Chapter 431 Combing Wool

It was difficult to keep Madam Wu Ya. Mida City was Song Liyun's future home and also a shopping mall. If it could be completed soon, all parties would naturally benefit.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, my father-in-law! Ah Yun, I'll have someone pack up some freshly spun wool for your uncle Kui. I want the finest quality. Take it back and your family can weave it into cloth to keep them warm."

According to Song Liyun's order, the tribe now not only has to weave carpets, but also spin wool into fine yarn and supply it to thousands of shops for sale.

Since the beginning of winter, cashmere yarn has been in hot demand and in short supply.

Song Dekui laughed heartily: "Okay, I'll shamelessly accept it!"

Cashmere yarn is a good thing, but Lin Qingyuan didn’t come this time.

If someone who is obsessed with money comes, he will have to compete with you and it will take a lot of effort to get out of the situation.

Song Dekui took his men away that day. Song Liyun would not return home for three days, and Xiao An would also stay in the tribe, planning to wait until the spring snow melted before Song Liyun sent him back to Suijin Town.

Three days later, snowflakes began to fall, and the Wuda tribe was once again plunged into sorrow.

But this time, everyone didn’t feel too much pain, but more nostalgia.

The colorful silks left over from the wedding are still fluttering in the wind, like a rainbow after the rain heralding the arrival of sunshine.

At this time last year, the Mida Valley was still filled with blood.

This year, those tribes have been annexed by Wuda and are resting and recuperating. The grassland is quiet and there is nothing to do.

With the support of the northern army of Hecheng Town, part of the soldiers of the Lei Camp who originally stayed in the Wuda tribe were stationed in the Mida River Valley, and the rest stayed in Kala Mountain and the nearby tribes to spend the winter.

Therefore, Zhao Tingduo had some free time for the time being and could just enjoy her honeymoon peacefully.

He led people to train horses during the day, and at night he would be energetic and intimate with Song Liyun.

This caused Song Liyun to have dark circles under her eyes, and she kept yawning while spinning wool yarn with the beggar lady and others during the day.

Aunt Qi and Madam Wuya were both experienced people, so they could see the reason.

I am glad that my husband and I have a good relationship and that we can have a grandson sooner.

But she also felt a little distressed because Song Liyun's delicate body was at a disadvantage in this matter.

So, in addition to bird's nest, Madam Wu Ya also took out a lot of supplements sent from the palace for Song Liyun to eat.

A bowl of bird's nest in the morning and a bowl of snow frog soup in the afternoon. Song Li didn't dare to eat like this, so she had to find another way.

As a result, Zhao Tingduo had a nosebleed in public during a meal, which exposed the fact that there was a substitute for the meal.

There was no other way, so Madam Wuya had to call her son over and ask him to be more restrained and not to tire Ayun out.

Zhao Tingduo's nosebleed at the dinner table caused a stir in the tribe.

The boy who grew up with Zhao Tingduo is now of marriageable age.

Several of them had already arranged marriages with other tribes, and before winter came they had offered cattle and sheep as betrothal gifts in exchange for brides.

Now that he heard that the young master got married and still had a nosebleed, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and chuckle a few times when he saw her.

Zhao Tingduo was so angry that he dragged them to run around on the grassland to train their horses. At night, he fell into a deep sleep on the couch and didn't have the energy to laugh at himself.

But there was an undercurrent among those noble ladies.

In a large tent, several girls were busy working around a pile of wool.

The tribe does not keep idle people. Although they do not need to go to the grassland to herd sheep or collect cow dung, they still have to work.

Their job was to use bone combs to comb the tangled wool into bundles, which were then handed over to others to spin.

Everyone sitting in a circle had gloomy faces and was working hard. The delicate hands that used to paint with pens and apply flowers in front of the mirror now had to touch the wool with a special smell.

Only when they put down a bouquet did they look up and exchange glances with each other. When they looked up again, they were looking in the same direction.

In a corner, Wan Youyou was wearing a sheepskin robe and slowly arranging the wooden bob for thread with her eyes lowered.

When the girls looked up again, their eyes fell on Wan Youyou's pale red sheepskin robe. They couldn't help but curl their lips and mutter, "She's really unworthy of coming from such a lowly background. She just came to the grassland and she's already wearing such tattered stuff!"

The weather on the grassland was cold, and the wind blew strongly from morning to night. The cotton robes they were wearing could no longer withstand the wind.

Instead of the mink fur and velvet they had received in the past, Aunt Xu only brought them a few old sheepskin robes for them to wear.

Although the sheepskin coat was warm, the cuffs and lapels had been worn to a shine by the wear of others.

Even though Aunt Xu asked everyone to sew cloth to cover themselves, and it still looked shiny, they still felt uncomfortable and would rather freeze to death than wear it.

Only Wan Youyou, who was born as a bitch, doesn't despise him.

One of the women, who had a long face, almond eyes and rosy cheeks, snorted coldly, "Her grandfather was just a guard in the Shangshu Mansion. He risked his life to save his master, so Shangshu Wan let Wan Shaoqing marry the guard's daughter as a concubine and gave birth to Wan Youyou.

You say, how can such a lowly servant who is seeking repayment for a favor be on equal footing with us?"

Another round-faced woman whispered, "Tang Qingluan, don't forget what Aunt Xu said. You and I have fallen into this state. We are both in trouble. How can we be divided into high and low?"

Tang Qingluan's eyes widened: "I am the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Rong's mansion..."

"You're still talking about the past, you're asking for your life!"

The round-faced woman was so scared when she saw Tang Qingluan screaming that she covered her mouth with her hand.

It was not known whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the wool in the round-faced woman's hand was not dropped, but was stuffed into Tang Qingluan's mouth.

Tang Qingluan was irritated by the wool and made "uh uh" sounds repeatedly. After she spit out the wool ball, she choked and cried.

She pulled the hair out of her mouth and angrily cursed at the round-faced woman, "Jiang Wanru, isn't that what you told me? And now you're deliberately trying to hurt me!"

Tang Qingluan's actions finally caused the cold woman next to her to look up: "Tang Qingluan, if you want to die, then die quickly. Don't drag us down."

Her voice was not loud, but Tang Qingluan seemed to be afraid of her, and her face immediately turned red: "Jiang Wanru, Cao Jing, you are bullying me!"

It is true that she is the legitimate daughter of Duke Rong, but when the late emperor was in power, Duke Rong was meddling in the Zhenbei Army in the court and colluded with officials to make things difficult for them.

When the late emperor passed away, he died at home out of fear of punishment, and all the people in the palace were sent by the current emperor to guard the imperial tomb.

Tang Qingluan was chosen by the Empress Dowager to be a palace maid and sent to the Dilu grassland only because she had an extraordinary appearance.

Jiang Wanru and Cao Jing are the relatives of the princesses of the eldest and third princes.

When the prince participated in the fight for the throne and did harm to the crown prince, the princess's family made great efforts.

Now the prince is imprisoned, the princes' wives' families on both sides have been raided, the men have been exiled to the border, and the women have been sent to serve as official slaves.

Tang Qingluan was afraid of them only because the princes were still around, and she might be able to get the new emperor's permission to leave the capital in a few years.

Maybe Cao Jing and her relatives can escape and return to Beijing.

Hearing Tang Qingluan accusing her of bullying, Cao Jing snorted coldly, her eyes filled with hatred: "Tang Qingluan, if you don't know how to live or die and provoke others, and provoke Nanny Xu to punish you, I will tell Nanny that you still miss Rongguo Mansion every day and want to go back to Rongguo Mansion!"
