"Sir, look, this is the sweater and trousers that the princess asked Sister Guyu to make for me!"
Wang Lifu happily took out his new sweater and trousers to show Master Wang, and put on the sweater to show it to him.
"Sir, this woolen sweater is very warm to wear. When wool is available in the fall, I will ask my mother to buy some wool and make you a set of sweaters and trousers."
Master Wang smiled and looked through the sweaters and trousers, then said, "You are a very lucky boy." As he spoke, he looked a little sighing.
With these warm sweaters and trousers, the people of Xiliang will have a much better time in winter.
Wang Lifu lovingly folded the sweater and trousers and said, "Princess, you are really amazing. You can weave clothes with just bamboo sticks. This will give the herders an extra source of income in the future."
Master Wang smiled and said, "Yes, the prince is capable, and the princess is also capable. It is a blessing for the people of Xiliang that they can come to Xiliang."
Not only can herders earn extra income by selling wool, but even women with skillful hands can earn money to supplement their family income.
The Quartermaster Department recruited a large number of women to spin wool and knit sweaters.
Once the method of knitting sweaters becomes widely known, there will definitely be merchants who buy them. There are not many sheep herders in other inland provinces, so it will definitely be profitable to sell sweaters and other items elsewhere.
By then, more herders and women will be able to earn some money for their families.
In the blink of an eye, it was May.
On the Dragon Boat Festival, Daohua sent gifts to the officials of Liangdu according to the old custom, and invited Han Xinran, He Fangyi, and some wives of officials whom Xiao Yeyang valued to appreciate the flowers. After that, she began to prepare for her son's second birthday ceremony.
On May 11th, Daohua got up early in the morning and went to the kitchen to make longevity noodles.
In the dining room, seeing Daohua coming over with the longevity noodles, Gu Jian immediately smiled at Daohua in his arms and said, "Today, thanks to you, everyone can eat the longevity noodles made by your mother."
Daohua was a bit amused and said, "Master, if you want to eat the food I cook, just tell me. How can I not cook it?"
Gu Jian placed Daozi on his special children's chair and said, "Forget it. You are usually busy enough. The chef in the mansion is pretty good."
Daohua smiled and said, "I will cook more often in the future." As she said that, she served longevity noodles to everyone and then sat in front of her son.
"Today we're having noodles, but the spoon can't scoop it up, so mom will feed you."
The little guy can now use a spoon and is in the process of learning. When he saw his mother trying to feed him, he quickly protested: "No, eat by yourself."
Seeing this, Daohua didn't insist on feeding Daozi. She placed the bowl in front of her son and said, "Eat it yourself."
Daozi used a small spoon to scoop, but couldn't scoop up a single noodle. He was so angry and anxious.
Seeing this, Daohua smiled and asked, "Do you want mom to feed you? If so, just tell me."
The rice looked at the rice flowers and saw that its mother did not come to feed it. It pouted, then lowered its head and scooped up the noodles, looking as if it was trying hard to knead the noodles.
Gu Jian ate the noodles in the bowl in two or three mouthfuls, then sat down in front of Daozi: "Come, let the ancestor feed you."
Daozi glanced at the rice flowers again, and seeing that her mother was only busy eating her own food, she reluctantly gave the spoon to Gu Jian.
Gu Jian laughed and said, "You little brat, now you only know how to pick people."
After breakfast, Daohua saw that Xiao Yeyang hadn't left the house and asked, "Aren't you going to the government office today?"
Xiao Yeyang: "I wasn't with my son when he was one year old. I have to make time to be with him today."
Daohua smiled and said, "My son will be very happy. I just had a craftsman make two wooden bats and some wooden balls out of solid wood. I wanted to play with him when I was free. Now that you are here, why don't you play with him?"
Xiao Yeyang agreed immediately.
Daohua asked Guyu to bring a wooden stick and a wooden ball. Xiao Yeyang held Daozi and started playing in the yard.
Wooden sticks and wooden balls, rice flowers are defended according to the golf balls in the previous life.
It was a little difficult for the two-year-old son to hit the wooden ball into the pit with a wooden stick, so Daohua asked Xiao Yeyang and her son to stand on each side, and they played by hitting the ball back and forth.
Daozi is lively and active by nature. With Xiao Yeyang accompanying him and games to play, the little guy never stops laughing.
Around noon, Yan Wenxiu and his wife and Su Hongxin and his wife came to the palace together.
Xiao Yeyang wanted to accompany Yan Wenxiu and Su Hongxin, so Daohua asked Guyu to put away the wooden stick and wooden ball.
Seeing Daozi pouting, as if she hadn't had enough fun, Daohua smiled and pointed at Su Hongxin's daughter, and whispered to her son:
"Sister Nianfei is here. Can you take her to your children's room and play with building blocks with Qiaojie?"
Daozi looked at Su Nianfei, thought that the colorful building blocks were also fun, and nodded.
Daohua specially cleaned up a room as a place for her son to play.
The wing room was covered with thick carpets and filled with various toys. Daohua sent her son, Su Nianfei, and Qiaojie'er into the room and did not let the maids in. She let the three little ones play by themselves while she talked and chatted with Han Xinran and He Fangyi in the outer room.
He Fangyi saw the house made of building blocks in the room and instantly became interested: "How did you make this building block? When I get home, I'll make one for Nianfei too, so she won't be bored all day and only know how to stick to me."
Daohua smiled and said, "It's very simple. Just use wood, make various shapes, dye them, and then let the children build patterns at will. If you want one, I'll ask the carpenter in the mansion to make another one."
He Fangyi quickly smiled and thanked him.
Han Xinran also spoke up: "If it's not too much trouble, make two more and I'll take them back to my two kids at home."
Daohua smiled and agreed: "No problem, since my eldest sister-in-law wants to take it home, I will make a few more and prepare one for my third brother's child as well."
During lunch, He Fangyi saw Daozi eating by herself in a children's chair. Then she looked at her daughter in her arms who still needed her to feed her, and said with a wry smile:
"I'm going to make a chair like Daozi's when I get back. My Nianfei is over a year older than Daozi and still needs someone to feed her."
Daohua smiled and said, "It's okay for a girl to be pampered a little."
Han Xinran: "Big sister, how can you come up with so many strange things? I also bought two of the carts I had earlier and sent them back to the capital."
Daohua smiled and said, "I saw it in a book and thought it was interesting, so I asked the craftsmen to try making it. I never thought they would succeed."
Han Xinran and He Fangyi both knew that Daohua was being modest and did not ask any more questions.
In the afternoon, Daohua waited until Daozi, Su Nianfei and Qiaojie were tired from playing before having the cake brought in.
Daohua held Daozi's hand, cut the cake, and then asked him to take it to everyone: "Today is your birthday. Your uncles and others came to celebrate your birthday and gave you gifts. You have to take out your birthday cake and share it with them."
Daozi looked at and smiled at his parents, picked up a piece of cake and walked straight towards Gu Jian, followed by Guo Ruomei and others.
Soon, there was only one piece of cake left on the table.
Daozi held the cake and looked at Su Hongxin who had not yet received the cake. After hesitating for a moment, he gave the cake to him, then turned to look at Daohua, curled his lips, and tears began to well up in his eyes.
He has no cake to eat!
Seeing this, Daohua was relieved and amused. She quickly squatted down, picked up her son, and handed him her piece of cake: "Mom has more here."
The tears in Daozi's eyes receded. She scooped up the cake and started eating it, and immediately smiled: "It's delicious." As she said that, she scooped up another piece of cake with a spoon and fed it to Daohua's mouth.
Rice Flower ate it and said with a smile, "The cake made by Rice Flower is really delicious."
