Old Shopkeeper Li went to the ink shop and didn't say anything.

A few days later, the news of Luo Longwen's imprisonment spread one after another. The Luo family was once again pushed to the forefront. Even the atmosphere of the entire Huizhou ink industry is full of weirdness.

There is a bit of a stormy smell.

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the day of the stove.

"A cup of tea and a long cigarette, sent the old man of the stove to the sky, the Jade Emperor wants to ask about mortal affairs, mortal life is really pitiful...... early in the morning, the old shopkeeper Li took the Li family and others to set up an incense case and send the stove.

"Grandpa lied, it's not pitiful." On the other hand, the little laughing officer was wearing a thick jacket, and the whole person was round and bowed to the incense case with everyone.

This kid just said smoothly, every day he nagged non-stop, at this time heard his great-grandfather's words, immediately refuted, he had no memory of the previous hard days at home, now because of the coal stove business, the family has solved the problem of food and clothing, is gradually moving towards a well-off, therefore, the little guy feels that this day is not pitiful at all, compared to most people in the city gate cave, the Li family is now considered solid.

"What do you kid know? Grandpa is asking the old man of the stove to go to heaven to cry and cry for us in front of the Jade Emperor, and the next year will be better, otherwise, the Jade Emperor feels that the mortal life is too peaceful, he doesn't care, what should he do if there are three disasters and six diseases? It's always okay to cry poor. On the other hand, Brother Xi taught Xiaoxiao Guan with a straight face.

The conversation between the uncle and nephew provoked a heartfelt laugh from everyone.

This is an alternative manifestation of crying children eating candy.

After the stove was delivered, the family was busy cleaning.

Zhen Niang replaced all kinds of curtains, cloth towels or something from the house, packed a large bamboo basket, and went to the Hexi Bridge outside the city gate to wash.

On the twenty-third day, every family has to be pulped and washed, and the bridgehead in Hexi is very lively.

Zhen Niang just walked to the bridge, and she was caught off guard by a horse galloping in front of her, but fortunately Zhen Niang reacted quickly and hid to the side, but even so, it made the galloping horse stumble for a while.

"How do you ride a horse?" Zhenniang muttered angrily.

The man on the horse galloped out for a long distance, but stopped, and as soon as he lifted the reins, the horse man stood up, turned around directly, and ran in front of Zhen Niang, and the horse rider flew off the horse.

Only then did Zhenniang see clearly that it was Luo Wenqian, the young master of the Luo family, and now Luo Wenqian did not have the suave appearance of the previous son-in-law, the stubble on his chin came out, and the whole person looked a little haggard. His eyes were bloodshot.

"I'm sorry, Miss Li, I'm in a hurry." Luo Wenqian arched his hand.

"Master Luo doesn't have to be polite, it's okay." Seeing Luo Wenqian's appearance, Zhenniang couldn't blame her anymore, after all, the current situation of the people was there, so she replied politely.

"It's okay, it's okay." Luo Wenqian obviously had something on his mind, and said twice in a row, 'It's okay'. It sounded like a reply to Zhenniang's words, but Zhenniang felt that this Luo Wenqian seemed to be talking to himself.

There are really not too many people involved, so Zhenniang will not stay longer, carrying Lanzi and preparing to go down the river along the embankment.

"You say, can my Luo family escape this?" Behind him, Luo Wenqian asked.

Is this asking her? Zhen Niang looked back in surprise, according to common sense, she couldn't have an answer to this kind of thing, but she really knew. It's just that this Luo Wenqian Haode asked her what she was doing?

"Heh, it's fine." Seeing Zhenniang's surprised look, Luo Wenqian woke up suddenly. The main reason is that this question has been lingering in his mind, and Zhen Niang had predicted that something would happen to his Luo family before, so he asked it unconsciously.

"Oh." Zhen Niang nodded, turned her head and continued walking, only took two steps, stopped again, and turned around and said: "My grandfather once said that you must do things before you win, in short, think about the worst, prepare for the worst, then no matter how bad it is, it will not be bad." ”

Zhenniang finally reminded her.

To be honest, when she used to look at historical materials, the life and death of a historical figure really didn't matter, but now in this era, she realized that those historical figures are living people.

It's hard to be completely calm and unconcerned.

Therefore, if you can remind you, you can remind you of a word, and you will finally seek peace of mind.

"Zhenniang, are you alright?" Zhen Niang carried the basket down the embankment, and the one who was washing the tent was the sister-in-law Huaide who was washing the door. Everyone had seen what was going on the embankment before, so they asked with concern at this time.

"It's fine." Zhenniang replied. Squatted next to Huaide's sister-in-law, took out the curtain and cloth towels, and began to wash.

"By the way, that's the young master of the Luo family, right? I heard that something happened to his family. On the other side, a sister-in-law babbled.

"I said Damin's daughter-in-law, who doesn't know about this? You're still talking like that. Aunt Ma on the other end answered. Then Yi pouted again: "Don't make trouble, it's not the first time that the Luo family has done this, what kind of shili is the Yan family, I can't say, in a few days, Lord Luo was released again, and the Luo family didn't have anything to do." ”

"Aunt Ma, this time seems to be different, during this time, the young master of the Luo family has been going back and forth in the city gate every day, and the things at home are being transported out, I see that the Luo family is a little dangerous this time." Sister-in-law Huaide said.

"Oh, it doesn't matter, this kind of thing is not clear to zuihou." Aunt Ma shook her hand and said, then looked at Zhen Niang with a smile and said: "Zhen Niang, you are still prescient, you offered medicine and ink, and caught up with Father-in-law Yan, and the Luo family fell, and this tribute ink business belongs to the Li family." ”

"Auntie, you don't like what Zhen Niang said, what did you take with Father-in-law? This is really not good, my father-in-law heard about the medicinal ink in my hand, and passed on me to offer medicinal ink, is it possible that I can still refuse? As for the business of Gongmo, whether there is a Luo family or not, every time Gongmo is chosen, whether it can be chosen or not, the Li family will be contested, not by virtue of who it is, but by virtue of the Li family's hundreds of years of ink-making prestige and skills. ”

Zhen Niang said, although this time the Luo family had an accident, the Li family had a better chance of getting the tribute ink business, but whether they could get it still depended on Li Mo's real strength.

And the saying of calling Aunt Ma seems to be that if Li Jiamofang gets the business of Gongmo in the future, it will be all her credit, and Aunt Ma's words are very ambiguous.

So this point still has to be made clear.

The relationship between the eighth room and the seventh room of the Li family has just eased up a little, and this kind of talk has spread out, so that there is no need to cause any gossip.

You need to know that gossip is like a knife.

"Okay, okay, let's talk less about these things." On the other hand, Sister-in-law Huaide saw that her speech was a little stiff, so she played a round game.

Aunt Ma muttered with a stupid face: "The current girl films, one or two are sharp mouths." After saying that, he also took care of his own clothes.

The atmosphere is still not very good.

"By the way, do you know the Sun family?" At this time, the daughter-in-law of the people on one side changed the topic.

Huaide's sister-in-law hurriedly responded: "Which Sun family?" ”

"It's the Sun family who used to live next door to Zhen Niang's house." The daughter-in-law of the big people said.

"What's wrong with him?" On the other hand, Aunt Ma immediately asked mentally. Zhen Niang also turned her face sideways, Sister Sun Yue and her are friends, but since the last time her mother came to propose marriage, she couldn't do it, and now the relationship is like a passerby. At this time, I am also curious, what happened to the Sun family? Thinking about it, Zhenniang couldn't help but think of the last time, half a year ago, when Sun Yuejuan followed her eldest brother.

"This person, you really can't be rich, the Sun family was in our city gate hole, although the life was tight, but the two boys in the family can be regarded as hard-working, but since moving out of the city gate, the Sun family is also rich, but the eldest son of his family has become bad, I heard that he was obsessed with a half-closed door, not long ago he actually married the half-closed door home, Sun Dahe was so angry that he almost tied him up and beat him to death......"

The daughter-in-law of the big people said with a red face.

Her man, Cheng Damin, and the two boys of the Sun family get along quite well, and they are very clear about some low details.

"You know what? I know this, the boss of the Sun family is very good, this daughter-in-law just married into the door and set up a house outside, although the Sun family's hat is a little green, but people have made a profit, life, this is the most important. Aunt Ma said.

Hearing such things, Zhenniang was indifferent, one was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer, and there was nothing to say.

While a few people were chatting, another sister-in-law came to wash clothes, and there was a vacant seat next to Zhenniang, so she squeezed in. He was not in a hurry to wash his clothes, but took out a piece of ink from his pocket and handed it to Zhen Niang: "Zhen Niang, help me look at this piece of ink." ”

Zhen Niang took it, and said in her heart that this sister-in-law is interesting, and she still brings a piece of ink to wash clothes.

On the other hand, Sister-in-law Huaide had already joked: "You go to the river to wash clothes, why do you still bring a piece of ink with you, it shows that you have ink." ”

"Where, I went to buy vegetables early in the morning, when I passed by Sibao Street, today Tian's ink shop opened, and the first ten people who entered the store gave a free ingot of ink, I happened to run into it, and I got it." The sister-in-law said proudly, and then said: "It's all said to be good ink, I don't understand, it just so happens that Zhenniang is here, let her help me take a look." ”

And Zhen Niang didn't care at first, but the more she looked at Namo, the more solemn her face became.

She put the ink between her nose and sniffed it carefully, then dropped two drops of water on the bluestone slab on one side and grinded it twice.

Since she was a child, her grandfather has exercised her sense of smell and eyesight, so she can roughly tell the composition of ink as long as she smells it and then observes the ink color carefully.

Therefore, she could be sure that the bituminous coal used for the ingot ink in her hand was made from the super-top lacquer bituminous coal she had made earlier.

She sold this recipe to her seventh grandmother, who was going to use this bituminous coal to make tribute ink, which can be said to be a top secret for the time being, but strangely, how did the Tian family know about making this kind of bituminous coal? Not to mention the research of the Tian family, this kind of bituminous coal in history was made through the inheritance of several generations of ink makers in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

What's more, the Tian family didn't accumulate anything before.

Therefore, Zhenniang can be sure that this recipe is out of secret.

Thinking about it, Zhenniang couldn't stay any longer, so she returned the ink to the sister-in-law first, only saying that it was quite haode ink. Then he quickly packed up his laundry, said goodbye to everyone, and ran back home.

When he arrived at home, he said to the old shopkeeper Li: "Grandpa, the bituminous coal formula I sold to my seventh grandmother before is out of secret." ”

"What's going on?" Old Li's face changed, and the formula was secret, which was a big deal for the ink workshop, and he hurriedly asked.

So Zhen Niang told me what she had found before.

"You come with me to see your seventh grandmother." Old Li's shopkeeper couldn't sit still, so he took Zhenniang and went straight to the Li family's grandson.

……

When she arrived at Yanzong, Zhenniang told her about the matter again.

As soon as the seventh grandmother heard what Zhenniang said, she immediately asked people to go to the Tianjia Ink Workshop to buy two pieces of ink.

Steward Shao and Master Qin, who was on the side, also identified the ink together: "Well, judging from the ink color and gloss, it is indeed likely to be made by the new bituminous coal formula in our ink workshop." ”

"Okay, let's not make a noise about this, I want to see who is the one who eats the inside and outside." The Seventh Old Lady had a frosty face. This thing has touched her bottom line.

Zhen Niang knew that the Seventh Grandmother was going to start cleaning the portal.

There is some anticipation.

……

It's just that the next two days have been calm.

On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, Zhenniang's family is making rice cake, which is just like the rice cake of the northerners, after it is done, it is soaked in water and can be eaten for a winter.

This has just been steamed out of a basket, Zhen Niang's mouth is also greedy, so she took one and put it in her mouth to eat, the freshly steamed rice cake has the sweetness of pure rice, which is particularly delicious.

"I'll eat it later, and put a plate on it for Sister-in-law Huaide on the other side." On the other hand, Zhao patted Zhen Niang's arm and stuffed a full plate of rice cake into Zhen Niang's hand.

Zhen Niang then went out with a plate while eating.

As soon as he got out of the door, a person sprang out of the cold side.

Zhenniang got up and looked up and saw that it was Sun Yuejuan

"Yuejuan? Why did you suddenly come out and scare me, why didn't you enter the door? Zhenniang asked.

Before Yuejuan could say anything, her eyes turned red.

"What's wrong? Yuejuan, what's wrong? Zhenniang hurriedly asked.

"The old lady of the Li family wants to break my eldest brother's legs, and she has to send him to the yamen, Zhen Niang, now my father and second brother are still being detained by the ink workshop, my mother and I have exhausted all means, but there is really no way, so I have to come to you, please say good things to the old lady." Sister Sun Yue said anxiously.

The old lady in Sun Yuejuan's mouth is naturally Zhenniang's seventh grandmother.

“weishenme？” Zhen Niang asked, and suddenly remembered the secret of the formula she had discovered before.

"They said my eldest brother stole the recipe for the super paint fume." Sun Yuejuan said, and then hurriedly said: "I think there must be a misunderstanding here......

Zhen Niang didn't speak, this formula is the lifeline of an ink workshop, if Sun Dalang is really the one who stole the formula, then I'm afraid this matter can't be good.

Not to mention outsiders like the Sun family, it involves relatives who have to shed their skin even if they don't die.

"Yuejuan, I won't tell you anything, if it really involves the formula, the national law, the family has family rules, not to mention that I am just a junior, you should know how much weight my words can have, so I can't promise you, in this way, I will inquire about the specific situation first, I will intercede if I can intercede, but you must understand if you can't intercede." Zhen Niang said.

In my heart, I was thinking about the matter of the Li family's husband, the house that the Li family's husband put upside down, whether it was the half-closed door upside down capital, or another way, which was a little unclear.
