Chapter 17: Bamboo Baskets
After returning to Qiuyuan, Shuang'er touched the two rain silk brocades and couldn't help asking: "Miss, why is Aunt Song so generous, this rain silk brocade that gave you is a good fabric, worth hundreds of taels!" I heard that Xiang Ye received six rain silk brocades from the emperor a few days ago, three of which were given to the eldest lady, and three were originally given to Aunt Song, so this Aunt Song is not an ordinary favor these days! ”
The more Shuang'er spoke, the more surprised she became.
This rain silk brocade is paid by the Brahma Kingdom every year, the quantity is limited, and the Great Wei itself cannot produce it, so it can be described as an inch of gold and inch brocade, and Tang Heng also helped the emperor do a tricky big errand before being rewarded with six rain silk brocades.
Tang Yanning sat at the table and touched the light blue rain silk brocade, which was silky and soft to the touch, and it was top-grade at a glance, "It's nothing more than trying to win me over, she has been so favored by her father recently, and the eldest lady and Aunt Du are afraid that they will be jealous, she doesn't want to be in multiple enemies, so she wants to be good friends with me, and many people have more strength." ”
After hearing this, Shuang'er suddenly realized that this was the case.
Tang Yanning suddenly couldn't help but pick up the basket of cloth when she saw it, and said that this style was beautiful, but she didn't pay attention to it at the time, and only took one back when Chen Laohan was enthusiastic.
This bamboo basket is oval in shape, the middle is prismatic weaving, and the upper circle is lace weaving, which is strong and durable, and good-looking, but how to look at this bamboo basket more familiarly?
Tang Yanning took a closer look again. Suddenly, his eyes widened, could this be the popular Du Ji Gonglan in Yunhe for 28 years?
In the twenty-eighth year of Yunhe, the king of Yunnan paid tribute to a batch of fresh lychees, all of which were equipped with bamboo baskets of this style. The emperor gave the fresh lychees to the harem concubines, among which Lan Guifei had the most in the palace, Lan Guifei has always been favored by the old emperor, and when she saw the basket of lychees that day, she couldn't help but feel very elegant, so she ordered Lan Ci Palace to use this kind of bamboo basket to install things in the future. After the emperor learned about it, he also went to see the bamboo basket, which was indeed unique in style and durable. It can be woven with only bamboo, and the cost is economical, which can save a lot of expenses. So he ordered this bamboo basket to be tribute blue, and the annual tribute of fruits and vegetables in the harem is equipped with this style of bamboo basket, and by the way, it won a smile from the beauty.
As soon as this order came out, some hairpin families followed suit for the sake of watch saving, and they all replaced the previous suitcases made of expensive wood with this blue.
The Lu family also used this kind of bamboo basket, no wonder it feels familiar, Lu Jinhua once bought her a basket of grapes, which was brought over with this style of basket at that time, but he only cared about eating grapes and didn't pay special attention to the basket.
At that time, this kind of bamboo basket was only sold by Du Kee, and for a time, this kind of bamboo basket was on fire, and Du Kee's daily bamboo baskets were in short supply. Because of its special weaving technique, only Du Ji can come out, so at that time Du Guangxing made a lot of money, and even the officials couldn't help smacking their tongues when they were raided later.
Tang Yanning suddenly understood, no wonder Chen Laohan had given up the complaint at that time, but he went to the yamen again two years later to beat the drum and voice his grievances.
It turned out that Du Guangxing not only defiled his daughter, but also stole the old man's unique weaving method for his own use, so Chen Laohan finally went to the yamen again because he was angry, and finally attracted attention with his death.
Tang Yanning sighed for a while, now it is the twenty-sixth year of Yunhe, Du Guangxing should not have stolen the weaving technique, then if he buys this technique in advance, this bamboo basket will not be his own industry in the future.
Suddenly seeing a business opportunity, Tang Yanning's eyes were shining with a little light, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, it seemed that as soon as Chen Laohan's daughter's case was rehabilitated, he could start to deal with this matter.
Shuang'er watched her young lady staring at a bamboo basket for a long time without saying a word, and couldn't help but come closer to take a look.
When Tang Yanning came back to his senses, he saw Shuang'er's big round eyes dangling in front of him, he was really startled, patted his chest and said, "Why did you suddenly get so close and scare me." ”
Shuang'er saw that she was scared and hurriedly said: "Miss, I just watched you look at a basket for so long, thinking that there is any treasure in this basket, so I can't help but come over to take a look." ”
Tang Yanning couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "You are really right, this basket really has treasures, I will talk to you in detail in the future." ”
Looking at the mysterious look of the young lady, Shuang'er was curious, isn't it just a good-looking bamboo basket? Can you still make a fortune?
Tang Yanning instructed Shuang'er to put the cloth away and go to a nap, and he was a little tired after making a fuss all morning.
Gujia Village.
Since Gu Huaisheng failed to make the list for three consecutive years, he has become a private school teacher in the village, teaching some children in the enlightenment period to read and write.
He teaches without quoting dead machines, and sometimes helps children know more words in the form of stories, which is flexible and not rigid and boring. Therefore, it attracts children from surrounding villages to come to school here, and although the income is meager, it has won a good reputation in the surrounding area.
It's almost time to get out of school.,The windows at the door of the private school are full of women at this time.,One by one, they are staring into the classroom with nymphomaniac faces.。
Gu Huaisheng frowned slightly, and had reminded these parents many times that they should pick up their children outside the gate of the college, and not swarm to the door and window, which would affect their children's reading. But one or two of them didn't seem to hear it, and every time they swarmed by the classroom door and window. Thanks to his determination, otherwise every time he is watched by so many people like monkeys, sometimes he really wants to pick up the ring ruler and bomb people.
In fact, I can't complain about these women, it's really Gu Huaisheng's appearance is too handsome, his face is like Song Yu, and his appearance is better than Pan An. Even the most beautiful man in the capital, Rui Wang, is inferior by three points.
He is slender, fresh and handsome in a green shirt every day, elegant and elegant temperament, and talks about Swen, which is really easy to tempt these little girls. Since Gu Huaisheng began to take over this private school, the number of students in it has quickly increased from a dozen to more than forty. And the parents who pick up people every day have also become the children's aunts, sisters and aunts......
"That's all for today, remember to review the poems you learned today when you go home, and practice them ten times, and I'll spot check tomorrow and get out of school."
"Yes, teacher......"
Hearing that a group of students were very excited after school, but they still got up and saluted the teacher first, and then walked happily to their families.
Just as he was packing up his things, there was a shadow in front of him, and a strong gardenia fragrance came, Gu Huaisheng frowned slightly, and asked without raising his head, "What's the matter?"
The voice was a little lower than when he usually spoke, and he looked a little indifferent, if it weren't for the fact that the face was really handsome, this impersonal voice alone would have scared off a group of women.
The woman in front seemed to be accustomed to Gu Huaisheng like this, so she didn't scare away, but lowered her head and replied shyly: "Sir, have you ever been married?" ”
"No, I didn't."
