He was surprised at her keenness.
But because her question was so direct, he couldn't deny it and nodded.
Tang Shiyue widened her eyes and looked at him carefully: "Then you..."
Before he could speak, she waved her hands desperately: "No, no, just pretend I didn't ask! No matter who you are, don't tell me. I'm just a country girl and I don't know anything. I can't guess. Let's just pretend we don't know. Otherwise, we'll have to bow to you every time we see you. That's so troublesome!"
Yan Dong: “…”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was simply at a loss for words, this reason... was really great.
Then Tang Shiyue said quickly: "If it is given to the emperor, then there is absolutely no problem! The emperor wears it! Then our Yuefang's reputation will be immediately improved! Where can you find such an advertising effect!"
She smiled and asked him to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, and brought him some snacks: "Mr. Yan, how many sets do you want?"
Yan Dong said: "If possible, can I have a few more sets?"
"How many more sets do you want?"
...
...
Yan Dong thought for a moment and said, "To present to the Emperor, at least two sets are needed, right? For the Empress and other concubines, more than a dozen sets?"
Tang Shiyue's smile gradually disappeared: "Are you planning to live here for a year or so?"
Yan Dong was stunned: "Is this kind of thing difficult to make? Can't everyone hurry up and work on it?"
"It's not easy." Tang Shiyue said, "Yuefong has just opened, and there are not many people who can do this. In addition, only one person can knit one thing, otherwise the stitches will be different and it will look uneven. Even a quick lady will need at least half a month to knit a set of clothes."
Yan Dong frowned and asked, "Can you try to get it out before the New Year?"
Years ago? Tang Shiyue shook her head in embarrassment, "Even if the sweater, woolen pants, and robe are knitted separately, it will take at least ten days... Even if you don't sleep, you can't see clearly at night. If you make a mistake in knitting, it will be a waste of time."
Yan Dong frowned.
Tang Shiyue said, "I suggest that you only give it to the emperor. Scarcity makes things valuable. Too many will be worthless. How about this? I will try my best to make two sets for you before the New Year. They are different colors and styles, and I will only give them to the emperor."
Yan Dong thought about it and nodded: "Thank you very much."
He told him about the emperor's approximate stature, and Tang Shiyue spent a day carefully designing two sets of clothes, which were three-piece suits consisting of a sweater, woolen trousers, and a robe.
After all, it was a gift to the emperor, so apart from the color matching, it couldn't be without any other features. It had to be a big hit, which involved new features that were not originally planned to be taught.
Tang Shiyue called Qiao Sangyu over and discussed the matter in detail, then called a few quick and clever young ladies over, a total of six people, each responsible for one task. A room was left empty for them to work on.
As for Tang Shiyue, firstly, she is lazy, and secondly, her hands are not very fast, so she only makes hats, scarves, socks, and other four and a half items, which can be delivered separately when the time comes.
Yan Dong was very concerned about this matter and came to check from time to time. Tang Shiyue suddenly had an idea and advised him with a smile: "Do you know Sibaoban?"
Yan Dong nodded, and Tang Shiyue said, "How about this, you have nothing to do anyway, you can weave a set of four treasures and a half by yourself! It's very simple, even if you are clumsy, you can weave it in a few days. No matter how good it is, it's also a token of your love!"
Yandong was actually persuaded by her.
Such a classically handsome man in a long robe, sitting cross-legged on the couch and knitting gloves with his head down, does not look feminine at all!
Moreover, he has black hair, a jade-like face, and arched eyelashes, which give him a kind of aura and an inexplicable elegance... It is true that appearance is justice, both in ancient and modern times.
The most ridiculous thing is that he can actually knit quite well! He is almost as good as her!
My fingers were stiff at first, but in less than half an hour I was able to do it pretty well, except that it was a little slow.
As for the people at home now, Huo Qijing was planning to go to Anlan Pass right after the Chinese New Year, so he had been running around making arrangements. Tang Shirong and Tang Junchen were preparing for the exam after the Chinese New Year, and they were still racing against time under the supervision of Xu Wenqu. Ren Dong and Huo Nan were still in devilish training. Sheng Qi had made countless friends in the village, and he would disappear as soon as he put down his bowl every day...
In the whole house, only Tang Shiyue and Yandong were idle.
The days when the two of them sat together, knitting sweaters and chatting, the scene was very strange.
What Yan Dong didn't expect was that the person who reacted most strongly was Huo Qi Yang.
The little guy almost had the words "competing for favor" written all over his face, and even warned him behind his back: "I won't let my sister marry you, don't waste your efforts!"
A snow-white, soft and cute little boy with big eyes, no matter how serious his expression was, he had no deterrent power. But after he made some harsh remarks, he turned around and saw Tang Shiyue, and he immediately sniffed and his eyes were filled with tears. He looked so wronged, pitiful and helpless. Even Sheng Qi who came in later couldn't stand it and gave him a look that implicitly asked, "Can you please not bully children?"
Tang Shiyue quickly hugged him: "Ayang, dear, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Qi Yang hugged her neck and sobbed, "Sister, don't be friends with him. He is not a good person."
"Well, sister won't be with him," Tang Shiyue agreed without hesitation, ruffling his hair, "only with Ayang, don't worry, sister won't abandon you, I will always be with you."
Xiao Qiyang burst into tears: "Then why doesn't he leave?"
"Because I want to make money from him!" Tang Shiyue gently comforted him: "I will drive him away after I have cheated him of his money."
Yan Dong: “…”
The two of them stayed together for a long time before he left.
Yan Dong frowned and said, "Is this Huo Qijing's brother? His biological brother?"
Tang Shiyue nodded, and Yan Dong said speechlessly: "This... doesn't look like the descendant of a divine general at all."
Tang Shiyue immediately became angry, glared at him angrily, and forced herself not to say anything.
Yan Dong said: "Did I say something wrong?"
"Are you a generous person?" Tang Shiyue asked, "Will my telling the truth have any impact on our cooperation? Will you retaliate against me secretly?"
Yan Dong: “…”
What could he say? He could only say, "No, just say it."
She immediately stood up and slammed the table. "What do you mean by descendants of a divine general? Your statement is wrong! Must the son of a prime minister be the prime minister? Must the son of a first minister be the first minister? Even if he is the son of an emperor, not everyone is the emperor. So why do you demand that the descendants of a divine general must be a divine general?"
Sheng Qi was stunned.
He had just come in to get some snacks, but after just a few words, she started scolding Yandong!
This, this is too bold!
Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does have a good temper, he is a man who values rules, and being scolded by others...
Sheng Qi tried to interrupt, but after opening his mouth several times, he failed to get a word in.
He hesitated for a long time, but finally slowly, slowly, slid along the wall, went out the door, and ran away.
Tang Shiyue continued, "Have you really understood Huo Yi? He is a world-famous calligraphy and painting master, and his achievements in calligraphy and painting are enough to go down in history. But just because his father was a divine general, and his father's father was also a divine general, you insist on making him a divine general as well. What's the difference between this and asking Fang Xuanling to fight in the war and Yuchi Jingde to study? No matter how talented a person is, he can't achieve much if he is in a position that doesn't suit him. Otherwise, why is there the saying 'know people and assign them to the right positions'?"
"So, Huo Yi's tragedy is that he was born into the wrong family, and those of you who use inertial thinking to fan the flames are all bloodless executioners!"
Yan Dong: “…”
Yan Dong said slowly after a while: "What you said... does make some sense."
