Jade Space of Rebirth

Chapter 74 Young Master Xiao's Surprise!

"That's not a rope!" Tang Zhi shook her head, walked over and pointed to the disassembled diagram she had drawn, "The long one is an iron wire, and the two sides are fixed with iron frames. Roll up and move!"

"Iron wire?" Could it be that iron is made into wire?Master Wang has never heard of this.

Tang Zhi raised her forehead a little, and said, "This picture is just for your reference. Aunt Cao said that as long as it can withstand the weight and pressure, it is fine, preferably soft silk or something like that."

"Then what do the pulleys and the gears in the picture mean?" Master Wang continued to ask shamelessly, obviously he was very curious about everything in the picture.

Tang Zhi was in a bit of pain. To be honest, she didn't know much about these things, but in order to make things possible, she could only tell what she knew. It was nothing more than inertia caused by the reasoning of some gears. of.

"If you say that, I can make something!" Master Wang pondered for a while after hearing this, then looked at the picture for a while, and then said with determination.

"It's good if you can do it. Aunt Cao was worried that it would be too hard for our family's servants to transport vegetables up and down every day, so she came up with this method, so Grandpa Wang must help us make it better." For the Tang family, Tang Zhi did not hesitate to drool , even Grandpa Wang shouted out.

How can Master Wang not agree?Anyway, he was quite interested in these things, so he agreed.

And Tang Zhi directly took out a bag of things and handed it over. Master Wang took it because he didn't know it. After opening it, he found that it was more than 100 taels of silver. Tang Zhi suddenly changed. I really didn't expect her to come here alone. Forget it, he still brought so much money.

At the moment, she felt a little scared, obviously directly ignoring where she escaped from with so much money just now.

Tang Zhi patiently listened to Master Wang's instruction, but she firmly refused Master Wang's request for someone to send her off, and said that she was going to find Doctor Wang. Tang Zhi worshiped Dr. Wang as his master.

Of course, Tang Zhi didn't really run to the master's house. After seeing that no one was looking at her behind her, she turned around and flew away lightly.Ever since she knew how to use the mist, she simply practiced it every day. As long as no one was around, Tang Zhi hardly walked anymore. Controlling the mist to lift herself up, the scene was like Monkey King stepping on a somersaulting cloud. gone……

The Xiao Family's Clothes Pavilion.

Young Master Xiao specially came to Nishang Pavilion to inspect today. He looked at the overcrowded guests with satisfaction, checked the clothes in Nishang Pavilion, and then went to the back hall to check the bill.

As a result, not long after sitting down, someone reported Mrs. Xiao's arrival.

Madam Xiao?
Young Master Xiao was stunned for a moment before he remembered who it was. He frowned and looked up from the account book, looking at the guy standing beside him. The guy who looked at him was feeling uncomfortable, "Young...Young Master, do you want to invite Mrs. Xiao? Come in?"

The buddy forced himself to ask, and saw Young Master Xiao's frown deepened, and his heart became cold all of a sudden.

"kindness!"

Xiao Fang didn't understand why that woman didn't stay at Xiao's house well and went to Nishang Pavilion to do it. Could it be that she wanted to gain something from Xiao's house?Young Master Xiao had absolutely no affection for his father's favorite aunt.

Mrs. Xiao, that is, Aunt Xiao, is indeed the fourth wife of the head of the Xiao family. It is reasonable to say that she is called an aunt outside, but the eldest lady passed away a few years ago and has nothing to do, so the most beloved fourth aunt She's in the top position. Of course, the high position doesn't mean status, but love.

Almost everyone in the Xiao family is used to her calling herself the hostess, so outsiders also overlook that she is not a real wife, and there are two 'sisters' on her.

Aunt Xiao twisted her body and went into the back hall. When she saw the figure sitting behind the table, the smile on her face deepened. She didn't have the haughty expression in Li's shop at all. She fixed her eyes on Xiao Fang in front of her, Knowing that the other party looked at her displeasedly, he paused and said, "Young Master!"

"Well, I heard that you are looking for me, what's the matter?" Young Master Xiao has always liked to make quick decisions, and couldn't understand this woman's delicate demeanor, so he asked directly.

"Uh... this..." Aunt Xiao also remembered her reason for coming, and her expression became uncomfortable, "It's that... about the clothes..."

Young Master Xiao was extremely dissatisfied with Aunt Xiao's reaction. Before she could finish speaking, she said, "If I ask about the clothes you gave, I can tell you that the masters are ready to make them!"

"No... no! I can't do it yet!"

"The reason?" Xiao Fang also saw the clothes, and felt that the prospects should be good, but he didn't understand what Aunt Xiao meant when she suddenly said that she couldn't do it.

Speaking of this Aunt Xiao hesitated again, but when she looked up and saw Young Master Xiao's impatient eyes, she didn't care, and said with confidence, "Because there is a tailor shop on the street that has already made it. And it opened today, I happened to see it today, and went to the door to argue, but those people kicked me out!"

"Drive you out?" Young Master Xiao's eyes were obviously suspicious. He didn't pay much attention to Aunt Xiao on weekdays, but it's not like she didn't understand her style. No one in Teng County would drive her out!
Aunt Xiao felt a little guilty, "It's obvious that their shop imitated our clothes, but they even said they would bite back. The young master should punish them well. I said that I am from the Xiao family, and they even provoked me!"

"What's the name of the shop?"

Eldest young master, are you going to make a move?
When Aunt Xiao heard Young Master Xiao asking her name, she hurriedly reported it excitedly, "The Tang family's ready-to-wear shop is just behind the strange fruit shop!"

Young Master Xiao felt that the name was a bit familiar, when he suddenly heard Aunt Xiao's last words, he suddenly understood, with a hint of interest in his eyes, the Tang family...

Young Master Xiao asked Aunt Xiao to be sent back to the mansion. Aunt Xiao couldn't understand what the young master meant, but she didn't dare to ask. After all, she knew the truth very well when others didn't know the truth, so she had to follow the servants of Nishang Pavilion honestly. up.

After Aunt Xiao left, Young Master Xiao lost his interest in looking at the account book. He leaned on the chair with his arms crossed and stared at the table in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking, until the footsteps of the guys in the cabinet passed by and woke him up. After a moment of pondering, he got up and left the room.

The steward of the Nishang Pavilion saw Young Master Xiao coming downstairs, and rushed up to greet him. Seeing that his face was fine, thinking of Mrs. Xiao's frightened expression before leaving, he thought that Young Master Xiao was on fire again, and he thought about it later Seeing how the young master should speak will not set him on fire.

"Well, come here, I have something to ask you!"

The young master Xiao who was in charge stretched out his hand to beckon, with a high heart, looked at the serious man in front of him, subconsciously lowered his head and looked respectful, "What do you want, young master?"

"Stop the clothes that are said to be rushing to work yesterday, and let the master destroy the blueprints that have been made. Someone in Teng County has already made them, and Nishang Pavilion will not repeat them!"

Young Master Xiao left these words expressionless, and turned around to leave regardless of the steward's blank expression.As for the account book, Young Master Xiao decided not to read it today, and wait until it is delivered to Xiao's house in the evening to take a look at it, Young Master Xiao thought to himself.

The shopkeeper originally wanted to ask if he dared to stop making the clothes, what would he bring out tomorrow?But looking at Young Master Xiao's back, he swallowed his words rationally, that's all, I think it's better to do as Young Master Xiao said, as for the clothes, I can only let the master redraw the picture overnight.

Young Master Xiao who left the Nishang Pavilion did not inspect other properties as usual, but walked among the crowd, treating himself as a pedestrian, with a calm expression on his face, as if he was taking a walk.

It’s just that as I walked, I couldn’t help but come to a place. Looking up, the signboard with golden letters on the opposite shop was majestic, surrounded by green vines, as if I could enter a place just by looking at the signboard. special place.

—— Qiguofang!

It was the first time for Young Master Xiao to look at this shop. At first he heard it from the members of the Xiao family and he didn't take it seriously, but then the poisoning incident of Qiguofang caused by Xiao Ershao made the whole Teng County boil. At that time, Xiao Young and old also had to take a serious look at this new opponent.

I have to say that standing in front of me is more true than what others have said. Maybe Xiao Xiao thought that it was just a fruit shop that didn't have much impact on the Xiao family's business. Now when he walked into the shop with the crowd , Everything he saw with his eyes made him unable to bear the novelty.

At this moment, Young Master Xiao seemed to have become one of the guests, looking at the beautiful fruit in the wooden box that he had never seen before, his eyes were a little lingering, his eyes were filled with interest, his slender fingers rubbed the smooth surface of the fruit body, As if he could smell the fragrance of the fruit, Young Master Xiao was surprised.

Between Chuntao Chunliu and the guests in Qiguofang, according to the Tang family's requirements for servants, they kept a strong and gentle smile on every guest. When they saw Young Master Xiao, they were stunned for a moment, seeing that this guest The more calm Chuntao stepped forward and asked politely, "Do you have any fruit you like?"

Young Master Xiao suddenly heard a voice next to his ear. His thin voice was filled with kind inquiries, and his long and narrow eyes raised to look at the woman standing beside him. There was a gleam of brilliance, "No, can you introduce some for me, girl?"

Young Master Xiao's voice is very mellow, and it sounds special, which invisibly shows the maturity of a man.

It may be that she seldom sees such a handsome young man. Chuntao blushed, but there was no other abnormality. She tried her best to calmly point to some of the ones she had tasted and found delicious. Not to mention, young master, you can try our unique lantern fruit and grapes. This lantern fruit is a kind of fruit discovered by our Tang family. It not only looks good, but also tastes good. As for grapes, don't underestimate it This is also a grape vine that our Tang family found in the distant mountains. Finally, it was transplanted to the orchard and gradually grew. Not only does it taste better than ordinary grapes, but it is also several times larger, and these..."

In fact, fruits are the most popular in Qiguofang. Tang Zhi is very relaxed with everyone on weekdays, and she also bluntly said that the workers in the Tang family can eat the fruits of Qiguofang. After all, it is their own industry, and it cannot be said that others eat it. , They sell things but don't know the taste.

So the servants of the Tang family can say that they have eaten every kind, but sometimes they think of the preciousness of this thing, so they chew it a little cautiously.

Chuntao almost drooled, but the young master in front of her didn't say anything, remembering that there were too many people in the shop who just didn't want to buy, maybe the one in front of her just came in out of curiosity, so she stopped, but her expression didn't show any dissatisfaction. resistance.

"Just what you said just now!"

Young Master Xiao opened his mouth, but Chuntao didn't react, did he want to buy it?She just introduced several, which ones do you want?
Perhaps because he saw that Chuntao didn't understand, Young Master Xiao pointed to the row in front of him with rare patience, and said domineeringly, "That's all, just pretend!"

"Uh...yes, please wait a moment!"

Chuntao heard clearly now, and saw that the guest did not seem to be joking, so she took out a few out of the bags made by Qiguofang, and picked out some fruits of several varieties, not too much, not too little, very even.

Young Master Xiao involuntarily shifted his eyes from the fruit to those strange-looking bags. When Chuntao gave the price, Young Master Xiao curiously pointed at these strange things with two curved cloths, "This is also the bag from your Tang Dynasty. Did you make it yourself?"

Chuntao followed his gaze and saw that what he was talking about was fruit bags, she was taken aback for a moment, and then nodded, "Yes, in order to prevent guests from being inconvenient to carry fruits, our shop has prepared a lot of these bags. bag!"
