happy event

Chapter 195 Made it, really made it!
Zhang Yang heard about Cao Jiayun's marriage from his master this morning, and he naturally also learned that the mistress had done a lot for him, so he just didn't know how to thank him.Seeing Mr. Dong going out now, he quickly led him down the mountain and drove him back to Huaishu Village. By the way, he planned to turn to the gate of Cao's house when he came back, maybe he could see the second sister.

It's a pity that Mrs. Cao took her daughter home from the orchard and guarded her very strictly, preventing her from going out for a while, so Zhang Yang's little plan naturally came to nothing.

However, fortunately, the auspicious date calculated by blind Liu, the most famous man in the city, was right in front of him, so he managed to suppress his longing.

Finally, when the auspicious day came, the old shopkeeper of the cloth village in the city pretended to be an elder and went to Cao's house to propose marriage with flamboyant and generous gifts, and Cao's family naturally agreed.Mrs. Cao specially asked Zi Zhu to come to the house to help, and bought a table of food and wine.She was still a little bit distressed about eating, but when the guests went out to see the presents from her future son-in-law, she immediately smiled happily and said, "I made it, I really made it!"

When Zizhu returned home, he would secretly learn from his wife, and Dong Rong was so happy that she almost spit the tea in her mouth.

In a few days, the old shopkeeper went to Cao's house to place a dowry again. Zhang Yang naturally spent more money this time, not to mention all kinds of dry goods and sundries, there were only six sets of gold and silver jewelry, and the high-quality materials were even more decorative. Two big boxes were full, causing the envious eyes of the folks who came to watch the fun to turn red.

Mrs. Cao was so happy that she almost raised her chin to the sky. A large plate of peanuts, sunflower seeds and snacks were brought out to entertain the guests. The villagers just wanted to say a few sour words, but they swallowed them because of the good food.

Second Sister Cao hid in her own room and refused to come out, but the girls who were familiar with her on weekdays would not let her go. They got into the house together, chattering non-stop, and Second Sister Cao was so ashamed that she wanted to run to the orchard to hide.

It's a pity that even if she grows wings and flies to the sky, she still has to come back to get married.

On this day when the spring was warm and the flowers were blooming, the courtyard of the Cao Family was opened wide, with flower balls made of bright red silk hung on the lintel, and more than a dozen seats were arranged in the courtyard, with dozens of young wives and mothers-in-law walking around. Come and go, help with the wine and food.

Mrs. Cao and old man Cao wore brand new clothes, one wore a gold mask, and the other held a jade cigarette pipe. They sat in the lobby together, waiting for their son-in-law to pick up their daughter.

In order to get married, Zhang Yang specially bought a small yard in the city, and drove a first-class sixteen carriages to pick up his bride early in the morning.The dowry boxes, which had been piled up for half the yard, were loaded onto the carriage, Zhang Yang kowtowed to the two elders of the Cao family, and then the second sister Cao was helped out of the boudoir by Zizhu and Yiba.

Mrs. Cao and old man Cao remembered that their daughter had been bedridden since she was a child, and they had to worry every day, for fear that she would be taken away by the king of hell someday. How could they have thought that there would be such a beautiful time to marry a daughter today.The two elders had mixed feelings for a while, and they couldn't help crying.Granny Cao even held the daughter's hand, choking with sobs.

Dong Rong hurried forward to help persuade, Granny Cao barely held back her tears, and warned her daughter, "Second sister, if you get married today, you will be a member of the Zhang family from now on. Mother doesn't ask you to be rich, but only to live in harmony with you. Please take care of your body."

The old man Cao also said, "My son must respect the husband-lord and abide by women's morals."

"Yes, father and mother, my daughter has gone." The second sister Cao was hiding under the embroidered hijab, crying like tears. Dong Rong stepped forward and handed her a handkerchief and signaled her husband to go out with her sister on his back.

Murong Huaide grew up in Cao's family since he was a child, and got along very well with Second Sister Cao, an innocent and kind-hearted little sister. Seeing her getting married today, he felt something in his heart. Then he stepped forward and bent over to pick up his sister and sent her to the carriage.

According to the old rule handed down from ancient times, when a girl's feet are away from the threshold of her mother's family, her mother's family is not allowed to shed tears, otherwise the daughter will spend the rest of her life in tears.Therefore, even if Mrs. Cao was reluctant to part with her daughter, she quickly wiped away her tears and got up to invite many folks to sit and drink.

Dong Rong was already generous, and today she was marrying off her most beloved little sister, so naturally she would not be stingy.There are large pieces of meat, whole chicken, and whole fish on every table, and all the villagers nod and praise non-stop.

Second Sister Cao and Zhang Yang lived in the small courtyard in the city for two days, and moved directly to the courtyard on the top of the mountain when they returned home on the third day.The young couple with hippie smiles occupied the left wing of the Sanjin courtyard. Zhang Yang pretended to be nearby to wait for the prince's order, while the second sister Cao clamored to help his sister-in-law take care of the three little nephews and nieces.

Dong Rong looked at Second Sister Cao, who was sitting on the soft couch in front of the window, happily eating snacks, and she was extremely sure that she would take care of another "older child" in the future.

Mrs. Cao had been thinking about her daughter for the past few days, but when she saw this, she was overjoyed and said yes, it would be extremely convenient to be able to hug her eldest grandson and see her little daughter when she went to the mountain next time.

Only Murong Huaide didn't like it very much. Girls like to cling to their daughter-in-law the most. Now that she has moved in, with three growing children, how can the daughter-in-law have time to gossip and walk with him.

Thinking of this, he turned his head to old man Cao, hoping that his father would stop him.It's a pity that the old man suddenly became interested in jade pipes today, and he lowered his head to study for half an hour, but he refused to raise his head to receive his son's distress signal.

In this way, Zhang Yang and the second sister Cao lived in the compound on the top of the mountain, and the whole family lived happily.In the orchard, the mountain of peach blossoms bloomed and then fell, gradually there were fingernail-sized hairy peaches hanging on the branches.

The restaurant at the foot of the mountain began to restrict the entry and exit of diners these days, and only accepted seven or eight tables a day. Although everyone received a lot less rewards, the work was much easier, and occasionally they could sit under the fruit trees and rest for a while.

Dong Rong is a bit busy these days, and even handed over her daughter to the nanny to take care of.There is no other reason, she has to dress up as a man every day, and take Boss A and Yun Rui to the north gate of Qing County, where there is the Liuli kiln she just took over.

The owner of the glazed kiln was still worrying about not being able to sell the glazed objects, but suddenly he heard that someone wanted to sell the kiln, and he almost sold the kiln at a very low price.

Dong Rong directly took out 50 taels of silver and offered a huge reward, no matter the master craftsman or handyman in the kiln mouth, whoever can make a glass bottle with a spiral neck will be rewarded with this silver.

The kiln workers are all poor people, and the meager wages they earn on weekdays are only enough to support their families. After hearing this, they really saw the white money. I can't sleep anymore.

It is said that there must be a brave man under a great reward. On this day, a young man in his twenties ran out of the kiln with hair that was scorched like a dog, screaming excitedly while holding a The round glass bottle kept shaking.

Boss A didn't ask him anything, and directly sent the bottle to the room where the mistress was resting.Dong Rong was checking the account book, thinking of some fresh ideas to turn Liuli into a profit. Seeing the bottle sent by Boss A, she checked it carefully and said, "This bottle is well made. I'll let Yu Guisheng make a lid when I go back tonight." Give it a try, if it fits seamlessly and does not leak, then reward the silver hair."

Boss A spread the word, and the young man was so happy that he almost went crazy.Although the master didn't say it clearly, it is obvious that he has affirmed his achievements. Even if the cover is not tightly closed, he only needs to adjust the screw thread again.Therefore, the silver reward is almost definitely in his hands.

Although the rest of the masters felt a little pity in their hearts, they were discussing life together on weekdays, and their relationship was still very deep. They clicked their mouths a little bit regretfully and then stepped forward to say congratulations.

Dong Rong ignored the kiln workers and returned to the orchard early in the car.Yu Guisheng refused to let people talk about carpentry skills, and the saw and plane were flying in his hands, but he made a round lid in a moment, and screwed it directly onto the glass bottle after he carved the threads on the inside.

The transparent round bottle, with the light yellow wooden lid, looks very beautiful, but it is a pity that it leaks when it is tilted on its side.Dong Rong frowned. Originally, she remembered that the fruit could not be sold last year, so she came up with the idea of ​​making canned fruit, so that the orchard would not worry about the whereabouts of the fruit, and it would be a big profit to preserve it in winter. Being able to work in a workshop to earn some household income is really a good deal that kills multiple birds with one stone.

But the big problem of bottle leakage cannot be solved, how about transportation and storage?

After all, Yu Guisheng has worked with wood for more than ten years and is very familiar with the characteristics of various woods.Seeing this, he picked and picked among the piles of wood in the yard for a long time, and then took out a piece of wood with a dark color. After making the cover, he soaked it in water for two quarters of an hour, and waited to cover it again in the glass bottle for a while. Some are big, but after being dried by the stove, the wooden lid is tightly fastened on the bottle, and half a drop of water does not leak.

Everyone clapped their hands happily, but Dong Rong frowned and asked, "Since the wood swells when exposed to water, the lid will inevitably come off when the bottle is filled with candied fruits and water. Wouldn't it fall off at any time?"

Yu Guisheng smiled honestly, and replied, "My boss, don't worry, just stick a piece of cork in the lid and it will be fine."

Only then did Dong Rong feel relieved, and praised, "This time, I will remember you as a great achievement. When the workshop at home opens in the future, all the wooden lids will be handed over to you to lead someone to make, and you will get two cents each. How about it?"

Ever since Yu Guisheng found out that his wife was pregnant with a child, he wished he could earn back a fortune in no time, and tried his best to give his wife and children the best possible life.Hearing this, he was overjoyed and thanked again and again. He can make a hundred of these small objects in one day, which is as easy as picking up money.

On the second day, the bounty at the mouth of the glazed kiln was also distributed. Dong Rong was even more generous and took out another ten taels of silver. All the kiln workers counted as one, even if they didn't figure out the threaded bottle mouth, they still got the bounty. .The kiln workers were so happy that they almost went crazy. They made up their minds to work hard in the future, and they would definitely live up to the kindness of the new owner.

Zhang Yang hired more than a dozen master craftsmen from the city, and led a group of handymen from the orchard to build two rows of houses on a quiet open space at the foot of the mountain behind the orchard.
