Yang Qicheng slept this time, and he reached the moon with a lamp.

Out of the bedroom, a lamp in the embroidery room was like a bean, making a deliberately suppressed weaving sound.

Gently pushing open the door of the embroidery room, the lady stood in front of the vertical loom, weaving cloth flexibly with her hands.

Seeing Yang Qicheng coming into the house, he twisted his sore neck, pinched his shoulder, and asked softly, "Are you awake?" Dinner is warm in a pot, and I'll serve it for you. ”

Yang Qicheng pulled Yan Fangxiang back, asked her to sit on the couch, and helped her rub her shoulders: "The noodles I ate in the afternoon haven't been eaten yet, so I can't eat them." You've been weaving cloth for a day, you must be tired, right? I'll rub it for you......"

Yan Fangxiang enjoyed Xianggong's massage, and couldn't help spitting: "This vertical loom can only be woven standing, if only it could be woven while sitting; It can only be horizontal and longitudinal, not dense, if it can weave twill; You can only adjust the shaft manually, if you step on the shaft, it would be fine; It can only be woven two feet two wide, if it is three feet two wide...... ”

Yang Qicheng secretly wrote it down and decided to tell Lao Cheng about these shortcomings and let him improve them......

After complaining, Yan Fangxiang was quite excited and said: "Xianggong, I can now weave five feet of cloth a day, which is better and faster than Sister Lan Yi and Zhenniang." ”

Yang Qicheng was helpless, and hugged the lady's thin figure behind him: "Fangxiang, didn't I get back five taels of reward money this time?" You take it easy, don't get tired. ”

Yan Fangxiang patted the back of Yang Qicheng's hand, and was full of glory: "I'm not tired, I'm happy in my heart." Sister Lan Yi said that the silver will not be distributed in the past two months, and when she has almost saved up, she will rent a shop in the county, prepare a few more looms, spinning wheels, embroidery frames, and hire embroidery girls, and all the work in the embroidery workshop can be undertaken. ”

The more Yan Fangxiang spoke, the more excited she became, and suddenly thought of the new hairpin on her head, and took it off beautifully, with a smile on her eyebrows: "Xianggong, you gave it to me?" Expensive, right? ”

Yang Qicheng took the hairpin and pointed to the pink peach blossom on it: "It's not expensive, the jade material is pieced together from the leftovers of jewelry." I took a fancy to its hairpin. ”

Yang Qicheng took the peach blossom as the handle and stabbed in the void: "I give you a dagger, you always fall at home." This hairpin, made of fine iron used to forge weapons, is strong and sharp, and you can use it as a weapon at any time.

Yang Qicheng turned the hairpin head and separated the hairpin body from the hairpin head, revealing a hollow with a pinch of white powder hidden inside: "This is a drug, you can sprinkle it or put it in the water." ”

Yan Fangxiang was dumbfounded when she heard this, Xianggong, is this a persecution paranoia? Why are you always afraid that you will be killed?

Yan Fangxiang put the hairpin back on her bun.

Finding that there was some medicinal powder left on Xianggong's fingers, Yan Fangxiang instinctively reached out to rub it, rubbing and rubbing, and suddenly drew a circle on the back of Yang Qicheng's hand with the tip of his index finger, and asked a little humbly: "Xianggong, my hands, calluses and cracks are too rough, do you feel panicked when you touch your hands?" ”

Yang Qicheng didn't know why, I don't know why the lady suddenly asked such a question.

The only thing I know is that such a lady is really sultry and doesn't know it.

Yan Fangxiang sighed faintly: "Sister Lan Yi is teaching me embroidery skills, and she has high hopes for me, and said that my hands are a pity, if only they were more delicate......"

Yang Qicheng suddenly realized, no wonder he came back this time, the yard was a lot cleaner, and there were no things such as wicker, cattail, bamboo strips, etc.

He didn't dissuade Yan Fangxiang bitterly, and Helanyi completely solved it in one sentence, and Yang Qicheng was quite grateful to Helanyi.

Yang Qicheng held the lady's hand tightly and comforted: "Aroma, the cocoons and cracks on your hands are mostly caused by the basket weaving a few days ago, just raise it." ”

took the lady's hand and went back to the room to sleep, and found two packs of pastries on the table, the cloud cake only moved a few small pieces, and the pea yellow ate most of the pack.

Yang Qicheng picked up a piece and handed it to the lady's mouth, and said with a smile: "The lady likes to eat pea yellow? ”

Yan Fangxiang smiled and nodded, then shook her head like a rattle: "Xianggong, I don't like to eat, I don't like to eat." Don't be tired of traveling in a hurry to bring it to me. ”

It seems that it is false that he doesn't like to eat, and it is true that he doesn't want to be tired.

Yang Qicheng agreed, secretly remembering it in his heart.

The husband and wife returned to the bedroom, and Yang Qicheng gently hugged the lady and said, "Lady, on August 15, I will take you to the county seat to watch the lanterns and release the river lanterns, right?" ”

Yan Fangxiang was a little hesitant, secretly thinking in her heart, on the reunion festival on August 15, you have to take the second and third women, go on the same day, and return the next day, one day and one night, people eat donkeys and chew, they have to spend a lot of money......

Yang Qicheng said pitifully: "Lady, after August 15, I and the second son have to go far away, and I will go for half a month, I want to have a good reunion with you......"

Yan Fangxiang's heart softened: "Okay, go, can't I go with you?" It's just that the family has to entrust someone to watch ......."

Yang Qicheng waved his unsympathetic hand: "Don't entrust others, the second son stays to look after the house, he has visited the Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival in the capital, and he should not look down on the Lantern Festival in the county......"

Whether to look down on it, or not to let it be seen, only Yang Qicheng himself knows it.

.

Early in the morning of August 15, Yang Qicheng urged Yan Fangxiang to set off.

Yan Fangxiang prepared enough food for the second son and the chickens, ducks and cats at home, and then went to the county seat.

Find an inn to stay at first, and then start shopping to replenish what you need at home.

I went back to the inn for dinner, prepared to visit the lantern festival after dark, and was eating, when I found that a familiar figure appeared in the silver cabinet of the inn---- Helanyi.

Yan Fangxiang greeted her happily: "Sister Lan Yi, why did you come to the inn?" Did you know that we were coming to the county seat? ”

Helan Yi's face was a little embarrassed, and he said honestly: "Fang, Fangxiang, I, I didn't know that you came to the county seat, it was Engong who lived in this inn, he was from the capital, and I made some dumplings to come over to relieve his homesickness." So, you, one pack for each of you. ”

Helan Yi was embarrassed and wanted to disassemble the two packets of dumplings tied together, one for each person.

Yan Fangxiang hurriedly stopped Helan Yi: "Sister Lan Yi, what are you polite to me, give the dumplings to Engong." ”

Just as he was in the cold, Lu Fang walked down from the second floor and saw Yang Qicheng and Yan Fangxiang, his face was pale.

Yang Qicheng took the initiative to show goodwill: "Last time, Prison Guard Liu came to provoke, thanks to Engong's rescue, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, let's have dinner together." ”

Lu Fangne didn't know how to answer, Yan Fangxiang had already pulled Helan Yi back to the dining table, and asked the shopkeeper to open another table in the adjacent seat and sit separately.

Helan Yi said in a low voice: "Aroma, when you go to the lantern festival for a while, go in the direction of Shilixiang, Shilixiang will win the championship today, and your big red peony will be worn on the head of the Oiran." ”

Yan Fangxiang peeked in the direction of Yang Qicheng: "Shilixiang, what do you think of me when you go to the Xiang Guild?" Don't go. ”

Shilixiang, after all, is not a serious place, Yan Fangxiang is worried about Xianggong, it is normal.

The two of them chatted, glancing at their neighbors from time to time.

The atmosphere in the neighbor's seat was very weird, Yang Qicheng poured a glass, Lu Fang didn't say a word and drank a drink, and after a while, his eyes were drunk and hazy.

Yang Qicheng shook his head and sighed, he really wanted to thank Lu Fang, but Lu Fang thought too much, he always thought it was a punishment, and he couldn't help it.

At the beginning of the lanterns, you can go shopping, Yang Qicheng stood up and said to Lu Fang: "Engong, I'm going to go to the Lantern Festival, you and He Niangzi, are you going?" ”

"Yes! Eun Gong, I'll go! Command! Lu Fang stood up suddenly, clasped his fists and saluted, his body swaying.

Helan Yi also stood up and explained to Yang Qicheng embarrassedly: "Yang Langjun, Engong, he is drunk, he is incoherent, and he can't tell who is Engong, don't blame him......"

Yang Qicheng smiled indifferently: "How can I blame him?" He saved you and my wife that day, and it's too late to be grateful. When he wakes up tomorrow, ask He Niangzi to tell him, I really don't blame him, let him not worry about it. ”

What can be saved or not, is it strange or not, Helan Yi was confused when he heard it, and asked the little second brother to help Lu Fang go back to the room to rest, and said goodbye first.
