Chapter 350: A Curious Little Handicraft Master
"I understand even if you don't say it. I'm not stupid."
Jiang Han snorted coquettishly.
"The first bird to stick its head out gets shot, is that what you mean?"
"Almost. Mainly because the timing is not right yet."
"So now, is our time?"
"Maybe."
Although the elder sister did not say it explicitly, the younger sister had her own brain and could think, so her voice became much lower.
"Sister, are you trying to use the current social situation to find a way out for us women?"
“How clever!”
Jiang Wan tapped her forehead lightly in praise, with a smile on his face and ambition in his eyes.
"But whether it can be accomplished depends on whether the women of today are willing to fight hard for those who come after them."
Jiang Han's eyes lit up instantly.
"I do!"
"I do."
Jiang Wan turned his head to look at her, smiling very gently.
She was just an ordinary woman, the only thing that was extraordinary about her was the soul within her, a soul from a different world thousands of years in the future. It was a soul that had enjoyed freedom, unfettered by the shackles of the old scholars' pedantic theories of the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues, which dictated male superiority and female inferiority.
In fact, Jiang Wan has been thinking over the years that maybe her time travel was just a coincidence when time and space overlapped, or maybe there were other reasons that she didn't know.
But she always felt that she should do something.
After all, as the old saying goes, we are already here.
The bolder a person is, the more productive he will be. The queen, who has become more and more knowledgeable as she grows older, raised her hand and pointed at the fancy little vase on the table, smiling happily.
"Second brother, your craftsmanship is a bit subpar. Whether the workmanship is rough or not is another matter, but the main thing is, isn't the color a bit too bright?"
"You can't blame me for this, you don't know how hard it is to burn this thing!
The people under me are really divided into groups to guard the stove. They can't even keep an eye on the fire. They can't make anything useful at all.
Well, it’s good enough that it’s like this now, sister, just bear with it and don’t be too picky, okay?
"I understand your difficulty. Is it because the melting point of charcoal cannot be reached?"
"What does fur dot mean?"
“That’s the temperature at which it melts.”
"What is temperature?"
“It refers to the physical quantity that measures how hot or cold an object is.”
"Then what is a thing..."
"stop!"
Jiang Wan quickly waved her hand to stop. How could she forget her sister's habit of asking questions when she was so happy?
"Anyway, the current situation is that you can't produce large, regular things for the time being, is that what you mean?"
"hold head high."
"Then can you handle these fancy colors?"
Jiang Han glanced at the glittering but ugly little bottle and nodded with difficulty.
"I'll try my best, but after all, this is just something I've just figured out, so I can't guarantee I can make it exactly the same again."
“It doesn’t have to be exactly the same, unique is best!”
Jiang Wan was extremely happy.
"If you can't make a bottle, forget it. Try making some delicate jewelry or paperweights. Didn't you like tinkering with these things when you were little?
If we can make something colorless, like crystal, that's even better, but if we can't make something colored, that's fine too. But the craftsmanship must be as exquisite as possible, following the techniques of the Imperial Household Department.
I'll send you a few more skilled craftsmen who specialize in jewelry making. You must make a batch of these as quickly as possible. I need them urgently!"
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Nonsense, the New Year is coming soon, so why shouldn't those noble ladies from the imperial court come into the palace?"
Jiang Han suddenly understood.
"Oh, you want to make some money from those noble ladies? Sister, you are really smart, you won't let go of even the smallest thing."
"Can you talk? I'm good at sharing the good things in the world with others. What are you talking about? Are you asking for a beating?"
"No! I'm honest now, please let me go."
Dacongming admitted his mistake very smoothly.
After the Queen had frightened the honest man into becoming even more obedient in a very stylish way, she turned her head to look out the window, sighed, and muttered a few words.
"I don't know when Wang Bao and the others will report back with good news. What if there are no coal mines in this area? I can't be so unlucky, right? Someone so unlucky should have some common sense when writing a book. He should have been to elementary school, right? It would be best if he knew something about geological processes..."
Jiang Wan was now trying to find some joy in misery, and even had the crazy idea of trying to find some scientific residue in a sadistic novel.
"Sister, are you still complaining about your beauty that has nowhere to go?"
Jiang Han acted naughty and made her sister laugh.
"I was just muttering about your unparalleled charm."
"Sister, you've changed. You actually teased me in front of me?"
"Then I'm cricketing behind your back?"
"Sister~~~~"
The cute girl twisted herself around the beautiful woman's arm like a piece of candy, so sweet and sticky that it could melt anyone's heart.
"Alright, alright, sit down quickly. You're already a grown-up girl, yet you're still acting like a spoiled brat all day long? No wonder our parents are so worried every day, afraid that you'll have a hard time after you get married."
"Don't worry, I promise I'll be fine!"
Jiang Han raised his little face, his spirits high.
"I believe this."
Jiang Wan has a filter of an elder sister who is like a mother to Jiang Han. Looking at the child she raised, she thinks everything about her is good.
"I can't guarantee the future, but for now, Li Jingxiu is truly sincere towards you. Think about how dangerous it was when the horse was startled. He's a prince after all, and he's willing to risk his life for you. That's already a rare gift, right?"
"I know, otherwise I wouldn't agree to get engaged to him.
If I think about it carefully, he is actually a pretty good person. Although he is not the kind of talented person with profound knowledge and eloquent speech that I like, at least he is sincere to me.
That sinister Ji Yunzhi is calm, but his calmness makes me sick!
I really suspect that my horse was frightened at the time, and that he had plotted against me again. Otherwise, how could he have appeared there so coincidentally?
Jiang Han thought about what happened two months ago and was so angry that he complained to his sister.
"You don't know how sick his brain is. No, he should be the kind of pervert you mentioned!
He clearly hates our family so much, yet he still wants to target me.
The look in his eyes gave me goosebumps when he kept looking at my face. Later, after thinking about it carefully, I realized that he was using me as a substitute to study you!
"Sister, you must remember to tell your brother-in-law not to reuse Ji Yunzhi. He is definitely not a good person!"
"I know. Just worry about yourself first. I'll take care of the rest."
Thinking about the so-called male supporting role who was just as disgusting as the male lead, the smile on Jiang Wan's lips turned slightly cold.
If it were a few years ago, she would have grabbed her knife and chopped the hidden danger without a second thought. But people always have to grow up, and if she did the work so crudely now, wouldn't it be a shame for all the years of hard work and instruction from the adults?
