Chapter 213 The weather is cold...
By the time I coaxed my wife to sleep, it was already dawn.
Fang Yuanqi's daily schedule is now packed, so naturally he has no time to stay in bed.
After getting up and having a simple breakfast, I prepared to go to the courtyard where the cotton clothes were made.
Speaking of that courtyard, it was originally right next to the princess's mansion. Later, in order to facilitate entry and exit, Fang Yuanqi simply had someone open a door on the wall of the princess's mansion near the courtyard.
When you walk through this door, you can see people coming and going, busy as ever.
She has turned this place into a factory-like place.
Most of the embroiderers and tailors who come here to work are transferred from the Embroidery Bureau to motivate everyone to work more actively.
After Fang Yuanqi borrowed the people, he proposed a different salary system from the monthly salary system - piecework system.
The more you work, the more you get, the less you work, the less you get, and if you don't work, you get nothing.
As soon as this method of settling wages came out, it was welcomed by many hard-working people.
As for those who had previously relied on connections to get in and only wanted to fish in troubled waters, although they were dissatisfied with this settlement method, they could not change the minds of those in power and could only obey helplessly.
It's just that they are used to cheating and playing tricks, not only are their work efficiency low, but the finished products are also mostly unsatisfactory.
Fang Yuanqi naturally has no tolerance for such pests. Once he finds them, he will fire them.
Those who were driven away originally thought that they were no longer wanted here and that they could go back to the Embroidered Clothing Bureau to continue their lives. However, what they didn't expect was that when the people in the Embroidered Clothing Bureau heard that they were driven back by the prince consort, they didn't want them at all.
Fang Yuanqi didn't expect that he was just borrowing people to do some work and could also help the Embroidery Bureau to carry out a large-scale layoff.
Fortunately, the remaining people are all dexterous, down-to-earth and hardworking, so they can naturally get twice the result with half the effort.
With her appearance in the courtyard, there was a chorus of greetings. Fang Yuanqi just waved her hand casually, indicating that everyone should not be polite and just go about their business.
Everyone was a little reserved at the beginning, but now after a long time, everyone knows that the prince consort really doesn't care about these empty formalities.
So after a simple greeting, everyone went back to their work.
They have become accustomed to the prince consort coming here from time to time.
However, in addition to supervising the work, Fang Yuanqi came here today for another reason, which was that she found two pieces of high-quality floating brocade in the warehouse of the princess's mansion some time ago.
The fabric is as light as a fog valley and as thin as a cicada's wing. It can also reflect different colors as the light changes. The most important thing is that this floating light brocade is actually waterproof and will not get wet even in a rainstorm.
She immediately planned to use this floating brocade to cut a few comfortable and beautiful jackets.
I thought I would wait a few days and when the weather gets cooler, I could wear it.
The two pieces of floating brocade were delivered here the day before yesterday. Judging by the time, they should be almost done now.
So when she arrived today, she went to look for the embroiderer who made the padded jacket with a clear purpose.
Speaking of which, the embroiderer was also an acquaintance, Su Qiaoer, who was rescued by Mu Lingshuang on the battlefield and placed in the embroidery workshop.
When they got married, the two phoenix crowns and bridal robes were made by each other.
It must be said that her embroidery skills were truly amazing, and the wedding dress was embroidered by her with incredible beauty.
So this time Fang Yuanqi directly handed Fu Guangjin to her.
"How is it done?" Fang Yuanqi asked impatiently as soon as he entered the door.
Su Qiaoer, who was sewing, heard her voice and quickly put down her work. She picked up a few exquisitely crafted padded jackets from the side and handed them over respectfully.
"It's done. I made four pieces according to the dimensions you gave me. Take a look."
Fang Yuanqi took it, unfolded it one by one, and looked at it carefully.
It is indeed very good. Even the pattern embroidered on it is exactly as she requested.
One with a seven-colored phoenix is for my mother.
A big pork elbow for herself.
It goes without saying that Su Qiaoer has very skillful hands. She made this big elbow so delicious that it looks and smells so good that it makes her hungry.
The remaining two items are for Mu Lingshuang.
One is a colorful blue phoenix with a very realistic pattern. If you look closely, you will find that there is an extremely thin thread under the feet of the blue phoenix. At the end of the thread is a bright yellow ring, which is very conspicuous.
Fang Yuanqi had these rings made as a pair after Mu Lingshuang left Beijing.
She wore one ring on her hand, and she wanted to wait for the bastard to come back so that he could put the other ring on her himself.
So the ring on the dress is just a pattern, but because of Su Qiaoer's superb embroidery skills, it looks very real.
The other is a flowering green bamboo.
Bamboo generally does not bloom, and she didn't know why she suddenly wanted someone to embroider such a pattern.
Looking at the embroidered jacket at this moment, she suddenly realized the reason. Maybe she wanted this pattern to bring good luck to Mu Lingshuang!
The battlefield is dangerous and unpredictable, but no matter what, she hopes that her wife will be blessed by the god of fate and come back safely.
