My whole family has crossed with Goldfinger

Chapter 565 Chapter 565: Investigation

The wedding date has been officially determined, and if you calculate it carefully, it will only take more than half a year.

These days, it is customary for the girl to be married to embroider her own wedding dress. Logically speaking, after getting engaged, she should start embroidering the wedding dress. After all, a wedding dress is not so easy to make, and some are made every stitch and thread. If you sew it yourself, it will take a year or two to do the complicated work.

But Xu Yinyin is not good at needlework at all, and she has never thought about embroidering the wedding dress with her own hands. She twists the needle and guides the thread every day. Don't waste your eyes too much. If you have this time, you might as well do other things. Her hands are really unbearable. Keep the needle and thread.

Some rich families also have embroiderers to help embroider wedding dresses. The girl's family only needs to embroider two symbolic stitches at the end. After all, not all boudoir girls are amazing at embroidery, and Xu Yinyin planned to do so.

However, she thought about her wedding dress. After all, she had to be involved in it. If she couldn't embroider, she would design it herself!
When you are wearing a wedding dress for the first time in your life, you naturally want to wear the best and most unique one.

I think of those pictures of classical wedding dresses that I have seen online. If they were made of the finest silks and satins here, the best embroidery techniques, and purely handmade, I don’t know how exquisite they would be.

Whatever she wanted to do, Xu Yinyin took a pen and paper and started designing according to her own ideas and hobbies.

After repeated revisions and improvements, I even scrapped a bunch of draft paper in the process. In this way, it took four or five days to complete a wedding dress picture.

Looking at the gorgeous and exquisite wedding dress on the paper, Xu Yinyin nodded secretly, already thinking how beautiful this wedding dress would be on her body.

Not bad.

The design drawing has been drawn, but who will be hired to do it?

As far as she knew, Ji Fu's daughter-in-law, Wu, was good at embroidery, so she was in charge of the sewing room in the house. The clothes she was wearing were made by tailors from a tailor shop. Wu's hand.

After thinking about it, Xu Yinyin asked someone to call Mrs. Wu to ask, "Can you make this wedding dress?"

Wu raised her eyes and saw the drawing, and was instantly stunned by the wedding dress on it. It took her a moment to realize that the girl was waiting for her reply.

The girl asked her what she was doing?

This wedding dress. She didn't have the confidence to make this wedding dress.

The girl's wedding date has been set, and I know that this wedding dress must belong to the girl. How can I neglect the girl's wedding dress?She was afraid that she could not do well.

Moreover, the embroidery on this wedding dress is too complicated and exquisite, and her embroidery skills are indeed somewhat beyond her ability.

Immediately he hurriedly replied: "Back to you, girl, I'm afraid I can't do it well. This embroidery is too complicated. I've never embroidered it before."

If the embroidery of the girl's wedding dress is ruined, then she has sinned.

Otherwise, how could she not accept such a prestigious job as embroidering a girl's wedding dress?

The wedding dress is a big deal, and Xu Yinyin put a lot of thought into designing the embroidery. Naturally, she wanted the wedding dress to be perfect. Although she was a little regretful when she heard Wu's answer, she was not disappointed.

If Wu is not good enough, then find someone else. As long as you are willing to spend money, why can't you find a suitable embroiderer?

I first checked the embroidery shop in Yiyang Prefecture, but couldn't find anyone with good embroidery skills, so I spread the word and looked at the cloth shop embroidery workshop in Yiyang Prefecture to see if there were any highly skilled people who dared to recommend themselves.

As a result, word soon spread throughout Yiyang Mansion that Princess Jiacheng was looking for an embroiderer who was a good embroiderer.

Being able to work for Jiacheng County was an honorable thing. The entire cloth village embroidery workshop in Yiyang Mansion got busy and selected their best embroiderers to send to Xu Mansion.

There are many people who have embroiderers in their houses, and some of them are very good embroiderers. After hearing this, they thought of falling in the eyes of Princess Jiacheng, so they also sent the embroiderers to the Xu Mansion.

For a time, the front door of Xu Mansion was very lively.

Xu Yinyin didn't want the wedding dress picture to be circulated like this, so she drew the most complicated pattern on the wedding dress and asked Wu to take charge of it. She used this drawing to interview the embroiderers who came to her.

Those who can embroider this pattern will stay.

After three days of busy work, there were only eight or nine embroiderers left who could embroider this pattern to life.

Xu Yinyin finally met these embroiderers, and based on her eyesight, she kept four of them.

These four are all embroiderers from several embroidery workshops in Yiyang Prefecture, and they have signed contracts with the embroidery workshops. Xu Yinyin naturally has to tell their employers if she wants to keep them.

The owner of several people from his own embroidery workshop was overjoyed and asked the princess to just send them.

Xu Yinyin did not use other people's work in vain. Before the wedding dress was embroidered, the four embroiderers provided food and accommodation in the Xu Mansion. In addition, she gave the owners of several embroidery workshops a sum of money, which was equivalent to buying several embroiderers. It's been a few months.

In addition, Xu Yinyin also made an agreement with several embroiderers. After the wedding dress is embroidered, she will give them another sum of money.

Naturally, several people agreed and promised to embroider the wedding dress properly.

Being able to embroider a wedding dress for a princess, it will be a shame for them to talk about it later, won't it?
You have already embroidered a wedding dress for the princess. What kind of noble errands can you not accept in the future?
At this point, the matter of Xu Yinyin's wedding dress was settled. The best materials, gold and silver threads were prepared, and a quiet embroidery room was set up. Several embroiderers looked at the wedding dress drawings and began to work.

The embroidered wedding dress is not just a wedding dress, and the wedding dress is not just a piece of clothing. In addition to a big dress, inside and outside, there are also wedding dresses, wedding shoes, wedding quilts, wedding pillows, etc., etc., etc. The embroiderer is really not a big one.

In half a year, you really have to hurry up. When it is finished, you will have to try it on yourself. If it doesn't fit, you will have to change it immediately. In short, you can't squeeze the time.

Someone was making the wedding dress, so Xu Yinyin put it aside for the time being. She didn't need to keep an eye on it all the time. She could just look back and ask after a while. Always staring and asking would also disturb the embroiderer.

At the end of September, the weather was getting colder and colder. Although it was not cold enough to use a hand stove, Xu Yinyin also put on a quilted jacket and used a cloak when going out.

The wind blowing in Yiyang Mansion was also very biting, so Xu Yinyin did not go out easily.

She was afraid that her face would get chapped, so she took very good care of her face. She couldn't miss facial cream in the morning and evening.

It’s easy to pass the time without going out. In the morning, Mrs. Xu and Zhang Xiulan casually played with Aunt Huang or Huang’s Forsythia. They didn’t care who was on top, and they had a table of mahjong. Unknowingly, the whole morning was over. pass.

After lunch, I took a quick nap, got up, had afternoon tea, read, wrote, and did some crafts.

These are Xu Yinyin's hobbies, and she enjoys them.

On this day, Xu Yinyin had just gotten up from her nap and was about to call Ding Xiang, who was on duty outside, to come in when she heard a lot of movement in the yard outside. She couldn't help but be curious, put on her cloak and opened the door to go out.

As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw Ding Xiang coming from the corridor, "Girl, you're awake. Today the kitchen has made Bazhen cake and yam cake, as well as Tremella lotus seed soup and fermented glutinous rice dumplings. Which one would you like to eat, girl?"

Xu Yinyin glanced at the corner of clothes passing by the courtyard door and couldn't help but ask: "What happened?"

Ding Xiang said hurriedly: "It was Madam Huang who reported it to her and is leading people to search everyone in the house."

Xu Yinyin was confused. She just took a nap. What happened?Something was lost in her mother's house?
After listening to Ding Xiang explain it in detail, she understood.

It's true that the aftermath of the Qingping Sect, which caused a commotion in the capital, has spread to their Yiyang Mansion.Before leaving Beijing, she had someone tell Shuntian Prefecture Yin that the Qingping Sect members had dot ring marks on their arms. Subsequently, many Qingping Sect members were identified in Beijing.

Not long ago, news came from the capital that even Prince Kang's favorite concubine was a member of the Qingping Sect, and she still had four dots on her arms.

At present, the screening in the capital is almost complete, and it is gradually spreading to the outside world. Yiyang Mansion has also begun to screen. Each government is afraid that Qingping Sect members have sneaked into their own houses. Now the emperor is conducting a thorough investigation of Qingping Sect. They also sent people to suppress and exterminate the remnants of the previous Qingping Sect.

The existing identification methods naturally need to be carefully investigated.

All the prefectures are conducting investigations in full swing. It’s not possible for their prefectures to remain motionless, just in case something happens.

Xu Yinyin heard that this was the reason, so she didn't say anything. After some investigation, she felt relieved. After all, many of the items brought back from the capital were purchased before.

She nodded to show that she understood, ordered fermented glutinous rice dumplings and yam cakes for today's afternoon snack, and then turned around and went back to the house.

Just after finishing a bowl of fermented glutinous rice dumplings and two pieces of yam cake, a little girl came outside to report that Grandma Huang was here.

As soon as Xu Yinyin heard that Xu Shi's investigation had results, she quickly asked Nanny Huang to come in and talk.

Soon, Nanny Huang came in, greeted Xu Yinyin, and then said: "Princess, two Qingping sect members have been found in the mansion. Madam asked the old slave to come and ask the princess for instructions on how to deal with them?"

Hearing this, Xu Yinyin was surprised. She never thought that there really was one in their house!
The Qingping Sect is really all-pervasive, and it has planned a big situation. I am afraid that similar people have spies in the house.

"Who are these two people, and what do they think they are?"

Aunt Huang said: "One is the maid who collects lotus flowers in the madam's courtyard, and the other is Yu Shun, who works as an errand in the outer courtyard."

Xu Yinyin didn't hear that they were in an important position, and she didn't have much impression of these two people. After thinking about it, she said: "See what the regulations are in Ye Mansion, and just follow them."

The Ye family actually found out two of them. Naturally, they were put in jail and interrogated carefully. They would not be dealt with until the Qingping teacher's affairs were settled.

Aunt Huang asked people to inquire about it, and then she sent the two lotus pickers to Magistrate Ye.

Other families who have found out have done this.

The rumblings of investigations by various governments lasted for several days before they gradually calmed down. At this time, news also came that the Qingping Sect’s head teacher in Xuanzhou had been destroyed and many core figures had been arrested, but the one who founded it The leader and his son of the Qingping Sect, who wanted to rebel against Yan and restore Qi, ran away with many of their followers but were not caught.

Two days later, the Yiyang Prefecture also received the Haidu documents, which were posted all over the city, attracting many people to watch.
After Xu Yinyin got the news, she also went out in the carriage and went to see for herself what the leader looked like.

But when she saw the extremely abstract portrait, she twitched her lips. She was convinced that she could really catch him like this.

This painting looks like Zhang San, Li Si, and Qian Wu. If you look around the street, you can find several similar ones.

This painter is also great.

Xu Yinyin feels that the current emperor is quite good, mainly because he has friendship with her family. The emperor sitting safely in that position is the best thing for their family. If there is another emperor, it may not be a good thing.

So, she didn't want anyone to destroy it.

Unless these reactionaries die, they will cause trouble wherever they go.

To be on the safe side, it’s better to catch them all as soon as possible.

Thinking like this, Xu Yinyin went to the government office.

When Magistrate Ye learned that Princess Jiacheng was coming, he immediately came out to meet her and said, "I have met the Princess, and I wish her peace and prosperity."

"I wonder if the princess is here, what orders do you have?"

Seeing Magistrate Ye's respectful look, Xu Yinyin felt funny and quickly asked people to get up. This was the future father-in-law of her good sister, and the two families were on good terms, so there was no need to be so polite.

Magistrate Ye has done enough etiquette. Now Yiyang Mansion is the fiefdom of the princess. As a magistrate, he is also a subordinate of the princess. He is always at the mercy of the princess.

After sitting down, Xu Yinyin immediately asked: "Master Ye, I wonder where this sea arrest document came from?"

Magistrate Ye didn't know why and replied: "It was issued by the Ministry of Punishment."

As soon as Xu Yinyin heard that it was the Ministry of Punishment, she figured it out. Perhaps it was the information provided by the captured core members of the Qingping Sect, and the painters of the Ministry of Punishment drew it and distributed it to the various states.

Is it possible that she will go to Beijing again?
Thinking about the freezing weather now, it is really hard to travel on the road. It takes nearly a month to go back and forth, which is very troublesome.

Moreover, Wuya was about to get married, how could she leave at this time?

After thinking about it, she turned around and went to Akihito Garden.

Although now the sanitary ware for the palace is shipped directly from the workshops in the capital, and a factory has also been built in the capital, so there is no need for delivery from Yiyang Prefecture, but the factory in Yiyang Prefecture still needs to supply the goods. Qingzhou and other prefectures, so Manager Wu still has to coordinate these matters and is always in Yiyang.

When he learned that Princess Jiacheng was coming, Manager Wu did not dare to neglect him. He knew how much the emperor valued Princess Jiacheng now, but he did not dare to think that Princess Jiacheng was no longer the little girl she was at the beginning.

He personally came out and invited Princess Jiacheng into the flower hall, where she was served tea. Manager Wu took the initiative to ask the princess what her instructions were.

Xu Yinyin hurriedly said the instructions but did not dare to take them seriously. She came to ask Manager Wu for help.

Help, Manager Wu has done this a lot, whether it was helping the workshop ship goods to Beijing or looking for a house in Beijing for Xu Yinyin.

Therefore, Manager Wu thought that Xu Yinyin's search for him was a private matter, so even if he promised that it would be no problem, he would be happy to help Princess Jiacheng.

Xu Yinyin said hurriedly: "That's it. I've read the sea arrest document that the government just posted. To be honest, the portrait is too general. If the other party is bent on hiding, it will be difficult to find him. Manager Wu People also heard that I am quite proficient in painting portraits, and I also thought that I could help the emperor catch this remnant of the previous dynasty as soon as possible.

I heard that this document was issued from the Ministry of Punishment. I think it was painted by a painter from the Ministry of Punishment. However, not long after I came back from the capital, my cousin got married soon. I really can’t leave. I wonder if Manager Wu can help me to ask the emperor for instructions. , can you ask the Ministry of Punishment to send people to Yiyang Mansion?It doesn't need to be an important person, just anyone who has met the leader of the Qingping Sect. "

As soon as Manager Wu heard this, he understood that Princess Jiacheng's paintings of people were very realistic, and he also knew that, just like Hu Xuan of the Red Lotus Sect before, wasn't it the portrait that Princess Jiacheng painted herself and was caught?

The portraits of government painters are all vague. It is indeed not easy to arrest people based on their portraits. It would be much easier to arrest people if they had paintings that were exactly the same as real people.

Thinking of this, Manager Wu immediately nodded and said that he would send a message to the Emperor Feige to ask for the Emperor's instructions and let Princess Jiacheng wait for the good news.

Xu Yinyin left this trip and left immediately after knowing that Manager Wu would consult the Emperor on this matter.

It is indeed troublesome to escort a prisoner all the way to Yiyang Mansion, but this matter depends on the emperor. If the emperor is willing to let her help, people will naturally send it. If the emperor does not let her help, or just send the letter If people have already caught the effort, it is naturally better.

In short, she has done what she has to do, and it seems that she will not come in the end. If she comes, she will immediately draw a portrait and post the portrait as a wanted person. Even if there is no guarantee that the person will be caught, it will be easier than arresting the person with the current portrait. Much more likely.
