Chapter 365: New Machine
Qin Mingyue then asked the He family brothers. He Jinlan hurriedly said that there was nothing to do. However, He Jinfang thought for a while and said, "Master National Teacher." Since you said that you want to sell makeup flowers and silk weaving methods. Then I think it would be good to buy all the four provinces in the south of the Yangtze River at that time? Of course, I won't give a low price, because the weaving method of these satins, the printing formula and so on, have always been the highest money saved by Jiangnan Si. I won't let the National Teacher suffer. ”
Qin Mingyue glanced at He Jinfang appreciatively. This He Jinfang has always been a kind and decisive person, and he just told him that he had a decision: "Don't say anything about the loss." As a national teacher, can I still see it in my eyes with a little silver? Besides, aren't we just a family? ”
"By the way, after Qi Yang handed over the recipe for printing silk satin, I asked him to get the gold satin weaving thing, and now he has made the gold satin and feather satin, and some of them have been sold in the capital, and the price is high, and even the wedding dress I got married used part of the woven gold satin and feather satin. Jinfang, if you hand over the makeup and silk in the future, you will only deal in the silk of the four provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, but it will save a lot of effort. I have something new for you here. ”
He Jinfang was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "What is it?" The things in the hands of the national teachers have always been good. ”
Qin Mingyue smiled, handed over a booklet casually and said, "This is what I just asked the craftsmen to sort out. It is a new type of loom that makes muslin cloth, and with this loom it is not only possible to make muslin cloth that is not as tough and delicate as ordinary satin, but also to weave very quickly. ”
He Jinfang just looked at it a few times and praised it loudly: "Wonderful, wonderful." It's a truly ingenious design. ”
Qin Mingyue said: "Okay, you take it back and study it, if there is nothing to do, just retreat." If you have something, you can hand me a note at any time. ”
Qi Yang and the He brothers hurriedly took out their own small clips, and there was also a booklet that said: "Congratulations to the National Teacher on his new marriage, this is a little bit of our heart, please smile." ”
Qin Mingyue nodded, let them put it down and said, "These few days are when I put on makeup, and even people who are far away in Nanyue have come to add makeup throughout the Great Zhou. There is no way, am I a national teacher? I understand that, too. So, I didn't say no. However, I am only going to accept a few of my close relatives and friends, the rewards from the palace, the rewards from the teachers and brothers, and a few of you from my own retainers. I will take the rest, but after that, I will have people organize it into a booklet, which I will sell directly for silver, which will be used to build the Keats Monastery in various parts of the Great Zhou. ”
Qi Yang and the He family brothers hurriedly said: "The National Teacher is merciful. The National Teacher's Gao Feng Liang Festival. ”
Qi Yang also said: "Master Guoshi, your Keats Institute is of immeasurable merit. For this, I also discussed with Jinfang, and the two of us, I took out another 20,000 taels of silver, and Jinfang took out 50,000 taels of silver, and also voted for the Keats Academy, which can be regarded as accumulating virtue and doing good deeds for us. ”
Qin Mingyue nodded: "Accumulating virtue and doing good deeds must always be remembered." That's fine. Remember, no matter how much money you earn, you have to spend it. Only by always having a good heart can we be worthy of heaven and earth, and only then can we replenish ourselves. ”
Qi Yang and the He brothers were busy.
When they retired, Qin Mingyue said, "What time is it?" Don't I still want to see Zeng Yukun and a few of them? ”
Dongqu smiled and said: "Master Guoshi, these two days are your big day to add makeup after all, although everything is presided over by the Duchess of Guo, but you can't always show up." Although Lord Zeng and the others have all come, the slave and maid have the courage to persuade them, so let's postpone it until tomorrow. Today, let's go back to Piaoxiang Courtyard first, you must know that even the Duchess of Mingli has already reached the time for a meal. It's not good to wait any longer. ”
Qin Mingyue smiled and said, "Well, how long has my sister-in-law been here?" That's really rude. Okay, tell Zeng Yukun and them, see them tomorrow. Isn't this a time of late, too busy? The star pickers, the court, a bunch of things, I still have things to tell our people, and it won't work if you don't see them in person. Okay, I won't talk about it, let's go to Piaoxiangyuan quickly. ”
For Mrs. Yang, Qin Mingyue has always been respectful. She hurriedly followed the winter song and went to the fragrance courtyard.
As soon as I entered the Piaoxiang Courtyard, I saw that there were sixty large boxes neatly stacked in the courtyard, and almost every box contained a few things, including pamphlets, and more gold and silver jewelry and utensils, calligraphy and painting antiques. It's dazzling. Qin Mingyue couldn't help frowning slightly.
However, in the blink of an eye, she wanted to open it. The custom of the Great Zhou is like this, a few days before the marriage of the girl, a large or small box will be put out for relatives and friends to add makeup. Some added some cloth and satin, while others bought a few pieces of jewelry. It is used as the bottom of the pressure box.
However, it is estimated that there are not many large boxes like Qin Mingyue who have put out sixty large boxes at once throughout the ages. You know, the most noble royal princess is just a symbolic place of two or three boxes there. Besides, not everyone can go in and add makeup to the palace.
But Qin Mingyue is different. Her status is noble enough, it can be said that she is even more noble than ordinary princes and princesses. This is the leader of the Daomen, the national teacher of the Star Tower. She is in charge of the Daomen, and she is also in charge of some government affairs in the court, and she is really high and powerful.
However, she is not a princess in the deep palace, she is a girl of the Qin family of the Duke of Liguo, so when she gets married, as long as she can get the Duke of Liguo, according to the etiquette, she can add makeup. Now it's okay, up to the princes and nobles, down to the wealthy businessmen from all over the country, they are all rushing to add makeup to Qin Mingyue.
Qin Mingyue was disrespectful, there was no way, she simply told her sister-in-law to put more boxes, and they could buy whatever they wanted. Anyway, these things, except for some of the things given by her close relatives, she will sell the rest and send them to the Keats Academy, which should be to accumulate virtue and do good deeds for everyone. After making up her mind, Qin Mingyue accepted it generously.
At this moment, I saw that this was only the first day, and the sixty boxes had already been put in, and at this rate, I was afraid that when it came to the first day, these sixty boxes might not be enough.
Qin Mingyue thought as she walked, at this time, everyone had already seen her come in with the maids, and they were all busy welcoming them out. At the front are Mrs. Yin and Zeng Yutong, who is holding Mrs. Yin to greet everyone, and next to them is the contemporary Duchess of Mingli, Yang, the eldest daughter-in-law of Shen Tianshi.
