters-in-law and grandchildren.

"Rong'er and they are here on this trip, firstly, to buy Dongping specialties, and secondly, Qing'er wants to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting from a few of you." Fan Zhenggao said to his three sons seriously.

The eldest son, Fan Xuewen, was born like his father, even more white and fat, and looked at Rong'er and Congqing with a smile, "There are many famous teachers and craftsmen in the capital, and you have come all the way to learn from us, which makes us a little frightened." You should know that if a few of us are white, we don't have any fame. ”

The fourth son, Fan Xueshu, was born like his mother, with a delicate little face. The facial features are very contoured, and the temperament is sven, and he smiled. "We guess you've been living in the capital for a long time, and we heard Lingzhi say that Dongpingzhou is fun, so find a pretense to come out and play, right? You can rest assured, since you have come out and are guests at our Fan family, you will definitely be happy this time. ”

The fifth son, Fan Xuecheng, inherited the excellence of his parents and was the most outstanding. Medium-tall man, not fat or thin, wearing a cyan Luo shirt. His bearing is the most extraordinary, he looked at everyone, smiled, and did not speak easily.

Fan Zhenggao said too much. He said, "It's good that you understand." But Congqing has the heart to ask us about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. This did not discourage her. In the afternoon, I took them to see our silk weaving workshop and pottery workshop, and in the afternoon, I accompanied a few children to study knowledge. The boss is going to go to Shensaikou to order bacon, and the fourth goes out to contact about buying other specialties... These days, the business affairs are handed over to the eldest grandson Jin'er and a few of them to take care of. ”

The three sons should be in unison.

Lingzhi said, "The third sister came to Dongpingzhou this time, and she also wanted to order some goods from our Fan family, and the manifests were all listed." ”

Fan Zhenggao laughed, "What are you worried about? Your brother told me all last night. And your mother also wrote it clearly in the letter. In short, no matter how big or small this time. We will all do it properly for Anping Mansion. ”

Rong'er said with a smile, "I'll bother everyone this time." ”

After all, You Shi was an old man, and he felt that there was something faintly unusual in his husband's breath, and said with a smile: "The children just came." I only sacrificed to my ancestors in the morning, and this afternoon I went to see the Fan family's workshop, is it too urgent? ”

Fan Zhenggao glared at her, "Hello, I'm at home and I've arranged dinner with my daughters-in-law." ”

You Shi smiled, affirming the feeling in his heart.

"The fifth and I will take Rong'er and them all the way to the silk weaving workshop to have a look, boss, fourth, you can also go and do things."

Time is really short, but all the scenes have to be done.

Fan Zhenggao and Lao Wu took the children, Rong'er called the two brothers Taoye, and a large group of people went out lively.

Fan's silk weaving workshop and pottery workshop are both under the Shenshan Waterfall in the northwest outside the city, in order to maintain the waterfall and flowing water all year round, the Fan family built a stream ditch into a large reservoir at the half-peak.

The silk weaving workshop is very lively, and there are three medium-sized waterwheels under the waterfall in the big canal, splashing high, which looks quite imposing.

Congqing asked Fan Zhenggao curiously, "How many catties of yarn can be produced every day?" ”

Fan Zhenggao said: "I can produce ninety catties of yarn every day." That's enough for us. ”

"My grandfather's waterwheels are old. You have to be willing to change to two large waterwheels, which can produce 200 catties of yarn a day. Rong'er looked at such good geographical conditions, sufficient water sources and wide canals, and shook her head and said: "Just three medium-sized old waterwheels, in fact, it takes a lot of people to operate." There really isn't anyone doing it. ”

Fan Xuecheng glanced at Rong'er and said with a smile: "Rong'er is very reasonable. ”

"Your second aunt told me your suggestion in the letter. We'll think about it later. Fan Zhenggao didn't take his own affairs seriously at this time, and he was only nervous about what Rong'er and the others were going to do.

Rong'er felt his mood and didn't persuade much.

Yingchun saw the novelty, and had to step on the water wheel, Fan Xuecheng called a helper to come down, and replaced her to go up, but she didn't step on it a few times, but she couldn't step on it at all.

Yingchun got off the waterwheel with a smile, "I want to earn this money, I can't earn it." ”

Intoxicated on the side, he laughed, "You are a little girl, of course you can't step on it." It's these men who can't step on it well if they don't have the strength or experience. But I've got some brute strength. As he spoke, he stepped on the pedals and pedaled the waterwheel with the other two mercenary clatters.

High droplets of water splashed everywhere.

The crowd laughed in unison and praised and intoxicated.

"Let's go. Let's go to the pottery workshop. Youxin said with a smile.

The pottery workshop is only half a mile away from the silk weaving workshop, while the large kiln is two miles away from the pottery workshop.

The Fan family's pottery workshop has a large courtyard, in which many potters make clay shapes on the embryo mold.

Congqing liked these things, and her eyes lit up when she saw two neat rows of potters concentrating on their work.

"There's a showroom over there. There are mud chambers, semi-finished product rooms and fully finished product rooms. Usually the brothers and sisters of the uncle's family often come here to play, and the children of the Fan family will knead mud. Ganoderma lucidum proudly introduced.

Congqing looked at Rong'er with longing in her eyes.

Rong'er knew that Congqing was embarrassed to say it, so she helped her and said, "Grandfather." My second sister wants to pinch the mud and play. ”

Yingchun said: "I want to play too." ”

"If you want to play, go to the house and wear a cloth fence, and then wear a cloth hat to play." Fan Xuecheng said with a smile.

"I'll take you there. Chun'er's clothes are too wet. Just go and get dressed, the cousins must have put their clothes here. "As soon as Lingzhi arrived in Dongpingzhou, it was as fresh as a free bird.

Lingzhi rushed into the hut next to the showroom with Congqing and Yingchun. Soon, the three of them wore cloth hats, came out around the cloth waist, and changed into a cloth coat with red flowers on a white background for the spring.

"Old Five. You're watching them here. I took Rong'er to see the showroom. Fan Zhenggao commanded.

"We'll play with the mud and then we'll go to the showroom to watch." Yingchun excitedly waved his hand to Rong'er and sat down on the pestle in front of a pile of mud.

Rong'er glanced at Xiao Tao and Yumei, "You follow the second sister." ”

He also said to Li Qingming, "You and Tao Ye follow me." ”

The mud chamber occupies three large rooms, and the semi-finished products occupy two large rooms. The finished product occupies two large rooms, with an elegant tea room in the middle.

Fan Zhenggao took them into the tea room, "There is nothing to see in the mud room and the semi-finished room. But everyone likes to come here to shop for treasures when they have nothing to do. There are a lot of scraps that can bring you inspiration. ”

Intoxication stays outside. Li Qingming and Tao Ye followed into the tea room.

Two maids are in charge of the showroom. Seeing that the old lady was coming, one went to the side compartment and brought a pot of boiling water in.

The tea room is a tatami mat with two coffee tables on top of the couch.

"Just put it down." Tao Ye took the boiling kettle and motioned for her to go out. Youxin took out a bamboo tube containing tea leaves from the small cabinet in the corner of the side and put it on a coffee table.

"Qingming, you look outside." Rong'er raised her chin to Li Qingming.

Li Qingming nodded and went to the showroom outside.

Brew good tea. Place it on the coffee table next to it.

Youxin took out the drawings from his arms, spread them out on the coffee table in front of him, and said to Rong'er: "I told my grandfather last night about what we were going to do on this trip. My grandfather said that the hurricane cave under Shensao Peak was complicated, and I was afraid that the plan would have to be more elaborate. ”

"Qiubo and Dongbo have been there a few times. I've been there a few times before, but I've never been in the water. Fan Zhenggao was very worried.

Tao Ye smiled, "They'll arrive in a while." Last night I told them that I was going to Shensao Peak. ”

Fan Zhenggao said worriedly, "Do you have to use this way?" ”

Rong'er nodded solemnly.

"Uncle Qiu, they're here."

Sure enough, Li Qingming whispered outside.

followed Qiu Bo and Dong Bo in with a basket on their backs. The basket contained some vegetables and herbs. The two put down their baskets, and a letter hurriedly invited them to take a seat.

"To avoid people's eyes. After you enter the city. The two of us carried the basket on our backs and went to Xisappo to pick vegetables and herbs. Everyone in this area knows that when we have nothing to do, we will come to the Fan family's pottery workshop to visit. Dong Bo sat down and said.

Qiu Bo looked at the unrolled drawings, the corners of his eyes were wet, and he looked at Rong'er, "Third Miss." Does it have to be this way? ”

Fan Zhenggao sighed lightly, "That's what I mean." Can you do it another way? ”

Youxin smiled: "If you can." It's not complicated. ”

Dong Bo said: "Let's discuss it first and see if it can be considered." ”

Youxin said: "Actually, it's not as excessive as you fear. The main reason is that the hurricane water hole under the Shensao Peak is very dangerous, and it is precisely because it is dangerous, terrible, and flows to the Dongping River in the southwest, so that this play can be performed well from here. ”

Tao Ye said: "The soldiers are in danger. It's just that I haven't experienced the water potential there. ”

"The water down there is dangerous, with a few moving whirlpools! Once, Dong Bo and I went there to collect medicine, and we almost lost our lives there, but it was there that made us immortal old water dogs. We are fine, but the third lady and Yingchun, as well as Yumei, are all little girls, but they know some water, and there have been many people with excellent water nature, which cannot be found in the corpse capital. It was years before the bones were found elsewhere. Qiu Bo said.

"That's why I have to think about it this time." Rong'er sighed in her heart. If you don't help Concubine Hui, Chengguo Mansion and Huining Mansion join forces, Anping Mansion will definitely fail miserably.

Tao Ye said: "The twelve brothers who came out this time have all drunk blood wine with me. As long as the three young ladies can be safe, everyone is fearless of life and death. ”

Dong Bo glanced at him, "The lives of my two brothers have long belonged to Anping Mansion. As long as we can keep the third lady safe, my brother and I are willing to exchange their lives. ”

Fan Zhenggao's scalp was constantly numb.

Rong'er smiled, "You don't have to be so nervous. Although I have never been to Hurricane Valley, there are many terrifying rumors about Shensao Peak. But I don't think it's as scary as everyone thinks, the important thing is to be thorough! ”

"The water potential inside is indeed dangerous, but the third lady is right, and the latter will unexpectedly receive the desired effect. I think it's better to do this..."Qiu Bo pondered, "Although the guards are all equipped with unique skills, it is impossible to go with the third lady all, except for cultivation, just pick the two best water-based, plus Qingming and me... Dumber had to stay outside and take care of it. ”

"Why are you going with Miss Three, not me?" Dong Bo was not happy.

Youxin raised his hands in the air, "Don't fight." Whether you stay outside or follow the third lady, you are doing things for Anping Mansion! ”

"I'm better water-based than Qiubo!" Dong Bo stubbornly said.

Rong'er smiled when she saw this, "It's really hard to say. In fact, after we go, it is more dangerous to stay outside. There's a lot of work out there that depends on everyone's collaboration. ”

Qiu Bo was stunned, "Then I'll stay." ”

Dong Bo's face flushed slightly, and he lowered his head to admit his mistake, "It's me who is reckless, eager for quick success." ”

"Wang Qi and Wang Ba are good in water?" Rong'er asked Tao Ye.

"It's all soaked by the flooded river, and the water is as good as a water duck. is also a chance, if it weren't for the birthday wine of the third lady, we wouldn't have met the two brothers. I secretly investigated their personalities first, and they all said that they were Gengjie, with a lively personality, but they were calm in their work. When Hou Ye asked Feng Shilang for the two of them, Feng Shilang said the same as everyone said, saying that the two brothers were very good by nature. Tao Ye said with emotion.

"Then take them again." Rong'er thinks long-term.

"Isn't it suspicious that there are too many people here?" There is a channel.

Rong'er said solemnly: "Uncle Qiu and Uncle Dong have good water properties and are familiar with it, but you are old. There we helped a couple of us get out and stayed outside for the rest of the show. None of the people outside can be fine! ”

Fan Zhenggao's brows tightened.

Rong'er looked at him and smiled, "Grandfather." A lot of things out there depend on you to arrange and direct. ”

"Okay." Fan Zhenggao actually understands the power of this matter.

"Take me with you. Over the years, Qiu Bo and I felt that we were not as capable as Chun Bo and Xia Bo, so we worked very hard, although we didn't learn some martial arts, but we climbed trees and went into the water, and went up the mountain to collect medicines, which are very comparable. Dong Bo said sincerely.

Qiu Bo also said, "Your Uncle Dong is most of Langzhong, and he knows a lot of strange flowers and plants. In order to feel these skills, he often soaked in the streets of the city with those charlatans. And he's really better water-based than me. And he is familiar with the geography inside. I'm just better than he knows how to cook. There were seven brothers Wang who went with the third lady, and I stayed outside. ”

Rong'er said: "The personnel are decided like this." Let's start planning out what we should do together. ”

Fan Zheng straightened his mind, let go of his worries, and finally laughed, "You don't have to worry about things outside. I'll do what you want, and I'll do it all. ”

There is a saying: "These days, we go shopping and play everywhere first." During this period, the people of the Fan family and Qiu Bo and Dong Bo had to inadvertently go out and release the news that we were going to explore the hurricane cave..." )
