Chapter 249: This is selective forgetting

The blacksmiths in the iron workshop were very efficient. They made the iron table stove that Shi Qingluo wanted in just three days.

They painted it as Shi Qingluo said and dried it for another day.

The honeycomb coal was made two days ago and dried in the sun.

After making the iron coal stove, Mo Qingling asked Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo to come to the county town.

They experienced the effects of the iron coal stove and honeycomb coal together.

Mo Qingling soon fell in love with this square table iron stove.

It was sealed on top and put on a mat. When working on it, his hands, feet, and body were warm.

Mo Qingling said: “I’ll have someone make a batch urgently and send it to the capital.”

Shi Qingluo nodded and smiled and said: “Okay.”

Then Mo Qingling asked the blacksmiths in the workshop to make some iron stoves according to what Shi Qingluo said.

It was perfect to put honeycomb coal on it, which can be carried and moved.

He had a few made, placed them in the county yamen for the officials on duty to warm, and gave two to the gatekeeper.

In about half a month, more than 30 iron table furnaces were built.

Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng also brought carriages of sweaters, trousers, socks, and wool scarves.

Mo Qingling had someone escort them to the capital in an emergency.

After another ten days, at the capital.

Nanshan Marquis Mansion, the Fei Family, the Xi Family, and the Liang Family all received gifts from Shi Qingluo.

The Liang Family received the things first.

Liang Youxiao had someone move them to his yard.

After discovering that there were three iron tables and some black charcoal with holes, he was a little confused.

Why did Shi Qingluo send them this?

So he opened the letter and read it. After reading the purpose of the iron furnace, the smile in his eyes became thicker.

He recently begged the old grandmother to let him go into business, and finally, the old grandmother relented.

The old grandmother helped him to intercede with the old grandfather, and the old grandfather also relented recently.

He was just worrying about what to do to make his old grandfather happy and relented.

When he was sleepy, Shi Qingluo sent him a pillow.

Shi Qingluo was his lucky star!

Every month on the fifth day of the month, the Liang Family would have a family dinner together, men, women, old and young.

Today was the twenty-fifth, and the family members were going to the old lady’s yard for dinner.

Liang Youxiao asked someone to bring sweaters, trousers, and socks and carried two iron stoves to the old lady’s yard.

It was not yet time for dinner, but people from several rooms had already arrived in the old lady’s room.

The daughters of several rooms coaxed the old lady to smile, and the old man was drinking tea on the side, a little bored.

Now the weather is too cold, so the old friends don’t make plans to play mahjong anymore.

The affairs of the court and the family were handed over to the sons, so they were bored at home.

Soon, Liang Youxiao walked in.

Seeing his son like this, Liang Mingcheng couldn’t help asking: “What are you carrying in?”

Liang Youxiao smiled and replied: “I’m bringing good things to grandpa and grandma.”

This successfully attracted the attention of the old man and the old lady.

Old Man Liang looked at the painted iron table and asked inexplicably: “What good thing is this?”

Liang Youxiao smiled and said: “You can’t play mahjong recently, aren’t you bored? It just so happens that I got this good thing, so I quickly brought it here.”

“You’ll know in a while.”

He told the servants: “Put the stove in the side hall and set it up.”

Soon the servants carried an iron table to the side hall.

Liang Youxiao asked someone to open the two bundles again.

He picked up a set of dark purple sweaters, trousers, and socks and walked to the old lady offering a treasure.

“Grandma, this is the sweater and trousers that I asked Shi Qingluo to find someone to knit. You will be warm after wearing it. Please try it.”

The old lady naturally couldn’t refuse her grandson’s filial piety: “Okay, then I’ll try it.”

Then she asked the maid to take the clothes and help her into the inner room to put them on.

Liang Youxiao presented another set of smoky gray to the old man: “Grandfather, this is a tribute to you, why don’t you try it too?”

The old man glanced at the sweater and trousers and said indifferently: “I accept your kindness, but I won’t try it.”

He also said casually: “Besides, how warm can this thing be? It looks like a thin layer, it’s better to wear a coat.”

Liang Youxiao didn’t force it: “Okay.”

Others didn’t take these things to heart.

They just think that Liang Youxiao used everything to flatter the two elders.

Fortunately, the old man was smart and was not fooled by him.

After a while, the maid helped the old lady out.

“Xiao Liu, you are the most filial.”

The grandmother was very happy: “This sweater and trousers are really warm to wear, and there are wool socks. After putting them on, my feet are not cold anymore.”

People are naturally more afraid of cold when they get old.

Putting on this sweater, trousers, and wool socks, not only was it very close to the body, but the old lady also felt much warmer.

Seeing the old lady’s look, the old man was half-believing and half-doubting: “Is it that warm?”

The old lady glared at him: “Why would I lie to you.”

Then seeing the clothes in front of him, she said disapprovingly: “My grandson gave it to you out of filial piety, why don’t you wear it?”

The old man still knows his wife very well. If she thinks it’s good, it won’t be bad.

So he also picked up the sweater, trousers, and socks: “Okay, since Xiao Liu is so filial, I will try it too.”

Soon, the old man came out happily.

He asked Liang Youxiao: “What is this dress made of? Why is it so warm?”

Liang Youxiao thought he must have been slapped in the face.

But he didn’t show it on his face: “This is wool twisted into yarn, and then knitted.”

He asked: “Grandfather, is it comfortable to wear?”

Just before going out, he had already put on a set of clothes, so he knew it in his mind.

The old man smiled and said: “Warm and close-fitting.”

The old lady raised an eyebrow: “Don’t you want to wear a coat?”

The old man smiled and waved his hand: “The coat is too thick, it’s not easy to move around in it, this is better.”

The member of the Liang family: “……”

I don’t know who said just now that wearing this is not as good as wearing a coat, the old man is too fickle.

The old man asked Liang Youxiao again: “How many sets are there?”

Liang Youxiao smiled and replied: “You have one set, and there are two sets of my father’s.”

The old man said directly: “Your father is strong, he doesn’t need to wear so warm.”

“I am about the same size as him, I want the other two sets.”

Liang Mingcheng: “……”

Is this his biological father? He must have been picked up by him.

And this is given to him by his son out of filial piety!

He said with a dark face: “Father, Xiao Liu is so filial to me.”

What good things have his parents not seen?

Since they don’t want to take the clothes off after putting them on, and they want to occupy themselves, it means it must be warm.

When winter comes, his father will ask the Emperor for leave and not go to court because he is not feeling well, but he still has to go.

Every morning when he stood in the hall, although there was a brazier, it was still chilly.

They couldn’t wear coats and fur capes over their official uniforms, so he wanted these kinds of warm clothes.

The old man was being shameless: “You haven’t given me anything as a gift, so just treat this sweater as a gift to me.”

How many sets should he have to change and wash? How can two sets be enough?

Liang Mingcheng: “……”

I just gave you a fox fur coat a few days ago. This is selective forgetfulness!
