Chapter 577 The Weird Silk Thread (3)

Linglong couldn't help becoming nervous: "Can't even my sister recognize it?"

Ting Lan remained silent for a while.

Just when Linglong thought she was going to return in vain this time, she heard her order the palace servants: "Pour Aijia a cup of old-fashioned Pu'er."

The palace servants didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly made a cup of Pu'er tea with a rich tea color and faint oily flowers.

In her memory, Ting Lan always liked tea with a light taste, such as Longjing tea and Lu'an Guapian tea, and never drank Pu'er tea with a strong taste, even the old Pu'er tea that has been preserved for 30 to [-] years.

Why now...

Under Linglong's puzzled gaze, Ting Lan took the silk thread, slowly put it into the tea, and covered it.

After being bored with tea for a long time, she opened the tea cover, took out the silk thread, and looked carefully at the candlelight, with a light smile on the corner of her mouth: "As expected!"

Linglong was very curious, and hurriedly said, "Sister, what did you find?"

Ting Lan handed over the silk thread and said in a manly voice, "Look carefully."

Linglong picked up this silk thread, and she felt weird as soon as she started to use it.

Just now Ting Lan put it in the hot tea for a long time, logically this line should have been soaked by the tea.

But this time she started, the line was still very dry, as if it had never been soaked in tea.

Linglong regained her composure, took the line to look at it by candlelight, and an incredible scene appeared.

It is unbelievable that the Pu-erh tea that has been soaked with oily flowers is still as white as snow.

Linglong's palms trembled, and she said in a trembling voice: "This thread... this thread..."

Ting Lan smiled and said, "You want to ask, why this silk thread has been soaked in such rich tea, why it still maintains its snow-white color, and it is not even stained by any oily flowers floating on the tea?"

Linglong nodded.

Ting Lan said: "Because the material made of this kind of silk thread is so special, it is called 'Xue He Sha'."

Linglong looked into Ting Lan's eyes: "Xue Hesha? Why haven't I heard the name of this material?"

Ting Lan said: "It's not just you, I'm afraid even the chief eunuch who is in charge of the silk warehouse, and the chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who is in charge of scheduling all these things may not necessarily know the name 'Xue Hesha'."

Linglong hurriedly asked: "Sister, I have been in the middle palace for ten years. In the past ten years, I have been in charge of the harem scheduling, and I have seen a lot of silk materials. Why do I never know about Xuehe yarn? What is the origin of this yarn?" ?”

Looking at the moonlight outside the window, Ting Lan said quietly: "In the past, the late emperor read ancient books, and accidentally read "Shu Yi Ji" written by Liang Renfang of the Southern Dynasty. Those who are like frost, a dragon yarn, whose price is a hundred gold, are thought to be clothes, and they will not get wet when they enter the water."

"The first emperor felt that this kind of shark yarn woven by sharks, which is as white as snow and does not soak in water, is very miraculous, so he ordered the three major weaving bureaus of Jiangning, Hangzhou, and Suzhou to imitate this legendary strange yarn. Interested, after the imperial decree was issued, I forgot about it, and I never thought that Jiangning weaving would imitate this thing."

"When this yarn was presented to the capital, in order to verify the magic of the fabled silk yarn, the first emperor asked the workers to put the yarn in an ink tank. Who would have thought that the yarn would be as white as snow, not stained with any ink. The first emperor exclaimed that it was miraculous, and specially issued an order to let the craftsman who made this yarn enter the palace, let him talk about the method of making it, and reward him by the way."
