Chapter Ninety-Seven: Making Wedding Clothes for Others

Hundreds of elite hussars of Lingzhou escorted the troika into Liangzhou City, led by Han Laoshan, the deputy general of Lingzhou, and then several horses to watch his armor, and now in Beiliang can be described as the real power of the county lieutenant, which makes the people in the city along the way who witnessed this scene are amazed, and I don't know who or what is worthy of the Lingzhou military circles to be so excited, and suddenly "hollowed out" a small half of the Lingzhou general-level military attaché. Among the horse team, there is a horse that stands out from the crowd, to be precise, there is a suspicion of chickens standing among the cranes, in a large area of big horse cool knives and iron-armored sharp spears, only this person is wearing a civilian official uniform, he escorts the first carriage, from time to time glances at the car window, there is quite a sense of self-satisfaction in his eyes, which is in response to Xu Weixiong's half-sentence in his childhood, "his eyebrows are hanging". He is Wang Luting, the leader of the Golden Wisp Weaving Bureau, and this time he rushed to the Beiliang Palace, not because of the weaving of adults and villains, but because the young head of the Zijin Wang family has indeed made a beautiful political achievement, and he is worthy of Han Laoshan, the deputy general of Lingzhou, as his saddle before and after the horse. In the troika, there was no gold and silver rarity, nor was it to pay tribute to Qingliang Mountain, but three pieces of clothing.

After the Golden Wisp Weaving Bureau changed its owner, Wang Luting devoted himself to grasping this matter, in the other territories of the Liyang Dynasty, the position of the weaving official in the final analysis, is nothing more than a secret agent with rank, is the eyes and ears of the emperor Xià placed in the place, and has the privilege of folding 500 miles to expedite the imperial study. Wang Luting is the weaver who was picked up by Beiliang after Li Xifeng returned to his hometown, and he has nothing to do with the majestic Zhao family emperor. In addition to closely monitoring the forces in the rivers and lakes of Lingzhou, especially the rise of the Ichthyosaurus Gang, Wang Luting is more of a literal weaver and does the work of sewing clothes.

In the carriage headed by the head, there were three women, the oldest of whom was only in her thirties, and there was a small red sandalwood gilt chest in the carriage. The youngest woman has a graceful posture and outstanding appearance, although she wears the weaving bureau customized ice texture women's uniforms, but the details can be seen everywhere, the face is suitable for the fish Meizi, the thrush with the stone is purchased from the fine Niangzhai known as the Lingzhou women's gold cave, and the wrist is tied with a rock-shaped carved fish jade pendant that means auspicious, this woman knows at a glance that the official eunuch portal with a good family background, and the rest of the two women with few accessories are compared with it, and the difference is 108,000 miles. But this rich woman has always talked and laughed at the eldest daughter weaver, but she is the most difficult for the woman surnamed Xu, of course, those tricks are all wrists under the table, and they will definitely not annoy others. The young woman didn't know why she was so hostile to the little widow from a poor background, anyway, it was uncomfortable to look at, probably because the little lady of the Xu family's breasts were even more "not flat" than herself , Maybe she is obviously a vulgar woman in the countryside who has a son who drags oil bottles, and she is even more noticed by men than herself in the Golden Wisp Weaving Bureau, just like a henchman of the weaving official, he fell in love with this little woman at first sight, and poured ecstasy soup, and even pushed the family to talk about a family affair that had already been agreed, threatening not to marry the lady of the Xu family, and said that as long as the woman nodded, he was willing to marry the media, and he didn't mind her past, and even regarded her son as his own. Not only this person who has read the sage book for 20 years, but also a military general in Lingzhou who is about to become a lieutenant in his early thirties, has a bright future, and the guests at home are either county guards or generals, what kind of good match can not be found, and it is also shocking, which makes the young woman in the carriage can't help but be indignant at the injustice of the world, the fox spirit surnamed Xu is full of rustic atmosphere, and his appearance is brilliant, but it is not how amazing, is it really a monster who came out of the deep mountains and forests, otherwise how can those men be crazy for it?

She glanced at the woman who was slandered as a fox, and then smiled at the older woman and said: "Sister Song, when I was a child, I heard my father say that he once went to Qingliang Mountain, and at that time he still followed Liu Junshou hand in hand, to participate in the birthday banquet of our little prince, and my father also said that the general also personally stepped down from the position and drank a glass of green ant wine with them." ”

The elderly woman echoed with a smile: "Zao'er, who doesn't know that your father is a god of wealth in Lingzhou, and it is also an ironing thing to go to the palace." Zao'er, you are very well-written, this time I went to Qingliang Mountain with Lord Wang, maybe I was caught by the prince at a glance, and I accidentally became a batch of red female bachelors in Wutong Academy, don't forget Sister Song when the time comes. ”

The young woman who was nicknamed Zao'er covered her mouth and smiled: "By my sister's auspicious words, the female bachelor really doesn't dare to hope that Zao'er can be a little maid for that prince." ”

Xu Qing, the little lady who left her hometown and entered the weaving bureau, looked shallow and indifferent, and she was unwilling to mix with the two girls next to her. In fact, she still doesn't know how to be selected by the Youzhou government to choose her own female red embroiderer, and more than a dozen ingenious women in other states and counties, and she went to the rich Lingzhou that has the reputation of being stuffed with small Jiangnan, she can only explain that she was in her hometown of Baomaguan at that time, and she had to sew some daughter's personal small objects for the women of the Youzhou official family in her spare time, so she had this inexplicable opportunity. In fact, she was reluctant to go to Lingzhou at first, her son Yousong is still young, and the family has less land, but it can't be delayed, the countryside has always been like this, less sweat is less harvest, God's eyes are very poisonous. But the village of the village of the Lord Li Zheng spoke, said that this is a great honor for Zhaojia Village, as long as she goes to the Lingzhou Weaving Bureau, the village not only exempts the right pine from the private school fees, but also asks the neighbors to help take care of her family's crops, the right pine is able to live in the teacher Mr. Teaching, this is a great thing, even so there is no worries, Xu Qing still asked the right song, the child is sensible, although he is in love with his mother in his heart, but patted his chest and said it's okay, his mother went to Lingzhou, he can take care of himself, and promise that when his mother comes back, he can put it"Three hundred thousand" are all memorized.

Xu Xiaoniang thought of her sensible child, her heart was warm, and the corners of her mouth curled.

Nazao squinted and saw the smile on the corner of this woman's mouth, and hated in her heart, this fox looks like that, but this kind of silent inner charm can seduce a man's heart the most. It's not that she doesn't want to learn, but she can't learn, and in the end she can only give up.

Zao'er couldn't see it, and said to the mediocre-looking Sister Song with a smug face: "Sister Song, the three python robes and phoenix robes created by the Weaving Bureau, the python robes are naturally for our princes to wear, and the other two are for the two princesses." My father once had a drink with a big steward of the Lu family, that is, at the beginning of the year, the steward privately said that their young lady may not be able to be a concubine, but one is three sides have always been a long-standing rule of the Liyang Sect, even if the Lu family is not a concubine, she is also the first of the side concubines, and the one of the Chunshenhu Wang family has to be ranked behind. Sister Song, you've heard this before, but don't tell anyone, there will be big trouble. ”

The old woman knew that no matter how small the matter of the "emperor's family" was, it was more important than the monstrous events of the common people, how could she dare to chew her tongue with this kind of secret, and she was shocked when she heard it, and became more and more respectful to this girl who was still her subordinate, thinking that she would occasionally hold a shelf in front of her before, should this trip to the palace be made up for with a dim sum eye? The specifications of the Golden Thread Weaving Bureau are roughly the same as those of the Liyang Dynasty, and the three major workshops are the same except for the Silk Machine Room, the other two are the same, and she is registered in the Weaving Bureau of the official craftsmen and Xu Qing, the recruited temporary households, a total of more than 600 people, and there are more than 400 looms. The chief weaver Wang Luting is said to be a big celebrity in front of King Xinliang, and she doesn't know whether it's true or not, but the big people on both sides of the Lingzhou local yamen and the Fish Dragon Gang didn't dare not sell a little face to Lord Wang, so that the weaving bureau in Lingzhou is a qiē affair left and right, which makes her, the little female official of the silk workshop, also feel honored, and no longer like Li Xifeng in charge of the weaving bureau in the past, her father does not love her mother, and she bows her head when she meets anyone.

The reason why she didn't follow Nazao to reject the foreign woman Xu Qing was that she hid a secret in her heart, she once saw Lord Weaving Wang reprimanding others in a secluded place from afar, you must know that the person who was scolded was Lord Duwei, who held the military power of half a county, and the seed brother with a good reputation was slightly older than Lord Wang, and at first she wanted to refute a few words, but she didn't know what Lord Wang said, she saw that Lord Duwei's face changed drastically. When Lord Duwei, who usually walks in a wolf's way, leaves, she looks like a frosted eggplant, and she loses her soul. Since then, Du Wei has never come to the Golden Wisp Weaving Bureau to pester the little widow Xu Qing. She secretly guessed that the little woman Xu Qing was either the lucky one who was hidden by the weaving Wang Luting himself, or she was confined by a certain Lingzhou behind-the-scenes master, otherwise she really couldn't understand who had this ability to make some rural women from the border of Youzhou send them to the hot Lingzhou Weaving Bureau, and also received a unique double salary, the key is that Xu Qing never knew the truth, and always thought that she and other female craftsmen were treated in general.

Xu Qing, who was sitting in a precarious position, took advantage of the two women's chat, secretly stretched out her fingers, and her fingertips gently crossed the sandalwood box.

She has never understood the way of the world.

She thought that when she had completed her task this time, she mustered up the courage to speak to the master of her silk workshop, and asked her if she could take leave and go home to see the children and see how the harvest was in the fields.

Xu Qing didn't think of the clothes in the three boxes for no reason, it was really jaw-dropping, the chief master said to Wang Weaving when he finished it, according to the normal process and manpower of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, not to mention three, just the python robe that the King of Beiliang wanted to wear, it would take three years, and it may not be better than the Golden Wisp Weaving Bureau. Xu Qing has no doubts about this, she participated in it with her own hands, and knows the hardships better than anyone else, dozens of people in each process, from the chief master to the lowest craftsman, almost everyone has to work for more than eight hours every day, so the weaving bureau is brightly lit every night, and her hand can't remember being punctured hundreds of times. The python robe from the hands of everyone who painted the dragon has nine sketches, the frames are lifelike, which is daunting, she has only seen the one that was selected, and she did not dare to look at the python dragon on the painting, only felt that it would be from the sketch to swallow the clouds and spit out the fog. Xu Qing is one of the many flower pickers, this python robe is the most precious makeup flower in the cloud brocade, unprecedented reached 1,800 pieces of the appalling number of flowers, and even if you pick the wrong one, it will fall short, to start all over again, there was a famous female craftsman and Xu Qing had a good relationship, just because of the wrong one, almost on the spot to hear the news rushed to Wang Weaving on the spot to kill someone on the spot, Xu Qing did not care about interceding for her, just did his best to obey the fate of heaven, never thought that the female craftsman unexpectedly escaped, but also lost the identity of the official craftsman, was expelled from the Golden Thread Weaving Bureau。

Three pieces of clothes, the ingenious Xu Qing was fortunate to make an exception to help pick flowers, especially the black embroidered gold python robe, the golden python eighteen, after the formation, it is really rare in the world. Even a village woman like Xu Qing, who thinks she is lonely and unheard, dares to say that except for the emperor in Tai'an City, who sits on the dragon chair, there is no one in the world whose python robe can be compared.

As for the two "wedding dresses" of the future Princess Beiliang, Xu Qing didn't feel too much, and he never swayed his heart when he looked at it like Zao'er, thinking about how good it would be if he wore it.

This horse captain drove straight in, came to the foot of Qingliang Mountain, Wang Luting was relieved, this time the weaving bureau entourage has more than 20 people, but not everyone has the luck to step into the palace to gain knowledge. Troika, three boxes, three clothes, each car has three female craftsmen guarding the red sandalwood box, Wang Luting has long been prepared, there can only be one woman on each car for the two future princesses of the Beiliang King and Lu Wang respectively "tried on", the python robe is undoubtedly the most important, the female craftsman named Situ Huazao, her father used countless favors and a full six thousand taels of silver to ask for a chief master, Wang Luting sneered at the corner of his mouth, with this he wanted to dress the king of Beiliang?

After Wang Luting dismounted, who was responsible for carrying the box into the house after the roll call, the two women who were in the point were so excited that they immediately burst into tears, their family background is innocent, their appearance is beautiful, and their temperament has always been honest and responsible. Then on the side of the first carriage, Wang Luting, the weaver, looked at the little-known Xu Qing with deep meaning, stretched out his finger and pointed at her, and didn't say anything more. Xu Qing was stunned on the spot, she always thought that it was Situ Huazao, the proud daughter of the sky, who went to try on dressing the young King of Beiliang, but she didn't expect it to be herself, and she was at a loss for a while. Wang Luting frowned, if it was someone else, he would have been furious, but since it was her, Wang Luting had a little more patience for the first time, glanced at Xu Qing lightly, and stopped to wait for her.

The reason why this is so is that Wang Luting knows better, the origin of this little widow is very simple, but the man behind the scenes who single-handedly sent her into his Wang Luting territory is Wang Luting, who is the leader of his golden thread weaving, and he can't afford to provoke it!

Youzhou General Huangfu scales!

This master is the henchman who can really be called the king of Beiliang.

Compared with this famous ruthless man in Beiliang, whether it is the fire of public cultivation or the ruthless Cheng dù, he is willing to bow down.

Wang Luting always thought that the little woman in Rouge County was the woman in the Huangfu scale.

So he always did not hesitate to pinch his nose to treat him politely.

Wang Luting naturally didn't know that the Youzhou general saw this little widow, and he didn't dare to make the slightest abruptness.

Xu Qing stiffened, holding the not heavy red sandalwood box, and followed everyone into the palace in a daze.

Along the way, Xu Qing forgot to take a look at the world-moving Tingchao Lake. In the past, in the weaving bureau, people often talked about the lake, and they would be full of longing, and they used hearsay to exaggerate to describe the scene of thousands of carp tumbling in the lake.

Wang Luting slowly climbed the mountain and first delivered two boxes to the doors of the two Yajing courtyards.

Finally, under the leadership of the great butler, he walked to a higher and extremely inconspicuous courtyard.

It's not Ochiwon.

It turned out to be the residence of Xu Xiao, the old king of Liang!

Rao is tenacious Wang Luting was also taken aback.

Wang Luting Chang exhaled and whispered: "Xu Qing, be smart, be natural, if you are really nervous, I can let you stay outside the courtyard for a while, and then go in when your hands and feet are not stiff." ”

Xu Qing's face turned pale, holding the box, and when the weaving master said this, he trembled more and more, and there were vague signs of crying.

The one in it, but the king of Beiliang! She has never even seen such a big official as a county magistrate once in her life, can she not be nervous?

Wang Luting looked at her cramped and uneasy, a little annoyed, he knew that he should have let the woman Situ Huazao come to hold the box, but the woman was not too ambitious, and her courage was not small, so she would definitely not be so timid. As for her restlessness, what is it in this palace with two kings with different surnames from the Liyang Dynasty, father and son?

The chief housekeeper of the palace who led the way was still smiling, and he didn't even have the slightest intention of urging him, but Wang Luting was familiar with the world, and he knew very well that he was miserable by this Xu Qinglian, and if he wanted to enter Qingliang Mountain again in the future, unless he was summoned by the King of Beiliang, I am afraid it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

The big housekeeper wouldn't bother with that woman, but in the heart of this well-deserved Beiliang bigwig, as Wang Luting expected, he had some bad feelings towards Wang Luting's Zijin Wang clan and the entire Golden Wisp Weaving Bureau.

Wang Luting looked at the panic that Xu Qing did not decrease but increased, and sighed in his heart.

The chief housekeeper squinted and glanced at the young weaver, then turned his head and smiled at the woman with a warm smile: "Girl, it's okay, our prince is the best person in the world to speak, don't worry about going in, don't worry if you do something wrong." If the prince says something serious to you, after you come out, I will give you ten taels of silver, and if the prince is really as I said, so good at talking and talking, you have to give me ten taels of silver, girl?"

Xu Qing finally relaxed, biting his lip and nodding, he was no longer so confused about where to put his hands and feet.

The chief butler smiled slightly, helped push open the courtyard door, and waited for her to cross the threshold, and then gently covered it.

Then, Xu Qing saw the back of a young man, standing alone under a loquat tree that was still green in autumn.

The loquat tree is lonely, and he is lonely.

Xu Qing was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes, thinking that he was dazzled, but after blinking hard, he still felt incredible.

How can his figure be so similar to that Gongzi who passed through the Fallen Horse Pass twice?

The man turned around, and Xu Qing was immediately relieved, but when she saw his eyes, she was worried again.

The appearance is not a person, but the eyes and eyes are too similar.

Xu Qing was stunned.

knew that the unattainable young vassal king in front of her was destined to be that person, but at this moment, she thought of that person very inappropriately, and really missed him.

The little lady Xu Qing knew that she shouldn't be like this, but she was like this.

Xu Fengnian was actually stunned for a moment, but quickly figured out the reason, and it was a superfluous move by the emperor's scale. But at this point, he didn't want to say anything more.

walked up to her, took the box, and said indifferently: "This king can dress himself, you wait in the courtyard, leave after a stick of incense, and say to Wang Luting outside the door, this king said, the python robe is good." Also, let him not leave the palace in a hurry. ”

Xu Qing nodded blankly, not knowing if he had listened to it.

Xu Fengnian turned around and smiled.

As he walked up the steps, a timid but certainly bold shout suddenly came from behind him: "Young Master Xu?"

He didn't stop.

Her face was flushed, and she was even more sweaty, a few strands of sideburns stuck to her cheeks, and she raised her arm and wiped it secretly.

She smiled happily, it wasn't him.

Not really.

If not, maybe we'll see you again.

She still owes him money.

He said that it was fifteen hundred taels of silver, and that he wanted her to pay it back fifty years.

She didn't want to admit it herself, and agreed to go to the Golden Wisp Weaving Bureau because she heard him say that he was a scholar who traveled to Lingzhou.

Inside the room, the light was a little dim, and Xu Fengnian put on the python robe that clearly showed the etiquette of the Yue Dynasty.

It fits perfectly.

Just like when Xu Xiao wore him.
