Chapter Seventy-One: Concubine Jing
Yinye still couldn't tell the difference between duck feathers and duck down at first, but Chen Fang said it a few times before he could barely distinguish it.
"Got it, the adults asked us to put it away."
"Well, in the future, the ducks and geese killed here will kiss each other, remember, duck down and goose down should be separated."
"My lord, geese also have goose down!"
"The velvet of the white swan is the best!"
Chen Fang said, remembering that there are actually many white swans in this era, which is far from the level of protecting animals.
Even tigers and leopards, which can only appear in zoos in later generations, can only be found in the mountains and forests of this era.
When will I have the opportunity to get myself some velvet, I have only heard of it before, and I really haven't used it.
On the same day, the dozen or so live ducks were processed, and the collected eiderdown was cleaned by Chen Fang and began to be dried.
By the time the eiderdown is all ready, it's already dusk.
"Some are missing, just enough to make a down jacket for a child!"
"I'll make one for His Royal Highness Taiping, and I'll run to the Shangyi Bureau tomorrow."
On the second day, after breakfast, Chen Fang rushed to the Shangyi Bureau, which was one of the six bureaus and was not far away.
When he arrived here, Chen Fang saw at a glance the bamboo pole supported outside the Shangyi Bureau, and some fabrics were drying on the bamboo poles, all of which were some silk and satin silk.
The colorful satin silk juan hunting and dancing in the winter sun, which is not very warm, reminds Chen Fang of many scenes from movies.
Chen Fang touched it, and immediately a palace maid from the Shangyi Bureau wanted to run to stop Chen Fang. After seeing the person who came clearly, the palace maid looked at Chen Fang, and she didn't know why she came here.
Looking at the palace maid's blushing face, Chen Fang smiled lightly. He is already a little used to it, and it is easy for the palace maids in this palace to see themselves blushing, probably it is really difficult to see men in the palace, maybe.
"I'm looking for Shangyi, I don't know if Lord Shangyi is there?"
"It's here, it's inside!"
Chen Fang was going in, and the palace maid hurriedly called Chen Fang!
"What's wrong?"
"Concubine Jing is also inside! Wait a minute, adults! ”
"Oh, the mother is inside, then I'll wait!"
As soon as Chen Fang's words fell, two women walked out of the Shangyi Bureau, both of whom were slightly older, and one of them was very beautiful, as if it made the winter sun more dazzling when she appeared.
"The slave knocks to see Concubine Jing!"
"Weichen knocks to see Concubine Jing!"
"Hurry up! Chen Fang, how did you come here? ”
"Back to Niangniang, Weichen came to find some fabric!"
"Oh, then you're busy!"
Concubine Jing walked a few steps, and suddenly stopped when she passed by Chen Fang's side.
"Chen Fang, the things of the past few days are very much to my liking!"
The palace maid who followed Concubine Jing next to her gave Chen Fang an ingot of silver.
"The mother's reward for the adults!"
"Concubine Xie Jing!"
Chen Fang did not refuse, the reward in this palace, if you want to resign, you will not give face to the nobles in the palace. Acceptance is the right way.
Besides, silver is a good thing. Look at the crown prince and Concubine Jing, they will reward people more, and real money is real.
The food of Li Zhi's concubines was actually sent by the Shang Shi Bureau, unlike other nobles in the palace, who had to send someone to ask for it from the Shang Shi Bureau.
After all, she is Li Zhi's genuine wife. There are no concubines in this palace, only Concubine Shu, Concubine Jing and Concubine De, Chen Fang doesn't know if it's because history has changed, or if he remembers it wrongly.
At this time, Concubine Jing had already left Chen Fang's side with the palace maid, and Chen Fang looked at Concubine Jingya's slender back.
Concubine Jing is really an extremely quiet and beautiful woman like her name, she and Concubine Shu entered the palace together, and she was already in her thirties at this time.
In terms of appearance, she is not inferior to the other concubines, even if she is getting older at this time, the temperament on her body is becoming more and more obvious.
Concubine Jing has no heirs in the palace, according to Concubine Jing's background, Chen Fang knows that this is the queen in the original history. It's just that the temperament is not like it at all.
Maybe it has something to do with identity!
The history of this world has changed, although Concubine Jing entered the palace and became a concubine, she has never ascended to the throne of the queen, nor has she been a genuine princess like the original history. Because Taizong died earlier than the original history, Li Zhi did not have any crown princess when he succeeded to the throne.
Maybe this is the reason why the temperament is different, and sometimes a woman's jealousy is also forced out.
This Concubine Jing has an excellent family background, and she is the daughter of Wang Renyou, the Duke of Sikong Wei, and the daughter of the Duke of Guo. His grandfather was the left servant of the Western Wei Dynasty, Wang Sizheng, and he was a famous general of the Western Wei Dynasty.
The five surnames of the Sui and Tang dynasties were Qiwang, and this Jing Concubine was born in the Taiyuan Wang family and belonged to the Eastern Han Dynasty after Wang Yun.
After the famous family, when she entered the palace, she was deeply favored by Li Zhi, but unfortunately her stomach was the same as her name, too quiet.
Concubine Jing left, Chen Fang looked at Concubine Jing's back, if this Concubine Jing's body was fine, I am afraid that the pattern in this palace would have been rewritten.
Appearance, figure, family background, and temperament are all first-class. This is still getting older, and when I first entered the palace, I am afraid that it will be even more glorious.
It's a pity that not being able to have children is a taboo in this palace!
"Lord Chen really came to me to find some fabric?"
This fashion dress had already spoken, pulling Chen Fang's thoughts back.
"It's still troublesome Shangyi! Here are some gifts! Please also smile! ”
Chen Fangzao took out a wrapped paper bag and handed it to Shang Yi at this time.
"Your Excellency is really polite, you can say hello to the colorful clothes if you have anything, and what gifts to bring!"
It turned out that the name of the Shangyi Bureau was Caiyi, and Caiyi said that Chen Fang was too polite, but he had already taken the paper bag.
At this time, who in the palace doesn't know the snacks of the Shangshi Bureau, only the nobles in the palace can ask for some of these things on weekdays, how can they do things in the palace.
Although she is a female official, she is still only a servant in this palace, and those nobles who serve the emperor are in heaven and earth.
At this time, Chen Fang used these snacks as gifts, and Caiyi was naturally very happy.
At this time, he took the paper bag in one hand and led Chen Fang into the Shangyi Bureau.
"What fabric do adults need, just pick it!"
"I'll have to trouble Shangyi to make a dress later!"
"Oh, make it for the adults! That's adult size! I'll go get a ruler! ”
"It's not for me, it's for Princess Taiping!"
"Oh, Her Royal Highness's clothes, you don't need to measure them."
All the body sizes of the concubines and princesses in the palace are recorded by the Shangyi Bureau, such as the size of Princess Taiping, which needs to be changed several times a year, because Princess Taiping is the time to grow her body.
Chen Fang went to find the fabric, because he had to fill in the duck down, so he had high requirements for the fabric.
The chemical spinning waterproof fabric of later generations must not be available at this time, and can only be woven fabric, and the density of woven fabric must be very high. Even so, it is still not enough to make a down jacket, but the textile foundation cannot be reached, and Chen Fang has no good way at this time.
This is the problem of the industrial base, born in this era can only adapt, to change that can only come slowly.
