Chapter 153 Going to the Other Courtyard
Chapter 153 Going to the Other Courtyard
Because Xiao Siyue and Xiao Sizhe went directly to the front hall after printing the books, the printing molds were left on the table without being put away.
Xiao Siyu saw it as soon as he went in.
I quickly ran over to look, and there on the table was the template of the Three Character Classic from before.
Xiao Siyu glanced at it and saw that it was indeed movable. The individual characters were placed into the card slot according to the content order to form a complete piece of content.
After entering, Xiao Qinian's gaze fell on a box on the ground, which was full of small cubes.
Xiao Qinian picked one up, looked at it, and saw that it had the character '教' written on it, but the character was reversed.
I looked at the others, and each one had different characters on it.
Xiao Qinian picked up a character and tried to put it into the card slot; it stuck firmly.
Xiao Siyu couldn't wait to pick up a piece of paper and start doing it herself.
"Yue'er, your printing method is very useful, much better than the previous method," Xiao Qinian said with admiration after seeing that Xiao Siyu had already printed one.
In recent years, Xiao Siyue has brought out all sorts of things that benefit the country and its people, and now she is able to remain calm about them.
They were still a little excited; having Yue'er in their family was truly a blessing from God.
No, it should be said that the fact that their Great Zhou had Yue'er was a blessing from heaven.
After seeing movable type printing, the group slept soundly through the night, filled with excitement.
The next day, which happened to be a day off, Xiao Siyue decided to take the group to visit the villa.
After breakfast, Xiao Siyue said, "Dad, since you're free today, let me take you to see the other courtyard."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qinian became somewhat interested. He knew about this villa; it was bought by Xiao Siyue before, but he had never had the chance to visit it. He didn't know what his daughter wanted to do with the villa.
Because his daughter is very independent and can earn her own money, Xiao Qinian generally doesn't interfere in these matters, nor does he specifically investigate them.
He believed in his daughter and that she wouldn't do anything wrong.
Xiao Qinian immediately accepted Xiao Siyue's invitation.
"Alright, today Dad will go and see what Yue'er intends to do with this courtyard?"
"Mother, you should go too. You haven't been out for a long time," Xiao Siyue said, taking Lin Qin's hand.
Her mother is becoming more and more like a county magistrate's wife. She rarely leaves the house, except when she's having a gathering with the ladies of Qianyuan County.
Although they were only going out to visit the paper mill, they could still go out and have some fun.
Lin Qin couldn't refuse Xiao Siyue's request, so she agreed.
The group boarded the carriage and headed to the other courtyard.
The villa was located in the western part of the county, where the population was sparse. The villa he bought originally belonged to a wealthy merchant, but the merchant moved to another place, and Xiao Siyue bought the villa instead.
Then, I bought some more people. These people were all carefully selected by myself, and they all had some skills.
Xiao Siyue arranged for people to be placed here so that she could experiment with any new ideas she had first. Once the technology was mature, she would then have them teach others.
It can also be described as a training base.
After the group entered the courtyard, the others were able to see them clearly.
After entering through the main gate, there is a row of houses. Passing through the central porch, there is a very large courtyard behind it, where about ten people are working.
Upon seeing Xiao Siyue enter, one of the men, who was about forty years old, stepped forward and clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "Miss, you've come."
"Uncle Feng, I already told you, there's no need to be so polite, just call me Yue'er." Xiao Siyue said helplessly.
"It's Uncle Feng's fault, Yue'er, don't be angry," Feng Qing said with a doting smile.
Xiao Siyue grinned and said, "That's more like it."
Then he introduced them to Feng Qing: "Uncle Feng, let me introduce you. These are my parents, and these are my second brother and my eldest brother."
"Father, Mother, Brother, this is Uncle Feng, named Feng Qing, who is in charge of the villa."
"This humble servant greets the master, madam, and young master," Feng Qing said, bowing to them.
Xiao Qinian quickly reached out to help him up, but seeing his daughter's attitude towards this man, he couldn't let him bow to him.
"No need to be so polite. You seem to be a few years older than me. You can just call me Qinian."
Feng Qing didn't actually call Xiao Qinian by his name, nor did he bow again. He simply smiled politely at the group and exchanged a few pleasantries.
Xiao Qinian looked at Feng Qing and felt that he was a good person. When he saw them, he did not try to flatter them, nor did he ignore them. He just treated them like ordinary people.
However, he could tell that Feng Qing was indeed extremely respectful to his daughter. He even noticed that Feng Qing would unconsciously show a fatherly demeanor when facing his daughter.
This set off alarm bells for Xiao Qinian. Was this person trying to take his daughter away from him?
Although he thought that way, he didn't do anything; he just listened quietly to his daughter and the man talking.
After catching up with Feng Qing for a while, Xiao Siyue asked, "Uncle Feng, how did it go? Is it finished now?"
"Yue'er, it's finished. I'll take you to see it."
Feng Qing led Xiao Siyue to the back room, with Xiao Qinian and the others following closely behind.
The room they entered contained only a few large tables and nothing else.
There were stacks of papers on the table, which made the men's hearts flutter.
"Yue'er, these are the Xuan paper we've made during this period. The ones that were previously discarded have all been remixed into the pulp."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Uncle Feng. Once I finish building the workshop, you can take a break."
This was something Xiao Siyue had thought about before. Once the experiment here was successful, she would build a workshop to produce paper and print books.
"Yue'er, you're too kind. As you know, I'm very interested in these things. Doing them is much more enjoyable than being idle all day," Feng Qing said with a shake of his head and a smile.
Xiao Siyue chuckled: "Hehe, Uncle Feng is really something. Don't worry, there will be many more things for you to do in the future."
"That's wonderful! Don't worry, Yue'er, I'll definitely do my best." Feng Qing's eyes lit up when he heard this; he really enjoyed researching these things.
"Yes, of course I trust Uncle Feng."
Xiao Siyue trusted Feng Qing so much because she knew that Feng Qing was a very simple person who was only interested in research. If he were in modern times, he would definitely be a scientist. He could apply what she gave him to other situations and would always give her great surprises.
In addition, Feng Qing had always treated her like his own daughter and was very good to her, so Xiao Siyue was willing to repay him.
Feng Qing was all alone, and Xiao Siyue thought that she would take care of him when he got old.
