Dominate the ancient academy

Chapter 470 Monthly Income Increase

Because Shu Xiaoxiao was not in the academy, Fang Yuchu was not here, but in the courtyard of Dean Chu. The two of them had company. Now Shu Xiaoxiao's status was not suitable for her to return to her courtyard, so she went directly to Dean Chu's courtyard.

As early as when Shu Xiaoxiao said that cotton could be made into cotton clothes, Principal Chu had already prepared cloth and needles and thread. These were all available. Now, several people took out the seeds from the cotton, took the cotton, and prepared to try to make a piece of clothing to test the effect.

As soon as the cloth was taken out, Shu Xiaoxiao raised her hand and said, "Come on, I'll do it. I can cut it."

Before getting married, she learned needlework for a period of time. Although she was not very good at mending, she had no problem cutting.

Fold the cloth, draw rough marks, then pick up the scissors and skillfully cut out the approximate shape of a vest. Although it is not very standard, it is still no problem to make clothes. After cutting, spread the cloth flat on the table, and spread the cotton little by little on the cloth cut by Shu Xiaoxiao.

Then, Shu Xiaoxiao looked up at the grown men in the room, thought about it, and picked up the embroidery needle herself. After all, she had learned it and was definitely better than the grown men. As long as it was not embroidery, it was just clothes. She could just sew a few stitches, as long as she could try the effect.

So she acted with great confidence...and gave the injection.

Thinking that everyone was waiting to watch, Shu Xiaoxiao started to sew according to her own idea. After a few stitches, she had already sewed more than half a foot long. Her speed was quite fast, but Chu Shanzhang, Yun Qinghan and Huo Feng, who were watching nearby, saw Shu Xiaoxiao sewing with their eyes and mouths twitching.

Although they don’t know how to embroider, they have seen others embroidering, and even know what the needle and thread look like on the clothes they wear.

With such a wide gap, it is certain that air will not leak when you wear it, otherwise people will simply think that the clothes are torn.

The three of them even doubted whether Shu Xiaoxiao was really a girl. Aren't needlework something that girls are born with? Shu Xiaoxiao's needlework was really beyond their expectations.

I was originally looking forward to the warmth-keeping effect of the cotton-padded jacket, but because of Shu Xiaoxiao's unique needlework, I felt a little... well, a little silent.

Chu Shan opened his mouth long and patted Yun Qinghan's shoulder silently. Silence was better than words at this moment.

Yun Qinghan immediately remembered the pieces of cloth that Shu Xiaoxiao had sent him before. He thought it was a test for him, but now it seems that his junior brother must have suffered a blow when he was learning needlework. It seems that he really needs to learn it in the future.

Huo Feng's face was filled with surprise. He couldn't believe that there were girls in this world who didn't know how to use an embroidery needle. To be honest, he felt that his skills were a little better than their Crown Prince's Consort's.

You have to know that when he was at the border, supplies were in short supply, and sometimes there was no place to buy clothes, so when his clothes were torn, he sewed them himself. At that time, he even felt a little disgusted with the things he had mended. Now, compared with the Crown Prince's Consort, he suddenly feels that he is not bad?

"oops!"

A scream interrupted the three people's thoughts, but looking at Shu Xiaoxiao being pricked by a needle, the three of them felt speechless.

Even if it is sewn like this, you will get pricked by the needle. In fact, it is okay not to sew it, but it always feels not cost-effective. I will get hurt for such a thing. It's really not worth it.

Yun Qinghan anxiously checked Shu Xiaoxiao's needle holes and felt a little distressed.

"Huo Feng, where's the medicine for the wound?"

Huo Feng:..............

What the hell? Such a small wound needs medicine?

Huo Feng was a little shocked for a moment. Could it be that while they were talking, the wound had almost healed?

Is it necessary to use medicine for such a small wound?

But seeing that his own prince was anxious and distressed, he quickly took out the golden medicine in his arms.

Shu Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed: "Brother, this wound will heal soon, why do you need medicine for it?"

Yun Qinghan said forcefully: "It's bleeding, you should apply some medicine! It will heal quickly."

If I had known that my wife couldn't sew, I shouldn't have let her do it.

When Principal Chu saw this scene, he nodded with satisfaction. It was not bad. He knew how to care for his wife and really liked his little disciple.

To be honest, after hearing the younger disciple's explanation, he was quite worried. The second disciple had no choice but to marry the younger disciple in order to save him. If this was the case, it would not be good for anyone. After all, he felt sorry for the younger disciple and did not want to let the second disciple down!

And what about the little disciple? If Qinghan marries her just because of the friendship between brothers, how will the little disciple cope with it if the second disciple meets a girl he likes in the future?

If it was only the friendship between brothers, even if the two got married, they wouldn't be able to go far in the future. Now that he saw that the youngest disciple had feelings for the second disciple, and the second disciple seemed to be deeply in love, he felt relieved.

Love is good, lovers will eventually get married, so that the future life will be meaningful and happy, and they can also make more contributions to Daning.

He would also go and talk to the emperor later. The young couple were both meritorious ministers of Daning. Qinghan had made great contributions in expanding the territory, and his disciple had discovered so many high-yield crops, which played a key role in the development of Daning. The two of them had to have a good relationship to work for Daning together.

But you can't find some messy concubine or something, which will create a rift between the two of them, making them sad and discouraged. That would be a loss for Daning.

It would be best if the young couple could always live in harmony and make greater contributions to Daning.

After applying the medicine, Yun Qinghan saw Shu Xiaoxiao wanted to pick up the embroidery needle, so he stopped her directly. It was obvious that his wife was not good at sewing, so she should not try it again. What if she hurt her hand? He would feel bad.

Dean Chu was just about to find someone who knew how to sew, but before he could open his mouth, Yun Qinghan looked directly at Huo Feng.

"Guard Huo, I remember your needlework is pretty good, why don't you try it first!"

Huo Feng:...............

After thinking about it, he silently picked up the needle and thread. Compared with their Crown Prince's wife, his needlework was indeed quite good.

The clothes were sewn very quickly. Huo Feng had held a needle and thread before, so he had some basic skills in sewing. In addition, Yun Qinghan ordered him to learn sewing a few days ago. Although this order was incredible, he was a subordinate and had to complete the master's task no matter how incredible it was.

So he went to the needlework room specially to learn for a few days. As for the effect, it would definitely not be worse than Shu Xiaoxiao's. Now everyone was waiting to see the effect of the clothes, so he just sewed along the direction Shu Xiaoxiao had just sewed. Because Shu Xiaoxiao's start was too rough, he didn't pursue anything else, as long as there was no leakage, and he closed the needle as quickly as possible.

After the clothes were sewn, Shu Xiaoxiao looked at the straight clothes and was rarely speechless.

Although Huo Feng's clothes were not very fine, the stitching was neat, which made her stitches look even crooked, which was really discouraging.

Shu Xiaoxiao twitched her lips: "............Why didn't you tell me earlier that you could do it!"

Huo Feng, a grown man, sews better than her. It seems that she really has no talent in this area. Fortunately, she got married early and doesn't need to learn anymore, otherwise she would have suffered.

There are so many maids and embroiderers in the mansion, most of whom can make clothes. She will never touch needles and thread again to avoid embarrassment.

Huo Feng took it all in silence, so: "..............It's my fault."

Mr. Chu: ...............

Yun Qinghan:...............

To be fair, this mistake is a bit far-fetched.

Yun Qinghan glanced at Huo Feng and said silently: "Go back and raise the monthly salary!"

Huo Feng immediately stopped feeling wronged and even felt refreshed. Isn't it just needlework? It's nothing. He would practice more when he got back. Whenever the prince and princess needed it, he would guarantee that he could make anything.

"Come on, come on, sit down. Let's try out the warmth-keeping effect first." Director Chu picked up the clothes he had just sewn, tried them on his body a few times, and put them on.

The cotton-padded jacket is a vest style for the upper body. Not to mention the stitching, but the sleeves let air in on both sides, so although it is warm, it is not noticeable.

Several people went out and found a wind vent. It was already the end of October, and the wind at this time was already cold. Director Chu stood in the wind vent, and the wind blew, bringing cold air.

But Principal Chu was delighted. He touched the vest on his body and said happily, "It really keeps me warm. When the wind blows over me, my face and arms are cold, but my chest is very warm. It's because this coat has no sleeves. If it had sleeves, and the needlework was done more tightly, it would definitely be very warm."

"And this piece of clothing doesn't use much cotton. If you add some cotton, it will still be warm when it's cold in winter. Great, great. With it, people can go out in winter in the future."

"I'll have someone make another one right now......"

When seeing his little apprentice, Principal Chu suddenly felt stuck. After all, it was his little apprentice who discovered and improved cotton. Without his little apprentice, there would be no such warm cotton. If he disliked his little apprentice's needlework, wouldn't that be bad?

Shu Xiaoxiao didn't care. If the needlework was bad, it was bad. She wasn't an embroiderer who made a living from it. But she was still very happy to see her master defending her. She said directly: "Master, find someone to do a set. I don't even like this needlework."

"But if you do make it, don't make it like the robe we are wearing. It wastes fabric and cotton, and it leaks air when you walk and doesn't keep you warm. Just make it like a riding suit, with a cotton jacket on top and cotton pants on the bottom."

Modern cotton-padded jackets are all of this style, which has been proven over a long period of time. They are both warm and convenient. They can be made into long robes. She couldn't believe how strong the wind was blowing when she walked, and no matter how thick the cotton-padded jacket was, it was useless.

When Director Chu Shanzhang imagined it, his eyes immediately lit up. Although it was a bit troublesome to make cotton-padded clothes and trousers, it was indeed economical and could retain heat to the greatest extent.
