154 Genius
Seeing her being so excited, Su Mingxi was rather surprised, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, no matter how much you ask for the price, I'm just a little puzzled, girl, Master Luo told me just now that the large jacquard machine It requires many people to operate together. Until now, even here in Jiangning Weaving, there are only a few people who can really operate this machine to weave the highest-grade brocade. Concubines are not rewarded, you... can you really use this large loom?"

Ruan Yunsi understood in her heart that it was not that the workers would not cooperate, but that although they had built this loom, they could not fully utilize its characteristics and formulate the most suitable patterns for it, so they could only weave so many looms each year. A few bolts of brocade are like dusting a bright pearl. If this thing is in my hands, it will definitely shine.

It's just that I can't say this to Su Mingxi, so I just said a few perfunctory words, but Su Mingxi sighed again: "If I really bought this loom for you, girl, use this loom to weave For the high-end brocades, please remember to let the Liujin cloth shop pay tribute to the palace. Such brocades are absolutely not allowed to be circulated among the people. Of course, the price will never treat the girl badly. The emperor is richer? Don’t you think so?”

Ruan Yunsi also understood the stakes, and nodded quickly.It was already sunset at the west mountain, and seeing that the sun was about to jump behind the mountain, Su Mingxi suggested: "Why don't we rent a carriage and go back, after walking for a day, the girls are probably exhausted. "

Ruan Yunsi smiled and said: "Really? I'm not tired at all, I still want to see the customs here, Xiu'er, Bi Qiu, if you are tired, you can take the carriage with Mr. Su." After spending a few days in the loom shop, the children were already bored, so Zhong Nan and the little ones didn't come with them today.

Bi Qiu and Zhong Xiu didn't want to complain that they were tired, so they talked while looking around.Suddenly, Zhong Xiu pointed to the side and said with a smile: "Sister, look, this place is really a place of beauty, and it seems that every household has to weave. The big brother is carrying the simplest one, isn't it?" loom."

Ruan Yunsi looked back, and sure enough, she saw a man striding forward with a loom on his back.She took a few glances and said with a smile: "Yes, Su embroidery and Su brocade are very famous...huh?"

Zhong Xiu and Bi Qiu only heard Ruan Yunsi say "Hey", and then saw her turn around and chase after the man. Both of them were shocked and were about to shout, but they saw Su Mingxi holding a folding fan in front of them He stopped, signaling the two to keep quiet, and then followed Ruan Yunsi to catch up.

"Brother, I think your loom is a bit strange."

Ruan Yunsi caught up with the man, pointed to a part of the loom, and said, "The warp beam is very delicate, and it seems to be a bit different from the style of your loom."

The man looked at Ruan Yunsi in amazement, and it took him a long time to say: "You...what are you talking about? What...is there any difference? Isn't it just a loom?" After speaking, he wanted to leave, but saw Su Mingxi didn't know when to stand in front of him, frowned and said: "What does this girl ask you, just tell me honestly, I can't treat you badly."

While talking, he took out a purse and dangled it in front of the man. The man's eyes were also poisonous, and he could see the shape of ingots in the purse at a glance. Greedy eyes shot out from his eyes. After thinking about it, he whispered: "Forget it, anyway, this is actually It's not a secret either, you look like outsiders, no wonder you don't know."

Before he could finish speaking, he snatched the silver from Su Mingxi's hand, and said in a low voice: "Just under the overpass in front, there is a beggar. His family used to make looms for generations, but who knows that he offended a An incredible big shot, the whole family has been ruined, and the original good craftsmen are so destitute that they have to beg along the street for a living. No one in Suzhou city dares to take them in. Since you are from other places, if you can use them, you can use them. Let's take them away, the craftsmanship is absolutely the same. My warp beam was originally broken, and I couldn't fix it in many places, so I went to him to try it. Sure enough, after buying the parts according to what he said, he Just fix it for me."

After the man finished speaking, he left in a hurry. Ruan Yunsi stood where he was, her eyes sparkling, and said softly: "There is such a person? It's strange, who did he offend? He has come to this point, otherwise , With his superb skills, is it our turn to meet him? I'm afraid Mr. Luo has already enlisted him under his banner.

Su Mingxi smiled and said: "Since Miss Ruan said that, why don't we go and have a look?" Seeing that Ruan Yunsi was still hesitant, he knew what she was worried about, so he couldn't help but smile proudly: "Don't worry, girl, don't worry about who he offended. Su Mingxi may not be afraid either."

Ruan Yunsi looked at his high-spirited appearance, he was really chic and charming, she couldn't help laughing: "No wonder so many people like to fight for power and profit, this is the intoxication of power, if Mr. Su is not here today, I'm afraid I will admire him again That person's skills, also dare not act casually."

Su Mingxi rubbed his head, coughed and said in a low voice, "Miss Ruan, is this a compliment? Why do I always feel like there is some kind of praise in the dark?"

Ruan Yunsi was amused by him, but she held back immediately, pretending to be serious and said: "It's a compliment, it's really a compliment, young master, don't worry."

A few people chatted and laughed and came to the footbridge. Sure enough, there was a young beggar squatting there. It was already slightly dark at this time, but he was only staring at a picture on the ground.Ruan Yunsi and Su Mingxi walked up, but Su Mingxi didn't know why, but Ruan Yunsi almost cried out excitedly.

Others can't see the picture on the ground, so how can she not see the clue?It was clearly the pattern of a simple printing machine.Although Ruan Yunsi had seen the jacquard machine before, the printing machine of this era was still in its infancy, and could only print the most crude and simple patterns, and usually it could only be used on linen and Gebu.Ruan Yunsi didn't take printing very seriously just because there was no cotton cloth in this era, but now she saw a prototype of a relatively mature printing machine here, how could she not be excited?
Once cotton cloth is produced in the future, and with mature printing machines, all kinds of cotton cloth can be produced, which is the most suitable market for the common people. No. [-] in the industry, and as the planner behind the scenes, it is definitely not a problem to have a lot of money.

"Miss Ruan, Miss Ruan..."

The voice of Su Mingxi beside him brought Ruan Yunsi back to reality, and he realized that the young man was looking at him in confusion. Although the other party was unkempt and dusty, his eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky. Seeing that Ruan Yunsi finally came back to his senses, he grinned and said cheerfully: "How many copper coins do you want to give away? Hehe, that's great. I only need ten copper coins to make up fifteen copper coins. When the time comes You can buy three or two meters, and you can feed your family a full meal tonight."

"I can give you money, but can you come with me? As long as you come with me, let alone ten copper coins, even one tael of silver a day is not a problem." Ruan Yunsi stared at the young man with glowing eyes, and said, It almost made Su Mingxi vomit blood. If he didn't know Ruan Yunsi's temper well, he would have thought that the woman he had admired for a long time had fallen in love with this beggar at first sight.

The young man was obviously also confused, and said to himself: "Now...is the world so chaotic now? Even women come out to be human traffickers? My mother..."

Before the words could be said, Su Mingxi said displeasedly: "What nonsense are you talking about? What kind of human trafficker? Even if we are human traffickers, who wants to abduct a disheveled beggar like you?"

Ruan Yunsi looked back at Su Mingxi, and said seriously: "Mr. Su, although you are noble, don't discriminate against the people at the bottom. If he washes off the dust well, even if he is not as good as Mr. Su, he should be a vigorous one. lad."

Su Mingxi is so depressed, wondering if Miss Ruan's eyes are so strange?Does she like this?Until now, you still refuse to accept my affection, is it because I am too tidy on weekdays?God, this... is this impossible?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the young man bewildered: "You...what the hell are you doing here? Why don't you just leave without paying me? Don't delay my business."

Ruan Yunsi sneered and said, "Are you ashamed to call it a business? What I just told you is true. I know that your family has offended a big man in Gusu City, and there will never be looms here again." One day, but if you are willing to go back with me, I guarantee that not only will you be able to rebuild the loom, but you will also get enough wealth to spend your entire life, how about it? Come back with me."

These words, especially the last sentence, are too much like what a human trafficker said when he was demagogic.However, the young man's eyes widened for a moment, and he exclaimed: "Loom? You mean...you can let us touch those materials again? Give us a chance to make looms? You...you know that our family has offended us. Who is it? That is Zhen Shangshu's nephew, do you know the two Shangshu Zhen Shangshu? It's his cousin..."

This time it was Ruan Yunsi's turn to be surprised, she blinked her eyes, she couldn't believe that a cousin of Zhen Shangshu could push a family with handicrafts down to such a point?But she immediately remembered that this is not the modern age where talent is the most important thing. In this era, craftsmen belong to the ranks of untouchables, and it is too easy for the cousin and nephew of Zhen Shangshu to crush them to death.

　Aww, ask for a recommended monthly ticket. It’s the end of the month, and I can’t be dragged off the tail of the car. I must struggle to survive, oh! ! !
