Chapter 188: Women weave and men also weave
"There's nothing you can't weave out of this."
Yun Yao pinched a small sand fruit in her hand and played with it, and said casually: "As long as you change the loom, it's not a big deal." â
"Yes, you." Princess Changle chuckled and patted Yun Yao: "It seems that you are so capable, since you say that it is not difficult, and wait for me to get more chicken feathers and bird feathers, you can also weave me a piece of satin." â
Yun Yao threw Sha Guo down: "I don't look down on such satin, what do you have to do with that effort." â
Princess Changle glared at Yun Yao: "I like it, can't I, if you really can weave it, I will give you the famous peony you saw at my house a few days ago, but you can't weave it?" â
Yun Yao thought for a while: "You have been coveting my eight beauty screens for a long time, I can't weave them, so you can ask someone to move them." â
"Okay." Princess Changle was overjoyed, stretched out her hand to high-five Yun Yao, and said to the three Tongsuo sisters: "You can also help make a knowledge, if the third sister can't weave it, don't help her hide the beauty screen." â
Copper lock smiled: "Our sisters are honest people, and we must give the princess a good insight, but if the third sister weaves it, don't hide the princess's peony and don't give it." â
"Not really." Princess Changle and Yun Yao clapped their hands and said with a smile: "Although that peony is excellent, I can't be a person who is untrustworthy for the sake of a flower." â
Yun Yao pointed at Princess Changle and said with a smile: "When you go back, you will collect more beautiful bird feathers, and I will keep it for you to weave a colorful satin." â
Speaking of this, Yun Yao patted her thigh: "I think about this satin, but I can't wear it in summer, but it's good to wear it in winter, it's good to make a cloak and drape it on my body to prevent snow on a snowy day, and to keep warm from the cold, which is quite good." â
Princess Changle thought about it, the bird's feathers were smooth and tight, and the woven satin was really a good thing to prevent wind and snow.
Thinking about it like this, Princess Changle was even happier: "Anyway, what is the value of this transaction, you have to weave it." I'm just holding the peony for satin, if you can't weave it, you will compensate me for eight screens, and I won't suffer if I think about it left and right. â
The maid behind Princess Changle pointed at Yun Yao and said with a smile to Princess Changle: "Slaves have always said that Mrs. Qi is clever and intelligent, and she has never suffered losses. It's just that no matter how smart she is, she can't match the princess, no, a few words of kung fu will trap the princess. I don't feel like I've suffered such a big loss, and I'm still proud there. â
Yun Yao was immediately anxious when she heard this, and said with a red face: "But I made a mistake, I made a mistake, I fell into the princess's radical method, and I lost a lot, I lost a lot." â
She complained about the copper lock again: "Why don't you mention me and ask me to do such a thing that harms the people who have benefited." â
The Copper Lock sisters were extremely innocent, and they only said that they didn't do their own business, and Yun Yao, who was upset, complained again. The laughing Princess Changle couldn't close her mouth.
When Baozhu stewed a pot of chicken soup, a few people could still care about talking and laughing, and they were busy grabbing food.
Even a noble person like Princess Changle couldn't care about identity and etiquette, so he grabbed a bowl of chicken soup with Yun Yao.
I don't know how Baozhu got it, it seems that the cooking skills have been greatly improved, and the stewed chicken soup is simply a rare delicacy in the world, Princess Changle praised it again and again after drinking a bowl, only saying that if Baozhu goes to the imperial dining room, I am afraid that other imperial chefs will jump off the building.
After eating the chicken soup, a few people played for a while before packing up their things and taking the car home.
Wait until Qi Jing comes back in the evening. The two of them knew that Yun Lang's luck was really good, and he actually ran into Emperor Chengping, and Emperor Chengping also helped him recommend official studies, and also helped Yun Jiadian to house.
Although there is something unpleasant in my heart. But Qi Jing and Yun Yao didn't want anything.
No matter how Yun Lang is Yun Yao's brother, even if Yun Yao doesn't have a good impression of the Yun family or Yun Lang, she will not deal with the Yun family herself, if Yun Lang is favored by Emperor Chengping, Yun Yao is quite happy, and she is greatly relieved.
She thought. At least in this way, the Yun family will not bother her, let alone think about what kind of benefits to ask for from the Qi family all day long.
Qi Jing also smiled when he heard Yun Yao say this, too, if the Yun family knew that it was today who helped them, maybe ******** would be on it, where would they take care of these people from the Qi family.
Waiting to finish thinking about these things of the Yun family, the two hugged each other and fell asleep.
In the evening of the next day, the housekeeper of the princess's mansion sent half a cart of all kinds of beautiful feathers, Yun Yao was really surprised to see the half cart of feathers, she didn't expect Princess Changle's mobility to be so amazing, and she collected such a cart of bird feathers in just one day.
With bird feathers, Yun Yao immediately went to improve the loom, she went to the room for a long time to draw drawings, and then went to the studio to make the new loom.
This was done overnight, and Yun Yao lit a number of arm-thick candles in the studio until dawn.
When she came out, she saw Qi Jing wearing a moon-white robe, a thicker cloak on his shoulders, and a thin cloak in his hand waiting outside the door.
Qi Jing had a smile on his face, but the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of concern and worry, and then seeing that his hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes were stained with dew, Yun Yao stepped forward and took the cloak in a few steps: "Have you been waiting for a long time?" â
Qi Jing shook his head: "It didn't take long, and I didn't get up for long." â
Ran Yunyao knew that he was lying, the sun had already risen at this time, and the air was no longer much humid, even if there was some dew between the leaves, but there was not much, the dew on Qi Jing's hair and eyebrows, and the moisture on his body repeatedly showed that he didn't know how long he had been waiting outside the door, and he was afraid that he had already been wet with dew earlier.
"Is the loom ready?" Qi Jing asked with a smile.
Yun Yao nodded and smiled: "It's done." â
Qi Jing stretched out his hand to rub her long hair, and then moved it down, a pair of rough palms moved to her neck, and tied her loose cloak strap tighter: "Get up in the morning and expose it more deeply, you pay more attention, don't catch a cold." â
"Hmm." Yun Yao answered, her nose a little sour.
"But your eyes hurt?" Qi Jing looked at Yun Yao's red eyes worriedly: "You too, your health is not very good, and you have been working hard for so long, I'm afraid your eyes are sour." â
He took Yun Yao's hand and coaxed softly: "I told the kitchen to boil you some ginger soup, and asked the fifth sister to make you a medicinal diet to replenish your body, and after you have eaten, you will have a good night's sleep, and your eyes will not hurt when you rest." â
"I'm fine." Yun Yao held Qi Jing's hand tightly, sniffed vigorously, and put back the tears that were about to fall out: "Don't worry about me, Xianggong, hurry up and go to the yamen, otherwise it will be too late to ask someone to gossip." â
Qi Jing smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, I already asked for leave with Lord Shilang yesterday, and I will accompany you at home for a day today." â
"Really?" Yun Yao was overjoyed, and then worried: "It won't delay the progress of the project, right?" â
"No, it won't." Qi Jing stopped and explained to Yun Yao very seriously: "The project in Nancheng has been planned everywhere, and the budget for several days has also been made, as long as the craftsman does it according to the plan, I will not be as busy as before." â
Speaking of this, Qi Jing finally felt ashamed of Yun Yao: "I was too busy before, and I didn't accompany you for a while, but now I will take a day off and accompany you at home." â
Yun Yao should have been happy when she heard this, but she was a little ashamed: "I'm sorry, I'm ...... Today I am going to try the loom and weave the brocade of Princess Changle earlier. â
Qi Jing didn't have the slightest anger when he heard this, but smiled and led Yun Yao to continue walking towards the main room: "It's okay, anyway, I'm with you, that's it, I'll accompany you to try the loom together, how to weave with you, I won't be left or right, you teach me." â
"Okay." Yun Yao immediately rejoiced, and her steps were much lighter.
After breakfast, Yun Yao drank ginger soup and ate the medicinal food and was about to test the loom, but Qi Jing didn't allow her, so he dragged her into the house to rest for half a morning, and only allowed her to continue working after she had a good night's sleep.
Yun Yao entered the studio, and Qi Jing personally prepared tea and snacks for her and brought them in.
After entering, he saw two strange-shaped machines on the ground in the house, and Yun Yao told him that one was a textile machine and the other was a loom.
The spinning machine is used to spin yarn, spinning bird feathers into brightly colored yarns, and the loom is used to weave cloth, weaving the spun threads into cloth brocade, Yun Yao first tried the loom with silk thread, and then took some broken bird feathers to weave the spinning machine, which is light and flexible to use, whether it is spinning thread or weaving cloth, it is very symmetrical, and the color is good.
After trying the machine, Yun Yao looked annoyed: "It's really confused, I didn't even get a crusher......
On the other side of the room there were a number of bird feathers, all of which were whole, and the fine feathers had to be removed and slightly crushed before the thread could be spun.
But Yun Yao actually forgot to get this kind of machine, which was really too negligent.
Qi Jing saw that she was unhappy and got up and took some feathers and asked her how to crush them, Yun Yao talked about the final effect needed, and saw Qi Jing smile: "It's okay, I'll help you get it." â
Qi Jing squatted on the ground and made two simple things with tools, one was a cylindrical object with two blades in it, and the other was an object that struck up and down like a large garlic mortar.
After getting these two things right, Qi Jing took out the bird feathers and washed them, first put them in the cylindrical object, shook them vigorously, and then poured out the bird feathers after a while, but they were already taken off, and poured these fine feathers into another object and pounded them carefully.
Yun Yao began to continue her work, putting the mashed bird feathers into the spinning machine and spinning them into yarn.
Yun Yao's dry body lĂŹ can't work, but doing such light and meticulous work is extraordinarily dexterous and fast, and after a while, the two of them have worked together to spin a ball of silk thread.
After the thread was spinned, Yun Yao put the thread on the loom and began to weave.
At this time, Qi Jing had already learned to spin, and he automatically took over Yun Yao's work and slowly spun the yarn. (To be continued.) )
