The old lady is reborn

After hearing this, Tian Anran's face looked even worse. Rong Ruozhi saw this and walked to Song Ying and whispered, "That's enough. I brought Anran here. I saw that she looked unwell. I'm afraid she's not feeling well. I'll take her away first.

You don't have to show here how bad her fabric is. It should have been a happy thing, but you had to make it like this.

Do you want to show off yourself in front of His Majesty?"

Song Ying looked at Rong Ruozhi and said slowly, "So you brought Tian Anran here to show these two fabrics to His Majesty, because Tian Anran especially wanted to show herself in front of His Majesty?

If the title of imperial merchant is used to give such cloth to such a person, which may harm other girls in the future, and the Nan'an Marquis' Mansion is involved in it, does the Marquis think it is a good thing or a bad thing?

What I did today was just to avoid being brought to the Marquis' Mansion in the future.

Lord, Tian Anran knows the flaws of these two pieces of cloth very well. Did she tell you when she asked you to bring her to the Winter Banquet?"

After saying that, he ignored Rong Ruozhi, picked up the "Nian Cheng Hui" with chopsticks and threw it into the brazier again, then smiled at Tian Anran and said, "In fact, Madam He also knew about this, so when she took the cloth just now, Madam He used chopsticks to pick it up."

The piece of cloth in the brazier was still flickering like before, but there was no open flame. After burning for a long time, circles of ash would fall off.

At this time, Song Ying picked up the cloth with chopsticks and covered it on a wooden stool. Everyone saw only smoke rising. After a while, Song Ying picked up the cloth with chopsticks and moved it away. They saw that the painted stool was covered with burnt marks, which were obviously caused by the hot cloth.

Song Ying said: "If you really think that this fabric is impervious to water and fire, then if there is a fire, the person wearing it will be in big trouble.

This fabric is inlaid with a large amount of metal wire, and the craftsmanship used is the same as the wire winding and embroidery in our jewelry, but it is used on the fabric.

The reason why there is no open flame is that metal wires are much more difficult to burn than ordinary paper and cloth, but after burning, they are as hot as a branding iron.

If ordinary cloth caught fire, people could roll on the ground or use dirt or water to put out the fire. But if you were wearing such clothes and encountered a fire, it would be like wearing a net woven with iron wire. It would be difficult to save yourself or others, and your whole body would probably be burned and your skin and flesh would rot.

Seeing that His Majesty looked unhappy, the Sixth Princess suddenly asked, "How did Madam Rong know this?"

Song Ying said: "On the way to the Winter Banquet, I met the anxious silk shop owner He. His wife ignored his advice and insisted on bringing the two pieces of cloth to see the emperor in order to gain the title of imperial merchant.

Ke He, the shopkeeper, was an honest man and would not dare to hide the truth like his wife did, deceiving the emperor.

He was worried that his wife would get into trouble and would not be able to recover in the future, so he told me about this and asked me to report the matter to His Majesty at the Winter Banquet in order to remedy the situation.

I took Manager He to the teahouse under the palace porch. He should still be waiting there.

If your Majesty, your Majesty, or the Princess have anything to ask, you can summon them."

For a while, one could hear a pin drop at the Winter Banquet. The crime of deceiving the emperor was no small matter, and everyone was waiting for His Majesty to give the order to see how the matter would be handled.

Some people also thought: Tian Anran is really stupid. It would be fine if he didn't know that the fabric has such a defect.

Since he knew about it, he dared to brag about it and concealed it. If something happened in the future, would He's Silk Shop and Tian Anran be able to escape? What was he thinking?

Song Ying, who had experienced the previous life, knew that Tian Anran had taken the title of royal merchant today, and the fabric had become famous in Kyoto before it was officially released.

Five days later, Tian Anran would take the initiative to confess his crime, saying that the defect of the cloth had just been discovered and therefore it could not be sold. He would ask the royal family to deprive him of his title of royal merchant, but at the same time he would present two exquisite cloths.

In this way, firstly, the defect was just discovered and it was not sold yet, so no consequences were caused; secondly, he admitted his guilt with an open mind; and thirdly, the two new fabrics were indeed exquisite and gorgeous.

It would not be a good idea to grant the title of imperial merchant today and take it away tomorrow, so Tian Anran took the risk and won. Not only did he get the title of imperial merchant, but he also gained a reputation for being magnanimous, brave and kind, and gained both fame and fortune in Kyoto.

I don't even know why. It was clearly at Rong Ruozhi's request that Song Ying spoke up for Tian Anran in front of His Majesty, but in the end Rong Ruozhi said to Song Ying in a sarcastic tone: "Anran said she still wants to thank you.

They made such a big mistake, and the fabric had such a big problem, but His Majesty didn't blame them in the end. Tian Anran said that it was all because you helped her speak up in front of His Majesty, and now His Majesty probably didn't want to implicate you and hurt your face, so he saved them."

Song Ying recalled it and thought: With such a deliberate and scheming opponent, whether I help or not, Tian Anran will always find a way to set a trap for me and make Rong Ruzhi hate him.

Then I heard His Majesty say, "This winter banquet is hosted by the Queen. I am just here to have a drink. Let the Queen decide on this matter."

The Queen was silent for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty came here to give me face, but this happened. It is my fault.

The uninvited guests at this banquet dared to deceive and seek a title, so I have to ask for an explanation for the winter banquet I hosted."

So he ordered: "Drag this Madam He away and give her forty strokes of the cane."

Rong Ruozhi was originally distracted by Song Ying's question "Did she tell you the truth?", but now that he heard the Queen's order to punish Tian Anran with forty strokes of the cane, he wanted to ask for mercy.

He was also afraid that as Song Ying said, disaster would come to the Nan'an Marquis' Mansion, because the uninvited guest that the Queen mentioned was actually brought by himself.

After hesitating, he said to Song Ying, "Your Majesty has always given you some face. Please plead for An Ran. After forty strokes of the cane, won't the man be half dead?"

Song Ying thought: Even if I plead for her, I'm afraid she will set a trap for me, so he said: "I don't have the courage and face to ask for this favor, which is a crime of deceiving the emperor."

What I was thinking was that she had dug out my eyes, destroyed my face, and chopped off my limbs, and now I was only beating her forty times, which was just a small repayment.

Thinking of this, he decided to add icing on the cake for Tian Anran, add fuel to the fire, and work harder.
