I was the best old lady in ancient times

Chapter 608 1 Great Achievement

The court lady never expected that such a poisonous scheme that she thought would die before she could implement it!
What's more, he didn't expect that His Majesty didn't even intend to listen to her excuse.

She opened her mouth to cry out wrongdoing, but she didn't want to die yet.

However, before she could utter the syllable, someone covered her mouth, then gagged her, and dragged her to a distance to beat her, so as not to dirty the master's eyes.

Feng Miaolan didn't know about that palace maid's poisonous plan, she had been noticed long ago.

What's more, the maid had already passed away, and after being beaten to death, she was thrown into a mass grave.

For this reason, Feng Miaolan was hoping day by day that the woman could settle the matter as soon as possible.

In that case, she will have fewer opponents.

Of course, it would be great if Ning Cheng'er could be killed together.

Although His Majesty only made Ning Cheng'er a beauty, in Feng Miaolan's heart, she always felt that the daughter of the Ning family should die.

Anyway, she wasn't the one who killed her. If others wanted to kill the daughter of the Ning family, could she still help the Ning family?

By the time she found out, the news of the maid's death was half a month later.

Feng Miaolan couldn't believe it, but when she heard the order from His Majesty, Feng Miaolan lost her energy, as if she had aged several years.

After Ning Cheng'er entered the palace, the news of being canonized as a beauty reached Nanyue Mansion, and it was already a month later.

After learning that Ning Cheng'er tried everything possible to enter the palace, but only got such a position, she felt a little embarrassed.

After all, with such a low status, even if she could conceive a child and give birth to a prince, the child would probably be taken up and raised by a concubine with a high status.

A concubine whose status is too low is not qualified to raise a prince.

This was also one of the reasons why Ning Pengpeng had always disagreed with Ning Cheng'er's entry into the palace. However, at that time Ning Cheng'er was still a big girl, so it was always bad to talk about these things.

Moreover, Ning Pengpeng did not expect that after Ning Cheng'er entered the palace, Emperor Tianxi only gave him such a low position.

However, after Ning Pengpeng thought about it carefully, he understood the reason why Emperor Tianxi gave Ning Cheng'er such a status.

Since Emperor Tianxi did this, at least Ning Cheng'er still has some weight in his mind.

After Ning Pengpeng sighed, he put the matter behind him.

After all, she still has a lot to do!

For example, topping cotton.

If this matter is really done, it will be a bit of hard work.

However, fortunately, the amount of cotton that goes down like this is not too much.

It's just that it also exhausted the big guy.

Next, the cotton bolls grew, which was very gratifying.

Ning Pengpeng felt a little sorry that Ning Mian'er was sent to Saibei, but because time had passed, Ning Lao San didn't plant it in the field.

If Ning Laosan could have planted those cottons at that time, he would also know the difference between the cotton planted in the north and the south and the harvest!
However, the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to think about it.

It's better to work hard to plant this cotton field well, which is the business.

On the day of picking cotton, the sky was cloudless, and it was really a good sunny day.

All the servants in Ning's mansion were driven by Ning Pengpeng to pick cotton bolls.

For the other children, after arriving in Nanyue Mansion, Ning Pengpeng sent them to Songyang College.

However, Songyang College has harsh conditions for accepting students.

However, the result was good, both Ning Yongyao and Ning Yongyan entered Songyang College.

Because the two younger brothers were admitted, Ning Yongpeng and Ning Yongkang, the eldest and second brothers, just glanced at them in a hurry, then turned back to their yard and plunged into the ocean of books.

Even though Ning Pengpeng called the servants from Zhuangzi and the Ning Mansion to go out together, it took two full days to pick the cotton bolls clean.

The cotton bolls have been picked, and the cotton must be cut down.

It is also good to bundle them into a bundle and use them to light a fire at that time.

And the picked cotton bolls filled a room.

Ning Pengpeng asked the people to remove all the cottonseeds in the cotton bolls first.

Then weigh it, and the weight of the cotton that comes out is shocking, more than 600 catties.

You know, a quilt weighing five catties is usually enough to keep out the cold.

If it is the weather in the north, only a quilt weighing seven catties will be extremely warm.

Plus the quilts under the body, how many quilts and quilts can be made with more than 600 catties?

The weather here in Nanyue Prefecture is always hot, and when sleeping at night, there is no need for a quilt in summer.

Only in winter, do you need a thin quilt to cover your body to avoid catching cold.

Therefore, Ning Pengpeng decided to directly make this batch of cotton into cotton clothes and trousers, and then have them transported to the north.

Regarding this matter, Ning Pengpeng wrote everything to Emperor Tianxi to know.

For some things, even if the Ning family made mistakes, Ning Pengpeng felt that as long as Emperor Tianxi loved the Ning family, even if the Ning family made mistakes, Emperor Tianxi would forgive them and not kill them all.

Moreover, what Ning Pengpeng wrote this time was not about the Ning family's mistakes, but about the loyalty of the Ning family to His Majesty.

Along with this letter, there is also a small bag of cotton seeds and ten catties of cotton, as well as a set of cotton clothes and trousers made of cotton, as well as quilts and blankets.

As soon as these two things were done, Ning Pengpeng focused on the cotton seeds this time.

So much cotton was planted before, and the reason why there was so little cotton was because there were too few seeds.

Now a full basket of cotton seeds has been sorted out. If all these cotton seeds are planted by then, the cotton production will surely exceed ten thousand catties.

In that case, the soldiers on Saibei's side would no longer have to suffer from the cold.

Emperor Tianxi touched the white cotton wool in his hands, and then checked the warmth of the new clothes.

After checking, he couldn't help sighing.

"The Lord of Shouning County has made great contributions to the Great Jin Dynasty!"

However, neither the Shouning County Lord nor the following sons seem to want to take shortcuts.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Emperor Tianxi raised Ning Cheng'er's position, allowing her to be promoted to four levels in a row and become a good girl of the fifth rank.

In this way, in this harem, apart from Concubine Shu and Feng Miaolan, Ning Cheng'er has the highest status.

Everyone in the harem who heard the news almost tore the veil in their hands.

Before they entered the palace, they were all noble daughters.

Now I actually want to salute and say hello to a country bumpkin with mud legs.

The resentment in my heart can be seen with the naked eye.

The courtiers of the former court wanted to prevent Emperor Tianxi from promoting such a woman four ranks in a row.

However, Emperor Tianxi directly told the county lord of Shouning that he discovered cotton, planted it, and made it into clothes and quilts to resist the cold.

And asked the eunuch who was serving him personally to show the clothes and quilts sent by Ning Pengpeng to everyone in the court hall to take a closer look.

Directly blocked the mouths of the courtiers who objected, even if they were reluctant, they would not be able to say that they would not allow the daughter of the Ning family to raise her status. The Ning family's offering such things is really a great achievement.
