Chapter 578 The Weird Silk Thread (4)

When Linglong heard this, she couldn't help but be amazed: "Unexpectedly, the weaving craftsmen in Jiangning are so skilled that they can even make the material woven by the legendary mermaids. The wisdom of the working people is really endless. Then what happened next?"

Ting Lan said: "The craftsman entered the palace according to the order. The late emperor asked him how the yarn was made, and whether he asked the legendary South Sea sharks to help him make it. The craftsman shook his head and denied it, saying that the yarn was not made by sharks. It's not the method he learned from the merman, but the method he figured out by himself after listening to and observing the lotus leaf."

"I remember the craftsman said that there are thousands of kinds of flowers in the world, but the lotus is the most amazing species in nature. There is a very special membrane on its lotus leaves, which can make it fall The rainwater above turns into water droplets, and as long as the wind blows the lake, the lotus leaves will automatically tilt and the water droplets on them will roll away, so even after a downpour, the surface of the lotus leaves will always remain dry.”

"In addition, the rolling water droplets will take away some dust and sludge particles to achieve the effect of self-cleaning. This is the real reason why the lotus is not stained with dust. The craftsman was inspired by this and improved the silk thread and weaving method. Let the surface of the woven silk form a structure layer similar to a lotus leaf, so that this kind of yarn that cannot be dyed black even by an ink tank is made."

"The first emperor was amazed at the craftsman's ingenuity. While rewarding the craftsman, he also named the strange yarn he imitated through the lotus leaf structure 'Xuehe yarn', probably because Xuehe yarn is so magical that it directly catches up with the legendary Shark gauze is unacceptable to heaven and earth, that's why the craftsman suffered a serious illness on the way back, and died soon after."

"Because the craftsman did not have time to leave the specific production method of this yarn, and the production of this yarn is too complicated, once the craftsman dies, Xuehe yarn will become an absolute legend. No one can successfully prevent it, and because no one can imitate it, then The snow lotus gauze that was presented to the late emperor in the palace has become the only orphan product left in the world."

Linglong suddenly realized: "So that's the case, no wonder I've never heard of Xue Hesha's name."

Ting Lan said again: "The first emperor regarded this only surviving snow lotus gauze as a treasure. After the craftsman died, he solemnly sealed it up and didn't even want others to see it. The emperor was fascinated by her, and knowing that she likes to dance, he gave her the only piece of snow-hell yarn to make a special wide-sleeved fairy skirt for dancing."

Linglong hurriedly said: "Could it be that... Concubine Hui captured a person wearing a fairy dress with wide sleeves before she died, and that person was the murderer who killed her?"

Ting Lan shook her head and said, "Impossible. Concubine Yan's wide-sleeved fairy dress was destroyed by a fire in the early years. Without half of the sleeves left, how could anyone still wear it?"

Linglong scratched her head and said, "If it wasn't like this, then what would it be?"

Ting Lan said: "The snow lotus gauze is extremely precious. Although the whole piece of material is made into a wide-sleeved fairy skirt, the fragments of the fabric left over from the cutting process are not wasted. I made several purses by using this method. I remember that the first emperor gave these purses to his close cousins ​​as gifts. Among them, King Qing...that is, the current emperor, was assigned a pair of purses with the same shape. purse."
