Chapter 665 Cotton clothes

Chen Ningya was still distressed about their suffering, but Li said happily: "Although the journey is hard, we didn't endure much hardship. Your housekeepers always think of us, and they often cook **** tea for us on the road, but we don't have much trouble. How can I put sugar, your **** tea is good, sweetened with sugar, spicy and sweet, it's comfortable to drink!"

Chen Ningya was dumbfounded by Li's words, and she coaxed in a good-natured manner: "If you like it, I will let the servants cook it for you every day, and I will keep it warm in your room, and drink it whenever you want! "

   Mrs. Li was not polite to Chen Ningya, and responded directly.

  Chen Ningya smiled and asked Sun Baoer, "Is it **** the road?"

   "It's not hard." The eleven-year-old girl, with a thin stature, her eyes were large and bright, and she spoke the words of an old man in a serious manner, which made people feel distressed.

Chen Ningya smiled softly, patted her head, and then asked: "Bao'er and grandmother come here very rarely, will you tell Auntie about the village later? What do you want to eat and tell Sister Lan Silk? , she goes down to make arrangements, whatever you want to eat, you can say it, you're welcome."

  Sun Baoer nodded reservedly, looked at the blue silk who was looking at her with a smile, and said crisply: "My grandmother and I have eaten steamed buns and pancakes all the way, and now I want to drink porridge, any porridge will do."

Lan Shu pursed her lips and smiled, "Eating porridge is easy, just as a large batch of fresh seafood was delivered from Dizhou, the servants asked the kitchen to make you a seafood lean meat porridge with bijaponica rice, and then prepare some side dishes, is that possible? "

   "Okay!" Sun Baoer responded with a smile, listening to her voice and knowing how happy the girl was.

   Li Shi and Chen Ningya also laughed.

  Chen Ningya looked at the sky outside and said to Mrs. Li and the others, "Auntie, why don't you and Bao'er go back to take a hot bath first, to feel more comfortable, and then eat?"

   Mr. Li nodded casually, "You can arrange whatever you want. By the way, where is the mountain? Isn't he there?"

Chen Ningya shook her head amusedly, "It's almost New Year's Eve, he has a lot of entertainment, and there are other business matters that he needs to take care of. Yuan Liang is now reassigned to the Hanlin Academy to work with my eldest son-in-law. The month is getting older, and energy is limited. Yuan Hong is in Dizhou again. The second child's family is busy enough to take care of the two children and the general affairs of the house. I've provoked a girl, and I can't solve my troubles, let's go! We can't enjoy the happiness!"

   Mr. Li gave her a playful look, "You guys just love to worry! Otherwise, one day you won't be able to enjoy the happiness!"

Chen Ningya covered her face and chuckled, "Auntie, I can't say any more, otherwise you will be anxious with me, so you and Baoer go to wash first, and when you are done, Youshan and my aunt will come over. , just so everyone can sit down and talk."

   Mrs. Li immediately stood up when she heard the words, "I'll go now! By the way, where's my luggage? My and Bo'er's clothes are still inside!"

Speaking of clothes, Chen Ningya hurriedly said: "Auntie, you have all delivered to the yard where you live! But you should put away those clothes and don't wear them. I have prepared new clothes for you, so don't be too busy to refuse. You probably know that my parents' family is in Zhuya. There is now a plant called cotton. It can be used for weaving and filling clothes. It is warm to wear. I wear this one with cotton inside. Aozi, don’t say it, it’s really different. This thing was originally a tribute to the Empress from Lingnan, and some were sent to me, so you can try it too.”

   When he heard that it was a tribute, Mrs. Li shook her head in fright, "It's not possible, it's not possible, we are just plain-headed people where can we wear it, we should just wear our own clothes. Besides, this thing is expensive, and it's a waste to give it to us!"

Li Shi looked decisively refusing, and Lan Ling, who was standing beside Chen Ningya, hurriedly smiled and said, "Mrs. Sun, it's true that this thing is valuable outside, but it's not impossible to buy it. Lingnan only made it this year. Yes, the reason why I sent Da Qi was to use this thing to make money. If the Empress took the lead in wearing it, the people below would definitely follow suit, and the value of the cotton-padded clothes would go up.

   So there are a lot of them from Lingnan. If we let my wife wear them, I'm afraid they won't be able to wear them for ten years. "

   "You know so much!" Mrs. Li was stunned. She didn't expect that a little maid in the capital could say such vague words.

  Lan Ling snickered again, "Mrs. Sun, please don't praise the slave maid, the slave maid doesn't understand. I heard it a few times with my wife, and then I remembered it."

   "That's great too." Li shi sincerely praised, thinking that his granddaughter didn't know anything, even a maid, and suddenly became worried.

  Chen Ningya laughed and said, "Auntie, don't be polite to me. If you wear these clothes back, you should build momentum for my parents' family, otherwise people won't know what cotton clothes are!"

   "Yo! You said that I'll help you by wearing your clothes!" Mrs. Li had a funny look on her face.

  Chen Ningya nodded solemnly.

  Li was helpless and had to answer.

  The grandfather and grandson followed Lan Ling to the guest house to wash up. Before they came, Wen Youshan and Wen's mother and son had already arrived.

  Shen Wen was obviously very excited. He pulled Chen Ningya and asked, "A-Ning, Aunt Sun is really here? She's getting old too! It's freezing cold, why did you come to the capital?"

   "No! My aunt is almost in her 60s!" Chen Ningya compared the numbers. There are not many people who live to their 60s or 70s these days.

  Shi Wen was stunned for a moment, then sat down with emotion, "Yeah! It's been so many years! People always get old!"

  Wen Youshan couldn't hear such hurtful words, so he said in a rough voice, "What about old age? My aunt is in good spirits and has neat legs. She looks like she is in her forties. If you don't believe me, take a look."

   Mrs Wen nodded heavily, looking forward to Mrs Li's appearance more and more.

   This one, Mrs. Li and Sun Baoer took a comfortable bath and put on the cotton-padded clothes and pants that Chen Ningya had prepared for them. They had never worn this before, so it took a lot of time to wait for the two to come over.

   When everyone saw it, their eyes lit up.

Li's cotton-padded clothes and trousers are jujube red embroidered with golden patterns of Fu, Lu and Shou, and they are festive when they look at them. Their freshly washed hair is neatly combed and has a gold hairpin on it. The whole person looks like a rich old lady, Baoer. She was also wearing cotton-padded clothes and trousers, but it was in the style of pink plum blossoms, which made her little face much whiter. The pair of double buns had two beaded flowers on their hairpins. They looked youthful and beautiful, adding a lot to this gloomy winter day. colour.

  Shi Wen got up excitedly and shouted, "Auntie!"

As soon as Mrs. Li entered the room, she noticed Mrs. Wen, but Mrs. Wen was disfigured and half of her face was covered by her. Mrs. Li did not dare to recognize Mrs. Wen for a while. When Mrs. Wen called her, Mrs. Li burst into tears instantly. " Little girl? It's little girl, right?"

   Wen stepped forward and took Li's hand, nodding with tears in his eyes, "It's me!"
