Thousands of years

Chapter 18 Spring silkworms work hard to weave silk reeling in March of the Chinese New Year

The long car in front of me has curtains all around and a canopy on top, although it is not more comfortable and luxurious than the sedan chair with flowers arranged by the princess, it can still shelter from the wind and rain after all.

Speaking of which, the 'Long Carriage' is something that has only existed since the imperial capital was moved to Lin'an. For ordinary people who can't afford a carriage, it is indeed a novelty that is convenient for travel...

Whether ordinary people rent by the hour or by the day, although it is more expensive, it will not be a luxury that cannot be afforded.

"Master, hurry up and get in the car..." Mrs. Li stayed up all night, her eyes were half crescent black, and she looked listless. Sister An Liu was really worried about her master's body.

Fortunately, the fifth sister gave the sixth sister the few copper coins she saved in advance, so that the master and the apprentice can have this long car to ride, and they can also take a rest.

Knowing that this long car would cost a lot of money, Mrs. Li felt that it was her fault, and she couldn't bear it: "Sixth sister, there is no need, we just walk, why bother?"

Sister An Liu knew what Master was thinking, so she couldn't help but stuff her into the carriage: "Master, can I ask, did I just rent this long carriage this morning?"

Knowing that she couldn't hold back her apprentice, Mrs. Li smiled helplessly, and closed her eyes with the sixth sister's heart, and closed her eyes to rest her mind.

Slightly squinting eyes vaguely saw Sixth Sister smiling, Mrs. Li also smiled comfortably, maybe she was really tired, and fell asleep after a while.

The breeze brought the fragrance of flowers and plants in the distance through the curtain, and perched on the two people on the long car.Sixth Sister slept soundly last night, and now she is worried that there is no place to release her spirit, so she stretches half of her body out of the curtain, poking her head.

The warm sun is smoky, and there is a mulberry tree not far away. Sister An Liu knew that she had found the first farmer who raised silkworms and reeled silk. This season happens to be when spring silkworms cocoon, and the quality of silk can be seen at a glance. .

After walking forward for a while, a room that seemed to be populated came into view. Sister An Liu hurriedly called the master to get up, and the two got out of the long car together, and went straight to the house.

"Sixth sister, take it easy, she's not so impatient on weekdays, what's going on today?"

Seeing the sericulture family now, Sister An Liu felt as if she saw the savior, she just wanted to rush over and solve the problem that troubled Master and herself earlier. Pull Mrs. Li and walk quickly.

Hearing Master's words, the sixth sister's pace slowed down immediately, with a face of embarrassment: "Master, don't make fun of this disciple, the problem of silk has been solved earlier."

The quality of silk is one thing. Without the help of officials, I have to do homework, wash and cook, and my hands are calloused, and it is much rougher. It has long been different from before.

It can be seen that the apprentice is so happy, Mrs. Li can't say anything to upset people's interest in the end, she just buries her thoughts in her heart and sighs secretly.

The sixth sister is excited now, she couldn't hear Master's sigh like a flying mosquito, she didn't smile until she saw the silkworm cocoon placed in the bamboo dustpan.

This feeling and this scene really correspond to the sentence: If you want to ask the peach blossoms for thousands of miles, the spring breeze and birdsong will intoxicate your heart.Although he is wrapped in tens of thousands of gold and silver, once he breaks out of the cocoon, he can fly away.Silkworms and butterflies will be reborn from their cocoons, and when Sister An Liu sees them, she just feels that the day when Master's Zhiluo shop takes off is just around the corner!

"I don't know that the two ladies are here, but they want to buy this silk?" The two didn't stay for a while, and then a lady in her twenties came out of the room. Seeing the two people dressed, she knew in her heart that the silk business had arrived On the door.

Mrs. Li nodded in agreement, but the quality of the silk depends not only on the quality of the silkworm seeds, but also on the ability of the person who pulls the cocoon...
