Chapter 295: Cashmere Carpet

Dong Wan'er arrived at the Longevity Palace and presented a cashmere carpet to the Queen Mother, which immediately attracted the surprise of the Empress Dowager Dong, and ordered the maid to spread the carpet on the lobby, which was soft and comfortable to step on. I can't help but feel a lot better.

"Ziyi also has a heart, and he still thinks about me, an old woman," Empress Dowager Dong said with a smile.

Although the Empress Dowager Dong is nearly fifty years old, she has been well maintained, with a slight wrinkle at the corners of her eyes, a graceful and luxurious body, plus a long time in a high position, and the temperament of a noble lady is even more natural.

"Auntie is not old at all," Dong Wan'er stepped forward and took Empress Dowager Dong's hand and said.

"My aunt doesn't want to be old, my aunt hasn't hugged her little grandson yet," Empress Dowager Dong gently patted the back of Dong Wan'er's hand.

"Aunt" Dong Wan'er suddenly turned red with shame.

"My aunt heard that the girl of the Cai family gave birth to a son, and Wan'er should also be concerned, if not, she will go to Bingzhou, and she doesn't have to stay in Luoyang City. Your Majesty's aunt is going to help you say," Empress Dowager Dong continued.

"The state is in chaos, Wan'er doesn't dare to go, so she stays in Luoyang to accompany her aunt. Some of these carpets were given to His Majesty, but I was worried that His Majesty was busy with state affairs, so I didn't dare to disturb them," Dong Wan'er whispered.

"My aunt hasn't seen Your Majesty for a long time, and the Han Dynasty has been a little unpeaceful recently, Your Majesty has been working on state affairs, and her whole body has already collapsed," Empress Dowager Dong's face was full of worry, and she said to the waiter at the door after speaking.

"Please come to Your Majesty, and you will say that the lord of Huanting will enter the palace to give gifts"

The chamberlain took the order and left, and the Empress Dowager Dong pulled Dong Wan'er to talk about family life for a while, and after about half an hour, she saw Liu Hong walk into the Longevity Palace, and was just about to kneel and salute, but was attracted by the cashmere carpet on the ground, and the fluffy kneeling on it was warm and comfortable.

"Erchen has seen the Queen Mother, presumably this is a gift from the county lord" Liu Hong reached out and gently stroked the cashmere carpet.

"Yes, it was specially sent by General Zhenbei from Bingzhou, what is it called?"

"Is it made of sheepskin, how can there be such a big sheepskin" Liu Hong was also surprised, he naturally knew the cashmere blanket, but such a flat blanket was already very rare, and it was so huge.

"There are many sheepskins sewn together," Dong Wan'er hurriedly explained.

"Oh" Liu Hong crouched on the ground, looked carefully, and sure enough, he saw the traces of sewing, but the sewing was extremely perfect, unless he went to see it deliberately, he really couldn't see it.

"General Zhenbei still has such thoughts, it really opened my eyes" Liu Hong also laughed, and his depressed mood suddenly brightened a lot.

"If the emperor likes it, this time Bingzhou sent fifty such blankets, except for one left in Ziwei Palace, all the rest were brought into the palace, please transfer them to the ladies of the harem," Dong Wan'er said with a bow.

"The county lord also has a heart. In this way, the county lord will go on a trip in person, and those sisters-in-law of yours haven't seen you for a long time, or the queen will also go to see you, last time Ziyi was crowned the general of Zhenbei. It's still the general's support, and it should also be expressed" Liu Hong nodded to Dong Wan'er and said with a smile.

Dong Wan'er agreed, said goodbye and left, heading towards the harem. gave the carpets to some concubines in the harem, Niangniang. Seeing Dong Wan'er coming, these concubines naturally didn't dare to slack off, and now Dong Wan'er's identity is no longer as good as before, not only the wife of the general of Zhenbei, but also the sister of the hussar general. Today's hussar generals are big men with real power.

The news of the carpet suddenly spread in Luoyang City, and some ministers were still a little uncut about it, after all, it was just some news from the harem, when they were in the early dynasty, they saw the entire hall, and the ground was covered with fluffy carpets, and they were suddenly shocked.

In the early Han Dynasty, they could not wear shoes, usually wore a pair of cotton socks and stepped on the hard stone slab, and their feet were always cold, so the legs and feet of some old ministers were always unfavorable, when they wore socks and stepped on the cashmere carpet, the warmth suddenly made them feel more comfortable, and some people were lying on the ground and observing carefully.

Liu Hong was very satisfied with everyone's performance and said with a smile.

"I think you already know, yes, this is the cashmere carpet made of the sheep captured by General Zhenbei from the Huns, and it is also for you Aiqing to no longer suffer from frozen feet, so he specially sent someone to Luoyang."

Although yesterday's Luoyang City has been spread all over the city, today I saw it with my own eyes and said it from His Majesty's mouth. At the moment, I didn't doubt it anymore, I was grateful for Wang Gang's benefits, and I didn't say anything more about Wang Gang's son, but finally said vaguely that the state was not very peaceful, and it was better to leave Cai Yan's mother and daughter in Luoyang.

Wang Gang did not let Dong Wan'er sell the carpet, because the time has not yet come, and the output has never gone up, and now only the palace is in use, and it will also give Liu Hong enough vanity, and when he has done enough, he will open the market, maybe it will be better.

It's just that some businessmen began to come to the state. When they bought a few sheepskins and asked someone to sew them together, they completely gave up trying, and the current cashmere carpets are not something that they can involve as small merchants, not only sheepskins are difficult to buy in large quantities. Even the sewing is extremely ugly, plus this is only used by the palace, who knows if selling carpets will make the emperor unhappy.

At this time, the workshop in Jinyang is in order, since Wang Gang left Yao Bi in the workshop last time, yes, the efficiency of the workshop to sew sheepskin blankets is more than half faster than before, in the past, it could only produce a few pieces a day, but now, it can produce dozens or even hundreds of pieces a day. The sheepskins on the market have been almost bought out by Zhang Yueer.

With Yao Bi's guidance, not only did he make a cashmere carpet, but now he can also make a style that women wear, and with good satin, it is also gorgeous.

The news that Cai Yan gave birth to a son also spread to Jinyang, Zhang Yue'er looked at her father's letter, and was a little lost for a while, and glanced at her uncompetitive belly, and suddenly felt helpless. Mi Zhen next to her seemed to see Zhang Yue'er's thoughts, stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Yue'er's small hand and said.

"Sister Yue'er doesn't have to worry, she will naturally come when she should come, and when the general wins the battle, you can leave him in Jinyang for a few days, won't it?"

"What's the matter with you, you know what you say very well, a big girl's family, don't be ashamed" Red Sleeves said angrily.

"There's nothing to do with me, how can there be, you also want to give birth to one" Mi Zhen suddenly sneered.

"You ......"

"Okay, don't quarrel with the two of you, the general has no news since he won the battle in Hequ County. I'm really a little relieved," Zhang Yue'er glared at the two of them.

"Don't worry, my brother-in-law must be fine, he is so bad, the king of Hades doesn't dare to accept him" Red Sleeves also hurriedly comforted Zhang Yue'er.

The three girls fell silent for a moment......
