Chapter 566 Gold Cocoon
Old Madam Wang suddenly wanted to understand a lot of things. If Qin Huai was the child in the palace and he could spend so much money, it would make sense. Today, the mother family of Emperor Minghua belongs to the Jiangnan family, a famous family for hundreds of years, and the family property is particularly profound.
Their wealth, I am afraid that the entire treasury is now more than quadrupled.
Ming Huadi's money in his private treasury today is probably mostly from the Qin family in the south of the Yangtze River.
At first, Emperor Minghua was the crown prince and was imprisoned in the East Palace.
The late emperor was afraid of the Qin family in the south of the Yangtze River, so he did not dare to order the execution of the imprisoned prince.
Throughout the ages, the fate of the abolished prince has not been very good, but Emperor Minghua is the lucky one, but thanks to his grandfather family who is willing to protect him and can protect him.
Fortunately, the Qin family in the south of the Yangtze River has no intention of fighting for power, and even when Emperor Minghua reinvigorated the dynasty, he led the famous merchants in the south of the Yangtze River to recruit the imperial court, so that the Dachang court, which was waiting to be revived, could continue to play its role.
After , Mrs. Wang didn't ask about it deliberately. She was already tired of it, but her experience as a girl made it so that every time she heard similar news, she would always weigh it in her heart and know a little bit.
More than 30 years later, those merchants in the south of the Yangtze River were not completely suppressed by the Qin family. Now, many of them are acting more and more arrogant and domineering, relying on the achievements of Conglong.
Especially in the two years before Ayu arrived in Hujia Village, Mrs. Wang heard many times that those who came back from Jiangnan talked about the pluralism in Jiangnan, but they did not have the heart to help other regions, and even donated food for disaster relief. without them.
On the contrary, every time a disaster occurs, the imperial court will be asked to exempt tax, which has long been a harm to one side.
However, the loyalty of the Jiangnan Qin family to the Dachang royal family seems to be stable so far. As for whether it is really stable, only the royal family knows.
At least, Qin Huai has spent money like water all these years, and he has never seen him run out of money. It can be seen that financial support still exists.
"Could it be, that child is—" Mrs. Wang pointed to the top of her head.
Master Duanfang smiled slightly, and did not answer yes or no, but two smart people naturally don't have to say it so clearly.
"In this case, the group of people with the same fate Gu can be narrowed down." Mrs. Wang didn't have time to think about whether Qin Huai was the rumored prince who died early, or some other member of the royal family. She just wanted to solve this problem quickly. "It's either a noble person or a noble person's enemy. Now it seems that the possibility of an enemy is low."
Master Duanfang took out a parchment scroll from his arms, opened it, a token was wrapped in the parchment scroll, and the parchment scroll itself was a map.
"For many years, I have kept this thing, and poor monks dare not pass away." Master Duanfang sighed, "Master, it's time to go home and have a look, maybe the answers you're looking for are all there."
Mrs. Wang took it over: "Let's talk about it."
She came here just to save her grandson-in-law. It was his good fortune that she could be cured, and it didn't matter if she could not.
It happened that she didn't want Ayu to marry the prince. If Qin Huai died, it would be easy.
As for those who want to see the door or not, she Zhang Yaoguang said no, whoever dares to say yes, she will tear anyone's mouth!
Master Duanfang said: "Actually, someone from the imperial city was sent to ask for news about the poor monk's same fate."
Mrs. Wang: "Thank you for letting me know."
With this clue, it is basically certain that Mrs. Qin is a certain imperial concubine, or even an empress.
Mrs. Wang did not officially meet Mrs. Qin at that time. If she did, she would know by her demeanor that the other party must be the queen.
No matter how disguised it is, it can be easily dismantled.
Here, when Ayu arrived at the silkworm residence, she found that there were more silkworms here than she had imagined, and the cocooning tools woven by the monks were neat and beautiful. The silkworm cocoons were hung on it, which was more like a delicate decoration.
The little monk who accompanied her explained to her: "The frame weaved in this way will make silkworms better cocoon, and it will be easier to handle. Little donor, look, this one is forming a cocoon here."
Ayu looked at it and said to the dumpling: "Elf, I want to draw this picture and send it to the village, so that Brother Sanpang and the others can try it too."
【Draw it, let me help you see what is wrong. 】
Ayu asked the little monk again: "This little master, can I draw this thing? Our village has also raised silkworms, and I want them to use it as well."
The little monk smiled at her very gently, took out a small shelf of clean cocoons from the wooden box next to it, and handed it to Ayu: "Take this."
"How much is this?"
"I made it myself, it's not worth much, you can take it. But you want me to teach you how to make it up?" the little monk asked.
Ayu picked up the thing, looked up and down, and frowned: "No need, I know how to do it!"
The weaving of the shelf itself is not difficult, but the style is tricky.
Ayu has learned to weave things from Lao Wangtou, but he can't do complicated things, but it's not bad at this level.
She got a shelf, so she was going to paint, because the cocooned shelf looks beautiful and may be suitable for painting.
There are some brushes, inks, paper and inkstones in the temple. The little monk found them for Ayu, and Ayu painted at his desk.
She draws very attentively, and Danzi also plays the voice from the starry sky for her in the space to make it easier for her to enter the state.
After she finished drawing, she felt a little sore in her neck, and a pair of warm hands just came down and rubbed lightly.
is Mrs. Wang.
"Grandma! Are you finished talking?" Seeing that it was Mrs. Wang, Ayu put the pen aside and stood up to greet her.
Mrs. Wang stroked her hair, and then responded with a smile: "Well, we're done talking. Do you want to send the painting to the village? It seems that in the past few years, your painting skills have not fallen off, and you are more expressive. already."
"Hmmmm." Ayu was complimented, and wanted to wag her nonexistent tail with joy.
Seeing that she stopped painting, Mrs. Wang simply looked at it in Canjuli.
Ayu acted as a commentator this time, explaining the arrogance to Mrs. Wang. As she spoke, Ayu said "Huh".
"Nah, look, that silkworm cocoon is golden." Ayu pointed to a shelf inside.
Mrs. Wang's expression changed: "Where is it!"
"It's there, very beautiful golden color, I've never seen this color before, it's so beautiful." Ayu has seen red, yellow, green and purple silkworm cocoons before, but this is the first time he has seen gold.
When the little monk heard this, he hurriedly looked at it. Sure enough, he saw that one of the silkworm cocoons had turned golden, and the cocoon looked relatively small.
"Oops, it's the abbot's uncle's golden rain worm that has formed a cocoon!" The little monk became anxious, "We've been looking for it for a few days, but we never thought of sneaking in here."
Ayu suddenly said: "Is it the golden rain bug that can predict the weather and good or bad luck? I heard that this bug is very squeamish and difficult to raise."
Not only that, once the cocoon is formed, if you don't find it, the golden cocoon will slowly melt in less than half a day, and the golden rain insect pupae inside will be suffocated to death.
"Golden Cocoon is still the antidote for the same life Gu." Old Madam Wang suddenly said.
It seems that Master Duanfang asked Ayu to come to the silkworm residence, not necessarily to coax the child.
Ayu almost jumped up: "Ama, is it true?!"
【Sorry, treasure, I didn't find any relevant information here. 】
