The Queen of the Red Chamber is a little flustered

In the deep winter season, with heavy snowfall, the capital city looks extraordinarily cold, but the hearts of the women are hot.

The fifth princess acted swiftly and led a group of women's soldiers to work in full swing.

Years ago, Gu Qinyuan was busy with palace affairs, and sent Miwa to watch over the women's school affairs, and only glanced at the list sent by the fifth princess at night.

But they didn't know they were so fast. During Laba, the palace had already been cleaned up, and the husband was also found, waiting for the students to enroll.

He sent people to send the Laba porridge cooked in the imperial dining room to various prefectures, and the whole family accompanied the queen mother to finish dinner before Tu Mingjin took his wife and children back to Qianqing Palace.

The two little ones played around on the couch for a while, and Gu Qinyuan asked the nanny to carry them to the side hall.

With great strength, Yongxu grabbed the edge of the couch and didn't want to go back. He wrinkled his face and spat out the word "no" from his small mouth.

The nanny smiled wryly, but she didn't dare to pull his hand for fear of hurting the little master.

Xi'er also wanted to sleep with her father and queen, but the nanny came to hug her, and immediately pouted, looking like she was going to cry or not.

Gu Qinyuan only felt that her head was big, she held her forehead, and glanced at the desk.

Tu Mingjin was taking an exam on Yonghao's homework, noticed the situation here, looked up into Gu Qinyuan's helpless eyes, with a slight smile in his eyes, put his hand on his lips, and coughed lightly.

Hearing his father's warning, Yong Xu quickly closed his mouth, pursed his lips, and looked pitifully at his mother with his round eyes.

"You." Gu Qinyuan reached out and nodded at him, and got a big smile from him, which was silly, just like the silly son of a landlord's family, which made Gu Qinyuan laugh too.

Yongxu, a brat, is usually most afraid of his father, probably because Tu Mingjin is strict with his two sons.

"Mother's queen." Xi'er called out softly, opening her hands to want her mother's hug.

This pair of enemies!Gu Qinyuan hugged Xi'er and thought.

After quickly asking about the homework of the eldest son, Tu Mingjin patted Yonghao on the shoulder, "Let Su Qitai take you back to the East Fifth Institute."

Yonghao nodded, looked inside, Gu Qinyuan waved with a smile, and when he walked in, stretched out the other hand to touch his head, and said softly: "It's too cold, I'll go to the study room tomorrow to turn on the stove." Come on, don't freeze..."

It was rambling, but Yonghao was not impatient at all, nodded while still caring: "The queen mother is also careful about her body."

After chatting about the household chores, Yonghao lightly touched his younger sister's face, and stroked his younger brother's round head, saluted his father, queen, and queen, and then went back to Dongwu Institute.

The eldest son left, and the husband and wife carried the child to the side hall together, and returned to the main hall after the two younger ones fell asleep.

Sitting on the bed, Gu Qinyuan leaned on the pillow and rubbed her sore shoulders.

"Tired?" Tu Mingjin hugged her into his arms, let her lean in his arms, put his hands on her shoulders, and squeezed gently, "After being busy for a while, it's good for Yuanyuan to rest."

There are many things to do during the Chinese New Year, and it is the first year of the new emperor's ascension to the throne. Both of them are busy going around. He is fine as a big man, but Yuanyuan is very tired.

"Otherwise, leave the women's studies to them, and you will ask about it later." Tu Mingjin said.

"Fifth sister-in-law and the others are busy, I just look at the list, I won't be tired." Gu Qinyuan shook her head.

Tu Mingjin looked down at her, pondered for a while, and then said: "Yuanyuan's original intention of running a girls' school is not just to let noble girls have a place to go to school."

Gu Qinyuan's heart tightened, knowing that she couldn't hide her thoughts from him, "What do you think, Your Majesty?" Her tone was a little nervous.

Tu Mingjin patted her on the back, as if to comfort her, "Running a school is a good thing, but Yuanyuan should understand that only one school will not be of much use. No matter how good a woman's education is, being trapped in the back house is of little use. "

Hearing this, Gu Qinyuan sat up all of a sudden, turned her head to look at his serious face, with a look of incredulity, "You mean... let the girl walk out of the back house."

She thought that Tu Mingjin would not agree, or even object. After decades of subtle influence, the idea that men are superior to women has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

But Tu Mingjin laughed, stretched out his hands to brush Gu Qinyuan's hair, and said directly: "Besides being a man, I am also the emperor of Daqi." Then, he pulled Gu Qinyuan into his arms again, and said, "What's more If women can go out to earn money, the court will naturally be able to pay more taxes, and I have no reason to object."

Well, as the biggest "landlord" in Daqi, it must be a good thing to be able to work more long-term jobs. Gu Qinyuan understood what he meant in seconds.

"It's just that it's hard to find jobs suitable for women these days." Gu Qinyuan said, it's not difficult to lure women out to work, but it's hard to find jobs for them.

In the era without machines, the most important thing is the strength of the hand. Women have little strength and can only do light work.

"Yuanyuan had someone make a good woolen fabric a few days ago." Tu Mingjin said with a smile, "Those in the cabinet knew that the fabrics that the empress rewarded were good, so they begged me to reward them with a few dollars."

This year's weather is cold, silk and cotton are not good at keeping warm, the masters in the palace wear furs, and the charcoal fires are burning everywhere, so no one can freeze.Respectable palace people also live a comfortable life, but some of the little palace ladies and eunuchs have a cold.

This trivial matter will not reach Gu Qinyuan's ears. The Ministry of Internal Affairs moves the sick palace servants to the Zhuangzi outside the palace. Wait on Zhuangzi.

Gu Qinyuan once went to the East Fifth Institute to see Yonghao, and met someone sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs on the way. After asking, she knew that the life of a small person is not easy.Ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to distribute more sets of winter clothes to the palace people, and tell the imperial dining room to prepare ginger soup every day.

People around her sang praises and said that she was a virtuous queen, but Gu Qinyuan still kept this matter in her heart.

Fresh mutton was delivered from Huangzhuang, and when the mutton was cooking in a pot, Gu Qinyuan's mind flashed, and she suddenly thought of the woolen coat from her previous life.

Send people to Huangzhuang to fetch the wool, let the little maid wash it and sort it, and then send it to the House of Internal Affairs.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is in charge of the royal family's food and clothing, and this is the first time they have received an order to weave cloth with wool. However, they dare not neglect the order of the empress empress, so they hurriedly summoned a few good weavers, and spent a lot of time. The time is right.

The fabrics sent to Qianqing Palace were beyond Gu Qinyuan's expectation, and they were not much different from those in the previous life. Because they were still in the filial piety period, they were mostly plain colors.

"It's warm when you touch it." Mother Zhao said with a smile.

"Use this material to make some coats for Your Majesty." Gu Qinyuan ordered, "Send them to the palaces of the prince, princess, Gu, Rongguo..."

Tu Mingjin wasn't afraid of the cold at all, but he still felt hot while sitting in the warm pavilion of the imperial study in that middle coat, and when he took off his coat, it was somewhat similar to the clothes worn by the princes.

Members of the cabinet are wondering, when will this material become popular in Beijing?

Fang Shoufu immediately cupped his hands and said, "I don't know the clothes on Your Majesty and the princes..."

The brothers looked at each other, they were a little stunned, it wasn't Da Asahi, they were all wearing ordinary clothes, I hadn't noticed before, they were all made of the same batch of materials.

Of course, it's still different when you look closely, after all, your identity is there, and those people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs carefully weighed Gu Qinyuan's mind, and the fabrics made are differently regulated.

Tu Mingjin's cold and hard face softened, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and his mood improved a lot.

Tu Minglang clapped his palms and laughed loudly, "No wonder I felt something was wrong earlier, so it turns out that what the brothers are wearing today is rewarded by the emperor's wife."

The fourth prince hurriedly said: "The material that the empress gave is very good, and it is much warmer than silk clothes." Normally, he would not flatter a woman like this, but this is not because the fourth princess had an affair with the empress because of the female school. dissatisfaction.

He knew Lao Qi's feelings for the queen, and the youngest son was going to school in the palace and needed the care of the queen. The man was able to bend and stretch. Although the fourth prince looked a little gloomy than before because of his disfigurement, he still couldn't hold back his face.

Because of this temperament, Tu Mingjin thinks highly of him, even if he doesn't sincerely bow his head and surrender, but as long as Tu Mingjin keeps controlling the power, he will do things with peace of mind.

"This material is not bad." Tu Mingjin nodded with a smile, not knowing whether to agree with the fourth prince's words, or to praise the queen's ingenuity.

Anyway, Tu Minglang thought it must be the latter one. Thinking of this, he felt a little depressed. Before the seventh brother and seven sisters-in-law were not married, they still gave each other gifts. Why did he send people to the government office to send gifts several times? Ma Shi didn't move at all, could it be possible to still take Joe?

His Majesty said yes, it must be good, the other elders immediately became envious and begged His Majesty for a piece of material.

Gu Qingbai smiled imperceptibly, the embroidery girls in the mansion were already making the material that his daughter sent.

Tu Mingjin didn't say anything about the imperial study room, and Gu Qinyuan didn't know about it either.

Now when Tu Mingjin mentioned woolen materials, Gu Qinyuan didn't understand why he suddenly mentioned this crop, but she still said: "There are still a few horses in the warehouse, and I will send them to the elders tomorrow. "

Seeing that Gu Qinyuan looked a little dazed, Tu Mingjin said with a smile: "Lao Jiu said that people in Beijing are very keen on woolen materials, if some materials produced by the Household Department are sold, they will definitely make a lot of money."

Not just in Beijing, but in the whole of Daqi, except for the southernmost provinces, with such clothes in winter, you can have a good winter, and there are those reckless people on the northern grasslands...

A hint of sternness flashed in Tu Mingjin's eyes. This year it was colder on the grassland, and the border was invaded several times. Fortunately, Daqi never let go of the defense in the north, and with his confidants around, Mangzi didn't get any benefits. Roll back to the grassland in despair.

But those barbarians who couldn't be killed at the border were still a thorn in Tu Mingjin's heart. He wanted to send troops deep into the grassland to destroy those barbarians, but there were different voices from the government and the opposition.

It was impossible for Tu Mingjin to kill those elders who kept shouting about the demeanor of the country, so he couldn't help but sneered in his heart.

But because of the wool spinning incident, Tu Mingjin had other ideas about the prairie barbarians, and his wife's recent busy affairs could also have other avenues.

Weaving cloth and making clothes is women's specialty. If you want to produce woolen fabrics in large quantities and sell them to the grasslands or even overseas, you need a lot of female workers.

In fact, Tu Mingjin didn't have any ideas about improving the status of women. He had a deep relationship with the queen mother, and was deeply influenced by the queen mother since childhood. Later, he married Gu Qinyuan and fell in love with her for many years. How could he not know her thoughts, and the little girl …

Although he can give Xi'er the utmost love, but the girl will always marry someone, if it happens to Yurong, he must have the heart to eat that person.Of course, he would definitely choose a good son-in-law for Xi'er, but it would be the best if Xi'er can live a life of frankness and frankness.

"I have asked Lao Jiu to take charge of this matter. I will gather some widows and orphans in Beijing to make clothes, and send people to the border before spring." Tu Mingjin said softly.

Gu Qinyuan understood what he meant, looked at him with mist in his eyes, "Thank you."

Tu Mingjin only smiled, pulled her to lie on the spacious bed, and stroked her back, "Sleep first."

The author has something to say: A small cold dragged on to a severe cold, and I was hung up in the hospital for two days, my head was groggy, and I forgot to ask for leave to tell the little angels, I'm sorry!

I will definitely make up for the previous two days~
