A new journey of accumulating wealth

Chapter 391 Journey to the Homeland 3 in 1

Since it was said that the empress mother and the empress dowager were going to participate in the silkworm kissing ceremony, the empress felt a little more at ease.But still sent several groups of people a day to ask Lin Yutong's opinion.He Wan didn't understand why, "The silkworm kissing ceremony is arranged by the Ministry of Rituals. How important is it? How dare you be perfunctory? Why do you have to work so hard while the queen is pregnant?"

Lin Yutong waved her hand: "I can't blame her." She wandered around the academy with He Wan, whispering about this matter, "The ceremony of kissing silkworms was handed down from the Zhou Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. After all, it is a little different. When I first entered the customs, the Han Emperor's This set has not been learned so deeply. In the Kangxi Dynasty, there were no three empresses in the early years, and then no more empresses were registered. Setting up a silkworm altar is just one thing. At the time of your imperial grandfather, the silkworm temple was rebuilt in the northern suburbs. It was passed on to your Ama. In the early years, the silkworm temple was also used to set up a silkworm altar... until later, Your Ama has restored the ancient system and rebuilt the silkworm temple, this time the scale is larger, which is what you can see now..."

This Hewan knew that the altar was four feet square and four feet high, covered with Beijing bricks, surrounded by white stones, with a tripod-style incense burner on the south side, and mulberry trees on the east, west and north sides.On the left side of the altar, there are also the Temple of the First Silkworm, the Temple of Sericulture, the Hall of Clothes, the Bathing Silkworm Pond, the Viewing Mulberry Terrace, the Slaughter Pavilion, the Divine Kitchen, the Divine Library, the Mulberry Garden, the Silkworm Room, the Cocoon Hall, the Weaving Room, and the Side Hall. The palace wall outside the hall is a magnificent building complex.

"Yes! It's there." Lin Yutong said, "This restores the ancient silkworm ceremony. Among the empresses of the Qing Dynasty, Empress Xiaoxian Fucha was the first one. Before her, there was no complete silkworm ceremony in the Qing Dynasty. A precedent. For the current queen, it is difficult for her to have the glory of the pioneer before, as a latecomer, without making mistakes. What's more, she may not be reconciled in her heart, and she always wants to have her own uniqueness. Therefore, it is inevitable to be cautious everywhere and be careful in everything..."

He Wan shook her head: "She is too much. Why do you need to compare with the ancestors? You reminded me when you said it. It has only been a few years. At that time, it was Lord Fu Heng who assisted the former queen. Everything is handled and supervised by someone outside, and it is naturally more appropriate. Now this empress has no one outside, this is incomparable. Grandmother, you have to be careful when the empress sees you as the first, but always puts you on the top Acting on your behalf."

Lin Yutong just laughed: "He Wanna, sometimes reputation depends on how you use it. It's not okay to be used as a dominance. But it's not bad to use it to frighten Xiaoxiao. Whether it's pro-cultivation or pro-silkworm , this is all a ceremony. For whom? For the world. But He Wan, your grandpa and I always look forward to it. If you are innocent and spiritual, you will bless the world with good weather. What's wrong with lending her fame?"

He Wan was taken aback for a moment, then lowered her head receptively, "Granddaughter understands."

Lin Yutong patted her: "People have to be able to fight and fight, but not just fighting. Fighting is always just a means, not an end. Do you understand?"

understand... right?

He Wan couldn't help thinking in her heart, what is the purpose of the emperor's grandmother trying to achieve through this Silkworm First Ceremony?Let people know that the mother empress dowager is really there, and is it still the mother empress dowager?

The queen sent someone to ask about the candidate for the silkworm mother.The silkworm mother usually selects six marquis wives, who are usually the family members of honorable ministers, and ordered his wife to be selected.

This Lin Yutong did not exceed his authority, and only asked the queen to figure it out.It's the silkworm woman, Lin Yutong said, and immediately asked Jiangnan to send someone, it must be the female family member of the weaver household.

In addition, women with outstanding abilities in silkworm raising and weaving can be selected and sent to watch the ceremony.All expenses on the road are borne by the imperial court.This purpose is not only aimed at weavers in the south whose main business is silk, but also cotton spinning in the northern states.There are not many selected in each province, only five places.There are government offices to choose, and Haosheng will send people here.After watching the ceremony, the imperial court will send someone to send it back.

The queen was also worried that this suggestion would be too much trouble.Because of this, the auspicious day for the first silkworm ceremony has to be chosen at the end of March, otherwise other places will not be able to catch up with this trip.It's a little tense at this time.

But as soon as he told Qianlong, Qianlong applauded.He didn't know what Lin Yutong was planning to do, he just thought he wanted to expand the influence on Liu.He thinks this idea is very good. In the future, whenever there are major events in the imperial court, it can also follow this example, so that all the people in the world can bathe in the emperor's grace.

I feel more and more that the Queen's mother is doing things with a sense of atmosphere.Now this empress is really worse than Huang Erniang and Xiaoxian.

The queen felt as if she had eaten a fly, and she felt a little uncomfortable when she returned home.

Mother Rong said: "The empress dowager outside the palace has too many things to do."

"Shut up!" The Queen glared at Rong Momo, "What does it have to do with that Queen Mother? Could it be that it is a bad thing for Bengong to have more people come to see this Queen?"

That... not really!The most important thing about selecting silkworm mothers is for the queen to decide.

The queen said: "It's the emperor...everything is compared to the previous queen, I think it's wrong even if I move my feet!"

On the contrary, Nanny Rong didn't know what to say, so she just stroked the queen's back: "You, you are no better than anyone else. Back then, you were born lower than Empress Fucha. When it comes to appearance, when it comes to temperament... But ma'am, let's not compare with the total."

There is only one original wife, which is also difficult to compete with.

The queen rubbed her stomach, "Let's not mention this, I'm just worried... If the date is chosen at the end of March, my stomach will be almost nine months old by then."

The sacrificial ceremony was complicated, with rehearsals before, two days of fasting afterward, followed by busy work from morning to night. Her big belly might not be able to hold it.

Mother Rong said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, at least the Empress Dowager will follow her that day, so nothing will happen to her. If she refuses now, I'm afraid that besides the officiant, the Emperor will arrange someone to assist you..."

The queen rubbed her stomach, "Even if you call it an arranger, you can't let the child in your belly go wrong. Tomorrow, the palace still has to mention it to the Lord Long Live. Anyway, the imperial concubine has already assisted in the palace affairs, so what if there is one more girl?" Is it possible that without her this time, everyone will underestimate her. In addition, many things still need the assistance of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If Lingfei participates, this arrangement will be more calm. At least Lingfei will not watch who makes mistakes Regardless, it can be regarded as making a pair of eyes in this palace."

This made sense, and Nanny Rong didn't speak any more, she just panicked because of her master's grievances.

But when Qianlong told Concubine Ling about this, Concubine Ling refused to accept the offer.She smiled softly, "I know that Lord Long Live is partial to my concubine. Naturally, this concubine also wants this honor. But if you think about this concubine, how can I not think about my concubine more? Stability lies in two words - thoroughness. This is the principle taught to concubines by the former empress. Now the old lady outside the palace... no! It is the empress dowager. The empress dowager outside the palace wants to come to the silkworm ceremony in person. The queen mother really doesn't care about it? If she really doesn't care, she will be criticized. It is helpless for the queen mother to recuperate. But there must be someone from the queen mother, so that the queen mother can feel more at ease. What should I do if the disease suddenly becomes severe in good times?"

All the way, making trouble twice and hanging himself three times, this kind of "disease" is more likely to occur on good days.

Concubine Ling saw that Qianlong's complexion had darkened, so she hurriedly said: "Besides, the concubines are young and shallow after all. They have been serving Lord Longevity no longer than the elder sisters. Lord Longevity, you are a long-term lover. You are a long-term lover in this palace. , it should be that not only the newcomer laughs, but the old one laughs even more. Ask the concubine to say that Sister Yufei is a good choice. She can not only please the Queen Mother, but also serve the Long Live Lord for a long time, and give it back to the Long Live Lord. I gave birth to a smart and sensible fifth elder brother. With all these things added up, is it possible that you are not qualified?"

Either reason seems to be valid.

But with one mouthful, Concubine Yu was stamped with the title of 'the Queen Mother's person'.

Qianlong patted Concubine Ling: "Since Xiaoxian and Huixian, you are the most suitable for me."

Thus, Concubine Yu was hit by the pie in the sky.She was pleasantly surprised at first, but then she knew that the emperor made the order in the concubine Ling's palace, and she suddenly became ill.I wish I could bite off a piece of Concubine Ling's flesh!Did I push your kid down the well?You count me so!

Got it!After this incident, the empress definitely doesn't want to see herself and fifth elder brother.

The fifth elder brother, who was already conspicuous, became the target of public criticism this time.

No matter how he calculated it, Silkworm Li still came after he had tossed about up and down.The silkworm mother is chosen by the queen, but the queen... must be fair!No favoritism at all.

The Fucha family must have one, and Fu Heng's wife Guerjia is the first choice.

Sixteen Fujin in the clan, this is the old Fujin of the older generation.

Then there is Prince Fujin Wu Zaku, who no one can grab.

There are still three places left, so Han Chen has to be taken into account.

First, select Bandi's wife from among the ministers of military aircraft. She is not a Hanchen, but a Mongolian from the Borzigit family, but she is the commander of the Han army banner, with a special status.It also has a certain representative meaning.

Then there are the Hanchens, one is Liu Tongxun's wife, and the other is Liu Lun's wife.

Liu Tongxun knows many people, but they don't know that Liu Lun is not inferior to Liu Tongxun in the court, and there has been a saying of Southern Liu and Northern Liu since his inception.

The queen's natal family handed over signs to the palace seven or eight times throughout March, but they were all rejected.It can be seen that the queen has really done justice in this matter.He didn't take the opportunity to pull out his mother's family at all.

At this time, the empress felt that it was difficult to sit in this seat. If the concubine did this, she would definitely praise her.What she did was just fulfilling her duty.It was exhausting.

And the silkworm women who were sent here were gentle and gentle; Lin Yutong reported: "I'm afraid they are not among them." The emperor's grandmother didn't mean that at all.

Lin Yutong laughed, "Just watch."

In such a hurry, and such a good thing, it must have some background to be able to come.If it is not a female family member of a merchant, it must be a female family member with many ties under the merchant.There are no means and skills that cannot be selected.

I'm afraid some officials not only didn't bother about it, but also made a fortune because of it.

She told He Wan: "Is the lobby I asked you to vacate before available?"

yes!It can accommodate more than 300 people.

"Later, your sixth uncle sent some things over, and you watched and told him to put them away. If there are men coming in and out, don't let them run around. If you are too busy, ask Su Ying'er to help you."

Yes!

The sacrificial ceremony will be rehearsed on March 29th and 26th.During the rehearsal, Lin Yutong asked He Wan to go for her. She only read the process sent by the Ministry of Rites. When she came back, He Wan explained it in detail, and she knew it well.

Immediately following 27, 28 to fast.This fasting is nothing more than bathing and changing clothes, no drinking or eating meat, no entertainment, no couple sports, etc. It is not considered complicated.

It's just that Lin Yutong will get up in the middle of the night on the 29th, and today will take a day.It is inconvenient to go to the toilet, and the only thing I can eat is boiled eggs.Eat a few more, and it will save you from being hungry.

So don't say it's easy.The emperor and empress in the palace were also tormented in the same way, even more tormented than her.

They set off before dawn, of course Fourth Master and Hong Hui couldn't see him off.Hong Zhou came over the night before, and got up in the middle of the night to send Lin Yutong, Shushen, and He Wan, the two princesses, over there.Moreover, this silkworm kissing ceremony cannot be completed in one day, Lin Yutong is quite busy on the first day, Liu Su, three kneeling and three prostrations are unavoidable.

She was at the front, and she didn't pay much attention to the people behind.There were too many people looking at her, and she couldn't care less.

By the next day, her task was to sit, to sit in her seat.This day is the bow sang ceremony.If the silkworm is not born, it will be held after the silkworm is born.But the officials who prepared the silkworm ceremony were not fools. How could this happen?On this day, the queen will use gold hooks, the concubines will use silver hooks, and then all carry yellow baskets; others will use red baskets with iron hooks.Holding a hook in her right hand and a basket in her left hand, the queen picks mulberry leaves first, followed by others, singing a song about picking mulberry leaves.

Then the silkworm woman chopped up the mulberry leaves and fed them to the silkworms.After the silkworms make cocoons, the silkworm women select the best ones and present them to the queen, who then presents them to the empress dowager.

Lin Yutong was the queen mother who was sitting there waiting for the queen to offer silkworm cocoons.

Don't ask why you have cocoons after feeding mulberry leaves.According to the ancient rites handed down, this silkworm kissing ceremony would take several days to complete.If the silkworms don't come out, they have to wait.After it comes out and is fed, it has to wait until it becomes a cocoon.After that, on another auspicious day, the empress, the silkworm mother and the silkworm woman reeled some silk by themselves, and dyed it into vermilion, dark yellow and other colors for embroidering sacrificial clothes.The sericulture ceremony is actually a whole process, from raising silkworms to weaving them into fabrics.Calculating the time it took for this set to come down, it will take a few months.But it is definitely not necessary to do this now, and the people who prepared this ceremony also took a lot of effort, anyway, there are silkworms of all stages.It takes two days to finish this process.

But if this is the case, Lin Yutong also thinks this is cumbersome enough.But if you want to simplify it, no one can do this now.After all, Shi Xiaoxian’s pioneering work can be regarded as a symbolic move of the Sinicization of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.Lin Yutong sat on the high platform abruptly for most of the day.It has to sit well, don't move for a while like a spike under the buttocks, so it's not easy.Except for the ceremonial officials, everyone else has their own business, and the princesses and princesses who came back have to participate, that is, the hands of the four princesses are still not good, so they didn't bring them this time.

Lin Yutong watched from above, the queen needed two people to support her.These two people are a nanny and a Tong family.It can be seen that the Tong family is trusted by the queen.Concubine Yu followed behind.Concubine Yu's appearance is not very stunning, she is considered a well-behaved beauty.She tried to follow the queen several times, but was blocked by the nuns beside the queen calmly.Concubine Ling, on the other hand, didn't take the initiative to go anywhere.Stand at the position of the station well-behaved and do what you should do.

The so-called mulberry picking is just a few leaves per person, just pick them off.When it was over, Lin Yutong took the cocoon, and then gave it to the silkworm woman, just stood by and watched the completion of the following process.

The empress had a big belly, Lin Yutong didn't do any unnecessary movements, she finished it quickly, and the empress could go to rest.

The queen had to send Lin Yutong off first, and sat on the phoenix chariot. Lin Yutong looked at the silkworm women and the women watching the ceremony behind him, "You are all selected from all over the world. Post, please go to the academy and tell the girls about it..."

This is a huge surprise.The people below should immediately become one.

Wu Zaku knew a little bit of the inside story, so she smiled and said, "Emperor Mother, even though my daughter-in-law is clumsy, she wants to go and have a look. I don't know if my daughter-in-law can also post a post to join in the fun."

Sixteen Fujin laughed: "Everyone hides clumsiness, but you are not afraid."

Wu Zaku laughed: "It's the new daughter-in-law who has to hide her clumsiness. What is my old daughter-in-law afraid of? Besides, the Queen's mother treats our daughter like that. What is there to be afraid of being known by the Queen's mother? If you lose your shame, you will lose your shame... Know your shame and be brave."

Lin Yutong laughed and said, "I want to change Hongzhou for a better one, but Hongzhou himself can't bear it. What can I do? I can't help my mother! That's all! My son likes it, and my stupid daughter-in-law also recognizes it. Fortunately, This daughter-in-law is a bit stupid, but the elder brother Gege added to the family is all very sweet."

Everyone laughed, knowing that this was a joke between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so they all followed suit.

I just heard the Empress Dowager say: "Go to anyone who wants to go, and ask He Wan for a post. I don't take care of these trivial matters now, and He Wan handles them mostly. This child is filial and careful, and he couldn't be more appropriate. You guys If you have anything to do, just go to her first."

He gave He Wan a big face.

He Jing glanced at He Wan several times, and couldn't help thinking.This seemingly half-joking sentence, to Yu Hewan, she is no longer just a princess Heshuo.

After sending the queen away, Concubine Ling happened to be next to Jing when he boarded the sedan chair, "Princess, I don't know what happened between the emperor and the queen mother... Many things may be different. The princess will go to the empress dowager more often." Go there, Empress Dowager...you are fine in the palace, and paying filial piety to something every now and then is the filial piety of a princess."

He Jing glanced at Concubine Ling, and got into the carriage without saying a word.

The nanny next to He Jing was an old man next to the Empress Xian. On the way, she whispered to He Jing, "Princess, I know that you don't like Concubine Ling. But...Princess, Long Live Lord! Concubine Ling can influence people. Long live Lord, but it can't affect the old sage and the empress dowager. You often walk around the empress dowager, even if something really happens, there is someone hovering in the middle."

He Jing looked out of the car window and didn't speak for a while, finally opened his mouth to speak, but said, "Nurse, I miss my mother-in-law."

It would be great if Erniang was here.Why does she have to do this?

The corner of Mammy's mouth twitched, so what if the queen is alive?There are no hundred-day red flowers!I miss it even more when it's gone, but if it's alive, it may not be so.

But I can't say this to the princess, so I just said: "It's God's will, I can't help it at all. The princess has to take care of herself for the mother."

He Jing responded, turned around and ordered: "Ask someone to tell the son-in-law to take the young son to the garden. Tomorrow, I will go directly from the garden. Tonight, I will have dinner with my grandfather and grandmother."

Mammy was happy now, and arranged for it right away.

Fourth Master was a little unhappy about He Jing's arrival at night.Tongtong has been tired for two days, and she only said to take a rest when she came back, why did she have to come today?

Fourth master didn't ask Lin Yutong to go out, "Just sleep with you. If she wants to stay for dinner, she will stay for dinner. Do you still have to accompany me?"

Then He Jing knew that he was reckless, he didn't see the emperor's grandmother, until the meal, only the emperor's grandfather was there.

He Jing was very disturbed, he was not familiar with the imperial grandfather at all.

Fourth Master pointed to the chair, "Sit quietly. I'll have a few words with you."

He Jing became even more uneasy, she must have upset the emperor's grandfather, she dared not sit down, and stood with her head bowed, "Grandfather, granddaughter is reckless, ignoring the emperor's grandmother..."

"You are the granddaughter of me and your imperial grandmother. When will you come and when will you leave? Who will restrict you? You are here, we can talk to you when we have time. If we don't have time to talk to you, you can do whatever you want. Yes It’s up to you to go outside to play, or to have fun in the garden by yourself. Or if you have nothing to do, come to your imperial grandmother and tell me what you want to eat, and tell me what you want... Your imperial grandmother has nothing to say Your reasoning, I will give you everything that my grandfather can give you. But you, you have acted like a respectful child, but you forgot the most basic word - dear!"

He Jing's mind suddenly exploded, yes!A 'pro' word!Ever since there was no Queen Empress, even with Huang Ama, she has achieved "propriety". She tried her best to play a sensible child and wrapped all her willfulness under the shell of "sensibility". How much is there in it? It's a calculation, but it's more or less sincere.The emperor's grandfather understands, but doesn't Huang Ama understand?

If Huang Ama knew everything, why would she still indulge herself?

He Jing's eye circles turned red all of a sudden, it was because Huang Ama was willing to pamper her.

It's okay to do this for a year or two, but for three to five years, Huang Ama will also tolerate it.But what if it takes a long time?Huang Ama will have more children in the future. At that time, how much favor can I get for a princess who is full of calculations and has no real affection?

She fell to her knees with a puff and cried, "Grandfather, I'm afraid!" The insecurity in her heart became even worse after Huang Ama made a queen.

The fourth master didn't wake her up, "You are born to be more noble than others. You, Ama, want to make up for you alone. From your marriage to every bit of your life. Even when the wind blows, your emperor Ma wants people to see you, you can get the new clothes this year." In front of others, Hongli may not be a good father, but he is really heartfelt to Hejing, "You are the Princess Gulun of the Qing Dynasty, I don’t expect to say that you can bring anything to the Qing Dynasty, but at least you should do your duty as a princess. If you can’t do your duty as a princess, then you should keep your duty as a human being and your sons and daughters. Even if you If you can’t do it, then do your duty as a daughter and a mother. If you want your offspring to enjoy honor, what do you need to do? You have to make good friends with concubines and love brothers. You have to be impartial , but not involved in the inner palace at all..."

Make good friends with concubines, no matter whose son succeeds to the throne, it will not harm her.

If you love your brothers, you will be able to dissociate from future battles for the reserve position and ensure that your husband's family will not be implicated.

Throughout the dynasties, there have been princesses who have done bad things because of this.

The fourth master said: "I know that the Fucha family is your mother's family. You are alive, and your uncles are alive, and your relationship with the Fucha family is iron-clad. What can you do later? How can you be sure that the Fucha family is not Will there be another prince Fujin, or another princess consort?"

At that time, Fucha's family will not only be your and Jing's uncle's family, they will be more tightly tied to your other brothers and sisters.When the time comes, what are you left with?It's nothing more than making wedding clothes for people.

These words sounded like thunder in He Jing's ears: Yes!Yes!It's not possible, it's very possible.

But for such a simple reason, no one has ever pointed her out.She flushed with shame: "Grandfather, granddaughter is wrong."

"Get up when you know you're wrong." Fourth Master called out to set up a meal, "Come and eat with me."

There is a dish of sweet and sour meat with cherries on the dinner table, which she ate when she was eating with her grandmother here last year. After eating a few more chopsticks, she served it again today.Her nose was sore, after all, someone missed her.

"Don't cry, eat." Fourth Master brought some food.

The meal was eaten quietly, and after the meal, he said goodbye, "Come to accompany the imperial grandmother tomorrow."

The fourth master dismissed them with a hum, and He Jing went out. Qian Sheng caught up from behind and handed a wooden box, "Princess, this is what the old sage asked to hand over to you. It was handed over by the old sage and Duanbeile." I made it. It’s a set of moving zodiac signs. I gave one set to each of the two elder brothers of the Big Baylor’s family, and another set to the Prince He’s family. This set is reserved for your family alone. Yes, for the little prince in the house to play with..."

He Jing was taken aback, his expression became more complicated.If the imperial grandfather's grandchildren had children, they would be her, Yonghuang and Yongbi.Yonghuang had two sons, Yongbi had a son, and himself had a son.What the great-grandfather gave to his great-grandson turned out to be the same as what he gave to his great-grandson.

She—Princess Hejing, even if she is a married woman, has never been excluded from the family and relatives.

After returning, she carefully opened the box, took it out and put it in her hand to play with. Not to mention the smoothness of the polishing, the color was also good. When the child saw it, he rushed over to finish it.

The forehead said: "Where did this thing come from? It doesn't look like the craftsmanship of a prisoner."

He Jing smiled, "The emperor's grandfather rewarded it. It rewarded the Dabeile family and the prince's family...and us..."

The forehead was stunned for a moment, and he raised his hand to pat He Jing's back, "From then on, we will often take the children to pay our respects." He looked at her, "Are you feeling very uncomfortable?"

He Jing smiled bitterly, "The queen mother in the palace is my real grandmother. After losing the queen mother, I also want to be close to my grandmother. I think this is someone who can protect me after losing the queen mother. But in fact The Queen Mother... is not such a person. If I can honor her, and if I am more liked by Huang Ama, she will treat me better. If Huang Ama doesn't reward me for a while, she will treat me colder. Then I discovered that the person you feel close to is not necessarily close to you. It is because you have the value of closeness that they are close to you. In this world, except for Huang Ama, I think there is probably no one who is not close to you. Whatever you want to do is good to me. So...it seems that I can't get close to anyone. But today, my heart is open after the emperor's grandfather's scolding. I think of when the queen was alive, every time, the queen When Er Niang saw me, she always said that I did not do well here, and that I did not do well there. Afterwards, no one said it anymore. Huang Ama was probably afraid that I would be scared if I would be reprimanded by him again without Er Niang. It made me sad, so even if I did not do well, Huang Ama never said anything. Forehead, I can tell the difference between good and bad. Huang Ama doesn't discipline me, I know it hurts me. Grandma doesn't discipline me, I know it's perfunctory. But today, the emperor's grandfather scolded me, and I can tell that it hurts too. Who cares about irrelevant people... right?"

right!We are all!

These words reached Qianlong's ears in less than an hour, Qianlong couldn't help sighing, and said to Wu Shu, "Hejing, you are still a child who hasn't grown up."

Wu Shulai hurriedly said: "That's the princess' blessing. Someone pampers the princess, so the princess doesn't have to grow up."

"But only children who haven't grown up can tell the truth from the fake." Qianlong's face turned cold suddenly, "This child has only been in contact with Huang Ama a few times, and she knows that her emperor's grandfather is relative. Even if he The grandfather reprimanded her, and she knew that it was a relationship. But in the palace, how many years have I been with the Queen Mother... This child is still alienated from the Queen Mother from the heart, which shows that the Queen Mother is not close at all. Only I lost this child Heart, but blinded eyes!"

Wu Shulai: "..." Anyway, whatever the Queen Mother is doing now is wrong.I didn't do anything today, just because Princess Gu Lun and his wife raised a few private words, the emperor found out, and wanted to attack again.

All right.This is not too surprising, my master, if he is mean, he is really mean, and if he is ruthless, he is really ruthless.I've been calling her Erniang for 40 years. If I don't recognize her, I really don't recognize her. It's been a long time since I went to pay my respects.A few days ago, the Empress Dowager’s Palace wanted good velvet antler. First, the Empress Dowager wanted to use it as medicine, and second, it was spring. Every time at this time, the Empress Dowager wanted to nourish herself. She had to have a steamed velvet antler every day. However, for some reason, the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not supply it in previous years. Alright, Grandma Gui reminded him twice before it reached his ears. The muttering was heard by the Long Live Lord, and the Long Live Lord said at that time: "The emperor's mother grows what she eats all year round, and she wears dozens of clothes. A piece of cotton cloth that costs a foot, if you need more clothes, you still sew it yourself. Before that, you started to get a loom, and now you have to weave the cloth yourself... Her old man has been working hard all year round, what work is she not doing? I don't see any expensive tonics. The medicinal materials sent to Zhuangzi are used as medicine, and there is no waste. Then why don't you see that there is something wrong with the Queen's mother? On the contrary, the Queen Mother is happy in the palace all day long. But it’s uncomfortable here, and needs to be mended there. It’s too extravagant!”

I don’t know how this word got to the Queen Mother’s ears. The Queen Mother was so fussy looking for a loom, she also said that she would just pretend that she had never had a son, and that she would grow, eat and weave by herself. wear it yourself.Of course, these words are not dared to pass on to the emperor to know.

However, Wu Shulai was suspicious, did the empress dowager outside the palace really plan to weave by herself?

It is true that Lin Yutong got the loom, but it is false that he weaves himself.The looms have been modified, which is of great use.The women sent by the provinces this time are not ordinary women.From the very beginning, Lin Yutong knew that it would not be a woman who didn't understand anything.

Therefore, Lin Yutong chose them to show the improved loom.

At the same time as the pro-silkworm ceremony, the smaller looms had already been set up in the lobby.This thing is definitely not the kind of steam belt now, but its efficiency has been improved.The increase in efficiency is only part of the reason, and part of the reason is that the woven cloth is less affected by the technology of each person.After coming out, it is almost exactly the same level of fineness.

These official wives actually don’t understand much, but several women from various provinces couldn’t help but step forward. A woman in her early thirties couldn’t help asking: "There is an interface here... dare to ask this question?" Can it still be driven by water..."

Lin Yutong glanced at the other party in surprise: "Yes! It can be driven by water conservancy..." She raised her eyes to see the expressions of the people around the audience. Some people were pleasantly surprised and a little frowning.Lin Yutong ordered a young woman who was only about 20 years old, "But is there anything you don't understand?"

The young woman seemed to be frightened, and quickly knelt down.

He Wan smiled and helped him up, "But it doesn't matter. I called everyone here today because the Empress Dowager wanted to hear everyone's opinions."

Seeing that it was the princess who helped her, the young woman became even more afraid to speak.Lin Yutong was not in a hurry, waiting for her to calm down.

After a while, the young woman said with a pale face: "The machine is good... I have never seen such a good machine... It's just that this kind of machine produces good and fast cloth, and no one buys the cloth produced by the small workshop." Quite a few people lost their livelihoods...if there are too many cloths, the prices in the world will not go up...maybe no one will be able to earn money."

It is rare that there is such a person who has not studied economics, but has almost touched the door of economics.

Lin Yutong asked everyone to disperse and sit around, and specially called the young woman to come to him, "Then do you think it is possible for several families to form a joint stock market? If you don't want to form a joint stock market, you can work as an errand in a weaving factory owned by the imperial court if you want to save money. If the weaving factory improves the equipment, it will pay according to the work on a monthly basis. Calculated, it will not be less than the income of the small workshop. As for the price of the cloth you mentioned, don’t worry about it. In a short period of time, most of the cloth produced by this kind of machine is Not for domestic sale. More small weavers need to be given time... Therefore, if this kind of cloth appears on the market, the price will only go up in the short term, and will not go down. It is higher than the price of the cloth woven by various companies."

As soon as these words came out, everyone started talking with a coax.Only the woman stopped talking again, and after a long time, she nervously grabbed her skirt and said, "...but sometimes it's not up to us to decide. There are also silk and cotton production..."

Lin Yutong was pleasantly surprised. She smiled and said, "I really stumbled across a talent. I really met someone who knows how to do it!"

It's busy here, but the palace doesn't know what's busy here.All she knew was that Lin Yutong, the empress dowager, wanted to weave cloth, so the empress summoned the concubines with the same intention, to buy more looms, and from then on the inner palace would be a model for all women in the world.

Lin Yutong wanted to slap the queen when she knew about it: I tossed and tossed and tossed and tossed and tossed so that you could follow the weaving?

It is estimated that Qianlong was furious again.But to be honest, she really didn't intend to cheat the queen.
