Yesterday, the Jiang Mansion held a reception banquet for the returning Qin Mu, although it was just a dinner in the Jiang Mansion, it made Qin Mu, who was only the commander of the guards, a little moved, and Yu Nie was also among them, which made the Jiang Mansion as a whole more cohesive.

Early the next morning, Qin Mu, as a personal guard and special car driver, accompanied Jiang Mo to Tianxiaju.

Coincidentally, Zheng Xiaofeng also wanted to ask Jiang Mo what his name was, so he went out of the city early in the morning to the paper mill.

However, Jiang Mo's focus was naturally on Jiao Jian, whether he had found any news, Jiao Jian first chattered about how hard he had worked to inquire.

Later, he found a few white, yellow, and red flowers from the merchant, which seemed to be similar to what Jiang Mo had described.

But Jiang Mo glanced at it and said, "Neither"

Jiao Jian's face twisted into a ball, and he frowned: "No, I wanted to say yesterday, you are so familiar, you can pick it in the place where you have seen!" ”

"I can't go back," Jiang Mo replied, .......

Jiao Jian suddenly paused for a while, and said a lot more calmly: "Then you should also ask the merchants of the Qi Kingdom, not the merchants of the Western Regions?" ”

"Only the Western Regions have it, and cotton has grown this season......

Jiang Mo felt strange that this era had opened the Silk Road for hundreds of years, and cucumbers were available, but cotton had not yet appeared...... But if you think about it carefully, the Han Dynasty had the Silk Road, and cotton was only introduced by the Northern and Southern Dynasties, which seems to be excusable.

"Cotton, the flowers are beautiful, and they produce cotton bolls, right, this is the thing, right?" The familiar figure walked behind Jiang Mo.

Jiang Mo turned his head suddenly, and the two of them were almost face to face, this person was the grandson of the pseudonym Mu Gongzi.

Jiang Mo took a few steps back, and Jiao Jian and Zhen Ding Ling also saluted.

Mu Gongzi shook his hand, "Oh, no, don't use it, feel free, I'll find Ding Ling."

"In the ......," Zhen Ding Ling took a few steps forward and bent her knees.

Mu Gongzi looked confused, "Hey, I haven't seen you for a few days, are you shorter and fatter?" ”

Ding Ling's face was flushed, and she felt humiliated, and Jiao Jian comforted in a low voice: "Don't listen to this boy's nonsense, I think it's good."

Jiao Jian gestured with a pen on his chest, and unsurprisingly, Ding Ling blushed even more and cleaned up Jiao Jian.

Jiang Mo embarrassedly pulled Mu Gongzi to the second floor and explained, "What Mu Gongzi, why don't you talk about cotton first, the Ding Ling you are looking for, you can find it yourself... Maybe it's even more interesting. ”

"Oh ~ hahaha, okay, Ben...... Then I won't ask" Mu Gongzi smiled, "Oh, by the way, the cotton you said, I also heard Lingli say it yesterday"

"Who is Lingli?"

"One of the distinguished guests of that day" Jiao Jian also followed suit to explain.

"What kind of guest is he, she heard Yu Weijie say that Jiang Gongzi seems to be looking for cotton."

Jiang Mo seemed to have missed a lot of information, and asked: "Who is Yu Weijie and how do you know me?" ”

Jiao Jian answered again: "It seems to be..."

"Shut up" Mu Gongzi raised his arrogant head again, his hands on his hips, "It doesn't matter, anyway, I know where there is ......"

"How many?"

"Slice after piece!"

"Say, what's the condition?"

Mu Gongzi smiled like a flower, "Smart people are refreshing, it's nothing, just Yu Weijie They want your drawings of the world's kitchen utensils and tables and chairs, it's been many days, my Ding Ling beauty, helped transform the kitchen of a drunken fairy building, and provided a set of kitchen utensils, we can also imitate it, the imitation looks similar, it's always a bit of a problem, don't you have to find Ding Ling......"

"Okay, I can give you a detailed design drawing for forging pots and pans......" Jiang Mo agreed very happily, these things are actually difficult to form secrets, Jiang Mo has already told Zheng Xiaofeng that you can customize kitchen utensils and sell them in the future, and promote stir-frying, but at present, coal mining has not yet formed a scale, coal smelting has not yet developed, and iron smelting is more difficult, more as a weapon, only nobles can use more iron tools, and this monopoly, Jiang Mo will also break.

"Really? Don't ask Ding Ling? By the way, I heard that you can cook, so you trained the chef, why don't you train Zuixianlou as well? ”

"Yes, I'll make a recipe and give you a set!"

Mu Gongzi smiled even more happily, "Ahaha, it's so easy to talk about things, you have to show off when you go back......"

Jiang Mo reminded: "Cotton! ”

"Oh, cotton, I'll first... It wasn't that Emperor Xiaowen had also sent an envoy to the Western Regions to look for cotton, and it was consistent with what you described, but more than ten years to no avail, ten years after his death, he found it by chance, but I don't know its use, so it was planted in the royal temple and the imperial mausoleum.... The flowers are pretty beautiful, but now they don't seem to be flowering, they're all withered... There is a cotton boll ....... what you are talking about."

Jiang Mo frowned and repeated: "Taimiao and Imperial Mausoleum"

"The imperial tomb is in Chang'an, and it takes more than a day for carriages and horses to go, and it's too disrespectful to go there, let's go to Taimiao!"

Jiang Mo's eyebrows jumped, with a black line on his face, "Are you sure there is no disrespect when you go to Taimiao?" And it doesn't sound that easy to get into, right? ”

Mu Gongzi said proudly: "I can find a way to take you in, and I can also protect you out, it shouldn't be a problem to pick a few out!" ”

Jiang Mo thought for a while and said, "How much do I want to pick?" ”

...........

Luoyang Imperial City, next to the palace is the majestic Taimiao, is the place of royal sacrifice and the palace is only separated by a wall, entering the imperial city are guarded by layers, plus the majestic palace is in the distance, so that Jiang Mo and his party feel the majesty.

On the left side of Suzaku Street in the Imperial City is the central office, and on the right side leading to the Imperial Palace, there are several buildings standing on the empty stone bricks in the field, this is the Taimiao, which seems to be different from the imperial city of any dynasty in Jiang Mo's mind.

Although there are not too many guards guarding Taimiao Square, you can catch it at a glance when you enter.

Jiang Mo, Qin Mu and Jiao Jian were dressed as eunuchs by Mu Gongzi, Mu Gongzi was still a very luxurious golden crown embroidered dress, although the guards of the Taimiao saw Mu Gongzi respectfully saluting, but they also asked Mu Gongzi's entourage carefully for a long time.

The entourage's name is Wang Jin, and his age is estimated to be less than thirty, and his words and deeds after wearing the eunuch service are like eunuchs....

The guards of the Taimiao Temple looked at Jiang Mo and the others, and searched their bodies, not allowing them to bring any metal objects, and even the gloves that Jiang Mo was carrying were questioned for a long time......
