Chapter 591: Having Fun
Therefore, the game is very exciting, very interesting and full of suspense. Therefore, every day, in a fixed river, there will be people shouting and competing together.
Many young men from aristocratic families who came from the capital would call their friends to go on the ice and compete with each other.
The loser had to pay for the dinner, and it was very lively. The business of Baiweilou improved a lot without anyone noticing.
Of course, there would be a lot of people watching and cheering on the shore. Rong Jin also went to watch with Hua Lei and Zhen Zhu.
Hualei was very envious of the children who were walking freely on the ice. In her previous life, she was a southerner and rarely felt such happiness.
When I was a tour guide, I did go to the Ice and Snow World before, but after going there a few times, I rarely went there myself.
After arriving here, there is even less chance. If I wasn't pregnant now, Hualei would try this happiness again no matter what.
Pearl on the side was even more eager to make a move, but she was also sealed by the baby in her belly, so she could only watch obediently on the shore.
However, Rong Jin, Rong Yu and Jiang Yunqi were called to play several times. They won and lost. When they lost, they went to the restaurant to eat, and when they won, they also went to the restaurant to eat. They had a lot of fun every time.
They had a great time. In the Marquis' Mansion in Shangjing City, Old Marquis Pei was also beaming with joy as he looked at the letter he had just received.
"Grandma Jin'er, tell me, how come Lei'er is so smart? How did she come up with the idea of using tung oil to make oilcloth?
I've only seen tung oil used to make oil paper before, but I never thought that tung oil could be used to make oilcloth? If I tell His Majesty about this, I guarantee he will be very pleased again. "Mr. Pei said happily.
"However, Lei'er is too stingy. Look at her. She asked me to hand over the production method of oilcloth to His Majesty.
But she had used up all the tung oil and only had two barrels left. All the finished oilcloth was sent to Mobei, and only one piece was left at the farm. What should I say? Go empty-handed?
"Don't be so ungrateful. Lei'er is trying to gain credit for the Marquis's Mansion. What else are you dissatisfied with? If you don't want to, I'll let the third brother talk to the emperor."
Madam Pei glanced at her husband and said with a smile, "What do you mean you're going empty-handed? Don't we have a piece of oilcloth? How much more do you want? The Tung Oil Department should have it. It doesn't matter if you don't take it."
"Since you've got it, take it all. What if the Ministry of Industry runs out of it? But there are only two and a half barrels of tung oil left, which is not enough to use for a piece of cloth for the experiment.
If I hand over the tung oil used to make oilcloth, His Majesty will definitely ask the Ministry of Industry to try making a batch of oilcloth with tung oil to see the effect." Lord Pei flipped through the letter paper in his hand.
"If you don't leave much tung oil for me, then at least leave me some more oilcloth? The finished oilcloth can be made into raincoats, tents and so on. This way, His Majesty can see it more intuitively and it will please Him more!" Old Marquis Pei said with emotion.
"You wouldn't say that Lei'er was worried about the quality of the oilcloth, so she asked the people in the farm to send it for quality inspection.
As for the oilcloth raincoat, you can go to Lei'er's farm and get a few sets made last year. Wouldn't that be more convincing? The raincoat made last year is still intact this year, which further proves the benefits of the oilcloth.
If His Majesty really thinks it's too little, then he can write another letter and ask Lei'er to send some back. You know Lei'er's personality, she has always been cautious and considerate.
She must be worried that if she is not in the capital, the people below might be careless and produce tung oil and oilcloth that are not up to standard. If you don't know how to distinguish them and directly submit the poorly made tung oil and oilcloth, wouldn't that cause trouble for you and the Marquis' Mansion?"
Mrs. Pei smoothed the needle in her hair and started to fiddle with the tiger-head shoes in her hand. However, she was not good at craftsmanship, and her eyes were presbyopic, so the tiger-head shoes were not very good.
"What you said seems to make sense! This is indeed very likely what Lei'er is thinking, and you know Lei'er better. Then I will say it according to this line of thought." Old Marquis Pei stroked his beard and nodded. After a pause, he continued.
"Jin'er's grandmother, Lei'er is pregnant now, I wonder how she is doing? The Marquis's huge pile of affairs in Mobei is now all on her shoulders, plus the affairs in the government office, I'm really worried that she will be overwhelmed and exhausted.
Alas, the second son's wife is weak, so I won't say anything. I didn't expect Yu'er's wife to be stupid. Not only can she not help Lei'er, but she also hinders Lei'er. It's really annoying. "Old Marquis Pei sighed heavily.
"Alas! At the beginning, I said that Yu'er's wife was a concubine's daughter and had poor upbringing. However, the eldest daughter-in-law thought that the other party had a good family background and could raise Yu'er in the future. She insisted on going against me. What could I do?
She always thinks I can't stand her. Forget it, I can't care so much. It's a pity, Lei'er has worked hard. "Mrs. Pei put down the tiger-head shoes in her hand and sighed.
"Tell me, if I take this opportunity to hand over the oilcloth and ask for mercy from His Majesty, can His Majesty keep Lei'er's official position and give her a year's leave?"
Lord Pei put down the teacup in his hand and hesitated. After a pause, he asked again, "Do you think Lei'er will be unhappy if I do this?
In fact, she didn't have to earn the monthly salary of more than ten taels of silver. She had money to spend.
Even if His Majesty really asked her to resign and go home, then she should just go home. Wouldn't it be good to be a young lady in the Marquis's mansion comfortably?
Her ability to make money is incomparable to the salary of more than ten taels a month. She no longer needs to rely on this official position to protect herself. The Marquis's Mansion is her backer. "Old Marquis Pei shook his head.
"Lei'er didn't elaborate on this in the letter, so don't bother adding unnecessary details to Lei'er's story. I think Lei'er and Jin'er must have discussed this.
Moreover, Lei'er also knows how to prioritize. If her body really can't take it anymore, she will definitely take a rest.
I was thinking, should I find a few more people to send the letter to Lei'er? When I received the letter earlier, I was busy sending things to her and forgot to send people.
I wonder if Lei'er received the things we sent over?" Old Madam Pei rubbed her presbyopic eyes. After a pause, she continued.
"We can't do anything for Lei'er now in Mobei, so you should just do what she asks you to do and don't hold her back.
Also, you should keep an eye on Lei'er's farms and shops, and don't let those who are blind enough to mess with them. You should also take care of Xiaoyuan more." Old Madam Pei advised.
