Chapter 13: Slap your ex-wife in the face and apologize!
Shen Lang hadn't come out yet, but the purple silk dyed by the Xu family had already been placed on the table.
At this time, dozens of candles were lit throughout the hall, which were as bright as day.
Against the backdrop of countless candles, this purple silk is particularly eye-catching.
The Xu family's most outstanding dyeing craftsman bowed down and said, "Master, miss, this is our new purple dye." It's no longer a mixture of blue and red, it's extracted from a kind of comfrey, and we didn't put it on the market, but the dyeing effect is much better than before. β
The head of the Xu family, Lin Mo and the others all looked at the purple silk at the candle flame.
It's really much more vivid, and it's a qualitative leap from the previous purple dye.
Not only is the color purity much higher, but also more than one level of vividness, it is really an extremely excellent new purple dye, and the Xu family is going to make a windfall again.
The young prison officer took a closer look at the silk in his hand, and had to admit that this new purple color was indeed very good. Although he was not a nobleman, he was also from a famous family, especially preferring purple brocade, and was very appreciative of this aspect.
Xu Qianqian said: "Craftsman Xu, about the new golden dye, you can talk to a few adults. β
The best dyeing craftsman of the Xu family said: "Enlighten all the adults, the villain's family has been doing dye work for generations, and the villain has also loved to study since childhood. In particular, the yellow color is reserved for the monarch, so the villain put most of his energy into the yellow color and purple, I have experimented with hundreds of raw materials, and Huai rice is one of them, here is the villain's original record book as proof. β
With that, he handed in a booklet.
This young official in charge of the Xuanwu City Prison was one of several master books of the City Lord's Mansion.
He took it and looked through it, and it was densely packed with various tried recipes, including locust rice. And it's been a while since I've seen this handwriting, and it's not a fake.
"This Shen Lang used to be the uncle of the Xu family, but he was looked down upon because of his low intelligence, I don't know why, he actually came to my dyeing room to wander, and when I used acacia rice to do a new dye experiment, he saw it. This dyeing craftsman said.
He wasn't completely lying, he did experiment with yellow dye with locust rice, but he didn't know that adding alum to it to brighten it was the most critical step, and if it wasn't missing, of course. And because of the process, the color he refined with acacia rice was not outstanding, so his acacia rice recipe was a failure.
Shen Lang used to go to the dyeing room to wander around, and it was true that he liked to see these colorful things.
It is precisely based on the above reasons that the head of the Xu family and Xu Qianqian have absolute confidence that this golden dye formula was not researched by Shen Lang himself.
These two people really know Shen Lang's abilities too well, an imbecile, really a waste who doesn't know anything.
The head of the Xu family said: "My lords, at this time, the human and material evidence is there, so you can arrest people." β
Although he was talking about all the adults, his eyes were directly staring at the young master bookkeeper, if it weren't for this stunned young man, Shen Lang would have been arrested a long time ago.
The young official looked at the booklet, and then at the silk of the new purple dye in his hand, and couldn't help but nod his head.
"It seems that it is. He said lightly.
"Someone, go and catch Shen Lang inside. The head of the Xu family shouted.
Then, without waiting for the official to make a move, the warrior of the Xu family rushed in directly.
At this time, the door of the backyard was pushed open, and Shen Lang walked out.
The head of the Xu family said coldly: "Shen Lang, now that the human and material evidence are there, you are waiting to go to prison!"
Shen Lang suddenly looked at the young official, and the other party said lightly: "All the evidence points to you stealing." β
Shen Lang looked at the piece of purple silk on the table and couldn't help but be stunned.
Is this the Xu family's new purple dye? I don't know where Gao Ming has gone?
It's very pure, and it's very bright!
But......
Compared with the purple dye refined by Shen Lang with litmus, there is still a big gap.
The purple dye refined by comfrey is still too monotonous, and it is a little pale and has no aura.
Shen Lang suddenly smiled and said: "Xu Qianqian, the purple color of this piece of silk in front of you is indeed the highest level of your Xu family, right?
"Nope. Xu Qianqian said: "Shen Lang, unless the purple dye you make is better than mine, you are still a shameless thief, not only stealing the golden dye formula, but also stealing the new purple dye formula, it is really difficult to prevent thieves!"
Shen Lang didn't say a word, took out the purple silk he dyed and put it in front of everyone!
In an instant, the eyes of the Xu family master and Lin Mo suddenly lit up. The two of them first showed expressions of disbelief, and then extremely greedy eyes.
The most feared thing about anything is comparison.
I thought it was pretty good just by looking at the purple silk of the Xu family before, but at this time, compared with the purple silk dyed by Shen Lang, the gap was completely visible.
Although the silk dyed by the Xu family is already very purple, it is too thin and looks cheap and gaudy.
However, the purple dyed by Shen Lang's silk is deep and smart, and it is not at the same level at all.
There is no need for someone to decide whether you win or lose, you can judge it at a glance.
Shen Lang sneered: "Xu family master, Xu Qianqian, my new purple dye shouldn't be stealing your family again, right?"
The head of the Xu family and Xu Qianqian couldn't help but glance at each other, extremely surprised in their hearts.
What's going on?
Shen Lang has been in her house for a few months, she knows best, she has low intelligence, she doesn't learn anything, she is completely a waste, she doesn't understand anything.
The reason why I was able to come up with the formula of golden yellow dye before was entirely because I had seen countless experiments by Craftsman Xu, and I had extremely accidentally found that this kind of locust rice and alum were mixed together, and a bright yellow color would appear.
This kind of thing is very coincidental, but it is also normal.
Over the past few hundred years, I don't know how many new dye formulations have been discovered by accident.
Therefore, this competition should be a sure win.
Originally, the Xu family could directly use their connections and warriors to arrest Shen Lang in prison, but this young master was a stunned young man, and he actually stopped it, and insisted on giving Shen Lang a chance to defend himself. Of course, the Xu family is not afraid of a master book, but the other party is also from a famous family, and he is in charge of the prison, and today's events are the home of this master bookkeeper.
Therefore, the Xu family also had to give face, which gave Shen Lang the opportunity to compete, and Xu Qianqian knew Shen Lang too well and knew that he would never win.
Xu Qianqian's idea was originally right, but she didn't expect that the stupid Shen Lang before was dead, and the Shen Lang in front of her was the soul of an earthling who had crossed over.
Shen Lang sneered: "Could it be that the color of this piece of silk is not obvious enough?
Immediately after, he took out the killer feature, rainbow silk!
Under the countless candles as bright as day, this rainbow silk is beautiful and stunning.
Everyone gasped completely!
How is this possible?
It's so gorgeous, it's so aura.
Colorful, but without the slightest gaudy, the key color is so natural.
If the purple silk that Shen Lang took out before was a big victory, then this new rainbow dyed silk was completely crushed, setting off the purple silk of the Xu family in an unbearable and unsightly manner.
Shen Lang asked with a smile: "Master Xu, Xu Qianqian, my new dye recipe for rainbow silk was also stolen from the Xu family?"
There seemed to be a slap in the face in the air.
The head of the Xu family and Xu Qianqian looked at Shen Lang in surprise?
Are they missing something about this son-in-law?
He is so proficient in dye skills, why does Xu Qianqian not know at all?
This dye technique may not be of much use to other families, but it is too useful for the Xu family, and it can completely make the Xu family's business go to the next level.
In ancient times, silk was almost the same, and the key was dyeing.
Once the color skills are far superior to the competition, the silk and cloth business can be invincible.
originally thought that Shen Lang was a complete waste, but he didn't expect that he would have unique superb skills.
I never expected it!
Shen Lang said to the young official, "Lord Bookkeeper, please uphold justice. β
The young master bookkeeper glanced at the head of the Xu family and said, "Please confirm, is this purple dye and rainbow silk dye stolen by Shen Lang from the Xu family?"
Suddenly, the face of the head of the Xu family twitched.
This young master is really a stunned young man, when he left the City Lord's Mansion, didn't his Shangguan still hint at it obviously?
Xu Qianqian's fiancΓ© is the son of the county guard, don't you want a future if you offend the Zhang family?
The head of the Xu family glanced at the young master with resentment in his heart, and really had the idea of driving him away and resigning.
However, it also needs to be operated behind the scenes, at least the county keeper needs to do it, and on the surface, he can't be rude to a master bookkeeper as a businessman.
"No!" the head of the Xu family said coldly.
The young master bookkeeper looked at Xu Qianqian and said, "Miss Xu, what do you say?, did Shen Lang steal this purple dye and rainbow dye recipe from your house?"
Xu Qianqian's beautiful eyes shrank, and she could see that this young master was not only stunned, but he was hostile to the Xu family in his heart.
Did the Xu family have any holiday with him? Or did Zhang Jin have a holiday with him?
How dare this young bookkeeper go against the in-laws of the county keeper?
"It's not. Xu Qianqian said indifferently.
"Since it's not, then Shen Lang is wronged. The young master said: "The head of the Xu family, Miss Xu, the two of you apologize to Shen Lang!"
The head of the Xu family was about to explode suddenly, snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and left directly.
After Xu Qianqian's face changed a few times, she said to Shen Lang slightly: "I'm sorry, because of some misunderstandings before, I wronged you, farewell!"
Then, her graceful and graceful figure also departed.
She had already decided, and immediately let Zhang Jin take revenge on the young master book after she went back, and there would never be any officials hostile to the Xu family in Xuanwu City.
After Xu Qianqian leaves.
Shen Lang bowed to the young master bookkeeper and said, "Thank you, Lord Bookkeeper, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come here unharmed! Brother Tai has been doing well in recent years? Miss Jin from the Xuanwu Earl's Mansion is okay?"
