Chapter 367: The Sound of Weaving in the Alley

The summer breeze swirls in the alleys, and along the trees on both sides of the street, all the branches and leaves are swaying in the wind. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Hui Niang dragged Wei'er and disappeared a long time ago, and Su Niang, who rushed to hear the news just now, had already personally led people to catch up, after all, letting Xiao Yangzi, an invincible killer on the battlefield, secretly protect people, it was simply abusing him, not to mention that it was still a princess of the Ming Dynasty, a sister of His Royal Highness the King of Ming, if these two people had a little accident, Xiao Yangzi would have to go around without eating.

In desperation, Ye Yingwu could only drag Su Niang out of the house, Wei'er was originally a big ghost, which sister in the backyard didn't hold this little girl in the palm of her hand, it just so happened that Su Niang didn't go to the six doors today, so she simply came out······ With children.

"Little lady Huang, take a look at this spinning wheel, is there anything inappropriate?" A deep voice came from the alley, echoing in the wind.

Ye Yingwu, who originally walked outside the alley, was stunned, but immediately stopped, grabbed Zhao Yunshu, and seemed to be leaning on the outside of the alley as a thief, looking inside.

Several big men were busy nervously, while more plainly dressed women were surrounded by water outside, and the people behind even stood on tiptoe to look inside. I only heard Huang Daopo's crisp and refreshing voice from the crowd: "Okay, that's it." Sisters, please come forward. Let me show you how this spinning wheel works. ”

The crowd that was still whispering suddenly quieted down, and several craftsmen cautiously stepped aside, obviously not trusting the equipment they had transformed under the command of Huang Daopo. And Huang Daopo didn't think it was wrong, just smiled, and said loudly: "It turns out that your sisters weave and control such a machine, not to mention three people, but now after the slave family absorbs the textile skills inherited by the Li people in Yazhou and transforms it, only one person can use this textile machine." ”

Many women all showed surprised looks, and one of them even shouted loudly: "Sister Huang family, we have also heard that all the state capitals on Jiangnan West Road in the west are promoting this kind of device, but I don't know if this thing really works like this?" ”

Huang Daopo laughed, simply walked straight to the machine, and began to control it without the slightest hesitation, because it was transformed with a waste textile machine, so it looked like a very dilapidated machine, and slowly began to run, all the onlookers women and even craftsmen couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Stepping on the spinning wheel with her feet, the wheels are spinning fast, and Huang Daopo calmly stretched out her hand to hold the cotton yarn, and the cotton yarn and cotton thread are being born at a speed visible to the naked eye. According to normal times, such results are enough for two or three people to be busy for half an hour, but Huang Daopo only used a stick of incense, and the movements of her hands and feet cooperated with each other, like flowing water in the same way, not so much spinning, but playing moving music.

"Good!" I don't know who was the first to shout, and the crowd was full of cheers.

Huang Daopo breathed a sigh of relief and walked down from the spinning wheel, not even seeing beads of sweat on her forehead, but just patted the spinning wheel behind her lightly, her eyes were full of appreciation and trust for her partner.

"A few masters, help our family transform the spinning wheel!"

"And our family, and our family!"

"No matter how much it costs to renovate this spinning machine, count one of our families first!"

I don't know how many people have embraced it, but fortunately, Huang Daopo is now a noble person, and she is one of the few talents that Ye Yingwu can find.

There was a servant who stopped the almost fanatical crowd, Huang Daopo did not panic, but just stretched out her hand to suppress it, and still shouted loudly: "Fellow villagers and sisters, don't worry. His Royal Highness King Ming has ordered that the transformation of all spinning machines in the home will be funded by the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court, so the villagers do not have to worry about the price. ”

"That's true." As soon as they heard that it was free, many people who were still a little worried looked at the spinning machine with almost fanatical eyes.

Some people have even turned around and bowed solemnly to the place where the Daming Palace is located.

Looking up at the sky, it was already close to noon, Huang Daopo exhaled softly, and said that she still had to walk two more streets to say anything today. Just when Huang Daopo wanted to leave, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of the crowd, which surprised Huang Daopo, but she has traveled south and north over the years, and she can be regarded as having seen the world, and she has not lost her temper yet.

"I didn't expect to meet Yanai here, and I missed the distance, and I hope that Yanai will not be surprised."

Ye Yingwu smiled slightly, walked behind the officials with Zhao Yunshu, and blocked the eyes of those people with the help of those officials. And Huang Daopo took the opportunity to lower her voice: "I don't know what His Highness is called." ”

"Little Lady Huang is polite, Zhao didn't expect to meet Little Lady Huang here." Ye Yingwu raised his voice and said, "Since April 1, you and I haven't met for three months. ”

Huang Daopo looked at Ye Yingwu's slightly twitching face and Zhao Yunshu's little hand that pinched the soft flesh around his waist at some point, and almost burst out laughing: "Yes, I haven't seen Zhao Yanei for a while." ”

At this moment, a street chief walked up quickly: "Huang Xiaoniang has made great contributions to improving the textile machine for my people, and it is not too early now, Huang Xiaoniang might as well have some meals here, although the food is simple, but it is also everyone's heart." ”

Seeing the man and woman standing in front of Huang Daopo in the wind of Yushu, the chief there continued with great interest: "The two must be friends of Huang Xiaoniang, if you don't dislike it, it's better to stay and dine together." ”

Suddenly, Huang Daopo and Zhao Yunshu both looked at Ye Yingwu.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Ye Yingwu did not hesitate to arch his hand.

Huang Daopo glanced at Ye Yingwu in some surprise, but still showed a smile: "Then it's troublesome." ”

After the chief left, Ye Yingwu said in a deep voice: "How much has this new textile machine been promoted in Jiangnan. ”

"In these three months, the slave family started from Lin'an Mansion, the entire East and West Road of Liangzhejiang has been almost, and Jiangnan West Road has basically covered all the state capitals, and now the people sent out to promote the textile machine are heading towards Guangnan East and West Road and Jinghu South North Road, and it is estimated that they will soon arrive in Sichuan and Shu." Huang Daopo said carefully, such as a number of family treasures, "It's just that many people have moved in the city of Nanjing in the past three months, so the slave family has to come over and teach it again." ”

Ye Yingwu nodded: "Nanjing is the imperial capital in the end, and it is not surprising that it attracts many people. ”

"It is precisely because there are many people that the slave family is not at ease, and they came in person, just so that the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven cannot be inferior to other state capitals." Huang Daopo said with a smile, remembering one thing, "The promotion of the new textile machine started in Lin'an Mansion, and please don't be surprised by Zhao Yanei." ”

Rolling his eyes, Ye Yingwu arched his hand to Huang Daopo: "I want to congratulate you and Chang Xi, not to mention the talent and appearance, the husband and wife are the talents of my Ming Dynasty, how fortunate it is!" ”

Huang Daopo and Li Si have already married, and now there is only the final procedure of eight sedan chairs to marry. As a descendant of the former Song Dynasty Han Wabi, Li Si held a grudge against the Southern Song Dynasty because his ancestors insisted on the Northern Expedition, but after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Ye Yingwu had already rehabilitated Han Wabi, and even set up an ancestral hall for him, and Li Si had also restored the name of the descendants of the Han family.

In order to be able to match the identity of Li Si Zhonglie, Ye Yingwu even asked his father to recognize Huang Daopo as a righteous daughter, and when the time comes, Huang Daopo will marry as the righteous sister of His Royal Highness the Ming King of the Dynasty, and she is definitely worthy of Li Si. The husband and wife are also very grateful for this, but it is nothing for Ye Yingwu, after all, with the ability of Li Si and Huang Daopo, in order to make the two of them loyal to Daming, it is worth paying more for themselves.

"Come on, a few distinguished guests, please try the craftsmanship of our villagers." The chief knew what kind of status Huang Daopo was for Da Ming, and Huang Daopo's old friend was naturally not a small role, so he served the food in person with great hospitality.

I have to say that the mayor here is really modest, or in order to entertain Huang Daopo, this piece of street is really bloody, two sheep and two pigs have been slaughtered, and the big plate of river fresh is served, and the chief does not forget to point to the fish with a smile and say:

"This was just caught in the Qinhuai River this morning, it's fresh!"

Ye Yingwu hurriedly stood up and solemnly arched his hand: "Captain, you can also sit down together." ”

Li Chang was stunned, seeing that this young man called "Zhao Yanei" had an amiable smile, and he did not have the majesty of the superior, he couldn't help but have a good impression in his heart, put down the plate at the moment, and carefully sat opposite Ye Yingwu. And Ye Yingwu saw that there was a fifty or sixty person in it, and he was still restrained and cautious when he sat here, so he simply poured a glass of wine:

"Captain, Dao left meet, respect age, the younger brother is here to pay tribute to the elder in a cup."

can mix into the position of the lieutenant chief, and he is also a young and shrewd character, and now he can't figure out the way of this ya, where does the lieutenant have the courage to let him toast, and he stood up in a hurry: "Little brother Yushu is in the wind, a dignified talent, how can I let my little brother toast!" ”

The long talk here is interesting, and Zhao Yunshu and Huang Daopo, who were still a little worried, both smiled.

In desperation, Ye Yingwu could only clink glasses with the chief and drank it all, and the chief also asked tentatively: "Little brother and little lady Huang are old friends, I don't know who they are?" ”

Ye Yingwu waved his sleeves and stretched out his finger to point to the Confucian crown on his head: "The younger brother is a native of Jiangnan West Road, Huang Xiaoniang was ordered by His Royal Highness King Ming to improve textile machinery in Xingzhou before, because the family has a lot of spare money, my father simply let the younger brother take it out, which is counted as a donation from the local squire. It's just that the imperial court is now recruiting talents, and in September, the younger brother was lucky enough to pass the former Song Chunyu, and he was sent to this Nanjing city by his father. ”

It turned out that he went to Beijing to take the exam! Li Chang breathed a sigh of relief, originally thought that it was some dignitary at the feet of this son of heaven, but this does not mean that this Yanai can be underestimated, after all, he is not an ordinary local squire, but from Xingzhou. That is when the son of heaven started the place, if it is not for the narrow area of Xingzhou, the ancient shape of the victory, but not as the capital of the place, I am afraid that there is nothing to do in Nanjing now, the people of Xingzhou is also the earliest, the fastest into the Ming Dynasty, and with the support of the parents and officials of the Xingzhou counties that have occupied the center, Xingzhou has gradually become the center of the Ming Dynasty in the Jinghu area after Xiangfan and Ezhou.

And the loyalty of the people of Xingzhou to the Ming Dynasty is also a lesson from heaven and earth.

So don't look at this little Yanei, maybe His Royal Highness King Ming had received the favor of their family when he was in a difficult time, and with the character of His Royal Highness King Ming, it is indispensable to support this junior.

Seeing that there was a little hesitation, Ye Yingwu said generously: "You are old, you don't have to think about someone else, we are not here, and we came to the capital for the scientific expedition to be able to give my father an explanation, in fact, I am able to take my wife to the mountains and rivers along the way, and have a glimpse of my Chinese country." In the past, there were frequent wars and inconveniences, but now it is rare to be peaceful, so naturally we have to enjoy it. ”

The lieutenant subconsciously glanced at Zhao Yunshu, and his eyes couldn't help but stare at him, but after all, this is an old man in his fifties, and he is almost in the age of sixties, and he is not very interested in the girl's appearance, and his eyes quickly turned back to Ye Yingwu, obviously what Ye Yingwu said just now can arouse his interest even more: "Yes, in the past hundred years, there has really been no such rare peace as now." If it weren't for His Royal Highness the King of Ming and our good men of the Ming Dynasty all the way over, I'm afraid that the Mongolian Tartars would have drunk the horse river by now! ”

Seeing that Ye Yingwu still had the same smile on his face, the chief sighed softly: "Many of the neighbors here have fled from the north, thanks to His Royal Highness King Ming, otherwise I am afraid that these have all turned into lonely ghosts." So now, who in every household is not enshrined in the immortal tablet of His Royal Highness King Ming, only begging him to bless our people a lot, and he can live a long life! ”

Thinking of one thing, the lieutenant said more and more excitedly, and even danced a little with his hands: "Yanei, don't you know, our street has also been selected to join the army this year, and now although the Mongolian Tartar has confessed to our Daming, but as long as he dares to make any changes, our Daming's good sons and daughters will still shave his ears, and kill all the way from here to Huanglong Mansion, and then we may be able to come out of so many heroes in this street, how glamorous, how glamorous······"

The voice gradually deepened, and the chief hid his face with his sleeves, and there was already a faint cry.

Huang Daopo looked at Ye Yingwu and said softly: "The old man returned to the north, when he was young, the Mongolian Tartars and the former Song Dynasty fought in Heluo, and the old man's wife and children were all dissipated in the chaos, and only this alone came here, and now I am afraid that I am thinking of grief." ”

With a look of pain on her pretty face, Zhao Yunshu put down her chopsticks: "Husband, ······"

Ye Yingwu was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "This troubled world, after all, has passed, I believe that as long as His Royal Highness the King of Ming is still there, as long as this Ming Dynasty is still there, as long as the good sons of the Ming Dynasty are still alive, naturally I will not sit back and watch my rivers and mountains in China be trampled by the iron hooves of foreign races again, and all kinds of shames in the former Song Dynasty will be washed away by my good sons and daughters of the Ming Dynasty with the blood on the neck of the enemy!" ”

The originally lively alley suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at Ye Yingwu in surprise or curiosity, they didn't know why this young man who was not dressed in a strange way was able to sit with the lieutenant and the little lady Huang, but they all heard this loud words clearly.

After a brief silence, the alley erupted in a wave of cheering.

Although these words came out of the mouth of an ordinary young man, everyone knew that what they represented was their expectations for the future, the promise made by His Royal Highness King Ming, and the grand wish that the whole of China had been humiliated for hundreds of years and finally wanted to be realized!

Exhaled, Ye Yingwu sat down again, and the lieutenant had already wiped away his tears: "A handful of old age and horse pee, but it makes Yanei laugh." ”

After being silent for a moment, Ye Yingwu carefully picked up a piece of fish meat and put it into the bowl inside: "The man doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place." The pain in the old man's heart, the younger brother understands it very well, but we still have to live our days, doesn't the old man want to watch my Ming Wang Shi go straight to Huanglong? ”

The lieutenant reluctantly nodded.

"I heard that Da Ming will welcome back the bones of the soldiers of the Northern Expedition Huai Army in two days, why don't you take the villagers to see the good men who sacrificed their lives for this country." Ye Yingwu smiled and said, "If there is a fate at that time, the chief may be able to see so-and-so." (To be continued.) )
