After marrying the disabled chief minister, I rely on space to raise Zaizai

Chapter 81 Going through the back door

After dinner, Jian Qingyu took the children for a run in the village. When passing by Gu Carpenter's house, Jian Qingyu immediately turned around.

"Uncle Lin, how far is the progress of the wheelchair I want?"

Although the wheelchair is not very easy to make, it has been a while since she gave the drawings, and she gave me enough wages. Three taels of silver is just a deposit.

Ordinary people's families can save two or three taels throughout the year to make up for the sky, but now she gave away three taels in the early stage.

When Luo Shi saw Jian Qingyu coming, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

"From the Yanbei family, come in and sit for a while."

"Hello Auntie, Hello Uncle Lin." Jian Qingyu greeted them with a smile and walked in under Luo Shi's greeting.

"Grandpa Lin, Grandma Luo." The children's mouths were also very sweet, as if they had been smeared with honey!
"Okay, okay, come in quickly."

"The scholar lady is here to see the wheelchair. The entire frame is ready, but now the wheels are missing. I made one and tried it, but it was not stable enough. I am still studying how to make it more stable, otherwise it will not be strong. If you don’t say it, it won’t be used for long. If you are walking in a wheelchair, the movement will be a bit loud, and you are worried that it will fall apart.”

He has been studying this problem in the past few days and wants to improve it, but he has no good way.

"Wooden wheels are indeed not strong enough and fall apart easily. This is too dangerous. Uncle, use iron to make the wheels. This is safer and definitely solid." After listening to Carpenter Gu's words, Jian Qingyu nodded in agreement. This is indeed a problem. , if this is not solved, the wheelchair can only be a semi-finished product that is useless.

She immediately thought of iron, which was a good thing.I don’t know if there are any restrictions on iron in this dynasty.

Many dynasties in history had strict control over iron. To make a pair of scissors or a pot, you had to go to the yamen to register, and you had to take the original things from home. After seeing it, the person in charge of the yamen agreed. You need a new one to hit, otherwise you can only use the old one.

Because of such strict requirements, every household takes great care of these things.

"It's okay for a scholar lady to make a wheel out of iron, but it's not only expensive, but she also has to go to the Yamen to get a certificate. If the Yamen agrees, she can make it. If she doesn't, she can only use something else instead." It's not that he didn't think of using iron to make it, but it's just too expensive. Yes, you still have to go through the Yamen checkpoint. If you pass it, it's okay. If you don't pass it, you have to find other alternatives, so he didn't mention it and wanted to use other methods to solve this problem.

He was resistant to dealing with the government in his heart. He would never think of going to the Yamen unless absolutely necessary.

Moreover, it’s not easy to get into the yamen. If you don’t have acquaintances and want to make something made of iron, you can only wait. A month is considered fast. Some people have waited for a year and still haven’t received the approval. Whoever dares to quarrel with the official service will risk his life. Got it!
"I will solve this problem. You wait for my news." She did have something made of iron in the space, which could be remade by melting it down, but the origin could not be explained, and she had to go to the government!

Go back and ask Gu Yanbei if he knows anyone in the yamen. If there are acquaintances, it will be much easier.

Jian Qingyu was focused on the wheels of his wheelchair. When he got home, he ran into Gu Yanbei's room like a tornado.

"Ms. sir, do you know anyone in the Yamen?" He is the head of the case in Zhangwu County, so there is a high chance that he knows someone in the Yamen.

The head of the case is someone many people want to make friends with.Gu Yanbei put down the book in his hand, took out the handkerchief from under the pillow, held a corner of it and stretched it towards her, wiping away a few beads of sweat on her forehead, "Why are you asking about this?"

Aren't you going for a walk?
Why did he get involved with the Yamen in the blink of an eye?
"I passed by Uncle Lin's house when I was walking. I asked about the progress of the wheelchair. Uncle Lin said that the only thing missing was the wheels. If they were made of wood, the wheels would be too small and fall apart easily. I suggested that the wheels could be made directly from iron. Lin My uncle said that it is possible, but to make things with iron, you need to go to the government to register and issue a certificate. Even if you go, we ordinary people may not be able to get the certificate immediately, so I want to ask if you know anyone who can use the back door. !" Jian Qingyu's eyes were bright when he said about going through the back door.

Looking at her bright eyes, Gu Yanbei smiled and said, "If you know someone, I will write you a letter later. You can go directly to the Yamen to find him."

"Yeah, that's great. Thank you, sir." Jian Qingyu was very happy. It would be much easier to do things with someone else.

She would look through the space later to find something suitable that could be used as a gift.

"You put this away."

Gu Yanbei quickly wrote a letter, sealed it and gave it to Jian Qingyu.

"Yeah." Jian Qingyu had just put away the letter when the third child's voice sounded at the door.

"Mom, the water has been boiled." Since my mother came, their whole family has had to take a bath every day. If they don't clean themselves up, my mother will do it herself. They are already big boys, and there are differences between men and women.

No matter how reluctant they are, they have to listen and take a shower!
In this regard, although father requires them to be clean, he is far less strict than mother!
But there are benefits too!

"Got it, come right away." Jian Qingyu took out Gu Yanbei's change of clothes from the closet and placed them on the bed, then went out to fetch water and started his daily routine of washing up.

Jian Qingyu got up early, threw a lot of fresh bamboo to Yunyun, had breakfast, said hello to the children, and then went out.

When she arrived at the county town, she found a corner with no one around, and when she came out, she had a basket in her hand.

After all, I was asking for help, so there was no reason to go empty-handed. My brother had already prepared the gifts at night.

The reason for the preparation was within their family's current affordability. After all, Gu Yanbei was a familiar person, and it would be easy to cheat if the offer was too good.

After asking about the back door of the county government office, Jian Qingyu quickly arrived at the back door of a house. He raised his hand and knocked on the door. The door was soon opened and an elderly servant walked out. He looked at it. Jian Qingyu asked: "Madam, who are you looking for?"

"Hello, old man, please give this letter to your master." Tai, what a fool, he actually forgot to ask Gu Yanbei the name of his friend yesterday, so now he can only hand this letter to the old man and let him Be an intermediary and pass it on to the owner of his house.

The old servant looked Jian Qingyu up and down. Seeing that she was very well dressed, he took the envelope from her hand, said "Wait a moment", closed the door and left.

"Sir, there is a lady at the door. She asked me to give you this letter?" The old servant put the letter in his hand next to the hand of a young man sitting on the main seat, and then stepped aside to wait for a reply.
