"What is the love silk?" asked Zhou Tong.

Su Xiuxiu said: "Love silk is a kind of silk thread unique to our Su family, have you heard the story of the farmer and the crane? The farmer accidentally saved a crane, in order to repay the farmer, the crane became a beautiful woman and the farmer married, she will turn into a crane at night to spin silk to subsidize the family, it is inevitable to leak the heavenly opportunity, the crane specially told the farmer not to peek, but the farmer could not bear the curiosity in his heart, peeked at the crane, the crane spread its wings and flew away sadly. ”

This story is almost a household name, Zhou Tong has naturally heard of it, Su Xiuxiu will suddenly mention this, it should be some relationship between the crane and the love silk.

Su Xiuxiu pulled her long hair and said with a smile: "At the beginning, the farmer was the ancestor of our Su family, and after the crane flew away, he left a textile machine, and legend has it that the tears of regret fell on the weaving machine, and he was still taking care of the farmer after the crane flew away. The silk thread spun by that loom is love silk. ”

"With such a fairy fate, no wonder the love silk is so precious, that textile machine should be rarely used. Zhou Tong said with emotion.

Su Xiuxiu nodded and said: "Precious is precious, but the love silk is precious not because the textile machine cannot be used easily, but because there are fewer and fewer people who can weave love silk, and the existing dozens of love silk are still left more than a hundred years ago, and in this hundred years, no one can weave a horse, even an inch of love silk, so it is precious." I'm afraid it's not appropriate to use it for personal use. ”

Zhou Tong nodded understandingly, and then asked, "Then what if you don't use other silk threads for love?"

"Yes is yes. Su Xiuxiu thought about it, didn't hold it up, and said to Zhou Tong in a real way: "But it depends on your requirements, if your requirements are like the mandarin duck quilt, I'm afraid it won't work, love silk is really much better than ordinary mortal silk, and it is a gap that can't be made up by craftsmanship." ”

Zhou Tong asked carefully: "How far is it?, Miss Su has embroidery, can you give me a reference?"

"Yes. Su Xiuxiu smiled sweetly, and generously took out a handkerchief from her pocket, which was embroidered with lotus flowers, the embroidery was exquisite, the lotus petals were stretched, slim and elegant, and even the water droplets on it were lifelike.

Zhou Tong praised: "Miss Su is skillful. ”

"It's far worse than my grandmother. Su Xiuxiu smiled shyly.

After Zhou Tong looked at it carefully, he shook his head and said, "It's a pity that I can't use it, the aura is not enough." ”

"There's no way around it. Su Xiuxiu sighed, "I'm just an ordinary man, I haven't been able to enter the Dao, so naturally I can't use your aura." Suddenly thinking of the general law, Su Xiuxiu's eyes lit up, and said, "Otherwise, I'll teach you embroidery, how about you embroider a quilt?"

Zhou Tong said with a smile: "When we can learn to get it, it will take ten or eight years, we can afford to wait, Qi Wei and they can't afford to wait." ”

Su Xiuxiu nodded wistfully: "Yes." ”

"What I'm most afraid of is that I don't learn well, and if I don't become an anti-dog, then the gains outweigh the losses. Zhou Tong joked.

Su Xiuxiu was amused, her dimples were deep and shallow, and she said, "You have a delicate mind, if you are willing to learn, you must be very accomplished." ”

"Don't talk about that. Zhou Tong took the topic and asked, "What are the requirements for spinning love silk? Why has no one been able to spin it for so many years? Is it a requirement for skills?"

"Skills don't require much, what is needed is aura, and most importantly, feelings. When Su Xiuxiu heard this, she immediately understood what Zhou Tong meant, and she said excitedly, "By the way, why didn't you think of it just now, instead of letting you learn embroidery, let's try to see if you can spin love silk! Maybe you can spin love silk?"

Zhou Tong said: "Can you use the textile machine for me?"

"Absolutely. Su Xiuxiu said generously, "Use it casually, I can still take this idea." But...... Our Su family is also known for its courtyard corridor in Xiucheng, and the scenery is not bad, do you think Han Qiqing will be interested in coming over to have fun?" Su Xiuxiu winked slyly at Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong couldn't help but laugh, and responded to Su Xiuxiu's hint: "I'll invite Qi Qing to go together." ”

Su Xiuxiu high-fived happily and said, "That's great, thank you Zhou Tong!"

Recently, there is nothing to do in the Han family, Zhou Tong is a rare invitation to him, Han Qiqing agreed without asking much, and when he met Su Xiuxiu, Su Xiuxiu changed her previous temperament, a little restrained and reserved, and the mentality of a little woman when she saw Han Qiqing was very obvious, but it was a pity that Han Qiqing was indifferent to this piece of wood, and politely accosted Su Xiuxiu, but he didn't cross the thunder pool at all, and Zhou Tong who watched it was miserable for Su Xiuxiu, but looking at Su Xiuxiu's appearance, it seemed that he was bound to gnaw Han Qiqing's bone, and Zhou Tong secretly pushed a lot。

All the way from the Chu family to the Su family, the relationship between Han Qiqing and Su Xiuxiu has initially improved, at least there is no longer a Miss Su, and it will be called Xiuxiu instead, provided that Zhou Tong also calls Su Xiuxiu like this, once Zhou Tong changes his words, Han Qiqing will also change his words very strictly, causing Su Xiuxiu to secretly accept a lot of Ling Yuan's eyes.

The Su family is famous all over the world, and it is also in the watery area, but unlike the Chu family, the Su family's water is elegant and dignified, just like a beautiful lady, subtle and gentle.

When Han Qiqing arrived at the Su family, he not only praised: "The style is charming, and it is not funny." Su Xiuxiu said proudly: "Our Su family's garden is no worse than those palace gardens. ”

After a few people visited, Su Xiuxiu took them to the guest room, and that night, the textile machine was sent to Zhou Tong's room.

Zhou Tong was a little surprised in his heart, Su Xiuxiu saw what Zhou Tong was thinking, and said: "I also want to use this matter to drag you to stay here for a few more days, so that I can spend more time with that log, but I can't get over my own level, and I can't worry about delaying your affairs." ”

She uncovered the satin on the loom, revealing a simple and gray old loom, this loom looks nothing unusual, and even shows the vicissitudes of history like an antique, which will make people can't help but wonder if it can still be used, but its key parts are as if they were newly created, the joints are flexible as new, Su Xiuxiu turned the handpan as if it was displayed, and the whole textile machine squeaked and turned.

Su Xiuxiu said: "It's very simple to learn, I'll teach you." ”

Half an hour later, Zhou Tong learned how to use the entire textile machine, Su Xiuxiu looked like she had done a great job, clapped her hands with great confidence, and said, "The textile machine is placed here for you, just return it to me when you run out!"

Su Xiuxiu said with a smile: "You are busy studying this these days, you definitely don't have time to take Han Qiqing around to play, Han Qiqing will be handed over to me, I will definitely not slack off, what do you think?"

Zhou Tong smiled and nodded: "Okay, then Qi Qing will trouble you." ”

"Don't worry!"

After Su Xiuxiu left, Zhou Tong began to weave, the raw materials were brought by Su Xiuxiu, there were several boxes, enough for him to study and squander, all night spent on the textile machine, although the woven cloth has a little aura, but it is not as full of aura as the love silk, almost breaking through the silk surface.

Three days later, there is still no progress.

On this day, Zhou Tong was pondering what the problem was, but he saw that the loom suddenly moved by itself.

He looked at the loom in a daze, as if he had seen the vague shadow of a woman in a cloud of light, the oil lamp dim and the light was very dim, and she sat in the shadows and skillfully woven the silk threads in her hands.

Those silk threads continue to turn into delicate love silks, shimmering with a sparkling luster, like stars in the sky, draped in brilliant starlight.

The woman suddenly raised her head and smiled at Zhou Tong, Zhou Tong subconsciously stood up and walked to the woman's side, but the woman looked at him farther and farther away, even the dim oil lamp became ethereal, leaving only the boundless darkness slowly swallowing Zhou Tong little by little.

Zhou Tong stood in the darkness, knowing that he had his eyes open but he couldn't see anything clearly, the memory of the crane on this loom was interfering with the weaver's mind, and the crane's disappointment with the farmer was like a swamp that pulled the user of the loom into the boundless abyss.

Zhou Tong took a deep breath, simply closed his eyes, groped according to his memory, touched the textile machine with his palm, Zhou Tong began to spin slowly, he was not skilled yet, the movement of weaving stumbled, but he was still weaving firmly.

The scene in front of him changed again, Zhou Tong felt very weak, like a drooping old man holding on to something with his last breath, he spun silk threads in his hands, just like the woman who was smiling at the beginning, but his hands were covered with folds and spots, his skin was crumpled and clinging together, and white hair fell from his head and fell on the loom.

Zhou Tong continued to weave with a firm mind, and the movements of his subordinates were not slow at all.

"Little Crane ......" heard the ethereal voice of the old man in his ears, and the textile machine began to tremble violently uncontrollably, Zhou Tong almost couldn't hold it, and the collision of feelings made Zhou Tong's soul feel greatly shocked.

At first, the old man did not intend to know the secret of the crane, he just wanted to know more about this woman who suddenly made his life bright, but he did the wrong thing that he would repent of in this life, regret filled the rest of his life, and the crane's feelings were even more contradictory, she loved the farmer, but she was disappointed in him because of the farmer's betrayal, so she would change back to her original form and leave the farmer as a punishment, but this was also a punishment for her, she also loved the farmer and left this loom behind.

But this also shows that the two are not firm in their relationship.

Therefore, when future generations use the loom, a little bit of unfirm cognition of their feelings will not be able to weave the love silk, only persistent, unwavering can be able to spin the world's most beautiful and toughest love silk.

Zhou Tong's hand was firmly held on the textile machine, continuously operating the textile machine, the more the textile machine vibrated more and more, and when Zhou Tong was almost unable to grasp it, a hand stretched out from the darkness and firmly held the back of Zhou Tong's hand.

In an instant, all illusions were shattered, and the room changed back to its original state, Ling Yuan's hand grasped Zhou Tong's palm, and the two fingers were on the textile machine at the same time, Ling Yuan hugged Zhou Tong from behind and asked in Zhou Tong's ear, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Zhou Tong moved his wrist, and Ling Yuan also rotated the textile machine with his movements, and this textile machine began to give birth to delicate silk threads under the tacit operation of the two of them, and those silk threads were full of aura, and the whole room was full of brilliance.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and the old lady stood at the door and looked at the grand scene in front of her in surprise: "Love silk...... It's a love ......."

Zhou Tong and Ling Yuan looked at each other and smiled, and continued to weave the incomparably precious love silk.

After spinning out the love silk, Zhou Tong asked Su Xiuxiu how much she needed, Su Xiuxiu ordered a few horses and there was still a lot left, the old lady stroked the newly spun love silk, and was full of praise: "This love silk is better than the one stored in the box, my old woman can still see such a good love silk before she dies, and she has not lived in vain in this life!"

"Grandma!" Su Xiuxiu said coquettishly, "Don't talk nonsense, you have to live a long life and watch my child's child grow up!"

Su Xiuxiu turned to Zhou Tong and said: "According to the rules of the Su family, the love silk is yours, Zhou Tong, you are really amazing, I really didn't see the wrong person." ”

Zhou Tong divided the love silk into two piles, one pile was the number of horses that Su Xiuxiu pointed out to sew the dragon and phoenix quilts, and the other pile was about one-third of the original, Zhou Tong said: "Xiuxiu, these are for you." ”

Su Xiuxiu hurriedly said: "How can this be done......"

Zhou Tong beckoned to her and whispered, "I'll give you a wedding dress." ”

Su Xiuxiu's face flushed, she glanced at Han Qiqing on the side shyly, and nodded tactfully, "Thank you, I have to work a little harder." ”

Zhou Tong encouraged: "The iron tree will bloom soon. ”

Love silk in the Su family, Zhou Tong first returned to City A and briefly explained the situation to Qi Wei, although it is a pity that the dragon and phoenix sewn by love silk fell into the hands of Qi Wei and his wife, but their husband and wife are affectionate, and they can witness the birth of their love crystallization, which is also the creation of the dragon and phoenix quilt.

As for the remuneration, Zhou Tong only asked Qi Wei for the labor fee of the more than 100 embroiderers who sewed the dragon and phoenix quilt, a total of more than 2 million, which was still the price given by Su Xiuxiu's relatives and friends.

Qi Wei was very grateful after learning about it, and directly called five million to Zhou Tong, Zhou Tong did not refuse, and accepted it all, when it comes to the real value of the dragon and phoenix, these five million are not very good-looking, but it is also Qi Wei's intention.

Three months later, the dragon and phoenix were sent to Zhou Tong's store as promised, and Zhou Tong took it to Qi Wei's house and advised: "The Book of Rites says that Lin, Phoenix, Turtle, and Dragon are called the four spirits. The dragon and phoenix quilt can also be used to pray for blessings, bless your family and peaceful descendants, and can assist the gourd to produce seeds. Before bearing seeds, you had better cover this bed with a dragon and phoenix quilt, change it on the same day, and it is best to wash it yourself to show sincerity. The silk threads on the surface of the quilt have aura, and it is also good for your body to cover them all year round. ”

Qi Wei thanked Zhou Tong for his successes and was grateful to Zhou Tong.

As a result, in less than half a year, it only took more than three months for Qi Wei's wife to have news, this time they went to the hospital to check and went directly to Zhou Tong's store to find Zhou Tong to check the situation, after Zhou Tong confirmed it, he said with a smile: "Congratulations." ”

Qi Wei and his wife were ecstatic, Qi Wei was even more excited and shed tears, holding Zhou Tong's hand and thanking him frequently, sobbing uncontrollably.

After sending off Qi Wei and his wife, the phone rang in the room, and Zhou Tong answered the phone, it was Su Xiuxiu's call.

Su Xiuxiu said happily: "Zhou Tong, tell you a good news!"

"What's the good news?" Zhou Tong had actually guessed, and deliberately pretended not to know.

"Qi Qing and I are going to get married, just at the beginning of next month, the invitation will be sent immediately, you go out and have a look now. ”

"Good. Zhou Tongxi said: "Congratulations." ”

After hanging up the phone, someone outside the door came to knock on the door, looking dressed like the Su family, and then remembering Su Xiuxiu's previous phone number, Zhou Tong smiled and said, "Is it an invitation to send Xiuxiu's wedding?"

"Yes. The man made a gesture respectfully, Zhou Tong looked behind him, several people carried a Nanmu box down, Zhou Tong asked suspiciously: "What kind of invitation card still uses such a big box?"

The man smiled, and when he opened the box, there was a quilt with a double dragon play bead pattern, which was even more delicate and dazzling than the two beds they had seen before, and an invitation was placed on the quilt.

Zhou Tong opened it and shook his head with a smile: "This girl." ”

Ling Yuan heard the sound and walked out and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Su Xiuxiu is getting married. ”

Ling Yuan let out an "oh" with little interest, and his eyes fell on the quilt: "This is?"

"She gave it to us. ”

"......" Ling Yuan's eyebrows raised, his eyes changed when he watched the double dragon playing with pearls, and there was a bit of longing in his eyes, the biggest problem that the bed of dragon and phoenix was given to Qi Wei was actually Ling Yuan, Ling Yuan was very reluctant, and he had a little temper with him, so that Zhou Tong almost couldn't get out of bed, now it's okay, Ling Yuan should be happy.

That night, this bed of double dragon play beads came in handy, but unfortunately, it was almost under their bodies, Ling Yuan put on the same posture as the quilt and played with Zhou Tong. 166 Reading Network
