Farming Beneath the Changbai Mountains

The men were talking in front, and of course the women were gathered in a group, chattering in the backyard. "Eldest sister, look at the second sister, she can actually make clothes like this. They look pretty good on her." Jingxian put on the clothes given by Jinghan and walked around in circles.

What Jinghan gave to Jingxian was a rose-red woolen coat. The hem of the coat reaches above the knees, with large lapels trimmed with snow-white fox fur. The waist has been nipped in, making Jingxian's small waist look less than a handful. The lower body is a rose red woolen skirt with black plaid, and a light pink turtleneck sweater underneath. This outfit was simply stunning, and Jingxian jumped for joy.

Jingya looked at Jingxian's outfit and kept nodding, "It's so beautiful. It gets warmer here earlier than our place, so you can wear it after a while. I think it's better to keep it as new clothes for the New Year. This Wearing clothes is the only one in the entire capital, and there is no place for others to buy them. "

Jingwan and Xiuyun couldn't help but nod, "Isn't it? Speaking of it, Jingxian's outfit is still beautiful. She is not married, and her waist is so thin that she looks good no matter what she wears. But we can't do it anymore. Look, Jingwan is now five months pregnant. Thanks to Jinghan, the clothes were made to accommodate her big belly. Otherwise, she would have to wear these clothes after giving birth." Xiuyun said while holding her son. "I'm also a little fat. I don't know how I can wear these clothes."

"Sister-in-law, you haven't gained much weight. It doesn't matter. You must look good in it." Jingya smiled. This woman really can't wear beautiful clothes once she gets married and has children. Like her, the eldest child is just over a year old, and she is pregnant with the second child. A woman's life is to give birth to children. When the children grow up, I will also be old, and nothing I wear will look as good as when I was young.

Several women tried on the clothes one by one. Thanks to Jinghan's thought, none of the clothes made for Jingya and the three of them were waist-cinching. It's the kind that radiates directly from the chest down. It feels a little like maternity wear. Naturally, your belly can't be seen when you wear it, and it also looks pretty good. But it's just a bit shorter than Jingxian's, otherwise it would be too long.

"To be honest, what I'm most optimistic about are men's clothes. I feel that when worn on them, these clothes will make them look very tall and handsome, and they will have more of a flavor than what we wear." Xiuyun and these few The two sisters-in-law get along very well. Now that we are all in the capital, we naturally have to help each other more.

"I don't know if they have finished talking. We should call all these men over and put on clothes for us to see." Jingya also thinks that men will look good in these clothes.

Bai Wei was a smart person. When she heard this, she ran forward quickly and came back shortly. "Madam, some of the gentlemen are still talking there. It seems that Prince Fu is about to enter the palace."

This year's gift included something for the emperor, and everyone knew that Mingyu was probably going to the palace to deliver something to him. "Okay, let's get down to business. Jinghan is having a hard time in that place. Let's quickly prepare more good things and send them back to her. Jinghan is also pregnant. This is a good thing. Let's take a look. Get something for her?" Jingya suggested.

"Of course, prepare more delicious food. Second sister is pregnant now, so she needs to take a good supplement. Besides, I think it's better to send an old woman over, preferably one who can deliver babies. Yunfei gave it to me from The palace found two female doctors who used to take care of the concubines and deliver babies. It would be better to give one to the second sister. It is very dangerous for this woman to give birth. We can say that in the capital. There are imperial doctors and so on. I'm afraid there aren't even any good doctors at the second sister's side. I'm really worried." Jingwan was thinking more.

Everyone unanimously agreed on this method. Fortunately, these women were all born in the palace and had no relatives. They were specifically pointed to this line of work to provide for the elderly. As long as their masters pay enough, they can go anywhere.

"Hey, you said that the second sister gave us these clothes, do you want to build a workshop specializing in making this kind of material? In fact, I think this thing is really good, just this one, we can almost survive the winter in the south. If the second sister If sister can build a workshop, we might as well build a shop in the capital that specializes in selling this material and making ready-made clothes. This is a good deal. By the way, we can also add down jackets. Uncle Yue’s down jackets will be sold this year. Have you come to the capital? "Jingxian and Jinghan are the two most in tune with each other, so they can guess Jinghan's thoughts the best.

When several women heard this, their eyes immediately lit up. After staying in the capital for more than half a year, they realized that living in the capital was not easy. Money is needed everywhere, and the small salary of a man is simply not enough. If everyone didn't have some money, it would be really difficult.

"Okay, isn't this easy? Let's pool some money and set up a shop. Don't just sell these. I think that sweater is good. Get some wool to sell, and then find some people to learn from it. Zhi, can’t we make money this way?” Jingya said.

Several women talked about opening a shop here, and the more they talked about it, the more feasible it became. So Jingxian wrote a letter to Jinghan, asking Jinghan not to sell the fabric to others, but to leave it to her own family to run. "How can this good thing be so cheap for outsiders?"

Wenhan and the others were almost done talking, so everyone went home to prepare things for Jinghan. Jingxian lives in Wenhan's house, so she doesn't need to go anywhere, she just stays in the house with her sister-in-law.

Jingxian has a lot to learn now. Mingyu specially invited his mother's dowry girl, a woman he called Cui Aunt, to follow Jingxian and teach Jingxian various rules. Jingxian didn't object to this. Mingyu's identity was there, so she couldn't let Mingyu be laughed at, right? Besides, this Aunt Cui is not bad, she is a very nice person, and the two of them get along very harmoniously. Jingxian learned a lot from Aunt Cui.

Mingyu brought things into the palace to meet the emperor. The guards guarding the palace gate felt strange when they saw it. What did Prince Fu do with all these things? But they didn't dare to ask any more questions, so they had to help transport everything in and find a place to store it properly. Ming Yuzhi went to the emperor with a set of clothes and a letter written by Zixuan.

In the imperial study, Li Mingrui had just finished reading the memorial and was about to take a break when he heard that Mingyu was here. Let Mingyu come in quickly, and the two brothers can talk for a while.

"Mingyu, what are you holding?" Li Mingrui asked when he saw Mingyu coming in with clothes in his arms. He knew they were clothes, but he had never seen anything like this material.

"Brother Huang, this is something that my second sister tinkered with in the north. Did you happen to send someone to Beijing to deliver New Year's gifts? Brother Huang also has a share, so I brought it." Mingyu put the things next to him. on the desk. "Brother, there is a letter here, written by the second brother-in-law. He was afraid that the memorial would not be delivered to you, so he gave it to me first."

The emperor took the letter and read it carefully. The letter just wrote about some of the local features in Zhendong County and some of the things Zixuan did when he got there. At the same time, it also said something about the moon bubble. When the emperor saw that the emperor of Beiyuan Kingdom used to fish and hunt in Yueyuanbao and have a big fish feast, his heart was moved. "Mingyu, are there some fish in the things you brought?"

"Yes, I heard from the person who brought the things that there is one of the largest fish called the head fish, which weighs more than thirty kilograms. It was given to the emperor brother." Mingyu nodded quickly.

"Tell me to go down and store the things that King Fu just sent me. I will also have a fish feast someday, and the king and his ministers will enjoy it together." Li Mingrui waved his hand, and the eunuch next to him hurried out.

"Getting Lin Zixuan over there seems to be the right step. The only thing is that Princess Ning'an suffers a lot. She follows her husband in such a poor place and has to help with planning and hard work." Li Mingrui couldn't call directly. Jinghan's name, so he directly called Jinghan's title.

"Brother Imperial, the second sister is not an ordinary woman. She will not feel pain, she will only enjoy it." Mingyu said with a smile. He knows more about Jinghan and his temperament. "Brother Imperial, you were right not to trap her in the palace. Look at the clothes she made. I dare say that next year this will definitely become a must-have for the nobles in the capital."

Li Mingrui looked at the clothes and asked, "Can I wear this?"

"Brother Huang, you might as well try it on." Mingyu smiled.

Someone came over nearby and served the emperor to change into this suit of clothes. The basic style is similar to Zixuan's, except that the color changes to light brown with black stripes. The pants are also dark cyan, and the sweater underneath is off-white. The emperor was already very handsome, and when he put on such clothes, the maids and eunuchs next to him all stared at him.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty wears these clothes, he looks really energetic." A eunuch who seemed to be close to the emperor said with a smile.

"Brother Imperial, how do you feel? The clothes inside are called sweaters, which are made of wool spun and knitted. The outer fabric is called woolen, which is also made of wool spun and then woven with a loom. "This is the idea that the second sister came up with. She saw that the wool sheared by the herdsmen there could only be rolled into felt blankets and could not be used for anything else, so she thought of using wool to make clothes." Mingyu was very proud. said.

Li Mingrui let out a long sigh, "You're right. It was definitely a wise move not to trap her in this deep palace. The fabric is thick and the sweater is very warm. I think it will be of great use. I will wear it when I have it. I’m curious, what’s going on in Ning An’s mind? How can she come up with such good ideas?”

"Didn't the Imperial Brother know? People say that the second sister is the reincarnation of the Dragon Girl. I guess she is here to help the Imperial Brother. The Dragon Girl is originally from the Dragon Clan, so naturally she and the Imperial Brother are brothers and sisters. If she is the reincarnation of the Phoenix, then that's it. He should be a good match for the emperor's brother." Mingyu was still afraid that the emperor would be confused, so he said this.
