Chapter 648, the main topic
On the first day of the lunar month, Yan Yan entered the palace with a batch of new socks and handkerchiefs, and gave them to several masters in the palace as New Year's gifts, which were praised by everyone.
Entering the palace this time, Yan Yan also confirmed one thing, she was pregnant again.
This surprise is not small, because Yi Luyou means that she has both children and daughters, and she doesn't want to have any more children, but Yan Yan feels that a boy is a little thinner, and she doesn't allow her husband to take a concubine, so she wants to have another son, so she is still young, and the child born at this age should be smarter and healthier.
She is not patriarchal, but respects the rules of survival in this time and space, and doesn't want Lu Chu to have any accidents in the future, and this furniture is cheaper for outsiders.
But Lu You didn't think so, he had always had lingering feelings about Yan Yan's premature birth and dystocia when he gave birth to Lu Jin, so he didn't want Yan Yan to go through this kind of ordeal again.
Originally, Yan Yan himself thought so, but when he was born Lu Chu, he was very smooth, and then he saw that the crown princess gave birth to two in a row, so Yan Yan also wanted to fight for a third child, but it happened that Lu You was pregnant last time she came back, and it seems that God has fulfilled her.
Therefore, after returning from the palace, Yan Yan shared the good news with the people around him,
Everyone knew that they were happy for her, and in order to let her raise the baby with peace of mind, Mrs. Meng didn't even go back to the Laba Festival, and stayed in Mingyuan to help Yan Yan take care of housekeeping.
Fortunately, the production of socks and handkerchiefs was on the right track, and Yan Yan officially launched it in his embroidery village and cloth shop on the day of Laba.
The style and color of socks are relatively rich, divided into men and women, and divided into sizes, because there is no printing technology, Yan Yan uses different colors of yarn to weave stripes or geometric shapes, although it can not achieve the effect of Yan Yan's previous life, it can be more suitable than the socks of this time and space, and it looks much better, and the color is also bright, so it was sold out quickly once it was listed, and because of the small number, Yan Yan sold it at a high price of five hundred dollars a pair, and the normal five hundred copper plates can buy a cotton cloth or a fine linen cloth, and a cloth has twenty feet.
Handkerchiefs are square and elongated, which can be used as handkerchiefs and handkerchiefs, and are also geometric shapes with lines of different colors, which are more popular with readers, and the color is also biased towards dark blue and light gray for men, and some also have a little elegant color.
Zhou Wan only understood that Yan Yan's cotton came in handy after seeing these cotton socks and handkerchiefs, and only then did she understand why the amount of cotton purchased this year was far lower than her expectations, so after thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Wan entered the Ming Garden by taking the opportunity of giving New Year's gifts.
This day happened to be the twenty-second day of the lunar month, the day before the new year, Yan Yan heard the report of the subordinates, but he quickly guessed Zhou Wan's intention, and ordered someone to bring the person directly into the second gate.
When Zhou Wan entered the door, Yan Yan also greeted her with the hand holding the green glaze, and seeing that Zhou Wan's stomach was already pregnant, Yan Yan smiled, "You can send anyone to come, why bother to run this trip by yourself, if there is really a mistake, I can't afford to pay for it." ”
"My sister laughed, I'm not so squeamish, besides, I also have a rare opportunity to see my sister, I can't hope to come, how can I give it to others? It's my sister, I heard that my sister has it, and it's not been more than three months, so my sister should be more careful. Zhou Wan returned Yan Yan with a big smile.
"It's only been a few days since the news reached you?" Yan Yan smiled faintly.
Zhou Wan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then said with a smile: "Madame went to the palace to give a New Year's gift, and I listened to what the people in the palace said, it is a good thing that my sister is pregnant, and Madame also said that she wanted to come to see you, she said that the most sorry person is you, and she will not have the face to see your mother in the future." ”
Yan Yan snorted slightly when he heard this, and then instructed the maid beside Zhou Wan: "Good life to support your master, don't fall again." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, seeing Zhou Wan looking at her in amazement, Yan Yan didn't hide it from her, "Last time I accompanied my husband to visit my grandmother, I knew that you fell and it was very dangerous, I wanted to visit, but I heard that you lived with your wife, so I didn't have much to do." ”
Zhou Wan suddenly smiled and said: "It turned out to be that time, I am ashamed to say that time, I wanted to meet my sister and brother-in-law that time, but this happened, and I couldn't explain it to my sister, and I ask my sister to forgive me if I was rude." ”
"That's the way to go, who can be without an accident? If I really want to talk about it, I have rudeness too. Yan Yan replied with a smile.
While talking, everyone entered the house, because there was a fireplace in the hall and the temperature was not low, so Yan Yan did not lead people to the next room, and sat down in the hall.
As soon as she sat down, Qingxiu came out with two cups of hot milk and sent them to Zhou Wan, asking Zhou Wan to pick one cup first, and the rest of the cup was sent to Yan Yan.
"Pregnant women can't drink tea, drink some milk to warm up." Yan Yan raised his cup and drank half a cup by himself.
"It's still my sister's life, there is everything in the Zhuangzi, it's convenient to eat whatever you want to use, I heard that my sister's cake shop sells milk and goat milk again, what are the benefits of this milk and goat milk?" Zhou Wan took two sips of milk and asked.
"There are many benefits, older people can't sleep at night, drinking a glass of milk before going to bed can calm the nerves, and the children in the belly of pregnant women can be smarter and healthier, and children can grow taller by drinking milk, and the book says that those nomads grew up eating meat and drinking milk, so they are generally taller and stronger than the Han people." Yan Yan explained.
Since the barren mountains that the emperor gave her were also cleaned up to breed cattle and sheep, there was a surplus of milk and goat's milk from several Zhuangzi, Yan Yan began to sell milk and goat's milk, at first everyone did not know this, and later learned that the queen mother had to drink a cup almost every night before going to bed, and the concubines in the palace were also clamoring to drink, so the purchase in the palace simply ordered two large barrels from Yan Yan every day.
The news spread, and the big families in the capital began to follow suit, and Yan Yan's milk and goat milk were sold.
"My sister knows a lot, and the socks and hand towels that my sister's family recently pushed out were also researched by my sister, right?" Zhou Wan turned to the topic.
"By the way, when it comes to this, I was about to tell you, in fact, I have wanted to do this for a long time, since I had a child, I found that the socks we wore were really not comfortable with the feet, but it would be cotton in short supply, and it needed to be sent to the front, so I didn't think about it. No, this year's war is over, but it happens that I have been idle recently, so I pondered about it, and sent a few finished products to a few masters in the palace that day, and saw that everyone liked it so much, I thought that this business can be done, but it happens that it does not conflict with the cotton cloth business you do. Yan Yan explained.
Zhou Wan opened her mouth, she wanted to say that it was not a conflict, but she couldn't collect cotton, how to do this cotton business?
