Chapter 038: Raising Mama

"Mama, please come here, my adult is already waiting for your old man in the house."

"My lord said that the reason why I traveled thousands of miles to pick up my grandmother from Yingtianfu this time was to invite my grandmother to go to my lord's mansion to give a few lessons to the girls in the family and learn the rules and etiquette in the palace. A few days later, when the adults of my family brought the girl into the palace, they didn't lose face. ”

A woman in a light blue palace dress walked in front, followed by a fair-skinned, good-looking, half-aged grandmother.

The woman was about to take this grandmother into the backyard of the Shanggong Bureau to visit Song Yun.

The grandmother followed the steps of the woman in front of her, copied the path, and entered the small courtyard located in the Shanggong Bureau from the next road.

This small courtyard is the small courtyard where Lord Shang Yi, who is in charge of the six bureaus and one division of the palace, can live, and now it is the courtyard where Song Yun lives alone.

In front of the courtyard is the Shang Gong Bureau, on the left is the Shang Yi Bureau, the Shang Food Bureau and the Shang Yi Bureau are scattered around this small courtyard, and behind it is the Gong Zhengji who is in charge of the punishment of women in the palace.

A few Xifu begonias are planted in the small courtyard, and now it is the time to bloom very well.

The breeze blew, with a faint fragrance of begonias.

Walking under the corridor, the woman in blue who led the way in front glanced at a few Xifu begonias planted outside the corridor. The branches of the begonias are dense and overlapping, and the flowers are blooming one after another, which is gorgeous and dazzling, like clouds on the horizon.

"Don't hide it from Mama, my adults love these begonias the most, and when I have nothing to do, my adults will always stop in this courtyard for a long time."

The woman's words fell, and she walked the path to the house where Song Yun was resting.

took the grandmother into the house, and the woman in blue also retreated in amusement.

"I have long heard that Mama is the old man of the previous dynasty, and I have taught many concubines and princesses rules and etiquette in the past, and the crown princess originally planned to let Mama be raised in Ying Tianrong, but I have a little sister who is not a child, and I always worry about it."

"Knowing Mama's ability, I just thought about inviting Mama back to Yingtian and teaching her the rules for a few days, so that she can understand some etiquette and not do anything too out of line in the future."

Song Yun wore a light blue palace dress inlaid with pearl lace, sat on the main seat in the room, and commanded the grandmother sitting below her.

Song Yun invited Song Jin this time to raise her grandmother, surnamed Tan, who was an old man in the palace of the former dynasty, and had been raised in Yingtianrong.

After moving the capital to Shuntian, Mama Tan disliked the bitter cold in the north and the winter was long, so she did not follow Shuntian, but stayed in Yingtian to retire.

"Lord Shangyi is polite, the old woman is already an old man who has passed her prime, and being able to teach the rules and etiquette of the girls in the house for Lord Shangyi really makes the old woman find something to do in the coming days."

"It's just a girl from Lord Shangyi's family, don't think the old woman is old-fashioned, doesn't know how to be flexible, and has a weird temper."

Mama Tan is a person who served in the palace in the former dynasty, and she used to be a female official by the emperor's side, and she was raised in the palace when she was old.

Even if Song Yun is now in charge of the female dependents in the palace, Lord Shangyi has to give her some respect.

"Where, where? Mama Tan laughed, the girl in the house was naughty and ignorant, if there was anything that collided with Mama, please don't be surprised. ”

Song Yun said, picked up the tea, drank a few sips, and asked the palace maid beside her to hand over a purse and give it to Mama Tan.

"It's a little meaning, it's not a tribute, and I hope Mama will accept it!"

The purse contained a silver ticket of 1,000 taels of silver, which was the reward she had to pay for Mama Tan from Yingtianfu to teach the rules and etiquette in the Song Jin Palace.

That's a thousand taels of silver!

She is still a little distressed!

The amount of money in his monthly monthly allowance is all that money, except for rewarding his subordinates and filling the shortfall, and there is not much more.

This thousand taels of silver is still her own silver that she deducted from between her teeth.

After the palace maid sent Mama Tan away, Song Yun called a palace maid who was waiting for her and went to the Song Mansion to report the news, telling Father Song and the Zhao family that she had helped Song Jin invite her back, and the rest of the matter would be handed over to Father Song and the Zhao family to deal with.

When Song Yun's palace maid arrived at the Song Mansion, it was already unitary time.

When you leave, it is the moment of unitary.

When the Zhao family got the news, they immediately called Mrs. Li over, preparing to let Mrs. Li clean up the long-abandoned yard next door to Song Jin, and let Mama Tan, who came to the mansion to teach Song Jin rules and etiquette, live.

"Mother Li, in the past two days, you have ordered someone to clean up the yard next to the second girl, that yard has not been inhabited for a long time, and I don't know how much dust it is covered with.

"The upbringing grandmother invited back by the eldest girl has taught many nobles in the palace that they must have their own particularities about food, clothing, housing and transportation."

"After cleaning the yard, I will send someone to the warehouse to pick up a few valuable ornaments sent by Jingdezhen a few years ago, and put them in the house, so as not to let people despise us."

Zhao was worried that Mrs. Li would not be able to remember, so he specially asked the little maid to list the items needed for the new courtyard on a list. asked Mrs. Li to instruct her subordinates to go down to purchase according to the things on this list.

The next day, the sky was bright, and there was a cool wind blowing outside the window.

In Cuiwei Juli, Song Jin had just woken up, and he heard a 'bang bang bang' sound from the yard next door.

It seems that someone accidentally smashed the basin to the ground, and the basin turned around on the ground a few times, making a sound.

Bai He came in with morning porridge, and after waiting for Song Jin to wash and change clothes, he put the white porridge on the round table outside, and Song Jin reluctantly drank a small half bowl of porridge with a few plates of pickles next to him.

"Girl, Mother Li, who was waiting in the lady's yard, came over this morning, saying that the eldest girl had found a nurturing grandmother for the girl, and she would enter the house in two days, so let the girl prepare for these two days."

"The slave maid heard that the nurturing grandmother was an old man in the palace, and she came from Yingtian's side. is always old-fashioned and mean, and there are countless noble palace dependents who have been taught, and it took a lot of effort from the eldest girl to invite her from Yingtian's side."

Bai He said this, and the more Song Jin was afraid of that nurturing grandmother in his heart.

She thinks that she knows the rules and etiquette very well, and she doesn't need any upbringing, but why does Song Yun have to find her a nurturing grandma to torture her?

The upbringing grandmother entered the house, but I was afraid that it would restrain her even more, and she wanted to go out for a walk, but I was afraid that it would not work.

Not to mention going to Siping Street to see the shops.

As soon as Bai He put away the food on the table, Fu Hui took Zeng Xiuniang from the embroidery workshop into the courtyard.

Zeng Xiunianghou was outside the house, and she was not allowed to come in without Song Jin's permission.

"Girl, the Zeng steward of the embroidery workshop came over, saying that something happened to the embroidery workshop, and he didn't dare to work Mrs., so he came over and asked the girl to take an idea."

Song Jin put down the book of "Heavenly Creations" in his hand and put it on the bamboo table.

"What's going on? My mother, who was in charge of the work and didn't want to work, came and asked me for help. ”

Fluff shook her head.

"The slave maid doesn't know, the steward is waiting outside, the slave and maid invite her to come in and explain to the girl!"

Song Jin nodded, and Fu Hui went out of the house and brought in Zeng Xiuniang, who was waiting outside the house.

As soon as she saw Song Jin in the house, Zeng Xiuniang immediately knelt down, and the tears in her eyes seemed to be unstoppable, and she cried loudly.

"Girl, help! Girl, help! A few days ago, the British duchess came to our embroidery workshop and ordered a few summer clothes made of fragrant cloud yarn, so that we could deliver them in a few days. However, the Lingnan merchants who supplied us with Xiangyun yarn said that Lingnan was rainy these days, and the workshop of Xiangyun yarn could not be opened for a long time. ”

"Without Xiangyun yarn, the embroidery workshop would not be able to make the summer clothes ordered by the British duchess. We have sent someone to the British Mansion to explain the situation, but the British Duchess does not want to see us, and the people sent out do not even see us, so they call the little servants of the British Mansion and block them out. ”

"We really have no choice, so we thought about coming to beg the girl, just hoping that the girl can give us ideas!"

Listening to Zeng Xiuniang's crying for a while, Song Jin sighed secretly in his heart.

She hasn't left the house yet, and this matter has found herself, which is really a headache!

Zeng Xiuniang was reluctant to tell the Zhao family, presumably because she was afraid that the Zhao family would blame her.

Knowing that the Xiangyun yarn reserves in the embroidery workshop are not enough, he also privately took over this job of the British government, isn't this self-inflicted?

But now is not the time for her to blame Zeng Xiuniang, after this incident, she will carry out drastic reforms to the embroidery workshop.

Let Fu Hui help Zeng Xiuniang, who was kneeling on the ground, to help her up, Song Jin let her sit on the embroidery stool, wiped the tears on her face, and then said.

"It's not too difficult for us to dye and finish the fragrant cloud yarn by ourselves, but it will take time and effort."

"Now it's still early before the day of delivery to the British government, and it's enough to dye and finish a fragrant cloud yarn."

Zeng Xiuniang's eyes showed joy, it seems that she has found a savior.

"Does the girl have a way to dye and finish the fragrant cloud yarn? The villain has been running an embroidery workshop for so many years, and he has never heard of any embroidery workshop that can dye and finish fragrant cloud yarn. They are all merchants from Lingnan and brought from Lingnan. ”

I don't know the dyeing and finishing process of Xiangyun yarn, who will dye and finish Xiangyun yarn?

Even if you know the dyeing and finishing process of Xiangyun yarn, if there is a mistake in one process, you can't dye and finish Xiangyun yarn.

Fortunately, when Song Jin went to work at the Jinling Yunjin Research Institute, he once went to Shunde, Guangdong, where he followed the local merchants who dyed and finished Xiangyun yarn and learned the dyeing and finishing of Xiangyun yarn.

Dyeing and finishing Xiangyun yarn is not a difficult task for her, but the difficult thing is the weaving of Xiangyun yarn and the site of dyeing and finishing Xiangyun yarn.

Dyeing and finishing Xiangyun yarn requires a large piece of grass close to the river, dyeing and finishing Xiangyun yarn, it needs to be exposed to the sun for a few days, repeated dyeing and finishing, until the Xiangyun yarn becomes light and breathable.

However, even if the above problems are solved, the top priority is the preparation of dioscorea water.

The quality of the potato water is the key to determining the finished product of Xiangyun yarn, which is generally prepared by the master with a secret recipe.

But now, where to find dioscorea, where to find a master who can make dioscorea water?

Seeing that Song Jin's face was embarrassed, Zeng Xiuniang thought that she was not sure, so she said.

"Girl, the survival of the embroidery workshop depends on these Xiangyun yarns, if we can't make the summer clothes of Xiangyun yarn by then, the British government will blame it, and it will be difficult to escape the blame."
