Liu Linchu paused and asked, "Xiao Luo, after we get married, where do you want to live?"

"Of course it's your family. Brother Linchu, why do you ask this question?" Han Qianluo said a little puzzled.

Liu Linchu smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just asked casually." After that, the two talked about some flowers, and then Liu Linchu went back.

For the next two days, Han Qianluo was busy planting wheat and rapeseed. After finally planting the wheat and rapeseed, she was relieved, and then she was free to do other things.

This morning, Han Qianluo came to Xie Yueyong's house to tell him that the cotton had been harvested, but as soon as he got to his house, he found that his house was red everywhere, and then he remembered that Xie Yueyong was about to get married.

In the past, the door of Xie's house was closed tightly, but today it was wide open. When Han Qianluo walked to the door, he found that the people inside were all busy, and people kept coming in and out, but No one paid attention to her, which made her a little confused whether to advance or retreat.

But fortunately, the old man who opened the door for Han Qianluo found her at this time, walked over and said, "You are here to find the young master, the young master is not at home, do you want to wait here for a while?"

How could Han Qianluo be willing to wait here? She quickly said, "You tell me where he is, and I can go find him myself."

The old man was very busy, and people kept asking him about various things, so he didn't say much, and simply told Han Qianluo where Xie Yueyong was.

When Han Qianluo got the news he wanted, he quickly said goodbye and left this busy place. When he left, he almost bumped into a busy servant.

Han Qianluo came to the West Market and found the shop named Hanqing Pavilion. She was still a little puzzled when she saw the name, what was it for? Once you get in, you can see what you're doing here.

This place is actually a library, but it's not a place to sell books. It's a bit like a library. Han Qianluo saw that there were many scholars reading books here, and some of them were copying with pens and paper.

There was a young guy inside, he was taken aback when he saw Han Qianluo walk in, he was obviously surprised to see that she was a woman, but the guy immediately put away the surprised expression on his face, raised a smile and said: " Girl, are you also here to read or copy books?"

Han Qianluo was a little curious when he heard this, so he asked casually: "Is there any difference?"

"The price is different." The clerk quickly explained, "If you are reading books, girl, you only need one penny a day, and if you want to copy books, a bamboo slip is ten pennies."

Hearing this explanation, Han Qianluo was stunned for a moment, so it seems that this Hanqing Pavilion will not make money at all, but she thinks that a person as smart as Xie Yueyong will definitely not make a loss-making business, so she doesn't think about it About the matter, I asked the buddy and said: "I'm here to thank you, Mr. Xie, and I heard that he is here."

"Wait a minute." The clerk sized up the place indistinctly, then opened the curtain and walked to the back, came out soon, and said with a smile, "Girl, the shopkeeper invites you in."

Han Qianluo opened the curtain and walked in, and found Xie Yueyong reading a book inside. When he found him coming in, he quickly rolled up the bamboo slips, stood up and said with a smile, "I guess Qianluo must have brought good news this time."

"It's not good news. I already collected all the cotton two days ago, so I came here to tell Mr. Xie." Han Qianluo said.

Xie Yueyong immediately became interested, and said with a smile: "This is really good news, how about the output?" Han Qianluo couldn't say well about the output, so he said to him: "I can't say either. , why don't you go to my house and have a look?"

"Okay." Xie Yueyong agreed immediately.

Han Qianluo went to buy some things first, and then went back with Xie Yueyong. After walking to Qianyangli, she found that people frequently looked at the two of them, not only her, but also Xie Yueyong, who was a little puzzled Asked: "Why do people in your village keep looking at us, is there any problem?"

Han Qianluo didn't understand what was going on for a while, so he could only shake his head. After walking for a while, he saw Mrs. Zhou, so she walked over and said hello: "Aunt Zhou."

Unexpectedly, when Zhou saw them, his complexion changed all of a sudden, he pulled her aside, and whispered with some disapproval: "How you do things is still the same, you are a girl who is engaged now, you can't be like this anymore scruples."

It was only then that Han Qianluo understood why those people looked at them strangely, but she sat up straight and was not afraid of gossiping with those people, and Liu Linchu was not that kind of person.

Although he thought so in his heart, Han Qianluo thanked Zhou for his reminder and said, "Thank you Aunt Zhou for your reminder, but we just want to talk about some business matters."

"I know, but I'd better be more careful in the future." Zhou said and left.

Han Qianluo shrugged indifferently, walked back and said to Xie Yueyong: "Let's go, it's nothing, but I got engaged two days ago, and they think I should stay at home behind closed doors, and it's better not to see anyone."

"Ordinary people are indeed like this, but I know that Qianluo is different from those people." Xie Yueyong said with a smile.

"I haven't done anything that corrupts morality. I'm not afraid if I sit up straight." Han Qianluo said confidently.

"Yes, you are the most different woman I have ever seen."

The two came to chat and soon returned home. Han Qianluo asked Xie Yueyong to sit in the main hall, while she went in and dragged out a sack of cotton and said, "Look, this is the cotton that was just harvested. What do you think?" How about it?"

Xie Yueyong picked up a ball of cotton and examined it carefully, with a very serious expression.At this time Liu Linchu came in suddenly, Xie Yueyong raised his head when he heard the voice, and saw Liu Linchu who came in was stunned, but it was only for a short moment, and then he returned to his usual appearance, and said with a smile: "You are the one who is knowledgeable." Very powerful Mr. Liu, your lectures are really great."

"Absurd." Liu Linchu replied with a smile, then sat down beside Han Qianluo, and gently brushed off a hair from his clothes. Although he didn't say anything, such an intimate gesture was enough to express all his feelings. mean.

Xie Yueyong also understood what he meant, put the small ball of cotton in his hand back into the sack, and said with admiration: "Yes, Miss Han's cotton is very good, similar to the one I brought back over there, let's talk about it." Let's cooperate."

Han Qianluo noticed the change of Xie Yueyong's address, but she didn't care, hesitated and said: "But you also know that my family has very little land, so I can only grow some for my own use, and I can't do other things at all. .”

"I understand this naturally, but you don't have to worry about it. I have a lot of land. If we cooperate, we will definitely be able to make a lot of money." Xie Yueyong said confidently.

"Since Mr. Xie, you have the land, you can give it a try." Han Qianluo said, suddenly she remembered a question and this question was very crucial, that is how to spin cotton into cotton cloth, she still remembered the records in the history books of her previous life However, the reason why cotton cloth was not widely used until the Ming Dynasty was because of the invention of the textile machine for spinning cotton cloth.

Xie Yueyong also noticed the change in her expression, so he quickly asked: "What's the matter, Miss Han, do you have any questions?"

"There is indeed a problem. I just remembered that this cotton has been grown, but how to weave it into cotton cloth?" Han Qianluo asked directly.

"You don't have to worry about this. I found someone who can weave cotton over there, so Miss Han doesn't have to worry about this." Xie Yueyong said.

Now that he said so, Han Qianluo stopped thinking about this issue: "Then let's talk, how can we cooperate?" She felt that she could only grow cotton, and her family didn't have any land. It's really hard to say, at most he sold the method of growing cotton to Xie Yueyong.

"Miss Han, you are in charge of planting cotton and weaving it into cotton cloth. I will be in charge of selling it. What do you think?" Xie Yueyong asked.

Han Qianluo hesitated for a while, and then said: "Actually, you can organize your own people to do the weaving. Such cooperation is too unfair to you."

After Xie Yueyong listened to it, he laughed and said, "Miss Han is really a sincere person, how about this, what do you think is appropriate?"

"I'll just tell you how to grow cotton. It's actually quite simple," Han Qianluo said.

"That's fine, I'll give you fifty pennies to buy it for you, how about it?" Xie Yueyong said after thinking about it.

Han Qianluo waved his hand and quickly refused, "This is not a technology, besides, aren't we friends, and you have helped me before, don't say that money is not money."

"How embarrassing is this." Xie Yueyong said, but finally accepted it.

Han Qianluo carefully wrote down the method of growing cotton on paper and handed it to Xie Yueyong.Xie Yueyong didn't delay after getting the method, and went back immediately.

After Xie Yueyong left, Liu Linchu said: "Xiao Luo, you are so kind. If it were someone else, you would have to ask for a lot of money. How can you be so kind as you."

"I'm really embarrassed to ask for money for such a simple thing." Han Qianluo explained.

Liu Linchu smiled, and did not continue this topic, but asked: "Xiao Luo, are you going to make these cotton cloths into cotton cloth? Don't you have clothes?"

Han Qianluo shook his head and said, "No, I don't plan to spin it into cotton cloth, I plan to make it into a quilt, just stuff it in the quilt like this, it's very warm, and it can also be made into a cotton coat for winter, which is also very warm."
