Chapter 273 My Mother Is a Reasonable General's Wife 21
Chapter 273 My mother is a reasonable general’s wife (21)
Emperor Haoxuan has been enjoying the spring breeze recently. The Spring Festival is coming soon. The weather this year is good and the food harvest is good.
The treasury was full, and he was generous in rewarding officials.
What's more, Jing Taiyuan Hospital was bringing people for consultation, and it turned out that the queen was pregnant with twins. There was no bigger surprise than this.
No, there is another good news. The Liao people have been suppressed by Uncle Changbei, and they are now preparing to do business with Uncle Changbei.
I don’t know what kind of cake Uncle Changbei drew for them, but they actually stopped there.
And Uncle Changbei also sent him a horse from the north, saying that it was given to her by the Liao people. He also said that the business had just started this year and she would not get much money yet, so she only regarded the horse as this year's profit.
It's not half and half.
The Liao people were indeed very good at raising horses. Although this horse was not a famous horse, it had a strong appearance and good intelligence. Emperor Haoxuan liked it very much.
Just thinking that Yu Guang was right, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
This man really took his words seriously and planned to share half of the profits with him.
However, Yu Guang's behavior is quite interesting. He actually reports to him in every letter what he has done in the past few days and where the funds have been spent.
However, Emperor Haoxuan felt quite convinced: As a general, he could rest assured in whatever he did.
No, I am already Uncle Changbei. Today the treasury is full, so I can give more rewards to Uncle Changbei.
With this in mind, Emperor Haoxuan also looked forward to Yu Guang's letter more and more.
The last letter before the Spring Festival, and along with it came a big package.
Emperor Haoxuan opened it and found that there were two furry clothes inside.
A large triangular shawl with strange patterns, a long strip of fabric with large holes in a single color, and some strange-looking skeins of thread.
At the same time, I was also told that with the package came an embroiderer from Luocheng.
Emperor Haoxuan opened the letter and almost laughed out of anger.
Yu Guang made it very clear in her letter that this was the business she was doing with the Liao people.
Now that the things have been made, they are just ready for the emperor and empress to enjoy.
This is not to let him enjoy it, but to use his hand to promote the thing.
As the saying goes, if the emperor likes something, all the officials and even the people of the world will naturally like it.
Yu Guang did make good calculations.
But thinking that Yu Guang had finally appeased the Liao people and avoided a war in winter, Emperor Haoxuan sighed softly: "Quanfu, try it on me."
You don't feel anything when it's not on your upper body, but after you put it on, you can find that the clothing is very warm, the fabric is very soft and elastic, and it just wraps up the inner layer well.
This actually surprised Emperor Haoxuan.
Especially the gathered design of the cuffs, you don’t have to worry about getting ink when writing.
Seeing Emperor Haoxuan touching the clothes again and again, Quanfu came forward holding the long thing and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to try this thing? Uncle Changbei said it is called a scarf."
Emperor Haoxuan likes sweaters very much, but he is not very fond of scarves.
Because he doesn't like the feeling of being tied around his neck.
Pulling the sweater on his body again, Emperor Haoxuan asked Quanfu, "Uncle Changbei said he plans to sell this material."
Quanfu responded while helping Emperor Haoxuan tidy up his clothes: "I heard from my uncle that he plans to sell ready-made clothes in different customized colors and styles."
After hearing this, Emperor Haoxuan's expression paused: "Does she plan to open shops everywhere?"
This is not good news.
Knowing that Emperor Haoxuan was overthinking, Quanfu replied calmly: "What the embroiderer brought here means that the Marquis does not plan to open a shop. Anyone who wants to do this business can go to Beidi to purchase goods."
Uncle Changbei is a good man, and this time he even gave him a pair of thick knee pads.
For his sake, sometimes thoughts can move him more than money.
Thinking that Uncle Changbei was still thinking about his legs, Quanfu felt a little warm in his heart, and he didn't care to say a few nice words to him.
Hearing this, Emperor Haoxuan's face relaxed: "How much is the price of these clothes?"
Quanfu stepped aside respectfully and allowed Emperor Haoxuan to look at the bronze mirror: "I heard it ranges from one hundred taels to one thousand taels."
Emperor Haoxuan nodded with satisfaction: "It's not expensive."
Every piece of clothing he wears costs tens of thousands of gold.
Knowing that His Majesty's eyes were different from others, Quanfu lowered his head and smiled without saying a word.
However, Emperor Haoxuan picked up the letter on the desk with great interest. After a while, Emperor Haoxuan put down the letter in his hand: "Go and deliver the things to the Queen."
The cost of such a piece of clothing was actually less than 200 yuan, Uncle Changbei really dared to tell him.
I'm not afraid that he will punish Yu Guang for price gouging, and I don't really think that he cares about the half-and-half thing.
Seeing Emperor Haoxuan's unpredictable expression, Quanfu said: "." Who can tell him what Uncle Changbei said?
In the past two months, the Queen's life has been very smooth, because Emperor Haoxuan has been staying in his palace and has not attracted any concubines.
Emperor Haoxuan was not a stoic person, which made the queen vaguely suspect that the two children in her belly might have cost Emperor Haoxuan a lot of money.
Since she became pregnant, her already cold heart has boiled again, and the queen feels that she can fight for decades more.
But if possible, she hoped that Emperor Haoxuan would pay the price for a longer period of time.
For Yu Guang, the Queen was always grateful in her heart.
On the premise of not harming her own interests, she is willing to provide some convenience to Yu Guangxing.
I knew the thing was brought into the palace from the corner of my eye.
Early the next morning, the queen called the concubines below to pay her respects for the first time.
The purpose is to show off the fresh items given by Emperor Xiuhaoxuan.
Sure enough, the concubines' eyes were fixed on that sweater and shawl.
Although the emperor did not give this thing, they still had to have it, and they must ask their father and brothers at home to find it for them when they return.
What's more, His Majesty has paid a lot of attention to Uncle Changbei recently, and they also want to remind the family to pay more attention to Uncle Changbei.
After the concubines left, the nun came over and asked the queen in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what should I do with these clothes?"
The queen's eyes swept over the clothes lightly: "Put it away."
Although this dress is novel, it neither suits her identity nor her temperament. It's okay if someone helps push it around, but you can wear it yourself.
Obviously His Majesty should have the same considerations, but why is Your Majesty so concerned about this matter!
After going down to court, several officials began to whisper among themselves: "Have you seen that your Majesty has been wearing those furry clothes for two days?"
"Yes, my wife got a letter from Liu Jieyu, saying that His Majesty has recently fallen in love with this material called sweaters and asked me to help her find a few pieces."
"I heard that this thing was donated by the Marquis of Changbei. Could it be that we have to go to Beidi? The road there is not easy."
"You are still worried that the road is not easy to walk. You know that Liu Meiren is the granddaughter of the Zhao family of the imperial merchant. They have sent people to look for her."
