Chapter Twenty-Four: Silk
Yun Yao looked at the beautifully made golden hairpin in the box, and she really didn't have any interest at all.
In the interstellar era, an empire doesn't know how many planets it has, Yun Yao herself has a planet for leisure and entertainment, and gold mines are produced on that planet, so to speak, Yun Yao can use gold to build a villa if she wants, and she really can't be interested in gold.
For example, gold, silver, diamonds, gemstones, jade and other substances are really of little use, that is, they cannot be used to make mechas, and they cannot be used for eating, that is, they look beautiful, in the interstellar era, who would be rare these objects.
However, seeing that the Qi family was watching her, Yun Yao couldn't bear to disappoint the family, so she had to cheer up and smile: "It's so good-looking, thank you third sister." ”
Qi Jing also praised: "This golden hairpin should have been bought from the Huarong Pavilion, the butterfly love flower is still made of tired silk, which is several times more expensive than ordinary hairpins." ”
"What's more." Qi Jinzhi picked it up and looked at it: "Tired silk is the most expensive, a tired silk can be worth ten times or even more gold, this hairpin is not only tired silk, but also a little green, I see, just this hairpin is worth more than ten taels of gold." ”
Yun Yao also has some understanding of the prices of the Great Zhou Kingdom these days, and when she heard that this small hairpin was worth more than ten taels of gold, she immediately became anxious, stood up suddenly, covered the box and handed it to the copper lock: "Third sister, this hairpin is too expensive, that is, it is too bad to spend so much money that you can't eat or drink, let's return it, with these ten or two taels of gold, how much fabric can we pull, enough for the family to make some clothes to wear." ”
Qi Gu handed the box to Yun Yao again: "Your third sister will accept it if it is given to you, it doesn't matter if it is expensive or not, just wear it." ”
Speaking of this, Qi Gu praised Yun Yao again: "You are also a person who can live, and I am afraid that you will be able to make careful calculations in the future, but now that you are the new daughter-in-law, you have to dress up brightly, and you can't let people say that the Qi family married a burnt roll and entered the house, do you say that this is the reason." ”
Qi Jinzhi also smiled: "Yes, whose new daughter-in-law is not greased and powdered and dressed in gold and silver, and our family is not unable to afford it, so we can't say that we have treated the new daughter-in-law harshly." ”
Qi Jing took advantage of the moment when Qi Gu and Yun Yao were talking, took out the golden hairpin and helped Yun Yao put it on his head.
The copper lock took a breath of relief: "My brother and sister look so good when they wear it, I originally thought that this hairpin didn't know if it was suitable or not, but now I see it, it's really suitable, that is, my brother and sister, and it's definitely not so beautiful for another person." ”
Yun Yao stretched out her hand and stroked the hairpin, and said with a smile: "Where is it good-looking, it is not as good as the third sister, if you want me to say, the third sister has worked hard to hunt, and she should give herself more good things, why bother with me." ”
"I'm an ugly monster and what do I want these golden jades to do, just take a branch and pull my hair." Copper Lock also touched her black and rough face and bowed her head and said, which was a little sad and dull.
In a word, Qi Jinzhi and Qi Yinzhu also fell silent.
When Yun Yao saw this, she took a few steps and grabbed the copper lock and smiled: "Who said that the third sister is ugly, I look at the best of the third sister, the third sister is tall, the body is good, she can cook and hunt, she is a good hand at living, and the village is calculated, no matter what our sisters do, they are the most powerful, it must be that the people in the village are envious and jealous, and they are not good at seeing people, which is why they are ruining the reputation of our daughter, saying that they are ugly, if the sisters really listen to those people, they will fall into the trap of others, I can't get along with myself. ”
As soon as Yun Yao finished saying this, Qi Jing looked at her with appreciation and gratitude.
Qi Gu also looked at Yun Yao with great emotion: "You are a good person, no one has ever told your sisters about this, no matter who they are, they have always looked down on our family, and they all say that our family is ugly, your sisters...... Alas, anyway, I took your kindness on their behalf. ”
"Mother, I didn't say this because I wanted to comfort my sister, what I said was from my heart, it was the truth, I thought my sisters were very good, I didn't think it was ugly." Yun Yao pointed to the sky and the earth and said solemnly to the Qi Gu clan, almost swearing.
Her actions moved the Qi family, and they almost cried with their heads.
As he was talking, he heard Lao Wu Baozhu shouting outside: "Mother, it's time to eat." ”
Qi Gu patted Yun Yao's hand: "You hurry back to your room and put your clothes away, wash your face, and we'll eat." ”
"Hey." Yun Yao smiled and agreed, and went back to the house.
She walked on the front foot, and Qi Gu pulled down her face and asked Qi Jing: "Fourth, tell your mother what is going on?" Why did you go back today, who didn't live in the opposite moon when they went back, but you came back on the same day, but what did your in-laws say? ”
As soon as Qi Gu asked this, Qi Jing remembered the shamelessness of the Yun family again, and his face became even darker at that time.
"What, what's wrong?" Qi Jinzhi also had a caring face.
Qi Jing lowered his head and told in a deep voice how the Yun family wanted to ask Yun Yao to reconcile with him for money, and wanted to tell Yun Yao about remarrying.
He hadn't finished talking here, and the Qi sisters were almost angry.
Qi Tongsuo, who had always been a little dull and shy, walked out with a calm face, and Qi Gu hurriedly dragged her: "What are you going to do?" ”
Qi Tongsuo said in a sullen voice: "Take a knife and go to the Yun family to cut him." ”
"Yes." Qi Yinzhu gritted his teeth: "Wait for me, I'll take the arrow, damn, let's not toss, the Yun family should be even more inch-inch, dog, you still want to regret receiving so much silver from our family?" A good girl is our Qi family when she marries, she is a member of our Qi family when she is born, and she is also a ghost of our Qi family when she dies, so she can't help his Yun family to be the master. ”
Qi Gu stretched out his hand and dragged the two girls back one by one: "That's your brother and sister's mother's house, where do you toss your brother and sister's face?" ”
Qi Yinzhu became more and more angry: "That's it? There is no such good thing in the world. ”
Qi Jinzhi gritted his teeth, his fists clenched and rattled: "Naturally, you can't just forget it, the Yun family is really a daring lord, and he made up his mind to hit his aunt ** on ......"
With a slap, Qi Gu's palm slapped Qi Jinzhi's head: "Who are you?" ”
Qi Jinzhi thought that the third girl of the Yun family was now his serious brother and daughter-in-law, and at the moment, he was also a little deflated: "Damn, if it weren't for the eyes of my brother and daughter-in-law, the old lady would have to demolish the Yun family." ”
"Fourth, what are you going to do?" Qi Gu grabbed the three girls and asked Qi Jing.
Qi Jing sat down unhurriedly: "It definitely can't be like this, but this matter has to be discussed in the long run, anyway, with this matter, I won't easily ask the third sister to go back to her parents' house, in the future, let's go as far away as the Qi family can be, and if we can not deal with it, we won't deal with it, and wait until I think of a good way." ”
"Alas!" Qi Gu sighed: "That's it." ”
"Don't talk about that." Qi Jing smiled and flicked the corner of his clothes: "Hurry up and eat, the third sister will be in a hurry for a while." ”
After speaking, Qi Jing walked out of the house first, and the remaining few people also followed out of the house, and a few people arrived in the hall unhurriedly, and saw Yun Yao standing at the big round table that had been set up, her eyes staring at the food on the table, her apricot eyes were full of salivation, and her face was full of information about wanting to eat and wanting to eat quickly.
Looking at Yun Yao's face, Qi Jing lost any anger, and smiled and pulled Yun Yao's hand: "So hungry?" ”
Yun Yao hurriedly nodded: "I'm hungry." ”
She looked up at Qi Gu's and trotted over to help Qi Gu sit down: "Mother sit." ”
After that, he served the rice and handed it to Qi Laoniu, who had just come over to sit down: "Dad eats." ”
When the meal was served to Qi Laoniu and Qi Gu, Yun Yao quickly sat down, smiled at Sister Qi Jinzhi, and handed the meal to Qi Jing, Qi Jing smiled and shook his head: "You eat." ”
"Then I'll eat it." Yun Yao was already hungry, and when she saw Qi Jing asking her, she brought the bowl over and drank a mouthful of meat porridge first, and was immediately hooked by the fragrant meat porridge, grabbed a bun with one hand and bit it, and also took a chopstick with chopsticks and a green vegetable with the other.
Although Yun Yao ate quickly, her movements were not rude at all, she didn't say much, she ate almost the food with her head bored, so she slowed down, and from time to time she also gave the Qi family a little food, that porridge, a smile, a compliment, and a busy job.
After eating, Yun Yao covered her stomach and went to find Qi Jinzhi: "Eldest sister, the one you gave me, do you still have that one, I ...... it"
Qi Jinzhi glanced at her with a smile: "Yes, come to my house and get it later." ”
Yun Yao agreed, pouting: "It's really uncomfortable, it's not convenient to bring anything." ”
Qi Jinzhi patted her little head: "Who told us to be women to eat, not all women in this world come over like this, be good, just bear with it." ”
Speaking of this, Qi Jinzhi asked Yun Yao again: "Have you drunk the medicine today?" Your third sister went up the mountain to pick a mallet, and I will boil ginseng soup for you to drink after a while, but you must remember to drink it all, that thing has a good effect on the body, you will know when you use it, our family is not short of these things, what ginseng Ganoderma lucidum you just eat, and it won't take long to raise your body. ”
"Hmm." Yun Yao smiled and agreed: "I listen to the eldest sister, the medicine must be taken, by the way, what will the eldest sister do tomorrow, can you take me if you go out, I am not familiar with our village, I have to go shopping, and the province can't find it when I go out." ”
Qi Jinzhi smiled when he heard this: "Ming'er, I have to go out to chop some firewood, and I have to go to the field to hoe grass, if you want to follow, you can follow." ”
Yun Yao thought for a while: "Then I'll go to the field with my eldest sister." ”
Speaking of this, Yun Yao thought that Qi Jinzhi said that the tired silk was more valuable than gold, she thought that the gold of the Great Zhou Dynasty was a very precious mineral, as if a piece of gold could buy many things, if it was calculated in this way, this tired silk was also quite valuable, she originally wanted to find something to do, first, to earn some money to support the family, and secondly, to get some materials to continue to make machinery, but now, there is some direction.
"Eldest sister, what's going on with this tire, can you tell me?"
Qi Jinzhi heard Yun Yao ask, so he pulled her to sit down and spoke slowly: "This tired silk, that has risen a long time ago, this tired silk to make jewelry, to make some exquisite furnishings are good-looking, however, the tired silk process is too difficult, the top craftsman to pull out a silk with gold is also very difficult, do ten times may not be able to pull out a good silk, because the process is difficult, this tired silk is scarce, but now the peaceful and prosperous world, not only the royal family but also those big families, even ordinary people are also willing to get a tired silk jewelry to wear, As a result, the filament is becoming more and more expensive. ”
