"Identifying incense candles? Can Mr. Tian recognize the incense candles he made? How is this possible? Ordinarily illuminated incense candles have no patterns at all, and they all look the same."
"It is indeed impossible to tell from the appearance. Even if the wax oil is mixed with spices, the color usually does not change. However, Tian is very smart. In order to distinguish the candles customized by the guests, each batch of candles she makes has a mark, that is In the cotton thread in the lower half of the candle wick, there is a small piece of tissue paper, with the date of ordering and the name of the orderer written on it... When the candle burns to that point, it will be burned together with the wax oil, and the candle will not be treated. There was no impact, so Guo Qian’s crime was exposed.”
Everyone sighed after hearing this.
Gongsun Tian said: "This Mr. Tian is indeed very smart, but what is the connection between what my sister-in-law said and the mulberry silk matter?"
"The second thing I want to say is about the mulberry silk from Cuijin Tower."
Li Qingyi turned around and looked at Mrs. Lin intentionally or unintentionally.
Mrs. Lin must have believed that she could not prove that the mulberry silk from Cuijinlou was innocent.
Then she is wrong!
Lin received Li Qingyi's gaze and tightened her palms.
Li Qingyi said with a smile: "Cuijinlou's mulberry silk has always only used first-grade silk. As we all know, first-grade mulberry silk has excellent luster and soft and smooth feel. The second-grade mulberry silk has a worse feel and gloss, but the difference can only be made by experts." It can be seen that it is easy for ordinary customers to admit mistakes. A few days ago, two customers came to Cuijinlou. They bought a first-class mulberry silk from the shop, but later they came to return the second-class mulberry silk, saying that Cuijinlou By passing off a second-rate product as a first-rate product and selling it as a first-rate product, Cuijinlou cannot prove it, so it loses a fortune."
When everyone heard this, their first reaction was that there was such a person!
The second reaction is, why did Li Qingyi bring these two things up? Could it be that Cuijinlou learned his lesson and thought of a way to mark his own mulberry silk?
Lin is such a smart person. While everyone was guessing, she had already understood what Li Qingyi meant.
"So, can you tell the difference between the mulberry silk in Cuijinlou?"
Li Qingyi bent his eyes.
When Guo Qian wanted to harm his adoptive mother, he asked his wet nurse to order poisonous candles at the incense and candle shop. After being exposed, Guo Qian wanted to deny it, but the proprietress of the incense and candle shop took out the tissue paper with his name on it from the candle wick. The case was solved.
Qin Zeng later told Li Qingyi what happened.
At that time, Ruan was distressed because there was a customer who wanted to exchange goods with fake goods, so Li Qingyi told her this method.
Ruan learned from one example and quickly came up with the idea of adding green silver silk to his own mulberry silk as the mark of Cuijinlou mulberry silk.
Biyin silk was originally used to imitate Biyin yarn.
The green silver gauze is clear and ethereal, and the skirt made is as airy as a fairy. It is very popular among women. It is a unique skill of the Ruan family dyeing workshop.
"My second aunt asked people to cut the green silver silk into small pieces and mix it into the mulberry silk. In this way, people who want to take advantage of Cuijinlou by returning defective products will have no way. That's fine It is easy to mix the light green silver silk into the mulberry silk, but it is even more difficult to pick it out. Even if someone is really willing to take the trouble to pick out the green silver silk, the mulberry silk will definitely become a mess. .”
Gongsun Nan sighed: "I have seen green silver yarn, which will have colorful light under the sun. It is very beautiful. I think that although the green silver yarn is mixed with mulberry silk, as long as it is exposed to the light, it will emit light different from that of mulberry silk. The same luster! My sister-in-law’s second aunt is so smart!”
At this stall, Heng Wu walked in holding some mulberry silk.
Li Qingyi asked her to stand in the light, and sure enough, there were sporadic and different lights shining in the mulberry silk as white as snow.
Gongsun Nan exclaimed, "There really is Biyinsha!"
Lin Mi also came forward to take a look, "Hey, the mulberry silk that the guy from Cuijinlou showed to me seemed to have this kind of light flashing through it, but I thought it was my imagination."
Li Qingyi said: "Mixing the green silver silk into the mulberry silk will not affect the effectiveness of the mulberry silk, so if the guests don't ask, Cuijin Tower will not mention the green silver silk."
Lin Mi nodded, then was startled, "But the mulberry silk in my cloak doesn't seem to have green silver silk! So, the mulberry silk I bought at Cuijinlou was tampered with?!"
Mrs. Lin looked on coldly, "It's possible that you had someone prepare ordinary mulberry silk in advance!"
At first, everyone was still enjoying the fact that Li Qingyi was "not the culprit". When they heard this, they were immediately splashed with cold water.
At the same time, he was also stunned by Lin's sharp tone.
Upon seeing this, Mrs. Lin quickly calmed down and said, "I'm afraid that there are loopholes in what you said, and you will be held accountable later."
Li Qingyi stared at her deeply, then asked Lin Mi: "Miss Lin, did you plan to buy mulberry silk that day, or was it a sudden idea?"
Lin Mi said: "I just wanted to make a cloak for autumn, and I didn't plan to buy cotton batting or mulberry silk. But after I arrived at Cuijin Tower, I saw that Cuijin Tower had already hung up clothes for autumn. I just thought of adding some mulberry silk to the old lady’s cloak. Mulberry silk is light and warm and can be worn until late autumn.”
"So, you didn't tell anyone about your intention to buy mulberry silk. In other words, it's impossible for anyone to prepare mulberry silk with bugs in it in advance."
Lin Mi nodded, "Indeed."
After everyone heard this, they all showed relaxed expressions.
Gongsun Tian smiled and said: "I just said, it can't be done by my sister-in-law!"
Li Qingyi looked at Mrs. Lin, "Princess, do you still think I did it?"
Mrs. Lin glanced at the old woman, suppressed the anxiety in her heart, and said with a smile: "Yi'er is joking. I have never doubted you. It's just that as the mistress of the house, I naturally have to act impartially. Don't blame me."
Li Qingyi looked at her, "How could that be?"
If Princess Zhenbei did nothing, with the other party's caution, it would be difficult for her to reveal her hypocritical face in front of the old lady, but once the other party started to act, she only needed to find the other party's flaws!
"Princess, this mulberry silk must have been stolen by someone after Miss Lin returned to the palace. I don't know who is so bold."
The two looked at each other for a moment, then Mrs. Lin pursed her lips and shouted in a loud voice: "Come here, call all the girls in Mi'er's yard."
"Wait a moment."
Lin Mi glanced at Ziqian next to Lin, "Grandma's suspicion has been cleared, but my suspicion is still there. Even if you all believe me, I still can't feel at ease without tangible proof. And I can be sure That’s right, there must be something wrong with Zi Lian!”
Zi Yan quickly raised her head to look at her, then lowered her eyes and bit her lips and said, "What did I do wrong? Miss Lin pursued me so closely and framed me..."
