Chapter 111 Listening to the Rain
Yun Xi returned to her courtyard before it rained, sat down on the couch by the window, brewed a pot of tea, and drank tea while enjoying the changes in the weather. She watched the sky get darker and darker, and the clouds slowly gathered. The wind started to blow, and raindrops fell drop by drop, wetting the ground. The rain fell faster and faster, and finally the raindrops formed a line.
Listening to the sound of rain falling on the ground, on the eaves, in the water tank, and on the leaves, Yun Xi felt her mind clear. She seemed to be able to see the flow of air, and she became one with the whole world.
At this moment, Yun Xi felt a sense of peace, a peace that came from herself and from the world itself.
The system clearly sensed Yun Xi's changes and said with emotion: "The barrier between the host and this world has disappeared."
Yun Xi smiled, "I have good adaptability, and now I have your help, I feel at ease, so I will naturally integrate better."
After meditating for a while, Yun Xi turned around and asked Chun Mei, who was sewing beside her, "Did you bring your rain gear, sir?"
Chunmei smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Madam. We have rain gear at home and at the office where the master is on duty. When it rains, the master will come back in a carriage."
"That's good. It's raining so hard, it's not pleasant to get wet."
Qiu Ye smiled and said, "Madam cares so much about Master, I must tell him when he comes back."
Yun Xi teased, "Go ahead and say it. It would be best if you could praise me like a flower and make you think that I am so good that there is no talent like me in the world."
The three of them were chatting and laughing, and Yun Xi was able to distract herself and continue chatting with the system.
“Are there rubber trees in this world?”
"Yes. But just like your original world, it was not originally on this continent. It is not on the land where the host is."
Yun Xi's mouth twitched. He didn't even mention the country, but directly said the land. It seemed that it was really far away.
"My current geographical location is roughly equivalent to the Central Plains of my original world? I think the terrain and climate seem to be similar."
"Host, although this is a parallel world, the Earth is still the same Earth. Although the names of some places are different, the essence is the same. Moreover, some places even have the same names. The current capital is called Luoyi, which is Luoyang. What the host said is absolutely correct. It's just that the dynasties and countries that rule each region are different, but the natural environment is the same."
"The rubber tree is still in South America?"
"Correct."
"Then there is rubber grass in Xinjiang, right?"
"Yes. It has not yet been discovered and used."
"You have rubber tree seeds, don't you?"
"Have."
"What is the Fujian region called now?"
"Jianzhou Road."
"I remember that rubber can be planted there. Why don't you go there and spread some rubber seeds there? I remember that rubber seeds have no dormancy period and can be planted at any time. You can plant them first, and we will find them when we have the chance. By then, we can use rubber to make soles, rubber boots, raincoats, and tires."
"it is good!"
The system agreed very readily. Yun Xi didn't know how he operated it, but judging from his reaction, this was just a trivial matter for him.
Yun Xi was bored and went to Chunmei and Qiuye who were doing needlework, wondering whether she should do something.
Chunmei suggested: "If Madam is bored, why not make a purse for the master?"
Yun Xi smiled and said, "Let me make one first to see the effect."
The two maids enthusiastically helped her choose the material, color and pattern. After everything was selected, Yun Xi picked an embroidery frame, stretched the material on it and started to embroider.
The system told her: "The embroidery level in this world is not good either."
"Maybe people don't like this. I don't see much embroidery on Mu Sheng's clothes. They are all simple styles, with patterns on the material itself at most."
"Now is the period of embroidery discontinuity. Embroidery was still good before, but there was an emperor who advocated frugality to the extreme and issued an 'embroidery ban', so the embroidery skill declined. Now there are signs of revival."
Yun Xi was surprised and said, "Isn't this just like Cao Cao and Sima Yan? They also issued a decree to ban embroidery and reject extravagance."
"more or less."
"In fact, people can only be extravagant when the economy is developing well. Once these flashy things are no longer popular, it may mean that the economic situation is worrying."
"That's right. Now that the war is over and peace has come, the economy has begun to recover, and embroidery has also begun to revive. Host, you can go into the consciousness space to study when you have nothing to do. Learn skills from the embroidery master, and then you can bring the embroidery level of this world to a high level!"
Yun Xi sighed, "Although I came earlier than you, it was only more than ten days earlier. All in all, I have only been in this world for half a month! It's okay to fantasize about it, but if you want me to make it happen, I have to do it one thing at a time."
"I know. Let's talk about it first. I'll write down all the ideas that come up during our discussion and implement them one by one when the time comes."
Yun Xi: "..."
"Back off, stop chatting, I'll start embroidering first."
What are we talking about? If we talk more, there will be a lot more things to talk about.
Yunxi chose the Riding Cloud Embroidery, which uses colorful embroidery threads such as vermilion, crimson, golden yellow, khaki, purple, and navy blue to embroider auspicious clouds flying all over the sky, with birds flying in the clouds and auspicious grass and flowers growing on branches and leaves. Riding Cloud Embroidery symbolizes "Phoenix Riding the Clouds", implying auspiciousness, peace in the world, and a happy life.
