Chapter 4 4. Jiangnan weaving

His father didn't trust him.

Now he is no longer the ignorant and weak child with a yellow mouth, he is a [-]-year-old high-spirited young man, while his father has quietly aged.

Times have changed, and many personnel and affairs have changed silently over time, whether it is him or the emperor, it is the same.

Jia Fei narrowed his eyes and retracted his gaze, thinking for a while, the color of his eyes gradually darkened. "So what about the people of 'East Factory', no matter what, they are still individuals." At the end, he smiled lightly.Humans have desires, and human desires are the weakness of the world. As long as he can grasp these various "desires" more ruthlessly than anyone else, he will not be afraid that these people will not obediently follow. he goes.They were not loyal to him, they were loyal to an irresistible desire, a fact he had always known and didn't care about.In this world, it is safer to believe in eternal interests than in eternal fidelity. "Shiro," he raised his hand to caress Jia Yu's head that was still leaning on his shoulder, and said in a low voice, "you can just rest, I'll take care of the rest."

Jia Yu rubbed his palm along the way, raised her head, and rested her chin on his shoulder, "Second brother, don't make a mistake, it's not that I have more than ruined things and I need you to hug and hug me." When he spoke, the corners of his lips were raised, and his eyes were bright.

When they arrived at Suzhou Mansion, local officials had already come to pick them up. They asked His Royal Highnesses to stay in the hotel before settling down. The servants have reported that the Jinyi Guard Yang Banner came to pay homage.

This time, the emperor used Dongchang's cronies as brocade guards, and sent three small banners, a total of 30 people, three banner leaders, one named Chen Si'an, one named Yang Siding, and one named Siyuan Zhang. It was changed later, as soon as he entered the East Factory, he abandoned his past and reincarnated as a human being.Chen Si'an is a thousand households who are often popular around the emperor, and Yang and Zhang are also a hundred households.The emperor knew very well what he did. He ordered Dongchang to act as a guard in brocade clothes to accompany him. He concealed his eyes and ears. Don't even bother to hide it.

These three eunuchs, according to their ranks, were naturally led by Chen Si'an.It stands to reason that if he wanted to pay a visit, Chen Si'an should come first.But this time Yang Siding crossed the peak and came to see him privately, he didn't know whether to praise him for his thoughtfulness or laugh at him for being too hasty.

Jia Fei's eyes flickered, he didn't deal with the matter, but asked Jia Yu first: "Hanshan Fengqiao, Taihu Lingyan, Shiro, where do you want to go first?"

"I'm tired today, and I don't want to go up the mountain. I can take a casual walk in the city. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. I want to go and see the Su embroidery of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau first." Jia Yu yawned, which should be quite meaningful.

"Since we are going to the weaving bureau, how can we miss Mr. Chen." Jiafei raised his eyebrows knowingly, then turned around and gave orders to the attendants, asking Chen, Yang, and Zhang to go to the weaving bureau together.

It was undoubtedly a slap on Hot's face, the sound was not loud, but the red mark was immediately visible.Yang Siding originally wanted to make a fool of himself in front of the lord, but he rushed forward to get a slap, and let Chen Si'an know about his unauthorized visit. He was disheveled along the way, like a weasel with its tail caught. Don't say anything secretly, seeing that the tail is about to disappear first, I don't know where to move my anxious eyes.On the contrary, Chen Si'an was very understanding of His Highness Prince Jing's clear-cut slap, and warmed up.

Lu Shiquan, the great eunuch in charge of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, and Chen Si'an's godfather, Chen Shiqin, the governor of the East Factory, are brothers who cleanse themselves with a knife and roll with a eaves. Therefore, when it comes to the Weaving Bureau, Chen Si'an is like half the master.Jia Yu said that he wanted to see the craftsmanship of the embroiderers, so he immediately asked someone to bring up the new weaves, all of them were cute and beautiful, as if they had been arranged for a long time.

Jiafei didn't bother to expose them, just watched idly, drank tea, and remained calm.

Jiayu didn't have such patience, so he glanced at some new weaves, and then laughed: "In the capital, people show me the finished products, but in Suzhou, it's still like this, isn't it boring? Mr. Chen, if I I just want to see the fabrics, why bother to come to your weaving bureau in person." He deliberately ignored Lu Shiquan and only talked to Chen Si'an, but he said "your weaving bureau" very emphatically.Before the words finished, Chen Si'an's face turned pale for a moment, and he hurriedly looked at his dry uncle.Lu Shiquan didn't respond, as if he didn't hear anything.

Seeing the colors of these people one by one, Jiafei put down the teacup and smiled, "Shiro, don't make trouble. The embroidery workshop of the Weaving Bureau is all made of royal tribute, so don't embarrass Duke Lu." Seemingly reprimanded For Jia Yu, the conversation clearly shifted to Lu Shiquan.

"Just take a look, what's the embarrassment? Could there be something shameful?" Jia Yu immediately snorted provocatively.

The king of Ankang County was weak since he was a child, and he was born to be favored. Even the title of the county king was taken from "Futai Ankang". It's normal for him to be proud of his favor.

Seeing Jiayu's attitude of not giving up until he achieves his goal, Lu Shiquan bowed helplessly, and begged for forgiveness with a wry smile: "Your Highness, if you want to see it in person, how dare you refuse to agree." , Your Highness, please go to the embroidery workshop.

He just got up, but he heard someone beside him quietly say: "Your Highness, Mr. Lu, this embroidery workshop is full of new weaves this year, so there are too many people and things are complicated, so the villain will not rush in." Following the sound, It turned out to be Zhang Siyuan who was silently watching from the sidelines all the way.

But hearing Zhang Siyuan's words, the aggrieved Yang Siding hastily echoed him.

Jiafei narrowed his eyes and looked at the two of them for a moment, without saying a word, he led Jia Yuzhao to the embroidery workshop.

The prince with the jade tree facing the wind, the county king with picturesque features, and the two princes who are as precious as jade, are so charming that they also illuminate the big workshop of Nuo.The embroiderers kept their heads down, afraid of being dazzled, not daring to look up.

Jiafei sat on the high seat, and while drinking tea, he talked with Lu and Chen Erjian, and occasionally glanced at others.Jia Yu seemed to be very happy, wandering around in the ranks of embroiderers, looking closely at the work they were doing.Chen Si'an had to deal with Jiafei with one eye, and stared at Jiayu with the other eye. His voice was muffled on the spot, and he was beaten by Lu Shiquan.Jia Fei was not annoyed, with a smile on his face, he continued to talk about other things, and asked some common things in the weaving bureau as if going through the motions, but it made people have to socialize.

Just as he was talking, Jia Yu suddenly laughed, "What's your hand called?"

Jia Fei followed the prestige and saw Jia Yu standing next to an embroiderer, bent down, smiling like a fox stealing a chicken.

The embroiderer seemed to be frightened, she didn't respond for a while, and the embroidery work in her hand dropped to the ground.

Jia Yu didn't wait for her to answer, picked up the piece of embroidery in his hand, straightened up and looked at Jia Fei, the corners of his lips curled up lazily: "Second brother, I want this embroiderer."

One word shocked everyone.

"Shiro." Jiafei held the teacup, unfathomable and noncommittal.

"I want an embroiderer, can't I?" Jia Yu raised her chin slightly.

Jiafei stopped talking, waiting for Lu Shiquan to accept the move.

It's so strange that the dignified county king wants an embroidered lady.

Lu Shiquan didn't dare to refute the unruly county king's face, so he called the embroidered lady to come forward.

The girl hastily bowed her body and approached in small steps, knelt down and dared not raise her head.

Jiafei glanced at her and asked, "What's your name? Where is the family name? What does the family do?"

"The maidservant's name is Hengwu. My family is Sangnong under the jurisdiction of the Suzhou Mansion." The girl responded softly, her voice trembling uncontrollably, but she was extremely orderly.

Jia Fei took a sip of tea and asked again, "Who else is in the family now?"

Heng Wu replied: "My father and mother passed away early, and my elder sister is married."

Jiafei asked again: "What was your original surname?"

"The surname is Xiao." Heng Wu responded, paused, bent down even lower, and continued: "The servant only knows the master's family, so I dare not say my private surname."

Jiafei couldn't help being shocked when he heard the sound, he glanced at the girl again, and saw that she was indeed a watery girl, although she couldn't see her face clearly with her head down, her figure was already in top shape.Seeing her cowardly appearance, but her words are in order, she is clearly a clever character.Jiafei laughed inwardly, raised his eyes to look at Jiayu who had returned to his side, and sighed: "It's rare that you ask for someone, so let's take it back. It's just that I don't know—" In the middle of talking, he glanced at Lu Shiquan.

Then Lu Shiquan couldn't object, so he had no choice but to agree repeatedly, accompanying and carefully sending away the two living Bodhisattvas, big and small.

After returning to the hotel, after serving the maidservants and changing them, and laying down comfortably on the couch, Jia Yu let out a long sigh, leaned up and looked at Jia Fei, "I'll just pretend to be crazy for you all day long, be respectful and benevolent It’s all about you, and it’s all about me being savage and domineering. I don’t care how people tell me about it in the future, but if you dare to poke me with this matter, don’t blame me for turning against me.”

Jia Fei was holding his medicine bowl, smelled it and smiled, leaned over to support him, fed him medicine, and said: "I'm fine, why poke you? But you have to tell me first, why did you pick this woman?" ?”

It's rare for him to be so proactive, Jiayu didn't think the medicine was too bitter anymore, she leaned into his arms softly, took a small sip from the porcelain spoon brought to her lips, and said with a smile: "Where is my choice?" Picked her? Obviously she picked me. "

"What?" Jia Fei raised an eyebrow.

Jia Yu said: "I wanted to pick one, but when I looked around, all the women were so frightened that their hands were shaking. I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to speak clearly when they picked it up. But she, who injected the needle steadily, deliberately dropped it on me. In front of the eyes. I thought it was interesting, so I asked her to come back."

Jiafei couldn't help laughing, put the medicine spoon back into the bowl, and asked, "Aren't you afraid that Lu Shiquan did it on purpose?"

Before the words fell, Jia Yu had already snorted: "What can a wife do to you and me? What he is most afraid of is that his father will secretly ask us to investigate his account. But seeing his cautious and cautious appearance today, I really don’t believe that he’s not greedy.” He rolled his eyes, propped himself up and approached Jiafei’s ear, and said in a low voice, “Second brother, you really plan to use the weaving bureau to knock those three A slap from the "East Factory"? Although it is not wrong to beat corrupt officials, but the father did not confess this job after all. If you "advocate without authorization", what will the old man do if he becomes cautious? It's better to scare and scare the matter. .”

Jiafei snorted softly: "You haven't seen it yet? It's true that Father didn't ask us to investigate the weaving bureau, but he asked someone else to investigate. Otherwise, why did you agree to come here? Why did you send Chen Si'an here again?" Let's join in the fun. Does the royal father really care about spending so much money outside every year?" The royal father's thoughts are more tortuous than ordinary people's.

Jia Yu's eyes flickered, but he didn't answer in a blink.

Jiafei brought another spoonful of medicine to his lips, and coaxed: "Drink the medicine while it's hot. I can't be with you for a while, it's up to you how many words you can get out of that woman's mouth."

Jia Yu opened his mouth and bit the porcelain spoon so that it creaked, glared at Jia Fei bitterly, and said coldly: "Tell me to talk nonsense with a slave girl, what does His Royal Highness King Jing think of me?"

He spoke resentfully, Jiafei couldn't help but startled, frowned, and reprimanded: "Nonsense again! When did I mean it?"

Jia Yu lowered her eyes and remained silent for a while, before exhaling a long breath, "Don't be afraid, if that girl is really a pawn, give me a knife, and you won't be able to see me again for the rest of your life."

He sighed mournfully, falling into Jiafei's heart, he couldn't help but soften again, touched his thin shoulders, and said in a low voice: "What nonsense, I will take good care of you."

"How do you protect me?" Jia Yu rolled his eyes sideways with disbelief on his face, "You think I don't know, aren't those right-hand men in your palace protecting your Zhen Xian at Hetao right now?" He didn't care Jiafei's face turned blue, and suddenly he stretched out his hand to hold Jiafei's chin, stared at those deep eyes, the stamina of the bitter medicine rolled back from the root of his tongue to the tip of his tongue, and his voice was bitter: "Second brother, can you start from now on?" Think about it slowly, I am not an idiot, nor am I a bad person with a heart for nothing, I will repay every kindness I have treated you today, and I am sure that you will pay me back one day. If you are really cruel and don't intend to return me, then you can think of a way to squeeze me out and get rid of me. I would rather you give me a clean and happy life, than you use some high-sounding reasons to trap me and make me feel better. That way , I really will hate you. Don't make me hate you."

The sound of the words was cut and nailed, filled with the blazing coldness of moths rushing into the flames, causing Jiafei's chest to tremble suddenly, and he missed a few beats.

He stared at Jiayu for a long time without answering, and couldn't help but froze.

But Jia Yu took the medicine bowl in his hand, raised her head and poured it down without looking at him again.

The word "hate", if spoken out, is not a joke.

True love is the most precious and rare treasure. It is not the gravel that is trampled on the roadside. If you give it, you will only give it to those who are worth it. If you give it to the wrong person unfortunately, you should take it back.I am most afraid of giving it with all my blood, but I can't take it back, and I will be trapped in place like a silver nail binding my soul, unable to live or die.Besides hate, how else can we transcend?

Although it is not easy to be cute, it is not easy to hate.All kinds of love become hate, there must be love first and then hate.So even if you hate, for every point you hate others, you must first hate yourself ten times.In the end, it is still futile.

Wouldn't it be extremely sad if the mountains and rivers were really exhausted to this extent.

Jia Yu held the empty medicine bowl in a daze, not even noticing when the second elder brother left, when suddenly, someone came to pick up the empty bowl in his hand.

He turned his eyes and saw that the embroidery lady who brought him back during the day was kneeling in front of him. After thinking for a while, he remembered that her name was Hengwu.

"Look into my eyes." He lifted her chin with the bowl and asked, "Tell me, what did you see?"

Heng Wu raised his head obediently, met those dark eyes, and lowered them for a long time, "Your Highness's eyes are persistent."

"Perseverance. You really know how to make things happen." Jiayu sneered, threw the medicine bowl aside, leaned back on the couch, squinted at Hengwu, and asked: "What else? I want to hear, the same Two black eyeballs, what can you see."

"Your Highness, do you really want to hear it?" Heng Wu still knelt with lowered eyes, his voice was like water.

Jia Yu smiled and nodded.

Heng Wu fell silent for a while, and his voice became softer, "Your Highness still has hostility in his eyes."

Jia Yuwen's eyes flickered slightly, and then he stopped laughing. "He really has a wink." He lowered his voice, propped his forehead with one hand, leaned on the couch, and said coldly: "Since you can recognize hostility, you must also be able to recognize it. After all, you don't really think you It was I who wanted to come back to serve."

Heng Wu didn't answer right away, but asked instead: "If the servant tells the whole story, can His Highness protect the safety of the servant?"

The woman actually bargained with him.Feeling shocked for a moment, Jia Yu couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly: "Then it depends on whether you are worth it or not."

After saying "is it worth it", Heng Wu seemed to be stunned for a moment, and suddenly bowed heavily, his voice choked up: "As early as when the ultimatum was issued in Beijing to inform the two Highnesses that they would come to Suzhou, the servants were thinking , no matter what, you have to tell your highnesses face to face with these words. Lu Shiquan is the hand of the inner court in Suzhou, and the masters of the state government can't control him. If your highnesses don't care, then there will be no one to control him !"
