Thousands of years

"Ah! That's great!" The setting sun shone at night, and the setting sun blew the shadow of Leifeng Pagoda into chaos. The two girlfriends walked together to relax, and An Ji suddenly received a sharing from Ning Yunfan.

"What's the matter, Ann?"

Before Midsummer stepped forward, An Ji had already turned the screen to the former, "It's Ning Yunfan's "West Lake in Poetry". Uncle Ning said before that he would rush to apply for some domestic and foreign awards. One has been announced for nomination."

The screenshot on the mobile phone is a letter from the organizer, which has a sense of design and reveals joy everywhere.Midsummer is sincerely happy—"Shili West Lake" not only has two girlfriends participating, but also won the joint authorization of "Shili West Lake". From any angle, it is gratifying.

"Uncle Ning really has the foresight. He asked us to prepare a few sets of designs in advance. Otherwise, we will not be able to show our culture, and we will be laughed at."

Putting away the phone, An Ji now has everything settled, and he doesn't need to rush to make designs. He is relaxed, facing the cool and humid spring breeze, and even his hair is full of joy.

"Hey...there's no news on my side right now." Sheng Xia suddenly thought of something, and suddenly felt sad, sighed, and searched for the documents in the phone, "Look, forms, drafts, abstracts... It’s more serious than when I wrote my thesis.”

Don't look at the two best friends who can show up on time when the other needs it.In fact, the time before midsummer was not at all easier than Anji's - the design of Shili, the new Hanfu store, online and offline operations, field investigations and research, one by one, one by one, I want to be lazy and watch the video , Reading a novel is completely impossible.

"Don't worry, as you said, this kind of thing has to be done step by step. You and Sister Chen must have some revisions when you hand in the proposal, so that you can have feedback on the follow-up implementation."

When comforting others, anyone can speak clearly and clearly.And when things really happened to him, no matter how transparent he was, he would always feel troubled.

Midsummer is like this now.Clearly knowing that there is no rush, clearly knowing that the proposals made by me and sister Chen may not be perfect, and maybe they will not be adopted at all, and clearly don't care about the so-called 'reward'.

But after all, Shengxia still hopes to see that the cultural cause that he has worked hard for for more than half a year, and even insists on for the rest of his life, can be recognized and truly bring value to society.

"I'm not in a hurry, but there has been no news for so long, maybe..."

"Midsummer, I want to tell you two good news. One is about our proposal, and the other is about you. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, Sheng Xiagang and An Ji mentioned the CPPCC sister Chen, and the latter called her.

"Ah? Hear the bad news first." Sheng Xia responded subconsciously before turning her head around.

"There's no bad news, it's all good news." Sister Chen on the other end of the phone smiled, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I'll tell you the two good news about our proposal first."

"Our proposal won the first prize in our awards this time, and there is a certain subsidy. When it comes to me, I will transfer half of it to you."

Sister Chen didn't give Sheng Xia any chance to refute, and continued: "You are also traveling back and forth, this money is basically considered as reimbursement for your travel expenses, don't tell me to let me take it."

"Then our proposal is already being prepared, and it shouldn't take long for you to see some results."

"Yeah, um... okay." No wonder Sister Chen can do things for the people in the CPPCC, Sheng Xia sighed, even she couldn't say no to Sister Chen, "Okay, I won't refuse, it's pretty good, let's have a look too Will it really work then?"

"Well, let's not talk about this. Our task in this matter has been completed, and we have done everything we can. The follow-up depends on how to implement it."

"The other thing is about you." With Shengxia's dull response before, Sister Chen stopped trying to keep the former up, and then said, "We recruited new members a while ago, because you participated in our proposal. You are also representative in your own industry, so I recommended you as a recommender.”

"The meeting has been held now, and it is basically confirmed. After a while, we should be able to truly fight side by side."

The setting sun in the sky blasts the most gorgeous orange and purple in front of your eyes, and together with the green onions in the mountains, it blooms the most gorgeous and conspicuous colors on the palette.

Hearing the words of Sister Chen of the Political Consultative Conference, something seemed to explode in Sheng Xia's mind along with the setting sun, and the brilliance of the sky was not as memorable as the good news at this moment.

"Ah, okay, then..."

"There's not much to do. I'll send you a document later. You fill it out and send it to me the day after tomorrow at the latest." Sister Chen on the other side of the phone paused for a moment, probably checking something, "Well, yes, nothing else, you remember!"

"Is your bestie by your side? I won't bother you anymore. Go and share your happiness with your bestie. I still have things to deal with here."

Shengxia herself has a vigorous and decisive temperament, but she still lost the wind when facing sister Chen.The former had just received this series of information, and before he could fully digest it, the latter had already hung up the phone and continued to do other things.

"Unexpectedly, it really did happen!"

Surprise, happiness, satisfaction?Sheng Xia couldn't tell her current mood clearly, she only knew that even if all the fireworks along the river were lifted into the sky, it would not compare to her current joy.

Talking about the situation on the phone with my best friend, Sheng Xia's ears were flushed, and he felt a little sweat on his forehead, extremely excited.

"Then we all got our wish!"

"Speaking of which, did the boy who contacted you that day go to your Hangluo factory?"

The two girlfriends walked around and sat on the bench by the lake. An Ji shrugged and replied: "Not yet, we have an appointment for two days, what's the matter? Would you like to take a look for me? Look at this Is a boy a person who can study hard?"

"Okay!" Sheng Xia deserved to be refreshed, followed by retreating quickly, "Even I may not be able to see the character of the other party."

"You!" An Ji smiled and thumped the former's shoulder, "It's okay, we'll take a look when the time comes, anyway, he still needs to learn for a while, and slowly he will be able to see his character."

Don't look at the two girlfriends talking easily at this time, when five people came to the Hangluo Factory on the appointed day, An Ji saw a rather cramped passage sent by the boy on the phone.

[Clean and well-dressed: Hello, I recently created a group with some netizens who are interested in Hangluo and want to learn, but I didn’t find some of your official netizens. Today we may have a total of four or five people to go. 】

This morning, An Ji was busy preparing to welcome guests, but An Ji didn't even look at his cell phone, because he left a cell phone for 'well-dressed', so he wasn't afraid of any embarrassment that he couldn't get in touch.

But they never expected that 'well-dressed' would bring so many people, and the small gifts they had originally prepared were obviously not enough.

"that……"

As a girlfriend, she knew that An Ji was only thinking about these presents, and now she probably had to apologize for her poor preparation. Sheng Xia stopped An Ji from speaking halfway, and took out a few from the bag on the table beside her. Let everyone take a look at the document: "I will take you to experience it later, and take it back as if you did it yourself, and use these as a reference."

"Follow An An around and have a look, she is the youngest intangible heritage inheritor in our industry!"

Sheng Xia is really good at talking, but there is no falsehood in his words.An Ji is the only successor of the younger generation in the industry, so of course he can be called the 'youngest'.

It's just that as soon as these words came out, An Ji felt his face burn up, showing embarrassment from head to toe.Who would have thought that my best friend would still look unconcerned, with a faint smile on her face, following step by step.

After walking a few steps, An Ji saw the courier bag on the bookshelf not far away - this is the sample book sent by the publishing house yesterday, there are fifteen copies in total.

During this period of time, I took advantage of the fact that I had nothing else to do, so I sorted out the manuscripts that I had sorted out before against the ancient books, and found a reliable publishing house to deliver them.

Ben was also worried about nothing, and thought that he might need to publish at his own expense, but he didn’t expect the publishing house to pay enough attention to it. He smiled and showed An Ji the relevant books published by the government when the Hangluo Factory applied for intangible cultural heritage many years ago. .

"Here, you should be familiar with this, it is published by our publishing house, so we welcome your subject matter very much."

Aunt Zhang gave An Ji and his party a copy of the book mentioned by the editor of the publishing house when they first came to Hangluo Factory, so they were naturally very familiar with it.

"Then we will print you the lowest printing volume first, and then we will look at sales and your demand later... I have just roughly read this manuscript, and the quality is not bad. We will pay a [-]% tax on the manuscript Let's count."

Perhaps it was because of the popularity of "Shili West Lake", or maybe it was the editor's personal preference. The third review and third proofreading of the anonymous ancient book will soon be completed. It often takes a year to get the edition number, typesetting and printing, and it actually left in half a year. down.

"I'll give each of you a copy of this. It's also a manuscript given to me by an old grandfather. I sorted it out and published it for the publishing house. I just sent a sample book, and it hasn't been officially listed yet."

Sheng Xia knows how to adapt to changing situations. As a good girlfriend, An Ji's personal ability should not be underestimated.Although the two have warm and gentle personalities, they are comparable in terms of ability.

The cover was designed and drawn by An Ji himself, and did not adopt the design of the publishing house.Out of respect for An Ji, the publishing house did not make any changes, but only made color and typesetting.

Tong Guan Youwei said that she is beautiful. 'Tongguan powder is reddish, exuding vitality, and the back of a beauty in a dark green dress brings infinite space for imagination to the whole picture. The fragrance of ink is already blooming without opening the pages of the book.

The beauties in the book are like old friends, and old friends are like jade and gold dust.A word on the falling paper is a wonderful pen, and the fragrance of ink has nourished the soul for thousands of years.While An Ji was talking about several types of looms in the Hangluo factory that changed with the times, one of the five people who got the book had already opened it and read it.

When the book is in the eyes, it is like meeting old people. It may not be vigorous, but it will also leave traces.The fifth and sixth sisters, Mrs. Li and Fang Yanei in the book not only shocked An Ji back then, but also engraved in the hearts of the visitors.

Sending incense with scrolls is like an old friend trusting far away. It may not be gorgeous and rhetorical, but it must also be touching.Every word and sentence in the anonymous ancient book, the group of people who were able to make a living from Hangluo thousands of years ago, and who were able to gain independence and recognition with their own hands, are closely linked with the hearts of those who admire Hangluo now. , I don’t see any traces, but I know that the words are affectionate.

"This is a piece of clothing from Hengluo and Chunluo left over from the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China. You can touch it and see that it is still well preserved. Regardless of the historical value, you can wear it as long as you are willing."

After printing and dyeing over time, the original color is covered with a layer of white ash, which adds a sense of luxury to the clothes hanging on the wall.

With An Ji's consent, the five of them unceremoniously touched it with their hands.If you look carefully, you will find that a few people only dare to touch the corners of the clothes carefully, for fear of catching the silk threads and ruining the clothes.

"It's soft and waxy, and it's very slippery, so touch it well."

It is at your fingertips, as if you are communicating with the old man who got this precious clothes after explaining his request to the tailor more than a hundred years ago.

It also seems to touch the ten fingers of the weaver who wove this horizontal and spring cloth more than a hundred years ago, and have a long talk with this history and culture that lasts for thousands of years.

"Can we learn?" Among the five people, a girl took the initiative to speak. Her round face was a little fat, and she looked as soft and sticky as the Hangluo material, but she didn't dodge her mouth at all.

"I've only heard of silk and satin before, but I didn't know Hangluo until I saw "Shili West Lake" recently."

"In the generation of my parents, when it comes to silk, it always seems to be a treasure that is out of reach. Even if a month's salary can buy tens of meters or tens of meters, they still think it is a treasure that can be seen from a distance and cannot be played with. .”

The girl's reason was very good. Looking at the companions around her who didn't dare to speak up, she simply spoke up and spoke for the other four: "Many of us are interested in poetry, calligraphy, Hanfu, and Guzheng, and then we gradually pay attention to this aspect. It is only now that I understand Hang Luo, as long as we can learn, we will definitely study hard.”

"My major in university is in the direction of new media operations. Like you, studying Hangluo will not conflict with my major." The guy who spoke was 'well-dressed'. Looking at real people now, he really deserves his online name .

The young man who is breezy and bright, but with a bit of weakness in his bookish air, he speaks in a soft voice.

Everyone was obviously well prepared to come, from Hang Luo to An Ji himself, they had been carefully understood, which was enough to show their sincerity.

"You can learn if you want..." Aunt Zhang appeared at the door of the small exhibition hall at the right time, "But our road is not easy for An Ji. Although the road is getting wider and wider now, the difficulties you will face will not few."

"Starting from the loom, you may not have access to the loom in the first year. If you don't persist, this year will be wasted."

All ugly things are said in the front, Aunt Zhang does not want people to only see the current "brilliance" of Hangluo.

Whether it's the nice phrase "one minute on stage, ten years of work off stage" or the ugly phrase "just watch thieves eat meat, don't watch thieves get beaten", all of them are the hardships behind the "brilliance".

Off topic:
Let me tell you about the Hang Luo dress that my mother made for me in September last year, except that the stitching was not done properly, and then it was a bit open (the problem of sewing, not Luo’s problem), other things, I feel Not as difficult to serve as imagined.It is said that silk is hard to handle, but it doesn't snag or anything. I usually wear it to sleep, and it's okay to wear it outside that day.Do some outerwear after a while and see if it wears out or something.

There is also a very magical one, I don’t know if it is a common feature of silk.I caught a cold that day, and then sweated. Usually, if I wrapped it in a bath towel, I would be very tired, but I was wearing Hangluo that day, and I didn’t feel that kind of exhaustion. I heard that I was looking forward to it. Exclude wind-cold, wind-heat and cold are different in nature.
