Cao Shi was confused, he didn't think that this era was capable of producing something as magical as nylon.
It turns out that these stockings are not made of nylon at all, or they are purely woven from silk bit by bit.
It is not correct to call it stockings, it should be called stockings made of silk.
Needless to say, the manufacturing cost is absolutely staggering, and it is easy to wear out, but these shortcomings are not a problem at all for the aristocratic women who love beauty, and they are rich and capricious.
Liu Wan lifted the corner of her skirt to reveal over-the-knee stockings, and said proudly: "Does the gentleman like it?" β
Black stockings, to the touch is silky silky and soft, the material is selected from the best dark silk woven for stockings and then dyed into black, the stockings are pure black from the inside to the outside, the Han people such as the Qin people are still black, just in line with the aesthetic taste of the Han family, of course, also in line with the aesthetic taste of Cao Shi.
Stockings are still black as the top quality, Cao Shi has said to his wife Liu Wan more than once in recent years, the classical royal princess with black stockings used to be the perfect combination of Cao Shi's obscenity.
Close your eyes and imagine that the royal noblewoman, the golden branch and jade leaf, the princess of Emperor Ji, and the princess of Pingyang, wearing a knee-length skirt and revealing beautiful black stockings, slowly walked towards him, and that beautiful fantasy almost never dissipated.
Until this moment, he suddenly felt that he had seen a lot of differences. He admits that there are many smart people in the Western Han Dynasty, but he never believes that two stupid girls who get along with him can make the legendary black stockings.
Cao Shi was dumbfounded. In the past, when he was having fun in the boudoir, he casually mentioned the stockings, and he didn't take it to heart.
Who would have thought that it would really be figured out by two little women.
Recalling that last year, the two pestered him to ask questions, breaking the casserole and asking to find out the principle and effect of stockings, it turned out to be premeditated.
The current husband was very surprised, the corners of the two little women's mouths pulled a good-looking arc, their husband's temperament is the clearest, and on the surface it seems that there is no way to be kind and kind. In fact, he is an extremely conceited person in his bones, and he will never stop talking about looking down on people. It's a deep disdain hidden in their hearts, and with their knowledge, they really haven't seen many people who are not despised.
In fact, the process of weaving silk stockings is not simple, Liu Wan and Wei Junru in order to realize the type of silk materials, the warp and weft weaving process improvement can be described as painstaking. After all, stockings are different from silk underwear, which should be tightly wrapped around the legs and cannot be dropped, and there are higher requirements for tightness and elasticity.
The whole process took nearly two years, probably from Cao Shi to Pingyang Houfu, Wei Junru became Liu Wan's deputy when he began to study, the raw silk sent by the villages under the Hou Mansion became the best training material, and it was wasted that I don't know how much raw silk was used to make a new weaving technology exclusively. This is a linen-like arrangement of warp and weft, but with some new changes to enhance the elasticity and tightness of the stockings.
Several raw silk blends are used. Rather than simply a mulberry raw silk spinning, is another unique technology of this kind of stockings, without the correct blending formula and ratio can not be copied at all, unless you get Liu Wan and Wei Junru's personal fingers, otherwise it is impossible to weave perfect stockings for a female red excellent tailor.
Even if it is forcibly knitted, it will only be an elongated sock. Worn on the feet like a cloth bag lacking elasticity from the foot cover to the leg, it also needs to be tied with a rope at the top of the hock. It can not reflect the slim characteristics of stockings, but it is ugly like a monster, and with unique skills in their hands, the two of them will be so confident.
The two little women lifted their long skirts to show their husbands, and their red faces were smeared into fiery clouds on the horizon, such a shameful action that only dared to be done in the boudoir.
"What is surprising about stockings, weaving silk is not difficult for the two of us, and knitting stockings is not difficult! The concubine is wearing black stockings on her feet, and the gentleman's sister is wearing red stockings on her feet, does the gentleman like it or not? Liu Wan's face was red and proud, as if to say that you should praise me, praise me quickly, and praise something nice.
"I like it, how can I not like it! You two are really my god of good luck and wealth! Cao Shi put his arms around the shoulders of the two of them, and kissed them fiercely on the cheek despite their coquettishness.
"I just want to say, daughter-in-law, you are such a!" Cao Shi seemed to see a way to make a lot of money, a golden avenue paved with stockings.
In the spring of February, the residents of Guanzhong have taken off their heavy long shirts and put on fresh and fashionable clothes, and when they see fashionable long skirts on the street, they don't need to ask if they must be made by the Pingyang Hou Mansion.
Princess Liu Wan's garment business is getting bigger and bigger, from the beginning hesitant to invest 2 million money to test the waters, to the first batch of trendy clothing by the market, immediately increase investment in the expansion of the garment workshop.
Liu Wan, who didn't know how to do business, smashed 200 million yuan into it ruthlessly, and began to weave her dream of a garment empire from the 3,000 women in Chang'an City who were good at cutting edges.
Cao Shi is very unfamiliar with the field of garment-making, but fortunately, he has been fortunate to have seen the whole process of clothing design for many years, and used his brushes and colorful paints to paint a new Hanfu that combines classical and modern aesthetics.
Yes, that's a brand new style of hanfu.
As long as you have seen the dress of the ancient ladies, you can make a new Hanfu that is seven or eight points similar to the cat and the tiger, not to mention the time-travelers who have been influenced by the tide of the information age, Cao Shi almost effortlessly designed many new Hanfu styles.
The Han costume is the same as the crown dress of the Great Qin Empire, and the casual wear is only slightly different in the similarity, and the crown dress of the Great Qin Empire and the Great Zhou Dynasty is the same, and the gap between the casual clothes is a little bigger, and the evolution of clothing and buns is similar, as long as it conforms to the contemporary aesthetics and wears the new style.
New clothing is on sale, and the popular Cheng dΓΉ among women instantly covers up the hottest topic of bankruptcy of wealthy businessmen, and in the eyes of women, children's education is the most important, and beautiful clothes are also very important, after all, men rely on martial arts to conquer the world. Women conquer men by their appearance, and women are those who please themselves.
"Have you heard of that? Pingyang Houfu has a new product! β
"What's new? Didn't you just come out with a mosquito repellent perfume a few days ago? What's going on here? β
"I heard that there are soft and silky stockings."
"Stockings. What's that? β
"I can't explain it clearly, anyway, don't talk nonsense, just know if you've been with me."
All the men, women and children in Chang'an City know that the Pingyang Hou Mansion married a good daughter-in-law, and the dignified son of heaven and the daughter of the golden branches and jade leaves, even gave up the beautiful enjoyment of the brocade clothes and jade food in the Hou Mansion, and rode the four-horse carriage every day between the garment workshop outside the city and the Dongshi store, which person in Chang'an City did not exaggerate the virtuous and virtuous lady of Emperor Gao Zongjing.
Compared with. A certain Tang Muyi is the eldest princess surnamed Liu who is the pavilion Tao, and she is so arrogant and lascivious that she is just lascivious. also brought noodles to swagger through the market in Chang'an City, which is really a bit unacceptable.
The princess of the pavilion Tao listened to all the qiΔ in her ears, and a pair of Danfeng eyes rolled and tried not to spray, with her noble honor and favor, how could she be compared to the little Princess Yangxin. The last time she had a conflict with her niece Liu Wan, she let out cruel words, as long as she was alive for a day, Liu Wan didn't want to be the eldest princess, and she didn't even dream about it.
The aunt and niece quarreled, and with such rude words as a big bully, Liu Wan almost collapsed at that time, which is the real reason why Liu Wan cried and returned to the Pingyang Hou Mansion and accidentally quarreled with her husband about the Cold War.
Cao Shi still doesn't know the specific details. The rumors from the palace only mentioned that there was a violent dispute and conflict between the two sides, Liu Wan always gritted her teeth and insisted that she did not expose the truth of that scene, she was unwilling to let her husband and aunt Liu Yan, who were so angry that they were out of control, tear their faces. Having such a conflict meant having to choose between her loved ones and her loved ones, and she didn't want to do that, she was scared.
Liu Wan is a soft and dignified princess on the surface, but she is a playful and cute little girl in private, Cao Shi has always felt that his wife is a stupid woman who lacks heart, and she only knows how to send a sister to the emperor's younger brother. As a result, she was busy for decades and did not get the title of the eldest princess, but was married twice by that unscrupulous brother. When she was old and frail, she was given the title of eldest princess.
But who would have thought that this stupid woman who lacked heart and eyes still hid her heart, and struggled to maintain a stable relationship between the liehou group on the side of her husband and the imperial power on the side of her parents and younger brothers.
The men were unaware of Liu Wan's small movements, even the shrewd and keen Cao Shi and the eloquent Liu Che thought that it was boring for the women to get together and quarrel.
But as a woman, the princess Liu Yan will not turn a blind eye, she is arrogant and domineering like the Shaofu Cao Shi in a woman, and even more than that, but she is not stupid and dull, but has a sense of smell like a wolfdog.
Liu's face is covered with a thick layer of powder to cover up the wrinkles and freckles left by the erosion of time, and by October this year, she will be 50 years old, and she is a standard old woman in the contemporary era, according to the rules, she can be compared to her husband Chen Wu's surname and called Chen Yuan.
But how can she serve the old, she still has to enjoy the glory and wealth, and she has to raise a male pet to continue to enjoy happiness, she can't live a boring life in advance according to her mind.
The corners of the princess's mouth twitched slightly, and she snorted: "To make such a big move without saying a word, the old lady underestimated your little girl, it's really a great good means and good intentions!" β
At this moment, there was not the slightest warmth of aunt and niece in her eyes, only hostility, disgust, hatred, and deep jealousy.
Threatened to obstruct her niece from being crowned the eldest princess, this has to be a vicious and ruthless woman to do, and the chief princess of the pavilion, Liu Yan, can really do it, anyway, her younger brother Emperor Gao Zongjing has ascended to heaven and become a god, and those nieces are like that in her eyes, nodding happily and laughing a few words, unhappy and not even interested in taking care of it.
Liu Concubine inherited the fine bloodline of her mother Dou Yifang, a cold-blooded and ruthless woman will not be merciful for the slightest student relationship, just like when Dou Yifang personally poisoned the four sons-in-law of Emperor Wen of Han, as long as it is a stumbling block in front of her, she will not hesitate to kick it away, only Liu Wan can't.
The identity of the eldest daughter of the Son of Heaven is not strong enough, and what really makes her jealous is the identity of Cao Shi's wife.
The Pingyang Marquis Mansion seems to be hidden in layers of disgust, except for the few families in the inner circle of the meritorious princes. Ordinary meritorious liehous, including Tangyi Marquis Chen Wu, and his cousin Enzehou don't even want to enter that circle, let alone grasp the confidential affairs of some of the liehou's core family. It's even more outrageous than daydreaming.
Cao Shi, this kid is scheming and ruthless, in order to get rid of the conservative forces that obstruct the implementation of the currency reform, he did not hesitate to invite the tiger talisman of the Son of Heaven to call the northern army to suppress it, and he was bold and ambitious and did not play cards according to the routine, and the princess of the pavilion Tao did not dare to guarantee that she would poison Liu Wan with a dead hand, and whether she would be wiped out by Cao Shi with soldiers and horses.
On the street, the eldest daughters and younger daughters-in-law walked out in groups. I went straight to the garment shop in Higashi City, where there was a long queue to buy stockings.
Concubine Liu snorted coldly again: "Uncle Yuan." What do you think? β
"I think it's not appropriate to fall out with Pingyang Hou for the time being." Uncle Yuan is an ordinary-looking man in his thirties, like an old servant with no status among several male favorites, and only those who know the inside story know that Uncle Yuan is the confidant and think tank of the princess of the pavilion Tao.
Liu Yan's eyes were vicious, and she said viciously: "Even you said that you can't make a fuss." Am I really not going to have a chance to let out this bad breath? β
"The eldest princess listened, she only said it temporarily, but she didn't say forever."
"What do you mean by that?"
Uncle Yuan said with a smile: "You alone can't deal with Pingyang Hou, and it is impossible to unite Zhu Dou, only by pulling the three princes and Jiuqing into the chariot can there be a play." β
"How is this possible! The Three Princes and the Nine Princes and the Marquis of Pingyang have always worn a pair of pants, and they will not board our Dou family's chariot. "Concubine Liu is not stupid, if the three princes and Jiuqing are so easy to fiddle, if they didn't surrender to her father Emperor Taizongwen decades ago, why should they be forced to demote Jia Yi. At the end, he didn't dare to recall the Jingshi lightly.
Meritorious princes are a group of untamed wolves, and the only person in the whole world who can make them succumb to their whole body and mind is Emperor Taizu Gao, and other than that. Generations of emperors did not have the ability to suppress those meritorious princes, and could only use power and deceit to coerce and oppress them.
The little emperor Liu Che was coaxed by Cao Shi to be happy all day long, and it was better to expect the Son of Heaven to deal with the lie immediately than to expect the sow to go up to the tree, and to count on the three princes and nine Qing to deal with Cao Shi against the water, which was ten times more outrageous than counting on the sow to go up the tree.
Uncle Yuan said sinisterly: "There may not have been the slightest chance before, but now the situation in the DPRK and China is different. The common brilliance of the three princes and nine kings was monopolized by the Shaofu for seven points, and Prime Minister Wei Juan had no prestige and influence. The three princes and nine kings accompanied the Son of Heaven and the Shaofu as attendants and housekeepers, they simply looked down on their ability to govern the country and insulted the self-esteem of the three princes and nine secretaries, they had long been dissatisfied with the Marquis of Pingyang, as long as the queen mother gave a statement, she would be busy jumping out, and when the time comes, they will fight us to see a big drama, wouldn't it be happy? β
"Well said! That's great! I'll do what you do! Liu Yan moved the corners of her mouth excitedly, the folds on her face crisscrossed her, and the white powder cream fell down, and her face became more and more weird and hideous.
There was a long queue outside the Pingyang Garment Shop in Dongshi.
The eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law gave up their reserve and crowded into the long line, watching the continuous flow of people in the store, and seeing the women coming out with bright stockings, their eyes were almost red with envy.
A fat woman came out with stockings in her hand and proudly boasted, "Look! What beautiful red stockings, if I wore them, I would surely kill my husband. β
The women were envious and jealous, and waited until the fat woman was gone, and then whispered.
"Humph! Look at how thick your waist is, and you are not afraid of breaking your stockings when you are dead under your two elephant legs. β
"The old lady wears stockings and sells off. Not like a good person. β
"The stockings are also showing off, so shameless!"
In the backyard of Pingyang Clothing Workshop, dozens of aristocratic women gathered around the rows of hangers.
Most of the ladies are in their twenties and thirties, and they are in the rare prime of youth, and the women love beauty as a matter of course, rubbing mosquito repellent perfume on their bodies, wearing beautiful stockings on their feet, and a set of new-style Hanfu to make them a fashionable woman.
Under the leadership of a few ladies who are not willing to be lonely, the small circle of fashion-seeking slowly appeared in the Hou Mansion of Chang'an City, these noble ladies from military merit are not touched by the spring water, and they are born without knowing firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, except for serving their husbands, they are only left to enjoy life.
The main theme of their life is enjoyment, how to better enjoy the wonderful life, watch the song and dance, listen to the rhetoric, dance the wind and lament the spring and autumn, in addition to the various restrictions caused by the times, what they do is the same as thousands of years later.
Mrs. Xu of the Qinghe Hou family is one of the initiators of the small circle, she has a good relationship with Liu Wan, and walked in with a few sturdy mothers-in-law, and pointed to the beautiful clothes hanging on several rows of hangers.
"Wrap me up here, here, and here."
Xia Yu, who was in charge, covered her mouth and said, "Mrs. Xu wants to cover it all?" These racks of clothes are worth 600,000 dollars. β
"A mere 600,000 dollars is just a small matter! My family has earned hundreds of millions of dollars thanks to the care of Pingyang Hou, and has made hundreds of millions of dollars from lending, and we have to be willful when we have money in hand, and we will continue to look at new goods, do you have any new styles of stockings? β
Xia Yu covered her mouth and secretly said that being rich is capricious, and she hurriedly followed up and introduced: "There are several new colors newly produced, you can take a look." β
Mrs. Qinghe Marquis nodded, she held her thick waist with a smug face, and the ladies passing by greeted her one after another.
"Mrs. Xu, I haven't gained a lot of weight in many days, hey, Mrs. Xu is pregnant?"
"It can't really be Huaiyin, right? It's a great event. β
"Look at this body, ouch! It's really a happy pulse, I see if this belly is round or pointed, huh? Looks like a boy! β
Mrs. Xu held her belly with a smug face, like a very proud little hen that laid eggs for the first time. (To be continued)
