"My friend is a maritime merchant, this water silkworm brocade is he got from an overseas country, it is said to be a kind of silkworm spit in the water weaving, extremely rare, he does not have a few horses in total, the one that gave me is still transferred to me at a high price for our friendship."

"In this way, if your friend goes to sea next time, can you ask him to bring back more silkworm brocade?" Lin Yuzhu looked at Xue Wu with blank eyes.

Several others chimed in.

Xue Wan smiled: "Even if you don't say that I will too, the clothes made of water silkworm brocade are very light and breathable, and they are very comfortable to wear, and I want to make a few more." ”

Ye Fu leaned over: "Sister Xiaoxian, can I touch it?" ”

"What's wrong with that?" Xue Wan generously handed over her sleeve.

Ye Fu touched it carefully, with a surprised expression, "It's really, it's very silky, like water." ”

The girls in the pavilion came over one by one and touched Xue Wu...... The hem of the clothes, and then showed a dreamy expression.

At this time, there was a sudden low cry of gasping outside the pavilion, and Xue Wu subconsciously turned her head to look.

A beautiful woman wearing a red gold-sprinkled chest skirt walked in, about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed quite brightly and magnificently, with a large area of snow-white skin exposed on her chest, and her dressing style can be described as very bold, quite similar to the style of ladies in the Tang Dynasty.

However, although the atmosphere of Daqi is open, it is still inferior to the Tang Dynasty, and basically no woman dares to walk on the street wearing such a "revealing" dress.

In Xue Wan's opinion, this skirt is far from being exposed, but in the eyes of others, it is not like that.

Don't you see that when the woman walked, everyone's eyes didn't know where to put them?

A few little girls beside her covered their eyes, but they secretly peeked out from between their fingers.

That woman was Zhang Ying, who had dressed up as Xue Wu on the night of the Qixi Festival and tried to get close to Pei Lian, whose father Zhang Shun was the governor of the whole state and was in charge of the affairs of a state.

As the capital of the whole state, the county government of Fengchi County, as well as the government of the whole state government, are all located in Fengchi County.

Therefore, the mansion of Zhang Tingshi's family is also in this Fengchi County.

Although the Ye family is the outer family of the five princes, they are only imperial merchants, and there is no one in the clan, or no one occupies a high position in the court, simply put, that is, the political power is insufficient.

And Zhang Tingshi is the governor of a state, a member of the fourth rank of the central government, for Mrs. Ye's birthday banquet, if he was there in person, it would be too solemn, so he only let his daughter come to the banquet with a birthday gift.

As the daughter of the assassin history, Zhang Ying is the most powerful noble girl in the entire Fengchi County and even in the whole state, Cai Ling, the daughter of the former county commander, is just a local chicken jumping up and down compared to her.

Previously, Cai Ling wanted to break into Zhang Ying's circle, but unfortunately, Zhang Ying didn't bother to play with her at all, thinking that her status was too low and lowered her level.

Even in Fengchi County, Zhang Ying didn't look at it, she felt that only the imperial capital in the whole world was the real noble place, and the rest of the places were just the countryside.

So she was active in the capital before, and after her mother died, she was taken to live in a foreign home in the capital, and this stay was several years, during which she only came back occasionally.

This time, in addition to coming back to accompany her father for the Mid-Autumn Festival, she had another important matter.

Zhang Ying went to Qinghuan Pavilion to greet the old lady, and when she bowed and bent over, more skin appeared on her chest, and before she could do it herself, the old lady was dizzy, "Hurry up." ”

When Zhang Ying's people entered the door, they had already handed over their hands to the porter, so they just came over to routinely ask the old lady, the elder, at this time.

After sitting and talking to the old lady for a while, she left.

As soon as she left, all the ladies in the cabinet whispered.

"This girl is too immoral, half of her chest is exposed, she just came from the front yard, isn't she all looked at?"

"I heard that she used to live in the capital, is it possible that the dressing style of those noble ladies in the capital is like this?"

"That's not necessarily, my sister married in the capital, and I received a letter from her a few days ago, and I didn't say that the fashion in the capital has become like this."

……

Zhang Ying didn't pay attention to the discussions behind her, hum, a group of turtles nesting in a small place, what do they know?

Even the concubine in the palace wears it like this, is there anything wrong with her wearing it like this?

The concubine has always been the leader of the fashion, and the objects of imitation by the ladies and ladies in Beijing will definitely set off a trend of full-breasted skirts in Beijing in a few days.

When it reaches Fengchi, won't these people scramble to imitate it?

So, what qualifications do they have to say anything about her, someone who is at the forefront of fashion?

Zhang Ying, with an inexplicable sense of superiority that everyone was drunk and I was sober, generously met the eyes cast from all directions, walked to a position and sat down, pinched a flower in her hand, and played with it casually.

In a short time, the feast officially began, and everyone took their seats in turn.

Ye Fu, as the main family, took Xue Wu and the others to a round table, and eight chairs were placed on the side of the round table, that is, eight people sat at a table.

Xue Yu's table was full of young girls, and on her right hand was Ye Fu, Lin Yuzhu originally wanted to sit down next to her, but at this time, a voice sounded: "Miss Zhao, don't you mind if I sit next to you?" ”

It was Zhang Ying.

She didn't really ask Xue Wu for her opinion, so she sat down without waiting for her to answer. Lin Yuzhu stomped her feet angrily and simply sat on the other side.

Xue Ying glanced at Zhang Ying, just now Ye Fu had already given her the identity of the daughter of the assassin in the pavilion.

"Miss Zhang recognizes me?"

Zhang Ying propped up on the table with one hand, and looked at her sideways with the other, "Miss Zhao, who holds chili peppers and many recipes in her hands, and then took out the saltpeter ice making method, and now has opened a snack shop that is making money every day, how can I not know it?" ”

It seems that this Zhang Ying has also checked her, but since she dares to take out these things, she is naturally not afraid of people to check them, after all, Zhao Xiaoxian's identity is just a shell, and she can give it up at any time if necessary.

Xue Wan smiled, "It seems that Miss Zhang knows me very well. ”

At this time, the maid began to serve the food.

First of all, there are four cold dishes: honey ham, crispy ginkgo, soft crispy crucian carp, and shredded mushrooms

Four hot plates: candied abalone, shrimp in tomato sauce, chicken cakes, chicken fat mushrooms

Eight dishes: braised shark fin, mutton soup and deer tendon, hemp seed pigeon eggs, duck powder pine, steamed sea bass, boiling water cabbage, shredded yam, chicken slices and hibiscus soup

Then there is the noodle dish: barbecued pork suckling pig (served with shortbread and lotus leaves)

Four dishes: diced pork with chili pepper, roasted cabbage sum with duck egg yolk, shredded pork with fish flavor, steamed egg with shrimp

Finally, there are snacks and fruits after meals.

This birthday banquet was organized by the eldest lady and her daughter-in-law Qin, and after drawing up the menu, she also sent it to Xue Wu to take a look at it, wanting to ask her if she had any opinions.
