Shen Langgui

Chapter 110

Suddenly, Xun He slapped the table violently, his eyes glistening, and said to Shen Yue: "I have an eye!!"

Shen Yue didn't know much about textiles, but he was very interested in Xun He, so he took advantage of the situation and asked, "What's the point?"

"The Luo we usually see is a two-warp twisted Luo, with two warps in a group. But the warps on this Luo are grouped every four times and twisted with the left and right adjacent groups, so its structure is like an iron chain. ,very complicated."

"So that's how it is." Shen Yue couldn't give any professional guidance, so he boasted: "Then we Li'er are great, you have cracked such a complicated weaving method."

"Thanks to Lord Shen, I can wake up the dreamer with one word." Xun He thanked him with a smile, and then picked up a pen to outline and draw a few sketches. Find colorful hemp rope and start to simulate weaving.

The moon was in the middle of the sky, but Shen Yue did not urge Xun He to go to bed this time, instead he sat quietly aside, watching Xun He concentrate and fumble out the noose weaving method through temptation.

There were seven or eight stars in the sky, and there were two or three spots of rain in front of the mountain. After a while, it rained heavily.However, Xun He was obsessed with the latitude and longitude in his hands, and was not disturbed by the thunder at all.Shen Yue got up silently, closed the doors and windows everywhere, and isolated Xia Yu from the outside.

The sky is white, and Xun He only weaves less than an inch of silk.Shen Yue picked up the fabric given by Supervisor Zhao, compared the two, and found that the weaving by Xun He was the same as the sample except that it did not have the hibiscus pattern on the sample. Holding his elbow, he said excitedly: "Master, the weaving method has been researched, let's tell Supervisor Zhao."

"Okay."

"and many more!"

"?" Shen Yue looked back, but saw that Xun He was looking straight at himself, Shen Yue touched his face, and there was nothing dirty on his palm, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

A look of shame appeared on Xun He's face: "I'm sorry, Lord, I was so excited last night and so far, I forgot to let you rest." When he said that, Xun He touched Shen Yue's eyes with his fingertips.

Shen Yue grabbed Xun He's finger and said in relief: "It's only for one night, just go to bed early tonight."

Xun He ignored it, and directly pulled Shen Yue into the room: "No, don't worry, let's sleep first."

Shen Yue smiled helplessly: "Even if you sleep, you have to eat breakfast first. Let's go and cook porridge with me."

After the new rain in the empty mountains, the grass and trees are as soft as crisp.

In less than two months, the sky on the top of the porch in the front yard has spread a lot, and now it is enough to provide shade for people to enjoy the shade.The worry-free flower at the other end of the corridor bloomed again in the middle of last month. The flower was huge, white but fragrant. When it was about to wither in a few days, Shen Yue picked it off and pressed it into the pages of the book to make dried flowers, and Xun He The collected flower is framed together and hung in the bedroom together with the two butterfly kites.

Going around to the backyard, the birds call out to clear the sky, invading the dawn and peeping at the eaves.Shen Yue took off the cage, fed and watered the lark and the parrot, while Xun He waded across the pebbles in the grass and stood on the bridge.

The early sun on the leaves and the rain, the water surface is clear and round, and the wind and lotus are lifted one by one.

"Father!"

"Hey, tell me."

"Yesterday's lotus buds are all blooming today, come and see!"

"Wait a minute, I'll come." Shen Yue quickly waited on the little bird, and hung the cage back.Unexpectedly, the blue-haired parrot saw the right time, and pecked at Shen Yue's sleeve and would not let go.This parrot is the descendant of 'Xiao Xianger' and 'Little Doll', and Xun He named him "Little Cute".

Shen Yue touched the parrot's head, comforted him and tried to make him let go: "Little cutie, I'm sorry. 'Big cutie' yelled, I have to go over, and I'll take you out for a walk later... Ouch, why are you biting? pinch!"

"What's the matter?" Xun He hurried back.

"Little cutie bit someone."

The two masters were both in place, the cutie acted according to circumstances, wisely chose to pretend to be good, her quivering feathers swelled into a ball, and her head drooped in a little fuss.Xun He nodded the little bird's head bitterly, and was about to go back to the room to get the medicine, but was stopped by Shen Yue: "It doesn't matter, it's just a broken skin."

Xun He put his hips on his hips and taught the cutie a lesson: "You bit him, let's see who will clean up for you in the future!"

"Hey, this kind of bird is very clever. If you scold him once, he will bear a grudge. Do you still remember, when the little thing flew out, and after you caught it, you said a few words to it, and for the next half month or so I don't care about you." Shen Yue opened the door of the cage, with his palm spread out on the door, the cutie pecked lightly a few times, and finally stood tentatively on Shen Yue's hand.Shen Yue said with a smile: "Sure enough, it thought of it."

Xun He frowned: "Be careful that it runs away. This parrot has been hand-fed since childhood and doesn't know how to forage. If it flies outside, it will be a dead end. Catch it back quickly."

Shen Yue thought for a while, and rejected Xun He's proposal: "No, there is actually a better way." Under Xun He's puzzled eyes, Shen Yue took the towel and scissors, coaxed the bird to lie on his palm, Then cover the bird's head with a towel, gently open the bird's wings, and cut off the outermost long feathers.

"Hey, that's all right." Shen Yue let go, the little cutie seemed to have endured it for a long time, she shook off the handkerchief covering her face, rushed to Shen Yue's shoulder, and stood majestically.Shen Yue turned his head and looked at the bird, the little cutie understood, and lightly pecked at the corner of Shen Yue's mouth.After interacting with the little bird for a while, Shen Yue smiled, turned back to Xun He and said, "Look, instead of reprimanding and forcing it to do something it doesn't want, it's better to think of a compromise. The little cutie is happy, so we don't have to worry about it." Jiu Jiu Not listening to Xun He's response, Shen Yue was surprised, and then asked: "Isn't it?"

The corners of Xun He's eyes were slightly red, he rubbed his face carelessly, stepped forward and hugged Shen Yue tightly: "Master, how can you be so nice?"

"Ah, why... why did you say that suddenly?" Shen Yue carefully hugged Xun He back.

After Xun He hugged enough, he rubbed against Shen Yue's neck, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Supervisor Zhao asked me to study weaving methods. Is it the arrangement of the master? You see that I can't get immersed in anything, so let me go again." gone back."

"Nonsense...nonsense, Supervisor Zhao came to you because he knew you were good."

Xun He let go of Shen Yue, and narrowed his slender eyes: "Huh? Who said you have to be honest with each other?"

Shen Yue had no choice but to surrender in desperation: "Yes, yes, but it cannot be said that this is my arrangement. After all, Supervisor Zhao is not someone to be manipulated, right. If you are incompetent, he will entrust such an important task to you. you?"

"You can say good things to scare me!" Xun He lightly punched Shen Yue's chest, and then stuck it back, "Master, you are so kind to me, so good..." So good, I am afraid that he will turn his face one day, Give up again, that Xun He would rather never get it.

However, Xun He's face was buried on Shen Yue's neck, and Shen Yue couldn't see his expression, so he kept asking: "How good is it?"

"Stop talking." Xun He collected his emotions and returned to dullness.

This time Shen Yue refused to let go, and decided to ask for a candy: "No, for the sake of staying with you all night, you have to say a few sweet words to coax me!"

The tenderness was blown away by Shen Yue in one breath, Xun He rolled his eyes, pushed Shen Yue to the wall, pulled his front and touched it: "It's so good that I must squeeze you dry today!"

"?? Wait!..." Shen Yue tried to resist Xun He, but was stopped by Xun He: "Don't try to use my body as an excuse, I'm tough!"

"...No, it's because we haven't eaten yet..."

Xun He let go of his mouth a little, put his cheek against Shen Yue, and asked, "Are you hungry?"

"I'm fine, but I'm afraid of you..."

Necked mandarin ducks are eager to play in the water, Xun He has no time to wait for Shen Yue to cook porridge at this moment, he is in a hurry to roll all the way to the ground: "I eat you is enough!"

Handan is not as good as beauty's makeup, and the wind from the water palace comes with the fragrance of pearls and emerald greens.I have always snuggled up to people and trembled, teaching you to pity you freely.

Xun He told Supervisor Zhao the lost weaving method he had researched, and Supervisor Zhao was overjoyed and reported it to Emperor Cheng, who immediately summoned Xun He for questioning.Shen Yue is not a prophet, and he had already discussed with Xun He a compromise strategy the night before - Xun He can lead a team to weave, but he is not subject to official titles.Xun He expressed his willingness, Emperor Cheng agreed, and a wave of busyness began.

Xun He transferred skilled weavers from Jiuwan and the Weaving Bureau to teach them the weaving method of the four warps and knuckles, starting from Su Luo.After familiarity, geometric patterns were added, and later complex patterns such as peonies and hibiscus were added.

The key to weaving lies in threading the healds, that is, crossing the warp threads and then passing through the brown eyes. The soft healds are very easy to tangle, and each twisting has to be sorted out with fingers, so the weaving speed is extremely slow.Xun He is considered one of the best, but he can only weave less than two inches a day. Calculated in this way, it will take half a year to complete one loom, and the value of it can be imagined.

two months later.

Another evening, the weavers went out to eat, but Xun He stayed at Jiuwan Workshop to weave.Shen Yue came in with the food and called out: "Li'er, it's time to rest."

"Yeah." Xun He put on the goggles again, got up and walked to the small table by the door, rubbed his hands happily and asked, "Let me see, what delicious things Master Shen made~"

Shen Yue scooped out a bowl of soup from the casserole, put it in front of Xun He, and introduced lightly: "Fish head tofu soup, recently I saw that while you were researching tricks, you also had to think about other things. It consumes a lot of brain power, so you need to nourish your brain."

Xun He nodded: "Yeah, Master has a heart. Is this red date porridge?"

"Yes, the freshly milled japonica rice from the neighboring county this autumn is boiled, with red dates and longan added to nourish qi and blood. There are also these two things, the new chestnut flour cake steamed with sweet-scented osmanthus sugar, and cold lotus root slices, for you to eat as a snack when you are hungry at night .”

"Great!"

Jiuwan Workshop is the site chosen by Xun He himself, located on the banks of the Qinhuai River in the outskirts of the city.During the daytime, the grass outside the square is delicious, and the banks are lined with green trees.It is September, the osmanthus seeds send fragrance, and the bamboo dew drips.

Xun He was next to Shen Yue and ate most of it.During the period, when Shen Yue was asked about Zhejiang's reform, Shen Yue only said that everything went well.

This year's plan to change rice into mulberry, raise silkworms and reel silk in Yong'an Xinxiu No. [-] has been very successful, and Shen Yue has contributed a lot.Chu Yegong planned to write a letter for Shen Yue to give some rewards, so he came to ask Shen Yue what he meant, but Shen Yue made it clear that he would go away after the incident, resolutely not accept the salary, stay away from the court, and be willing to be worthless.

The conversation was overheard by Xun He, and Xun He knew Shen Yue's temperament well. His unintentional fame is true, but his concern for the common people is even more true.Then Xunhe found Chu Yegong in private, and he learned from him that Emperor Cheng aimed to implement the new policy of changing rice to mulberry in Zhejiang Province. Chu Yegong, the new governor, urgently needed help, so he used this as an excuse to find Shen Yue , but Shen Yue was determined not to leave the mountain.Xun He knew what Shen Yue was worried about, so he reassured Chu Yegong that he would persuade Shen Yue when he turned around.

As a result of the persuasion, Shen Yue agreed to go to Zhejiang to help Chu Yegong carry out reforms, but the stay would not exceed three nights.In the days without Shen Yue's company, Hua Yin was responsible for taking care of Xun He's daily daily meals and reporting to Shen Yue.

Today is the third day of Shen Yue's stay in the Reformation Land, and he hurried back to meet Xun He in the afternoon.

Shen Yue was ingenious. He put two dots of rouge on the new chestnut powder cake steamed with sweet-scented osmanthus sugar, and then squeezed the juice with green bamboo leaves. After the dots, he drew two strokes of "inverted eight". A little yellow rabbit.Xun He couldn't help picking up a piece and tasted it, it was soft and sweet, it melted in the mouth, it was so delicious that he wished he could swallow it with his tongue.

"Master, it's the first time I found that life can be so comfortable."

Shen Yue smiled, scooped some tofu into the Xunhe bowl, and teased by the way: "A few mouthfuls of delicious food will make you linger on life."

Xun He shook his head: "No."

Shen Yue wondered: "Then where is 'comfort'?"

Xun He hesitated.

Shen Yue was vigilant that this was a sign of Xun He opening his heart, and he was busy planning in his heart, but he pretended to be indifferent on the surface, and calmly guided: "Maybe my experience is different from yours, but the feeling is the same. Now I feel that It’s quite comfortable, although it’s not as exciting as other people’s all-powerful, but every day I meet the expectations of my family and get a sense of accomplishment from it, which is a kind of ‘comfort’ to me.”

Seeing that Xun He was a little dazed, Shen Yue smiled and said: "You may find it difficult to understand when I say this, how about this, let me give you an example. In the past, I always stayed in bed for a while every morning, but now when I open my eyes, I will think 'I can't let Li'er wake up hungry, I have to cook', so this year, especially after returning from the Northwest War, I get up early every day, just to let you wake up and have a mouthful of hot porridge. Of course, Every age has the pursuit of every age. I am nearly half a century old and long for stability, but you are still young. If you want you to follow the rules and follow my ideas to live your life, it will be too strong for you. I only hope you are safe and healthy , but I hope that you can truly perceive the value of your existence in this world. Therefore, even though I am full of worries, I still compromise with myself and let you go back to Jiuwan, participate in weaving, and pursue the meaning of your life... Carp?... "

Shen Yue couldn't continue, because the water in Xun He's eyes gleamed, and when he lowered his eyes, they gathered into beads, dripping into the bowl and onto the table.

You know, in the past 12 years, Shen Yue saw Xun He cry for the first time. It was four months ago that he "resurrected from the dead". Landslides, finally have to vent in crying.

So this time, it seems that I have once again poked some secrets in Xun He's heart.

No matter how tired and miserable Xun He suffers, he can keep silent, but when he is understood by others, he will be like a child who is at a loss, and only knows how to express his response with tears.

Shen Yue leaned slightly, closed the door, hugged Xun He into his arms, and comforted him: "Cry, I can't see, cry as much as you want."

Xun He rested his chin on Shen Yue's shoulder, weeping uncontrollably.I don't know how long I cried, but Shen Yue's entire right shoulder was wet with Xun He's tears, Xun He stopped his momentum a little, choked up and said: "It's all your fault, actually I didn't want to cry, but when I heard you say ' Cry to your heart's content, I couldn't help it. Let me tell the truth to Master Shen, Master Shen, don't joke."

Shen Yue caressed Xun He's back, and comforted him softly: "Where did you come from, you are both husband and wife to me, and laughing at you is just laughing at my lack of vision."

Xun He wiped away his tears, and gave a difficult laugh, then said: "I originally thought that a person like me was not worthy of 'comfort'. How could I have imagined that one day, I could... I could Being cherished in the hands of someone like Master Shen, and I still have my own career, this career brings me happiness, but it is not a burden. I really dare not think that such a good thing will happen one day It's on me. In the past, I might have doubts, thinking that Master Shen was against his will and lived with me in order to make up for it. But now I believe that this is the choice of Master Shen from the bottom of his heart. Because I, like Master Shen, have similarities. If I exchange the supreme wealth and status in the world for everything I have today, I will not do it. I will not deliberately pursue these anymore, because I clearly feel the beauty of my life now .”

"Well. Yes, we are each other's happiness."

Shen Yue exhausted the greatest patience in his life, knowing that there were too many secrets in Xun He, but Shen Yue didn't question him or force him, just treat him well and let him rely on him at ease.After four months, I finally waited for Xunhe's heart wall to crack, and finally waited for Xunhe's heartfelt voice to be carefully delivered to me through the crack.

beep.

There was an inappropriate knock on the door, Shen Yue frowned and asked, "Who?"

"Master Shen, it's me." It turned out to be Yan Ru.

Shen Yue and Xun He looked at each other, Xun He nodded and allowed Shen Yue to open the door, Shen Yue then asked: "What's wrong?"

"My daughter-in-law... Yinzhang gave birth this morning, she is a big fat boy."

"Really!" Xun He couldn't care less about his eyes turning red, he grabbed Yan Ru and said excitedly, "I have to go back and have a look!"

This master has always been calm, and the ecstatic appearance of Man Juan's poems and books at this moment really frightened Yan Ru a lot.Yan Ru straightened her crooked hat, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "There's one more good thing!"

"What good thing? Say it!"

"Miss Peng Yu also diagnosed a happy pulse today, our family is blessed with double happiness today!"

Author Say: A very difficult chapter.Fortunately, the finished product is quite satisfactory, and I have been waiting for you for a long time.
