Liu E was quite satisfied with Ye An's serious and responsible "work attitude", but she kept looking at him with a smile, as if she wanted to marry her daughter to him.
For a person with such a high position, showing such a smile made the hairs on the back of Ye An's neck stand up.
Liu E was undoubtedly a shrewd woman, and would not look at herself and laugh for no reason. As expected, when Ye An followed the silly smile with a shy face, Liu E's expression changed: "You are a tough guy, the wounds on your hands are bleeding.
Can you lead the officials to dig trenches? Why, such a trivial matter is not worth reporting to this palace?"
Ye An knew that it was about his robbery, so he stretched out the gauze that had been dyed red and said: "Ye An's hand is fine, it's just a bruise on the flesh. It would be best if there is a needle and thread to suture it."
Liu E sneered and said: "You think your injury is a leather bag? It can be cured by sewing it with a needle and thread!"
Ye An nodded seriously: "Sage, Holy Ming! It would be even better if he could also give you medicine for your wounds!"
Seeing that Ye An only mentioned the incident of the attack, Liu E was furious: "Chen Lin went to get needles and threads, and also got some wound medicine from the Imperial Medicine Institute. I want to see how he used needles and threads to treat wounds!"
Lan Jizong had already winked at Ye An anxiously. In his opinion, it was nonsense to suture the wound with needles and threads, but Ye An looked at the sky and pretended not to have seen it.
He really didn't want to tell Liu E the news he knew, and he didn't even plan to tell Chen Lin and Lan Jizong.
Once some things are spoken out, it will be much more troublesome to deal with them by yourself.
Judging from Liu E's attitude, Wang Zhen and even the Imperial City Division did not find anything from those corpses.
Chen Lin left just as quickly as he came. The waiter who had to jog to keep up with him placed a tray in front of Ye An. On the tray was not only needle and thread, but also a knife, scissors and clean gauze.
Everyone was staring at Ye An, but he didn't care. He calmly lifted off the red gauze, revealing his pale skin.
Fortunately, the wound was not deep and no tendons were injured, otherwise the hand would have been disabled. Ye An actually did not dare to be careless.
I asked Lan Jizong for a fire stick, blew on it, lit it, sterilized the knife and needle, and cut off the excess flesh.
A young man sat on a stone, quietly sewing his palms stitch by stitch, as if he was sewing a "purse" with concentration.
This scene, even in broad daylight, made everyone's hair stand on end.
Liu E's face turned pale and she bit her lower lip tightly. Lan Jizong frowned and his face was drained of blood. Only Chen Lin stared at Ye An's hand intently.
Such wounds were not a big deal to Ye An. He had no fewer than ten wounds on his body, and his arm was shot through. Because the situation was urgent, he recited the case while receiving emergency treatment, without even taking anesthetics.
I know my body. It may be related to the physical changes in the Song Dynasty. Even the recovery speed has been a little faster, but the pain has increased slightly. This shows that my body has become more sensitive, which is a good thing.
Although it is a thin thread, it is still too thick for Ye An. He stared at Chen Lin who was as curious as a baby and said: "Sir, can't you find a piece of silk thread? It will be more troublesome to remove the stitches in the future!"
Chen Lin nodded slightly but still stared at Ye An's hand closely and said: "Old slave, I will make a note of it and change the silk thread for you next time. This kapok thread is also of the highest quality. It was a tribute from the envoys of the Western Regions. It is strong.
So tight!”
Ye An was suddenly startled, and then stared closely at the cotton thread in his hand. He didn't react just now, but now he realized that the thread in his hand was cotton!
Kapok is kapok, and cotton is cotton. The two are not the same.
The fluff of kapok can also be used as stuffing for pillows and bedding, but the amount is small and the thermal insulation effect is not good, but cotton is different, so Ye An once discovered a huge business opportunity...
Cotton is not native to China. In the era when there was no cotton, rich people wore silk and satin as clothing, while ordinary people could only cover their bodies with fabrics such as linen and kudzu. The clothes looked like pieces of sacks, so they were called "brown".
Brown clothes have always been a symbol of the common people. If an ordinary person becomes an official, he is called "Zhu Brown".
Among Ye An's rewards for becoming the founding prince was a silk cotton robe. Although it was just a piece of clothing, Xuan'er kept it away like a treasure and took it out from time to time to ventilate and pat it.
The silk is beaten into wadding to make silk cotton, which is then stuffed into clothing or quilts to become silk cotton robes or silk quilts.
Silk cotton is still a good product for keeping out the cold in later generations. It has a soft texture, good warmth retention, and is also moisture-proof. It is the most ideal thermal insulation material in winter. However, it is still limited by cost reasons and the people who choose the factory cannot afford it.
Making silk cotton requires a large amount of silk, so it is expensive. Rich people can also wear animal furs in winter, such as mink and fox fur, which are excellent ways to keep out the cold. These clothes are extremely expensive. A fox fur
It costs a lot of money, and ordinary people dare not even hope for it.
To make money and benefit the people, cotton is the best product that changes the rules of keeping warm in this era.
Thinking of this, Ye An suddenly felt that the scar on his hand was no longer so painful. He casually tied the broken needle and thread on the brocade stool beside him, and Chen Lin screamed like a night owl.
Voice………………
Ye An was almost kicked out of the palace by Lan Jizong. His performance just now really scared the saint. How could anyone suture his own wounds like this?
To this day, Lan Jizong still thinks that Ye An is using his own pain to rebuff the saint's questions.
"There are many ways for a courtier to refuse a duel. There is no need to use such cruel methods. This will only make the saint think you are cruel and ruthless!"
Ye An smiled bitterly and shook his head. Seeing Lan Jizong staring at him helplessly, he said: "This is the best way. Sir, you see my hand is no longer bleeding and the stitches will be removed in a few days. Why don't you believe me?"
?!"
“It won’t bleed even after applying the gold wound medicine!”
"Can that be the same?"
Looking at Ye An's firm eyes, Lan Jizong softened slightly: "Is your method really effective? It's really unbelievable..."
"We'll see the truth in a few days. Why don't you believe me?"
"The saint asked you to talk about the robbery and murder. Just don't talk about it. Why did you go to stab Chen Lin!"
Ye An grabbed Lan Jizong and said: "Sir Lan, I hope you can help me make an appointment with Senior Official Chen. I have opened a tavern in Daxiangguo Temple. I hope Senior Official Chen will show my favor. Ye An will definitely treat me with good wine and good food!"
Lan Jizong looked at Ye An suspiciously and said: "Really? A certain family heard that Li Gongwu and his friends Yang Yi and Zen Master Chu Yuan Ciming passed out drunk in your tavern. The name of "unparalleled wine" became famous in Tokyo for a while.
It’s so noisy!”
Ye An took the time to say shyly: "There, there, Senior Officer Lan is over-praised, over-praised."
Lan Jizong sneered with a puffy belly: "But I also heard that you haven't even invited old friends like Mr. Yuanbo and Wang Xueshi to have a banquet. How can I, the eunuchs in the palace, be so embarrassed to go?"
Ye An was stunned for a moment and then frowned and said: "The tavern has just opened. I thought the tung oil in the store had a strong smell, so I didn't invite Mr. Yuanbo and Bachelor Wang. Even my master, Mr. Guanmiao, came and left. How could this happen?"
rumor?"
Lan Jizong sighed and said: "A big tree attracts the wind. Do you know that as soon as your nameless tavern comes out, people will start spreading gossip about you? Personal morality is the best way to spread rumors and slander. You have to be careful."
some."
Ye An nodded but suddenly said: "Whose interests will my tavern infringe on?"
Lan Jizong was slightly startled: "This is not certain. After all, there are many restaurants in Tokyo, and there are also a few main stores. Among them, the Xungui clan industry is mixed in, and it is very complicated!"
Ye An nodded slowly, and then said: "Please worry about Senior Officer Chen, Ye An will definitely sweep the couch to welcome you!"
