Hanzhou woke up before dawn, and she woke up crying.

She dreamed of her daughter who was jumping rope, she had grown taller, her braids were long, and as she jumped, the braids flew up and down. The daughter counted, laughing as she counted. Hanzhou could hear her gasp.

She called "Dangdang", and her daughter just laughed and didn't stop, and she screamed again, still without stopping. Hanzhou was on fire, and shouted "Dangdang", her daughter didn't hear it, she rushed over in a few steps, and was about to catch her daughter, but she couldn't catch it, she was empty when she grabbed it, and it was empty when she grabbed it, and in the end, she was angry and cried.

……

I don't dream much about children lately.

Did they leave for too long, and they also adapted to life without her?

Han Zhou sat up and looked at the room where the glimmer of light had penetrated. She didn't know what it was all about. What if she painted an entire wall with flowers?

Even if she cried to death in this room, who would find out?

They found out and buried it, and then what to do.

Perhaps, Fusu will be sad for two days, right? However, in just two days, his wives and concubines were in groups!

I'm so unlucky, I finally fell in love with a man, and I still have a wife. It's still a hornet's nest when he speaks!

……

After scolding people in the house for a while, Han Zhou felt much more comfortable. It's like it's better than singing.

went to the stable, led the horse, hugged "Lao Chen" and made love for a while, as if the loneliness in his heart had been driven away. Hanzhou cheered up, she wants to create a new era of clothing printing and dyeing today. She has to take on the responsibility of dressing up the Xianyang women and making them bloom like flowers at a good age.

The person she is looking for today is the eldest sister who weaves straw shoes. The eldest sister's name is Artemisia, so she calls her Sister Artemisia. She is very good, enthusiastic and straightforward, meticulous in her work, and able to endure hardships. The eldest sister has six children, and it is not easy for the husband and wife to raise those children. Her eldest daughter is sixteen, the second daughter is fifteen, and the third daughter is fourteen. Sometimes, looking at those children of the same age as flowers taking care of the whole family's work, Han Zhou's heart was panicked. It seems that before it blooms, the flowers are about to be thanked, and as soon as the eldest daughter gets married, she will have to pull her own children, as if there is no end to such days.

Sister Artemisia is weaving straw shoes under the shade of the tree, she doesn't weave straw shoes and rubs cotton thread rope, or she rubs wool strips, in short, there is no idle time in her hands. Now I have some income to do some work in the Hanzhou store, and I am very grateful to Hanzhou.

Hanzhou sat on the stone beside her and pulled out a few pancakes for her. Sister Artemisia didn't push it, she happily took it, and turned around and called the children in the house. After a while, a group of children came out and snatched the pancakes away, coming and going like a team of horses.

"Boys are so different from girls!" Han Zhou sighed with a smile.

"No! I just made the shoes of the fourth, the fifth is worn out again, the sixth is not broken, but the feet are long, I can't wait to grow eight hands! Artemisia said, and her hands didn't stop. She has practiced it, she is dedicated to two things, and she will not make mistakes in her hands.

"Sister Artemisia, I'll find you something to do, let the eldest child, second child, and third child help you, earn more money to support your family, and your life will be better."

Sister Artemisia's next meal, is this a good thing again? Ever since I met this elegant and handsome girl, good things have been going on.

She said eagerly, "Girl, tell me quickly, see if I can do it?" ”

"If you can do it, let your second child learn from me for a while, and then your family can open a workshop. The boss is okay, but the boss will get married soon, and I'm afraid that it won't last long. ”

"Okay, you can choose whichever you choose, they like your shop. It's just that things are too expensive to afford. ”

Han Zhou smiled, Sister Artemisia has such a cool temperament.

"Those are positioned as luxury," she said. This time it's different, almost everyone can afford it. We do it sooner and make money sooner. ”

Sister Artemisia said eagerly: "Great, can you tell me what we are doing?" ”

Han Zhou smiled, "Sister Artemisia, can you dye cloth?" As long as you can dye cloth. ”

Sister Artemisia looked downcast: "Then why not, how can such a large group of children not dye cloth?" ”

"That's good, sister, let's make money together, in the future, you can make more money than your eldest brother, he has to call you the boss." Hanzhou joked.

"Hey, if you make too much, you can't escape being beaten!" Sister Artemisia sighed hopelessly.

Han Zhou patted her comfortingly and said, "It'll be fine, if the income is good, people's hearts will be smooth." ”

She said yes to Sister Artemisia, and rode around. She had to find the right tools and materials first.

She has indigo at home, and now she has to buy some white cloth, string and beeswax. There are probably no wax knives on the market, but this thing is not too difficult to make, and it should be possible to find a blacksmith shop that does the work carefully.

I walked a street, saw a shop, went in to see, the small objects were very fine. Han Zhou went over to say hello to the old master.

The master had never heard of a wax knife, and Han Zhou described it, but the master was still a little confused. Hanzhou looked around, saw a pile of charcoal from the root of the courtyard wall, went over to take a charcoal strip, and found a flat stone to paint for the master.

This type of knife is made up of two or more thin pieces of metal of the same shape, one end tied to a wooden handle. The knife edge is slightly open and slightly empty in the middle to make it easy to store beeswax. According to the needs of painting various lines, there are different specifications of copper knives, generally semicircular, triangular, axe-shaped, etc.

The reason why this knife is used instead of a brush is that it is easy to cool and solidify when dipped in wax, while a metal knife is easy to keep warm.

Hanzhou only said that it would be okay to make iron pieces and install wooden handles, but I didn't expect the master to say that copper can also be made, so it would be better. In the eyes of the master, this job is not difficult at all.

The master asked her what she was doing with it, and she only said that it was used for dipping in paint, and the master said "oh" and didn't ask any more.

This knife is seen by Hanzhou participating in an intangible cultural heritage event. She stood at the Miao people's stall for an hour, watching people's wax paintings. The man is very skilled, he doesn't make a base draft, he pushes the wax wherever he wants, and the lines are very smooth. The Miao man should be able to understand her words, but he just didn't talk to her, probably thinking that the questions she asked were too naïve and too lazy to pay attention to her. But this technique is really not difficult, the principle is also simple, and for those who have a foundation in art, they can see it.

All that's left is to go back to the experiments. After paying the deposit and making an appointment to pick up the goods, Hanzhou was going to ride back to try tie-dyeing.

Out of the store, someone shouted: "Isn't this Miss Xiaohan?" ”

Hanzhou took a look, isn't this a jade offering?

Xianyu is black and has lost some weight, but his spirit is very good, and his two eyes look very bright. And this person has always paid attention to dressing up, and the whole person looks very magnanimous.

"Sir's demeanor is still the same!" Han Zhou blessed.

"Haha, Miss Xiaohan is beautiful and graceful! I think there are few people in Xianyang City who can stop and linger more than girls. ”

"Mr. said so, then Xiao Han didn't dare to go out after that."

"Haha......" Xianyu laughed and tapped his finger a few times. In front of the girl, I won't say anything else, but this word of thanks has to be said. Girl, can you give me a chance to treat me and let Xianyu express this thank you well? ”

Han Zhou shook his head, she didn't have time to hide, how could she get up?

She responded humbly: "If you are free, accompany Mr. for a walk, and Mr. will tell me about this study of hope, and Xiao Han will be grateful." ”

Xianyu laughed again and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, I know where to find the girl." The girls are getting more and more developed, and they all move to the prime minister's house. If it's a boy, a girl must be ......."

Han Zhou laughed with him, and waited for him to finish those kind words like a surging river, and then rode away. The heart said, this person is a good mix, it is really not simple. I'm afraid that the encounter just now was not a chance encounter, right?

There were two people in the field of vision who raised their fingers and pointed at her, one black and one white, Han Zhou pretended not to see it, anyway, it was on horseback, and it was reasonable to move his gaze up. This is already mixed with the complainant, like twins, Han Zhou sometimes guesses with bad taste, these two are not comrades?

The ignored Shu Ji and the complainant were in a good mood, looked at Xiao Han who was far away, looked at Xianyu who turned around and left, glanced at each other, and one of them said: "This girl is in a good market!" You know? ”

The other smiled knowingly.

The two of them are in a good mood now, and they are going to Lu Sheng's mansion to attend a small gathering. I heard that the waiting students will also arrive, so the standard of this party is high. is small-scale, which shows that they still have a certain status in this circle.

When they arrived at the mulberry garden and saw that Jiang Ping had also arrived, the two of them looked displeased, wasn't it a small-scale party? Why did this poor ghost come? If you are poor, you can be poor, you can make your clothes cleaner, this dirty, how can you come into contact with people? Can we only give it away from afar?

I was angry, but fortunately, heavyweights such as Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng were there, so I just didn't see it!

Lu Sheng is still rich and noble with a good belly, and Hou Sheng is like a real person who has attained the Tao, with a white face and long beard, a straight waist and heavy shoulders, and a look like the gods of heaven and earth are in my chest. These two people are of equal status, and they have many followers, and they have never been active together, so how can they get together today and behave like brothers?

Lu Sheng has always been generous, and after chatting, he invited everyone to sit down.

One said that there was a twelve-year-old girl recently, who used to move from Yanguo's hometown with her family, and she didn't like to talk on weekdays. She said that she was from Longxi and was a close attendant of the first emperor's ancestors when they were born. When others asked about the past, the little girl answered fluently. People all went to see the rarity, and they were afraid that there would be too many people, so they were disturbed by the gods, so they all brought gifts to visit.

Another said that the stone god of Shanglin Yuan has been dead recently, and it is said that the stone god's retreat is related to the loss of his hair. According to people's private legends, getting a white hair is like a fairy protecting the body, which can eliminate disasters and diseases, and when someone goes to worship the gods, they secretly put one on it. As a result, you and I will no longer be able to look at the appearance of the stone god, and the old man was so angry that he said everywhere that the stone god retreated, and it would definitely befall the selfish villain.

There is also a new discovery that talks about the recent practice of Dan.

There are two people who have learned a kind of qi practice, natural breathing, meditation, breathing, handstand and double disc ......

Hou Sheng and Lu Sheng glanced at each other, Jiang Ping didn't speak since he came in, and just nodded when he saw everyone. At this moment, I was concentrating on gnawing on a bone.

Lu Sheng opened his mouth and said, "I haven't seen Jiang Ping for a while, what are you busy with?" ”

Jiang Ping paused for a moment with a piece of meat in his mouth, and then continued to chew, probably to swallow it.

All eyes were on him. The master has spoken, so it is natural to cooperate with the master's intentions.

Lu Sheng said again: "During this time, it seems that the jade offering has been missing and has disappeared. ”

Shu Ji and the complainant nodded, glanced at each other, and one opened his mouth and whispered, "I have seen all of them for the past two days." The other immediately said, "It looks like it's all gone, but it's all in good spirits." ”

Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng glanced at each other, waiting for Jiang Ping to speak. No one interjected.

Jiang Ping finally finished dealing with the bones in his hand, picked up the chopsticks, looked at everyone, and put them down again. said: "I have been missing Mr. Xianyu to go to Wangqi." With that, he picked up another bone.

Shu Ji and the resentful man shook their heads slightly, this person can't help the stage. Just know how to eat!

Lu Sheng asked, "Where to go?" ”

Jiang Ping chewed twice, swallowed, and then said, "To the north." They didn't know where they were going, just north. ”

Hou Sheng couldn't bear it anymore: "What about the result of hope?" ”

Jiang Ping thought for a while and said, "It should be considered good!" Mr. Xianyu is very happy, and he is also very happy that he is missing. When I see them glad, I rejoice. Because I finally know when I will return. ”

After saying that, he lowered his head and ate again. He hadn't eaten anything good in days.

Hou Sheng asked, "Why are they happy?" ”

All eyes were on him. yes, what is it that is worth their pain?

Jiang Ping looked at everyone present, were they just curious, or did they have any plans?

One thing he understands, Xianyu and Ji Que did not look down on him, took care of each other on the way, and treated him as a partner, but these people are not, their contempt has always been written on their faces.

He took a sip of soup and said, "Wangqi has a result, right?" Probably to find a good piece of land. Cemetery or homestead, doesn't Mr. Xianyu usually do this? ”

Hou Sheng asked again: "Who wants to bury so far away or build a house so far away?" ”

Jiang Ping shook his head: "I don't know." Those who do this line of work must keep it secret for the patrons, how can this be asked? ”

A few people nodded. Indeed, how easy is this to ask.

Lu Shenghu squinted his eyes suspiciously, isn't there another big move in the palace, where do you want to build the palace? If the palace entrusts this matter to Xianyu, does it mean that the emperor trusts him more?

Hou Sheng lowered his head and took a sip of soup, but his eyes kept looking at Jiang Ping, who continued to eat and drink. Although he didn't have much contact with Jiang Ping and didn't have a good impression of him, this person's performance always made him feel that something was wrong. If it's just the blind toss called the missing, he will take it as a joke, this young man's courage and persistence still make him admire, but no matter how he tosses, there is still no future for the unreasonable accidents in their business. As for Jiang Ping, he didn't even pinch him with his eyes.

The problem is that the jade is mixed in. This person is very popular, and he has some skills, and he can always easily gain the trust of others. As can be seen from the situation in the past few years, his upward trend is obvious. I also have some family business, and I have accumulated a lot of prestige. When he comes up, someone will go down. He could not ignore such an obvious movement.

Jiang Ping on the other side only knows how to eat, and it seems that he can't ask anything if he asks again, so let's see......

The scene was very quiet, only Jiang Ping was alone with the sound of eating and drinking. Lu Sheng sighed in his heart. looked at everyone, looked at Hou Sheng again, and greeted exaggeratedly: "Eat quickly, eat quickly, or the food will be cold!" ”
