A Luo was slightly startled and said: "Gege, do you really plan to let everyone in the house make cotton-padded clothes?"
Xianyue glanced at her sideways and said, "What's wrong, you don't want to?"
A Luo said quickly: "This is not what I mean, but I am worried about you, Gege. Although there are not many people in the house, they are not easy to deal with. I am afraid that there will be many words that will be detrimental to you, Gege."
"No, you are wrong." Xianyue smiled strangely, "If those people really say something, they will only be disadvantaged. In fact, in the final analysis, whether it is the matter of cotton-padded clothes, Concubine Xi or the prince will not be affected.
They are happy to see the results, and the more they do, the happier they will be. If someone in the family talks a lot about this matter and it reaches the ears of the prince, what do you think will be the result?"
In fact, she didn't do anything wrong by making cotton-padded clothes to please Ling Ruo, but she shouldn't be eager to show off and carry her alone. Now that Ling Ruo had taught her such a lesson, she thought of another way.
A Luo suddenly said: "I understand, I understand, Ge Ge is really a good plan."
"A good plan? This is far from being said." Xianyue leaned on the carriage and said casually: "Since we are going to do it, we should simply make this matter bigger."
"Make it bigger?" A Luo repeated this sentence blankly, "Didn't Gege already plan to have the whole government make cotton-padded clothes together? How much bigger should it be?"
Xianyue casually said something that made A Luo unable to recover for a long time, "How is the whole capital?"
Xianyue didn't just talk nonsense. After returning to the house and telling Mingyu that she wanted the whole house to help sew cotton-padded clothes, she asked her to leave the house, saying that she wanted to go to the acquaintance's house to talk about it and let them help sew together.
, the sooner the cotton-padded clothes are sewn, the sooner the border officers can wear them. They are already pitiful in fighting desperately for the Qing Dynasty, how can we let them lose their lives due to the cold again.
Mingyu was greatly moved by her words, and even though she wanted to go to various mansions with her to lobby, Xianyue said that as a direct descendant of Fujin, she should not show up in such publicity, as it would probably attract criticism, so it was better for her to come forward in everything.
.
Mingyu had always trusted her. Not only did he not have any doubts, he also felt pity for her, fearing what she would do if she was rejected or rejected.
Regarding this, Xianyue just smiled lightly and said: "Fujin, I don't have to worry about my concubine status. It doesn't matter even if I am rejected. As long as I do my best and live up to my conscience, that's enough."
"I told you not to call me your direct descendant Fujin in private." Mingyu shook her hand and said, "Since you have made up your mind, go ahead. I will arrange the things in the house properly, and I will also arrange the cotton cloth and cotton."
Have someone go to the Ministry of War to get it."
"Then I'll trouble my sister." After saying this, Xianyue took A Luo out of the palace. When she was still living in the British palace, she followed Yingge and met many dignitaries. Although it has been so long,
, and the fact that she betrayed Ying Ge, it is somewhat inappropriate to see her again, but in order to accomplish what she wants to do, she will do it no matter how embarrassing or difficult it is.
In addition to these, there were also some unfamiliar princes' mansions that they wanted to go to. Xianyue rode a carriage outside for most of the day and didn't go out until it was almost dark. Although she went to seven or eight houses, she was willing to agree.
There were only two families, and the rest either excused the absence of the person, or just ignored her and refused to accept her words.
As Ling Ruo said, Xianyue is a smart person. She knows when to advance and when to retreat. She did not dwell on it. Instead, she went to those mansions that refused to agree on the next day and discussed the interests with them.
, those people are always there
As an official in the court, who doesn't want to make a good impression in front of Yinzhen? Moreover, it is nothing more than asking the female family members and girls in the palace to do some needlework. It won't hinder anything, so after Xianyue's explanation, she finally agreed.
.
After running like this for three days, Xianyue visited almost all the large and small mansions in the capital. Although it took a lot of words, she finally convinced them one by one. She even went to Hong Zhou's mansion. After learning that
After she arrived, Hong Zhou didn't say anything, but ordered someone to go to the Ministry of War immediately to get materials and cotton to sew cotton clothes.
The only one who didn't go in was Prince Ding's Mansion. When passing by again, A Luo said: "Gege, are you really not going to go in to Prince Ding's Mansion?"
Xianyue glanced at the slightly silent Prince Ding's palace through the car curtain, and said indifferently: "If I didn't know that Prince Ding had a feud with Prince Ding, I might still go in, but now that I know, it's really not appropriate to go in. Besides, Er A
It can be said that my loss of power was caused by me, do you think he will have a good attitude towards me?"
A Luo nodded and said, "That's true. I just feel that without this family, Ge Ge's affairs this time seem to be missing something perfect."
Xianyue clapped her hands carelessly and said: "There are so many perfections in the world. It's almost enough. Go back home quickly. If I just sit around and don't do anything, then I will really cause gossip."
A Luo said dullly: "Obviously this matter has nothing to do with Gege, but Gege has worked hard and hard. I don't know if the prince and Concubine Xi will succeed in inheriting Gege."
Xianyue helped her straighten a silver hairpin on her bun, and said with a chuckle: "Why are you so unsure of me? Don't worry, this matter is such a big deal, it will reach their ears sooner or later, and they will have to accept it if they don't accept it."
Accept."
A Luo shook his head and said: "I don't mean that, I'm afraid that Concubine Xi will say 'the cleverness will be misled by the cleverness', which is really not worth it."
"Okay, I have my own sense of responsibility on this matter, don't say any more." After saying this, Xianyue closed her eyes to rest, and Aluo had no choice but to keep silent.
Xianyue's hard work paid off after half a month. All the mansions handed over the finished cotton-padded clothes to the Ministry of War. Among them, Prince Bao's Palace made the most, making more than 700 pieces, and the smallest one made 700 pieces.
More than 100 pieces. Surprisingly, the Engagement Prince's Palace also sent people to send more than 500 pieces of cotton-padded clothes. In total, there are as many as 20,000 pieces.
In addition to those in the palace and the Ministry of War, they finally collected 100,000 pieces at the beginning of December. After the Secretary of the Ministry of War reported to Yinzhen, he immediately sent someone to send the cotton-padded clothes to the border. A rough estimate is that before the end of December
It can definitely be delivered, which is a full month earlier than expected. In other words, it can protect the soldiers from the coldest period.
With such a result, Yinzhen was undoubtedly the happiest. In addition to ordering the commendation to the Ministry of War, he also knew Xiayue's efforts in it. Although he could not say that he liked Hongli that much, but after all,
one
At least she did a great job in this matter, so there was no reason not to reward her. It was just that she had already been promoted to Fu Jin and could not be promoted further in her position, so after some thought, Yinzhen specially gave her the title "Xian"
