Chapter 584; Handling Cotton

The temperature dropped sharply over the next two days, and sparse snowflakes fell at night.

As soon as the weather cooled down, Lu Yaoyao also entered a state of semi-hibernation, and it was impossible to see her going out.

However, she also happened to have a lot of things to do. The Mid-Levels villa was ready, and the housewarming party would definitely be held.

With her current reputation in the capital, it doesn't mean that people won't come if she doesn't invite them.

Therefore, since everyone is coming, it is better to just send out invitations and invite everyone who should be invited, rather than others taking the initiative to come.

Of course, it is not only because of this, but also because of the Lu family and the Jin Palace.

Let's not talk about the Lu family. They are considered to be the new rich in the capital. Although they have a name in the capital, their background is still too shallow. Taking this opportunity can be regarded as making more friends, so that the Lu family can be more in touch with the old dignitaries in the capital.

Walk around a bit to increase friendship.

Let’s talk about Prince Jin’s Mansion. Next year, she will also take charge of Prince Jin’s Mansion and become the head mistress.

At that time, there are some things that we can no longer ignore as we do now, and many human relationships need to be maintained.

Taking this opportunity, she also planned to get to know these powerful people in the capital.

It has to be said that she has been famous in the capital for several years, but she knows only a few dignitaries whom she can name at a glance, except for those who often move around.

It just so happens that the eldest princess is in the villa now. This person is one of the top old dignitaries in the capital. He knows many people and knows many things.

You can learn a lot by asking for advice.

The eldest princess naturally knew everything she wanted to ask for.

Especially after knowing that she was preparing to enter Prince Jin's palace in the future, she was even more happy.

He told her about the powerful people in the capital one by one, and even told her clearly the likes and dislikes of many powerful people.

She also told her all the other people who were close to them, had a deep friendship with them, what they were like, and whether they were worthy of a close friendship.

Lu Yaoyao also had nothing to do. He listened carefully every time and remembered it carefully.

"There are too many people. Just by saying this, you can't tell them apart even if you remember them."

"Tomorrow the envoys from Bei Chu will come to Beijing. It is estimated that the emperor will hold a banquet to entertain the envoys from Bei Chu the night after tomorrow. By then, all the dignitaries in the capital who are famous will be present."

"You will go when the time comes, and I will introduce them to you one by one."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao nodded repeatedly. She was almost always invited to such banquets.

"You said these people are also strange. Why do you choose winter every time you come here?"

"Is this the case in Xirong? Is it the same in Beichu?"

Qiu Yu next to her couldn't help but laugh when she heard her young lady's words.

Thinking back to the past few banquets I attended, weren't they all in winter?

Her young lady is most afraid of the cold. Every time she goes to these banquets, she complains for a long time.

"Maybe it's because there are fewer things in winter."

In the farming era, wasn’t winter the least important thing?

It's freezing cold outside, so I can't do anything I want to do but stay home.

When I get bored, I go out to do things I don’t have time to do in my daily life, such as traveling far away.

"Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"Your Highness the Princess doesn't know something. The princess is most afraid of the cold and won't go out when it gets cold."

Qiu Yu answered from the side.

Hearing this, the eldest princess was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "So that's it, I don't like to go out in winter, but I have no choice, there are some banquets that I have to go to."

"Well, I know."

"But our clothes are really thin, so we have to think of ways to get some warm clothes."

"By the way, Qiu Yu, I remember earlier, didn't we ask Sister Miaomiao that she wanted some Baidianzi seeds? Later, I asked someone to plant them. How is the situation?"

"Baidiezi?"

Qiu Yu was startled, never remembering when she had such a thing.

"I don't know. I've been busy since then, so I haven't paid much attention to it. How about I ask Sister Qiu Shuang."

"Well, go and ask."

After Qiu Yu left, the eldest princess asked curiously, "Bai Diezi, I also have some in my palace, aren't they just for viewing flowers?"

"Sister Huang, you are wrong. This Baidianzi is a good thing."

"But it's a good thing to fight against the cold weather. It's because I was too busy in the past period and didn't pay much attention to it."

"The weather this year is getting colder earlier than last year, and I guess it will be even colder by then."

"If there are too many white stacks, I will prepare some gifts for Sister Huang so that you can live more comfortably this winter."

"oh?"

The eldest princess was quite interested and immediately asked about Bai Diezi.

Lu Yaoyao didn't hide anything, and explained the function of the white stack.

"Is it really as magical as you say?"

"It's not really magical. It doesn't look very good. It's just that it's not easy for people to discover its true use."

While the two were talking, Qiu Yu had already found Qiu Shuang and asked about Bai Diezi.

Qiu Shuang was stunned before, but soon remembered that such a thing was indeed happening.

After asking a few people, I took Qiu Yu to the warehouse where the white stacks were stacked.

This thing was planted by Lu Yaoyao. Although the people involved have forgotten about it, the people below still tried their best to complete the things the princess told them.

However, I didn’t plant much at the beginning. When I got busy later, I didn’t ask if I wanted to expand, but I still knew how to plant some.

Therefore, there are still many piles in the warehouse.

"So many?"

"I don't know what the lady wants this thing to be used for."

"I'll ask first."

Not long after, Qiu Yu returned to the village and explained the situation to Lu Yaoyao.

"Say less than a thousand pounds? Okay, okay."

"Qiu Yu, go quickly and find two carpenters for me, and ask the women in the village who have nothing to do and are good at making clothes and bedding to come over. I need their help with something."

Hearing this, Qiu Yu quickly stepped back, while Lu Yaoyao stood up and said to the eldest princess, "Sister Huang, please wait for a moment, I have to draw something, I will need it later."

"Well, go ahead."

Lu Yaoyao turned around and walked towards the study room on the side. He came out in just half a quarter of an hour.

What she drew was used to peel off the white sheets, which are the seeds inside cotton.

It's just a gadget that a carpenter can understand as soon as he gets the drawing.

"How long does it take to make it ready?"

"Don't worry, Princess, such gadgets can be made in a while, but I don't know how many Miss Princess wants?"

"I'll make ten for use first, and I'll make more later. I'll send two to every household on the farm."

The carpenter agreed repeatedly and left with the drawings in hand.

On the same day, Lu Yaoyao ordered people to sort out the cotton in the warehouse, collect all the seeds, and asked Qiu Shuang to distribute some from house to house next year. There was no need to plant too much, as long as one or two acres of land was enough.

There isn't much else on her farm, just a lot of land. One or two acres of land is no big deal.
