Chapter 319: Returning in Disappointment
"If a man can find a wife who is in love with him, why can't a woman find a husband who satisfies her?"
But the scholar still muttered something: "A gentleman should focus on the inner, not the appearance. A gentleman should be virtuous..."
The scholar talks too much, which is a bit annoying.
The girl on the stage immediately shouted at the top of her lungs. "I don't know what's going on inside and outside. I just want to find a good-looking husband. Otherwise, what else am I after? I want him to be ugly, I want him to be poor, I want him to be good."
Don’t you want to wash your feet?”
These words caused a burst of laughter in the audience.
"Young masters, think about it for yourselves, should you marry a beautiful woman who manages a home and understands poetry and literature, or should you marry an ordinary-looking girl who is inept and inept. Why can you marry a good wife and not let a woman choose a good wife?
Where is your husband?"
"That's wrong, girl! Marry a virtuous wife..."
There was a fierce quarrel on stage and off stage. Yuntao watched for a while and felt that the little girl on stage and the serious scholar below the stage seemed to be a good match.
After much talk, neither side could convince themselves.
It is an improvement for a woman to argue with a man on the street about the freedom of marriage, Yuntao thought.
After watching the excitement for a while, Yuntao suddenly felt a little thirsty, so she took Li Qianchen and walked a few steps forward, entered a teahouse, and asked for a pot of tea.
The two chose a seat by the window, ordered two plates of snacks, and ate tea.
Listening to the bustle of people coming and going in the teahouse.
Yuntao was holding the tea cup and drinking it properly, when she suddenly heard someone in the teahouse say her name.
"I heard... a man presented a treasure to the princess the day before yesterday. The princess was very happy and rewarded him with a lot of money."
"But I heard that the princess liked that thing very much, so she accepted that person by the way!"
"I heard that he is a handsome man!!!"
People around me can enjoy gossiping.
After hearing this, Yuntao squirted out all the water in her mouth.
Money? Men? Beauty?
What does all this have to do with?
Li Qianchen took the handkerchief and wiped the water stains on Yuntao's mouth and body, then wiped the water stains on the table and asked the waiter to change two plates of snacks.
"It's my fault that I took you out at this time."
Yuntao took the handkerchief and shook her head, "I don't blame you, let's listen to it again."
After the two listened for a while, Yuntao knew what was going on.
It turned out that it was the Zhao family and his son who came to present the shelling machine.
Somehow it spread, and it became more and more outrageous.
Yuntao stopped wandering around, stuffed her mouth with snacks and said, "I'll go back and post a notice at the city gate to prevent them from getting more outrageous."
"Okay." Li Qianchen put away the determination in his eyes.
The little gentleman can handle these things easily, so there is no need for him to come.
On the way back, Yuntao felt a little hungry and took another bag of fried chestnuts. As the two walked on the road, Li Qianchen peeled the chestnuts one by one, and after peeling one, he gave it to Yuntao.
After stuffing the cloud peaches one after another, my little mouth kept chewing.
Li Qianchen enjoys feeding his unmarried wife.
Yuntao walked to the quieter alley and glanced back at the lively street before slowly turning back.
"Do you still want to play?" Li Qianchen asked, slowly peeling chestnuts for Yuntao.
"No." Yuntao stuffed a sweet chestnut into her mouth. "I just feel like something is missing."
Li Qianchen also thought for a moment, what is missing?
"Where can I find this missing thing?" Li Qianchen asked.
Yuntao shook her head and chuckled, "Nowhere, as long as I have you."
This was an appropriate answer, but Li Qianchen was still curious about the missing thing.
Yuntao wants to set off fireworks.
On such a lively day as the Chinese New Year, you should set off fireworks.
The paper on space should talk about the production of fireworks, but there are no fireworks in Dajin.
It is not good to make flashy things like fireworks now, and since they are related to explosives, they should appear at the right time.
Yuntao wants to do too much, but there is a time limit for refreshing the papers in the space.
Calculating the time, it just happened to be updated on the first day of the new year, so I can think about what to watch next year.
Thinking this way, she walked more and more briskly on her way home.
Although there are no firecrackers in the Jin Dynasty, there is a custom of burning bamboo. The bamboo is roasted on the fire and bursts naturally. Every New Year, every household will roast the bamboo to drive away the god of plague.
The crisp crackling sounds bring the joy of the New Year.
It was the first time for the two of them to celebrate the New Year in a leisurely and leisurely way.
Yuntao gave everyone in the house a holiday, so she probably couldn't follow any of the old New Year rules to feel comfortable.
In the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, people all over Li'an came out to pay New Year's greetings. When passing by the city gate, they found a notice.
It says a reward for Zhao's carpenter.
It is said that there was a carpenter named Zhao in the county, and the father and his son made a new thing that could shell rice.
Dedicated to the princess!
The princess was very pleased when she saw them, and took them both to work in the carpenter's workshop, and gave them a reward of fifty taels of silver.
By the way, the people are also encouraged to keep innovating. Any innovation that is helpful to farming or other things, and that conforms to the rules, can bring things to the princess's house. If it is useful, they will naturally be rewarded.
As soon as this notice was posted, the previous misunderstanding was naturally resolved, but it was replaced by a more lively atmosphere.
A tool used for shelling rice can receive a reward of fifty taels!
Be good! If they come up with something else useful, can they also receive so many rewards?
This rule of reward has always been there, but everyone in the city didn't take it seriously.
It's more because I don't have a clear direction, I don't know how to innovate, or what kind of things can be called innovation.
Shelling rice can be regarded as an innovation, so if they think about a farm tool for cutting rice, or a farm tool that loosens the soil faster, will they be rewarded?
Visiting relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year is quite normal, just in this ordinary atmosphere.
This rule about Yuntao spread even further.
Everyone wants to innovate, no, everyone wants to make money.
Even the scholar who has been studying hard all day has carefully considered what innovative tools he has around him.
However, having passion and being able to do it are two different things.
The next day, someone brought tools to the county government office.
I made several rakes out of wood, all kinds of weird shapes.
Others suddenly had the idea of tying wooden bowls and chopsticks to their bodies and wearing them.
Simple farm tools are also available.
There are also brooms that can sweep the floor at both ends...
There are really a lot of weird things like this.
Yuntao took one look and suddenly felt a little headache.
Then I gave it to the people below to see.
The people below didn't know how to judge, so Yuntao gave them a list of criteria, which is to use tools to save time and effort, and secondly, to use tools to directly replace human hands.
After sifting it through in this way, nothing will be left.
Many of the people who came here with these things in high spirits returned disappointed.
Yuntao was also disappointed...
