The arrival of the Dongxia people gradually became a matter of conversation among the people in the county.

When I got closer and saw it clearly, I realized that the Dongxia people were not at all what everyone feared, and in addition to the kindness they brought, the slight differences in their customs were also rapidly magnified. They are peculiar in their clothes, they are able to wear their hair like nomads, they call their fathers and mothers, they are more picky than the Jingkang people before eating, they go out, almost all of them ride horses, and their children play with men and women...... The county government was ready to recruit some Dongxia people to be military soldiers, and the Dongxia people were also happy to respond, but they went to the county seat and saw the county lord, but they refused to kneel.

Soon, their shops appeared on the street.

It is said that the money of a family of Dongxia people is not enough, and the arrows where they are located are all sent up to send money to him. They were also ready to make up money, to give a small money village in the county seat Next, some villagers went to their store, and found that they did not distinguish between townships and pavilions at all, and they were the same to everyone, just like the big shops in the county, and more patient, if you picked the wrong thing, you repeatedly went back to change, and people were also willing.

The people were very fond of it, the businessmen were worried, and those nomads, as soon as they heard that the county town was recruiting Eastern Xia warriors, suddenly began to rein in.

Originally, the county could only walk to the countryside, but the Dongxia people came and quickly opened a carriage and horse shop in the county, and two coins could sit back to the township.

But there are problems.

Some elders saw that the Dongxia youth was heroic and martial, and the family was also solid, once they were acquainted, they were busy saying goodbye, but they were all feathers, and when they went home, they said that the Dongxia people did not intermarry with the Jingkang people. When it was reported to Yang Village, Yang Yanyan and her mother specially asked Li Hu, and Li Hu was asked inexplicably, saying, "No." I didn't say that intermarriage was allowed. It dawned on him that he guessed, "They already have a girl they like." On our side, men and women are afraid of getting married without seeing each other. Yanyan's mother was skeptical, but soon, such a thing happened around her.

Dongxia people for Li Hu to find more than a dozen craftsmen, wood, tile, stone, iron, among them, there is a tile, masonry is a book, according to Li Hu's standard is a master craftsman, people are twenty-five or six years old, Li Hu values the most, now the salary has been opened to two taels, the village people listen to his treatment, and then ask others have not yet married, they all feel that if they are not married, it will be delayed, Zhang Luo gave him a matchmaker, said a refusal of one, said a refusal of one, if the girl is praised for her beauty, he asked: "Can you let me meet." If the girl praised her ingenuity, he asked, "Have you ever read a book?" "Twenty-five or sixteen people, this is the life of a bachelor in Jingkang, but he wants the girl to be beautiful, to be skillful, to have a good personality, and the key is to let people study. The matchmaker returned home, closed the door and began to chew his tongue: "The Dongxia people don't give us marriage." ”

The media's support can be held to Yang Yanyan's mother's head.

Yang Yanyan and her mother held Li Hu for half the night.

When Li Hu came back after going there, he said, "I asked, but he didn't like it." After he came to us, he fell in love with Miss Hessel on the other side of the river, and Miss Heyser had a fiancé, and when she went north to the desert, she didn't like to take care of him. And he doesn't have a copper handle, and people don't like it. ”

Yang Yanyan asked which one was Hessel.

Yang Yanyan knew it, "Ah", and shouted at her mother: "It's the one who ties a lot of braids and wipes her forehead, and she also asked me what Li Hu is, I don't understand, so I won't tell her." ”

Mother and daughter both looked at Li Hu.

Li Hu actually didn't know what the copper handle said.

He didn't stay long in the folk of Dongxia, and he analyzed it on his own, and when he saw that his family was pressing, he said: "The decoration on the handle of the knife is matched." If you have done a good job, you will give color. The brass handle is still the lowest. People say that if they ask for a proposal, if they haven't given it yet, they must take their father and brother's to show their father-in-law, otherwise, if the woman's family is a family with great achievements and high honor, they will not look down on it. ”

As soon as she said this, Yang Yanyan became interested and repeatedly asked: "Li Hu." So what do you have in your family? ”

Li Hu was forced to be anxious, so he had to say: "Our family is a wooden handle, I only joined the army, and I came back after the battle, and I have never been given." ”

Yang Yanyan was relieved and said, "Then I'll bring Heyser to play at home tomorrow, Li Hu, you don't have a copper handle, and people don't look down on you." ”

The next day, she really brought Hysel back to play.

The people in the family were curious, so they asked Haisel, whether it is necessary to have this hand, that hand, so that a young man can find a good girl, Heisel nodded again and again, dangling a small braid, she said: "One of my sister's handkerchiefs got married that year, his fiancé came to the door, do you know what people brought, more than a dozen weapons, his father fought with our king, it was Yuhan, his uncle also fought with the king, it was Jinzhu, his brother, himself, his cousin, his brother-in-law...... A table was full, my sister's father let his daughter go with him without saying a word, and the bride price was returned the next day, and two white horses and three carts of dowry were returned, and the surrounding relatives and neighbors also made up a car, although the husband's family did not want it, but when the dowry was given, we all knew that a whole dozen horns sounded in order, and both the older and the younger ones volunteered to follow the escort dowry, and the horse was half a mile long, but the scenery was beautiful. ”

Yang Yanyan and her mother said "ah", and hurriedly asked her: "Why is that?" ”

Haissel was moved and said, "Their family has given a lot." A dozen people in their family are fighting for the country and fighting for everyone on the battlefield, shouldn't such a family be respected? We have a saying that when a martyr sheds blood on the battlefield, how can he make their loved ones cry. ”

Yang Yanyan and her mother knew.

Yang Yanyan immediately wrinkled, and said softly, "Sister." Our Li Hu has nothing, wooden. If it were with you, wouldn't it be possible to marry a daughter-in-law? ”

"Not necessarily," Heiser said. Some people study literature, there are literary honors, and there are gongxuns, but if I want to marry, I will marry a gift, and my fiancée's family is a silver hand, but he? It's also a wooden handle, isn't this going north to the desert, saying that you have to bring the gold handle back and marry me again. ”

After entertaining Heater, he sent him away, but somehow, he brought the dog chestnut and her mother.

Chestnut and her mother came for Heissel.

Dog Chestnut also fell in love with others, her mother saw someone coming out of Yang Yanyan's house and was sent away by Yang Yanyan, without saying a word, she touched the door, thinking about letting Yang Yanyan and her mother be the matchmaker.

The age of the dog chestnut is not small, different from before, now the dog chestnut and her mother have confidence, the dog chestnut is Li Hu's henchman, now this stone field has begun to produce stone pieces, as soon as the big stone bathtub is chiseled out, someone will come to the car to pull it away, and the dog chestnut will definitely be too solid in the future.

When she came up, she asked Hai Sayer, asked Yang Yanyan how much her mother knew about her, Yang Yanyan was good with her, and knew about her family.

Yang Yanyan and her mother already understood, and when she mentioned it, she shook her head and said, "Old sister, don't think about it." The girl in Dongxia is not so easy to marry......"

Dog chestnut and her mother said, "What's the matter?" Not worthy of her? My dog chestnut is now the head. In a few years, your family Li Hu will open the stone field, and he will treat my son badly. They came from a foreign country, and although they were temporarily wealthy, how could they say things that they were not worthy. Does she have relatives in the family? Here, I have a lot of relatives, I don't know how many relatives my mother's family has, you can take care of their family not to be bullied, right? ”

Yang Yanyan and her mother said that she was not a matchmaker, so she said, "Big sister." People don't even want to be the master of Dongxia, can they be willing to us? ”

Anyway, Yang Yanyan and her mother told her that she didn't understand.

The two old sisters were a little unhappy, talked for a long time, and finally broke up unhappily. Yang Yanyan sent Heissel back, just when she ran into Dog Chestnut and her mother leaving, but said: "Heissel is too likable." Just now out of the village, I saw Wang Xiaoqi, he followed us all the way, and he didn't take his gang of dog friends, followed us all the way, but I hated it, Heiser whipped him, he said with a dead face that he was serious this time, I was afraid that he would follow someone to someone's house and tell him that Li Hu was our family, so he walked away in a gloomy way, do I want to tell Li Hu and let him warn Wang Xiaoqi? ”

Yang Yanyan and her mother thought for a while and said, "Come back in the evening and tell Li Hu that Hai Sail is such a good girl, and she is going to be harmed by Wang Xiaoqi." Isn't that a shame on the face of our Jingkang people? ”

Li Hu is much lighter now than before.

The master craftsman He Baifan is the real master of Dongxia from the arrow to the weaving all the way to the Niu Lu, to find the real master, specializing in stone and wood, supervising the construction of stone cannons, is a craftsman who has graduated, after he came, he has not built a waterwheel, but the waterwheel has been built, Li Hu is now, is lying behind him to learn from him, now the focus is on transforming the ruler, Li Hu turned over the book of Zhiyu, and now he is following him, he must tell him these means of reference, to avoid him from taking detours. As a result, because He Baifan had experience in supervising the construction of stone cannons, he actually made two wooden carts that pulled flywheels. The man sat on it and kicked the wheel, and the wheel pulled the sand wheel that polished the stone tools, and when the two men joined forces, when they did not wash with water, the grinding wheel sparked when it hit the stones.

He grinds the jade sand finely, mixes it with glutinous rice and other binders, and makes grinding objects and grinding wheels.

He planned to combine the method of twisting with drilling wood for fire, which was used to punch holes and deal with stone crevices.

He also intended to experiment with iron sawing stones.

The magical means of the craftsman fascinated Li Hu.

Li Hu is now following step by step, he draws drawings, Li Hu also follows the painting, he thinks, Li Hu also thinks, he experiments, Li Hu also follows the experiment, Li Hu is in full swing of learning, he doesn't see anyone all day long, saying how busy and busy, in fact, now he is not busy at all, just do this.

The bathtub seems simple, but it becomes a huge test.

Digging out the middle part of a boulder is not a simple thing for them.

He Dajiang thinks of two ways, one is drilling, drilling deep holes in the middle of the stone, so that they are no longer one, and then chiseling, digging stones, the other is splicing, not digging from the whole boulder, drawing the shape, the size is set, compliant and compliant, and then splicing, splicing is the formula of building the city and mixing sand, when installing it at home, it is not to suspend the bathtub in the air, but to build a platform with green bricks, and the parts are mixed with sand to be embedded in it...... The stone is finely polished, the platform is well built, the gap is solidified when assembling, and the sand mixing is used under the stone, which is equally beautiful and practical.

Inspection, drilling is more difficult, not easy to cooperate, more importantly, the bathtub is thick, want to make thin, carelessly, knock the chisel when the wall to crack the crack. The second way seems complicated, but it is alive, with the current irreplaceable jade line, the traces of the good ink line, sawing down, five or six jobs, less than a day can come out of one, and it can be polished well, polished to be as round as porcelain, that is, when it is sold, it is necessary to follow the mason, build the platform, and install it.
