Rank One Princess Douxian Wang: Phoenix Palace Brocade

Chapter 135
"Is there anything else you haven't thought of? You tell the slaves to listen to it, tell me." Bi Shui was addicted to listening.

"Stop talking, you can figure it out on your own. In short, attacking the heart is the most important thing." No matter how much she begged, Xu Jiatong just smiled and said nothing, and put his mind on his embroidery.

Xu Jiaxing is not only smart, but also suspicious. Due to her limited knowledge, she didn't think clearly about many things before.

Now that he was instructed, he knew what to do on the one hand, but on the other hand he would think of these principles. Xu Jiatong understood, how could the well-informed Xu Jialan not know?
When Xu Jiaxing thinks about it, it becomes very clear that Xu Jialan doesn't care about her life at all.

To make a deal with such a person who doesn't care about his own life or death, it is an inevitable ending that the bird will be hidden, the cunning rabbit will die, and the lackey will cook.

For two days in a row, Xu Jiaxing didn't show up, so she must have been thinking a lot.This day, Xu Jiaqing finally "drilled" out of the wing room. She had been busy with female celebrities for several days, her eyes were dazzled and her hands were soft. When she came out, she felt that she couldn't even stand firmly.

Xu Jiatong felt that the belt she embroidered was not bad, at least two or three points better than before, and she was only there to join in the fun, so she simply didn't take her too seriously and praised her a few more words.

Xu Jiaqing was overjoyed and insisted on going out with her for a stroll.Xu Jiatong didn't have a good time shopping in the markets of the Western Capital, so he accepted her and let Bi Shui and Qing'er follow her.

"Fourth sister, look there is an embroidery workshop over there, and the Jinxiu workshop is about to open in Xidu, so we know ourselves and our enemies, why don't we go and have a look?" Xu Jiaqing suggested.

"Let's go, take a look." Xu Jiatong looked up, and saw "Lanyue Mountain Villa" written on the plaque, as if he had heard of it before.

"Do you two girls buy embroidery or ready-made clothes, or do you want to tailor dresses? You just came back from the Central Plains and brought back a new look. They are all fashionable among the noble ladies over there. Do you want to take a look? "The shopkeeper enthusiastically stepped forward to ask for help.

The clothes of Xu Jiatong and Xu Jiaqing are not gorgeous, but they are all from Jinxiufang, the embroidery and the texture of the brocade are very elegant.

What kind of eyesight is the shopkeeper, just by looking at it, he knows that ordinary things cannot enter the eyes of these two people.

Xu Jiatong said with a smile: "I'm sorry for the shopkeeper, but if it costs a lot, I'm afraid I won't be able to afford it."

"Miss, you are joking. The clothes you wear come from Jinxiu Workshop. It seems that the embroidery is still done by Master Gaopin. You are being modest when you say you can't afford it." The shopkeeper said politely.

Xu Jiaqing was very pleased with her compliments: "The shopkeeper's good eyesight can be seen at a glance, you don't know, my sister is..."

"I like the clothes of Jinxiufang very much." Xu Jiatong interrupted.

Xu Jiaqing realized that she had said the wrong thing, and quickly said: "Yes, yes, my sister likes the things of Jinxiufang the most. The shopkeeper, is Jinxiufang also famous in the western capital?"

"Miss, this is a joke. I don't know how many brocades and embroidery from Jinxiufang are worn on the nobles in the palace every year. Our Lanyue Villa is also one of the best embroidery villages in the Western Capital. If I don't even have this vision I don’t deserve to gain a foothold in the western capital. What’s more, I don’t need to recognize the things in the famous embroidery workshop and embroidery workshop in the world, but I don’t know this Jinxiu workshop. Master Duan of Lanyue Villa and Jinxiu workshop has a deep relationship. Yes." The shopkeeper took the opportunity to get close.

Xu Jiatong became interested and asked, "Can the shopkeeper tell you about your relationship with Master Duan?"

"Master Duan learned weaving and embroidery in our Lanyue Villa for five years earlier. Although she was very popular with the masters at that time, she was not very brilliant. Later, she was selected into the palace, and it took about five or six years. I left the palace in [-] and established Jinxiufang." The shopkeeper said with a smile, Duan's family came from Lanyue Villa, so it's very respectable to say it.

"How is this possible? If the female officials left the palace, if it wasn't for a marriage or a serious illness, the youngest would be in their thirties, but Master Duan was only in his twenties when he established Jinxiufang." Xu Jiatong said.

Mrs. Cao entered the palace when the flames of war were just about to subside. Within five years, she was married by a concubine and returned to her hometown to renew the old relationship and get married. She was about 25 years old at the time.

But Duan is still unmarried, it is not a gift marriage, and counting the days, the distance between her going out of the palace and the establishment of Jinxiufang is not far away.

More importantly, Xu Jiatong always felt that although Duan's treatment of her was not like a mother and daughter, she was also like an aunt and nephew, teaching each other all kinds of secret methods of weaving and embroidery without concealment.

It is not unusual that such a thing as entering the palace is not mentioned at all.

If true, unless there is a special reason.

"I didn't make this up. It's just that the people who know about it now have either gone far away or are no longer alive, so no one mentions it. But if you go to the palace gate to watch the excitement, you can see Qi Shanggong , She and Master Duan entered the palace one after another, and she even took the initiative to mention this matter in the early years." The shopkeeper said proudly.

A few embroiderers in the room are embroidering the edge of an outer gown. The outer gown has a moon-white background, with light blue embroidery thread embroidering flowing water patterns on it, and red plum blossoms and petals are floating on the flowing water, which looks very beautiful. Elegant.

"Girls, just take a look. If you like it, you can make another one according to your preference." The shopkeeper said politely.

Xu Jiatong took a look at it himself, and found that the stitches were delicate, the colors were carefully used, and the silk thread was dyed very well.

The plum blossoms and petals seemed to have just fallen from the flower tree, and the brilliance flowing on the petals seemed to be covered with dew.The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, but it looks delicate and charming here.

"What is the price of this one?" Xu Jiatong asked.

"This one will cost 300 taels." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"It's very fair, but it's just that I'm short of money, let's live with it." Xu Jiatong smiled, even Xu Jiaqing couldn't afford so much money right now.

The shopkeeper didn't say anything, and led them back to look at it, but he was not as attentive as before.

After a while, the two left Lanyue Mountain Villa and went to the teahouse opposite to have some refreshments to moisten their throats.

The corners of Xu Jiaqing's mouth drooped, and she said softly: "It's all my fault, I insisted on dragging you to Lanyue Villa. In fact, although that dress is exquisite, its embroidery skills are not as good as yours, let alone Master Duan, don't Whatever."

"You don't need to persuade me, I'm not unhappy. The price of things in Jinxiufang is higher, so I have to keep it for myself? I just feel that I can't even own such a dress, and I don't know what will happen to me in the future." How much more difficult is it?" Xu Jiatong said.

Many things are rare in Kunshan, and some people don’t have many of them. As a person who doesn’t have such things, if they don’t have them, they don’t have them.

But in the Western Capital, many people have these things, and they have already regarded them as normal. If they don't have them, there will be a lot of inconvenience.

If this is the case with a piece of clothing, other things will be more difficult.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, King Sheng will drive into the city, and the idlers will avoid it!"

On the busy street, a person came walking alone, and a road was immediately divided in the middle.This road becomes wider and wider as this person goes further and further away.

Xu Jiatong and Xu Jiaqing were on the second floor of the teahouse, and they both poked their heads out curiously at this time, and saw a train of horses approaching from the direction of the city gate.

On the banner in front of the chariots and horses is a steady and resolute "Sheng" character, and below it is the totem of Sheng Wangfu, showing the domineering spirit of gold and iron horses.

"Huh?" Xu Jiaqing frowned, the totem looked familiar.
