Chapter 846 Today’s Xinbao tells today’s wife
Some of the most skilled embroiderers in the palace were able to easily master this kind of work.
Yan Shirong directly took the small piece and the tuft of rabbit hair. The next day, he harvested several sweater pieces, which were larger than the handkerchief and convenient for making patterns.
Some are pure rabbit hair, some are pure wool, some are mixed with cotton thread, and some are mixed with silk thread.
Then after the morning court session, Emperor Mingpei and his men stretched and tried it one by one with great interest.
It is true that pure silk will have greater elasticity, but silk mixed with silk thread is also very elastic.
Pure rabbit hair and wool will be torn if you tear them hard. Those mixed with silk thread are not easy to tear, and they will work even if only one strand of silk thread is mixed in.
But the cost is also high.
But this is being given out to people to make, not being given away for free, so it’s okay if the cost is a little higher.
Yan Shirong thought about it and said, "If we let Xinbao raise rabbits now, it will take at least a month to raise a batch and then send them over. The rabbits have food to eat now, but in a few days there will be nothing for people to eat. And the quality is hard to control... So it's better to let the inner court do it directly, let the inner court collect a batch first, try spinning and dyeing, and then send the thread directly."
"Then have someone come up with a few more patterns and teach a few more people. As long as they are sent out around winter, a month will be enough time for these people to learn. If they can't make clothes, they can knit socks first. It's enough for one person in the family to learn. The main thing is to have a livelihood and earn a few copper coins, so they won't be worried."
Emperor Mingpei nodded.
He went to the West Warm Pavilion leisurely and called Xu Zhiyu over to chat for a while.
As a result, Yan Ke came over while they were chatting, and Emperor Mingpei asked, "What's the matter?"
Yan Ke smiled and said, "My master has something to say to me and Master Xu."
Emperor Mingpei gestured to him to speak.
Yan Ke said, "The master said that there are a lot of these things, and she may not remember them all at once, so there is no need to collect them all before doing them, you can do them one by one, so from now on, Master Xu does not need to come in the morning, you can come in the afternoon."
Xu Zhiyu nodded repeatedly and then left.
Emperor Mingpei twitched his lips.
Needless to say, Tuanzi must have felt that he didn't work in the morning and still had to eat their meal, so she felt sorry for Yeye's salary.
I don’t know who he takes this stingy personality from.
You know what, that’s exactly what Xinbao thought.
She came over happily after practicing martial arts, and Emperor Mingpei even told her, "Raise more rabbits."
Xinbao nodded: "I see, Xinbao raised it yesterday."
She said, "Xinbao, feed the rabbits until they grow bigger. In the future, we can give each of their families a rabbit. The rabbit fur can be used to make sweaters, the rabbit skin can be used as a coat, and the rabbit meat can be eaten. Nothing will be wasted..."
Emperor Mingpei said, "It's too troublesome to let them process the rabbit hair themselves, and it's hard to control the thickness of the thread, so the inner court will spin and dye the thread, and then give them the thread and needles. We can also give them rabbit skin and rabbit meat, but we'll give them after they've processed them."
Xinbao nodded: "Oh!"
She planned to knit a pair of socks for Yeye, his parents, his brother, his wife, and his apprentice in the space... But she had never done such delicate work in the space, and Yan Ji didn't know how to do it either, so from time to time her eyes would go blank and she would forget to write.
Emperor Mingpei saw it but did not urge her.
In fact, she had spent a lot more time practicing calligraphy recently because she had to write letters. She only changed the writing to Xu Zhiyu in the past few days, so it was okay to be lazy occasionally.
In the afternoon, Xu Zhiyu came over and continued to help her write letters.
Then Emperor Mingpei said: "From now on, you will have to attend the morning court every day."
Xu Zhiyu quickly agreed.
Xu Zhiyu represented the little princess, and his attendance at the morning court was a signal. In this way, he could submit memorials in time if there were any matters, and it would also be convenient for him to make connections.
I will continue to help Xinbao write letters in the afternoon...
Xu Zhiyu wrote a few sentences and took the initiative to ask: "The minister below still remembers that Your Highness can take a rest. I will finish writing this paragraph."
Xinbao: “……???”
She asked blankly, "What do you mean?"
Xu Zhiyu was at a loss: "Aren't the letters your Highness wrote these days all the same?"
Xinbao was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red, and she argued loudly: "No way!! It's not at all!! You are talking nonsense!! Xinbao didn't do that!!"
Xu Zhiyu was shocked and had no idea what he had said wrong, so he quickly knelt down and apologized.
Xinbao was angry for a while and asked him, "Don't you have a wife?"
Xu Zhiyu quickly said, "I got married three years ago."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Xinbao asked, "Are you not good to your wife?"
Xu Zhiyu: “……?”
He quickly said, "I won't do that."
She said, "When you go home every day, does your wife ask you, 'You're home?'"
Xu Zhiyu said: "Yes."
Xin Baoju said in a sonorous voice: "Why does she ask every day? Because today's 'returned' refers to you today, not yesterday, nor tomorrow!! Every day's 'returned' is unique! She can't report the date every day, September 20th you returned? September 21st you returned... like this! Is that right!!"
Xu Zhiyu said repeatedly: "Yes! Your Highness is right!!"
Xinbao said, "So, even if Xinbao used a few similar words when he wrote to his wife, this letter is still different from the previous ones! These words are spoken by today's Xinbao, and are spoken to today's wife. Xinbao must say them personally!! Even if he didn't write them personally, they are extremely sincere! Do you understand?"
Xu Zhiyu said repeatedly: "I understand."
Xinbao snorted: "Then get up, and don't do this again in the future."
Emperor Mingpei watched the show and drank a sip of tea with a smile.
Xu Zhiyu wiped the sweat off his head, picked up the pen, and listened to Xinbao continue to say: "Xinbao misses you so much, I can't eat or sleep well..."
Then she finally finished and said to him, "Leave a little space for Xinbao. Xinbao wants to write a few words by himself."
Xu Zhiyu agreed repeatedly and put down his pen.
Xinbao urged him, "Go and chat with Yeye. Go ahead. You don't have to accompany Xinbao."
Xu Zhiyu could only bow and step back. Xinbao glanced at him before picking up a pen and starting to write. While writing, he would steal glances at him from time to time.
Not only was Emperor Mingpei evil, even Xu Zhiyu himself could see it... He was writing bad things about him and complaining to his wife.
Xinbao, the new assistant, is good-looking but not very smart. He can’t even see how deeply Xinbao loves his wife...and so on.
Then Xinbao finished writing it secretly, and secretly gave it to Huashuang to pass it on. After she came back, she suddenly remembered something, paused, and her eyes widened.
Emperor Mingpei asked, "What's wrong?"
