Buddhist palace maids want to be rich

Chapter 144 Cotton
While looking at the flowers casually, Jiang Zhixia regretted coming to the flower show.For her, this flower fair is really too boring.

The ladies in the garden all found someone they knew well.They are either reciting poems, fighting against each other, or playing chess.

Jiang Zhixia was alone, and she didn't want to force herself into a circle that didn't suit her.Therefore, she could only hide aside and admire the flowers carefully.

Suddenly, her sight was firmly attracted by a white flower.

The pure white flowers are divided into several petals and hang on the branches.Some branches have large green leaves, while others are bare.

Jiang Zhixia's heart lifted involuntarily.

"No way? No way? Can't be so lucky?"

She held her breath, and walked slowly, muttering to herself.

Approaching the flowerpot, Jiang Zhixia lowered his head to look carefully, smelled it, and seemed to be stroking the petals, but in fact he squeezed and pulled tightly.

It's really, really cotton!
Cotton, cotton, what does that mean?
It means that it can be spun into cotton cloth to make all kinds of clothes, and it can be worn in winter with a big padded jacket and a thick quilt.

It can make her already cold body warmer.

In view of the feelings of last year's cold winter, she has been committed to accumulating the fluff of chickens, ducks and geese.However, it takes time and effort to save up that thing.

If cotton is added, it is made into a down padded jacket. . .

Jiang Zhixia's eyes lit up when he thought of this.

Although these fur coats are quite warm nowadays, they are expensive after all.Even if she has money, she can't often buy it and wear it.

Besides, fur clothes are made of fur after all, so they are too heavy.How lightweight is cotton.

Also, with cotton, is it possible to abandon the terrible menstrual belt and make a simple version of sanitary napkins?How many women will that be the gospel?
And as a pioneer, this can be considered a big deal.You can make money by yourself, and benefit others at the same time.

If it is really planted on a large scale in the future, it will be very beneficial to the common people.

Gebu is rough, silk is expensive, but cotton is just right.

Among other things, at least it can make people in winter less "there are frozen bones on the road"?
How can this be regarded as a great thing that benefits the country and the people?

Thinking about it, Jiang Zhixia couldn't help jumping up for joy.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhixia turned to look at the maid serving in the garden, and gestured for her to come over.

After the maid came over, she bowed respectfully, "Madam, what's your order?"

"I want to ask, what is the name of this flower?"

Since they are serving in the back garden in the name of a flowering party, these maids must know some flowers, right?
Otherwise, the guest would not be able to answer the question, and it would be embarrassing to the host.

"Miss Hui, this one is called Mu Mianhua." The maid looked very smart, she replied clearly.

"Wapian flower?" Jiang Zhixia murmured, and then praised: "This flower is special, I have never seen it before. I really like it, I don't know where it comes from..."

Before Jiang Zhixia finished speaking, he heard Mrs. Cheng Amber's laughter behind him.

"If Miss Jiang likes it, I will give this flower to you."

"Let the lady laugh."

Jiang Zhixia turned around, and saw Mrs. Cheng Amber walking over with a group of ladies behind her, and quickly saluted.

"Thank you Madam for your kindness. But, how can a little girl take advantage of Madam?"

Although Jiang Zhixia really wanted cotton.However, what she wanted more was the source of cotton, so she declined.

She thought about waiting for the wives to leave, and then she would continue to inquire about the origin of the cotton.

"What is this flower worth? Let's say, we have a lot of flowers in our family. There are still a few of these flowers in our family. This one can be given to the girl."

Mrs. Cheng Amber looked at this unscented, unattractive, and worthless flower, and she still enthusiastically wanted to give it away.

Jiang Zhixia looked at Mian Mian, but still declined.

This flower is currently worthless.However, in the future, she will plant it on a large scale and then use it for business.

Now, after getting the favor of a flower from the other party, in the future, I don't know what to use to repay it.

You know, money is easy to repay, but favors are hard to repay.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhixia firmly refused.

Mrs. Lin, who saw everything in her eyes, had a look of satisfaction in her eyes again.It's good to like but be able to refuse temptation.

"The flowers and plants in Ma'am's courtyard are not only blooming very well, but also of many kinds."

When Jiang Zhixia saw Mrs. Amber Cheng who had been humiliated, her smile lost a bit, so she quickly praised her.

After hearing the praise, Mrs. Amber Cheng smiled reservedly, and then took the other wives to visit other flowers.

While pointing to the flowers of various colors, he said: "The flowers in my mansion are really rare outside."

Seeing that she had nothing to do here, the maid was about to say goodbye and leave.

Suddenly, Jiang Zhixia pressed her hand with her sleeve, and immediately got a purse in her hand.

She looked up at Jiang Zhixia in surprise.

This servant girl just heard Mrs. Amber calling Jiang Zhixia Miss Jiang, so she knew she was not the official lady.

Unexpectedly, I could still get a reward.

"Girl, I have something I want to ask." Jiang Zhixia hurriedly asked after finishing giving her purse.

"Girl, just tell me what you want."

The maid held the purse in her hand and weighed it calmly.The purse is heavy, and there is no clanking sound like copper plates, so it should be a dime of silver.A dime of silver is at least one tael.As a result, the joy on her face became even stronger.

"I like this cotton cotton flower very much. However, I can't take my wife's favor just because I like it. So I want to ask where I got this flower from, and I will buy some." Jiang Zhixia smiled. asked.

"This flower was brought into the mansion by Uncle Wang, the gardener, as a gift to his wife. Why don't the girl go to the corner gate over there, and the servant girl go and call Uncle Wang over there, and ask him to tell the girl? The flower house is just outside the corner gate. "

The servant girl also pointed to a corner door that could be seen at a glance and said with a smile.

Some ladies may not be willing to reward others.This unobtrusive girl is quite generous.

She also saw the scene just now.Mrs. Jiang is going to give it to Miss Jiang, but she doesn't want it.

Now, it is common sense for her to want to buy it by herself.This is not something to be shy about.

"Then I would like to thank this girl. Girl, please go and invite someone first. I will go to the corner gate myself."

Jiang Zhixia is very happy, knowing that the source of cotton is the best, she can go directly to buy seeds and cotton for use.

Cotton is not the same as pepper.

Pepper is a kind of vegetable. It is easy to grow and bears many fruits. It is not difficult to use it as seeds.

Not to mention, she also grew peppers in her previous life - although it was more than 20 years ago.

However, cotton is different.Not to mention that the method of planting is not that simple, she has completely forgotten about it.

However, at the end of the day, she also kept an eye out --- this is in someone else's mansion.

So, she took both Xing Ruolan and Xiaoman with her, and casually pointed a maid from Cheng'anbo Mansion to follow her.

When they got to the corner gate, they saw that the previous maid was already standing there waiting with an old man with gray hair.

Seeing them, Jiang Zhixia said that it was not good to delay the affairs of the two maids, and gave them each a small purse of [-] Wen, and sent them away directly.

Only the flower farmers, Jiang Zhixia, Xing Ruolan and Xiaoman were left on the scene.
