Chapter 165
Sang Yu always felt that someone was watching him recently, but when he looked back, there was nothing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info She wondered if she was too tired. Also, the silkworms she raised have broken their shells recently, and Sang Yu is waiting for them to surprise her, but they look no different from ordinary silkworms. There are few silkworm seeds, and Sang Yu must take care of them carefully so that he will not die.
If you die, you won't have it. She is still waiting for the cocoon to be formed, so that there will be more silkworm seeds.
After breakfast, I said to Qiao Mufeng, and went to the mulberry garden with the stars and the moon and the lilac lilac. She was going to ask Ye Yu to go with her. After all, in her heart, Ye Yu is the one who went through hardships to see the rainbow together, but Ye Yu said that she wanted to learn to make dim sum in the kitchen and was unwilling to go out.
Sang Yu thought that it would be good to buy her some gifts when she came back.
When Qiao Mufeng learned that Sang Yu was going out, he was only stunned for a moment, and ordered to bring a few more small guys, pay attention to safety and so on, so he lowered his head and wrote.
Sang Yu didn't care.
Although the stars usually only go out on the street, they are still very few in the suburbs of Beijing. Now the weather is neither hot nor cold, the wind is very cool, and everywhere you look, it is green. The mood was naturally lively, too.
The carriage drove all the way to the main road outside the garden, and Sang Yu and a few people came down.
Tian Laohan received the notice early and greeted him at the door.
Now that Tian Laohan's wife has long been ill, he is naturally grateful to Sang Yu, and he already has feelings for this garden, so he takes care of it even more carefully.
Sang Yu asked a few words casually, and saw that the mulberry leaves in the yard were growing very well. It's reassuring. He said he was going to the workshop to have a look.
In fact, she came this time mainly to weave a new type of fabric.
This ancient silk is smooth and smooth, and it is beautiful to wear, but it is so hot in summer, it is not breathable for a day, and it does not absorb sweat.
In summer, it is better to wear something light.
The steward of the workshop is still the original old man, surnamed Zhao, and Sang Yu has proposed an honest and honest one as the deputy steward, surnamed Wang.
When Sang Yu came, they were still busy.
There are sharp eyes, and when he saw Sang Yu, he called Miss to come.
They didn't know Sang Yu's identity. Of course, Sang Yu didn't want them to know either. It has not been corrected.
The stars and the moon listened to it, and they hurriedly stepped forward to make it clear. Sang Yu winked and told them not to act rashly.
The four of them had no choice but to follow behind Sang Yu.
Steward Zhao hurriedly greeted him, "Why is Miss here?" ”
Sang Yu glanced at him and teased, "Can't I come?" ”
As soon as the words came out, he smiled.
This is clearly what Qiao Mufeng often says.
It seems that he is under his influence.
Steward Zhao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "That's not what the little one means." ”
It's just that the face is not so serious.
Sang Yu smiled, "I know, I'm joking." How are you doing in the workshop lately? ”
She looked around, and although the workers saw her, they only said hello, and then continued with what they were doing, and they couldn't help but praise it in their hearts.
When Steward Zhao heard Sang Yu's words, he led her to the back tearoom and said, "It's all good, thanks to Miss, otherwise we wouldn't know where we are now?" ”
Sang Yu only smiled and said nothing.
Steward Zhao told Sang Yu about some things in the workshop and asked some questions.
"Now that summer has arrived, our cloths are all ordinary, there is no summer cloth from Jinxiulou, and there is no thin cloud veil of the Song family. But fortunately, our purse sells well, and Miss's patterns are good, alas, if only we could weave summer cloth. ”
He said this with a grudge on his face, if it wasn't for the fact that the young lady sold Na Xia Bu's recipe to the Li family, it must be himself who makes so much money now.
Sang Yu thought of Li Haoxuan's coming to find him, frowned slightly, and asked, "Does Steward Zhao know that there are many shops selling summer cloth in Beijing today?" ”
When Steward Zhao heard this, he frowned again, and said with a bitter face, "Alas, isn't it? It's just that we don't sell it in our shop. I don't know what's going on, last summer was still the Li family's dominance, and only a year has passed, and so many mansions have studied it. It's weird. ”
Sang Yu also felt very strange. Although it is not difficult to say that Xia Bu, if you don't have her guidance, you have to explore it slowly by yourself, how can it be so fast. Moreover, it is said that it has done a good job. Although it is not as good as the Li family, the thirteen or fourteen liters are also common. For example, a textile family like the Song family, which is similar to the Li family, can achieve eighteen liters. Even now, the Li family is still the four people she taught herself, and they can only weave twenty-three liters of summer cloth.
Although other family's Xia Bu is not as good as the Li family, they have also made a lot of money. I heard that there are many goods from the Li family outside Beijing today. Now this shabu is hot. ”
How could Sang Yu not know. However, since they have all agreed to others, how can they regret it, although now the result is almost the same.
Thinking of the purpose of coming today, Sang Yu took a sip of tea, pursed his somewhat dry lips, and said with a smile, "Steward Zhao doesn't have to be careful, I came here today for this matter." ”
Steward Zhao was still in his mind about Xia Bu, and when he heard Sang Yu's words, he hurriedly looked up at her, "Are we going to weave Xia Bu too?" ”
His first reaction was that his own workshop was going to weave summer cloth to sell. Otherwise, what else can be done?
Sang Yu shook his head and smiled, "How come, I promised Li Haoxuan, naturally I won't break the contract." I'm here today to weave another kind of fabric similar to summer cloth. In this way, our business will naturally improve. ”
When Steward Zhao heard the previous sentence, his shoulders collapsed. Hearing the latter sentence, he immediately cheered up, looked at Sang Yu, and his face was full of surprise, "Miss has another way?" ”
Sang Yu nodded.
For the whole day, Sang Yu stayed in the workshop, where there were ready-made raw silk, cotton, and other weaving threads, as long as they were directly put on the shelves. It wasn't until the sun was about to go down that she had a small piece of cloth in the dye vat lifted up to dry. Thinking about it, I've been tired all day, maybe I haven't moved for too long, and my arm hurts terribly. It's just that she will come back tomorrow, anyway, this cloth can't be learned in a day or two.
Then he took the girls and left.
Sitting in the carriage, several people have not yet calmed down.
Although I always knew that Mrs. embroidery was very good, and the clothes and purses made were better than theirs, I didn't expect that Mrs. could weave cloth, such a big workshop, such a large mulberry garden, all of which belonged to Mrs.
Fanxing looked at Sang Yu, who was already tired and closed her eyes, she moved her mouth, but she still chose to be quiet.
Sang Yu was really tired, and the carriage was not very smooth, but she still fell asleep. When she arrived at the General's Mansion, it was Fanyue who woke her up.
She rubbed her eyes, it was so soon.
Helping Lilac Dinglan's hand to get out of the car, his stomach was already rumbling with hunger.
Looking up at the sky, it was almost dark, and it was already past the time to eat.
Qiao Mufeng was holding a book in his hand, a book of the art of war that he had been reading. It's just that his eyes often look in the direction of the door, and it is clear that the book is just a cover-up.
After waiting for half an hour, I finally got impatient.
"Someone."
A twelve or thirteen-year-old girl entered the house respectfully, bowed to Qiao Mufeng, and bowed her head respectfully for Qiao Mufeng's command.
"Madame hasn't come back yet?"
I thought she was just going out shopping, and she came back in an hour or two, but he didn't know that he had something to do, but he hadn't come back yet.
The little girl didn't just buy it into the house, she married with Sang Yu.
It's just that, after all, he is young, and his legs are shaking when he is frightened by the general's cold words. The mouth is not neat.
"Yes, ma'am, ma'am, hasn't come back yet."
Qiao Mufeng's hand clutched the book, and there was uncontrollable anger in his eyes.
He waved his hand, and the little girl retreated as if relieved.
Although my eyes looked at the book, I didn't look into it at all.
Just when he couldn't wait to go out and look for it himself, he heard a familiar voice from the courtyard.
As soon as Sang Yu entered the courtyard, he clamored for food and starved to death. After saying that, I heard the people say that the general had been waiting for her for an hour.
Sang Yu didn't know what was going on, but felt a little weak.
She pretended to be nothing and smiled at the stars, "You're tired from a day, let's go eat." I'll go see the general, hehe. ”
Fanxing was worried about her, but Sang Yu only reassured them. So he went in with his skirt.
She just walked into the inner room, Qiao Mufeng, who was reading a book, raised his head and glanced at her lightly, "Are you back?" ”
He lowered his head again. I read the book in my hand.
Sang Yu felt that the atmosphere in the room was not very good.
Feeling a little weak, she replied in a low voice, "Well, I'm back." ”
There were girls outside who fetched water and came in, and Sang Yu asked them to put them in the house. The girl put down the brass basin and went down.
Sang Yu found a white dress with moon white and rose prints from the cabinet and changed it in the room.
Qiao Mufeng didn't hear her voice for a long time, and when he looked up, he saw that she was changing the skirt that had been stained with mud on her body, and at this moment she was only wearing a belly pocket embroidered with a large pink lotus flower in the color of grass, and a pair of wide pants with cold silk underneath. The skin of the whole body is better than snow, shining with a luster and reflecting the green belly pocket, it looks even more delicate. The thin white arms, the bulging ****, the slender waist, and the thin rope in the belly pocket all made Qiao Mufeng breathe tightly.
He was very angry in his heart, there were still people in the house, how could he change his clothes in front of him, and take off so thoroughly.
However, he was reluctant to look away.
Sang Yu didn't actually think about it that much. It was already hot, she was busy all afternoon, and she was already sweating, if she wasn't hungry and wanted to eat, she would have to take a shower and eat again.
In the past, she slept in a sundress, and besides, it was no one else in the house, it was her nominal husband, what were you afraid of.
For so long, she could also see that Qiao Mufeng had no feelings for her. Since everyone doesn't feel anything, it's not that they're naked, there's something.
Therefore, when Qiao Mufeng looked at her with an abnormal expression, Sang Yu did not have any extra expression.
She changed her clothes, and Qiao Mufeng wanted to say a few words about her. The stars outside the house said that the meal was ready, could it be brought in?
As soon as Sang Yu heard that the meal was ready, her eyes lit up.
Hurriedly said come in.
He turned his head to look at Qiao Mufeng again, and said with a smile, "Has the general eaten it?" ”
Qiao Mufeng was angry in his heart, and only said that he would not eat.
Sang Yu didn't think much about it, and went to eat happily.
Qiao Mufeng stayed alone in the room, and his heart couldn't get up. He tossed the book aside and strode out.
Sang Yu was eating happily, and Qiao Mufeng sat down on the chair next to her.
"Serve a bowl of rice to General Ben."
The maid standing next to her listened, and hurriedly served the meal and put it in front of Qiao Mufeng.
Qiao Mufeng didn't move, just looked straight at Sang Yu.
Sang Yu shook his chopsticks, smiled and put a piece of fish in Qiao Mufeng's bowl, "General, this fish is good today, you can taste it." ”
In fact, Sang Yu didn't know what was going on with the fish, she hadn't had time to eat it yet.
Qiao Mufeng picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of fish in his mouth. There was nothing special, and he turned his head to look at Sang Yu, only to see that she was eating with relish.
Qiao Mufeng is not a picky eater, seeing that she is eating happily, she obviously eats dinner, and she also thinks that this meal tastes delicious.
Sang Yu ate two bowls of rice before stopping his chopsticks.
He also asked Fanxing to bring a cup of tea, and the entrance was fragrant.
She finished her tea and leaned back comfortably in her chair.
It's a blessing to be able to eat.
After the meal, Sang Yu still sat on the couch and embroidered the purse. Qiao Mufeng looked at the book for a while, and looked at her for a while.
After all, he was puzzled and asked, "Where have you been today, and why have you been there for so long?" ”
He didn't know why he asked, but he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
Sang Yu glanced up at him and said nonchalantly, "The concubine went to the outskirts of Beijing and came back so late." I'm afraid that the concubine will go again tomorrow, but the concubine will bring a few stars, so the general doesn't have to worry. ”
She was worried that he wouldn't let her out tomorrow. Cai hurriedly explained.
Qiao Mufeng knew that she had a garden on the outskirts of Beijing, nodded, and still said, "I didn't say that I wouldn't let you go, but I just wanted to come back earlier." ”
He didn't say he was worried, but Sang Yu was still very comfortable when he heard it.
Sang Yu put down the purse in his hand, trotted to Qiao Mufeng and sat down next to Qiao Mufeng with shining eyes, and looked at Qiao Mufeng with his hands on his knees without blinking.
Qiao Mufeng couldn't read the book anymore because she couldn't see it. Putting the book aside, he looked at her helplessly and asked, "What are you doing looking at me like this?" ”
Sang Yu looked at him with a grin, "Shall we chat?" ”
The light in her eyes flickered, like a night pearl shining in the dark, especially dazzling.
Qiao Mufeng couldn't say anything to refuse, "What do you want to talk about?" ”
You know, he's a famous general, and when he's okay to chat with others, he'd rather read a book of war.
If his subordinates see it, I'm afraid they will lose their big teeth.
Sang Yu's eyes smiled like a crooked moon, and her voice was full of curiosity, "General, can the concubine ask you a question?" ”
Qiao Mufeng looked at the pleading in her eyes, stroked her forehead, and said helplessly, "What question do you want to ask?" He picked up the teacup at hand and prepared to drink tea.
When Sang Yu heard this, he immediately became energetic.
"General, how many women have you ever had? I see that you don't have a single one in the yard now, isn't it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines? ”
Qiao Mufeng choked immediately.
The throat was so hot that I choked on my nose.
But the person concerned still looked at him innocently, as if nothing had happened.
He coughed violently a few times, Sang Yu hurriedly patted him on the back, and complained in his mouth, "What's the hurry, no one is robbing you." Really, such a big person, you will be choked by drinking tea. ”
Qiao Mufeng roared in his heart, It's not all because what you said is too scary.
His face turned slightly red.
Sang Yu didn't pay attention.
She was just bored when she asked.
Qiao Mufeng was a little better, Sang Yu looked at him with bright eyes, Qiao Mufeng said with a straight face, "What are you looking at me like this?" ”
Sang Yu's mouth deflated, "The general hasn't answered the question of the concubine yet." ”
Qiao Mufeng's face tilted slightly to the side, and he said a little uncomfortably, "What are you asking for?" ”
Sang Yu played with the handkerchief, but said indifferently on his face, "I just want to know." ”
Qiao Mufeng felt that her mind was not so simple. I don't plan to dwell on this issue for long.
"By the way, if you have time, make me a set of clothes."
His clothes are all made by people in the needlework room, and there is no need for Sang Yu to do it himself. It's to change the subject.
Speaking of the things that Sang Yu liked, she really forgot what she was still asking before, and hurriedly asked him what color fabric he liked and what style he liked.
Where does Qiao Mufeng know, she only lets her do whatever she thinks is good-looking.
Sang Yu remembered that there were two snow horses in the cabinet, both of which were pure white fabrics. She was going to the mulberry garden tomorrow, and she happened to take it to dye.
Of course, the dyes used for such a good cloth must be the best.
In May, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, the snow was cold and cold on his body, and Qiao Mufeng was very hot on his body, so he just made summer clothes to wear.
Besides, the snow she put away was woven from the freshest and most tender ramie in early spring in winter, and she tried her best.
Even the best silk brocade is incomparable.
"General, it's been so long, and the concubine hasn't seen Brother Ming, is it when the concubine went to see him. He is a small child, and if those girls don't take care of them well, no one will know. ”
Don't say it, Sang Yu is right.
Although Qiao Mufeng dispersed all the concubines in the house for the sake of the child. But in the end, he is a big man, and he is a military general who is not good at words, where does he know how to take care of children, and he is not to give the money to the grandmother in Brother Ming'er's yard, so that she can take Brother Ming well.
Every time I went to see him, the two of them had nothing to say. Brother Ming even hid back as soon as he saw him.
Qiao Mufeng was also very helpless in his heart.
It's just that he's just such a seedling. Now, I just hope that he will grow up healthy.
Hearing Sang Yu say this, after thinking about it, women are more or less careful than themselves.
These days, her essence is also good, maybe, you can try.
After thinking about it, he asked in a calm voice, "Do you like children?" ”
Love the little ones?
Sang Yu shook his head, "I don't know. ”
I don't know if you still let me say that I want to meet Brother Ming, what if you don't bring it.
"It's just that the concubine is also his nominal mother, if you don't care about it, if you are talked about, the concubine is not a crime."
I see.
Qiao Mufeng didn't know why, but he felt a little lost in his heart.
He sighed, "I'll have someone bring him to show you in a few days." ”
In fact, Sang Yu is also right, you can't keep hiding Brother Ming, you have to live with her for a lifetime, how long has it been?
Sang Yu listened, and only nodded.
Before leaving the next day, Sang Yu took another look at the silkworms she raised, and personally spread mulberry leaves on them, and told the little girl in the yard to look at them carefully.
She left with peace of mind.
For several days, Sang Yu ran to the outskirts of Beijing.
Finally everything was done, and I wanted to take a nap in bed, but I heard Ding Lan enter the house and say, "Madam, the second lady is here." I'm waiting for my wife in the hall. ”
Sang Yu was still covered in the quilt, no matter who came, she didn't want to get up.
I was very upset, and asked sullenly, "Who is the second lady, Mrs. Ben doesn't know her." ”
Ding Lan smiled, and took out a light blue cold silk bandeau from the wardrobe, the skirt was scattered with many small white flowers, and the outside was a skirt of the same color.
"It's from the princess's mansion, it's the general's second aunt."
It's no wonder that Sang Yu doesn't know.
She'd been there once, but she didn't have a good impression. Long forgotten.
However, that Jiao is still a good person, unlike the so-called stepmother, who is very annoying.
She got up lazily, Ding Lan served her to get dressed, and Sang Yu asked, "Did the second lady come alone?" ”
Ding Lan shook his head, but the movements in his hand did not stop, "In addition to the second lady, there is also a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl." Seeing that girl is somewhat similar to the second lady, I think she is the daughter of the second lady. ”
Sang Yu got dressed and washed again, it was too late to eat, so she only drank a small bowl of bird's nest porridge and went out with a few stars.
That Jiao's came this time. The main reason is that my daughter Sisi is also older, but they were originally attached to the princess, and now that the princess is dead, the eldest lord doesn't care about anything, and it can't be done if he wants to find a good family for his daughter, so he wants to come to Sangyu.
Although Sang Yu has a bad background, she is now the emperor's personal county lord and the general's wife, is there anyone more noble than her? It's that the noble family doesn't look down on her, as long as it's a little better, it's okay.
She just wants her daughter to have a better home.
Qiao Sisi is not very beautiful, but can only be regarded as delicate. She was wearing a half-worn pale yellow floral dress, with a simple bun on her head, and a few strands of hair hanging down from her forehead, which looked a little moving.
She secretly surveyed everything in this hall, she had been here once in a few years. Nothing has changed much.
Seeing Sang Yu come in, Jiao Shi hurriedly stood up and said with a somewhat flattering smile, "How are your nephews and daughters-in-law doing?" I'm here to disturb me today. He said to Qiao Sisi again, "Sisi, don't give your sister-in-law a salute yet." ”
Qiao Sisi hurriedly stepped forward and squatted down to salute Sang Yu, "Hello sister-in-law." ”
Her voice was thin and soft, she lowered her head, and she didn't look at Sang Yu, as if she was shy. (To be continued.) )
