Chapter 176: The Origin of the Ugly Woman

The ugly woman held the lamp in one hand and stood in the shadows, the expression on her face was clearly extinguished, and her expression seemed to be a little depressed and a little nostalgic.

"What did you say, ugly woman? Sichuan monk's enlightenment ink method? Zhen Niang didn't notice the ugly woman's expression, she was completely attracted by the ugly woman's words at the moment, the Sichuan monk's enlightenment ink method, that is the Buddha ink, has always been what she wants to understand but can't.

"Haven't you read the record of the Dongpo Ink Method in the Book of Ink?" The ugly woman said, put down the oil lamp in her hand, and then read: "Po Gong can transform Goryeo and Silla Mo again." The smoke quality of Goryeo and Silla ink is very beautiful, but the preparation method is not good, the ink is black and not light, and the use alone is similar to the charcoal. The public is broken, and the ink is mixed with the Sichuan monk Qingwu ink method, which is a fine product. ”

Speaking of this, the ugly woman said again: "In fact, Pan's Gaoli Mo and Mo Fa are the same as Po Gong's Zai and Mo Fa, but Pan Mo is a family of ink makers, if the ink method passed down in the family is to record the use of the Qing Wu method, it will become a stealing art, so I hid the zuihou part of the Qing Wu Mo Fa." ”

"I see." Zhen Niang suddenly realized, no wonder some of the records about Pan Mo's ink method are missing a part about the Qingwu ink method.

Then she realized that the ugly woman knew ink, not only understood, but also obviously had a deep study of Pan Mo, and suddenly she remembered that when she first studied Zai and Mo, she was stuck on the awakening ink, or the ugly woman gave herself a hint by waking up, and she broke through the difficulty.

In this way, the ugly woman probably deliberately woke her up, and I thought that the ugly woman was a lucky general......

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but stare at the ugly woman's face full of scars, and then remembered what Grandpa Qi said about the Luo family's daughter before. A thought popped out of her mind.

An answer seems to be on the horizon.

Thinking. Zhen Niang took out the little Taoist ink that Luo Wenqian gave her. Handed it to the ugly woman, he said with some caution: "Ugly woman, can you recognize this ink?" ”

The ugly woman took the little Taoist ink, played with her hands carefully, and said for a while: "Why don't you recognize it?" This is the ink I made by myself forty years ago, but I can't make it now. ”

"So, you are the aunt and mother-in-law of the Luo family?" Although there was already a guess in her heart, the ugly woman confirmed it at this time. Zhenniang was still a little surprised, and at the same time felt a little helpless.

In this way, this ugly woman is obviously Luo Wenqian's only elder now.

The ugly woman nodded slightly, the reason why she stood up today, she would not hide it, it was really this girl's talent for ink making, and every ink maker did not want to pass on his own ink art, of course, if Zhen Niang did not marry Luo Wenqian, then she would not stand up.

"Then mother-in-law weishenme doesn't recognize Wen Qian?" At this time, Zhenniang asked suspiciously.

"How do you recognize it? My torii is still standing tall there. If they recognize each other, it is a great crime to deceive the king. The ugly woman said coldly. Then he said indifferently: "Say it again." I've had a very quiet life over the years, and it's good to go on like this. ”

Listening to the ugly woman say this, Zhen Niang only understood that she thought too simply, the establishment of a memorial arch, first of all, to be reported to the court by the magistrate, the court approved before it can be established, and now the dead man suddenly came back to life, isn't that not a bully, if someone falls into the well, then not to say that the whole house is beheaded, but also to be exiled, this is not a joke.

It's just that Zhenniang is also a little strange, it stands to reason that the ugly woman is not dead, so the Luo family should not have found a corpse, how can this be reported to the yamen without a corpse.

How did she know that what happened at the beginning was a mistake.

At the beginning, the Wang family forced Luo Mengzhen to be martyred, and the Luo family didn't do it, and the two families also had a fight because of this, and as for the fire of the Luo family, it was really an accident, Wang Jiazi's character, Luo Mengzhen couldn't really be martyred for him, but during that time, because of the fight, Luo Mengzhen's pressure was really not small, so he didn't sleep well for several nights.

At that time, Luo Mengzhen was rescued, but his face was already burned, and because the two Wang and Luo families had been fighting for a long time, therefore, the old lady Luo simply announced to the public that Luo Mengzhen had self-immolated and martyred, so that the Wang family achieved its goal, and the fighting stopped.

Speaking of which, Mrs. Luo was still a little cautious in this back then, he only said that Luo Mengzhen was martyred by self-immolation, and he didn't say that he would die or not, he wanted to wait for things to come over. Luo Mengzhen is only fated to come back to life, and coupled with her current injury, no one will care about it anymore.

Unexpectedly, that year happened to be the Ministry of Officials evaluating officials at all levels.

The prefect of Huizhou is not good to be demoted because of the problem of banditry, and he was in a hurry to be troubled by this matter, and happened to hear that the daughter of the Luo family was martyred for the prince of the Wang family, which is not the work of Wenye under her smelting, and once this kind of thing is reported, it is also one of the achievements of his prefect, therefore, he started to report the idea of establishing a chaste archway.

And because there is not much time, he only let the messenger inquire about the situation at will, and after the fact, he immediately reported to the Ministry of Rites, and waited until Luo Mengzhen's archway was approved, and the yamen helped Luo Jia to set up the archway, and the Luo family knew about it.

And at this time, it was too late, and Mrs. Luo could only pinch her nose and admit it. and hid Luo Mengzhen's identity tightly, except for Old Man Luo, who saved people with him at the beginning, all the others were hidden.

If you don't hide it, if you get a little rumored out, then the Luo family will not end well.

And since then, Luo Mengzhen has been living in the Luo family as a distant relative, and later the old lady Luo passed away, and the Luo family was inherited by the old man Luo, and this old man Luo is Luo Mengzhen's eldest brother, and he also takes good care of this sister, but the old man Luo went out to visit friends one year, and the boat had an accident and died, so he was not in a hurry to tell Luo Mengzhen's children in the family, so Luo Mengzhen's matter was completely unknown.

And the one who took over the Luo family was Luo Wenqian's uncle, because he suddenly took over the affairs of the family, he had too many clues, and Luo Mengzhen was only a distant relative now, and he couldn't even tell the beginning, so he wouldn't care too much. And as time went by, gradually the rest of the Luo family became more and more indifferent to Luo Mengzhen, a so-called distant relative.

Most of the personalities of ink-makers are calm, transparent, and resolute. Since he didn't want to be treated like this, Luo Mengzhen simply left the Luo family and moved to live in a cave outside the city, becoming an ugly woman in everyone's mouth.

As for the Li family taking in the ugly woman, we have to start with Old Man Luo, at the beginning, the seventh master of the Li family and the old man Luo were in the same boat, and after the boat accident, the seventh master of the Li family was fine because he could swim. And when the uncle of the Luo family rescued him, he still had a breath of air, he didn't care about anything else, the only thing was Luo Mengzhen, this was when the old man asked him to take care of Haode before he died, this looked like it was dying, and no one around him said, thinking about the Li family's personality, it was regarded as a family of faith in Huizhou, so the old man Luo entrusted Luo Mengzhen's matter to the seventh master of the Li family.

It's just that the seventh master of the Li family went out to talk about business, and when he returned to Huizhou after negotiating business, the ugly woman had already moved out of the Luo family and lived in a cave outside the city. So he directly found the ugly woman and explained the situation, the original intention was to bring Luo Mengzhen back to the Luo family and explain the situation, but at this time, the ugly woman was a little cold to the people of the Luo family and was unwilling to go back, so the seventh master of the Li family simply led the ugly woman home.

Since then, there has been an eccentric gatekeeper in the backyard of the Li family.

Zhenniang doesn't know these entanglements, but now that the ugly woman has explained it in front of herself, when Luo Wenqian comes back, she can't explain it to him, maybe when she was young, the ugly woman still has a sense of resentment, but at this age, the fallen leaves return to the roots, and it is normal for relatives to recognize each other.

"Here, here's for you." At this time, the ugly woman took out a booklet from her arms, which was the Pan's ink method that Grandpa Qi thought had been burned......

"This ...... Auntie, this is too precious. "She and Luo Wenqian are serious about marriage, and now they want to be called by Luo Wenqian.

"Take it, it's a meeting gift, besides, which one else can I give if I don't give you this thing?" The ugly woman said cheerfully.

Since it is a meeting gift for the elders, there is no reason for the virgin mother not to accept it, not to mention that this is also what she wants in her heart, so she is not polite.

After taking the book, the virgin woman looked at it carefully, and the ink method restored by the jishu of the previous life and the little Taoist ink was not clearly understood by this direct record.

And sure enough, in the place where Goryeo ink and ink are again, Zuihou's method of glue is the Sichuan monk's Qingwu ink method.

"Okay, let's go back to the house and sleep, it's late, I'm going to study it tomorrow." The ugly woman said.

"Hmm." Zhenniang nodded, and then sent the ugly woman back to the house first.

Because she knew the identity of the ugly woman, Zhenniang couldn't let her guard the door anymore, and proposed to change the ugly woman to the main house tomorrow, but she didn't want to refuse without thinking about it.

"I'll just be the gatekeeper, and I'll get your heart." The ugly woman said.

The ugly woman insisted, Zhenniang had no choice, and she could only follow her, but everything was in her heart, speaking of which, the Li family has always been good to the ugly woman, and her status in the Li family is transcendent, so it's okay.

Zhen Niang estimated that the identity of the ugly woman was also known to her seventh grandmother, otherwise, it would be impossible for the ugly woman to live so detached.

Back in the house, Zhenniang slept soundly.

So in the next two days, Zhen Niang used the Pan's ink method and the Qingwu ink method to try to make the re-harmony ink of Gaoli ink, and each time it was successful, that is to say, the ink method of making ink was mature, so she took over all the ink of the Shen family.

Because of the hot weather, Zhen Niang waited for half a month, and in August, Zhen Niang recruited all the ink workers and began to work. From making to drying, it took a whole month, and the ink was delivered in early September.

Shen Ziyan also specially invited a few literati to test the ink, and tried the ink on the spot, both in terms of appearance and ink color, it is a good work. So very satisfied.
