Chapter 351 Satisfaction
After much deliberation, Lin Xuan didn't even think about what to give.
Too common is not good, and there are not many uncommon and suitable wedding gifts.
Lin Xuan pulled out his treasure chest to see if there was anything suitable as a gift.
Chunyue came in with a tiger skin in her arms, and said, "Master, the temperature is cooling down a bit today, and this servant will bring you a tiger skin."
cool down?
Lin Xuan's eyes lit up. In addition to cotton seeds, he also brought back more than 1 catties of cotton from Gaochang.
Isn't it a good gift to make a few quilts?
"Chunyue, you have helped me a lot." Lin Xuan hugged Chunyue and kissed her on the cheek.
"Ah~"
Chunyue was startled by Lin Xuan's sudden movement, her face turned rosy.
"My lord, the servant didn't do anything." Chunyue said in a daze.
Lin Xuan smiled and said: "You didn't do anything, but your words gave me a lot of inspiration and let me solve a headache."
After finishing speaking, leaving Chunyue puzzled, Lin Xuan went to find his mother.
When he came to the courtyard where his mother lived, Lin Xuan stopped a maid and asked, "Has my mother come back?"
Zhang Qing would go to Chang'an City every afternoon without hesitation, and play mahjong with Mrs. Xue and the others.
At this time, it should be almost time to come back.
The maid replied: "Go back to your son, Madam hasn't come back yet."
Lin Xuan waved his hand, sent the maid away, and waited in the hall.
After waiting for a cup of tea, Zhang Qing walked in with a smile on his face.
"Mother, it looks like I won a lot this afternoon." Lin Xuan laughed.
Zhang Qing said: "Mother won 73 papers today."
"Great!"
This is not Lin Xuan's bragging. One penny for one penny and two pennies for one penny. He won 73 pennies in one afternoon. He was really lucky.
Zhang Qing laughed happily. Although she didn't care about this little money at all, the feeling of winning was very satisfying.
"Mother, you won't win every day, be careful that no one will play with you." Lin Xuan said.
Zhang Qing waved his hand and said, "How can it be possible to win every day? Sometimes you are unlucky, and you often lose. Generally speaking, there is no winning or losing."
That's good, he asked Zhang Qing to find someone to play mahjong with Mrs. Xue because Mrs. Xue didn't know anyone in Chang'an.
If Mrs. Xue loses too much money and she is too embarrassed not to play, that would be bad.
Zhang Qing asked: "Isn't that why you came to find your mother just to ask this?"
Lin Xuan said, "Mom, I need your help with something."
Lin Xuan told Zhang Qing about making quilts and cotton clothes.
Zhang Qing said in surprise: "Is that thing really so magical?"
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Of course, mother, you will know when you try it."
"According to the quantity you mentioned, there are not enough people in the family, so we need to find more people." Zhang Qing said.
Lin Xuan had no choice, not to mention his own family needs, and the palace would send a lot of them.
And those who have a good relationship have to send some over there.
"Mother, it's okay if there are not enough people, just find some in Zhouzhuang." Lin Xuan said.
Those women in Zhouzhuang certainly don't know much about the delicate work of embroidery, but ordinary sewing is still no problem.
Just let them be responsible for sewing quilt covers and clothes, and let the servants in the family do the embroidery.
Zhang Qing nodded and said, "There is no problem with the quilt, but do you know the size of the cotton coat?"
"Mother, we can just make the cotton clothes from our own family. Then I will send some white folded clothes from house to house and let them make them themselves." Lin Xuan said.
Cotton clothes are simple, you only need to fill them with cotton and sew them up, and you can understand them as soon as you talk about them.
But quilts are different, he can't teach from door to door.
Zhang Qing said: "Mother knows, I will arrange someone to do it tomorrow."
"Mother, Chu Mo and the others are getting married soon, you can ask someone to make some red quilts, embroider happy characters on them, and some festive gestures, and I will give them to them when the time comes." Lin Xuan said .
Zhang Qing's eyes lit up, and he said angrily: "You child, why do you only think about others, and you are getting married soon, why don't you say it."
"Mother, just figure it out." Lin Xuan said.
The next day, Zhang Qing started to make a fuss.
Whether it is making a quilt or a cotton padded jacket, it is very simple. Lin Xuan gave some guidance on the spot, and after teaching, he came to Zhou Mancang's house.
"I've seen Lord Hou." Zhou Mancang saluted respectfully.
In the past, he was respectful to Lin Xuan because of Lin Xuan's status, but now it comes from the heart.
The Lin family reduced the rent for them, so that they will not be short of food this year.
Lin Xuan built the Zhaizi Academy and Medical Center, and the people of Zhouzhuang made some extra money.
The people in Zhouzhuang this year can be described as very rich.
For them, being able to eat a full meal and occasionally eating a meal of meat is considered rich.
Lin Xuan said: "Zhou Lizheng doesn't need to be too polite. I came to you this time to ask you for a favor."
"Your Majesty, you are being polite. If you have anything to do, you can just give me an order." Zhou Mancang said.
Lin Xuan said: "I need some people who can needlework and some people who can grow vegetables, the more people we can make an appointment with."
Zhou Mancang nodded, and said: "The women in the village know all these jobs, so I'll help Lord Hou do the work."
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Please excuse Zhou Lizheng."
Zhou Mancang smiled all over his face and said, "We should thank Lord Hou."
The men in the village are now working on the construction site of the medical center, and now the women are also working. This year will definitely be a good year.
……
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhang came to Xue's house together.
Mrs. Xue was very surprised by the arrival of the two of them.
"Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Lin sent someone to deliver a letter in the morning, saying that something happened recently and she couldn't come to play mahjong. Didn't she inform you?" Mrs. Xue asked suspiciously.
Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "Mrs. Lin sent someone to notify us, but we thought that Mrs. Lin would not know how long she would be busy this time, why don't we find another one?"
"That's right, we have a sister, let's call to fight together, and we'll fight again when Mrs. Lin finishes her work." Mrs. Zhang echoed.
Both of them are merchants, and they were neighbors of the Lin family in the past.
Since the Lin family was knighted, they have been different from them.
Back then they were called by Zhang Qing to play with a peasant woman. Although they looked down on Mrs. Xue in their hearts, they readily agreed in order to curry favor with Zhang Qing.
Although the status of merchants is the lowest, merchants look down on farmers who are higher than them.
What if your status is high?They have money, so they are not like those mud legs, who worry about making a living all day long.
But since Xue Rengui was confiscated, they have one more person to fawn on.
Mrs. Xue shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, Madams, I'm too busy arranging marriages for Rengui recently, so I can't play anymore. Why don't you take mahjong home and find someone else to play?"
In order to save trouble, mahjong has been kept in Xue's house.
Mrs. Xue didn't like playing mahjong, but she knew that Zhang Qing came to her to play mahjong with good intentions. In order to live up to Zhang Qing's kindness, she did not refuse.
But her words are not all excuses, she is indeed preparing for Xue Rengui's marriage.
Although Xue Rengui didn't say anything, how could she not understand her own son.
From Xue Rengui's period of time, she often went home to live, and she knew that it would not be long before she would go to the battlefield again.
Although Xue Rengui is the only son in the family, he shoulders the responsibility of shining the lintel of the family.
She couldn't stop it, so she wanted to get married as soon as possible. If she could leave a queen for the Xue family before going to the battlefield, even if there was an emergency, the Xue family would not be cut off.
