Jinxin

Chapter 92
There is a saying in the folklore: "Sister-in-law, don't be greedy, after Laba is the new year. 23, sticky melons; 24, sweep the house; 25, make tofu; 26, stew white meat..." The 26th of the twelfth lunar month is the day of stewing white meat .

Since early in the morning, Yunniang Ruan Yunsi Biqiu Zhongxiu has been busy, putting a large piece of pork and bones into two large pots to simmer, and the stove is full of firewood. It is conceivable that the two big The bones in the pot must be steamed until the skin is crispy and the bones are rotten. Before noon, the fragrance will be everywhere.

Ruan Yunsi likes to eat skin jelly, so she made a pot with pig skin in advance, and now it has turned into trembling pig skin jelly. It was steaming on the stove, and I thought that I would tear up two more rows of meat at noon, and I would be able to make do with it.

While she was busy, she suddenly heard someone shouting outside the courtyard. It was Wang Biao's voice. Ruan Yunsi hurried to open the door, and saw several large carriages outside.The little grandpa is too careless, and now he sent me new year's goods, and there are so many, we can't finish it even if we eat for three years, you...how can you have such a strong reason for giving things?

Wang Biao saw what she was thinking, so he said with a silly smile: "Don't worry, girl, this is not a new year's product, it is a jacquard machine that our master asked someone to buy for the girl from Jiangnan Weaving. The master said, the girl has that...that What... what is the ambition of the bird... Strange, what is the bird? I clearly remembered it at the time, but why have I forgotten it now?"

Seeing that Wang Biao was only scratching his head and forgetting what he was about to say, Ruan Yunsi couldn't help but couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly said, "Brother Wang is talking about great ambitions, right?"

"That's right, that's the lofty ambition." Wang Biao slapped his thigh in joy, and then said with a chuckle, "I made the girl laugh at me as a bastard. It's really because of the Chinese New Year, and the whole house is so busy, and the master is afraid of these things." There was an accident on the Jacquard machine road, so I asked my big boss to bring a few hired carriages and horses to help deliver it. The master said that the girl is a person with great ambitions. Although the two Jacquard machines are currently Enough is enough, I'm afraid it won't be enough in the future, so I simply bought you a few more, these things are not cheap, and the master said that if the girl has no money left, she will return it to the master slowly in the future, and there is no need to worry."

Ruan Yunsi quietly looked at the large carriages, watched Wang Biao calling for people to unload the jacquard machines, and counted them. There were three jacquard machines and six high-end looms in total, and Wang Biao handed her a big bag Parts, said with a smile: "The Jiangning weaving officials are very flattering to the master, saying that these things can be rotated with the parts on the loom. By the way, there are special leno weaving machines and velvet weaving machines in these looms. There are many kinds, my father is too busy now, I don’t have time to come here, and said that I will tell the girl when he has time.”

Ruan Yunsi stood in front of the two miscellaneous rooms, looking at the nine looms that crowded the room to the brim, if she said her heart could still be as still as still water, that would be a lie.She let out a deep breath, looked at Wang Biao and said, "Please guard Wang to go back and thank the young master for me. I understand all these things. This time, he really helped me a lot."

Wang Biao was surprised and said: "What? You understand? This...Is this impossible? Our little father-in-law is the most intelligent and wise, but he also learned from those officials for two full days. The officials also said, this is What kind of theory, if you really want to get started, I don’t know how long it will take to hone it, girl, you know it all?”

Ruan Yunsi smiled and said: "Yes, I know everything. Did your master go to Jiangnan to buy this on purpose? Although he is proficient in both literary and martial arts, it is really difficult for him to learn this thing."

Wang Biao said with a smile: "No, it just so happens that the Duke's mansion and the palace also need to buy some new year's goods. Because of the fact that there is a girl, I took the initiative to invite Ying, and came and went in a hurry. I called back and forth in less than 20 days and followed my grandfather. The other monkeys were all exhausted and lay down, only Lao Wang and I were in good health. When I went to the south of the Yangtze River, I mostly stayed in the inn to guard things. "

While talking, those drivers unloaded a few more bags from the car. These were the New Year's goods for Ruan Yunsi.Even the family didn't come over, but they hired a car dealer, which shows how busy the Duke's Mansion is now.

Ruan Yunsi clenched her fists tightly, she felt that her heart and mind were filled with the crooning smile of that outstanding man, and even a trace of regret grew in her heart, she knew this was a dangerous signal, absolutely unacceptable.

"I wonder how much these looms cost in total?"

Even with 5000 taels of silver in hand, Ruan Yunsi is not confident at the moment. How can one of these high-end looms cost hundreds of taels of silver?That 5000 taels of silver is really not enough to see, that is Su Mingxi, if someone else has money, they may not be able to buy these. Jiangning weaving is a real government office, and it is a monopoly in weaving and dyeing. No matter how much money the people have, they can't get in the door of others.

"Hey, they don't have much money, and they don't use much of this jacquard machine. It's not interesting to weave thousands of pieces for two patterns, so these are all in the warehouse. I heard that the little grandpa If you want to buy it, you immediately took it out, but the Jiangning weaving officials can say that if Miss Ruan can weave novel brocades, she will give them a piece of the pie. Of course, you don’t have to take this seriously. Hehe!"

Ruan Yunsi knew in her heart that the Jiangning weaving officials did not really want to get a share of the pie when they said such things to Su Mingxi, but they did not believe that folks could weave those intricately crafted brocades. The largest Guiyun Xu family, There are only a few tricks, and there have been no other talented people for so many years, why suddenly a rising star suddenly emerges?The highest-ranking official in Jiangning Weaving is a third-rank official. Can you not be arrogant?
He didn't say this at the moment, but kept asking Wang Biao for the price. Finally, Wang Biao touched his big head and said with a smile: "These looms and jacquard machines cost about one or two thousand silver. Our lord has already laid the mat for the girl, don’t be in a hurry, this is the little lord to buy it, otherwise I’m afraid I won’t be able to buy it for three thousand silver..."

Before Wang Biao could finish speaking, Ruan Yunsi took 3000 taels out of the bank notes she had saved, and said solemnly: "Brother Wang is right, I have already asked my little father-in-law to help me too much with this matter, please don't worry." I can’t ask him to pay any more, here is 3000 taels of silver, and the rest is my gratitude to him, without him, I can’t buy such a good loom.”

Seeing that Ruan Yunsi really took out the money, Wang Biao's eyes were a little straightened, and then he hurriedly shook his hand and said, "No, no, I can get it with one thousand. The master originally said that you can't afford such a money, and you can't do it later." Let’s talk about it later when there are benefits. The girl should know that the master will never ask for this money. If you are really sorry, if you weave such good satin in the future, don’t forget about our master.”

Speaking of this, Wang Biao felt that something was wrong, and quickly explained: "Oh, that... I don't mean anything else, that is... we... our master also has family members, right? The girl's cloth they use It's all right, in the future you really weave good fabrics, don't forget to give some to the little grandpa, let him take it back, and you can also please the wives and girls.

Pushing back and forth, Wang Biao finally insisted on only accepting 1000 taels of silver, probably because he was afraid that Ruan Yunsi would give more money. It was almost noon, but the big man refused to eat a bite of the meal, and fled after getting on the horse. Yun Niang I asked him to bring some snacks, but he refused, and disappeared without a trace.

Ruan Yunsi saved the rest of the money, went back to the room and looked at the full looms, now the room is full again, there is only one small path for Zhong Nan to go to bed on the kang, she has a lot of looms After touching it, seeing Zhong Xiu and Bi Qiu Yunniang showing curiosity, they pointed to those looms and introduced them: this one is for brocade weaving, this is for weaving sara, this is for weaving velvet, and there is another loom that is even rarer. Ruan Yunsi took a closer look at it, and remembered that during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there was a fabric duoluo that was tributed from foreign countries. It was always a very precious tribute. If you think about it, this loom can also weave it. In addition to silk, linen and other materials, wool is also needed, but there is very little wool in Lushui City, so you have to go to a special raw silk shop in the capital to get in.

"After the Chinese New Year, let's build a few rooms in the backyard and use them as utility rooms." Sensing the small space, Ruan Yunsi immediately made a decision. Seeing the excited and confident expression on her face, everyone couldn't help but be filled with joy. I just feel that the days ahead seem to be getting more and more exciting.

Let's talk about Su Mingxi, he has been very busy recently, and his trip to the south of the Yangtze River is not in vain, he has to take care of the New Year's goods and tributes in the palace and in his own mansion, not to mention, there are also gifts for the lord's family, many Walking down from the house, he only lost his legs, and didn't return to the mansion until evening, but passed by Zhongxin Hou's mansion, and saw Ruan Siqi coming out of the mansion, which was strikingly similar to the scene on the evening of the first day of last year.

Su Mingxi had no choice but to get off the horse. Fortunately, there were two bags immediately, which were soft satin fabrics brought back from the south of the Yangtze River, which was considered rare in Beijing. Because he left many houses, these two gifts were left behind.

Ruan Siqi sincerely invited him to enter the mansion, and Su Mingxi also felt that the grievances between the two mansions should be resolved. Speaking of which, Ruan Mingxiang was ignorant, and Lord Zhongxin also lost a daughter. Wouldn't he feel pain and hatred in his heart?Thinking of this, he ordered Sao Shu to carry the two bundles and went in with him.

Zhongxin Hou Ye heard that Su Mingxi had passed through the mansion, he was overjoyed and greeted him in person, followed by Mrs. Tong, Mrs. Hou who is now the continuation, several people came to the hall and took a seat, and within a few words, Madam Tong came He tried his best to invite Su Mingxi to stay for dinner. Because Su Mingxi was worried about Wang Biao going to Ruan Yunsi's place, he didn't know how things would go, so he declined naturally. However, Mrs. Tong was so enthusiastic, and he gave her a wink regardless of the faithful Marquis. With a smile on his face, he said: "No one in the capital doesn't know the character and talent of the young master? On weekdays, we female relatives gather together and only say whose child is blessed to be your wife. Alas! It's all because the third girl in our family is withdrawn. A good marriage has caused her all these turmoil for no reason, and made the little father-in-law far away from our house. This is because we are sorry for you. Fortunately, you have a lot of adults, otherwise If it is someone else, I am afraid they will hate us for the rest of our lives."

　After many years, the little prince finally stepped into the Zhongxinhou's mansion again, hehe!At this point, the plot is slowly unfolding, and it will become more and more exciting in the future! Please give your full support and continue to ask for monthly tickets! ! !
