The matchmaker was delighted to hear her daughter's answer.

"As expected of my daughter Xi Chunhua, she should tear off the mask of their entire family like this."

Come on, before it gets completely dark, let's go with Mother to the doctor to have my pulse checked.

We'll have several doctors examine you this time to determine if there's anything wrong with your health.

If you have no problem, hehe, I'll make sure Ma Wangcai never holds his head up again for the rest of his life.

Mother told you, after I've dealt with the Ma family, I'll find you a good family. Today, I'm going to act as matchmaker for a scholar…”

The Zhao family decided to go to Baima Temple the next day to have their horoscopes matched with a monk's. After confirming the departure time for the next two days, they went back to their rooms to sleep early.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Huang and Zhao Qingyan got up.

Zhao Qingyi acted as if nothing had happened.

“I have to teach math to both boys’ and girls’ classes today, so I don’t have much time. I’m sorry to trouble Grandma and my third sister.”

Well, the reason is very strong. It's hard to say whether she didn't take it seriously or whether giving lectures was more important.

As for the others, they seem to be extremely busy as well.

Zhao Qianci had previously claimed he could make calligraphy brushes and paper, and he had indeed managed to tinker with them, but in the eyes of the women in the Zhao family, those things were simply too crude.

Zhao Jinfeng was a money-grubber; in his eyes, anything that saved money was a profit. He practically followed her around asking for the recipe.

Zhao Qianci didn't have time to make those things, so he could only teach his rough skills to his daughters-in-law, granddaughters, and grandchildren.

So the women in the family began to try making calligraphy brushes using various kinds of hair.

I tried all sorts of materials, including pig bristles, goat beards, horsehair, hare hair, cow ear hair, and mink hair.

As for the legendary best-quality weasel fur, I didn't even consider it; it's said that the fur is extremely malevolent.

Make several of each type of hair to determine which one works best.

As for the penholder, we haven't considered using other materials yet; bamboo will be the primary material.

These things were made for the children in the tribe to use for their education, so their aesthetic appeal was not important.

The women of the Zhao family were quite skilled with their hands. After mastering the production techniques, they sought out Zhao Jinfeng.

Zhao Jinfa was so happy that he slapped his thigh.

"This is wonderful! Now that we've learned how to make calligraphy brushes, the children in our village will never have to spend money on them again."

What were your thoughts on this technology?

"What were you thinking? This technology was originally intended to benefit the children in our village."

This technology was developed by my daughters after spending time and effort researching it.

To say that it was given to the villagers for free is not quite true.

How about this: whichever family wants to learn, they can pay ten coins as tuition, and once they've collected enough money, they can use it to buy some candy as a reward for the children who behave well.

For example, if Gouwazi gets an "Excellent" grade today, and the teacher feels he deserves a reward, he will give him a piece of candy.

If we learn how to make calligraphy brushes, then the children in our village can have calligraphy brushes to use without spending money, which is a great thing.

As for whether the technology can be protected or whether it will be leaked, our family doesn't worry about that.

Of course, it's not impossible for my uncle to open a workshop specializing in making calligraphy brushes. That depends on his boldness.

If a workshop is set up in the village, the pens produced should be given to the children in our village for free.

Uncle, is my family's request okay?

What are your plans, Uncle? Let's draw up some rules and regulations.

It's all arranged. Just let me know when you get to my house. Someone from my family will come over to borrow our children's classroom to teach these kids some skills.

"Uncle, you'll have to keep the number of people under control. My family will only be responsible for teaching 10 people; the others can be taught by those 10 people."

After explaining her purpose, Wang Caixia bid farewell to Zhao Jinfeng.

After receiving Wang Caixia's message, Zhao Jinfeng invited the clan elders to discuss whether or not to establish a workshop.

Meanwhile, on Huang's side, Lü Feng drove the carriage, taking Zhao Qingyan with him to Baima Temple.

Because of the thriving incense offerings, various snacks and trinkets are sold along the roadside starting from the foot of the mountain.

Since the carriage couldn't go directly up the mountain, they left Lü Feng at the foot of the mountain to watch the carriage, while the grandfather and grandson climbed up the mountain on foot.

"Hey, wait a minute, is this a sugar blowing sculpture? It's so pretty, I want to blow one out of milk."

Zhao Qingyan was so attached to Huang that they couldn't move.

Huang naturally agreed, and not only did he woo Huang, but he also wooed Zhao Qingyi.

Take a few more steps,

"Grandma, those bamboo baskets are so beautifully woven. We can buy some and keep them. We can take them out whenever we need them."

Zhao Qingyan whispered, and Madam Huang glared at her.

"Are you crazy? You're going to carry this stuff into the temple gate? If you like it, you can ask Grandpa Liu in the village to help you weave it later."

His bamboo weaving skills are renowned far and wide. Your father and the others learned these skills from your sixth grandfather.

The grandfather and grandson didn't seem to be in a hurry to go up the mountain to have their horoscopes matched; they were just there to relax.

In fact, the two of them really did come out to relax.

After climbing to the top of the mountain and entering the temple, Huang donated money for incense and then asked a high monk to help her match her birth dates with the Chinese zodiac.

At this time, Baima Temple was not under the supervision of Yunyou, and his junior brother Xukong took over as abbot.

This was a fat monk with a face like a Buddha. Looking at the Huang family grandfather and grandson, he exclaimed, "Goodness!"

"Strange, strange. People who had no connection at all are now tied together by a red thread. Interesting. A match made in heaven, a life of wealth and honor."

Huang didn't care what Xu Kong had said before; all she cared about was a blessed marriage and a life of wealth and honor.

I bid farewell to the host with great joy.

"Young benefactor, please wait a moment." Xu Kong called out to the grandfather and grandson who were about to leave.

"Did you call me? What guidance does the master have?" Zhao Qingyan asked.

Xu Kong scrutinized Zhao Qingyan for a while, then asked, "How is my senior brother?"

Zhao Qingyan sighed.

"I don't really know if he's alright now. He was perfectly fine when we parted ways. Is there anything else you'd like to ask, Master?"

Void nodded and then shook its head, "Young benefactor, don't you want to ask about your own marriage destiny?"

Zhao Qingyan laughed, "Master, I'm only 13 this year. Isn't it too early for me to be thinking about this?"

Void shook its head. "Not too early, not too early. Marriage is preordained by heaven. The peach blossoms will bloom on the third day of the third month next year. Miss, remember to go out for a walk."

Zhao Qingyan was speechless, but still politely said, "Thank you, Master. I will remember this."

But what he was really thinking was, "I'll go out for a walk on the third day of the third lunar month, but I won't go out. Let's see where my marriage prospects come from."

Zhao Qingyan was still rebellious when a voice sounded behind her.

"Young benefactor, remember to go out for a walk on the third day of the third month next year."

Huang readily agreed, and when she left, she specially donated 20 taels of silver as incense money.
