Poor Lady

Chapter 40: textile machine

Gu Jinyun and Qi Surong finally found a village before the sun went down.

They lied to the villagers that they were husband and wife. During the journey, the carriage lost control and unfortunately fell into the river. They wanted to stay in the village for one night and return to the city tomorrow. They didn't know how far they were washed by the river, and some couldn't tell the direction. Fortunately, there are villagers who will guide the way. I will follow the villagers to take care of an ox cart tomorrow, and I should be able to return to the city smoothly.

The villagers were warm and down-to-earth, and arranged accommodation for them without saying a word. The hostess of the house they borrowed brought them a change of clothes. Gu Jinyun gave some silver taels, and the hostess smiled like a flower: "The people in the city are generous. At first glance, you are the children of a big family. You look good and you speak well."

"Thank you auntie." Qi Surong took the clothes and said thanks.

"No, no." The hostess waved her hands again and again, "This dress may be a little rough, I wonder if you are used to wearing it?"

Qi Surong smiled and said, "Auntie, don't treat us as dignitaries, we all grew up eating whole grains, how can there be so much attention?"

When the hostess heard this, she felt relieved, patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, these clothes are all new and no one has ever worn them. You rest first, and I'll cook some dishes for you."

"Thank you."

After sending off the hostess, Qi Surong gave Gu Jinyun a sideways look: "Don't be cold, you almost scare people."

Gu Jinyun pursed his lips and seemed to be adjusting his expression.

Qi Surong snickered and handed him the men's clothes: "Well, put it on quickly."

Saying that, he picked up his own set again.

Suddenly, she made a movement and touched her fingers on the clothes. The style of this dress is really simple, but the material is a little special. The texture is delicate, the hand feels soft, and the textile technology is different.

"What?" Gu Jinyun couldn't help asking when she saw her holding her clothes in a daze.

"Oh, it's alright." Qi Surong returned to her senses, raised her head inadvertently, and saw that Gu Jinyun had taken off his shirt and was naked. The sturdy muscles, full of strength, made Qi Surong blushed and heartbeat.

"Why, why did you change clothes in front of me?" she stammered.

"You didn't let me go." Gu Jinyun replied as a matter of course, showing off his strong figure recklessly, as if he had no intention of putting on clothes at all.

Qi Surong silently pointed to the small black room next to him, and motioned him to change there.

Gu Jinyun didn't seem to see it, and started to untie his belt with Qi Surong on his back.

"Wait!" Qi Surong quickly stopped, picked up his clothes and put a cover on him, then pushed his back to the small dark room.

Gu Jinyun followed her will and took two steps, suddenly stabilized the lower plate, and settled in place.

Qi Surong didn't notice, and bumped into his back.

"Hey." His forehead hit his spine, causing a burst of pain.

"Are you okay?" Gu Jinyun turned around and leaned over.

Qi Surong leaned back slightly, looking through his fingers, he could clearly see his eyelashes.

Gu Jinyun saw her stealthily looking at him, she was so cute, she couldn't help but feel agitated, her eyes gradually burning.

Feeling that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, Qi Surong took a few steps back, turned around and said, "Go and change your clothes, I have to change too. If you wear wet clothes for a long time, you will catch a cold."

"Okay." Gu Jinyun's voice sounded beside her ear, then she backed away and entered the small dark room.

Qi Surong clutched his chest and let out a secret sigh.

The hut next to this room is only separated by a curtain. Qi Surong reminded: "I didn't tell you, don't come out."

"Hmm." There was a soft answer.

Qi Surong raised her hand to pull up her hair, and took off her wet clothes neatly.

The whole body is red, the skin is white and fat, the shoulders are narrow and the buttocks are wide, the waist is not full in one grip, and the texture is delicate and the flesh is evenly distributed, and the posture is graceful.

When Qi Surong looked through the clothes, she found that the aunt did not prepare an apron for her, and her cheeks couldn't help but turn red. She was too embarrassed to bother others, so she had to wrap her underwear directly, with her chest erect, and through the collar, the breasts/ The ditch is looming.

At this moment, a pair of arms stretched out from behind, wrapping her in his arms.

The collar is wrinkled, open to the outside, the chest is half exposed, looking down from above, it is not a scenery.

Qi Surong quickly tightened his collar and said angrily, "Why did you come out! I, I..."

"I want to hug you." Gu Jinyun's fiery breath was planted around her neck.

"You..." Qi Surong's body trembled slightly. She once said to herself that no matter what this man wants, she will give it without any regrets. However, now is not a good time, can you bear it?

Gu Jinyun lowered his head and rubbed against Qi Surong's face, his warm palms pressed against her chest, and his fingers seemed to be swiping indistinctly.

"You, your heart is beating fast."

nonsense! Being held by a man who is in love/love, can you be unhappy?

Qi Surong froze and didn't dare to move.

Seeing that he didn't move, Gu Jinyun became more arrogant, and his fingers tended to explore inside the clothes.

As a masculine man in his twenties, with a sweetheart in his arms, is there any reason not to be chaotic?

Qi Surong took a deep breath, raised her foot and stepped on his instep hard.

Gu Jinyun took a pause, slowly released his hand, slowly backed away, and slowly sat on the bed with a solemn expression, staring at Qi Surong motionless.

Qi Surong glanced at him and said, "If it hurts, just snort, I won't laugh at you."

"Humph." Gu Jinyun snorted out of his nose.

Qi Surong turned her face away and tried her best to hold back her smile.

She didn't care so much, and quickly got dressed and belted. Put your hair down and comb it briefly with a comb.

Dressed in a simple folk house, she couldn't hide her beautiful face, but instead revealed a refined and refined temperament.

Gu Jinyun couldn't help wrapping her waist again, the slender waist made people fall in love.

When I was about to kiss, the hostess's voice came from outside: "You two, have you changed your clothes? The food is already hot, come out to eat?"

"Okay, I'll be here soon." Qi Surong pushed her away, turned and walked out.

A trace of regret flashed in Gu Jinyun's eyes.

At the dinner table, only Gu Jinyun and Qi Surong, the owner of this family have already eaten. One of them was doing woodwork at the door, and the other was sewing inside the house.

Qi Surong asked, "Auntie, did you spin all the fabrics on our bodies yourself?"

"How can it be?" The hostess laughed. "I don't have the craftsmanship. I bought all the fabrics from Qu Niang. Oh, Qu Niang is a widow who moved from another village. She has very good weaving skills."

More than good? Her ability to spin the burlap so finely is a testament to her skill.

Wait, Qu Niang? Seems to have heard of it somewhere.

Qi Surong was thoughtful.

"What?" Gu Jinyun asked.

Qi Surong's eyes lit up, showing a look of surprise, she first smiled at Gu Jinyun, and then asked the hostess: "Auntie, I also want to ask this Qu Niang to spin me a few pieces of cloth, can I ask you to introduce me tomorrow? For a moment?"

"What are you recommending?" The hostess kept laughing, "I'll just take you there. Qu Niang is a little cold, but she's very nice."

"Thank you, Auntie." Qi Surong was very happy.

Gu Jinyun glanced at her and wondered what plans she had?

After washing up in the evening, Gu Jinyun looked at Qi Surong who was making the bed and asked, "Do you know her?"

"Huh?" Qi Surong was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted. He asked Qu Niang, "I don't know, but I've heard people say it before."

"What did you say?"

"Tomorrow you will find out with me." Qi Surong threw herself on the bed and gave him a mysterious smile, "It's guaranteed to be a good thing."

Gu Jinyun's eyes fell on her little feet, gradually deepening.

He stood up, walked to the bed, and undressed slowly.

Qi Surong rolled over and sat up, secretly annoyed, by the way, the two of them are going to share the bed tonight.

In other words, why didn't they lie about brother and sister before, but lie about husband and wife?

Although she didn't mind Jin Yun's closeness, she hadn't been so close to a man for a long time, including the years before her rebirth.

Is it too late to regret it? Qi Surong looked at Gu Jinyun pitifully.

"Don't try to hide." Gu Jinyun tapped her forehead with her finger, and she fell on the quilt.

A smile flashed in Gu Jinyun's eyes.

He stepped onto the bed, lifted her off the quilt, and lay down wrapped in the quilt, taking her into his arms by the way.

"Don't worry, I won't ruin your innocence before I give you a name." Gu Jinyun whispered in her ear.

Hearing this, Qi Surong felt both at ease and a little regretful.

"However," Gu Jinyun changed his words, "Occasionally secretly incense, it's good."

Saying that, he kissed her lips and sucked/sucked.

The petite body was almost completely wrapped by him, and the two were close to each other, transferring their body temperature to each other.

The next day, Qi Surong woke up in a daze and found that his clothes were messy, his front was open, and there were vague red spots on his chest.

Her cheeks were hot, and she didn't know what the man was doing while she was sleeping.

She got up and quickly got dressed.

Gu Jinyun came in with water, stared at her like water, leaned over and kissed her face: "Morning."

"Morning." Qi Surong didn't dare to look at him. What's the matter with this atmosphere like a newlywed Yaner?

Don't be too sweet, you're about to be captured!

After breakfast, the hostess took the two to Qu Niang's house.

Walking into the yard, you can faintly hear the sound of the textile machine.

"Qu Niang." The hostess shouted inside.

The door of the house creaked open, and a woman in her early thirties walked out, with a delicate appearance and a thin body.

"Sister Huang, are you looking for me?" Qu Niang asked aloud, her eyes turning twice on Gu Jinyun and Qi Surong.

"That's right, these two want to ask you to help spin a few pieces of cloth." Sister Huang introduced, "This Young Master Gu, that is his wife."

Qu Niang said indifferently: "The two of you are nobles at first sight, why do you need to help the weaving of vulgar village women? Are they here to entertain people?"

Qi Surong smiled and said, "Niang Qu, we are sincerely here to ask for cloth, and we have no intention of entertaining."

Qu Niang looked at them for a while, then stepped aside and said, "Alright then, please come in and talk."

A few people entered the room, and Qi Surong looked at the textile machine in the room at a glance.

Sure enough, it's a pedal loom!

Today's most advanced spinning machine is the hand-cranked spinning wheel. Although the silk cloth spun by this spinning wheel is of good quality, its efficiency is too low and requires hands and feet to cooperate, which is very inconvenient.

If it is not operated properly, there will be a lot of errors.

But the pedal spinning machine is different. It uses the pedal to drive the spinning wheel, and the hands can carry out other processes, which is five times more efficient than the hand spinning wheel.

The current Qu Niang is the creator of the treadmill, and in the near future, her name will be widely known with the promotion of this type of loom.

This type of loom is also known as a "Troy's loom".

"Auntie, can we talk to Qu Niang alone?" Qi Surong said to Sister Huang.

"Of course, let's talk about it, I just have something to do at home." Sister Huang readily agreed, turned around and left.

Qu Niang poured them a glass of water and asked straight to the point, "What kind of cloth do you want to spin?"

Qi Surong replied, "Wool, linen, cotton, and silk all need to be spun."

Qu Niang frowned and said displeasedly, "You just said that you have no intention of entertaining."

"Of course." Qi Surong said seriously, "We want to cooperate with you to open a textile workshop."

"Start a textile workshop?" Qu Niang asked in confusion, "Why do you want to cooperate with me?"

"Because of it." Qi Surong pointed to her textile machine.

A strange color flashed in Qu Shi's eyes, and he asked, "What do you think is so special about it?"

"Using the pedal drive, the hands can be operated flexibly, and the textile efficiency is greatly improved."

The woman took a few glances when she entered the house, and could she see the difference in this textile machine?

Qu Niang looked at her in surprise.

Qi Surong asked again: "Qu Niang, are you willing to cooperate with us?"

"How are you going to cooperate?"

Qi Surong looked at Gu Jinyun.

Gu Jinyun has heard business opportunities from these simple conversations. A textile machine that can improve textile efficiency means that he can occupy the fabric market faster than others. The so-called food, clothing, housing and transportation, the people's demand for fabrics, will never be enough. Once efficiency increases, prices can adjust accordingly. Who doesn't like high-quality and inexpensive products?

Gu Jinyun said: "10% belongs to you, you are responsible for managing and maintaining all the textile machines."

Qu Niang was a little frightened by his lingering eyes, and asked hesitantly, "How big of a workshop do you plan to open?"

"First involved in Jiangbei, then the whole country."

Qu Niang did not expect him to have such courage.

Not to mention the whole country, the profits of the Jiangbei generation alone are incalculable, and he is willing to share 10% of her profits? He could just buy her loom and copy it.

She had never disclosed the news of this new type of textile machine to anyone before, because she was worried that it would be stolen. Now that someone is willing to cooperate with her and offers such generous conditions, she really can't think of a reason to refuse.

Just, are they credible people? The woman was gentle and amiable, but the man was really scary.

Qi Surong seemed to see through her scruples and said, "Qu Niang, you can think about it for a few days, and by the way, ask about the reputation of the Gu family, and then decide whether to cooperate with us."

With that said, she turned to look at Gu Jinyun, she knew exactly who he was. He is cold-hearted, upright and upright, and will never bully the weak.

Gu Jinyun looked back at her with soft eyes, and his originally stern face didn't look so scary anymore.

Qu Niang saw her trust in the man from Qi Surong's eyes. The two of them were hard and soft, cold and hot. It was a match made in heaven.

She had a decision in her heart, but it was necessary to postpone the reply for a few days.

After she made up her mind, she relaxed. Although she was not enthusiastic, she would take the initiative to chat a few words.

After leaving Qu's family, Qi Surong kept smiling.

"In a good mood?" Gu Jinyun asked.

"Well." Qi Surong said with a smile, "I didn't expect a blessing in disguise to find something good in this small village."

"She hasn't agreed to work with us yet."

"Do you think she will refuse?" Qi Surong turned around and walked backwards, looking at him with a smile.

Gu Jinyun arched his eyebrows, which was already his best gesture to show a smile.

After lunch, the two planned to hire an ox cart with the villagers, but Gu Jinyun's guard just happened to find the village.

"Miss!" Ping'er ran over with red and swollen eyes and hugged Qi Surong tightly.

Qi Surong patted her shoulder and comforted: "It's alright, it's alright, miss, I am blessed."

"My servant thought I would never see you again. If something happened to you, the servant would not be alive." Ping'er cried hard.

If someone else said this, she would laugh it off at most, but Ping'er was different. She said that if she wanted to die with her, she would definitely die with her.

This is Ping'er's loyalty, but also her stupidity.

Qi Surong touched her head, her heart was warm and sour.

"Master, we caught the groom." The guard whispered.

Gu Jinyun nodded gloomily, and said, "Go back and talk about it."
