Han Ximeng was a very independent woman when she was still in the boudoir.
She became a wife and mother three years ago, and often listened to Fan Polu's reports on the clothing company's orders for exporting dresses to Suzhou Weaving. She ran a business with her second uncle Han Zhongwen, and her style of conduct was tempered by life experiences.
Zheng Haizhu knew this very well, so he weighed the propriety of gentleness. When teasing the children, he would praise the young master for being elegant and unrestrained like his father, and then recall the travel scenes in Beigu Mountain, Zhenjiang, and Taiwan Island, Fujian, and talk about it step by step.
It's time to go back and relax the relationship between husband and wife.
Even so, Zheng Haizhu was like a dragonfly on the water. When he saw the ripples, he would stop it, so as not to make Han Ximeng feel repelled by "How can you preach to me before you are married?"
The relationship between best friends is often like this. You should take the initiative to care about each other, but you should not invade the boundaries of her self-esteem too much.
Compared with this subtle power like embroidery, Zheng Haizhu seized the marriages of the descendants of the Liao people in Zhuangzi just as he did the canal trackers.
This time, she wants to abandon the traditional method of keeping a matchmaker and pulling fiber, and let the young men and women who know Shaoai have more or less control over their marriage choices.
Creating opportunities for girls from neighboring villages to visit us must of course rely on cultural and sports activities.
Zheng Haizhu asked the hoarders to create two flat areas on the edge of Zhuangzi, not as school grounds, but as football fields and basketball courts.
Everyone knows Cuju. Although basketball has a new name and rules, its essence is to play coordination. Just like Cuju, it intersperses attacks and effectively defends. Boys who have kept up with nutrition will naturally like it. Instructor Qi Jiajun and Xu Yilong also support it and think it can be done.
Increase the sense of tacit understanding of fighting in battle.
The neighboring villages were also enjoying their leisure time, and the freedom of women in the countryside was greater than that of the ladies in the city of Su Songfu. Soon, Chongming girls began to appear around the golf course, from scattered to gathering places.
When it comes to watching football, what’s so nice about football is that it’s mainly about watching people. It’s the same in ancient and modern times.
As the young men and women watched from a distance for a while, we had to think of a way to help them integrate at a closer distance.
Zheng Haizhu then spent five taels of silver and invited a folk song troupe from the county town to Zhengjiazhuang to sing for three days.
Farmers love to get together and watch a show.
As soon as the stage was set up in Zhengjiazhuang, all Chongming locals from the neighboring towns gathered.
Because there were parents and brothers nearby, and the place was buzzing and lively like a market, and people from different villages were originally mixed together, the girls were not so embarrassed and shy, and they dared to chat with the young people of Liao.
The Chongming folk opera is naturally pronounced in Wu dialect, and it was difficult for the Liao people who first came to Jiangnan to hear it, so local girls acted as translators.
"The song that little lady sang was really weird. She was smiling so clearly. Why did she say she wanted to knock her husband on the head?"
In front of the stage, Hua Da curiously asked his sister Hua Er.
Behind them, a local girl from Chongming with a full moon face laughed and explained enthusiastically: "It's not about knocking on the head. In our Chongming dialect, 'beat' means flushing with water."
Hua Da turned around and met those dark eyes. He couldn't help but feel his heart tremble and asked: "Then, how do you say 'beat'?" Xie
"block."
"What do you mean by 'block'?"
"Soup."
"How do you say 'soup'?"
"hot."
"Uh..." Hua Da was completely confused.
The moon-faced girl's eyes were bright, suddenly flashing with amusement: "To wash is to hit, to hit is to block, to block is to make soup, and to make soup is to boil. It's not difficult. I can teach you a few more times." Xie
The young girl spent two years alone. Seeing this situation, she hurriedly said: "Brother, I'm going to find Mrs. Zheng."
After saying that, he left, leaving his brother behind to study foreign languages diligently and plan life events.
Outside the dark crowd, Zheng Haizhu was talking to Grandma Tang.
The tunes of Chongming folk songs are melodious, and the rhythm and lyrics are lively and popular. Not only the farmers inside and outside the village, but also the literati women like Tang Apo, Qian and Han Ximeng who are accustomed to Kunqu opera also listen to it with gusto.
Especially Grandma Tang.
For most of her life, apart from litigating, the old lady liked to read books. She also read a lot of books, poetry and opera books, and Feng Menglong's collection of folk songs. Living in Susong Paradise, where the publishing industry is developed, the old lady's huge reading volume can be compared with those of others.
The men in the court only read scriptures and history.
This time Zhuangzi came to the folk song club, and Grandma Tang was even more excited than the young men and women.
Because she got creative inspiration.
"Ah Zhu," she pursed her lips at the crowd, "our folk opera in Chongming County is comparable to Kun Opera, Ping Tan, and story-telling, all of which are interesting. Kun Opera is too elegant, Ping Tan is too short, and story-telling, no matter how eloquent your mouth is,
It’s not as lively as a group of people playing, playing and singing. I’m thinking, old lady, how about we set up a theater club in the village?”
Zheng Haizhu has this intention.
When leading a team and building infrastructure, how can we not also pay attention to literary and artistic propaganda work, as future generations will understand.
Just in time to see Hua Er running happily, Zheng Haizhu pointed at her and said with a smile: "Hua Er is so beautiful, she will be the first leading actress of our Zhengjiazhuangshan Opera Society. Well, Hua Er, and your brother
The young lady from the neighboring village who spoke is not bad either. She has a big face and is particularly eye-catching on stage."
Tang Po agreed: "That's right, I'm here to write lyrics for you little girls. Don't think about Lang all day long. He is the anchor of the slave family. You can also talk about it like Madam and her friends.
Buy and sell, be a teacher, fight Tatars, open a farm, raise soldiers, or, like me, dare to go to the government office to reason with the suffering people."
Zheng Haizhu clapped her hands together and praised: "It is only my mother-in-law who can do the job of writing a book. If the play is good, not only the characters must be good, but the book must be good as well. What kind of book can someone write with no experience in business, farming, fantasy, martial arts history?"
They are all like children's songs, and writing about lawsuits and wars is also like child's play. Mother-in-law, just do what you say, start writing, and the folk song club will be hung under your Women's Federation. From now on, if my Zheng family army wants to go out to fight, folk songs
She has to go with her. It's not singing and dancing under the beauties' tent, but to cheer up the soldiers. Therefore, my mother-in-law also wants to write some male dramas about Ling Zisheng." Xie
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The two of them talked enthusiastically, but the girl Hua Er was stunned at first, then embarrassed, with a bit of rejection, and said carefully: "Madam, mother-in-law, can I not be an actor?
, my mother said, only men who are not serious go to opera, if I go too, no..."
"Nonsense!" Granny Tang said with a bluffing face, "Those are the common opinions of the world. Isn't it even more unseemly if I think the opera is not serious and my eyes are glued to it when I watch the opera? My mother-in-law always goes back to Chongming County or Taicang.
When you go to court in Suzhou, you will inevitably be scolded by those government officials as litigators. I just think they are farting."
Zheng Haizhu saw Hua Er's mouth flattened, showing grievance, so he smoothed things over and said, "What my mother-in-law said is indeed reasonable. It is obviously a profession that is useful to the common people. How can it be lower than a scholar with a noble status? Litigation
He is not a litigator, but a litigator, and a singer or opera singer is not an actor, but an actor. A litigator is like a school teacher, and an actor is like a student. At least in the world created by my Zhengjiazhuang, that’s how I have to be called.”
Hua Er still looked at her and said, "I still like to drive your carts and feed your mules and horses. Also, when Madam's amazing spinning machine is built, I can also spin."
】
After her reminder, Zheng Haizhu suddenly remembered that the carpenter Gu Shan, who was clearly a bachelor, was not on the stage to sing today.
"Hua Er, have you seen Ah Shan?" Zheng Haizhu asked.
Hua Erdao: "Just now when I drove the mule cart to pick up Grandma Qian and the others, Ashan and Carpenter Hu were setting up a spinning machine. Grandma Qian was very kind and asked them to rest and watch the show together. Both of them said they didn't want to come.
I'm in a hurry to do my work." Xie
Carpenter Hu is also the master craftsman of Zheng Haizhu Firearms Workshop.
The Ge family father and son who were in the early stage of their creation have now risen to the level of head craftsmen, with dozens of people in charge. The firearms workshop produces machine guns, matchlocks, and cannons. It not only requires metallurgists, but also carpenters and cobblers to make various weapons.
Various accessories, including gun mounts and gun carriages.
After Zheng Haizhu started training the first batch of battalions on Chongming Island, he asked Wu Bangdang to bring several major types of firearms from Songjiang to observe improvement needs during actual exercises, such as how to make field guns smaller and how to use the butt of heavy matchlock guns.
Without affecting the efficiency of marching, how can the artillery carriage ensure rapid maneuverability behind the horses?
Several blacksmiths and carpenters from the firearms workshop also came over. Among them, Carpenter Hu hired a canal tracker. He could speak some Shandong dialect and got along well with Ah Shan who came from Liaodong. Ah Shan helped him improve the artillery carriage, and he also helped Ah Shan think about it.
Finished the multi-spindle yarn car.
At this moment, Zheng Haizhu thought for a while and said to Granny Tang and Hua Er: "I'm going to see Ashan and the others."
Hua Er hurriedly said: "I'll drive my wife to see her off."
"No, it's only a mile away. You can just walk there. Just listen to the song." Xie
