I Made a Fortune by Marrying a Sick Girl!

Chapter 133 Closeness

The days that followed were peaceful and lively.

Patriarch Qin and others knew that Qin Mingsong had participated in the provincial examination, and would come over to talk to old man Qin every now and then. Therefore, the most talked about topic at home was this year's provincial examination.

At this time, Mr. Liu was the quietest.

No matter how noisy the old woman is, she will not dare to act arrogantly in front of the clan leader.

During this time, Qin Chi was at home.

Erlang and Sanlang just had a vacation, so they asked Qin Chila to go to the backyard to learn how to make Hui ink.

It’s been a year since the ash last rested.

One year the smoke has gone away.

In the basin holding the ash, add the same amount of beef glue.

Use a stick to stir and glue, then add gold powder, cinnabar, borneol, pearl powder and musk, and continue stirring.

The last step is the crucial step of inking.

By repeatedly tapping the ink stick, the glue will not solidify and further blend with the smoke until the surface of the ink stick is shiny and has no obvious particles.

This is simple to describe, but the process is hard work.

Especially for inking, you need to beat it at least ten thousand times.

The two brothers took turns swinging the hammer to hit the ink.

All day long, banging sounds were heard in the backyard.

The brothers were sweating profusely from beating and even their clothes were soaked. Qin Chi didn't say yes, so they kept beating and couldn't stop.

It doesn’t matter if my hands are sore or hurt from the beating.

Qin Chi reminded: "When the hammer falls, the hammer should be flat, and be careful to hit it flat!"

This time, he mainly taught his two cousins ​​​​so that even if they failed to study, they would still have a craft.

Therefore, Qin Chi relied on his mouth to guide the whole process of making Hui ink, and the one who got started was either Erlang or Sanlang.

The brothers wrote ink from early in the morning until dusk.

It's late at night again.

Qin Chi heard that it was too noisy. He went over to check the ink **** and saw that the surface was shiny. "That's it. Let's weigh it again, one or two."

Erlang is here to do this.

Saburo was yawning.

Children get sleepy early, but they can't sleep yet because they haven't finished their work.

The two brothers cooperated.

One is for weighing, and the other is for rolling strips.

Then put it into a wooden rectangular mold to shape.

After squeezing to solidify the ink, and then taking it out from the mold, you have the prototype of the ink strip.

Next take out a wooden box.

Sprinkle a layer of plant ash on the bottom of the box, then lay a piece of rice paper, lay the newly formed ink strips flat in the box, then cover it with a piece of rice paper, and sprinkle plant ash on top.

This is done to absorb the moisture of the half moon.

"After half a month, you two take them out, tie them up one by one with thin hemp rope, and hang them to dry for another half a year. When the ink strips are completely dry, you can then apply gold and wax."

Qin Chi explained every step of the process of making Hui ink in detail.

The night is bright and clear, and there is an endless sound of insects outside the house.

Several tung oil lamps were lit in the thatched hut.

The person stood under the dim yellow tung oil lamp, and the dim light outlined his outline softly and mysteriously.

The eyebrows are like distant mountains lying horizontally, and the eyes are like autumn water containing stars.

The handsome face seems to have traces of the tranquility of time.

The green shirt stretches with the body, the skirt is lightly gathered, and the cuffs reveal the slightest hint of ink fragrance. In this mysterious and quiet night, it shows a transcendent and refined aura.

Song Jin holds a lamp in his hand. A soft glow illuminates the ground.

She came here specifically to look for Qin Chi. She was moving forward with some hesitation, but she accidentally saw the man standing in the swaying lights, like the moon in a fairyland in a painting. The simple thatched house could not hide his light at all.

Unconsciously, the steps stopped.

I'm hesitating whether to move forward...

Qin Chi suddenly turned to look at Song Jin.

The woman appeared here holding a lamp. She was obviously worried about him in the dead of night. She suddenly felt a warm current surge in her heart. Her shallow and affectionate eyes fell on the woman's beautiful face, which was amazing and touching.

Song Jin lightly lifted the lotus steps and walked to Qin Chi.

"My husband didn't come back to the house all night. I was thinking about it, so I came out to have a look." The gentle tone revealed concern for Qin Chi.

The moment Song Jin's red lips parted, as if she was being bewitched by something, Qin Chi slowly stretched out his hand to touch her cheek, gently feeling the smooth skin, and a trace of unspeakable joy quietly surged in his heart. .

Ambiguity circulated between the two.

Even though there were two brothers in the thatched house, they did not disturb the world that belonged to the couple.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

"Brother is so bad. He touched my sister-in-law's face with his dirty hands and painted her face into a little cat."

The crisp boy's smiling words shattered the ambiguity between the two of them in a shocking way.

Qin Chi slowly turned around and glanced at Sanlang with a smile on his face, "Come here!"

Sanlang quickly slipped over, raised his little head and asked excitedly: "What did eldest brother ask me to do?"

"To show you the consequences of mocking us."

Qin Chi smeared the black soot in his hand onto Sanlang's face, causing Sanlang to wail repeatedly.

Now he has become a little cat.

Then Qin Chi went to the wooden barrel next to him and washed his hands clean, "Sanlang, Erlang, take a rest early when you're done. Your sister-in-law has come to find you, and it's hard for my eldest brother to accompany you anymore."

Why is there a hint of showoff in that tone?

The two brothers didn't hear it, but Qin Yi in the dark did.

Song Jin was in a daze.

It cannot be denied that she was bewitched just now and her mind wandered a little, but Saburo's voice brought her back to reality.

Qin Chi came to Song Jin in a few steps.

He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and carefully wiped Song Jin's face. His hand was indeed stained with black soot just now, but it was only a little bit on her cheek.

Wipe it carefully and it will be clean quickly.

Then he put the handkerchief away.

The two of them walked back to the house side by side.

Time quickly came to the third day of August when the results of the rural examination were released. The Qin family's medicinal field harvest was sold for more than twenty taels of silver, and medicinal seedlings had been replanted, waiting for another harvest next year.

At the same time, the relationship between Qin Chi and Song Jin unknowingly became much closer. The parties involved took it for granted, but the onlookers turned into lemonade.

"The short-lived ghost...why isn't he dead yet..."

Song Xiu peeked out of the crack in the door and saw Qin Chi and Song Jin talking in the yard, "My husband will soon be the master of civil affairs, and you, Song Jin, are beyond your reach, huh..."

Song Xiu was excited again when he thought that the news about Qin Mingsong's passing would come back.

Today she put on a new dress and her favorite headdress, just to welcome her upcoming moment of glory.

The day of feeling proud is coming!

Suddenly, Qin Chi glanced sideways at the fourth room, his cold eyes frightening Song Xiu to shrink instinctively.

There were many people sitting in the Qin family's courtyard today.

In addition to the Qin family, there are also more than a dozen elders such as village chief Chen and the clan chief, as well as aunts and uncles, who are also sitting in the yard eating melon seeds and chatting about the problems of the east and west families.

Qin Mingsong passed the imperial examination.

Qin Chi received the news yesterday that he actually won fifth place, ranking very high.

But the good news is coming from the Yamen today, so everyone gathers in the yard to wait.
