Chapter 3: Winter Is Coming (Part II)

"What are you thinking?"

Wei Yan was in a trance, Xie Jiu was not asleep yet, his dark eyes were open, and he asked Wei Yan in a low voice. Wei Yan patted her and said, "The sick number quickly went to bed obediently, why did you take the medicine and become energetic?" ”

Xie Jiu smiled, and he was a little closer to Wei Yan, his watery eyes were very seductive, and he said, "People are in pain all over their bodies, and they can't sleep." ”

"Slap" a slap, not heavy, hit this sister's buttocks, through the quilt, Wei Yan scolded with a smile: "What kind of demon moth, just rest when you are sick, and then seduce me, be careful to correct you immediately." ”

Xie Jiu grinned, didn't speak, just looked at people with a pair of eyes open, Wei Yan rolled his eyes, went over helplessly, and said consciously: "Okay, sister, I'll give you a massage, don't hook people anymore!" Say, how do you press it? We are amateurs to massage! ”

After coaxing Xie Jiu to sleep, Wei Jiu didn't sleep all night, as long as Xie Jiu next to him was a little troubled, he would wake up. Who knows what changes will occur in their bodies that they are accustomed to modern medicine and environment after coming to ancient times, so Xie Jiu's illness really scared him, for fear of some kind of unadaptable situation, not because he was scared by a small cold.

They have all been here for half a year, and it stands to reason that the water and soil adaptation should not be an outbreak at this time, I hope it is just an ordinary cold.

got up early in the morning, called Xie Jiu to take medicine, drink water, eat breakfast, and let her continue to sleep, Wei Yan went out to find the craftsman, what are you doing? Pan Kang!

There is no air conditioning, and the stove is afraid of carbon monoxide poisoning, so if you think about it, the kang is the safest and very warm. More than two people's rooms, even in the lower people's rooms, are put on the plate, asking the housekeeper Uncle Cheng to concentrate the people, Wei Yan explained the burning method of the kang or something, I don't want them to be frostbitten, and I don't want them to burn the kang too much, and they will be on fire by themselves.

The craftsman, Wei Yan was introduced to Carpenter Zhou. Business, of course, is to take care of acquaintances first, and among the craftsmen who are familiar with Wei Yan, there is Zhou Nianfu Zhou carpenter.

Carpenter Zhou and his family are very grateful to Wei Yan, the head of the family, every time they talk to Wei Yan, they are respectful, which makes Wei Yan very uncomfortable, in his opinion, he just found a craftsman with good craftsmanship to make offerings, how can people give him the feeling that he has done a great thing.

After a detailed explanation, the craftsman began. Carpenter Zhou also helped on the side, and said to Wei Yan: "Young master, don't worry, the people I am looking for are all brothers with good skills, and I will never miss the young master's explanation." ”

Wei Yan smiled and patted Carpenter Zhou's shoulder, and said with a smile: "You do things, I don't worry." By the way, do you know how to engrave plates? ”

"Simple engraving can be engraved, but complex engraving requires better craftsmanship. What does the young master want to print? I also know a good carver, so I can introduce you to them. ”

Wei Yan thought about it, pulled Carpenter Zhou into the study, and asked him to look at the drawn form, after Carpenter Zhou read it, he said that this is very simple, he can do it, Wei Yan quickly handed over the work to him and let him operate.

Carpenter Zhou is very honest, when he has no work to do, he is a little uncomfortable with Wei Yan's salary, and often runs to the door to help do other things.

Engraving printing is a relatively early printing method in Chinese history, and movable type printing, each has its own merits, and the application is different. Not everything is backward, and not all new inventions are progressive. Engraving printing and movable type printing, the applicable situation is different, however, Wei Yan plans to recruit craftsmen to experiment with movable type printing, if it can be sorted out, and used together with engraving printing, learn from each other's strengths, it is also a progress of the times.

Wei Yan's decision to put the whole Wei Mansion on the kang obviously touched a lot of people, and when he finished ordering things and turned back to the backyard, when he looked at his younger brother Xiao Lori, he saw that he was creepy, that kind of starry eyes, too lethal.

"Bought a lot of people's hearts?"

As soon as Wei Yan entered, Xie Jiu said this with a smile. Rolling his eyes, Wei Yan said hatefully: "Yes, why didn't I buy you?" It's still good for the ancients, unlike some people, cut. ”

Xie Jiu was angry, glanced at the guy very coquettishly, and put down the book in his hand. Wei Yan found that this sister is usually free, and it seems that she always keeps books in her hand, in other words, can she understand classical Chinese?

Counting on her fingers, the books that this sister has read, starting from the thousand-character text of enlightenment, to the interpretation of words, it seems that in half a year, she has read through many books, and some even read them three or four times.

"Madam, if you are idle and bored, we can do something else, for example, develop a beauty medicinal diet or something, and don't have to read books so masochistically, this Chinese language, it looks quite torturous, I am still used to vernacular."

Xie Jiu smiled: "The two of us, there must be one to learn, right?" It's not good to be illiterate all the time, I'm influenced by my mother, I have a bit of a foundation in ancient literature, and I started learning again, and I can't write articles, but I can't read the meaning, and it shouldn't be too much of a problem. ”

Wei Yan was speechless, hugged her and kissed her fiercely to express her feelings, it's good, two people, you have to live like this.

The kang plate of the Wei Mansion is good, Wei Yan immediately took the craftsman to the Yiguo Mansion, his old father-in-law is also a loss of qi and blood, belongs to the people who are afraid of cold in winter, there are good things, and they can't forget their father-in-law.

As soon as he put the kang on the Yiguo Mansion, Cheng Zhijie, who heard the news from nowhere, came to the door, and before anyone came in, he raised his voice, and he could hear it from afar: "Wei Shilang, you know how to honor your father, and the old man is also your uncle, so you don't know how to be filial?" ”

Wei Yan shuddered, and hurriedly said, "Uncle Cheng, isn't the little nephew going to bring someone over?" Don't worry, Uncle Cheng, you should be old and strong, my father-in-law is weak in blood and is afraid of cold in winter, so we must take care of the poor first, right? ”

"Even if you kid has a conscience, it's not in vain that the old man takes care of you so much."

Cheng Zhijie smiled heartily, and his big fan-like hand patted Wei Yan's shoulder very hard, making him feel the urge to pounce, and the girl's hand was too strong.

gave Qin Laoguo a public plate, basically, everyone in Chang'an knew about it. This old man, I don't know what's wrong, since he came back from hunting, as soon as Wei Yan gave him some good things to "pay tribute", people hurriedly took it out to show off.

Rocking chairs, now the rich and noble families in Chang'an City, basically have one hand; Foot massager, older people, basically have one, now the kang, old man Qin, the first thing is to recruit those old brothers who fight the world together, show off, in winter, we are just as hot.
