The moment the bun basket in the Yun family camp was opened, the rest of the people in the camp all looked sideways.
Seeing the steaming hot, white, plump and fragrant buns being taken out of the basket by the cooks, it was not only the children who drooled.
Xungui still has some dignity. Naturally, he cannot lick his face and ask for it. He can only cover his children's eyes and take them back to the tent.
Then, the child's crying started again.
The young men and maids of the Yun family are very diligent, each holding a plate of steamed buns and delivering them quickly to each house. I wish I could deliver them to more households.
The buns from the Yun family are free of charge, and a few buns are not worth the return gift. However, the maid’s reward cannot be less for the young man, so in a short time, the money bag hanging on the maid’s belt quickly bulged up and ran
There was a tinkling noise when it happened.
The maid next to Li Si carried two huge food boxes, and Yun Jin's maid held two rectangular boxes. They followed Li Si and Yun Jin to the entrance of the palace where the emperor was stationed, waiting for the queen to summon him.
After a while, Aunt Chun came out. She just glanced at the rectangular box held in the maid's hand and immediately sniffed and said, "Steamed buns? Why are they so fragrant?"
Yun Jin smiled and said: "I heard that some were added to it..."
Aunt Chun didn't wait for Yun Jin to finish what she said, and immediately said: "It's better not to talk nonsense about the family's secret recipe."
Yun Jin looked at Aunt Chun and her eyes immediately became very strange.
Li Si pointed to the two food boxes and said, "This is the meal presented by the Yun family."
Aunt Chun said: "Bring me some steamed buns as a present?"
Li Si pouted and said, "It's much better than vegetarian food. I ate six of them by myself in the morning!"
Aunt Chun looked around and found that the other guards were far away, so she whispered to Li Si: "You don't even smile at me."
Li Si said angrily: "You know the reason yourself."
After saying that, he took Yun Jin to the palace. Aunt Chun followed and said, "That's all nonsense."
Li Si snorted, ignored Aunt Chun, and continued walking forward.
The emperor lived in the middle hall, and the queen lived in the palace on the left. Both palaces had no names. The lintels were bare, but there was a place to hang a plaque. They were removed after the emperor moved in.
Li Si and Yun Jin were sitting on their knees in the front hall of the queen's palace. Yun Jin looked at a little girl who was placed in a cradle boredly. The child was lying on the edge of the cradle and drooling at the two of them. She was very cute.
However, Li Si's eyes were focused on Li Xian, who was sitting behind a low table and writing opposite him. Ever since Li Si came in, Li Xian's writing attitude had been particularly upright.
There was a younger boy on a short table next to Li Xian. He was tracing red lines, but his eyes were always peeking at Li Si and Yun Jin.
Li Si came behind Li Xian and found that the hairs on the back of the guy's neck stood up. He leaned down and grabbed Li Xian's head and said: "The "Lanting Preface" handwritten by Emperor Taizong is not something you can copy now half-heartedly.
"
Li Xian broke free from Li Si's grasp, put his hands in front of him and said, "I can't write well, and you can't hit me."
Li Si slapped his hand away and said, "I brought you some delicious food, don't keep saying that I hit you."
As he spoke, he took out a hot bun from the food box and stuffed it directly into Li Xian's hand and said, "Eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it gets cold."
Li Xian looked at the bun in his hand and swallowed, "You didn't put poison in it, did you?"
Li Si took the bun and took a bite, then stuffed the rest back to Li Xian. While chewing, he said, "Are you relieved now?"
Li Xian took a bite with confidence, then his eyes lit up and he ate it in two or three bites.
Li Si turned around and looked at the young Li Dan and said, "Are you afraid of poison?"
Li Dan shook his head repeatedly, so Li Dan got a bun that was just warm. At this time, Li Xian had already started to eat the second one.
After Yun Jin looked at the two brothers, she focused her attention on the box in front of her again. It was obvious that the two brothers opposite were stupid and not worthy of her taking another look.
When Wu Mei came in, she found that Li Xian and Li Dan were eating around the food box, and Taiping was being held in Li Si's arms, biting a huge bun with his toothless mouth.
Looking at Aunt Chun, I found that she was holding a bun in both hands and eating it like a marmot, so I didn't say anything.
When Li Si saw his mother coming, he quickly hugged Taiping and said, "My child has brought delicious food to the queen."
Wu Mei glanced at the buns in the food box and said indifferently: "I won't eat the delicious ones, just to talk about something."
Li Si turned around and handed Taiping to Aunt Chun. She held the wooden box in front of Yun Jin and said, "I want to ask mother to see how Yun's female celebrities are doing."
Wu Mei smiled and said: "Is this your filial piety?"
Li Si pointed at Yun Jin and said, "It's Yun Jin's heartfelt wish."
Wu Mei looked at Yun Jin and waved. When the child passed by, she lifted Yun Jin's chin with her fingers, looked at it carefully for a while and said: "He is less brave and more charming than your brother. This is yours."
Female celebrity?"
Yun Jin made a rumble in his throat and nodded.
Wu Mei smiled and said: "It is said that every child of the Yun family is outstanding, but today I want to see where you are outstanding."
As Wu Mei waved her hand, someone from the palace immediately stepped forward to open the box and displayed the embroidery inside in front of Wu Mei.
After just one glance, Wu Mei immediately asked: "How many colors were used?"
Yun Jin said: "Reporting to the queen, twenty-seven colors were used, and each color is divided into eight shades."
Li Si immediately answered: "Two hundred and sixteen kinds."
Wu Mei said: "Where is the silk thread?"
Yun Jin opened the second box and asked the palace servants to hold it so that the queen could see clearly.
Wu Mei grabbed some silk threads, put them in front of her and looked at them carefully and said, "How come there are so many colors?"
Yun Jin said: "Blue and red are purple, blue and yellow are green, blue and black are gray, and so on, you will always get many colors."
Seeing that Yun Jin didn't want to say more, Wu Mei took a look at the colorful dragon and phoenix Chengxiang tent and said, "That's right, I'll give you ten strings of money."
Li Si said on the side: "It's such a good thing. It took three hundred embroidery workers to work for two months, and you can give me ten thousand dollars?"
Wu Mei sneered and said to Yun Jin: "I won't give you the chance to make huge profits for the Yun family. The last time your father presented the Pearl of the East China Sea, I didn't notice it and made some jewelry with the beads. As a result, in the blink of an eye, the Dongzhu of Chang'an was
The price skyrocketed a hundred times.
Didn't your father tell you that this kind of thing is inevitable?"
Yun Jin looked disappointed, with tears welling up in her eyes. However, she still said bravely: "As long as the Queen likes it, I will be infinitely happy. However, this thing is related to the future livelihood of countless embroiderers, so Yun Jin dare not accept the reward."
."
Wu Mei laughed and said: "You are really like the Yun family. You open your mouth to the people and shut your mouth to the world. It's a pity. Even if you shed tears, I will not be soft-hearted. If you want to sell silk threads, you can do it according to your ability, but you can't
Use this palace as a raft.
Doing this will make me look like a fool."
Hearing this, Yun Jin bowed and bowed down, kneeling down in her original position again. Although tears were streaming down her face, her back was straight, and her swan-like graceful neck supported a small beauty head. She did not hide her disappointment and sadness.
Her pursed mouth revealed her stubborn side.
Li Xian couldn't bear to watch, so he said to his mother: "Queen Mother..."
Before Wu Mei could react, Yun Jin glared at Li Xian first, causing Li Xian to swallow the rest of his words.
Wu Mei saw this scene and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Except for the prince Li Hong, the other children in her family seemed to be unable to do anything.
She met the children of the Yun family, Yun Jin, Yun Jin, the twins. Yun Jin didn't say anything. As the eldest son of a noble family who would establish a family in the future, they were definitely qualified.
The eldest daughter of the Yun family in front of me does not look like a good person. The women next to her, even the noble women, do not dare to speak loudly in front of her, the queen, but this little girl can clearly understand
She expressed her demands clearly and clearly, and she was able to stick to her own point of view even after getting an answer that did not meet her requirements. She was somewhat similar to Yu Xiurong, a strong woman.
When Li Si saw her mother looking at Yun Jin thoughtfully, she knew that today's good thing might not be possible. With her mother's temperament, if it couldn't be done, it would definitely not work. There was no room for change.
Just when Li Siwei was about to take Yun Jin to leave, she accidentally saw a thief-headed giant bear. Then her eyes lit up and she immediately shouted: "The mother is unreasonable, the child goes to the father to argue."
Then Li Si heard the emperor's clear voice coming from behind the curtain: "You want to argue with me, but that's not possible. If your mother doesn't agree to your matter, your father will still not agree to it."
As Li Zhi spoke, he walked in with the giant bear. The giant bear had already smelled the food, so he naturally came to the food box and looked back at Li Zhi.
Li Zhi looked at Yun Jin who paid homage to him and said, "Whose young lady are you?"
Wu Mei smiled and said: "Yun Jin, the eldest daughter of the Yun family."
Li Zhi glanced at Yun Jin again and said, "Oh, it's from his family. No wonder the queen didn't agree to her request. The Yun family is full of people, but if you want anything, you have to refuse it. After you refuse, you still have to think about it.
Check to see if you haven't refused thoroughly enough.
What did she ask for this time?"
Wu Mei pointed to the tent spread out by the palace maid and said: "I plan to sell this tent to this palace at a high price, and then go back to brag to all the ladies about her Yun embroidery skills, and finally make a lot of money."
Li Zhi came to the tent, squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while and said: "The colors are gorgeous, not only brighter than the previous embroidery work, but it also seems to be more lively.
How much is she going to sell it for?”
Yun Jin quickly said: "It's dedicated to the queen. I don't dare to sell it."
Wu Mei suppressed a smile and said, "I gave you ten ounces of money."
Li Zhi looked at Yun Jin with a smile and said, "How much is it?"
Yun Jin said: "It's not for the court ladies, it's for the embroiderers who need to rely on embroidery workers to survive. If such a tent is told to others that it is only worth ten guan, their lives will be even more difficult."
Hearing this, Li Zhi looked at Wu Mei and said: "It's rare to think about the embroidered girl in the world. He is a good boy. The Queen might as well give him a little more."
Wu Mei nodded solemnly and said: "Okay, His Majesty has spoken, and I will naturally obey. Then I will add another amount of money, for a total of eleven."
Li Si, who was originally full of expectations, suddenly said: "This is not enough. The mother-in-law and the mother-in-law honor the world, and you can't spend every penny."
Wu Mei sneered and said: "When a yarn mill is opened in Chang'an, women all over the world will burst into tears. If there is one more spindle in the yarn mill in Chang'an, the women in other places will have to spin one less spindle."
Chang'an cotton mill takes one day to weave a four-foot piece of cotton and linen cloth, and sells it for fifty cents, and gets five bushels of corn. A peasant woman takes half a month to weave the same piece of linen cloth, but because it is not produced in Chang'an, she can only sell it for forty cents.
, got four measures of food.
You must know that in the past, a peasant woman could sell a piece of linen for seventy cents and get six measures of grain.
Yun Jin, please tell me, except for the female textile workers in Chang'an, do the more textile female workers in the world benefit or suffer?"
