Chapter 493 Bad news

"It's still early! If the seeds are really found, I really want to ask Xin'er for your help." Ling Ziye said with a smile.

"I've been thinking about this kind of seed for a long time, but I have never been able to get it. I always thought that it was only available overseas, and I had to go to sea to get it. I didn't expect cotton to appear in the northwest. If it can really spread, it would be a good thing." Good thing." Li Xin smiled slightly.

Although silk is good for keeping warm, it is rare, so the price is relatively expensive.Sericulture is laborious and laborious, but the output is not high after paying so much heart.The output is not high, so it is expensive.

The numbness and warmth retention effect is not good, and it is too rough.It's just that poor families can only afford linen.

It is said that there is also kapok, but kapok can also keep warm. It can be filled with quilts and pillows, and it is also suitable for making padded jackets.However, kapok cannot be weaved, and the output of kapok is very scarce.That is to say, there are wild kapok trees in some places in the southwest, and no one has planted them, so naturally there will not be many.
Moreover, kapok trees are thorny and difficult to pick.You can only pick it up when it falls, or hit it with a long pole.Anyway, it is very difficult, after all, it is not as good as the cotton grown.

Cotton is also produced in a year, even perennial cotton can bloom and bear fruit every year, unlike kapok that only blooms for many years.

Another point is that cotton will not occupy the land all the time. If it is planted this year, if there is enough cotton, it will be fine not to plant it next year.

In her opinion, cotton is also an indispensable thing in life.

"If it is as you said, it is naturally a matter of benefiting the people. I will deal with this matter as soon as possible, so you don't have to worry about it. The most important thing is to raise the fetus at home. When the seeds are found, you can do it again. It's not too late to worry. When the seeds arrive in the capital, you'll probably have given birth to a child by then."

After talking for a while, Ling Ziye stood up to say goodbye.Liuchen is not around, so it is not good for him to stay in Dongyuan for a long time.Although Xin'er is his cousin, she is not his own sister after all. If there is that nonsense that likes to gossip, it will be very bad for Xin'er.

Ling Ziye has been in charge of so many businesses of the Ling family, and has always been a busy person, so Li Xin sent him out without much restraint.

"Cousin will come over more when he is free."

"Okay, I'll come and see you when I'm free. The weather is still a bit cold, so go back to the house!" Ling Ziye walked away.

After returning to the house, Li Xin put away the cotton.It's just a few balls, and it can't do much, but it can be used as decoration.I haven't seen cotton for many years, and I really miss it.

The world she used to live in has become farther and farther away from her, and many people and things there have gradually faded away, and she has really adapted to life here.Now that she has a home and everything, she is really satisfied in her current life, and she no longer thinks about the past life.

Although she knew that that life really existed, occasionally she would think of some people and things.After all, it was the place where she had lived for so many years!Even if the one who has been far away can never go back, it can't really forget.

"Girl, is this cotton really that good?" Caiyun asked curiously.It seems that the girl always knows a lot of things, but this is the first time she has seen this cotton!I didn't expect the girl to say a lot of uses.

"Of course it's fine, but you don't feel much about it now. You'll know when you really plant more and make something." Li Xin smiled. "Haven't you seen cotton cloth? If you grow more cotton, you can also weave cotton cloth. I still think cotton cloth is more comfortable to wear than silk."

"It's true what the girl said. Cotton cloth does feel better. Although silk is good, it's too silky, and it doesn't absorb sweat, and the silk will come out when you gently hook it." Caixia said.

The batch of cotton cloth that the Zheng family gave to the Li family was divided by Li Xin, and the few cotton cloths left for his own family were made into close-fitting clothes. At that time, everyone in the family had them, including Caiyun and Caixia.Although cotton cloth was rare at that time, Li Xin didn't feel the need to be stingy.Good things naturally have to be shared with everyone to be interesting.

"I don't know if Eldest Young Master can find the seeds." Caiyun also had a little more hope.

"Since there are some seeds in the local area, we can naturally find the seeds. There must be no problem. It doesn't matter if you have to pay some money!" She believed that her cousin would definitely let someone bring the seeds back.Who is the cousin!If you can't even do such a little thing, how can you control such a big family business as the Ling family.

Li Xin's life became very peaceful, most of the time she was in the East Garden, or went to the main courtyard to pay her respects.I don't go out very much, and when I go out, I just go to see Concubine Liu's children.

Qingyue did not come to look for her, and Concubine Liu should still be alive.Thinking about it this way, she really hoped that Concubine Liu would get better, and even if she couldn't, she would at least live longer.Concubine Liu loves Yin Yi so much, she must hope to see Yin Yi again!She really hoped that she would never hear bad news.

The nanny took care of the child very hard, and the child was well taken care of.White and fat, children grow the fastest at this time, and it feels like they have changed after a few days.The better it looks, the white and tender look makes people like it.The arms and legs are like lotus roots, and the eyeballs are rolling like black grapes soaked in clear water.

Because Concubine Liu's health was not good after the child was born, she was still taken by the nanny all the time, and Concubine Liu didn't have much energy to take care of the child.So we left the child, and because there was a nanny by my side, the child did not cry very much.

A child brought up by a nanny since he was a child is destined not to be very close to his mother!Especially in wealthy families, the nanny takes care of the children most of the time, and the mother's concern for the children is not enough.

Although Li Xin never wanted to hear any bad news, it was not what people wanted.On February [-]th, Qingyue went to Kang Wang's mansion to look for Li Xin.

Only when Li Xin saw her did she know that Concubine Liu had passed away a few days ago, because the Liu family did not show up, so the funeral was very simple and no one was disturbed.Fortunately, Concubine Liu had a lot of savings during her lifetime, so Qingyue managed to make the funeral less miserable.

Seeing Li Xin, Qingyue fell to her knees crying.

"Don't be too sad, she passed away peacefully after all!" Li Xin asked Caiyun to help Qingyue up. "Although she couldn't wait for the prince to come back, fortunately, the child is fine, and she should leave with peace of mind."

"Indeed, after the master entrusted the little master to the concubine, he really felt at ease." Qingyue nodded.

"In the end, it's her blessing to have a loyal girl like you by her side. It's just that you've been with her for so many years, and you're getting older, so you shouldn't keep procrastinating like this A home. Don't even think about serving some little master, after all, finding a home is the most important thing.

"Didn't your master cancel your slavery? You are considered free. You have good appearance and character. It is not difficult to find a good home. If you don't dislike it, you can stay with me first, or come to your little one. Go to where the master lives. When you have someone you like and want to get married, you can leave at any time, and I will prepare a decent dowry for you."

Until Concubine Liu came to such a situation, Qingyue would never leave her. Such a loyal servant is really respectable and worthy of respect.

Not everyone has such a blessing, Qingyue can be so loyal, presumably Liu Fangfei should be good to the people around her!

"The servant girl doesn't want to go anywhere, she just wants to serve the little master by his side and watch the little master grow up."

"I will let someone take good care of my child, and it won't be long. When your prince returns to Beijing, the child will naturally be sent back. You can also rest assured, who is your prince? Take care of yourself It's easy for children. Don't always delay yourself like this. After all, you don't have any relatives. You can only worry about these things yourself, and you can't expect anyone to find you a good person.

"Besides, it's not for others to help you see whether a person is good or not. You still have to see for yourself."

"The servant knows."

"It's good that you understand it in your heart. Since you want to go there, I'll send someone to take you there." Li Xin asked someone to prepare the carriage.

Qingyue opened her bag and took out a box. When she opened the box, it turned out to be a stack of banknotes, some gold and silver jewelry, a farm in the suburbs of Beijing and two shops in the city.There are a lot of bank notes, and the farm is also very big, the shop is also in a good location, and the shop is also spacious.

It turned out that Concubine Liu had quite a few private houses.

"The concubine should help the servant to keep these things first! It is not appropriate for a servant to carry these things, and it is even worse if they are missed by others. I hope the concubine can accept it. After all, it is necessary to take care of the little master next time." It costs a lot."

"Forget it, since that's the case, I'll keep it first. From now on, these things will naturally belong to your little master, and they can be regarded as a little thought left by your mother." Li Xin put the box away.It is indeed inappropriate for Qingyue to carry so much property, for fear of causing disaster if she is not careful. "When you live there, if you need anything, you can tell the people in the house. I have explained everything, and no one will make things difficult for you." Li Xin took two small bank notes to Qingyue. "This is for your daily expenses. Girls, there are always some things to buy that you can't tell others, so use these money."

"Thank you, Crown Princess."

"You don't have to thank me. Since your master entrusted you and the child to me, I naturally can't treat you badly. Just think of me as looking for your prince's face!" Regarding Yin Yi's matter, she really It cannot be ignored.

After all, she failed him, and taking care of his children should be taken as a way to alleviate her guilt!
