Du Shaoqing looked at his confident daughter in surprise and said in surprise: "You know? I heard it right, how could you know good daughter? You can't be the friend who fought with you in Chang'an.

Dad is busy with big things, so he can't make trouble."

Xiao Xuanxuan muttered and curled her lips, her cheeks were so round and round, "I haven't made trouble, and now I'm not going to fight secretly."

I really know each other. In the clothes shop I often go to, I know a mother-in-law, who is said to be the first person to weave cloth in Chang'an City."

oh???

Du Shaoqing became interested in it, but why did he forget that his daughter is a little princess in the fashion industry in Chang'an? She likes flowery clothes the most. The place she goes to is the clothing store. It is not uncommon to be able to know the strange people and things in the clothing store.

But she said that the number one person weaving cloth in Chang'an is true? It's even more clever than the one in the palace?

After asking a few questions carefully, he found that his daughter was very well-known. Du Shaoqing decided to go and meet this expert for a while. Since he wanted to enter the silk weaving industry, he naturally had to recruit soldiers first. There were indeed masters in the palace, but the manpower was still insufficient.

The next day, Du Shaoqing took his daughter to a shop called Jinxiu Preparatory Clothes in Dongcheng City. This is not the most popular ready-to-wear shop in Dongcheng City, but it is the favorite family of his daughter Xiao Xuanxuan. I don’t know if it is because of the old lady here.

"Grandma Shanggong, Xuanxuan is here to see you." Before entering the door, Xiao Xuanxuan shouted happily, which shows her love for this place.

Soon an old response came from inside, and it could be heard from his tone that the other party was very familiar with Xiao Xuanxuan.

The shopkeeper at the counter in the garment shop smiled and greeted Xiao Xuanxuan. Seeing that there was an adult, Xiao Xuanxuan introduced that it was her father, and the other party hurriedly saluted Du Shaoqing.

Soon, the father and daughter were taken to the backyard of the ready-made clothing shop. An old man was sitting in front of a used loom, skillfully woving the cloth. Du Shaoqing thought to himself that this technique was not inferior to the weaver girl in the palace.

The old man turned around and saw Xiao Xuanxuan who was pounced on him. He stopped his work and held him lovingly, "Xiao Xuanxuan hasn't seen her mother-in-law for many days. The weather is getting colder. Her mother-in-law is still thinking about making you a new dress."

Xuanxuan narrowed her eyes happily and thanked her. Without waiting for a few greetings, the shopkeeper introduced her: "Mother-in-law, this is Princess Xuanxuan's father, that is, Mr. Du, the current Prince Du, said she came to you specifically."

Hearing this, the old lady slowly stood up, Du Shaoqing stepped forward to greet him respectfully, the Tang Dynasty valued filial piety and respected the elderly. Although Du Shaoqing had an official position, he should also hold a tribute in front of the elderly.

"Where can I have the son-in-law be condemned by my family? But is there anything?" The old lady dressed in plain clothes but was very elegant. Du Shaoqing felt very different. She thought that the other party had an extraordinary background.

"I came here uninvited and disturbed my senior's tranquility. But I encountered a problem recently. I needed to find a master who was proficient in weaving. I heard that the little girl said that you have extraordinary skills, so I came to ask for advice."

"I don't have to be polite to Lao Shi and Xiao Xuanxuan, and sit down and talk.

I wonder what the prince-consort has to do?” The old lady pulled Xuanxuan and brought Du Shaoqing to the back hall, and the maid was already serving tea.

Du Shaoqing took out a small bag of cotton and handed it over, "You always look at this thing."

"Oh? Baidiezi? This thing originated from Gaochang and is rare in the Central Plains. As far as I know, I am afraid that only His Majesty's imperial garden can be planted in some light."

Du Shaoqing's eyes lit up, "You have good eyesight and you can actually recognize this thing.

It is the white fold. The thing that I am worried about is that I want to weave this white fold into cloth, but this thing contains seeds. I need to remove the seeds first and then try to weave the cloth. I wonder if my seniors have any solutions?"

The shopkeeper next to him laughed: "You guys don't know what my mother-in-law is. My mother-in-law's surname is Cui. When she was young, she was also a figure in the palace. She was the first Shanggong, the sixth-rank Shanggong, and was the famous first person in Chang'an in the weaving industry during the reign of Emperor Daye. There is nothing she could not weave.

Not to mention this white fold, even if you give her a handful of hair, you can knit a handkerchief for you.”

This... Du Shaoqing was shocked and stared at the silver-haired old man in a daze. After making a fuss for a long time, this person was really a master.

When Du Shaoqing heard that he could even weave his hair, a thought flashed through his mind, but he failed to capture this inspiration. He always felt that he had missed something important.

After shook his head, Du Shaoqing began to ask for help from the old man.

The old lady waved her hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I've just been serving silk for the rest of my life. I'll see more and be familiar with it.

White folds have the effect of weaving into white folds in the Gaochang area, but because the seeds are difficult to remove and the local weaving power is low, it is not very popular. I have had contact with them when I was in the palace, so it is not difficult to weave them in the imitation of kapok.

It’s just that I did not produce this thing in the Tang Dynasty, so I didn’t look into it in depth.

I remember people say that Gaochang was all artificially removed seeds. Although this method is slow, it is not undesirable. After all, there are many people from the Tang Dynasty."

Du Shaoqing smiled bitterly and said, "Don't joke, it's true that we are the people in the Tang Dynasty, but there are more places to use people. How many kilograms can one peel off this thing by hand? So it's absolutely impossible.

The younger generation also thought that after making this, it could create cheap cloth, and even replace mai and enter all the people of the Tang Dynasty for heating in winter. Artificial work is not possible, and a convenient machine is necessary."

oh??

Hearing this, the old lady looked up at Du Shaoqing seriously, and nodded in approval for a moment: "The folk rumor is that Du Fu is the best to make money, but it turns out that he is biased.

The prince-in-law came to find her old body not to make money, but to get rid of the suffering of cold and hunger, which is admirable.

I should do my best to keep this thing, give me a few days to find a way to inform my son-in-law.”

Du Shaoqing was overjoyed. Seeing the old lady's confident expression, she thought she had a skill, so she quickly got up and bowed, and said that she would send more experimental samples later.

Soon Du Shaoqing took his daughter away. On the way, Xiao Xuanxuan asked for help and said, "How is it, Daddy, is Xuanxuan very powerful? I helped you find Grandma Shang Gong as your helper."

Du Shaoqing rubbed his daughter's little head and praised, "My baby daughter has always been very powerful. Tell me, how about I reward you if I want my dad? How about taking you to have delicious snacks?"

"Well... no, I have eaten all the snacks in Chang'an. If I want to eat them, I can buy them myself.

If my father wants a reward, why don’t I copy the “Compendium of Materia Medica”? It’s too long.” Xiao Xuanxuan begged.

Du Shaoqing laughed silently and asked curiously: "How many words can you write down now?"

"Xuanxuan has never counted the words, but the Taoist Grandpa said that it is less than half of them.

But people can clearly recognize the words in it and write them all. Every time I copy the book, I find that many words are repeated. It’s so boring, and my wrists are sore." Xiao Xuanxuan complained with a pout.

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you. I'm going to let you learn Compendium of Materia Medica to learn to read and write. Since you have learned it, don't copy it for now.

But you must memorize it. We are the ancestral medical skills. Sooner or later, you will learn to treat diseases. When you grow up, your father will teach you what it means." Du Shaoqing reminded.

"Well, Dad is the best. Finally, I don't have to copy books. Xuanxuan promised to study medicine with you when she grows up.

Hehe, I’m very quick to recite the book, but it won’t take long to recite it. I’ll be able to come out of the clinic soon.” Xiao Xuanxuan said happily.

Du Shaoqing asked more: "Oh? Do you don't like the clinic? What do you want to do when you come out of the clinic?"

"First go to Chang'an City to take Xiao Miaomiao for a walk, find the original friend, and see if it is broken..." Xiao Xuanxuan hurriedly covered her mouth, accidentally said it was leaked, and glanced at her father in fear.

"Hehe, Dad, you didn't hear anything? I just said to go and play games with my friends, but I didn't want to fight with bad guys..."

This...isn't this the place without silver?

Du Shaoqing reached out to hold his forehead, and it was over, he miscalculated. Has the attributes of his daughter, the little devil, been removed yet?

No, you have to think of a solution, this way is not enough to let go of stocking.

"Little Guai Guai, can Dad discuss something with you?" Du Shaoqing said with a narrowed eyes.

"Ah? Don't take away Xiao Meow Meow Dad..."

"Where are you going to follow? If you don't accept your little meow, Daddy thinks, how boring you are alone in Chang'an? How about finding a group of friends of the same age for you to join?" Du Shaoqing induced.

Xiao Xuanxuan said in confusion: "Are you bored? No, I have Xiao Meow Meow, and every time I buy snacks, I spend half of each person.

I still have Cheng Ruyu, Li Xiaohua...a group of good friends."

Du Shaoqing hurriedly interrupted: "In a word, Dad wants you to go to the Hongwenguan in the palace and go to school with the children there, do you want to go?"

Xiao Xuanxuan asked weakly: "Dad, can she not go?"

Seeing his daughter crying, Du Shaoqing found it funny. This girl was so sensible. She knew she couldn't force herself to confront her, and she even acted like a trick.

After thinking for a while, Du Shaoqing said lightly: "No? It's okay, I heard that Cheng Ruyu is here too. If you don't go, you are afraid that you can't compare to others when you study there.

Forget it, it’s better if you can’t compare…”

"Wait, Dad, do you think Cheng Ruyu is there too? No, I haven't heard of her going to school, I only know that she is practicing martial arts at home." Xiao Xuanxuan was skeptical.

"It's the recent thing. You don't know when you go to school in the clinic." Du Shaoqing said in panic and didn't blink.

"Then, why don't I go too. I'm her sister Xuanxuan. Everyone knows that I'm better than her."

Well, the little fox has never fought against the old fox. Du Shaoqing was overjoyed. The Hongwen Pavilion in the palace was full of powerful children. When his daughter came in, she might even be able to get rid of her temperament.

However, this matter is still a little bit uneven now, that is, Cheng Ruyu has not yet entered school, so don’t wait for her daughter to see her friend is not here. If she regrets her, it will be unbeautiful.

"Since that's the case, let's go home and ask your mother to prepare for you about learning in the next few days. In a few days, you can live with your grandmother for a while, so it's convenient to study nearby."

Du Shaoqing sent his daughter back home, told his wife, and then went straight out toward Cheng Yaojin's house.

When it was not on duty, Cheng Yaojin usually had a jar of wine every day, which had become a habit, and the Tang Dynasty's Sanle Juice was not intoxicating at all.

But later, when there was strong wine, the amount of this thing was too high. Demon Cheng still drank in big gulps according to his habit. So he often heard that Cheng Zhijie, Duke of Lu, was drunk and could not attend court at home, which almost became a joke in Chang'an. For this reason, Mrs. Cheng asked Du Shaoqing to ask for a recipe for quenching wine.

But after several times, Demon Cheng knew that his appearance was not good, and gradually changed his habit. When he was not on duty, he would have a small jar of liquor for a pound, and a jar of limited quantities per day. Although he was drunk, he would not fall into drunkenness and would not delay the next day of duty or courtship.

It was a good day. When Du Shaoqing came, Demon Cheng had just opened the wine jar and drank it, but he was not drunk yet.

Looking at the two jars on the table, Du Shaoqing joked: "Don't Uncle Cheng always say that he should quit drinking? Why is the alcohol consumption getting bigger and bigger? I heard from my aunt that you used to be one pound, but why did you change two pounds today?"

Old Cheng laughed and said, "Isn't this going to go to Gaochang with Niujizi right away?"

Du Shaoqing said in confusion: "Well... it's wrong. Don't you quit drinking even more when you go to war? Drinking is prohibited in the army to avoid misleading things, right? If you drink again, what should you do if someone leads his troops away and doesn't wait for you?"

Cheng Motou had a meal at the wine jar, "He dares? The old bull's nose dares not wait for me? My brothers have been in vain for many years?

But then again, I am a general of the Tang Dynasty. How could I miss the military opportunity for many years? Gaochang made a lot of contribution this time, so I must earn a share of it.

It is precisely because I am about to go to the battlefield that I am satisfied with it in advance. I have enough drinks at one time and I will have to drink at least half a year after I leave."

Looking at Cheng Yaojin's style, why does Du Shaoqing feel so familiar?

I recalled, isn’t this what Zhang Fei did in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? Zhang Fei seemed to say that before throwing Xuzhou.

Du Shaoqing said intimidly that fortunately this uncle was just a general of the army rather than a commander, otherwise it would be hard to say whether something happened or not.

Cheng Yaojin took another sip at the table and said mysteriously: "Hehe, you don't know, uncle has already calculated it. I'll have a good time today. I'll have drunk for three days. I wake up in three days and set off directly. It's amazing..."
