A few days later, a team of luxurious carriages and horses stopped at the gate of the Mui Kee Splendid Workshop. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the door of the workshop, two strong men guarding the corner gate opened their eyes and saw that several carriages in front of them were followed by two teams of errand men wearing curved wings and heads, and several men wearing green curved collars and big sleeves and arrogant expressions came down from the carriage.

A group of people in strange costumes, men and women, all burly and muscular, spoke barbarian language, chattering and walking into the workshop.

The two strong men guarding the door didn't have time to ask, and one of the servants had already knocked on the door frame of the corner door with the handle of the knife in his hand, and opened his mouth with his head held high: "We are from Jinyayuan." Let you who are in charge here come out and speak. ”

The two strong men glanced at each other, and one hurried to the workshop. After a while, a gray-clothed old servant came out, bowed and asked, "I am the steward of this workshop, may I ask what happened to the adults?" ”

Several people with green round necks and big sleeves frowned and glanced at the old servant, turned their heads and humbly accompanied a group of strangely dressed people to the workshop.

A messenger under his hand spoke: "Several adults of our Jinya Academy have been ordered to come out to inspect, and by the way, they will bring a non-governmental exchange group from Yan Guo to come out to observe and study. ”

The old servant was the cloud manager who Jiang Li arranged to manage this workshop, and when he heard this, his eyebrows fluttered, and he lowered his head and did not say a word.

The messenger continued: "All the splendid workshops will have to cooperate with us in this inspection, and we will select a number of skilled workshops among these workshops to train the Great Yanlai delegation to learn the art of brocade. All the workshops selected by the imperial court have to teach Da Yanlai's friends all the money, and they are not allowed to hide their personal prevarication. Today we will casually walk inside and have a look. ”

The corners of Steward Yun's lips were smiling, and he said in his heart: Sure enough, it is not what the ninth girl expected.

He made a look of embarrassment on his face, and said with a bitter face: "It is an honor for our workshop and even our host to receive the adults of the Jinya Academy and the delegation of the Yan Kingdom, but it is just that the envoys are really not the right time to come, and I am afraid that coming today will make the adults sweep Yaxing・・・・・・"

The group of people who led the way had already arrived at the door of the workshop, and the scene in front of them and the words of the cloud manager had made them realize that something was wrong, and they all stopped.

There were no weavers in the empty workshop, no other workers, not even a handyman. The raw silk on the ground was piled up in a scattered manner, and the loom was covered with a thick layer of ash, and there was not half a brocade left on it.

Steward Yun followed him into the workshop with a smile and explained, "Well, everyone has seen the situation in the workshop now - we have been out of production for a long time, so it is really not the right time for the envoys to come. ”

"What's going on? As far as we know, Mei Ji was still opening normally some time ago! The leader of the man dressed in green walked inside as he spoke, and the others stopped in the workshop.

He walked into the innermost loom room, which was also empty and empty—Jiang Li had already asked the loom used to make Yunjin in it and all the tools to be moved elsewhere.

"It happened suddenly, and our owner also had a last resort." Yun Steward said, "The weavers under his command went on strike to return to their original places, and for a while they could not find a better weaver, and the proprietor was anxious about this matter, and was recuperating at home." Looking at this situation, I don't know when we will be able to restart. ”

The group was stunned in the empty workshop for a long time, and walked out of the workshop without taste.

Steward Yun respectfully sent out of the gate, came back and instructed the two gatekeepers in the corner gate to take care of the workshop, and also left in a carriage. After leaving, he immediately sent someone to send a letter to Jiang Li to report the situation.

Jiang Li is in Meizhuang. Of course, it is not to recuperate, but to look leisurely and wandering, wandering around the plum village all day long.

Thousands of acres of fertile land have been rented out, and the scattered farms are full of tenants. Chickens and dogs smell each other on the Zhuangzi of Qianmo, do not close the door at night, morning and evening can see the farmers of the hoe working in the fields, everywhere is the mulberry hemp and millet that grows very well, and the plum village is like a paradise scene full of vitality.

Not only did Jiang Li live in Meizhuang, but she also brought dozens of weavers from Meiji's workshop to Meizhuang. In the name of it, it is said that they will be given a holiday to recuperate.

The loom used to make cloud brocade was also moved to Zhuangzi, and the newly built granary, which had no grain to load, was temporarily used as a temporary splendid workshop.

Jiang Li sometimes came to weave brocade with Jiang Gan, and more often took Xiaoxiang to wander around on Meizhuang.

Since that day with Meng Shi and Fan Sicheng's mother and son, Jiang Li returned to Jiang's house and begged her grandmother to allow her to withdraw from her family. The next day, the matchmaker returned the Fan family's gift, and her relationship with Fan Sicheng came to an end in a hurry.

Some people in the Jiang family's mansion are happy for Jiang Li, some people are sad for her, and countless people are chewing on the secrets of this family affair.

Even her younger brother Jiang Ju thought that she was bullied and calculated by Jiang Ya, so she had to quit this family business.

Only Jiang Li didn't mind what others thought and said, and he still went his own way, leaving early and returning late to deal with his own affairs.

Before coming to Meizhuang, she went to the shop to meet the shopkeeper Ge, and after conspiring for a long time, Jiang Li began to prepare for the temporary closure of the Meiji Splendid Workshop, which was booming.

Not only was the workshop temporarily suspended, but even the Yunjin auction in the Jinmei Garden was canceled at the same time, and the Yunjin stored in the garden was also taken back and put on the Meizhuang.

All of this was done in order to deal with the non-governmental exchange group of Dayanlai. Because of Yuntong's prior reminder, he was afraid that the Meiji workshop would be selected by the imperial court as the object of observation and study by the Dayan Mission, Jiang Li made all preparations early and quietly brought the weavers to Meizhuang.

According to Jiang Li's thoughts, the Dayan delegation came to discuss state affairs this time, and it would not stay in the capital of the Great Song Dynasty for too long.

As long as the mission leaves, even if the non-governmental exchange group brought by the mission does not go together, the court should have decided on a workshop for them to exchange and study.

As long as Mei Ji does not come into direct contact with the group of people who came to Dayan, Qin Yuanhua and the people of Dayan will never find an official excuse to embarrass Mei Ji. As long as the Dayan delegation leaves, her Meiji Splendid Workshop can reopen at any time, in Jiang Li's words to Ge's shopkeeper, she is called avoiding its edge and retreating as advance.

Jiang Li lived in Meizhuang with peace of mind, and took Xiaoxiang to all over the large and small places in Meizhuang in more than ten days. One day, he even made a special trip to Jiangjia Village to see what Jiangjia Village would look like now when all the tenant farmers in Jiangjia Village came to live in their own plum villages.
