Chapter 242: The Young Lady is really mighty and domineering!
"I still think that we should dig the pond first and soak the bamboo, or we will do this when the yard is built, when will it be?"
Xie Zi'an said, "Didn't Madame say that it is better to use new bamboo with branches and leaves before and after the mango planting to make paper?"
"You haven't even learned to walk, and you want to run?" Qi Lele said bitterly, "Hurry up and make this bamboo paper first! Let's think about whether it will be good or not, will it succeed?"
"Done!" Xie Zi'an nodded: "Madam opened her mouth, if you don't succeed, you have to do it!"
Qi Lele: "......"
"Let's go, find a place to dig a pond!"
Xie Zi'an smiled and followed her figure.
Walking on the road, Qi Lele said: "It is recorded in the book that the reason why the new bamboo with branches and leaves before and after the mango seed is chosen is because if the bamboo is too old, it will be too porcelain, and it will be difficult to make paper. If it's too tender, the inner fibers haven't grown yet, and the paper may be too loose."
"But this does not mean that you can only choose the new bamboo before and after the planting of mango to make paper, after all, paper is not only used for writing, but also for life. As long as you can successfully make paper, whether it is good or bad, there will always be a time when it will be useful!"
"What Madame said is very true, you have to try it to know the depths."
"That's it!" Qi Lele shook his head slightly: "You need to know, you have to know that you will be shallow on paper, and you must do it if you know this."
Xie Zi'an tasted this poem and said, "Madame is so talented."
Qi Lele waved his hand repeatedly: "I didn't write it! I also read it from the book."
Xie Zi'an smiled lightly, and added a little curiosity to the world she had been to.
If it weren't for what Qi Lele said, he would never have imagined that he would be as tough and upright as a bamboo, and he could actually make paper.
The two wandered around for most of the day, and finally decided to choose a location at the foot of the mountain.
The place here is remote, few people come to the village, and there is a small mountain spring nearby, which is also very convenient for paper making in the future.
Moreover, this mountain spring does not pass through Shangxi Village, so there is no need to worry about affecting the villagers.
It's not far from the livestock shacks, so if there's anything going on, it's good to take care of each other.
"If we choose this place, do we want to buy this land from the village?"
Xie Zi'an smiled, "No need. When I bought the land before, Li Zheng rowed this piece along the way."
"Then there it is!"
Qi Lele said, and couldn't help but look in the direction of the mountain again: "That is, this place is at the foot of the mountain, in case a wild boar or something suddenly runs down, wouldn't it be dangerous?"
"Madame, don't worry, there is a way to do this."
Xie Zi'an said so, and Qi Lele was relieved.
Before I went to Granny Du's house, the small courtyard seemed to be built at the foot of the mountain, maybe there was some way to expel the beasts, right?
Song Mingshan quickly found someone to come over, and after circling the place, everyone threw off their arms and began to pull weeds.
The continuous rain has allowed the soil to absorb enough water, and it is much easier to pull it out at this time.
It's just that every time I go down, I tear out a big ball of mud and water, and I have to throw it on my body, and it has only been a long time, and one by one I have become half a clay man, and I look really embarrassed.
"Young lady don't worry, when we go back later, we'll use that shower to flush and refresh!"
Hearing this, Qi Lele laughed, "Is the shower still good?"
Everyone nodded one after another: "It's so useful!"
"Just fill a bucket with water, enough for several of us to wash!"
"Apply a layer of soap, use the shower to flush, and it will be clean in an instant, saving time and effort!"
"Yes, yes, and that soap, it's also very useful!"
"The eldest prince and the young lady are really whimsical!"
Qi Lele smiled and said, "That shower was figured out by your eldest son!" I can't ask for credit."
Xie Zi'an looked at her.
Qi Lele winked at him playfully, and Xie Zi'an shook his head and chuckled.
The people who came to work today were all with Song before
The young man who came with Naruyama had a little bit of kung fu on his body, and he cleared a large open space in a short time.
Knowing that Xie Zi'an and Qi Lele wanted to build a simple courtyard, they all had the courage to recommend themselves: "This job is not difficult, let's just come, so we don't need to invite those craftsmen!"
Qi Lele looked at Xie Zi'an with a smile.
Xie Zi'an bowed: "Then when the materials arrive, it's up to you."
Everyone responded in unison, with a little smile on their faces.
"Before that, dig a few ponds out."
"Okay!"
Qi Lele watched them work in full swing, and couldn't help but sigh: "At this speed, we will be able to go up the mountain to cut bamboo tomorrow."
Xie Zi'an said: "It's okay, this rain will stop tomorrow, just go up the mountain to cut bamboo."
"How do you know?"
"Guess."
Qi Lele was speechless: "Your tone is so sure, I still think you can see it by observing the sky at night!"
"Madame did take a look at it last night."
"Just blow it!"
Crowd: "......"
Worthy of a young lady! How dare you question the eldest prince like this! It's really powerful and domineering!
The crowd was so busy that they didn't finish their work until the evening.
When she got home, Qi Lele's shoes were already soaked, even the skirt was wet, she hurriedly scrubbed her lower body, changed her clothes and shoes, and couldn't help muttering to Xie Zi'an: "I haven't used the shower yet!"
Xie Zi'an smiled, "Tomorrow I will go and talk to the craftsmen."
Qi Lele leaned over and kissed him on the chin, and said, "Xianggong is the best! I'll make you something to eat!"
It's just that before the person could take two steps, he was pulled back by a pair of hands.
Xie Zi'an pressed the person against the wall: "It's not enough to kiss him."
Qi Lele knew what he was referring to, but he raised his head and pecked him twice on the chin: "That's enough!"
Xie Zi'an chuckled lowly, laughing so much that Qi Le's heart was crisp, and then he bowed his head and kissed it.
After such a toss, by the time dinner was served, it was already after dark.
"My mother is looking for a matchmaker to propose?"
"Yes, the matchmaker came to the door today."
"How's the talk? Does my aunt agree?"
Song Mingshan shook his head: "It is said that the conditions proposed by Mrs. Du are very harsh, and she broke up with the matchmaker."
Qi Lele listened to it, but she was not surprised, she had seen You Qingyun's attitude with her own eyes that day, and she could see that she did not miss Qi Xiaojin's heart for Du Lanqiu.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Xie Zi'an glanced at Song Mingshan.
Song Mingshan said again: "Third Mrs. Du said that if Brother Qi wants to marry Miss Du, he must either join the family or split up first."
Qi Lele: "......"
You Qingyun's words clearly don't want to marry this family!
Not only does she not want to marry the Qi family, she doesn't even want Du Lanqiu to marry, right?
This is antiquity! Filial piety in ancient times!
How can a girl have to split up before she enters the door? This is out, does Du Lanqiu still have a reputation? Who dares to ask such an unfilial daughter-in-law to enter the door?
