Chapter 115: A two-pronged approach
Gong's expression became solemn.
"The new lady sent such a shopkeeper, that is, to destroy the embroidery workshop, and the silver fell into their pockets. The embroidery workshop is the property of Mrs. Xianda, who has only one daughter and married to another province.
"If my aunt and grandmother want to come back to ask for her mother's dowry in the future, the embroidery workshop has already lost money and is gone. Some men are just so ruthless that they forget everything as soon as their wives die. ”
Thinking of the past, Gong couldn't stop feeling sad. As soon as the eldest wife is gone, things are wrong.
Lilacs rejoiced. The port of the Nine Silk Embroidery Workshop has a good reputation, if it can be bought smoothly, those old customers will find it there, just to find her Jiulu Weaving and Embroidery Workshop.
He asked again, "How is Aunt Gong's embroidery?" ”
Gong smiled, "I grew up in Jiangnan, and I learned needlework from my mother since I was a few years old. followed Mrs. Xianda to Linshui County, and has been in charge of her needlework, and only went to the embroidery workshop to be a shopkeeper when she was twenty-two years old......"
Lilac took out several drawings of the buckles she had drawn earlier.
The simplest abacus pimple, that is, a word buckle, and then a pipa buckle, plum blossom buckle, chrysanthemum buckle.
She first talked about the trouble and unsightliness of tying clothes, and then she thought of this kind of knot that could be fastened together. Buckle up, not only fit the clothes but also beautiful and applicable. In order to distinguish the knots, they are called disc buckles, and they are buckled together......
Gong's eyes were wide open, and his mouth was wide open and closed.
She first saw that the little master was smart, but she didn't expect to be so smart.
Where is this buckle, it's obviously a flower.
She took the buckle and looked at it again and again for a long time before she said solemnly, "Sister is smart, this kind of buckle is not only beautiful and beautiful, but also an improvement to the clothes." I haven't done it before, but I've done it......"
The two also discussed what buckles are suitable for what style of clothing and how to match the color.
Lilac likes to deal with smart people. said with a smile, "These things will be handed over to Aunt Gong, what materials and embroidery money do you need to tell my mother, you must use good materials and embroidery thread to do, the best buckle can be added gold thread." ”
With the addition of the Gong family, the cloves of the Weaving and Embroidery Pavilion don't need to worry about everything. She began to wonder how she could suggest to her grandfather and father how to improve the furnace and add dilute clay in proportion after buying the cast iron workshop.
Five days later, Gong invited Zhang and Lilac to go.
She made all four pairs of buckles. Lilac nodded in satisfaction, it was as delicate and beautiful as the buckles she had seen on those cheongsams in her previous life.
Zhang's and Aya'er's eyes were full of amazement.
Gong Shi measured Lilac's clothes again, "I made a spring shirt for my sister, and then sewed the buckles, what I can see more clearly." ”
Imagining that kind of clothes, Gong's eyes lit up.
At twenty-four o'clock, Ding Zhao and Ding Lichun returned, and the Qian family's carriage sent them to the door of their homes.
They rode back and forth in a carriage, fast, and played in Jiaozhou for a few days.
Lilac was looking at them anxiously, and happily ran over and hugged her grandfather's waist.
He gave the coachman water and two silver horns to send the man away.
asked Yang Hu's family to move a basket of seafood into the kitchen, and several people entered the upper room.
Seeing his granddaughter's sparkling eyes, Ding Zhao smiled and took out three silver tickets from his arms and said, "Lord Sun likes that knife very much, and gave me six hundred taels of silver for the handiwork, as well as so many delicious foods and gifts.
"Hehe, I thought it would be nice to have three hundred taels, but I didn't want to give so much. Didn't the granddaughter want to open an embroidery workshop, take it all. ”
Grandpa earned so much money, and Lilac was also happy. I used to want to use this money to rent a good shop, but now with honey butter, I can buy a shop, and I may also be able to buy the best nine silk embroidery workshop at the port.
Ding Lichun smiled again, "Master Sun is a general of the Jiaodong Naval Army, and I can actually get acquainted with such a big official." Lord Sun's sons, Sun and Hao, led me on the warship, which is much bigger than our yard......"
He felt like a dream. I thought that being a general was just a distant dream, but I didn't expect to get acquainted with the general, and get his appreciation and commitment.
He also knew that his master and Lord Sun were friends of life and death, and Lord Sun's uncle was the governor of the navy, the marquis of Zhenhai, who commanded the national navy.
He also saw Lord Lu, the chief soldier of the navy, from a distance......
The navy of the Dali Dynasty was very powerful, and there were more than 200 large and small warships in the Jiaodong navy alone, including six types of hulls such as the No. 1 Daifuku battleship.
There are three types of warships: large, medium, and small. The large ones are the main warships, called "ships" or "building ships", with 2, 3, 4, or even more than 4 decks. Medium-sized are warships used for offensive pursuits, such as "Mengchong", "Xiandeng", etc. The smaller ones are the clippers used for sentinel patrols, such as "yachts", "red horse boats", etc.
The largest giant battleship is more than 30 zhang long, has more than 30 wheel oars, 20 oars, can carry more than 300 soldiers, and is equipped with long-range weapons such as earthen cannons, bowl-mouth guns, and strong crossbows.
The artillery guns are extremely lethal, and the only bad thing is that they are easy to burst......
Seeing that his sister likes to listen to this, Ding Lichun spoke very hard.
Ding Zhuang has heard it many times, and he still likes to listen to it.
Lilac knows that the enemies of the navy of the Dali Dynasty are mainly the pirates on the other side of the ocean, which are extremely similar to the Ming Dynasty in the previous life, but they are more powerful than the navy of the Ming Dynasty.
There are two arms in Jiaodong Province, one army and one navy. The headquarters of the army is in the provincial capital of Jeju, and the headquarters of the navy is in Jiaoju.
Ding Zhuang said again, "Next year, Lichun will be fourteen years old, and I will go to the navy on an errand." ”
Compared with making money, Ding Zhuang is even happier when his grandson has a future and his family has something to rely on.
My granddaughter is so good-looking, sad!
Ding Xiang wondered, "Big brother doesn't want to take the martial arts test?" ”
Ding Zhuang waved his big hand and said, "Lichun is not a material for learning, and you may not be able to be admitted to martial arts." When Sun was young, he was a martial artist, and he was admitted to Lichun. It is said that Lichun Ma is still good at kung fu and strength, but the kung fu and archery and weapons are too weak, and the strategy is average.
"The conditions of the dart game are limited, so it's better to go to the army. First of all, he will be a personal soldier for Lord Sun, and practice and study well. If you can be admitted to the martial arts examination, you will have a better future, if you can't pass the exam, you can be promoted after a few years, and then slowly go up. ”
Lilac also thinks it's better to have a two-pronged approach. There are soldiers who go to participate in the martial arts examination, coupled with the promise of the generals, no matter which way the big brother can become an officer.
It seems that General Sun is too close to the people, and his family is a small common man, a family of craftsmen......
Ding Zhuang saw the confusion in his granddaughter's eyes, and said with a smile, "Lord Sun was so happy with that knife that he was reluctant to use it himself, saying that he would honor his uncle who was the governor." ”
Ding Zhuang took out another box, which contained ten pearls, the size of a soybean grain.
"This is Mrs. Sun's special incense. Hehe, she heard that my granddaughter is beautiful and likable, and asked you to make jewelry. also said that she doesn't have a girl, so she likes white, tender and beautiful female dolls, so you can go to her house to play in the future. ”
