Chapter 371: The West Corridor of the Moon
Mu Xun shook his head and refused: "No! I am a dignified manly husband, and what I say is the water that is spilled, how can I break my tongue, I will work hard to learn!"
Mrs. Xun smiled again, and suddenly whispered, "If you really encounter difficulties, you can let Xiaoyun come to me." ”
Mu Xun grinned and said, "It's better to be grandma!"
Mrs. Xun hurriedly pointed to her lips and said, "Be quiet, don't let them listen." ”
Mu Xun also glanced around vigilantly, and saw that at this time, except for Xiao Yunhou at the door of the dining room, there was no one around, so he said, "Grandma, don't worry, no one knows our secret." ”
Mrs. Xun said: "Okay, you go back and pack up first, and rest early tonight, and Xiaoyun will accompany you to the workshop early tomorrow morning." ”
Mu Xun responded happily and ran away, and when he passed by Xiaoyun, he didn't forget to make a face at her. Seeing this, Xiaoyun also stuck out his tongue at him.
There was no word all night, and the next day it was dawn.
Mu Xun was too excited last night and couldn't fall asleep, and finally fell asleep, and before he knew it, it was already dawn, so that he was still in a state of confusion after being woken up by Xiaoyun into the room, and finally dressed neatly, and was dragged all the way by Xiaoyun to the "Jiugao Garden".
When I entered the dining room, I saw that Song Chenglian was already eating breakfast, and Mrs. Xun was drinking tea on the side, but Xun Yue was nowhere to be seen.
Seeing that Mu Xun was still in a sleepy state, Mrs. Xun took another cup, poured a cup of tea from her own pot, handed it to Mu Xun, and said, "Little monkey, let you not rest early! ”
Mu Xun raised his hand and drank it all, and his spirit was immediately lifted, and the whole person came to his senses, and said with a smile: "Grandma is wrong to blame me, I thought about it for most of the night last night, and I wondered how I could live up to your second elder's expectations." ”
Mrs. Xun chirped: "Flim tongue, it's getting more and more unpresentable." After a pause, he said, "Eat quickly, and you will go to the workshop in a moment." ”
Mu Xun glanced around and asked, "Where is Grandpa?"
Mrs. Xun said: "Your grandfather won't come to see you off, saying that he will come to greet you on the day you successfully return." ”
Mu Xun raised his hand and scratched his head, and said with a smile: "Then ask grandma to tell grandpa, I will work hard!"
After hastily filling his stomach, Mu Xun took Xiaoyun out of Xunfu, and then got into the carriage arranged by Mrs. Xun and began to march towards the workshop.
The Xun family's silk and satin workshop is located in a remote corner in the south of the city, but it covers a vast area, there are dozens of factories alone, and if you add the warehouse, it is enough to have a hundred and ten rooms. So when Mu Xun stood at the door of the workshop, his mouth was wide enough to stuff an egg.
Seeing this, Xiao Yun on the side quipped: "Little master, how is it?
Mu Xunmu sighed "um", and thought: "Obediently, compared with my grandfather's silk business, my family's tea business is like a cloud and mud away!"
Seeing that he was still stunned, Xiao Yun walked forward briskly with his hands behind his back, and said, "Don't stand still, I'll take you in and around." ”
Mu Xunqi said: "You take me around? Are you familiar with it?"
Xiaoyun turned around and said, "I'm familiar with it, otherwise why would Madam only let me accompany you!"
Mu Xun suddenly felt in his heart and said with a smile: "I see." I thought you were just doing this job!"
Xiao Yun hurriedly said: "What a mistake! I know a lot of things!"
Mu Xun said: "I can't wait to see what you said, let's go in quickly." ”
Xiaoyun snorted proudly, and led Mu Xun into the workshop.
After stepping into the first courtyard, Xiaoyun turned around and introduced to Mu Xun: "This is the initial workshop, as the name suggests, that is, the place where the raw materials are formed. ”
Mu Xun looked around, but saw that dozens of pools of various sizes had been built in this courtyard, but there were gaps between them, just like rice fields in the field. Mu Xun went to a pool and looked inside, only to see that the pool was soaked in hot water with countless white cocoons.
Xiaoyun explained: "These cocoons have to be soaked in hot water before they can be drawn into threads. ”
Mu Xun saw this kind of scene for the first time in his life, and he was curious at the moment, and asked, "You said that this little cocoon has been pulled out, how long does it have to be?"
Xiaoyun said: "Listening to the master, the longest can be as long as three miles, and the short one can be two miles. ”
Mu Xun sighed: "Wow! It's such a small ball, I didn't expect it to be so long!"
Xiaoyun smiled: "How about it, I've seen it for a long time!"
Mu Xun also smiled and said: "Yes, yes, the disciple has been taught." ”
While the two were talking, they saw an old man rushing over from a distance, and when he got closer, he grinned at Xiaoyun and said, "Miss Xiaoyun, why are you here? Yo, this is the little master, right?
Xiaoyun hurriedly introduced Mu Xun: "This is Uncle Yu, who specializes in silk dipping, and the answer just now is what he told me." After speaking, he immediately introduced Mu Xun to Uncle Yu.
Mu Xun hugged his fists and said: "Uncle Yu, I followed Xiaoyun to see for a long time today." ”
Uncle Yu laughed and said: "Okay, but this soaked silkworm cocoon is nothing to look at, those big wooden lumps in the courtyards inside are good-looking!"
Mu Xunqi said: "What is a big wooden lump?"
Xiao Yun glared at Uncle Yu and explained: "Uncle Yu just likes to mess with flower names, where are there any big wooden bumps, those are all treasures, and they are all kinds of instruments used in textile fabrics!"
Uncle Yu waved his hand and said, "Hey, where is the name of the flower that I messed up, isn't that what the master calls it..."
Xiaoyun glared at him again and said, "Okay, okay, it's all your reason, I won't tell you, I'll take the little young master in to see it myself." ”
Uncle Yu said: "Don't you need me to help you explain and introduce?"
Xiaoyun shook his head again and again and said, "No, you can soak your silkworm cocoons well." ”
After crossing a pool, the two of them entered the second courtyard, which was much more lively than the previous one. Before the person stepped into the courtyard, he heard the sound of the machine spinning and the crisp and sweet singing.
"Why are there still people singing here?" Mu Xun was surprised and asked, "Could it be that someone is lazy?"
Xiaoyun smiled: "What are you thinking, this is the Textile Institute, and the people who do the work are all sisters, they are working and singing at the same time, so that no one is lazy!"
Mu Xunqi said: "But isn't it important to concentrate on work, how can you still devote your mind to singing?"
Xiao Yun pursed his lips and pulled Mu Xun through the corridor into the courtyard, and then said, "I'll take you around first, and you'll know when the time comes." ”
