Si Shiyuan thought that the old spinning wheel could be sold for nearly ten taels of silver, so she could get another twenty taels for herself. She would not take advantage of this in vain. After she earned the money, she would have to take care of Xiao Xun's health.

clothes.

Now that the little niece has made a condition, how can she not agree? She hurriedly said: "What's wrong with this? It's just that I haven't spun rabbit hair before, so I have to give it a try first."

Everything has to have a process. Qixun nodded: "Just try it slowly. If it can be spun, I will teach the fourth aunt to knit a sweater. It will be light and warm. Maybe I can also use it to make some money. And knitting sweaters

The work is also simple, and my aunt and uncle can do it whenever they have free time."

There are very few places where farmers can make money. After hearing this, Mr. Si said happily: "When the spinning wheel is adjusted, Xiaoxun will tell me how to spin this free wool. I will definitely spin good wool as soon as possible. But,

Where does this rabbit fur come from?”

"Didn't you divide up a dozen rabbits from my uncle's house before? Grandma Zuo's family also divided them into more than ten rabbits. I have almost fifty rabbits at home. After raising them for so many days, their coat color has become more and more shiny, so I have to cut them once every two days.

, let my third sister help me clean it with medicinal materials, dry it, and send it to my fourth aunt."

Mrs. Si smiled and said, "Then let's try the loom you made again."

The problem with the loom is not big either.

After testing the loom, Qixun simply sold the loom to Mr. Si for thirty taels of silver. No one in her family used it, and it gathered dust just sitting there.

"It won't be too late to give the money for this loom to my mother when you make money in the future. Our family is not in a hurry to use the money now. You don't want this loom, and I can't sell it for the time being. It will just sit there gathering dust."

Mrs. Si thought about it. She sold her old loom and spinning wheel. The loom was slightly more expensive and she could sell both items for just over twenty taels. She added ten taels first and paid for the spinning wheel first. The money for the loom was only

I owe it first.

Fortunately, she has an income from making tofu at home, and now she has such a good spinning and looming machine. The finished product is at least four times what she used to produce. After deducting the tax to be paid, she keeps what she uses for her own use and takes out the rest.

Sell ​​it and scrape together the money, and you can pay off the debt in less than a year.

Thinking about it this way, Ms. Si felt that her life was more promising.

At least she can make money for the pen, ink, paper and inkstones her children spend on studying.

Qixun was busy modifying the spinning wheels and looms, while Brother Monkey was helping. Lingqi was reluctant to leave and was also watching.

If Sister Xiaoxun can make such a good spinning wheel and loom, then she can really make a washing machine. Lingqi gets excited just thinking about it.

Gongyu Mingxi knew that his fourth daughter had a temperament that turned her back on what was happening outside the window, so she took Mrs. Si to the kang to gossip.

Mrs. Si praised the spinning wheel and loom made by Qixun, and said a little embarrassedly: "...I'm embarrassed to say that I actually took advantage of my niece. Wait for a few girls to go there

When they get married later, I will give them a generous dowry."

Gong Yumingxi laughed on the outside, but was very miserable on the inside.

I have several children, but none of them wants to get married in the future. Ninety percent of the four younger siblings will not be able to add to their makeup.

When it comes to carrying on the family line, we can only count on our eldest son.

"My family, what are you talking about? No matter how good the two machines are, our family can't use them. It's not like you don't know me. I'm clumsy and can't spin or weave. The third girl is studying medicine, and the fourth girl spends all day

After messing around with her carpentry work, the fifth girl can do some embroidery work besides writing and drawing. You spent tens of taels to buy those two machines, so her work is not in vain, and she may feel so beautiful.

.”

Mrs. Si was also happy when she said this: "What Second Sister-in-law said is not because I am an aunt to boast. If these three girls in our family are not good, then there will be no good girls in Linjiang County! Only Second Sister-in-law, you are the only one."

Only with character can I give birth to such a good girl. It’s a pity that I gave birth to two stinky boys. If I had the skills of my second sister-in-law and gave birth to such a good girl, I would laugh out loud in my dreams. How capable the three girls in our family are, Su’er

The old man praised his medical skills very much. After a few injections, the old man's body was healed. Yu'er looked smart at first sight, and it's not that I am biased, but I was very happy when I saw Yu'er. Xiao Xun

Although she is naughty, she is naughty. She is able to make such a good spinning wheel and loom at such a young age. Think about it, second sister-in-law, what will happen to her when she gets older?"

Gongyu Mingxi waved his hand: "They are little people, don't praise them like this. Su'er and Yu'er are just fine. If Xiaoxun listens, he will only be more naughty in the future."

Mrs. Si smiled and said: "What are you afraid of when you are shopping for something at home? She is polite outside. When our three girls go out, who wouldn't give a compliment? Having said that, our boys are not bad either. Second sister-in-law, let me tell you.

, our Lingzhou family, in the past six months, several people have been invited to come over to find out whether they want to marry their daughter to him. However, the eldest brother and sister-in-law did not respond. The old man said that Lingzhou’s marriage is not urgent. "

Gongyu Mingxi had taught Lingzhou for so many days, but he still valued his cousin. After hearing these words, he nodded and said: "The old man is right. The future of this child Lingzhou is not bad. A scholar will not be able to run away next year."

, after the New Year, he is only seventeen years old, so what is the hurry about getting married? No matter how hard he works, he might be able to be named in the april list in the autumn of next year. For a teenager who is a teenager, what kind of marriage can't be discussed? "

Mrs. Si clapped her hands when she heard this: "That's it. Second sister-in-law, is it really possible for our Lingzhou to win?"

"There is hope, but the failure of success is also due to luck. His poems and articles are all good, but he is still young and lacks some experience and vision. Insight into everything in the world is knowledge, and knowledge of human feelings is the source of articles. It is a pity that his family did not help him before.

, otherwise, if Lingzhou is allowed to follow his second uncle to Beijing to broaden his horizons, he will make progress on his own, so that he can make up for this shortcoming. But there is no rush, there will always be a chance to ask him to go out for a walk in the future. "

The children around are still young, so how can a young man in his teens be in a hurry to be an examiner? It is good for a young man to become famous, but entering an official position too early may not be a good thing.

If conditions permit, Gong Yumingxi feels that it may be more helpful for Lingzhou's future development to go to Beijing with several of his children to take the Imperial Academy and the Imperial Academy.

It's just that it's hard to say this to Mr. Si now.

Mrs. Si finally understood that it was very likely that her eldest nephew would become a civil servant in the future, and she was very happy. Although he was not her biological son, he was his biological nephew. Now that the family has not been separated, if the eldest nephew gained fame

, then when you go out, your identity will be different.

Mrs. Si smiled and said: "I will have a good talk with my sister-in-law when I get back, so that she can be happy too. Oh, speaking of it, you Lingfeng is no worse than Lingzhou. You are both the best children. Those two brats I gave birth to

, If their two brothers Lingzhou and Lingfeng are half as good in the future, I should burn incense."

Gongyu Mingxi thinks this kind of thing where parents show off their children to each other is quite interesting. The experience is very novel and feels inexplicably satisfying.
