Chapter 27: Warm silk

Back at the house of Guangzhaifang, Qin Jiu sent loquats to imprison durian and cherry separately.
Qin Jiu did not interrogate Cherry again, because she already knew that Cherry was working for Yao Xier, and she wanted to kill her, but also obeying Yao Xier's order. Cherry really hates Tianchenzong, which Qin Jiu is convinced. Naturally, this kind of hatred is not just as she said, because Tianchen Sect has a conspiracy to rebel, there should be something else. Since you hate so much, why do you work so Yao Xier? Qin Jiu couldn't ask Cherry directly about this matter, because Cherry didn't know that Qin Jiu already knew she was Yao Xier's.
So Qin Jiu asked the loquat to keep the cherry and the durian together, hoping that the durian could get more clues from the cherry.
On the second day, Qin Jiu interrogated durian.
"Lian'er, Cherry's life is now in your hands. I have something to ask you. If the answer is good, I will let her go and let you be a hero to save the United States. How about?" Qin Jiu asked.
Durian has experienced the torment of fear all night, and he is obviously haggard today, and has long lost the aggressive aura of yesterday in the carriage. His eyes were full of horror, but his mouth didn't ask for mercy at all, and he still said disdainfully: "My little master doesn't believe what you treacherous and ruthless demon said."
Qin Jiu sighed softly, turned his eyes, and chuckled: "It turns out that Lian'er sees me like this. If it is treacherous and cruel, then you must answer truthfully. If you tell a lie, I will let the loquat Chop off the cherries with one hand, say a few words, then chop two, say three words, and chop both hands and feet together!"
This sentence, durian believed. He was panicked and said with his neck: "What happened yesterday was the fault of the little master. The little master fell drunk to the ground in Linglong Pavilion, but was not completely confused. He heard Pavilion Master Mu tell you that Tong Man was ready. , I want you to go to the Princess Zhaoping Courtyard of Jiuman Mountain. I thought this boy, including Xiaoye, was going to sneak away. I didn't want to run into Cherry, so I told Cherry about the matter and let her escape with me. Cherry said that we can't escape, she told me not to be afraid and said she would save me. Cherry was just to save me and didn't betray you. You can't kill her."
Qin Jiu had guessed how things were going, she smiled slightly and said, "Master Durian, that's how Cherry is going to get rid of this demon girl in order to save you? Then what did she say about the evil things of Tianchen Sect? "
Durian snorted coldly: "Your Tianchen Sect has taken a fancy to Cherry's martial arts qualifications. In order to admit her into the Sect, you killed her whole family, leaving only her younger brother. They said that if she did not perform well, she had to treat her. Brother started."
Qin Jiu's face paled when he heard the words.
Little brother!
Brother!
She closed her eyes, and a small pink face appeared in front of her, a pair of black eyes were turning wisely, and she called her sister with milk.
Qin Jiu's eyes blurred, she held up the tea cup, and used the water vapor contained in the tea to condense the water vapor in her eyes.
In this way, Cherry was forced to enter the Tianchen Sect. Her brother was in Yao Xier's hands, so she obeyed Yao Xier's words.
Qin Jiu slowly put the tea cup down, squinted his eyes and said, "How come I have never heard of this before, and the lord must not know it. If this matter is true, I must report to the lord and never let this happen. Things happen."
When Durian heard the words, a pair of eyes suddenly gleamed, and he asked urgently: "Can you spare the cherry?"
Qin Jiu's face condensed, and he groaned for a moment: "No wonder Cherry has such a prejudice against our Tianchen Sect. This matter is excusable. You can release the cherry later. However, you remember to tell her if there is another next time. , She will definitely die."
Durian was overwhelmed when he heard that, "So, Jiuye, you...really want to spare the cherry?"
Qin Jiu smiled and said, "Lian'er, you are also seventeen this year. There are some things, don't just listen with your ears, but see with your eyes."
Durian looked at Qin Jiu in surprise, savoring the meaning of her words.
"Go down!" Qin Jiu said, lazily closing his eyes.
The durian stood there for a while without moving.
"You...you don't kill me?" Durian asked carefully.
Qin Jiu opened his eyes and squinted at him and asked, "So Lian'er wants to be killed so much. So, my new method of murder..." Before finishing speaking, Durian jumped up and said loudly: " Jiuye, the minion didn't say anything just now. The minion will go down here." After saying this, he jumped out like a rabbit.
In the corridor outside the Nuan Pavilion, Huang Mao was standing on a shelf and napping in the sun.
Durian was in a good mood and couldn't help feeling the hair on his yellow hair.
Huang Mao woke up all of a sudden, his feathers erected all over, and he tilted his neck and said, "Get out of the way, don't touch my fur, Xiaoye!"
Durian is silly.
When did Huang Mao become a young master.
Qin Jiu put down the cherry and durian matter. As for how Cherry should explain this to Yao Xier, that is her business, but Qin Jiu thought that Cherry would definitely conceal this.
After Qin Jiu recovered from his injury, he went to work in Sizhifang every day.
Sizhifang is divided into needle industry bureau, weaving and dyeing bureau, and purchasing bureau.
Qin Jiu is the head of Sizhifang, and he is in charge of the following three bureaus. Among them, the Bureau of Needlework and the Bureau of Weaving and Dyeing are all female officials in the palace, one Ning Shu and one Li Xiangrong. The supervisor of the Procurement Bureau is an named Cao Fushun.
The three bureaus of Sizhifang are very busy every day, but Qin Jiu's head is indeed an idle job, and he only needs to go around once a day.
On this day, Qin Jiu went to the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau and saw a white silk weaving in the weaving workshop.
This white silk is woven with double-layer silk threads, the fabric is thick, its texture is soft and soft, and the color is crystal clear as jade.
Qin Jiu is an expert in weaving, dyeing and embroidery. When he touched this white silk, his heart moved slightly. Could it be that the silk thread of this white silk came from the warm silk of Yunshao country?
Yunshao Country is located in the south of Dayu, where the lakes and rivers in the country are vertical and horizontal, and the climate is mild, suitable for planting mulberries and silkworms, so Yunshao Country is rich in silk. But this kind of warm silk is a specialty of Yunshao country. It is vomited by a warm silkworm born in hot and humid regions. This kind of silk does not feel cold and cold like other silks, but has a hint of warmth. It is most suitable Make winter jackets. But this kind of silkworm is extremely difficult to feed, so the output of this kind of silk thread is extremely low, which makes the warm silk kind of silk silk to the point where it is difficult to find. Only the royal family of Yunshao country can get it.
She was naturally afraid of the cold. Back then, she wanted to get such a shirt made of warm silk, but she never got it. She didn't expect to see it at the Textile and Dyeing Bureau today.
"Ms. Li, this white silk thread is warm silk from Yunshao country. I don't know how the Purchasing Bureau bought it?" Qin Jiu asked Li Xiangrong, the head of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau who followed her with some surprise.
Li Xiangrong is not very old, but in his twenties, he is born with eyebrows and apricots, and looks very shrewd. Hearing Qin Jiu’s question, he hurriedly replied in a clear voice:
President Qin, father Cao doesn’t have the ability to buy this warm silk. I heard that it was sent by His Royal Highness Anling and asked us to weave and dye it. Double layers of white silk, and then the needlework bureau will make a dress."
"It turned out to be sent by King Anling. So, he must make dresses for his mother and concubine. You have to supervise them carefully." Qin Jiu said with a smile.
"Zhang Shi Qin guessed wrong this time. Empress Xian always pays homage to the Buddha. She can't wear this dress. King Anling made this dress for Miss Su. The 20th of the first lunar month is Lijing’s famous snow praying festival. , Miss Su is going to come on stage to pray for snow. Qin, you first arrived at Lijing, you must not know the snow festival!"
Qin Jiu squinted and prayed for the Snow Festival, she knew too much!
