Chapter 34: Alchemy and Glass
Xia Yanqing was reminded by Mama Li that the glaze a long time ago was a by-product of the Taoist priest's alchemy.
And the grandfather of the Tao family, who cultivated alchemy, he can have these things, it is likely that during the alchemy process, the lead in the pill material comes into contact with the crucible, and then has a high enough temperature to bless, so the glass is fired.
The glass piece inlaid on Tao Yunqing's phoenix golden hairpin is the largest one the size of a small fingernail, and it is very likely that it was peeled off from the alchemy furnace or dry pot.
Xia Yanqing's sudden expression on his face made Mama Li very surprised. In this way, the second grandmother is indeed very interested in Liuli, but the sudden awakening of the second grandmother's face has figured out something?
Mama Li couldn't think of why, so she had to remind: "Second grandma, Miss Tao has left, do you still want to change your clothes?" ”
Grandma Yuan told them to go early and return early, and not to stay outside. If the delay is long, I am afraid that Grandma Yuan is worried that they will have a bad pool.
"Well, let's go clean our hands." She came out with the excuse of going to the toilet, for the sake of her own credibility, it is better to go around in the past.
This trip followed the little lady Tao, although the harvest was not big, but it was not small.
At present, it seems that the only way she can use it to make a career is to make glass. But modern glass production, that is with modern production equipment, there is absolutely no such conditions here.
What she thought was that if she could find a small workshop for making glass, she would be able to check out some of her modern memories on the basis of the small workshop and expand and reconstruct the workshop.
Although this trip failed for her to find the glaze workshop, the Taoist alchemy gave her inspiration.
Without modern glass production devices, Taoist alchemy furnaces and crucibles should be found. That is to say, her glass way to make a fortune is likely to work.
Yes, it doesn't make sense that in the Middle Ages, Europe began to decorate churches with glass, and she, a traveler, would not be able to do what the native ancients could do.
She delayed for a moment, and by the time she returned, it had been a long time.
Not only did the Yuan family send the big girl Yingrong out to wait for her, but even the Yang family and the Gao family of the Xia family, the four eyes of the two of them couldn't stop looking at the door, and when they saw her come back, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Xia Yanqing stood back to Yuan's side with a calm face, his face was not red and his heart was not beating at all. It's a little longer, but the personal situation is different, can I still set a time to go to the toilet?
Xia Yanqing, who was so calm and relaxed, surprised Yuan very much. The younger brother and daughter-in-law who have not dealt with the social circle of the female dependents in the capital are actually very calm.
After that, Xia Yanqing was very obedient, followed the trend in everything, and did not embarrass her in-laws and mother-in-law at all.
Xu Qinghui is also good over there, she has been serving Mrs. Liu, and she doesn't say much.
Although her current status is embarrassing because of the Xia family's horizontal insertion, she is still generous, and there is no resentment and jealousy at all, so that the female relatives in Beijing really appreciate her virtuous and virtuous virtues.
It wasn't until the end of the banquet that when the Zhao family of Shangshu Mansion saw off the guests, they quietly left Mrs. Jiang for a moment and told Xia Zitang about the situation.
Mrs. Jiang listened to Zhao's story, and her face immediately turned white.
She knows what kind of character her son has. Her family Zitang, how could she casually fight with people? It's still two people fighting with a group of people, and her son is not so brainless.
Xia Zitang's wife, Gao, was even more anxious, grabbed Zhao's hand, and asked in a loud voice: "Madam, my fourth master is him, is he okay?" Is he okay? ”
Seeing that Mrs. Jiang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were in a hurry, Zhao hurriedly comforted: "Mrs. and the two grandmothers don't have to worry, my eldest master asked the imperial doctor to go to your house, and he has already seen the fourth son." I replied that it was no big deal, so I didn't tell you in advance. ”
Seeing that Mrs. Jiang's face was still not improving, she continued to explain: "We don't know exactly how it happened. Shao Gongzi said, good manners, your fourth son rushed up to do it, and your fourth son did not explain a word. We really can't help it. ”
As he spoke, Zhao looked embarrassed and helpless. According to common sense, this matter must be ignored by Shao Yi and a few others, but Xia Zitang didn't say anything, and others really couldn't do anything.
Although Mrs. Jiang was angry, she was more worried about her son. Besides, what is going on, she will go back and ask her son, and she will know that there is no need for the Zhao family to lie.
She tried her best to ease her face, and Shi Li said: "In this way, this matter has nothing to do with the house, but my family Zitang has caused trouble to the house." When I go back and ask the reason, I will come to the house to apologize. ”
The Zhao family hurriedly returned the salute, and said that they were not well taken care of, and when they settled down the marriage matters in the mansion, they would definitely visit Xia Zitang.
Mrs. Jiang was worried about her son's injury, thanked her for a few words, and left with her two daughters-in-law.
Xia Yanqing couldn't help muttering in his heart when he saw that his mother was left behind, and he didn't see the second brother and the fourth brother coming to pick up his mother by the carriage outside the door.
After communicating with Mrs. Liu, she explained the maid Xinxiu to the servants of the Xia family and asked her to go back to her parents' house to find out the news.
Early in the morning of the second day, as soon as the door of the Wang's Mansion opened, Xinxiu came back, and also brought the news of the fight between Xia Zitang and Shao Yi and the other five gentlemen, as well as a group of retinues.
At this time, the people of the Wang family had not yet eaten breakfast, and Xia Yanqing asked Xia Zitang clearly that he was only injured, and did not hurt his lungs and muscles, and his heart was a little calm.
Forced himself to calm down, served the breakfast of Mrs. Liu and several people, and waited for Wang Tao and Wang Xi to leave, Xia Yanqing asked Mrs. Liu to go back to her parents' house to visit her brother.
Xia Yanqing heard the news brought back by Xinxiu this morning, and only then did he know that Xia Zitang had a fight with someone yesterday. And Mrs. Liu and Yuan, when Wang Tao came back last night, they knew.
It's just that it was late yesterday, and if the matter was serious, the Xia family would send someone to inform them, so they didn't send a message to Xia Yanqing.
At this time, hearing that Xia Yanqing was going back to her parents' house to visit, Mrs. Liu immediately nodded. It's good to go back and take a look, and by the way, you can ask your son-in-law what the hell is going on.
There are many princes and nobles in the capital, everyone can let that Shao Yi, how can the fourth master of the Xia family provoke him.
If it's just ordinary trouble, it's okay, thinking that Shao Yi has fought too much, he shouldn't hold a grudge. If there is really an unusual reason, Xia Zitang is remembered by Shao Yi, then it is difficult to say.
The Xia family is indeed powerful, and it is also a prestigious family, but compared with the sons and nephews valued by the emperor, I am afraid that it is not enough to see.
"It's time to go back and see, the two sons of the in-laws are good children who are polite and sensible, and there must always be a reason to conflict with others." Mrs. Liu paused, and then advised, "Then study your homework first, and then go back in the afternoon." Mr. Bai can't be allowed to run this trip in vain. ”
"Yes, as my mother commands." Xia Yanqing hurriedly agreed. As long as she is promised to go back, as for Mrs. Liu's tone, if she wants her to go back to her parents' house to find out the reason for the fourth brother's fight, she must be willing to tell her.
