Zhe Jinchun

Chapter 104

Mrs. Zhong was taken aback when she heard the words, and asked in a loud voice: "Is there such a thing?" After saying that, her face darkened, and she said coldly: "I'll just say it, why did the good elder brother change?" People, it turns out that people change their minds.”

Zhong Jingren's expression was a little emotional at this time, and he sighed: "Little sister spoke brilliantly. People's hearts are indeed the most changeable."

Hearing this, Zhong Shi also sighed, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The two of them were silent for a while, and Zhong Fang comforted him: "Don't worry, elder brother. Since this person has been sent away, the loss is not too big, so don't pay attention to it. Speaking of which, I was in a daze when I heard Zhong Liang talk about the brick kilns in Bingzhou. What happened, I was busy a few days ago, so I didn't have time to listen to you in detail, but now I want to ask my elder brother, what happened to the pot and kiln?"

Huguan is located [-] miles away from Shangjing City. It belongs to Bingzhou. It is a little-known small county with less than [-] households. The county only governs one city, which is Huguan City.This city is only one or two days away from Shangjing, but it is far less prosperous than the neighboring counties of Shangjing, so it can be called a barren land.

The Qin family's brick kiln was set up outside Huguan City. Because the bricks fired are quite durable, they have always been known as Huguan Bricks.

Hearing Zhong's mention of Huguan, Zhong Jingren's face darkened a little.He raised his hand and pinched the center of his brows, but he still couldn't erase the gloomy look between his brows: "The number of bricks fired by Huguan Kiln this year has decreased by [-]% compared to last year."

Zhong raised her head abruptly, looked at him in surprise, and asked after a while, "How could there be so much less? What happened?"

Zhong Jingren frowned a little, and said in a deep voice: "For some reason, the clay there is not as good as in previous years. The quantity is also less, and the number of bricks is also less."

Hearing this, Zhong suddenly became worried, and subconsciously twirled the thread on the sackcloth with his fingers, and said in a daze, "What should I do?" After speaking, he looked at Zhong Jingren again, with a hint of expectation in his eyes: "Is there any remedy, elder brother?"

Zhong Jingren has been running the Qin Family Kiln Factory for many years, and the Zhong family has great trust in him.

"There is a way, but it's difficult." Zhong Jingren's brows were twisted into the word Chuan, and his expression became more and more worried: "The master said that there is a small town three hundred miles away from Huguan, where there is high-quality clay. I sent Zhong Liang to see it." After that, it’s true, but...there is the territory of the Du family.”

"The Du family?" Zhong Shi repeated in a murmur, then was startled, looked at Zhong Jingren and asked, "Could it be... the Du family from Xiangyuan?"

Zhong Jingren nodded, his eyes became more and more serious.

The Du family in Xiangyuan is also a noble family of the Chen state, although they cannot compare with Xue and Huan, they are not far behind.The Patriarch of the Du family, Du Xingjian, is in his prime, and now he is a general of Xiaoqi, known as "Du Xiaoqi", but he is a ruthless person.

Qin's family is located in Qingzhou, which is under the jurisdiction of Han'an County, so the Du family was already at odds with Han'an Township Hou, how could he allow the Qin's family to open a kiln factory at their doorstep?

Lin's eyebrows became more and more worried, and she said plaintively: "Why is it his house? In this way, wouldn't it be possible that the brick kiln will not be able to continue?"

Zhong Jingren has been worried about this for the past few days, and when he heard the words, his face was full of helplessness: "So I said, it's difficult." After a pause, he said again: "I have ordered Zhong Liang to go to Yizhou to see if there is any suitable place there. "

What he said didn't make Zhong Shi much more relaxed, she still frowned: "It's not easy to change another place, who knows that I will bump into that noble family again?" She sighed as she spoke. With a sigh of relief, he sat down on the armchair beside the desk, motioned for Zhong Jingren to sit down, and poured him a cup of tea with his own hands.

Zhong Jingren picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said wistfully: "Little sister is very right. Originally, the pot was closed and the kiln was opened, but because of the Xiao family's proposal, we took it down. Now the situation in this mansion is... "

He stopped talking up to this point, his complexion became more and more gloomy, and a few deep wrinkles formed on his forehead.

Zhong was taken aback for a moment, but she might have misunderstood his intentions, so she smiled wryly: "I understand what elder brother means. However, the Xiao family is not very reliable or trustworthy. Since the husband master left Mrs. Xiao has only been here once, and her attitude is very cold. Now something happened to his family study, but the eldest brother also saw it, and the Xiao family didn't even think about coming to ask us for help. They would rather stop the study of the family than I would like to ask for help. If the Husband Master is still alive, it will definitely not be like this." After Yu Ba let out a long sigh, his face was full of helplessness.

Zhong Jingren was stunned by what she said, and immediately understood what she meant, shook his head and said: "I didn't mean that, my little sister made a mistake. To tell you the truth, I never thought the Xiao family was so good, but my brother-in-law I insisted with Mrs. Tai, so I took the path of the Xiao family. According to my original intention, it would be best if the Qin family could not be attached to any clan, but..."

He stopped here, his expression turned sad for a moment, and his voice gradually lowered: "... But, this road is difficult to walk, our Zhong family...is an example."

At this point, there was a trace of melancholy in his peaceful eyes, he sighed, and said no more.

The Zhong family was moved by his words, thinking back on the old affairs of the family, how many ambitions and high ambitions were consumed by this neglected world, the clan members withered and their family status was low.Thinking of this, she was also full of sorrow, and then sighed.

For a while, neither of them spoke, only the harsh north wind sometimes lifted the thick curtains, sending the icy winter into the room.

After a long silence, Zhong Jingrenfang stood up, stretched out his sleeves, and said with a sigh: "Forget it, the past is over, why bother to mention it again." Then he walked slowly to the door, lifted the curtain to look out, and then said again. Looking back at Mrs. Zhong, he smiled and said, "The plum blossoms in your place bloomed too early, and there was a gust of wind just now. I even smelled the fragrance of plum blossoms. Is it the jade butterfly that bloomed last year?"

Seeing him changing the subject, Zhong knew that he didn't want to worry about her, so she cheered up and said with a smile: "Where is the jade butterfly, that's the one in bud." Arriving at Zhong Jingren's side, he stretched out his finger and said in another direction: "The one that blooms very pink was just moved from Xi'an Xiangting this year. Wu Niang said it was Fu Fen. It is best seen when it snows, and it is better than the red one." Mei Guyan, this flower has a soft but not weak character."

Zhong Jingren let out a "huh", nodded his beard, and didn't go out, just stood by the door and watched from a distance.

Mrs. Zhong stood beside Zhong Jingren, looking at the Fufen plant from a distance, suddenly remembered something, pondered for a while, and asked softly: "Since we are talking about Wu Niang, I would like to ask my elder brother, why did you suddenly plant it today?" Want to see the painting?"

Zhong Jingren acted very prudently and never participated in the battle between the two courts of the Qin family.It was also because of this that although Lin Shi was very wary of Zhong Shi, she didn't have any ill feeling towards Zhong Jingren.Mrs. Tai also admired his prudence and kindness, and confidently handed over the Qin family kiln factory to him.

However, today he suddenly asked to look at the paintings, and what he looked at was the paintings of the two ladies in the East Courtyard. Later, he almost got involved in the struggle between the concubine and the concubines. Mrs. Zhong was very puzzled, so she took this opportunity to ask come out.
