Abandoned the Immortal Cultivator, returned to his hometown to farm and sing

Chapter 1147 1138. Invitation

The next day, the Pauls took a yacht for a tour on the sea as planned, and then arrived at the Burj Al Arab in Dubai as planned.

Although there is no budget left, Drunkard still wants to take a look.

There are a large number of videos about Zuike’s store on the Internet. Among the people, it is known as the most dreamy and luxurious store, full of oriental charm, satisfying all fantasies about the mysterious East.

Even as a tourist attraction it is great.

After Zoe and her husband entered the Zuike store, they couldn't stop smiling. What they said on the Internet was absolutely right, this place was more beautiful than the most beautiful dream.

Whether it is the glazed screen wall that seems to flow when the sunlight shines through it.

Or the crystal leaves will be blown by the wind when you walk by.

Or a forest gate made of fiery red roses.

Just at the entrance, the two of them were so shocked that they shouted "My God!"

Once inside, you will see a dreamy forest trail with flashing fireflies; gorgeous silk that is over four meters long and two meters wide and embroidered with mysterious patterns that look like both paintings and words; and a crystal valley paved with gems.

Everything about it made the two of them linger, their eyes widened like bells, they swallowed their saliva with gulps, their minds were blank, like fools.

The eyes, brain and heart are filled with the shock of the most luxurious art from the East.

However, at the edge of the Brilliant Valley, Zoe discovered something that was not on the Internet, a "mosquito net"?
There were five or six people standing scattered nearby, all dressed as noble ladies, glancing over there vaguely, as if expecting something.

Zoe became curious and slowly moved closer.

I found out that this was not a mosquito net, nor a tent. It was surrounded by gauze and had no roof.

In fact, this is a curtain, as in "The curtain flutters, the bright candles flicker; if you are not living here, what is the point of the curtain?"

Seeing the surrounding veil, Zoe's eyes widened again.

Its color is not white, nor is it red, yellow, or green, but rather blue like the sky after rain.

Although Zoe doesn't understand the saying "After the rain, the sky turns blue and the clouds break, this color will be the future." But their aesthetic tastes are common. Seeing this color, she feels as if she has become indifferent after the hustle and bustle, and her whole body becomes calm.

But this was not the only magic. What surprised her the most was that the gauze was extremely thin, almost transparent, yet it was not completely visible. Instead, it was like the morning mist that had not yet dissipated.

The light sprinkled down from the side, reflecting the gauze, and only cast a faint shadow on the ground, as if it was smoke blown away by the wind...

Zoe really wanted to touch it, to feel how silky and soft this cloud was.

But just as she was about to reach out, she hesitated. Zoe looked at her well-maintained hands and felt a sense of blasphemy. She was afraid that her hands would damage the gauze...

There were faint laughters coming from all around.

The ladies around her were not laughing at Zoe, but each of them had the same thought when they saw the veil for the first time.

This layer of gauze is called cicada's wing gauze. As thin as a cicada's wing is not a metaphor but a statement.

The thickness of cicada wings is about 0.1-0.35 mm, while the thickness of cicada wing yarn is only 0.052 mm, which is equivalent to one-sixth of a hair.

Chanticleer is the pinnacle of light and thin fabrics in ancient times. It was first discovered in the Mawangdui Han Tomb in 1972, as a plain gauze dress weighing only 48 grams.

The clothes in the Han Dynasty were not like those today, there were no short-sleeved vests.

It was a long robe with wide sleeves.

The organza used for curtains here is modern organza, which was not successfully reproduced until 2017.

In order to recreate cicada wing gauze, scientists started by breeding silkworms, which shows how difficult it is.

Even if the reproduction is successful, modern chiffon is generally only used to make works of art, such as the Han Dynasty clothing reproduced by the Palace Museum.

There's no other reason, it's expensive.

The curtain in front of Zoe took up a whole area of ​​48 square meters, which shows the luxury of the drunkard.

There is only one word to describe the effect - shocking.

The purpose of the curtains was just to mark out a piece of land. Through the smoke-like gauze, one could vaguely see that there were tables, chairs, and various furnishings inside the curtains.

A woman in yellow was sitting behind the table, grinding something carefully.

You can see figures, movements, and even the woman adding something to a grinder that looks like a small bowl.

But there was a layer of gauze between us and I couldn't see anything clearly.

It's really scratching one's head.
-
Zoe was hesitating whether to try to look a little longer or go somewhere else.

But the woman in yellow put down the small bowl in her hand and rubbed her wrist.

Then he raised his head and extended his hand to Zoe, "Madam, please come in and sit down."

A sentence in English with a slight accent came into Zoe's ears.

Zoe pointed at herself, and the woman in yellow nodded slightly.

Finally there is a reason to touch this veil.

This was the first thought in Zoe's mind.

Amidst a sigh of regret all around.

Zoe smiled back and reached out to push aside the tulle.

As soon as her fingers touched it, the gauze adhered to her skin gently like a living thing, yet it felt weightless. If it weren't for the delicate touch of her fingers, Zoe would have thought she was touching a layer of air.

As my fingers brushed across the gauze, it did not flutter gracefully like ordinary silk, but slowly dissipated into the air like evaporating water vapor, leaving only a faint green glow...

It feels so good, I want to touch it again.

Unfortunately, Zoe has already stepped into the tent.

The interior of the curtain was not very big. There was a low table on the side with a Chinese zither placed horizontally on the table.

Behind the piano table is a rosewood frame, divided into grids, filled with various small objects and things that are difficult to understand.

There was a table in the middle of the curtain, with two chairs behind it.

The small bowls and bamboo baskets on the table had been moved aside and replaced with a set of Chinese ceramic tea sets that were the same color as the curtains.

Behind it is a screen with Chinese paintings on it and a bronze goose-foot lamp on each side of the screen.

After scanning the exhibits, Zoe's eyes were focused on the woman in yellow and she couldn't move her eyes away.

The woman in yellow was an Oriental with a pretty face and long black hair tied into an exquisite bun with a gorgeous headdress on it.

Three gold ornaments with crystal tassels on the top were inserted diagonally into her hair, swaying gently with her movements.

She was wearing a gorgeous Chinese dress, probably of ancient style.

The skirt is yellow... no, it's flowing gold.

The texture is like silk... No, someone spun the entire marigold into a breathing cloud.

The edge of the dress was embroidered with a pattern I had never seen before: branches of flowers outlined by red silk thread meandered on a golden background, and the edges of the petals glowed with a mother-of-pearl-like rainbow...

Gorgeous and elegant.

But as I said, aesthetic tastes are the same. Zoe just thinks it’s so beautiful.

It seems to be within reach, but in fact it belongs to another distant civilization.

Seeing Zoe coming in, the woman in yellow stood up to greet her, smiling and pointing to the chair next to her, "Please sit down."

Zoe finally woke up from her dream, smiled and agreed, and replied in stiff Chinese, "Nihao..."
