Chapter 168 Song Renjing apologizes
The emperor, who was far away in the capital, also received an urgent letter sent by Prince Li's palace.
He opened it hastily and saw two letters inside. Both covers were addressed to His Majesty.
One letter was written in the handwriting of Prince Li, and the other was written in the handwriting of his own grandson.
The emperor was overjoyed and quickly opened the two letters and read the contents quickly.
In Song Renjing's letter, he embellished his experiences during this period, as well as what he had learned and felt, and wrote down all of them.
He also wrote his own plan, preparing to study in the valley and return to the court after completing his studies.
By then, I will obtain the consent of the people in the valley and pass on what I have learned.
Also included are the construction of cement kilns and brick kilns, the firing methods, and the usage of cement.
Everyone in the valley knows these two things, and the imperial court also needs things like cement to reinforce the city walls.
So without obtaining the consent of the Gu family, he executed the decision first and reported it later.
The letter from Prince Li described what happened after the little grandson came to the palace and why he was unwilling to go back.
The emperor sat in the imperial study, looking at the contents of the letter and pondering for a long time.
He took out two pieces of paper with recipes for a brick kiln and a cement kiln from the letter and said, "Someone come!"
"I'm here!" A man appeared in the darkness, knelt on one knee and clasped his fists.
"Take these two prescriptions and go to the Minister of Works. Tell him to send someone to secretly make cement."
"Yes."
"Also, tell the secret guards who are looking for the emperor's grandson to cancel the operation and not to go into the mountains to look for him again. They don't have to come back either, just hide in the vicinity of Zesheng County and Weng County. If they see the little emperor's grandson, they will obey his orders."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The man in black said and took the paper.
After bowing, he stepped back and disappeared into the darkness.
Soon each party received tasks and orders and took action.
The Gu family flew for another four hours before returning to the valley. It was already midnight when they got back. They all washed up and rested.
The next day, Duan Shuhuan attended class alone again. After class, he made some more perfumed soap and then went back.
The Gu family slept until mid-afternoon before waking up.
The information connection between smart butlers allows Kitchen Madam to always prepare delicious food in a timely and accurate manner.
The Gu family had just arrived at the restaurant and the last dish was just served.
"It's still more comfortable at home. As soon as I wake up, I can eat such delicious and tasty food." Gu Yi said with a satisfied look on his face while eating.
"It's true. I asked Zhixing to give me a full body massage before I went to sleep yesterday. After waking up, I felt relaxed all over." Gu Dajiang said happily.
"We hide in this valley, away from the troubles outside. We are really blessed everywhere!" Gu Dahai also sighed.
Grandpa Gu was also touched by the discussion of his children and grandchildren. "Next, our lives should return to normal. You should study as you should and work as you should."
"Also, I plan to open up all the fields in the valley. With the food shortage out there, who knows when they might come in handy. What do you think?"
When Gu Dajiang heard this, he immediately responded, "Dad, this is a good idea. I definitely support it. But if the grain produced is too much, can I sell it? If I want to give it to outsiders, I need someone to contact me, right?"
"You, you, I can't control you. But as you said, if you want to let outsiders use it, there must be a contact person, and you can't lie every time. Since you want to do it and are not afraid of the war outside, then go ahead and do it." Old Man Gu sighed helplessly.
After hearing this, Gu Dajiang said happily, "Dad, you agree to let your son do business! That's great. I will definitely work hard."
The other family members were also very happy when they heard that Grandpa Gu had agreed.
Everyone in the Gu family has their own interests and hobbies. After studying for so long and accumulating so many products, they naturally want to be tested by the market.
"Since dad has allowed my second brother to do business, why not ask the people in the valley if they have any specialties. If they can make something to sell, it will also make the goods in my second brother's hands more diverse." Jiang said.
"Good, this way, they can also have real money income." Grandpa Gu agreed.
"Dad, can we sell the cement we made before the New Year? The king's army has fought with the rebels several times and it sounds like they have suffered heavy losses. If we have cement, we can help them reinforce the city walls and give them a better chance of winning."
"Let's discuss this matter again. Not only has the ice and snow outside not melted, but the soldiers can't even get enough food to eat. How can we build the city wall?" Old Man Gu refused.
"Besides, cement is something that no one has ever heard of outside. If we take it out rashly, it will definitely arouse covetousness and exploration."
"Dad is right." Gu Dajiang said.
At this moment, Song Renjing, who had been eating silently, stood up and knelt in front of Mr. Gu.
"Kid, why did you suddenly kneel down? Get up quickly and talk to me nicely if you have anything to say." Old Master Gu called out hurriedly, and Gu Dahai tried to pull the quilt to avoid him.
"Grandpa Gu, uncles and aunts of the Gu family, please listen to me first." Song Renjing said to everyone.
Everyone looked at this stubborn child and could only let him do what he wanted.
"Child, go ahead and talk. We are listening." Grandpa Gu said gently.
"Grandpa Gu, uncles and aunts of the Gu family, I'm sorry! I want to apologize to everyone. I told my grandfather the method of burning cement and bricks without your consent. I also showed the medicine for repairing wounds to an uncle. Please forgive me. From now on, I will never disclose the things in the valley without your permission. Please forgive me!"
After Song Renjing finished speaking, he bowed his head.
The Gu family thought he was going to talk about something else, but they didn't expect it to be this. They all breathed a sigh of relief.
Mr. Gu asked, "Then what else did you say to your family? Why did you say that to your family?"
"I wanted to come back to the valley and learn the knowledge in our valley, but my family wouldn't let me. They thought I was cheated and wouldn't let me leave. I had no choice but to tell them." Song Renjing explained to the Gu family.
"What was your family's reaction after hearing this?" Mr. Gu continued to ask.
"They didn't believe it at first, but I took out the ointment and showed it to them, and then they believed it. They allowed me to come back and continue my studies. Of course, I will never reveal a single word about what happens in the valley without permission in the future." Song Renjing said in a low voice, and finally made assurances again and again.
"Get up!" said Mr. Gu.
"Grandpa Gu, I was wrong. I will never tell anyone about it again. Grandpa Gu, please don't chase me away." Song Renjing begged for mercy.
Song Renjing raised this today, on the one hand, to sincerely apologize and explain the matter clearly.
On the other hand, he wanted to see the Gu family's attitude before deciding what to do next.
Gu Fu was listening nearby, and he didn't think anything would happen if the two prescriptions were leaked.
However, he strongly disagrees with the behavior of spreading the happenings in the valley to outsiders.
As expected, I still have to impose a ban to feel at ease. What if I say something I shouldn’t say one day, it will bring trouble to my family.
