Chapter 276: Warm Soup
"The Empress Dowager, wait a minute!" After the maid finished speaking, she hurried out the door.
Empress Dowager Xiao didn't wait long, the maid came back with a box, walked in front of Empress Dowager Xiao, gently opened it and introduced: "This is called a makeup box!" The mirror in this is to make it easier to dress up. This is our work, and the wages paid by the government can be exchanged for only one day's labor. But each person can only change once.
If it breaks, it will cost 200 yuan to buy one, and I heard that the price will be lower in the future. ”
"This..."Empress Dowager Xiao and Xiao Zhong, listening to the maid's words, couldn't help but look at each other and couldn't speak.
This kind of glass mirror, so workmanship, looks so exquisite, as long as the people do a day's work, they can be replaced, which is incredible.
"The Empress Dowager, you can't believe it, right? This is the prime minister's benefit to everyone! Not only do they have mirrors, but also women have needles and threads and clothes; Male workers have farm tools, oil and salt, pickles, and so on! The little girl, who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, said with a little excitement.
"Is this all work?" Xiao Zhong couldn't help but ask.
"Of course! Can ordinary people afford it? The little girl looked at Xiao Zhong like an idiot and said.
"The government said that it was half sold and half sent, but we ordinary people all know that this is the prime minister's mercy on the people and changing the law to give it to the people. I just don't want to send it to such lazy people. The little girl continued.
"What clothes? Is that all you have? How long does it take to change jobs? Xiao Zhong didn't bother with the little girl, and asked curiously.
"This wool-woven garment takes five days for one garment and three days for a pair of trousers! It's warm, but it's also limited. The little girl touched her clothes and said.
"Little girl, you didn't sell yourself into slavery, did you?" Empress Dowager Xiao asked with a pleasant face.
"Of course not, only those Goguryeo and Silla are handmaidens, and Turkic women only do rough work. We're taking care of people, but it's work! The steward said that those people were not at ease to take care of the Empress Dowager, so they chose us! The little girl said with a little pride.
This is the pride that Zou Yu subconsciously cultivated, and the Turks could only do rough work; Goguryeo is a subordinate; There will be slaves in the future! Slave for eternity!
"The Empress Dowager, this is the clothes sent by the Prime Minister!" A maid, with two guards, walked in with two suitcases and said.
"Wow! The Queen Mother, this is a down jacket! Or the best cotton cloth. "Just now, the little girl talked to the Empress Dowager Xiao, and she was a little bolder, and she stepped forward to open the box and said in surprise.
"Cotton? It's white stacked cloth, right? Is this called a down jacket? It's soft to the touch. Xiao Zhong stepped forward and asked.
"Yes, cotton cloth is also white folded cloth, but the prime minister has made it better, and the cloth is softer; This is a down jacket made of the finest duck down! This set is a cashmere jacket. The new maid introduced.
"What do you mean?" Empress Dowager Xiao asked while motioning for her to change her clothes.
"Back to the Queen Mother, this kind of down jacket is the feathers of chickens, ducks, geese and poultry, and after processing, they are packed in this cloth; And the high-quality down jacket is made of chicken, duck and goose fluff! In particular, duck down is the best, and a set of such clothes requires thousands of ducks to make. The maid explained while dressing Empress Dowager Xiao.
"So, is it the same for cashmere jackets?" Empress Dowager Xiao asked.
"The Empress Dowager is wise, it is true, ordinary wool is now spun to make clothes, cashmere is put into cloth, such cashmere clothes, a set of hundreds of sheep, can be enough." The maid replied with a sweet smile.
"There is also a duvet, which has been put into the Queen Mother's bedroom!" After tidying up the clothes for Empress Dowager Xiao, the maid continued.
"It's so warm, it's just too extravagant, and ordinary people can't afford it." Empress Dowager Xiao sighed.
This is a high-necked down jacket, although it has not been compressed, it looks a little bloated, but the warmth effect is not to be said, and the Empress Dowager Xiao only wore it for a while, and she felt warm. I deliberately walked to the door, pushed the door open, and I couldn't feel the cold wind coming in front of me.
The maid left, and the Empress Dowager Xiao was tired of traveling, so she went back to the room to rest, and as soon as she got into bed, she was taken aback again! The whole bed was warm, definitely not a maid to sleep warmly, and the quilt was very light.
Looking thick and soft, soft and comfortable to the touch, Empress Dowager Xiao guessed that this was the duvet that the maid said. Covering the body, it is not heavy at all, not as heavy as the fur fur, which makes people's chests tight, and there is no peculiar smell.
"What should I do? Is the Sui Dynasty really saved? Looking at the sleeping baby on the bed, Empress Dowager Xiao muttered to herself.
"I'm afraid no one can resist the temptation in that position, right? Forget it, just leave it to him, as for whether it is for Yu'er or for him to keep for himself, it's up to him. That will at least save your lives. Then Empress Dowager Xiao shook her head with a wry smile and continued to talk to herself.
As if relieved of the big things in her heart, Empress Dowager Xiao lay down and soon fell asleep.
There was nothing to do all night, and when she woke up again, it was already dawn, and Empress Dowager Xiao felt that she hadn't been so comfortable for a long time, and she slept peacefully all night.
Listening to the sound of the nurse teasing the baby outside, Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't help but smile slightly, then uncovered the quilt and got up from the comfortable quilt.
"It's cold in winter, why don't you take a rest for the Queen Mother." Sensing the movement, Xiao Zhong knocked on the door and said with concern.
"No, this bed is so comfortable, I don't even want to get up when I sleep." Empress Dowager Xiao said with a smile.
"Queen Mother, you haven't had a good rest for a long time, it's rare to want to sleep, so it's better to sleep more." Xiao Zhong persuaded him.
"No! This person, when he gets older, he doesn't sleep so much! By the way, did King Tang say when he would come? Let Xiao Zhong fiddle with her hair accessories, Empress Dowager Xiao asked.
"I didn't say when King Tang would come! But the maid asked the Queen Mother when she was going to eat? Xiao Zhong replied.
"Let them send it! I also want to see if there is anything special about Tang Wang's breakfast. Empress Dowager Xiao commanded with a smile.
"Whoa!"
After a while, the maid brought breakfast, of course, it will not disappoint the Empress Dowager Xiao, small steamed buns with cheese, millet porridge with pickles, pickles, and a stir-fried bean sprouts! Although it was simple, it made Empress Dowager Xiao have a great appetite.
"This is supposed to be a green vegetable made of beans, can beans grow in winter?" Empress Dowager Xiao asked suspiciously.
"The old slave doesn't know! Maybe Tang Wang has another way to grow green vegetables in winter! Xiao Zhong shook his head and said.
"Warm soup, you say? But it's not like it, the dishes in warm soup always have a bit of a peculiar smell, and they are not so crisp. Empress Dowager Xiao shook her head and said.
