Chapter Twenty-Nine: Making Clothes for the Red Fox
In Su Changgeng's opinion, the niece should grow some wheat, and the wheat left over after paying the rent on one hundred and twenty acres of land is ground into white flour, which is enough for the old lady and niece to eat for a year, and it is better than tossing these things that don't know if they can grow food.
If these lands belonged to the Su family, Su Changgeng would definitely not let his niece toss like this, these lands were given by Ji Hua, and he could only watch from the side and be anxious.
In the afternoon, the waterwheel came, Su Xiaoluo led people to assemble according to the drawings, Su Changgeng couldn't understand what his niece wanted to do, no matter how she looked at it, it didn't look like farming, but like she was playing at home.
"Mother, I want to get my eldest brother back, Xiaoluo has so many fields, wouldn't it be a pity if there is no food. Besides, even I, who have been farming for more than ten years, have never heard of those new farming methods, is she really a little girl? ”
Su Qin's clan is also worried! The granddaughter is not one acre or two acres of land, but one hundred and twenty acres of land!
"Do you know where your eldest brother is?"
"Last month, Carpenter Li saw my brother in Jinqiao County, and said that he was feeding horses in a big family surnamed Zhang over there, and I went there to inquire."
"Your brother, hey! Why hasn't he given up? ”
"Mother, he hasn't seen anyone outside for so long, and he will die soon."
I hope so! The mother and son discussed things with Su Xiaoluo on their backs, and Su Changgeng set off, and Su Xiaoluo, who didn't know that he was questioned about his ability, had already led someone to set up a waterwheel.
Zixu personally went up to operate it, and there was no problem at all for people who knew kung fu to operate alone for an hour.
"Miss Su, can I tell the master the drawings and operation methods of the waterwheel?" The master he said was someone else, but it wasn't Ji Hua.
Su Xiaoluo nodded, Ji Hua helped build the house, and gave him so much land, help him do something.
"Bang, bang, bang!" The gong sounded in the village to call everyone to a meeting, Su Xiaoluo put down what he was doing, and helped his grandmother to go to the village chief's house.
The village chief's daughter-in-law saw Su Qin's and moved a stool for her, and Su Xiaoluo thanked her and stood quietly behind her grandmother.
"I want to announce a big event today, the new emperor will ascend the throne in three days, so everyone will put aside the things in their hands after three days, and we will congratulate the new emperor on his accession to the throne together." The village chief looked very excited, if it wasn't for the lack of rank, he really wanted to see the grand occasion of the new emperor's accession to the throne with his own eyes.
A new emperor ascends the throne? Su Xiaoluo was confused when she heard it, she didn't know anything about the royal affairs of Qifeng Kingdom, and thought it was something far away from her! I didn't expect to be involved in such a lofty thing.
The village chief also explained some things, such as putting on clean clothes after three days, cleaning the village in the next few days, and paving the roads under the jurisdiction of Liulin Village on the official road with yellow sand......
When they returned home, Su Qin and Tinker Bell asked Zixu about the situation in the capital and asked him if he knew about the situation of the new emperor.
"I only know that the new emperor is a seven-year-old child, and I don't know much else!" Zixu glanced at Su Xiaoluo and said.
"Oops! Isn't that about the same age as Ji Hua? Speaking of Ji Hua, Su Xiaoluo really missed him a little: "Brother Zixu, when will you go back to the capital to help me bring a letter to Ji Hua!" ”
Zixu pursed his lips and nodded: "Miss Su, if you knew the true identity of that Young Master Ji Hua, I guess you wouldn't be so calm.
"It's too late to go to the tailor's shop to make clothes, tomorrow Brother Zixu and I will go to the county seat to buy some fabrics and come back...... Who will make clothes? "Su Xiaoluo's needlework is limited to sewing buttons and the like, and nothing else is at all.
"Slaves and maids can make clothes." Sister-in-law Ma said.
"Slaves too!" Sister-in-law Jiang also stood up.
Tinker Bell told Su Xiaoluo that she would also sew clothes and embroider purses.
"You're so good, why can't I?" Su Xiaoluo looked at his hands over and over again, if he didn't know how to make clothes, it should be a big disadvantage in ancient times! Will you not be able to get married because of this?
If the other party finds fault because he is not a popular woman, it doesn't matter if he doesn't marry, such a person is not uncommon.
Let Sister-in-law Ma and Sister-in-law Jiang calculate how much fabric they need to make new clothes, Su Xiaoluo wrote it down on paper, and even wrote down the needle and thread.
"Xiaoluo, you can write!" Su Qin said in surprise.
How can I forget that I am a little village girl, and I should not know a big word: "Milk, I am also blind to draw, do you like royal blue or purple clothes." By the way, I have to buy a dress for my second uncle tomorrow, why didn't I see him today! Su Xiaoluo hurriedly diverted the topic.
Su Qin didn't want his granddaughter to know that his son had moved the rescuers, so he talked about making clothes along Su Xiaoluo's topic.
Zixu is literate, glanced at the paper on the table, it was actually Xiaokai, the handwriting was beautiful and beautiful, who could write such words with blind drawing.
It seems that this girl is also a hidden person, no wonder she dares to scare her master, it seems that people also rely on her.
Zixu disliked that the ox cart was too slow, put his horse on the cart, and pulled Su Xiaoluo to Daxing County to buy fabrics, fortunately, the two of them went early and snapped up a few blue cloths, two cyan fabrics, one dark purple, one lilac, and one red cloth.
I went to the grocery store to buy some daily necessities, bought some preserved fruits for my cousin, bought brown sugar and jujubes for my grandmother, and cut a piece of meat before going home.
"You kid knows how to spend money indiscriminately, and you have to spend a lot of money to buy these things!" Su Qin's heart said that it was time to call the eldest son back, and as far as the granddaughter was concerned, there were mountains of gold and silver at home that she could use.
Countrymen are used to being diligent and thrifty, and they have never seen anyone buy so many things at one time, this is food and clothing, and ten taels of silver can't buy so many things!
"Milk, the money earned is spent! Sister-in-law, you can help my grandmother, Fusheng, and Zixu measure it and make new clothes for them! Tinker and when you come into the house with me, I'll draw a picture and you make clothes according to it. "Su Xiaoluo wants to make a set of clothes that are suitable for going to the ground and can usually be worn to go out.
Tinker Bell wanted to leave with the red cloth in her hand, and Su Xiaoluo told her that she was going to use the lilac material to make clothes.
"What about the red ones?" Su Qin and Tinker Bell asked together.
"I bought that red material to make clothes for the red fox."
A room of people looked at each other when they heard Su Xiaoluo's words, and even Zixu from the capital widened his eyes, they heard for the first time today that someone said that they made clothes for animals, and they all suspected that they had heard it wrong, and Zixu also deliberately plucked out his ears.
"Ahem! Don't make such a fuss! I make the red fox's clothes myself, so I won't trouble Sister-in-law Ma and Sister-in-law Jiang. ”
Sister-in-law Ma and Sister-in-law Jiang hurriedly measured the size of Su Qin's and Su Fusheng, lest Su Xiaoluo assign the matter of making clothes for the red fox to his head, and they would make clothes for people, animals...... I've never tried it before!
