Chapter 367 Xiao Mo's Intentions
"My queen, why did the prince put several pieces of cotton fabric in the box? The box must be more expensive than the cotton fabric."
When Luzhu was taking out the cloth, she looked at several pieces of cotton cloth with a confused look on her face.
She is a maid and what she is wearing is not ordinary cotton cloth. It is really strange that the prince would give some cotton cloth to the princess.
"The prince gave me cotton cloth, but not for me to wear."
Tearing open a roll of cotton cloth, Ye Jintang examined it carefully. The cotton cloth in his hand was slightly coarser than the cotton cloth in the capital, and the color was relatively simple, basically blue, gray, or blue and gray woven together. As for the patterns, they were even simpler, most of them were plain woven without patterns. There was one piece with a pattern, but it was also an ordinary pattern, nothing outstanding.
Looking at the hem of the cloth, it was much rougher than any cotton cloth she had seen before, but the quality was good. She pulled it with her hands but didn't break the cotton thread.
"Isn't it for the Majesty? What are they for? I see that the fabrics are quite thick. They must be very warm for winter clothes."
"The prince sent me the cotton cloth to tell me that the cities around Ningchuan City are rich in cotton, and the quality is very good, but their textile technology is not good. The yarn and cloth spun from the good cotton are not even a little bit worse than those in the capital."
"The prince wants me to do some research to see if we can make use of the cotton in Ningchuan Prefecture."
"At the same time, the prince also wanted to tell me that he has taken care of several other cities. Now I can focus on the agriculture of Ningchuan Prefecture."
When Luzhu heard Ye Jintang say this, she was dumbfounded. She never guessed that there was so much information contained in just a few pieces of cloth.
Putting the cloth aside, Ye Jintang continued to open the box and unwrap the gifts.
There were several large boxes in the back, all filled with wool products such as wool carpets. Among them was an extremely delicate lamb blanket. Ye Jintang touched it with his hand, but could not feel the seams of the sheepskin.
"Lvzhu put the lamb blanket on the Luohan bed. It is so soft and sticky that it must be very warm to cover your legs."
"Yes."
The boxes that were opened next were smaller ones, and the contents ranged from daily necessities to all kinds of beautiful jewelry.
The people of Ningchuan City are rough and the jewelry here is also more unrestrained.
Beautiful gold hairpins are often inlaid with thumb-sized pearls, or large pieces of southern red or beeswax.
"Will such a big hairpin hurt your neck if it is inserted into your head?"
Ye Jintang took out a gold hairpin inlaid in the shape of a sunflower from a red velvet box. The sunflower petals on it were inlaid with colorful tourmalines. The whole hairpin felt heavy in his hand.
"My lady, don't you think that the golden hairpin is very beautiful?"
"It's not only beautiful, but also very luxurious."
Ye Jintang couldn't imagine how eye-catching she would be when she went out wearing such a luxurious gold hairpin.
She felt that the sunflower gold hairpin was exaggerated enough, but when she opened the other box, she realized that the hairpin was too restrained.
In the box was a gold bracelet thicker than a thumb, inlaid with a circle of rubies, which was very eye-catching.
"The ruby bracelet probably weighs half a pound."
When Ye Jintang put the bracelet on her hand, she felt it was too heavy. The gold bracelets she usually wore were not as thick as a chopstick and were hollow inside.
"It must be tiring to wear such a heavy bracelet on your hand."
Luzhu helped Ye Jintang take off the bracelet, but she also felt it was too heavy.
"Isn't it possible that all the remaining boxes are filled with gold?"
Ye Jintang glanced at the table and saw more than 30 boxes of different sizes on the floor.
"not sure."
Luzhu laughed softly. It seemed that the prince had gained a lot from this trip, as he gave the princess so many gold jewelry.
Box after box was opened, and just as Ye Jintang had expected, most of them contained gold items, and there was even a golden Buddha and a statue of Guanyin, the goddess of fertility.
In addition to the gold items, there was also a box of pearls and a box of various gemstones.
"Lüzhu put all the gold items in my small storeroom, and the rest in the big storeroom."
"My lady, why don't you leave a few of them in the house?"
Xiao Mo gave her so many things. If she didn't keep any of them, Xiao Mo would probably be disappointed when he saw them. But when Ye Jintang thought of those golden heads, she felt a headache.
"Leave the sunflower gold hairpin and the box of colorful beads. I will make a multi-treasure bracelet."
"Yes."
Luzhu placed a box of beads on the small table. The box was filled with various beads, including hollow gold beads, solid beads, perforated pearls, as well as brightly colored agate, amber, and various gemstone beads.
The colorful beads were of different sizes. Ye Jintang carefully selected beads of the same size, and took out a few from her space, preparing to weave them into a multi-treasure bracelet.
When she was looking for beads in the space, she saw a medicinal bead that she had made with the extra medicine when she was making longevity pills a few days ago. After thinking about it, she picked out some slightly larger beads and made a multi-treasure bracelet for Xiao Mo.
The multi-treasure bracelet the man wore was slightly larger. Ye Jintang compared them for a long time before picking out a multi-treasure bracelet of the same size. After she finished stringing them together, she added a lucky knot.
After she finished weaving Xiao Mo's Duobao bracelet, she realized it was late at night. She yawned, then went to wash up and go to bed. As for her own bracelet, she would finish it tomorrow.
Ye Jintang, who was half asleep, only felt someone lifting the gauze curtain on her bed. Just as she was about to open her eyes, a familiar breath with a chill blew in her face.
"My Lord, you are back."
Ye Jintang wanted to get up, but Xiao Mo held him tightly in his arms.
"Don't move, let me hold you for a while."
Perhaps Xiao Mo's familiar breath made Ye Jintang feel extremely at ease. She rubbed Xiao Mo's unshaven cheek and whispered, "I'm so sleepy."
"Go on to sleep."
Ye Jintang, who was half asleep and half awake, wanted to say a few words to Xiao Mo, but she was so sleepy that she fell asleep before she could say anything.
After a good night's sleep, Ye Jintang woke up when the sun was already high in the sky.
She rubbed her eyes, still a little confused. Did she dream that Xiao Mo came back last night? And there were many inappropriate things in the dream.
No, why did she feel that dream was so real?
Only then did Ye Jintang realize that the pajamas he had put on last night were not only wrinkled, but the buttons were also buttoned in the wrong place. It must have been that bastard Xiao Mo who did it last night.
He felt her all over and was just one step away from eating her out.
Ye Jintang got up and washed up. The multi-treasure bracelet that belonged to Xiao Mo on the small table was gone, and it was replaced by a slightly smaller multi-treasure bracelet.
She picked it up and examined it carefully. The auspicious knot was a little rough, and there was an extra wooden bead on the bracelet. She put it to her nose and smelled it, and found that it was a precious agarwood bead.
It seems that Xiao Mo was quite free last night and even had time to help her weave the Duobao bracelet.
"Luzhu, where is the prince?"
Ye Jintang casually put the bracelet on his wrist and liked it more and more the more he looked at it.
"The prince went out with General Shi early in the morning."
"Oh."
"Did you say where you were going?"
"The prince didn't say anything, he just told me not to wake the queen."
