Prince Rui was enjoying his daily outings, leaving Zhao Qinglin idle in the back office.
But she quickly found amusement: operating a sewing machine.
Tap tap tap, a little garment was quickly sewn from her hands.
"Oh my, this is so useful."
This speed is incredible. Normally, it would take at least two hours to sew one like this, but with this, it's all done in a quarter of an hour.
"Where can I buy one of these? I want to buy one for my mom."
Zhao Qinglin said, admiring the little garment she had sewn.
Mrs. Huang laughed and said, "You're quite the filial son. Grandma doesn't have the final say on the sewing machine."
This was something that Qingyang researched.
"If you'd like to partner with the young prince in business, you can ask Qingyang."
This really surprised Zhao Qinglin.
"Grandma, are you telling the truth? Such a magical object was actually made by that brat Qingyang."
My goodness, that's amazing!
Where is that kid Qingyang? I want to go and beg him for help.
Zhao Qinglin was so excited that she was incoherent when Prince Rui, who had just returned from shopping, entered the room.
"My wife, whose leg do you want to cling to? Aren't my legs thick enough?"
The Prince Rui's words clearly revealed his burning jealousy.
Zhao Qinglin rolled her eyes at him, "I don't need to cling to the prince's leg, it's already mine anyway."
"Come and look at this garment! How's the stitching? Isn't it perfectly even?"
Zhao Qinglin boldly handed the little garment she had just sewn to Prince Rui.
When Prince Rui opened the package, he immediately blushed.
His eyes quickly swept over Huang, who was sitting to one side.
Huang finished the rest of her tea, stood up, and tapped her lower back.
"Sigh, people just get old and useless. I've been sitting for a while and my back and waist are aching. I need to go back and lie down for a bit."
You young people can have fun by yourselves.
After Huang left, there were no outsiders left in the house. Prince Rui looked at his wife with a helpless expression.
"Wife, why are you showing this to your husband?"
Zhao Qinglin was not on the same page as Prince Rui at all.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Look at these stitches, how neat and even they are!
My husband practices martial arts, so it must be difficult for him to chop firewood into pieces of the same size, right?
This is something I just sewed, isn't it amazing?
Upon hearing that it was his own wife's work, he naturally thought it was impressive and praised her highly.
As a result, Prince Rui praised her for a long time, but Zhao Qinglin just listened with a smile and didn't say a word.
"My wife, what's wrong with you today? You should at least give me some response, right? I'm at a loss for words."
Zhao Qinglin patted Prince Rui's arm.
"Great, great, you've praised it very well and comprehensively, I'm very satisfied."
"Come on, let me show you where the source of my prowess lies."
As she spoke, she pulled Prince Rui to the side of the sewing machine.
Prince Rui looked at the strange new things added to the room, quite puzzled.
Zhao Qinglin picked up the cloth beside her.
Place it under the presser foot, press down the presser foot, use your hands to roll the roller, and coordinate with your feet; soon the two pieces of cloth are joined together.
The stitches were exactly the same as the ones Zhao Qinglin had just shown him.
Even the well-informed Prince Rui was utterly shocked.
"This is amazing! It's simply a masterpiece. My wife, where did this come from?"
Zhao Qinglin was extremely proud.
"This thing was made by Qingyang's cousin."
He personally drew the blueprints and, together with blacksmiths and carpenters, hammered it out one hammer blow at a time.
"How about that? Pretty impressive, right?"
Prince Rui nodded, "Impressive, truly amazing. My wife, can both men and women use this?"
Zhao Qinglin nodded, "Of course. As long as it's not missing an arm or a leg, it can be used."
Extremely fast.
This is more suitable for mass-producing clothing that doesn't require elaborate patterns.
Prince Rui rubbed the stitches with his hands and tried to use it himself. After several attempts, he gradually became proficient.
"Wife, can my cousin still make this?"
Zhao Qinglin giggled.
“I knew you would ask that question. My cousin has already partnered with the young prince on this deal.”
As for the specific production and sale, if my husband wants to buy some, he'll have to go to the young prince.
I heard my cousin has invented a new watch that can accurately measure time; perhaps you should go and take a look, my husband.
Prince Rui returned to his room in a daze.
"My lady, have all the members of the Zhao family taken some kind of smart drug? How come you're all so smart?"
I wonder if the little one in your belly will be as smart as his uncles.
Prince Rui's silly words made Zhao Qinglin laugh continuously.
"A nephew is like his uncle; he must be intelligent."
It's a pity that my two younger cousins were not selected for the imperial examination because they were too young.
Otherwise, the two of them would be the youngest Jinshi (successful candidates in the highest imperial examinations) in our Divine Dragon Kingdom.
With my cousin's abilities, a position in the Ministry of Works wouldn't be unreasonable, would it?
Zhao Qinglin took the opportunity to speak up for her cousin.
"It's not just not an exaggeration, it's absolutely perfect."
Those old guys in the Ministry of Works have been in that position for so many years, but they haven't produced anything worthwhile.
Compared to my brother-in-law, I'm nowhere near as good.
Now that he had something fun, Prince Rui naturally wanted to give it to the people he cared about.
In the palace, the emperor was presented with a large grandfather clock.
However, they don't call it a clock, they call it a timer.
The emperor was deeply moved; he felt that his son had not been spoiled in vain.
Princess Yan Yue was given a sewing machine.
The Emperor and Empress were of one mind; whatever the Emperor had, the Empress had to have too. It's just that the clock she received wasn't as big as the Emperor's.
I don't know who noticed the difference in size between the Emperor's and Empress's clocks.
When Han Xuri later started selling clocks, he found that the largest clocks were not selling well, while the smaller ones were selling extremely well.
After making several inquiries, Han Xuri was left speechless, both amused and exasperated.
In fact, shouldn't smaller watches be more valuable?
In order to sell those large clocks at a high price,
Having no other option, Han Xuri ordered the workshop to specially produce a gigantic clock.
They were carried directly into the palace.
To make the emperor's uncle feel honored, the dial of this enormous clock is inlaid with colorful gemstones.
The watch case is also extremely luxurious.
Only after the emperor acquired the largest clock did his ministers dare to purchase even larger clocks for their households.
Seeing that the initial batch of giant BBQ machines had been sold, Han Xuri felt a sense of relief.
Only what's sold is money, and then he took the account book to the palace to find his uncle, the emperor, to split the profits.
"The sewing machine didn't make much money; it's kind of a useless thing."
Poor families can't afford it, but rich families have embroiderers.
Unless it's a middle-class family that's not good at needlework, they might buy one to prevent their daughter from being gossiped about after she gets married.
However, this timer has proven quite profitable.
