The woman glanced at Pei Qingyan and said without saying anything. She just smiled and said, "Then let the eldest lady and this friend do what they want."

After the woman finished speaking, she went about her business.

Pei Qingyan was even more surprised.

There are not many red tapes here, and most of the people working here are women. He raised his eyes and looked at their hands, and found that the women were all holding pens and painting on the narrow-mouth bottle bit by bit. They were very good at painting. There are also some different kinds of scenery including flowers, birds, fish and insects, which are quite beautiful.

Pei Qingyan was surprised.

"Are you going to use these bottles to hold the wine outside?"

Song Anning nodded.

She was also a little distressed when she mentioned this matter.

"I originally thought that there would be no war in the north in the past two years, so I could take the opportunity to harvest more sorghum, but I didn't expect that this war is going to be fought at any time. I don't have much sorghum on hand at the moment, and the wine I can brew is only It’s enough to supply us in Qingzhou, but since it can only be supplied to ourselves, the threshold must be raised, so I thought about working hard on the packaging of this wine.”

She said, picking up a narrow-mouthed porcelain bottle from the table next to her.

"Look, this is a bottle that I specially sent people to purchase in the Jiangnan area. The craftsmanship of this bottle is very exquisite. This bottle alone cost me nearly one tael of silver. The body of this bottle is exquisite, and the flowers on it are all baked. The dyeing process is applied, but the cost of making such a bottle is too high. At present, I am not sure how people will accept this drink, so I dare not purchase too much."

"Fortunately, there are many talented women in Qingzhou, but they don't have advanced painting skills, but they can still paint ordinary flowers, birds, fish and insects, so I invited some people from poor family backgrounds but with good skills to come over and do the work. Painting some paintings on the pottery vase can also pretend to be the joy of idlers in the mountains, wouldn't it have a different flavor?"

Pei Qingyan nodded repeatedly.

I have to say that Song Anning is very good at doing business.

He has always been busy with court affairs and is not proficient in business matters. Anyway, in his opinion, Song Anning should be able to make money.

After Song Anning took him to see the painted bottles, he took him out to the wine cellar in the workshop.

I saw that the wine cellar was densely packed with wine in large jars.

You can smell the strong aroma of wine outside, but the smell is even deeper here.

Song Ning'an casually walked to a jar of wine, first tapped the jar with his fingers, and then said, "Let's drink from this jar tonight?"

"it is good."

Pei Qingyan volunteered and stepped forward to get the wine. The two of them left the wine cellar together. Without choosing a place, they asked someone to set up a table of wine and food in the yard and started drinking casually.

It was getting late at this time.

The two of them came out late, and they were delayed for a while while visiting again. At this moment, the moon was already rising, and the sky was getting dark.

Song Anning opened the wine seal, and she didn't know where the heroic spirit came from. She poured a large bowl for each of them, picked up the wine bowl and said: "Let's not stick to trivial matters today, just enjoy ourselves. Don't worry about the flood outside. Don't worry about it yet." Don’t live up to the beautiful scenery in front of you, come on, do it!”

Pei Qingyan also picked up the wine bowl and touched it with her, "Fuck it!"

The night wind picked up gently and picked up the fallen leaves in the courtyard.

Since it just rained yesterday, the courtyard was a little damp.

The sky was clear, the moon and stars were sparse, and the air was filled with the aroma of mellow wine, making everyone drunk.

Song Anning looked up at the sky and whispered: "Do you know? In fact, I never thought that I would have such a free day."

Pei Qingyan raised his eyebrows.

He looked at her. The woman's eyebrows were beautiful and her expression was full of longing. She whispered: "A long time ago, I thought I would be locked up in that small backyard forever, looking up at the sky above my head. , it’s just a square corner, like all women, living a life of numbness and ignorance.”

"But now, I have broken free from the shackles. Although I cannot conquer the world like you, Mr. Pei, I know that there are not only women in the world who are trapped in the backyard. I know that there are also women who work in the embroidery department, and women can do business. No worse than men, do you think there will be a day in the future when women can also study, become officials, and strive for glory for their families in the court?"

She raised her hand and pointed to the ethereal void.

Pei Qingyan followed her hand and pointed towards it, but only saw a blurry nebula.

He suddenly said: "Why for the family?"

Song Anning was stunned.

Pei Qingyan turned to look at her calmly.

"Men build a career to gain a future for themselves, and the same goes for women. Many of the women in our embroidery department are orphans and were brought up in the department when they were young. They did not work hard for their family. Everything they did was only for the justice in their hearts. In addition to morality, it is also for myself."

Song Anning was suddenly startled.

An idea flashed in my mind, and I felt like I had an enlightenment.

But then she became lonely again.

"It's a pity, I don't have that ability."

Pei Qingyan said: "You don't need to have those skills. There are 360 ​​professions in the world, and you can be the number one in each one. Look, don't you kill everyone in business and not lose to men? As long as it is what you want to do, you can do your best. No matter what industry you are in, as long as you do your best, no one will dare to talk about whether you are a man or a woman. The world is bustling with people, and they only come and go for profit. Whoever can bring them benefits will be regarded as their master. .”

In the latter sentence, Pei Qingyan actually went too far.

Song Anning's eyebrows suddenly moved.

There was a hot blood in the chest, as if it was ignited by a fire and was about to burn.

She raised the wine bowl, touched it with him, and said: "You are right, the world only recognizes success or failure, no matter if you are a heroine or a hero, come on, do it!"

"Dry!"

After drinking a bowl of wine, the strong alcohol burned my throat and made me feel a little sore, but I felt as if my Ren and Du meridians had been opened and I felt extremely relaxed.

Song Anning laughed.

"Master Pei, have I ever told you that I actually learned some martial arts when I was a child?"

Pei Qingyan raised his eyebrows.

"No."

He really didn't know she knew martial arts.

Song Anning was a little embarrassed.

Perhaps because of drinking, her cheeks were red, with a shyness and shyness that were rarely seen in normal times.

"When I was a child, I often fought with boys. My mother was afraid that I couldn't beat them, so she hired a martial arts master for me. Unfortunately, I couldn't bear the hardship. The martial arts master taught me for two years and then left. From then on, I I stopped studying, and as I got older and had to learn to host the wedding ceremony and do business, my martial arts gradually fell into disuse."

She remembered something and reminded, "Oh, Dongqing's martial arts was learned from me at that time, but she was more talented and couldn't do anything I learned. But she could learn all the moves made by the martial arts master, so later She was the one who protected me for a long time.”
