It’s No Use Calling Me Mom

     Yang Xun asked Wang Qingqing if he understood how to answer the words of the nobles in the palace, Wang Qingqing pursed his lips and smiled and sat back on the chair.

    "Master Marquis, the noble man in the palace opened his mouth, and the concubine naturally understood how to answer, but..." She pulled the tray with the head face to her: "This head face, It can be regarded as a rare good thing, but if you compare it with the position of the commander of the five armies, it is not worth mentioning."

    "Liu Shi!" Yang Xun never imagined that Wang Qingqing would be so greedy.

      What ordinary people can do, that is, the palace craftsmen who work as inner craftsmen can have such good skills.

      Now that she has given such a precious face to Liu, she is still not satisfied? It really makes no sense!

    "Master is not the commander of the Fifth Army yet!" Yang Xun glared at Wang Qingqing and gritted his teeth bitterly.

    "Your Majesty don't say such depressing words." Wang Qingqing smiled and waved at Yang Xun slightly: "Old Governor, you have been frail for a long time and ignored military affairs for a long time. You know, who would dare to disobey the orders of Lord Hou? Lord Hou is careful, and when the old governor retires, can the sage be able to bypass Lord Hou and promote someone else to sit on the position of governor?"

    Indeed, in the sixty or seventy years since the founding of the country, there are few governors who have not sat on the position of governors. Wang Qingqing's remarks made Yang Xun look a lot better.

      He put it on his wrist and tried it: "Besides, the Marquis already has a super-ranked title, and he has also received a salary from a first-rank governor and a clerk. He has both real power and honor. Among the nobles of the dynasty, he is more than How many people are still handsome, Lord Hou?"

    As soon as she said these words, Yang Xun's expression softened.

    Indeed, Marquis Xie Ting, who has been praised as a dragon and phoenix since he was a child, has only taken the position of the second-rank commander in front of the palace, and the soldiers and horses in his hands are only ten thousand forbidden troops. , now that he can stabilize his head, when he is promoted to the commander of the five armies, he will be a very serious minister, and when he is old, he will be able to confer the post of General of Youzhu Kingdom. Looking around at this group of noble children of the same age as him, there are indeed very few who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

    "The concubine helped the Marquis to get this position, both Yu Marquis and Marquis Mansion are a great contribution." Wang Qingqing took off the bracelet and put it on the tray: "The concubine just wants a little bit of daddy. It's just things, could it be that Lord Hou is still reluctant?"

    Although Yang Xun was dissatisfied with Wang Qingqing reaching out to beg him for something, but at this time he did not want to offend him, this very capable step-wife, she will be there tomorrow To Mianjun, turn her face at this time, if she doesn't know how to speak nonsense, and then makes the emperor hate her, it will be very bad.

    "The concubine's family lord also knows." Wang Qingqing sighed: "My dowries, no matter how frugal, will be spent in another three or two years. The purpose of transforming these machines is to make money for a long time. Now the sage has taken a fancy to these machines. Judging from his temperament, these machines must be widely spread all over the world. With a new loom, who would buy the concubine's cloth?"

    "It took me more than two years to transform these machines, and the prince also sees how much effort the concubine has spent." Wang Qingqing expressed infinite grievance: "The concubine has lost a long time. For a sum of money, Lord Hou has fulfilled his wish. In this case, Lord Hou should compensate his concubine one or two, and he doesn't want much. The two farms in Daxing or Wanping can be used by either Lord Hou for his concubine. "

    A farm in Daxing or Wanping? As soon as Yang Xun heard her words, he felt a pain in the flesh. The world has been peaceful for a long time. The fields suitable for farming near the capital have long been divided up by the nobles and officials. There is no silver tael for this kind of farmland. Buying from a place, Wang Qingqing wanted to ask for a place as soon as he opened his mouth, which really made Yang Xun feel the pain.

    "Qingqing, the two farms in the mansion were given by the grandfather back then, and they can be regarded as ancestral property, so it's really hard to divide them up with you." Yang Xun made an embarrassing expression: " The mansion is in Shandong, and there are fields in the south of the Yangtze River. If you want a farm, why don't I give you the farm in Zhenjiang? Jiangnan is a land of fish and rice. You can't use up the output of that Zhuangzi every day, what do you think?"

    Hearing what he said, Wang Qingqing looked sad: "Master Hou, this concubine is a woman, and she is incompetent as a confidant and servant, and she can't go far to the south of the Yangtze River. How will the concubine of Zhenjiang come? If the concubine takes the Zhuangzi, in addition to raising a bunch of gigantic rats, I am afraid that the year-round production will not even be able to take care of the concubine's chewing."

    "If Lord Hou really wants to give it, give it to the concubine of Wanping or Daxing. If it has to be given to Shandong or Jiangnan, then the concubine is not worth it." Wang Qingqing turned her back as she spoke. He walked away, posing as if he didn't want to talk anymore.

    "Qingqing, don't make trouble unreasonably, after all, it's ancestral property, how can it be divided?" Yang Xun struggled with all his strength.

    "Hou Ye said that, holding a concubine in his hand is only for the annual profit. As for Zhuangzi, after a hundred years, the concubine will naturally be passed on to Brother Juan, who is a marquis Grandpa's direct son, why not put the ancestral property in his name?" Wang Qingqing frowned.

    Wang Qingqing was resolute, arguing for a long time to no avail, Yang Xun had to admit it: "That's it, I'll give you the place in Daxing."

    Wang Qingqing was very happy to get a big farmhouse, and quickly stood up and gave Yang Xun a blessing: "Thank you, Marquis!"

    She was happy, but Yang Xun was stuck in his heart.

    He was able to get the position of the Governor General and has a lot to do with Wang Qingqing. When he was happy, he thought about it and suddenly realized that he and Wang Qingqing had not done the Dunlon ceremony in the past three years.

    Liu's appearance is not bad, she hasn't shared the bed with her for three years, Yang Xun is a little itchy when he thinks of it suddenly. Tonight, I will rest in this Fangfei Garden and take good care of my wife. One is to satisfy my cravings, and the other is to give my step-wife a reward.

    Yang Xun came excitedly, who knew that Wang Qingqing only knew how to ask for a farm, and was forced to send a farm out, Yang Xun felt suffocated and uncomfortable. After reminding Wang Qingqing to pay attention to his words and answer properly after entering the palace tomorrow, Yang Xun, who was extremely disappointed, threw up his sleeves and left.

    Wang Qingqing stood up and chased Yang Xun who was rushing to the door and shouted: "Master Hou, let the big housekeeper bring Tian Qi to the concubine at night to make it? Otherwise, the concubine may not be able to sleep. !"

    When Yang Xun heard what she said, he felt that his heart was blocked even more. He felt that he didn't want to be a husband and wife with Liu's in his life.

    The next day's meeting with the emperor was naturally very smooth. Wang Qingqing entered the palace and presented a few pieces of cloth that he had woven by himself, and then took out the carefully prepared drawings.

    "Tai | Zu promoted cotton planting to benefit the people all over the world, and the ministers and wives were grateful for the painstaking efforts of loving the people like children, which lasted more than two years, from ginning to spinning and weaving, and made all the machines. In order to improve and adjust, now the court lady voluntarily presents the blueprint to His Majesty." Wang Qingqing knelt on the ground and lowered her hands and eyes, holding the blueprint high: "I hope the court lady's improvement method can save thousands of women all over the world a little bit of hard work.

    The palace attendant took the drawing and presented it to the emperor. This drawing is a design that Wang Qingqing carefully prepared. From the main body to the parts, the drawing is clear and the size is clear, and the sketch that Jin Yiwei secretly copied Naturally it is very different.

    The emperor is so detailed that anyone who doesn't know woodworking can understand this picture, and he is very happy. Taking the initiative, being able to abandon his own interests and willingly hand over the drawings to the court, this Liu family can be regarded as having a loyal and patriotic heart.

    Jin Yiwei has already investigated clearly that the machine improved by Liu's is twice as efficient as the best machine made by the Weaving Bureau.

    A man's meritorious deeds can seal his wife and his son, and this woman's meritorious deeds can do the same.

    Bowwang Hou Yang Xun is quite diligent to lead the army. In recent years, he has been testing the position of the governor of the five armies. It doesn't matter if he gives it a try, if he doesn't have this ability, after half a year, he will be given a loose rank and he will be left idle, it doesn't matter.

    Liu's achievements are comparable to that of Huang Daopo a hundred years ago. If only Yang Xun was rewarded, it would be a little simpler. The emperor thought for a moment and had an idea in his heart. , and ordered the palace servants to send her out of the palace.

    Wang Qingqing returned to Hou's mansion, and the angel who announced the decree came.

    The imperial decree lavishly praised Wang Qingqing, followed by a long list of reward items, from jewelry to fur and silk, from home furnishings to grain, rice, tea, and charcoal. The package is all-inclusive.

    Wang Qingqing was listening and figuring out the value of these things when she suddenly heard that the emperor gave Yang Yan a reward, the third-rank general Zhaoyong!

      It's hard to say how many rank it is, it all depends on the emperor's mood. If you are lucky, you will be awarded the fourth or fifth rank. If you are unlucky, it is not impossible to seal the seventh or eighth rank.

      I feel a lot better.

    Without farsightedness, there must be near-term worries. As soon as Wang Qingqing handed in the drawings, she thought of her cloth house business.

    After she has improved a series of machines in the cotton spinning industry, the production capacity of cotton cloth will be greatly improved in the entire dynasty territory. The cotton business is definitely not going well.

    Wang Qingqing decided to adjust the product structure of her own cloth shop, from the main low-priced ordinary cotton cloth to the high-priced jacquard silk cloth.

    Nowadays, there are also brocades on the market, but because of low production efficiency and extremely high prices Full. After making up her mind, Wang Qingqing went to the transformation of the jacquard machine.

    This focus will not know the years, this day Wang Qingqing took a planing knife and was working hard, Yang Ji panicked and rushed into Fangfei Garden: "Madam! Uncle Ye is in trouble!"
