Chu's Zhaohua

Chapter 254

The eyes of the Chu family couldn't help falling on the two pieces of soft smoky satin. Chu Zhen exclaimed, "Big sister, this fabric is so beautiful." They had never seen such a beautiful material, even in Yecheng. None of the aristocrats had ever had such a thing.

"This is soft smoked satin. It is a kind of cloth unique to Wu State, which is woven from colorful silkworms. The output of Wu State is not high every year. It is not even included in the tribute to King Qin. Only the king and grandson of Wu can make it." How many horses are allocated, the dozen or so horses given to the King of Qin this time may be the annual output of the Wu Kingdom."

The Chu family stared, "Achan, is this fabric so precious?"

Chu Chan said, "Since it was rewarded by the king, I thought it would be better to make summer clothes for everyone in the family, the fabric is just enough."

Mrs. Zeng shook her head hastily, "How can it be done? We can't wear such a precious material. What if we accidentally break it and the king doesn't like it and wants to chop off our heads?"

Mrs. Sun also nodded, "That's right, we don't wear such precious things, I'll take one to make clothes for you, and put the other one first."

"What are you doing with it?" Chu Chan said, "Your Majesty gave us this, of course it's for wearing."

"Big sister, we don't need these clothes, we dare not wear them out of this kind of material." Even Chu Zhen, who usually likes clothes and jewelry the most, is unwilling to accept clothes made of this kind of material.

Several people insisted on making some clothes for Chu Chan with the materials, so as to save her from looking too shabby every time she entered the palace.

Chu Chan had no choice but to say that the fabrics were up to them.

In the end, Mrs. Sun took the cloth and made four clothes for Chu Chan, and the rest of the scraps were used to make purses for the Chu family.

It was not easy for Chu Chan to wear these four clothes, so they just put them in the suitcase.

It's almost July now, and the weather is getting hotter. Chu Chan gave Mrs. Sun some cold food, lotus leaf porridge and sour plum soup, to quench thirst.

Sun learned it quickly, and the taste was very good, so the unchanging bean curd and meatball soup became lotus leaf porridge and sour plum soup, and they were all sold out in less than half a day.
