When the manpower was enough, the work of raising silkworms at home also returned to normal, Liu Meiniang asked Aunt Li to be the supervisor, and let Wu Cuicui, Liu Xiaomian and a girl named Yang Huabasket be the team leader, and several people raised silkworms and took silk in the built shed.

Zhang Li's health is also much better, and he can act on his own, under Zhang Jihan's proposal, Liu Meiniang decided to hold a banquet and invite the whole village to come over and be lively, and the new house is built, which is also a big event in the village.

Zhang Li and Aunt Li also agreed.

Liu Meiniang and Zhang Jihan took another trip to the county seat with an ox cart.

It has been more than a month since Liu Meiniang last came to the county, and in this month, Zhang Jihan is in charge of the supply of the Spring Manlou of Caiyi Pavilion in the county.

After this period of growth, Zhang Jihan can almost take charge on his own, he can talk about business with Boss Gao and Xue Wuyi, and sometimes he will convey some of Liu Meiniang's ideas to the two of them.

"Miss Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time." As soon as he entered the Caiyi Pavilion, Xue Wuyi walked down from the upper floor.

"Boss Xue." Liu Meiniang looked at Xue Wuyi, still looking sassy, and her mood couldn't help but improve.

Xue Wuyi wore a navy blue dress, compared to the first time, Xue Wuyi seemed to be more stable, still holding a fan in his hand, we don't know if the talent is hot or not, what are you doing with a fan, we don't dare to ask.

"Girl, come in and sit, pothos, serve tea, and brew the tea I brought back from the capital last time." Xue Wuyi made a "please" gesture on his hand, and Liu Meiniang didn't squirm, and followed upstairs.

"Sister-in-law, then I'll go and unload the silk first." Zhang Jihan was familiar with the way, and turned around to carry the things on the ox cart.

"Zhang Gongzi, just let the people below move these things, you can quickly enter the house and rest." The pothos who was going to make tea hurriedly stopped it.

She still likes Zhang Jihan, a child, she is polite and humble, every time she brings something over, she will personally help unload the goods, and the pothos has said many times that Zhang Jihan still goes to help unload things by herself every time.

"It's okay, Sister Pothos, I'll come." Zhang Jihan moved boxes of things from the car to the car.

Liu Meiniang didn't stop it, she knew that Zhang Jihan's original personality was like this, he used to like gambling, he didn't learn anything, and he was the kind of second-rate child in the eyes of outsiders, but in fact, Zhang Jihan was very good to his family, especially to Zhang Li's very filial piety, in her previous life, Liu Meiniang didn't know where she heard a sentence: filial children are not far behind.

"Girl, drink tea." Xue Wuyi pushed the teacup in front of Liu Meiniang, and Liu Meiniang took a sip of the teacup.

"The best Wushan is on the top, and Boss Xue has broken the bill."

"The girl is amazing." Xue Wuyi said with a little surprise, this tea is really Wushan Mengding, the annual output is very small, generally as a tribute, if it weren't for the fact that their old man has a little face, and now the saint has rewarded some, he didn't have a chance to taste it, but he didn't expect Liu Meiniang to know what kind of tea it was after taking a sip, which made Xue Wuyi surprised and couldn't help but wonder. Liu Meiniang, a little village woman in Liuhe Village, has too many confusing things on her body.

Liu Meiniang did not shy away from Xue Wuyi's eyes, she was not afraid of Xue Wuyi's suspicion, even if she doubted him, she would not have thought that there was another soul from another world living in this body.

And now the two of them are in a cooperative relationship, as long as they are smart people, they will not do things that are not smart.

Liu Meiniang's previous life was also a scholarly family, and she also had a study of tea, especially her father loved to drink tea, she was familiar with it, and she also knew a little about tea.

"Boss Xue, in addition to delivery this time, Mei Niang also wants to trouble Boss Xue with something." Only then did Liu Meiniang open her mouth to explain her intention.

"If you need help, just say it, don't be polite to me." Xue Wuyi waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

"I want to ask Boss Xue to help me take a look at this thing."

Liu Meiniang put a drawing on the table.

On the paper is Liu Meiniang according to the memory of her previous life, about a silk cutting machine, this is also a machine she went to the scenic spots in the south of the Yangtze River a long time ago, where she saw it, the general principle Liu Meiniang pieced together and drew it, but some details, Liu Meiniang still couldn't do anything, so she thought of Xue Wuyi, and wanted to see if Xue Wuyi could make a silk cutting machine according to this drawing, if it could really be made, it would be much more convenient to process silk in the future, Even one or two people can do what only a dozen people can do now.

"What is this?" Xue Wuyi picked up the drawings and looked at them for a long time, sometimes frowning, sometimes showing surprise.

"This is also something I figured out when I was idle, I called it a silk cutting machine, and I wondered, if I had this thing, would it be easier to peel the silk."

"This, this is too ...... This is what you came up with? Xue Wuyi's eyes were shining and he looked at Liu Meiniang.

"Well, this is going to trouble Boss Xue, see if anyone can make this thing." Liu Meiniang said.

"I'll arrange someone to do it next, I didn't expect the girl to be able to design a thousand machines," Xue Wuyi said in amazement.

"Boss Xue has won the award, I am just an ordinary peasant woman." Liu Meiniang smiled and said.

Xue Wuyi's admiration for Liu Meiniang in his heart was a little higher, where is such a woman like an ordinary peasant woman, she is obviously much more powerful than any talented woman in the capital.

The more you get along with Liu Meiniang, the more interesting Xue Wuyi feels, Liu Meiniang is like a treasure mountain, you don't know what surprises she can bring you next time.

"Miss Liu is really modest." Xue Wuyi shook his head and smiled.

"I heard Ji Han say that the house at home has been built, and Xue has not had time to congratulate the girl on her housewarming, I wonder if Xue has the honor to come and ask for a glass of wine?" Xue Wuyi said jokingly.

"Boss Xue is like a god, Ji Han and I came today to send silk to Boss Xue, and the second is to buy some things, set up a wine banquet at home, and invite the villagers to come to be lively, of course, if Boss Xue does not dislike it and can come, Mei's family will naturally be full of flowers."

Liu Meiniang didn't take Xue Wuyi's words to heart, after all, now she and Xue Wuyi are a simple cooperative relationship, and she wouldn't think that Xue Wuyi could really come to Liuhe Village over the mountains and mountains, just to congratulate her on moving to a new house.

"Since the girl was warmly invited, Xue was naturally disrespectful." After Xue Wuyi's words were finished, Liu Meiniang's face turned dark.

When did she be invited? When did she invite her!!

Looking at Liu Meiniang's unpredictable face, Xue Wuyi pretended to cough to hide the smile on his face.

After Liu Meiniang and Xue Wuyi finished speaking, Zhang Jihan was also busy, and the two said goodbye to Xue Wuyi, and drove the ox cart to the street to buy.

Passing by a bookstore, Liu Meiniang asked Zhang Jihan to stop and pulled Zhang Jihan into the bookstore.

"Little lady, what books do you want? The small ones can help you take a look. The little bookboy in the bookstore saw a guest coming in and immediately greeted him. Today, Liu Meiniang wore a peach-pink shirt and pants when she went out, and Zhang Jihan wore a cyan dress, which looked like that.

"Is there a three-character scripture and a hundred family names?" Liu Meiniang asked tentatively.

"Three Character Scripture? Family name? I have never heard of these two books. Little lady, can you elaborate on the content of these two books, maybe the small shop has it, and the names are different. ”

The book boy smiled embarrassedly, he had worked in the bookstore for several years, not to mention that he knew all the books in the bookstore, but he could memorize the common book backs. The two books that this little lady said sounded simple, and he hadn't heard of any of them.

"If not, forget it, then what else do you have that is relatively simple and suitable for reading after enlightenment?" Liu Meiniang continued to ask.

"This, little lady, can you read these two books?" The scholar took out two books from behind the counter and handed them to Liu Meiniang.

Liu Meiniang took it and took a look, one was "Poetry Collection", and the other was "Three Thousand Words of Daqi", looking at the title of the book, Liu Meiniang couldn't help laughing.

"This is a book for enlightenment." The little scholar looked at Liu Meiniang's face and felt a little hot on his face, so he hurriedly said.

Liu Meiniang nodded, indicating that she knew, and then walked around the bookstore, picked out a copy of "Daqi Chronicles" and a copy of "Records of Foreign Countries", and also took some rice paper, and paid the silver together.

"Little lady, these two books are one tael of silver, and the Chronicles of the Terroir and the Exotic Record are more expensive, two taels." The little scholar dialed the abacus.

"It's six taels and four pieces of silver."

Liu Meiniang happily paid the money, and Zhang Jihan went out with the book.

"The little lady will come back next time I buy a book." The little scholar happily sent the two to the door and said.

"Okay, thanks." Liu Meiniang waved her hand.

No wonder the ancient scholars were expensive, this ink, paper and inkstone are so expensive, just buying books is not something that ordinary people can afford, let alone the cost of entering Beijing to take the exam.

She also suddenly understood what a glorious thing it is to come out of a village and be a champion, even if she is a showman, she is also famous in ten miles and eight towns.

"Sister-in-law, this book is too expensive." When the scholar said the price just now, Zhang Jihan was speechless, but although it was expensive, they could afford it now, if someone told him before that he would spend six or seven taels of silver to buy a few broken books, Zhang Jihan would be 10,000 unwilling.

But now that Zhang Jihan is under the influence of Liu Meiniang, some views and concepts have also changed. After studying with Liu Meiniang for a while, after entering the city again, the signboards of many shops still had the words on the notices, and Zhang Jihan was very happy when he found that he could recognize them.

Reading is indeed useful, and Zhang Jihan has to admit it now.

"There is a reason why you are expensive." Liu Meiniang flipped through the exotic record in her hand, and was immediately attracted by the content inside.

"Sister-in-law, do you know all the words on it?"

Looking at Liu Meiniang's page by page, Zhang Jihan asked in surprise.

"What's all the fuss about, you'll know all of them later." Liu Meiniang closed the book and put the paper and book in a proper position on the car.

Zhang Jihan was shocked by Liu Meiniang's words, just now he glanced at the words on the book, he couldn't know much at all, a line of looks, there are ten people he knows, thank God, listen to Liu Meiniang's words, she knows all the words in the book, isn't this as powerful as the private school in the village?

"Oh, good, good sister-in-law." Although Zhang Jihan had many doubts in his heart, he still did not raise any questions.

Now what Liu Meiniang said, he is absolutely obedient.

"Let's go, go buy some more things." Liu Meiniang sat on the ox cart and urged.

The two of them bought a lot of things in the city again, and did not return to Liuhe Village until sunset.
