Chapter 65 - 65. Message from My Young Master

Tian Erya had already understood, and grinned at Zheng Yide: "Second Master, I now understand why the wrought iron you heated can fuse with the steel sheet so quickly. It turned out that this borax was sprinkled on it."

Zheng Yide was so angry that it was Zheng Yuansheng who reminded the country girl.He yelled at his nephew: "Fourth brother, if you go out for me, you won't be able to help me, and you will only add to the chaos."

Zheng Yuansheng was very helpless when he drove him outside: "Second Uncle, Tian Erya has been here for a while, and sooner or later she will understand the trick."

"It's her business to be able to see clearly. People in the Zheng family can't tell outsiders. You are so good at reading, so don't use your brains on it."

Zheng Yuansheng was not angry when he was scolded, he just smiled and said, "Second Uncle, I know the secrets of blacksmithing, but I can't make good scissors like you! Tian Erya knows, it's okay."

Zheng Yide put on a serious face: "Can you compare with Tian Erya? She is an old blacksmith, and she knows everything."

"What old blacksmith? She's not as old as me!"

Zheng Yide stared: "She has been blacksmithing for longer than you, and she has put in a lot of effort here. Don't talk nonsense to me, and go quickly. Tian Erya, you go too."

Tian Erya reluctantly said: "Second Lord, I want to stay here for a while."

"No, according to the rules of the iron courtyard, the door is closed when it gets dark. Hurry up and leave."

Tian Erya had no choice but to go out.

After Zheng Yuansheng waited outside for her to come out, he asked, "Do you think scissors made of iron can't pass the inspection of the Armed Forces Academy?"

"Even if all the scissors made of iron are qualified, but iron is so expensive and rare. If your family uses all the scissors made of iron and hand them over to the Armed Forces Academy, you will lose a lot of money. And iron is expensive and rare. It's hard to find ingredients."

"Then what should we do?" Zheng Yuansheng also began to worry.

Tian Erya thought for a moment: "If you want me to say that you can't use betel iron. The scissors made of betel iron have sharp blades, but if they are too sharp, they will easily hurt people. If you use good stainless steel inlaid scissors, you should be satisfied five times." Court's request."

"I guess my dad thinks so too."

Tian Erya showed her white teeth with a smile: "If my thoughts can be consistent with your father's, it proves that my knowledge has improved. Haha! Impossible!"

Zheng Yuansheng saw her smiling happily, and his mood improved: "You have made great progress recently, and you have not learned in vain from Xia Tian."

"I don't know if I'm making progress or not. Anyway, I've met many times. After I get out, I can teach my brother and my father! Let them learn a few words."

"Aren't they illiterate?"

Tian Erya shook her head: "Of course I can't read, otherwise, I wouldn't be illiterate."

They are chatting.Xia Tian came over quickly: "Fourth young master, Miss Jiaqi's nanny, Nanny Li, is here to look for you."

Zheng Yuansheng's face changed: "Is Jiaqi going to be safe?"

Tian Erya opened her eyes angrily: "If his husband dares to beat him again, I will definitely see them get married this time, and make their house restless."

"Go and see first. Where is the man?"

"Wutong Garden." Xia Tian took Tian Erya and Zheng Yuansheng to Wutong Garden, and soon saw Jiaqi's nurse

Seeing them, Nanny Li walked in quickly and bowed: "Hello, Fourth Young Master, hello, Fourth Young Mistress."

Seeing her calm face, Tian Erya also smiled and said, "Mama, please don't call me Fourth Young Mistress. You know, that day, I was pretending to be husband and wife with Fourth Young Master, and I will leave after Miss Wu's return." Yes. Just call me by my name, Tian Erya."

Nanny Li nodded cheerfully: "Miss Tian is so refreshing. Miss Tian, ​​my uncle asked me to pass a message to you."

"I'll talk about it later." Tian Erya walked into the room: "You wait a moment. I'll get you a cup of tea."

"Miss Tian, ​​you're welcome."

"You come all the way, you have to moisten your throat first."

Zheng Yuansheng felt that she was considerate, so he extended his hand to invite: "Nurse, please come inside."

Nanny Li nodded with a smile. The fourth young master may not know that although he was polite and courteous to everyone before, he would still treat servants like them with the arrogance and alienation of the children of the family, and now he would treat her as a servant Say please.

Tian Erya poured a cup of tea for each of the three of them.

Zheng Yuansheng saw that Mammy took a big sip of tea, and then asked, "Mammy, what message did Chen Shizu ask you to pass on to us?"

"Oh! He said that there was something wrong with the cloth used by the government to test the scissors today."

Zheng Yuansheng took a look at Tian Erya, she was really expected.

Tian Erya hurriedly asked: "What's the problem?"

"Uncle said, he heard someone mention that the cloth that was cut for trial today has been soaked in oil, brushed with a layer of paste, and frozen."

Yaya suddenly realized: "No wonder! I said, why are those cloths so straight and shiny? That's how it is!"

Zheng Yuansheng thanked: "Nurse, thank you for your news, you helped us out of our urgent situation."

"I'm just running for an errand. Miss Jiaqi originally wanted to come, but she has to take care of the children, so she can only let me come for a while."

"Shizu has a heart, thank him on my behalf. The Zheng family didn't help him before. I didn't expect that when the Zheng family was in crisis, he would send charcoal in a timely manner. We are grateful."

Tian Erya said with emotion: "Yes! I slapped him three times, but he didn't make trouble, but helped us instead. It's really amazing and broad-minded."

Nanny Li smiled and said, "Miss Tian, ​​thanks to your three slaps, my uncle was woken up, and now he is very motivated, leaving early and returning late every day, pushing the cart to sell cloth."

"It's a good thing to be motivated, but don't say it's because I beat him, otherwise, he should bear a grudge against me."

"No, my uncle won't bear any grudges against you. The news about the trial-cut cloth was obtained after he spoke kindly to the former cloth merchant and spent a lot of time inquiring about it. If he really hated you in his heart, he would definitely not bother Try your best to inquire about this matter, and let the lady hurry up and tell you. You have to find a way to deal with it."

Zheng Yuansheng nodded: "Okay, thank you Mammy."

"I should go back, the lady is still waiting for me at home!"

"Thank you." Zheng Yuansheng watched her leave, and said to Tian Erya, "I have to tell my father the news."

"Hurry up! Let Mr. Zheng make up his mind earlier." Tian Erya was thoughtful.

"What are you thinking?"

Tian Erya was surprised that he was not in a hurry to leave, and said honestly: "I think the specifications of the cloth for trial cutting by the government are too high and unreasonable."

"Why is it unreasonable?"

"Master Zhou said that the scissors procured by the Armed Forces Institute were used in the war in the Northwest. The winter in the Northwest is cold, the soldiers bleed, and the cloth wrapping the wound may freeze. It is no problem to use the frozen cloth to test the scissors. Use the oil-soaked cloth to try the cut. Makes sense! It’s too much of a waste of oil.”

Zheng Yuansheng nodded: "I will tell my father what you found, and ask him to make a decision."

"Master Zheng is far-sighted, so he must have a solution." She turned to Xia Tian, ​​"What are we going to learn today?"

"I'll tell you a story about "Jing Ke's Assassination of the King of Qin", do you want to hear it?"

"Okay! It would be better if there are books to read and write."

Xia Tian took out a comic book from her arms: "How about reading through pictures?"

Tian Eryale's eyes narrowed into a slit: "That's great."

Zheng Yuansheng walked to the gate, looked back at her bright smile, and couldn't help but smile.

When he reported it to Zheng Zongde, Zheng Zongde frowned: "There is such a thing? Impossible?"
