At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner
Chapter 79 Cloth Business
She had to send her grandparents back to Beijing early in the morning. Outside the city of Nanling County, Old Madam Lin and her three cousins were reluctant to let Yu Yunxin go. Sitting in the carriage, Old Madam Lin watched Yu Yunxin disappear from sight before silently lowering the curtain.
"Mother, Xin'er will return to Beijing sooner or later, and then we will see each other every day in the capital." Cheng said.
"This child has become wild and spoiled in Nanling County. I don't know if he can adapt after returning to Beijing." said Old Lady Lin.
"Don't worry, we can just ask a few retired female officials in the palace to teach her. Our Xin'er is very smart and will learn it quickly." Bai Yan comforted the old lady.
The old lady nodded with satisfaction and said, "Look, you have given me five grandchildren, none of them are girls. Xin'er is the only girl among my grandchildren. She is so young and has no mother to take care of her. We in the general's mansion must love her more."
"Don't worry, old lady! Xin'er is the apple of all our eyes." Upon hearing this, Cheng immediately showed a loving expression and smiled.
The other carriage was filled with three cousins who were also very excited. Leng Shuang and Li Wan were knitting something. It was all their work. They participated in shearing wool and spinning. They knitted sweaters to relieve boredom along the way. They took several carts of good things with them, including duck down quilts, which are essential for winter, plush toys, etc.
Leng Shuang is also planning to buy land outside Beijing to build a ranch for raising sheep and rabbits, so that she can shear more wool and rabbit hair for spinning and weaving.
Lin Qian was helping the two sisters-in-law make a few bowls of ice jelly to help them cool down.
When Yu Yunxin returned to Kangzhuang Town, she first went to Pingsu and Huajin to watch them spin wool and rabbit hair yarn and fabrics. Now the spinning and weaving machines have been improved a lot, and the fabrics are very smooth and elastic, and can be worn either inside or outside.
"That's great! Is there anyone in Huajin who can crochet sweaters? Please help me make a few." Yu Yunxin said as she looked at the wool and rabbit wool yarns.
"Princess, who are you going to give it to?" Ping Su asked.
"Of course it's the emperor and the empress!" If you want the new fabric to gain a foothold in the capital, you naturally have to find the right person to be the spokesperson." Yu Yunxin said.
"What does spokesperson mean?" Ping Su asked curiously.
“It’s the person who can help us sell well if he wears it.” Yu Yunxin explained with a smile.
"Oh, by the way, Madam Nan also made several kinds of lace that the princess mentioned. Princess, let me bring them over for you to see." Hua Jin said as she walked into the storeroom and took out several kinds of lace and breathable fabrics and said, "Princess, these can be used to make hems of clothes, and some can also be used to make summer outerwear."
Yu Yunxin touched the lace and looked at it. These laces were all delicately woven, and the silk threads used were all of high quality, softer and more delicate than modern nylon fabrics.
She nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, good material, the hollow pattern is also beautiful, please make me a few more samples, and I will draw the design for you."
"The princess is so amazing that she can even design clothing styles!" Hua Jin couldn't help but admire the princess.
"If you feel there's something wrong, you can make some minor changes." After saying this, Yu Yunxin sat down at the workbench and started drawing.
Looking at the wool, rabbit fur, and lace in front of her, she drew ten sets of clothes for each season, which took her more than an hour. After handing the finished drawings to Hua Jin, she left.
Hua Jin took the drawing and looked at it. She was very shocked. This princess is too amazing! It would take them several days to come up with a design. The princess spent only one hour to come up with forty sets of clothing styles, and the drawings were simple and exquisite. This is too amazing!
It is almost the busy farming season. The blacksmith shops in Kangzhuang Town are very busy making sickles. The villagers in Shangyang County are very happy this year because they don’t have to pay grain taxes and can have two harvests. Naturally, they need to prepare more new sickles.
There was a long queue at the Mixue Tea Shop. Many people just wanted to have a bowl of ice jelly. Some people even brought their own bowls. There was nothing they could do as there were too many people. The shop assistants did not have time to wash the dishes!
Nowadays, there are more and more businesses in Kangzhuang Town. Some businessmen have even bought a residential plot on the opposite hill and built houses on the opposite side.
"Sister Princess Xin!" Yu Yunxin turned around and saw Mu Zhongye's son Mu Yihe walking towards her.
"I didn't expect it to be Princess Xin! I came to Kangzhuang Town to see you, but I didn't expect to run into Princess Xin."
"Mu Yihe, what are you doing here?" Yu Yunxin asked curiously.
"I came to this town just to look for Sister Princess Xin!" Mu Yihe blinked innocently and cutely.
"Let's go to Yihe. This princess will take you to Kangzhuang town to eat delicious food." Yu Yunxin said.
So Yu Yunxin and Qiu Shuang brought Mu Yihe to the restaurant and first ordered a dish of ice jelly to cool down.
It was Mu Yihe’s first time to taste ice jelly and he was very happy. He even ate two bowls.
"Thank you, Sister Princess Xin. This is the first time I've eaten this ice jelly. If I go to Mixue Teahouse, I'll have to queue for an hour!" Yihe said after eating two bowls of ice jelly.
"Are you looking for me for jade carving?" Yu Yunxin didn't expect that the child liked jade carving so much.
Mu Yihe nodded: "Sister Princess Xin, can you let me help you carve a few pieces of jade?"
"Of course you can. After lunch, go to the warehouse with Qiu Shuang to pick out some raw materials and carve whatever you like." Yu Yunxin said as she asked Mu Yihe to order her favorite dishes.
It can be seen that the dishes chosen by this child are also relatively affordable. Yu Yunxin exclaimed: "How come you are so good at choosing dishes?"
"That's it!" Mu Yihe replied.
The dishes were served quickly. Watching him eat, he observed each dish before eating. It seems that this child likes to appreciate things. No wonder he can make such exquisite miniature carvings.
"Sister, I just ate two bowls of ice jelly and now I'm a little full. Can we go do some jade carving?" Mu Yihe said as he stood up.
Yu Yunxin nodded and asked Qiu Shuang to take him to the warehouse to find some raw materials, while she came to the swamp alone to look at the land. Now she had people plant some water chestnuts and water chestnuts in the swamp. These were also the seeds she asked Yang Yunsheng to bring from Sucheng. She didn't plan to harvest this year, and the other half was planted with lotus. Now the lotus flowers are still blooming, but not many.
This place still needs to be renovated. Wouldn't it be better if there were pavilions and towers? So she looked around a few times before deciding what to do. It could be a high-end club. This place is not far from Kangzhuang Town, and many businesses have settled in Jiashan.
By building a few cruise ships, you can enjoy the lotus flowers while experiencing the fun of picking water chestnuts and water caltrops.
After thinking of the rough outline, she went to the experimental field in Shangyang County to find Lord Li, and watched Lord Li carefully recording in the rice field under the scorching sun.
"Lord Li." Yu Yunxin shouted.
Lord Li looked up and saw that it was Yu Yunxin with a veil. He waved happily when he saw her.
"Princess, what do you think of this year's new rice?" asked Lord Li.
Yu Yunxin took a closer look and felt the weather and said, "Not bad, we can keep the second crop of rice this year."
"Okay, I will also ask officials from other places to give me the records. The rice harvest will be around the corner in the next few days." Lord Li looked at the drooping rice ears and climbed up from the rice field.
“Let’s go and see what the villagers in other villages are growing.”
Yu Yunxin and Lord Li first came to Cuizhu Village and looked at the rice planted by the villagers, which was growing vigorously.
"That's right! When we were planting rice, Lord Yu basically arranged for villagers from different villages to learn it, so that Shangyang and Wangshan counties could have a good harvest." Lord Li said while looking at the rice in the rice fields.
"What about other places?" Yu Yunxin asked.
"Same here. Governor Yang arranged for the village heads from other counties to come and see my experimental fields." Lord Li replied.
Yu Yunxin was happy for the people of Nanling County when she heard that Governor Yang had finally stopped giving up and was doing some practical work.
After the autumn harvest began, the whole countryside was full of vitality. In order to save manpower, Lord Li invented a simple stone mill for pounding rice. People only had to throw the rice ears into it. It was easy to operate and did not require much effort. He also asked the stonemasons to build it in advance.
The villagers in Shangyang County and Wangshan County knew that this was invented by the Minister of Agriculture. Each village had one, and each household in the village contributed money, and each household could take turns using it.
Rice fields have been left everywhere this year, even in several northern states, as everyone wants to have another good harvest.
The emperor in the palace was very happy to see the tax revenue reported by various states, "This Princess Xingguo is really a lucky star for our Dacheng Kingdom!"
The queen was very happy when she heard this and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Princess Xingguo is also going to be married soon. Why not wait until the second rice crop comes and bring her back?"
"That's right! I have this idea. I also want to reinstate Yu Tinghai. These useless things in the Ministry of Justice are in a mess after Yu Tinghai left. It gives me a headache too." Emperor Cheng said while rubbing his temple.
Seeing this, the Queen wanted to go over and help Emperor Cheng to press it, but Emperor Cheng stopped her and said, "Queen, it's not necessary. I will rest well in the Imperial Study today. You don't have to serve me."
The Queen brought some ice jelly sent by Eunuch Zhang today for the Emperor to eat. Since Eunuch Zhang entered the Imperial Kitchen, whenever there was new food, he would send it to her first, so Emperor Cheng would basically go to her palace these days.
After the empress left, the servant Hu Man handed over some ice jelly. Emperor Cheng took a bite and asked, "Is this ice jelly also from Princess Xingguo?"
"Your Majesty, yes. I went to Nanling County last year and saw the princess making it for us. Eunuch Zhang liked it very much and asked the princess to learn it." Hu Man replied.
After listening to this, the emperor nodded and stood up. He came to the outside of Concubine Li's palace and took a look. Concubine Li was pounding medicine in the corridor in plain clothes.
He couldn't help but walk in. Seeing that Concubine Li had remained the same after all these years reminded him of what happened in the past.
"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Concubine Li asked coldly.
What's wrong with this woman? Why is she still so cold? She replied, "My beloved, you have suffered over the years."
"Your Majesty, this is the cold palace, you'd better go back!" Concubine Li didn't even raise her head and continued to pound the medicine in her hand.
Nanny Li, who was standing aside, was delighted at first when she saw His Majesty come in. Emperor Cheng had never entered her Ningxiang Palace in all these years. It was a good thing that Emperor Cheng could come in today. Why was her master unhappy and instead wanted to push Emperor Cheng out? She immediately winked at Concubine Li.
"My beloved concubine, I know you are still brooding over what happened back then. I made a mistake in a moment of confusion. Please don't be angry with me, okay? Think about our Lin'er." Emperor Cheng walked over and grabbed Concubine Li and looked into her eyes.
This woman was indeed thoughtful. When Lin Er heard this, a gleam appeared in his eyes. There were also bursts of particularly pleasant medicinal fragrance wafting from Li Fei's body. He hadn't smelled these fragrances for many years, and this fragrance also made him feel very comfortable.
"Do you still like to pound medicine all these years?" Emperor Cheng asked.
"I have no freedom in this golden cage every day and can only do what I like." Concubine Li shook off Emperor Cheng's hand and continued to pound the medicine, crushing it and putting it into a bottle.
Seeing this, Emperor Cheng said, "Since my beloved concubine likes medicine so much."
He turned to Hu Man and said, "Someone go to the Imperial Hospital and put all the medicinal herbs in Ningxiang, and then find some precious herbs to send over. My beloved concubine, just keep the herbs company!"
After saying that, he turned and left Ningxiang Palace.
"Nono, why don't you accept His Majesty? This is a good opportunity for you to be favored!" asked Nanny Li.
"Madame Li, I used to think I had amazing medical skills and was more thoughtful than the women in the harem, but I overlooked the fact that this is a palace where men are superior to women and there are all kinds of calculations. I give up and I just want to find a chance to be free." Concubine Li sighed, "It's good now, I can get Emperor Cheng to send me medicinal herbs, and as a mother, I can earn more betrothal gifts for Lin'er."
"I received news from the pharmacy in the suburbs of Beijing that the master seems to have fallen in love with the girl from the Yu family." said Nanny Li.
"Let him do what he wants with his feelings! But you have to tell him to be careful about the limits. After all, she is a rich lady and should not do it too much." After saying this, Concubine Li picked up the medicine furnace beside her and started making pills.
There are some elixirs in the palace that can detoxify and nourish qi. Find a chance at night to give them to Hongying and ask her to give them to Lin'er, and ask Hongying to teach him the rules for men and women of all ethnic groups in the aristocratic families.
"Yes!" After replying, Nanny Li didn't say anything else. She began to help Concubine Li.
In the rice shop of Nanling County, Yang Yunsheng received a pigeon. He opened it and looked at the man sitting on the desk, who was as beautiful as a jade tree and dressed in purple and wearing a wolf mask, and said, "What did you do to the princess? Why did your aunt make you learn the rules of aristocratic families? You haven't done it yet!"
"Get out of here! Do I have such a lack of willpower?" the man replied coldly.
"The princess is getting more and more beautiful now. I can't help myself if I see the little beauty sleeping there." Yang Yunsheng looked at the Hades with a sly smile. "Then you didn't come back last night. You didn't go to see the princess sleeping, did you? You didn't do anything else!"
"I am not as bad as you." After saying this, he disappeared in a flash.
Yang Yunsheng whispered in the direction they were leaving: "The dark man disappeared again."
Tonight, Yu Yunxin returned to the medicine shop in Huashan Village. She had to ensure her personal safety, so she deliberately made an empty bed and released some of her own breath from the purple water chalcedony.
I looked at the five little ones outside the window, watching them sleeping on the tree or lying in the yard.
She sneaked out of the room and collected all the breath into the Purple Water Jadeite. She wanted to see the ability of the Purple Water Jadeite to store breath.
Sure enough, these animals can be deceived, let alone humans. She might as well sleep in the Flower Valley tonight! She feels safe. After all, she is wearing the body of an underage girl and she doesn't want to lose her virginity too early.
