Chapter 547: Straw Hats (1)

The days that followed, calm and unwavering.

Sanyuan's case, because of Li Shimin's obvious attitude, Wei Zheng was sick at home again, and he didn't go to the court for a long time, many people chose Xianmo, after all, there are too many questions and flaws in this case itself, Zhao Gui's horse is handled like this, although it is a bit out of line, but it is not excessive, anyway, at the beginning of the matter, it was also Zhao Shoude who made a mistake first, no one would be stupid enough to stand up at such a time and defend such an insignificant little person as him, and no one wants to be the bird who came out and bumped into the emperor.

In short, in a word, Li Shimin's trick is very effective, and it really deters some people, at least, in a short period of time, Liu Fu and Liu Ertiao are returned to a clean and peaceful place, and those officials who are still thinking about making difficulties with Liu Ertiao can't help but retract their minds and dare not make any more practical moves.

Liu Yiyi is still as always, quietly doing his teacher, the previous time by the princess Huanzhu returned to the court, the canonization banquet Shangfang Xuanling and others caused by the impact of the overtures, but also because of his inaction during this period of time and gradually calmed down, faded out of the sight of many people. No matter how much he was valued by those important ministers before, after all, he was still just an insignificant little teacher.

Liu Yiyi's performance during this period of time is, not to solicit rumors, not to show off, quiet, honest, teaching students after work every day, accompanying his wife after work, coaxing children, rarely going out, even if someone deliberately invites, but also refuses, like those who ask for songs and lyrics, they all refuse, rest and recuperate, but also enjoy themselves.

The cucumber seeds planted by the three princes and princesses in the palace have sprouted and grown, and after only half a month's effort, they began to spiral up along the dead branches on the side, and the tallest one has already caught up with the size of the little girl and reached the waist of Liu Yiyi. And at this time, June, it has arrived.

The day is hotter than before, except for a little coolness when I just got up in the morning, other times are a warm piece, busy in the garden for a while, the body and face, it is all sweat, the enthusiasm of the three little guys to work, is also so hot weather to the sun without a trace, every day as long as I talk about going to the garden to hoe grass, irrigation, pollination, catch insects, the three little guys face, will show a bitter color.

After half a month of light exposure under the scorching sun, the exposed skin of the three people was already dark. Xiao Li Zhi and Xiao Zizi, one is a boy, the other is still young, but I don't feel anything, but Xiao Ya, the princess of Huanzhu, has already understood some things, and the girl's beauty-loving nature has also begun to reveal at this time, so, looking at her inconsistent skin, the little girl is sad for a while, and has complained in front of her brother-in-law more than once, looking at the resentful look on her face every time, Liu Yiyi intuitively feels that she seems to have done something heinous and bad.

Therefore, after hearing the little girl complain in her ear a few times, Liu Yiyi, who couldn't stand it, thought of a solution.

Straw hats.

Agricultural straw hats woven with water weeds, wheat straw, bamboo strips or brown ropes, etc., are light and inexpensive, and the brim is particularly wide, worn on the head, the brim is as wide as the shoulders, can shade the sun, can avoid the rain, can fan the wind, convenient, practical, is the rural area in later generations, when the weather is hot and the farm is busy, an indispensable thing.

In the past, when Liu Yiyi went to northern Shaanxi for an internship, he was very interested in these small things, and he also studied with the craftsmen in the local village for a period of time.

So, last night, he asked Xiao Yi to go and find some wheat straw back, and sat down in the yard like that, and spent one night weaving four small and wide straw hats with those grass-yellow straws, one by one, coiled and entangled. Chu Chu and Xiao Yi, who were on the side, were amazed for a while, it turned out that the hat could also be woven like a basket, why had they never thought about it before?

Xiao Yi is just that, he grew up in Di Mansion since he was a child, he didn't go through farming, he didn't have much exposure to the sun, he only felt curious, funny and amazed, and he couldn't see the value and role of this kind of straw hat, so he directly saw them as a kind of hat with a strange style. However, Zhang Chuchu is different, since he was a child, he has grown up in the fields and mulberries, suffering from the sun and wind, and he can see the usefulness and value of these straw hats at a glance.

Light and clean, low cost, the material is only the straw of crops, and the weaving method is simple, if it can be popularized, if every farmer can wear such a hat on his head when the weather is hot and busy...

Zhang Chuchu was once again amazed by the production of his husband's whimsy, holding the straw hat made by his husband's own hands, the little girl's face was full of pride and pride, his husband was a genius.

"What is this, sir?"

"What a strange hat..."

"How is it made of straw? Brother-in-law, shouldn't bamboo be used for hats? ”

In the morning, in the study room of the Lizheng Palace, when Liu Yiyi distributed the three straw hats to the hands of the three little ones, it naturally attracted a bunch of strange questions. Just like last night when the straw hat was first formed, Chu Chu and Xiao Yi had a very instinctive curiosity about this strange thing that they had never seen before.

"First of all, it's not a hat, but it comes from a hat, and it can be used as a hat when necessary." Liu Yiyi waved his hand to stop their voices, and whispered to the three little ones: "For the teacher, it is called a straw hat, which is made of wheat straw, light and portable, and shelters from the sun and rain, and you can also understand it as a hat on a sunny day." In the future, when you go to the field to farm, wear it on your head, which will provide shade and shade, and prevent your skin from being burned and your complexion will become gray, and it will be easier and faster to do things. ”

When he said this, Liu Yiyi deliberately glanced at the little girl, if it weren't for the fact that this girl had always complained in his ear before, he would not have thought of the craft of weaving straw hats.

"Really?" As if they had some novel toy, the three little ones, especially the little girl, showed a hint of joy on their faces, and they all raised their hands, put their straw hats on their heads, and looked eager to try, thinking that they would go to the garden to experience it.

"What the teacher said is not a lie," Liu Yiyi waved to the three of them with a chuckle, and said softly: "Go to the back garden with the teacher to experience it for yourself, and you will know the beauty of this straw hat." ”

The straw hat on the head will feel a little stuffy at first, but under the scorching sun, wearing such a straw hat is definitely a pleasure compared to when the head is bare. Although the body is still hot, although the sweat is still unabated, the feeling on the head will definitely be a hundred times more comfortable than usual, and with this straw hat belt, it can also greatly avoid the danger of heat stroke, which is why in later generations, in the countryside, in the countryside, this kind of straw hat has always been deeply loved by farmers.

It's about 7 to 8 o'clock in the morning, because it's June, the sun is getting brighter, and the sun has risen to a high level, and the warm air is a little hot.

Liu Yiyi also buttoned the straw hat to his head, and tied the two silk threads at the end of the hat to his chin and neck. Because the straw hat is new, there are still some edges and corners in some places, and when you wear it for the first time, it will be a little uncomfortable, but after wearing it for two days, the edges and corners will be flattened, and there will be no more problems.

Holding his hands around and watching the three students wearing straw hats shuttling through the garden, taking care of their own cucumber vines, and from time to time raising their hands to touch the branches and leaves on the vines and the male flowers in the armpits, Liu Yichi nodded and chuckled, his three students are all very responsible children.

In fact, cucumber is definitely a kind of lazy crop, just like corn and soybeans in later generations, it belongs to the kind of species that can have a good harvest as long as it is planted and has little management.

The reason why Liu Yiyi chose cucumbers as the type cultivated by the three little highnesses, and made them busy in the field every day, is because the growth period of cucumbers is not long, and they can see results soon, and secondly, they want to give them a little confidence, as well as sharpening, lest the crops just come out, they will be tortured to death by these little guys. After all, Yanagi never expected that these three children would become excellent farmers or peasant women in the future.

"Mr. Liu!" Hurriedly walked to the back garden, first looked at the strange objects on the heads of Liu Yiyi and the three little highnesses in surprise, Xiao Dezi said to Liu Yiyi in a sharp voice: "The queen mother is going to come to the garden to enjoy the flowers today, and the villain came over to talk to Mr. Liu first, saying that Mr. Don't pay attention to it, just follow the weekdays, don't have to retreat." ”

"Yes, the student knows, there is a pass from General Manager Lauder!" Liu Yiyi bent over, feeling a little strange, so he arched his hand to Xiao Dezi and asked: "Dare to ask Mr. De, now is not the flowering period, there are only a few flowers in this garden, why did the queen suddenly remember to come to enjoy the flowers?" ”

"The thoughts of the queen mother, how can a villain be unpredictable?" Xiao Dezi turned his head to look at Liu Yiyi, glanced at the cucumber vines in the open space in the garden, and said in a shrill voice: "However, Lord Su, the Great Si Nongqing, will accompany the queen mother this time." ”
