The Queen Mother did breathe this for Yan Peng.

However, instead of prolonging Lu Ming's garrison time in Youzhou, he sent an errand to Lu Ming and ordered him to be responsible for escorting a batch of artillery and gunpowder to Liao.

At the same time, the Zhu family also received a task to inspect western Sichuan for a year, where it borders with Tubo and Dali, and there have been conflicts from time to time in recent years.

Because Li Cong promulgated these two decrees in the court, although Zhu Tao and Lu Duan knew that the emperor was speaking for Yan Peng and for the dead Lu Yuan, these two people couldn't say anything to refuse, because refusal meant resisting the will.

For this reason, Zhu Tao specially went to the prison to visit Zhu, it is reported that the brother and sister had a big quarrel, Zhu Tao left with his sleeves brushed up, and Zhu collapsed on the ground, and then, Zhu asked to see Lu Duan, but Lu Duan refused.

Yan Yan was very busy during this time, and after the production process of soap base was basically understood, she began to select a site outside the city to build a factory, and at the same time needed to customize some equipment, for this reason, she did not go to Lu's house or enter the palace for a while.

Two days before the Dragon Boat Festival, Yan Yan chose a few pieces of soap, plus a few towels and two sets of flower and fruit pattern begonia style gold painting boxes from the Wa Kingdom, planning to enter the palace to see the Queen Mother and the Queen.

According to the usual practice, Yan Yan still went to Cining Palace first, and when she saw Yan Yan, the Queen Mother seemed a little surprised, but she also asked her what she was busy with recently.

"Back to the Queen Mother, this is the fragrant pancreas I recently developed, do you like it?" Yan Yan took out two pieces of soap with different scents and handed them over, one was osmanthus and the other was jasmine.

The Queen Mother took it and put it under her nose and smelled it, "This is the smell of osmanthus, this is the smell of jasmine, not bad, not bad, much better than what I use every day." ”

"It's much better to have the Queen Mother's words, I'm going to open a shop like this, if the Queen Mother says it's good, this thing will definitely sell well." By the way, when it comes to good sales, I sent money tickets to the Queen Mother. After Yan Yan finished speaking, he took out a few money tickets from his purse, which was the dividend of the cake shop.

"That's it, I'm an old man, where can I have money?" The Queen Mother pushed the money ticket back.

She also has an account in her heart, over the years, Yan Yan has given her more than 20,000 money tickets in the name of dividends, not to mention those new things, there are all kinds of food and use, and almost all the new products that Yan Yan has tested are sent to Cining Palace first.

Therefore, after being reprimanded by Old Man Yun that day, she also began to reflect on herself, so seeing that Yan Yan hadn't come to the palace to visit her these days, she thought that Yan Yan was angry with her.

"How can there be no place to spend money? You have so many children and grandchildren, as well as the nephews and nephews and grandchildren of these cousins, who is pleasing to the eye, and does not reward him for anything, the other party is happy, and you are also happy, why not? Yan Yan gave the money ticket to Aunt Rong, and then opened the gold-painted box.

"This is from the Wa Kingdom, I have found a lot of books these days, it is said that this craft was passed to them during the Tang Dynasty, but they have spent a lot of thought in this area over the years, it seems to surpass us, the Queen Mother, you see, what do you think of this painting and carving, and this lacquer art?" Yan Yan sent the box to the Queen Mother.

When the Queen Mother heard that it was from the Wa Kingdom and the skills passed down from the Tang Dynasty, she also picked up the box and studied it carefully.

"It's really good, but why doesn't Da Zhou have such craftsmanship, and can't take out a thing like this in the palace?" The Queen Mother took a closer look in a circle and asked with regret.

"There should still be such craftsmen among the people, right? It's just that we have been busy with the war all these years, and we have not paid attention to this skill, I asked Master Yang, and he said that he had seen this kind of gold-painted object in his master's house, and it was very old. Yan Yan wanted to pick up this skill, so he did some homework.

"You kid, I heard that you can't spend the money you earn, why are you so worried about labor?" The Queen Mother has not understood this question very well and asked.

Not to mention anything else, before Lu You became the marquis, the emperor specially rewarded him with 10,000 acres of land, and after the marquis, he gave him 7,000 acres of Yongye field, plus a few Zhuangzi before Yan Yan, she has more than 100,000 acres of land alone, not counting her shops, cake shop, restaurant, embroidery village, silk village, by the way, as well as the textile factory and fleet, casually estimated, Yan Yan's annual income is at least more than 100,000 yuan, how much can she spend on a small family?

"Queen Mother, this is not a matter of silver, it is a kind of inheritance, this craft is originally our Han people, and the things left by our ancestors cannot be lost in our hands. Also, if I get this craft back, I can also use these things to earn money from Westerners, and with silver, we can make more artillery and gunpowder, and we can afford to raise more troops, so that we will not be bullied by foreigners. Yan Yan explained.

The Queen Mother learned that Yan Yan did these things not only for herself, but also for Da Zhou, to be exact, for her son, thinking of her many grievances against Yan Yan before, the Queen Mother's eyes turned red, and she took the initiative to take Yan Yan's hand, "You are a good boy, I wronged you before, it is rare that you are willing to come to see me regardless of your past suspicions... ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, I was indeed a little busy during this period, it was my fault, I won't be in the future, this shop is about to open, and I won't have anything to do after it opens, and I'll go into the palace to bother you like before, and I heard that the peaches in my Zhuangzi are almost ripe, and I asked the Queen Mother and my uncle and aunt to go to the Zhuangzi another day, I heard that they also raised a lot of hares, pheasants and fawns or something, what the Queen Mother wants to eat, I asked them to prepare in advance." Yan Yan interrupted the other party's words and changed the subject.

She didn't dare to let the Queen Mother apologize to her and admit her mistakes, maybe she regretted it when she didn't tie it right, and it would be troublesome to find fault with her again.

Besides, after all, the old man's age and identity are here, and Yan Yan doesn't want to worry too much about those things in the past, in the end, this old lady is also a little unclear because she keeps her promises too much, and she is not really a bad person.

"Okay, I haven't been out for a while now." When the Queen Mother heard that she was going out with her brother and sister-in-law, she happily agreed.

Next, the topic of the two was much easier, the Queen Mother first asked about Lu Jin and Lu Chu's studies, and asked Lu Jin why he didn't go into the palace to accompany him, Yan Yan found a reason to accompany Lu Chu to study, saying that Lu Chu was also enlightened and invited a gentleman to be at home.

Then, the Queen Mother talked about the new things in the palace, and Yan Yan also knew that Li Sui's wife was pregnant, and since Li Sui's wife was pregnant, the Queen Mother asked Yan Yan if she could know that the new mother-in-law Wang Jie was pregnant.
