Chapter 240: Asking for Help (1)
Time flies,
In the blink of an eye, half of the month had passed.
The date of the blind date conference is getting closer and closer,
Although the weather is getting colder day by day,
However, the enthusiasm of the people of the state is as if half of the ice and snow are about to melt.
The renovation project of the coal mine is going very smoothly.
The mining area of the entire Ugin Mountains is now beginning to take shape.
Several new ideas proposed by Lu Bu have been tested.
It is now entering the stage of official use.
In particular, the water circulation system and the investment of new bathhouses,
It makes the miners very happy,
This initiative has really benefited them.
Not only is it easy to save trouble but also more comfortable,
The soap developed by the eldest lady Diao Chan has also been successfully tested.
There is almost no difference from the soaps of later generations,
And all the raw materials are all natural,
There is no damage to human skin,
This novelty really surprised the rough guys.
It's not just the workers who get the first right to use it,
All of you in the Ugin Mountains,
I was fortunate enough to use soap.
The launch of this daily commodity,
It immediately captured the hearts of all people.
"Husband."
Diao Chan stroked her increasingly bulging belly,
Pushing open the door of the study, he said to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu hurriedly got up from behind the desk,
Walk a few steps briskly, help Diao Chan to sit down slowly, and say:
"Madame, my little aunt, why are you moving around freely again?"
Diao Chan smiled with satisfaction,
is obviously very heartwarming for Lu Bu's heartfelt care,
but deliberately glanced at Lu Bu on his face,
Spoken:
"Hmph, it's not that your child is afraid that his father will work too hard and tired, so he keeps kicking and asking me to stew chicken soup for you and send it over."
Lu Bu took a steaming soup bowl from the maid's hand,
With a wave of his hand, the little maid withdrew.
Only then did he gently lift the lid,
Suddenly a thick white smoke rose up,
At the same time, the whole room was filled with a pungent smell of meat.
Lu Bu took a few puffs vigorously,
exaggeratedly said:
"Oh mom, that's the smell, it's definitely my cutest Chan'er."
"Poor mouth."
Diao Chan covered her small mouth and laughed softly.
Seeing Lu Bu's anxious appearance of wanting to drink soup,
Hurriedly spoke:
"What are you doing in a hurry, and no one is robbing you, be careful of the burn."
"Hahaha, of course I have to drink the chicken soup made by my good wife."
While talking, Lu Bu drank the soup in the bowl with a sigh.
Diao Chan looked at Lu Bu's embarrassing appearance,
But a satisfied smile appeared on her delicate face,
Watching Lu Bu drink a big bowl of soup in three mouthfuls and two bites,
Then he handed over a handkerchief,
Let him clean up the mess from his mouth.
"Husband, our soap has been a great success."
Lu Bu was stunned when he heard this, and then said:
"You don't have to think about this to know that my family Chan'er is so smart and capable, can there be anything invented that is not successful."
With witty words in his mouth,
But the body came to the side of the sable cicada,
Reaching out and gently stroking Diao's belly.
Diao Chan looked at the smile on Lu Bu's face with satisfaction,
"You, this mouth is getting more and more slippery now."
"Hey, hey, I'm not just praising my wife."
Lu Bu laughed, suddenly put away his smile and said:
"Soap, but for the first time in this era, it is natural to be a big success, after all, even in later generations, there are so many toiletries, but soap is still one of the most popular products."
Diao Chan nodded, and also spoke:
"Especially for us women, it is the nature of women to love beauty, and soap not only has a much better cleaning effect than the previous toiletries, but even the bath beans used by princes and nobles are far inferior to soap in terms of cleaning effect. What's more, after use, the soap can also exude a natural fragrance, and most importantly, after bathing with soap, the skin will only feel smoother and more delicate, so that naturally more and more women will like this product very much. ”
Lu Bu scratched Diao Chan's straight nose,
Said with a smile:
"Yes, Grandma, you're right."
Dodge Lu Bu's claws,
Diao Chan grimaced at him and continued:
"Isn't this what you stinky men forced you?"
"Huh? Little Ancestor, you really wronged us men by saying this. ”
"Huh, wronged?"
Lu Bu nodded hurriedly, and said exaggeratedly:
"What a great injustice."
Diao Chan stretched out his green jade fingers,
dotted on Lu Bu's head,
"You stinky men, which one of you is not three wives and four concubines, who likes the new and hates the old, then we, the women in the house, if we want to get more favor, then we have to use all our strengths. Have you forgotten those court dramas that were once played on TV in later generations? ”
Lu Bu was slightly stunned, but still nodded,
Diao Chan said this point is indeed very correct,
He didn't have to, uh, or dare not refute it.
After making a joke, Diao Chan said:
"It's a joke, but it's also a feature of this era. Therefore, the wives and concubines of those dignitaries and nobles can afford to pay blood in this aspect of dressing themselves. ”
Lu Bu also began to get serious,
That's a good point, so what do you think? Want to make a fortune with soap? ”
Nodding, Diao Chan spoke:
"It's not just about soap, it's just one aspect. After the soap incident, I was inspired that many of our daily necessities in later generations can be made in this era, and there is no way to achieve complex ones, but there is no problem with simple ones. ”
Lu Bu's eyes couldn't help but light up,
The eyes that looked at Diao Chan were full of surprise.
"It's worthy of being the big shopkeeper of my family, I didn't even think of these things before."
"Giggles, it's useless to come to the whiskers less."
Diao Chan's beautiful eyes because of laughter,
And bent into two crescents,
happily replied:
"Husband, this matter can really bring us a lot of benefits. I made a simple calculation, let's not talk about the whole world, just the people of the state, it is enough for us to make a lot of money. ”
Lu Bu's heart moved, and he poured cold water and said:
"Chan'er, it doesn't matter if we make money, but we must be in a sense of proportion, especially for the people under our own rule, who are now finally living a stable life......
"You, worry about it, will people be such indiscriminate people."
Diao Chan pursed his lips and said as if he was a little displeased.
Lu Bu smiled and hurriedly replied:
"Hahaha, it's not right for the husband. Lady, Xiaosheng is wrong, please accept Xiaosheng's worship. ”
Lu Bu stood up, bowed to Diao Chan, and saluted decently.
Makes the sable cicada tremble,
The two laughed again,
That's why they snuggle up to each other,
Quietly looking at the charcoal fire burning in the stove in the house,
Enjoy the quiet warmth of the moment.
Hold your lover in your arms,
Lu Bu felt an unprecedented tranquility,
It was as if all sorrow had left him.
"Husband."
A gentle and sweet voice finally broke the silence.
Lu Bu lowered his head,
Looking at Diao Chan in his arms, he asked:
"What's wrong, Chan'er?"
"Are you worried?"
Diao Chan raised his head,
Stretched out his hand to stroke the beard under Lu Bu's chin,
Lu Bu is now starting to grow a beard,
Far from destroying his heroic countenance,
On the contrary, it also adds a lot of majesty.
Lu Bu was slightly stunned when he heard this,
Somewhat puzzled, he replied:
"Chan'er, now that all aspects of the state are on the right track, a thriving scene, where can I have any worries. Don't worry, it's not the legendary prenatal anxiety disorder. ”
Diao Chan patted his chest lightly,
Coquettishly said:
"Nasty! People are talking to you about business. You and I have been married for many years, once you have worries, you are always willing to be alone in the house, don't you know when I am, hum! ”
Lu Bu's heart warmed,
Gently caressing the hair of the sable cicada,
Whispered:
"It's nothing, I just don't want you to worry about me."
Diao Chan shook his head,
Dodge the claws of Lu Bu's attack,
Seriously, he said:
"Husband and wife are connected. There is something I don't want you to take care of alone, you have us sisters behind you, don't make yourself too hard. ”
"yes, okay, I got it."
"Then let's talk about it now, what is it that can make it difficult for us to make the world-shattering Lu Bu Wenhou difficult."
Lu Bu looked at Diao Chan's serious eyes,
Eventually,
The things I discussed with Tian Feng and Jia Xu two days ago were briefly explained.
Diao Chan listened carefully to Lu Bu's story,
A pair of delicate willow eyebrows also slowly wrinkled,
muttered in a low voice:
"That's a real problem. If Li Ru is fine by your side, he will definitely not dare to make a mistake, but this will damage your reputation after all. It was really the best choice to let him go to the Western Regions, but who could deter him? ”
Hearing this, he smiled bitterly and shook his head,
He's been worrying about it for the past few days.
He also didn't expect Diao Chan to be able to solve the matter,
Originally, he wasn't going to tell anyone else about it.
Lest some of the ladies be worried,
Especially Diao Chan and Ding Yao are now about to give birth,
It's just that I didn't expect to be discovered by the careful Diao Chan after all.
In the end, I couldn't bear her questioning,
That's when the truth of the matter was revealed.
Diao Chan suddenly raised his eyebrows,
"Husband, I'm afraid we can't think of such a candidate, but someone will definitely be able to find a way."
"Oh?"
Lu Bu looked at Diao Chan suspiciously,
"Can there be anyone like that?"
"That's nature, and this person is far away in front of you, if you don't go to him, but you are here to trouble yourself, then you are really asking for trouble."
Diao Chan spoke with confidence,
This made Lu Bu quite interested,
Hurriedly asked:
"Good Chan'er, then tell me who this person is."
"Isn't it the father of your favorite third lady, who is also our father?"
Lu Bu almost made Diao Chan's words dizzy,
After thinking about it for a long time, I came back to my senses,
When I landed, my eyes lit up,
slapped his thigh heavily and said:
"That's right, my father is an old minister in the court, and he is also a famous person in the world, and he has a wide range of contacts, so he will definitely have good candidates to recommend."
Thinking of this,
Lu Bu laughed happily,
Holding up the little face of the sable cicada,
kissed hard,
Then he left the study like a gust of wind,
ran towards Cai's mansion.
When I came to Cai's house,
Cai Yong and Cai Wenji are sorting out the case in the study.
Lu Bu bowed respectfully,
"Father, my son-in-law has come to say goodbye."
Cai Yong raised his head from a large pile of files,
Due to the long time of reviewing various files,
The eyes are a little blurry,
After rubbing his eyes, he looked at Lu Bu again,
Angrily spoke:
"Isn't this Lord Wenhou. There's still time to visit me, a bad old man. ”
When Lu Bu heard this,
A face suddenly became a bitter melon,
Why is the old man angry again,
Wasn't it okay the first two days?
winked at Cai Wenji on the side,
Lu Bu could only ask for help from his beloved wife.
How do you know that Cai Wenji covered her mouth and snickered,
Seeing Lu Bu's eyes,
Cheeks flushed for no reason,
He lowered his head and stopped looking at him.
Scratching his head, Lu Bu only felt a little confused.
I had to have a smile on my face,
said to Cai Yong:
"Master Yue, don't be sarcastic about your son-in-law. Why haven't you seen you for a few days, Lord Yue, you are angry with your son-in-law again. Please also ask your father-in-law to inform me that the son-in-law will correct it as soon as possible. ”
rolled his eyes angrily,
Cai Yong snorted heavily with his nose,
Only then did he slowly ask:
"I heard that you have a blind date again?"
Nodding busily,
Lu Bu hurriedly spoke:
"Exactly. When I inspected the mine before......"
Lu Bu was ready to explain,
Who knew that Cai Yong suddenly waved his hand,
stopped Lu Bu's words behind.
"That's not what I'm talking about."
"Not that?"
Lu Bu's eyes widened and he scratched his head,
Some of the second monks couldn't figure their heads.
Seeing Lu Bu's confused look,
Cai Yong's face became darker,
At this time, he didn't continue to sell Guanzi again,
He threw the file in his hand on the table.
"If you have the leisure to run around and worry about other people's marriages, what about your own affairs? How did you promise the old man? ”
"Huh? Lord Yue. What did I promise? ”
Lu Bu couldn't react for a while.
Cai Wenji couldn't stand it anymore from the side,
Blushing, he hurried away.
Seeing Cai Wenji's reaction,
Lu Bu then somewhat understood the reason why the old man was angry,
Hurriedly said with a smile:
"Father-in-law, father, father, my son-in-law will definitely work hard in this matter, and he will definitely not disappoint your expectations. That way, you can rest assured that this time next year is guaranteed to make you a grandfather. Hey! ”
Cai Yong is most concerned about this matter,
In the past two days, I have been nagging with my daughter,
Now that I have seen Lu Bu,
Although he was in a hurry, as an elder, he was not good at saying this kind of thing, and he said it repeatedly and four times.
can only express dissatisfaction in this way,
Fortunately, Lu Bu is still smart,
In an instant, I understood,
This made the old man's face change a lot.
"What did you come here for?"
