Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard
Chapter 77: Thanks to Muzina and Obasanni for the reward, 1 more chapter
As soon as the court was dismissed, Xu Jinyu went straight to Wei An's house and told Wei An the good news that he had become an official.
By the way, I discussed with Wei An about opening a glass workshop.
It was already dusk when we returned to the county lady's mansion. As soon as we entered the door, Manager He, who was in charge of wool, came to greet us with a smile.
"County Lady, wool sweaters and wool pants have been manufactured and tested. They are not much worse than fur in keeping warm."
"Your wool sweaters and wool pants should be made of the finest and softest wool."
As he spoke, Manager He held up a few woolen sweaters for Xu Jinyu to see. As soon as Xu Jinyu touched them, she knew that the sweaters handed to her were no longer woolen sweaters, but cashmere sweaters, which solved her problem of keeping warm in winter.
It only took a few days for Manager He and Manager Liu to get the clothes out. They were really fast.
Xu Jinyu quickly asked: "How much did you get?"
"I have woven about a hundred pieces, but there is not much wool left."
"Then continue to purchase wool and continue to knit sweaters. I want everyone in Beijing to be able to wear sweaters and trousers this winter." Xu Jinyu waved his hand and gave the order.
Manager He glanced at Xu Jinyu carefully and said, "It's impossible to buy... buy. After you submitted the petition that the wool can be used to make sweaters, all the sheep near the capital were shaved."
"With the method of making sweaters, many sheep farmers shave the wool for their own use and do not intend to sell it."
Xu Jinyu was stunned for a moment before he remembered that he had submitted the memorial. The emperor would definitely make it public so that everyone knew the function of wool. Whether to sell it or not was a question.
Besides, this was ancient times, and there weren't that many people raising sheep near the capital, and people in other places probably didn't know that wool could be used to make sweaters.
Seeing Xu Jinyu stunned, Manager He quickly added: "Manager Liu has already negotiated with the caravan to purchase the wool. It will take about a month to ship it back, and the cost of the sweaters will also increase."
Xu Jinyu couldn't help but laugh. The steward assigned by the Crown Princess was very capable and could get things done without her having to figure out how to do it herself.
Xu Jinyu patted Manager He on the shoulder and praised him: "You two did a great job. You and the workers in the workshop can each get two sets of knitted sweaters and trousers. Sell the rest and make back your investment."
Manager He was so happy that he was about to kneel down to express his gratitude, but Xu Jinyu grabbed him.
"Work hard, there is a glass workshop waiting for you in the back."
After Manager He stood up, he looked at Xu Jinyu hesitantly, wanting to say something.
Xu Jinyu asked cheerfully: "Just tell me what you want to say."
Manager He raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the palace: "Do you want to send some of these sweaters to the palace?"
"what!"
Xu Jinyu was dumbfounded. Such good things should be given to the emperor first.
I kept muttering in my heart: "I am so poor, why should I send it to the emperor? It is better to sell it."
coming! coming!
The sweat on Manager He's back was pouring down like crazy. The county lady started to complain about His Majesty again. Her life is also her life. Damn it, stop complaining. Your voice is still so loud, be careful that someone will report you.
Seeing the reluctance on Xu Jinyu's face, Manager He forced a smile and tried to dissuade her.
"This is a good thing to present. According to past practice, His Majesty will reward it. It will definitely be more valuable than sweaters and trousers."
"real?"
Xu Jinyu's smile suddenly became sincere. Although she was just a simple college student, even poor college students would not do anything without benefits.
"I think so!"
Manager He answered in a tone of doubt and uncertainty, not daring to be too sure. Apart from anything else, His Majesty was particularly stingy when it came to the county lord's affairs.
As for the reason, everyone knows it.
"Then send a few to the emperor, and a few to the East Palace. It's up to you to decide."
Manager He heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this and let her decide the quantity. She was afraid that the county lady would only give His Majesty one item, and His Majesty would definitely not reward the county lady.
"Second sister."
"Master Xu."
As soon as Steward He was sent away, Xu Feiyu and Xu Yanran came to the door with Nanny He who served the Crown Princess.
As soon as Nanny He saw Xu Jinyu, she smiled and gave her a pile of clothes and jewelry that she would need for the next day.
Looking at those complicated clothes and jewelry, Xu Jinyu made a bitter face.
"Madame He, can I wear my official uniform?"
These things are beautiful, but the prerequisite is that Xu Jinyu sits still.
She had not received any education as a lady of nobility, so it would have been amazing for her not to fall down while wearing official uniforms, not to mention her good manners.
Nanny He's smile remained unmoved: "County Lady, it is not appropriate to wear official uniform when you go to the Qingyang Marquis's mansion to attend a small banquet tomorrow."
"But I'm here on orders." Xu Jinyu still wanted to struggle.
"County Lady, you will be meeting the women of the Marquis of Qingyang's residence."
"What's wrong with meeting female relatives? I can't wear official uniform when meeting female relatives." Xu Jinyu muttered dissatisfiedly.
Nanny He took a deep breath and continued to persuade Xu Jinyu: "Not all women in the family are brave."
"A group of families of officials of the fifth rank and above can still be frightened by a sixth rank official like me."
Aunt He...
Nanny He was speechless. You wouldn't scare people if you wore an official uniform, but if you wore the official uniform and exposed all of someone's past, that would definitely scare people.
If you don’t know, you might think the emperor sent you to threaten someone.
Seeing that Nanny He's face was really not good, Xu Jinyu was embarrassed to embarrass Nanny He, "Then I will hold up my skirt when I walk, so as not to fall."
Nanny He looked at Xu Jinyu, who was only a little over three feet tall, and sighed. It was indeed difficult to ask the county lady to wear clothes that were too complicated.
"Then you can wear men's clothes, not official uniform." Nanny He took a step back.
"Row."
Nanny He did not leave after delivering the clothes. She would accompany Xu Jinyu to the Qingyang Marquis's house tomorrow and arrange tomorrow's travel arrangements.
Otherwise, with the county princess's temper, she could walk to the Marquis of Qingyang's Mansion tomorrow.
After sending Nanny He away, before Xu Jinyu asked Xu Feiyu what he was doing, Xu Yanran hurriedly asked, "Second sister, who was that just now? He looked so scary!"
Xu Jinyu looked back blankly, "Is it scary? Why didn't I feel anything? Nanny He is the nanny who serves the Crown Princess. She is a very nice person."
Very nice people, what nonsense are you talking about.
Xu Feiyu couldn't help but shiver.
That Nanny He is just being nice to you!
And the nanny who served the Crown Princess.
Xu Feiyu couldn't help but open his mouth wide. His sister was already so capable, so he had to speed up his pace. At least he had to be independent and not rely on his sister for everything.
After thinking about it, Xu Feiyu whispered to Xu Jinyu what she had been busy with these days. She was decorating her parents' courtyard herself, and she had already tidied up the remaining three courtyards so that they could be lived in.
Likewise, I have no money left.
Xu Jinyu grinned. She was really poor!
"So what do you plan to do in the future? Get married, or... Don't worry, I'm your sister, no matter what you want to do, no one dares to say anything to you."
Since he had occupied Xu Zhaodi's body, Xu Jinyu had the obligation to take care of her family.
"I want to be self-reliant and learn some knowledge, the knowledge I want to learn."
Xu Feiyu looked at Xu Jinyu with sparkling eyes. She remembered that Xu Jinyu once said that it only took her three years to master the three arts of music, chess, and painting. She wanted to see if she could become a talented woman who was proficient in all four arts if she studied hard.
Become a talented girl that your parents once envied.
As for what she would do after becoming a talented girl, Xu Feiyu didn't know, but this was what she wanted to do most now.
"good!"
Xu Jinyu was well prepared for Xu Feiyu. He took out a prescription from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Feiyu.
"Here is a recipe for tooth powder. You can make it and sell it. The money you earn will be enough for you to live comfortably. If you have any questions, please go to the manager of the county lord's mansion."
