"I can also teach you how to raise pigs, but you can't keep this secret and spread it."
The recipe you’ve been dreaming about is here!
Sure enough, following the tenth princess will bring you unparalleled blessings.
Wang Yuanbao agreed: "Princess, don't worry, I will handle this matter properly. A gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way. If he wants to seize money, he can't compete with the people for profit, otherwise how can he be alone."
"Okay, you have a good idea!"
Li Sixu remembered something. Today, the cold palace killed a lot of chickens to make pork belly and chicken soup. Some palace maids collected chicken and duck feathers and said they should clean them and stuff them into the layers of clothes to make them light and cold-proof.
It's just that these clothes stuffed with chicken and duck feathers cannot be washed, and they will no longer keep warm once washed.
Li Sixu then thought that cotton had not been popularized in the Tang Dynasty.
She remembered that although there was an influx of African cotton during the Han Dynasty, it should have been in the current Tufan area.
Then there was an influx of Asian cotton people from time to time, in the Ailao area of Yunnan. In fact, it was still an uncivilized area, and there were very few merchants traveling there.
"Speaking of collecting novelty things, Sisi wants adults to help collect some seeds."
Li Sixu told him: "Other adults can watch and collect, but there is one thing that adults have to put some effort into helping Sisi find. It is a kind of vegetation with flowers like clouds in the sky, which are used to stuff clothes. It can keep you warm, and it can also weave cloth.”
Is there really such a magical vegetation in the world?
Wang Yuanbao seemed to have seen a way to make money.
He asked excitedly: "Where can I find such vegetation seeds?"
"This kind of vegetation should be found in the imperial area of southwestern Yunnan, and may also be found in Tufan. The Liuli market opened by your Excellency in the capital is to contact merchants traveling from south to north. Through the caravans traveling between these two places, there is hope that turn up."
If there really is a kind of flower that blooms like clouds in the sky, can be stuffed into clothes to keep out the cold and keep warm, and can be woven into cloth, then after getting this flower, it will not only bring great wealth to the Wang family, but also It is beneficial to the people's livelihood and the country of the Tang Dynasty.
Sure enough, following the tenth princess was the most correct decision he had ever made in his life. This matter was done, and he was afraid that his title would be more than just a male county.
Wang Yuanbao responded excitedly: "Okay, I will do my best to find the seeds of this plant for the princess."
The two chatted for a while about the bookstore and Huo Huanbu's business. Seeing that it was getting late and the palace banquet was almost done, Wang Yuanbao suddenly stopped before leaving.
"I encountered something strange recently. I don't know if I should report it to the princess."
Her mother agreed that when the dishes for the palace banquet were almost ready, she would meet with the prince's brother in private to untie their knots.
Li Sixu was keeping this matter in her mind, wondering whether Wang Yuanbao wanted to tell him or not. Li Sixu was so anxious that she almost kicked him: "Don't worry, mother-in-law, tell me quickly!"
"The princess also knows that businessmen cannot be unkind because of their wealth. I take my money from the people, so I will occasionally do some good deeds."
This Li Sixu knew that the reason why he was willing to go out with Wang Yuanbao in the first place was not only because the ambergris he gave his mother and concubine helped her mother and concubine to ward off poison, but also because she had heard of his reputation for doing good deeds.
It is said that every year when it snows heavily, he will ask his servants to sweep the snow in the alley, and bring out food and wine to ward off the cold for those who come and go.
"My business is getting bigger and bigger, and my house will entertain some poor students who come to Beijing to take exams and have nowhere to stay. Recently, a mother-in-law stayed in the house with a very handsome young man. The servants in the house heard that When they were chatting, they seemed to mention Concubine Shu in the palace and said that they were her relatives."
Wang Yuanbao was puzzled: "Since he is a relative of Concubine Shu, why did he come to live in the minister's house? He is related to His Highness the Crown Prince, and Concubine Shu's father and brother are officials in the capital. They did not join Concubine Shu's mother clan, but ran away. Come and stay at the minister’s residence?”
No wonder Wang Yuanbao likes not to mention it. This matter is not a big deal. It is possible that he is a distant relative of his prince brother and Concubine Shu.
But Li Sixu saw something fishy in it, and found out that Wu Chongyuan kept fighting with Concubine Shu, but didn't make any big moves.
She asked Wang Yuanbao: "How old is that young man?"
"The same age as His Highness the Crown Prince, no, he looks older."
When the prince was mentioned, Wang Yuanbao was surprised: "Could it be that he is really a relative of His Highness the Prince? Thinking about it carefully, after meeting His Highness the Prince today, I feel that he is somewhat similar to His Highness the Prince."
Wang Yuanbao said that the man was similar to his brother, the prince. Li Sixu suddenly looked horrified: "Wang Yuanbao, you have done me a great favor."
"No, you can't say that."
Li Sixu shook her head: "You saved my life. Someone wants to deal with Sisi, and they will take advantage of you, the person who is close to me."
Just doing charity and taking in a student who came to Beijing to take the exam, is his life in danger?
Wang Yuanbao said anxiously: "Princess, don't play riddles. Please explain to me quickly."
"Sisi is just inferring this matter and can't elaborate on it yet. In short, this should be a game."
Li Sixu gave him some advice: "When you return to the house, say that it is not convenient for the house to take them in. You can save your life by driving the woman and the young man out of the house."
Wang Yuanbao felt something was wrong, and a chill ran down his spine. He wanted to ask Li Sixu what the twists and turns were, but the princess couldn't explain clearly, so she didn't dare to say more.
A wealthy businessman like Wang Yuanbao has always been extremely keen and the most able to act upon the latest trends.
Having seen the magic of the ten princesses, Wang Yuanbao would not delay any more. He didn't even think about going back to the Nuanpeng palace banquet to try the pork dishes, and hurriedly said goodbye to Li Sixu and left the palace to return home.
Li Linhuai, who helped General Zuo Yulin arrange the defense of Leng Palace today, has been hiding in the dark.
Seeing that Wang Yuanbao left in a hurry after seeing the princess, he entered the greenhouse. Li Sixu looked at the medicinal materials grown in the greenhouse in a daze, and he stood aside without disturbing her.
After she was dazed for a while and turned around, Li Linhuai said warmly: "Princess has practiced the breathing method for so long, so be careful."
"Sisi has already smelled the scent of the adults. Knowing that the adults are here, she can think about things with peace of mind."
Li Sixu opened her clear and bright eyes and looked at him: "If it were another person, Sisi would have been alert a long time ago."
These words made Li Linhuai, who didn't like to smile very much, raise the corners of his lips.
"Wang Yuanbao left in a hurry. I saw that the princess looked solemn just now."
Li Linhuai asked with concern: "Princess, what happened?"
"Something did happen. Wu Chongyuan seemed to have a fatal handle on Concubine Shu. She plotted against Concubine Shu and wanted to hook up with Sisi's most powerful person outside the palace. If Wang Yuanbao hadn't been too talkative in front of Sisi, I have always followed Si Siyan’s advice, but I really can’t escape this disaster.”
"Your Excellency is here at the right time. Sisi wants you to help you explore the Hanbing Palace at night."
Li Linhuai didn't even need to ask clearly what Wang Yuanbao had revealed to her, he just responded dotingly: "Okay!"
