Chapter 40: Silk (1)
The two of them walked out of the Jinghua Hall and walked to a no-man's land in the garden, Lin Wan relaxed, squatted down and rubbed her knees: "Yuyu, take a break and then go, my legs are a little uncomfortable." ”
Qin Yu, who was walking in front, turned around and saw Lin Wan squatting on the ground, rubbing her knees.
I must have been kneeling in front of the queen for a long time...... After thinking about it, Qin Yu walked up to her, squatted down, and rubbed her knees for her.
Looking at the big hand on her knees, and then at the side face of Qin Yu who was close at hand, Lin Wan was stunned for a moment, and wanted to freeze this time forever...... But this beauty was always short-lived, and the sound of footsteps came first to the ears of the two of them, and then to the conversation of the men.
"So that you are usually lazy and don't work seriously, now it's okay, are you scolded?"
"Auntie, it's clear that the eldest princess is picky, it's okay to pick bones in eggs, find something for us to do! Look, which thread on this cloth is wrong? ”
"That's it, auntie, even the queen who is high above is full of praise for our silk brocade, but the eldest princess is the only one who looks for us every day, I really don't know where we offended her!"
"I guess, it must be that the eldest princess thought that she was married far away from her mother country, but she married a stupid prince, and this grievance was full of anger, and there was nowhere to send it, so she was looking for our bad luck."
"Shut up, what do you know? Guess and don't have a head? I treat you gently on weekdays, and there is a bottom line, what to say and what not to say, otherwise one accidentally loses his head, then don't blame my aunt for not reminding you! ”
"It's... We got ......"
A few handmaidens responded perfunctorily, but they didn't know what was wrong, and they didn't care.
The woman, who was called her aunt, continued: "The eldest princess is from the Western Regions, and it is rumored that the silk in the Western Regions is the best in the world, and her vision is higher than ours, and it is common sense that she looks down on the silk we make. Blame you for not wanting to forge ahead, eating with the technology left by your ancestors all day long, and not knowing how to innovate! ”
A servant girl wanted to argue about something, but she stopped for a while, her eyes widened, and she stammered: "Aunt... Aunt...... Three-three-three prince ......"
The group was reminded, and looked in the direction that the maid was looking at, behind the big tree, there were two faint figures, one of which was actually the third prince!
At this moment, they had just gotten off the Jiuqu Bridge, and they met a big man at the corner, and what they said just now should be condemned!
Everyone knelt on the ground in panic, shouting for the third prince to spare his life.
The aunt also knelt on the ground and said, "It's the slaves and maids who can't discipline them, and the children are still young and ignorant. ”
Qin Yu shook his head, stepped forward and helped his aunt, who was a little bloated, up: "Auntie, don't be afraid, fortunately it was me who bumped into me today...... However, you must remember to be cautious in your words and deeds in the future, and you must not be like this day again. Today's events are just as if I have never encountered them. ”
Everyone looked at the three princes gratefully as if they had been amnestied.
The aunt was even more grateful, crying bitterly, "Thank you for the great kindness of the third prince, thank you for the great kindness of the third prince......"
At this time, Lin Wan thought of something, walked to Qin Yu's side, whispered a few words in her ear, Qin Yu smiled after hearing this, and nodded.
In the eyes of the aunt, she saw a palace maid talking to the third prince, and she was slightly uneasy in her heart, and looked at Lin Wan vigilantly.
Qin Yu took a step, walked to the side of several maidservants, looked at the box resting on the ground, and asked, "I just heard that you have been wronged by my eldest sister-in-law?" ”
Several maidservants knelt on the ground, trembling with fright, and hurriedly shook their heads.
The aunt saw that the situation was wrong, so she hurriedly came over, and smiled with a smile, "What kind of grievances are they, it is they who are smug and unenterprising, and the silk they made, the princess is not satisfied, so she has learned a lesson." ”
"Oh? This silk workshop is not a day or two in my Mulang Palace, I remember that it is used very well on weekdays, but today I went to the eldest sister-in-law, but it caused dissatisfaction? ”
Qin Yu asked, but the meaning of his words inevitably made people think that he wanted to help these slaves and maids.
The kneeling maids listened to him, and thought that he should not have come to blame, but wanted to help them?
No, a maidservant immediately answered: "The eldest princess said that the silk made for her in our Mulang Palace is of inferior quality, and it is not even a high-quality product, saying that we are perfunctory to her, and we don't take her seriously at all......"
"Inferior products? Does the eldest sister-in-law really have such a big appetite? The silk of our Mulang Palace has become an inferior product? ”
Qin Yu pretended to be surprised, paused and said: "In this way, you will send the finished silk products specially made for the eldest emperor's sister-in-law to my mansion, let me appraise it, and see if you are cutting corners, or is the eldest emperor's sister-in-law deliberately making things difficult?" ”
A servant girl said confidently: "There must be no cutting corners, this finished product is in this box, the third prince might as well identify it now, right?" ”
