Chapter 337: Parting
After seeing Tang Xie and others, Ji Ning didn't drink any wine, and returned home in good spirits, Yu Ling had re-dried the bedding and clothes used for travel, and then steamed them with incense, and the clothes had a fragrant smell, and then sorted them out to prevent insects.
October day, it was already very cold in this era, and the clothes on Ji Ning's body were already very thick, but they had not yet reached the point of wearing cotton clothes.
Ji Ning suddenly thought of the cold of the northern country, in this year, the north of the Xiaoice era is very cold, may reach a low temperature of minus twenty or thirty degrees, it is difficult to adapt to this weather, only add more warm clothes on the body.
"Yuling, in the past two days, I went to some places where geese are raised, and found some light duck down and goose down to come back, it will be useful!" Ji Ning suddenly thought of doing a few down jackets.
The best warm clothes in this year are basically cotton, but cotton has just been introduced into the land of China, and only the middle and upper class aristocrats can enjoy such high-end things.
But once there is a down jacket, it will be different, the warmth of this thing has been verified, and it may be a little cumbersome in the production method, but Ji Ning believes that it can be completed with his ingenuity, not to mention that if he doesn't understand something, he can consult some books in his mind and apply ready-made science and technology in practice.
"Young Master, why are you looking for those messy things to come back? Shouldn't all those things be thrown away, or go to the fire? Yu Ling asked with a wink.
Ji Ning said with a smile: "Use goose down to burn the fire, that's too luxurious, no matter what, give you a tael of silver, buy as many as you can, ask those who raise geese, or raise ducks, the materials are almost the same, the most important thing is clean, you will tailor it yourself when you come back, I will teach you how to do it!" ”
Because of the poor fabric of the fabric in this era, Ji Ning couldn't make some very high-end down jackets, so he could only make some relatively simple ones that could keep him warm, or even just a vest, which might also give him a good role in keeping warm.
Ji Ning is also a person who can do what he wants, in a big city like Jinling City these years, there are many people who raise ducks and geese, these duck down and down have no effect, Yu Ling only went for more than two hours, and exchanged a few sacks of silver for one or two coins and came back, although it is not very heavy, but the materials for making a few clothes are enough. After selecting the batch with the best texture, Ji Ning began to let Yu Ling do it and began to make down jackets.
Yu Ling is ingenious, her female popularity is relatively good, but in the production of this kind of "high-tech" clothing still shows her lack of technology, in the end Ji Ning can only design the drawings, let the street tailor shop help, and spend a little silver, finally hurry to complete the work before the sixth day of the first month, and finally stuff the duck down and goose down into it, after completing the filling, and then pressing, as if looking for someone to play cotton, and finally complete this unprecedented clothes.
……
……
Originally, Ji Ning was going to make two or three pieces, but in the end he only made one, because the time was too rushed, and it was too difficult to find someone who was proficient in this way.
Yu Ling looked at a very novel piece of clothing and said curiously, "Young Master, what is this?" If it feels soft to the touch, can you wear this kind of clothing? ”
"You put it on and try it!" Ji Ning said with a smile.
"Don't want it, this is for the young master, wouldn't it be nice for the young master to put it on and see it himself?" Yu Ling grinned.
"You go to the capital with me, if you are afraid of the cold, I will dress you, even if it is a little bigger, you can put it on your body, the winter clothes are not afraid of big, we will arrive in the capital in the cold winter, that place is very cold, it may be snowy for days, it is difficult to see the sun!" Ji Ning said.
"Huh?"
Although Yu Ling knows that the north is cold, she doesn't have a specific concept, although she can see snow in Jinling City all year round, the snow is always not very heavy, and there will never be heavy snow for days.
Now that she heard that the heavy snow in the north can reach the point of freezing snow, she began to be a little scared, she was full of confidence in going to the north with Ji Ning, and at this time Xiao Nizi also began to worry about her future.
"Young master, if it's cold, then the slave ...... Don't you have to go out? Yu Ling asked a little nervously.
Ji Ning is still fiddling with the down jacket he made himself, he feels very interested, if he wants to do it again, he can only prepare after going to the capital, as for the duck down and goose down, he is going to store it in Jinling City first, if he wants to continue to make down jackets in the capital, he can buy materials in the capital, as a southerner, he wants to go to the north, he is afraid that his body is not used to it.
Yu Ling happily put the down jacket made by Ji Ning on her body, showing off there alone, and after a long time, she said with some emotion: "Young master, it's really warm!" ”
Ji Ning said angrily: "You are wearing it now, because it is not breathable, so it is warm, you are still active, and the most important thing is that you can keep warm in the north wind and heavy snow, put it up first, this thing is only worn in the coldest time in winter!" ”
"Oh." Yu Ling happily put away the down jacket that Ji Ning had made.
Ji Ning prepared some more things, and it was not until sunset and dusk that there was only one night left before departure.
Ji Ning was not in a hurry to eat dinner and go to bed, because he was still thinking about the plan on the way in the study, and the most important thing was to write a letter to "Su Pujia" before leaving, expressing his determination not to return if he did not enter the Jinshi.
But just like Li Xiu'er said, even if he doesn't get into the jinshi, there is no need to stay in the capital, he should come back to ask for relatives or ask for relatives, a Xie Yuan in Jinling City is already very beautiful, and Ji Ning doesn't need to put more pressure on himself.
If Ji Ning can't marry "Su Pujia" in the coming year, it will take another three years, Su Pujia will definitely not wait for him for three years, and now there is only one chance in front of Ji Ning, if he doesn't succeed, he will become a benevolent.
"Childe, dinner is ready for you, have you used it first?" After Yu Ling was going to travel with Ji Ning in the future, she was still very busy, not only to help Ji Ning clean up, but also to clean up her own.
Ji Ning said: "Let's put it first, and then eat when you are hungry!" ”
Ji Ning finished writing the letter to Su Pujia, the sky had already darkened, he lit the candle, at this time he was thinking of no one else, it was Shangguan Wan'er, who had met him many times in the night, and there was a real husband and wife.
Although Shangguan Wan'er has not known him for a long time, Shangguan Wan'er's talent and insight still deeply impressed Ji Ning, and Ji Ning feels that Shangguan Wan'er is very similar to Shangguan Wan'er in the history he knows, and they are both talented in the world.
"How can I think of others at this time, or think about Miss Su, she is the best choice for my future match, and I want to fly with her!"
