Ji Tang

Chapter 743 Is there anything else that I don’t know?
Three days later, the steward of the glass workshop hurried to the Hou Mansion with ten pieces of freshly baked glass.

"Master Marquis, this is already the best. After a whole batch, only these ten pieces can meet your requirements."

"Look."

Ji Song opened it and saw that it was indeed much stronger than the last time, but there were still some bubbles or different colors in some places!
However, the good news is that a portion of each piece is pure and transparent.

"Enough, these are enough."

Ji Song was overjoyed and said, "You continue to bake until at least half of it is pure."

He knows that it is not easy to achieve this level. There are no sophisticated screening and purification processes. It is good to find raw materials in nature to achieve this level.

"Okay, let everyone take a break, don't worry about the rest!"

After saying this, he didn't waste any time, just took the horse and left.

When I walked to the door of Zhuangzi, I saw many people waiting, including my third uncle.

"Three uncles?"

He quickly dismounted and supported his third uncle, wondering: "What are you doing? Why are you waiting here?"

The third uncle held Ji Song's hand tightly and said, "Why are you leaving again just after you came back? Did someone say something?"

"Tell your third uncle and see if I don't slap his mouth."

"Have you all forgotten your last name? It's impossible to forget?"

Ji Song grabbed his third uncle and said with a wry smile: "Where are you? My grandson is going to Chang'an for business. It's none of other people's business."

The third uncle was stunned and asked, "Did something happen?"

How could Ji Song dare to tell him about the solar eclipse? If word of this accidentally spread, Ji would also be in trouble.

All he could say was: "Don't worry, my grandson has never seen any big storms in these years. It is indeed an emergency this time."

"You stay well at Zhuangzi. I will take the children to see you later."

When the third uncle heard that Ji Song was bringing the child back, how could he care about anything else.

He quickly said: "Okay, okay, you must bring Run'er and the others back. It's been a while since we last met, and I can't even sleep thinking about them."

Ji Song smiled bitterly. If it weren't for You Ning's strict control, Ji Run would probably be doted on by his third uncle and become his second generation ancestor.

"Okay, you and everyone else should go back quickly, I'm leaving soon."

The third uncle saw that Ji Song was really anxious, so he let go of Ji Song's hand and warned, "Remember, the children must come back!"

"I know, I can't forget it."

Ji Song didn't dare to delay, so he mounted his horse and left.

The third uncle looked at Ji Song's back and said with emotion: "I've only been back for a few days and I'm leaving. It's really..."

Then he shook his head and said to everyone: "I know you have some resentment towards Brother Song, but remember, don't let me hear anything unpleasant."

"Our Ji family can live without anyone, but we cannot live without him. Don't you know how many things he has done for this family over the years?"

"Go back and tell them to wait another three years. If they haven't come back in three years, I will allow them to remarry. But to be clear, the children must stay at home. There is no need to say this."

"I, Mrs. Ji, are not unreasonable. Only here can our children receive the best education. I'm sure they'll get some supercilious looks after I go back."

Liu Gu said: "Don't worry, we won't stop you from this. Being able to stay here for seven years is already a injustice to them."

"Huh, mistreatment? Why did their family forget it in the first place? Forget it, you just have to figure it out!"

The third uncle, dressed in desolate clothes, walked back step by step with a cane.
When Ji Song returned to Chang'an, he didn't go home and went straight to Ji's shop.

Shopkeeper Qian happened to be here today to take stock of the goods. When he heard that Mr. Hou was coming, he hurriedly walked out. "Master Hou, what are you doing?"

Shopkeeper Qian said in surprise when he saw Mr. Hou who was dressed in a dusty outfit.

"It's okay. Do you know who is the best jade polisher in Chang'an?" Ji Song waved his hand and asked directly.

"Jade master?"

Shopkeeper Qian looked at his Lord Marquis strangely and didn't know what to say.

Ji Song was confused and said impatiently: "Do you know? I don't know that I have found someone else."

Shopkeeper Qian quickly said: "Have you forgotten? Our family is the largest jade trader in the Tang Dynasty. Of course the best jade master is in our family."

Ji Song was speechless, looked at Shopkeeper Qian and said, "The largest jade merchant? Why don't I know about it?"

He was confused, how many things he didn't know about this?

"This needs to be said, how about I report to you when the Marquis has time?" Shopkeeper Qian said cautiously.

Ji Song was stunned, could there be something else in here?How big is your business?
"You inform the other stewards that all those who can come back by the end of this year will come back. I will personally attend to this year's meeting."

What the hell is going on, but don’t let anything happen to you!
He has not cared much about business matters in recent years, but now it seems that some things are beyond his control.This is not a good thing, so it’s better to sort it out.

But this matter is not urgent. Most of the managers will return to Chang'an at the end of the year, and we will talk about it then.

"Go and invite the people here, and bring the tools and tools. I have something to ask him to do."

Shopkeeper Qian breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "Young man, go right away."

Half an hour later, shopkeeper Qian led three old men to the store. It looked like they were in a hurry on the way.

"See you Lord Hou!"

Ji Song nodded, pointed at the things on the ground and said, "I want you to polish all these things into special lenses of different sizes."

Then he took out a piece of paper and handed it to them, saying: "This is my request. Remember, it must be perfect. The mirror surface cannot have any scratches or wear."

"You guys take a look first and estimate how long it will take."

The three shopkeepers were not polite. When they saw the transparent and colorless glass, they were stunned.

"This Liuli?"

"That's right. Let's see if you can polish it the way I want it to be. How long will it take?"

The three of them looked at each other and made calculations secretly.

"Three days, as long as three days, these will turn into what the Marquis wants." One of them said confidently.

"Master Hou, I only need two days"

"One day for me."

Ji Song said impatiently: "Okay, don't argue, I'll give you three days. If you can't get what I need, you know the consequences."

After speaking, he said to Shopkeeper Qian: "Keep this matter secret first and don't let others know. When it's ready, get it to the Marquis Mansion immediately. I need it urgently!"

Shopkeeper Qian's expression changed, knowing that this matter was very important, and promised: "Don't worry, Mr. Hou, I will send it to you as soon as possible."

Ji Song nodded and said nothing more.He still had other things to prepare, so he said: "Go find some good carpenters and ask them to come to the Marquis' Mansion. I have something to explain to you."

"It's Lord Hou!"
