"It's still early! If you really find the seeds, you really have to ask Xin'er for help. Ling Ziye said with a smile.

"I've been thinking about this kind of thing for a long time, but I haven't been able to get it, I always thought that it was only available overseas, and I had to go to sea to get it. Unexpectedly, cotton also appeared in the northwest. If it can really spread, it will be a good thing. Li Xin smiled slightly.

Although silk is also good for warmth, it is rare, so the price is relatively expensive. Painstaking and laborious silkworm raising, but after paying so much heart, the yield is not high. The yield is not high, so it is expensive.

And the numbing warmth is not good, and it is too rough. It's just that the poor can only afford to use linen.

There is also kapok, which can also be kept warm, can be filled with quilts and pillows, etc., even to make cotton jackets. However, kapok cannot be weaved, and the production of kapok is very scarce. That is, there are wild kapok trees in some places in the southwest, and no one plants them, so naturally there will not be many of them.

Moreover, the kapok tree is prickly and difficult to pick. You can only pick it up when it falls, or take a long pole to knock it down. Anyway, it is not easy, in the end, it is not as good as the cotton that is grown.

Cotton also produces a year, even perennial cotton can bloom and bear fruit every year, unlike kapok that blooms for many years.

One more thing, cotton will not always occupy the land, this year is planted, if the cotton is enough, next year will not be planted.

In her opinion, cotton is also an indispensable thing in life.

"If it is as you say, it will be for the benefit of the people. I'll deal with this as soon as possible. You don't have to worry about it. The most important thing is to take care of the baby at home. When the seeds are back, it's never too late for you to worry about it. When the seeds are shipped to the capital, you will probably have given birth to a child by that time. ”

I spoke for a while. Ling Ziye stood up and wanted to leave. Liuchen is not there, and it is not good for him to stay in Dongyuan for a long time. Although Xin'er is his cousin, she is not her own sister in the end, and if there is nonsense that likes to chew the root of her tongue, it is very bad for Xin'er.

Ling Ziye has been in charge of so much business of the Ling family, and he has always been a busy person, and Li Xin didn't keep him much and sent him out.

"My cousin will come and sit down more when he is free."

"Good. I'll come to see you when I'm free, the weather is still a little cold, go back to the house! Ling Ziye walked away.

Back in the house. Li Xin put away the cotton. It's just a few balls, and it can't do anything, it just can be kept as decoration. I haven't seen cotton for many years, and I really miss it.

The world she lived in before was getting farther and farther away from her. Many people and things there are slowly fading. She has also really adapted to life here. also has a home here, with everything, she is really satisfied with her life now, and she no longer thinks about all kinds of things in her previous life.

Although she knew that that life really existed, occasionally she would think of some people and things. It's the place she's lived for so many years! Even if you can't go back to what you've been far away, you can't really forget it.

"Girl. Is this cotton really that good? Caiyun asked curiously. It seems that the girl always knows a lot of things, and this is the first time she has seen this cotton! I didn't expect the girl to be able to name a lot of uses.

"Of course. But now you don't feel anything, and you'll know when you really plant more and make something. Li Xin smiled. Haven't you seen cotton? If you plant more cotton, you can weave cotton cloth. I still think cotton is more comfortable than silk to wear. ”

When the girl said this, it was true, that cotton felt better. Although silk is good, it is too silky, and it does not absorb sweat, and it will be hooked out by a gentle hook. Caixia said.

The batch of cotton cloth that the Zheng family gave to the Li family was divided by Li Xin, and the few horses left for the family were made into close-fitting clothes. Although cotton cloth was rare at that time, Li Xin did not feel the need to be stingy. Good things are naturally interesting when everyone shares them together.

"I don't know if the eldest prince can get the seeds back." Caiyun also has a little more hope.

"If there are seeds in the area, you can find them, so there must be no problem. It doesn't matter if you want to give some money! She believed that her cousin would be able to bring back the seeds. What kind of person is my cousin! If you can't even do such a thing, how can you still control the Ling family's big family business.

Li Xin's life became very peaceful, and most of the time she was in the East Garden, or she went to the main courtyard to ask for peace. I don't go out much, and when I go out, I just go to see Concubine Liu's children.

Qingyue didn't come to her, and Concubine Liu should still be alive. Thinking like this, she really hopes that Concubine Liu can get better, even if she can't, at least she will live a few more days. Concubine Liu loves Yin Yi so much, she must want to see Yin Yi again! She really hoped that she would never hear bad news.

The nurse is very dedicated to taking care of the child, and the child is well taken care of. White and chubby, children are the fastest growing at this time, and they feel like they have changed after a few days. The better it looks, the more white and tender it looks. The arms and legs are like lotus roots, and the eyes are dripping and rolling, like black grapes soaked in clear water.

Because Concubine Liu's health was not good after the child was born, she was still carried by the nurse, and Concubine Liu had no energy to take care of the child. So after leaving the child, because there was a nurse by his side, the child was not very crying.

The child who has been brought up by the nurse since he was a child is destined not to be very close to his mother! Especially in rich and noble families, most of the time the children are carried by the nurse, and the mother's care for the child is not enough.

Although Li Xin never wanted to hear any bad news, it was not as good as people wanted. On February 16, Qingyue went to King Kang's mansion to find Li Xin.

When Li Xin saw her, he knew that Concubine Liu had passed away a few days ago, because the Liu family did not come forward, so the funeral was very simple and did not alarm anyone. Fortunately, Concubine Liu also had a lot of savings before her death, and Qingyue finally handled the funeral not so shabbyly.

Seeing Li Xin, Qingyue fell to her knees crying.

"Don't be too sad, she's still gone peacefully!" Li Xin asked Caiyun to help Qingyue up. "Although she couldn't wait for the prince to come back, fortunately, the child is fine, and she should leave with peace of mind."

"Indeed, after the master entrusted the little master to the princess, he was really relieved." Qingyue nodded.

"In the end, it is also her blessing to have such a loyal girl as you by her side. It's just that you've been with her for so many years, and you're getting older, so you shouldn't keep dragging it out like this without looking for a home. Don't think about what little master you want to serve, it's the most important thing to find a home.

"Didn't your master eliminate your slavery, you are a free body, your appearance and character are good, it is not difficult to find a good home. If you don't dislike it, stay with me first, or go to the other side where your little master lives. When you have a crush and want to get married, you can leave at any time, and I will also prepare a decent dowry for you. ”

Until Concubine Liu came to that situation, Qingyue would not give up, such a loyal servant is really respectable, and it is really worthy of respect.

But not everyone has such a blessing, Qingyue can be so loyal, presumably Concubine Liu should be good to the people around her!

"The slave doesn't want to go anywhere, so she wants to serve the little master and watch the little master grow up."

"I will let people take care of the child, and it won't take long, when your prince returns to Beijing, the child will naturally be sent back. You can also rest assured, who is your prince? It's still easy to take care of your own children. Don't delay yourself all the time, you don't have any relatives in the end, you can only worry about these things, and you can't expect anyone to find you a good person.

"And whether a person is good or not is not something that others can help to see, you still have to see it yourself."

"The slave knows."

"It's good that you know in your heart, since you want to go over there, I'll have someone send you there." Li Xin said and asked people to prepare the carriage.

Qingyue opened the baggage she was carrying, took out a box, and when she opened the box, it turned out to be a stack of silver tickets, as well as some gold and silver jewelry, and there was a grange on the outskirts of Beijing and two shops in the city. There are a lot of silver tickets, and the grange is also very large, and the shop is also a good location, and the shop is also open.

It turns out that Concubine Liu still has a lot of private rooms.

"Let the princess help the slave and maid keep these things first! It is not appropriate for a slave or maid to carry these things, and it is even worse if they are remembered. I hope that the princess can accept it, after all, it will take a lot of money to take care of the little master next. ”

"Well, in that case, I'll take it first. In the future, these things will naturally be your little master, and they can be regarded as a little thought left by your mother. Li Xin put the box away. It is indeed inappropriate for Qingyue to carry so many belongings, for fear that it will cause disaster if she is not careful. "When you live over there, if you need anything, tell the people in the house, I have explained everything, and no one will embarrass you." Li Xin took two small silver tickets to Qingyue. "This is your daily expenses, girls, there are always some things to buy that are not good to tell others, so use these money."

"Thank you, Princess."

"You don't have to thank me, since your master entrusted you and the child to me, I naturally can't treat you badly. Just think I'm looking at your lord's face! "For Yin Yi's affairs, she can't ignore it.

After all, she failed him, and taking care of his children should be regarded as reducing some of her guilt! (To be continued......)
