Su Jin had suffered from a bit of cold in the past two days, and his nose was a little stuffy, and his breathing became a lot heavier.This is human nature, but it is disrespectful in front of the imperial court.

Fortunately, he has been with Chu Jun for a long time, His Majesty will not punish him for these trivial matters.

But today is a bit different, Su Jin deliberately suppressed his breath, so as not to make any noise that he shouldn't have.Because he noticed that Chu Jun seemed a little unhappy.

He talked less than usual, and he didn't scold Rory when he saw that he didn't agree with it, and put it aside coldly.

The situation in Japan and North Korea and China is quite satisfactory, and there is nothing to be angry about.

Jin Hejian has done a good job of preventing the cold this winter, His Majesty is still very happy, and ordered people to visit and investigate.It should be said that there is nothing wrong with it, why are you unhappy?

Su Jin couldn't think of a reason, but he was more careful when serving.

After Chu Jun finished approving the memorial, it was time to take a nap.

"Your Majesty, do you want to take a lunch break today?" Seeing him stop, Su Jin came over and asked.

Chu Jun pondered for a moment: "Never stop."

Su Jin should be, and asked someone to bring a new book.But turning around, Chu Jun stopped shouting again and said, "I'm going to sleep for a while."

After Chu Jun finished speaking, he went to the bedroom, Su Jin hurriedly grabbed his whisk to follow, and the other servants also trotted to follow.

After Ruan Zheng and others visited Xiaoguo County, they went to Jinhe Supervisor without stopping.

After looking at the coal mine in the original Heishi Six Village, they finally arrived at their final destination——Jinhejian.

Just like when they went to Xiaoguo County before, they also sent someone to summon them before they arrived, but when they arrived at the gate of the supervisor's mansion, they only saw two teeth, and not even a clerk from the yamen came out to greet them.

When Gu Lan saw this scene, her heart skipped a beat.

Although Mr. Tong's rank is high, these are all six officials from Beijing. If they don't take good care of them, it is not impossible to go back and join him.He hurriedly smoothed things over and said: "Master Tong may not be able to get away for a while, all adults will follow me in and have a sip of hot tea."

Ruan Zheng knew Tong Ran well, knew that he was not a child, and had no objection to Gu Lan's words, so he went in directly.

Shen Xi also knew Tong Ran, so he had no objection either.

Wu Huan had never met Tong Ran before, so he couldn't help feeling that he was a little arrogant, but Ruan Zheng and Shen Xi didn't say anything, so he had no choice but to follow him in.

Unexpectedly, after Gu Lan brought a group of people in, the hot tea was served quickly, but Tong Ran was not in the yamen.

"Your Excellency has been in the smelting workshop for the past few days, and rarely returns to the Yamen." The little official who came to serve tea looked back with his head down.This room is full of Beijing officials, and the officials in the place where he is alone are really terrified.

"Understood." Gu Lan waved him away, and was about to speak, but someone broke in again.

Dongqing rushed in and ran a few steps before seeing that the hall was full of people, but he didn't recognize anyone, and hurriedly said: "Dongqing didn't know there was someone in the room, and I disturbed all the adults. I don't know...you can see a tiger Cub came in."

Gu Lan frowned, this young man doesn't look like a man from the government office, he should be asking about Tong Ran's tiger, it should be Tong Ran's servant, it's too ignorant to break in so recklessly up.

Ruan Zheng also understood that what he was looking for was Tong Ran's tiger. The young man was sweating on his forehead and his chest heaved continuously. He seemed to be running, and he was probably very anxious.He said, "I've never seen it before."

After getting the answer, Dongqing saluted again and thanked her, then turned and left.

In the past two days, Tong Ran seldom went back to the yamen, and he always followed the little tiger.Just now when the little tiger was sleeping, he went to arrange some other things in the yard, and when he came back, there was not even a tiger shadow in the house.

Dongqing was in a hurry at that time, and called the boys in the yard together, searched inside and outside the main yard, and then went to the courtyard in the northwest corner, but there was no sign of the little tiger anywhere.Dongqing had no choice, so she went to some other courtyards, and finally found the main hall.

He has searched all over the yamen, but he can't find the little tiger anywhere, Dongqing was so anxious that she cried.

He stood blankly in front of the main hall when You Yang happened to come over and recognized him as the steward of Tong Ran's yard, so he asked a question by the way.

Dongqing said: "Master Tiger is gone, I'll come out to look for him."

You Yang is still very unaccustomed to the title of Master Tiger. It is also an anecdote that a little tiger cub lives more delicately than the emperor.But he still said: "I saw it a while ago, and went outside along the roof."

"Which direction?" Holly asked anxiously, wiping away tears.

You Yang was taken aback for a moment, he probably didn't expect Dongqing to be so caring, he pointed in the direction of the smelting workshop and said, "I seem to have gone there."

"Thank you." Before Dongqing finished speaking, she had already run out.

You Yang shook his head and walked towards the main hall.

He came at the right time, Gu Lan was already at the end of his rope, and when he appeared, he seemed like a magic weapon from heaven.

You Yang greeted the Chu people in the hall unhurriedly. These people all knew that he was the imperial bodyguard, and no one dared to neglect him, so they also saluted one after another.After the ceremony, You Yang said: "My lords, Master Tong is in the smelting workshop, please follow me and move down."

You Yang led those people out of the yamen, one or two bicycles sped past, and the one on top was Dongqing.

"Bicycle!" Shen Xi said, and then asked You Yang, "Your yamen?"

You Yang: "Yes."

Shen Xi: "Is there any more? Is it convenient for me to try?"

You Yang thought about it, there are two bicycles in the yamen, one is for Tong Ran, and it is in the smelting workshop at the moment, and the other Dongqing rode away, probably to find a tiger, there must be no spare bicycles in the yamen now.Sui said: "No."

Shen Xi's tall figure seemed to wilt for a moment, and he said listlessly: "Okay, let's take it to the smelting workshop." Without riding a bicycle, he was not even interested in the smelting workshop.

On the way to the smelter, you will pass the miners' residential area, which has also been completely new.

Gu Lan has not been back for a long time. He was either in Ding County or a coal mine before, and it was the first time he saw the remodeled residential area.

It turns out that the houses here are uneven, with thatched roofs and tiled roofs. Some have only one floor, and some have an attic on top.Every room looks crumbling, and when it is windy and rainy outside, there is also light wind and light rain inside, which is not very comfortable.

Now all these materials have been dismantled, and a row of concrete houses have been built in a unified manner. The houses are connected to each other, and there is a small courtyard with a cement floor in front of each room.It was time to go to work, and there were children playing in the yard, and some daughters-in-law were drying clothes and doing needlework in the yard, and they were very leisurely.

Gu Lan had heard about the renovation of the residential area, but she didn't expect Tong Ran to make such a thorough renovation.

Before the renovation, due to the poor environment and constant conflicts among neighbors, every time I came here, I could see women swearing at the street.This is the first time Gu Lan has seen such a peaceful and leisurely life scene.

After passing through the residential area, they saw the smoke billowing from the kitchen.

No, those huge chimneys are by no means like the smoke pouring from the kitchen roof.

"What is that?" Ruan Zheng asked Gu Lan.

"It should be the smoke from the iron furnace." Gu Lan hasn't come back for a long time. When he came last time, the chimney here was not so high.

You Yang was there all the time, and said clearly: "Master Tong said that the chimney should be higher, so that the smoke can be discharged far, otherwise the neighborhood will be full of smog." The original chimney here is only half as high as it is now, and a lot of smoke lingers in this area , the smell is very bad, now that the chimney is built higher, it is much better.

"I see." Ruan Zheng nodded.

You Yang led them inside, and went straight into the innermost big iron-making room.

When Ruan Zheng and others entered, the fan inside started to run, and the workers were shoveling coal to the furnace mouth of the fan.

"What is this?" Shen Xi said, already taking two steps around Feng Pai.He has seen the fan exhaust in the smelting workshop, which is used to supply oxygen to the furnace, and its principle is the same as that they use cattail fans to fan the wind when they light a fire.However, the air exhaust in other workshops is either driven by a horse-pulled mechanism, or driven by water flow, but there are some devices on this air exhaust that he has never seen before, and it seems that it does not push automatically.

You Yang didn't understand such a professional thing, and neither did Gu Lan. When he was helpless, a voice said: "This is a steam fan." Fu Xuan came out from behind and bowed to everyone.

Ruan Zheng recognized him at a glance, isn't that the young master of Fu's mansion who loves to hang out with craftsmen every day? I haven't heard about his deeds for a while, so he came here, which suits him very well.Ruan Zheng glanced at his surroundings.

"Master Ruan." Fu Xuan also recognized Ruan Zheng, but he was not familiar with him, so he just called out politely.Shen Xi also met Fu Xuan a few times, and only Wu Huan didn't know each other. Gu Lan introduced them to them.

Wu Huan had always dealt with money and fields, so he was not used to such a stuffy iron smelting workshop, and he didn't hear what Gu Lan said, so he just bent down and said, "I've seen Mrs. Tong."

The surroundings were quiet for a moment, and Ruan Zheng was busy trying to smooth things over: "Master Tong is a young talent, Mr. Fu is also, and Mr. Wu may make mistakes. Mr. Wu, this is Mr. Fu Ge's son."

Only then did Wu Huan realize that he had made a joke, and said awkwardly: "It turns out that it is Mrs. Fu's son. Wu made a joke. I hope you don't mind it."

"Your Majesty Wu is polite." Fu Xuan didn't like people mentioning that he was from the Fu family, so he wasn't too enthusiastic, and lightly revealed the matter.

Ruan Zheng asked again: "We didn't see Mr. Tong all the way, but he is in the workshop?"

Fu Xuan pointed to a room not far away, which was the rest room of the ironworks, and he said, "Master Tong is inside."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the lounge opened, but no one came in.

You Yang's hearing is very good, he heard someone on the other end say: "How did you walk in here, where is Dongqing?"

"Wow!" Then there was a roar of a tiger, but it was not imposing, and it still smelled like milk.

The author has something to say: Zai Zai: I heard that someone misses me.
