Chapter 1234: Amway
All the books and notes that Xie Mulin married to the Yan Wangfu were still sealed in the box, and they were placed on the bookshelves in the house before they had time to take them out. At this time, it is too troublesome to find it temporarily, in the eyes of the county lord of Yongping and the four princes.
They really just came over to sit for a while, hide and relax, and chat with the new sister-in-law by the way, so that she would not be bored alone in the new house. If the working bride rummages for a dowry, it is not a good intention, but a deliberate mess.
Therefore, the county lord of Yongping and the four princes waved their hands and twisted their heads in unison: "No need, no need, on an occasion like today, how can you work hard for your sister-in-law?" ”
Xie Mulin smiled: "It's not hard, it's easy to do." ”
Her dowry was indeed repacked and sealed after the dowry was dried, and nothing else was taken out for use except for the furniture, bed tents, etc., which were arranged in the new house on the day of the dowry. But if she really wants to find what she wants from the cages of the marriage, it is not too difficult. When she was staring at the boxes that day, she specially filled the boxes with labels, and made a separate list of dowry items, which served as a catalog index, and as long as she checked this index, it was easy to find out which box she wanted was in which box. Even the way the dowry boxes are placed, Zhao Fengnian and Rui Xue are arranged strictly according to the index she gave, and they also consciously leave space to find things, so as not to make it more difficult to rummage through the cabinets.
Therefore, when Xie Mulin said which notebook he was looking for, Xiangtao took out the dowry catalog index and checked it, and directly found the large wooden box containing the notes in the small warehouse where the dowry box was stored.
When Xie Mulin unfolded the scroll in front of the four princes and the lord of Yongping, which clearly drew the overall structure of the jacquard machine and the shape of important parts, the eyes of the four princes were straight: "This is really ......"
Xie Mulin had really learned this thing, and he could also give an explanation to the four princes, telling him which important parts were what they did, where the two people who operated them sat down, how each person moved, which mechanical part would react accordingly, what effect it achieved, and so on. The fourth prince finally had an intuitive understanding of the use of the jacquard machine: "The daughter-in-law sent by my sister-in-law's family to deliver makeup that day, although she knows how to operate other looms, can only say a rough idea of this jacquard machine, and really doesn't know how to act." I wondered how she didn't understand. Now I understand that this jacquard machine is to be woven by two people. That daughter-in-law is not a woman who specializes in working in a weaving workshop, where would she learn such a complicated machine! ”
Xie Mulin said with a smile: "The Zhao family has never learned a jacquard machine, and this jacquard machine is extremely difficult to operate, which is also an important reason." There are many weaving mills in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are many skilled weavers in each family, but not good weavers are necessarily able to operate the jacquard machine. It's a complicated trick here, and I just know a rough idea, so if you call me, I don't know how to do it. ”
She opened the notes that recorded various loom patterns, and pointed out one of the pictures for the fourth prince to see: "Another example is this lift, this is a new type of loom launched by our Xie family in recent years, and there is a shuttle part on it, which can make the shuttle pass between the cotton threads faster than ordinary looms, and the weaving speed is twice as fast as ordinary looms!" This is the Xie family's unique skill. The Zhao family has been with my parents for many years, but she doesn't know the situation in her hometown, so she can't operate this loom. ”
The fourth prince looked curious: "This shuttle ...... How to fly? "Lord Yongping is also very curious.
Xie Mulin thought for a moment: "It's really too late today. The lord of the county will also marry in a few days. It's better than this...... Before the county lord's wedding, if His Royal Highness could spare any day, he would come to the Yanwang Mansion to play for a day. When the time comes, I will call a few skilled weavers to come and operate every loom for the wedding to show the Fourth Highness, how about it? ”
The fourth prince was moved when he heard this, but the county lord of Yongping hesitated: "The fourth brother wants to come to our palace to play, and I want to ask the queen mother for permission, this is not a difficult thing." But if the fourth brother came to the palace to see how the loom weaves the cloth, I am afraid that the queen mother will think too much, and it will be bad if she misunderstands her sister-in-law when the time comes. ”
Xie Mulin quickly understood what she meant, because Wen had similar concerns. Xie Mulin sighed secretly in his heart, but his face did not show any different color, and he only smiled and said to the fourth prince: "It's okay, the Fourth Highness was not interested in this kind of textile matter, otherwise he would not have known that the most eye-catching thing in my marriage was all kinds of fabrics, but he didn't take a second look, just stared at the loom." The Fourth Highness is only curious about how those organs work, right? There are many boys who like this kind of thing, and it's not unusual, but it's just that they are curious. ”
The fourth prince smiled: "That's true. I've always liked institutions since I was a child, but I was afraid that my father would say that I wasn't doing my job, so I didn't dare to indulge in it, that is, I occasionally fiddled with it as a pastime. But I used to dismantle the chiming clock in my father's palace and put it back together, so that it could still walk as usual, and it could still sing when it was punctual time. When my father found out, he did not blame me, but praised me for my cleverness, and gave me the chiming bell. I was so happy in my heart that I often dismantled the clock from one place to another, and my mother laughed at me for tossing in vain. But even if the appearance of the chiming bell is different from each other, the principle of the mechanism inside is the same. After dismantling it a lot, I got bored and wanted to find something new to play with. My sister-in-law's loom here is very interesting, I didn't know it before, but now I know, and when I go back to the palace, I will ask the people from the Internal Affairs Office to get me a few looms, and I will also dismantle it to play. ”
The county lord of Yongping scolded with a smile: "Qiao Niangniang scolded you really right, whether it's a self-striking bell or a loom, just put it there and use it, what are you doing if you have nothing to do with it?!" If it's broken and can't be replaced, wouldn't it be a waste of good things?! What time is it? Even if the loom is not valuable, you can't leave someone to talk to it! ”
Xie Mulin was secretly surprised by the fourth prince's hands-on ability, and said with a smile when he heard this: "This is not a toss, this kind of thing is complicated from the outside, if you don't take it apart to figure out the structure and action principle inside, how can you know how it works?" After the Fourth Highness dismantled the chiming bell, he could restore it without a teacher, which is an extremely rare talent! There are only not many people in the world who can do this kind of thing, let alone the Fourth Highness is still so young! ”
After finishing speaking, she also gave a message to the four princes: "If the four highnesses understand the principle of any kind of machinery, it is indeed boring to just disassemble and assemble it, but if you can come up with a way to improve it, let the chiming clock add functions that were not available before, or make the loom weave faster and the patterns more beautiful, then it will be a merit!" Perhaps, the Fourth Highness does not rely on the identity of the prince, just this extraordinary talent is enough to leave a name in history! ”
The fourth prince suddenly laughed so much that his eyebrows and eyes were bent: "Sister-in-law praised it falsely, where am I so smart?" It's just a pastime. But he admits that it is a good thing to improve the organs, "If I think of any good idea, let the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs verify it, and if it really works, my father will be happy!" ”
Xie Mulin also did not expect the future heir to the throne to become an engineering man who did experiments himself, and the carpenter emperors in history did not have a good reputation. As long as the four princes can understand the importance of science and technology, and are willing to spend manpower and material resources to support professionals in research, it is enough. At her once-in-a-lifetime wedding, she was willing to go to great lengths to Amway various looms to the fourth prince, isn't it precisely for this?
She smiled and nodded in agreement with the idea of the Four Princes.
