Outside the courtyard gate, Su Yu's soft and charming voice sounded.

"It's a coincidence that Brother Jiang is here. Could you please help me take these pastries to the kitchen and arrange them, and then let me make some sweet-scented osmanthus and jujube tea. I'll eat them later to relieve fatigue and digestion." Oh, by the way, ask Mrs. Zheng in the kitchen to put down more caramel, Third Sister Jiang likes sweets."

Jiang Qibin smiled and said: "I was basking in the sun in the yard, but it was almost noon, and the sun became more and more intense, making my face hurt from the sun. I thought about going to the most shaded porch in the front yard. Then take a nap.”

After that, he took the food box from Su Yu's hand and said, "Since my sister has work to do for me, I can't continue to be lazy."

He suddenly raised his voice and said, "Sister, please go in. Mr. He is talking to Miss Jiang San and the others."

The three people in the courtyard immediately fell silent. He Zhilin looked at the courtyard door warily and said to Jiang Xue: "We will discuss this later."

Jiang Xue nodded and said: "I will find a suitable place to talk later and send someone to deliver the letter then."

Jing Ye still drank the tea in the cup calmly and said slowly: "This tea is quite good. Mr. Yan is really thoughtful."

He Zhilin glared at him without revealing anything and said: "The humble house is simple and simple, and the tea and food are only simple meals. It's rare that the guests don't dislike it."

Su Yu walked into the yard, the warm sun shone on her green dress, and the hem of her dress shone faintly as she walked. Jiang Xue shouted that her sister was back, and immediately stood up and trotted over, pulling He took a closer look at her sleeves.

"Where did sister get this material?" Jiang Xue held the tail of her wide sleeve and looked at it with bright eyes.

"This," Su Yu burst out laughing and said, "It's the new weaving method that was developed by the Japanese side a few days ago, by Lady Rong in my 'Jinxiu' embroidery house."

She pulled Jiang Xue to sit on the stone bench in the courtyard, and nodded gently to He Zhilin and Jing Ye as a greeting, then turned back to continue talking to Jiang Xue.

"It was not a particularly precious satin material. It was just a kind of silk thread that Mrs. Rong found herself. She ground the pearls into powder and made it into pulp. Then she soaked the silk thread in it, washed it and dried it in the shade. Repeated eight times, the thread It seemed like there was a pearl light.”

"The material of this dress is actually made of such silk thread?" Jiang Xue asked, "Doesn't it cost a lot of silk thread? Is such silk thread easy to find?"

Su Yu shook his head and said: "Yes and no. I think this silk thread is too bright and dazzling, and I feel that if I weave clothes with it alone, it would be unassuming and unconventional. So the sisters in the embroidery building tied the gold thread into their clothes. The method is to mix this silk thread with other plain threads into eight strands to weave it, so that it can have this faint light, but it will not be too prosperous and will not be out of style."

"This silk thread is not a precious thing at first. It can even be said to be cheap. It is only because the density of the thread is just right that the pearl powder can be brought in. Speaking of which, the place of origin of this silk thread is still in Jiaodong, the hometown of Mr. Yan. Because Ordinary people who weave and embroider clothes will find this thread a bit rough and don't use it much, so no merchants in Hebei and Beijing have purchased this kind of silk thread for many years."

After saying that, Su Yu looked at He Zhilin with a smile.

He Zhilin only responded with a distant and polite smile.

"Jiaodong?" Jiang Xue asked curiously, "How could the lady in Xiulou find such an inconspicuous thing?"

"Ms. Rong is originally from Jiaodong," Su Yu said with a smile. "She came to Jijing not long ago. Her family is poor, her husband died of illness, and she has no relatives. She heard that there is an embroidery building in Jijing that can provide a way for women to make a living. Bumpy came to me. I accepted it when I saw how pitiful she was at first. Unexpectedly, her weaving skills were so superb and she could come up with so many new and trendy ways. You see, the piece I am wearing was knitted by her. work."

Jiang Xue suddenly became alert.

He was also from Jiaodong, and he happened to arrive in the capital shortly after He Zhilin entered the capital, and he happened to join the Jinxiu Xiu Building right after he arrived?

She shook her head, thinking that she was just talking about Jiaodong and was too nervous.

Hope it's just a coincidence.

The look of her frowning in thought fell into Jing Ye's eyes. Jing Ye listened to the conversation and looked at her in a daze, and unspeakable emotions passed through his heart.

He suddenly asked: "Ji is a traveling businessman who travels around the world, but he is very interested in novel goods. I have a heartfelt request, Madam, can you introduce me to this honored lady? See you Ji. This dress on the lady's body is really very strange. If you can take a look at how the fabric of this dress is woven, and whether the quantity is large or small, you may be able to go to Jiaodong and buy more raw materials to come to Jijing. It’s a big deal.”

Jiang Xue was a little confused when she heard this. He was a prince, what kind of silk thread was he trying to sell? Doesn't this deceptive statement make her and He Zhilin suspicious? What is he doing looking for these things?

Su Yu was slightly stunned, but He Zhilin immediately said: "Since you know it's an unkind invitation, why do you still have to say this, Mr. Ji? Su Yu runs an embroidery house and has a hundred people to feed, and they also made this cloth. Mr. Ji knows that this matter is a business opportunity, but he still has the audacity to get ahead of her. Mr. Ji can ask this, which really disappoints Yan. He thought that you were the elder of the Jiang family sister, but he didn’t want to speak out. It’s the words of a philistine trying to get his business under control.”

Jiang Xue almost spat out her tea, "Elder of the Jiang family sister", those words were poisonous.

She looked at Jing Ye worriedly, but his words were not as poisonous as his words.

It would be better not to cause any embarrassment in front of Su Yu.

However, Jing Ye was not angry, he just narrowed his eyes and smiled, with a teasing tone in his tone, and said: "It seems that Mr. Yan must have a close friendship with Madam Jade, and he can put himself in Madam Jade's shoes and consider everything for her." Ji Seeing that you two live in the same house, do you think something good is coming?"

He Zhilin couldn't hide the anger on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Master Ji, don't you know what it means to be cautious in your words and deeds? Su Yu and I are close friends, innocent and innocent, how can I, Master Ji, just want to ruin Su Yu's reputation with just one sentence?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yu's eyes flashed with an imperceptible loss, but he still looked at the two of them with a warm smile.

"When I saw Mr. Yan speaking so harshly, I thought -" Jing Ye smiled, "I was worried that Ji would offend your sweetheart."

Seeing that Jing Ye was going too far, Jiang Xue couldn't help but winked at him urgently, hoping that he would shut up. Seeing that he turned a blind eye, she could only grit her teeth, stretched out her foot, and gave him a hard kick under the table.

Jing Ye sneered, gave her a warning look, then turned to Su Yu and said, "Don't worry, madam, we are talking about business. I just want to see the silk reeling and weaving skills and the results of the products. If I really do If you are interested in this silk thread, you will never raise the price to get money. Although Ji is a businessman, he has read the Four Books and Five Classics and knows that a gentleman should do something and not do something."

"Don't worry, Mr. Ji," Su Yu said with a smile, "Mrs. Rong has been busy these days, so I'm afraid she won't be able to spare time. In the next few days, when she has less work to do, I'll introduce you two to get acquainted. It's a coincidence. The things she has been busy with these past few days have to do with a friend of the young master."

Jing Ye asked: "Friends?"

"I saw the young master at Wanbao Tower that day and he seemed to be very familiar with the owner of Jiyan Tower..." Seeing that he didn't respond, Su Yu asked doubtfully, "Isn't it possible that you two are not friends?"

Jing Ye nodded and said, "We can be considered business friends. I'm used to traveling all over the country, and Ji Yan likes to collect rare treasures from all over the world. Occasionally, he will ask me to bring something with him."

Su Yu smiled and nodded, and said: "Ji Yan, the poster, likes to collect these novel objects. When he saw the dress on me yesterday, it was like Bole seeing the thousand-mile horse. In the blink of an eye, he looked like I wanted Lady Rong to come over. . It is said that he asked her to weave some materials, and then he will find someone to cut out the latest fashion patterns so that they can be placed in the Wanbao Tower. It will definitely attract attention. "
