Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 176

Wang Qingyun asked anxiously: "Uncle, what should we do? Once this kind of white sugar appears on the market, it will definitely have a huge impact on our sugar!"

"Sugar production is one of the pillar industries of our royal family, so nothing will happen to it! Therefore, we must obtain the secret recipe!" Wang Xuanzhi said solemnly.

Wang Qingyun said harshly: "Why don't we tie him up directly!"

"No!" Wang Xuanzhi and Wang Shengnan said in unison.

Wang Xuanzhi sighed: "Now Su Cheng is no longer a small person. His noble family is as high as the Duke of the county, his family is rich, his future son-in-law, and more than half of the court's important officials can cheer for him. Can you tie him up?"

"Remember, don't make such a bad move until the moment of life and death, because this world has its own rules, and you must act according to the rules. It's like playing chess. When you feel uncomfortable playing chess, you overturn the board and beat people. Who will play chess with you in the future?"

Wang Shengnan nodded quickly and said, "Yes, that's it!"

Wang Xuanzhi sighed: "One wrong step, wrong step, if you didn't offend Su Cheng to death at the beginning, but bought the secret recipe for spirits, then the secret recipe for cement, tea making, and now the secret recipe for sugar production will all be lost. We can cooperate!"

Wang Qingyun's complexion is very ugly, after all, I'm still to blame?At the beginning, Su Cheng was just a small county uncle, and he was not considered a figure in Chang'an City. Who would have thought that he could even beat the prince now!

"Come and visit first, the old man will meet him in person!" Wang Xuan knew.

Wang Qingyun felt a burst of pain in the flesh when he heard it. There is no doubt that Su Cheng would open his mouth like a lion.

More than a dozen guards on tall horses surrounded the carriage and slowly came to the gate of the mansion.

"Please inform me that the Taiyuan royal family members are here to visit!"

"What a coincidence, our father-in-law is not in the mansion, he went outside the city, and he doesn't know when he will come back." The concierge of the county mansion said very politely.

Wang Qingyun, who was riding on the horse, murmured, "Is it true or not? Could it be hiding on purpose?"

Wang Xuanzhi said calmly, "Calm down, come back tomorrow."

As a result, the concierge gave the same answer for several days in a row.

"Uncle, why is he not in the mansion? I think he is deliberately leaving us alone! It's really unreasonable!" Wang Qingyun yelled very dissatisfied.

Although Wang Xuanzhi's complexion was not good-looking, he said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter whether he is in the mansion or not, your hearts are already in chaos, aren't you?"

Wang Shengnan said: "What does uncle mean, he did it on purpose, just wanting us to become anxious?"

"You guys have indeed become anxious, haven't you? This person is very scheming!" Wang Xuanzhi said in a deep voice.

Su Cheng was indeed not in the mansion, he was busy with the congratulatory gifts for Empress Changsun's birthday, especially after Cheng Yaojin held a coral tree several feet high and spit in front of him, he was even more concerned.

Cheng Yaojin and his son patted their chests tremblingly, saying that none of the civil and military men in the Manchu Dynasty could come up with a more brilliant gift than their coral tree.

In ancient times, corals were indeed rare treasures, and the coral tree that Cheng Yaojin got by chance is colorful and gorgeous, which is really extraordinary.

This kind of rare treasure can be encountered but not sought, let alone Su Cheng only has less than a month, where can I search for this kind of rare treasure?

Su Cheng sighed very much in his heart, if only the glass hadn't been made out sooner, it would have been great, and now he just pulled a carriage of glass into the palace, all the eyes of the civil and military courts would stare out!

Thinking of glass, Su Cheng couldn't help thinking of mirrors.

Although the mirrors of later generations cost two yuan a side, they can definitely crush Cheng Yaojin's coral into scum when placed in Datang.

I just don't know if it's possible to make Empress Changsun scream.

Time was running out, so Su Cheng plunged into the great business of developing glass mirrors. As for sugar, he had already forgotten about it.

Heh, it was just a random gadget, he could guess that Wang Shengnan might be scared by his white sugar and toss and turn at night, but so what?

What does it have to do with me, Su Cheng, whether you, Wang Shengnan, sleep or not?

"Grandpa, this, this, the Jade Emperor's precious mirror is just like this! There is such a clear mirror in the world, and the methods of your grandfather are really unpredictable!"

The craftsman blushed while holding up the mirror, and was so excited that he almost couldn't move.

Su Cheng also let out a long sigh of relief. In order to coat the glass with this layer of silver, Su Cheng almost died of exhaustion.

Although he understands the principle in general, but with his half-baked chemistry knowledge, it's going to kill him.

Just using saltpeter to make nitric acid almost broke him.

Failed time and time again. Of course, what frightened Su Cheng the most was the danger. It was too dangerous to do these things under the current conditions.

However, seeing the dozens of mirrors made, Su Cheng was extremely satisfied.

Compared with the current bronze mirrors, such mirrors are more than worth thousands of gold!

"The frame should be made of rosewood, understand?" Su Cheng ordered.

"Grandpa, don't worry, only red sandalwood can match the glass mirror!" The craftsman promised repeatedly.

The mirror was finally made, and Su Cheng heaved a sigh of relief. He almost made a mistake. If the mirror couldn't be made, then he could only bite the bullet and write poetry.

Su Cheng, who was in a good mood, finally returned to the city.

Wang Xuanzhi and the others finally confirmed after waiting these days that Su Cheng was indeed not in the mansion, but went out of the city and went somewhere.

The guards of the Wang's family waited bitterly at the gate of the city, hoping and looking forward to finally bringing Su Cheng back to the city.

Su Cheng had just returned to the mansion and before he had time to dismount, the carriage of the Wang family in Taiyuan had already arrived.

Wang Xuanzhi, Wang Qingyun and Wang Shengnan all had dark circles under their eyes.

At first they were quite calm, thinking that Su Cheng was just putting on airs, but after waiting, even Wang Xuanzhi couldn't hold back anymore.

"My lord, those are from the Wang family in Taiyuan, they have visited many times!" the porter reported in a low voice.

Su Cheng smiled faintly after hearing this. Although he didn't care about Baitang, it didn't mean that the Taiyuan Wang family didn't care.

Sugar making is one of the pillar industries of the Taiyuan Wang family. It's no wonder they can sit still after seeing white sugar.

"Duke Ankang, this is my uncle, Wang Xuanzhi!" Wang Shengnan introduced.

Su Cheng cupped his hands slightly and said indifferently: "It turns out that he is an old man from the Wang clan in Taiyuan, and he has been admiring him for a long time!"

Wang Xuanzhi said with a smile: "I'm afraid the Duke has never heard of the old man, but the old man has really admired the Duke for a long time, and I have wanted to visit him for a long time, but it is really difficult to see the Duke!"

"I've been busy recently. I didn't know that the elders of the clan would come to visit, otherwise I would have swept the bed early to welcome them!" Su Cheng laughed.

It's strange if you don't know it will come, you simply hid out early!Wang Shengnan was very upset.

"Your Majesty is polite." Wang Xuanzhi smiled slightly, cupping his hands.

"Clan elders come, our mansion is full of splendor, please come inside!"
