Chapter 41: Silk (2)
After Qin Yu acquiesced, several maidservants began to get busy, opened the box, and one of them picked up a corner of the fabric and unfolded the whole piece of fabric.
A maidservant said, "This is the material used for the finished product. ”
Qin Yu first touched it with his hand, only to feel that the touch of this silk was smooth and soft. Then observe the embroidery on this silk, the embroidery flowers are fresh and moving, as if competing on this silk. This silk is really of the highest quality.
"Wan'er, come and see."
Lin Wan nodded and also approached to watch. At first glance, this is really not an extraordinary product, it is impeccable. Thinking of the 21st century, I have never seen such pure silk. They probably don't have to worry about the cost, as long as the people above nod their heads in satisfaction, they will be better. They are all doing things for the palace, and they take it for money, but occasionally they secretly sell some surplus or poor defective products to the palace to earn some pocket money, so they are satisfied. Although it is a big crime to sell goods in the palace privately, this amount is not large, and it gives a lot of benefits to the people in the upper class, so people will naturally turn a blind eye, anyway, they will benefit others and themselves.
Lin Wan thought that in the 21st century, businessmen would adulterate everything they did for their own interests, and they would have concerns about what they bought.
Then, another handmaid carried the finished product on her shoulders and held it high above her head, standing in front of Qin Yu like a human-shaped hanger. The finished product is relatively long, and if it is not raised, the skirt will be dragged to the ground and dirty.
Lin Wan began to look at the finished product again, although the workmanship was exquisite, it was not refreshing.
"It is indeed a rare good silk, Wan'er is really ashamed, but it is the first time she has seen such a good silk when she has lived so far." Lin Wan praised the raw materials, but attracted the white eyes of those maidservants.
The aunt had a thorn in her words, and said with a smile: "This is a silk specially for the royal family, how can a mortal have a vision?" If you say that you have seen better silk than this, then my aunt and I will find it strange. ”
Lin Wan heard the ridicule in this aunt's words, probably trying to persuade her, an ignorant little 'palace maid', not to pretend to know how to stir up troubled waters, their silk has been praised enough, and there is no shortage of praise from this little palace maid.
Qin Yu just wanted to speak, but heard Lin Wan's rebuttal again.
"Auntie, stop for the time being, I'm just praising the raw material of this silk is good silk, but I'm not praising the finished product." Lin Wan had a kind smile on her face, but what she said made everyone stunned. The kneeling maids were disdainful, and the aunt also looked down on her, only Qin Yu was a little curious, looking at her, wondering what she would say next.
Wan'er was embarrassed, she had never seen silk made of such pure materials, but she had never seen beautiful silk clothes. If you want to say that you have seen silk clothes, it is more meat than you have ever eaten. "That's not it, in today's society, what shopping malls, hawkers, and even Taobao, silk is full of tricks.
My aunt was amused by Lin Wan's words, she only felt that Lin Wan was praising Haikou and making a joke, "Oh? What is the opinion of the little palace maid? I listened to the old woman. ”
"How dare you say it's a high opinion, in front of my aunt, Wan'er is just an axe from the class." Lin Wan said modestly, paused and said: "Although this finished product is exquisite and flawless, the raw materials are real, but the style is very old-fashioned and tacky. Come to think of it, since the day your ancestors gave you the method, you have never thought of flexibility, have you always been conformist and immutable? As for why Lin Wan guessed this, it stemmed from Qin Yu's clothes that he saw earlier. The styles of each piece are the same, there is no novelty, and it makes people tired of looking at it.
The maidservants who heard Lin Wan's words all looked indignant, and they couldn't wait to get up and give Lin Wan a few mouths, they dared to insult the royal workshop and insult them like this! Old? Kitschy?
Only my aunt began to ponder, different from her previous attitude, my aunt nodded: "Little girl, what you said is right, we are indeed making silk according to our ancestors, and it is like this every year, and there is nothing new." ”
"If my aunt believes me, please give me three days, and after three days I will make a new drawing, and you can make a finished product according to it, and then ask the princess of the Western Regions if she can see it." Lin Wan was confident.
In the 21st century, in her small room, there is a corner with a large cardboard box, which is stacked with countless picture books she has used since she was a child and the fashion magazines she read when she grew up, and each picture album is her creativity...... Yes, that's what she's always dreamed of, fashion design......
Although she has no professional training, and fashion design is just a dream, it has not become her profession, but the effort she has spent on this design since she was a child is not in vain, and it is easy to draw a design in her mind.
My aunt was stunned, a little incredulous: "Do you really have a better idea?" ”
Lin Wan nodded: "Seriously." ”
The aunt changed her previous attitude, smiled slightly, and looked at Lin Wan's eyes with a hint of inquiry, but her tone was calm: "If the girl can really make a dress style that satisfies the eldest princess, the old woman must be grateful." There were still some things to take care of in the workshop, so the old woman took a leave of absence......"
The group bowed to Qin Yu and slowly retreated
