The son crosses every night

In this dynasty, thinness was regarded as beauty, and most of the nobles were not plump.

The queen is not fat either, but she always wears loose clothes so that she doesn't show her figure.

When Tanghua asked Huang Chihan to make clothes, he specially asked him to make clothes to narrow the waist.

Compared with the queen mother's suit, the queen's clothes are closer to the cheongsam that Tang Hua saw.

On the yellow and reddish clothes, there are continuous and elegant autumn cloud patterns, which make the queen's skin white and thin.

Some powder was lightly applied on her face, and the skin that had been dull due to the passage of time became fair again, and it was set off extremely delicately by this set of clothes.

The most eye-catching thing is the emerald necklace hanging around her neck, such a full head of water, such a dark green necklace, the color is very different from the necklaces that people often wear at that time, giving people a completely different feeling.

Among the many girls present, no one has such a big emerald necklace in their dowry!

When they saw the necklace hanging around the queen's neck, many ladies were moved, and they were reluctant to buy a few necklaces like this to wear when they went back immediately.

The queen's face was not as serious as usual, but she had a smile on her face, which made her more radiant.

The necklace was beautiful, and the clothes were also beautiful. The queen's original six-point beauty was immediately set off by eight points, and all the ladies were secretly amazed.

Princess Boning thought to herself: It's really rare, I don't usually see you smiling like this.If she had this demeanor in normal times, she wouldn't be unable to give birth to a prince.

She said it in her heart, but she said with a smile on her face: "Sister-in-law, your clothes really look good, and it makes you stand out."

The empress showed a little shyness on her face, and she seemed to be waving her hands, "I'm so old, what else is there to look good?"

"You are still young, what strange words about your age?" The queen mother carefully looked at the queen's clothes, and praised: "The clothes are really beautiful, and you will wear them like this from now on to complement others."

The queen smiled, and said softly: "The concubine has yellow skin, it's still the queen mother, you look good in such clothes."

Eldest Princess Bo Ning said heartily: "I think they all look good. Tang Hua has a good eye, and the clothes and jewelry she chooses are all suitable."

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, "This mourner will be rewarded."

The queen mother glanced at the eunuch holding the box in the corner from the corner of her eyes, and then remembered that there was another box, and couldn't help being curious, "What does this box contain? Hurry up and show it to the Ai family."

The first two sets of clothes and jewelry brought a strong sense of anticipation to the queen mother, she waved her hand, and the eunuch hurried up with small steps, carrying the box to the queen mother.

The eunuch next to the queen mother opened the box, and saw the figure inside, and was startled. His concentration for many years could not be restrained, and he trembled slightly.

Tang Hua was already replying, "Return to the emperor's grandmother, this is the glazed mirror."

Seeing the eunuch's movements, Tang Hua hurriedly said: "The mirror is a bit bright and will reflect light, let me do it."

Seeing this, everyone stretched their necks.

The chief eunuch glanced at the queen mother out of the corner of his eye, seeing that she had no intention of objecting, he quickly nodded and bowed to give up his position.

Tang Hua carefully picked up the mirror. This mirror is made of the largest piece of glass they have fired so far. It is more than three inches long and wide. Due to technology, this mirror is a bit smaller than the mirrors he saw in modern times. However, in contemporary times, this is a top-notch mirror, and most bronze mirrors are at this level.

The mirror is square, wide at the top and bottom, long at the left and right, and about five-thirds of the length.The mirror frame is made of sandalwood, inlaid with mother-of-pearl, white jade and ruby ​​to form patterns, and the mirror handle is also inlaid with gemstones.

When holding it, Zhanhua specially pressed it down so that the nobleman would not be dazzled by the skylight, so he took it out and held it up for the queen mother to see.

The queen mother was startled, she shook her whole body, moved to the side, patted her heart and said, "Oh, how come there is such a clear mirror?"

"This is a glazed mirror made by the craftsmen of my family. Among the mirrors that took more than half a year to make, this is the largest one. It is the most suitable for dressing up and taking pictures."

The Empress Dowager stretched out her hand, and said a little anxiously: "Come, come, Ai Family, take a look."

Tang Hua hurriedly handed over the mirror. The Empress Dowager lifted up her long armor and only held the mirror with three fingers. Tang Hua was protecting it with her hand, "Grandmother, the mirror is a bit heavy. Be careful not to drop your hand."

The Queen Mother looked at herself in the mirror, and after living for such a long time, it was the first time she saw her own face so clearly, she was amazed for a while, "This mirror is really clear."

As she spoke, she passed it on to others to watch.

The queen also jumped when she got the mirror, but the copper mirror was far less effective, and she didn't know how to make such a bright mirror.

Princess Boning was even more surprised when she got it, "This mirror is so bright that it almost dazzles people's eyes! Is this also your servant's business?"

The mirror was still passed down, and the girls who had seen the mirror all pricked up their ears, just to hear about the news of the new mirror, so that they could buy one together with the jewelry later. "

Tanghua didn't expect that Sleepy happened to meet someone offering a pillow, so he hurriedly said: "The mirror is not for sale, it only comes with the fragrant cloud gauze."

Since this is the Palace of Compassion and Ning, Tang Hua didn't dare to say much, and only mentioned a little.

The wives present were all human beings, and they understood just this sentence, and their eyes flickered slightly.

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "You are really ingenious, I think this aura follows you."

Tang Hua: "Thank you, Grandmother, for your praise."

The more the Queen Mother looked at it, the more she fell in love with it, and she couldn't help but ask, "Tianhua, are you eighteen?"

Tang Hua replied: "Going back to the emperor's grandmother, the young minister is eighteen years old in falsehood, but seventeen years old in real life."

"Seventeen is not young anymore, which lady do you like?"

When Tang Hua heard that this was a matchmaking posture, he hurriedly said: "Going back to the emperor's grandmother, my father, king and elder brother are still in the frontier, the world is not peaceful, why should I call it home, I have no plans to get married yet."

After he said this, the queen mother remembered that Gu Tangyu often entered the palace, and the queen mother watched him grow up, and she became a little worried when she heard this, "Your brother is not married either?"

Tang Hua nodded, "I haven't taken care of it yet."

The queen mother was very emotional, and patted him on the arm, "Your loyal mourners have seen it. It has been two or three years since the old concubine went west, and the filial piety has long been finished. Should you hurry up or do you have to hurry up? You seem to have two older sisters?"

"Returning to the emperor's grandmother, that's right. My sisters were all born in the same year as me."

Princess Bo Ning spoke quickly and asked cordially, "I'm engaged. I wonder which family will be lucky enough to marry a beautiful woman?"

Madam Linjiang Hou smiled and said, "Fortunately, the young general and elder sister have made an appointment with my second son."

General Longxi's wife on the other side also laughed, "The little general and the second sister fell into my house."

The Empress Dowager was full of interest, she turned her head and asked, "That's a beautiful thing for the two villages, but have you passed the ceremony?"

Mrs. Linjiang Hou said respectfully: "Not yet, I am sending a matchmaker. If you can get two orders from your empress, it will be a beautiful thing."

The Empress Dowager is really in a good mood today, and she didn't refute when she heard the words, she said with a smile: "It's fate to meet you, it suits the beauty of an adult, so I'll be the matchmaker."

The three families were overjoyed and kowtowed to thank the Queen Mother together.

The mirror presented by Tang Hua surprised the Queen Mother for a long time. When Tang Hua resigned, the Queen Mother specially rewarded him with a box of precious stones, a dendrobium of pearls and thirty pieces of cloth.

The empress also received rewards. Compared with the empress dowager's specifications, the gems, pearls, and fabrics were lowered by one level, and a jade ruyi was added.

Although Tanghua is a clan relative, it is not easy to get rewards. It is a surprise to be treated like this.

It was already noon when Tang Hua left the palace, He Hua hurriedly ran up to greet him when he saw someone.

When Tang Hua saw them, he immediately ordered Lei Xing, who also came up, "Send someone to the fabric store and inform shopkeeper Lin. I'm afraid there will be business coming soon, so let him quickly prepare to meet him."

Lei Xing responded solemnly, waved his hand from behind, and immediately came out a capable man, trotting to report to the cloth store.

No official or noble person is allowed to run horses in the nearby streets, and the messenger must walk.

Tang Hua glanced at the ladies who were about to come out behind him, and said to He Hua, "Let's go back to the residence."

He Hua asked, "My lord, don't we need to go to the fabric store?"

"No, if the fabric is not enough to sell, it will be bad for anyone who refute it later." Zhuanghua got into the carriage and said, "Hurry up."

"Yes."

After Tanghua returned to the mansion, someone asked Gu Ende to come and talk.

When Gu Ende heard the news, he was in a hurry, thinking something happened, he was shocked, and hurried over.

Tanghua said to him: "There is a joy in the house. Just now, the emperor's grandmother said that she would marry the two sisters. It is estimated that she will come back in the afternoon. Prepare something and inform the mother and the two sisters to avoid panic."

Gu Ende was overjoyed, the Queen Mother gave the marriage a big face, his beard curled up happily, "The old slave knows."

"There is one more thing, please help me send something to the residence of Eldest Princess Boning." Zhuanghua told He Hua, "Bring a box of mirrors at home."

Tanghua has already paid tribute to the princess with the mirror, and the two sisters and Gu Tanghan also sent one to each other.

Gu Ende was quite familiar with such things, and immediately said after hearing the words: "The old slave immediately sent someone to deliver it."

Tang Hua nodded, "That's all for these two things."

Today, June [-]th, when he just entered the palace, he brought three mirrors with him, one for the Empress Dowager and one for the Empress Dowager. The government offered it layer by layer, and it is estimated that it will be offered in the afternoon.

The day after tomorrow is the Longevity Festival. Tomorrow, the emperor and empress will go to Biezhuang to escape the summer heat together. Recently, Yan Hua has been receiving a lot of favor, so she is also on the accompanying list.

Tang Hua ordered people to prepare meals, thinking about how to go next.

Things at the cloth store were as expected by Tang Hua, as soon as the noble ladies came out of the palace, they went straight to his cloth store, fearing that there would be too many people and the mirrors would be delivered, so they would not be able to catch up with the first trip.

After hearing the news, He Hua imitated Tang Hua vividly: "My lord, you don't know that our fabrics are going crazy, and when it's the last mirror's turn, Mrs. Li from General Weiping's Mansion and Mrs. Kang Pingbo are almost the same." There was a quarrel, one said she saw it first, the other said she paid the bill first, the two wives negotiated in person, and the servants all stood aside, that scene was extremely hot!"

Tang Hua frowned slightly, "This is a little rude, how will shopkeeper Lin deal with it?"

Seeing that Tang Hua was not as happy as he had imagined, He Hua quickly suppressed the joy on his face, "The shopkeeper Lin came out to apologize personally, saying that the mirrors were not enough, and he waited for the goods to be transferred to the two families, and then finally Send the two ladies away."

Tang Hua nodded, "It's okay, I haven't offended anyone."

He Hua said, "In the entire imperial capital, we are the only ones who can sell such good fabrics."

Tang Hua shook his head and smiled silently.

Their fabrics are easy to sell, and what they sell is novelty, technology, and influence.This effect can be achieved thanks to the empress dowager and queen wearing clothes made of fragrant cloud yarn on the spot, and His Majesty appreciates the fragrant cloud yarn.

These are the keys to the high price of Xiangyun yarn, and they are indispensable.

If he wants to continue this business and build a brand name and reputation, he needs to put in more effort and manage it well.

Tang Hua thought for a while, and asked: "Tomorrow, I will follow you to Biezhuang, have you packed up your clothes and other items?"

"Master Hui, everything has been packed, and the carriage has also been ordered."

Gu Wangfu is the only one with the same surname, the concubine and Gu Tanghan are both on the escort list, and the two concubine sisters should also go with them. If I didn't say earlier, I might not be able to find a suitable carriage tomorrow.

Tang Hua heard that He Hua handled things properly, and nodded in satisfaction, "This will be done."

In the evening, Tang Hua rushed to Ruan Shijie's place with a box.

Ruan Shijie saw that he almost couldn't hold back his feet and bumped into the desk, and asked with a smile, "What happened, you're so happy?"

Tanghua didn't suppress his joy at all when he was in Ruan Shijie. He frowned, and said a little proudly: "Today I presented clothes to the empress dowager and empress, and when they wore them, our fragrant cloud gauze will be sold in the afternoon." crazy!"

"Congratulations." Ruan Shijie stood up and asked with a smile, "Is the stock ready?"

"It's not too big." Tang Hua looked at him leaning on the table, and smiled, "It's too big and worthless, and they are sold under pressure, and only part of it is sold outside. This time we plan to sell 360 horses, 120 horses for each pattern. , Don’t forget to take out when it’s sold out.”

"How many horses do you have in total?"

"It's only about [-] pieces. Xiangyun yarn is not easy to dye, and the defective products have to be dyed into other materials. They can't be sold as Xiangyun yarn, so as not to bring a bad reputation. When the fabric is dyed, printing is another link, and here it has to be discarded. Some cloth, a batch of plain silk from the purchase to the finished product, it would be good if one-third of it can be left.”

Tanghua didn't understand anything before, but now he can talk about business clearly.

Ruan Shijie pondered, "Sell half of it, and keep half of it. Xiangyun yarn is made of summer cloth. It's already more than July, and it will get colder in October. You can sell it twice at most. How do you allocate your own money?" There are many."

Tang Hua laughed, "I'll sell it again. This month and next month, I'll only sell the three kinds of cloth this time. I'll look at designing the next pattern when I'm in Qiuhu."

"Then I wish you great success and a lot of money."

"Accept your good words." Tang Hua handed over the box in his hand, and said happily: "Sir, I gave you a gift, take a look, do you like it?"

Ruan Shijie noticed the box in his hand early in the morning, and when he saw him offering the treasure, he took the box and opened it with a smile in his eyes.

Inside is a brooch and two cufflinks, all of which are made of fine jadeite.

The brooch is made in the shape of a dragonfly, with a gold base and emerald decorations. The dragonfly carefully crafted by the craftsman is extremely agile, as if flying away at any time.

The cufflinks look a little plain, with silver backing, two round jadeites, and a simple shape, but the outstanding water head makes it impossible for anyone to ignore it.

These are the best jadeite cufflinks that Ruan Shijie has ever seen. Most people would never be willing to use such jadeite as cufflinks.

Ruan Shijie stared at the box, "Why did you suddenly think of giving me this?"

Seeing Ruan Shijie staring at the cufflinks, Tang Hua smirked, "These jadeites were originally found to make a necklace for the queen. I thought the water head was really good, so I couldn't bear to give it all to her, so I kept some for you. Sir, Do you like it?"

Ruan Shijie's throat moved, and after a while, he said hoarsely, "I like it."
