Chapter 662: Snowy Night Walk (3rd Update)
Handan City.
It was a snowy night, and the snowflakes were falling from the sky, bringing a very cold atmosphere to the whole land.
In the main hall, a stove is burning, wisps of warmth fill the hall, Zhao Dan is lying in the side hall, the expression on the whole face is quiet and peaceful, and he fell into a deep sleep.
Zhao Dan had a dream.
In the dream, he returned to Earth, to that era full of high technology.
Everything in that era was so familiar and strange to him, and he started his life in that era again, slowly growing up, slowly studying and working, and then slowly aging, and finally slowly closed his eyes in the company of his family, ending his life.
"No!" Zhao Dan suddenly opened his eyes, and sat up from the bed, his back completely wet with sweat at some point.
After taking a few heavy breaths, Zhao Dan came back to his senses and realized that what he was doing was actually just a dream.
Although it was just a dream, after this dream, Zhao Dan's heart suddenly lost any sleepiness, so he simply sat up, put on his clothes, and walked out of the main hall.
The guards of Zhao State at the gate of the main hall were taken aback when they saw Zhao Dan coming out, and they saluted Zhao Dan one after another.
Zhao Dan nodded, and suddenly on a whim, he walked directly down the stairs of His Highness.
As soon as Zhao Dan walked like this, the other palace guards did not dare to slack off, and immediately followed a large number of hulala, the palm lamp of the palm lamp, and the leader of the way in front.
Although it is winter, not every day is full of wind and snow, making it impossible to walk at all.
Tonight's snow is light snow.
The snowflakes fell from the sky in wisps, and fell very gently on people's bodies and faces, cool and itchy, as if the girl's fingers were gently caressing the face.
After walking for a while, Zhao Dan's shoulders and clothes were already unconsciously covered with snowflakes, and with a slight shake, these snowflakes continued to fall like many cotton wool.
It was a very accommodating snowy night walk.
For Zhao Dan, since the crossing, the two things of fighting for hegemony and governing the country have basically become the main theme of his life.
But this sudden dream suddenly pulled Zhao Dan back to the era before the crossing.
There were mobile phones, computers, cars and airplanes, and information and transportation were extremely developed.
Thinking of this, Zhao Dan's heart couldn't help but feel a little gloomy, and he sighed softly.
Although I don't know why I traveled to this era, I'm afraid I can't go back.
"Since I can't go back, I can only make my life more exciting......
Unconsciously, Zhao Dan's footsteps had come to a certain place in the palace.
At this time, it was already midnight, but Zhao Dan suddenly found that in a few dozen zhang in front of him, a palace that was not too big was still lit up, and it seemed that there were still people who were not asleep.
Zhao Dan's heart moved slightly, and he asked, "Which lady's palace is this?" ”
The chief of the palace guard of Zhao State, who was standing beside Zhao Dan, immediately replied: "Back to the king, this is the palace of Mrs. Xuan. ”
"Mrs. Lamb?" As soon as Zhao Dan heard this name, a pretty petite and gentle figure immediately appeared in his mind.
I have to say that this Mrs. Mi is actually different from other ladies in Zhao Dan's mind.
The reason why this is so is because this Mrs. Mi is the only lady that Zhao Dan is marrying through the form of marriage for the first time since she came to this world.
But it was also this lady from the Qin State who brought a lot of Qin State spies, and almost caused Zhao Dan's palace city to be infiltrated by Qin State spies, causing serious losses to Zhao Dan himself and Zhao State.
Zhao Dan stood in the snow, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Don't report it first, go in with the widow to have a look." ”
Under Zhao Dan's order, everyone naturally didn't dare to disobey, so the group slowly walked towards the palace of Mrs. Mi in front of them.
This palace of Mrs. Mi is actually not too high and wide, and it is not too gorgeous in the palace city of the entire Zhao State, mainly because Mrs. Mi was born in the Qin State, and the relationship between the Qin State and the Zhao State is not very good.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that the relationship between the current Zhao State and any country is not very good.
Thinking of this, Zhao Dan suddenly couldn't help but have a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Fighting for world domination is really a job that offends people.
At the entrance to the palace stood two maids-in-waiting, who yawned listlessly as they stood.
The footsteps of Zhao Dan's arrival alarmed these maids, and after the maids saw Zhao Dan's face clearly, they hurriedly knelt down towards Zhao Dan.
Zhao Dan waved his hand and said with a very gentle smile: "No need to be polite, Madame hasn't fallen asleep yet?" ”
The maids cautiously replied to Zhao Dan: "King, Madame should not have fallen asleep yet. ”
Obviously, these maids thought that Zhao Dan suddenly had sex in the middle of the night, so they wanted to find this young lady to vent their desires.
Zhao Dan nodded, and did not continue to say anything more to these maids, but walked straight into the palace in front of him.
Like the side hall of Longtai where Zhao Dan slept, in this palace exclusive to Mrs. Mi, there is also a small stove, which is also a necessary option for heating in Handan.
Behind the stove was a screen, and through the light of the stove, a shadow could be seen sitting behind the screen, as if it was busy with something.
Zhao Dan was curious, so he deliberately lightened his steps and quietly bypassed the screen.
Then he found out that his young lady Mi was embroidering.
The craft of embroidery has been spread in the land of China as early as the Xia Dynasty or even earlier, and related things have been recorded in the book "Shangshu".
Zhao Dan quietly walked behind Mrs. Mi and looked at the embroidery in Mrs. Mi's hand.
The embroidery of this lady looked obviously very good, a pair of skillful hands flew up and down, and then a pattern slowly took shape.
Zhao Dan looked at it and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
Because the pattern embroidered by this Mrs. Mi is nothing else, it is a very cute and cute baby boy.
Zhao Dan's laughter startled Mrs. Mi in front of her, and she subconsciously turned around and shouted, "Who is it?" ”
When Mrs. Mi suddenly found that it was Zhao Dan standing in front of her, the look of surprise on her face couldn't help but get stronger, and she was so frightened that she dropped the unfinished embroidery in her hand on the ground, and got up in a panic and saluted Zhao Dan.
"The king has arrived, and the concubine has missed the distance, and I ask the king to forgive the sin."
Zhao Dan smiled slightly, and said to Mrs. Mi in front of him: "The widow is also walking around the palace at will on a whim, and when he saw that Mrs. was here before resting, he came to take a look, which can't be blamed on Mrs. ”
As Zhao Dan spoke, he bent down and picked up the half of the unfinished embroidery that had been dropped on the ground by Mrs. Mi.
I have to say that this lady's handiwork is indeed very exquisite.
Although it is said that the queen and other ladies in the palace have also done some embroidery, Zhao Dan has really never seen such a skillful hand as Mrs. Li, who can make this kind of embroidery so lifelike, which makes people love it at a glance.
It is no exaggeration to say that if other people's embroidery is a daily necessity, then this Mrs. Mi's embroidery can already become a work of art.
The more Zhao Dan looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and he couldn't help nodding again and again, and said to Mrs. Mi in front of him: "I didn't expect Mrs. to be a skilled craftsman." ”
After Mrs. Mi heard Zhao Dan's praise, two blushes couldn't help but appear on her face, and she whispered to Zhao Dan: "The king praised it. ”
Zhao Dan looked at the embroidery of Mrs. Mi in front of him, his heart suddenly moved slightly, and he asked Mrs. Mi in front of him, "Does Mrs. know about the spinning wheel?" ”
Mrs. Mi was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and a blank look appeared on her face: "Spinning wheel? ”
Zhao Dan sighed in his heart, it seems that there is no spinning wheel in this era.
However, Zhao Dan did not give up, out of the psychology of a dead horse being a live horse doctor, he still briefly explained the principle and style of the spinning wheel.
Unexpectedly, after Mrs. Mi heard Zhao Dan describe the spinning wheel, her little face suddenly showed an expression of sudden realization: "What the king said, is it the weft car?" ”
After some explanation from Mrs. Mi, Zhao Dan finally understood.
It turns out that in this era, the spinning wheel was not called a spinning wheel, but a weft wheel.
Moreover, this spinning wheel is not like the pedal spinning wheel or hydraulic spinning wheel like later generations, but belongs to the simplest and most primitive hand-cranked RV, which is mainly used for spinning silk.
Zhao Dan thought for a while, and suddenly said to Mrs. Qi in front of him: "Madame can use this weft car?" ”
Mrs. Mi nodded and said softly: "Back to the king, the concubine does know how to use the weft car." ”
Speaking of which, when this Mrs. Mi was in the Qin State, because she was a captive, her family was actually very embarrassed.
It is precisely because of this that this lady has already learned various life skills at a young age, which has led to such an excellent embroidery handicraft, and at the same time is also familiar with skills such as spinning wheels.
When Zhao Dan heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at Mrs. Qi in front of him: "Can Mrs. use a weft wheel to spin wool?" ”
Mrs. Qi shook her head and said to Zhao Dan: "Back to the king, the concubine mainly uses the weft wheel to spin silk, but wool has never been spun. ”
Zhao Dan smiled, and suddenly said, "Since this is the case, then the widow wants to ask Mrs. for something." ”
Zhao Dan's solemn attitude obviously startled Mrs. Mi, and two flushes appeared on her little face again, and she said softly: "The king just orders." ”
Zhao Dan smiled at Mrs. Qi: "The widow will let the weft car and wool be sent tomorrow, if the lady can study how to use the weft car to spin the wool out, and can understand the doorway inside, then it will be a great achievement for the widow and Zhao Guo." ”
The reason why he handed over this task to Mrs. Mi was that Zhao Dan himself certainly had a little selfishness in it.
To be honest, wool textile is not a high-tech industry, and the principle is not too different from silk.
For a long time, there were enough sheep in the grasslands in the north of China, but there were no looms, while in the Central Plains, there were enough looms, but there were no wool.
It is precisely for this reason that wool weaving has not become the mainstream in Chinese history.
Zhao Dan wanted to try it through Mrs. Mi this time to see what kind of development or impact the wool textile industry would have on the current handicraft industry once it appeared.
If there is a benefit, then the first to get the benefit is naturally Zhao Dan, if there is any unforeseen situation, then it can also be regulated in time.
However, in Zhao Dan's mind, there should be more cases of benefits, after all, this kind of thing that promotes the development of productive forces, although it may cause some trouble in the short term, but it will definitely be beneficial in the long run.
"Alright, let's not talk about that." Zhao Dan put the embroidery aside, and smiled at Mrs. Qi in front of him: "The widow is also tired, so Mrs. will rest with the widow." ”
