Chapter 248 Give it a try
After a few days at Guanghua Garden, Song Jingyun and Jiang Mixia gradually became familiar with the place and got to know several other students who were also going to Beijing to take the imperial examinations.
Explore knowledge, ask teachers for advice, search for books and seek knowledge...
Song Jingyun has been very busy these days.
When he was busy, he had no time to stay in Yard No. 8 to accompany Jiang Mixia.
Jiang Mixia was not the kind of person who only cared about sticking to her husband and was terrified of the new environment, so she took advantage of this break to go out for a walk.
Buy some daily necessities, take a look at the specialties of the capital, and think about what to bring back for your family when you go back home.
In addition, Jiang Mixia also paid close attention to see if there was any business to be done in the capital.
Song Jingyun is very talented in studying. Even if he cannot take the top spot this time, it is almost certain that he will be on the list.
If he were to stay in the capital, it would not be easy to settle down there given the salary of an ordinary official.
Everything depends on assets and management!
With this idea in mind, Jiang Mixia wandered around the capital for several days.
The capital city is the administrative power and economic center of the entire country. It has a large area, a large population, and a complete range of businesses. Whether it is what Jiang Mixia can think of or not, it has it all.
Moreover, the wisdom and craftsmanship of the ancients far exceeded Jiang Mixia's imagination.
Take the bamboo weaving skills that the Jiang family is good at, for example. The bamboo weaving objects here are more exquisitely crafted, and can even reach the level of painting with bamboo weaving.
Bamboo strips are soaked in dyes and woven into paintings that are extremely delicate and pleasing to the eye.
Whether used as a screen or as a bamboo curtain, it is both beautiful and exquisite.
Jiang Mixia thought it was quite beautiful, so she simply bought a few smaller bamboo paintings and took them back to show Song Jingyun, "They look good, right?"
"Yes." Song Jingyun nodded repeatedly, "The bamboo strips are thin enough, the workmanship is fine enough, and the dyed bamboo strips can be woven into paintings. This is not something that can be achieved overnight."
Song Jingyun sighed for a long time, then tilted his head and said, "If this skill can be used on the bamboo fans we weave at home, it will be even more beautiful."
"Indeed." Jiang Mixia agreed, but then smiled and said, "You just said that it takes time to weave these dyed bamboo strips into paintings. It would be even more difficult to weave them into fans. I think we should think about this matter in the long run."
"I will write a letter back in the next few days to tell my parents about this matter, and then try to find a master with such skills in the capital to see if we can combine the two."
If this is possible, the bamboo weaving business at home will surely be able to reach a higher level.
Jiang Mixia was thinking about business matters, but Song Jingyun was carefully examining one of the bamboo paintings. After a while, he said, "It doesn't seem to be that troublesome."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Mixia asked when her thoughts were interrupted by Song Jingyun.
"I think bamboo weaving doesn't seem to be that difficult. I think I should be able to try it." Song Jingyun said, eager to try. "Tomorrow I will go to the street to buy some bamboo and bamboo strips tools. Madam, you can also help buy some dyes, and we will give it a try."
Jiang Mixia, "..."
Song Jingyun's parents taught her the bamboo weaving craft, but she took it to the next level, especially the extremely light bamboo fan, which was made by Song Jingyun.
