Chapter 287: Glass

Xie Mulin didn't know what he was talking about between his mother Wen and Xie Yingfen's biological mother Wanqin after he left.

When she returned to her new residence, she saw that Li'er had already made up the bedroom, the bed and curtains were all in place, and the incense to repel mosquitoes was lit in front of the window, so she yawned, changed into her homely clothes, fell into the bed, and took a nap.

Li'er took the green banana to work quietly outside, continuing to pack her luggage.

The house was cleaned early, the furniture was fully furnished, and there were many furnishings and decorations sent by the housekeeper of the new house early. What the two girls have to do now is to arrange the daily necessities that Xie Mulin is used to, and then put the things she brought back in a category where they should be placed, and arrange the whole room into a living place that she likes.

The amount of work is not very large, but the matter is very trivial. The girl slept, but the two girls didn't dare to rest. In addition to the two of them in the courtyard now, there are only two rough mothers-in-law waiting. In such a big place, there are not enough people to do things, but they can't say a word of bitterness. Work hard now, get things done properly, and you will be able to relax in the future. The personnel in the hospital are simpler, and they will be able to worry less in the future. And after revealing their talents, they will be more decent in front of other subordinates.

Xie Mulin slept so much that he didn't know who was going on, how did he know the twists and turns in the hearts of the two girls? She had already instructed Li'er that if she needed help, she would go to the housekeeper and ask for it. If Li'er doesn't say it, how can she take care of it?

Still, when she woke up and found that her room had completely changed, she was still in a good mood.

In the new courtyard, she occupies five rooms in the north room, and currently uses the main room as a small living room for entertaining guests or discussing matters; The lighting and ventilation on the east side are good, clean up and make a living room, there are two side-by-side Duobaoge on the north wall, there is a round table embroidery pier in the middle, there is a wide Luohan bed under the window, there are a few low beds on the bed, she usually reads books and does needlework here, and talks with close sisters and friends here, which is very comfortable; At the east end is the bedroom, the bed frame dressing table, the embroidered screen high cabinet, everything, and a small door leading to the first clean room of the east house, bathing and changing, all of which are just a matter of lifting the feet.

There are two rooms on the west side of the main house, which are currently packed out as a study. In the second room, there are bookcases, bookshelves, bookshelf, pianos and other things, and at the end are bookshelves and a small couch. The books brought back from Jinling City, the books bought on the way south, all will be put here. The small couch can be used for Xie Mulin to rest on weekdays, and can also be used for the girl when she is on duty at night.

Xie Mulin walked around the cleaned room, and then instructed Cuijiao to ask the housekeeper for a chaise longue, bench and other furniture, and put it in the west room. When she has nothing to do, she goes to the library, holds an idle book in her hand, puts a small table of tea and snacks on the side of the bench, turns a few pages of books, and then drinks tea and eats snacks...... It's a small day, and it's really beautiful to think about.

She also noticed that the windows in the north room were all glass windows, and the clean room was also a small glass paste paper window, which was very pleasantly surprised.

Li'er told her: "I heard the mother-in-law here say that when the new house was repaired, the master did not hesitate to work, how comfortable and how to repair. Girl, don't look at this house doesn't look gorgeous, compared to the family's mansion on the Pearl Bridge, it looks much more rustic, but there are many good things in it! Not to mention the glass windows, there is also the pottery pipe that transports water, the bathroom in the clean room is also special, clean and spacious, the drainage is fast, and it will never accumulate congestion, even everywhere in the courtyard, there are enough wide drainage pipes, no matter how heavy the rain is, there is no need to worry about the old house becoming a pond. I heard that when I was repairing the house, I specially invited a craftsman from the Ministry of Internal Affairs! It's just that he didn't say anything. ”

Xie Mulin hurriedly asked, "How could the craftsmen from the Internal Affairs Department come to our house?" This house was built in secret from the Cao family, right? The old lady may not even know. Also, this glass ......," she paused, "it must be quite expensive, right?" ”

"Naturally, it's much more expensive than papier-mΓ’chΓ© wooden windows." Li'er said, "But this glass window can block the wind and be bright, so it's good to use!" Although it is a little more expensive, it is not difficult to buy it with the official position of the master. This is the property of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but there are workshops in every big city. The glass in this new house was all pulled from Huzhou City. I heard that up and down Xie Jiajiao, except for the Zongfang, our second room and third room, there is no other family that can afford so many glass windows. ”

Li'er didn't know where the craftsmen of the Internal Affairs Office came from, she had heard all the news from the rough envoy in the courtyard, and she hadn't had time to go elsewhere.

However, Xie Mulin still kept an eye on it, since there is glass in this era, although the popularity is average, it is not rare, and it can be seen that it can be mass-produced. The high price means that the recipe is kept secret. It sounds like it's still a monopoly of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and that's an industry sold by the government. I just don't know, did the formula originally belong to the royal family, or was it confiscated by the royal family?

If it is the former, it means that the "inventor" himself is from or married into the royal family; If it's the latter, she'd better not "invent" any technology that is too lucrative, and it's better to keep a low profile in order to save her life.

Over the past few months, she has probably figured out what kind of social environment she is in.

This dynasty is said to be the Ming Dynasty, and the royal family is also surnamed Zhu, but many places are different from the Ming Dynasty in history that she knows. For example, the current era name is Jingle, the era name of the first emperor is Tianchang, and the previous emperor, that is, the son who took the heir is all dead, and can only succeed the only son of his own brother to succeed the unification of Mingrenzong, the era name is Chengde.

These three era names are very unfamiliar to Xie Mulin. Even if she has a bad memory, she doesn't remember every era name used in the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible to miss three of them. Therefore, this dynasty is no longer the Ming Dynasty she knows. It may have been patronized by other travelers, who have changed some history, left behind some technology, and may even have changed the provenance of some poetry articles.

It's best for her not to set up a woman for herself casually in the future, once she says the wrong thing and the character collapses, she will be ridiculed by the group, and she won't be able to see people at all.

But with the time and space of the Traveler's predecessors visiting, and lighting up some tech trees, she might be able to find a way to inquire more. Relying only on the materials in the study space, she can't eat for a lifetime. If there is a legacy of her predecessors, of course she can't let it go.

Besides, when she wanted to take out something in the study space, if it was mentioned by the seniors of the traverser, it could be regarded as providing her with a source, right? It also saves her from racking her brains to explain how those things came about.

Xie Mulin happily finished his room and turned to the open space in the backyard. The clearing, which is still a muddy field, seems to have been intended to be used to plant some flowers and plants, and she can plant whatever she likes.

Xie Mulin thought about it carefully, the life she is living now seems to be more inclined to the style of farming, but studying agriculture and cultivating grain seeds is not her professional strength. Putting mud on concrete looks clean, but it's too wasteful.

She could have planted something, such as flowers and plants. The fourth sister, Xie Yingfen, complained that the orchids in her yard were of average variety and did not bloom well. That's because good orchids are too expensive, and there was no owner in the new house before, and no one appreciated good flowers, so why spend that unjust money? But because some famous flowers are expensive enough, as long as they are successfully cultivated, they are famous and beneficial, and they are very in line with the identity and aesthetics of everyone's ladies, which is quite affordable.

Xie Mulin remembered the information related to flower planting technology in his study space, and decided to open up a new business for himself.
