Su Shinian was completely speechless. She knew that Yang Wan liked her younger brother, and she did feel a little sympathy for her, but she really never put it into action.
She knew that arranging concubines for others would make people hate her, so she did nothing but tried her best to persuade Yang Wan that being a concubine was not a good destination after all, and that finding an honest and caring husband and living an ordinary life would be the happiest thing.
Yang Wan didn't take it seriously, thinking to herself that you people who were born in such a fortunate situation are just talking without any consideration for yourselves.
After Su Shien and the others left, Yang Wan went back to her room and cried for a long time. What was wrong with her? Why did the young master just look down on her?
The nurse mercilessly dealt her granddaughter a fatal blow: "You are a girl, and the young master doesn't like this. You'd better give up this idea!"
Yang Wan's eyes were red as she retorted stubbornly, "Even so, doesn't he need a woman to carry on his family line? That little guy can't have children, so why can't it be me?"
The nurse didn't even bother to roll her eyes: "Isn't Dingxiang pretty? Aren't those two little girls pretty enough? Have you seen the young master touch them? If you don't listen to the old people, you will suffer the consequences. Just be open-minded. Grandma won't harm you."
Yang Wan bit her lower lip, knowing that she was not as good-looking as Dingxiang and the others, but what could she do?
When she was at home, everyone said that fat girls were pretty. But when she came to the Su family, she tried hard to fatten herself up. Apart from making more waste fabric, she didn't seem to attract much attention from others.
They also say that a white complexion can hide all ugliness, but that's all lies. She is now fair and plump, but the young master still despises her.
The nurse advised earnestly, "Don't wait, it's useless. Men don't think about the inheritance of offspring when they are young. By the time he starts to take it seriously, how old will you be? Can you afford to wait?"
Yang Wan was only fifteen years old, at the age when she was just beginning to fall in love and was a bit stubborn. After hearing what her grandmother said, she cried even more sadly.
When the wet nurse saw her like this, she knew that she had not let go yet. She was quite dissatisfied and blamed the child for being ignorant.
It seems that I have to control the timing myself. I can't rely on this child to achieve anything.
…
The new brother and sister-in-law Chen are very hardworking, efficient and skilled. With the lazy donkey Menzi around, the variety, quality and output of soy products have increased sharply.
After the weather turns cooler, Han Ji's big pot stews sell particularly well. You can bring your own vegetable bowl to buy one, and take home a large piece of tofu. The stewed dishes are enough for the whole family.
Han Zeyu bought a lot of jars when he was making fruit wine before, and now he uses them to store fermented bean curd or pickled salted duck eggs, so there is no waste at all.
When he returns to the village, he will build a kiln. The store has a huge demand for these ceramic utensils. Instead of letting others make money from him, it is more economical for them to produce and sell them by themselves.
The last time he fired the thousand character molds, he spent a lot of money, and Han Zeyu has always been brooding over it.
Su Shien gave the written script to Yuger to review. If he thought it was okay, he would send a copy to Lin Jing for his review.
What Su Shien wrote originally replaced the apocalyptic disaster with a fictional background, replaced the zombies with zombies, and replaced the superpowers with talented people.
Han Zeyu felt that this arrangement was very reasonable. People who bought the book had to feel involved and familiar with it, otherwise the money would be wasted.
When Han Zeyu returned to the village, he took the little girl with him. To be honest, Brother Chen and his wife were a little worried, but they had to work, and it was really inconvenient for the child to stay with them.
The little girl's name is Chen Yuanyuan. She is seven years old. She is thin and looks even younger.
The reason why Han Zeyu brought the person back was to find a playmate for his daughter Yumo.
The adults were busy in the store, leaving only one old person, three children, and a pregnant Wang Qin at home.
As the only male left in the family, Han Zeli shoulders the responsibility of protecting his sisters and eldest cousin's wife, and thinks he is a man of his own standing.
It’s a pity that this little man is about to be ruthlessly thrown into school to receive enlightenment education.
The twins grew up together and their family never favored either of them. When Ze Li went to school, Yu Mo, who was left at home, felt particularly lonely. Yuan Yuan came at the perfect time and filled the vacancy left by Ze Li.
The two little girls get along well with each other. Yuanyuan is a child who has experienced hardships, and she is so sensible at such a young age that it makes people feel distressed.
…
Han Zeyu built a kiln on the open space with stones and blue bricks.
More than 700 character molds were carved out of the 1,000 small cubes that were customized previously. This was Han Zeyu's first challenge, so the loss rate was a bit high.
There are about two thousand characters used in this storybook, so in order to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, Han Zeyu personally went to the kiln to burn the kiln.
The money spent on the previous batch of font molds was not wasted. At least Han Zeyu learned the skills from a master.
First, the milky white clay is sent into the kiln and fired. When it reaches a certain temperature, it will gradually soften.
The fine clay is then made into small cubes of one centimeter in length and width, and fired again to harden them. Convex text is carved on the fired small cubes to make a reverse text mold.
Arrange the carved characters in order and store them in wooden grids for easy access.
Looking at the densely packed small squares, Han Zeyu felt that he could hardly recognize the words. They were all mirrored, reverse-positive text patterns, which were both familiar and unfamiliar.
Han Zeyu took a deep breath. There were only about 3,000 commonly used Chinese characters. He would try harder and try to complete the character model as soon as possible.
After bringing in a stack of paper of uniform size, the exciting moment comes: printing officially begins.
First prepare a framed iron plate as a base, and cover it with a layer of medicine made of a mixture of wax, resin and paper ash.
Then, the movable type molds were taken out from the wooden grid one by one according to the order of the words in the book and arranged neatly on the iron plate.
After the iron plate is filled, it is heated to melt the medicine slightly, and then the surface is flattened with a flat wooden board. After the medicine cools down, it solidifies into shape.
?Brush the prepared plate with ink, then place paper on it and apply even pressure with a roller to transfer the ink to the paper.
After the printing was completed, Su Shien carefully checked the printed product. Although he could not hide his excitement, he still carefully checked whether the handwriting was clear and whether there were any errors or omissions. If there were any places that needed to be modified, he would need to re-layout and print them.
The article he wrote was printed. Although it was just a storybook, he felt very subtle and a little proud. Why was that?
Han Zeyu picked up a larger square carved seal.
Su Shien looked at Yuger's skillful hands and couldn't help but marvel at them. His fingers were sharper than blades. What a powerful technique. No matter how many times he watched it, it would still be incredible.
Han Zeyu put his hands on his hips proudly. Just over 3,000 commonly used characters were no problem at all.
Seeing her husband's face as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, Han Zeyu couldn't help but ask him what he was hiding.
After asking, she casually glanced at the other person's lower body, thinking that this shouldn't be the case, it's quite useful, could it be that her husband is a young man with hemorrhoids?
