Chapter 117 Wood
After being complimented by his son and woman, Kangxi finally found a familiar feeling and looked happy.
Mingxuan wanted to compliment someone, so she said nice words without any money, but she said what she said was sincere, and her compliments were true, without any falsehood, as if they came from the bottom of her heart.
Yinfeng has won her true biography, and Yinzhen follows in his brother's footsteps in everything.It took a lot of brainpower to find out from my mind some things that Han Ama did to me that should be of concern, and then express my feelings.
Kangxi's simple pleasure at the beginning has turned into enjoyment. This unpretentious truth made him feel that it was worthwhile to bring them out in the busiest time.
He even unintentionally confided his thoughts about going out in the next few years.
No draft?Ming Xuan didn't care whether he was going to Mongolia or Jiangnan.
Although there are thousands of beauties in China, but...as a salted fish, there is nothing that can delay Mingxuan's enjoyment.
But now... Mingxuan feels that she can still do well when she thinks about the draft and becomes bald.
Going out for a walk and seeing the beautiful scenery that cannot be seen in modern times, Mingxuan felt that there was no need to hesitate at all, she chose it!choose it!Don't be afraid of fatigue and hard work, the scenery is so beautiful, don't regret it!
If you choose to travel, you have to keep yourself safe, so Ming Xuan boasted even more from the bottom of her heart.
Kangxi, who was praised for being comfortable all over, complained to Liang Jiugong afterwards. Some people are too restrained. They pay so much attention to themselves, but they still deliberately show that they don't care on weekdays.
Liang Jiugong instantly understood who he was talking about?He lowered his head and controlled his expression, pretending not to understand.Why didn't he see that Concubine Xian had any deliberate intentions?
As the first person to know that the emperor will go out to escape the summer heat next year, Mingxuan felt that she had endured too much. Ever since she made it clear that she wanted to go, Kangxi's approach was somewhat confusing.
First, on his birthday, he received a jewel that was said to be extremely noble, which seemed to be something Tong Guifei couldn't even want.
Then she asked herself to ask for something, sometimes it was just a painting, but more often, it made Mingxuan feel...unpleasant...
This person is teasing himself?
In the palace, there is the little Niu Hulu who looks like a fairy, the peerless beauty Wei, and the concubine Tong who has always been tender to the emperor, and even the bright and straightforward Concubine Yi... Could it be that having so many is not enough, and wanting to Tease yourself?
If he had just entered the palace and had no one to rely on and no position, Ming Xuan would have followed suit.After all, people have to live to be able to live the life they want to live.
but now?Ming Xuan stopped talking.Even if it was hanging on to avoid the summer heat, Ming Xuan didn't bother, she just couldn't understand and couldn't move.
She has status, the favor of the prince, and the support of the empress dowager. To be honest...the awe she had for the emperor at the beginning is very little now.
Anyway, I don't seek rebellion, I don't cuckold him, and I don't participate in those messy things in the palace. The basic needs of living have been completely preserved.
man?When she didn't have any physical needs, Ming Xuan didn't really need them.
Kangxi didn't have much experience in seductiveness either. The women in the harem all offered to throw themselves into their arms. The first time the other party didn't pick up, Kangxi didn't think much about it.
He was confident that Ming Xuan had him in his heart, but after a long time, Kangxi understood that the other party was a fool and couldn't understand his hints at all.
Seeing her foolishly flying a kite with Yinreng, who had a rare rest, and teasing the little four-legged sprinter, but when she was laughing, she accidentally fell into the flowers...
This brain is five years old at most, no more!
Kangxi couldn't see it and turned away.
Kangxi's hint came suddenly, and also left suddenly.
While Ming Xuan was still thinking of a countermeasure, she suddenly disappeared...
In addition to being pleasantly surprised, Ming Xuan felt that God had opened her eyes.Fortunately, I didn't take over, otherwise how ugly would it be?
Mingxuan felt that Kangxi didn't care anymore and the matter was over, but she didn't know that during this period of time Kangxi treated her differently was seen and remembered by others.
"The harem is still stable now." Even the Empress Dowager sighed to Kangxi, and Concubine Tong and others spoke harsh words in front of him.
Kangxi smiled and said, "Grandson didn't do anything." It was just a response to a woman who liked him, and Kangxi felt a little displeased.
The Empress Dowager didn't say much, but touched the cashmere sweater sent by Kangxi, and asked, "Is it really made of wool?"
Kangxi nodded, for this he planned for more than half a year. The workshop in the suburbs of Beijing, plus Mingxuan's own small workshop, although the cashmere yarn produced could not supply the Eight Banners, it was still enough for the generals of the Qing Dynasty and the princes of Mongolia. of.
And there are woolen threads that are cheaper and simpler to make.
Those folk women are really capable, and they can weave a set of clothes within a day of familiarity.
But such speed is not for everyone.
Later, the Ministry of Industry also modified the loom so that women only need to sew simply every day, so that a woman can often make several sets of clothes in a day.
Washing, drying, screening, playing, and then spinning, clothing...
Kangxi prepared for more than six months, hired thousands of women, and worked overtime to make only [-] to [-] sets of woolen sweaters.
When the first snow fell, half of these clothes were sent to the imperial army by him.For the remaining half, the Eight Banners will fight to break the sky.
The woolen sweater is light, thin and warm, and armor is put on it. It is more convenient than the bloated cotton coat and is very popular.
But such good clothes were sent to the army by the emperor who exhausted his "private treasury".
Each set of clothes has a special label on it, which says imperial...
Every soldier who receives it is warm on the body and warm in the heart.
Kangxi's original intention was to win over people's hearts, but with 10,000+ taels of silver, he could reap such results, and he was naturally in a good mood.
Sweaters were only for the army at the beginning, and it was basically impossible for others to want them. Kangxi was very strict about military funding.
As for the cashmere coat, it was an annual gift he bestowed on the important ministers and veteran clans of the court.
Although Mingxuan had already had them, when Kangxi distributed them to the harem, they were red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple, giving her seven sets generously.Tong Guifei is only five sets.
For a while, everyone in the palace was proud to wear the cashmere coat bestowed by the emperor.After Mingxuan drifted with the crowd for a while, she decisively changed into a padded jacket. The big padded jacket is the eternal god of Xuetian, and her status can never be shaken.
When woolen sweaters were being sought after by the whole palace, Yongshou Palace, which was the first to discover woolen yarn, already had woolen sweaters under their clothes.The whole palace was idle and sat together, knitting sweaters around the stove.
Yinfeng and Yinzhen even have cashmere socks and cashmere hats.
Mingxuan was infected by them, even though her hand was crippled, she still stubbornly wove a pair of woolen socks for Yinfeng.
Even though they are one big and one small, one is loose and the other is tight, Yinfeng is still very happy to wear it on his feet.
Seeing that Yinfeng liked it so much aroused Mingxuan's only competitive spirit. The scarf was the only thing that was simpler than socks. After nearly two months, Mingxuan finally got a cashmere scarf, and then vowed never to touch it again. This stuff.
But seeing Yinrong wearing a sky blue scarf, wearing a dark blue hat, with handsome features, made Mingxuan want to dress him up again.
Designed countless drawings of hats for the little maid to study.
Soon, Yinreng became the person with the most cashmere hats in the palace.
My aunt doesn't like herself after shaving her head. The first thing Yinfeng does when she wakes up every day, sad and happy, is to choose a woolen hat to wear on her head.
If Yinreng has one, he will spend some money to do the same for Yinzhen, since he is his adopted younger brother after all.
The young lady of Yongshou Palace, the second girl, has become very rich this year. She has become the most sought after person in Yongshou Palace. She even has someone to serve her. She brings water and food in the morning and evening, and massages...
Er Niu's little life is nourishing, busy and happy.
It was not until the Chinese New Year was approaching that there were not many woolen shops on the market.Even many parts of the country seem to have popped up overnight.
At this time, everyone already knows that this thing is extremely warm, not to mention the extremely expensive cashmere thread, wool thread is also divided into several grades, some are brightly colored, soft to the touch, and smell fragrant.Some are rough to the touch and have a bit of a smell.
The cheapest woolen thread can make clothes for five or six members of the family for just one or two taels of silver, and this thread can be disassembled and re-weaved when the children grow up.
There are even women sitting there knitting in woolen shops every day. Those who don’t know how to do it buy thread and can learn it quickly.
Even though there are many shops, they are in short supply every day.
This shop looks like a royal business. After all, the woolen clothes were given to the soldiers by the emperor in the first place. Even if they are tempted by this, few people will be distracted by it.
The price of the roughest woolen thread has been kept extremely low, and workshops have appeared in many places, where women are called to make clothes, and there is a huge temptation to take away one set after making ten sets, making woolen clothes very leading this winter. It has become a trend, and the whole country can't help talking about it.
When Kangxi was flattered by the compliments, he came here to ask Mingxuan if he really didn't want this reputation?
"Isn't it all exchanged? Doesn't the emperor want to regret it?" Mingxuan said bluntly, after Yinfeng's current studies removed the fatigue at the beginning, he is now familiar with this intensity.
If Kangxi regrets it at this time, she will be very angry!Very angry very angry!
Kangxi looked at her wary face, sighed in his heart, rubbed his forehead and said: "Okay, I know! I don't regret it."
After finishing speaking, Kangxi couldn't help but said to Mingxuan: "Are you really stupid?"
Ming Xuan was stunned, and asked in confusion, "Where is the concubine so stupid?"
It's true that I'm not smart, but I'm not stupid, right?
On the contrary, Ming Xuan felt that among the women in the harem, she was pretty smart, at least she could stay awake and not be captured by sugar-coated bullets.
Kangxi couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and said, "Okay, I know you're not stupid."
Mingxuan immediately nodded and said, "Of course the concubines are not as good as the emperor, and there are Baocheng and the others, but they are definitely the IQ of normal people, and they are definitely not stupid."
Kangxi had nothing to say, turned around and left.If you talk to her again, you will be pissed off.
"It's not that warm, is it?" When it was snowing, Mingxuan still wore a woolen sweater and a cotton jacket, some didn't understand how Tong Guifei and the others could survive the winter with cashmere coats?
Even if you wear two sets, it is not as warm as a cotton jacket?
At the New Year's banquet, Ming Xuan, who was wrapped in a padded jacket, seemed to be twice as round as Concubine Tong Guifei who was sitting behind her.
"The body is the most important thing." Yinreng sat beside Mingxuan, wearing a big scarf, with a bright smile on his face.
Yinzhen also wore gloves on his hands, and it was snowing heavily on New Year's Eve, so Yinzhen was wrapped round and round by his dear prince brother.
After hearing what the prince's elder brother said, Yinzhen echoed: "Yes! I'm freezing, and it's me who suffers, not others?" The typhoid fever person who ran out to play in the snow last month had a personal comprehension.
Kangxi had a brazier by his side and a woolen blanket on his legs, so he didn't want to take a second look at these three unique ones.Except for calling Yinfeng over halfway, to toast his uncle and masters.
During the banquet in the snow, Kangxi received a lot of compliments, and even gave him a Wanmin umbrella when he came back.
Just when Kangxi was full of ambitions and high spirits, just entered the 22nd year, a large number of people fell ill in the harem...
