Jiafu, Mengpo Zhai.

After Jia Huan respectfully gave Jia Yu and Jia Zheng a salute, he asked Jia Zhen and Jia Lian to say goodbye.

It's just that I have some doubts in my heart, Jia Zheng is Jia Yu's younger brother, and Jia Zhen is the patriarch of the Jia clan.

Even if you want to discuss things, you shouldn't all crowd into Jia Zheng's Mengpo Zhai for a meeting.

However, when he got up and saw that everyone's eyes were on him, Jia Huan's heart suddenly burst out, knowing that he was afraid that today's incident was related to him.

Sure enough......

"Brother Huan, what's going on with that cement on your Zhuangzi? In the past few days, I have heard many colleagues discussing this thing, and the eldest master and your eldest brother Zhen are not very bothered, and they are very annoying. ”

Jia Zheng's face was indifferent, and his tone was flat and slightly bored.

In front of the public, Jia Zheng has always been the role of a strict father.

And it seems that Jia Yu and Jia Zhen did make him a little annoyed.

Jia Zheng is a well-known Confucian scholar, where is he willing to pay attention to these worldly disgusting things.

The last time I went to Zhuangzi, although I also sighed at the wonderful use of cement, but that's all.

It is more to praise Jia Huan's owner for doing a good job, so that the faces of the people on the Zhuangzi are filled with happy smiles, and he praises Jia Huan from a humanistic point of view.

After Jia Huan heard Jia Zheng's words, he said respectfully: "Back to my father's words, I found that the cement was just an accident. The son's Zhuangzi has a total of 100 acres of land, but because there is a bare gray stone mountain in the territory, there are only about 70 acres of land that can really produce grain.

In order to solve the problem, the child went to the gray stone mountain to take a look, and unexpectedly found that the ground at the foot of the gray stone mountain was actually covered with a layer of gray hard mud, and it was precisely because of this layer of mud that the land near the gray stone mountain on Zhuangzi was meager.

However, when we tried to remove this layer of plaster, we found that this layer of mud was beyond imagination, and then the child used his brain to make cement. ”

"That'...... Why did the Zhenguo Mansion ask you to pave the road with a thousand taels of silver? ”

Jia Yu stroked the long gray beard under his chin, and asked in a long voice that was not very angry.

A pair of cloudy eyes stared at Jia Huan condescendingly.

Jia Huan smiled very humbly and said: "Back to the old man's words, it is like this, the steward of the Zhenguo Mansion who takes care of Zhuangzi in the south of the city accidentally discovered that the road at the intersection of my nephew Zhuangzi has been repaired with cement. He saw that the road was not bad, so he told Niu Shibo of the Zhenguo Mansion, and then the steward came to his nephew and said that he wanted to buy his nephew's cement.

But the nephew pondered, this Zhenguo Mansion and our Rongguo Mansion are world friends, the two families have been friends since the time of their great-grandfather, Niu Shibo wants to use a little cement, where to talk about what to sell or not, just take it and use it.

If it's for a few taels of silver, wouldn't it be a loss of the dignity of our Rongguo Mansion to learn such bitter calculations as mud legs?

Although the nephew has left the house, he is still surnamed Jia, and he is still the son of Rongguo Gong, the son of his father, this kind of thing to smear the face of his ancestors and father, the nephew will never dare to do.

So the nephew rejected the proposal of the steward, and arranged for the construction team on the Zhuangzi to pave the way for the Zhuangzi in the Zhenguo Mansion.

Who knows, after learning his nephew's statement, Niu Shibo was not only unwilling to accept his nephew's kindness in vain, but also said that it was not easy for his nephew to set up a door, and he would make a living to do it, how could he, who was an uncle, have the face to take advantage of? If he behaved like this, then he, who was a prince, would have no more face on his face, so he forcibly gave his nephew a thousand taels of silver.

After Niu Shibo got up, the next few families who also wanted to use their nephew's cement to pave the road did so, even Uncle Baoling Hou Shijia, but the nephew didn't know what to do. ”

Jia Huan's words made the faces of everyone in the hall different, among which Jia Yu's face was the most exciting.

A pro-uncle and a Niu Shibo, the practices of the two are completely different directions, and the contrast is even more distinct......

After a blush change on his face, Jia Yu slapped the table abruptly and shouted, "Do you still know the face of Rongguo Mansion?" Since you know the face of Rongguo Mansion, you should live your life in Zhuangzi and don't have any delusions that you shouldn't have. It's martial arts again, it's cement again, what do you want to do? Do you know that because of this cement matter, there is already a royal history writing a recital, ready to impeach the father at the opening ceremony! It's all you, you obstacle! ”

Jia Yu was furious, the hall was suddenly quiet, everyone's faces became delicate again, and even Jia Zheng's face was a little anxious.

It's not that he's afraid that impeachment will have a big impact on him, Jia Zheng is just worried that these impeachments will damage his reputation......

However, the smile on Jia Huan's face remained the same, and he said loudly: "Back to the eldest master, my nephew has already learned the news from Niu Shibo of the Zhenguo Mansion.

Niu Shibo cared for his nephew very much, and after hearing the news, he immediately sent someone to call his nephew and told him a few words. He also told his nephew to give the cement recipe to his father, so that his father could present it to the imperial court.

In this way, outsiders have nothing to say, and no one can worry about it, and my father and our Jiafu can still get some convenience. ”

Jia Huan's words made everyone's faces change again, however, his words were not finished: "Also, the eldest lord may not know, not only those imperial historians are using their brains, it seems that some generals in the army also have this idea."

Because cement is a building material, it is very easy to use, not only in building cities and roads, but also in building military camps and military construction sites.

Therefore, as long as my father presents this recipe, and Niu Shibo helps him talk, I think that the saint will definitely be happy. ”

As soon as Jia Huan's words fell, he saw Jia Yu get up suddenly, and then walked away with an expressionless face.

Behind him, Jia Zhen bothered Jia Zheng, and left immediately, and the two did not look at Jia Huan again.

Behind the two, Jia Lian's face was a little complicated and a little entangled, but after all, he got up and whispered a few words to Jia Zheng, and after seeing that Jia Zheng nodded without displeasure, Fang Hai breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.

Just before leaving, he deliberately nodded to Jia Huan.

Jia Huan responded with a smile.

After everyone went out, Jia Zheng couldn't help but let out a sigh, and when he looked at Jia Huan again, he had a smile on his face.

The smile on Jia Huan's face was much brighter, he groped in his sleeve pocket for a while, and found a fist-sized tomato, and then looked at Jia Zheng with a thief's eyebrows, and said, "Father, tomatoes, do you want to eat them?" ”

Where can Jia Zheng still maintain Father Yan's frame in front of this evil obstacle, after glaring at Jia Huan fiercely, he laughed out loud again, and said, "I don't know who I learned from so mean and slippery, squeezing the eldest master...... Also, when did you become so close to Niu Jizong? ”

Jia Huanle said: "Father, you are too underestimating the child. You are a member of Confucianism, so naturally you don't know anecdotes about martial arts...... A child with a clear bones, a martial arts wizard who has not been born for a hundred years, in the eyes of a real martial artist, it is simply that everyone loves flowers and flowers! In addition, Niu Shibo used to be his grandfather's personal soldier for such a trivial auxiliary reason, which made Niu Shibo pay special attention to his son. He also specially told the children to wait for the children in the Zhenguo Mansion on the afternoon of the first day of the new year......"

"Fart!"

Jia Zheng, an elegant and abiding by Confucianism, was scolded by this erector, obviously because Niu Jizong had been Rong Guogong's pro-soldier team, and with this origin, he would look at Jia Huan differently, but when it came to Jia Huan's mouth, this became a trivial reason, and the reason for his own narcissistic speculation became the main reason.

However, looking at Jia Huan, who ate the tomatoes in three or two bites and smiled with a sunny face, Jia Zheng couldn't afford to be really angry, and after snorting twice, he said: "I see that you have grown a lot taller, your face has darkened a lot, and you are still used to living in Zhuangzi?" ”

Jia Huan said: "Father, my son is living happily in Zhuangzi...... Of course, in the dead of night, I often miss my father to the point that I can't sleep......" Seeing Jia Zheng's unkind eyes, Jia Huan quickly changed the topic: "Ahem! Father, this is not called black, this is called health. By the way, my aunt also asked me to bring you a pair of shoes and send them to you later. Well, also, this is the cement recipe. ”

After glaring at Jia Huan angrily, Jia Zheng reached out and took the prescription he handed over, swept his eyes casually, and then hesitated, and said in a low voice: "You hand over the prescription, then you ...... What about your side? Do you want to go back after sacrificing your ancestors today? Get back? Well, come back again when you are leaving, for the Father there is still some silver, so take it first. ”

When Jia Huan heard this, his heart was hot, and he shook his head with a smile and said, "Father, don't worry, my son is not short of silver." And, father, why don't you ask the child where the tomatoes come from? ”

Jia Zheng frowned at first, then was stunned, and then suddenly said: "I said that I always felt that something was wrong just now, yes, Brother Huan, where did you get this tomato from?" It doesn't seem to be in the warm kiln of the house, right? ”

Jia Huan said with a smile: "Father, this is the business that my son will make money in the future!" ”

When Jia Zheng heard this, he looked at Jia Huan and frowned and said, "You have set up a warm kiln greenhouse in Zhuangzi and want to grow vegetables and sell them?" Why? ”

Jia Huan Zhengse said: "Father, it's not because he hasn't come here yet, although his son is still young now, after all, he has already been divided into separate houses, even if he has his father's help, he can't sit and eat empty." Although Zhuangzi is not big, there are also 100 people to raise. It's hard to say whether cement is a business or not, but it can't be big after all, so my son has to think of something else. ”

Jia Zheng's face was a little embarrassed, and his eyes were a little more compassionate, and he said, "But if you sell vegetables, how much income can you have?" You make cement for hundreds of taels of silver, and this vegetable can't have these benefits, right? ”

Jia Huan said with a smile: "As soon as it comes, the cement will not stop immediately, and some more can be made." Second, my father should not underestimate this kind of dish. The child knows that many of the princes' mansions in Shenjing have their own warm kiln greenhouses, and they can also grow their own vegetables.

But most of their greenhouses are the same as those in the house, and it is great to be able to grow some green vegetables and leeks, but they can't grow tomatoes, green peppers and eggplants.

When my son sends them a basket tomorrow, and when they eat it, they will remember to buy it from their son! ”

PS: According to traditional records, during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, tomatoes were introduced to China, because they came from the foreign Fanbang, so they were called tomatoes. Of course, there are also reports that as early as the Western Han Dynasty 2,000 years ago, there were small tomatoes.
