Chapter 104 Iron Furnace
When she returned to the kitchen, Mrs. Tan said this to Mi.
"Although this child is born noble, he is also pitiful and well-behaved. I also like him very much. In the past six months, he has been like his own child."
If Zhu Kuang heard his mother's words, he would complain, and wouldn't he raise her like a child?
Sometimes, he felt that his mother might have forgotten who his own son, and he was much closer to the boy Zhu Shanyan than to him.
"Look, is the prince interested in Yingniang?" asked Mrs. Tan.
"That won't be. I've been playing together for a long time, like my brother and my sister..." As he said this, Mi Shi couldn't continue.
Something seems wrong. After all, Ying Niang is also a big girl. She is always like the prince. Their own family knows it and does not make random guesses, but others will definitely not think so when they see it.
In the future, you must separate the two people.
"Actually, I think it would be great if Ying Niang could betrothed by the prince, and she would be the best in the future." Mrs. Tan said in a low voice.
After all, there were other people in the kitchen, and it was not good to hear her, so her voice was only enough for two people to hear it.
"You can't talk nonsense. What kind of place is the royal palace? Can people like us children?"
It’s good to be a prince, but he is not a good match, at least he is not a good match for Yingniang.
"I heard that the grandmother concubine and grandmother concubine are both from ordinary families, so they will be the concubines in the palace in the future. Maybe there is not so much attention in the royal palace."
"This is definitely not possible. I know my daughter's personality. In the future, I will think that I can find her a family with a good match, or even a family with a little worse condition. As long as the young man is good, she will be able to live a life when she is dowrying for her in the future."
A shop to do a dowry? This is really a big deal, and Mrs. Tan couldn't help but be amazed.
"You are really willing to let it go, aren't you afraid that Brother Kuang has any objections?"
"I haven't discussed it with Kuang'er yet, but Kuang'er loves this sister, and I think he will agree. Although my daughter is a bit wild, she is also an excellent child. She has helped me a lot in those two years. Even now, the shop mainly depends on her."
Mi Shi was not worried that Zhu Kuang would disagree. He estimated that Zhu Kuang would agree if he said that if he would give the restaurant to Yingniang as a dowry, Zhu Kuang would agree.
She is very lucky in her life. Although a man is a bad person, she has used any money to help her tribe members on weekdays, but she has never been angry. Now her children can be filial, so what else is there to be dissatisfied with?
Mrs. Tan also laughed.
However, Mrs. Tan's heart was alive. Since she wanted to find a good family and had a bad family condition, it wouldn't matter if her son had a chance, so would her son have a chance?
Mrs. Tan’s eldest son is the same age as Ying Niang. The boy is a little bit young at this age, but Ying Niang is still mourning and has to wait for a year or two. At that time, her son should be kissed.
But will others say that they are greedy for their own greed?
But Yingniang is such a good girl. If his son can marry him, it would be considered a high-spirited person.
Forget it, don't think about it now, and wait and see it.
Mrs. Tan also knew that now that Zhu Kuang has become an official, Ying Niang’s identity is different. She is considered a lady from the official family. Her son is really not worthy of it. If Mi Shi hadn’t said this, she wouldn’t have dared to think of this if she had been beaten to death.
At night, Lord Yang and others joined hands. Zhu Kuang went out to greet him and then gave him to the house.
As soon as he entered the main hall, Master Du exclaimed, attracting everyone's attention.
"What did Master discover again?" Lord Yang asked curiously.
"Sir, look, this--" Master Du said, pointing to a local iron lump.
I saw a square iron lump in the middle of the room, with four legs underneath, and a layer on the top, which was smooth and smooth. There was also a copper kettle above the surface. The water in the kettle was steaming, and it was wispy, so that the person who had just entered the door could feel the warmth instantly.
After looking closely, there was a cylindrical tube next to the iron lump, which went straight to the outside of the house.
Yang Minglian took two steps forward, but felt that the iron block was emitting heat, which made him who had just come in from outside feel a wave of heat coming to his face.
"What is this? I haven't seen it before!" Eunuch Chen also asked curiously.
He came out of the palace and had never seen anything good, but he had never seen iron lumps that would cause heat.
"When Eunuch Chen said, this thing is called an iron furnace, which is used to keep warm in winter." Zhu Kuang said, lifting the kettle up and showing it to several people.
But I saw a flame burning in the middle of the iron lump.
"Iron furnace? This is a good thing, better than a fire basin." Eunuch Chen said with praise: "The palace uses earth dragons to keep heating, but we who are servants can only use a fire basin to keep heating, which is not as clean as yours. It can also burn hot water."
Lan County is really a good place, and every time I come, I can see something fresh.
Seeing that he was about to leave the palace, he used to look down on the elderly in Lan County, but now he thinks that it is good to come to Lan County to retire.
"Zhu Kuan, this is also what you did? This is yours. You actually hide your own good things like this." Lord Yang said with a deliberate face.
"My lord is wronged. It's not that I hide my own private affairs, but that I have obtained less iron, only enough to make three iron furnaces."
He wanted to do more, but what could he do without iron? In this era, the control of iron is much stricter than in later generations. If he raised more iron, he would not know whether it would attract people's attention. He doubted whether he planned to build weapons to rebel.
This is not a false statement. This is an era when more than a dozen armors can rebel, which is very different from later generations.
Lord Yang didn’t know what Zhu Kuang said was the truth.
"There are still some iron in this county. In this way, I will get some iron for you when I turn around. You can also make a set of iron for the county and a set of master. Lord Xiang, can you raise your own iron, right?"
"Yes, there is just some iron in Xiaguan's house, but I don't know whether it is necessary to use it or not. If it is necessary, I will ask Lord Zhu."
"As long as there is iron, it's fine." Zhu Kuang agreed immediately, but he just asked someone to help him do it, not himself.
"What a pity, I can't bring such a good thing to the capital." Eunuch Chen expressed his regret.
He is in the palace every day. Not to mention that he can't get it in, he just goes in. There is no secret in that place. I guess the whole palace will know about it later. So let's bear it!
"Old brother can come to Lan County for retirement, and then you can enjoy the stove." Lord Yang said again.
This time, Eunuch Chen did not directly object, but fell silent!
