Wang Hongmei looked at the dye in the jar and said, "Well, it's indeed brighter than the color I tuned." ”

Meow Meow smiled, "What's the matter, it's all according to what Aunt Mei said, it's just that you're in a good mood now, so everything looks good!" ”

Wang Hongmei left the village since she beat and left, and later helped the Miao family spin yarn, the mood is indeed much better than the original, watching her daughter follow Meow Meow, but also cheerful day by day, she thinks, the original days are really not called days!

"Did you add anything else?" Wang Hongmei sniffed it carefully and asked.

Meow Meow gave a thumbs up, "Aunt Mei is really amazing!" I added Baiqi to it, it is said in the book, silk is not easy to color, and adding Baiqi has a color-fixing effect. ”

Wang Hongmei nodded, she knew that Meow Meow always ran to the Jokhang Temple, and it was said that she had read a lot of books at a young age.

Wang Hongmei thought for a while and said, "I heard that raw silk is not easy to color, and cooked silk is more suitable for embroidery after coloring." ”

Meow Meow looked at her with a look of adoration and said, "Aunt Mei, you are so powerful!" I also listened to Master Hongzhi! ”

Wang Hongmei knew that the little girl had already counted it in her heart, but it was just to save face, and she could guess her plan by looking at the newly bought silk reeling machine.

So, everyone tried to boil silkworms, degummed, and finally, the cooked silk was finally successfully peeled, and the next step was to study dyeing.

Silk dyeing is no better than ordinary coarse cloth, which requires precise control of temperature and dye, and Wang Hongmei has no experience.

In the beginning, some silk was wasted.

Meow Meow is not discouraged, and she runs more diligently to the Jokhang Temple every day, but it is not easy for Hongzhi to see her.

Because, every time Meow Meow came, after hurriedly saying hello, he rushed into the library pavilion.

Relying on her amazing memory, she has read almost all the books about textile silk in the library.

These days, Qi Jingchen will come to Miao's house every time he goes up the mountain to practice.

Meow Meow used the trouble as an exchange condition, and begged him to take her to see a few relatively large dye houses. When he came back, he concentrated on the problem of dye formulation.

It's just a pity that it's noisy, and every time it's given as a gift for a few days, and gradually, it's used to it.

Once at night, he sneaked out of the Jin Palace's mansion and returned to the village by himself.

also scared Mrs. Miao, who got up in the middle of the night to go to Gong's room, and lay in bed for half a month without getting up.

The Miao family was quiet for half a month, but Li Cuihua was a little hard, but with Miao Dahai's protection, it was not a grievance.

On this day, Meow Meow tried to mix a new dye again.

Wang Hongmei looked at the dye vat, and said that the bamboo strip in her hand didn't dare to put it down anymore.

Meow Meow encouraged on the side, "Aunt Mei, don't be afraid, if you fail, let's do it again!" ”

Wang Hongmei looked at the little girl, took a deep breath, put the bamboo strips hanging with silk into the jar, and shook them back and forth evenly and gently.......

"It's not bad! Mother, the silk is not broken! Guo Qiaoer couldn't help but shout loudly.

Li Cuihua also looked at it with good eyes, and said in surprise, "The color is not flowered!" It worked! ”

"It worked!" Guo Qiaoer repeated.

Meow Meow and Wang Hongmei looked at each other and smiled: Silk dyeing is a preliminary success!

In the autumn of this year, the silkworm babies of the Miao family more than doubled, and the originally very spacious yard, coupled with the silk reeling and dyeing, looked a little cramped.

Meow Meow calculated in her heart, counting the money from selling silk and silk thread this year, there should be about three hundred taels of silver at home.

So, Meow Meow discussed with her father, "Dad, let's move back to the old house, right?" ”

"Why?" Don't say that Miao Dahai doesn't understand, the whole family doesn't understand.

Li Cuihua picked up her daughter and asked, "But your grandmother is arguing with you at night?" ”

Meow Meow lives next to Mrs. Miao's east room, and every night Mrs. Miao can't greet Li Cuihua, so she tosses this little girl, pours water for her for a while, and rubs her shoulders for a while.

Meow Meow shook her head and said busily, "Mother, no." I just see that there are more and more silkworms in our family, and the place between you and Aunt Mei is getting smaller and smaller, and besides, our family may need to hire someone to dye the thread next year, and there will be no place by then. ”

Miao Dahai also nodded, "I still want to buy more than a dozen acres of mountainous land next to it, and now we have enough money in our hands, so it can be more spacious." ”

"Dad, mother! I agree with my sister! Miao Qiang pondered for a while and said,

"Dad, should you buy or buy that piece of land, you will always need it in the future, over there in the old house, let's build a bigger house, the backyard will be changed to a dyeing workshop, and we will live in the front yard, and we will specialize in raising silkworms here!"

"Well, I think the same thing as my second brother." Meow meow.

"I also agree with the second brother." Miao Fu Road.

Miao Kang and Miao Le haven't gotten out of school yet.

Li Cuihua and Miao Dahai glanced at each other, and so decided.

Before the winter came, Miao Dahai was planning to build the foundation first.

When Mrs. Miao heard that her eldest son's family was going to build a new house in just one year, she couldn't help but feel sour water in her heart.

It's not that they sneered at Sang and scolded Huai, saying that they only care about themselves and don't care about their younger brother, or they cry and wipe their tears, and feel sorry for how difficult their youngest son's life is.

Miao Sanhe also came to the door a few times, but unfortunately, there were always two times when he met Qi Jingchen to come and see the trouble.

Every time he saw Qi Jingchen, Miao Sanhe's whole body hurt uncomfortably, and even Mrs. Miao, who had always liked to cling to the powerful, hid in the house and didn't dare to come out.

Although Mrs. Miao didn't like Qi Jingchen, she liked Gu Xiuyuan very much, who came twice occasionally.

That child is much more sensible than his four grandsons.

Once, Mrs. Miao took advantage of the busyness of the eldest family, secretly wrapped a large piece of pork and sent it to her younger son, pointing at Wu Suying's stomach and complaining, "You said you, you know that you gave birth to those Tao boys, if you give birth to a good granddaughter for me, then can such a good grandson-in-law of Young Master Gu still be able to run away?" ”

Wu Suying pursed her lips and sneered, "Don't you have a good granddaughter to serve you!" ”

Mrs. Miao spat at the foam, "Just that dead girl?" The heart and eyes have made her grow, and no one can cheapen her to go! ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

After Mrs. Miao left, the more Wu Suying thought about it, the more she felt that her mother-in-law's words made sense.

Miao Dahai's family's life is now second to none in the village, if he lets his little girl climb up to that Young Master Gu again, won't all the good things be theirs?

After thinking about it, Wu Suying found that she didn't have a daughter, didn't her sister-in-law's family have a daughter? Spring Peach is two years older than Meow Meow, is it just right to think about it this way?

So, Wu Suying packed up and went to the neighboring village, Miao Xiancao was still very unkind to see this third sister-in-law, but after hearing her intentions, her heart was also a little lively, although her daughter is only six years old this year, isn't it just the right time to cultivate feelings when she is young?
