There are many planks piled up in the backyard of Yunzhong County Marquis Mansion, some of which are thick. The ground has been cleared and has a wooden foundation.
Qin Mumu and her daughter helped pack the tools, and from time to time reminded her son who wanted to come over of the danger.
Xuan'er and her daughter kept blocking Ye Lin's progress. The little guy could now stagger around.
Fang Linyue, on the other hand, had quick eyes and quick hands. She snatched anything she thought was dangerous from his chubby little hands several times, even a wooden stick smaller than a finger. This made Ye Lin feel very attached to his aunt.
Dissatisfied, he angrily sat next to Aunt Xuan and held his little hands to watch Ye An working there.
The weather is already very cold, but everyone in the backyard is wearing warm clothes. Sweaters, woolen trousers and leather jackets are the top cold-proof measures in this era, except of course the experimental down jackets worn by Qin Mumu and her daughter...
The thick silk is carefully sewn and soft duck down is locked into it, which is completely comparable to the down jackets of later generations. However, it cannot be washed or dry-cleaned. It can only be kept clean by changing the surface, which is extremely expensive!
Of course, this is nothing for the Hou family, which has a big business. Qin Mumu sent several items to each house, including the Tie family and the Hou family. It was considered comprehensive, but except for the two of them,
Others are reluctant to wear it.
The wooden slats were still a bit heavy. Wang Gang and Tieniu carried them here according to Ye An's request. They really couldn't figure out why the dignified Marquis wanted to piece together a house with wooden planks here. Is there not enough houses in the Marquis' mansion?
?
Ye An didn't care about this. After Wang Bang and Tieniu tied the planks, he shook the handle on the pulley. With the clicking sound of the gears, the thick planks were hoisted up. Wang Bang and Tieniu held them.
Just adjust the direction of the rope and lower it down. This saves time and effort, and you can easily build a wall in just a short time.
The slats and slats are connected using mortise and tenon joints, so there is a degree of relaxation and there is no need to worry about the structural strength.
After working for more than an hour, it was basically completed and the scale was not small. Qin Mumu looked at the wooden house in front of her with joy. She had always hoped to live a pastoral vacation life with Ye An.
This is a kind of romance that belongs to women, and for Ye An, building this kind of wooden house is his own hobby. In addition to playing with firearms, Qin Mumu strictly prohibits him from playing with dangerous gunpowder at home.
arms.
The prototype of the wooden house is already there. Things like these slatted floors have long been brushed with tung oil. After the smell dissipates, only the aroma of wood is left. In some places, pine is used, in some places, sandalwood is used, and in some places, it is sandalwood.
Camphor wood is used in some places.
A thick cashmere blanket was spread on the wooden floor, and the stone fireplace was lit. Fang Linyue was very curious about why the smoke went straight up and did not spread throughout the room, so Qin Mumu
The principle of rising heat flow in chimneys was explained to her and the children.
The popularization of these simple scientific knowledge is very meaningful. It inadvertently cultivates children's interest and makes them less resistant to learning.
Qin Mumu has prepared unified teaching courses for these children, which are the same for both men and women. In Ye An's view, these courses are equivalent to the enlightenment stage of kindergarten, although the education of this era is not enough for Ye An and Qin Mumu.
Comprehensive, but still need to follow the development laws of this era.
Ye An and Qin Mumu are always dissatisfied with education. They cannot find an education method that suits their children. There is no way, they have seen too much, and their ideas and knowledge systems are different from this era.
So gradually, I started to look down on the education methods of this era. Neither Ye Ling nor Ye Lin were different from the children in Tokyo. They were not forced to learn the things that were taught before high school, nor were they bound by many rules.
.
Qin Mumu's way of educating them is even more special. From every little bit of penetration, from every meaningful little thing, he makes them understand that this is to invisibly establish values and world views for the children. It's just this kind of education.
There is a drawback to this method. Parents will be very tired, but I have to say that the effect is amazing.
The three children learn things very quickly. I don’t know if it’s a genetic problem or something else. Ye Mei is always not as good as Ye Ling, but Ye Ling is not as good as Ye Lin.
Ye An doesn't want there to be too much competition between the three children. In his opinion, brotherhood is the most important. The three of them are all sisters. It is no exaggeration to say that the current Yunzhong County Marquis Mansion is for three children.
If a child loses his family, it can take two or three generations to lose. There is nothing to fight for. Children who are truly capable should start a career on their own.
Ye Mei is the kind of child who knows how to run a household, which is inseparable from her mother's education. Qin Mumu looks down on her very much, but Xuan'er is extremely insistent on this matter.
As for the future of Ye Ling and Ye Lin, Ye An and his wife do not intend to plan, and let them develop on their own. Judging from their current performance, both of them can achieve good results in every aspect.
Lying next to the warm fireplace, Qin Mumu sank into the thick blanket and lazily scratched Ye An's hair and said: "You still said to me, didn't you yourself get involved in the palace's trivial matters? No matter the official
You will support whatever choice I make, doesn’t this mean you support the abolition of the queen?”
Ye An shook his head and chuckled: "This is different. Although I support the officials, there is a premise that my attitude is impartial and I only do my own thing. The officials know this, and the same people in the court
The old fox also knows this!"
"I heard that the end of the wall is not good. Your attitude will inevitably offend both parties. The conflict between Mr. Lu and Privy Wang has been going on for a long time..."
"So! This time the deposed queen is probably the final duel between the two! Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian were both deposed, but they both came back. Where did the current situation of equal strength come from? That was deliberately prepared by our officials.
Yes!"
Qin Mumu rolled his eyes: "Do you think our official is still the same as you first met him? He has learned the art of balance over the years, not to mention that the two powerful men were controlled by him to death.
A good thing.”
"Do you think that's possible?"
Ye An adjusted his position so that Qin Mumu could lie down more comfortably and then said: "None of the veterans in the court are easy to get along with. It seems that the officials are trying to manipulate them, but in fact they are borrowing from the officials.
Use your own hands to achieve your own goals? That’s why I have always been cautious and unwilling to get involved. These old guys are too shady. I worked hard to make cloth in Qingtang, but I was knocked back to my original shape by one of their moves, otherwise I would be in trouble.
Luo would not have a chance to defeat Li Yuanhao and lead Qingtang to prosperity! There is also the reform of the Southeast Tea Farm, everyone can see the benefits of the new tea tea method, but in the end it was blocked by others... eh!"
Seeing Fang Linyue's resentful eyes, Qin Mumu was silent for a moment. After these two incidents, she also experienced the internal fighting among the courtiers of the Song Dynasty, and also understood how deep the interests were involved.
"Is there any movement over there, Fat Monk?"
"No, he said that Li Yuanhao is now focused on internal governance. After the battle of Qingtang, he plans to work hard on governance."
Ye An touched his eyebrows: "Then why does my right eyelid keep twitching?"
Qin Mumu snorted: "You haven't slept well recently, and you have a nervous breakdown!"
"I hope so!"
After Ye An finished speaking, he took Fang Linyue, who was fidgeting next to him, into his arms. How long will it take if he doesn't start now? He can't let go even if the flesh on his waist is pinched until it hurts...
