Huanxi Farm: Pick up a husband for farming

Chapter 197 Real gold is not afraid of fire

After Huang Zhi led all the officials, big and small, to sacrifice and burn incense, Rong Shui came out again, and arranged for the crowd to come to the hill piled with iron blocks.

Said: "Fellow folks, you must know that my Rong family is smelting iron in the mine. This pile is the first batch of finished iron smelted in our mine. Everyone can go forward and check its hardness and quality."

After all, some good people really took the lead and looked around for those who didn't know the market by touching the iron block, but they couldn't see anything.

Rongshui didn't care about these idlers who just wanted to watch the fun, this move was for the blacksmiths in the blacksmith shops in the city that she specially invited over.

These people have been in contact with iron all year round and make a living from it. The retail iron blocks produced in the mine are basically purchased by them, and they are either cast and refined into weapons that people in the rivers and lakes occasionally come to find, or made into some iron utensils in ordinary people's homes. Or directly supply some folk building applications. Although the purchasing power of a blacksmith shop is not enough for a year, iron is widely used in this small city in this era, and there are more than a dozen blacksmith shops in the whole process. Buyers that cannot be given up.

Besides, Rongshui has inquired about it a long time ago. At present, these shops are buying iron ingots from neighboring counties far away for precise processing. Now that the Rong family has produced iron, they have such a big advantage that they are bound to attract these people. in hand.

Rong Shui has been thinking for a while, and indeed some old craftsmen have praised with sharp eyes: "The raw iron refined by the Rong family is really good in quality, and the hardness seems to pass the test."

Hearing what he said, Rong Shui couldn't help boasting, and said: "This master, don't keep saying that it looks good, and the hardness of our iron is unmatched by other places. If you don't mind, you can take a piece back and try it out." Refining."

The man let out an "ah" and said, "Boss Rong is really generous! Forgive me for being blind, then take a piece back and try it out!"

Rong Shui said generously: "Of course it is possible. Real gold is not afraid of fire, and the hard iron produced by our Rong family is not afraid of you, Master."

After speaking, he called the people around him and said: "All the old blacksmiths who came to see and participate in the sacrifice today will give a piece of raw iron, and let everyone take it back and have a try."

When everyone heard the order, they all expressed their generosity, and they were willing to give it a try, and the crowd rejoiced.

At this time, someone told Rong Shui that Younger Sister Rong was here, she frowned, thinking that Younger Sister Rong should stay at home and help Mrs Li with the banquet at this time?Why did you come here for no reason?Could it be that the little girl wants to watch the excitement?
Ren Rongshui thought about this a lot, but Miss Rong was not interested at all. When she saw her second sister, she shyly said, "Second sister... I didn't want to trouble you, but I really can't find anyone. So...so please..."

When Rong Xiaomei said to find someone, Rong Shui suddenly realized: "Rong Xiaomei, you are not here to find Shanhu, are you?"

Although it was a question sentence, Rong Shui was basically sure that this girl would take advantage of the confusion to make trouble for herself!

Miss Rong was not ashamed to say it directly, please look like a very busy second sister, but since Rong Shui said it directly, she generously admitted: "Yes! Second sister, I took advantage of the fact that my mother has a chef Help, I came here specially to find Big Brother Shanhu!"

However, even if it was his own younger sister, Rong Shui was merciless and said calmly: "Sister Rong, don't be crazy! Your big brother Shanhu has already left, you should go home quickly. Before you find out!"

Although Rong Shui has always been a soft-spoken person in front of her family, if it is really a headache for her, it is not easy to discuss at all, such as Rong Xiaomei who is not caring about it at this time.

However, Miss Rong felt extremely wronged. She was obediently helping Mrs. Li at home today, but she suddenly remembered that the second sister hosted the sacrificial ceremony in the name of the mine. After being busy for such a long time, I will definitely come here, so I thought of a way to get out of the house and came here.

Rong Xiaomei is crying and unhappy, how long has it been since I saw Big Brother Shanhu?Looking forward to reading like this today, it turned out to be in vain again.

She asked Rong Shui incomprehensibly, and said, "Second Sister, Big Brother Shan Hu and Hu Changzhai supposedly made great contributions to the mine, but why did they want to drive away the great meritorious officials when it came to the celebration banquet? Why is this so?" do it!"

It seems that if I don't give Rong Xiaomei an explanation today, she will not let it go. Rong Shui said: "Little sister, if you are not stupid, why can't you guess the reason? But it is not the second sister who wants to drive you, Big Brother Shanhu and the others away." Let's go, on the contrary, I even hope that they can stay, it's just... it's just that Shanhu knows the general situation, no matter how I try to keep him, I don't want to make things difficult for me here."

It turns out... Shanhu knows everything, and it turns out that he is the one who decided to leave.

After hearing this, Miss Rong gave up looking for Rongshui to make trouble for no reason. I can't blame the second sister for this matter, and I can't blame Shanhu... Brother Shanhu chose to lead his subordinates to return home on this day because he knew that the Rong family treated him badly.

But can those own family members blame it? ...these are all unanswered questions.

She understood these principles, and suddenly became quiet.

Rong Shui was busy with things ahead, seeing that little sister Rong finally figured it out, she also said: "Little sister has some feelings that don't lie in the day and night, you are too young now and maybe you don't understand these things, but in the future...you will be more mature After you have the ability to decide your love rationally, no matter who you choose, Second Sister will not object."

Rong Shui's promise may not be worth much to Xiaomei Rong now, but she will understand the importance of it in the future.

Rong Shui gave her another order: "Little sister, I don't have time to take care of you now, I'll send someone to take you home! Go back and help mother, don't let her find out."

As soon as Shanhu left, Miss Rong didn't care anymore, she naturally had no reason to stay, she just nodded copingly, and walked back with the people arranged by Rongshui.

It's just that it's not normal for Rong Xiaomei to be so obedient. Rong Xiaomei doesn't know how long the mountain tiger has traveled, but it's unlikely that she has already gone up the mountain in this short period of time, right?
With a cunning mind, she shook off the people following her, and ran in the direction of Huchangya after going round and round from the familiar alleys.

I don't have any other thoughts in my heart, I just feel that I should be able to see each other in such a short period of time, even if it's just a glance... But Rong Xiaomei has no idea what to say or do after seeing her.

It's just that the more this kind of desire, the more out of reach and impossible to realize. When Xiaomei Rong ran out of breath for a long time and was almost close to the bottom of Huchang cliff, there was a distant cry from behind. .

"Miss Rong San stop! Miss Rong Shui wants us to catch you back."

Miss Rong turned her head, with rare firmness and stubbornness in her eyes, and said, "My second sister asked you to come?... What if I say I don't? I don't want to go back!"

The leader rode a horse, walked up to Miss Rong, and said condescendingly: "Miss Rong San said that if you go up the mountain today, everyone in your family will know, and you won't have a peaceful life."

The second sister... took out her whole family to threaten her... With her current mood, she wanted to go directly to Huchang Cliff regardless, but... the price of doing so was indeed something she couldn't afford.

Rong Xiaomei stopped in her footsteps, and there were tears in her beautiful eyes.

The staggered light and shadow of the red lanterns projected on the grandstand with its fragrant clothes and temples. They sang loudly and loudly for a whole day, and everyone praised their seductive figure and frown.

Let the ordinary people who are eager for a good show look at it at the gate of the city, regardless of whether they understand or not understand the love and love in the mouth of the actor.

.

Naturally, the dignitaries disdain such common people's happiness, Rong Shui has already invited chef He Li from several big restaurants in the city to set up a banquet together.

As night approached, dignitaries entered and exited the gate of Rong's house one after another. Rong Shui and elder brother Rong Ming stood at the door to welcome the guests, and then little sister Rong led them to the seats according to the name cards.

Huang Zhi didn't call it late, but he didn't call it early either. It wasn't for putting on a show, but mainly because of the delay due to the arrangements for Liu Shi.

Rong Shui also participated in it herself. After the sacrificial ceremony was over, she specially dispatched people, and after asking Liu's opinion, she was sent to the Rong family to attend the banquet together.

Seeing that the guests were almost all here, Rong Ming called Rong Xiaomei to him after the dishes started to be served inside, and asked with a serious expression: "Little sister Rong! There was a banquet at home today, but you disappeared for several hours for no reason. , Mother is busy preparing dishes, and worried about your trace and safety, now tell me, what did you do after disappearing for so long?"

In the afternoon, when the people Rongshui sent again captured Rong Xiaomei, the banquet was already about to start. Li Shi, who had been anxious all day, saw tears on her face, and had prepared a full lesson. It was no longer useful, and when she asked her what was going on in the afternoon, she kept her mouth shut.

Mrs. Li was busy and had no choice but to complain after seeing Rong Ming close the fried chicken shop early and go home.

It was only then that Rong Ming knew that this ignorant third sister had troubles one after another during such an important day for the Rong family.

Miss Rong didn't know if she had connected with something in such a short period of time. In short, the thoughts in the girl's heart at the age of sentimentality are always repeated. One second, she figured out that she should get along with her family and listen to the second sister's words, and the next Miao can't help but complain about the harshness of the second sister and the unreasonableness of the elder brother.

Fortunately, when Rong Ming was furious, she didn't go back and forth again.

He just lowered his head to his chest and said, "Big Brother, Second Sister... I'm sorry, I won't do this again next time."

After speaking, regardless of the two people's reactions, they turned around and went back to the room on their own, but when Rong Ming was so angry that he wanted to hold her to ask again, Rong Shui held him back.

Shaking his head to stop Rong Ming's plan, he said: "Brother, little sister... If she doesn't want to say it, don't force it. You can see that she doesn't look good either."

Rong Ming thought for a while, shook his head and sighed.
