Not long after Yang Muxian lay down, there was a very light sound of knuckles tapping on the window lattice outside the window.
The cold wind has returned.
Open the window.
The cold wind jumped in from the window, bringing in a cool night breeze.
Lengfeng didn't say anything, and just gave Yang Muxian a small wooden box.
Then he turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
Yang Muxian sat down, opened the wooden box, and read the reply written by Zhao Dingshan.
Suddenly, his hands clenched into fists and he banged the table hard.
Ah Wu, who was guarding the door, was shocked when he heard this: "Master, is there something wrong?"
"None! Go down and rest!"
"yes!"
After A Wu's footsteps faded away, Yang Muxian waved to the cold wind hiding in the dark.
Leng Feng came over and Yang Muxian almost gritted his teeth and confessed a few words.
When he lay on the bed again, he was not sleepy at all.
All I could think about was Jiang Xiaohua.
…………
In the days that followed, hundreds of people rolled up their sleeves in the back mountain area of Dalingzi Village and were working in full swing!
What Jiang Xiaohua wants to do is just tell Xuan Yu her thoughts and requirements.
As expected, he came from the capital.
Everything was arranged in an orderly manner by Xuanyu.
Jiang Xiaohua herself and the Jiang family continued to make paper on a small scale.
Of course, the last few steps are completed in the backyard.
Aunt Zhao always wanted to come to the backyard to have a look, but her uncle Jiang Xiangwen dragged her away.
Xuanyu picked a few women with quick hands and feet to help Jiang Xiaohua fish out the paper.
Working in shifts, several people can harvest more than 300 pieces of paper in a day.
Jiang Xiaohua asked Xuanyu to inquire about the price of bamboo slips. An ordinary bamboo slip cost ten cents on the market.
Of course, there are also particularly good ones. A bamboo slip can be sold for twenty-five cents.
Jiang Xiaohua thought about it. Although paper is a scarce commodity, the price cannot be set too high.
It's too high, and those scholars can't afford it.
Xuanyu believes that rare things are valuable!
It is normal for the selling price to be higher.
Jiang Xiaohua didn't think so. Xuanyu's idea would definitely be fine in the capital.
Because most of the scholars in the capital are descendants of aristocratic families, they are not short of money.
As for small places like Yuntang Town, it is different. In addition to wealthy families, there are also families like Lao Jiang's family who can send their children to school. They almost use the whole family to send their children to school. There is no such thing.
Extra money.
Besides, there are many types of paper. The paper produced now is actually the most common ephedra paper. After the factory is built, the variety of paper will increase, and good-quality paper will naturally sell for a higher price.
Finally settled on two models.
Ordinary ephedra paper sells for twelve cents a piece, and ten pieces of paper or more cost ten cents a piece. The size is about the same as octavo paper.
The other is like letter paper, neatly cut, and divided with vermilion lines. It looks delicate and elegant. The size is only half of the octavo paper. The selling price is fifteen cents a piece, and more than ten pieces of paper are
Twelve coins a piece.
Let’s set the price first.
There are still a few days left before the shop in Yuntang Town can be recovered. In addition, carpenters have to be found to build containers of different sizes to facilitate holding various types of paper.
The store also needs to be renovated, especially above the door. Jiang Xiaohua plans to design a billboard by herself.
Jiang Xiaohua is too busy these days to keep her feet off the ground.
The eldest brothers Jiang Hongzhi and Ling Wenjing were happy to stay at Mr. Tao's house.
No reply for a long time.
…………
On the other side, the Su family also became lively.
When Jiang Xiaohua went home for dinner at noon, she heard from her grandma, Mrs. Jiang, that Su Daya's mother had asked her aunt's brothers to carry Su Zhiyong home that morning.
Jiang Xiaohua was still surprised: "Didn't we agree that we would have to observe him for a few more days? Why did he just go back?"
Mrs. Jiang said with a smile: "Not only is your Uncle Zhiyong going back, but your grandma, me, your eldest aunt, and your third aunt are not allowed to be at home these days and have to go to the Zhang family and the Su family to help."
"Why?"
"You don't know?" Old Mrs. Jiang asked. After asking, she clapped her hands again and said, "That's right. You have been busy in the back mountain recently. You probably don't know about the things in the village. Su Daya and Zhang Lin
Getting married!"
ah!
"So fast?"
"Of course it's coming soon. I've already finished Nacai, asking for names, Naji, Nazheng, and asking for dates a few days ago. In two days, it's the day they will get married. Speaking of which, Su Daya also has a hard life. On the second day of the wedding
Zhang Lin has to leave and serve in the military, it’s too late!”
Su Daya and Zhang Lin are getting married soon?
And military service?
oops!
How could you forget this?
Jiang Xiaohua didn't even bother to eat and ran out of the door in a hurry.
Old Mrs. Jiang exclaimed: "Little girl, what's the matter? Are you in a hurry? You're in such a hurry that you don't even bother to eat."
Jiang Xiaohua went to Li Zheng and Ding Yi's house. Fortunately, there was still a place.
The key is that there are very few people who can afford twenty taels of silver.
Jiang Xiaohua paid twenty taels of silver for the Zhang family, which was regarded as a place for Zhang Lin to be placed on death row.
This way Zhang Lin doesn't have to do military service.
Su Daya is also protected by someone.
When Jiang Xiaohua came back from doing things, Mrs. Jiang and her family were waiting for her to have dinner together.
"Milk, you don't have to wait for me to come back next time, you can eat first!" Jiang Xiaohua said as she picked up the bowl.
Aunt Zhao glanced at Jiang Xiaohua and felt very sad. She wanted to speak, but her uncle Jiang Xiangwen kicked her under the table.
Ansheng.
The third aunt, Mrs. Liu, saw it, glanced at the sister-in-law, and said nothing.
Eat quietly.
Jiang Xiaohua was very interested in the wedding customs here and asked Mrs. Jiang what steps to adopt before.
Jiang Xiaohua was particularly interested when she heard about the betrothal gift.
Mrs. Jiang explained it in detail.
When people in the village get married, they are also very particular about the betrothal gifts.
The betrothal gift plus the bride price make a total of twelve gifts.
Mrs. Jiang said that she would not be able to pay for all the twelve gifts without ten taels of silver.
The Zhang family can be considered sincere.
It's all ready.
On the day that Su Daya and Zhang Lin got married, the entire Dalingzi Village was very lively.
Early in the morning, the Zhang family and the Su family had already started to build sheds and set up pots in the yard.
The support pot is actually a simple stove set up in the yard, on which five or six earthen pots can be hung at one time to stew food together.
When Jiang Xiaohua arrived at Su's house, Aunt Li from Quanfu had already combed Su Daya's hair.
Jiang Xiaohua came into the room, walked around Su Daya a few times, and said with a smile: "No wonder you have to wear a red wedding dress, your complexion is really good-looking!"
Su Daya smiled shyly with a hint of helplessness: "Stop teasing me, you are free today?"
"Of course I have to come on your wedding day. This is for you!" Jiang Xiaohua handed Su Daya a heavy brocade bag.
Su Daya didn't answer: "What are you doing?"
Jiang Xiaohua chuckled: "Add some makeup! That's not what I'm interested in!"
Su Daya shook her head: "Now is the time for you to use your money, I can't accept it!"
Jiang Xiaohua put the brocade bag into Su Daya's hand: "Take it! When you marry into the Zhang family, you can buy whatever you want."
Jiang Xiaohua heard from Mrs. Jiang that Zhang Lin's grandfather spent a lot of money on the twelve rites and bride price for his eldest grandson's marriage.
He also said that most of the money was borrowed.
After Su Daya got married, the Zhang family had to make up for these holes.
