Chapter 1144: Actions Before Marriage

Guo Dayou directly told Yan Jipeng and Yan Yukuan: Guo Jian is back, and he and his nephew are going to study the loom and strive for a breakthrough. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoOriginally, this matter was assisted by the dumb host, but the dumb was pregnant, and of course this matter fell on Qiao'er. Studying textiles with her younger brother is also an experience for her, and it is good for her to improve her own skills.

Yan Jipeng hurriedly expressed his support, saying that this was a big deal.

He originally wanted to postpone the wedding until the end of the year, but Yan Yukuan and Mei couldn't always stay in the capital; The Yan family's business in Jiangnan also needed him to go back to the town, so he had to rush to get his grandson's marriage in May as soon as possible, so as not to toss everyone back and forth at the end of the year.

Guo Dayou also understands this, and the Guo family is also busy.

As a result, the marriage was still scheduled for the sixth day of the fifth month.

The dumb began to get busy.

Busy with what?

Give Qiao'er a dowry!

There are so many nephews in my mother's family, and those small ones are just fine, Guo Qin, Qiao'er and Guo Jian, who look very different. Especially Qiao'er, she is just like her own daughter.

She is going to marry Qiao'er as a daughter.

As her aunt, in addition to Xiao Fang's princess, she also has to take out a part of her dowry to add another box, so that she can be considered dedicated.

She ordered her sister to go back to Jiangnan to take care of this matter.

There are several copies of the dumb dowry book, one of which is in charge of the younger sister, and the physical inventory and verification at the end of the year is also the general charge of the younger sister. Qingmu only cares about the general ledger, how much interest income will increase every year, and how much it will cost, she has an approximate amount in her mind.

She explained to her younger sister and asked her to go back and share a part of the account and send it to the capital together with the Guo family's dowry, because Yan Duyang's stay has already been decided: stay in Hanlin Courtyard, if nothing else, in the next few years, their young couple will live in the capital.

Qing'er thought that if Qiao'er did something, she had to have the capital in her hands.

Therefore, she asked her second brother and sister-in-law to buy a dowry in the capital as much as possible.

The Yan family is the same, they are very busy.

Qiao'er was also busy day and night, but not to make wedding dresses, etc., but to stay in the loom room with Guo Jian all day long, and sometimes Guo Dayou was also there, and the three of them discussed together.

They are working on projects to drive machines with water presses and increase production.

No matter how much they improved the looms, they still relied on manual operation, and the speed was always limited, so they wanted to use water to drive certain links to increase production and scale.

This is not a new idea, Dajing already has a well water press, a water mill -- the use of water power to make rice, the use of water power to make paper, etc., and it is completely feasible to reuse them in textiles.

Yan Duyang also often went to the secluded pavilion after Luoya, under the pretext of looking for Fang Li or Guo Jian, in fact, it was just to see Qiao'er. Although the wedding date has been set, he and Qiao'er have crossed the bright road, but he is even more anxious, and he has a deep understanding of the taste of "not seeing each other for a day is like three autumns".

People who concentrate on doing things will exude a unique style.

Guo Jian is like that.

Whenever Qiao'er asked a question, he always said very confidently: "Look at me! Then he went about doing it quickly, sawing and planing, or clanging with a hammer. The work in his hands is non-stop, and he is still blowing a little song briskly in his mouth, which is very leisurely, which makes people feel that he is not working hard, but doing an interesting creation, and can't help but look forward to him creating miracles. When he was done, he stood aside and motioned to Qiao'er: "Eldest sister try again." ”

Qiao'er tried again, and then came up with new ideas.

And he pondered it all over again.

Sometimes I don't say a word and just stare at the drawings and think.

Qiao'er ordered someone to prepare food and eat it when he woke up.

Guo Dayou proudly said to Qing Due: "Jian'er is really successful!" ”

Dumb and happy, it was really the right thing to send this nephew to the Lin family to learn art back then.

Guo Jian's learning is not ordinary carpentry, it should be called "mechanism manufacturing" and other mechanical production. In the past few days since he came back, he took the time to make slingshots, delicate small hand crossbows, plum blossom sleeve arrows, etc., which simply made Brother Shi'er and others crazy, and worshiped him to death. He also made Kong Ming locks and delicate makeup boxes (Luban boxes) for girls such as No Regrets, which also made his cousins happy.

He was very busy, sometimes he was called away by the people of the Yasukuni Mansion, and sometimes the officials of the military department came to look for him, and he stayed outside for a day, delaying Qiao'er's side, so he had to stay up late and light the lamp.

Dumb and puzzled, he asked what the people told him to do.

Guo Jian said that it was nothing, just a friend talking.

Fang Chu saw that something was wrong, so he asked the dumb not to ask.

is so busy, Guo Jian can't go back to Jiangnan.

He didn't want to go back, saying that Sister Qiao'er was about to get married, and there were only two months left, he wanted to accompany Sister Qiao'er, and he had to make a set of furniture dowry for Sister Qiao'er.

On the day that the younger sister left Beijing and returned to Jiangnan, Guo Jian childishly instructed: "Aunt Xi, call my father and my mother to come, and say that I am thin, skinny and skinny." Don't they want me? ”

Ruan Shi hurriedly said: "Don't say that, your mother is going to die in a hurry." ”

Guo Jian said proudly: "I just want my mother to be anxious, otherwise she won't come." ”

Nguyen and Dumb looked at each other amusefully—sure enough, they were still children!

Guo Jian's ability is beyond doubt, and it is not comparable to Guo Da. Their research quickly came to fruition. Guo Dayou said that he would take him to Fengzhou for a trial trial, because the workshop was built by the water, but it was not very convenient here in the capital, so he had to talk about it on paper.

Guo Jian asked: "How far is Fengzhou?" ”

Qiao'er said casually: "It's not too far." ”

Guo Jian said: "Is it enough to walk for one day? ”

Fang Chu said: "How can it be a day, it will take two or three days." ”

Guo Jian blinked narrowly and said, "I'm afraid that Sister Qiao'er's algorithm is different." You can get from Huzhou to Jingzhou in one day, but you can't go from Beijing to Fengzhou in one day? ”

Everyone was stunned, and they knew that he was talking about Guo Qin and Qiao'er tricking him into going to Jingzhou back then. Back then, Guo Qin coaxed him to go to Jingzhou Lin's house to learn art, he asked how far Jingzhou was, Guo Qin said vaguely, "It's not too far, it takes a day to take a car", coaxing Guo Jian to go for ten years.

Qiao'er slapped him and said angrily: "What year is it, do you remember?" ”

Guo Jian smiled: "Why don't you remember!" I walked day after day, day after day......"

Before he could finish speaking, Qiao'er hurriedly shouted, "It's time to eat!" Interrupt him stiffly.

Guo Jian looked at his sister and smiled, looking clear.

Qiao'er complained: "I've grown up and become shrewd, and it's not easy to deceive at all." ”

Guo Jian smiled even brighter.

Yan Duyang said to Guo Jian: "You should thank your eldest brother and sister, if it weren't for them, you would have achieved this place today?" Can you go to the fairyland on earth and return to Yangu for so many years? We can't go if we want to. It's not a place that everyone can go. ”

Huiyan Valley is the private property of the eldest princess of Jing'an.

Because when she was in the countryside, he and Jingguo Gong found the Huiyan Valley, and led the Lin family to move in, cultivating wasteland, planting tea in the mountains, and cooperating with fishing and hunting activities, and lived a very leisurely life. Later, Emperor Yanwei, Emperor Shunchang's grandfather, gave her that place as a fief, which was considered compensation for her exile in the countryside, and other princesses and even princes did not have the rules for giving fiefs.
