Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 594 Qin Tian's Secret

During the morning court that day, it rained heavily in Chang'an City.

The heavy rain makes the whole Chang'an cool.

After the early retreat, Qin Tian was called to the imperial study by Li Shimin.

However, in the imperial study at this time, Empress Changsun was also there. Qin Tian knew something when he saw Empress Changsun.

"Your Majesty, I don't know why you called this humble official here?"

Li Shimin said: "Qin Aiqing, I called you here just to ask you something. You said that the embroidery workshop participated in the bidding. The queen likes your embroidery very much. She thinks that your embroidered clothes are more comfortable to wear than other people's clothes. , I want to know the reason."

Speaking of this, Li Shimin added another sentence: "If the reason is not good, I can't give you the winner."

Obviously, Li Shimin wanted to give the winner to Yiyan Embroidery, but if the reasons were not sufficient, giving it to Qin Tian would definitely cause some discussion.

Qin Tian was not surprised when he heard this, and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, the fabrics of Yiyan Embroidery Workshop are comfortable to wear, and it's all on the embroiderers."

"On the embroiderer?" Li Shimin was a little puzzled. If you want to talk about the embroiderer's skills, it depends on the embroiderer's ability, but the clothes are comfortable and uncomfortable, so why does it have something to do with the embroiderer?
Qin Tiandao: "That's right, it's precisely on those embroiderers, Yiyan embroidery workshops are all delicate and delicate women, their fingers are particularly smooth, and on weekdays, I don't let them do any heavy work , is to let them take care of their hands, so that the embroidery they make will be relatively smooth and supple. If the fingers are rough, the thread will be worn to some extent, and eventually the embroidery will be rough, and it will naturally be uncomfortable to wear. .”

After Qin Tian articulated his theory, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect that embroidery would have such a requirement for Xiuniang.

Although it looks unbelievable, the clothes look like this.

Li Shimin glanced at Empress Changsun, and Empress Changsun nodded. Obviously, she had already decided on the winner.

When he came out of the palace, the rain was still falling, and Qin Tian only had an umbrella in his hand.

He hesitated a few times, and finally decided to hold an umbrella and go back, not waiting for the rain to stop.

There were not many pedestrians on the streets of Chang'an. Qin Tian just walked with an umbrella like this. When passing by a medical clinic, he saw a woman walking out of the medical clinic carrying medicine.

The woman looked dignified and handsome, but she seemed to be somewhat sad, like autumn rain.

Qin Tian has never seen such a woman before, she seems to have come out of a sad poem, which makes people inexplicably yearn for her.

She must be a woman with a story.

Qin Tian stamped his feet and looked around. The woman who came out of the medical hall was holding an umbrella. When she looked up and saw Qin Tian, ​​she was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly.

Qin Tian felt that her frowning was also beautiful.

But then, she got into a carriage parked in front of the medical hall and drove away.

The carriage gradually drifted away in the rain, and soon disappeared.

Qin Tian didn't go into the clinic to inquire about the woman's background. To him, this might be a surprise, and in the future, he might never see her again.

That sad woman will only remain in the memory.

In his life, there were many such moments, and Qin Tian didn't feel the need to pursue the news of that woman.
-
The rain stopped in the afternoon.

After the rain stopped, Empress Changsun announced the final result.

The results were announced, and the embroidery workshops soon heard the news.

"What, Yiyan Embroidery won the bid?"

"No way, Yiyan Embroidery Workshop has not opened before, and they were able to win the bid. Is there any trick in it?"

"There must be something tricky. I said that the embroidery workshop belongs to Qin Tian, ​​and Qin Tian is the prime minister..."

Many people in the embroidery workshop were very upset and talked a lot. There was no lack of jealousy and resentment in their words.

And this news quickly spread to the Liu residence.

"Master, son..."

A servant hurried over, Liu Jiangnan sat on a chair, his face turned pale, it was obvious that he had just coughed violently before that.

"what's up?"

"The bidding results are out."

Hearing this, Liu Jiangnan nodded: "Is it still our Jiangnan Fang?"

The servant's face was a bit ugly, and he hesitated and didn't know what to say. Seeing this situation, Liu Jiangnan's face suddenly turned red again, as if he was congested with blood.

"Who won the bid?"

"Yiyan Embroidery Workshop."

"They?" After saying that, Liu Jiangnan suddenly coughed violently again, and at the same time he coughed violently, he spat out another mouthful of blood.

He was a little anxious.

This news made him a little unacceptable.

"How is it possible, how is this possible, how can the embroidery of Yiyan Embroidery Workshop compare to my Jiangnan Workshop?"

Jiangnanfang was Liu Jiangnan's life's painstaking effort, but he did not expect to lose like this. He knew that this was not only a loss, but it also meant that their business in Jiangnanfang might not be too easy for a long time to come.

"My lord, you have to pay attention to your health. There must be something wrong with the embroidery workshop. It's because the imperial court treats them preferentially..."

When the servant said this, Liu Jiangnan suddenly widened his eyes: "The imperial court treats them preferentially?"

In the past, he didn't believe this. He felt that the court's bidding had always been fair and just, but when he lost, he also began to question it.

And after he questioned this, his mood fluctuated again, and he vomited a mouthful of blood again. After spitting out this mouthful of blood, he became extremely exhausted, and even fainted suddenly.

When the servant saw this, he panicked.

"Come on, come on, the young master has passed out, madam, madam..."

The Liu Mansion was in chaos, and at this moment, a woman ran out from the backyard. When she saw Liu Jiangnan, she immediately shouted: "What are you waiting for, go and invite a doctor, and give the best doctor in the capital to you!" Please come here."

The servants ran away in a hurry, the woman looked at the unconscious Liu Jiangnan, and couldn't help but shed tears.

She is Liu Jiangnan's wife, named Chen Cuinong. She followed Liu Jiangnan when Liu Jiangnan had not made a fortune. At that time, she was still a little girl in her teens.

Now, more than ten years later, she has become Liu Jiangnan's wife, but her wife is in name only. Liu Jiangnan gave her all the love that a wife should have, but did not give her any love as a woman.

She wanted to have children for Liu Jiangnan, but Liu Jiangnan never did that kind of thing to her. His health was not good, and he never seemed to care about that kind of thing.

But she still loves him, because there has never been that man who can treat her so well like Liu Jiangnan.

Isn't that what a woman wants?
