HCB Chapter 126 Mineral Lode
Chapter 126 Mineral Lode
The next evening, after dinner, my grandfather asked someone to bring the newly written contract. After dinner, my father went back to the study in the front yard early.
Wang Jinyi looked at the whole pile of deeds and felt tired just looking at them. When looking at the things written on the deeds, the two words "contract" popped up in Wang Jinyi's mind at an inappropriate time.
The mother held a pile of deeds, looked at her young daughter, sat beside her, and read to Wang Jinyi. She explained the meaning of each sentence for fear that the child might not understand. Finally, when Wang Jinyi was about to fall asleep, she finally heard the content that was related to herself.
It’s all about profit sharing, and my grandfather actually got a profit share for himself!
Although this matter still needs to be discussed with the clan in the end, Wang Jinyi still feels that his grandfather is really a good person who always keeps his word and fights for everything for him.
There was no colored pen cooperation project in this contract, and Wang Jinyi felt that this was a bargaining chip that could be kept for negotiation.
Hehehe... I was thinking about it happily in my heart.
The mother looked at her daughter who was smiling calculatingly and just shook her head lightly without saying a word.
In addition to studying these two days, my daughter has started writing a new manuscript. Qingyu has now replaced Wenbai and started recording stories for the young lady.
Wen Bai became a professional pen-making craftsman, working tirelessly every day. He wore a gray robe every day, and there was charcoal ash between his fingers that could not be washed off. The facial features became deeper and more three-dimensional.
The charcoal ash fell into the deep shadows on his face, making Wen Bai look indescribably desolate. The more shadows on his face, the older he looked.
Wang Jinlai became a professional assistant, and the two of them worked from morning to night. These days, he seemed to be studying the dye formula of colored pencils. He even took a special leave to visit the cosmetics shop.
After coming back, he discussed with Wang Jinyi, who came up with a novel and bold idea, which was mineral dyes.
So the two decided to go to the dyeing room again. Wang Jinyi only supported it and did not comment.
Wang Jinyi even felt that he had found a treasure, two geniuses in scientific research. Their enthusiasm for research was really touching, so Wang Jinyi decided to give Wen Bai the right to apply for activity funds.
Well, I must tell him tomorrow. I am sleepy today... The mother took her daughter back to the room. Wang Jinyi sat lazily on the brocade stool while the nurse prepared to bathe the young lady.
Mother went to look at the newly delivered contract on behalf of Wang Jinyi.
Something hit the rear window. Later, it was through the open front window that Wu Mei called out:
"Miss, Miss, I'm Wu Mei."
Wang Jinyi was no longer sleepy and woke up instantly.
Wu Mei has rested for five days. Something big must have happened when she came here so late at night. But how should I tell her?
"Nurse, it's too hot. Qingyu and I will go outside for a while. Please help me draw the bed curtains. It's too hot and stuffy."
"Miss, it's stuffy in the dog days, and it will get even hotter in the future. We are about to enter the third dog day. Just bear with it for a few days and it will be over..."
The nurse was still talking when Wang Jinyi pulled Qingyu out of the room. As soon as she got out of the room, Qingyu was so scared that she almost screamed. Wu Mei covered Qingyu's mouth and held her tightly.
Looking at Wu Mei, who was dressed in black and had a black cloth covering her face, Qingyu looked at the young lady in horror.
"Don't be afraid, it's Wu Mei, don't scream, I'll ask her to let go."
Wang Jinyi explained to Qingyu. Qingyu looked at the man in black, then at the young lady. Wu Mei nodded rapidly, and Qingyu also nodded silently. Wu Mei slowly loosened her hand.
"it's me."
This time Qingyu was sure that it was indeed Wu Mei who came to see the lady at night.
"Miss, I have something urgent to tell you."
Wang Jinyi took Wu Mei and sneaked to the grove in the backyard, whispering about their new discovery today. The two of them never expected that the guards from Feng Yi Team who were left behind to monitor Wang Jinyi happened to hear everything clearly.
After the master and servant exchanged information, Wu Mei wrote down what to do next according to Wang Jinyi's arrangements. Wu Mei sent the young lady to the door of the west room and then jumped over the wall and left.
Wang Jinyi was happy that she had finally made an important discovery, and she went back to her room to sleep peacefully.
When the guards of Feng Yi team heard the news, one of them stayed behind to continue monitoring the movements at No. 9 Yongxing Lane, while the other one returned to the west courtyard of the Wang family's backyard overnight to report the situation.
After hearing the report, the captain did not dare to delay and went straight to Wei Wuji to report.
At this time, Wei Wuji and Ouyang Wenche were getting acquainted with the officials in the court. This was the daily routine that Wei Wuji had arranged for him to do so that Ouyang Wenche would be fully aware of the affairs in the court.
Yunwu reports from outside the gate:
"Master, Mr. Wei, Feng Yi has something to report."
The two people who were arguing about the position of the left and right prime minister in the court stopped talking. Wei Wuji looked at Ouyang Wenche inquiringly. The young man nodded slightly. Wei Wuji called out,
"come in."
Feng Yi stepped into the house.
Although there were no guards in the room, Captain Feng Yi knew very well that there were at least two guards in the room, always by their master's side.
"Master, this is a serious matter. Can I only talk to you and Mr. Wei?"
Wei Wuji looked at Ouyang Wenche for his opinion, and Ouyang Wenche said directly:
"speak."
Feng has reported the news he just received to his master and Wei Wuji.
What Wu Mei said before was that she had originally asked Feng Jie to investigate the sales of the oil mill with her these few days, but the oil mill had almost no sales. No more than 5 people entered and left the store every day, and the amount of oil sold did not exceed 5 kilograms.
The people who were monitoring the house got tired of waiting every day, and even felt sleepy, but no guests came.
The Cao family's oil mill has trouble even maintaining its costs, let alone making money, yet the shop is still thriving.
Open and close on time every day.
After resting for a few days, the fifth sister went back to Cao's house with Sister Feng, but they didn't find anything. Today, the two of them searched separately. Sister Wu went into a dark courtyard next to the main courtyard.
She didn't expect to gain anything, but who would have thought that she would find two large boxes in a room. Out of curiosity, Wu Mei pried open the boxes and saw that they were filled with stones and soil.
Wu Mei thought it was very novel, so she brought some to the young lady to look at. She remembered that the young lady had said that if something was out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on.
He hurried to report to the young lady, but after Wang Jinyi took a look, what he said shocked the guards.
Ouyang Wenche asked:
"What did she say?"
Miss Wang said:
"There is cinnabar on top, and gold below. There is magnetite on top, and copper below. There is masonry on top, and lead and tin below. There is germanium on top, and iron below...
She suspected that the Cao family had discovered a mineral vein, but she was not sure, so she prepared to transport the ore to his master. So she packed two large boxes of stones and soil! "
Everyone in the room looked at each other. It was the first time that Ouyang Wenche heard such remarks and he did not quite believe them.
Wei Wuji was shocked after hearing the report.
This child who was said to be so miraculous by Ouyang Wenche and the guards with the prefix "Feng" in their names turned out to be quite miraculous.
"Master, what Miss Wang is talking about is Guanzi. Dishu, which mainly talks about how to determine underground mineral deposits.
What Miss Wang said is exactly what is recorded in the book..."
