Chapter 111 The Fifth Lady in the Story of Zhen Huan's Childbirth 10
Concubine Yi handed the sweater she had changed to Kangxi, "Your Majesty, this is the one made by the Fifth Lady.
I tried it on and it's very warm and comfortable to wear. It's perfect for wearing indoors in winter."
Kangxi took it in his hand, looked at it, tried it to see how warm it was, and asked Concubine Yi to put it on for him to see.
Although this sweater looks a bit strange, it is really warm.
Wear it inside in winter and put on a cotton jacket outside, and you can survive the winter. It is really a good thing.
If it can be popularized among the whole population, it will be a great achievement.
Kangxi nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad. Is this wool difficult to process? Is it expensive?"
Jingshu replied: "It's not a big deal. After a few steps to remove the grease and odor, it's spun into yarn, and then knitted with a few needles, it becomes a sweater.
The real cost, besides the wool, is labor."
Kangxi was very happy to hear this and said, "Lao Wu Fu Jin, go back and write down how to process the wool and how to make clothes, and have someone send it to me.
The people who process wool and weave clothes are also ready, and I will use them later.
Fifth Lady has made great contributions this time. What reward do you want?"
Jing Shu quickly declined: "A daughter-in-law doesn't need a reward. My Fifth Master passed away early, before he could help the Emperor. I, as a daughter-in-law, can only consider this as fulfilling my filial duty to him."
Kangxi nodded and said nothing more.
Jingshu tactfully said goodbye to Kangxi and Concubine Yi and went to Shoukang Palace.
When he arrived at Shoukang Palace, he presented a sweater to the empress dowager and received some gold and jade rewards from her.
Jingshu was not surprised that the Queen Mother wanted Jingshu's manpower and methods to process wool. The old lady's family was in Mongolia, where there was more wool. This was obviously a profitable business, so she naturally wanted to keep it for herself.
Jingshu replied directly, "The Human Emperor just said that they should all be sent to him. How about I go back and write down the specific instructions and send them to you?"
After hearing this, the Queen Mother no longer asked for the prescription.
It would be difficult for her, the empress dowager, to just snatch what the emperor wanted.
The reason she could live well in the palace was all thanks to the emperor's respect.
It is totally not worth it to go against the emperor for such a small benefit.
The Queen Mother didn't mention it again, and Jingshu felt relieved.
If the Queen Mother insisted on having this thing, she would have no choice but to give it to her.
She couldn't afford to offend either the Empress Dowager or Emperor Kangxi.
After bidding farewell to the Queen Mother, Jingshu returned to the memorial written by the prince.
Fortunately, I have practiced calligraphy before, otherwise I really can’t write well now.
Calligraphy is different from other calligraphy. It requires both memory and practice. If you rely solely on muscle memory, you still won’t be able to write well.
After writing it, she sent the memorial to Kangxi along with the person who had helped process the wool and several palace maids who had learned to knit sweaters, and then she stopped caring about the matter.
Old man Kangxi acted quickly and the first batch of finished products were produced soon.
After calculating the cost and time, Kangxi did not monopolize the business. Instead, he consulted with his ministers and started trading wool with Mongolia.
Jingshu received a lot of gold, silver and jewelry as rewards from Emperor Kangxi, and her father, Zhang Baozhu, was promoted to the fourth-rank official of the Taichang Temple.
Although this position does not have much real power, it is at least a fourth-rank official.
This can also be regarded as a reward for Jingshu's contribution.
Jingshu didn't care. She thought the way things were at home was pretty good.
It’s good not to have real power, because then you won’t become the target of the princes’ efforts to win over when they fight for the throne.
The days passed slowly.
Jingshu doesn't want to be in the spotlight anymore recently. She plans to wait and see what happens next before figuring out what to do next.
She mobilized the maids in the mansion to embroider. No matter if it was a round fan, a screen, a purse, or a pendant, she would accept it as long as it looked good.
The price is based on the price charged by embroidery shops outside.
Part of it is sent to his own shop to sell, and part of it is kept in his own space.
Some maids from ordinary families were quite happy to have such a job. They knew some needlework, and those who embroidered well could get a premium price, while those who embroidered mediocrely could be charged a normal price.
They provide their own materials and needles, so they can earn some extra money every month.
The three princesses before Yinqi were also given things to do to pass the time by Jingshu.
They can write storybooks, draw patterns, in short, they will not be idle all day long. If they are willing, they can earn some money from these things.
These women in Yinqi's mansion will probably have to live out their lives alone in the yard, so it would be good if they could find something to do to pass the time.
They also learned to knit.
Kangxi did not take away Jingshu's spinning machine, so now she can spin wool in the yard by herself.
All the wool from the imperial kitchen was brought back and spun into yarn and knitted into sweaters by these people.
In addition to learning embroidery and practicing music, chess, calligraphy and painting every day, Jingshu has now found a new hobby.
Just use your spiritual sense to see the excitement in the Fourth Prince's yard.
Neither of the Ulanara sisters is a simple person. Yixiu is good at forbearance, while Rouze is a white lotus who is good at asking men to fight for her.
It was the 39th year of the Kangxi reign. A few days ago, Yixiu's eldest prince had just passed away, and Rouze was also announced to be pregnant.
When the Fourth Master asked Yixiu to take care of Rouze, Jingshu saw in her consciousness that Yixiu had lowered her head, and her eyes looked like she could eat someone.
But the Fourth Master just sat there as if he felt nothing.
Wow, men are always so confident.
In the end, he was fooled around by a woman and even killed by her. It was not unfair at all.
Jingshu was in her own yard. When she saw Yinzhen asking Yixiu to serve Rouze, she wanted to rush over to help Yixiu kill Yinzhen. It was too bullying.
After all, it’s Yixiu who is really patient.
At the same time, Jingshu discovered that someone who shouldn't have appeared in the Fourth Master's house.
This person is Jingshu's half-sister, Tara Suyun. At the same time, Jingshu received the following plot.
It turned out that Tara Suyun was betrayed by someone.
Suyun is bound to a child-bearing system, and her mission is to give birth to children, the more the better.
Su Yun, who traveled through time, originally lived in a patriarchal family in the 21st century. After her accidental death, she traveled through time to Hetala's family in the Qing Dynasty.
She found out that her father only cared about her sister who married into the royal family and became the fifth concubine, and paid little attention to her, the illegitimate daughter. She then wanted to take revenge.
For Suyun, she had had enough of her parents' discriminatory treatment in her previous life, and she would never live that kind of life again in this life.
In fact, Tara's family really didn't treat her badly.
In this era, concubine's daughters and legitimate daughters are inherently different to the family.
What's more, Jingshu was chosen by the royal family to be the fifth concubine, so the family's focus would naturally shift a little.
Although the Fifth Master is gone, as long as Jingshu is around, if he encounters any injustice in Tara Mansion, at least there is someone who can help pass on the message.
When Suyun found herself in the world of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", she was overjoyed!
She didn't know how many times she had watched this drama and remembered the plot clearly.
She thought that as long as she could find an opportunity to become the Fourth Prince's woman, she would be confident that she would be the final winner.
After some calculations, she successfully entered the Fourth Master's backyard and became his princess.
