What may seem ordinary to others can be seen as wonderful in the eyes of those who know it well.
Xie Chen has a good friend who works in the manufacturing office and would often show him some pictures. Xie Chen has seen a lot and can be considered a semi-expert.
Now, Xie Chen found that the drawing in his hand, apart from the paper and pen and ink, was no worse than the drawings produced by the manufacturing office.
Some places are even more delicate, and the method of drawing is very strange.
The connections are particularly detailed...the most important joints are clearly visible at a glance.
How can I put it, it will definitely be easier to build things according to this picture.
What a good thing!
Xie Chen was slightly distracted in his thoughts. If his friend was allowed to see him, he would probably come to Mr. Song's house, and he would have to stay here for a few days to have a good chat with Mr. Song about the loom picture.
The father of Song Zhuangyuan was truly remarkable. It was a pity that such a man was hiding in the countryside.
After looking at the picture, Xie Chen went to look at the loom again. This loom was also very well made. It can be said that it is exactly the same as the one in the picture. Don't think this is nonsense. You must know how difficult it is to make it exactly as it is.
.
Xie Chen said: "Your fourth uncle did this?"
Zhao Yuan gave way: "My fourth uncle and Uncle Niu made it together. They have been working on it for a long time. There is still one unfinished one, which is over there."
Xie Chen followed Zhao Yuanrang's direction and looked over. Sure enough, there were a lot of wood scattered on the ground.
"Sister said," Zhao Yuan said, "after the New Year, we still have to make some farm tools."
Can you still make farm tools?
Xie Chen looked at Zhao Yuanrang.
Zhao Yuanrang said with a smile: "My husband can definitely draw pictures and plan the materials clearly. You may not believe it, but my husband can do everything."
Xie Chen might have been suspicious when he heard this before, but now he found that Mr. Song was becoming more and more unfathomable.
Xie Chen said: "How did you and Mr. Song know each other?"
"Originally we walked together when we were on the road," Zhao Yuan gave way. "Later, we were targeted by bandits on the way. It was my husband who came up with the idea to save us. If it hadn't been for that incident, we wouldn't have been able to fight with the government.
The authorities worked together to capture a group of ruthless bandits."
Mentioning this incident, Zhao Yuanrang showed a somewhat proud look on his face: "Did your Excellency hear about this incident when you went to the government office?"
Xie Chen shook his head, but considering how the villagers dealt with those people in the city that day, it was not surprising that they had captured bandits before.
Xie Chen put the loom diagram in his hand back on the table and picked up a book from it.
Zhao Yuan gave way: "Sir, you are not at home these two days. My fourth uncle is making things, so I am reading here."
Thank you for opening the book.
Zhao Yuan gave way: "This book was written by Zhang Yuan. Unfortunately, Zhang Yuan died and his books can no longer be bought."
Xie Chen suddenly froze when he heard Zhang Yuan's name.
Xie Chen said: "Has Zhang Yuan's case been investigated clearly?"
Zhao Yuanrang shook his head: "I don't know either. I just heard a few words from my husband and my sister. Zhang Yuan was harmed by people from the Liu family. The Liu family and those arrested yesterday are all in the same group."
Xie Chen whispered: "It is indeed."
The person who killed Zhang Yuan was indeed related to the Feng family. Zhang Yuan had long known about the Feng family's activities privately, otherwise he would not have written to him.
Xie Chen subconsciously said: "What does your husband say about Zhang Yuan?"
Zhao Yuan gave way: "What a pity."
Xie Chen nodded. It was a pity for Zhang Yuan. He was just about to ask Zhao Yuanrang to leave the room when he heard Zhao Yuanrang continue: "Those who open their eyes pretend not to see."
Xie Chen felt a shiver in his heart. It turned out that Mr. Song meant this when he said it was a pity.
The person with his eyes open is talking about the court official who knows the inside story? Is he also among them?
Although Xie Chen knew it was impossible, he felt that these words were talking about him.
Zhao Yuanrang looked at Xie Chen: "I don't quite understand what you mean, sir. Do you understand?"
Xie Chen didn't know what to say. He sighed for a while and said, "Let's go out!"
After walking out of the Song family's house, Mr. Song went to open the door. This time he said gratefully: "Let's get out of that hole!"
Second Master Song said: "How can you be so embarrassed?"
Xie Chen waved his hand: "It's me who's bothering you."
"My great-grandfather is not at home," Song Erye said, "I'm neglecting you."
Xie Chen knew that Mr. Song was being asked to help in the government office by Zhao Jingyun. When he returned to the government office this time, he wanted to find an opportunity to sit down and talk with Mr. Song, but he didn't know if Mr. Song was willing to talk to him.
Many capable people have somewhat weird personalities. If they make up their minds and refuse to speak up, no matter what they ask, they may not be able to wait for a response.
"Thank you, sir."
The girl's voice came.
Xie Chen raised his head and saw the girl from the Zhao family coming towards him. A thought flashed through his mind. He didn't know what Mr. Song was like, but his little apprentice was willing to work outside.
Zhao Luoyang said: "The food is ready."
Zhao Xueli, Zhao Xuejing and others also returned to the village. When they heard that Mr. Xie from Beijing was coming, the men of the sixteen households were a little surprised, but they were not panicked.
They have seen big scenes.
Feng Laosan said in a low voice: "Our village will definitely be better in the future. Mr. Nie, Mr. Zhao has been here before, and now another Mr. Xie has come. Maybe someone more powerful will come in the future."
Niu Daochang laughed when he heard this: "You are so beautiful."
It is a rare occurrence for an official to come to the village in many years, especially when Zhao Xueli is about to become the leader of Fengxia Village. He should be careful what he says in front of Mr. Xie.
But Zhao Xueli didn't know why. Maybe he, like Feng Laosan, had seen too much and was complacent? Why did he feel that Mr. Xie from the capital was not as powerful as the previous Mr. Wang?
A long table was set up in the main room of the Zhao family, which could seat thirteen or four people. Zhao Xueli took Niu Daochang and others to talk to Xie Chen, and then sat down around Xie Chen in a lively manner.
The female family members went to eat in the room next to the kitchen.
When Xie Chen saw chicken, duck, and bacon on the table, he couldn't help but said, "I'm causing trouble for everyone."
Zhao Xueli smiled and said: "Don't say that. It's almost the New Year. The village has already prepared these things to entertain guests. If you don't mind coming to visit us, we will all be happy."
Niu Daochang responded repeatedly: "Yes, as long as you don't dislike it, sir."
Everyone was chatting and laughing, picking up chopsticks to eat. The men usually ate quickly, but because Mr. Xie was beside them, they deliberately slowed down a bit, but half of the piles of wild vegetable cakes were gone in the blink of an eye.
Zhao Xueli said: "It would be better if you don't laugh at us."
Xie Chen said: "I know it's not easy for you. You just feel hungry when you don't have any oil or water in your stomach..."
After saying this, Xie Chen paused for a moment: "The female relatives at home..."
"Yes, they eat these too," Zhao Xueli understood what Xie Chen meant, "There are other guests at home, and they are there to accompany them."
Xie Chen suddenly remembered the scene at the door of the kitchen, and his heart suddenly jumped: "Is it a relative or friend?"
"No," Zhao Xueli said calmly, "This is also the first time for the people in the village to come to the village."
Some speculations were confirmed, maybe the person who might come is...
Xie Chen shook his head and the chopsticks in his hand immediately fell to the ground.
