84. Chapter 84 Three-color Brocade

Mrs. Tian thinks about it. Mrs. Li has always behaved with dignity. She is a person who is not afraid to stand aside when the wind comes. This time, the disadvantage is in the hands of the old lady. How can you dare to offend Mr. Luo and Mr. Yan again!

Still looking embarrassed, Tian's mother lowered her voice: "The third lady has a small matter, what should we do with the third lady? In the past few days, I have often asked my slave about His Highness King Yu, and she said that the Ou family is dragging its feet and wants to leave the Ou family behind.

, I went to find the prince..."

"Is she crazy?" Mrs. Yan was shocked and angry, and suddenly felt that it was difficult. It was difficult to say it in front of the servants, but she could see that Qin Yuexi's obsession with Prince Yu this time was extraordinary, and she was almost obsessed.

"Keep her under guard, and the Ou family won't let her have any contact with her."

"Madam, this is not a long-term solution." Tian's mother has watched Qin Yuexi grow up, and she is really aware of this young master's lawlessness. If she keeps hiding it, once she learns about it, she is afraid that the second wife will change the world: "Slave, if you are bold, it is not as good as Madam.

The third lady is slowly being exposed and making insinuations. The young lady is extremely smart and will come to her senses on her own."

"Let me think about it." Yan's initial good mood was gone, and her mind was filled with confusion.

Over there, Qianxi had already decided on a date to go to the mulberry garden with Han Miaorong.

Her intention was just to mention it casually, but she didn't expect Luo to agree to it. Considering that it had been a year since Liu Ru passed away, Luo probably thought that she wanted to take advantage of this to go to the memorial service, so there was no reason not to allow it.

Luwu stayed behind to look after the house, and Caiwei accompanied him. Although he was not happy, the joy of going out still outweighed the awkwardness of walking with Aunt Han. Caiwei was excited all the way, and Qianxi actually had a desire to go home.

Hope.

The look of defeat on Han Miaorong's face was no longer there. What appeared instead was a leap to escape from the prison. Along the way, she never mentioned to Qian Xi that she must seek justice for her. This realization made Qian Xi very sad.

She was pleased. If a person can't let go of the past, what's the future? It's not easy to severely punish the Yan family. How can Han Miaorong spend his whole life holding a grudge?

Therefore, Qian Xi did not intend to tell her now that Yan had lost the old lady's trust and that the bad things she had done in the past would be repaid sooner or later in the future.

It was a crisp autumn day, and along the way we saw the thatched farmhouses with green mulberry trees, white walls and black tiles. Mrs. Zhao and Sister-in-law Guo had already brought people out to greet them.

Han Miaorong and Mrs. Zhao were old acquaintances, and Mrs. Zhao's hospitality made people feel at home. Han Miaorong laughed at himself, a slave who had stayed outside for so many years had become a master, but he was as humble as an ant in that big house.

To survive.

As soon as they were welcomed in, wine, food, tea and rice were served. The food was all fresh seasonal vegetables, refreshing and pleasing to the eye, not much worse than what they usually eat in the prime minister's house. Everyone was relieved of their hardships, and Han Miaorong also felt a rare sense of comfort.

After dinner, it was still early, and Han Miaorong's leg illness had not yet healed, so he sat on the soft couch and listened to Zhao and Qian Xi's chat with a smile.

The door curtain was lifted, and Sister-in-law Guo's face was glowing red. She held a lacquer plate and brought in a few square brocades for Qian Xi to see. Caiwei stepped forward to hold the brocades. The setting sun outside had not yet set. It shone in from the window and reflected on the plain brocades like

The water of the lake was rippling. Han Miaorong couldn't help but admire: Why is this brocade so bright and soft?

Sister-in-law Guo looked proud and said that it was the Fourth Miss who gave her the recipe for practicing silk.

"The weaving is good. After all, he is an old weaver. He is not a master of craftsmanship. No matter how good the silk is, it can't be so smooth and watery." Qian Xi praised, turned to Han Miaorong and said: "I said I'm not afraid that my aunt will find it dirty. I practice it normally."

Plant ash is used to make silk, but if you want the silk to be soft and shiny, you need to add pig’s juice to the plant ash.”

Han Miaorong was amazed, but it was not because of the strange method of practicing silk, she was just curious about how many things this unpredictable fourth lady would do that would surprise people.

On the other side, Caiwei had already shaken off a piece of colorful brocade. Qianxi couldn't help but laugh silently, and Sister-in-law Guo also looked shy: "I think it's not good for me, please give me Miss Fourth's advice."

Just by looking at Caiwei's hand, Han Miaorong knew what Qian Xi was smiling at. This was a tapestry made of vines. Not to mention the vines on it, the butterflies alone were dull and lifeless. With this style,

Nobles who can afford to wear silk brocade will never look down upon it. Customers who can look after it will probably find it expensive. In short, the brocade will either not be sold or the price will not be high.

"Don't be in a hurry, weave the plain brocade first, you can still make money." Qian Xi looked calmly: "Nothing can be done overnight. When the plain brocade on Zhuangzi has regular customers, we will start with the simple three-color brocade.

"

"Three-color brocade? My slave has never heard of it. Is it made of three-color brocade? So it's simpler?" Sister-in-law Guo was excited.

Nowadays, the scale of the mulberry garden has expanded, and there are more weavers. The pieces of brocade silk are woven, and they are as soft and bright as silver. Sister-in-law Guo's enthusiasm is very high, and her eagerness makes Qianxi unable to ignore it, so she has to explain patiently.

"Three-color brocade is not easy to weave, nor does it mean that only three-color silk is used. It means that the same piece of brocade looks like clouds and mist in the morning, like flowers with dew in the morning; it looks dignified and elegant at noon, fresh and bright; in the evening

When you look at the lanterns, you will be graceful and luxurious, and the light will shine everywhere." Qianxi thought about it: "When Princess Liang came to the Eastern Capital, the Queen Mother hosted a banquet, and the Queen wore such a fairy dress with four phoenixes and five-color clouds.

Three changes in the day will amaze everyone."

There was silence in the room. Sister-in-law Guo opened her mouth and spoke for a long time: "God, these slaves can't even think about it. Miss, please forgive us. Even a real phoenix will be woven into a straw-headed chicken by the slaves."

.”

Han Miaorong, Fang'er, and Caiwei couldn't help laughing.

"Of course I didn't really ask you to weave the three-color brocade. It was a secret method in the palace. How could I have known that we could weave Kuang Fenghuang?" Qian Xi also pointed to the colorful brocade in Sister-in-law Guo's hand with a smile and said, "I'm talking about a man.

Clever method. For example, take this white butterfly green vine as an example. The pattern is simple and easy to weave. We can use the same pattern and different stitches to weave three effects in three times. Customers can make three effects of morning, noon and evening when they buy it back.

Wearing a skirt can still have the effect of changing your appearance three times a day."

"And there's another wonderful thing about this, it's hot in summer, ladies and ladies will change their clothes at home on weekdays, but if they go out to be guests, watch a play or have a banquet, it would be impolite and indecent to change clothes frequently. Such three-piece skirts

They are specious, each has its own beauty, and is easy to change, so they will definitely like it.”

Then everyone suddenly realized that it was indeed a clever trick. Everyone praised it. In fact, everyone did not know that in the summer, the queen also changed clothes like this.

Sister-in-law Guo was stunned at the side: "No wonder the young lady told us not to rush. I'm sorry that the young lady has already decided on next summer. These idiots like you are so short-sighted and have used all your energy in the wrong place."

When she thought about the future, noble people would have to buy three pieces of brocade to make a piece of clothing. Sister-in-law Guo said her troubled words with laughter in her heart and on her face.
