"Next, you should just make money. I plan to leave the thresher and down jackets to you." Baili Tang said to Chao Hong.
Chao Hong had seen a threshing machine before and knew it was valuable. But what was a down jacket? "Is that the feathered garment you just mentioned? The kind courtesans wear when dancing?"
"It can be worn to keep warm and can also be made into a quilt." Baili Tang was considering how much a down jacket should cost.
"I have to remind you that duck down comes in tiny, fine clumps and has a strong odor. Unlike animal skins, it's easier to make into clothing," Chao Hong continued. "As for your suggestion of using duck down and wool to make quilts, poor families have been doing that for a long time."
Jingguo does not have cotton yet, cotton comes from the Western Regions.
"Don't worry about it, just do what you're told. If you have any unresolved issues, you can contact the Ministry of Industry. Also, the roast duck branch..."
Chao Hong ignored him. He thought Baili Tang was unrealistic and went to see his nephew: "You can make a lot of money by selling "Water Margin". He really wanted to add, how long has it been since you updated?
Today is the happiest day for Chao Hong in these years!
Chao Man'er was wandering around the palace alone. She was very familiar with the palace!
As she walked, Chao Man'er suddenly felt like crying - seeing the things reminded her of her aunt!
"Sister Man'er!!" A cheerful voice came over.
"You are? Slug?" Chao Man'er saw the person running towards her and asked in surprise, "How did you become so beautiful?"
"How can Qinru compare to Sister Man'er in prettiness?"
The person running over was the eldest princess, Baili Qinru. She was fourteen years old this year and had grown up slowly. She had become a graceful young lady. In two or three years, she would be a remarkably beautiful woman.
Four or five years ago, Baili Qinru was not even ten years old. At that time, she and Chao Man'er had a very close relationship and she would follow Chao Man'er around all day, playing around together.
"Sister Man'er, have you been okay these years?"
"certainly!"
"Qinru has heard many stories about my sister, such as how you sneaked into Wuya Peak... But how did you sneak into Wuya Peak? My sister is so beautiful, and the bandits..."
Chao Man'er said this with a smug look on her face: "The sun is too strong right now, let's go to the pavilion. I'm a little hungry too, so have someone prepare some snacks."
"Uh-huh!"
Then, Chao Man'er narrated the whole story, starting from when they pretended to be the eldest daughter of the Zhang family. She would not say that it was Baili Tang who asked them to pretend, nor could she mention that she was cleaning the toilet in the mountains!
Baili Qinru, who had only left the palace once since she was a child, was mesmerized by what she heard. Having been forced to live in this deep palace compound since she was a child, she yearned for Chao Man'er's life.
Chao Man'er didn't know how long she talked, but she finished several plates of snacks and a pot of tea - she ate and talked at the same time, without stopping.
Chao Man'er naturally mentioned two people - Song Chi and Xiaolian. Xiaolian had already returned to Liang Qiuyu's place and was planting something with Liang Qiuyu.
As for Song Chi, he was dragged by Erhu to look for someone. Lu, the imperial physician, was also with them, and he was there to lead the way.
Erhu naturally wanted to find his elder brother. He had already asked others about the location of Wangjiang Tower. His elder brother Liang Dahu worked as a waiter there.
Don't look at Erhu being teased by Baili Tang as half the emperor's uncle. It's just a nice title. It has no practical significance. Song Chi and Xiaolian were both rewarded with 500 taels of gold... If there were 500 taels of gold, Erhu wouldn't have wanted to join the army. He's just an unstable person.
"Erhu, why do you keep your head down?" Song Chi asked curiously.
Erhu replied honestly: "My eldest brother said that there is silver everywhere in the capital. I want to see if I can pick it up!"
Hearing this, Imperial Physician Lu was delighted: "Yes, there are, but there are so many people here, it's not your turn to pick it up even if there is one!"
"That's right." Erhu stopped looking down and quickened his pace, heading towards Wangjiang Tower. It had been almost two years since I last saw my eldest brother!
Wangjianglou, in this bustling capital, is just an ordinary restaurant. But in terms of decoration, cuisine, and wine, it far surpasses the Linjiang Tavern in Qinhe Mansion.
After entering the store, Erhu went to ask the waiter first.
"Liang Dahu? I've never heard of him. I've only been here three months."
Erhu had no choice but to ask the shopkeeper, who frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "We have never hired such a person in our store."
"That's not right. My eldest brother wrote in a letter home that he was working as a waiter in Wangjiang Tower, and in the whole capital, you are the only family working in Wangjiang Tower." Erhu asked curiously.
"Maybe your elder brother made a spelling mistake. In our capital, there are Wangjing Tower, Dongjiang Tower, Xijiang Tower..." the shopkeeper laughed.
Song Chi saw the clue. It was impossible to write the address wrong in a letter, and the shopkeeper had just hesitated. Da Hu must have worked as a waiter here. Maybe something happened.
"Erhu, what should we do? Didn't your brother say in the letter that he had hidden something very valuable..."
Imperial Physician Lu understood Song Chi better: "Shh!"
Song Chi was even more certain that Liang Dahu had worked as a waiter in this store and that something had happened to him.
Because the shopkeeper pricked up his ears, wanting to listen to what they said.
Song Chi is indeed the smart one, but Erhu still hasn't figured it out... When did the eldest brother write the letter...
"Erhu, let's go to Dongjiang Tower to find your brother!" Song Chi said, pulling Erhu away. They hid in a street. Sure enough, the shopkeeper ran out, looking around.
Song Chi said seriously: "We need to find someone to help." Dahu is missing!
"Let's go find Lord Zhang!" Imperial Physician Lu suggested.
Brother Erhu scratched his head: "Why are you looking for Lord Zhang?" He didn't like Lord Zhang because the general had secretly told him that Lord Zhang was the most sinister villain in the world, and if there was nothing to do, stay away from him!
