The girl learned to weave and make clothes. The silver saved every year is used to rescue the people in pain, don't you know, and now I don't know how many people call her Guanyin Niangniang! ”

Guanyin Niangniang? Qiao Siwan looked at Concubine Dong with a smile. The other party waved his hand again and again: "Don't listen to this girl's nonsense." The prince has always lived a simple life, I just follow his wishes, as for those common people, I just want to do more good deeds for the prince, and pray for him to return safely on the battlefield. ”

These words are said from the heart, Qiao Siwan believes that anyone who hears them will think that they are moved, and they don't know why. was also scared of being deceived by Yu Meiniang, she was wary of everyone, especially Concubine Dong in front of her, noble, cautious, kind, modern, clever, and personable, not to mention being a side concubine, you have to be a princess. It's enough, too. Will people be free from a trace of flaws? That's how we get along today. Concubine Dong is indeed a seamless person. Qiao Siwan didn't show these emotions, she just smiled and said, "Concubine Dong is really thinking about the prince." I was very impressed when I heard it! ”

"This kid is really good at talking." Concubine Dong smiled: "Let's go, let's go to the silkworm room to have a look." ”

The silkworm house was in a corner of the east end of the flower garden, and the mother guarding the door immediately knelt down and saluted when she saw them coming. Then he opened the door steadily. There were only a lot of brightly lit wooden shelves, and many wooden boxes were piled on top of them. Concubine Dong walked over, opened a box, and smiled at Qiao Siwan: "Come and have a look." This is a silkworm that has not yet hatched. ”

Qiao Siwan glanced at it and saw that it was a spot the size of a grain of rice, and couldn't help but nod. Sun Rouning took a step back and said with a smile: "Oh, although I also want to learn from Concubine Dong to raise silkworms." But I happen to be very scared of these things. ”

Qiao Siwan smiled at her, and then turned her head to look at the whole room, but there were many round low plates on these wooden shelves. The size of the plate varies. There were one or two hundred silkworm babies squeezed into each plate, wriggling and rolling, Concubine Dong smiled: "I love to come and see if I have nothing to do, these children first grow to one inch, and then one and a half inches after a day, and then grow to two inches long." At first, the mulberry leaves they ate were chopped and very tender, and in about four or five days, they had to feed the whole mulberry leaves! Isn't it funny, you say? ”

That's when it happened. A girl standing on the side said with a smile: "Niangniang, now a large number of young silkworms have grown, do you want to take a look?" ”

Concubine Dong looked at Qiao Siwan and Sun Rouning. Sun Rouning had an expression on her face that was about to vomit. Quickly stepped back: "No. No, I'm not going, I'm not feeling well. ”

Qiao Siwan smiled: "Niang Niang Yaxing." I'm with you. ”

Concubine Dong looked at Sun Rouning and said, "Since you want to go." Let's go together. ”

Sun Rouning was a little embarrassed. Speechless. Ban Xiang Fang nodded in agreement.

There are more than a dozen loads of fresh mulberry leaves in the courtyard. When Qiao Siwan and the others walked in, there were maids who were scrubbing the mulberry leaves one by one, and a few maids used clean hand towels to dry the washed mulberry leaves. Flatten the ground and put it on a bamboo plate. The baby silkworm began to feast on mulberry leaves. Mulberry leaves in each plate. Most of the time there are only some leaf tendons left. Abbreviated estimates. There are always more than a few thousand silkworms stored here. As soon as I walked in, I heard a rustling sound. It was like the sound of raindrops hitting dead grass.

"Let's go see the silk cocoon, this one is very funny!" Concubine Dong said with great interest. She walked over to the house next to her. Qiao Siwan followed on the opposite side. Sun Rouning's face was pale. Standing in the courtyard and stopped.

Qiao Siwan looked back at her, and Sun Rouning said curtly: "I'm really afraid of those white insects, you can go in." "Don't be afraid. She shuddered when she heard the sound of silkworms nibbling mulberry leaves.

Qiao Siwan gradually hooked the corners of her lips and said, "That's good." Sister-in-law should rest in for a while. ”

In the room, a girl ring plucked the cocoon from the box, and threw the cocoon into a pot of boiling water, and a girl ring used a bamboo broom to stir continuously, stirring until a cocoon could pull out a thread. He stopped stirring and tied it to a thin needle. Smoke and stir. After the silk of one cocoon is drawn, the silk of the second cocoon is connected. Soon you will get a twist of raw silk.

Concubine Dong looked at it from the side with a light smile. She clearly felt that this was a good deed. Qiao Siwan saw. But he can't frown himself. The maids in this house were so red that their eyes were red from the boiling water, their whole faces were swollen, and the skin on their hands was burned, red, swollen, inflamed, and even bleeding. It can only be bandaged with strips of cloth. Such a scene, Concubine Dong can watch it with relish. In her opinion, it was a good deed for her to order people to raise silkworms and weave cloth in the house. In Qiao Siwan's opinion. Let these girls who don't know these part-time girls do this. It was undoubtedly an unusual torment.

Concubine Dong saw that Qiao Siwan was fascinated, so she continued to take her for sightseeing, and then walked inside, which was the place where the silk was dried, and Concubine Dong took a look at all the silk threads. Then he walked to a vermilion-colored silk edge. Start with a deep twist. I looked at it more and more carefully. All the maids were already kneeling on the ground, solemnly and silently waiting for her to speak, and Concubine Dong looked at it for a while. Suddenly frowned: "Look for yourself, the color of the upper twist is so dark, but the color of the second twist is so light, the color is too uneven!" You didn't pay much attention and therefore jumped color! ”

The girl was startled. Hurry up and kneel and kowtow.

Concubine Dong smiled and waved her hand: "That's it." You are not suitable for this part-time job, so don't come back in the future. ”

Is this good thing to make her go back to work outside? Qiao Siwan looked at this scene and thought in her heart. Who knew that the girl was suddenly pale with shock, trembling lips and not saying a word. The mothers next to her came over to help her away, and she stared at Qiao Siwan, as if she wanted to ask for mercy but finally didn't dare to speak.

Seeing this kind of scene, Qiao Siwan couldn't help but think it was fresh, but because of her identity as a bride, she couldn't say much.

Came out of Concubine Dong's silkworm room. Sun Rouning said as if she suddenly remembered something: "The prince should wake up, I have to go and take medicine for him." I won't accompany you today. ”

Qiao Siwan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, please poop." ”

Sun Rouning said goodbye to them with a smile, and after a while. Concubine Dong understretched slightly. seemed to be a little tired, and the mother next to her immediately said, "Niangniang." It's time for you to rest. ”

Qiao Siwan smiled: "Yes." I'm sorry for you today. ”

Concubine Dong smiled lovingly, and left with the maids' mothers.

Looking at their backs saying goodbye, Qiao Siwan frowned. Calamus smiled on the side: "Miss." This Concubine Dong is really kind. ”

Kindness? If she is really a kind person, why does the girl ring in the silkworm room seem to have seen a ghost.

A faint trace of worry appeared on Qiao Siwan's face, this person in the Yanwang Mansion. From the noble and modern Concubine Dong, to the prince who has never met, to the princess who is overzealous, and even the soft and weak Aunt Cao, it is indescribably treacherous.

She vaguely thought that she seemed to be walking into a fog.

Back in Hexintang, Jiang Chi has not yet returned. Jiang's mother smiled and wanted to protect the people in the courtyard to Qiao Siwan.

Qiao Siwan sat down in the middle room, and a little girl brought tea. Hexintang's mother, Du's mother, kowtowed to her. said: "May the princess of the county be auspicious." ”

Qiao Siwan glanced at her. Forty high, long face, white skin. The eyes are black and bright, and they are quite bright. It's very steady and thick, and people think they're close when they see it.

Then there are the four first-class maids in the courtyard, Bihe, Baguio, Biyan, and Biyu. Six second-class rings and eight third-class rings kowtowed to Qiao Siwan. Sign up one by one.

Qiao Siwan drank the tea slowly, only silently without speaking.

In front of the eyes of the next man. Silence is often a very effective deterrent. They bow their eyebrows and bow their heads. Even the atmosphere didn't dare to speak, and after a while, Qiao Siwan ordered them to get up with a smile.

Mother Jiang smiled: "The county king has been absent from the mansion for a long time. There are only a few maids in the yard who are responsible for cleaning. Because the princess of the county is coming. Concubine Dong Niangniang entrusted the land to you according to the rules of the princess, and added people to you. ”

According to the example of the princess? Qiao Siwan heard this. He raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Jiang's mother. He looked like he was smiling. Mother Jiang was stunned in her heart, and she couldn't touch the reality of this new princess of the county. smiled and said, "Do you think it's not freehand?" It's okay to change people without freehand slaves. ”

Qiao Siwan smiled faintly and shook her head: "This is Concubine Dong's mind." But I was disrespectful. As she spoke, she closed the celadon bowl. Don't look at them either. He only said slowly: "I entered this courtyard." Naturally, they are the people of this courtyard. I'm a very nice person to work with. Colleagues should do their best. Fang Wuxi, who had no words in a row, glanced at him coldly and said, "The princess of the county is generous. Naturally, I won't worry about you, but the old slave is not a person I want to talk to, and the main thing about being a slave is not cleverness, but loyalty, is it clear? ”

The man standing underground was in a state of flux. "Slaves know. You will serve your master faithfully. ”

Qiao Siwan smiled, but didn't say anything more. He called out "Hongyu", and "Hongyu took the silver that had been planned in advance and distributed it as a reward." A house of mothers chattering thanksgiving.

Ge Pu stepped forward and said, "The princess of the county is also tired today, or rest first." ”

Mother Du and Mother Jiang glanced at each other. This time, Du's mother accompanied Qiao Siwan into the inner room.

Qiao Siwan asked her pleasantly, "Where is Mother Du from?" How long have you been on an errand in the house? ”

Mother Du was a little frightened and said: "The slave is a domestic slave in the mansion, and he has been in the mansion for more than 20 years.

Qiao Siwan looked at her with a worried look on her face, and said with a smile: "Mother Du is not nervous, although we are master and servant in name, you are the elder." I have experienced a lot of things, and I respect you very much in my heart. In the future, it will be up to you to raise some points. ”

Mother Du's face was full of uneasiness, and she replied respectfully: "The princess of the county really killed the slave when she said this, and the slave is to serve Princess Yan." After the princess passed away, she waited on Concubine Dong's side. Now that I've been put in charge of this yard, what do you have to say? ”

Qiao Siwan's smile grew thicker and thicker. The tone was soft: "You have served your mother and Concubine Dong, you must be a safe and sensible person, and you and Mother Jiang will repair the things in the backyard." ”

Mother Du's face flushed slightly, and she said earnestly: "It is a blessing for a slave to be able to serve the prince and princess of the county. The slave must be careful and exert himself. ”

Qiao Siwan smiled and said, "Hongyu." Take what I've prepared. Hongyu immediately took out a pair of jadeite bracelets of excellent color from the box. He took out a red gold ruby bode, and put it in Du's mother's hand.

Mother Du was flattered and thanked in shock, turned around and walked out to find Mother Jiang. The first sentence was: "This princess of the county is a powerful master, we have to be steady!" ”

Lingcheng on the southern border

Jiang Tianye finally failed to run out, and he was forcibly sent back to the big tent.

"Have you had enough trouble! There is nothing else to be to you
