Outsiders of Mianjia Dyeing Workshop

After Mianli and Mianyu prepared the dyes, they began to dye.Because the stability of the dye is not sure, all the processes are done by two people by themselves, beating, dyeing, coloring, and drying, all of which are busy with two people, without pretending to be the hands of others!Unknowingly, most of the day passed. When the two put the last piece of cloth on the drying rack, they both beat their own waists. Looking at the full yard, the two sisters looked at each other and smiled.

"Sixth sister, let's go, let's go to the house to eat some snacks and have a rest, just watch carefully here!" Mianyu said to Mianli!

Mianli nodded: "Please, elder sister!" Mianli stretched out her hand to ask Mianyu to go first, Mianyu smiled, looking at the various stains on Mianli's clothes, she suddenly realized that the mischievous Xiaoliu seemed to have left No return, Xiaoliu has really grown up after getting married!

"Xiao Liu, you must be a part of our cloth dyeing workshop! After a while, after my mother and I hand over, I will write a contract!" Mianyu patted Mianli on the shoulder and solemnly promised.

Mianli smiled, said nothing, the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not give in.What Mianli thinks in his heart is that his brothers will settle accounts clearly, so that when they do things in the future, there will be no unsatisfactory emotions affecting their feelings.And Mianyu simply doesn't want Mianli to suffer. She has always had doubts about whether Mianli can be a scholar. With the membership of the cloth dyeing workshop and the colorful brocade, she must earn a lot. Worry about the family, at least within three generations, no worries, this is also her love and care as the elder sister.

The two leaned on the table in front of the bed, eating snacks and drinking tea, looking outside from time to time to see if there was any wind, watching the cloth on the drying rack swaying with the wind, both of them felt refreshed.

Buqi was a little restless all morning. When the ink stains on the brush stained the paper again, Buqi finally put down the brush, regrouped the paper and threw it into the wastebasket. Yingcao, who was studying ink, looked at Buqi and hesitated to speak.

"Forget it, stop practicing, Yingcao, go and prepare some snacks for me, I'll go sit in the yard!" Buqi said.

"Yes, little lady!" Yingcao happily replied, she didn't eat much for breakfast, she was always worried that the little lady's stomach couldn't take it, now the little lady wanted to eat something.

Yingcao cheerfully called the little girls below to quickly put the snacks in the gazebo in Denglan Courtyard, and put Buqi's piano on the table, thinking that the little lady could caress the piano one time.

After Buqi sat down and played a song, she really cheered up a bit, thinking that the two of them would have a good chat when Mianli came back at night, that there was indeed something wrong with her yesterday, and there was no overnight feud between husband and wife.Buqi, who had figured it out for a while, laughed, and her appetite whetted, and she ate two pieces of snacks in a row. When she picked up the third piece, she saw Xiaoying carrying a few servants carrying a couch from the corridor door. Walked over and looked in the direction of the study.

Buqi was surprised, and ordered: "Yingcao, go and see, what are they going to do!"

Yingcao answered and left the pavilion, walked over and saluted Xiaoying: "Sister Xiaoying, what are you doing?"

Xiaoying looked at the Yingcao, looked up at the gazebo again, her heart skipped a beat, she thought, why did she meet Liu Niangzi?Yingcao's words were obviously asked by Liu Niangzi, and Xiaoying had to answer, so she could only bow her hands and return to Yingcao: "Sister Yingcao, Liu Ye said that the couch in the study room is not very comfortable, so the little ones are not comfortable. Change it to something more comfortable! Liu Niangzi is resting in the pavilion? I'm going to show Liu Niangzi a present!"

After finishing speaking, Xiaoying ran outside the gazebo, bowed and saluted: "Slave to Liu Niangzi!"

Buqi listened and smiled: "Xiaoying, you are busy with your work, so you don't need to come here to pay respects!"

Xiaoying responded: "Yes! Miss Liu, if there is nothing else, the little ones will go to work first! If you have something to do, let Yingcao tell the little ones to do it!"

Buqi smiled: "Naturally, I have nothing to do, so go ahead and get busy!"

Buqi smiled and watched Xiaoying and the others walk away, then looked sideways at Yingcao, Yingcao bit her lips, lowered her head and said softly: "It is said that the sixth master did not sleep well last night, but today he is lying on the couch. Comfortable, let sister Xiaoying bring someone to change to a comfortable sleeping couch!"

Listening to the front, Buqi laughed, but listening to the back, the snack that Buqi had just picked up was broken, falling into pieces.As soon as Yingcao was about to speak, Buqi put the remaining dim sum in her hand back on the plate, stood up by herself, stroked the crumbs, walked outside, and said in her mouth: "Clean up everything! I'm going to take a nap!"

Speaking of which, Buqi straightened her body and walked forward. Yingcao waved to the little girls, signaling them to clean up quickly, while she hurriedly followed: "Little lady, you didn't eat much for breakfast, you still ate it." Go to bed after lunch!"

Bu Qi didn't speak, and went back to the bedroom with a cold face, and lay on the bed without changing her coat.Yingcao looked at it, and didn't dare to persuade her anymore, so she could only sigh, now the young master really hated his little lady. . .

Mianli Mianyu, who had lunch over there, carefully inspected the dyed cloth, and then cut off a small piece with scissors. Patting Mianli on the shoulder: "Xiao Liu, great job! We made it! We made it!"

Mianli looked at Mianyu, who was smiling like a child, and rubbed the shoulder that hurt from being patted by Mianyu: "Yes! Sister, we succeeded! We really succeeded!" Mianli looked up, feeling that the white clouds in the sky were also stained. Without color, I finally left my own work in this time and space, which is my own trace.

Mianyu quickly rolled up two scrolls of colorful brocade, and said to Mianli, "Xiao Liu, let's go! Let's hurry up to announce the good news to A Niang!"

After finishing speaking, he called his entourage repeatedly: "Ah Jiu, Ah Jiu! Come quickly!"

Ah Jiu came over from the corner door in response: "Miss!"

Mianyu pointed to the yard with a smile: "Ah Jiu, you have to take a look at these colorful brocades! Don't cause trouble, and no one is allowed to move! We will talk about it when A Niang and I come over!"

Looking at these brightly colored brocades, Ah Jiu was stunned for a moment.

Mianyu didn't hear any response, so she asked again: "Ah Jiu?"

Ah Jiu hurriedly nodded in agreement, feeling a little dazed.As the son of the Mian family, Ah Jiu naturally knew what this meant!She also jumped up with joy, and said for a long time: "Miss, wait a moment, I will arrange people first, and you can leave later! I am afraid that something will go wrong!"

Mianyu nodded after hearing this, and felt that the arrangement was appropriate, and Mianli was sweating a little. These are not recipes, so she shouldn't be so nervous!

But Mianli didn't say anything, after Ah Jiu came over with a few servants, Mianyu hurriedly took Mianli away, each holding a colorful brocade, and hurried back to Mian's mansion. The two of them even forgot the servant's greetings, and ran straight to the main courtyard without waiting for the servant's notification.

"Aniang, Aniang!" Mianyu shouted without waiting for Mianli to shout.

After hearing this, Mianyu, who was recuperating in the inner room, thought that something big had happened, so she hurried up and saw her elder daughter and younger daughter running in, and looked at the two daughters with smiles on their faces, and then she was sure that there was nothing wrong with her. It was a bad thing, so he took up the prestige of the parents: "Yu'er, who is flustered and yelling, how decent is it?"

Hearing Mianyu's reprimand, Mianyu hurriedly stood at attention, a little speechless at Mianyu.

"Aniang, don't scold elder sister! Eldest sister is also excited, and wants to announce the good news to mother quickly! Our dyeing workshop can produce colorful brocades for a long time and stably!" Mianli told Mianyu the good news very eloquently.

"Well, Caijin can be produced stably, and this is not your elder sister... Wait, Caijin?" Mianyu shook her hand as soon as she picked up the tea bowl, and the tea soup that was a little hot was poured on her hands. Mianyu It seemed that she didn't feel the heat. Looking at the two daughters, when she saw the colorful brocade in their arms, her heart skipped a beat.

Suddenly they started fighting: "Hey...Yu'er,...but it's true..." Mianyu looked at her daughter in disbelief.

Mianyu nodded with joy on her face: "Naturally, A Niang, it's true! Sixth Sister and I have been working together for several days! It's really done! There are still many finished products in the dyeing workshop! If A Niang doesn't believe it, you can Go and see!"

"Slightly...slightly...I believe you! Let's go, slightly...go and have a look!" Mianyu stood up anxiously and was about to walk outside, and kept hitting from time to time.

When Mianyu passed by Mianli, with an "ah", Mianli frightened Mianyu into a fright, and then heard the crackling sound of something breaking.

Mianli turned her head and saw that Mrs. Xu was also taken aback, with several broken teacups and snacks under her feet.

Mianli scratched her head and smiled apologetically at Mrs. Xu: "I'm sorry, mother, I didn't notice you!"

Mrs. Xu was furious, and she came over and twisted Mianli's ear: "You are talking about what you suddenly did to your mother!"

Mianyu also looked at Mianli furiously, and Mianli hurriedly waved his hands to protect his ears: "Auntie, you don't hiccup! I'm here to cure your hiccups! And Auntie hasn't put on a coat yet. , how can I go out!"

At this time, Mrs. Xu looked at Mianyu, and Mianyu looked at herself, her face flushed, and she just reprimanded her eldest daughter for being unsafe, but the report came too quickly: "Our two good daughters have dyed their colors in the dyeing workshop. Jin, I'm not going to take a look!" After speaking, Mianyu ignored the three of them and hurried back to the inner room to change clothes!

Mrs. Xu looked at her two daughters in disbelief, and saw the cloth in their hands: "Really?"

Mianli smiled obsequiously: "Really, mother, when the boy gets you a good-looking dress for the mother, it will be regarded as my filial piety to you!"

Mrs. Xu said subconsciously: "Okay, that's great! Good boy!" She stared at Caijin with her eyes fixed on her, and gently stroked Caijin with her hands.

At this time, Mianyu also changed her clothes, and hurriedly said to her two daughters: "This is here, let's go to the dyeing workshop!"

Mianyu nodded, just as she was about to put the colorful brocade in her hand on the table, Mrs. Xu quickly took it and hugged it carefully: "I'll put it away! You guys go!"

The mother and daughter nodded to Mrs. Xu, and hurried to the cloth dyeing workshop. . .

☆, Chapter 45

Under the clear sky, in a small yard behind the cloth dyeing workshop of Mianjia, there are more than 20 drying poles. On the drying poles are colorful brocades dyed by Mianyu and Mianli in the morning.As soon as the door is opened, those colorful brocades are displayed in front of the cotton fish like colorful waves layer by layer.The cotton fish watched excitedly, and staggered forward. As she walked, she stroked the colorful brocades flying on both sides, just like cheerful fish dancing in the waves, walking faster and faster, from front to back, from left to On the right, playing around like a child, and laughing out loud from time to time.

Posted happily~ After venting for a while, Mianyu laughed loudly: "Bless the ancestors! I checked and it was all in order, and I will collect it after drying it! Yu'er, Xiaoliu, you are so good! Haha! Pick an auspicious day to open Ancestral hall, our Mianjia cloth dyeing workshop has improved to a higher level, to comfort the ancestors! Even during the war, your grandmother never gave up looking for the method of color brocade dyeing! You can produce colorful brocade without weaving. I think there will be cloth in the world. I have a place in Mian's family! Haha! Good, very good!" Mian Yu was a little incoherent with joy.

Mianyu cupped her hands: "Do we need to inform the youngest of the clan to open the ancestral hall? Or is it just our branch? A Niang!"

After hearing this, Mianyu frowned: "Let's branch out! Although Mian's family is mainly engaged in cloth workshops, the formulas of various dyes are all private, so there is no need to share them with each other! You should also pay close attention to the formulas. This is our The family heirloom of the Mian family in Shixuan Town!"

Mianli and Mianyu looked at each other, and they both bowed back: "Yes, mother!"

"Yu'er? Has the dye vat for your formula been installed?" Mian Yu frowned and asked.

"Just put it next to the dye vat left by grandma! It's already marked!" Mianyu hurried back.

Mianyu nodded in satisfaction: "You have done a lot, and we have another mouthful of dyeing vats handed down in our family!"

After speaking, Mian Yu frowned, and Mian Li saw it and asked, "Aniang, what's bothering you?"

Mianyu nodded: "I just divided the family for you, and now I don't have enough money to expand the dyeing workshop! I also want to take advantage of the colorful brocade to see if it can be made into a large workshop with tens of thousands of dyeing vats! That's your grandmother. A lifetime wish!" Mian Yu said with a thoughtful face.

"Even if there is silver, there is no good location in Shixuan Town! It is difficult to solve the problem of running water alone!" Mianyu said after thinking carefully!

"Aniang, Eldest Sister, have you ever thought about opening a branch in Suilin Village? I saw that there are many branches of rivers, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the grain production is not very good. Most of the land is sandy. It would be great to build a workshop there!" Mianli suggested.When it comes to this, Mianli is also somewhat selfish. Before she decided to go to Suilin Village, she didn’t just want to review books. Before that, she always wanted to plant some food crops first, and have her own wood-type abilities to improve seeds. It must be more productive than other places, but after thinking about the colorful brocade, the need for special plant dyes will increase. It is obvious that buying wild ones cannot meet the production needs. She can plant them and sell them back to her sister, which is the best of both worlds.

After finishing speaking, Mianli looked at Mianyu, and Mianyu thought about it: "We will discuss these after the ancestral hall is opened! Yu'er, you should send someone to keep an eye on these colorful brocades, and I have to discuss with Xiaoliu's mother-in-law." Let's talk about the sale!"

"Mother, I have already contacted a fan merchant, I think I can sell some first!" Mianli saw that Mianyu was planning to spread the net to sell, and hurriedly contacted himself about Tu Lude and Mianyu for details. said.

"My son is sure about the birthday of the country's lord?" Mianyu asked.

"It's true, when I was in the capital, besides accepting this appointment, I also sent Xiaoying to ask other merchants, all of whom were looking for strange things to offer to their king!" Mianli replied.

"This might not be an opportunity for us!" Mianyu nodded, "Go back to the mansion first and then discuss, there is such a big happy event, let's have a good time at our mansion today!" Mianyu happily led the two of Mianli in front Back home, the three of them went into Mianyu's study and discussed secretly for a long time. After Mianyu laughed, the mother and daughter asked the kitchen to deliver food and wine, and they ate and drank in the study. This was in Mianyu's memory. For the first time ever.

…………

When the lights came on, the entire palace was lit up. The tense atmosphere of the past few days seemed to have gradually eased because the two sides did not fight.

The emperor raised his glass to Yu Nong and said, "Thank you father-in-law for your hard work for many days!"

Yu Nong hurriedly raised his hand and raised his eyebrows to salute: "It's what a veteran should do! Your Majesty has broken the humble minister!"

The emperor shook his head: "I think my father entrusted dozens of old officials! Hearing that the eldest sister had a conflict with me, they all stayed behind closed doors! Thinking that I am the son of the former emperor, and the eldest sister is a mole girl, and her heart is not in the country. I am really uneasy that I can be respected by the courtiers!"

The emperor turned the wine glass in his hand and looked at Yu Nong. Yu Nong bowed his head and kept slandering in his heart. The former emperor took a fancy to the kindness of His Majesty, but what is behind the kindness?Aspirational and talented, jealous by nature, forbearing and mean!

The emperor cleared his throat and said, "What does the head of the country think?" The word "father of the country" can only be used for the empress's parents. Now the emperor obviously wanted to abolish the empress by saying this. After seeing the emperor say this, he was overjoyed Crazy daughter, Yu Nong sighed softly in his heart, he didn't know if the throne was safe, but he was thinking about abolishing the queen, really stupid!

Yu Nong pretended to be surprised, lifted his clothes and knelt down in the middle of the hall: "Your Majesty will never force you to do so. If Duke Xu knows, what should we do!"

The emperor snorted softly: "As the queen's mother, I don't want to serve the country! I indulge my relatives every day, and I drink for pleasure! It's really embarrassing to me!"

Yu Nong lay in the middle of the hall: "The Xu family's army can ensure that His Majesty is safe!"

The emperor was silent for a while, and the pride aroused by alcohol suddenly subsided: "Ai Qing, please get up!"

Yu Nong started as promised.

At this time, Liu Shui, the chief internal officer, ran to the hall: "Your Majesty, Prince Heng begs to see you!"

"Oh? What happened to my third sister? Isn't the money from the household department enough for her to spend?" The emperor Mimi thought with her eyes.

"Xuan!" Although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't say it out loud. The emperor directly summoned Prince Heng.

"Chenmei greets the emperor's brother!" As soon as Prince Heng entered the hall, he dropped his clothes and knelt down to pay his respects.

Seeing his younger sister, who never let him be allowed to play tricks on her since she was a child, knelt in front of him, the emperor felt relieved, and after a while, the emperor smiled warmly: "The third sister came just in time! The freshly prepared deer blood is just right! Is the third sister coming to have a bowl?"

After hearing this, Prince Heng's saliva was secreted. If you want to say that it is good to be an emperor!The best in the world can be used, like the secret deer blood, only the emperor and those rewarded by the emperor can use it.

"So, sister Chen, thank the emperor's brother!" Prince Heng said without concealing his joy.

The emperor looked at Prince Heng contemptuously, he was indeed a greedy guy.He clapped his hands, and the eunuch poured a cup for Prince Heng with a silver jug, and the emperor waved to Le Wu, and the sound of silk and bamboo gradually rose.Prince Heng looked at the emperor with a smile, raised his glass and started drinking. After a while, singing and dancing drums sounded, and the dance music of Prince Yin breaking Wucheng was played. The blood is racing.

"Sister-in-law respectfully wish my emperor to expand the territory!" Prince Heng drank loudly, and then drank a cup of warm deer blood.

The emperor raised his head and looked at Prince Heng, only to see a ray of blush flowing from the corner of Prince Heng's mouth, and he felt a little cold when he saw it.

…………

"Master, is the strength of the slave envoy good?" A beauty in palace attire asked affectionately towards the hot woman in white gauze lying on her body.

I saw the two lying on a couch carved with dragons and phoenixes, the colorful brocade pillow was leaned on by the beauty in the palace costume, the woman in white gauze was leaning on the beauty in the palace costume with her limbs wide open, and the surrounding dragons and phoenixes were brightly lit with red candles

"Baby, your massage technique is indescribably good! Come on, give me a reward!" The woman in white gauze pulled down the beauty's head and kissed her.

"How about exchanging country for beauty? How about exchanging beauty for country? A bunch of idiots! I won't trade! Haha! It's all mine!" The woman in white gauze laughed frivolously, her hand caressing the beauty in palace attire naturally.

At this time, a strong wind blew past, flickering the candle flame.

The woman in white gauze chuckled, "Snail ghost, you're getting naughty too!"

A woman covered in black clothes appeared on the ground, and a hoarse voice sounded: "Return to the master, the fish has bitten the hook!"

The woman in white gauze chuckled, "Is there any movement from the eldest princess!"

The voice of the snail ghost's scrub came again: "There is no movement! It's like resigning to fate!"

The woman in white gauze laughed softly: "Accept fate? She has been chasing me for a long time! How could she accept fate! Be careful! It is best to get Prince Han, he is a wonderful person!"

The snail ghost obviously knew his master's disposition, so he said without moving: "The eldest princess didn't see any movement, but the princess mansion is heavily guarded! I dare not act rashly!"

"Shuiyu has never been a simple person, how can someone who can control the royal guards be so simple!" The woman in white gauze hooked her lips and smiled evilly.

"Royal hidden guards? I never found out about them!" The snail ghost was puzzled.

"You can't find it, but it doesn't mean there isn't one! How could that old man be so blind to a waste material to succeed him! No wonder he wanted to lure me out! How attractive is a waste!" the woman in white gauze said softly .

"Master, if you're drunk, you should drink more!" Snail Ghost sarcastically said harshly.

"You think I'm drunk?" The woman in white gauze asked softly, "It's a pity that I didn't get drunk with a beauty today, or I would have had a good time with the snail ghost!"

The candle on the left was extinguished, and with a slap, a slap print appeared on the face of the woman in white gauze.

The beauty in the palace costume paused: "Master!" She was about to touch the cheek of the woman in white gauze, but she swung her away.

The woman in white gauze touched her cheeks, sat up, then stood up and laughed, walked a few steps, squatted down, looked at the man in black with a ghost mask, stared at the man in black, and said, "Snail ghost!" , Snail ghost, you are the ghost that Snail keeps by my side! As long as I live, you can only be a ghost!"

The snail ghost knelt straight, without any movement.

The woman in white gauze jumped over the snail ghost, opened the window of the house, stretched out her arms and said softly: "Hurry up! Jiangshan beauty..."
