The ancient life of a master craftsman

Maybe he has taught people more recently, Yunli is not as dazed as he was at the beginning, and it is no longer difficult to make decisions according to his own ideas like today, he is more and more confident.

Seeing Yunli like this, Li Enbai felt even happier in his heart. The husband and wife must communicate more and understand more about what the other is doing and thinking.He doesn't want to be assimilated by this society and become a person who takes three wives and four concubines for granted, and traps Yunli in a small house, giving him a little favor is just pampering him.

But people are full of bad habits and yearning for temptation, so he hopes that Yunli can follow him, no matter where he goes, the person next to him is Yunli, only Yunli understands what he is doing and what he is thinking , They respect each other, love each other, and support each other, so that they can work together to resist all temptations.

He loves Yunli, and regards Yunli as his responsibility, and he is also Yunli's responsibility.Therefore, he will let Yunli know what he is doing now, and make up his mind on certain things in their little family.Just like what his father said, in a family, the so-called head of the family should bear the burden of the family, instead of giving orders and making speeches. Only by respecting and loving every member of the family can such a family develop well.

He thought what his father said was right, but in the Song Dynasty, this was wrong, but he didn't want Yunli to be a person who could only depend on himself, that would be too cruel, and would kill Yunli's talent.

Although Yunli didn't understand Li Enbai's exact thoughts, he worked hard to follow his steps.He knew that Xianggong was not ordinary, like Chen Yingcai, he couldn't be compared with Xianggong at all, even a person like Chen Yingcai could pass the examination as a scholar, his Xianggong would definitely be better, and maybe he would become an official in the future.

He couldn't embarrass his husband, so he worked hard to learn how to read, tried to understand what Li Enbai was doing now, tried to get in touch with everything Li Enbai let him touch, and then found that it was actually not as difficult as he imagined, with Li Enbai as him With his backing, he seems to be able to do anything.

Yunli turned around and sat straddling Li Enbai's lap with her legs spread out, hugged his neck, and pressed her cheek against his neck, "Sanggong, no matter what you do, I will support you!"

Then buried his head on Li Enbai's neck, "I won't lose you!"

Li Enbai patted the soft flesh on his butt, "What nonsense, I won't go anywhere without you, I don't need you to follow, I will hold you."

"Linfeng, I'm back... I'm here..." Liu Mingxi forgot to knock on the door because of his excitement. He pushed open the door and saw the scene where the husband and wife were glued together. He immediately retracted his legs, "Excuse me, I'm leaving now ’” and closed the door again.

Yun Li's shameful face was hot, and Li Enbai could clearly feel his cheeks getting hot, and patted his waist to comfort him, "Calm down, we didn't do anything, it's fine."

In other words, they all hugged each other without closing the door in broad daylight. What haven't they done yet? !Yun Li bitterly bit Li Enbai's neck, without leaving a tooth mark, and jumped up from his lap, "No, I have to tell Brother Chang Le, how could anyone come in without knocking?! "

"Yes, Changle's habit is not good." Li Enbai agreed, fearing that Yunli would become angry from embarrassment.

With Li Enbai's support, Yunli was full of confidence, and rushed out aggressively to talk to Liu Mingxi.

Liu Mingxi also looked embarrassed, how could he know that you two hugged each other in such a short time, how could he have thought of it in broad daylight?But in the face of Yunli's nagging, he still listened patiently and promised that he would knock on the door first to get permission before going in.

Seeing Liu Mingxi's expression that I was afraid to see you hugging each other, the heat on Yunli's face was about to rise again, and she hurriedly said, "Okay, I just remind you, brother Chang Le, go find your husband. It's time for me to cook."

After finishing speaking, without looking at Liu Mingxi's reaction, he turned around and ran to the kitchen without coming out. Liu Mingxi's heart, which was so excited and bewildered, calmed down after this experience, and he was able to clearly think about the various interests involved in the cultivator. , things are good things, but the time to offer them has to be chosen well.

If the choice is good, good things deserve to be rewarded. If the choice is not good, the value of the good things will not be fully realized, not to mention that the Liu family will also attract people's attention.

But now I still have to watch Linfeng make things. Liu Mingxi grabbed the fan and knocked on the door of the east room. He went in after hearing Li Enbai's answer. It was sitting silently watching.

Seeing the cold fruit tea brought by Yunli before, he was shocked to realize that he hadn't drank a sip of water for most of the day. After reacting, he felt that his throat was completely dry, so he took the cold fruit tea and drank it all in one gulp. , I feel that even if it is cold, the taste of this tea is very good.

Li Enbai didn't care about being stared at. He reinvested in research and made revisions on the manuscript paper he had drawn. The pattern can only be one-off, which led him to draw a stack full of drawings, piled up on one side and placed them on branches.

Liu Mingxi was a little curious, seeing that Li Enbai would not be disturbed by him, secretly took a small stack and looked aside, and found that the lines on it were very clear, the paper was clean, and the words written were not sloppy at all, but the color was gray. It's a pity that he can't understand the content on the drawing, and there are a bunch of strange symbols on it.

He can probably see what it means to use symbols, but he doesn't understand the specific meaning at all. He wants to ask Li Enbai, but seeing him draw on paper with something like a stick, he concentrates again. He is holding a paintbrush.

At first he thought it was a charcoal pencil, but the charcoal pencil was too fragile, and it would fall off with a stroke, making it look very messy.But Li Enbai's pen is different, it will not drop residue at all, it is also very smooth to use, the color can be light or dark, and it is very portable.

It wasn't until Yunli came to ask them to eat and Li Enbai put down his pen that Liu Mingxi asked about this special brush. Li Enbai handed it to him, "What do you mean? This is a pencil, and the refill is also made of graphite powder and clay. Yes, the pen barrel is made of wood, so it won’t break as easily as ordinary carbon bars, and the thickness can be controlled by yourself.”

Li Enbai took out a blank piece of paper and asked him to try to draw, "However, because of the manufacturing process, there are still many problems with the current pencils, such as the mixing ratio of graphite powder and clay is not optimal, and the pen barrel is more troublesome to make. Need to use cloth strips to help fix it, etc., but it is enough for me to use."

Liu Mingxi didn't pay attention to the problems he mentioned. Now that Li Enbai has already researched it, he will definitely improve it if necessary. Now there is only one problem to care about. After he drew a few lines on the paper, he found that it was indeed very Easy to use, at least convenient.

"How much does it cost to make this pencil?" Liu Mingxi kept writing and drawing on paper, and had a clear feeling about the use of pencils.

"Well... about ten yuan a piece, one can be used for about three months without breaking it." Li Enbai talked about the shortcomings of the pencil again, but overall the flaws are not concealed, and the price is very cheap. Very popular with underprivileged students.

Liu Mingxi returned the pen to Li Enbai, "Linfeng, are you interested in cooperating with this business?"

"Cooperation?" Li Enbai raised his eyebrows. He is not stupid. He is too aware of how much the invention of the pencil can have on poor students. He thought that Liu Mingxi would buy out the production method. He didn't expect that if he wanted to cooperate, it would spread the word. His status as an inventor helps to enhance his reputation.

"Yes, you are a scholar, and you are about to take the imperial examination. With this thing, you will be able to pass it smoothly in the future." Liu Mingxi said truthfully.

Li Enbai looked at Liu Mingxi for a while, then stood up and patted him on the shoulder, "No, I can't bear such a reputation, it's better to let Mr. Liu take it." Only he himself knows that from today onwards, He regarded Liu Mingxi as a friend.

"Let's go, eat first."

Liu Mingxi had no choice but to follow him to eat first, but he was obsessed with the matter of the pencil, and he couldn't eat well. He always wanted to say something to Li Enbai, but seeing him and Yunli picking up food from each other as if no one was around, talking in a low voice, I also felt that my eyes hurt from looking at it, and I swallowed all the words I wanted to say.

Li Enbai wrote down the detailed production process of the pencil and passed it to Liu Mingxi, "If you want to hire workers, it's best to choose people from our Huaimu Village. Some people have already done it for me, and it will be faster to get started."

"Linfeng, you really don't intend to let people know that you invented it?" Liu Mingxi confirmed again.

Li Enbai has been concentrating on studying the cultivator for the past few days, causing him to be suddenly interrupted and all the exhaustion poured out, and now he can barely open his eyes, "I don't plan, it's not appropriate." I couldn't help but hit Yawn, "Go to bed early, I have to make a model tomorrow..."

After dismissing Liu Mingxi who still had something to say, Li Enbai returned to the house, put down the bed curtain, climbed onto the bed and groped under the quilt, and put his arms around his lying husband, "Lizi..."

He was still not satisfied with his hug, so he slid his hands on Yunli's body for a while, finally found a gap and slipped in, muttering, "Lizi, good night..." The next second he fell into a deep sleep, obviously tired If it doesn't work, I will fall asleep on the pillow.

Yunli thought that he was going to do that kind of thing, so she had made up her mind to refuse, but when she heard Li Enbai say good night indistinctly, the breathing behind her became longer.

He pulled Li Enbai's hand out of his clothes, and as soon as he turned to face Li Enbai, he was bound tightly by his tightened arms. It was not uncomfortable, but he couldn't run away either. Yunli moved into a comfortable position, He whispered, "Good night, Mr. Xiang."

The only sound left in the dark room was the overlapping breathing of the two.
