Chapter 73 Embroidery Silk(2/2)

Chu Yu snorted coldly, moved away from Shui Yao's poisonous monster, and said, "I'll take it back first to show you to Manager Nian Da. Shui Yao, go and follow that father-in-law and see where he lives?"

Shui Yao shook his small handkerchief and gave her a delicate look: "You can tell the weak family if you smell a stinky salted fish!"

But he flew neatly towards the direction where the old man disappeared.

Chu Yu raised his hand and pulled it to follow Huo Erniang, and said angrily: "You have to send me back. Don't forget your master when you see sex. A little sissy will scare you. I forgot that someone would blow your lady into broken fish foam a few days ago."

Huo Erniang smiled and patted Chu Yu on the shoulder with a beautiful smile: "Oh, where do you say something about the lady? Although Jin Yao's ever-clear and coquettish beauty is rare, it is definitely the most important thing in our hearts."

If the lady dies, they will be done with her. Of course, the lady is important!

Chu Yu was silent for a while: "That was Shui Yao just now, and he was not changeable either. He was always sissy..."

Huo Erniang grabbed his big breast in confusion, looking confused: "Oh, is that right? I always felt that his peach blossom eyes were cold and seductive."

Chu Yu: "...Your face blindness is gone."

If Shui Yao knew that Huo Erniang had always regarded him and Jin Yao as one person, he would probably have been able to stab Huo Erniang into a human stick.

Qinjia Embroidery Shop

"This thread..." Manager Nian Da saw the pack of embroidered silk, his originally calm expression changed suddenly, and he grabbed Chu Yu's hand excitedly: "Where did this embroidered silk come from?"

Chu Yu was stunned, but he was a little surprised. The manager was not an ignorant woman this year. She traveled around the world and was knowledgeable. Why was she so excited? Could it be that there was something strange about this embroidered silk?

She told Manager Nian that she had met Mr. Wu near Hokkien Lake.

The more the manager Nian Da heard her say, the more complicated his expression was: "It was a coincidence that the old man Wu whom Miss Chu met was a strange man and a famous embroidery master who was once glorious."

It turned out that Wu Laoer was called Wu Yong when he was young, and he was also very charming when he was young. Before the Wu family in Jiangnan was the leader of the embroidery show in Jiangnan.

The Wu family has a unique dyeing technique. The embroidered silk dyed with this dyeing technique is not only bright and bright in color, but also has clear colors, and even simple white can dye more than ten colors.

"In addition to embroidery, the most important thing for silk is dyeing. Embroidered silk is easier to fade than cotton and linen. If you don't pay attention to washing, it will fade after washing a few water and then drying it. No matter how good the embroidery is, it will not show good. However, the embroidery silk dyed by the Wu family is very firm and extremely resistant to washing and sunlight." Manager Nian Da sighed.

Although Chu Yu couldn't afford to wear silk in this life, he had worn it in his previous life. He knew that this silk was afraid of washing and sunlight, and it was indeed easy to wrinkle and fade. The price was not low in that era when productivity exploded, so it was not easy to sell.

Manager Nian Da said again: "The Wu family's embroidery skills were not unique, but they were favored by Jiangnan weaving with this unique skill of dyeing embroidery silk, and became imperial merchants. The empresses in the palace liked to wear what they offered, and the Tiangong Embroidery Workshop was also a plaque given by the late emperor."

"What happened later? I saw that the father-in-law was very poor." Chu Yu held his cheek and asked thoughtfully as he looked at the silk threads.

Since it is a good thing, it is indeed very helpful for her to win the competition.

Manager Nian nodded with a look of emotion: "The world is so impermanent. The embroidery items offered by Mr. Wu were used by the Queen as the Queen for the Grand Sacrifice. However, somehow, I was suddenly wet by rain one day before the Grand Sacrifice, and it faded into a mess, even the Queen's phoenix robe was dyed."

Nian Daguan paused: "In the end, it was found that Wu Laoer secretly greedy for ink and gave the goods as inferior. The Empress was furious. The Wu family was defeated and the family was confiscated and investigated. He was exiled for three thousand miles. The Wu family completely declined from then on. This Wu Laoer was also the new emperor ascended the throne and was able to return to his hometown."

Chu Yu was stunned, then sneered: "What are the best things to do? I think no matter how brave the Wu family is, they dare not tamper with the imperial objects, they are afraid they have offended someone."

Manager Nian Da nodded and smiled meaningfully: "How can this imperial merchant be easy to do? Besides, the Wu family's unique dyeing technique is unparalleled in the world. Many people are willing to lose their money after Wu Laoer comes back, but he would rather be broken and die without a burial place than hand over this technique. He just said that he doesn't remember anything, but it makes people unable to take him."

After saying that, she looked at the brilliant embroidered silk, then looked at Chu Yu, and smiled with emotion: "I haven't seen this embroidered silk for many years, and I didn't expect that Miss Chu would have such an opportunity."

When Chu Yu heard this, he was stunned, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Yes, what about the opportunity."

She didn't say much, but just changed the subject and said to the manager Nian Da: "Since you have such good embroidery silk, I want you to set a embroidery room for me to renovate it, I wonder if it's possible?"

Manager Nian Da was stunned and then said in embarrassment: "Although Aunt Jin said that we should cooperate with each other and what materials you want to allocate, we have no objection to the embroidery room, but we cannot move. We must complete the last batch of imperial offerings this year..."

She paused and smiled and said, "Although Aunt Jin has spoken, we will naturally have to cooperate, but I would like to ask Miss Chu not to make things difficult for us. This cannot keep up with the construction period of the imperial offerings. The unlucky ones are still the people under us..."

Chu Yu raised his hand and smiled faintly: "You need to say nothing, I know that I will not complain to Aunt Jin."

After saying that, she stood up, said nothing more, turned around and left with her sleeves.

Manager Nian Da looked at her back, shook his head and smiled helplessly and gently: "Young man, he is so arrogant, and I don't know why Aunt Jin trusts a little girl so much."

...

The old lady who served tea looked at the Nian Da Manager: "A few days will be the final competition with the Xiangnan Gong family. If you reject her like this, if she blames you for the failure in the future, Aunt Jin will not be able to explain it."

Manager Nian Da only smiled: "She has been so chaotic these days, and I have been helping her to calm the emotions of the embroidery workshop. Now she has no discussion with me and wants to change the embroidery workshop. Her hand is too long. How can I conquer the people in the housing workshop in the future?"

"But..." The old lady wanted to persuade her, but the Nian Daguan only tasted a sip of tea and said lightly: "I believe Aunt Jin will not be so confused. Do you think our Qinjia can only count on such a little girl?"

...

When Chu Yu came out, he saw a white shadow standing flutteringly at the end of the corridor not far away.

She was slightly stunned, but she didn't expect the "cat" to come out by herself.

As soon as he saw Chu Yu come out, he just looked at her coldly, turned around and was about to leave.

Chu Yu rushed over and chased a corridor before catching up. She quickly reached out and grabbed his arm and said helplessly: "Why, are you still angry?"

"Go away." Qin Sheng only glanced at her indifferently. The cold light in the amber eyes made Chu Yu feel a little weak.

"I know, Bai Bai was very obedient a few days ago. It's because I'm not good, so don't be upset." She leaned over with shamelessness, took out a pack of snacks from her arms, and opened them anxiously.

"You see, this is the building milk cake you bought for Baibai. It is freshly baked and it is so delicious."

Qin Sheng lowered his cold eyes, looked for a moment, and raised his hand as if he wanted to take Chu Yu's pastry.

Chu Yu felt relieved and was about to hand it over for him with a smile, but he didn't want to...
