Abandoned peasant woman in the prosperous world

Chapter 558 Cut whose? (2)
The lands of Bai, Min, Qi, and Su, which are adjacent to the Dashun Dynasty, are not large, and they are blessed by the Dashun Dynasty, so they send envoys here every year to present their collected treasures to flatter Dashun The king of the dynasty.Or a bright pearl the size of a chicken egg, or a fiery red coral as high as half a person, or a white tiger skin without a mottled color, and so on.

Of course, in addition to the treasures collected from all over the world, among the four countries, there are also special products of the country.For example, the breezy and elegant dresses of Bai State, the complex and exquisite dazzling jewelry of Min State, the delicate and rich makeup of Qi State, and the hot and unrestrained beauties of Su State.

The latter is fine, the women of the Da Shun Dynasty have always been proud of being gentle and courteous, and they can't make such a hot and unrestrained gesture.However, the first three made the emperor of the Dashun Dynasty very worried.I don't know when, the emperor of the Dashun Dynasty began to worry about why the Dashun Dynasty had a large land and a large population, but it couldn't produce these things that the four kingdoms paid tribute to?

Therefore, the days when the four kingdoms came to pay tribute gradually became the period of the Grand Competition.

The envoys from the four countries arrived at Yongjing City at different times due to different departure dates and different routes.Usually, after the envoys from the four countries arrive, they make an appointment to enter the palace together to meet the emperor.

On the first day, the envoys of the four countries offered tribute, expressed their obedience and respect to the Shun Dynasty, and expressed their wishes and closeness.Then, every other day, the envoys of the four countries would enter the palace together to represent the monarchs of their own countries and conduct negotiations with each other in various aspects.

The emperor would arrange entertainment activities such as singing and dancing, banquets, etc. On the surface, it was to add to the fun, but secretly it showed that the Dashun Dynasty was rich in materials and talents, and its inventions and manufactures were not inferior to those of the Four Kingdoms.

In order, they are makeup powder, pearl hairpin and dress.As for the beauties, they were put on display from the very beginning. All the women with beaded hairpins on their heads, face painted with makeup, and dressed in Chinese clothes were all pretty and charming women in the palace.

Because making clothes is the last item, the women in the palace have enough time to put them on and rehearse, so Master Mu and others are not in a hurry. They did not come to the Royal Clothes Bureau together until the envoys from the four countries had entered the palace, and gathered the masters. to discuss.

"The envoys from the four countries have already entered the palace, and soon they will be our Dabi. I wonder how you are preparing?" In the conference hall, Master Mu and others sat at the head, looking at more than 40 master craftsmen standing in the hall they said.

A slightly older master stood up and replied: "We have made more than 80 sets of ready-made clothes, and they are stored in the place of the aunt in charge. Do you want to inspect them?"

Since Master Mu and the others are considered to be half imperial envoys, the word "Master" is quite reasonable.

Master Mu nodded and said, "Bring it here."

The master responded and asked the two people around him to carry it.

"I wonder how much Madam Qin makes clothes?" Master Mu asked again.

As his words fell, everyone in the meeting hall looked over one after another.What kind of abilities does this woman who dares to stand on an equal footing with Master Mu and others have?

It was Master Mu and the others who walked into the meeting hall, asked someone to move the chairs, put them side by side, and sat down to ask questions.Qin Yuyao thought that she was hand-picked by the emperor's decree, so she should have the qualifications, so she also ordered the palace servants to bring a stool for her.

The palace people next to him might still hesitate, but Xiang Toon is extremely diligent, seeing a big event today, so he naturally followed Qin Yuyao.Hearing this, without further ado, he moved a chair and said very courteously: "Madam, please sit down."

Yan Xiuniang and Hu Xiuniang were also there, they were just standing behind Qin Yuyao at the moment, both of them were sensible, they didn't talk too much when Qin Yuyao asked them, they only brought a pair of eyes and a pair of ears, listening beside them, watch.

"We made sixty sets." Qin Yuyao's eyes slowly swept across the faces of everyone in the hall, and finally landed on Master Mu's face, and said with a smile.

Hearing this, there was an exclamation from the crowd: "Impossible!"

"Hmph, little girl, don't say [-] sets of crudely made things, what's so special about [-] sets?" There was another sarcasm from the crowd.

The sarcasm sounded familiar, Qin Yuyao turned her gaze slightly, and landed on the face of the person who spoke, and sure enough, she saw that it was the person known as "Master Song".But when he saw Qin Yuyao, then Yan Xiuniang and Hu Xiuniang with his sarcastic eyes, he was full of disdain.

Yan Xiuniang and Hu Xiuniang already showed anger in their eyes, but Qin Yuyao patted the back of their hands and told them not to get angry.But Qin Yuyao smiled lightly, and said to Master Song: "Since I stepped into the gate of the Yuyi Bureau, I have never slacked off. I have been busy for six or seven hours every day. The pen and ink I used are enough to fill this meeting hall." the wall."

The implication is to insinuate that Lord Song and the others are all cramming for the time being, but earlier they were arrogant and willful.

Master Song blushed as expected after hearing this: "Fool! Don't be ashamed of your big words!"

However, the others did not respond.Just because everyone has eyes, they naturally see whether Qin Yuyao leisurely gets up late and goes to bed early every day, eats and drinks well, or wears stars and moons and keeps busy.

Therefore, some people said respectfully: "Madam Qin please take out sixty sets of clothes, so that we can also open our eyes."

More than 40 masters from the men's college have designed more than [-] sets.And Qin Yuyao designed sixty sets with only two embroiderers.This ratio is really surprising and even more embarrassing.

Qin Yuyao said to Yan Xiuniang who was behind her: "You and Xiang Toon, go and take out the clothes from our room."

It wasn't because Qin Yuyao didn't trust Aunt Xiong, even though Aunt Xiong didn't have good intentions towards her, she never dared to play tricks on such a big matter.However, Qin Yuyao is cautious by nature, but she will not let the clothes carrying her dreams fall into the hands of others.

Therefore, every time the maids cut out a set, Qin Yuyao would take it back together with the drawings, and after Yan Xiuniang and Hu Xiuniang had finished post-processing, they would carefully store it in a special metal box and wrap it with layers of oiled paper and cloth. , take care of it.

After hearing Qin Yuyao's words, Yan Xiuniang walked out from behind, made a gesture to the toon, and went out.Everyone saw Qin Yuyao smiling calmly, without any intention of avoiding her eyes, and they were really curious.While looking forward to Qin Yuyao's works, he felt proud at the same time, wondering if they could overwhelm Qin Yuyao after getting back their clothes?

But at this time, Qin Yuyao looked at Master Mu and said, "The property of the three masters is also in the fabric business. I wonder how many sets of clothes the three masters have prepared?"

This time it was Mr. Zhou who replied with a smile: "It's not as capable as Mrs. Qin. Each of our family has only prepared [-] sets, and there are [-] sets in total."

Among the three, Master Mu is the head, but Master Pan is a black-faced and cold-faced character, while Master Zhou is the kind of person who can say anything without losing his face.Therefore, Master Zhou came forward to answer the slightly embarrassing scenes.
