A Blessed Daughter Chapter 474

  Chapter 474 Mr. Lu passed his birthday

  Wei Ruo had an identical stove like this in Mojiazha, Huzhou Prefecture, just behind the house where she lived at the time.

  Wei Ruo doesn't use it often, but when he needs it, Wei Ruo feels inconvenient without it, so Wei Ruo chose such a place in the suburbs of Beijing.

  The last time Wei Ruo made the armor for Xu Zhengyong and Wei Mingting used the steel she smelted when she was in Mojiazha.

   Now that steel has been used up, now she has to use this new furnace to make it if she wants to.

   On the first day of February, she came to Long'an Temple to offer incense in order to choose a place to build this stove.

  Now the furnace is ready for firing, and Lao Tao has brought her iron ore and coal, and the next step is to calcine.

  Wei Ruo inspected carefully, and nodded in satisfaction after confirming that both furnaces were working effectively.

  "It's well done, it's almost the same as what I depicted in the drawings, and a few details are in place."

   "Young Master Xu, you have drawn so detailedly and explained it to us so many times. If you can't do it well, I will be really sorry for you, Young Master Xu." Shi Dayou said.

Immediately afterwards, Shi Dayou asked Wei Ruo: "It's just that I don't understand something, Mr. Xu. Since iron ore is going to be turned into iron, why don't you just burn the blast furnace on the left? Why do you need to burn the coal first?" once?"

   "Because the coal tar after coal coking is of great use to me, it is a good thing that cannot be found elsewhere." Wei Ruo replied.

   "I see, Mr. Xu, you know a lot! I am relatively stupid, so please don't dislike me, Mr. Xu."

   "It's okay, just ask me if you don't understand."

  Hearing this, Shi Dayou simply asked all the doubts in his heart: "My lord, these two furnaces are built small, and the speed of calcination is not fast, is it okay?"

   "That's it, I don't need to pursue speed, what I need is high-quality steel, and quality assurance is the top priority." Wei Ruo said to Shi Dayou.

  This furnace is the same as the one she has in Mojiazha, it is not big, and the amount of steel and coal tar it can produce at one time is not large, but Wei Ruoben has no plan to mass-produce these things.

   "Okay, Mr. Xu, don't worry, we will follow what you say! We will never be lazy and save work!" Shi Dayou assured.

   "After the forging is successful, I will ask Meimei to come and pick it up. I am useful." Wei Ruo said.

"good."

   "The brimstone that the young master asked us to buy, is it just left there?"

   "Leave it alone, as long as it doesn't get wet. I'll come and use it when I need it."

"good."

  Wei Ruo finished her busy work and left. On the way, Xiumei asked Wei Ruo: "Miss, what do you plan to use the steel you smelted this time?"

   "Make a sword for the second brother." Wei Ruo replied.

  She was sitting in the carriage, with her back leaning on the soft cushion, flipping through the account books in her hands while answering the questions of Xiumei who was driving ahead.

   "Miss, you still care about the prince."

"Who told me to be on the same boat with him? He is living well and I am living well. If he wants to do something, I have to bother to save him? Give him a good sword for self-defense and hope he will not be in danger , but also to protect myself." Wei Ruo said.

   "Miss is right!" Xiumei agreed.

   On May 20th, the old man of the Lu family celebrated his 70th birthday.

  The old man of the Lu family has fought in the battlefield for many years and has a high status.

  Back then, the old man and Xu Guogong were called Nan Lu Bei Xu. Now that the Xu family is long gone, the Lu family is still beautiful. Although the old man has no position, the government and the public still respect him very much.

  Therefore, when Mr. Lu celebrated his birthday this time, all the dignitaries in the capital came to congratulate him, and everyone felt proud to be invited by the Lu family.

  The Wei family was also invited this time, not only Wei Mingting and Yun's from the third room were invited, but the second room from the eldest room also received invitation letters.

   This made Mrs. Bai overjoyed and in a good mood.

   Received the invitation letter from the Lu family, which shows that the status of their Wei family is already extraordinary.

  Before going out, Mrs. Bai carefully dressed up, took out all her hair from the bottom of the box, and dressed herself up gracefully and luxuriously.

  Wei Mingyong reminded her: "Be careful. I don't have an official position. When I go to the Lu family, you must be the one with the lowest status among the wives. Don't be presumptuous. You must be cautious in your words and deeds."

  Wearing that, Bai snorted unhappily, and then said: "You're still ashamed to say, but if you work harder, I won't be in such a miserable situation."

   "Just be content. Your natal family is in business. If you hadn't married me, would you have been able to attend this kind of banquet? Let's talk about the later things slowly. There will always be a day when you will become famous."

  For the future, Wei Mingyong is full of confidence, and feels that the day of success is not far away.

   "Now that you know, you should be careful yourself. Whenever you find an opportunity, get close to those high-ranking officials. Maybe one day the official hat will fall on your head." Bai told Wei Mingyong.

   "Don't worry, I'm much smarter than my silly brother, and I won't miss this opportunity for nothing." Wei Mingyong said.

  The husband and wife have already made up their minds. It is rare to have such a banquet, so they must perform well.

  Wei Qingwan sat in front of the dressing table and asked Cuihe to dress her up carefully.

   She was not very satisfied with changing two buns in a row.

   "Miss, how about this bun?" Cui He combed Wei Qingwan into another peach heart bun.

  This bun looks playful and lively, and it can make unmarried girls more agile and charming.

  Wei Qingwan frowned, still not very satisfied: "Change another one."

   Cui He had to rethink her hairstyle.

   "Miss, you have already changed all the hairstyles that are popular nowadays, can you tell the servant what kind of hair you want?" Cui He asked cautiously.

   "Don't be too common, and at the same time match the temperament of an unmarried woman. Don't be frivolous, but look more dignified." Wei Qingwan said.

   "This... is a bit difficult, I will try my best."

   "It's still early, you should try more. It is possible to meet His Royal Highness King Yu today. When we meet for the first time, we need to make a good impression on him." Wei Qingwan said.

   "The servant understands."

  Cuihe changed Wei Qingwan's buns a few more times, and finally Wei Qingwan chose the hanging bun. This kind of bun not only has the spirit of a girl, but also makes her delicate and gentle.

  As for the accessories, Wei Qingwan didn't have many choices, and only decorated with a hosta.

  Finally, Wei Qingwan put on a dress that was newly made this year, light yellow satin material, embroidered with golden flowers, and a jade sachet around her waist.

   Wei Qingwan looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and was quite satisfied with this outfit.

Cui He praised from the side: "Miss, you are really a natural beauty. You are so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off with a little dressing up. Today, after cleaning up carefully today, I feel pity for you. Don't say His Royal Highness Yu Wang. Yes, even a servant girl like me feels pity for her when she sees her."
