Chapter Seventy-Six: The Queen Mother's Birthday
Steward Liu hesitated for a moment, but still told Yan Jinzhou these words. He had always wanted to say these words, but he also knew that Qi Feng didn't want to tell Yan Jinzhou.
Speaking of which, Steward Liu also really feels sorry for Qi Feng. Qi Feng's parents died early, and he knew that Qi Feng's situation was not easy, he had to manage such a large family as the Shoufu Mansion, and he was busy with official business.
Steward Liu knew that Qi Feng cared very much about this Shoufu wife.
After this period of contact, Steward Liu also recognized Yan Jinzhou and felt that Yan Jinzhou could help Qi Feng take care of the Shoufu Mansion.
But what Qi Feng did for Yan Jinzhou, Yan Jinzhou didn't know. Steward Liu felt that it was still necessary to let Yan Jinzhou know, and he sincerely hoped that Qi Feng and Yan Jinzhou would be fine in the future. Live a good life, and add a big fat boy to the Shoufu Mansion, so that the Shoufu Mansion will also be lively.
"I know, go back and tell the adults, I will definitely do my best not to disgrace him." When Steward Liu was thinking happily, Yan Jinzhou spoke.
In fact, just hearing what Steward Liu said, Yan Jinzhou was still taken aback.
This matter is so smooth, it is indeed only possible with Qi Feng's help, she has not thought about it.
However, she didn't expect that it was really Qi Feng who helped her, and Qi Feng would help her?
This is something Yan Jinzhou did not expect.
Perhaps, he just got his hands dirty? Yan Jinzhou was actually a little confused, he couldn't guess Qi Feng's thoughts.
But Yan Jinzhou didn't want to guess at will, after all, a person with the status of Qi Feng was in this era when men were strong and women were weak, and Qi Feng's thoughts were actually hard to guess.
Therefore, after sorting out his thoughts, Yan Jinzhou said those words to the housekeeper.
Now Yan Jinzhou just wants to open her shop safely, and then make good money.
In this way, she can live here without looking at other people's faces, and she can also do what she wants.
In Yan Jinzhou's cognition, as long as she has money, she can leave the house at any time if she wants to.
What's more important is that if she has money, in case Qi Feng treats her badly in the future, such as marrying other women or something, she can also leave at any time and take the first assistant mansion.
As long as you have money, where can't you go?
In this world, among the people Yan Jinzhou knows, the one she envies the most is actually her mother.
Yan Su has his own business, which is in line with Yan Jinzhou's idea that as a modern person, he does not want to and does not want to be attached to his husband.
And Yan Jinzhou's father, although he is Yan Guogong, did not prevent his mother from playing a dart game, which shows that Yan Guogong's thinking is advanced.
If this is another official, not to mention a big official, it is an ordinary petty official, who does not keep his wife as a canary in a cage.
Yan Jinzhou didn't want to live like that.
Time flies.
With Qi Feng's reminder, Yan Jinzhou's design of the clothes for the Queen Mother's birthday was also very smooth.
Yan Jinzhou also went to the royal fabric store to spend a lot of money to buy a very good fabric, but did not let the store dye it.
At that time, the guy in the store was still very strange, but Yan Jinzhou didn't explain too much, and the guy didn't ask much when he saw that Yan Jinzhou had given enough money.
Yan Jinzhou uses the dyeing technology of his own shop. After understanding, Yan Jinzhou already knew that in addition to using pure natural dyes, the ratio of dyes and other substances such as alum was obtained after several experiments, so the color was exceptionally pure.
In addition, the shop dyeing cloth in the Yanguo Mansion also has a unique recipe, which was taught by an eldest lady herself. She was a well-known dyeing artist in the capital, and she became famous in the capital for a while with her ancestral exclusive dyeing technology, but she had to leave the capital because she was framed.
On the way, he was chased by the enemy and was saved by Yan Jinzhou's mother who was passing by.
The man knew that his dyeing craft would disappear from the public.
She couldn't bear this craft to disappear with her, and she was grateful for the rescue of Yan Su, so she volunteered to give this craft to Yan Jinzhou's mother.
Yan Jinzhou's mother was a little embarrassed at the time and didn't know how to help the man, but seeing that she was uncomfortable, she reluctantly agreed.
Yan Su didn't expect that Yan Guogong still had some fabric shops. So when she knew, the problems were solved.
But Yan Su thought that the woman was hunted down and killed because of this skill, so he just kept letting his henchmen dye the cloth according to the method that the man said, but did not publicize his cloth in the capital.
Coupled with the monopoly of the royal cloth store on fabrics, there has been nothing wrong with it all these years.
Now, if Yan Jinzhou hadn't taken over the shop and wanted to use these fabrics to make clothes, so he asked the store housekeeper about the dyeing of the cloth, the housekeeper would not have let people know about the existence of this dyeing craft.
"Madame has explained that this craft may bring bad things and may be a disaster for the store, so don't let others know." After talking to Yan Jinzhou about dyeing cloth, the housekeeper didn't forget to add a sentence and remind Yan Jinzhou to be careful.
If it weren't for Yan Jinzhou being the daughter of Yan Su's family, Yan Su's family was very supportive of Yan Jinzhou's entrepreneurship, and had already instructed them to obey Yan Jinzhou's arrangements, and the housekeeper didn't want to tell Yan Jinzhou so much.
September 16, the Queen Mother's birthday. The Empress Dowager is 80 years old this year. The emperor and queen, the concubines and concubines of the harem, and the civil and military officials, went to congratulate and offer congratulatory gifts. The Queen Mother's birthday banquet was extremely lively.
In the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother, the most grand and lively is the congratulatory gift. But among the many congratulatory gifts, the most eye-catching one is without exception, which is the clothes carefully designed and made by Yan Jinzhou for the Queen Mother.
The bright yellow clothes are bright in color, and the peony looks like a real flower. The most unique thing is the shape of the clothes, which is solemn but elegant. The Queen Mother was very happy when she saw it, and immediately ordered the maids around her to put it away.
After receiving the clothes, the Queen Mother also asked Qi Feng what reward he wanted according to Yan Jinzhou's expectations.
As for why he asked Qi Feng what reward he wanted? Because according to the regulations, except for the wives of royal personnel, they can participate in the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and the wives of other officials, unless they are given a decree, are not eligible to participate in the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.
Therefore, at this Queen Mother's birthday banquet, the picture of the clothes designed by Yan Jinzhou being praised by everyone is impossible for Yan Jinzhou to see.
But Yan Guogong and Yan Jinxiu were indeed present, and everyone said that Shoufu had a good wife and praised Yan Guogong for having a good daughter.
This suddenly made Yan Guogong increase his face, and the smile on Yan Guogong's face did not disappear until the end of the birthday banquet.
But in stark contrast to Yan Guogong is Yan Jinxiu, at this time, Yan Jinxiu is sitting next to the three princes because she is the wife of the third prince.
