incense as a medium

Chapter 154 Color Embroidery Workshop

Qi Peiyun was about to nod, when the door was suddenly pushed open, he turned his head to look, and saw the startled and angry eyes of the young servant of the Sun family.

Sun Chengqian waved his hand to let the boy go down, and looked at Duke Lu's son with displeasure: "Brother Lu, what are you doing?"

The son of the Duke of Lu sat down on the other side of Sun Chengqian without looking sideways, and said with a smile, "Didn't I come over to have a meal when I heard that Brother Sun eats here?"

Liu Bailu's reaction was extremely fast, she turned around as early as when she heard the sound of the door opening, and while they were talking, she took out a handkerchief and wrapped it around her face, and said in a low voice to Qi Peiyun: "I Go back first."

"Okay." Qi Peiyun, who dared to spy on his own woman, didn't think he liked him at all. This son of Duke Lu's purpose was obvious, and he was not far from his wife being admired here.

Liu Bailu hugged Le Ru and lifted Le Yan off the stool, nodded to Sun Chengqian, turned and left.

The Duke of Lu couldn't pretend any longer, and hurriedly said: "Miss Liu, uh, Mrs. Qi, wait a minute, let's have dinner together."

"Eat yours!" Sun Chengqian grabbed a pig's trotter and stuffed it into the mouth of Duke Lu.

Qi Peiyun raised his wine glass, showed his white teeth, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen Brother Lu for many years, I miss you so much, today we won't go home until we're drunk."

"If you don't get drunk, you won't go home!" Sun Chengqian secretly replaced the small wine glass with a big one. The pig's trotters in Duke Lu's mouth had just been taken out, and the wine glass was handed to his mouth, and he drank it all at once.

Qi Peiyun put down the wine glass that was only on his lips, and said: "In the past few years, I have met a few good brothers. Let me introduce you to the prince, and we will take care of each other in the capital in the future."

"Ahem..." Duke Lu's son was choked up and coughed, and he finally caught his breath and stared at Qi Peiyun and said, "I haven't seen you for so many years, didn't you see me the year before last?"

"Then you didn't drink, didn't you?" Qi Peiyun looked at Zhang Ting and others who pushed the door and smiled very happily. He got up and pulled Zhang Ting to his place, and said, "Come on, Zhang Ting, I Let me tell you, this son of the Duke of Lu is a good wine man, and someone who understands wine, you should enjoy the wine."

Zhang Ting looks like a frail scholar, but he has the best drinking capacity among them, so it can be said that he is a rare match in the world.

Liu Bailu walked out of the private room, and the guilt-ridden young servant of the Sun family came up to him and asked courteously, "Where is Mrs. Qi going? Our son came here in a carriage. If Mrs. Qi doesn't mind it, how about taking a carriage for a stroll?" ?”

Liu Bailu pondered for a moment, glanced at Le Yan who was full of interest, then looked at Le Ru who was also full of expectation and nodded: "Please lead the way."

"This is a small honor." The little servant led the way in front of him in a joyful manner.

The carriage was in the backyard of the Fusheng Building, Liu Bailu took a look at it, the dark green carriage was unpretentious, and looking at the carriage, the interior was extremely comfortable and elegant, this kind of thought is really not like that of a man.

"Do you still want to eat?" Liu Bailu asked the two children.

"Don't eat." Le Yan shook her head.

Le Ru's appetite has always been small, and Le Yan is almost full, so she will not be hungry anymore.

Liu Bailu patted Le Yan's head and said loudly, "Go to the Color Thread Workshop."

The chariots and horses rattled and stopped until they reached the backyard of Caixiufang.

Liu Bailu woke up Le Yan and Le Ru, who were already asleep, and got out of the car after they were more awake.

As soon as Liu Bailu appeared, the shopkeeper of Caixianfang greeted him, and said with a smile on his face: "Hey, this is Miss Liu? I haven't seen her more beautiful for many years? This is Qianyuan, right? She looks really handsome. This time I'm back." won't you leave?"

Liu Bailu said with a smile: "My husband's family name is Qi. I just arrived in Beijing today, so I came to have a look."

"That's a good relationship. I don't know what Mrs. Qi needs?" The shopkeeper is a young and beautiful woman, but she changed her words very quickly: "In the past few years, our silk threads have been improved in terms of color, toughness, and durability. It's top-notch, and Mrs. Qi was moved when she saw it."

Caixianfang mainly deals in silk threads, and there are some other silks and satins, but they are all high-quality goods and are of high value.

Liu Bailu smiled and said, "I'm afraid I can't afford it anymore, but now I'm very poor."

The shopkeeper's smile remained unchanged, and he was still so friendly and friendly: "Mrs. Qi's arrival is a living sign. I will forgive you some later, and it will be the same if you send it back to me after a year or so."

Caixianfang is a hundred-year-old brand, and because it specializes in women's business, it uses women just like Rougefang and other places.

Liu Bailu smiled and said, "I appreciate your kindness."

This was a polite refusal, and the shopkeeper didn't care, and welcomed him in with a smile on his face, and went directly to the Accord on the second floor from the backyard.

There are multiple rooms on the second floor, which are specially used to entertain the wealthy family members. The four rooms, A, B, C, and D, are also divided into grades. Among the first-class silk threads on the second floor, the A-size room is the best and the most expensive, and the T-size room is the least expensive. Cheap, of course, this time is also relatively speaking, even the lowest-grade silk thread on the first floor of Caixianfang is incomparable to those outside.

"Madam, let's go to Room A to have a look first?" the shopkeeper asked with a smile.

Liu Bailu put Le Ru on the ground, rubbed her sore arms, and said, "That's fine," she told the two children, "Don't run around or touch them."

"Yes." Le Yan stuck out her tongue and agreed with a smile.

Liu Bailu followed the shopkeeper into the Class A room. In the shade of the room is a row of treasure pavilions, on which silk threads of various colors are displayed. Now the sun is shining outside, and the room is full of light. Those silk threads are shining brightly. Liu Bailu can't look away. .

The shopkeeper went to the window, pointed to an embroidery frame and said, "This embroidery has been standing here for more than a month. Madame, can you see the color of this silk thread?"

Liu Bailu walked to the window, and the embroidery seemed to come alive against the brightly colored silk thread. The embroidery of this embroidery was uneven, with dozens of different stitches interspersed in it. She knew it was colored thread According to the practice of the shop, there is an embroidery picture in each room, and the shopkeeper embroiders the first flower. After that, every time a guest comes, he will ask the guest to embroider a flower or a leaf or two. Liu Bailu watched I can't help itching my hands, but I feel that the children are here, and I can't do embroidery by myself. If Leyan gets mischievous and breaks something, it will be troublesome.

The shopkeeper brought a stack of boxes and laid them out on the table in front of the window: "This is blue silk thread. Madam, do you like it?"

As the box was opened, Liu Bailu felt more and more that his eyes were not enough. In the past, there were only six threads of one color and six different shades in the colorful thread workshop. Now these colors have reached twelve!

Four big boxes and [-] small boxes were opened one by one. Those silk threads lined up looked like one color at a glance, but the difference between the first color and the last color was so big!
Seeing Liu Bailu's liking, the shopkeeper said with a smile: "Our master has spent a lot of effort in researching these colors, and now such a uniform color can only be picked out of a hundred, and the workshop is responsible for picking silk threads. Ladies should take a break after a while, otherwise they won't be able to distinguish the colors."

This is also the case that the shades of the two adjacent colors are too similar. It is okay for a day or two, but after a long time, it is really called being blinded.

This silk thread is extremely expensive, Liu Bailu knew that he couldn't afford it now, but couldn't help asking: "How do you sell this silk thread?"

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "The old rule is, ten pieces of silk thread for a handful, and five taels of silver for a handful."

"It's too expensive..." Liu Bailu couldn't help moaning. There are twelve colors in one color, and the seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple are subdivided into 84 colors, and it costs more than 84 taels of silver to buy all 400 colors!This still doesn't include the black series and all kinds of heavy-color silk threads such as black, blue, black, purple and so on. If they are all counted, they will not be able to get it without a thousand taels of silver!

The shopkeeper pursed his lips and smiled, put away the boxes one by one, and went to get another kind of silk thread.

After Liu Bailu looked at all the silk threads, she really wished she could buy one of each, that is, the black and red color, and Caixiufang can subdivide six colors of different shades, especially that The last one is light gray with a touch of red. If it is embroidered into a pattern of falling flowers, the flowers that have fallen into mud can be embroidered with this kind of black and red silk thread, which will be more beautiful than before when various colors are mixed together.

Le Ru looked at Liu Bailu, pulled Le Yan who was looking around and whispered a few words, Le Yan ran up to hug Liu Bailu's leg and said: "Mother embroiders."

Liu Bailu smiled at the shopkeeper embarrassedly, and asked with a straight face, "Then, are you running around?"

"Let's watch mother embroider." Le Ru said with a smile.

"So cute." Liu Bailu praised, leaned over and kissed Le Ru and Le Yan on the face, then turned to look at the shopkeeper: "I'll embroider two stitches."

"I'll go get ready." The shopkeeper nodded with a smile, put away the silk thread and turned to go out.

Liu Bailu took Le Yan Leru's hand, walked to the embroidery frame and sat down, took the two children on his knees and pointed out the stitches on it one by one.

Le Yan couldn't listen, and after a while, her eyes became straight.

Le Ru, on the other hand, listened very carefully and followed Liu Bailu's retelling with a small mouth.

Not long after, the shopkeeper came in with a little girl holding a basin of acacia veil.

Liu Bailu put down Le Ru Le Yan and got up to clean her hands. The shopkeeper on the other side prepared the silk thread for embroidery. Liu Bailu picked up a strand of darker black and red thread and divided it into four strands, and then picked out four more. Black and red are divided into five strands, six strands, seven strands and eight strands according to the depth of the color.

The original color became lighter after it was separated. After the willow egret threaded the needle and dropped the needle in a piece of soil, a withered petal gradually took shape. This is embroidered on the place embroidered by others. The uneven silk thread passed through, and the thin silk thread was not broken. When you hook your fingers, you can feel the toughness in it.
