Chapter 15: Fighting for the Jade Hall (3)
"Although Mrs. Shangdu is a provincial relative this time, the most important thing is to send the deceased old lady here." Mo Zizhen didn't know what to sell this pass for, but Sanniang asked her to say that she was as good as a stream, "Now it has been two months since the old lady was buried, but Wei's still eats vegetarian food, and he thinks he is a filial and compassionate person." If the girl wears flowers, she may not like it. Therefore, it is better to be plain, and it is also a generous style. ”
"The girl didn't say it earlier, and let the slaves and maids wear out their mouths for no reason." White lotus pouted.
Qiu Sanniang laughed out loud, haha had to say that it was fun to tease the girls.
Mo Zi saw it in her eyes, it was her cheerful temperament that made this eldest lady love and hate clearly, and her skills in making friends in business were first-class. However, when it comes to house fighting, it's almost hot.
"Mo Zi, I've been there for a long time, I almost asked Xiaoyi to find you!" In a blink of an eye, the playfulness was all over and he got down to business.
Mo Zi replied to Tian Da's words.
"Ci Nian An?" Qiu Sanniang mentioned it through Mo Zi, but she didn't put too much thought into it, "I think that lady loves to eat fasting and chant Buddha, and she has dealings with her sister-in-law." But there's a plus to know. Bai He, you go and find out the Heart Sutra prints I bought from Su Yang, as a gift of filial piety to the elders. ”
Bai He didn't move, "My good girl, the first time we meet, only the elders give the younger generations a meeting gift, how can the younger generations give the elders a gift?" ”
Qiu Sanniang smiled when she thought about it, "Look at me, I still think I'm outside." ”
"I can't send it today, but I will always have a chance to send it later." Mo Zi felt that it was a suitable gift, not extravagant, but also central.
"That's right." Qiu Sanniang stood up, "Let's go, don't wait, no one will inform us." ”
"Girl, I still have something to do." Mo Zi gave a general account of what happened in the Yan Tower.
Qiu Sanniang frowned after hearing this, "A group of boring gentlemen, what do you compare with the singer for no reason?" The good thing is that you won. When I get back, you'll have to tell that story again. ”
Mo Zi said yes, with Bai He, Green Chrysanthemum, and Xiaoyi followed Qiu Sanniang to the verandah.
The sun is setting in the west, and the clouds are burning in the sky.
"It's enough to have the three of them to serve Bai He, you don't have to go with you." Qiu Sanniang left Mo Zi as usual.
"Mo Zi, I left a snack in the kitchen, if you don't want to cook, eat a snack cushion first. When I get back, we'll eat again. "White Lotus is the kindest.
It's said to be a feast, but there is no part of the girls' food. Generally, they eat dry snacks first, and then they can go to the big kitchen to receive the meal after the feast. And Sanniang allows them to cook and eat in the small kitchen, which is a very good master.
"What's the need to be so pitiful?" Qiu Sanniang's beautiful eyes rolled, "When the banquet starts, you will take turns to come back for dinner." ”
"My good girl, then you have to let Sister Baihe go back first. In this way, we can all eat ready-made. "Green chrysanthemum is wearing Qiu Sanniang.
"Mo Zi, since you are guarding the house, you can cook." Qiu Sanniang deliberately.
"She, she doesn't practice just talking." Bai He's index finger is a little black purple head, "I can't do it if I can eat it." ”
"It's called blessed." Mo Zi pursed her lips lightly, "Hurry up, don't let people rob the girl's head." ”
Laughing, the three of them hugged Qiu Sanniang and walked out of the yard.
Mo Zi closed the door and tied it, went to the kitchen to get a plate of snacks, and then entered the corner room of the West Wing.
This house was originally stacked with sundries that could not be used, but now Mo Zi and Qiu Sanniang asked to be used as a carpentry room. A large board table is divided into two sides. Paper on one side, wood on the other. There are all kinds of tools scattered around the corner, common saws, planers, files, etc. But her favorite thing to use is a palm-long blade. The wings of Xiaohua's butterfly are cut out of this blade, and they are as thin as paper.
When she first bought it from the blacksmith shop, she thought she had accidentally found a magic weapon. can be identified by Xiaoyi, it is at best a relatively sharp knife. But if she thinks that her left hand has the ability to work hard, she is not so confident.
Holding her chin with one hand and picking up a piece of cake with the other, Mo Zi tilted her head to look at the drawings she had drawn these days, except for the one at the bottom, the others were all ornaments and toys.
She's an engineer, not a mechanic. She knows how to compartmentalize, how to calculate the draft, how to reduce the water resistance, especially the design of the various parts of the battleship, which can be said to be at her fingertips. But in this day and age, there are no engines, no electricity, no fuel, no steel, and all the hardware equipment is not yet there.
In the past six months, her only improvement is probably the graphite pen. And it can't be called an invention, it can only be called an improvement. Because as early as the Western Han Dynasty, there was an existence similar to a pencil. She just mixed graphite powder and lime powder, solidified them into thin strips, and embedded them in the pre-made half-round wooden pipes, and then combined the two semi-circular wooden pipes to form a pencil shape. Although she followed the wisdom of the ancients, her improved pen was delicate and durable, and her appearance was much more beautiful.
Mo Zi belongs to people who don't use their own brains. Because, compared to the soft brush tip, the graphite pen is more convenient to draw, and this is when the pencil comes to mind.
After five or six pieces of pastry, she pulled up the picture at the bottom, looked at it again and again, and changed it again and again. I didn't realize that time had flown by, and it had reached the middle of the moon.
She was muttering to herself that she was going to do it again when she suddenly heard the courtyard door slamming into chaos.
hurriedly stepped out of the house, but found that the moonlight in the yard was cold on a bluestone floor, and it was faint and cold.
Oops, forgot to light the lights.
If Qiu Sanniang comes back from a banquet, she has to talk about it. Don't look at Qiu Sanniang who is like sisters to the girls when she gets better, she has committed her taboo, she is still a daughter, and her temper is very big. For example, she wakes up from a nap to drink hot tea, and likes to brighten up the yard at night.
Mo Zi can see this very clearly.
"Mo Zi, open the door, open the door quickly." It's white lotus.
Mo Zi hesitated whether to light the lamp, stopped in the courtyard, and asked, "Is the front scattered?" ”
"Nope." There was a clear tension in Bai He's voice.
Mo Zi heard that Qiu Sanniang hadn't come back yet, so she didn't worry about the lamp anymore, and stepped forward to pull the leash. As soon as I opened the door, I saw Bai He holding a bright yellow glass cup. It seemed to run by, the lamp flickered, and Bai He's breathing was rapid.
Thinking that Bai He rushed back to cook, Mo Zi smiled, "I ate all the dim sum, and I was full." You don't have to really come back and cook. ”
"Mo ......" Bai He crossed his waist with one hand, lowered his head to adjust his still rapid breathing, and then raised his head suddenly, his eyes were propped up, "Mo Zi, it's terrible." ”
Mo Zi chuckled in her heart, her smile hidden, but her expression did not change, "What, is it possible that our girl has let his wife let him go?" ”
"It's not the girl's problem, it's you." Bai He changed his heart this time, "Mrs. passed you over." ”
Mrs. pass her? Mo Zi immediately thought of Ai Liu's mean face.
"Why pass me on?" Mo Zi did not hesitate, stepped out of the threshold, and closed the door with both hands.
"The banquet was withdrawn early, and the wife called the officials to sing, and said that there were too many little girls, so we who were waiting around us were driven downstairs, leaving only the big girl ring of the wife and wife. After touching for about an hour, suddenly Ai Xing came down and told me to go up. My wife told me to call you, and I didn't say anything. I peeked at our girl's face, and it wasn't very good-looking. Although my wife was smiling, my heart was full of joy. Okay, what do you want to do? "The battle between the Zhang family and Qiu Sanniang has reached the point where even a kind person like Bai He is a soldier.
"Let's go, then." Although it was her, Mo Zi had calmed down, "Maybe my wife will reward me for serving the girl well." ”
Bai He glared at her, and was speechless.
