Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 398 Su Jing’s blind date

"My boss, I wonder if you will be on site to deliver the goods tomorrow?"

Li Mingyou asked Su Jing.

Su Jing smiled slightly and said: "What's wrong? Isn't Sun Ping enough about the delivery?"

Su Jing knew exactly what Li Mingyou was thinking, but it wasn't time to tell the truth yet.

Li Mingyou said: "My boss, I'm not saying that shopkeeper Sun is not good, but I said a lot of good things when I went to Dongming Cloth Shop this time. You also know, boss, that there is a competitive relationship between Dongming Cloth Shop and Su's Cloth Shop." , being able to help is purely based on my friendship.”

"If my boss doesn't show up at this time, as long as shopkeeper Sun comes forward, I'm afraid the other party will think that you underestimated him."

Li Mingyou's preparations were quite sufficient, but the actual purpose was naturally not what he said.

Su Jing is here, then the slap in the face will be complete.

Otherwise, if you give Su Jing enough time to react, I'm afraid this matter will turn into a big deal and become a trivial matter in the end.

There is no way, Li Mingyou has always had great trust in Su Jing's ability.

"I see, Shopkeeper Li is very thoughtful."

Su Jing nodded and said: "In that case, I will attend tomorrow so that I can personally thank the shopkeeper of Dongming Clothing Store. I am really grateful for being able to provide help in times of need."

"My boss said that even I didn't expect the other party to agree to it this time."

Li Mingyou nodded repeatedly and said, "Then I won't disturb my boss and will leave first."

Su Jing said: "Shopkeeper Li has helped me so much, otherwise I would treat you to a meal."

Li Mingyou shook his head and said: "My boss, let's do it next time. I still have a lot of things to do in the store. I will go to my boss's dinner after this incident is settled."

"That's okay, Shopkeeper Li, walk slowly. I have something to do and I can't leave here, so I won't send you away."

Su Jing said to Li Mingyou.

Li Mingyou bowed his hands and bowed slightly: "My boss, I'll leave then."

After saying that, Li Mingyou slowly stepped back, very respectfully.

However, as soon as he turned around, a different smile appeared on his face.

Su Jing, let me see how you can survive this difficulty this time!

Li Mingyou has been afraid of Su Jing for more than a day or two, and now he finally got the chance.

After this operation, he believed that even Su Jing would be powerless by then.

Su Jing didn't care at all about Li Mingyou's departure, she just continued to observe whether her wheel mold had cooled down.

Now Su Jing couldn't wait to take off the film, took out the tire and installed it on the wheel to try it out.

……

Yingtian Mansion, the Forbidden City.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and had a sad look on his face.

The reason is naturally very simple.

Zhu Fan has relayed all the contents of exploitation and exploitation that Su Jing told him to Zhu Yuanzhang.

The things inside really shocked Lao Zhu and gave him a headache.

Because according to Su Jing, if things really change, the first thing that will be harmed is the interests of those with vested interests.

That is, the interests of the princes and nobles.

Su Jing analyzed Shang Yang's previous reforms quite thoroughly, and Zhu Yuanzhang also felt that he had gained a lot.

"Su Jing, Su Jing, you always come up with theories that are shocking but also deeply correct."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, feeling that it was very difficult for him to be the emperor now.

There are so many problems in Ming Dynasty, but there is no good way to solve them. We can't leave them all to Zhu Biao.

"Chongpachi, why are you so anxious?"

Queen Ma's voice sounded, and she had already arrived at the Fengxian Hall.

The only one who came in directly without a call was Empress Ma.

"Sister, why are you here?"

Lao Zhu was a little surprised and asked curiously.

Empress Ma smiled and said, "Didn't I come to see you? You seem to be worried and have not changed since Fan'er came back."

"Just a little thing."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "It's just that Su Jing said some irrelevant words, which made us worried."

"Oh, Chongba, why are you so stubborn in front of me? Mr. Su's words are always correct."

Empress Ma smiled and said, "If you really don't understand, you can go and ask Mr. Su yourself. Mr. Su is not someone who hides things."

Lao Zhu immediately said: "Sister, what you said is that we are the emperor, so what does it mean to run to Su Jing for nothing? It would be fine if there was no showdown before, but it cannot be done now."

Lao Zhu is not entirely face-saving, but as an emperor, he cannot be so casual in his words and deeds.

Su Jing's current favor is already quite great.

Queen Ma smiled and said: "Okay, okay, anyway, this is your business as the emperor. I, the queen, will not interfere. However, I came to see you because I have other matters."

As a queen whom Lao Zhu respects immensely, Queen Ma knows what's appropriate.

There are some things that she just shouldn't get involved in too much.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes moved and he said: "Sister, you came to me all the time, it must be something serious."

Empress Ma smiled and replied: "This matter is neither big nor small."

"Ok?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "Isn't it related to Su Jing?"

"Ha ha!"

Empress Ma laughed and nodded: "Chongba, you really hit the mark right away. Yes, it is related to Mr. Su."

"Humph!"

Lao Zhu snorted coldly and said with some dissatisfaction: "It's really for Su Jing, this kid is really evil!"

Queen Ma immediately came behind Lao Zhu and rubbed his shoulders: "Chongba, I care about Mr. Su, and that's for Biao'er and Daming. What you said is a little wrong!"

Lao Zhu felt the comfort on his shoulders, relaxed his frown and said, "For Daming? Why is this so important?"

Queen Ma smiled faintly: "You guess."

"Let's think about it."

Lao Zhu immediately began to think, and after a while, he came up with the answer: "It can't be Su Jing's marriage."

It should be said that Lao Zhu's mind is not stupid at all, he is quite bright.

"Chongba, it seems that you are also very concerned about Mr. Su's marriage. My coming here is indeed related to Mr. Su's marriage, but the specifics will depend on the situation."

Queen Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said slowly.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked in confusion: "What do you mean? Are there any variables in Su Jing's marriage? No, we don't remember who Su Jing is with?"

Queen Ma immediately said: "It is precisely because Mr. Su has no partner that it is difficult to talk about this matter. I asked Chen'er to send a message to Mr. Su before, and Mr. Su also replied to me. He is not married now. The target, but he doesn’t reject it himself and can go on a blind date.”

"It's just that we need to understand the basic situation with Mr. Su first, so that we can have a conversation when we meet again."

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang finally understood.He looked at Queen Ma and said, "So, sister, when you come today, have you already found someone for Su Jing to go on a blind date with?"

Empress Ma nodded and said, "That's right, I've found it, but I don't know if it's suitable or not. I have to let you look after it, Chongba."

"Okay! This kid Su Jing has never gotten married. He is very ambitious. It would be a good thing if he could get married soon."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "In this way, there will be a woman who can take care of him."

Lao Zhu had been angry with Su Jing many times, and now he was quite interested when he heard that he could help Su Jing get married.

"come in."

Queen Ma said loudly.

Then a group of eunuchs walked in slowly, ten in total, each holding a portrait in front of them. The portraits were all young women, who were the blind dates chosen by Empress Ma for Su Jing.

This made Lao Zhu dumbfounded. He pointed at the portraits and said, "Sister, you picked so many at once? We thought it was just one."

Empress Ma immediately explained: "Mr. Su is not an ordinary person. I have been thinking about it and can't think of a suitable one. I can only choose more. This way, even if Mr. Su doesn't like it, I still have alternatives."

Lao Zhu did not refute this.

Because in his heart, with Su Jing's ability, she can indeed be picky.

Queen Ma continued: "These women are all unmarried women of the right age. The first one is Cao Guogong's niece Li, who has a delicate appearance and is good at playing the harp. The second one is Tang, the sister of the Marquis of Yan'an." Mr. Luoluo is generous..."

The ten women were all carefully selected by Queen Ma.

Needless to say, they were born into the families of heroes of the Ming Dynasty. In terms of appearance, they were all above average and had their own skills.

It can be said that no matter which one it is, it is quite outstanding.

However, when Lao Zhu looked at these portraits, his expression was always quite calm.

The most important thing in marrying Su Jing is political factors.

Appearance and ability are not the things that Lao Zhu values ​​most.

There is no way, in this Ming Dynasty, the status of women is not that high, historical factors cannot be changed.

In the current Ming Dynasty, the relationship between Su Jing and the Huaixi Party is not very good.

Lao Zhu has not yet thought clearly about whether Su Jing's wife can be a woman from the Huaixi Party.

The East Zhejiang Party has similar considerations.

"What should I say? Chongba, which one do you think is more suitable?"

Empress Ma asked Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said: "Okay, you can go down."

The eunuchs holding the portraits then retreated one by one, and only Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma were left in the Fengxian Hall.

Empress Ma noticed something strange and said, "What? Chongba, do you think none of them are suitable?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Sister, Su Jing's status is special, and she will become Biao'er's biggest helper in the future. For this important matter of marriage, we think it is best for the person's background not to be the children of these newly crowned heroes."

Marriage is a common method in politics, and Lao Zhu does not reject it.

However, he has his own considerations when it comes to Su Jing.

Queen Ma looked at Lao Zhu and said, "Chongba, you always wanted to do this before? Why don't you want to do it now?"

Regarding Su Jing's marriage, Lao Zhu had discussed it with Queen Ma.

The idea at that time was to let Su Jing marry the daughter of a meritorious official, so as to strengthen the relationship with the Ming Dynasty court and facilitate the Ming Dynasty's use.

Now that such opposite thoughts appeared, Queen Ma was really surprised.

Zhu Yuanzhang replied: "Sister, the situation is different. It is too early for Su Jing to enter the court now, and it is not appropriate to get involved too deeply. In this way, if Biao'er has something to do with Su Jing in the future, he will need to consider it."

That's right, Lao Zhu's idea is to turn Su Jing into Zhu Biao's sharp sword.

Since it is a sharp sword, it must be wielded decisively and not be disturbed by foreign objects.

In this case, it would be best for Su Jing to be 'alone'.

Only an independent minister can become a sharp sword.

Empress Ma listened to Lao Zhu's words and said: "Chongba, but if this is the case, how can an ordinary woman be worthy of Mr. Su? If we only find an ordinary woman, wouldn't we belittle Mr. Su?"

Su Jing is now the Marquis of Renyuan. Although he does not hold an official position, this will not hinder Su Jing's status.

The hero woman is at least a match in terms of birth.

Being a good match is very important in Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Sister, you are right. We need to find a woman with a good background but no family ties for Su Jing. This is the most suitable one."

"You made it simple. Find one and show it to me."

Empress Ma was a little unhappy. It made no difference whether Zhu Yuanzhang said this or not.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "Sister, we are just discussing the matter, and we are not rushing you."

Empress Ma snorted coldly and said: "Mr. Su is not young anymore. This matter should be settled earlier. I'll leave first. You can continue to deal with your memorial."

After saying this, Queen Ma left Fengxian Hall directly without giving any face to Lao Zhu.

She had been thinking about the candidates for a long time, but there was no suitable candidate, so it was understandable that she would be angry.

"Ah~"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, and then turned his attention to Su Jing: "It's you again, Su Jing, you kid is really restless wherever you go!"

……

"Ah!"

In the early morning, when the sun rose, Su Jing woke up from her sleep with a sneeze.

He rubbed his nose and started washing.

In the yard, there is a wheel with tires installed on it. There are small wheels with brackets on the left and right sides of the wheel.

Yes, this is exactly what Su Jing designed to test her homemade rubber tires.

No way, to extract rubber from dandelions, the dandelions needed are not at 01:30.

Su Jing could barely extract a tire from a yard of dried dandelions. This was because the wheels of carriages in the Ming Dynasty were relatively narrow.

It is definitely not easy to test the strength of a wheel, so Su Jing added support wheels on the left and right sides of the wheel, just like the bicycles that children rode when they first learned to ride bicycles in their previous lives.

In this way, it can barely be tested.

"The effect is there, but it's still a long way from being put into actual use!"

Su Jing looked at the rubber wheel and shook her head slightly.

The low-quality hand-rubbed rubber makes it very difficult to actually equip it on a carriage.

The huge weight of the carriage puts a lot of pressure on the narrow wooden wheels.

In Su Jing's weight test, rubber is prone to irreversible deformation, which is an unacceptable shortcoming for tires.

If you want to change, in addition to improving the strength of the rubber itself, you also need to widen the tires.

As for inflating, Su Jing has not considered it for the time being. The sealing property cannot be achieved by rubbing rubber by hand.

Just be solid, just like the shared bicycle tires from a previous life.
