The spring breeze warms up, the spring rain moistens things, and the spring sun urges a city to bloom.

However, the spring color everywhere in Bianjing City, no matter how beautiful it is, it can't match the flowers in the Shaofu Prison.

The young superintendent, who is in charge of the daily wear of the royal family, has five courtyards under his jurisdiction.

Wensi Academy, the handicraft of gold, silver, jade, rhino glass, including the hairpins of the concubines.

Ayajin Temple, the palm of the splendid thing.

Dyeing Institute and Cultural Embroidery Institute, palm dyeing silk and embroidery.

Tailoring institute, in charge of tailoring clothing.

In addition to the Wensi Academy, the other four courtyards are all related to the large number of clothing fabrics required by the inner court and the clan.

In February and March, the four courtyards began to be busy preparing summer clothes.

The silk satins that will go through one after another delicate processes before they can be sent to the hands of the royal nobles carry the beautiful colors of the clouds and spring flowers, which makes people look at it and feel intoxicated.

In the afternoon of this day, when Zhang Shangyi stepped into the tailoring institute, she saw the young supervisor Cai You, who was standing in the warm sunlight with Liang Sicheng, the chamberlain of Zhao Ji's mansion, the king of Suining County, carefully examining the silk fabrics sent by the Ayajin Academy.

Liang Sicheng also held a color sketch in his hand.

"This is what the King of Suining wants?"

Zhang Shangyi walked over, asked, glanced at the sketch, and admired the "flower line" on the silk material with great interest.

"Hehua line" is a common technique of silk, silk workers carefully select the same color, and different shades of color silk, twist into a line, and then weave on the machine. In this way, the pattern is evenly and three-dimensional, and the luster of the fur of birds and beasts is expressed, and the light and shade of the mountains and lakes are extremely delicate and realistic.

"This picture of plum branches and magpies is even better than the picture drawn by Danqing's wonderful hands." Zhang Shangyi praised.

With a foreign minister like Cai You, Liang Sicheng was not good at showing too much affection to his godmother, so he only bowed his hand slightly, bowed and said: "Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival, the official family gave a banquet in Xuande Building, and the county king saw Zeng Shuxiang's wife Wei wearing a silk big-sleeved shirt, which was very exquisite, and the deer in the forest looked like they were alive. After the king returned home, he thought about it, and the flowers and birds he painted were also woven with this silk technique. ”

"Oh," Zhang Shangyi said with a smile, "In the end, it is the king of the county, a real celebrity is self-styled, and when he saw this ingenious warp and weft skill, what he thought of was definitely not to make such a lavish large-sleeved robe and drape it on his body and swagger around." ”

Liang Sicheng was stunned.

Godmother's irony, isn't it Mrs. Wei of Zeng Bu Zeng?

Cai You's father, Cai Jing, but under Zhang Dan's door, did the godmother deliberately say it to Cai You?

But godmother, obviously the friendship with Zeng Fu is not ordinary.

Liang Sicheng has been a little confused since he was in Liu Guifei's pavilion last time and heard his godmother Zhang Shangyi speak for Zhang Dan. He easily found an opportunity, and when he accompanied the king of Suining County into the palace to greet the queen mother, he asked Zhang Shangyi.

Shang Yi only told him one sentence: Regardless of the change of the king's flag at the head of the city, let's just stand on the side of the official family and the county king.

At this time, I heard Zhang Shangyi say again: "Mr. Liang, Cai Du is in charge of affairs, although the king of the county can rest assured." Since he led the tailoring institute, the ones sent to the county king's mansion are as big as the quilt robes and as small as the socks and handkerchiefs, which one is not a good thing that may not be found in the fairy palace? Take this handkerchief and go back to your house to show it to the king of the county. ”

Liang Sicheng is the most clever ghost who can hear and distinguish the meaning, wondering if Zhang Shangyi has something to say to Cai You, so he hurriedly and carefully rolled up the sketch and silk material, put it in his sleeve, and said goodbye to Zhang and Cai.

Cai You saw Liang Sicheng's figure disappear outside the door, and said to his subordinates: "Go and bring one of the pillow satin that will be sent to Longyou Palace (the residence of the Empress Dowager) in a few days, and I will ask Shang Yi to take a look." ”

……

Deep in the yard.

Cai You cooked tea for Zhang Shangyi and served three plates of dim sum.

A plate of agar plum jelly, is boiled with cauliflower, poured into the mold, mixed with honey and the newly picked white plum blossoms in February, to be cooled and condensed, the flowers are in amber, sweet and fragrant with plum.

A plate of vinegar-pickled eggplant melon is the tender eggplant melon picked in the early autumn of last year, cut into thin strips, pickled in salted bean sauce for winter, and now mixed with finely chopped quail meat, dill, ginger powder, Zhejiang vinegar to eat.

The last dish of Ringo candied fruit is clean and smooth, and it is quite gluttonous to watch.

Zhang Shangyi took a sip of tea, tasted everything in the dim sum, and teased Cai You: "Da Lang's habits are good, like me, if you don't do a damn person, you can't see frustration, you should eat, you should drink." ”

Cai You smiled faintly: "My father also said, this matter was originally to take a step at a time, such as expanding the border to repair the village, good luck, repair a few more, bad luck, repair half of the collapse of one, don't worry, the coming day is long." It's just that Lu Wuniang, a jealous woman, will be extinguished. For Imperial Physician Miao, it was a pity that my father learned that something had happened in the Su Mansion that night in the Gongyuan and that he wanted to kill Imperial Physician Miao. I finally buried a ...... in the palace."

Zhang Shangyi sighed: "Hey, Miao Ling has always reported that Su Song and the Yao family actually got the grass gray snake line, and I am really surprised." Originally, as long as the queen was dragged into the witch Gu disgust, I could say that Zhang Duan and Liu Guifei tried, one was in the political hall, and the other was in Yuxiu Pavilion, both inside and outside, and the official family wanted to abolish the Empress Dowager Xuanren, and it happened that even the Meng family was abolished. After the abolition, all dynasties and dynasties are great events, Zeng Bu, a hypocrite who prides himself on not being a party and caring for the country, and is a person who is Xiang Dowager, must not jump out and fight with Zhang Dan? The rafters in the early days are rotten first, Zhang Dian and Zeng Bu will be rotten, one is to fuel the arrogance of the adulterous concubine and rot in the mouths of the defenders, and the other is the foreign minister to interfere in the harem and rot in the hearts of the officials. ”

Cai You picked up a large handful of eggplant quails, chewed them, and said: "Father said, find the opportunity slowly, although he and his uncle (Cai Bian) have had a bit of a dispute recently, but Zeng Buruo chewed his tongue in the official's ear and wanted to release him, and his uncle would still talk to him." ”

"Your uncle is a man who understands. Zhang Dian has courage and no strategy, your uncle and woman are benevolent, there are only two of him in front of the emperor, and he can't fight Zeng Bu, the old fox, how can your father teach Zeng Bu to make a bad right-hand man? ”

Cai You frowned and said, "Shang Yi has been able to probe the official family in the past few days, whether the official family still wants to investigate this matter?" ”

"It's one thing to want to find out, and it's another thing to find out. The queen knew that someone coveted her posteriority, and Su Song, who was killed halfway and didn't know what to do, didn't die, and the two small characters Lu Wuniang and Miao Lingsu died, so what about the situation? With these, how can you continue to check? Besides, I just ask you, if you are the green-robed gentleman who doesn't know the reason and looks lively in the court, who do you think is the most coveted to the position of the queen? ”

"Concubine Liu."

"Then do you think the officials will be willing to investigate?"

Cai You understood and smiled.

"Concubine Liu Guifei is uniquely favored, and she has just given birth to a prince, how can the official family be willing to let her be subject to the criticism and suspicion of the court officials. Let your father rest assured, this matter is over. ”

Cai You got up, looked at the water in the soup bottle, and said, "Every time the little brother asks Shang Yi for advice, he benefits a lot. Not only the big things, but also the cooking. Previously, Shang Yi taught the recipe of vegetarian crab noodles, and the younger brother asked the cook in the house to make it for his father, who was full of praise, saying that the top restaurant in Kaifeng City Restaurant couldn't come up with such ingenuity. ”

With a sycophant smile on his face, he looked at Zhang Shangyi.

But I saw the color of the owl in her eyes flash.

"It's only cheaper for Yao's, but it actually picks up a life. Not to mention the good things that she ruined us, she also got the reward of the official family and the weight of the queen. I don't know how such a swaggering little slut is so prosperous! ”

"Shang Yi annoys her, isn't this easy to do? She was not accepted as a concubine by the official family and protected in the palace, how did Lu Wuniang die, then the Yao family can also die again. ”

Zhang Shangyi shook his head: "Once this matter is calm, don't make waves again." By the way, your father knows the tribute at this age, how is the situation? ”

Cai You said: "The candidates are very interesting, and nine times out of ten they praise the new policy, and so is Zeng Wei." ”

After a pause, he added: "Shang Yi rest assured, his name will be in Yijia." ”
