Mada He swatted away Old Man Ye’s hand, "You useless old fool, you never take care of anything. Our daughter is almost being bullied to death, and you’re still here pulling at ?"
"Bullied, what happened?" Old Man Ye’s complexion changed imdiately.
"What happened, isn’t it because the He Family sent soone over? They must know they can’t take advantage of , so they went after our daughter instead," said Mada He as she walked, not daring to delay for a mont.
Old Man Ye didn’t have any grudges with the He Family, it was just that Mada He had endured too much hardship in the past, which was why she took it to heart.
At this mont, hearing Mada He speak so seriously, the He Family appeared in Ye Gaosheng’s mind like ferocious beasts and wild animals.
His delicate and tender little daughter, even if she were clever, couldn’t possibly escape from the clutches of such beasts and wild animals!
Yet in a blink of an eye, Old Man Ye had forgotten all about Ye Daya’s family, as if they were a thousand miles away.
Ye Jiu was currently sitting in the living room of a small courtyard with Prince Jing and his wife, fearful that others would notice her resemblance to Prince Jing, so all the servants in the courtyard had been sent away.
Ye Jiu personally brewed the tea and then served it.
Although the presence of Prince Jing’s Consort made her feel slightly uncomfortable, Prince Jing was very good at finding topics of conversation.
Knowing that Ye Jiu loved money, Prince Jing started discussing the manufacturing of glass.
The first batch of glass had already been made. Aside from the labor cost and initial investnt, it hardly consud any resources in terms of raw materials. However, the produced glass was barely satisfactory.
It temporarily had no shape, being only flat, and what’s more, the glass contained a lot of bubbles and its transparency was not as good as the samples Ye Jiu had provided. So, selling it for money was still out of the question. At present, they were still incurring losses in their research and production.
Prince Jing felt they were producing at a loss, but Ye Jiu didn’t think so.
Modern glass might be easy to make, but this was ancient tis. Under such undeveloped conditions, the fact that they could make glass at all was already a great advancent.
Moreover, waste glass wasn’t entirely useless.
The hot spring estate that Prince Jing gave him also ca with 2,000 acres of land. Now that so much glass had been produced, it would be a pity to throw it away. Why not use it all to set up a greenhouse for vegetables? That way, they wouldn’t have to settle for just radishes and pickles when winter ca.
After hearing what Ye Jiu had to say, Prince Jing was still skeptical, "Girl, are you sure that setting up these greenhouses can really grow vegetables?"
Planting vegetables in such cold weather, what a joke!
Apart from radishes and cabbages, which could withstand the cold, even the trees on the mountains were bare; what kind of vegetables could grow!
Ye Jiu, however, was very confident, "It’s certainly true. Glass has great light transmission properties and can absorb the heat of the sun. We can build a fra and then set it all up with glass..."
Thus, although it would incur a huge expense, leaving the glass lying around unused would also be a waste. It would be better for it to fulfill its purpose.
"If that’s the case, then I will write a letter when I return ho, instructing people to start preparations according to what you said. If we can really grow vegetables, girl, this will be another great achievent for you!" Prince Jing looked at Ye Jiu with admiration.
The two were so engaged in conversation that no one noticed the expression of the Princess Consort.
That loving gaze she had for Ye Jiu grew increasingly brighter with each idea that Ye Jiu proposed.
This should be her and the Prince’s child, so outstanding and unique, having completely inherited the Prince’s looks and intelligence.
Looking at Qin Zhou, who was sitting nearby, a hint of disdain flashed in the eyes of the Princess Consort.
