The son crosses every night

Tanghua didn't see anyone around him wearing sweaters, so he thought that no one here knew how to weave wool, but he didn't know that there were related methods.

For a moment, great disappointment filled his heart, his brows drooped directly, and his long and slightly curly eyelashes covered those black and white eyes.

Gu Tangyu saw that if he had two long ears, they would probably have drooped at this moment, and there was a little smile in his eyes, "So uncomfortable?"

Tang Hua whispered: "I called them to collect wool at the beginning of spring, and I don't know how many thousand catties have been harvested at this time."

Sheep are valuable, but wool is useless. Many mutton restaurants shave sheep and discard the wool in the waste pile.

Jiang Pingyuan wrote in a letter before that they had a very smooth harvest of wool, three copper coins for a lamb's wool, and five copper coins for a big sheep's wool.

They dried the wool, rolled it into balls and piled them in the warehouse, and rinsed them uniformly if there were too many.

When Tanghua thought of the piles of wool, his heart ached.

Seeing him frustrated, Gu Tangyu said, "Even if you don't make sweaters, you can still make felts and blankets. If you finish it, you won't lose money."

Tang Hua had already thought about this road, he said: "Success is success, that is, there are not many people in the imperial capital who can buy felt blankets, and it is too expensive to transport them to the frontier. This idea of ​​felt blankets may not be as good as going on the road. fee."

Frustrated for a while, Tang Hua let out a long breath, "It's okay, the left and right wools are cleaned and finished, and it will be fine to keep it for three to five years. I'll think about it then."

Gu Tangyu smiled again, "Brother, I will help you think of a way."

At night, after confirming that the door was locked, Tang Hua sneaked through the wall with a roll of cloth in his arms and came to Ruan Shijie's study.

Today is not one-three-five, Chen Sui and He Xiling are away, he is the only one in the study.

Seeing Tanghua approaching with the cloth in his arms, Ruan Shijie looked up from behind the book and asked, "Has your cloth been dyed?"

Tang Hua shook his head quickly, put the cloth on Ruan Shijie's table, and said in a low voice, "Sir, you'll know when you look at it."

Ruan Shi unrolled the roll of cloth and saw that it was mottled and dirtier than a rag, and he was a little surprised, "Why is it dyed like this?"

Tang Hua was going back to the side to change his shoes, when he heard this, he said, "I don't know too well, I'm planning to visit Jinkou Mansion in two days. Sir, do you think there is something wrong with the river mud?"

Tanghua read the paper before, and it said that the river mud must be high-quality river mud rich in iron ions. Tang Hua was afraid that the river mud they were looking for was not right.

Ruan Shijie touched the cloth, and said, "It's not too bad if I go through the butternut squash first, otherwise it won't be dyed with such a mottled color."

Tang Hua took a deep breath, "Then I'll go over and see what's going on."

Ruan Shijie looked at him, "Don't worry too much, you already have dyeing recipes, you just lack experience, you should be able to get it out after a few more attempts."

"Yeah." Tang Hua nodded, changed his shoes and walked over, half-squatting across the desk and looking up at Ruan Shijie, "Sir, can you help me send this cloth for testing, can you see what's going on? The testing fee I'll pay, and I'll give it to you when I get the money out."

"Huh? When did you get rich?"

Tanghua coughed lightly, and said in a low voice: "Brother Chen asked me to write a paper, which has been submitted and submitted. After the manuscript is published, give me 2000 yuan for the manuscript."

Tang Hua originally planned to use the money to treat them to supper, so he kept it a secret, but now something went wrong, and the money would be used for other purposes.

He was very embarrassed and lowered his head, "I didn't deliberately hide it from you. I wanted to surprise you earlier. I, I will try my best to write another article to see if I can earn some more money."

Ruan Shijie rubbed his head, and said in a gentle voice, "I'm very surprised right now."

Tang Hua raised her bright eyes and looked at him, "Don't worry, sir, I can earn more in the future, and I will spend all the money on you!"

Ruan Shijie smiled, "Leave the cloth first, and I'll send it to a laboratory for you. There should be results in two days."

Tang Hua nodded, "Sir, if there is a result, I will arrive at Jinkou Mansion in a few days, can I also send the river mud for testing?"

Ruan Shijie: "You can bring it when the time comes."

The two changed to the sofa and sat down. Tang Hua picked up a book, thought about it and put it down again. He asked Ruan Shijie for help, "Sir, there is one more thing."

"Ok?"

"Didn't I let them collect a lot of wool before? My elder brother said that someone made woolen clothes earlier, but many people thought it was rough and smelly, it was not easy to wear, and they were not willing to wear woolen clothes." Tang Hua gestured After a while, he said in frustration: "I'm afraid I won't be able to sell so much wool."

That little money is not such a big deal, it's just that so much wool is collected and piled up there, it won't be useful at that time, it's quite a waste.

Tanghua has been thinking about whether to use the wool as cotton wool, and make it into a quilt when the time comes, and wrap it in more layers, so that he will not be afraid of roughness and fishy smell.

Ruan Shijie was a little surprised, "The technology on your side has already developed to this point, and sweaters appeared very late in our side's history."

Tang Hua shook his head, "I've never seen a sweater, so I don't know what kind of sweater we have, but since my elder brother said there are, there must be."

Ruan Shijie pondered: "I'm afraid the sweater your brother mentioned is not the same thing as the sweater you imagined. You should first ask someone to look for your sweater and see how it looks before you consider making your own sweater. You are different from ordinary sweaters. Compared with cloth merchants, the technology is much more advanced, so it should not be uncompetitive.”

Tang Hua cheered up a bit: "I'll look for it when I get back."

Ruan Shijie said: "You wash the wool first and spin it into thread. There will definitely be a market for this kind of warm-keeping thing in winter. The only difference is that you earn more and you earn less."

The Chihua chicken pecked at the rice, "Let them start cleaning the textiles when I go over."

"Wool thread is not a high-tech item. If you can't afford it, you can outsource it to others."

Tang Hua responded, "Thank you sir!"

After the matter was resolved, Tang Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

Ruan Shijie asked him, "What happened to you recently?"

"As for that, I have met Your Majesty several times. The princess seldom troubles me now. Brother Han is in the mansion. One of us lives in the east and the other lives in the west. We don't usually meet each other, but we live in peace."

After Tanghua finished speaking, he felt that many things had happened recently, and he had changed far and wide from the past.

"Speaking of which, the day before yesterday my brother took me to the wedding banquet of Mr. Hou of the Qi family. I have met a lot of people and established a lot of connections. It will be easier to do business in the future."

Tang Hua has followed Ruan Shijie for so long, and he has already understood the importance of connections.

Seeing that he was so happy that his eyes were bent, Ruan Shijie smiled, "So happy?"

Tang Hua chuckled a few times, rubbed his head and said embarrassedly: "I didn't have any friends before. I have been acquainted with those classmates in Hanhaifang since I was a child. Except for Qian Qu, there is only one who returned home with my grandfather. He Yixian, it’s good to be able to make friends.”

After Tang Hua solved the fabric problem, he happily returned to him.

On the afternoon of the second day, he met You Qianqu. As soon as they met, You Qianqu sat down with a big horse, reached out to grab the wine bottle and was about to pour wine, "I missed the appointment last night, and punished myself three times for my brother."

Tang Hua hastily held him down, "It's urgent, don't drink, you will get a headache if you drink too much."

You Qianqu smiled at him, showing a mouthful of white teeth, and put down the wine bottle, "It's because you feel sorry for me, going out with other boys, and being fooled by them every time."

Tanghua has studied biology, and there are many cases of alcoholic liver disease. Hearing this, he immediately became worried, "You drink a lot, and drinking alcohol is not good for your health. Drinking can easily cloud your eyes and damage your liver and lungs."

You Qianqu's heart warmed up, he smiled at him and said, "I don't drink much, I occasionally go out to socialize, don't worry, I know it well, I won't mess around."

Tang Hua let out a sigh of relief, "Then Cheng, you are still young, you have to take good care of your body."

You Qianqu grinned, "Don't talk about me, how about you? You have met with your elder brother a lot recently, and you probably already rank high in the eyes of the Holy Spirit. How is the future? Where do you want to be on duty, and the Holy Spirit agrees? "

Tang Hua shook his head, and said in a low voice: "The Holy One thought that my eldest brother brought me into the palace to help me seek an official, and asked me to work at the clan mansion, but I refused."

You Qianqu was dumbfounded, "Why? What a great job in the clan mansion, full of money and leisure!"

Tang Hua: "I still want to apply for an official position. No matter where I am sent, at least I can do something practical for the people."

They were in the private room, and You Qianqu listened with pricked ears. After making sure that there was no one around, he couldn't help but lower his voice, "Are you stupid?! The students who pass the Entrance Examination are far less promising than those who pass the Science Examination. How many people do it?" He was still a Zhima official for five or ten years, but he couldn't stand it anymore and had to hang up and leave?!"

Tang Hua said softly: "I know it all, but I still want to do something practical. People like me don't need money, and don't have to worry about the future. The sesame official is the sesame official, and it doesn't matter whether you are left or right."

You Qianqu wished to knock his head open and help him smooth his mind, "You are the son of Prince Gu, in the entire imperial capital, except for the prince and daughter, how many clan identities can match you, if you go to the clan mansion, In five or ten years, it's no problem to climb to a high place, and at the end of the day, you may even become the steward of the clan mansion. Although the steward of the clan mansion doesn't have much power, he is a member of the royal family, and he operates well, no worse than a third-rank official."

"I know, but I'm so young, I can't spend my whole life on those trivial matters of my clan."

"Then is it worth it for you to spend your energy on those ordinary people?"

Tang Hua nodded seriously when he heard the words, "It's worth it. This is what I want."
