Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 249 Silk
The weather was getting colder and colder, and it was about to enter the most severe winter. Du Xiaoyu was worried that these brassicas would not be able to survive, and remembered Li Yuanqing's suggestion. It was a sunny day, so he asked Zou Luan and his wife to go to the field Irrigate a lot of water, and spread straw on the ground, and don't come back until dark.

But she saw that Qin's family was there, she was busy with the shop, and ran around the village and county, so she couldn't find time to come to their house on weekdays.

"Auntie, do you have time today?" Du Xiaoyu smiled and patted his clothes at the door, and the plaster fell down one after another.

"Look at you, you are dirty again. It's not that my aunt said you. You're going to be the wife of the county owner, and you still run around in the fields all day?" Qin looked at Zhao, "Eldest sister doesn't even talk about her, how can this happen?" The wife of the county mistress? When you marry, you will have to live in the county, and you will be laughed at by others when you come back to farm."

Mrs. Zhao sighed, "Where is she willing to listen? She said that the brassicas were only planted, and she dared not hand them over to others, but had to watch them by herself." Why didn't she say that, she had already told her so long ago, But what can the daughter do if she doesn't listen?
The Qin family was kind, and Du Xiaoyu didn't refute, but just smiled and said, "I haven't married anyway, I know that."

Knowing that she has her own opinions, Qin didn't say any more, and ate some snacks on the table, and when Du Xiaoyu came out after changing her clothes, she said, "Just now I told your mother to find an apprentice for your cousin-in-law. As for the matter, I heard about it from Sister Wu, and there is a suitable candidate, so I will call here tomorrow to show you."

It is a family surnamed Yang, who has business contacts with the Qin family. Their son is nine years old this year, and it seems that he can't continue studying. He is thinking of finding a master to learn the craft.The Qin family told their family that they didn't mind making paper horses at all. The head of the Yang family said that their ancestors sold coffins, and they didn't believe in such evil. Besides, the business of the Lin family's paper horse shop is so prosperous, as long as they can make money, stronger than anything.

"I've met that kid a few times, he's honest, otherwise I wouldn't have introduced him."

Mrs. Zhao nodded after listening, "It's just that Qingzhen is looking for an apprentice, and he needs to come and see."

"That's natural. I'll tell you something. Sister Wu will talk about it later. You have agreed to send me a letter. If it's okay, the two families will meet."

Mrs. Qin was about to leave after sitting for a while, and called Du Xiaoyu over before leaving.

She didn't know what Qin Shi had to say, so she followed to the gate of the courtyard.

Qin Shi took out an exquisite box from his sleeve, which was about the size of a palm, but it was carved from mahogany. When he opened it, there was a pair of beautiful pearl earrings inside.

The pearl is light yellow, has a very lustrous luster, and is not small. Even if Du Xiaoyu doesn't know pearls, she can tell that they must be very valuable. She can't help but frown, guessing that Mrs. Qin sent this over reason.

"I bought it once I saw it. I didn't even want to wear it myself. Now that you are getting married, my aunt will give it to you." Qin shoved the box into her hand, her eyes were red, "Look at it!" Now that you have grown into a big girl, my aunt doesn’t have a daughter herself, so she treats you like a daughter.” She patted Du Xiaoyu’s hand, “I didn’t dare to let your mother see it just now, I’m afraid it’s because of her temper. I'm willing to ask you to accept it, but it's because of your credit that my aunt has lived so well these years, so this thing is really nothing."

Du Xiaoyu couldn't help being moved when she heard this, Qin's gradually getting acquainted with her actually started from interests at the beginning, she is shrewd and loves to calculate, so Du Xiaoyu thought she sent the earrings because of some request, but it turned out not to be.

Some people get along for a long time, no matter what the previous purpose is, they will still develop true feelings in the end.

Seeing that she had put it away, Mrs. Qin laughed, then turned around and went home.

Du Xiaoyu didn't lie to Mrs. Zhao, anyway, she would be found out when she wore the earrings. When she heard that Mrs. Qin gave them, Mrs. Zhao couldn't help being surprised, "I asked you to go out to give this away? Sister Qin is too polite. Where can such a precious thing be found?"

"I've already accepted it, and Aunt Qin also gave it to her sincerely. If she doesn't accept it, she will definitely be unhappy." Du Xiaoyu showed the earrings to Mrs. Zhao, "It's really beautiful, I'll wear this one day... "

Mrs. Zhao nodded her head, "Forget it, anyway, her grandson is still young, we always have a chance to reciprocate."

That's what it means, Qin's grandson is only seven months old, and there will be a lot of things to do in the future, so they always need their family's help.

In the blink of an eye, it will be the New Year, and the private school has also given the students a holiday. The family has marinated a lot of bacon and bacon, and hung them in rows under the eaves, full of festive atmosphere.

In normal times, Huang Ligen would have taken a few kids out to play, but now he looked sleepy and couldn't get any more energy out of him. Du Xiaoyu was just wondering, Du Wentao came over and said, "Sister, can you Can't you go and look for Sister Ruan?"

Why did you mention Ruan Yu?She asked, "Why?"

"Brother Ruan is leaving, second cousin is reluctant."

Ruan Xin is leaving?Du Xiaoyu was taken aback, "Did you hear it with your own ears?"

Du Wentao nodded, "Yes, Brother Ruan came to say goodbye to us, saying that their family is moving to the capital again."

No wonder Huang Ligen behaved like this. Although he met Ruan Xin in a fight, he gradually developed feelings for him in a private school. Although Ruan Xin didn't come recently because of Ruan Yu's relationship, he could leave as soon as he said he would. Adapting is also normal.

It was unexpected that Ruan Yu would return to the capital, but after thinking about it carefully, since her shop was closed once, the business has gone from bad to worse, and there are often gossips. Among them, is it really because of this reason that she returned to the capital?
At this time, Du Wentao sighed like a little adult, "Brother Ruan is crying, and he doesn't seem to want to move away, sister, can you ask sister Ruan if you don't want to leave?"

How is this possible?Du Xiaoyu bent down and stroked Du Wentao's hair, "Wen Tao, they must have their own reasons for leaving, and we can't hinder others. Think about it, our eldest sister also went to the capital with her brother-in-law? Both father and mother Didn't keep her, let alone Ruan Xin is not from our family?"

Thinking of Du Huanghua, Du Wentao's clear eyes showed yearning, he gradually grew up, and he could already leave memories in his mind, after a while, as if he had figured it out, he said, "Then father and mother also miss eldest sister, don't they? But I can't tell her not to go."

Du Xiaoyu smiled, "Your second cousin just feels sad for a while, and he will be fine in a few days." Her voice became more gentle, this brother is kind-hearted, and he will care about others at such a young age.

While the two were talking, Du Xian's voice came in, "Xiao Yu, Xiao Jin is here."

Li Jin brought a few more bolts of fabric, saying that he wanted them to make clothes for a few children, but in fact it was not specially for children, it was enough for the whole family.

"Oh, I told you not to bring it here again. Look, we are all wearing new clothes. Where can we finish wearing them?" Du Xian took Li Jin's hand, "It's just so much money, and the family doesn't wait to use it. How can you do that?" If we do, we'll be embarrassed."

Du Xiaoyu laughed, "Yeah, let's forget it this time, don't take it again next time, or don't blame me for falling out, and tell you to pay back the money earlier!"

Li Jin was told by the two of them to promise not to bring it next time, so he was invited in for tea.

"I wanted to come here some time ago. Later, a customer ordered a batch of fabrics. I didn't feel at ease to go and buy them myself. Only now did I have time to come." Li Jin explained.

After Mrs. Lin invited her to dinner that day, she never saw Li Jin again. That day, Du Xiaoyu guessed Mrs. Lin's plan, so she told Li Jin everything as soon as she entered the house, and asked him to take advantage of the fact that the surveillance person hadn't arrived yet. , and quickly withdrew from the house, and Lin was in vain.

"Are you going to talk about Lingcheng?" Du Xiaoyu said, she told Li Jin about the silk in Lingcheng last time, but he didn't expect him to listen to it, and asked a lot of things, but she couldn't answer them.

"I went to Qidong County to purchase this time, but I think the silk business is really worth doing. No wonder so many merchants will go to Lingcheng to buy silk and process it themselves. Selling it is not a price."

That's huge profits, Du Xiaoyu naturally knew it well, and thought for a while, "It's just that there are so many people doing this business now, it's still difficult if you don't have connections, and besides, where can you find someone who is proficient in this textile technology?"

When Li Jin talked about this, he was a little worried, "That's the problem, but I heard something this time. It turns out that some wealthy people use silk quilts. I heard that the quilts are softer than those made of cotton. How much is not affordable for ordinary people.”

Silk quilt?Du Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows. This quilt is also very expensive in later generations, especially in the following years, the price has been soaring. It is not easy to buy authentic ones, unless you spend a lot of money. Unexpectedly, there are people here who use them.

Du Xian listened to the conversation between the two of them, and interrupted, "Silk quilts? This is the first time I've heard of it."

Li Jin laughed, "I haven't seen it either. It's only used by royal relatives, or very wealthy people. I just don't know how to make it." I thought, since silk is light and soft, it must be comfortable to cover my body, so I came up with the idea of ​​starting this business.

This is a big problem. Although Du Xiaoyu also thinks it is a good idea, it can be made into a silk quilt. This is a technical job. Let alone the purchase of silk, let's talk about the inner tube wrapped with silk. study carefully.

"That's good, but who can do it? Is there such a workshop in Qidong County?" Du Xiaoyu asked.

Li Jin shook his head, "It doesn't seem to be there, but there are in the capital. I just want to ask you. You have always been well-informed. If you can do this, you will naturally have to ask again."

Du Xiaoyu couldn't rush to a conclusion, "I'll think about it again."

He sat for a while, and then left. Du Xiaoyu could tell that he wanted to cooperate with her in this business, but this matter is still too complicated, unlike raising rabbits and growing herbs, etc., which she can do independently Yes, it will take a lot of energy and time to do this...
