Jiang Xingzhou's identity can be regarded as a respectable one. Since that day, he came to Jinxiu Pavilion to see Yin Xiao more frequently. Sometimes he would give her some food and gadgets rewarded by the palace, and sometimes he would give her gifts for him. Bought some books.
They were all things that she would like in his memory.
On the seventh day of July, the Chinese Valentine's Day, the palace distributed boxing gifts to General Lang of the Northern and Southern Army's Yulin Camp.
There are rituals issued in the palace for festivals of all sizes. Originally, there were no rituals for festivals like Chinese Valentine's Day. However, it is said that His Majesty's favorite concubine Dong Guifei was considerate of her ministers and ordered the embroiderer in the palace to rush to make a batch of gauze skirts with novel patterns. , issued to the soldiers of Yulin Camp.
Naturally, it is not for these men to wear. The implication is to secretly urge them to find a husband, give the skirt to someone, and express their love. If there is no one to give it to, it can be used as a mascot at least, etc. If you have a sweetheart, give it away.
Naturally, it is a face-saving gift to give a royal gift from the palace to a girl.
Jiang Xingzhou carried the baggage containing the skirt and gave it to Yin Xiao.
Yin Xiao declined several times, but he still insisted on giving it to her. She thought about it and accepted it.
Clothes are something close to the body, so the implication of accepting clothes given to you by a man is self-evident.
Qing Fei, Bixiu Yunniang and other embroiderers all covered their mouths and snickered.
After Jiang Xingzhou left, they all gathered around and touched the embroidered dark patterns and fabric on the skirt enviously.
The skirt is embroidered with patterns of carps playing with lotuses and ocean waves, the waist band is embroidered with pictures of men and women outing and playing, and the neckline and cuffs of the skirt are embroidered with lotus and branch patterns. The whole skirt has many embroideries, which is very heavy work.
Several people praised that the things coming out of the palace were different. The fabrics had an unknown aroma, and they smelled noble and comfortable.
She had smelled this spice before, and Wei Cheng also had it, but he didn't like the fragrance because it was too strong.
The raw material of this incense is very precious. It is extracted from the "ambergris" salvaged from the sea. One or two prices are higher than gold.
After several people looked at it for a long time, they gradually realized that the workmanship and embroidery on this dress was not very good. Qing Fei compared the embroidery in the Jinxiu Pavilion with the flower and bird embroidery on this dress one by one, and discovered that the embroidery given by the palace was The embroidery skills on the clothes are average, and even the fingers and facial features of the villain in the picture of boys and girls having fun on an outing are very crudely embroidered.
The styles are all the skirt styles that have been fashionable in recent years, and the fabrics are not the best. They can't even keep up with the batch of dark floral gauze and Wu gauze that Yin Xiao brought back from Yangzhou.
Yin Xiao caressed the clothes and said nothing. In fact, the defeat of the imperial family can be traced. In the world, the things from the imperial family should be the best, but the workmanship of this dress is really rough. It can be seen that Either the embroidery bureau in the palace did not pay attention to the affairs of the Tian family, or the palace could not recruit skilled craftsmen.
She took Qing Fei, Bixiu and others to pattern the inside and outside of the dress, and re-cut it with the best dark flower gauze and Wu gauze in the store. She also studied the embroidery on the skirt several times. She redesigned the pattern herself.
Half a month later, a batch of new ready-made clothes arrived in Jinxiu Pavilion. It was said that they were the styles favored by the nobles in the palace.
Naturally, everyone in Chang'an City wanted to take a look at the style of the palace.
After the gimmick was released, many rich ladies, dignitaries and ladies from aristocratic families came here because of its reputation. Many luxury cars appeared in front of Jinxiu Pavilion, and women in brocade clothes came and went. Sales of Jinxiu Pavilion doubled again.
When Jiang Xingzhou heard this, he laughed and shook his head. He didn't know whether to be angry or laugh. The things he gave her were used as a way to make money, but he saw that she was enjoying it and was merciless in accepting the money, and he was happy for her.
After all, she was happy for once.
There were distinguished guests coming to pick up goods. The lady of this family had an unusual status. When she got off the carriage, there were special attendants who set up roadblocks to block the eyes of the idlers. Seeing that the middle-aged woman was of high status, Yin Xiao came out to greet her in person, while serving At the tea shop, he asked Qing Fei to present all the signboards in the shop to his wife for easy selection.
Until I heard the master and servant chatting, saying that they were members of the Situ Wang family.
The tea cup slipped in her hand, and the hot water splashed onto her hand. Her fingertips instantly hurt.
