Since the "Dragon Boat Festival Flood", a large number of people who have no food and clothing have become homeless, and manual labor is needed to repair the river embankment.

The South Street of Zilang Capital City, full of traffic, people come and go, behind it, there is a wide street and alley hidden in the middle of the noisy, which was originally where the Zilang Academy was located.

In recent years, as the Zilang Kingdom has become increasingly wealthy, the capital has continued to expand, and the South Street has slowly become a lively place.

Zilang Academy, which has been empty for a long time, has suddenly been in and out in recent days, and the owner of the tea shop opposite the academy has been here for many years.

"This place is going to be changed to an embroidery workshop, and recently all the states and counties in Zilang are preparing to build government-run weaving workshops and embroidery workshops!" The boss explained while setting out the refreshments.

"It's not that this year's flood is in trouble, there is no food and I have to exchange silk embroidery, it's good that Yan Yunchao didn't turn his face!" A tea guest sighed.

Another tea guest echoed, "Yes, our Zilang country has less land, mulberry silk weaving is developed, and the people can be rich by relying on silk trade, and the Yanyun Dynasty is the most frequent trade in the north, so you can't be offended!" ”

If King Ruining had successfully married Princess Yuhua, this problem should not be difficult to solve, and more than a month later, only her embroidered gold dress was found in Yueming Lake, but the princess disappeared......

Although the relationship between the two countries is very awkward, but the current predicament has to bite the bullet and ask Yan Yunchao for help, the envoy sent has already replied, Yanyun Emperor did not refuse Zilang's request for help, but the number of silk embroidery that can be exchanged for grain far exceeds the current capacity of Zilang Kingdom.

At this time, at the gate of Zilang Academy, there was a bean green brocade carriage parked, and Lang Zhongzhang of the Ministry of Engineering summoned the carriage and waited beside the car.

Immediately afterwards, a man with a long body and a jade man got out of the car, he got out of the car and did not enter immediately, but stopped and looked up at the plaque covered with red silk on the lintel, and vaguely saw the four big characters of "Zilang Embroidery Workshop".

This man is dressed in a snow-satin bird depiction robe, wearing a jade belt around his waist, and his black hair is tied up with a silver crown.

Zilang Academy covers a wide area, with wide streets and alleys in front of the door, and a total of five courtyards.

Stepping into the gate, there was a shadow wall in front of him, Zhang Zhao respectfully led the way in front, and the group bypassed the shadow wall, just outside the weeping flower gate, a woman's crisp voice sounded in the courtyard, and her decisive and capable tone was like a general commanding in front of the battle.

The man's footsteps paused, and a smile flashed on his face, which made Zhang Zhao next to him slightly stunned.

In front of the main hall, a lightly dressed but luxuriously dressed woman was busy, discussing something with the principal, while watching the people in the courtyard carrying things.

The guard was about to make an announcement, but the man stopped him with his hand and walked down the verandah.

"Director Li is really diligent! Now it's time to run the embroidery workshop. ”

Li Ying turned her head and saw the person coming, hurriedly handed the book in her hand to the principal, and was about to bow down when she stepped forward, but the man helped her and said in a low voice: "I will only be Lord Lin here in the future, don't make a big salute." ”

“…… I've seen Lord Lin! Li Ying was really a clever and intelligent woman, so she immediately changed her words and said with a smile: "Lord Lin is also very diligent, isn't it just today!" ”

The corner of the man's mouth hooked, and he said to Zhang Zhao: "Lord Zhang, please go around again, if there is anything missing, make up for it to Director Li as soon as possible." ”

After speaking, he turned around and entered the main hall, Li Ying also came in, and the guards closed the door and guarded outside.

Seeing that there was no one, Li Ying asked Master Lin with a smile, "What kind of tea does the second brother want to drink?" I brought a lot of good tea from home. ”

The fire in July, the weather is a little cold in the morning and evening, and the afternoon is still unbearably hot, Lord Lin unfolded the folding fan and shook it twice, still faint, "Feel free!" ”

Li Ying smiled and shook her head, "Every time you say that, then I'm free." A pair of fair-skinned slender hands unfolded the tea sets one by one, and did not ask the maid to come in to fan the stove, all by himself.

Lord Lin leaned back in his chair, as if he was a little tired, as if he was thinking about something, Li Ying didn't bother him, and quietly did all the procedures for sencha.

Finally, he spoke, with a slight reproach in his tone, "You, the daughter of the Ministry of Works, why do you have to come to this troubled water, and let your mother recommend you, it's hard to explain if you messed up this errand." ”

"To see you often!" Li Ying said with a grin.

Lord Lin: "......"

The tea was already fried, and Li Ying elegantly put the tea soup into the white porcelain tea cup, as well as a few plates of delicate snacks, and sent them to the front of the desk on a tray together, first serving one to Lord Lin, and then putting another in front of herself.

"The second brother came here at this hour, there shouldn't be lunch, this snack was made by my chef this morning, I know that the second brother doesn't like to eat sweets, these are light and salty."

Lord Lin picked up the teacup, sniffed the tea, nodded with a smile, and then took a sip.

Li Ying was not in a hurry to taste the tea, but just played with the tea cup in her hand, and said for a while: "Second brother, although I don't know why you left the army to do these hard and tedious things when you had outstanding military achievements, do you know how much I envy you?" ”

Lord Lin glanced at Li Ying with a little confusion and waited quietly for her to continue.

Li Ying continued: "As long as I am a man, I must break into the world like my second brother, but it's a pity that I ...... As a woman, although I have been able to read books and history like you since I was a child, I can ride horses and play. But when you become an adult, you can fight with a sword and leap on a horse; Wen can be vertical and horizontal, but I can only put an embroidery needle in the boudoir, I didn't expect that now with this small embroidery needle, I can also solve the dilemma of Zilang country, I naturally will not let go of this opportunity. ”

Lord Lin's eyebrows moved slightly, sighed slightly, nodded, drank the tea in his hand, stood up and said: "I wrote down Sister Ying's words, on the day the embroidery workshop opens, I will come by myself, you stay." ”
