C46 (2/2)

Xiao Da Yong was naturally moved, a mature cow selling for 15 taels of silver was too cheap, but Gou Sheng already had a cow, he already had two at home, why did he buy another one himself? However, since his wife wanted him, it was cheap. Since his family also had money, he might as well buy it.

Xiao Da Yong nodded and Xu Hui smiled as she gave a silver note to Old carpenter. Old carpenter looked at it and muttered a few words.

Xu Hui did not let Xiao Da Yong and the rest pull the carriage away immediately. Instead, she pulled Old carpenter to the side and whispered to him.

Hearing that, Old carpenter could not help but stare: ”You want to give me the loom's blueprints?” Last time, the Dazong's daughter-in-law introduced her family to him and asked him to make a carriage for her. Taking into account the cost, he earned about 10 taels of silver, which was comparable to the money he earned when making dowry for a rich family.

It was a pity that there were not many people here who knew how to weave and that the drawing belonged to someone else. He could do it himself, but he could not sell it without the permission of the owner.

Now that the Dazong's daughter-in-law wanted to give this blueprint to him, did that mean he would be allowed to sell it as loom in the future?

Xu Hui was about to laugh at Old carpenter's surprised expression. Ancient craftsmen were simple. If it was in the modern era, not to mention doing it, they would have already made a modified version.

She was planning to leave the Xiao Jia Village, but she still had plans for the future. There was still that loom, and given how big it was, pulling it over to the Kepin would definitely be unrealistic, but if it was the Xiao family, it would probably attract the attention of those people. Xu Hui needed to find a place to rest at first, and then, in the future, she would drag the loom to the Kepin.

Xu Hui smiled and said: ”Take this blueprint, in the future if there are people looking for other people to make it for the loom, you just need to make it for them. Da Yong and I might want to go to the Kepin, after that I will ask Da Yong to send my loom over to you, and tell you that there is a bad place to fix it. If the Xiao family asks, remember to tell them like this, it's useless to let them know whether or not to repair it. And then there's the cow and the car, and I have to keep them with you for the time being, you know, and I can't take them back at the moment. ”

”Alright, leave these with me. When you need them, come and pull them. I will definitely defend the loom for you. When you come back for it.” Old carpenter was very clear about the Xiao family's situation. Ever since the first time he was called over by Da Yong to cultivate loom for his family, he had interacted with Dazong's daughter-in-law many times. After knowing what kind of person Xu Hui was, he could not bear the actions of the Xiao family's people anymore.

His unfilial son had lost his family business and ran away after gambling with someone. His daughter-in-law had also been taken away by his parents, leaving him and his grandson to depend on each other for survival. However, although he could make money, he was a man after all, and an old man. How could he take care of a child? He could only randomly cook things to prevent himself from starving.

This year, her grandson's cotton clothes were even made by her. It was also because of this that Old carpenter was willing to help Xu Hui hide her real income, buy a large carriage, and take care of the loom.

Xu Hui valued the craftsmen's wares of the Old carpenter. The Old carpenter thanked Xu Hui for her kind care, and the two of them quickly settled the matter.

Xiao Da Yong and Gou Sheng had already brought the cow out and put it back when Xu Hui told them to leave. Xu Hui walked over and said with a smile, ”Don't worry, we will leave the car and the cow at grandpa Yang's place. If we drag them back now, the house will probably be in chaos if we find out.”

Xiao Da Yong thought about his family's situation, and did not say anything before following Xu Hui's instructions. He first left the cow and the cart in Old carpenter's house. Gou Sheng looked at Xiao Da Yong and then at Xu Hui, and could only scratch his head in shock.

After leaving Old carpenter's house, Xiao Da Yong asked what Xu Hui had told Old carpenter.

Xu Hui smiled and said, ”Since Master Yang is taking care of us, I don't have anything good to return, so I gave him a set of loom blueprints. This way, if anyone wants to customize a loom, he can earn some money.”

”It's hard for you to think this through. It's not easy for Lord Yang, we shouldn't have taken advantage of him.”

With much difficulty, Gou Sheng stuck his mouth out. ”Sister-in-law, I will ask mother to give you the money to buy the oxen and carts. If it's not enough, I will pay you back later on.”

”Brother Gou Sheng, there's no rush, we still have to prepare other things!”

”What is it?” Not only Gou Sheng, even Xiao Dazong could not help but ask.

Xu Hui looked at Gou Sheng and Xiao Da Yong helplessly: ”You are both men who have fought in battles before, and this place is so far from the Kepin. It's not like we have to walk for five or six days, we have to prepare something to eat and drink.

”Sister-in-law is right, what do we need to prepare?”

”First of all, it's your luggage, so you have to get two big boxes to put them all in, so that there's room for cleaning up. Then you have to get a charcoal stove, so that we can have some hot water to boil on the way, and you can buy a sheepskin jacket that won't freeze when you're driving. There's still a lot of it, I'll think about it when I get back, and I'll make a list to buy it in town!”

”Sister-in-law, you're thinking too carefully. Why didn't I think of that?”

”You're a man, of course you wouldn't consider everything so thoroughly. Aunty probably won't be able to prepare these in time after leaving. Alright, let's hurry up and go back. You should also have a good rest!”

Gou Sheng agreed readily. Xiao Da Yong looked at Xu Hui. His weak and delicate wife seemed to be much more capable than he had thought.
