Chapter 122 Big Brother Carpentry
The next day, at dawn, Han Ziran opened his eyes and thought of something. He turned around and saw that Xiao Zhen had already gotten up and came out.
The sun was shining brightly, but it was already slightly hot early in the morning. Spring was already halfway through, and there was a little less coolness.
Xiao Zhen was hanging clothes in the yard. When he saw Han Ziran coming out, he said, "Hurry up and freshen up. Aunt Han has already cooked breakfast, and dad's oxcart is about to arrive."
Han Ziran nodded: "Do you get up so early every day?"
"Yes, there are a lot of things to do." Xiao Zhen said, continuing to hang the Han family's clothes.
The Han family's breakfast is very simple, consisting of steamed buns and pickles, as well as some dried salted fish left over from the Chinese New Year.
When Han Ziran was finishing breakfast, he happened to hear the ringing of Father Xiao's oxcart bell.
Regarding the appointment of her youngest son, Mother Han could not help but give her another warning. Xiao Zhen also said some words to Father Xiao and watched them leave. Just as she was about to enter the house, Mother Han stopped her.
Seeing Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhang, who were all watching, Mother Han said to them, "You go in first, Xiao Zhen and I have something to talk about."
When everyone went in, Mother Han looked at Xiao Zhen, her face not very good: "Last night, you and Ziran, you two..."
"No. There are two quilts on the bed. We each sleep on our own." Xiao Zhen knew what Mother Han was going to ask.
"Each one sleeps alone?"
Xiao Zhen nodded and smiled faintly: "On the day of the wedding, didn't Aunt Han say that we can't become a real couple until Ziran is 20 years old? Since I agreed, I will naturally abide by it."
Mother Han's face improved a little.
"You are Ziran's mother, and I don't want you to feel too uncomfortable because of me." After Xiao Zhen finished speaking, he went in.
Knowing that the two of them did not have a wedding, Mother Han was relieved, but when she heard what Xiao Zhen said, she became thoughtful again.
Since the Han family's housework was divided, there wasn't much that Xiao Zhen could do. After cutting the grass and taking care of the livestock, she almost rested the rest of the time. She had a lot of time to be herself.
thing.
After drawing the final carriage, Xiao Zhen showed the drawing to Father Han: "Dad, who is the best at carpentry in our county? I will make a carriage like this."
Father Han looked at the picture for a while, then his eyes widened and he said, "Is this a carriage? It looks really big."
"If this carriage can be made well, it should be able to hold thirteen or four people." Xiao Zhen said.
Father Han nodded: "If we want to know who has the best carpentry here, it should be Lao Wan from Hutou Village."
"Third brother and sister, if you want to find a carpenter, you can find someone else, but Lao Wan shouldn't go looking for him." After hearing this, the eldest brother of the Han family, who was going to work in the fields with farm tools, said coldly.
"Why?" Xiao Zhen asked curiously. Seeing the anger on the face of the eldest brother of the Han family, he suddenly felt strange. Hutou Village is at least twenty miles away from Tangxia Village. With such a long distance, is it possible that the Han family and
Is Lao Wan still in trouble?
Father Han sighed and said: "When your eldest brother was eight years old, he followed Lao Wan to do carpentry and studied for more than ten years. It turned out that Zi Lei's craftsmanship was favored by the most prestigious Lu Gong class in the capital. It happened that Lu Gong was at that time
Ban was ordered by the emperor to build a palace. If he built it well, he might be able to receive a commendation from the emperor, but I didn't expect that Lao Wan had replaced his son with Zi Lei."
The second brother of the Han family, who was chopping firewood from the woodshed, snorted coldly: "The eldest brother has always treated this master as a filial father, but I didn't expect that he would do such a thing. My mother was so angry that she was very sick at the time.
Come tomorrow."
"This kind of person is really shameful." Xiao Zhen said angrily.
"That's right." The second brother of the Han family was also full of anger.
The stern-faced eldest brother of the Han family glanced at Xiao Zhen and was a little surprised when he saw that the anger on the faces of the three younger siblings was not fake. He didn't expect that the third younger brother and sister would turn towards him like this.
"So in the end, did the son of that family receive any commendation from the emperor?" Xiao Zhen asked.
"That's not true, but I stayed in the Lu family class from now on. I heard that there was an endless stream of guests, so all the old Wan family moved to the capital." Father Han sighed, only blaming his eldest son for not enjoying the blessings.
life.
Xiao Zhen rolled his eyes and suddenly said: "Brother, since you have learned carpentry and have been appreciated by the Lu family class, your craftsmanship is definitely not a problem." After saying that, Xiao Zhen handed the picture in his hand to the eldest brother of the Han family.
He held it in his hand and said with a smile: "My sister-in-law's carriage depends entirely on you, and the wages will be paid by outsiders."
"Me?" The eldest brother of the Han family was stunned, then looked at the carriage in the painting in his hand, his eyes brightened.
At this time, Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Han all came out of the kitchen. Naturally, they heard the conversation they had just had in the courtyard.
Mrs. Liu looked at her husband excitedly. Her husband had been learning carpentry from Master Wan since he was eight years old. His skills were no worse than Master Wan's. But because of this incident, he was so angry that he threw away all the carpentry tools and only went to the fields from then on.
Work.
"Does the third brother and sister want me to make this carriage?" The eldest brother of the Han family asked doubtfully.
Xiao Zhen nodded: "Since the eldest brother has such skills, it is natural to help the younger brothers and sisters. Besides, the eldest brother is a member of the family and will do his best. I can't worry about it."
"But I haven't touched him in two or three years." Looking at Xiao Zhen's smiling face, Han Zilei felt indescribably complicated.
"Brother has been studying for more than ten years, and he already knows the craftsmanship well. You should be able to become proficient at it. Brother, you also know that I am devoted to the bullock cart business, so please help me." Xiao Zhen said sincerely.
said.
"Brother Lei?" Mrs. Liu walked up to Han Zilei and said softly: "You have always liked this job, and now the three younger siblings need help, so of course we have to help." If Brother Lei can be helped because of this matter
It would be great if I could pick up carpentry again.
There was something strange in Mother Han's cold eyes. Almost all the furniture in the house was made by her eldest son. His craftsmanship was beyond words, but that incident became a knot in his heart. In the past three years,
, she originally thought that Zi Lei would never pick up this craft again, but when he saw some drawings Xiao Zhen gave him, his eyes shone, and Mother Han felt that in fact, in her eldest son's heart, he had always been
I have never given up on carpentry.
"Brother, I'll buy you carpentry tools." Han Zineng said.
When Mrs. Zhang on the side heard what her husband said, she felt angry again. A set of carpentry tools cost a few taels of silver at least. Who would pay for it? She didn't want to.
"Brother," Xiao Zhen also said, "For Ziran's sake, you have to help me anyway."
The eldest brother of the Han family was still hesitating. Mother Han walked up to him, took the drawing in Han Zineng's hand, looked at it, and said, "Such a beautiful carriage, it would look even better if it came from my son, right?"
Han Zineng was stunned: "Mother?"
