Chapter 59 The Queen's Court Dress

Chi Xia forcibly stuffed the plum blossom cake into Yongzheng's hand.

Under the soft glutinous rice balls is a sweet and brushed glutinous rice cake.

Further down is the soft and sweet bean paste.

Chi Xia coaxed him with a smile: "We not only want to earn their silver, but also use this silver to develop sailors and develop technology, so that they will never be able to reach the dust." Well, just like this plum blossom cake, as we eat it one bite at a time, it gets sweeter and sweeter. ”

Yongzheng's heart warmed, and he just took a bite of bean paste.

I only felt that the sweet and greasy taste was like the girl in front of him, which made him a little addicted.

Chi Xia smiled sweetly at him: "How is it, it's delicious, right?" ”

"Chi Xia......" Yongzheng opened his mouth, as if he felt a little rusty to shout like this, and changed his words: "Xia Xia, you ......"

"Wait, wait," Chi Xia didn't come back to his senses for a while, and when he reacted, he wanted to call himself by his nickname, and hurriedly said, "You shouted like that, I thought my uncle was here." ”

Her father and mother shouted like this, and her uncle occasionally shouted like this.

But after shouting, it will inevitably be followed by a long list of education.

Yong's face was condensed.

I want to "talk" with Ortai.

"Actually, my nickname is ......" Chi Xia pinched his ears and felt a little embarrassed: "It's the previous nickname, it's actually called Nian Nian." ”

"Niannian?" Yongzheng subconsciously repeated: "Do you want to forget?" ”

Chi Xia shrugged: "Then I don't know, it may just be their random start." Anyway, that's what everyone called it when I was a kid. If you really want to call it, that's it? ”

Yongzheng nodded, but didn't call her again: "It's not early, I have to go to the weaving bureau tomorrow, go back to sleep." ”

Chi Xia said "uh-huh" twice: "What about tariffs?" ”

Yongzheng has recovered from the emotions just now, and his thoughts are clear: "I will consider it carefully, and wait until Fuzhou and Guangzhou have seen the specific situation of the city, and then formulate a detailed charter." ”

~~~

As the first of the three major weavings, Jiangning weaving also occupies a large place in Jinling City.

Cao Hao was waiting on the shore before dawn, his eyes were blue and black, and Cao Meng was also beside him.

Yongzheng is still a micro-service today, bringing the Nian brothers and Chi Xia, as well as a group of guards.

But today is a semi-formal occasion, and Chi Xia also cooperated to clean up a little and changed into a light flag outfit.

As soon as he entered the weaving bureau, Nian Xiyao's eyes lit up, and he saw the steam spinning machine in an instant.

Cao Hao obviously made up for a night of class yesterday, and hurriedly introduced: "This is the new spinning machine that the Science and Technology Department has just provided to the Weaving Bureau this year, and the speed is very fast. ”

The machine came from him, and Nian Xiyao certainly knew the speed of the machine.

He only asked what he cared about: "Has this machine ever broken?" How long has it been running? Is the water inlet below hot? ”

Cao Hao: ......

How could he know this, the emperor didn't ask these questions yesterday!

Cao Meng hurriedly added: "It is Master Zhang who operates this machine on a daily basis, Master Zhang, can you tell this adult?" ”

The master she ordered looked to be in his fifties, and he didn't know who he was here, but he wasn't nervous.

It was very good to ask and answer with Nian Xiyao, and the two of them went to talk next to the machine while chatting.

Chi Xia looked at Cao Hao, feeling as if he had stayed up all night to review, and went to the examination room with confidence, and found that the Chinese paper had become a student with a physics paper.

And Yongzheng, the strict "examiner", has not finished asking.

Seeing his submissive appearance, he lowered his face: "Since you don't understand the machine, let's go and see the new materials this year." ”

Cao Hao was busy leading the way in front: "The style of next year's court clothes and auspicious clothes has been issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and now the court clothes and auspicious clothes of the concubines, concubines and imperial concubines have been made, and the court clothes of the emperor, queen and queen mother have been prepared, and the auspicious clothes are still trimmed with gold wire, please take a look at the emperor first." ”

Yongzheng was obviously not satisfied with this answer: "I asked you about the material, but I didn't ask you about the court clothes." ”

Chi Xia is anxious about this "bad student".

Cao Meng said: "This year, the Jiangning Weaving Bureau selected 80 embroiderers from Suzhou and 60 embroiderers from Jinling, and mixed silk and wool to weave two new fabrics. ”

Finally, there is a right question.

Chi Xia still remembers this "crab roe soup dumpling beauty", she has a little filter for food and beauty.

looked at Yongzheng: "It's all here, and the emperor also took his concubines to open his eyes." ”

It has been so many years since the Qing Dynasty, and she has really never seen a particularly serious court dress.

It is said that the great court clothes and the great crown are generally only complete with the enthronement, ancestor worship, and genius worship.

It is generally not her turn to participate in this kind of occasion, after all, she was still a small person when Yongzheng ascended the throne.

Yongzheng saw that she intended to relieve Cao Meng, and he didn't care about it anymore.

The court clothes and auspicious clothes of the concubines have been made and draped on the wooden figures.

There is a stone blue auspicious dress that is only half embroidered, scattered on the big table, the pattern of the dragon and the dragon has been embroidered, the feathers are complete, lifelike, more than a dozen embroiderers are working together to embroider the pattern of longevity.

It was the first time for Chi Xia, who had seen such a big battle of "ready-to-wear haute couture", and he curiously came to the front to take a look.

Cao Meng smiled: "The one that Niangniang is looking at is the imperial concubine's auspicious dress." The concubine's is here, it's not so cumbersome, it's already embroidered, and the mother can also try it first. ”

She was kind enough to relieve the Cao family, but Cao Meng actually hinted here that she was ambitious, and she was still a "concubine" and wanted to see the clothes of the "imperial concubine"?

Is she Mr. Dongguo saving the wolf?

Chi Xia turned his head to look at her: "Really?" I remember Miss Cao said yesterday that Lord Cao does not allow you to meddle in the affairs of the Weaving House, and I see that you have no official position, how can you be so clear about the harem court clothes in the Weaving Bureau? Is the Cao family's family education not strict, or is Miss Cao too interested in the concubine's court clothes? ”

Don't blame me for being unrighteous if you're unkind.

She looked at Yongzheng with a smile: "Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't have a good memory, that's what she said yesterday, right?" ”

In order to facilitate the embroidery girl, the light in the embroidery room is excellent, and it shines brightly in Chi Xia's eyes.

Yongzheng hooked the corners of his lips: "I remember well." ”

After that, he directly put the Cao family sisters and brothers aside, and beckoned Chi Xia: "Last year, the queen's court dress was a little too big, and you are about the same size as the queen, so let's try it first." ”

Chi Xia was stunned. His eyes signaled to him: Just support your waist, and you don't have to be so excessive.

However, Yongzheng has never been afraid of exceeding the rules for the people he has enclosed in his "protection range".

Just like when he desperately gave Yinxiang grace, he not only sealed the only iron hat prince after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, but also gave his family an iron hat county king for Yinxiang's other sons to pass on. Yinxiang's mausoleum is even more beyond the specifications and is close to the emperor.

Sure enough, Yongzheng was unmoved, and even sat down on the side: "Go and try." ”
