I went ashore by weaving straw shoes and became a master craftsman

Chapter 152 Departing from Sanyin County

No matter how high-spirited Wang Ge is, he can't match the big broom of the big mother.

After returning to the reed pavilion, wherever she was, the aunt would sweep the ashes in the courtyard. "Mother, you rest, I'll come."

"No, the rake sweeps the floor without leaking everywhere, no way. Get out of the way."

"Oh, good." The second uncle next to Wang Gechong winked. She couldn't get rid of the nickname Rake, and understood that the old man still felt sorry for the eighteen pennies.

Sure enough, the aunt continued to sweep ashes at her, nagging: "Tsk tsk tsk, my granddaughter is really capable. I didn't finish counting the eighteen pennies all night, so I took them away and gave them to outsiders early in the morning."

Wang Ge pretended to be surprised: "Huh? An outsider? Aunt, it turns out that my third uncle is not your own..."

The broom head poked up from the ground to the sky, and rushed towards Wang Ge. "Don't beat me, uncle, save me."

How could Jia Yu really hit her? She laughed angrily at the way her uncle and nephew hugged their heads.

Under the small thatched shed to the west, Wang Ai carried the sun-dried grass to Wang Dalang. After he tied it tightly, the little guy hugged him aside and piled it up. Then he ran back behind Wang Dalang, put his arms around his neck and kicked him on his back. "Father, Father, Father!"

"Hey." Wang Dalang replied, his heart melted.

The sun sets and the crescent moon rises.

In the dark, Wang Ge and his brother and sister were lying together, and they all stretched out their palms. She said first, "I know how to stick bamboo."

Wang Shu: "I can weave straw sandals."

Wang Peng: "I will open up wasteland."

Wang Yun: "I can write."

Wang Ai: "I can mix pig food. Hee hee."

Wang Ge: "We can do anything, we are not afraid of hardships, and the days will get better and better."

"We will get better and better!"

"It will get better and better!"

The little guys echoed with uneven voices, and Wang Peng's voice was the loudest.

Jia Yu kept turning sideways, being amused by the children.In the past, although Apeng brothers and sisters were left in Weiting, they were not at ease in their hearts. This time, they are all adopted by Da Lang, and finally they are justified.There are two sons and two daughters, if Da Lang doesn't continue, let him go.

In the courtyard, Wang Erlang filled a jar of water and closed the courtyard door tightly. When he saw Huan Tingchang and Cheng Qiubao riding horses to watch the night outside, fragmentary memories suddenly flashed in his mind.In his previous life, when he was building roads in the village, he and a few tenant farmers were sent to the west of the village by the landlord's family, pretending to pass the road back and forth, but in fact they were asking why the road was being built?But how could the tenant find out any useful information, only heard that there was a murder case.

It was during those few days that he knew who was the head of the Linshui Pavilion, who was Cheng Qiupi, and who was Shan Qiurob, but he had never met Huan Langjun.

Forget it, don't think about it, the previous life was all misfortune, it's better not to remember.

The eighth day of June.

After Wang Ge had breakfast, the family sent her to the side of the road.This time the parting period was longer, and everyone was reluctant to part with it, but they all endured it.After turning around, the children all pursed their lips and wiped away their tears.

She didn't ask her second uncle to give it to her, it was agreed a long time ago.It’s not that it’s too late to get a road permit, but that when the second uncle first came to Weiting, he had to work in a down-to-earth manner like Tinghu, and his family couldn’t always rely on the relationship of Chief Huanting to be greedy for profit.

In the early morning of the tenth day of the lunar new year, Wang Ge arrived at the county.

The gathering place of the quasi-craftsmen is the area of ​​the township soldier competition. Due to the competition, many pits were hit on the ground before, but now they have been repaired and leveled.Opposite the place where she took the exam, there are more temporary workshops. From her position, the workshops are arranged in the shape of "冂", still surrounded by high felt walls.

Prospective craftsmen within 20 years can participate in the craftsman competition, but there is a limit to the emergency training camp, with a total of 210 places.In previous years, the number of quasi-craftsmen was 20 people each year, and this batch of newcomers like Wang Ge had a quota of [-] people.After a day of observation, she determined that she finally became the youngest of all.

At dawn the next day, the emergency training camp team set off.

The way to go to Shanyin County is on foot. There are tours in front, middle and back of the team, and there are no craftsmen.At the end of the procession were Lichen concubines pushing a wheelbarrow loaded with pottery stoves and food.Tourists are responsible for leading the way and safety, while Lichen and concubines are responsible for eating, cleaning up feces and other miscellaneous tasks along the way.Prospective craftsman candidates carry their own bags and must keep up with the team.

There was little chatter on the road.Only [-] places will be admitted for the craftsman competition in October, and there will be various competitions before the competition. Everyone is an opponent of each other, so why bother to talk falsely and make people misunderstand what they want to know.

This season is very hot, but all the candidates will stay in Shanyin County for the winter, and the thick bedding, cold clothes and other sundries in the back basket are very heavy. Wang Ge calculated that the journey on the first day was [-] miles Yes, really tired.Cruelly, the laggards vary.

When it was dark, the stragglers found their way to the camp one after another.

Wang Ge broke the blood blisters on the soles of his feet, so he will no longer be able to wear straw sandals tomorrow, but will wear cloth shoes, the soles of which are sewn with layers of Ge cloth.Grinning her teeth in pain, she went to the pottery stove to get some grass ash, walked to the water source, scooped up water with a bamboo pot, and rubbed the blood stains on her feet vigorously.

"Do you want me to help?" Suddenly someone approached quietly, startling her, it was a concubine.

Lichens and concubines in the Jin Dynasty were not allowed to tie their hair when they were adults. This lady is still in her early twenties, and her hair is still half tied and half loose, which is the most obvious sign of criminal servitude.

Wang Ge endured the pain in his feet and left with the bamboo pot and footwear.

"Prospective craftsman?" The concubine followed.

"What are you following me for?" Wang Ge asked loudly.

Many people looked this way.

The other party stopped at the same place, and waved his hand to explain: "Miss, don't be afraid, I just want to ask you to help me make a wooden ruler."

"Nonsense, these people are all prospective craftsmen, why are you only staring at me?"

"I, I think it's best for girls to talk, so..."

Two Youjiao came over, Wang Ge deliberately let Youjiao hear, and refused: "You can ask others to help, I am timid, I am afraid of you."

"Why the noise?" The questioner was the county magistrate who was in charge of the team. He was in charge of both officials and concubines, as well as the officials.Wang Ge met him, and he was the thief who was investigating the case in the maple forest that night.

The concubine knelt down in panic, and quickly explained the whole story: "The maidservant saw this prospective craftsman using a wooden ruler during the day, and saw that she was young and seemed to have a very good temper. It happened that she came to fetch ashes for laundry. , the sin maid followed to the river, and wanted to ask the prospective craftsman to borrow a wooden ruler. .”

The thief arrested and scolded: "Whether you are a minister or a concubine, you are not allowed to talk to any prospective craftsmen on the way, so you know that you made a mistake! You Yu wrote down this crime and served him according to the law when he returned to the county."

The concubine immediately fell to the ground, she didn't dare to cry out, her whole body trembling, made a 30-year-old prospective craftsman couldn't bear to say: "Oh, why bother. If I brought a ruler..."

Wang Ge was very close to this person, so he asked, "What if you brought a ruler?"

"Huh?" The person was interrupted, and said displeasedly: "If I brought a ruler, why not lend her a ruler?"

"But no one is stopping you now, why don't you help her carve a ruler? You carve for her, it is faster and more accurate than her own." Wang Ge was not in a hurry, discussing the truth very seriously.

"There is a difference between men and women!"

"She won't care, she just wants to have a ruler. Isn't that right?" Wang Ge asked Concubine Li.

The thief catcher remembers Wang Ge.The little girl is really smart, she tore off the man's hypocrisy with a few words, and every sentence was reasonable, which won his approval.
