Chapter 17 The Mojia Rectangle
Although Huantian made Xiaobai dying of ecstasy, his experiences at the Yun family these days were dazzled by his eyes. The thing called paper in the thatched cottage is something that Huantian had never seen before. This slightly yellow thing is very soft and comfortable, which is the best news for his hot butt. Huantian has seen the making of this kind of thing with his own eyes, and the big bundle of bamboo was soaked in water. It was obvious that it had been soaked for a long time.
Cang Xiong beat the green shell of the bamboo hard, leaving only the soft part. Then he placed it in lime water and kept steaming until it was out of the pot after a few days. Yun Xiao looked at the steamed things and shook his head. So the things were taken into the pond to rinse. Then they were put into the lime water and steamed, and turned it out many times until Yun Xiao nodded.
The things were pounded into a paste in the stone mortar. After the mashed raw materials were mixed with appropriate amount of water, some catkin-like things were suspended in the water, just like egg flower soup I had drunk in the morning. Pour these things into a square trough, then filter them in the pulp with a thin bamboo curtain, and the catkin-like things were left on the bamboo curtain to form a layer of jing film. Yun Xiao said that this was pulp. Huantian looked at these things curiously, and a strong curiosity made him want to continue watching.
The bamboo curtain that has been sucked over the pulp is poured on the board, then remove the bamboo curtain, and the layer of Jing paper film falls on the board. Slowly stack layers of paper sheets, and then squeeze them with heavy objects to discharge the moisture in the Jing paper sheet. The paper film also slowly forms as the heavy objects squeeze, forming square paper sheets.
Two mulberry brick walls sandwiched into alleys, and large bundles of firewood were lit. Use bronze tweezers to carefully paste the paper one by one on the brick wall. The hot air coming from inside will dry the paper for a while, and the large stacks of paper will be made.
Huantian watched the whole process, and Yun Xiao did not shy away at all. You must know that if this magical skill was spread, this person would become a rich man almost instantly. He had seen many people and things over the years, and Huantian had this knowledge. However, Yun Xiao generously let Huantian watch without any concealment.
The longer Huantian stayed at Yun’s house, the more magical she felt. A person who was not strong actually pulled the wooden box that defeated the big hammer and plowed deep ditches in the ground, turning the fat soil in the ground to the surface. The Yun family couldn’t help but Huantian, and Huantian even saw Haitang several times. This woman who used to have a cold face now smiles every day. Her face, which was already extremely beautiful, emits a halo of happiness.
Huantian asked Haitang while there was no one, and the answer she got was that she wanted to stay here, and she also said that his ugly husband was very nice to her and she would not leave.
In fact, Huantian didn't want to leave. He was very nostalgic about everything here, except Xiaobai. During this month in the Yun family, there was no quarrel, insult and killing, nor was there a strict level. The head and slaves ate on a large long table, and the delicious stuffed dough can also be eaten at will.
The farmers often come to deliver things to the marquis, and usually send their children to their families. A little wild fruit on the mountain and some wild game caught by hunting. The children will always get the gift from the head of the family, sometimes steaming steaming buns, and even the head of the family will have to pay to catch a chicken in the village.
This is unimaginable in other fiefs. The common people in the fief are slaves of the lord, and even their lives can be disposed of by others at will. Not to mention taking your chickens or stealing your daughter, there is absolutely no problem.
The marquis here would go to the fields to work in person, and when he came back, there were often some sweaty marks on his clothes, which was enough to prove that he was not going to play.
In short, everyone here is smiling. If Huantian might really want to stay here for the rest of his life, he will never leave. But he is from the Momen Sect, and the person who took him away finally came.
Four people walked up the dirt road in Zhuangzi. In front of them were big hammers, Yu Lao, Zi Feng, and behind them were a thin high-skinned man in leather boots and clothes. His sallow face was sparsely grown with beards. His long hair was tied into a bun behind his head, and a very ordinary wooden hairpin was inserted diagonally on it.
Followed by ten strong men with the same leather boots and clothes, all holding a long sword in their hands. They looked at their slender waists and their backs and their hands were thick, and they knew they were all good at using swords.
The four of them came to the gate of the Yun family. The old man Yu stepped forward and slapped the gate. A male servant walked out and looked at the four people strangely. The head of the family had no friends and no one was visiting them. This was the first time he received this post. Although he didn't know how to read, he was sure that a big man came.
"Report to Hou Yun, Momen Juzi came to visit Hou Yun."
The concierge ran to the back house, and at this time the marquis was usually taking a nap.
Yun Xiao was very dissatisfied with someone disturbing his nap, but what he heard was that Momen Juzi had to get up and could not afford to offend him. That was the gang leader who passed down from the Spring and Autumn Period. He really killed one person ten steps and did not stay for a thousand miles.
He personally brought the Cang brothers to welcome him. Yun Xiao was a leisurely marquis. He was just the sixth rank and there was no ceremonial guard to use.
After letting the people from Momen into the front hall, Yun Xiao personally burned a benzene in a pottery incense burner. He took out the wild camellia that he had collected a few days ago, and a small stove with dry chopping wood was brought up. A beautiful maid walked in with a wooden tray and a delicate tea set.
The people in the Momen were in a state of turmoil, and Zi Feng stood upside down and took a step forward. He was stared back by the stern look of Momen Juzi. After Haitang brought the tea set, he did not leave, but stood behind Yun Xiao.
Yun Xiao looked serious and cleaned his hands piously.
Boil the water, and rinse the small silver tweezers with the pottery cup and rinse it elegantly among the boiling water. Dig a spoonful of tea leaves into the small pot. Pour the boiling water into the pot, let the water and the tea leaves come in appropriate contact, and then pour it out quickly.
Pour boiling water into the pot again. During the pouring of water, the spout "nodded" three times. Then, the tea water was poured into the tea cup the size of a wine cup. Yun Xiao reached out and signaled that he only said one word "please"
The whole process was very solemn and dignified, as if a pious religious ceremony was being held. The Mohist master learned from Yun Xiao and pinched the tea cup with three fingers. He put the tea cup under his nose to sniff the tea fragrance, and then drank the fragrant tea in three mouthfuls.
In order to please my father-in-law, I barely learned a tea ceremony course for several hours. Now it finally came in handy. The tea ceremony is not about skills, but about momentum. I boil water without expression, rinse it and then make tea and drink tea. It is definitely not possible to deal with my father-in-law, and I am still very wealthy when dealing with these local old hats more than two thousand years ago.
When you drink the tea soup created by Lu Yu, your buddy is more than two thousand years ahead of you. You should be content. You should know that the tea soup at that time not only had to be added with green onions, ginger and garlic, but some guys even had to be added with something as scary as mutton oil. Yun Xiao insisted that it was a manifestation of lack of oil and water in his stomach.
The Mo family also solemnly put down the tea cup, but there were only three cups per person. After drinking it, Yun Xiao continued to wash the tea and then ordered Haitang to take the tea cup down.
"Yunhou's tea art is really unique. This tea soup is sweet and aftertaste, and it is truly an unparalleled product. If it weren't for something, I would like to bother Yunhou two more cups.
Huantian is a guest at the mansion, and the brothers in the sect miss it very much. This time I came here to pick Huantian up. I don’t know what Yunhou means…”
"Juzi sat down for a while and asked someone to invite Mr. Huantian. I guess he would arrive in a while. Mr. Huantian felt a little uncomfortable a few days ago and rested at the Yun family for two days. The Yun family did not restrict Mr. Huantian's freedom. Juzi can ask anyone in the Yun family village."
As soon as Yun Xiao finished speaking, Huantian walked in. In the hearts of the Momen, Huantian could not say what she was tortured. As a result, Huantian's face turned rosy and seemed to have gained weight.
When Huantian saw the Mo family Juzi, he was stunned at first and then stepped forward to salute.
"Please look at Juzi. It's not difficult for Mr. Huantian to make things difficult for Mr. Huantian. Is Mr. Huantian free to enter and exit in the Yun family? Juzi will tell you if Mr. Huantian."
The Mo family Juzi looked at Huantian with confusion, and Huantian bowed and replied, "When Hui Juzi said, Mr. Yun was very kind to Huantian, and did not stop Huantian's actions. Huantian refused to return and asked Juzi to punish him."
The Mo family Juzi waved his hand to signal Huantian to get up, and his face was a little cloudy and sunny. Huantian has been a cold and arrogant person since childhood, so why does it look a little different today?
"Mr. Yun, I want to meet Haitang."
"No problem, Canghu, Haitang comes here."
Canghu lowered his head and said, and as soon as he was about to go out, Haitang walked in front of him. He lowered his head and knelt in front of the Mo family Juzi.
The Mohist master looked at Haitang.
"Haitang, do you have any grievances to tell your uncle that no one in the world can give you anger."
After saying that, he glanced at Yun Xiao with his eyes.
"If you know how to be good, Haitang will be naughty. For the long sword left by his father, it will almost harm people's lives. Now the faces of the harm are completely destroyed, and Haitang should serve him for the rest of his life. The people here treat Haitang very well, and my husband treats me very well. Haitang stayed here voluntarily."
The Mo family's master was strapping a few beards and was surprised.
Haitang and Huantian have only been in the Yun family for more than a month. Why did such a big change?
"If Juzi is interested, you can also stay in the Yun family for a while."
The samurai behind the Mo family Juzi changed his expressions, and he was impatient and had already put his hands on the hilt of the sword. The Mo family master reached out to stop the warriors from drawing the sword, turned to Yun Xiao and said, "If you invite Yun Hou, you will naturally bother Yun Hou for two days."
Let me say something off topic, today's one is even more. Thank you for the rewards, and also for the friends who voted for recommendations. In the evening, the Dragon King Mountain Village will be updated simultaneously at Tang Brick Bar and Hanxiong Bar.
