Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 217 Iron Kan Temple

Leting.

The blast furnaces and coke ovens were towering, with black smoke rising into the sky. All the more than 200 households in Xujiazhai were moved to Liaodong. The money given by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Industry for land acquisition was sufficient, but the government promised to allocate good farmland.

However, the people of Xujiazhai still supported the old and the young, and drove the donkey cart happily to Liaodong. A little calculation shows that each household received roughly forty taels of silver. How much money does it cost to dig in the soil for a whole year? That is, the government did not allocate fertile land, so he went to Liaodong with the money, built houses, and reclaimed land. After three to five years, he became a wealthy family.

A nearly four-foot-tall blast furnace has been topped out, and the other two are half-built. It is surrounded by shacks, and thousands of workers and hundreds of craftsmen are busy working near the mouth of the Luanhe River.

On the newly expanded pier, there are constant ships coming and going. Because the waterway of the Jian River is not as good as that of the Luan River, the coal must be transported to the Bohai Sea in small boats, and then transferred to sea ships to be transported here. The iron ore is much simpler. The veins are on the Luanhe River. You can dig them out and throw them on a boat. It can be delivered down the river in half a day.

The area near the blast furnace was in full swing, like a large construction site. People who had been conscripted into corvee service near Leting carried and pushed the cinders and gravel on the beach for subsequent repairs to form a seawall. Countless houses were built around the ironworks. It can always be made before the twelfth lunar month.

The only blast furnace built was blazing with fire, and the steam engine drove the conveyor belt, constantly pouring coke, iron, etc. into it.

The two internal affairs officials negotiated with a foreign minister from the Ministry of Industry for a long time. The foreign minister said, "It's amazing. Li Caishen is indeed well-deserved."

This blast furnace is nearly four feet high and can operate four furnaces a day continuously. Calculating, it produces 80,000 kilograms of pig iron every day! And the throwing fee is very low!

At Zunhua Iron Works, it takes twenty kilograms of coal to smelt one kilogram of pig iron. This newly built ironworks only slightly added some equipment. Calculating that one pound of pig iron only costs six pounds of coal. Compared with the past, this small fee is simply not worth mentioning!

Even so, Langzhong Li was still dissatisfied. He only said that the temperature of the air heated in the Laoshizi heating chamber was too low, the gas was wasted, and the craftsmen were not very skilled. Yuanwailang did not ask about the first two. If a craftsman alone is skilled, it will not be a problem to produce 100,000 kilograms of pig iron per day!

The power of the new blast furnace is far beyond anyone's imagination. Because of the urgency, the Ministry of Industry and the officials of the inner government sent letters to the capital for help. There are insufficient ships in the Jianhe and Luanhe rivers. Please allocate ships to transport iron and coal as soon as possible. Otherwise, there would be no way to meet the daily consumption of the blast furnace.

A blast furnace alone can produce 80,000 jins of iron per day. Three hundred and sixty days a year, this blast furnace alone can produce more than 20 million jins of iron. If the other two are built again, it's hard to say where they are located, and the pig iron prices near the capital will drop to the price of cabbage.

Even so, Li Caishen is still not satisfied. Hearing that there seems to be a series of follow-up projects, he also wants to build a steel-making furnace. It is said that the molten iron will go directly into the steel-making furnace and become steel in a blink of an eye.

Li Dingyu, a member of the Ministry of Industry, sighed for a long time. The dozen or so academic students who gathered around smelled the slightly pungent smell of sulfur in the air and admired Li Weijian even more.

Li Weijian is now a role model for this group of people who use practical knowledge to create things. Who wouldn't want to be like Li Caishen, who managed to find a wife and a shadowy son just by relying on practical skills?

Suddenly someone asked: "Why don't you see Mr. Li today?"

Li Dingyu then said: "Mr. Li sent someone to inform you earlier that he had caught wind and cold last night, and he is not feeling well right now, so he will not come today."

The man nodded hurriedly and said: "Mr. Li has been doing all the hard work himself for the past month or so. It's really too much work. Assistant Lang Li, sir, I'm afraid you will be returning to Beijing soon, right?"

Li Dingyu said with a smile: "We will be returning in the next day or two. The steel-making furnace still needs to be supervised by Mr. Li. Others don't know what's going on. They just follow the gourd and draw the scoop. I'm afraid they don't know why."

As he spoke, Li Dingyu glanced at a small courtyard in the distance, which was a recently completed house.

At this moment, someone came quickly outside the house, but it was Ding Rusong who carried a bag into the small courtyard. He briefly glanced inside through the window, but saw people moving behind the veil. Ding Rusong immediately stopped in front of the door and greeted in a low voice. : "Sir, a big cloak was sent to me from home. It was said that Aunt Fu had just sewed it for me."

There was rustling inside, and then Li Weijian's voice came: "I know."

Ding Rusong gritted his teeth and said, "The person who came here also sent a message saying that Lin Yansi disappeared on the third day of September."

There was rustling inside, and there was no answer for a long while. After a while, the door opened a crack. His plain hands grabbed the bundle and went in, then closed the door in an instant.

I heard Li Weijian say from inside: "Let's speak to Deputy Lang Li and the two principals. I will host a banquet in Laoting City tonight and set off to return to Beijing tomorrow."

"Yes." Ding Rusong hurried away as if he had been granted amnesty.

The smoke from the incense cage inside is curling up, spreading the aroma of borneol throughout the room. Li Weijian sat on the bed with his arms open, slightly raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead, then frowned. Bi Tong, who was wrapped in a quilt, quickly returned, kicked off her shoes, and the quilt spread out to cover half of Li Weijian's body.

After serving for a few times, Li Weijian stopped him: "That's it, sir, I'm not interested now, you can go and clean yourself."

Bi Tong responded obediently. Seeing that Li Weijian's displeasure was not directed at her, she rustled on her clothes and went outside to wipe them off.

Li Weijian thought wildly in his mind and found out that Lin Ruhai was in his forties and that his fate had already been decided, so he should be sad. However, Lin Ruhai was seriously ill for a long time and died after a full year. Li Weijian had been prepared for this moment, but he was not very sad. He just sighed and was extremely worried about Daiyu.

I don’t know if that little person could ever eat or sleep, and I don’t know how sad Daiyu felt after losing her mother and father.

However, we are beyond our reach at the moment. We can only hope that Qingwen, Xiangling and Xiuying can take good care of Daiyu and send them all back to the capital in one piece. In this way, Li Weijian could take care of him.

The sound of footsteps approached, but it was Bi Tong who had been wiped and returned, helping Li Weijian put on his clothes. The Xiyi woman in front of her was originally a white slave tamed by the princes of the Middle East. She had no shame in her heart and was extremely charming in bed.

Because there was intention and desire, good things happened not long after arriving here. Afterwards, Li Weijian tried to talk to Bi Tong about what was on his mind, but this Xiyi woman only had flattery, awe, and maybe lust for him? Do whatever you want, and his drive to explore the mysteries of bed is even greater than that of Li Weijian! It’s really three, seven, that!

In short, having heart-to-heart conversations and falling in love are completely extravagant hopes, and they are out of the question for Bi Tong... She can barely even speak Mandarin, let alone talk about it.

Bitong regards him as his master and his support; in turn, he regards Bitong as a beauty, nothing more than that. After thinking about it, Li Weijian couldn't help but sigh, no wonder the wealthy families in these days never regard their concubine as a human being, she is just a talking toy, so why should she waste time on her?

There are very few people like him who have lived in two lives, inherited many ideas from his previous life, and are considerate and caring in every aspect. Because he thought of Baoyu, he could interact with the maids in a harmonious and gentle manner, and rarely bossed around. This second master Bao was really a different kind.

But he is still a waste!

Stretching his body and letting Bi Tong serve him, Bi Tong glanced up and whispered: "Are you tired, Master?"

"Yeah." Li Weijian responded vaguely.

Bi Tong said, "How about I serve you in the car later?"

"Huh?" Li Weijian looked at Bi Tong's face, and couldn't help but smile and pick her chin, and said with a smile: "That's fine. It's getting late, let's go to the city right now."

Later, the Ding brothers drove the carriage, and the inner government sent more than 20 guards on horseback to accompany them, and the whole group headed for the city in a mighty manner. This Leting is just a county town. It is located in a remote area and is not very prosperous.

That day, Li Weijian booked a restaurant, and Haosheng had a banquet with officials from the Imperial Household and the Ministry of Industry. At this time, Li Weijian was so famous that all the local officials in Leting were attracted by him. Only the county magistrate could get into the restaurant after he had found the right way.

Li Weijian was so drunk that he stayed in Leting City that day, said goodbye to a group of officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Industry, and set off back to the capital the next day.

............................................................

Traveling day and night, within two days, the group waited to return to the capital. At this time, the winter moon was approaching. Li Weijian was thinking that he had to stay in the capital to supervise the construction of steel-making equipment. Secondly, the Ningguo Mansion was in front of him. He was related to the Jia family and could not turn a blind eye.

When he returned home near noon, Hongyu was not at home. Fu Qiufang hurriedly heated up hot water and helped Li Weijian bathe and change clothes.

In the aftermath of the little parting moon, the two of them were naturally full of tenderness and affection. Fu Qiufang probably thought about it tightly in her heart, her charming eyes could not leave Li Weijian. One moment she said that he must not have eaten well, as his figure seemed to have lost weight; the next moment he said that the sea breeze was too hard, and his cheeks looked swollen. They are all a bit chapped.

After Li Weijian took a bath, he took Fu Qiufang to sit at home, and Fu Qiufang talked about all the major and minor events of the past month. There are just trivial things at home that are not worth mentioning.

Outside, Cao Yunsheng and other wealthy men kept asking for three days. They wanted to chase him to Laoting and ask Li Weijian if he wanted to raise funds for the railway affairs he was running. Although Li Weijian had to run the railway business before, many employers secretly slandered him, but now Li Caishen is a golden sign because of the lovely tree.

Ordinary people running an iron factory are just iron factories. If Li Weijian wants to run an iron factory, who can guarantee that he will not be the next cement factory?

The capital is only a day's ride away from Laoting, and the news that the new blast furnace can produce 80,000 kilograms of pig iron per day has probably spread throughout the capital by now. Eighty thousand jins, this is just one blast furnace. When the other two are erected, it will be able to produce 100 million jins per year!

This group of wealthy people are all people with sharp eyesight and quick hands. Some of them want to invest in stocks, and many of them have secretly invested in factories to make daily utensils made of iron.

Due to the favorable geographical location, the cost of pig iron produced by Laoting Iron Works is less than 30% of that produced elsewhere. Even if the iron work sells it at half price, these owners can make a profit by processing it and selling it to all over the country. Relying on the advantage of low prices, iron factories in the capital and even along the coast could be driven out of business within a year or two.

"...Cao Dong's family also said yesterday that if the master comes back, they must let him appreciate it. Cao Dong's family will rent Liuquan Residence to take care of the master."

Li Weijian smiled and said, "That's fine. In a few days, these rich people will gather together and let the news out first. The internal government has already taken care of this matter, so I don't need to worry about it in the future."

Fu Qiufang said distressedly: "I am only at this age, and I have constant errands every day. I don't want to work too hard, lest I get sick in the future."

Li Weijian agreed with a smile, and Fu Qiufang turned to talk about the greenhouse business. Li Weijian poured one hundred thousand taels of silver into it, and the greenhouse expanded seven times. Hongyu occasionally went over to check it out, but Lai Wang took care of the rest. Seeing that the winter months are about to enter, all kinds of fruits and vegetables are blooming and bearing fruit, but nothing has gone wrong.

Wang Xifeng, one of the shareholders, is very busy these days taking care of all the matters of the East and West Mansion. Hongyu followed beside her, and saw that as soon as she arrived at Ningguo Mansion, the servants from Rongguo Mansion followed her; just as she returned to Rongguo Mansion, the mother-in-law from Ningguo Mansion came to her door again.

Wang Xifeng was so busy that she hit the back of her head with her feet, but she was enjoying it. She didn't even try to make excuses, and took care of everything one by one, down to the smallest detail, which earned her praise from both houses.

During these days, first of all, the Duke of Jiu died, and Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing went to pay homage and send the funeral; the princess of Xining County celebrated her birthday and gave birthday gifts; the Duke of Zhen gave birth to his eldest son, and prepared gifts; and his brother Wang Ren returned with his family. In the south, I wrote a letter home to tell my parents what I had brought with me; I also contracted an illness during the Spring Festival, so I consulted a doctor and took medicine every day.

When Li Weijian heard this, he quickly asked: "Second sister is sick? Is it important?"

Fu Qiufang was not deaf. The story about Li Weijian and Yingchun was known to everyone in the Rongguo Mansion. Although Hongyu was tight-lipped, Fu Qiufang could figure out the occasional mention by the maids who followed her.

Fu Qiufang was extremely puzzled as to why the master provoked the second girl of the Rongguo Mansion, but it was difficult to ask. She only said: "The second girl just caught wind and cold. The prescription was wrong at first. The more she took the medicine, the worse her cough became. Later. The second mistress took the initiative and invited Zhang Youshi, but after two doses of medicine were used, the second mistress broke into sweat and her body gradually got better."

Li Weijian nodded, and then put down his worries and said: "I won't go to the Yamen tomorrow, and I will rest for a day. I will go to Rongguo Mansion in the afternoon to have a look. Oh, that's right, Li Dingyu, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Industry, introduced a practical scholar and said this Even if a person takes the ordinary imperial examination, he can still be ranked on the imperial list. He is about to find a job as a teacher until spring comes.

Tomorrow you ask Wu Haiping to take my name card and invite him, so that he can be Mr. Langeer. "

Fu Qiufang complained: "Eldest sister came here twice, but she didn't ask because I saw that the master was not around. The master has promised to do this for a long time, and I didn't want it to be done just now."

Li Weijian smiled bitterly and said, "Can you blame me? It's hard to find a good gentleman, especially one who is good at practical learning."

The two talked for a long time. Seeing that Li Weijian was tired, Fu Qiufang got up and went outside to deal with household matters. After a long while, he asked Bi Tong in detail. Hearing that Li Weijian had really opened his face to Bitong, Fu Qiufang cursed a little in her heart and said with a straight face: "From tomorrow onwards, you can stay with me. Look back." Pick a few good ones and you will be rewarded by me."

Bi Tong only agreed without any hint of arrogance. Fu Qiufang breathed a sigh of relief and thought to herself that this Xiyi woman was easy to fool. If she were a Dashun woman who had never read or read, she would be arrogant and make trouble because of her unreasonable favor. .

There was nothing else going on that day, except that Wu Haiping went to see Li Weijian after dinner and said hesitantly that Wu Haining had been beaten twice, and now he had learned a lesson and wanted to come back, even as a companion. Li Weijian said happily: "You have to endure hardships to become a master. Your brother needs to practice hard. Well, don't worry, let's be a disciple for a year first."

Wu Haiping couldn't say anything else, and he felt sorry for his brother. He just hoped that his sister Xiu Ying would come back quickly. This pillow talk was more useful than talking on his own.

............................................................

The next day, Li Weijian was tired for half a day and just left for Rongguo Mansion in the afternoon. Wang Xifeng was indeed very busy. Li Weijian stayed in the house for two hours, but after a quick meeting with her, he saw Sister Feng shouting in front of her, walking like a breeze, with a pair of triangular phoenix eyes full of bossy look!

Li Weijian couldn't help but secretly think that even if etiquette didn't allow it at this time, in his previous life, Sister Feng would have been a strong woman who dominated the business world!

However, he was born at the wrong time, and now he can only enjoy the pleasure of having great power through Qin Keqing's funeral.

Li Weijian went to visit the second girl to welcome the Spring Festival. Sure enough, as Fu Qiufang said, she had already recovered. She didn't have any cough at all, but her speech was slightly nasal.

He went to see Jia Mu, who had just woken up, and the old lady seemed to be in good spirits. Although her conversation was still warm, Li Weijian was keenly aware that Jia Mu seemed to be hesitant to speak. He wondered in his heart, could the old lady be asking him about the matter between him and the second girl?

But since he never spoke, Li Weijian pretended not to know. Because the Ningguo Mansion was conducting a funeral, Li Weijian did not stay long and returned home near the time of mourning.

In the next few days, Li Weijian found an opportunity to leak the news to Cao Yunsheng and other bosses. He just said that the government would follow the old practice and release railway stocks on the stock exchange in the winter months.

Li Weijian's management of iron affairs was not just a big deal. The real daily output of 80,000 kilograms of pig iron was there, which naturally attracted many wealthy people to flock to it.

He believed that this time King Zhongyong was not around, so the saint had to summon him, right? However, he was never heard from the palace. Li Weijian couldn't help but murmur, perhaps because of the troublesome affairs of the government, Junggar always avoided war and retreated, and the family's money and food were sent to Xining every day. Fortunately, the previous cement business had robbed tens of millions of money, otherwise Zizhenghe Emperor would be even more distressed at this time; and Maybe the saint has become numb? I really don’t know how to reward him Li Weijian?

When he was slandering, Emperor Zhenghe was indeed having a headache. The rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River has passed in September. Not to mention other places, Suzhou has a miraculous effect in regulating Taihu Lake. In such an ordinary year, Kunshan actually collects taxes!

That's the beggar Kunshan. Every year the court burns incense if it doesn't bring in hundreds of thousands of silver, but now it pays taxes for the first time!

That's all. Zhuang Yougong ignored him and concentrated on managing Taihu Lake and rivers. He built it in Kunshan and in various counties in Suzhou. He built a total of nearly 400 miles of rivers, stone ponds and lakes. Not only did I not lose money, but I also made a lot of money!

Suzhou Prefecture managed lakes and rivers and sold polders in this way, and the cycle continued, which aroused the admiration of the Hedao Yamen. The Governor of Hedao repeatedly came to the table, asking the imperial court to transfer villagers to the Hedao Yamen to manage the Huanghuai River. By the way, he asked the saint to send Li Weijian to handle the cement business between Huanghuai.

As the saying goes, "Don't forget the well diggers when you are drinking water." Suzhou Prefecture has achieved great results in water control. The prefect Zhuang Yougong and the governor Wang Shuhuan came up to express their merits for Li Weijian.

Emperor Zhenghe couldn't help but secretly think that the Huanghuai Rebellion, which caused turmoil throughout the Ming Dynasty, would be completely suppressed because of Li Weijian's humble cement business.

Of course, meritorious deeds should be rewarded, but how old was Li Weijian? The official couldn't be promoted no matter what. The title had been moved up one level, and now he was a first-class man. The next higher up was a viscount... After a little calculation, he could not stop the viscount just for his ability to control the water.

The most annoying thing is that Li Weijian is not short of money... How can Emperor Zhenghe reward him? After pondering for two days, Emperor Zhenghe simply suppressed the matter for the time being, and waited until the troops of the thirty-three surnames from Beishan arrived in the capital. He quickly sent Li Weijian to Qinghai, and then naturally made him an uncle, so as not to criticize him as a saint for being stingy.

But he said that this day was the day when Ning Guo Mansion launched his mission. Li Weijian got up before dawn and rushed to Ning Guo Mansion. When they arrived at the place, the sky was barely bright, and they saw the main entrance of Ningguo Mansion open, with bright lights, guests seeing off and officials welcoming them, and people coming and going.

Li Weijian was different from the past. Jia Zhen welcomed him in person, exchanged greetings with him, and then personally sent him inside. When Li Weijian went to the side hall to drink Huizi tea with Jia She and Jia Zhenglue, a servant reminded him that the auspicious time had come.

The three people hurriedly came out and saw sixty-four people in green robes praying for the spirit. There was a big inscription in front of them: "In the hard-earned year of Fengtian Hongjian, the imperial court conferred the title of First Class Ning Guogong Tomb Sun's wife to protect the inner court and the Forbidden Road. The imperial guard Long Jinwei enjoys a strong and long life." The coffin of a respectful person of the Qin family." All the deacon's furnishings are all newly made in a hurry, and they are all bright and dazzling.

The pearl was given as a gift to an unmarried girl, and she lost her spirit, which was very sad.

Li Weijian observed carefully, and saw that Baozhu was crying so hard that he couldn't get up even though his mother-in-law came to help him. It wasn't until Jia Zhen came to comfort him that he got up in fear.

Apart from that, there is still no trace of Youshi, and Wang Xifeng is still taking care of it.

Li Weijian wondered, it was just a common stomach problem. He was still not well after two months? Or is there something hidden in this?

While thinking about it, Jia She reminded him, and several people hurriedly greeted the funeral guests.

There were many guests at the official meeting: Zhenguo Gong Gongqing’s grandson Xianxian Bo Niujizong, Li Guogong’s grandson Liu Biao’s first class son Liu Fang, Qi Guogong Chen Yi’s grandson Chen Ruiwen, the hereditary third-rank Wei Zhen general, Zhiguo The grandson of Gong Ma Kui, the hereditary third-rank Weiyuan general Ma Shang, and the grandson of Xiuguo Duke Xiaoming, the hereditary first-class son Hou Xiaokang; the Duke of Jianguo passed away, so his grandson Shi Guangzhu never came to observe filial piety. These six families, together with the Ning and Rong families, were the ones called "Eight Gongs" at that time.

The rest include the grandson of Nan'an County Prince, the grandson of Xining County Prince, Zhongjing Marquis Shi Ding, the second-class hereditary male grandson of Pingyuan Marquis Jiang Zining, the second-class hereditary male grandson of Dingcheng Marquis Xie Jing, the second-class hereditary male grandson of Xiangyang Marquis Qi Jianhui, and Jingtian Marquis. Qiu Liang, the military commander of Sun Wucheng.

The remaining ones are Han Qi, the uncle of Jinxiang, Feng Ziying, the son of General Shenwu, Chen Yejun, Wei Ruolan and other princes and grandsons, all of whom are countless.

Counting the female relatives, there are about ten large sedans and thirty or forty small sedans. There are no less than a hundred cars and sedans at home. Even the various deacons, furnishings, and entertainments in front are vast and vast, and they are placed three or four miles away.

The auspicious time cannot be delayed. The eldest master, Jia She, wanted to talk to Li Weijian, but when he turned around, he saw Li Weijian getting into his carriage early. The elder had no choice but to return to his sedan chair.

The mourners and others headed out of the city in great numbers. Not long after walking, colorful tents were erected on the roadside, banquets were held, and music was played. They were all offering sacrifices on the road: the first one was the sacrifice tent of the Prince of Dongping, the second one was the sacrifice tent of the Prince of Nan'an County, and the third one was in Xining. The fourth one is the Prince’s Sacrifice Tent in Beijing.

Someone in charge of the Ningguo Mansion had seen it and hurriedly went back to report to Jia Zhen. Jia Zhen hurriedly ordered people to station in front, and hurried up with Jia She and Jia Zheng to greet the general.

Because Li Weijian was traveling in a carriage, he was riding in the back, so he didn't show up at all. He only opened the curtains and watched from a distance. He secretly thought that it was enough for the Ningguo Mansion to be so extravagant, but to have four kings with different surnames was so embarrassing... Could it be that he noticed that Wang Ziteng kept cutting the Jia family's flesh and blood, so he demonstrated like this?

Haha, I don’t know who came up with this idea, it’s so stupid! If the Jia family is ransacked in the future, it will definitely be the reason for today!

Among the four princes and eight kilometers, the rest were demoted to the rank of nobility. Only King Shuirong of Beijing, a hereditary and indiscriminate prince, could be called an iron hat.

This person's ancestors can be traced back to Shui Jiayin, a Jinshi during the Qi years of the previous Ming Dynasty. His concubine traveled to Shaanxi and was kidnapped by Li Guo's troops. Because he was literate and very strategic, he was trusted by Li Guo, so he adopted him as his adopted son.

After Li Guo became famous, before his death, he asked his ancestor to change his surname back to his original surname, granted him a title of county king, and allowed him to inherit the throne. This is the only one in Dashun. Even the princes of the royal family have to be downgraded, which is why this lineage of the Shui family is hereditary.

Li Weijian saw that Shui Rong was only in his twenties, and secretly thought that the King of Beijing was tired of being an iron hat king and wanted to die.

After a pause for tea, the funeral procession continued to move forward. After coming out of Fucheng Gate, we headed all the way to Tiexuan Temple. After walking for two hours, it stopped again. Immediately, two horses came galloping over and passed Wang Xifeng's words, saying to rest here before leaving. Because the team turned north and headed towards a village.

Li Weijian got down from the carriage and just entered the village. A woman came forward and said, "Even though the fourth master is the best in the village, all the idle people have been driven out, leaving only some village girls and village women." , it doesn’t matter.”

Li Weijian smiled and agreed, leaving the Ding brothers waiting outside the village. He walked inside and found a toilet to relieve himself. As the saying goes, a person with a good nature knows etiquette. Village girls and village women work hard every day to make ends meet, and they don’t know a few Chinese characters. How can they follow the etiquette practices of girls from wealthy families?

Li Weijian has a tall and straight figure, a handsome face, and his clothes and style naturally attract the attention of village girls and women. Li Weijian's face was calm and he walked calmly. After a moment, he arrived in front of the thatched cottage, and suddenly several people ran out from inside. But it was Baoyu, Qin Zhong and a group of boys.

Seeing these two people with smiles on their faces, Li Weijian felt weird... He had heard earlier that this man had vomited blood, so why didn't he pay attention during the funeral?

"Brother Bao, where are you going?"

"Brother Jian?" Qin Zhong was as shy as a girl when meeting strangers, so Baoyu said, "Sister wants to change clothes, so he sent us out to play naughty."

Li Weijian hurriedly stopped and said: "Don't go too far, we have to go on a journey later."

Baoyu didn't like preaching at all, so he answered vaguely, then took Qin Zhong and ran away.

Li Weijian stopped in front of the thatched cottage and paced with his hands behind his hands. After a while, a maid came out and said with a smile: "Grandma, please go in and have a rest."

Li Weijian agreed, followed the maid in, and saw Sister Feng sitting upright, drinking fragrant tea. Seeing Li Weijian entering, he quickly stood up with a smile to greet him.

"Brother Jian, please sit down and have a rest and have a cup of tea."

When Li Weijian sat down, Wang Xifeng said: "These days are really complicated. I thought I would talk to Brother Jian when he came back, but I couldn't find time for him."

"But what about the greenhouse business?"

"That's not true!" Sister Feng said worriedly: "I can't take care of you at the moment. All the cats and dogs are here to take advantage. That's all, this is a trivial matter." After a pause, she said: "This time I have to stop my spirit. On the third day, Brother Jian also knew that Brother Zhen and Brother Rong were in a mess, and the eldest and the old master didn't care about anything. I can still take care of things here. If anything happens outside, there must be someone to help... Just in time I want to talk to Brother Jian about the business. If Brother Jian has some free time, why don't we stay together for a few more days?"

Li Weijian pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "This is what it should be. As for the external matters, my second sister-in-law can just give her orders."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "What Brother Jian said is just a matter of discussion. How dare I give orders to Li Caishen? Haha..."

Just then, the maid came in to report that another family member wanted to come here to change clothes and relieve themselves. Li Weijian couldn't wait any longer and hurriedly got up to avoid it.

After leaving the thatched cottage, I could vaguely hear voices coming from the small courtyard to the east. Just two steps closer, I heard a woman shouting: "Second girl, come here quickly!"

At the first glance, he saw a village girl running out in a hurry, followed by Baoyu and Qin Zhong also walking out of the house. Baoyu looked at the village girl with a sad face, and actually became crazy.

Li Weijian suddenly realized, yes, Baoyu's emotion came and went even faster. That day, Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang drove away the two maids, and Baoyu also made a fuss for two days. After that, shouldn't he eat rouge and be naughty with the maids?

In his heart, he just regrets the passing of all the good things and does not dwell on one thing.

While I was thinking about it, someone called me from afar. I looked up and saw my eldest sister, Li Wan, leading her maid over. Li Weijian hurriedly came over and talked to Li Wan for a while. He said that his husband had already gone to invite him, and he would take Lan Geer home to be educated in a while.

There were many people at this time, because the two siblings just talked for a while and then dispersed. When everyone came out of Zhuangzi, Li Weijian saw Baoyu staring at a village girl holding a child, as if he wanted to jump out of the car and stay with the village girl for the rest of his life.

Li Weijian sneered secretly, thinking that the marriage decree would be issued in the future, and he didn't know how many days Baoyu would make a fuss, and then change his mind as he did now.

Getting on the road again, the group of people quickly caught up with the funeral procession. They had already seen the golden drums, flags and flags in front of them, as well as the monks from Tiexuan Temple to receive the funeral.

After a while, he entered the temple, performed another Buddhist ceremony, and reset the incense altar. An Ling is placed in a side room of the inner hall, accompanied by Baozhuli in the bedroom.

Outside, Li Weijian followed Jia Zhen to entertain a group of relatives and friends, some of whom disturbed the meal, and some who left without eating. Everyone thanked them because they were tired, and they all dispersed together from the duke, marquis, uncle, son, and son, until the end of the day. The party is gone.

The female family members inside were all received by Sister Feng. They dispersed first after the official announcement and then at noon when the big mistake was made.

There are only a few relatives who are close by, and they will not go there until they have been to the Anling Dojo for three days. Li Weijian had just seen off the group of people, and when he turned around, he saw Baoyu throwing herself into Mrs. Wang's arms and pleading, saying that she wanted to stay here.

Li Weijian stopped immediately, frowning and thinking secretly, as if there was a part about the Iron Kan Temple in this TV series? What's going on?
