Chapter 111 The Magical Sewing Machine(1/2)

"Flat."

The sound on his head was gentle and smiling, which made Ji Wan's nervousness fade a lot.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

She stood up and couldn't help but look up slightly at the most noble man in the world. Today, the emperor has just reached his forties, with soft outlines and handsome facial features. He looks like a very kind person.

Emperor Mingde was also looking at her.

The little girl's excessive beauty surprised him a little, and then smiled, "You are Ji Wan, a girl from Ji who invented gloves, warm-house vegetables, and artificial ice making?"

Although His Majesty seems easy to get along with, he is a person who holds the power of life and death in the whole world. Ji Wan dares not be proud of himself. He answered embarrassedly, "Yes."

Emperor Mingde smiled and looked at Master Zhou next to him.

"The Grand Master is blessed. He has such a smart great-granddaughter, but he has relieved me a lot of worries."

As Zhou, who had a engagement with his uncle, Emperor Mingde knew it. This is also one of the reasons why Ji Wan was cautious.

Your Majesty and the Queen are young couples, and they have a deep relationship. The marriage between her mother and her uncle was given by Emperor Mingde. Later, such a thing happened, and the Zhou family slapped the emperor and the queen in the face. It was precisely because of this that the old teacher made up his mind to kick the Changsun out of the family tree. On the one hand, it was because of the rumor, and more importantly, it was to calm the emperor's anger.

Later, he personally entered the palace to apologize.

An old man in his fifties, a veteran of three dynasties, took off his official hat and knelt outside the Golden Palace in the scorching sun.

At that time, I don’t know how many people saw jokes and how many ridicule they suffered.

It is also thanks to Emperor Mingde, a kind and kind emperor, who has always respected this teacher. Not only did he not blame him, he still entrusted him with important tasks.

Those powerful families in the capital are also accustomed to looking at their faces. Seeing the emperor's attitude, who dares to talk about right and wrong behind their backs?

This matter gradually subsided.

After many years, Emperor Mingde saw Ji Wan and remembered the past again. He was not angry, but he was a little moved.

"Your Majesty is so kind that she has the honor to meet Tianyan."

The old teacher said politely.

Emperor Mingde smiled again and looked at Ji Wan, "How old are you?"

Ji Wan answered honestly, "Reply to Your Majesty, the 14th year of the People's Women."

Not yet ready for the hairpin.

"How did you think of warming the house vegetables and ice making?"

Emperor Mingde asked again.

Ji Wan thought for a while and said, "Michelle girls are in the countryside, and they have vegetable fields at home and know how to do farming. Because of their parents' teachings, they can learn to read and write, combined with the four seasons of agricultural cooperatives, and they did a experiment on warming vegetables. As for ice making, they also had a sudden idea because they accidentally learned the components of fireworks. After experimenting several times, they finally made ice."

Emperor Mingde praised him all over his eyes, "You can understand the profoundness of the book and be bold and innovative, which shows your intelligence."

Ji Wan was praised to the point of guilt.

"Your Majesty is absurd, and the people are terrified."

It’s not because she is smart, it’s because she stole the wisdom of her ancestors, but she was rewarded by His Majesty for this. Thinking about it, it’s really a villain’s act.

Emperor Mingde didn't know the little girl in her heart and asked again: "I heard that you are good at cooking?"

This must have been said by Lu Feili.

"Just understand a little."

The little girl was modest, Emperor Mingde smiled, "The soldiers from the north praised your sausages. Is this just a little bit? Even the imperial chef said that you are delicate and clever and have unique ideas."

Ji Wan was a little confused.

Then I remembered that she gave the recipe for sausage to Lu Feili. So, Lu Feili presented it to Emperor Mingde?

Her face turned slightly red, "When she was young, she followed her elders and later studied for her livelihood. Fortunately, she was loved by the soldiers and the people were honored."

Ji Wan kept her mother's words in mind and should not be arrogant and arrogant. Therefore, all words and sentences are humble words.

The so-called speakers are unintentional and listeners are intentional. Mr. Zhou listened to his Majesty and his great-granddaughter's question and answer, but his heart was filled with storms.

I knew that my eldest granddaughter had to suffer a lot of hardship in the countryside, but I didn't expect that I could be so miserable.

Especially when His Majesty asked, "How did you think of gloves?"

He heard the 14-year-old girl say in a somewhat tender voice: "It's cold in the north, and because of the poor family, the mother lights up the lamp and boils oil to make embroidery to sell to maintain the family's expenses. The sisters in the family also exposed their fingers due to farm work and have frostbite. So they thought about whether there is an object that can keep their fingers away from the cold without any hindrance? Then they have gloves."

She answered calmly, but Old Master Zhou frowned when he heard it.

How noble is the Zhou family? All the children in the clan do not touch the spring water. They have learned red embroidery since childhood, not to make a living.

This shows how hard it has been for the eldest granddaughter’s family over the years.

The 70-year-old old teacher was in a heavy mood. When he looked at his great-granddaughter standing there properly, he remembered what Changsun said in the letter.

When he lost his husband young, he was reluctant to let his mother-in-law down and treated and insulted him, and almost killed him. The eldest granddaughter's weak personality was forced to go to court to sue his mother-in-law. Later, in order to make a living, his great-granddaughter made money in business and earned some small property.

Such a young girl should be at the age of being ignorant of the world, but she has to show up to open a restaurant to do business... How many people will be so angry that she will suffer?

He thought of the mother and daughter of Xiao Guan, and could not hide his anger in his heart.

Although they were punished back then, at least the two of them were free to eat and wear. But what about the eldest granddaughter's family? After suffering all the hardships and frigidity, they are still ordinary people in vain.

Mr. Zhou is in a complicated mood and looks not very good-looking.

However, Ji Wan had gradually relaxed, her eyes were calm, and her answers were flowing.

"…The woman is extremely blushing and hurts her eyes. The young woman is not good at this, but she can't bear to have her mother's labor. She thought about whether there is a utensil that can be used for her? After studying it for a long time, she finally achieved results."

In this way, Emperor Mingde learned about the sewing machine from her, and his eyes were bright, which made her move the sewing machine to the palace tomorrow and demonstrate it to him personally.

Ji Wan naturally agreed.

After hearing this, Zhou was surprised at his daughter's boldness and was also a little worried.

"Isn't you telling you not to be arrogant. Why are you so bold in front of His Majesty? If your sewing machine is not effective, it is a crime of deceiving the king..."

"Mom, don't worry."

Ji Wan's eyes were transparent, "If I were not very sure, I wouldn't dare to boast about Haikou. Have you seen the sewing machine? Let's go, I'll teach you how to use it."

Zhou was still a little unbelievable. She had seen the drawings of the sewing machine made by her daughter before, which was quite complicated. After the craftsmen finished it, she also went to see it. The finished product was clear at a glance, much clearer than the complex drawings. It was really hard to imagine that such a sewing machine used so many parts.

After she experienced it herself, she realized why her daughter was so passionate about this.

"It is so easy and quick to sew clothes? The needlework is neat and beautiful, flat and firm, and it is very easy to use... Awan, how did you come up with it?"

Zhou, who is good at Nu Hong, has experienced the convenience and excellence of the sewing machine, and looks at her baby daughter with surprise.

Ji Wan smiled and said, "Mom, do you still think I am talking nonsense now?"

Zhou looked at her daughter's shiny gaze and hugged her in her arms, "No, our Awan is the smartest and capable, and she is narrow-minded."

Ji Wan was very happy to be recognized by her mother.

Because they wanted to present it in front of the emperor, the Zhou family attached great importance to it. The old teachers, Zhou Yan, Zhou Changru, Zhou Changqing, and even Cheng and Lin all came to see the true appearance of the sewing machine. The women who were good at the girl red tried it themselves according to Professor Ji Wan's method, and all their eyes were surprised.

"It's so amazing, so fast."

"How did Awan have such a brain? How could he be so smart?"

"With this sewing machine, I don't have to worry about getting a needle in my hand, and it's also convenient to make clothes in the future."

The man did not understand the female red color, but he also witnessed the function and function of the sewing machine. Even the embroiderers in the mansion who made clothes for the masters praised him and even showed obsession with the sewing machine. The men were completely relieved.

The next day is a holiday, so there is no need to go to court.

Mr. Zhou took his great-granddaughter into the palace alone, but not in the imperial study, but in His Majesty's living hall. In addition to the eunuchs who served, there were many men and women. When he came in, Ji Wan heard the attendant remind him that some of these people were officials of the Ministry of Works, and some were from the Shanggong Supervisor’s Clothing Supervisor in the palace.

Even the queen sat next to Emperor Mingde.

The queen looks in her thirties, has a gorgeous appearance, a calm look, and looks like she is not a proud person.

When Emperor Mingde saw the two of them coming, he showed joy. After the old teacher and Ji Wan finished their greetings, he said, "Little girl, I have been looking forward to your one... Oh, sewing machine, don't let me down."

"yes."

Ji Wan was not as reserved as yesterday, and her words and deeds were generous, which made the queen look a little bit sideways.

"Your Majesty, according to Miss Ji, this sewing machine can be beneficial to women and women. If it is as magical as Miss Ji said, can I let you try it first?"

Emperor Mingde smiled cheerfully, "Let's see what the sewing machine is first, and the queen will try it out at that time."

The queen smiled as if she was right and looked at Ji Wan, "Since that's the case, Miss Ji let us all see what this sewing machine looks like."

"yes."

Everyone in the hall had already seen the big objects covered by black cloth and carried in by two men, and they were all curious.

Ji Wan walked over and lifted the black cloth, revealing the true appearance of the sewing machine. There was immediately a rumbling of discussion in the hall.

"Is this a sewing machine?"

"It looks like a clever object."

"What's the horizontal one on the table?"

"Like a vessel."
