Gong Yumingxi comforted his little girl: "We, mother and daughter, will work together to finish it and send it to you again. I wonder if they will be able to wear the new clothes you made by yourself a year ago."

Only then did Lingyu become happy.

Gong Yumingxi felt that among the children in front of him, the three above them all looked like gods. Only the little girl was a little popular.

Lingyu also knew that the third and fourth sisters never cared about what they wore. On the contrary, the second brother was particularly beautiful. He was very happy every time he put on new clothes, but his aesthetics was not considered within the scope. It was too unconventional!

My mother likes to be simple and elegant, which is very consistent with her aesthetics, so I took my mother to discuss the style of clothes for my father and eldest brother.

Gongyu Mingxi thought that his son might be Fusu, or that his husband might be the First Emperor. Anyway, it was very likely that one of the father and son came from the Qin Empire. The Qin Dynasty respected black, so Gongyu Mingxi suggested that black be the color.

The base color is embroidered with silver auspicious patterns. Unfortunately, I didn't buy any black satin material today.

Lingyu was a little annoyed.

Gongyu Mingxi comforted her: "Tomorrow your second brother will go directly to the county to send a letter and ask him to buy you two areas of black material and silver thread. You just have to finalize the design today."

Lingyu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll draw a set for my mother that matches my father's."

Gongyu Mingxi:...Can we not mention this? I feel very uneasy about being matched with your father.

"Well, we are not in a hurry. We will make two outfits for your father and your eldest brother first. Your third sister and I will sew them together, and you will be responsible for the embroidery. Send them over as soon as possible so that they can wear them as soon as possible."

The next day Brother Hou went to post a letter and bought back the embroidery thread and materials Lingyu asked for. Because he had to rush to make clothes, Lingsu even put aside the pharmaceutical business for the time being.

Qixun doesn't know how to sew, so he writes basic tutorials after morning classes, and after lunch he and Brother Monkey start making farm tools.

Brother Monkey made three meals into a round meal.

After working like this for ten days, we finished four sets of new clothes from the inside out for the father and son in Beijing.

The embroidery above is very simple, but full of nobility. Two sets of outer robes have leather inside, which is perfect for winter.

Qi Xun doesn’t know how to sew, but her aesthetics is on point and she is full of praise for these sets of clothes.

Brother Monkey was very jealous, but he didn't like black, but he had a soft spot for bright red. He said to Lingyu: "Didn't you tell me to make two sets of clothes for me? When will they be made? I want one with red background and gold embroidery.

Embroidery sample."

Lingyu pursed her lips and smiled. Most men would only look rustic if they wore red, but the second brother was different. He had extremely handsome features and a free and easy temperament. Only the flaming red in the world suited him best.

She showed Brother Hou the drawings she had designed together with Qixun: "Second brother, do you like it? If you like it, we can make it for you according to these two sets, what do you think?"

A long cotton robe with a bright red background. Only the hem, cuffs and collar are embroidered with simple auspicious cloud patterns with gold thread. The outside is a cloak with the same bright red background. The inner shirt is white rabbit fur, with white fox trim on the edge.

Leather, black cotton boots with gold patterns, and a very exquisite gold crown.

Brother Monkey imagined the effect of this suit of clothes on himself and couldn't help but be happy: "When will it be made? I'm not in a hurry. I'll just make it for the New Year and I'll make one for my mother first."

In fact, I was very anxious.

But you can't go beyond your mother.

Lingyu smiled and said, "It's fine if you like it, second brother. Mom said you are looking forward to the new clothes so much, so I'll make them for you first. Ours is not in a hurry, we will definitely make them a year or so ago. But for the gold crown, we need to go to the county town for jewelry."

It's custom-made in the shop. When you go to send clothes to dad and brother, you can order them by the way."

"Didn't I say that all the sisters should dress up nicely? I will also order a set of jewelry for you." I am also a rich man now.

After saying that, he whispered in Lingyu's ear: "Brother, the thousand taels of silver on me haven't been spent yet. Just tell me what you want."

Lingyu smiled and shook her head: "Last time, Mrs. Li gave me a few pieces of jewelry, as well as a few sets of apology gifts from the Li and Cui families, which are enough. Second brother, just order your own."

Brother Monkey then gave up.

I hurried to the county seat early the next morning.

Here in Qixun, the paper raw materials have been fermented and we can start making paper.

All the tools needed to make paper are ready, and we can start just waiting for Brother Monkey to come back.

But they definitely couldn't do it as siblings. Apart from other things, she couldn't do the papermaking job.

Qixun ran to Uncle Lu's house to find Uncle Lu.

Uncle Lu has already chosen a partner. The woman is from a neighboring village. Because her grandparents passed away one after another, she had to observe filial piety for two years, which delayed the marriage. She will not discuss marriage until she is eighteen years old. Men older than her basically have marriages.

He was younger than her and not very suitable, so the matchmaker told Uncle Lu.

The girl fell in love with Uncle Lu as soon as he saw her. Uncle Lu also felt that the girl had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a cheerful temperament, and she was very appetizing. He was satisfied with her both times. He found an auspicious day and got engaged. He was just waiting for the wedding in the spring of next year.

Qixun just ate Uncle Lu’s wedding candy a few days ago.

Because he is getting married after the new year, Uncle Lu has not gone to the mountains. He has been cleaning up the few rooms in his house recently. When Brother Monkey is at home, he will come over to help when he has free time.

"Uncle Lu, are you busy?"

When Qi Xun left, Uncle Lu was moving stones.

He plans to replace the earthen walls of his small courtyard with stone ones, which will be stronger. When he saves enough money, he will replace the main house with a large one made of blue bricks and tiles, so that his parents and his new wife can live in a good house.

When Uncle Lu heard Qixun calling him, he put down the stone in his hand and asked with a smile: "Xiao Xun, why are you here? There is something at home that you need my help with?"

"Well, don't I plan to make some paper? I'm young and can't do the papermaking work. Uncle Lu, are you free tomorrow? If so, can you come over and help me?"

The roof of the main house was replaced, the walls were re-paved, and the courtyard wall was slowly tidied up.

Uncle Lu nodded: "Yes, but, Xiaoxun, I am an outsider in this papermaking..."

It is best not for outsiders to get involved in matters involving skills. If the technology spreads, it will not be a joke.

There are so many people in the Yan family, who can’t come over to help?

Because their families are close neighbors, their relationship is extremely close, but after all, his surname is not Yan.

Uncle Lu was afraid that Qixun was young and didn't understand the truth here, so he warned him.

Qixun waved his hand: "It's okay. I was just about to talk to Uncle Lu about this. You have been hunting in the mountains and it's very hard. You might as well do something else to make a living. The paper I tried to make is just straw paper and cannot be used for writing.

Yes, it’s just for daily use, but selling it after making it is a good business. It’s fine in the countryside, but in towns and counties, who doesn’t buy some toilet paper? Wait until Uncle Lu learns how to make toilet paper.

In the end, it’s better to make straw paper and sell it. But our family came up with this technology. How about you give us a 30% profit and consider it a cooperation between the two of us?”

"Just papyrus?"

If it was just papyrus, he could take over the business.

But if it involves writing paper, even if Qixun says so, Uncle Lu will not agree.

This is not just a matter for the Qixun family. After all, the Yan family has a clan.
