Chapter 225: Lee's Inkhouse
And as the news came out, there was even a stream of rumors -- saying that Tian Ronghua was Kefu's life.
Back then, Tian Ronghua and Luo Wenqian were married, and the Luo family was defeated, but now Tian Ronghua and the Xu family are married, and the Xu family has a big event, and the tired Xu Sangongzi lost his life.
In this way, one by one, it seems to confirm the name of Tian Ronghua Kefu.
"Fortunately, Zhenniang didn't go to the Xu family at the beginning, otherwise, now I can't tell if I have a long mouth." The Han Li family came to participate in Li Mo's family ceremony, and when they heard about the Xu family, they chattered for a while.
"Okay, don't mess around with this kind of thing, after all, they are all hard-working children." Old Madam Li glared at Han Li and said.
Han Li stopped talking stupidly.
At this time, Zhen Niang, who was sitting on the side, saw that the scene was a little embarrassing, so she took out an ink-making notebook and handed it to Mrs. Li, and said with a little red eyes: "Seventh grandmother, this is the ink-making notes that my grandfather has kept all his life, and I have made up the ink recipe and ink-making experience I have studied in the past few years, and handed it to Seventh Grandma." ”
"Okay, okay." Old Madam Li took the notes, flipped through them, and said heavily: "These notes are the foundation of my Li Mo's inheritance. Saying that, Mrs. Li stood up a little excitedly and said to Zhen Niang, "Zhen Niang, follow me." ”
"Seventh Grandma, where are you going?" Zhenniang asked with some curiosity.
"You'll know when you come." Mrs. Li sold a pass.
Li Zhenniang got up and helped the seventh grandmother, and then followed her into the back house of the seventh room. I came to the old lady's Buddha hall.
When she arrived at the Buddha Hall, Zhen Niang had an idea in her heart, needless to say. The Seventh Grandmother is taking herself into the inkhouse.
There is a Moku Zhenniang in the Li Buddhist Hall who has known for a long time. It's just that the ink library has always been only accessible to family members. Zhen Niang has only heard of his name, but has never been in or out.
And the inkhouse is the foundation of the survival of every ink-making family.
At this time, I couldn't help but feel a little excited in my heart, watching the old lady walk to the side of the Buddhist shrine, under a wooden staircase, where there was a screen. The old lady removed the screen, revealing a small door half a man high.
At this time, Mrs. Li opened the small door, and casually lit the candlestick on the Buddha shrine on the side, and then beckoned to Zhen Niang: "Zhen Niang, come in with me." ”
"Hmm." Zhenniang nodded. He took the candlestick from the hand of the seventh grandmother and illuminated the stairs, which were not long, and they could not go down more than five steps. Then what appeared in front of Zhen Niang was a warehouse the size of a main house. It's just that the location of this warehouse is half a basement, so the light is very dim.
"Come, light the lampstands around you." At this time, Mrs. Li said again.
Only then did Zhenniang realize that there were lampstands on all sides of the walls. So he raised the lamps in his hand and lit the lampstands around him one by one, and immediately, the warehouse was bright. Zhen Niang only saw it clearly at this time. There are many display cases throughout the warehouse, which are made of sorrel wood.
"Go and see the treasures that belong to the Li family." At this time, Mrs. Li said to Zhen Niang with a smile on her face.
Zhenniang glanced at the seventh grandmother. Only then did I walk to those display cabinets, open the cabinets, and there are ink cartridges one by one, not to mention anything else, these ink cartridges alone are extremely carved things, and then find a few ink cartridges, and the ink of a spindle will be displayed.
And the first ink ingot shown in front of Zhen Niang is the ink of Zhong Jiang.
Zhong Jiang is Wei Dan of the Three Kingdoms, he can be said to be the originator of medicinal ink, and Li's medicinal ink was born from Zhong Jiang's ink, perhaps it can be said that most of the ink was born from Wei Mo, and even some people set Wei Dan as Mo Zu.
Next is a spindle of "Lushan pine ink".
Lushan Songmo flourished in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and it was also the time when "Yi Ink" was beginning to emerge.
In addition, Zhen Niang also saw the piece of Yu Elk Tile Ink that she inadvertently collected, as well as the ingot of Li's Sihe ink that the old man Qi Chunqi gave her at the beginning, and the Luzhou Longbin Ink that she first found in the sixth grandfather.
In addition, there are a lot of ancient inks, some of which are recognized by the virgin, and some of which are unheard of.
At this time, Li Zhenniang knew the depth of the Li family's accumulation, you must know that for an ink-making family like the Li family, each square of ancient ink is equivalent to what later generations called a living fossil, and they can understand an ink-making technique.
Of course, with the gradual upgrading of the ink method, some ancient ink methods have been eliminated, but they all represent the witness of history.
"Seventh Grandmother, I didn't expect there to be so much Gu Mo." Zhen Niang said incredulously.
"Look at the cabinet over there." At this time, Mrs. Li pointed to a small cabinet on the other side.
When Zhen Niang opened it, there were stacks of notes, as well as ink line drawings one by one. Zhen Niang opened it and saw that these ink-making notes were left by the Li ink-making people in the past dynasties, some of which Zhen Niang had already seen before, and it was the old lady who gave her to learn, but it just seemed that the mood was different.
Before, it was pure learning, but now I saw that it was a kind of inheritance.
In it, Zhen Niang even saw the ink-making notes left by her grandfather when he was young.
"Zhenniang, come, put this notebook with the one your grandfather left when he was young." At this time, Mrs. Li handed the notes in her hand to Zhen Niang again.
Zhenniang took the notebook and gently placed it on the side of the notebook with a solemn face. There is a sense of reinvigoration.
"Zhenniang, the Li family's ink industry has risen and fallen, but it has not died out, it is precisely because of these ......" Old Madam Li said, looked around and continued: "With these, Li Mo can always be inherited, and these are the foundation of Li Mo, it is something that the Li family swears to protect." ”
Old Madam Li looked solemn again at this time, and then took out a set of keys from her key and handed it to Zhen Niang: "Now, I will hand these over to you." ”
"Seventh Grandmother?" Zhen Niang was a little unsure, although, at the unveiling ceremony, the Seventh Grandmother had already determined the identity of her Li Mo as a family member, but this ink library was not easy to say, it was really too valuable, she had to have some concerns, according to the rules, these should be handed over to Tianyou.
"Silly girl, my Li Mo's inheritance has never been confined to the concubine, in fact, it is your great-ancestor, and at the beginning, it was just a side branch of the Li family, Li Mo's inheritance. It's all about craftsmanship. Girl. You deserve it. Old Madam Li patted Zhenniang's shoulder.
And again: "Tell the truth." Up to now, Li Mo's talent has dropped to zero, in fact, or it can also be said, this is the number of qi, the rise and fall of a dynasty has a number of qi, and the rise and fall of a family also has a number of qi. In fact, for Li Mo, I can only stick to it, I can't do anything if I want to develop, it's you, girl, it's you who bring glory to Li Mo. Speaking of this, the Seventh Grandmother sighed, chuckled lightly and said, "In addition, the Seventh Grandmother is also a little selfish, to be honest. If it was possible, the Seventh Grandmother didn't want Brother You'er to embark on the road of ink-making. After all, I have paid too much for ink making in Qifang, so I just want him to grow up smoothly. ”
"Seventh grandmother, I understand, Zhenniang will swear to protect Li Mo to the death." Zhenniang didn't say anything at this time, but solemnly took the key. I also knew in my heart that in fact, the seventh grandmother was equivalent to handing over the seven rooms to her along with the ink workshop.
And for the seventh grandmother's thoughts, Zhenniang is very understanding, not to mention that so many people died in the seventh room because of ink, it is the eighth room, her grandmother died because of the death of her uncle, and she doesn't want her family to touch Li Mo again, Li Mo's glory is the pride of the Li family, but it also left a pain for the Li family.
And the pain of the seventh room, the seventh grandmother should be heart-wrenching, so all the time, Zhenniang has taken the seventh grandmother as an example, you know, a woman in that situation to take on the family business, the pressure is really not something ordinary people can bear.
There is an indomitable spirit in the Seven Grandmothers.
After that, Zhen Niang looked at the ink library again, in addition to the ink and ink-making notes, there are many ink molds, ink cartridges, ink sacs, and some collected glue and soot, etc., in addition to some ink-making tools, it can be regarded as a museum of the ink industry.
"Ahem......" At this time, Mrs. Li coughed.
"Seventh grandmother, go back, it's cold here." Zhen Niang said, blew out the lights around her, and then helped the seventh grandmother out. It's the season of autumn.
The seventh grandmother is old, and she is a little tired after this toss, so she goes back to rest first.
Zhen Niang first went to the ink shop to take a turn, stared at the progress of ink making, and then prepared to go home.
It's just that when passing by the door of the sixth room, Brother Run'er suddenly ran out of the door and bumped into her.
"I'll kill you, I'll kill you today......" At this time, Aunt Jinhua came out of the house, picked up Brother Run, and slapped Brother Run'er's buttocks, her eyes were still red.
"Aunt Jinhua, what are you doing here? If you have something to say, it's good to say. Zhen Niang saw that Aunt Jinhua was really heavy, and couldn't help but stop her, after all, Brother Run'er is only ten years old this year.
"Don't worry about it, don't let you fake it, you're a bad person, my father just called you harmful." didn't think about it at this time, but Brother Run shook off Zhen Niang's hand vigorously, almost gritting his teeth.
Zhenniang made this kid stunned for a while, Brother Run'er is very close to her on weekdays, when did he hate her so much.
"Li Zhengrun, what are you, you actually scolded my sister, I'm not done with you." At this moment, Li Zhengxi rushed out of the house again, rushed forward, and pushed Brother Run'er angrily.
Brother Run also pushed Brother Xi back, and Brother Xi stepped forward to fight, but was pulled by Zhen Niang.
"Call me, I see that this kid is living a happy life and wants to find trouble." At this time, the old man Li Liu came out of the house on crutches, and Zhen Niang saw that the sixth grandfather came out with his own mother-in-law, Zhao.
At this time, without the orders of Old Man Li Liu, Li Jinhua had already picked up the broom and smoked Brother Run's calf.
Although Zhao's face was not very good, he grabbed Li Jinhua at this time: "Jinhua, this matter, I guess it has something to do with that Wang Decai, you should ask Brother Run'er about the situation, the child doesn't understand the past things, you explain to him again, it's useless to fight." ”
Hearing what Zhao said, Li Jinhua stopped.
Then Zhao took Li Zhengxi and beckoned Zhenniang to leave first.
"Mother, what's going on?" On the way, Li Zhenniang asked her mother-in-law, she was complained by Brother Run'er for no reason, and she was still confused at this time.
"Your sixth grandfather's health is getting worse and worse, your Aunt Jinhua is not a good person, Brother Run'er is still young, and someone must help bear the burden of the sixth room. So, when I came over today, your sixth grandfather mentioned it, let the clan take a look, and wanted to let the long roots go into the way, but he didn't think about it but was heard by Brother Run, this kid probably didn't know when he had seen Wang Decai, and he actually disagreed, and said that he had a father, and he wanted to take his father back, and said that it was our harm that his father was kicked out of the Li family, and it made your Aunt Jinhua angry. Zhao said.
Changgen is the long-term worker of the sixth room, and has been in the sixth room for more than ten years, a few years ago, the lady died in childbirth, and now he is also a single, and his character is very good, so the old man Li Liu has this heart. (To be continued......)
