Chapter 570
Yun Qing was very happy to get the duck sweater, and when he saw Yu Xi, he said, "Madam Quan has made a great contribution." This thing is popularized and can benefit the soldiers and the common people.
Yuxi smiled and said: "Although this duck sweater is warm, how much feather can a duck have? Even if you collect all the duck feathers in the northwest, you can't make a few clothes." , Not only bought from Zhuangzi from the restaurant, but also killed some live ducks.
Yun Qing nodded and said: "You are right. What should we do then?" In this respect, he is far behind Yu Xi.
Yuxi said: "As long as the duck sweater is not leaked, we can buy duck feathers and goose feathers in the surrounding provinces. Clean these things first to eliminate the odor, and then use these things to make clothes in the spring." Anyway, this winter will definitely be used no more.
Yun Qing was a little surprised, and asked, "Goose feathers are okay?"
Yuxi smiled and said: "The goose can also go into the water in winter, and its feathers should also be very effective in keeping warm. If you have any doubts, you can find some to test first." The goose feather is really Yuxi's speculation.
Yun Qing thought for a while and said: "Do you think wool can be used to make clothes?" If wool can be used to make clothes, then you really don't have to worry about it. There are not many other things in the northwest, but there is a lot of wool.
Yuxi glanced at Yunqing and said: "The idea is good, but for the time being, no one can make wool into clothes. By the way, the purchase of duck feathers and goose feathers is left to outsiders. It has something to do with it. If not, the price will rise sharply.” We are not afraid of someone doing bad things, but we are afraid of someone deliberately raising the price.
Yun Qing smiled and said: "I don't need you to tell me about it. How is today, is the child making a fuss?"
Yuxi rubbed her stomach. Yuxi ate a lot in the past half month, and the child grew up very quickly: "These days are very good." . Yuxi was frightened by these two children.
After dinner, Yunqing walked around the yard with Yuxi. Yuxi walked very slowly, not even half of her usual speed. Yun Qing supported her, and patiently accompanied Yu Xi to walk around the corridor five times.
After sitting down, Yu Xi was already sweating profusely. After wiping off her sweat, Yuxi took a glass of water from Nanny Quan, and after drinking it, she said, "Mommy, do you want a massage today?"
Sister Quan nodded and said, "From now on, I will have a massage every day." There are some things that Sister Quan did not tell Yuxi, that many pregnant women who are pregnant with twins will experience swelling. Yuxi doesn't have it now, but it doesn't mean she won't have it in the future.
Yuxi smiled and said, "That's a hard work, mother."
Yun Qing watched from the side without intervening. He couldn't learn the delicate work of massage, even if he wanted to.
Soon, businessmen in the northwest began to buy duck and goose feathers. Not only in the northwest to purchase, but also in surrounding provinces.
The news quickly spread to the capital. Yan Wushuang asked a little strangely: "What's the use of duck feathers and goose feathers?" Goose feathers and duck feathers should be thrown away as garbage.
Meng Nian shook his head and said, "We found out that in the middle of the twelfth lunar month, a nun surnamed Quan next to Princess Pingxi asked for ten catties of duck feathers. But we didn't find out what she wanted the duck feathers for." Nanny, Yuxi and a few others knew about it, not even Xu Wu, so Yan Wushuang's people naturally couldn't find out.
After a pause, Meng Nian said, "My lord, sooner or later the purpose of their acquisition of this thing will be exposed. My lord, do you think we'll also buy some and stock up?"
Yan Wushuang laughed when he heard this, and said, "This is not food, what are you hoarding it for?" It's okay to store food for a year or two, but this stuff will stink soon after being hoarded and put in the warehouse. Speaking of it, Yan Wushuang felt that Yuxi was very capable of tossing around, and if she had a bad pregnancy, she could take care of her baby with peace of mind, and she always thought that it was a one-off.
After pondering for a moment, Meng Nian said, "If it's Princess Pingxi's idea,
Then we have to pay close attention. Most of the things Yu Xi tossed out were good things. "
Yan Wushuang shook his head and said: "It may be a good thing for her, but it may not be for us. Didn't the 5,000 mu of yams planted before have all been frozen to death?" Liaodong often snowed heavily, and the yam seedlings fell after a heavy snowfall. All buried in snow. When I opened it up, all of them were frozen to death.
Meng Nian said: "It can only be said that this potato is not suitable for autumn planting in Liaodong, and it will not be planted in spring." They were also worried about this problem before, so they only planted 5,000 acres, and the result was as expected. All froze to death.
Yan Wushuang said: "Let's leave this matter to someone special!" They are all laymen when it comes to Tian affairs.
Just as he was talking, he saw a guard shouting outside, "My lord, someone is coming from the palace." The person coming from the palace could only be someone sent by the emperor. Although the emperor is a puppet, Yan Wushuang's superficial skills are still in place.
Yan Wushuang did not show any impatience, but changed his clothes, and then took Gao Dongnan to the palace.
Seeing the emperor, Yan Wushuang asked: "I don't know what is the important thing for the emperor to summon his ministers?" The emperor was only seven years old and had never touched government affairs, so where did the important thing come from.
The emperor didn't show any dissatisfaction, but looked at Yan Wushuang expectantly and said, "The Chinese New Year will be in a few days. I want to have a New Year's Eve dinner with my mother and younger siblings." He, Achi and Abao It's half-brother, and naturally their elder brother.
Yan Wushuang never regarded the emperor as a child. He immediately smiled and said, "Achi and Abao are too young to enter the palace. But after the New Year's Eve, Concubine Han can enter the palace." Spend New Year's Eve with you." There are too many ghosts and ghosts in this palace, so he is not at ease to put a pair of children in the palace.
Disappointment flashed in the emperor's eyes, but he didn't ask Yan Wushuang again, he just said: "Prince Regent, can I go to watch the ceremony when Abao and Achi catch up?" Under Yan Wushuang's surveillance. It's also Zhou Yan's good psychological quality, otherwise his mood would be distorted in such a depressing environment.
Yan Wushuang smiled and said: "Of course it can." After a pause, Yan Wushuang said again: "Your Majesty, the treasury is empty, so the red tape during the Chinese New Year can be avoided!"
The emperor had no objection, and said, "The regent is the king." Yan Wushuang was in control of military affairs and government affairs, and he was just a puppet. Zhou Yan is not stupid, if you want to live, just be this puppet. If you dare to make any changes, you will die at any time.
After returning to the palace, Yan Wushuang went to the backyard. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Ah Bao pressing Ah Chi under him. A Chi has a good temper, and he didn't cry when he was bullied.
Ruiniang was about to separate the two, when she saw Yan Wushuang, she hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "All blessings, my lord."
When Ah Bao saw Yan Wushuang, he got up happily and called: "Father." After shouting, he reached out to hug Yan Wushuang.
Ah Chi got up and sat down, and then he opened his mouth and called out: "Father." Ah Chi spoke a month later than Ah Bao, but eleven months old was considered early.
Looking at his imaginative son, Yan Wushuang felt a little soft-hearted now, and walked over to hold Ah Chi in his arms. Fortunately, his son looks like him, not at all like Zhou Yan. Otherwise, it wouldn't be as disgusting as swallowing a fly.
In fact, among the twins, the one who resembles Zhou Yan is A Bao, and the two of them have two or three points of resemblance. It's just that Ah Bao is a girl, and she usually dresses up beautifully, covering up her appearance.
When Yuchen entered the room, he saw Yan Wushuang holding two children, and was very surprised, but he didn't show it on his face.
Yan Wushuang relayed to Yuchen what he said to Zhou Yan just now, and said: "I have promised the emperor that you will go to the palace to spend New Year's Eve with him on New Year's Eve."
Yuchen was taken aback, but soon came to his senses, and said with a blessing, "Thank you, my lord." She hadn't seen Zhou Yan for more than half a year, and she was still very happy to be able to enter the palace to spend New Year's Eve with Zhou Yan this time of.
For the New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve, two tables were opened in the main courtyard of Pingxi Palace. A table for men, a table for women and children. It's not that he started to pay attention to the defense of men and women, but that men want to drink. Yu Xi didn't want to smell the wine, and she was afraid that Zao Zao would drink too, so she divided two tables.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, a group of people entered the bedroom. Yuxi looked at Ruonan in Zijin's arms, and said: "Zijin, you should come back to see the child more often on weekdays." Ruonan was taken by Master Yang, how could an old man like Master Yang take care of the child, and he Most of the time every day is in pharmacy, and Ruonan's mother-in-law takes her on weekdays. It's strange to say that although Ruonan doesn't see his parents more than ten times a year, this child is very close to Yu Zhi and Zijin, and sticks to them as soon as he comes back.
Zi Jin said: "Princess, there are too many things to do in the military camp. I will stay in the mansion to accompany Ruonan when I am not busy." Ruo Nan was named after Zi Jin, and Zi Jin hoped that her daughter would be as successful as a man in the future. Although Yuxi felt that the name was not very good, but neither Master Yang nor Yu Zhi objected, so she couldn't say anything more.
Yuxi snorted twice and said, "No matter how busy you are, you can still be busier than the prince? The prince still spares half an hour every day to talk to the child!" Every night after dinner, Yunqing would accompany the child to talk session. Although they were talking nonsense, the two children were very happy.
Zijin smiled lightly and said: "When I came back, I heard from the master that the concubine's temperament was different after she became pregnant. I didn't expect it to be true." The Yuxi in the past was dignified and generous, so how could she make such an indecent sound like humming!
After entering the barracks, Zijin became more straightforward. However, the life in the military camp is indeed suitable for Zijin, and now she is in it like a duck to water.
Yuxi was not angry either, and said with a smile: "You are getting more and more courageous, even I dare to make fun of you." Zijin and Zisu are her two most trusted maids, and they are living well now. This made her sincerely happy.
After talking for a long time, Nanny Quan came over and reminded Yu Xi: "Princess, it's time." It's time to walk.
Zijin heard that Yuxi was going to walk around the corridor, handing the child to the girl, and wanted to help Yuxi.
Yuxi smiled and said: "I can walk without help now." Yuxi has already felt that she is not walking as easily as she started.
After walking down five laps, Yuxi was covered in sweat again, and her underwear was stuck to her body. But because she was afraid of catching the cold, Yu Xi didn't dare to change her clothes, let alone take a bath, even though she was sweating profusely.
Zijin felt distressed when she saw it: "Why is it so hard?" When she was pregnant with Ruonan, Zijin didn't feel anything at all.
Yuxi leaned on the chair and said: "It is very hard to be pregnant with twins." The previous three together did not suffer so much. (to be continued)
