Nongmen Rice Flower Fragrance

Chapter 492 Cotton
"Look, the family carriage is here." Caixia said suddenly.Li Xin didn't look at it either, Caixia is a steady person, so naturally she said it, so it was true.

Caiyun helped Li Xin get out of the carriage and watched Wenbo's carriage slowly approaching.In fact, it may not be so easy to identify the carriage, but because Ling Ziye is in front of the team, and Wen Hao is also riding a horse, so it is naturally clear at a glance.

Seeing Li Xin, Wen Hao quickly got off his horse.At a young age, his movements are very neat.

"Sister, are you here early?" Wen Hao looked at Li Xin with a smile.

"No, I just arrived." Li Xin re-tied Wen Hao's cloak, "It's still cold at this time, so you don't want to ride a horse. It's fine for such a short distance, but it's not good if the cold wind blows too much. It's better to sit. Get in the carriage! If you feel bored, ride again when it warms up!"

"Well, I see, don't worry, big sister!" Wen Hao suddenly hugged Li Xin.

Li Xin patted him on the back, "Be careful along the way. When you get home, if there is anything you can't solve, you can go to the Zheng family, or sister Peilan for help. Now the county magistrate is gone. It's the magistrate of Nanbai County, you should know how to protect yourself."

"Sister, don't worry about us too much, I will take good care of my younger siblings." Wen Bo said with a smile. "It's the elder sister who needs to take care."

"En." Li Xin nodded.After another farewell, Wen Bo took his younger siblings into the carriage.The guards also got on their horses, and this time they brought a lot of people with them, so Li Xin finally felt relieved.

Some of the guards were arranged by her cousin, and the Ling family's guard skills were pretty good, so she didn't have to worry so much.In fact, there may not be any danger along the way, they have always been doing official business, and Wenbo and the others are just ordinary pedestrians, not a caravan, so it stands to reason that they would not let any thieves take risks.

It's just that she is still not so relieved, mainly because they are still young, and she always feels that they are not capable of protecting themselves.

"Sister, go back quickly! We're leaving now." Wen Bo waved at Li Xin.

"Goodbye." Li Xin also waved his hand.

Seeing the carriage go away, Li Xin was still in a daze.Ling Ziye patted her on the shoulder lightly, "Go back! They will be safe, you don't have to worry too much. Even if they go home, there is also Ling's shop over there. I have already told the shopkeeper and Wenbo .If something really happens, people from the Ling family will come forward to help them."

"It always makes my cousin worry about our family affairs."
"What do you say in the family, you are my aunt's child, and in my eyes you are my own sister." Ling Ziye smiled.I personally helped Li Xin into the carriage, "As long as you live well! I should worry about it. We are a family, so don't think about it, maybe one day! The Ling family will need your help Woolen cloth!"

"I still want to thank my cousin."

"Silly girl. I'll take you back." Ling Ziye flew onto the horse.

"No need, there are guards who will protect me. I'm afraid my cousin won't be free, so you should deal with your own affairs earlier!"

"It's not that far away, I'll take you back!" Ling Ziye said as he waved his whip.

Seeing Ling Ziye's tall and straight figure, Li Xin smiled.In fact, my cousin has always been very kind to her, and she will remember this kindness. In the future, as long as my cousin needs her help, she will definitely do it with all her efforts.He always thinks about her in everything, and he thinks clearly about everything for her.

Such a man!Speaking of cousin Yushu Linfeng, he is in full bloom, there should be many people who like him!I don't know why he doesn't like anyone anymore. Does he like men?
It seems impossible!Didn't he still have a housemate?She really hoped that her cousin would have a good marriage and be happy all his life.

After returning to the corner gate outside Dongyuan, Li Xin invited Ling Ziye to come in and have a sit down. They were relatives, so there was no reason not to come in and sit down.After entering the room, she found that Yin Yuling was also there. Yin Yuling was a little embarrassed to see Ling Ziye among the people entering the room.Although I am looking forward to meeting you, it is still a little awkward to meet like this.

"Yu Ling, you're here! I'm going to see Wenbo and the others off, and my cousin is also there, so I invite him to sit down." Li Xin said with a smile, and asked the maids to make tea and get melon and fruit snacks.

"Brother Ziye, sit down!" Yin Yuling said with a smile.

The three of them sat down, Li Xin started talking, and the awkwardness between Yin Yuling and Ling Ziye gradually became less.In fact, they were two people who got along very well!Gradually, the old feeling came back.

"By the way, I came here to look for sister-in-law this time because I have something to give to sister-in-law." Yin Yuling smiled and opened the box she brought.Li Xin looked inside the box, but it was white fluffy cotton, it looked very warm and soft, she took it in her hands and played with it.

In the past, she was looking forward to seeing cotton, it was a good thing after all!

It's just that she has never had a chance, and she doesn't know many people who go to sea, so it's really not easy to rashly find someone to bring things.Later, more and more things happened, but I gradually forgot about this matter.

Seeing him so suddenly now, Li Xin was really surprised.Things in the world are like this, maybe when you look for it deliberately, you can't find it, but when it's time to see it, you can find it without any effort.

"This is a cotton ball. Uncle Huang came back from the border a few years ago. He gave me some. I put it in the box and forgot about it. Because I rummaged through the old things in the past two days, I dug it out. Yes, it looks intact, so let’s use it for my sister-in-law to play with! I heard that the local people also use it to make quilts and stuffed pillows! But the emperor didn’t bring many back, so I haven’t tried it.”

"Uncle Huang? Are you talking about King Xiang?" Li Xin asked.

"That's right! It's the little emperor uncle! The emperor always went out to war a few years ago, and occasionally brought back some things from the border."

"Then did he mention that there are many of these things in the local area?"

"There shouldn't be many! They seem to be wild, and no one will plant them on purpose, so there can't be many. Uncle Huang probably thinks they are fluffy, and we girls will like them! Do you like them, sister-in-law?"

"I like it." Li Xin had a bright smile on his face.Did not expect to get cotton under such circumstances!It's just that these cottons have been placed for several years, and the seeds should not germinate.If you really want to grow cotton, you may have to go to the border to collect seeds.

"Since my sister-in-law likes it, let's keep it for fun! I still have some things to do, so I'll go first." After finishing speaking, Yin Yuling stood up and left.

Li Xin personally sent Yin Yuling out, and when he came back, he saw Ling Ziye playing with cotton. "This thing is really soft and feels warm. If it is really made into a quilt or filled with pillows, it should be very good." Ling Ziye said with a smile.

"My cousin is really right. It is really suitable to make a quilt, but the filling of the pillow is a bit hard, not as good as Panzhihua's. Panzhihua's pillows are lightly tapped, and the pillows that are a little bit firm will swell up again. But It is very suitable for making quilts, although it may not be comparable to silk, but if you plant cotton on an acre of land, how much can you harvest! If you plant an acre of mulberry trees to raise silkworms, you can’t actually raise much.”

"How do you know? Have you seen this thing before?"

"I haven't seen it, but I've heard of it. It's Yue Ting's adoptive father. He once went to sea, and the cotton cloth he brought back from overseas was sent to Ling's house. Cousin, do you remember? Cotton cloth is It is woven out of this cotton. The output of cotton is huge, and if it is planted in a large area, people in the whole country will no longer have to fear the cold.”

"Cotton cloth?" Ling Ziye thought about it carefully, "I remembered that there was indeed such a thing, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Cotton cloth is really good. It's different from silk and satin. It has a unique touch! If it's like you What I said is really a good thing." After saying this, I became a little interested.

The two of them talked about it in detail. In the previous life, Li Xin knew a lot about Cotton Cotton, so they naturally spoke clearly and logically.She also briefly talked about the cotton production she had seen, Ling Ziye was very happy.

In fact, she is also very happy. It is really a unique feeling to see cotton!It's been so many years since I touched it, in fact, she misses it very much.Miss cotton, although satin is also good, but she still prefers cotton in her heart.Cotton can also be woven into a variety of exquisite fabrics!

In fact, she still thinks cotton is the most comfortable for clothes.Linen is too rough, while satin is too smooth, and it is still uncomfortable to wear close-fitting clothes.However, the cotton cloth presented by the Zheng family has long since been used up, and there is nowhere to buy it.

"If it's really that good, I really should look for the seeds." Ling Ziye said.

"Cousin is going to ask someone to find the seeds?" Li Xin looked excited.

"But I don't know what a cotton tree looks like! This is what it looks like when it's in bloom. If it's not in bloom, it should be hard to find!"

"It's not a flower! Cotton is like Panzhihua, it's not like this when it blooms. This is what it looks like when it bears fruit and then explodes." Li Xin said with a smile. "Look at the seeds in here, but after a long time, it should be useless."

"But I'm afraid it's useless to find a tree. We still need seeds. Even if we find a tree in such a long way, we won't be able to bring it back. It seems that it's only appropriate to go when the seeds are about to mature."

"I can't help you with this, and only my cousin can arrange it himself. But ah! If there are any questions about planting, I can answer them. I just know the best about planting crops."
