After Su Yao had discussed with Prince Consort Tang, she went straight to Madam Liao and asked her to send a few soldiers to accompany her to the weaving ground where the children were.
Now the weaving mill has a name, it is called Cunxin Weaving Mill.
This name was chosen by Mrs. Liao. When she heard that Su Yao was going to the weaving mill, Mrs. Liao hesitated: "At this critical moment?"
Isn't it said that there might be a traitor causing trouble? It's probably not safe to go out at this time.
Although Mrs. Liao also believed in Su Yao's ability, she was still a cautious person after all, and was very afraid that Su Yao would encounter an accident.
Su Yao nodded firmly: "You don't have to worry about me. If you are really worried, just send a few more people to me."
Mrs. Liao saw her firm attitude and knew she couldn't stop her. After hesitating for a long time, she could only agree with a wry smile. In addition to Su Yao's own few trusted people, she added a total of twenty people to Su Yao's group. Even so, she was still a little uneasy.
When Su Yao arrived at Cunxin weaving workshop, the children were having lunch.
Because Mrs. Yuan was personally watching over it, the kitchen's purchases were quite conscientious, and the children's food was very good. Mrs. Yuan was also having a meal, and when she heard that Su Yao had arrived, she hurried out to greet him.
These days she had been afraid to mention the previous war to Su Yao, for fear of making Su Yao sad. Now that she saw Su Yao was willing to go out for a walk, she felt much more at ease. She smiled and pulled her into the dining hall and asked her how she felt.
Su Yao looked around for a while and saw that the utensils were all new and the children's bowls had meat and vegetables. He smiled and praised, "It's really good. It shows that you put a lot of effort into it. The children are so lucky to meet someone like Madam."
Mrs. Yuan felt a little embarrassed by the compliments: "It's all my job..."
Then he asked Su Yao why he came here today.
Su Yao smiled and shook his head: "I haven't been out for too long, and I'm tired of sitting, so I came out for a walk. After thinking about it, it seems that there is no other place to go except here, so I just came here."
As she spoke, she walked and stopped with Mrs. Yuan and visited the weaving mill.
Since it was her first time here, Mrs. Yuan naturally had to tell her about the weaving mill and took her to see the female workers.
The female workers finished their meals earlier because they had to go to learn embroidery, weaving and dyeing cloth from the people in the weaving bureau.
When he entered the weaving workshop, Su Yao saw the thing with the largest cost - the loom.
These looms were shipped from Nanjing. It took the Ji family and the Qiu family a lot of effort to successfully transport and install them. Su Yao walked in front of these looms, looked at them carefully for a while, and suddenly reached out to touch one of them. With a cold face, he turned around and asked the manager of the weaving mill: "What are you afraid of these looms?"
The steward was startled and looked at Su Yao as if he had seen a ghost.
What does it mean to be afraid of something
What is the loom afraid of
The manager was still a little confused at first, but when he saw Su Yao's eyes looking at him, he was startled and blurted out: "These looms are most afraid of fire and water. If they are burned by fire, they will be gone. If they are soaked in water, they will be useless."
However, normally everyone regards the loom as more important than their life. They are not allowed to bring even a tinder into the weaving room, and are not allowed to work at night, for fear that something might happen accidentally while using a candle. Who would have the time to think about these things
Su Yao raised his eyebrows: "Are all these looms here?"
The steward thought the county lady was puzzled, but he dared not not answer. He cheered up and replied carefully: "More than half of the looms are here, and there are six that have just been transported. They have not been debugged by the masters yet. The masters are debugging them."
Su Yao immediately stopped what he was doing, tapped the loom with his fingers, and asked with an "oh", "In the warehouse?"
She had just walked around the entire weaving mill with Mrs. Yuan, so she naturally knew that the warehouse was next to the residences of some younger children, because there was an open space there that could be left for the children to play.
The steward wiped his sweat and responded.
Su Yao's eyebrows quickly turned cold: "Go and take a look!"
The manager was so frightened that he was a little confused. He really didn't know what the county lady meant. When he went out and saw the thirty followers brought by the county lady, all of whom were armed with swords, he was even more shocked.
I always feel that the questions asked by the county lady are strange. Is something really going to happen
Su Yao had already walked down the stairs and was quickly leading his men towards the warehouse.
Madam Yuan followed her, and asked in confusion and surprise, "Yaoyao, did something happen?"
"It hasn't happened yet, but I guess something is about to happen." Su Yao answered in a low voice and quickened his pace. Before he reached the warehouse, he heard the cheerful laughter of children. These younger children had finished their meals, and the female workers who took care of them took them to play in the open space.
Su Yao glanced at them from a distance and ran straight to the warehouse.
As usual, there were two old men guarding outside the warehouse. They both knew Madam Yuan and the manager, and when they saw them coming, they stood up hurriedly.
Su Yao stopped, looked around the warehouse, and asked them softly, "Is there anyone inside?"
"A few masters just came, saying they were here to adjust the looms." The old man scratched his head, a little confused by the scene before him.
Su Yao hummed: "I'll go in and take a look."
The old man nodded, and the two of them opened the door. Su Yao winked at He Jian, and He Jian and Ruan Xiaojiu took two people each to check the surroundings.
Su Yao, Madam Yuan and the rest of the people went into the warehouse first.
The warehouse was very large, and the room where the looms were stored was in the last row. As soon as he walked past, Su Yao stopped.
Madam Yuan also stopped and asked nervously, "What's wrong?"
Su Yao didn't say anything, he just walked straight to the door and pushed it open.
There were several looms in the warehouse. When they heard the door open, several people who were busy in front of the looms turned around and looked at the door in surprise.
Seeing that everything was normal, the steward breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked, "Hurry up and salute the county lady!"
As expected, those masters quickly put down the things in their hands and hurried towards Su Yao.
At this moment, Su Yao took a step back. At the same time, Sun Xing and Sun Wang behind her took a few steps forward, blocking Su Yao behind them, as well as Madam Yuan and the steward.
The manager was totally confused. Before he could even wonder what was going on, he saw the masters suddenly pounce on the soldiers in front.
Su Yao's eyes were calm, and it was obvious that he had expected this. He looked at those people coldly, with his hands behind his back, and watched without saying a word.
She didn't say anything, and for some reason, the manager didn't dare to ask what was going on.
