Great Qin's son-in-law

Chapter 41 There are birds in Nanshan, and there are birds in Beishan!
Wei house.

A weaving room.

A few girls are reeling (sao) silk.

Silk reeling is to boil the silkworm cocoons in water, pick up the silk thread floating on the water surface, and combine several threads into a thread, and then lian (lian) thread, that is, soak the thread repeatedly in warm water containing plant ash, The colloid on the top is further peeled off, making the silk white and soft.

The girls are obviously not mulberry pickers.

Because these women, judging from their clothes, must be from wealthy families.

Headed by a few dignified middle-aged women, the rest of the women are only in their teens. They all wear brocade and silk clothes, or wide-sleeved deep clothes, or two-color skirts, with sachets pinned to their waists.

The whole weaving room smelled of vanilla.

Throughout ancient societies, weaving was as important as farming.

The corn harvested from plowing is for food, and the cloth spun is for wearing. That's why there is a saying that 'men plow and women weave'.

There is a saying in "Book of Shang Jun": "Those who work hard at their own business, plowing and weaving to produce a lot of millet and silk will recover their bodies." '

The Qin Dynasty has been encouraging farming and weaving since the beginning of Shang Yang’s reform, stipulating that slave farmers who pay more grain and cloth can restore their freedom, and the government’s taxes also include cloth, and sometimes when there is a shortage of money, cloth is used as an equivalent.

"Book of Rites Yueling": "The empress and concubines are all abstinent, and they want to bow to the mulberry in the east. After the silkworm room is boarded, the cocoons are divided and the silk is used for service in the suburban temple." '

The Book of Rites stipulates that the concubines of the emperor of Zhou must go to the eastern suburbs outside the city to pick mulberries after fasting, and they must weigh and assess the silk one by one to make sacrificial clothes for the emperor.

In the Qin Dynasty.

In this period of extreme life pressure, the heavy pressure of survival forced every Qin people with labor force, regardless of men, women, old or young, to participate in various production activities.

Even the aristocratic and powerful are no exception.

In the last row of the Jamsil, a young girl is working with a lady.

The girl was wearing a red and black dark dress, her neck was slender and fair, her dark hair hung down her shoulders because she hadn't reached the hairpin yet, but the girl was a little absent-minded, but the girl was sitting very far back, so no one noticed it for a while.

Most middle-aged ladies take a formality.

After pouring a few cocoons of bamboo plaques into the water, they greeted each other and left the silkworm room talking and laughing.

The girls are already used to it.

Continue to concentrate on reeling and spinning silk.

After squatting for a while, Bao Shu finally couldn't help it. She glanced around and whispered to the two close friends next to her: "Guan E, Zhao Tan, you will go out later, can you help me?" Do you have a message from the classroom?"

Guan E and Zhao Tan were taken aback.

They looked Baoshu up and down a few times, with a shy smile in their eyes, and asked curiously: "Eh? Our Yushu actually has a crush? Who is the other party, and we can make our Yushu take the initiative."

Seeing the misunderstanding between the two women, Bo Shu blushed and hurriedly explained:
"You misunderstood."

"I've been grounded for a while."

"I want you to help me bring a sentence to Mr. Qin."

Zhao Tan responded immediately, and said with a smile:
"Master Qin?"

"Is this our Yushu's favorite?"

"However, I have to say something first. I don't want to bring some words, like the saying in the Book of Songs, 'There are birds in the southern mountains, and there are Luos in the northern mountains. I want to miss you, but I can't help it'."

"I can't say those embarrassing words."

Guan E also followed suit.

A blush flashed across Bao Shu's face, and then she gave the two of them a blank look, and said angrily, "Stop making fun of me here."

"I'm really in a hurry."

"Otherwise, I won't let you help."

Seeing Bao Shu's seriousness, Zhao Tan and Guan E also calmed down, and they asked curiously, "What do you want us to tell you?"

Bo Shu's face showed embarrassment.

Sighed:
"I actually don't know what to say."

"Didn't I go out of the city some time ago? I happened to meet Mr. Qin. When we left behind, Mr. Qin gave me a piece of calligraphy. For some reason, my wife (mother) found out about it. She asked some questions about it." Question, I was flustered, so I slipped my mouth.”

"I didn't pay much attention to it at first."

"But yesterday, a small official came to inquire about Mr. Qin's situation. I was worried that they would be unfavorable to Mr. Qin. I actually wanted to remind Mr. Qin by myself, but my family grounded me, so I can only ask you to help me. Wake up."

"I"

"I really didn't mean to."

As she spoke, Bao Shu's eyes were red with grievance.

Zhao Tan and Guan E quickly comforted him.

At the same time he said:

"Don't worry, your business is our business, we will definitely help with this matter, but what exactly does Mr. Qin look like?"

Bao Shu sobbed a few times, recalling Qin Luoheng's figure.

She said quietly:

"He is nearly eight feet tall, looks upright, with sharp eyebrows and beautiful eyes. He is open-minded and sincere. He has a sense of freedom and elegance in his gestures and gestures. He likes to read. He often keeps his hands on the book, and he also likes it."

Listening to Bao Shu's description, Zhao Tan and Guan E looked at each other with a smile in their eyes.

On the other side, inside the classroom.

Qin Luoheng naturally didn't know that he had attracted many parties, and his attention was all on class now.

He knows nothing about the outside world.

After nearly four hours of classes, the classroom finally ushered in the end of school.

Lang came over and said, "Brother Qin, I think you should pay attention. This engineer has nowhere to go now. He failed to forcefully buy and sell from you. I feel that he may use it against you." Qiang, how about I go with you today?"

Fen also said: "Brother Qin, it would be great if you lived in the city. Give him ten guts, and he won't dare to make trouble. He is sure that you are not in the city, so he dares to threaten you so blatantly. .”

"Unfortunately, there is no evidence."

"Otherwise, I will accompany Brother Qin to sue the officials."

"His maidservant!"

Qin Luoheng smiled and said:
"Need not."

"Since he is an engineer, he must know about Qin Lu."

"No matter how crazy he is, he doesn't dare to really commit crimes against Qin Lv. What's more, as a Shizi, I can enter the school because I have no reliance."

"If he really dares to do something to me, he will never return!"

"You don't have to worry about me."

Qin Luoheng didn't take him to heart at all.

Lang and Fen nodded.

They can enter the classroom, more or less have a little background.

Like Lang's father, whose title was a doctor, Fen's father was a city official, and other historians were either from official families, or had titles in their families, and they were not really low-level officials.

Qin Luoheng was no exception to be able to enter the classroom.

Think of this.

Lang and Fen also felt relieved.

Lang said:
"Too."

"He's just an engineer, a big-ass official, I'm afraid he will do something."

"When we graduate from school in the future and enter the local government as officials, according to our conditions, within three to five years, we will be able to become Xiezhi, prison history, etc., and check him every now and then to see if we don't torment him to death. "

"Dare to hit us with ideas."

"His maidservant!"

heard.

The three laughed.

Packed up their belongings, and went out of the classroom together.

Before reaching the door, the three of them found that the first ones, Jiang, Ci and others, were still in the classroom, and they were all blocking the door.

Qin Luoheng's eyes sank slightly, and he walked towards the door.

Lang and Fen followed closely.
