When Song Jinshu and others appeared, Liu Jingmo stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

"Master Zhou, this is the son of the Liu family, the richest family in Jingyang County, and the owner of a clothing workshop. He heard you were coming and came here to keep you company."

Regardless of their relationship in private, Song Jinshu addressed Zhou Taifu with respect in public.

Upon hearing this, Grand Tutor Zhou carefully observed Liu Jingmo. He was a handsome young man. Although he was still young, he was neither humble nor arrogant when facing them. He was quite good.

No wonder he was able to collaborate with Song Jinshu to create such a good thing as cotton-padded jackets.

"That's right! Since Mr. Liu is here, please accompany me and give me a detailed introduction."

He would definitely report such a good thing as the cotton-padded jacket after returning to Kyoto. As for the credit, Song Jinshu would of course take the most credit.

Liu Jingmo smiled and walked behind Song Jinshu consciously.

In just a few days, he deeply realized the huge profits and benefits of cotton-padded clothes.

It originally belonged to Song Jinshu, so she could report it to the court if she wanted to.

In short, he has already gained a great advantage, and Song Jinshu's position will not allow her to abandon the people of the world for the sake of profit.

He does not expect this, but can only do his best to do the best within the limited scope of his rights and interests.

No matter when the cotton-padded jacket becomes known, people will never forget that the Liu family in Jingyang County was the first to make it.

Song Jinshu didn't know what Liu Jingmo was thinking, but she knew that she would insist on doing so.

Because her original intention was not to monopolize the cotton clothing market.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

When we got off the bus, heavy snow started falling from the sky again.

Fortunately, there was no ice on the road and the snow was not completely covered for the time being, so there was no need to worry about the slippery road after visiting the workshop.

Liu Jingmo personally brought them in to observe. When he saw the scene inside the house, Master Zhou couldn't help but feel surprised.

Song Jinshu explained at the right moment: "Making cotton-padded clothes and quilts is a delicate job. Women are meticulous, skillful, and can create many different designs, making them the most suitable workers."

Tutor Zhou nodded in understanding. In the past, no matter what kind of work was suitable for women, there were very few, almost none. This was the first time he saw so many women gathered together to work.

He glanced at Song Jinshu inconspicuously. He was probably thinking that the reason why this clothing workshop only recruited female workers was what she wanted.

After just a quick glance at the workshop environment, Master Zhou didn't ask any more questions, and the few of them came to the most critical area.

This is the area where clothes are filled with cotton-padded clothes. As soon as you walk in, you will see cotton flying all over the sky.

There was a white mist in front of him, and Master Zhou was very puzzled. He walked over to the worker who was filling the cotton and observed carefully.

I saw the worker stuffing cotton into the clothes, and then patting them. In a short while, the originally thin clothes became several times thicker.

The finished product is none other than the popular cotton-padded jacket from Shunan Prefecture!

Grand Tutor Zhou was dumbfounded. He pointed at the cotton-padded jacket and stammered for a long time before finally saying tremblingly, "This...is this a cotton-padded jacket?"

Song Jinshu smiled and took the newly made cotton-padded jacket and handed it to him personally: "Taifu, why don't you touch it yourself and know for yourself?"

Tutor Zhou took the cotton coat with trembling hands, and then carefully observed every inch and every detail of the cotton coat.

Are you sure this is the cotton-padded jacket that people on the street wear?

He picked up a handful of cotton nearby. The feeling in his hand startled him. He asked excitedly and nervously, "What is this? I just saw it stuffed into clothes."

Song Jinshu looked at Tutor Zhou with a smile and gave him an expression that said, "It's just as you thought."

"This white stuff is called cotton. It's the most important filling material for our cotton-padded clothes and quilts. It keeps us warm and can be worn even in sub-zero temperatures."

While listening, Master Zhou held the cotton in his hands and was reluctant to put it down.

At this moment, he was in tears, crying and laughing, which scared the workers in the private room.

Song Jinshu waved his hand and asked them to go down first and clear the place to prevent others from seeing Master Zhou's misconduct.

After he recovered, Song Jinshu sighed helplessly. She really didn't expect that Master Zhou would cry!

Master Zhou wiped away his tears, picked up the cotton again, and looked at Song Jinshu with a smile: "Xiao Song, your blessing is still to come!"

Song Jinshu:?

She almost thought she had put it on again. Lao Zhou, you are good at making jokes.

"Can I buy a cotton coat?"

Song Jinshu immediately refused, and said with a helpless smile: "No need to buy, if you want a few pieces, put them on my account. Jingmo, you can have someone come over to take Master Zhou's measurements and make a few more pieces!"

Liu Jingmo agreed, turned around and told his servants to do it, and then continued to accompany him.

Later they visited the quilt-making area. Unlike the crowded cotton-padded clothes area, the quilt-making area occupied a more open space and the people were more dispersed.

Tutor Zhou witnessed the cotton manufacturing process and the cotton-fluffing process, and every step amazed him.

They spent the whole day in the workshop. On the way back from the workshop, Master Zhou still looked very excited.

The next morning, the ground was covered with a thin layer of snow.

Song Jinshu felt playful and stepped on it lightly, causing it to creak.

She spent another half an hour with Song Yunrong to build a snowman, and finally went to the county government office with satisfaction.

When I arrived, Lu Ruoyu had already been there for a long time.

Sitting next to him was Master Zhou, leisurely drinking tea and appreciating the snow. The others were also in their seats, doing their own work.

Song Jinshu suddenly felt guilty. She used to be the boss and it didn't matter if she was often late or slacking off.

But Taifu Zhou came from Kyoto to deliver the imperial edict to the emperor. In front of him, Song Jinshu felt as embarrassed as being late for work in modern times and meeting his boss.

Tutor Zhou raised his head and glanced at Song Jinshu, who looked like a child who had done something wrong and felt guilty.

His smile remained unchanged as he waved, "Xiao Song! Come and sit down!"

Song Jinshu remained seated, and Grand Tutor Zhou suddenly asked, "Do you want to go to Kyoto to serve as an official?"

"Ah?" Song Jinshu was shocked, and even Lu Ruoyu looked up at her.

"It's okay, take your time to think about it. It's not too late to tell me when you've figured it out."

Song Jinshu was silent for a moment, thought carefully, and then shook his head firmly: "No!"

"What...?" Grand Tutor Zhou swallowed his draft in an instant, and asked in confusion, "Why? If you go to Kyoto, you'll be at the top of the world, at the feet of the emperor, with everything you want. Why wouldn't you want that?"

Master Zhou was really defeated. It was a pity that he had thought about it for a long time yesterday, thinking about how to persuade her to hand over the cotton.

Then he made a detailed plan for her future official career, but he went wrong in the first step.

Song Jinshu hesitated for a moment, then frowned in pain: "Although the emperor's feet are prosperous, there are too many people. If I, a person with no background or backing, go there, I will be like an ant, and everyone will step on me to death."

"Besides, there are too many rules in the Imperial City, and no freedom. I am so lucky now..."
