Chapter 280 Beautiful Woman
Lin Xue didn't want to talk about Shen Ru, so she changed the subject: "Let's think about how to deal with them! I don't know if there is any hope in Tianji Pavilion."

"Don't be anxious. Once the big thing planned by my father-in-law and King Qi is successful, there is no need to worry about dealing with them. Don't worry about him in Tianji Pavilion for the time being. One day we will ask him to repay double."

"My father and the others?"

"Hush! Preparations are being made. It won't take long for us to uproot those who offended us." Zhou Shaocheng's eyes flashed with a hint of evil. One day, the two traitors and everyone in their family will have to pay. cost.

If Shen Jia heard what they said, she would definitely sneer: You are holding back aggrievement, or you are poking fun at me in secret! I used the money to buy back the property of my grandmother's dowry shop, and then used Tianji Pavilion to take back the money I took out. This is equivalent to taking back my own property without spending any money. There is nothing wrong with this, and I haven't calculated the interest for you yet!
In the blink of an eye, March comes, and all the candidates from the entire Zhou Dynasty will come to the capital to take part in the examination, also known as the Spring Festival. There are three exams in total, on the second, fifth, and eighth day of March. There are three consecutive exams, each lasting three days. You have to eat, drink, and sleep in the dormitory for three days.

After the nine-day exam, most people were hungry, tired, and sleepy, and those with poor physical condition felt as if they had lost half their lives.

Shen Jia asked the cook in the house to make some delicious food for Feng Zhanglin and others to bring in. He also gave them some dry rice noodles from Lingnan. These rice noodles can be eaten by soaking them in boiling water. He also gave them to each of them. A bottle of cooling oil to refresh your mind.

After arranging these things, she didn't care. After all, exams sometimes really require a bit of luck.

In March, the weather in Beijing begins to warm up, which is a good time for spring plowing, including planting yams and cotton.

The location of the Jingcheng Winery was chosen near Liangzhuang. Construction started last year and is about to be completed in a few days. As the owners behind the scenes, Shen Jia and Shen Zhuoyun also want to go and take a look.

Early in the morning, Shen Zhuoyun and Shen Jia took a carriage to the Jingjiao Winery, also known as the Four Seasons Winery.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the entrance of Four Seasons Winery.

Tan Wenqing, Lan Ning and Liang Jin were already waiting for them at the door.

After the ceremony, the three of them took them in to visit the winery.

The scale of Four Seasons Winery is more than three times larger than that of Yixian Winery.

After the winery was officially put into production, Lan Ning was the chief manager, Liang Jin was the deputy manager, and Tan Wenqing, as the general manager of the entire Shen family's external industry, also needed to know how to make wine.

Lan Ning and Liang Jin have been working in a winery in Yixian for half a year, and they know how to build a winery.

The first thing the group visited was the underground vat.

"This underground vat is very well made, even better than the one in Yixian." Shen Jia pointed at the large black vat and praised.

"It was a large vat made by a master craftsman with the best craftsmanship near the capital. He is old and the family is not short of money. He has rarely taken on jobs in the past few years. I talked with him for a long time before he took our order." Qin Wenqing explained. road.

Shen Jia frowned slightly: "If this is the case, who will make the jars and vats we need later?"

Tan Wenqing smiled and said: "Princess, don't worry, his two apprentices are also very good at craftsmanship and can make the wine jars needed by the winery."

Shen Jia felt a little curious, so he asked more: "What else does his family do for a living besides making porcelain, and he is not short of money?"

"I heard that the old master's wife was an embroiderer in the palace when she was young. The embroidery she embroidered was so lifelike that one piece of embroidery could be sold for hundreds of taels of silver!"

"How old is the old master's wife?"

"I heard she was only about thirty years old. People nearby said she was like a flower stuck in cow dung."

As an embroiderer who is in her thirties and comes out of the palace, will she know that Cui Shanggong has some trouble with the person behind the scenes?

It's better to make an extra trip than miss it.

This matter must be done sooner rather than later. It seems that we need to see her immediately. If she is lucky, she can really get useful information!
Shen Jia took a cursory look at the winery and found no major problems, so he said to Tan Wenqing: "Uncle Tan, take me to the house where the big vats are made."

Shen Zhuoyun and Tan Wenqing were both a little stunned. Didn't they come to watch the winery and then go to the grain farm to plant yams and cotton? Why do you suddenly want to see the big firing vat? Shen Jia saw the doubts in their eyes and did not explain. He just smiled and said: "I am quite curious about the old master's wife."

Shen Zhuoyun and Tan Wenqing are not stupid people. When they heard what she said, they knew the reason why they didn't want to tell them.

"I will take you there right now." Tan Wenqing reacted immediately.

"I'm also curious about how these large vats are fired." Shen Zhuoyun agreed.

The corners of Shen Jia's lips raised slightly, it was easier to get along with smart people.

The old master's family lived in Quancun, about thirty miles away from the winery, at the foot of Yanshan Mountain and next to Yonghe River.

When Shen Jia came to Quan Village, she couldn't help but feel a little dazed. This place was very similar to the world-famous Liuli Village in her previous life. Does it mean that there are also high-quality shale rocks here? Then can she also hire someone to process and bake colored glaze products with bright glaze colors? Then he patted his forehead and cursed secretly for thinking too much.

There are about thirty families in this village. The houses are built on the mountain and are well-proportioned. The simple courtyard walls are all made of stones.

The old master's home is at the end of the village.

Along the way, I saw many ordinary people digging in the fields.

The elderly and children in the village were not too surprised to see the stranger arriving.

Shen Jia was always generous, so she asked Bai Kou to take a bag of candies from the drawer of the carriage and give them to the children.

She had specially modified this carriage with her family servant a few days ago. It was shock-absorbing, knife-proof, and equipped with many small drawers, which contained many snacks.

After walking for about half a quarter of an hour, we arrived at the door of the old master's house.

Tan Wenqing stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Soon I heard someone coming out from inside, "Here we come."

'Squeak! ', the door opened, and a beautiful middle-aged woman about thirty-seven or eighteen years old appeared in front of everyone.

She recognized Tan Wenqing at a glance, "Are you here to find my husband? He has gone to Houshan Ci Kiln. You can go there to find him."

Shen Jia stepped forward and whispered: "I came here specifically to ask you something."

The woman looked at Shen Jia with deep defensiveness in her eyes, "Who are you?"

"I am Princess Huguo, and I want to ask you something about Cui Shanggong." Shen Jia looked into her eyes and said softly.

The woman's pupils narrowed, "Is that Cui Shanggong, Cui Qingrou?"

Shen Jia nodded.

Sure enough, she knew Cui Shanggong. It seemed that this trip would not be in vain. Shen Jia felt a little excited.

The woman looked around the door and saw that no one was paying attention, so she made a gesture of invitation: "Princess, please come in!"

Shen Jia smiled and followed her in.

This house is quite large, with a spacious yard, five main rooms and wing rooms, and three east and west wing rooms. They are all made of blue bricks.

Shen Zhuoyun and Tan Wenqing went to the Houshan Ci Kiln to watch the masters firing porcelain.
