Cute little peasant girl: Love me through the family group!

Chapter 387 Bai Molin's Errand
Back then, Bai Zhiqing, who was a high school student, was sent to a remote place in Lizhou to serve as the county magistrate.

But now, his son Bai Molin also won the Tanhua, but entered the Ministry of Industry as the head of the sixth grade.

He joined a newly established department called the Department of Equipment Manufacturing, and the Department of Equipment Manufacturing seems to have only one official, Bai Molin, which is strange.

Although the head of the Ministry of Industry of the sixth rank is two levels higher than the editorial official rank of the Hanlin of the seventh rank, if he does not enter the Hanlin, he will lose his way to the cabinet, and the Ministry of Industry is the cheapest among the six ministries. To Tan Hualang, the Ministry of Industry is not It is a benefit.

The courtiers couldn't understand it. Didn't it always been rumored that the emperor was very familiar with the Bai family father and son?Why did the emperor arrange Bai Molin like this?

Could it be that... the emperor wants to choose the young lady of the Bai family as his queen, but he is also afraid that her family will become too powerful in the future, so he should take precautions before it happens?

But this kind of talk seems a bit far-fetched...

All the officials were puzzled.

Little do they know that this bureau is Xiao Jingyun's tailor-made main door for Bai Molin.

It is precisely because Xiao Jingyun knows Bai Molin very well, and knows that he is a person who doesn't like learning, that's why he was not allowed to be tortured in the Imperial Academy.

Xiao Jingyun also knew that Bai Molin was far more economical than Bai Zhiqing, but he didn't let Bai Molin enter the household department.

This move was not worried that father and son working together in the same department would dominate the household department and be detrimental to the imperial power, but because he knew that Bai Molin had engineering talents.

Xiao Jingyun once heard Yaya say that her family has a very powerful loom, the production efficiency is more than 20 times higher than that of ordinary looms, and this machine was invented by Bai Molin.

Although he has never seen the loom of the Bai family, he has seen the cloth woven by this kind of loom. Although the pattern may not be very exquisite, the cloth is extremely delicate and soft, which is enough to show that the quality of this machine is also high. .

This matter sounds a bit unbelievable, this kind of machine is not something that Daqing would have at all, but Xiao Jingyun believes what Yaya said.

Moreover, Xiao Jingyun has always felt that Bai Zhiqing's family are masters, and that things that are impossible for others are possible for their family.

Hearing that the output of looms made by Bai Molin was more than 20 times that of ordinary machines, Xiao Jingyun had a premonition that the changes brought about by this thing would greatly affect the future development of Daqing.

If this kind of machine can be vigorously promoted, the development of Daqing's textile industry will undergo tremendous changes, and since Bai Molin can improve spinning machines and looms, he should be able to improve other machines as well.

Xiao Jingyun had a vague premonition that if he could reuse Bai Molin, Daqing would undergo earth-shaking changes.

The Ministry of Industry was originally just a department in charge of civil engineering, water conservancy, mining and metallurgy, and weapon manufacturing engineering in Daqing, and there was no planned management on the way of machine manufacturing.

But ever since Yaya mentioned Bai's textile machinery, Xiao Jingyun had the idea of ​​bringing Bai Molin into the Ministry of Industry.

For this reason, Xiao Jingyun mentioned how popular Lou Rouya was in front of Bai Molin from time to time. Although he never encouraged him to take the exam, he frantically hinted that he wanted to take the exam.

Perhaps it was because of caring that he was in chaos, or perhaps it was because Bai Molin had never noticed Xiao Jingyun's ambition to conquer the world, and he didn't realize that Xiao Jingyun had another purpose in fooling him into taking the examination for fame.

Thanks to Bai Molin's clever mind, although he doesn't like the Four Books and Five Classics, he studied hard for a while, but he really got a good grade in the exam.

Xiao Jingyun didn't expect to take such a big step at first, but Bai Molin's scientific examination results gave him a surprise, so he specially established a new device manufacturing department.

And this Utensil Manufacturing Division does not have Lang Zhong and Foreign Yuan Lang. The head of the sixth rank is the biggest official of the department, and his subordinates are all low-level officials, such as Ling Shi, Zhang Gu, and Ting Chang are all under the supervision of the head.

Although Bai Molin is only a sixth-rank chief, he is actually the chief of the first department, and he has a lot of power in his hands.

Therefore, when Bai Zhiqing dragged Uncle Suning along with the official media to the upstairs mansion to propose marriage to Bai Molin, Lou Shangshu agreed without even thinking about it.

Lou Shangshu's old face turned into a flower with a smile.

"Okay! That's great! Zhiqing, we will get married in the future! I regretted not letting you become my son-in-law in the early years, but now your son becomes my grandson-in-law, which is all my regret. This is really Great!"

Lou Shangshu was really happy, he admired Bai Zhiqing from the bottom of his heart, and Ai Wu and Wu naturally also liked Bai Molin.

What's more, Bai Molin is also a very talented young gentleman, who passed the Tanhua exam at a young age, and this kid is proficient in general affairs, he is a good boy who can dance ink, martial arts, and business. The granddaughter is just right!
Bai Zhiqing said with a smile: "Master Lou, that is the fate of the two children, and thank you for fulfilling the fate of the two children."

"Hey~ what else do you call Mr. Lou, uncle! From now on, except in the yamen, you will have to call me uncle, we are in-laws." Lou Shangshu pretended to be unhappy and said.

Bai Zhiqing couldn't help but call out, "Uncle."

"Eh!"

In fact, Lou Shangshu would like to hear Bai Zhiqing call him father, but it's a pity that such a good young man is not Lou's son.

Thinking of this, Lou Shangshu patted Uncle Suning on the shoulder with a little jealousy in his excitement.

"Uncle Su Ning, this old man really envies you. There are two outstanding youngsters in the family, so why worry about the family not being prosperous! Thank you for taking the trouble to protect the matchmaker today."

These words happened to be captured by Uncle Suning's flattery. As the patriarch of the Bai clan, Uncle Suning wanted to hear the words of the prosperity of the family the most, so he also patted Lou Shangshu back twice excitedly.

"Master Lou is too polite! Hahaha~"

But the difference in strength and physique between a literati and a warrior is too great, Lou Shangshu can only be thankful that the floor of his home is covered with bluestone, otherwise he would be shot into the ground by Uncle Suning.

……

There are a total of six procedures in Daqing marriage engagement, which are accepting, asking for names, Najib, accepting registration, asking for a date, and welcoming in person.

Today, Bai Zhiqing hired a matchmaker to come to propose marriage and it was Na Cai.

The name asking and Na Cai are usually on the same day. If the woman's parents agree to have a conversation, they will hand over the name and birth date to the man, and let the man combine the horoscope.

If the woman's horoscope is not against the man's, she will come to the door with a marriage certificate, gift list and dowry, that is, Najib and Nazheng, and it is considered a formal marriage.

Then it is to discuss the wedding date and hold the wedding ceremony.

Now that Lou Shangshu has accepted the Bai family's marriage proposal, he has to hand over Lou Rouya's horoscope to the official matchmaker, and the official matchmaker will match the horoscope.

It's just the horoscope, the little old man like him can't remember the horoscope of his granddaughter, this thing is kept by his wife.

Lou Shangshu sent someone to the backyard to ask Mrs. Lou for Lou Rouya's horoscope.

Coincidentally, Mrs. Lou was in Mrs. Lou's courtyard. As soon as she heard Lou Shangshu's horoscope for Lou Rouya, she immediately became alert.

Mrs. Lou knew very well that there was only one situation where she needed to use the little lady's birthday horoscope, and that was to discuss relatives. Judging from the fact that Lou Shangshu loved Lou Rouya, the eldest granddaughter, the man was definitely not bad.
