"Miss Chu, this is the silk reeling room."
The housekeeper led Chu Yu into a courtyard, and then opened the door.
A wave of heat came to my face in an instant.
Chu Yu couldn't help but shake his body, took two steps back, and then saw that the courtyard covering an extremely wide area was full of cauldrons, boiling water in the cauldrons, neatly floating, and the cauldron was surrounded by shelves, and there were two or three silk reelers standing on each shelf, sweating like rain, each responsible for stirring the cocoons and silk in the pot, and winding raw silk in the silk reeling frame.
This is where the so-called idiom of peeling off the cocoon comes from.
Silk reeling and degumming are the most laborious parts of the whole raw silk production, and workers must endure the discomfort of high heat and the danger of burns.
Chu Yu looked up at the steaming cauldrons, and knew why Mama Lu or why Nan Zhijing sent her here.
In such a place, if one accidentally falls off the pot, or touches it carelessly, it will either kill or be injured.
Others can't say anything.
This county lord is indeed thoughtful, and it is no wonder that he was able to subdue so many people up and down the south wind weaving.
Chu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a trace of desolate light flashed in his big eyes.
"Miss Chu, you have to be careful when you're here, if there's anything you don't understand, just ask me."
The steward smiled, but there was something strange in that smile.
Chu Yu raised his eyebrows lightly and looked at the row of rooms in the courtyard: "What kind of place is that?"
"Oh, there, there is also a silk reeling room, but the silk reeling in it is golden silk, the number of golden silk is very small, only produced in a mulberry forest somewhere in Taihu Lake, the silk is natural green and purple, but the silk reeling process can not directly see the daylight, otherwise the silk will become very easy to break."
The steward smiled.
Chu Yu asked with a smile with interest: "I want to go and see, can I?"
A scornful and sneering light flashed in the housekeeper's eyes: "Of course you can." ” Then she turned around and led Chu Yu towards the row of rooms, while secretly sneering.
It is rumored that this girl doesn't know anything about embroidery, but now it seems that this is the case, as a dignified embroidery merchant and business president, he doesn't even know the most basic raw silk production process, and how can this person be comparable to his own county lord When Chu Yu entered the room, she turned around and looked around, and found that there was really no difference between this place and the outside, but the pot was much smaller, and there were many silk reelers outside, but all of them were women, and the smell in the room was unusually pungent, so although the female workers had cloth towels around their faces, they looked very tired, and everyone's eyes were bloody.
As he spoke, he saw a female worker suddenly shake her body, and she directly hit the large urn of silk reeling, and her whole arm fell into the boiling water.
"Ahh The woman was so weak that she could not even scream, but cowered on the ground and trembled.
As soon as Chu Yu saw it, he immediately strode forward to save people, but was immediately stopped by the female steward.
"Miss Chu doesn't need to be in a hurry, this is a common thing, just drag it out."
The steward said indifferently.
Sure enough, soon two tall overseers immediately stepped forward and dragged the woman down without pity, and scolded while dragging it back: "Slut, why are you so careless, you ruined this pot of golden silk, and you can't afford to sell your whole family to the kiln."
Chu Yu's face turned cold in an instant, remembering that the male workers outside didn't look like the living conditions of the female workers were any better than them, she couldn't help frowning, such a working environment is really But before she could think about it, there was a sudden commotion outside the door, and a crisp and long voice sounded.
"Prince Lian has arrived" Chu Yu was walking slowly around the room, and after a pause, he walked out of the door.
Out of the yard, she really saw a calm and tall male figure and a slender and elegant woman figure not far away, the posture of dancing with the wind with three swings of light yarn, although there is a weak willow supporting the wind, but it is clear but it always makes people sweat for her, worried that as soon as the wind blows, the woman will be blown away.
"Little girl, you are really here, the pianist is in a hurry, why don't you say a word and run to the south wind to weave."
Prince Lian liked Chu Yu's quirky appearance as soon as he saw it, and greeted Chu Yu with a smile from afar.
Prince Lian's kindness to Chu Yu, Nan Zhijing's figure was stunned, a chill flashed in her slender eyebrows, she coughed lightly, and said softly: "Although Uncle is amiable, but don't be too kind, so as not to mess up the dignity and humility, the more you give her face, the more she can't recognize her identity, and the more she is arrogant." ” Prince Lian glanced at her lightly, and waved his hand nonchalantly: "Where do you come from, where do you come from so much, so why this king doesn't like to go back to the capital is like this." ” Nan Zhijing wanted to say something, but seeing that there was already an impatient light flashing in Prince Lian's eyes, she immediately shut up with interest, and only said softly: "Uncle is such a bold and uninhibited person, so it makes my aunt and grandmother worry even more." ” When Prince Lian heard his mother, a trace of guilt flashed in his expression: "Your aunt and grandmother are too negligent in this king, but this time this king chose the gift that can make her old man happy, speaking of which, I would like to thank Chu Yu's little girl for her ingenuity." ” Prince Lian touched his beard and laughed at the end, and looked at Chu Yu more kindly.
At this time, they had already walked in front of Chu Yu, Chu Yu made a gesture to Prince Lian, and said with a smile: "Your Highness praises falsely." ” Prince Lian couldn't help but shake his head and said angrily: "You little girl, although you are good at workmanship, but you can't help but say hello to the lady Jin, and you ran to the south wind weaving, this king Ying Jing Niang Zhiyao saw the Jin lady when she went out, and thought something was wrong, or Jing Niang told the king to know that you girl actually volunteered to run to the south wind to weave." ” Nan Zhijing looked coldly at Prince Lian and Chu Yu talking happily, and the disgust in her eyes could hardly be hidden.
Why is it, Chu Yu, a fly camp dog who relies on strange skills and tricks to get to the top, has not defiled the third master of Qin enough, but also taken away his uncle's attention, really It's not a pity to die Chu Yu noticed Nan Zhijing's knife-like gaze, and she looked at Nan Zhijing without fear at all: "Oh, it turns out that this is the reason why the county lord of Jinyun told you why I appeared here?"
Nan Zhijing looked at her coldly: "What, isn't it?"
Chu Yu looked at the undisguised threat in her eyes, and chuckled in her heart, was this county lord threatening her not to tell the truth Prince Lian looked at Nan Zhijing and Chu Yu when their eyes met, his expression was strange, and he couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong?"
She smiled, looked at Prince Lian and said, "This is my negligence, but since I have already come this time, I naturally have to finish the matter." ” Nan Zhijing only thought that Chu Yu was afraid of his might, so he said coldly: "Your Highness knows that you have some ability, you don't want to disappoint Your Highness and the county lord, if the final acceptance results are not qualified, your position as the president of the Jiangnan Weaving Business Association will be resigned." ” Prince Lian was stunned: "Jingniang, why are you so harsh" Nan Zhijing looked at Prince Lian and her expression became weak again, she coughed lightly a few times, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "It's not that Jing Niang is harsh, but because the snow melt has broken many roads this year, and the delivery of raw silk materials is delayed, Jing Niang is already trying to find a way to urge the people below to send raw silk materials to Jiangnan as soon as possible, Jing Niang is worried that if we Nanfeng can't hand over the silk materials on time, it will affect the supply to the imperial court this year." ” When Prince Lian heard this, he also frowned slightly: "Is it already serious to this extent, how are the officials from all over the country, the silk material cannot be shipped to the place of origin, at this time it is the time when the green and yellow are not connected, what should the people's livelihood be, does it have to be starved to death, no, I will write a letter to the imperial brother in this matter" Chu Yu looked at Prince Lian, his eyes were soft, and his heart was also kind, although there were people like Nan Zhijing who regarded commoners as mustard among the royal nobles, but there were also people like Prince Lian who cared about the people's livelihood, so Dayuan can now maintain prosperity and strength.
Nan Zhijing didn't care if she would starve to death at all, what did those have to do with her as a Nine Heavens Phoenix She only cared if Prince Lian believed what she said, and it was obvious that Prince Lian had no doubts.
Hearing that she was going to Prince Lian to go to the book, she was slightly startled, but soon she relaxed again, it was true that the heavy snow had broken the road, but few people knew that there was a water route closer than the land route, so she was not worried about being demolished.
The corners of her lips curled into a cold smile and looked at Chu Yu: "This Miss Chu Yu volunteered to say that she can help us Nanfeng improve the speed of silk fabrics, and Jing Niang will also promise to extract the materials for other manufacturing workshops to ensure the supply of silk materials woven in Jiangnan, if she can't do it, she will automatically let Xian, isn't it?"
When Prince Lian heard this, he looked at Chu Yu's gaze slightly: "Oh, Chu girl will do this kind of thing, this is not like your style, is your decision a little hasty?"
Chu Yu looked at Prince Lian's appearance, and saw that he didn't immediately believe Nan Zhijing's words, but believed in her character, waiting for her to explain, Chu Yu couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, smiled, but only said: "The county lord can do whatever he says." ” She didn't care about Nan Zhijing's reversal of black and white at all.
"Chu Yu, what do you mean by this" Nan Zhijing's thin hand hidden in her sleeve almost couldn't help but crush the veil, and an injury flashed in her eyes and looked at Prince Lian: "Uncle, don't you believe Jing Niang."
Nan Zhijing's appearance is not half fake, Prince Lian's trust in Chu Yu does not believe her, which deeply stimulates Nan Zhijing.
Obviously, she is Prince Lian's relative, even if she lies, Prince Lian should believe her first, instead of believing a lowly commoner "Your Highness, the old slave testifies, this is what Chu Yu said to the county lord herself, and she said that if she can't do it, she will pay the price."
Where can Mama Green see that her heart and soul are uncomfortable, and immediately stepped forward to say angrily to Prince Lian.

Prince Lian glanced at Mama Green coldly, Mama Green immediately shrank her head and didn't dare to say more, and then Prince Lian turned his face to look at Nan Zhijing's appearance, and was also a little helpless: "You girl is really made of water, she will shed tears if she doesn't say anything wrong, Qin Sheng's temperament doesn't like such a temperament." ” Prince Lian's original intention was to hope that Nan Zhijing would not always be sad and sad, but these words stopped in Nan Zhijing's ears and became abnormal words.
Qin Sanye doesn't like her beautiful temperament, she doesn't like her otherworldly character like him, what do you like I like Chu Yu's disgusting, incestuous goblin appearance Nan Zhijing was already a heart of pain and hatred at the moment, and she just hated to throw Chu Yu into the boiling vat immediately, watching her scream and skin separate, and a demagogic and delicate face all melted into the tragic appearance of bones and blood.
But she has to be patient, and today is not the best time to start Chu Yu naturally also felt the hatred from Nan Zhijing, and she raised her eyebrows For a person who has only met a few times, he can hate like this, is this county lord a broken brain "Okay, uncle, let's cough first and see Miss Chu's ability first."
Nan Zhijing didn't want to see Chu Yu's face again, she turned around and helped Mama Lu and the others to hurry towards the courtyard of the silk reeling.
It's just that as soon as she was excited, she was a little out of breath.
Chu Yu's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly took a step forward, helped Nan Zhijing and said with a smile: "County Lord, you have to be careful, don't be too uncomfortable." ” "You, you."
Nan Zhijing didn't expect Chu Yu to dare to come up and touch her noble skin, and suddenly her thin and pale face instantly turned even whiter.
Chu Yu raised his eyebrows and said softly: "County Lord Niangniang, I like you who can't get used to me and hate me to the bone, but you still have to play a polite role in front of the prince and don't dare to turn your face with me." ” As soon as Chu Yu's voice fell, where could Nan Zhijing still be patient, her anger exploded instantly, and as soon as she raised her hand, she slapped Chu Yu's face fiercely: "You dirty slut, take away your dirty hands" It's just that her hand didn't fall, and she was held by a big hand.
Nan Zhijing turned her face and found that it was the guard next to Prince Lian who was holding her wrist and preventing her from beating people.
The guard then immediately let go of his hand and respectfully retreated to Prince Lian's side.
"Uncle, you actually help outsiders" Nan Zhijing couldn't help but tears rolled out of her eyes again.
Prince Lian's face sank, and he said lightly: "Jing Niang, don't make any more trouble." ” The prince's voice was not high, but the impatience and chill in it made Nan Zhijing bite her lower lip, she didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, she only lowered her eyes, and once again projected all the resentment on Chu Yu's body in her heart.
Chu Yu smiled and waved his hand at Prince Lian: "Your Highness, the county lord doesn't like me, and I don't like the county lord either, but it's important to get down to business, the county lord still shouldn't force himself to enter the silk reeling courtyard with us, just let Mama Green or Yelu be the steward." ” Seeing Chu Yu's straightforward appearance, a helpless smile appeared on Prince Lian's originally cold face: "You little girl, you are too open-mouthed." ” But then, he looked at Nan Zhijing and said indifferently: "Jing Niang's body is weak, it's hot here, so don't go in." ” He didn't wait for Nan Zhijing to speak, so he ordered Yelu Nai to accompany him: "Since you are the chief steward, you will accompany you on behalf of the county lord of your family." ” After that, Prince Lian summoned Chu Yu and the others to enter the silk reeling compound together, Yelu Nai was helpless, only glanced at Nan Zhijing, and said in a low voice: "County Lord, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan." ” Subsequently, he also hurriedly chased Prince Lian into the compound together.
Only Mama Green was left to accompany Nan Zhijing, who was trembling with anger, her face was dead white, and she was almost unconscious.
"Filthy slut, filthy slut, it's not a pity to kill the people" Her eyes were cold, but she could only whisper back and forth between her lips.
This Chu Yu led Prince Lian into the silk reeling compound, and Yelu Nai was also conscientious, accompanying them to explain the entire silk reeling process.
Because the prince was here, only one group of workers inside were left to demonstrate the silk reeling process, and the rest were all cleared out of the courtyard.
Soon, they came to the row of houses that Chu Yu had seen before.
It was only when they entered the door for a while, when suddenly a wild wind came from nowhere, and in an instant, half of the lights hanging high in the sky were extinguished at once, and the whole room was instantly darkened a lot, and the road could not be seen clearly.
Yelu Nai froze instantly, and said embarrassedly: "Your Highness, the slave should go and light the lamp first, and you can wait outside first."
Chu Yu looked at the tall lamp, as if he thought it was very interesting, and said with a smile: "I'll go to light the lamp with the manager, and by the way, see if there is any problem with the setting of your lamp, how it will be blown out by the wind, affecting the speed of the entire production." ” Prince Lian didn't doubt it, so he led everyone to retreat, and only before leaving, he told Yelu Nai to take care of Chu Yu and not to fall.
Chu Yu glanced at Yelu Nai and said with a smile: "Let's go." ” Yelu Nai looked at Chu Yu and sneered: "Miss Chu is so capable that she can coax His Royal Highness to value it so much." ” Chu Yu ignored him, and turned to the depths of the room with a smile on his face.
Prince Lian had been waiting outside for about a quarter of an hour, and was thinking about how the time had been so long, when he suddenly heard a girl's scream from inside: "Yeluna, you" Then I heard the sound of something falling into the water or tipping over.
Prince Lian was startled and immediately ordered the guards to open the door.
It's just that the guards opened the door, and they saw Yelu Nai rushing out with a confused face, soaking wet, and looking dazed: "It's not good, Miss Chu fell into the alkali pool, no, she's gone."
