Chapter 35: The Wood Workshop
When more than a dozen villagers heard Jing Zetian's words, they were all eager to try, but none of them took the lead to sit on it first.
An old farmer couldn't wait, patted the dirt on his body with both hands, carefully sat on the chair, and after getting used to it, he squinted and leaned back on the back with a satisfied face.
With the first, there was the second, and everyone slapped the dirt on their clothes, and tried to sit on the chairs one by one.
After the adults finished doing this, the children, who had been watching for a long time, happily began to sit in the chairs in turns.
"How do you guys feel?" Jing Zetian asked with a smile.
"Hey, the old man has lived so much of his life, this chair is really comfortable to sit on, and he will have to make it all over in the future." The old man who was the first to try to sit in a chair said unsatisfactorily.
"Hehe, that's good, I'm still worried that everyone will not be satisfied." Jing Zetian said politely. As long as these ordinary people can accept it, then other people will naturally have no problem.
"Okay, shopkeeper Huang, I've also seen and tried the chair, let's go to the workshop." Jing Zetian said.
"Okay, Young Master Jing, Huang Yuan, you take the servants to put the chairs on the carriage again, and send someone to watch here." Huang Lesong commanded.
Then, he took Jing Zetian and his party towards the workshop.
In ancient times, the population was small, and the cultivated land was also less, so most of the area was a piece of mountain forest, Jing Zetian and others walked along a small road in Huangjia Village, towards the workshop, the dense grass spread out on both sides of the path, yellow withered weeds and new green grass, unknown wild flowers, and there are large trees around it, and the air is full of green breath.
"Young Master Jing, because we are a wood workshop, I directly built the workshop in the forest, so that it is convenient to use local materials." Huang Lesong looked at this road that was getting more and more difficult to walk and said.
"It's okay, I know, you made the right choice." Jing Zetian said lightly, and did not show dissatisfaction because the road was not good.
"Oh, why is there another worm, it's so annoying, I knew that Miss Ben wouldn't come." Huang Feiyan saw a small insect flying in front of her eyes again, and said uncomfortably.
"Feiyan, why don't I have someone send you back?" Huang Lesong asked with concern, once his daughter was a little uncomfortable, he couldn't help but always want to help his daughter get it.
"No need Daddy, I've finally come here, how can I give up." Huang Feiyan said stubbornly.
"Okay." Huang Lesong said helplessly, he knew that his daughter was very stubborn, so he could only slow down his pace, get closer to his daughter, and drive away insects for his daughter.
Compared with Huang Feiyan, Jing Zetian is much more comfortable, Xiao Zhuozi and Xiao Dengzi are one after the other, whenever there are insects, they immediately drive them away, Qiu Xiang and Ruhua also use their own handkerchiefs to drive away the insects.
"Shopkeeper Huang, how far is it?" Jing Zetian asked, he had been walking for half an hour, and before he arrived, Jing Zetian was a little impatient.
"There we are, past this hill, there are usually very few people here except for the carpenter I hire, so it is a little desolate." Huang Lesong hurriedly replied.
As soon as everyone heard that they had reached the low hill in front of them, they couldn't help but lift their spirits, and walked for half an hour on the wild road, which made them all a little uncomfortable, so they couldn't help but speed up their pace and wanted to reach their destination quickly.
They had crossed the hill, and a flat clearing appeared in front of everyone, and several wooden houses were built on the clearing, and in the middle of the wooden houses there was a huge thatched hut, and around the clearing there were many round roots of cut trees, and five or six craftsmen were polishing the wood in their hands in the clearing.
"Shopkeeper Huang, there has always been a question on the road, your workshop is built here, although it is convenient to obtain materials, but after the wood is processed, how to transport it back, you must know that this road is very difficult to walk." Jing Zetian asked puzzled, he also walked the way he came, if he used this road, then transportation would be a big problem.
"Hehe, Young Master Jing, you don't have to worry about this, the reason why I chose here, first of all, there is a flat open space here, I have checked many places around my Huangjia Village, and there is a river not far from here, and it is still upstream, my workshop is just a simple processing of wood, just pull it directly to the river and put it in the water, and collect it downstream." Shopkeeper Huang said with a smile that he was still very satisfied with his location.
"So that's the case, Xiao Zhuozi, your news is incomplete this time, I remember you said that there is a river next to the shopkeeper's workshop, but you didn't say that there is here." Jing Zetian accused Xiao Zhuozi. To their own attendants, especially eunuchs, they should say it, otherwise their growth is too slow and they can't keep up with their pace, as for the palace maids, don't move their mouths when they should do it, and if they move their mouths, they must also do it, so that they can realize their mistakes.
"Young Master Jing, don't blame your servant, this is under the bottom of Xia who didn't know you at the time, so he didn't say it too completely." When Xiao Zhuozi was about to explain, Shopkeeper Huang interjected to explain.
"Well, so that's the case, Xiao Zhuozi, Xiao Dengzi, you two also learned from the experience this time, and when I ask you to do things in the future, you must make the news accurate and complete, you know." Jing Zetian continued to educate.
"Well, I got it, young master." Xiao Zhuozi and Xiao Dengzi replied honestly.
"Hehe, you're pretty strict with your subordinates." Huang Feiyan said with a relaxed face.
"Ah, the flying insects behind you, on your head." Jing Zetian stared at Huang Feiyan's head with a frightened expression.
"Huh? Daddy, come on, help me shoot it away. Huang Feiyan stepped on the ground quickly with both feet, and the grass on the ground had been completely trampled by him and there was no place to turn over, and his hands were also quickly patting his head, but always when he was shooting his head, he immediately withdrew it, and he didn't dare to shoot the insects, so this action has been repeating rapidly.
"Feiyan, where are the bugs, Young Master Jing is teasing you." Huang Lesong looked at his daughter with an embarrassed expression.
"Huh? You big liar, hmph, beat you to death. Huang Feiyan stayed for a moment, and after thinking about it, she knew that she was being teased, so she ran to Jing Zetian's side, and hammered towards Jing Zetian with her small fist.
Jing Zetian immediately dodged and ran towards the clearing under the hillock, and Huang Feiyan also chased after him shouting.
Huang Lesong shook his head helplessly when he saw this situation, and hurriedly followed.
"Hey, Your Highness and Miss Huang are having a lot of fun, do you want to take her as a concubine." Qiu Xiang suddenly said when she saw this.
"You also have this idea, our Royal Highness has not played with a girl of his age in the palace except for his sisters, but the Huang family is a family of merchants, if His Highness likes it, at most it will be a concubine." Ruhua also said on the side.
"Don't talk about this matter, this is not something that our subordinates can discuss, but you two really have a good chance of becoming His Highness's concubines in the future." Xiao Zhuozi said solemnly on the side.
"yes, yes, that's what I thought." Xiao Deng Zi echoed on the side.
Then it directly caused Qiu Xiang and Ruhua's faces to be red as if they were being burned, but they didn't refute it, and they still had a trace of expectation in their hearts.
"Alright, hurry up and follow His Highness." Xiao Zhuozi said.
