Nongmen has a sweet disease

Chapter 302
The pressurized well and the fire extinguisher are both pressure devices. As soon as Bai Yuran made a move, everyone in the Ministry of Industry realized that he came to the Ministry of Industry with preparation.

He assists in managing Dushui, and everything he does is related.

Before Zhen Tai could speak, some officials below stood up to object and ridicule, saying that they were all opportunistic useless things, tasteless things, and when the fire really hit, it would be straightforward to pour buckets of water on it.Moreover, each palace is equipped with auspicious tanks, which store a large amount of water, and the fire trucks are useless at all.

There are a lot of opponents in the DPRK and China.

"You will know how effective it is once you test it!" Zuo Xiang Liu Boji said with a smile.

"Then let's test the effectiveness of fire extinguishing on the spot!" Emperor Renxuan was interested.He heard Bai Yuran's description of the fire extinguisher that sprayed water, and he thought he had a good eloquence, so he wanted to see it.

When the left minister spoke, the other voices of opposition suddenly became much quieter.

Zhen Tai squinted at Liu Boji, "Your Excellency Zuo has a long-term vision! You know that a fire-fighting water truck can be of great use!"

Sarcastic Bai Yuran is a worthless person, Liu Boji still supports Bai Yuran, just against him!

Liu Boji chuckled, "At the time when the court is employing people, the emperor cherishes talents and loves talents. If he really uses them, he will do a good job for our court and a blessing for the people! This is also our duty!"

Zhen Tai said bluntly, "Looking at the truth, you bastards are mediocre and useless, and you can only play lip service!"

"Then Master Zhen, why don't you just take a look and talk?" Liu Boji still had a smile on his face.

Emperor Renxuan has ordered the test, "Get ready!"

Bai Yuran has tested many times at home with people. If the water can be stored continuously, he feels that the water truck will be more effective in watering the flowers and fields.

Seeing that Liu Boji was fighting against Zhen Tai and won the test, Bai Yuran took the test himself.

The light wooden shed was temporarily built, and a lot of straw and straw were placed, as well as things for hanging curtains.

These things ignited at a very fast speed, if there is any wind to borrow, they will be connected together, and it will be too late to extinguish them.

Bai Yuran took the manpower and drove the fire engine, waiting for the fire to light up.

As a result, the person who lit the fire didn't shout at all after the fire was burning.

Zhen Tai snorted softly, "Fires happen every time, and the fire has already ignited when they are discovered. If it's just to extinguish a single spark, it's like a bowl of water, what's the use of it!"

Bai Yuran could see smoke from a distance, and the flames rushed out.The person who lit the fire did not shout.

There was a mockery in his eyes, and he looked at it calmly.

Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, Emperor Renxuan looked a little bad.

A sneer flashed in Zhen Tai's eyes, "In this case, if you wait for the fire engine to come, I'm afraid it will burn out and kill people!"

Li Jingchun, who is in charge of the palace guards, is getting more and more ugly. If such a fire in the palace has not been discovered, then the palace guards have neglected their duties, and he has neglected their duties!

Liu Boji glanced at him, "Your majesty! It's been a long time since no one found out about the fire. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to patrol the palace!"

Emperor Renxuan thought of patrolling his palace just now.If it is daytime, a little flame should be discovered and extinguished early!If there is a fire at night, and there is a flame, the patrolling guards will definitely find it quickly, so as to ensure the safety of the palace.

Li Jingchun's forehead was sweating a little, and his face was a little red, "Your Majesty! The patrol in the palace will never be so lax!"

The shed built over there has been burned clean, leaving some burnt ashes, burning wooden pillars, and unburned planks.

Bai Yuran rushed over, "Your Majesty! It's on fire, why didn't the guards patrolling the palace report it? It's all burnt out! If there is someone inside, wouldn't someone be killed?"

These blunt words made Zhen Tai realize that if a fire broke out in the palace and people were killed, then apart from the lowly maids and eunuchs, the palace would be full of nobles and masters.
Looking at the winks of his subordinates behind him, seeing that Li Jingchun's face and Emperor Renxuan's face were both bad, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty! The palace is full of brick and tile houses, and the wooden structures in the house are also made of non-combustible wood. This white jade is dyed to show Merit, I used stalks and straw to build a shed, but I didn’t want to see such a day, if the stalks caught fire, it would definitely be burned, and it would be burned up in a blink of an eye!”

Blame it on Bai Yuran.

But those flammable objects were prepared according to his will, to embarrass Bai Yuran, make him unable to offer advice, fail, arouse the emperor's disgust, or punish him for a crime of ineffectiveness, and save him from office!

Bai Yuran glanced at him, "Your Majesty! If it's a test, you can't use the palace to burn it, and building a new house is a waste of money, so I asked you to build a relatively large wooden shed to test the fire-fighting effect."

Emperor Renxuan nodded, knowing in his heart why Zhen Tai targeted Bai Yuran, "Rebuild!"

"Yes!" Bai Yuran responded.

This simple wooden shed was built very quickly, this time it was still paved with straw and stalks, and cloth curtains.

When the fire was burning, Li Jingchun calculated the approximate time when he discovered the fire based on the situation of each palace, and then shouted, "It's gone! It's gone!"

Bai Yuran, who was at the preset point, immediately led people to drive the waterwheel over.

The water is being pressed at the back, and the water spray pipe in the front sprays water quickly, hitting the fire source directly.The high ones even sprayed directly to the burning place of the beams.

Two fire extinguishing water trucks quickly extinguished the fire, and two additional fire extinguishing trucks on other pre-set points also hurriedly arrived.

If the fire is large, it can also ensure that the water truck is sufficient.

Emperor Renxuan saw the scene of the pressure water truck testing the fire, and immediately ordered the Ministry of Industry to build fire-extinguishing water trucks to equip all the palaces and all the courtiers' homes in case of emergency.He also ordered Bai Yuran to build a pressure well in the palace.

Bai Yuran led the people to work for a day, drilled a small-caliber well, and installed the pressurized well.

Find someone to look at the underground water veins in advance. This well is just at the source of clean water, and the water can be easily squeezed out by pressing the handle of the well.

After seeing it, Emperor Renxuan first thought of such a small-caliber well, and no one would commit suicide or die in the well.

"When I was young, I was fond of playing and playing hide-and-seek. I once hid by a well in the palace, but I saw a palace man drowned in the capital."

After hearing his words, all the ministers also understood that only mice could drown in this kind of small-caliber well that could only be stretched into an arm.

Zhen Tai's eyes were not friendly, and he gave Bai Yuran a cold look, "This pressurized well is only for small use. Bai Yuran has joined the Ministry of Industry and is also in the Department of Civil Affairs in Dushui, so he should fulfill his duties and worry about river defense, ditches, water conservancy, and bridges. !"

Bai Yuran was waiting for him right here, "Your Majesty! Since I was born in a farming family, I know that the farmers are suffering and the harvest is not easy. This pressurized well can naturally be used to irrigate crops!"

Emperor Renxuan nodded in satisfaction, "Putting you in the Ministry of Industry, you really deserve it!"

He ordered the promotion of fire extinguishing water trucks and pressurized water wells, and rewarded ten pieces of white jade dyed diamond gauze cotton cloth.

For a while, Bai Yuran received attention in the Ministry of Industry, even in the court, and it was considered to have some weight.

Many invitations such as lotus appreciation and lake tours are sent to the house in summer.

When Luo Fu's wife posted a post before, Bai Yuran directly rejected it because she was running on the road and felt unwell. It would be inappropriate to refuse again this time.

Chunxi turned her head towards Wei Huayin, "Young Mistress always likes simplicity, and the slaves have learned many tricks to curl their hair, but they are useless!"

Her face finally came in handy, showing off her skills and letting Wei Huayin show off.

"Easier! After all, we are from the countryside!" Wei Huayin said to her.

Chunxi's face collapsed, and she looked at Zhu's mother, asking for help.

Wishing my mother a smile, "Just give the young mistress a refreshing flying fairy bun!"

"But you don't need any jewelry for the flying fairy bun!" Chunxi was dissatisfied, "When the time comes, the wives and ladies will dress up in luxury and wealth, so they will bully our young mistress! Young mistress! Let the servants play their role again!"

Wei Huayin was helpless, seeing her competitive face, "One chance."

"Yes!" Chunxi replied, her mind was spinning quickly, and her hands combed deftly. Taking advantage of her short hair before summer, she combed her hair into a flying fairy bun that changed its shape.Then I used the two emerald tassel flower hairpins, and then I showed a satisfied look.

Such a beautiful and beautiful master, she learned the art of combing her hair and putting on makeup, and her hands itch when she saw it!
Qiuxi has a gentle temperament, ever since she was able to serve Wei Huayin close to her, she followed her preferences and orders, serving her master comfortably and comfortably.Picked out a few sets of elegant yet stylish clothes for Wei Huayin to choose from, "Young Mistress! Let's see which one to choose!"

Wei Huayin chose the ink and smoke blue embroidered skirt with wide sleeves.

"Mom! Hug!" Little Naibao ran over, and when she saw that she had changed into new clothes, she rushed over.

Wei Huayin hugged her up, "You stay at home with the nanny obediently, and the nanny will bring you delicious food when she comes back!"

"Dear!" Xiao Naibao hugged her and kissed her.

Wei Huayin also kissed her on the cheek twice, seeing that it was late, he handed her over to the wet nurse.

Take Chunxi, Qiuxi, wish mom, and Gu Daliu to go out.

It's neither early nor late, and I came to Luo's house.

And there are many people sitting in Luo's Garden, mostly just to see what the wife of the new top scholar looks like. She was born in the countryside, but she actually chose a handsome and talented husband like Bai Yuran, and she couldn't help but die for her. I would like to marry the jewel in the palm of the right minister's mansion, that is the grandniece of the empress dowager's mother's family.

As soon as Gu Daliu came, he handed over the post, and the servants immediately informed that Mrs. Zhuangyuan had arrived, but they didn't let the carriage in, but stopped outside the door to let Wei Huayin get off.

Zhu's mother's face darkened. This is from a small place that bullied them, and they don't know the rules of etiquette?
She opened the curtain of the car, and asked with a half smile, "Madam Luo, do you want us to get off the car outside the gate?"

"Oh! Look at the brains of this servant. He only cared about meeting the legendary Mrs. Zhuangyuan today, but he forgot to invite Mrs. Zhuangyuan in! Hurry up!" The steward who received the guests smiled and hurriedly invited inside.

I wish my mother a chuckle, followed the car and entered through the side door.

After walking to the second gate, Wei Huayin was picked up from the carriage.

There was a mother in charge waiting at the second gate, and several servants crowded over to watch.

"Is this the Mrs. Zhuangyuan?" The mother in charge came forward with amazement.

"Exactly!" Mom Zhu handed over the post with a smile.

The mother in charge looked Wei Huayin up and down, and quickly bowed her knees to salute, "At first I heard that Mrs. Zhuangyuan is as beautiful as a flower, but now I see that she is really beautiful!" She said good things while inviting her in.

Wei Huayin smiled indifferently, a little uncomfortable with socializing like this.However, if Bai Yuran wanted to be able to get along well in the officialdom, he would not be able to get rid of his relationship with the inner house, so this kind of social interaction was also very necessary.Pull yourself together and play the role of a newcomer who has just entered Beijing and has just joined the society of high-class ladies.

When we arrived at the garden of the back house, Mrs. Luo greeted her in amazement, "Is this Mrs. Xinke No.Such a stunning and charming person, even a man would be reluctant to part with it!
The mother in charge introduced, "This is my wife!"

"Mrs. Luo!" Wei Huayin saluted slightly.

Mrs. Luo grabbed her and looked her up and down. She saw that she was slender, with exquisite facial features. She had not applied any makeup, but her skin was as soft as snow.

Mrs. Luo, who was already in her thirties, looked at such a color and such a skin, and suddenly felt her heart stabbed.

"Come, come! Mrs. Zhuangyuan is here! She is truly a peerless beauty!" She pulled Wei Huayin in and called everyone to come and see.

The wives and ladies from all the prefectures who had already come looked over one after another, either in amazement, amazement, or unkind eyes.

Wei Huayin was calm and composed, and slightly bowed his knees to give a blessing.

Mrs. Luo boasted again, "I only heard people say that Mrs. Xinke Zhuangyuan is more beautiful than a fairy, but I didn't believe it at that time. But those people said, what kind of person can make Zhuangyuanlang refuse to marry the Zhen family? The wretched wife! I saw you today! You deserve it! I’m afraid it’s rare to find a few in the entire capital!”

"It's just that I can dress up a little bit, Mrs. Luo's praise! I'm the lady who saw the whole garden, as if I saw a fairy!" Wei Huayin smiled slightly with lowered eyes.

"This little mouth really looks like it's been smeared with honey!" Mrs. Luo kept laughing.

When the other wives saw Wei Huayin talking like this, they didn't show timidity as they imagined, and they were petty. Not only did they look stunning, but they also had a good temperament and demeanor, and they could be regarded as having a talking mouth.They all spoke.

Someone automatically came over to introduce the wife of which family, or the lady of the servant's mansion, or the wife of the doctor's mansion.

Wei Huayin remembered all of them. Before she came, she had read the tables of power and in-laws in each family.Bai Yuran said that he asked where he bought it from, and he was very clear about the number of servants, the general property, and his wife's dowry property.

This Luo Fu is just a servant of the Ministry of Industry, and it is difficult to get together for the gatherings among the upper echelons. Most of the people invited are relatives of the Luo family, have good relations with each other, and come and go between colleagues.It's easy to remember, but no one introduced her, so she couldn't tell who belonged to which.

While waiting for everyone to come, Wei Huayin sat aside, drinking tea slowly.

Seeing her calmly, it was almost a scene of its own. Qin, who was watching her from a distance, walked over, "I think Mrs. Zhuangyuan's skin is really juicy. I don't know how to maintain it on a daily basis?"

Wei Huayin didn't even recognize them, but she came here to make friends with people, and explained with a smile, "It's just making some facial masks, and I usually use pure dew to cover my face."

"What is pure dew?" Qin asked.

"It's dew juice steamed from flowers and herbs. If Madam likes it, tell Madam what allergies you have, and give Madam a try!" Wei Huayin laughed.

"My face is always prone to redness, and it turns red when I see some sun. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and I have some acne again!" Qin said, touching her face.

She has sensitive skin and breaks out easily.

Wei Huayin looked at her face, put on a lot of makeup, and asked her what supplements she used on a daily basis, and they didn't contradict each other, "Then I'll go back and give Madam a try of my bottle of anti-inflammatory and calming hydrosol, and see if it works!"

The Qin family reported the name of the house by themselves, "My surname is Qin, and my husband's family is the servant of the household department, Zuo Lianyou."

"So it's Mrs. Zuo!" Wei Huayin checked the names.

Mrs. Qin talked to her, asking her where her hometown is, how it is at home, where she lives now and so on.

They were all common topics, and Wei Huayin responded with a smile.

Here, the Qin family talked about clothing and clothes, "I see that you are well dressed, at home."

Someone shouted over there, saying that sitting dry is boring, "Since it's flower viewing, why don't we come and have some fun!"

"The ones we usually play, how can we not get tired of them now? How about Mrs. Zhuangyuan tell us about your interesting stories? I heard that Mrs. Zhuangyuan came to the capital before, and her father came to rush for the exam. It seems that a widow in the east of the city recruited her Dad! Her stepmother and her came to look for it! The lawsuit came to the Yamen! Your stepmother was accused of poisoning you and exiled, right?" A young girl with a melon-shaped face asked Wei Huayin with a mocking smile.

Everyone also looked at Wei Huayin.A widow recruited a father who was rushing for the exam, and the family had a fight with the stepmother for poisoning, sued the yamen, and was exiled. All these things happened before?
Wei Huayin glanced over and explained with a smile, "Yeah! There was another painting at that time, which painted me as a fairy, and said that I had become black, ugly and obese from poisoning before, and I had passed through the underworld! I don't know about this painting. Miss, did you bring it? Take it out and show it!"

Zhang Xiyao's face turned ugly immediately, and she sneered, "Madam Zhuangyuan really knows how to joke! I just want to ask what kind of black, ugly and fat is it? Can it really become as beautiful as it is now?"
