Chapter 235: The Source of the Heavenly Silkworm
At first, Cao Yu thought that he was thinking too much, but people didn't mean it at all, but then the two looked at each other several times before he had to walk over.
"Are you looking for someone?" Cao Yu said gently.
Granny Zhang quietly looked at the people who came over, she was struggling in her heart, she was originally willing to show up, but who knew that her footsteps did not move.
The two of them looked at each other quietly, and no one was in a hurry.
"Is Ling Xiu'er here?" A hoarse voice sounded, and Granny Zhang looked at the person in front of her seriously.
Cao Yu hesitated for a moment, opened her mouth and said, "She has passed away, what can I say to me." ”
After getting along with these two sentences, Cao Yu knew very well that he didn't know this old woman, he didn't have any impression at all, and he didn't expect that the other party would actually know Ling Xiu'er.
When Granny Zhang heard this, she was stunned, and her eyes dimmed suddenly, but there was no sadness on her face.
"Sure enough, it's like this, and in the end, I can't escape." Granny Zhang muttered to herself.
was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly thought of something, and fell on Cao Yu again, his face was very serious, "Don't persuade the people to raise heavenly silk anymore, this thing is a harmful thing." ”
Now it's not just me who has been killed, even the kind girl has been killed by this thing, and now she doesn't even have her life.
Cao Yu was very puzzled, for so long, he had never heard of Tian Silk and this kind of thing, once Ling Xiu'er led the people of the entire village to raise silkworms, and he didn't say anything about this matter.
"What do you mean by that?"
Granny Zhang had already fallen into her own memories, and she didn't know if she heard the person in front of her talking, but she was shaking her head vigorously.
"This thing is harmful, and it must not be raised anymore."
"Can you tell me the truth? I'm Ling Xiu'er's husband, and I want to know what's going on. Cao Yu frowned deeply.
Granny Zhang looked up at the tall man in front of her, and when she got along with Ling Xiu'er, the other party did reveal that they had already married, but these two people had not had a chance to meet yet.
Looking at Cao Yu's nervous expression, she thought that the other party wanted to know what Ling Xiu'er was killed by, and she was also a little distressed in her heart.
"Come with me."
Worried that the partition wall had ears, Granny Zhang took Cao directly to her house and told him the cause and effect of this incident in a dimly lit cabin.
"In the past, there was no heavenly silk, and the clothes of rich people were all gold silk, and that thing was too expensive, and not ordinary people could buy it."
At that time, Jin Silk was the representative of the wealthy, and it became a show off for high-ranking officials and nobles, because of the gold and silk itself.
"And how did this thing come about?" Cao Yu is an authentic farmer, so he naturally doesn't know how expensive gold silk is, but listening to this name, it is indeed very expensive.
In Granny Zhang's mouth, Cao Yu learned a lot about the relationship between Ling Xiu'er and Tian Silk, which he didn't know, and Ling Xiu'er never told him.
It turned out that it was Granny Zhang who gave the golden silkworm to Ling Xiu'er, but she didn't expect that she would eventually raise the silkworm, because the silkworm is not as delicate as the golden silkworm and is easier to feed, and then the golden silkworm was slowly replaced.
"I have already advised her at the beginning, whether it is a golden silkworm or a heavenly silkworm, don't raise it, otherwise it will definitely become a tool for profit, and those involved will definitely not end well."
As soon as she talked about this matter, Granny Zhang's eyes couldn't help but turn red, she had already used a tragic voice as an example, who knew that Ling Xiu'er still didn't listen, and now she has become that person.
As soon as Cao Yu heard ***, the whole person seemed to be pricked by a needle, and he raised his head suddenly, "How can this thing have anything to do with ***?" ”
If it was in normal times, Granny Zhang would definitely not tell others so easily, it may be that this place is too far away from the capital, and this man is Ling Xiu'er's husband, the other party has the right to know about this matter, and hurriedly told the other party all the relationships inside.
"I used to be the daughter of the textile family in Beijing, but I accidentally stepped into this whirlpool, and now I have become like this. At that time, I was still young, very skilled, and I also embroidered the dragon card for the emperor and became the weaver girl of the imperial gift, and now I have become like this. ”
Granny Zhang's face was a little sad, and she didn't know if she had experienced too many things, and when she talked about it, she didn't have a single tear.
"Later, the family was emptied, they took a fancy to the profits brought by the golden silk, and began to use the golden silk to seek benefits, this thing is very expensive, many people are unwilling to raise, plus they can't raise it, and the later golden silk becomes a brocade mouse. It's hard to find. ”
As for how she ran out of the family, Granny Zhang didn't want to say much about this, but just said the relationship between *** and this thing.
Cao Yu naturally wouldn't ask. These things are someone else's private business.
After hearing these words, my mood was very solemn, and my eyes were a little heavy when I looked at Granny Zhang, and I didn't know what I should say for a while.
Granny Zhang noticed it, and hurriedly smiled: "This matter has been going on for so many years, and I am used to it, and now I can tell this matter without any waves." ”
For many years afterward, she thought that she would no longer be exposed to these things, who knew that she would not be able to escape fate, and by chance let Ling Xiu'er know about it.
At that time, I begged her for several days, but finally agreed, and gave the silkworm seeds of the golden silkworm to Ling Xiu'er.
also said that this thing is very delicate, not it can be raised casually, who knows that this girl has actually cultivated silkworms.
"This girl is really a genius, the cultivated silkworm not only changed the shortcomings of the golden silkworm, but also produced the same quality as the golden silk, this thing has been valued at once." Granny Zhang sighed, she told her a thousand times, but in the end, she couldn't change the ending.
Cao Yu thought about it for a while, it seems that for a few days, Ling has been in a state of excitement, and suddenly brought this thing to everyone's field of vision, and finally led the people to plant mulberry and raise silkworms.
"Now that the girl has died, I am to blame for this matter, if I hadn't given her the golden silkworm at the beginning, it wouldn't have become like this now." Granny Zhang's face was full of self-blame, and her face looked a little pale.
Cao Yu denied, "This matter has nothing to do with you at all, since she has chosen this path, she has to bear the corresponding results, no one thought that things would develop like this, but it cannot be denied that this matter has nothing to do with it." ”
