Disgusting husband cultivates virtuous

Chapter 149 Computation
In the evening, everyone went to Fuqingyuan for dinner, and Mrs. Zhang rushed back.Zhang's eyes were red and swollen, and his complexion was extremely bad. Brother Ping also seemed to have cried.

Xie Xian'er secretly thought, that Mrs. Liu is really speechless, it is filial piety for her daughter-in-law and grandson to visit her, she should greet them well.But looking at the appearance of the mother and son, they must have been scolded, probably quite harshly.Fortunately, I didn't make a fool of myself to find anger.The original Liu is not so stupid, it seems that people's state of mind will also change when the environment changes.

Moreover, the Liu family can be regarded as a foreign family, so they should be kept for a meal no matter what.He didn't do this superficial effort, it seems that he is extremely dissatisfied with Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Ma glanced at their mother and son and asked, "Did you get scolded?" Seeing Mrs. Zhang didn't say anything, Brother Ping lowered his head and pursed his mouth, trying to cry or not.He also said, "I was scolded this time, but next time it will be fine. Without that idea, my mind will be more peaceful."

The old lady didn't say it clearly, and everyone present could hear what she meant.Ma Guogong and Ma Silang blushed instantly, but Ma Erlang looked normal, as if Liu's embarrassment had nothing to do with him.

The family had just sat down in the restaurant in the west wing, and before the dishes were ready, people from the outer courtyard rushed in to spread the word that the servants from the palace had arrived, and that the emperor had something urgent to announce that Duke Ma would enter the palace.When Ma Guogong heard this, he didn't care about eating, so he got up and left.

Seeing this situation, everyone guessed that it might be related to the battle ahead.Grandma was in a bad mood at first, but at this time she missed Uncle Ma even more, and couldn't help but shed tears.The old lady asked someone to scoop up a bowl of hermit's soup with ginseng, polygonatum, and old duck. No matter how uncomfortable Zhang was, she had to drink this bowl of "reward".

Everyone ate hastily, and the old lady was also heartbroken, so she waved her hand and let them all disperse.

Back at the Jiange, the Taiji monkey stood anxiously under the cabinet of the enlarged jujube, meowing.

Xie Xian'er yelled at it, "Look at how greedy you are." She still went to open the cabinet, took out the jujubes, shared one with each person, and Tai Chi even picked the biggest one.

While eating the dates, Xie Xian'er told them what gifts Sister Xiong gave them.Ma Erye is really different, he is not interested in the ginseng and ganoderma lucidum that Xie Xianer talked about so brightly, he only wants to look at those two stones.

Xie Xian'er wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and went to take out the box containing the stones.Ma Erlang looked carefully at the stone under the candle, weighed it again, and left the east side room.Seeing his serious look, Xie Xian'er also followed out, and saw him take down the ax made of jade and iron from the wall.He came to the eaves, put the stone on the ground, and split it hard with an axe. One stone was split into two pieces, and there were some black residues.

Xie Xian'er saw that the stone was so easy to avoid, it must not be a gemstone such as jade, emerald, diamond, etc., and she was still a little disappointed.Ma Erlang picked up the stone and looked at the glazed lamp under the eaves, and said excitedly, "This stone looks like coal. Could there be coal near the capital?"

The ancients called coal coal as coal.Charcoal was a treasure in ancient times, and it was jokingly called black gold.

Xie Xian'er's heart moved when she heard this, she bent down and picked up another piece of rock to look at. It was indeed familiar, like coal that had been burned in a previous life.It's just that there was a layer of dirt on the outside, so she didn't recognize it first.She had heard from Ma Erlang more than once that there was coal in the Great Xia Dynasty, but because the amount was small and it was not easy to mine, it was only used for court iron smelting or for the imperial palace.Except for the palace, even the palace is not qualified to use.And, so far, no coal mines have been discovered or mined by private individuals.

Ma Erlang took Xie Xian'er to the kitchen in the backyard again, the fire on the stove was burning brightly, and the mother-in-law was boiling bath water for them.

Ma Erlang threw half of the stone into the stove, saw that the stone was burning, and pulled the stone out with a stick.The stone continued to burn, watching it burn for a while, Ma Erlang put out the fire with water again.Then I squeezed the stone with my hands, and there was a layer of black residue on my hands.

He rubbed his fingers and said, "This charcoal is better than anything I've seen, with less smoke and a strong fire."

Xie Xian'er was also a little excited when she heard that, Jade Iron can't make steel now, mainly because of the fuel problem.If there is coal, you can find a way to make coke, and it will be much easier to make steel.The unit where she worked in her previous life had a coke oven, and she knew how to make coke from raw coal.

The two returned to the upper room excitedly, Second Master Ma continued to study with stones on the kang, while Xie Xianer led the two children to the east room to rest.

When Xie Xian'er finished her work and went back to the east side room, Second Master Ma sent the girls away thoughtfully, and discussed with her in a low voice, "Oh, girl, take me to find that big bear blind man another day, let him Lead us to see where this stone was picked up."

Xie Xian'er said, "If we found it in the outskirts of the wild forest, we would still dare to take a look. If it was in the depths of the wild forest, would the second master dare to go in?"

Ma Erye said, "That's true." After thinking for a while, he said, "Where there is coal, generally the coal should be widely distributed. Even if Xiong Xiazi picked it up in the deep wild forest, there may be it in shallow places. Let's I'd better go and have a look, and if there is coal, report it to the court. This thing is a treasure, just like salt and iron, and private mining is not allowed."

Xie Xian'er was very disappointed when she heard that, private mining was not allowed, so why did she work so hard?

Second Master Ma saw Xie Xian'er's depression, so he didn't make a sound.So I gave her a patriotic education class, "Although we can't mine by ourselves, mining by the court can benefit the country and the people. As long as it is beneficial to the country and the people, it is a great thing. The ancients said: Take a long breath to cover your tears Xi, mourning for the hardships of the people's lives. Chang Si sacrificed himself for the country's urgent needs..."

Xie Xian'er ignored Ma's second child who started to commit another crime.She wondered, how could she make coke without raw coal?If she can't make coke, how can she make good steel?He poked his long mouth up and thought about what to do.

The second master Ma also talked about the big truth for a long time, but he ignored the young daughter-in-law and just pouted his mouth to think about his thoughts.He persuaded again, "Girl, no, don't be so short-sighted. In the first half of the year, I discovered an iron mine with Mr. Cao from the Ministry of Industry, and I hope to be promoted to a higher level next year. If I discover another coal mine, maybe I can have another benefit."

Xie Xian'er looked at Second Master Ma, and suddenly felt concerned.If this is the case, not only can he get what he wants, but also let Ma Laoer make great contributions.

Then he whispered his thoughts in his ear.Second Master Ma was taken aback, extremely surprised.He stammered and asked, "Also, is there such a way? This, can this work? You, how do you know you can do this?"

Xie Xian'er answered irrelevantly, "Did you really think that at the Peach Blossom Banquet in March, I fell in love with your fourth brother and jumped on him with a pole?"
