"Hao, let's go into the palace and see the emperor's wife."
"Okay, we will enter the palace early tomorrow morning."
Meng Xinzhu couldn't help but be stunned when she saw the wool and the banknotes that Eunuch Chen had brought back. She asked Eunuch Chen carefully what happened. Although she felt that things seemed to be going too smoothly, she did not continue to think about it. She looked at the banknotes.
He gave 300 taels of it to Eunuch Chen and the other three, and told them to settle down their families. After all, this was probably one of Concubine Zhu's wishes.
The most important thing now is to deal with the wool, but the problem arises next. Neither Ru'er nor Lianhua knows how to twist the wool into thread.
Meng Xinzhu could only shake her head, "Xiao Chenzi, do you know where I can twist them into thread?"
"Go back to your Majesty, there should be someone in the weaving department in the palace who knows how to do it, but..."
"Forget it, I understand." Ru'er has already said it today. Now that Zhu Fei is no longer someone to fawn over, who will care about such strange things. This is the world in a cold world, and people are always very realistic.
Hongde Longqiu and Xiao Zhao practiced kung fu for a while at Yuekang Mountain, and then stood in the garden on the top of the mountain with their hands behind their backs. His eyes stopped in the direction of the Bamboo Garden. I wonder if the injury on her hand is better? It rained recently.
It was raining very frequently. Did she get wet in the rain again?
"Xiao Zhao, is there any news about the people sent near Zhuyuan?" Finally, he couldn't help but ask her about her situation.
"Back to the emperor, the Bamboo Concubine has been very quiet recently, nothing unusual." Quiet? Hongde Long Qiu frowned, Xiao Zhao looked at him and continued, "It's just that today the Bamboo Concubine exchanged the pearl you gave me for wool.
"Yes, I have made arrangements after learning about this matter, and now the empress has obtained the wool."
Hongde Longqiu turned around and looked in the direction of Zhuyuan. What new tricks was she playing?
Early the next morning, when Meng Xinzhu was worrying about how to deal with the wool, the tenth prince and the princess suddenly came. After a while of greetings, Meng Xinzhu said seriously: "Sister Yu'er, I have something to ask you for help."
"Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, just tell me!"
Hongde Longhao looked at Meng Xinzhu. After knowing her for so long, this was the first time she asked for help. It seemed that it must be related to the imperial brother.
"I want to twist wool into thread, but I can't find such a person in the palace. You know many people outside the palace. I wonder if there are people in this field?"
Hongde Longhao and Yu'er couldn't help but be stunned. Meng Xinzhu's request was completely different from what they expected.
After understanding Meng Xinzhu's thoughts, the tenth prince and his wife prepared to leave the palace to help her find someone who could twist her thread.
"Hao, I think the emperor's sister-in-law doesn't seem to care about the emperor's neglect."
Hongde Longqiu nodded, and before he could speak, he already saw Hongde Longqiu standing not far ahead.
"Are you from the Bamboo Concubine?"
"Yes," Hongde Longhao said, "the emperor's wife wants to find someone who can twist thread. I have the impression that Granny Zhang from the weaving department seems to be an expert in this field and should be able to help the emperor's wife."
The Bamboo Concubine thought of begging the emperor's brother, but never thought of coming to him directly. Hongde Long Qiu frowned, "You want to go to Grandma Zhang?"
Hongde Longhao looked at the emperor brother, "She is from the palace. Even if I want to ask for help, I need the emperor's consent. If it is inconvenient, I will look for her outside the palace."
Hongde Longqiu knew that his sudden neglect of Concubine Zhu had caused discussion in the palace. How could Hongde Longhao and others not know about it? Moreover, he was also the one who knew the true identity of Concubine Zhu. He must have been guessing after seeing the current situation.
Have you discovered some secret about Concubine Zhu? But how do they know the real situation?
"Tenth brother, go ahead and do it!"
"Thank you, Brother Huang."
After listening to Meng Xinzhu's ideas, Grandma Zhang nodded. She said this is not difficult. Usually, some feathers or other animal hairs are mixed into the embroidery threads.
Meng Xinzhu was very happy after hearing this and hurriedly asked her for advice on how to deal with it. Even though Meng Xinzhu was good at learning poetry and kung fu, once he got on the twisting machine, he could only be described in one word, that is - stupid.
Alas, you can’t blame her. Technology is so advanced now and everything is readily available. How often have you seen girls in modern society playing with twisting machines?
Nanny Zhang just shook her head. If Meng Xinzhu was not the concubine, she would have scolded her to death. She has never seen such a stupid "apprentice". Now with the emperor's will and the tenth prince's "please"
, she had to endure it even if she couldn't bear it. She just hoped that this concubine would either find it boring and give up voluntarily, or learn to learn it quickly and leave as soon as possible.
Hongde Longqiu came to the weaving place and saw Meng Xinzhu sweating profusely and twisting the thread hurriedly from a distance. He couldn't help but smile. The girl's embarrassed look was really cute.
"Brother Emperor, don't you want to go in?"
Hongde Longqiu turned around and looked at Hongde Longhao, who had just walked over, and shook his head, "No, I have to discuss state affairs with the ministers later."
Hongde Longhao looked at Meng Xinzhu who was twisting thread inside, "The emperor's sister-in-law has made great progress and can now twist it into thread."
"Hahaha, if you don't make progress, I'm afraid the master will explode."
Hongde Longhao smiled and nodded, "Actually, I don't understand why the emperor's sister-in-law must learn how to twist thread by herself, just let Aunt Zhang and the others do it. Moreover, the thread that the emperor's sister-in-law twists is relatively thick, and it is impossible to use it.
embroidered."
"It would be boring for her to be understood so easily."
Ten pounds of wool were separated and twisted into two groups of yarns with different thicknesses. Meng Xinzhu looked at the twisted yarns and had to admire the wisdom of the ancients. Haha, at least she has learned a skill now, although it may not be used to get rich.
But at least she doesn't have to worry about how she'll survive the cold winter here.
The next step was to make the needles. She used a knife to scrape the bamboo sections bit by bit and made the required needles based on her impression.
As "Swallow" Meng Xinzhu is undoubtedly successful. In the eyes of many people, she is also an outstanding woman, but she is not a virtuous and capable housewife.
It was because of him that she went to learn how to knit a sweater. People said that warm-brand clothes were the most considerate. But after her birthday, Bai expressed her gratitude, but the sweater could not be given away. After she officially became an instructor, she put down her debut work on sweaters.
Bottom of the box.
Eunuch Chen and others looked at Concubine Zhu in surprise, wondering what she wanted to do.
Xiao Zhao also paid close attention to the actions of Concubine Zhu. Looking at the bamboo sticks of different thicknesses in her hands, he couldn't help but think of the time when she stole the medicine. She had used the eight-claw rope as a weapon. Was it also a weapon?
It took more than half a month from twisting the thread to making the needle, and Meng Xinzhu was finally able to start knitting.
