Chapter 590 - 524: The Lonely Sister and Brother of the Ancient Hunter’s Family 45
"The glass factory is located outside of the manor. However, it’s surrounded by walls, and besides, I have assigned some people to be on watch," Qin Ye declared.
Such an important place, he wished he could guard it twenty-four hours a day.
Unfortunately, because Miss Rong wouldn’t let him reveal this to the master, he could only have the guards previously designated by the master take turns on duty temporarily.
Fortunately, there hadn’t been any incidents during this time; otherwise, he truly would have been to blame.
Even as Qin Ye heard this, he was still very unsettled, so he glared fiercely at Hu Dao.
Such an important matter, you should reveal at least some of it.
Even if not disclosing it, surely it wouldn’t be a problem to dispatch some more guards! Yet he hadn’t even done this... It was simply too negligent.
When Hu Dao caught the master’s gaze, he dared not look for long.
After all, he was truly at fault when it came to this matter.
No matter what, he had to deploy more people.
Qin Ye was now not holding him accountable. "Let’s go."
At that word, Hu Dao quickly followed.
Together, they approached the glass shop.
"Master, this is the place," Hu Dao said, his spirits lifting.
If previously, the person he respected and was most loyal to was the master before him,
Then the person he admired most in his life was Miss Rong.
He truly had never seen a young lady who knew so much, and was also extremely impressive in both agriculture and business.
What about those noble young ladies in Beijing? In terms of appearance alone, Miss Rong could utterly surpass them.
In terms of knowledge, insight, and all kinds of skills, who could know more than Miss Rong?
And Miss Rong was also exceptionally kind-hearted... Only she would be willing to donate such important grain and vegetables in this era... This was not something those seeking fame and fishing for compliments could do.
She was the person he admired most, apart from his master.
At the factory entrance, there were old soldiers from Qin Ye’s army on guard; when they saw Qin Ye, they were about to salute, but Qin Ye raised his hand to spare them the formality and then walked straight in.
Seeing those people bustling about with their work, Qin Ye’s pupils shrank slightly.
Especially when he saw the finished products... For the first time, he felt that his knowledge was indeed too limited.
So this was how these items were made.
His feelings were complex... In any case, he dared to assert that not a single person in their area, not even the Ministry of Industry in Beijing, had the ability to make this substance called glass.
"...What are those?"
Qin Ye’s gaze fell upon some items that were being packaged, appearing particularly delicate.
Hu Dao immediately explained, "Master, those are mirrors requested by Miss Rong; those mirrors can clearly reflect any detail on our faces..."
And they were much clearer than bronze mirrors.
If these were sold in Beijing, then by that time... probably all the wealthy young masters and ladies would scramble for them, after all, the reflections were just too clear.
Upon hearing this, Qin Ye directly walked over.
Although the workers had never seen Qin Ye, seeing how respectfully Guard Huo behaved, they knew he must be a man of high status.
Each of them stopped their work and thought to salute.
Qin Ye said, "Just keep working."
The workers looked towards Hu Dao, the more familiar face, and heard him say, "Listen to my master."
So the workers bowed their heads and resumed their work.
Qin Ye picked up a small mirror and took a look... Even the shocked expression on his face was clearly visible.
It was truly too clear to see.
"Master, isn’t this quite impressive?" Hu Dao spoke with a hint of excitement.
Qin Ye’s mood was mixed.
Why was she so capable?
But more so, there was joy within his heart... because the girl he liked was truly impressive.
He felt honored by association.
After he finished inspecting the glass factory, he returned to the main hall, still unable to calm his feelings.
As soon as he entered, he smelled a rich fragrance.
Before he could even look up, he heard Rong Jin’s somewhat joyful voice, "Brother Qin, you’re here!"
Qin Ye looked down at him and immediately noticed something different, "You’ve grown quite a lot in a month! You’ve shot up so much..."
He gestured with his hand.
Of course, Rong Jin cared about growing taller.
When Brother Qin mentioned he had grown, his smile instantly stretched ear to ear.
"I’ve been eating a lot this month, so I’ve grown taller, and I’ll grow even more."
He hoped to grow as tall as Brother Qin someday.
Qin Ye thought, indeed, it’s the age for children to grow.
"How’s your horse stance coming along? Once you’re steady in it, I’ll teach you some moves later."
Rong Jin immediately said, "Brother Qin, you’re so busy, don’t worry about teaching me! Plus, I have a mentor now."
This comment surprised Qin Ye, "Who’s your mentor?"
Hu Dao came forward with a stiff expression, "...Master, it’s me... but I’m not really a mentor..."
Qin Ye turned to look at him.
Ha, talk about being capable!
Under his master’s sharp gaze, Hu Dao felt his entire scalp tingle.
"Master, I just showed Young Master Rong a few moves, but Miss Rong told Young Master Rong to call me mentor..." He really didn’t dare assume such a title.
But no matter how happily Rong Jin called him, it never helped to correct it.
What could he do?
Qin Ye: ...
You respond when he calls you that?
Rong Jin: "Brother Qin, Master Huo is really skilled, Sister asked me to call him mentor."
Right then, Rong Yan called out to them, "You can come over for the meal now."
As soon as Qin Ye heard the voice of his beloved, the matter of whether to call one mentor or not was cast aside in his mind.
After all, it was just teaching a child, and Hu Dao’s kung fu really was quite good.
Walking over, he finally saw two stoves burning, each with a copper pot on top.
"What kind of eating method is this? Why are all the vegetables raw?"
