Chapter 195
"Mrs. (Miss). Is it warm?"
The two close maids were very interested in new things, and looked at them with their hands, reaching out to touch the soft down jacket.
"Don't worry, I just put it on."
Susan treats them as sisters, of course she won't be surprised.
However, before she could speak, her face turned red, of course, unlike the shame just now, sweat on her forehead kept coming out, "It's so hot!"
The house family is not short of this little carbon money, and the house is burning warm, just wearing a single dress is enough, so it is naturally hot in her down jacket.
"How about getting out first, be careful to catch a cold after a while." Fang Yiai advised softly.
"Let's go out for a walk, my husband, it's very warm to wear down jackets." Susan shook her head, very rare about this down jacket and was unwilling to take it off.
"Okay! There are a few more clothes to make for the remaining duck down."
Fang Yiai wore a sable fur and came out with Susan. It was really comfortable outside, not as hot as inside, so he wouldn’t feel cold. He was just as warm as he was.
Qiaoer and Xiaohuan did not follow him, and the two of them were in a hurry to make down jackets.
The young master must have made it for his relatives at home, but the amount of duck down can be made more than a few pieces. If it is redundant, there will definitely be two of them.
The two girls are working hard to put on the down jacket as soon as possible.
...
Time and time.
All the ministers in the court arrived at the Political Affairs Hall one after another and devoted themselves to political affairs for a day.
When colleagues meet, they can’t help but say hello.
It was just a daily greeting, but Fang Xuanling's arrival attracted a lot of attention. Today he was dressed in a special way.
Wei Zheng advised with kind words: "Xuanling, your clothes are different today. Are you not cold without wearing fur clothes? You and I are both older people, so you should pay more attention to your health."
"Haha, thank you Xuancheng for your concern!"
Fang Xuanling smiled and said politely, taking off his down jacket. Li Er cared about the prime ministers and burned warmly in the political affairs hall, saying, "This dress is not inferior to the colored fur clothes, and it is very light when worn, so it seems like I have never worn clothes."
"really!"
The prime ministers were interested and came over curiously. This was not just a simple joke, but also a kind of cold-proof thing to benefit the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Wei Zheng took the down jacket from Fang Xuanling, and his face changed when he started. When he touched the clothes, he could no longer calm down because Fang Xuanling had just taken it off, but the inside was still hot.
"What is this garment?" he asked excitedly, very sure he had never seen it before.
"My Erlang made a fuss and called it: a down jacket, which is made of duck down." Although Fang Xuanling's tone was a bit bad, his eyes were filled with relief.
He knew what everyone was concerned about and could not speak, and then said, "Duck down is mostly useless, just use ordinary fabrics on the outside, and the price is good. But... this duck down is really not easy to find."
"Duck down clothes are indeed a good way." Wei Zheng said, but when he heard Fang Xuanling's words, he shook his head helplessly: "Oh! What a pity..."
"This method is not unusual. There was a saying in the Zhou Dynasty that there were pet clothes. However, it was as comfortable as Fang Erlang did. It was the first time I saw it. It would be more comfortable to wear than fur clothes." Wang Gui said while touching the gentle down jacket.
Li Jing, who had always rarely interrupted, had sadness in his eyes, "If there were such a cheap cold-proof thing back then, my Tang Dynasty soldiers would have killed many people less."
The Political Affairs Hall was silent.
Everyone naturally knew that Li Jing was referring to the battle to destroy the Eastern Turks. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty braved the cold and chased Jie Li Khan on the grassland. Many soldiers were frozen to death, and even Li Jing suffered from foot disease.
However, the atmosphere was quickly diluted, and someone suddenly asked: "How many down jackets are there in Fangxiang? Can you sell one for me?"
"I'm going to have one too..."
At this moment, everyone immediately rushed to buy it. In the end, Fang Xuanling said that it was out of stock and was willing to give up. Some people still didn't give up. "If Xuanling had new clothes, don't forget me."
...
The down jacket was sent home and received unanimous praise from his family, and immediately replaced the fur clothes.
As the Fang family wore it, the news of the down jacket spread wildly. It even spread so magical that even the saying of the fairy clothes came out.
Fang Yiai gained another wave of popularity, and Fangjiazhuang has been lively for several days, and most of them came to buy down jackets.
They were destined to return in a miserable state.
After countless people failed, things slowly stopped. Fang Yiai thought it would be over, and obviously misjudged some people.
It is December.
As the end of the year approached, all the states sent envoys to the capital to gather.
Fang Yiai sent someone to pay attention to the news about this, and he had been worried about several things in his heart.
On this day, he got up early in the morning and went to the court meeting with Fang Xuanling. This was his first time to attend the court, because he received news that the Lizhou Governor Warrior General, Warriors, returned to Beijing not long ago and will come to the court to meet His Majesty today.
Outside the imperial city.
Fang Yiai didn't approach the general and stood among the civil servants and looked around. However, he had never seen the warrior's head and had no idea what he looked like.
He was just about to ask someone, and it would be better to talk to the Warrior, but he couldn't escape the process of beating the golden claws.
"Boy Fang, what are you doing among civil servants?"
Cheng Yaojin's eyes were so sharp that he saw Fang Yiai as soon as he arrived and asked, but before he could answer, Lao Cheng lifted him over.
"Is that what... down jacket?"
As soon as Fang Yiai's feet fell to the ground, Cheng Yaojin stared at his clothes, reached out his big hand like a palm fan, and rubbed and squeezed it, while saying, "It's quite soft."
"I have had such a solution for a long time. I will collect all the duck downs across the country, which is not enough for the winter clothes of the three thousand soldiers!" Zhang Gongjin said with a sad look on his face.
Then, the generals sighed and said that all the veterans galloped on the battlefield, and they could empathize with them...
After a moment.
Cheng Yaojin broke the silence, patted Fang Yiai's shoulder and said, "You kid is so heartless, I don't know how to give me one."
"Please forgive me, Uncle Cheng, there are really not many duck downs. I haven't made a few pieces in total, and I only have one on my body." Fang Yiai defended aggrievedly, "If you can get the duck downs, I will make one for you."
"I can't hurry!"
Cheng Yaojin waved his hand, Fang Yiai thought it was just over, but he felt strange in his heart, when did Old Cheng be so easy to talk to?
Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Cheng Yaojin made this request shamelessly, "You take it off first and let me put it on."
"Ah! That's not good..."
"What! Do you dislike me?"
"How could it be! It's just this cold weather..."
"It's okay, I'll wear my fur clothes for you, and it won't freeze you." Before Fang Yiai finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin interrupted and began to take off his fur clothes.
When Fang Yiai met an old hooligan like Cheng Yaojin, he was speechless...
