I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 817 Extravagant and contrived hobbies
The dignified magistrate, the head of such a huge Jiangbian province, actually trusted the woman of this merchant family so much.

Even if it's her own daughter, I'm afraid that many people can't reach Xia Ying's level, right?But Xia Ying did it!
Yan Yiwei became more and more excited, and he quickly said what he knew: "Speaking of the preferences of the current sage, I have heard of some. This sage likes gorgeous things. It is best that the things be bigger, and it is best to make them more beautiful. All the officials standing at the end of the court can see it. Therefore, I think that it is not necessary to present too many things to the emperor, as long as they are of good quality. Therefore, if the materials are sufficient, you might as well make a piece of white rabbit fur directly. The cloak, the emperor should like it."

What a luxurious and contrived hobby!

After hearing this, Xia Ying had this idea in her heart.

She didn't even dare to dream of making a cloak with white rabbit fur in modern times, and it turned out that His Majesty the Emperor liked this kind of thing!
When Mao Zhifu heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and then he looked at Song Jinyan. "Are there enough materials?"

"Enough is enough. But if the cloak is made, I'm afraid there will be only some scraps left, so we can only make some gadgets." Song Jinyan said.

"That doesn't matter. Of course, when I come to Beijing this time, the first thing I need is to please the emperor. If I can use this cloak to make a big splash, that would be the best! It just so happens that rare things are more expensive. Others will see When the emperor got a cloak, he naturally felt very itchy. Then he followed the signs and recruited Jiangbian Province, and by then your next batch of rabbits should have grown, and they can be used to make money." Mao Zhifu said.

Although he has been an official in many places, Jiangbian Province is undoubtedly the place where he made his fortune, and he has a deep affection for this place.So now, he is willing to use this opportunity to bring more development opportunities to Jiangbian Province.

Song Jinyan's eyes sparkled again.

"Since you have said so, Mr. Zhifu, let's do it this way! I will tell the artisans to collect all the rabbit fur this time when I go back this time, and make a gorgeous cloak that is unique in the whole world!"

Mao Zhifu nodded, and he turned back to Yan Yiwei and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yan, for your help this time."

Yan Yiwei quickly waved his hands. "Master Mao, you are being polite. This is just a little effort, I am honored to be able to help you!"

Although his tone was calm and his posture was upright, there was still some joy in his eyes.

Since magistrate Mao has this attitude, it means that he has a good impression of him in his heart!Next, I can just take advantage of this momentum to pursue and fight fiercely, and completely let Zhifu Mao become my backer!

As long as they rely on Mao Zhifu, it is equivalent to relying on His Highness Prince Ning, and their Yan family's position in the capital will be completely stable!

The more he thought about it, the happier he became, so he quickly told them some gossip about the capital that he knew, so that magistrate Mao could refer to it.

It's already the end of winter now, and magistrate Mao will leave for the capital in more than a month. He has been trying to find out the situation in the capital for the past six months, so that he can adapt to the environment as soon as possible after he goes there.It's just that the people in the capital are very secretive when they talk about things. One thing has to go around and around. After a lot of nonsense, there are only a few sentences that are useful. Mao Zhifu is having a headache because of this matter!

As a result, now came Yan Yiwei, who wandered around the gates of those high-ranking households every day, and had close contacts with vendors in the capital, so he could clearly feel all the movements in the capital.So the information he gave was actually more and more complete than what magistrate Mao had inquired about.He even knows a lot of inside information that magistrate Mao did not know.

As if the magistrate had found a treasure, he hurriedly left Xia Ying and a group of people to eat at the mansion, and asked Yan Yiwei about many things carefully before letting them go out.

In the next few days, Mao Zhifu will send people over every two or three days to invite Xia Ying to play, and Yan Yiwei will always be by his side.

In this way, it is the twelfth lunar month in a flash.

It's the new year again.

Xia Ying and her team had already told Gu's Village that they would not go back to celebrate the New Year this year, so they only prepared a generous New Year's gift to send back to the village.

However, when the village heard the news that Gu Yuanlong passed the examination, everyone was overjoyed. The old patriarch hurriedly prepared a cart full of bacon, smoked fish, live chicken, turkey, duck, chicken, duck, goose eggs, etc. Send them over.

The people who drove over were no accident and they were members of Gu Changwu's family.

We haven't seen each other for a long time, and it's inevitable to have another long conversation when we sit down.

Gu Changwu's daughter-in-law said happily to Xia Ying: "Second uncle has been talking about it these days! He said, brother Long got such a good grade in the exam, but you didn't have a banquet to celebrate, it's a big loss! He knows the news When it was time, they specially set up another table of wine in the village, and called the patriarchs of the next few villages over to have a drink!"

Eating wine and eating fakes, is it true to brag?

Xia Ying thought.

It seems that the old patriarch has really started to become more and more bold now, and he has already started to firmly put the names of their whole family in the family tree of Gujiacun.Now, isn't he just instilling this cognition to others bit by bit?
But she was too lazy to quarrel with the old man.Anyway, Gu Yuanlong's identity will be exposed when he goes to the capital.At that time, this old man will not be able to stay if he wants to!

She just smiled and said, "If Brother Long got another grade in the exam, I'd definitely offer a drink. It's just that since he passed the exam to know Yuan, and also learned that the Master Fu hosted a banquet, this honor is enough. It would be too ostentatious if we hold a banquet to celebrate later. Brother Long is still young, so I don't want to bring him too much envy from outsiders."

"That's what I said too!" Gu Changwu's wife nodded hastily.

"Outsiders only see the glory of your family, but who knows the suffering you have suffered? Brother Long is so smart and good-looking, and he has achieved such achievements at a young age. Others can only envy and envy, but you can replace it. As parents, you must be worried after you are happy. The child is so good, I am afraid that many people will not like him! So I understand how you arrange it."

Now that their market is in contact with the Song family in the county, Song Jinyan has led them to meet wealthy businessmen in other counties and towns several times, and opened up sales channels for them.They have seen a lot, and their eyesight will naturally improve.

Now, she was able to keep up with Xia Ying's thoughts.

When Xia Ying heard what she said, she was also very happy. "It's great to have such a caring person like you in the village to speak for us. Your family has made great progress in the past few years, so I knew I was right!"

She is so relieved!
