History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]

Qingfeng Pavilion fought a turnaround, and quickly opened several ready-made clothing stores in several prosperous areas of the outer city. This time, they switched to cotton cloth to make underwear.

Some of them were clever enough to go to the store to see the styles, and wanted to go back and make them themselves.

When I got to the cloth shop, I compared them again, and found that the ones sold in the store were cheaper than those made by pulling cloth by myself, and the styles were more diverse.Most of them turned back to the store and quietly bought them back.

Then the people in Qingfengge found that the underwear in the store was not popular yet, but the cloth bag became popular first. Now people don’t care about carrying a basket when they go out to buy vegetables.

Some stores saw business opportunities and learned from others. They made a large number of similar cloth bags and gave them away when customers spent a certain amount of money. However, these cloth bags looked fancy on the outside but were actually inferior in quality, not as exquisite and sturdy as Qingfeng Pavilion.

In any case, cloth bags quickly became popular in outer cities.

After August, Qingfeng Pavilion has a tendency to expand to nearby counties, and the original workshop has been completed, and large-scale recruitment has begun.

This time, not only men were recruited, but also women.

It is divided into two workshops, one is a clothing workshop and the other is a toy workshop.

The two look close, but they are actually separated by a high wall, and there are a lot of houses between the east and the west.

The house here has been transformed into two floors, supported by large pillars outside, which looks somewhat similar to the church of foreigners.

The difference is that every wall is pasted with porcelain tiles, both inside and outside. The discarded porcelain in the nearest porcelain kilns in the capital was swept away, and later the porcelain burned in the kilns was also bought with a little money.

These tiles were polished by ingenious craftsmen to form different patterns, mixed with triad clay and pasted on the walls and floors.

Once a few houses were built, with their unique appearance, several families from nearby came to watch. Some people even wanted to build such a bright and spacious house, and tried to invite these people.

Because there was only finishing work left, many people were willing to take on new jobs. Seeing this, Lin Yuan recruited some people to form an engineering team, and took on a lot of jobs.

During this period of time, he tried to buy land in the city, but because the government lion opened his mouth, he couldn't talk about it.He began to look at the nearby counties outside the city, and Tongzhou was the first to come into his eyes.

After reporting it to the higher authorities, An Gege also supported his idea, and said that he didn't have to be in the city, but outside the capital and Tongzhou.

During this time, Lin Yuan just looked around, and stopped arguing with those people in the city.

After entering August, seeing that Si Ye would not be able to make it back this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, Minning presided over the festival for the first time.

At the beginning of August, they began to prepare gifts for the palace and the palace.

The first time I was busy, I was in a hurry. Fortunately, Zhang Qilin helped me. Last year, everyone stayed in the mansion because of Concubine Min's filial piety. Later, because of the matter of the third elder brother, I was even more frightened. No one dared to do it. Early birds.

This time it can be considered that the mansion is officially moving around for other clan members, but I don't know why Fujin ran out at this time, leaving the mansion and handing over this matter to her.

Fourth Master probably thought of this before leaving, and left a list on purpose. Minning prepared gifts one by one according to these lists, and asked about some taboos.

The gifts were prepared according to the rules, but she also stuffed some private goods into these gifts. Some children gave a lot of toys, and some older children gave bicycles.

On this day, Minning was still looking at the gift list, when shouts came from the yard.

"Master, master, Li Gege is about to give birth!"

Minning put down the brush and got up immediately, and asked Biying who ran in in surprise, "What's the matter? It's only been eight months, why did you give birth at this time?"

Biying panted and said: "Just now, Li Gege was walking in the small garden outside, and accidentally stepped on a stone, slipped and fell to the ground, with a lot of blood flowing from his body, the midwife who was guarding Li Gege's yard Said the baby was going to be born."

Minning's heart was beating like thunder, she didn't know whether this incident was aimed at Li Gege or her, anyway, she couldn't escape the responsibility for what happened to Li Gege when she was in charge of housekeeping.

For a while, she couldn't control who did it in the backyard, Min Ning quickly explained: "I'm going to hire the imperial doctor with the name of the master, and I will save the child first." As for who did it, she can't investigate it, it has to be Zhang Qilin shot.

Minning hurried to Li Gege's yard, and before he reached the gate, he heard the screaming of a woman inside.

Minning's face turned pale, and he walked in bravely, only to see all the people who should and should not have come in the yard.

All the famous women in the fourth master's backyard have arrived.

The concubine who didn't take Ge Ge's name greeted Min Ning, Min Ning casually gave way, and then asked Song Ge Ge who was standing in the front.

"Sister Song, what did the midwife say?"

Song Gege turned around and saw her, and said, "Sister An, you are here, the midwife just went in and hasn't come out yet..."

As soon as the words fell, the door was opened from the inside, and the midwife came out with a basin of water stained with blood.

"How's it going inside? Is sister Li okay?" Song Gege asked the midwife first.

This made Minning feel surprised. In the past, Song Gege gave her the impression of being taciturn, never actively competing for favor, and having no sense of presence in the backyard. How could she care about Li Gege this time?

Minning took a deep look at her, then looked at the midwife and waited for her answer.

The midwife said with a worried face: "The situation is very bad. According to my experience, the baby is head-up, so the baby must be adjusted in order to give birth."

Minning immediately said: "Just tell me what you need, I will open the warehouse to pick it up."

"I have to ask a doctor to prescribe a prescription for this, and Li Gege must increase his physical strength first."

"I have invited the imperial physician, and I will help Li Gege make a diagnosis when he arrives."

The midwife took another pot of hot water and walked into the house, and the maid beside Li Gege, Qiu Yun, went in with a bowl of noodles.

"Since Sister Li can still eat, it means the situation is not that bad." Minning said to Song Gege with a sigh of relief.

Zhang Qilin quickly rushed to the yard, and Minning immediately said to him, "Go back and arrest everyone who has been to the garden in the past two days, and you must find out why Li Gege fell. Also, the road in the garden is cleaned every day. Why there are stones appearing, and they appear at Li Gege's feet accurately, this matter must be investigated."

Zhang Qilin responded.

Minning, who was talking to him, didn't see it, and Song Gege suddenly lowered his head.

The imperial doctor was quickly invited over, because he took the name of the fourth master to invite, and the concubine Defei in the palace also learned that the eldest son Gege was about to give birth in the mansion, so she sent an old nanny over to help take care of him with.

Minning probably knew what Concubine De meant, because she was afraid that someone would tamper with Li Gege when she gave birth.Min Ning had no ghosts in his heart, so he handed over the matter to the old mama and let it go, then left the yard.

Regardless of whether they had any other thoughts in their hearts, the others followed An Gege to leave.

Minning didn't fall asleep all night, and he could vaguely hear Li Gege's dry howling in his yard.When I was half awake in the middle of the night, I suddenly heard that someone came to report that Li Gege was born.

After waking up the next day, Minning remembered what happened at night. After asking, he learned that Li Gege gave birth to an elder brother at four o'clock in the morning. Although the younger brother was born prematurely, he was fine except for his weak body.

As for Li Gege, who was very tired before, he is still falling asleep now.

"Li Gege is really lucky. He succeeded in one fell swoop. He lost a little elder brother before and thought he would never get up again. Unexpectedly, God gave him back another elder brother in a blink of an eye." Biying said, looking at Minning's stomach again , Then ran to Guanyin to worship.

Minning laughed, and called Mo Yu who was on the side, "Go to the warehouse to find some things that are not easy to manipulate and send them to Li Gege, just congratulate her for giving birth to a little brother, and let her take care of her when she wakes up." Rest, I will go to see her again after the child is washed."

Mo Yu accepted the errand and went to do it quickly.

It was already afternoon when Li Gege woke up, his first reaction after hearing this was to curl his lips, and then ordered someone to bring the little elder brother.

"Emiang's little elder brother, you have to live well and live together with your brother's share." Thinking of Hongyu who died earlier, Li Gege shed tears.

Qiu Yun beside her hurriedly comforted her, "Ge Ge, you have a little elder brother again, why are you crying and you should be happy."

Li Gege wiped his tears with a handkerchief, "You're right, I can't cry. By the way, find out who did the garden?"

Qiu Yun replied: "An Gege asked Eunuch Zhang to investigate because he was afraid of getting his hands on it. Now he has investigated many little palace ladies and eunuchs. Gege, do you think An Gege did it himself? The thief shouted "Stop the thief?"

Gege Li shook her head immediately, "It can't be Angege, she didn't put her heart on the backyard." Then she seemed to think of something, grabbed Qiuyun with both hands, with panic in her eyes, "It's Fujin, it must be Fujin!"

Qiu Yun hurriedly shook her hand, "Ge Ge, how could it be Fujin? You forgot, Fujin is not in the mansion!"

Li Gege stared at her, "You don't understand, Fujin is taking revenge, she is not in the mansion, just to get rid of suspicion."

Probably because Li Gege moved too much, the little elder brother in the swaddling baby started to cry, and Li Gege woke up startled, "Er Niang's second brother will not cry or cry." She said, sticking to her son's face, "Er Niang Will protect you, and will not let you end up in the same fate as your brother."

Qiu Yun on the side immediately covered his mouth when he heard the shocking news.

The serious master of the Baylor Mansion was not there, and the newborn little elder brother was in a hurry, and the old mother protected Li Gege after giving birth to the child, and then returned to the palace to report.

And Zhang Qilin's head is also getting big, and he didn't find the person who did it at all. All kinds of traces showed that it was just an accident, and the origin of the stone was also found out. It was on a cobblestone road next to it, and it should have loosened after a long time. Was accidentally taken to Garden Road.

The reason why Li Gege stepped on it was purely bad luck. This is the only result of the investigation. Li Gege has no objection, and stays in the yard for confinement with peace of mind.

Since Li Gege didn't make a fuss, Minning didn't care about it anymore, and just waited for Fourth Master to come back to deal with it.

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, she was relieved to send gifts to various prefectures and receive gifts in return.

And at this moment, she received an explosive news that the missing Mr. Zheng had been found!
