Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

Little Dumpling returned to the house, sat down, and took out his notebook and brushes. He began to draw adult down jackets, imagining what future generations of men and women would wear. He quickly devised a design for a thick, ultra-thin down jacket. He then had his uncle make several human-like wooden frames. After wrapping them with strips of cloth until they were smooth, he placed the clothes on them, using them as models. He placed them in a prominent spot in the store.

Ultra-thin down jackets, both large and small, were available. Thickened, padded coats, perfect for the twelfth lunar month, reached to the ankles. Both men and women had them. The shop was packed with people. Yingchun was selling out, Dongshuang was selling, and Xiaotuanzi was selling standing on the table. Several women were busy selling clothes, while the family was busy making clothes. Old Mrs. Li even came to help. Guoguo bought the zipper. It saved me from sewing buttons.

The men's and women's windbreakers are also a big hit. The machines create fine stitching. Xiao Nai Bao has also designed a wool-lined, leather-padded coat, exclusively for men, for 10,000 taels of silver. A mid-size wool-padded coat costs 8,000 taels of silver. These are all leather-padded jackets, so expensive!

The bustling scene didn't stop until the first day of the Lunar New Year when the shop closed. Someone even asked, "When will the shop open after the Lunar New Year?" "On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year." "Okay, remember to leave some clothes for me." "Got it."

After a month and a half, Guoguo settled the accounts and found that she had earned a total of 300 million taels of silver. The female workers were rewarded with 100 taels of silver, and the workers were paid 10 taels for a month. They also received a coat, 2 kilograms of candy, 50 kilograms of meat, and 10 kilograms of eggs. People from their families helped to take the gifts home. The people who helped in the palace received the same rewards except that they received half the amount. Cheers of joy! Hello, Guoguo! The day before the New Year, Xiaotuanzi said, "We will go back to work on the eighth day of the first lunar month and have a seven-day holiday. Everyone, you have worked hard and have a good rest. Go home."

Ahhhhh! …

Wang Youzhi of Xiaowangzhuang came and took away five carts of gifts, including five pounds of pork, thirty pounds of flour and thirty pounds of rice for each person.

Little Tuanzi summoned all the black-clad men from the mountain to stay at Chai's residence, giving each of them two sets of cotton-padded clothes and two sets of woven outer garments. They ate from a large pot cooked by the chef at Ye's residence. The children were especially precious, well-fed and warmly clothed, and each child received two eggs daily. Neither of the two teachers returned home, spending the New Year at Chai's residence.

This year, the Chai Mansion was bustling with activity, filled with children. On the first day of the new year, they went to the Imperial Palace for a banquet. Chai Zhen, Jiayu, Guoguo, and Li Dong all wore down jackets instead of official uniforms, looking naturally fresh and unique. Amidst the ancients, a few stars fell, dazzling the eyes. Several women also took a fancy to Jiayu, and the cunning little girl, Dumpling, was almost inseparable from him. He had become a hotbed of bad luck for the fourth son. Ye Heng was delighted to see this, and felt relieved!

Guoguo personally gave the emperor a down jacket and a woolen coat.

The Emperor wore it all winter long, never feeling cold. He kept himself warm. Not to mention Lucy, whom Little Dumpling treated like a mother, giving her plenty of cotton-padded jackets, down jackets, and windbreakers. With face creams and masks, Lucy looked like a young woman in her twenties. The Emperor was so delighted that he couldn't take his eyes off her.

With the little girl around, all the plots were in vain. The visitors to the Chai family were all happy to play, eat and drink.

The Emperor had a seven-day holiday, with the fifteenth and three days remaining. Lu Xi, the Emperor, also changed into her ordinary clothes—a modern down jacket—and went to the Chai Mansion. She played hide-and-seek, singing, and other activities with Old Lady Li, Chai Zhen, Ye Heng, and the children until dark, when they returned to the palace. The Emperor asked, "Xixi, are you happy today?" Lu Xi replied, "Yes, it feels like I'm back in my childhood. Thinking back to the past makes me so nostalgic. Our Xiaodong will have a good life!" The Emperor said, "He will definitely be fine. You think he went there voluntarily? Just look at the Chai family and you'll know Xiaodong will be happy." Lu Xi replied, "Indeed. When your son suffered as a child, he's no longer free to rule his own way and has to think about the people of the world." The Emperor said, "Xixi, don't worry. I will do my best to give him a well-governed country and train a group of talented people to help him." Lu Xi replied, "I know you'll do well." The Emperor replied, "Don't worry. Xiaodong isn't as fragile as you think. The Grand Tutor and the Champion Scholar are teaching him, and the leader of my secret guards is there too. Don't worry." Lu Xi replied, "Yes." Emperor: Let's rest! Hmm... A harmonious and beautiful scene, falling asleep.
