The emperor's expression was solemn, and he said coldly: "Didn't Qiu An already say it? What is the crime of the mastermind?! ”

The king of Han was extremely depressed, and secretly glad that the emperor did not ask about Wanniang's disappearance. As for Chen Lin, he is just a lifter, so give it up.

Chen Lin felt that his mother confessed her guilt and was sent to dedication, and he should have avoided this catastrophe. Unexpectedly, a few days later, the emperor sent a decree to his father-in-law and punished his father-in-law for one year. At the same time, he also announced his punishment: never hired.

"Never hired?" Chen Lin was stunned. From the inside out, from top to bottom, the body and mind are cool. He fell to his knees with weak legs, climbed a few steps and hugged Li Chongyuan's thighs and cried: "Father-in-law, I have been wronged, wronged!" ”

Li Chongyuan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead: "Wronged? Your Majesty has shown mercy! "I didn't settle the crime of kidnapping Wanniang with him, and only punished him for one year's salary, and he didn't have time to thank him! As for Chen Lin - "The emperor didn't get rid of you, it's a blessing!" Now I will give you two ways. His voice was cold, and he didn't have any warmth, "First, go to other provinces and be a staff master." If you have the opportunity in the future, you can make a comeback! ”

Chen Lin asked unwillingly: "Is there another way?" ”

Li Chongyuan sneered: "Take your mother back to your hometown and be a teacher honestly!" ”

Poor talents, rich people. The reason why there is no one who is poor is because the future of the person is brighter and the rate of return on investment is higher! Now that he has the emperor's "never hired" four words, he will only suffer white eyes and shameful laughter when he returns to his hometown!

He immediately dried away his tears, got up with a bone, and regained his old demeanor: "The son-in-law is all arranged by his father-in-law!" ”

Master, master, master! The emperor is old, who can say what will happen in the future?

As for Wan Niang - Chen Lin was really complicated in his heart, and couldn't help but ask: "Why does your friend have to find Wan Niang?" The weaver girl in the weaving yard can also ask for one or two! ”

Li Chongyuan said casually: "The top suspects her and-" He shut up vigilantly and glanced at Chen Lin. "Is she really the child daughter-in-law that your family bought back when she was a child?"

Chen Lin's heart was beating wildly, and he insisted: "You have also seen the deed of sale, can it still be fake?!" ”

"Who taught her how to weave?"

Chen Lin had already thought of the wording: "In the past, there was an old woman in the village who worked as a weaver in the big weaving workshops in Suzhou and Hangzhou. After returning to his hometown in old age, he took in a few apprentices. Wan Niang is one of them. ”

Li Chongyuan's frowning brows relaxed: "I see!" "This matter, probably because the above is too sensitive, but it folded his daughter and son-in-law. Alas!

The news that Chen Lin was reprimanded by the emperor as "never recorded" spread to the public, and the people applauded! There are even those who show off their talents, or those who have made a windfall and intend to repent of marrying and marrying, all of them are frightened and dismiss their thoughts, and they dare not repeat Chen Lin's mistakes. Wan Niang unknowingly became the savior and role model of many women!

At this time, there was a family of six standing in a row in the backyard of Songzhuzhai. They are all plainly dressed and clean, and they are cautious and do not say anything.

Su Shi and Bai Lan were both surprised: "Bai Tang, this is-"

Xu San didn't come today, and his little servant Yuanqu smiled and explained to Su: "Madam, this Master Liang Lin Liang is from Suzhou. He used to work as a supervisor in the Suzhou Weaving Bureau, and was responsible for repairing the textile machines of the Weaving Bureau. ”

Liang Lin is less than forty years old, with a good appearance, and his face is quite weathered.

His wife Zhou and daughter Qingrui are both typical Jiangnan women, with a petite body, which is somewhat similar to Bai Lan. The second son Liang Dong is thirteen years old, and the youngest son Liang Hua is only eight years old. When his family was good before, Liang Dong had read books for a few years, and he was also handsome, quite bookish.

"Ma'am." Liang Lin said with a smile, "Just because I broke my leg in an accident, I was sent out by the Weaving Bureau." Xu Sanye said that your family can give me food, so he brought a family to come. ”

Su Shi said sympathetically and unevenly: "The Weaving Bureau is too disrespectful, and if you break your leg, you don't have a broken hand, why bother cutting your work?" ”

Bai Tang said: "Mother, Master Liang is not an ordinary textile machine!" ”

Su Shi was flustered: "What other flower heads does the textile machine have?" ”

Bai Tang then smiled, led everyone to the courtyard where Wan Niang lived next door, pushed the gate of the flower hall, and a behemoth more than three people high and more than six meters long appeared in front of everyone.

Wan Niang turned around in surprise. Quan Hong slowly climbed down from the top of the machine, put down the tools in hand, and saluted: "Lian Gongzi, Madam, Miss." ”

Bai Tang bowed his head and said: "Since you came, Wan Niang has one more right-hand man!" "His father asked him to learn to be a shopkeeper, he is good, there is always half a day on Wan Niang's side. Either help her repair the loom or help her prepare the silkworm room. There are many and reasonable excuses, and Bai Tang can't find a reason to refuse!

Wan Niang's smile immediately froze when she saw Liang Lin. I took a step back in horror!

Bai Tang's pupils shrank: Wan Niang, Wan Niang! Who are you?

Liang Lin didn't notice Wan Niang, his eyes were full of this half-old broken machine with many missing parts, and his eyes were so excited that his eyes were hazy: "I didn't expect, I didn't expect that I would be able to deal with Hualou Machine again in my lifetime!"

Su Shi blinked and asked Bai Tang curiously, "What is the flower building machine?" Remembering what he had just said, he pointed to the behemoth in surprise and asked, "This, this is also a loom?!" ”

Flower building machine, one of the greatest inventions of the ancients!

In ancient times, the intricate patterns on clothing could not be woven by ordinary looms. During the Han Dynasty, a simple flower building machine came into being. In the Ming Dynasty, the structure of the flower building machine has been very mature.

Bai Tang stroked the wood that glowed with a gentle luster under the accumulation of time, and sighed with emotion: I don't know how many gorgeous brocade silk has been produced by this flower building machine, and how many women have been pleased with those beautiful silks? Even, conquered the world through the Maritime Silk Road?

Liang Lin wiped his tears of excitement and said with a smile: "Madam, this is the flower building machine!" Most of the materials with complicated patterns in the high-end cloth row outside are woven by such machines! ”

Su Shi's eyes widened: "But, this seems so complicated—which of you will call?" ”

Bai Tang looked at Wanniang with a smile. Wan Niang laughed at him so much that goosebumps oozed from her arms.

Su Shi patted his head: "I'm stupid." Wan Niang, since you brought it back, you will definitely use it! ”

Wan Niang hesitated for a moment and nodded very lightly.

Liang Lin found Wanniang at this time, first surprised by the scars on her face, and then said solemnly: "Which big weaving workshop did the girl work in?" ”

The operation of the flower floor machine is complicated, the flower worker sits on the flower floor, sings and pulls, according to the pattern of the flower book one by one to lift the heald opening, the weaver steps on the ground heald, throws the shuttle and beats the weft. The two need to cooperate tacitly and respond sensitively, and they must be the most outstanding female workers in the weaving workshop!

Wan Niang unconsciously took another step back, and Quan Hong stood in front of her silently, staring at Liang Lin vigilantly.

Liang Lin suddenly felt embarrassed: "The girl forgives her sins, and she is presumptuous." "Since Lian Baitang invited him here, he naturally has to do his duty." There are still a lot of things missing from this flower building machine, but it doesn't matter, I have brought everything from home. As long as I am given the right wood, and with the help of this girl and husband, I can get it back up and running in ten days! ”

Bai Tang clapped his hands and said, "Okay!" ”

Liang Lin hesitated for a moment and asked: "It's just that the flower building machine is easy to repair, practice the son, do you have a flower book at home?" ”
