On July 28, the 34th year of Xiping, it was the 40th birthday of the queen's mother, and Emperor Chengde waved his hand and decided to celebrate the queen. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Yan family, as the imperial merchant who has been responsible for the supply of royal clothing in the past five years, is naturally also busy.

The first thing to ensure is that there are as many as 100 gold wires, and it is not a single color.

The head of the Sun family has already made all the gold filaments of other colors, but there are several important colors that cannot be produced in the workshops in Shangjing, and many of the materials required need to be picked and used in the production places of the raw materials, such as the bright yellow gold filaments supplied to His Majesty and the Empress Mother.

Because this batch of materials is very important, it is related to the 40th birthday of the queen's mother, naturally it cannot be sloppy, in order to ensure that everything is safe, all the production of gold silk is kept aside and supervised throughout the process.

After producing enough golden silk of ordinary color, the head of the Sun family rushed to Jinju County in Hedong Province, where there were medicinal herbs that could be woven and dyed to produce bright yellow golden silk.

After the lively Dragon Boat Festival, there are already many merchants coming and going in Shangjing, and the closer to July, the more businessmen go south and north to Shangjing.

On this day, the Yan family handed Shu Yanhua a letter, Shu Yanhua read it in the bright hall, and after reading it, Qiu'er asked without any scheming: "Miss, what does the letter say?" ”

Shu Yanhua tilted her head and said unintentionally: "My grandfather said that I will leave two pomegranate red horses for me in the gold silk dedicated to the queen mother this year." ”

Qiu'er said softly, she knew that now in the capital, only the Yan family's silk Furui has a thousand gold filaments for sale, as long as it is a high-ranking family with a little face, she knows how many varieties of silk Furui's golden filaments have been produced, and there is absolutely no garnet red in the capital.

"Miss, is this the material that Silk Furui made of garnet red?" Qiu'er asked puzzled.

"Well, it's done, but it's not in Shangjing, it's in Jinju County, and it's transported to Shangjing with the materials dedicated to the queen." Shu Yanhua said casually.

Chun'er, who was sitting quietly doing needlework with a small needle, looked down at the needle in her hand, picked up another embroidery thread, threaded the needle and knotted it, and continued to bow her head to embroider the pattern.

"Miss, where is Jinju-gun? Far away? Qiu'er didn't notice anything, but was interested in where Jinju was.

"In Hedong Province, coming to the capital from Jinzhou, according to the goods that my grandfather wants to transport, it will take about half a month, after all, the goods transported are tribute, and I don't dare to rush too hastily along the way, otherwise the cloth is easy to wear." Shu Yanhua calculated the distance and replied.

"Oh, as long as my uncle's convoy arrives in Shangjing, I can make you a new dress with garnet red gold wire, and when the time comes, at the banquet in the palace, who can have a young lady in the limelight?" Qiu'er clapped her hands and smiled.

Shu Yanhua shook her head amusedly, "Why does your young lady want to be in the limelight?" Pomegranate red is a new material, and if only your lady wears this at that time, it will be more conspicuous. ”

Qiu'er said as a matter of course: "Miss, you are conspicuous even if you don't wear garnet red, since this is the case, why not be more conspicuous?" There must be a lot of young talents on the queen's birthday, and when the time comes, the young lady can choose a good husband......"

When she said this, Dong'er suddenly coughed heavily several times, and directly interrupted Qiu'er's unfinished words.

Qiu'er also realized that she had said the wrong thing, and looked left and right with a weak heart, there were only Dong'er, Chun'er and grapes around her, patted her chest, and stuck out her tongue playfully, and didn't dare to say anything about choosing a husband anymore.

She had forgotten the existence of His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, and she blamed His Royal Highness for not appearing in front of their young lady for a long time these days, and she almost forgot what His Royal Highness had done to Miss.

Qiu'er obediently went to sort out the young lady's jewelry, Grape raised her eyes and glanced at Qiu'er, and saw Shu Yanhua shaking her head slightly.

Shu Yanhua accepted the letter, got up and went to the study, before going out, Yu Guang looked at Chun'er who was doing needlework gently, and a sarcastic smile was provoked on her lips.

.......

"Hua Niang really said that?" Mei asked Chun'er, who was standing at the bottom.

Chun'er nodded very affirmatively, "Miss said so, not only the slaves and maids, but also Qiu'er and they all heard it, and Qiu'er also asked Miss, how long does it take to get from Jinju County to Shangjing, and Miss said that according to the distance, it will take about half a month." ”

"Did Hua Niang say that in addition to the pomegranate red and the bright yellow gold silk offered to the queen's mother, there are other tributes?" Mei asked.

Chun'er thought about it for a while, and made sure she didn't hear it, so she shook her head and said, "No, Miss just said that this is a tribute to the queen's mother, except for bright yellow and pomegranate red, she didn't say if there are any others." ”

"Okay, I know, you pay close attention to this matter, as soon as there is other news, find an opportunity to come back to me, you go back first, lest you come out for a long time and arouse suspicion." Mei waved her hand and asked Chun'er to go back.

After Chun'er left, Mei began to think about it, since Shu Yanhua went to women's school, Chun'er's dark chess piece seemed to be wasted, and she couldn't even get any useful news, and then Shu Hongxuan gave the two Yahuan Hua Niang, even Qiu'er and Dong'er had to retreat, Hua Niang went out with grapes and cherries, and later even the study was guarded by these two people, which shows the trust in these two people.

It's just a pity that Chun'er, when she thought that this dark chess was about to be scrapped, finally got some useful news.

Thinking back to what Chun'er said, the Yan family was going to deliver tribute to the queen mother from Jinju, and the light in her eyes flickered constantly.

Mei Shi looked at the sky, and at this time she suddenly felt that time was passing very slowly, it was still afternoon, and the master had not yet returned home, and she couldn't wait to discuss this matter with him.

She thinks this is a great opportunity, but it depends on what the master thinks.

......

"She's out?" Shu Yanhua held it obliquely on the chaise longue, holding a fan in her hand and shaking it gently, asking the grapes beside her.

Grape nodded affirmatively, "I went to Zilan Temple." ”

When Shu Yanhua heard this, her face was really like this.

"Miss, why should you keep a traitor like Chun'er?" Grape didn't hold back after all, and asked out, with a ruthlessness in her tone, she was a secret guard specially trained by the royal family, the most loyal to the lord, and the most disgusted with this kind of traitor.

In her opinion, no matter what happened to Chun'er going to Zilan Academy, as long as it was not ordered by the young lady, it was considered a traitor - for no reason, the young lady did not tell her to go to the Zilan Academy, and the eldest lady of the Zilan Courtyard did not summon her, but she went instead, and this kind of behavior is a traitor in the eyes of the grapes.

"It's still useful for me to keep her." Shu Yanhua smiled meaninglessly. (To be continued.) )
