Chapter 70: The Great Aunt Comes to Work Too

Hanzhou hasn't gone out these days, it's the cat at home. One is to experiment with batik, and the other is that the eldest aunt is here, and it is inconvenient to go anywhere.

It's really embarrassing for my aunt to come this year. In summer, I wore thin clothes, for fear of embarrassment in front of others, so I had to nest at home. She's okay, the economic conditions are better, put some cotton cloth, and change it, wash it off or throw it away when it's dirty, and I don't know how those women with poor economic conditions get it. What can I do if I don't even have paper to go to the toilet? It's pathetic to think about.

It was hot, and I remembered the shower that the jujube made for her, when the water was thin and slippery, the yard was warm, and occasionally a light breeze swept over her body, like a naughty flirtation.

Now no one cares about her, and she can't get it herself, so she has to buy a bath bucket and use it. Living alone has this advantage, and when you want to wash it, you can go in and soak it. It is inconvenient for those girls who live with their families, like a few plants in Sister Artemisia's house, how to wash them? How to change it?

If the material conditions are poor, people will not have dignity in life, and they can only settle. Therefore, it is said that we should take economic construction as the center, and what Old Man Deng said is absolutely reasonable.

In order to live a dignified life and feel a little less uncomfortable, Hanzhou began to lie on the kang table and draw small shirts.

She had never used a wax knife, and watching others and making it herself were two different things. It was hot, but she made a fire to melt the beeswax. Sitting on the kang, the kang table was moved to a place close to the stove, a large pot of water was placed in the pot, and an iron basin floated on the water, and the basin was melted beeswax.

I used the brush to order some petals, and I thought it was okay in this season, and the wax on the brush didn't solidify so quickly. If the temperature of the room is low, or the movement of the hands is slow, the brush really cannot be used.

She had a wooden board in the middle of the garment, or the beeswax would penetrate and stain the layer on her back. When all the wax on it was dry, she turned her clothes over, applied another layer of wax to the original pattern in the place where there was batik, sealed both sides with wax, and soaked the whole in a dye pot. In the middle of this, she put some alum in the pot, which was used to fix the color.

When painting the brush, pay attention to three alum and nine dyeing, but also to play a role in fixing the color, always look so bright. In the past, when I watched the Miao people dyeing cloth, they said that salt was put in it, and the effect of salt was similar to that of alum.

This time, she wanted to dye it purple. She doesn't have to try the blue one, it's all very mature technology. The dye she used was the purple flower she picked yesterday. It may be that the soaking time is short, or the flowers are not easy to color, but when they are dry, they are very cute lilac, which is the color suitable for summer.

She put the garment in hot water again, let the wax on it melt with heat, and then quickly pulled it out of it, and then used warm water to remove the remaining color from it. Then hang up and dry in the shade. She was reluctant to be exposed to the sun, for fear that she would not look good after the sun, and she really had no confidence in this temporary dye.

It looks like the color fixing effect of alum is very good, but it has lost a little bit of color. It may drop a little bit in the future, but it shouldn't be that serious.

Ah, it's so tiring to work! Such a dress tossed her for a day, how expensive it has to be sold to be cost-effective!

It is no wonder that the price of handmade products is stronger than that of machine-made goods, and it is too difficult to improve production efficiency.

Hanzhou was lying on the kang , oh my God, he had to lie on the kang on this kind of day, but there was really nowhere to lie except for the kang. If you have an induction cooker or alcohol lamp, you can make batik a fun and easy thing, but what are you doing when you have an induction cooker? At that time, I was busy researching the certificate. Now that I think about it, it's not interesting at all. It's just that the electric fan and bathroom at that time were very nostalgic.

Of course, what I miss the most is the child sitting in his arms and reading together in an air-conditioned room. How gentle the light in the room is!

The child's hair is fragrant.

……

In the past few days since I came to my aunt, Hanzhou has experimented with three colors. Purple, blue and yellow, now the wax knife is easy to use, the dyeing time and the intensity of the color are more mastered, and the proportion of alum is also about the same. But these are very subtle feelings, I really want to write them down, or tell Sister Artemisia's family, she is really afraid that she can't say it clearly. You say that half a day, or a cup of tea, how long is it, different people have different masters. It's good that it's just dyeing clothes, not launching a space shuttle.

The great aunt finally left, she soaked herself in the big wooden barrel, her smooth and delicate skin blooming in the water like a flower after the rain, and finally knew that happiness was textured, lazy, gentle, soft, and shining with a bright light when she raised her hand, even if the small light shone through, it could refract the cascading colors.

She was absent for several days, so Fusu was looking everywhere. The Li Si family must be there, but the identities of both parties make it impossible for him to come to the door easily. This made him very angry. If you marry home, how can this happen?

He had already asked Mu Mu to send a large cart of white Guanyin soil to the pottery shop, only to say that Miss Xiaohan asked him to send it. The boss should be asked, what is it to order this time, and Mu Mu can't answer, so he just says that he will wait for Miss Xiaohan to come.

It doesn't work hard to smash the mud and wash the mud. The return of his son made Ying Ren very happy, but the noble son's attendant sent something, which made him very worried. He told his son about his fears. The son has grown up, and the conversation between them is a conversation between men, and there is no need to hide it.

He shook his head, crying and laughing. It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry. It took him a long time to get his father to understand what kind of woman he wanted. To understand it in a 21st century mind, he wants the woman to be an experimental assistant in the same laboratory, not a professor who assigns him experimental topics and examines experimental procedures. Xiao Han is that professor. Of course it means this, and he can't be that expression.

Miss Xiaohan is of course good, but he doesn't want a woman who can only look up and can't have it. That noble boy has intentions, that is because he is bold enough. Whether it can be done in the end depends on his luck. He didn't want to try it himself.

Ying Ren probably understood it, and felt that it was a pity that such a good foundation had not been developed. But it's a pity that after that, I felt that my son had really grown up and knew clearly what he wanted, so as not to take a detour and waste his efforts.

When Xiao Han finally appeared in front of Fusu, Fusu was angry. He thinks about her every day, and he takes what she says seriously, but it's so difficult to see her. It's harder than climbing to the sky!

He couldn't help but say this resentment in a weird way: "Yo, the girl finally appeared, I thought I went around the sky to report the people's situation to the Emperor of Heaven." ”

Han Zhou wanted to laugh when he heard it, how could this tone not match his identity! What a bad boy!

Her expression made Fusu even more angry, could it be that his appearance was ridiculous?

Hanzhou hurriedly coaxed him, but how? I can't tell him that my aunt is here, and it's inconvenient to go out. So how do you say that? In desperation, the lie blurted out: "I'm sick." Can't go out. ”

Fusu stopped being angry for a moment, and looked her up and down eagerly. "You're sick, why are you sick, are you so sick? Have you seen a doctor? Does Lees' family take care of you? ……”

The series of questions was still very moving, and Han Zhou's heart was suddenly wet with light rain. The dust was pressed down, and there was a faint smell of earth in the air.

There are people in Xianyang who care about her so much. She couldn't bear to worry him, so she stood on tiptoe and whispered to Fusu's ear, "Don't worry, women are sick for a few days a month." It's good to be done. With that, he turned around, lowered his head, and stopped looking at him.

He's also a married man, so he should understand.

However, I still tell people about it. What a shame!

Fusu was stunned for a moment, and immediately squib. It's really true that people are forced to say everything! Why is he a twenty-** person, so frizzy?

"Well, are you okay now?" As soon as the words came out, Fusu regretted it, why did he mention this stubble?

Han Zhou shook his head and didn't look at him. The heart said, this man really can't talk.

"Hey, I'm just worried about you, I'm afraid that something will happen, and you don't even have a messenger by your side."

"Hmm." Hanzhou's voice was like a mosquito humming.

"If only I could fly in without passing through the gate of the Li Mansion. Otherwise, if you move out and come to me, I won't worry much. ”

Hanzhou didn't squeak, and it was impossible to move to him. Her heart is still undecided. The significance of moving to him is too obvious. After thinking about it, she said, "There's a way for you to fly in." ”

Well? Fusu was taken aback, she has a way to do this kind of thing? Is this still human?

Han Zhou glanced at him, this person is really uneducated. Royal education is so disappointing. "Let's keep a bunch of carrier pigeons," she said. ”

"What? Homing pigeon? Fusu's expression was dazed.

Haven't carrier pigeons appeared in this era? Han Zhou looked at Fusu suspiciously.

In the story of the Hongyan biography, the envoy of the Han Dynasty said to the Xiongnu Shan Yu that when our Han Dynasty emperor was hunting, he hunted a wild goose, and a letter was tied to the goose's leg, saying that our Su Wu was grazing sheep in the swamp area on your side, and he was not dead. Shan Yu listened, so he had to let Su Wu back.

She can't train geese now, can she? People can only train carrier pigeons, and I heard that carrier monkeys can also be trained.

Far away, let's talk about carrier pigeons.

Hanzhou said: "We train the pigeon to be a messenger, and Childe wants to know if I am okay and can let the pigeon fly to my door, and I write a strip of cloth and tie it to its leg, and it will fly back to find Childe, so that Childe is relieved." ”

When Fusu heard this, he looked at Han Zhou angrily: "It's so troublesome, you have to train pigeons in order to know your news?" It's good if you marry me? I see you every day. ”

Han Zhou looked at him calmly for a while, and sighed lightly: "Marriage is not about buying vegetables, just pay for it." ”

Fusu's neck was stalked, and it seemed that he wanted to get angry, so he endured it.

Han Zhou said: "We train pigeons, not only for you and me to contact conveniently, in the war, after the information of the two armies is interrupted, the pigeons will deliver the news in time for others." ”

Fuju looked at her suspiciously, this is a lie, right?

Han Zhou ignored his unfriendly eyes, she looked up at the sky, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was really necessary to do this. A few years later, Fusu received the false decree of death, and without any doubt, he raised his sword to kill himself, and if the real news arrived in Fusu's hands before the arrival of Zhao Gao's cronies who announced the decree, the result would have been very different.

Thinking of this, Han Zhou said: "Gongzi is worried about General Meng Tian who is fighting in the front, right? Do you miss Li You who fought with you? With the help of these pigeons, Childe can keep in touch with them often. They are faster than the fast horses of the station. And, if there's something you don't want to be known, it's a secret channel of communication, and it's more reliable than a caravanserais. ”

Fusu still couldn't believe it, frowned and asked, "Is it really reliable?" ”

Han Zhou said: "It's really reliable. The pigeon has good directionality, it has a natural homing instinct, we have trained it so that it can fly far, far away, thousands of miles away. ”

"Thousands of miles away?"

"Yes, thousands of miles away, there are people who train them to compete with other people's pigeons, and the prize money is very high."

"In your hometown?"

"Yes. In my hometown. ”

Liangzi has been compared with others, and has won the second prize in the municipal competition. He failed the college entrance examination for the first time, and obsessed with playing pigeons is a very important reason, in fact, he is very smart and very studying, but the project he studied is not a college entrance examination subject, and God will not help him.

Hanzhou was always annoyed by him at that time, and he sat at the same table and kept talking about pigeons. I wanted to change my seat, but the teacher didn't agree. He was also a little proud.

Now, he's in Heaven, right?

What about me? I'm in Heaven, right? There is a Great Qin Dynasty in the Kingdom of Heaven, and history has been carefully rehearsed.

……

"Xiao Han, what's wrong with you?" Fusu asked thoughtfully.

Han Zhou came back to his senses, shook his head, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm just worried that I can't train well, but we should all be training and playing, okay?" When I was in my hometown, I didn't make tofu, I didn't fry thin crispy, I didn't do tie-dye, but I made it all, and porcelain was difficult in my opinion, but it was also relatively successful. So, I want to try this too. ”

"Do you really want to try?"

"Really want to try! My chickens are all dead, so I'll be a few more companions. Maybe if I succeed in training, you won't have to rush to get angry. Every day you know that I am alive and well. ”

"I'm still in a hurry, and I won't be in a hurry if you marry me."

"The prince is cheating!"

"The little woman is a liar! If you don't get married, you will become an old girl. ”

"Small!"

"You're small!"
