Chapter 679: Replacing the Wang Family
"Dad, what are you thinking?"
"Ah, what?"
After the wandering thoughts were pulled back, Shen Yuxin stared at the somewhat puzzled face of his daughter in front of him, thinking of what he was thinking about just now, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Ahem, it's fine."
He waved his hand, changed the subject, and asked, "Did Huairen already bring the tea?"
"I've finished apprenticeship."
Shen Youqiu smiled helplessly, "Why are you so distracted, what are you thinking?" Don't you miss your mother?"
Shen Yuxin's old face flushed.
"What do you say, you kid?"
"Okay, okay, I know, I've been delaying for too long." Shen Youqiu blinked deliberately and said very understandingly, "Let's go back now, your earth soul has already gone back anyway."
"I didn't!" Shen Yuxin hurriedly denied it.
Guan Jintang laughed from the sidelines, and deliberately squeezed his eyebrows, "I think Mrs. is embarrassed to admit it, human nature, really, since this is the case, I won't keep you, but, remember to come back early tomorrow, by the way, the jerky you brought last time tasted good, if it's convenient, can Ming'er bring some relief to the master?"
Before, he was a friend's daughter, and he didn't want to make any requests, but now that he has apprenticed, he doesn't collect any money, and it's not too much to occasionally order something delicious.
"I'll bring it to you tomorrow!"
Shen Youqiu smiled happily: "Not only the dried meat, but the fish skin jelly made by my mother is also delicious, and I will bring you some tomorrow."
"Miss Shen can bring so much food, it seems that I will be able to relax at noon tomorrow." Caring Jen couldn't help but smile.
So, the father and daughter walked home in the moonlight.
Halfway through, Shen Yuxin couldn't help but ask, "Qiu'er, do you really like firing pottery?"
"Naturally, I really like it." Shen Youqiu smiled.
As long as it is related to fire, she has an extraordinary ability to control it, which makes her very interesting and fulfilling.
"Okay, Ming'er, I'll bring you here again to make a more formal apprenticeship ceremony, although I didn't show eagerness just now, but I know very well in my heart that a craftsman like Brother Guan can be regarded as this among all the craftsmen in our Great Song Dynasty."
As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up.
"People like him, I don't know how many people come to worship him, and I don't know how many people come to give gifts, and it's your blessing that people appreciate you, although he said that he doesn't need other apprenticeship etiquette, but we can't be vague ourselves, understand?"
"I understand."
Shen Youqiu nodded, "Do what Daddy says."
As she spoke, she said something else, "By the way, Dad, how is your iron armor doing?"
"It's still not perfect, but the success rate is higher than before." Shen Yuxin thought for a while before he said, "It's just, Youqiu, what are you doing when you suddenly want me to study this, do you want to do business with the imperial court?"
Although Shen Yuxin had already played the best weapons before, there was no publicity, and he did not continue to fight, mainly because the weapons and battle armor of the imperial court were the responsibility of the Ministry of War itself, and they had their own channels, and the Shen family did not plan to rob others of their existing business.
Moreover, at that time, the family felt that it was best not to produce things related to the imperial court, especially weapons, and always felt that it was easy to be involved in disputes.
Therefore, it has been mainly producing some agricultural and household things.
"Well, I think the materials used by our imperial army's army are really poor, we can provide better ones, why don't we provide them?" Shen Youqiu said lightly, "The most important thing is that the biggest imperial merchant who supplied these things to the imperial army before, do you know which one it is?"
"Which one?"
"The Wang family!"
Hearing this answer, Shen Yu was shocked, and then a look of indignation reappeared on his face, "It's actually their family?"
"Yes, can such a corrupt merchant make anything of good quality? War armor and weapons are all things that are closely related to the lives of our Great Song soldiers, and they must not be sloppy, so I think we can replace them."
"Yes."
Shen Yuxin hesitated a little and said, "However, I'm afraid our family doesn't have enough hands."
"Then recruit someone!"
Shen Youqiu smiled, "Dad, you don't have to worry, craftsmen are easy to find, there are people everywhere who want to eat to support their families, wait for me to find a time to promote our things."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Looking at his daughter's calm appearance, Shen Yuxin couldn't help but smile, and there was a feeling of relief and warmth in his heart.
My daughter has grown up and has her own opinions on doing things.
When he got home, Mo Shi had already been waiting, and when he saw the figures of the father and daughter gradually appearing in the dark, the heart that had been carrying it was finally put down.
"What's the matter, you're back so late?"
Shen Yuxin stepped forward with a smile and told him about Shen Youqiu becoming a disciple of Guan Jintang, especially Guan Jintang's amazement and praise for Shen Youqiu's talent, he said it very seriously and completely.
After listening, Mo couldn't help but be happy.
In this way, in the next few days, Shen Youqiu went to Guan's house early every day, concentrating on learning about the knowledge of pottery, sometimes Guan Jintang entered the palace and was not at home, she burned less pottery alone, and every time she could burn out extremely high-quality pottery, what made Guan Jintang even more amazed was that every time she burned out the pottery would be different from before, these differences reflect the beauty of various different pottery.
This made Guan Jintang even more amazed, I am afraid that it will not be long before my master will be useless.
But in the past few days, the court has not been so peaceful.
Yuan Guolai's envoys have always been worried, for fear that there will always be chaos in the future, but everything seems to be calm, just when they thought that everything would go smoothly, the crown princess had an accident.
"Come on, come on, come to the palace and ask for a doctor!"
In the dormitory of the Prince's Mansion, panicked shouts kept coming out.
The crown princess looked pained and frightened, her face was pale, and she was lying on the bed with her hands tightly covering her stomach, and her pale lips were constantly trembling.
"Child, my child!"
Beneath her, a scarlet of despair slowly spread.
"Crown Princess!"
The prince rushed over, and when he saw her like this, his eyes were suddenly split, and he rushed forward and rushed to her side, and asked with an ugly face, "What's the matter?" What the hell is going on!"
