Early in the morning, Yan Qi's daughter-in-law went to the entrance of the village to grind wheat. Someone came to the mill and shouted: "There are clothes sellers outside, cotton ones, and they are cheap!"

It was said that the people chatting in the mill looked like a group of big white geese stretching their necks, all looked at that person.

An old lady said: "Cotton clothes? Cheap? Don't talk nonsense!" Everyone knows that cotton is rare, and cotton clothes are even more expensive.

"I'm serious!" The man stomped his feet, "A jacket filled with cotton is only five or six hundred cash, but it's thick!"

Five or six hundred words?

Now everyone is interested.

The leather jackets worn in winter cost one or two taels of silver. If the year is not good, fifty taels is normal, and a padded jacket is only five hundred cash, which is a great bargain!

"Go and see, go and see," shouted the people in the mill.

Since Tong Ran came, life in Wujia Village has gotten better and better, and everyone has begun to be willing to spend money on things that have nothing to do with food.But winter leather jackets are too expensive for ordinary people, so if there are cheap alternatives, everyone is happy to take a look.

Yan Qi's daughter-in-law also put down the wheat and followed these people to the entrance of the village.

Her family, Yan Shishi, has been doing well in recent years.

When Zhuoyang Mansion built roads before, he was recruited into the engineering team and became a steward because he worked with Mr. Tong.He did a good job in the team, gathered the seeds of righteousness through his hard work, and reached the yellow rank. At a young age, he got a job in the government office of Zhuoyang Mansion, which made others envious.

Because of having a good son, Yan Qi's daughter-in-law has a straight back, and now at home, even if she is the youngest daughter-in-law, her in-laws, brothers and sisters-in-law don't dare to show embarrassment easily.

Yan Shishi didn't know how to take care of himself, so Yan Qi's daughter-in-law thought, if this padded jacket was good, she would buy one and ask someone to take it, so that Yan Shishi, who was alone outside, would not suffer from the cold.

The stall selling cotton padded jackets is on the side of the cement road outside the village, and many people are already crowded there to choose.Yan Qi's daughter-in-law squeezed into the crowd, obediently, not only jackets, but also cotton clothes and trousers, as well as quilt covers, bed sheets, and cotton blankets that she had never heard of.

"How do you use this cotton blanket!" Yan Qi's daughter-in-law asked.

"Put it in the quilt cover, or put it on the bed, it will be warmer!" The seller said, his name is Xu Feng, and he is the manager of Huang's firm.Since their boss started cooperating with Inspector Tong, their business has been booming and they have made a lot of money. Even their subordinates have also received a lot of rewards.

This time, inspector Tong's cotton factory concentrated shipments and contacted them for distribution. Naturally, their owner did their part and quickly arranged for people to set up stalls in various townships and counties.

The stuff from the cotton factory is good and the price is affordable, they don’t even need to call it anything, and the villagers rush to buy it.

"I want this cotton coat! And that cotton blanket!" The goods were being sold out quickly, and Yan Qi's daughter-in-law didn't dare to delay, she snatched the things and paid for them, holding the cotton coat and cotton blanket happily gone back.

Xu Feng set up a stall for a while, and within half an hour, everything on the stall was sold out.

Tong Ran glanced at the ledger sent by Mrs. Huang. The sales of the cotton factory were very good, and almost all of them were sold out.Ke Yang, who had been watching the excitement, said that there are many wealthy households who buy cart by cart, and a family can empty a stall.

Ke Yang spoke with admiration, but Tong Ran frowned.

He produces cheap cotton-padded clothes and quilts, which are bought for ordinary people to spend the winter. Why are these wealthy households joining in the fun?

But since they are also willing to use cotton products, next time they can do something more expensive, such as asking an embroiderer to embroider a little pattern on the quilt, or try to dye some rare colors, or directly dye cotton thread, and then use some more The exquisite weaving method makes the cotton cloth look as beautiful as brocade.

Tong Ran didn't understand these crafts, so he had to find a way to find good craftsmen in places like Jiangliu and Wanghai where there were many weavers and embroiderers.This is not in a hurry. If you want to prevent the rich from buying everything, just place a purchase restriction order. For example, one person can only buy two cotton blankets.

Tong Ran was very happy when the cotton blanket was made.Before the cotton factory shipped this time, he cheated on public affairs and changed his bedding from silk to cotton.Although the silk ones are more expensive, but he is used to cotton fabrics, and the silk ones always feel like there is nothing to cover his body.

A layer of cotton blanket was put on Tong Ran's bed, and then cotton sheets were covered, and the pillows and quilts were also replaced with cotton ones.

Tong Ran liked it very much, but the little tiger looked disgusted.

"Wow!" The little tiger flipped the quilt with its front paws and called out to Tong Ran.

"Do you like the new quilt?" Tong Ran smiled.

"Wow!" the little tiger protested.He was used to brocades from his nap, and he didn't like rough cottons at all.

"There's nothing you can do if you don't like it. I let Dongqing wash your quilt." Tong Ran said, "You see, Xiaohu likes it very much."

The little tiger glared at him. Of course that kitten liked it. It had never used such a good thing as brocade.

Two days ago, under the pretext of being too cold outside, Tong Ran moved the kitten's sleeping nest into the main room.The little tiger was reluctant at first, but the cat was smart, so it meowed twice, acting coquettishly with the tiger, and finally Zai Zai allowed it to enter the house with a cold face.

But one size is one size, and the cat sleeps in, so how can you change its quilt?

"Wow!" The little tiger pushed back the quilt by two inches with his front paws.Before the claws could be retracted, it was picked up again and fell into a piece of silky and soft brocade.

"Look, it's comfortable like this." Tong Ran's voice came from above.

The little tiger stood up, only to realize that he was held in Tong Ran's arms, and Tong Ran had already changed into a satin pajamas.The shape of the pajamas is a bit strange, the top and bottom are divided into two pieces, and there is no belt, the left and right sides of the top are connected by round things, the satin is soft and slippery, fit on Tong Ran's body, he His body temperature is transmitted through the silk and satin unreservedly.

The little tiger was startled, its fur exploded, as if it had been scalded, and hurriedly escaped from Tong Ran's arms.

But Tong Ran hugged it even tighter, and taught: "It's late, it's time to go to bed, don't make trouble, be good." Then he hugged it and forced himself into bed.

"Wow!" The little tiger pushed his chest with its claws.

Tong Ran was unmoved, and hugged the tiger even tighter.

The little tiger felt his whole body was hot, especially his face.Does the little servant know what he is doing?In the past, Tong Ran's pajamas would not be so snug even if he squeezed into the quilt, but this time, he could even feel the undulating lines of his muscles.

The boy's chest has not yet opened, and it is a little green. The little tiger opened his head, and seemed to have scratched something while moving.

"Sleep well." Tong Ran's voice was a little blurred when she remembered it.

The little tiger didn't dare to move anymore, stared blankly for a while, then closed his eyes.

In the hall of Xuanshi, Chu Jun sat up from the bed, and it seemed that there was still a boy's temperature on his cheek, so he couldn't help touching it.

"Your Majesty, are you awake? My little one is waiting for you to change." Su Jin said outside the curtain.

"Wait." Chu Jun said.It was obvious that he was the only one in the curtain, but it seemed that there was another person's temperature permeating it. The temperature was a little hot, and it made him spin around.

"Su Jin." Chu Jun was quiet for a moment before he opened his mouth and said, "The decree continues, Xuan Jinhe Supervisor Tong Ran will come to Beijing to report on his duties."

A few days ago, both the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households had asked him to make an appointment in the dispute about the harvest, but Chu Jun suppressed the matter without saying a word.

In fact, this matter was originally very simple. He made a decree to transfer Tong Ran to Beijing and give him a position in the Ministry of Industry or the Ministry of Household Affairs.Even if the official rank is not high, this is a great gift to most local officials. He doesn't have to have burdens, and he doesn't have so many benefits to weigh, but he hesitates.

The courtiers only said that he didn't know whether he should put him in the Ministry of Industry or the Ministry of Household Affairs, so he postponed it for the time being, but it was impossible for him to think that his delay in making an order was because he was trying to figure out Tong Ran's thoughts.

Tong Ran said that he has other plans. It seems that he wants to build something called a train. He has been drawing the design these days.This kid was so busy that he didn't even want to go back to the government office. If he was suddenly called to the capital, he would think that the emperor was too much.

"Your Majesty." Su Jindai made up his will, lifted a corner of the curtain, and asked Chu Jun to have a look.Although Su Jin lowered his brows, but he was too close, he still caught a glimpse of half of Chu Jun's face.

His Majesty actually laughed again.

Chu Jun and his party looked over and saw that the decree was well written, and it was the bearing that a king of a country should have. Those impulsive selfishness were covered up to nothing, as if things should be like this.

He is the king of a country, so if he is asked to come, he must come.

But don't push it too hard, he doesn't even know how to rest when he has time.

Chu Jun closed his eyes: "Go and announce the decree in person, don't rush too much, he will still live in my side hall after he comes."

"Your Majesty," Su Jin originally wanted to say that this was inappropriate, but he opened his mouth and swallowed the words again.

It's not uncommon for His Majesty to get up in the middle of the night, and it's not uncommon for His Majesty to draft an order as soon as he opens his eyes, but it's a bit inconsistent with common sense to announce a small inspector to report on his duties.

And His Majesty actually told him not to urge Tong Ran.

Thunder, rain and dew are all the favor of the king, and if His Majesty summons him, there is no reason to delay.Not to mention that His Majesty guessed that he was going to dawdle, but he still deliberately let it go.Compared to these, granting a side hall seems nothing.

"Changing clothes for me." Chu Jun didn't give Su Jin more time to think, he got up and got out of the curtain.

Su Jin hurriedly recruited people to come forward and change Chu Jun's clothes.

Three days later, the guard of honor for the announcement of the decree arrived at the Jinhe Supervisor, and all the workers from the cotton factory and the mining area ran out to watch the excitement, and surrounded the gate of the supervisor's mansion with water.

"How long have you been in?"

"Time for a stick of incense?"

"More than that, it's been a while!"

As soon as Su Jin came, he was welcomed into the yamen by Tong Ran's people, and went to the main hall where Tong Ran usually received guests.

The miners and cotton factory workers could only stay outside the gate of the yamen, looking in curiously, as if they could see the main hall through the screen wall and the front yard if their necks were long enough.

After Su Jin announced the decree, Tong Ran accepted the decree, but he hesitated to speak after getting up.

The little tiger stood on the tea table in the first seat, staring at him without blinking.

"Eunuch Su," Tong Ran said, "I had some plans to deal with, but His Majesty suddenly invited me to Beijing. It's really... inconvenient."

Tong Ran didn't say no, but relied on his relationship with Su Jin to make things easier.

He had a lot of plans at the end of the year, and he didn't have time to do things, so he really didn't want to waste time in the capital.What's more, next year is the big plan for assessing officials. Although he is a local official, he has to go to Beijing to participate in the Beijing inspection because of his special status as a mine supervisor. If he leaves now, wouldn't he have to stay in Beijing until next year?

Su Jin was ashamed, this ancestor really dared to delay the time to face the saint, he hurriedly said with a smile: "Your Majesty ordered that there is no need to rush, Master Tong will leave in a few days."

It would be nice to have a few more days, but it's just about the train, he probably has to move back.Tong Ran picked up the little tiger and asked, "Zaizai can still enter the palace with me?"

"Of course." Su Jin said, it's just a small milk tiger, there is plenty of space in the palace.

"Wow!" The little tiger scratched Tong Ran.

"Zaizai also want to go?" Tong Ran smiled, "Then let's go."
