Chapter 87: Passing the buck
As she spoke, Sister Chen looked up at Tong Xiaowu, who was curious about studying the loom, such a woman who couldn't even weave cloth could really study the weaving method of new cloth? Don't change the soup without changing the medicine, change the color of the two warps, and casually send the county magistrate.
If she dared to deceive the Lord and the Madame, the four of them would not let her go in the first place.
Tong Xiaowu is not empty words, in her last life, her mother was a fabric pattern designer in a weaving factory.
She naturally understands something under the influence of her ears and eyes, but in the industrial era at that time, it was all computer numerical control, designing patterns, computer input, and even such complex work as embroidery, the machine could do it quickly.
It's not like this ancient time, it's handmade, and it's a lot of trouble.
So when it comes to machines, she's definitely going to have to look into it.
If you want to make a good cloth, first of all, the cotton thread needs to be reformed, and the textile method must be improved.
The main ones are the warp threads, which are the vertical cotton threads, and the order in which they are arranged can influence the method of weaving the cloth.
The weft can also be moved, just like the weaving method of Li Jin that she had seen in her previous life, that is, the manual weaving method that only uses the weft, hand-picking, each step is different, the workmanship is fine, the time is long, and the pattern style is also complex and diverse, beautiful, and has national characteristics.
However, Li Jin has a shortcoming, that is, it is not suitable for the masses.
The cotton in eleven villages, according to the market price, I heard that at least three or four thousand taels of silver, so much cotton is woven into Li Jin, so catch up with the joke, everyone is out, I am afraid that it will be finished in the Year of the Monkey, after all, it is too troublesome.
Besides, Li Jin is not suitable for the big market, only suitable for fine work.
What she needed was a fabric sample that could be mass-produced, so the loom could only move the warp, not the weft.
Tong Xiaowu squatted on the ground and looked at the loom, recalling the videos and information she had watched in her previous life, and then she stood up: "A few sisters go back, let's do this today, I also know a little bit about weaving." ”
"What's wrong with us? Madame let us accompany the girl, we can't go back! Sister Chen opened her mouth, her face a little reluctant.
Mrs. County Commander told them not to offend her, and now she finds that she doesn't seem to understand anything? Now you want to pick people up? Do you want to take advantage of the opportunity to escape?
Tong Xiaowu stretched her waist and said again: "I just want to go around the street, otherwise how many sisters will come with me?" ”
Feng Yuchen was still busy in the house, she didn't want to trouble him, anyway, she went to Buzhuang to go around, and they followed.
"Okay, good ......" The four of them nodded again and again, just in their hearts.
Tong Xiaowu thought as she walked, and when she saw the cloth village, she went in to take a look, and looked at the cotton cloth on the countertop, mostly coarse cloth, and some fine cloth gauze and the like, which were not as smooth as satin, and not as light as silk.
After looking at a few shops, she walked slowly, thinking about the appearance of Xinbu, when suddenly a curse came.
"Tong Xiaowu, you killed a thousand knives and ruined my daughter's marriage...... "Mrs. Chen rushed up like crazy with a howl.
The four weavers followed behind, and when they saw this scene, they stepped forward and blocked in front of Tong Xiaowu and scuffled with Mrs. Chen.
"Where did the crazy woman come from, she is really bold and dares to bully my girl."
Chen Meili stood aside with her baggage, crying into tears, thinking that her mother would embarrass Tong Xiaowu this time, but she didn't expect that before anyone arrived, she was stopped by several mothers-in-law and maids wearing the same clothes.
Tong Xiaowu was slightly stunned, I don't know what happened? She walked and strolled, and now she was on the West Street, and Mrs. Chen was holding the package, with an angry face, Chen Meili was still crying, seeing that this situation came out of Feng Dafu's house?
"Tong Xiaowu, you can't die a good death if you kill a thousand knives, if it weren't for you, my girl wouldn't have to suffer this grievance......" After Mrs. Chen finished speaking, she pushed away a few people in front of her, sat on the ground and cried.
"I can't live, I can't live this day, a good marriage has been mixed up by that slut......" She cried and slapped her thighs, her voice rose and fell, yin and yang frustrated, like singing.
Tong Xiaowu frowned, and the people on the street pointed and discussed.
"Aunt Chen, what are you talking about? I'm married, how can I get involved in your family's marriage? ”
Tong Xiaowu was also confused, and suddenly she seemed to remember something, when Feng Dafu beat Feng Yushan in the alley yesterday, she seemed to say something, saying that Chen Meili was not worthy of being the daughter-in-law of their Feng family.
Seems to be the case? Could it be that they were denied kisses?
"You, you ......" Mrs. Chen couldn't say clearly, this kind of thing has nothing to do with her, and it has nothing to do with it.
"Woo, I can't live, if you don't let Feng Yushan, you have to go to the government to sue them, how can their family not want my beauty, my girl!"
She began to cry again.
"Why should I let him? I have no relatives with him, no reason, what should I let him do? Besides, if I want to sue him because he is not trustworthy, if he receives and pays according to the contract, do I still have to sue? That's more than a hundred taels of silver? Am I blind to all this money? You're so funny......"
Tong Xiaowu finally understood what was going on, sure enough, because of yesterday's incident, the mother and daughter didn't find their own reasons when something went wrong, and blamed all the mistakes on others, and they really looked for scapegoats.
"What? Girl? Are you going to the county government to file a complaint? You don't need to go, a few of us will help you, it's really a joke, just rely on the friendship between the girl and the lady, and use you to go out in person?
As long as we move our mouths, we will immediately go to the county magistrate and interrogate the person whose name is Feng Yushan, who does not keep his word and frames others.
And the two of you, at first glance, are shrews, unreasonable, crying and making trouble, and want to beat and scold my girl, let me tell you, my girl is the county lord's honored guest, if you are disturbed, the county magistrate will ask for you? ”
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Chen and Chen Meili were startled, she hurriedly got up from the ground, and looked at Tong Xiaowu over there carefully, is she still the woman in the countryside? When did you become a distinguished guest of the county magistrate?
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, what are you doing?" Chen Xiang heard the maid's report that their mother and daughter had quarreled with someone at the gate, so they rushed out.
This saw a startle, last night Feng Dafu came back and told her what happened to Tong Xiaowu and others at the gate of the county government and the county order, and now the mother-in-law said such things again, isn't this going to add fuel to the fire and offend people?
