Chapter 256: Why is the loom so special
After receiving the news, a man and a woman who looked suspiciously like the Imperial Preceptor went to the Imperial Preceptor’s house and took away the bead.
He immediately sent out his elite troops, three floors inside and three floors outside, to secretly monitor the Imperial Prefect's Mansion closely.
There were too many people outside during the Shangyuan Festival, and he didn’t want to make any noise and alert others.
The person who came to report did not know that he knew very well that any man with a figure that looked like a national master was the national master!
The old emperor had a good plan. The Imperial Preceptor must return to the North. He could not suddenly disappear in front of so many people. After the Imperial Preceptor left, he would go and invite the master.
The people sent out were all useless and couldn't keep up with anyone. Fortunately, they both returned to the house in the end.
As soon as two people entered the door with their front feet, the people in the palace arrived with their back feet.
The leading eunuch said that he wanted to announce Gao Ren's entry into the palace.
Everyone in the house is very cooperative. To tell the truth, the master comes and goes without a trace, and they don't know. If you want to search, just search.
A huge group of people even used poles to fish out the bottom of the pond, but couldn't find even a ghost.
When he came back tremblingly, the old emperor lost his temper. It was the imperial doctor who told him not to get excited now, so he endured it.
Just now, his breathing was extremely fast and heavy, as if he could pass out at any time.
"Where's the prince! If he hadn't been prepared in advance, he wouldn't have been able to do this!"
The old emperor smashed the medicine bowl on the ground. I don’t know how many wrinkles I have added compared to a few months ago.
The practice method given by the master has been sent to him. He found someone to try it first and said that it can indeed make his mind peaceful and feel good.
Now, the old emperor was even more eager to find the person.
If an expert likes gold, silver and jewelry, then the matter will be easy to handle. As long as he finds someone, he has enough of these things, so he is not afraid that he will not be able to bribe her.
But I can’t find anyone.
The feeling that he was only one step away from accomplishing something made the old emperor, whose spirit had reached its limit, even more furious.
He knew he didn't have time, and he didn't know when he would get news from the other party next time.
"If you pass on the order, whoever can find her will be promoted to an official position!"
The old emperor rubbed the ring on his hand with an excited expression.
In recent days, as soon as he closed his eyes, he could see those clan members who had died in his hands.
Especially the cousin who was said by the former supervisor to be the successor.
Then, he killed his cousin's entire family, including the infant child, as well as several other cousins of the right age and orthodox origins.
He exchanged his life for the great power of Qi, but he wanted to give them the throne, and he didn't want to!
Those cloudy eyes seemed to see him sitting on the throne in high spirits decades ago, calmly asking Jian Zheng and General He,
"They are all dead, can they sit down?" I am the only one in this position, what do you think I should do?”
The look in their eyes was very wonderful at that time, and they knew each other rightly and immediately came to his side.
The old emperor looked at the gorgeous but empty palace, and the clan members seemed to be standing in the dark watching him.
"This world belongs to me, because I saved Daqi!"
The old emperor murmured to himself for a while, and then told the eunuch next to him,
"Tian more Some lights! Light them up! Call the supervisor over.”
The little eunuch didn't dare to delay and went to do the work quickly, for fear that he would be in trouble if he was late for a second. The situation of the saint is good and bad. Today, with the help given by the master, it is relatively good.
Yesterday, I saw a little palace maid and her sisters smiling. An hour later, they were added to the list of victims.

It will take a few days before Wen Zhi can lead his troops back to the capital.
Shen You is not idle either. She is preparing to resume work in the studio and also handle the business in the shop.
Liu Erniang sent the account book over early in the morning, and Liu Zheng sent the dividends. She knew that Shen You didn’t want the banknotes, and it was too conspicuous for her to bring a box of silver, so Liu Zheng transfer.
Through the account books and her story, Shen You roughly knows the current scale of her weaving workshop.
It is indeed amazing to be able to develop so fast in such a short period of time.
She is now the largest cotton cloth merchant in Beijing. Liu Ji's workshop is divided into two types, specializing in weaving cotton cloth and specializing in weaving silk and satin.
The Western Region's 'Shark Raw Thread' fabric left by Shen You earlier made Liu Ji very popular in the capital.
The daughter of the Zhaohou Mansion bought the second horse. After it was made into ready-made clothes, many famous ladies were envious and asked if they could still buy it or have it woven.
Everyone is willing to wait, but Liu Erniang has never seen this kind of cloth before, and she doesn’t know what material it is made of or where it can be woven.
Although I didn't buy the shark's silk, other materials were sold out, and the custom-made garments are already scheduled for three months.
While expanding her business, Liu Erniang also accepted many women from poor families as apprentices, and also bought women whose husbands wanted to sell them for money.
She also followed Miss Shen's wishes and established a good relationship with the old lady of the Liu family to stabilize the business.
With the nobles behind her, those who clamored to drive her out of this industry did not dare to use their power to suppress others.
Everyone knows that the Liu family is now rising.
“I was a little worried when I went to the Liu Mansion to deliver materials to the female family members. I didn’t expect that the old lady and the madam are both kind people, and they also take great care of our Liuji Workshop.”
< br> Shen You smiled and said nothing. In ancient times, a family that could raise a girl like Liu Yunyan, who was as good as any man, and could also allow her to go adventure in the North without marrying, would not be a difficult person to get along with.
"These are the ingredients you ordered." Liu Erniang wanted Shen You to check.
Shen You just glanced at it casually, "Of course I can rest assured that you made the order yourself."
"If there are too many sharks, they won't be valuable, but I still have it here. There are many materials that are light, not easy to wrinkle, do not fade when washed, and are still shiny.”
Shen You took out the things from the warehouse.
In fact, it is the water-gloss gauze available online, which is very cheap. The blue gradient is called shark gauze, and the moonlight-white one can be called moonlight gauze.
There is also a Tencel fabric, which is cheap and comfortable, but not wrinkle-resistant. It is a new type of fabric made of natural wood pulp fiber.
But it is much more durable than delicate silk fabrics, and it will not lose its original luster when washed.
Shen You doesn't buy much, each type is limited. Making money is making money, and you can't squeeze out the living space of other fabrics in the ancient market.
In ancient times, if she could make Tencel herself, she could give the technology to Liu Erniang and popularize it, but the conditions here really make it impossible.
What’s more, the colors and patterns of these fabrics are unparalleled in ancient times. They are sold in a rare and rare way. To say that they are luxurious and exquisite, they are really better than the Luohe brocades of Daqi.
After hearing what Shen You said, Liu Erniang looked at the fabric in front of her in surprise. The things made by people from the Western Regions were not as comfortable as their silk, but the colors and patterns were indeed special and had a fairy-like feel.
"Just in time, with these few pieces of material, I can explain to those ladies who urged me to find ways to buy more materials from the Western Regions."
Liu Erniang said with a smile, "However, Miss Shen, I have a doubt. The width of the material from the Western Regions is very large. "We can't make such wide fabrics here due to the limitations of the looms. Do they have larger looms?"
She couldn't imagine how complicated it would be to weave such a wide material. It can only be made by machine, but even if several people cooperate, it will be difficult to use.
