Chapter 390: Imperial Purple
Bai Tang didn't wait for her to catch her breath, and praised with a smile: "Miss Ashikaga's purple shirt is beautiful and precious!" Such a rich and gorgeous purple is rare in my Ming Dynasty. ”
Chinese purple dye, extracted only from comfrey roots. But the color of comfrey is nowhere near as bright and eye-catching. And such a rich and pure purple, because of the preciousness of its raw materials and the complex refining process, the clothing made has become a costly luxury, often enjoyed by emperors! Therefore, it is also known as: Imperial Purple!
Therefore, it is reasonable that Miss Ashikaga's purple cloth caused a sensation on Langfang Fourth Street.
Ashikaga suddenly became confident again: That's right. She's got a killer feature!
"It's good that Lian Gongzi recognizes this purple preciousness!" Miss Ashikaga saw the appearance of Baitang in her chest, and she became uneasy again! He even recognized the scale powder, in case-
I saw Bai Tang casually take out a few small conch from the cabinet, which Yan Zong specially selected beautiful and rare shells by the sea and sent them to him for viewing.
Miss Ashikaga's pretty face is almost unbearable! Damn it! Lian Baitang is a fairy?!
"Your country produces a purple bone snail." Bai Tang played with the little conch, "Its secretions will strangely turn purple after being exposed to the sun, and because the yield is very low, it will become a precious imperial purple dye after treatment." ”
Miss Ashikaga's face was pale, and her plump red lips were covered with tooth marks: "Lian Gongzi is well-read and well-read, and he is admired!" But even if you know the recipe for carmine and imperial purple, you can't make a thicker and better pigment than it, so this game, we are a draw! ”
Bai Tang is always very generous to beauties, and said with a smile: "Miss said that a draw is a draw!" ”
Ashikaga heard the teasing meaning in his tone, ashamed and annoyed!
She is in Kyoto, and she is a famous talented woman and a strange woman! Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are all proficient, riding and swordsmanship, no less than men! How many aristocratic teenagers have been chasing endlessly, and with their noble birth, they have never been so disgraced as they are today!
Since many years ago, Zhong Guimi sent Daming back to China, and praised Lian Baitang's great ability! It's almost omnipotent!
When Ashikaga heard this, he naturally had some admiration.
Who knew that it didn't take long for an outstanding Lian Bai Jin to come, and his name moved to Kyoto! But Zhong Guimi said that he was far worse than Bai Tang! After provoking Miss Ashikaga, she was very unconvinced: Lian Baitang is really so powerful? She's going to see it! This led to her trip to the Central Plains.
"Lian Gongzi! We'll see you again soon. Miss Ashikaga dragged the wooden shoes downstairs, quite a bit of defeat and escape, long lost the arrogance and ostentatiousness of the first arrival.
Takeda saw that her face was not good, and his heart jumped, and he followed her without speaking.
At this time, it happened that an extremely beautiful man came, and he passed by Ashikaga like the wind.
Ashikaga couldn't help but stop and look back. What a beautiful man! Prettier than all the men she had ever seen.
"Third master! How did you get here! ”
Xu San hurriedly said: "I heard that there are Dongying beauties looking for Baitang?" Where is she? What is she looking for Baitang? ”
Quan Hong laughed: I don't know which one notified the third master. The third master is also really, and the woman's vinegar is also eaten!
Ashikaga guessed that he was Xu Qiu'an. Secretly annoyed that his living beauty was in front of him, and he turned a blind eye!
Quan Hong pouted: "Isn't that it?" ”
Xu San's peach blossom eyes have a sparkling ecstasy effect, and Ashikaga jade face is red.
Ashikaga pretended to be dignified and gave Xu San a man's courtesy. Unexpectedly, Xu San fixed his eyes, pouted his lips, turned around and went upstairs. muttered in his mouth: "If you pretend to be a man, you have to apply grease and powder, it's better not to pretend!" ”
His white begonia is refreshing and refreshing, and he can't find the slightest smell of fat powder on his body!
Ashikaga opened his eyes when he heard this, and the anger in his heart rushed up! Xu Qiu'an was so rude! She glanced at the color prints in the shop, suppressed the unwillingness in her heart, and sneered: Lian Baitang, don't be complacent too early!
When Xu San entered the house, he saw Bai Tang standing in front of the window, looking at Ashikaga's figure, and his aunt was smiling.
"Miss Ashikaga is the daughter of Ashikaga Yoshimasa, the ruling general of Toei. This time, he went to Beijing with the delegation. "Xu San is in the Ministry of Rites, and these things are easy to do.
Bai Tang didn't know much about Japanese history, but his intuition told him that things were a bit strange these days.
"Miss Ashikaga is coming for me." Bai Tang couldn't hide his complacency in his tone. "How can a beautiful woman's heart be disappointed?"
Xu San snorted coldly: "Mind? It's clearly ill-intentioned! I have heard that as soon as the people of Dongying arrived in the Ming Dynasty, they searched for famous paintings and ancient books. ”
"Famous paintings?" Bai Tang thought of the previous ukiyo-e, and his charming heart was scattered, and a strong uneasiness came to his heart!
What the hell are these little Japan doing?
"Who is the leader of the Dongying Mission this time?"
"Your old friend."
"Mr. Girlfriend?" Bai Tang was suddenly dissatisfied, "When he returned to Dongying, he said in front of me that it was good to spend good rice and rice, but now he has revisited the old place, and he didn't even come to see me!" He paused, and his expression became solemn, "It can be seen that he has a weak heart and does not dare to come to see me!" Xu San, you told the people of Honglu Temple to stare at them more, I'm afraid they will make trouble! ”
Xu San responded.
"One more thing." Xu San asked suspiciously, "When I came, I found that your father's original study shop, Lixue Hall, was being renovated. ”
Bai Tang sighed!
After he returned to Nanjing, the shop was rented to other companies! Is this a complete sale of the shop, or is it another tenant? ”
Xu San said authentically: "I asked Fu Yin's people to check, and the shop was not resold." ”
Bai Tang was slightly uneasy: "That's about ...... It's a different owner. ”
Lian Shaorong is also wondering about this matter! He stood in front of his brother's shop, called a foreman who was directing the handling of wood, and asked, "This master, is this shop sold?" ”
The foreman laughed and said, "Yo! We're just in charge of renovating the shop. As for whether the shopkeeper sold it - I only know that the family had quit the rent. ”
Lian Shaorong asked again: "Then who is the current owner?" ”
The foreman smiled: "It's a very mysterious young man. ”
Lian Shaorong didn't ask why, and went back full of doubts. Only send people to keep an eye on this shop.
Not long after, the renovated shop reopened, and a brand new plaque was hung "Zhi Xianju"!
It is common for the shops on the fourth street of Langfang to advance and retreat, and the opening of Zhixian Ju did not attract much attention at first.
But after everyone walked around the shop, their expressions were subtle! The most brilliant object in this house is actually a variety of colorful things!
Songzhuzhai launched a variety of desk calendars, notebooks printed with beautiful patterns, stationery, everything! The most eye-catching thing is the shop's chic suits: intricately carved engravings and blank paper. It can be used for guests to go home and print unique colored paper! It really attracted a lot of elegant guests!
There are also guests who ask for drawings by name, tailor-made engravings, and they know that they should all be undertaken! With this, he made a reputation, and the business was actually very good!
When Bai Tang heard this, he was quite surprised: "I know how to live idlely!" This tailor-made color paper is unique! Who is the owner? ”
"I don't know. Zhi Xianju opened, except for the shopkeeper, I have not seen their owner. "Quan Hong came back from spying on the enemy, and he was a little nervous." In addition, some of his prints are a bit strange to me. ”
"What's weird?"
Quan Hong thought for a while: "I can't say it, it feels weird!" At a glance, he glanced at the ukiyo-e in Bai Tang's hand, "Why, it's a bit similar to the style of these paintings!" ”
Bai Tang was flustered, and a Japanese poem came to his mind: If you want to know the fun of leisure, come to find the secluded landscape.
Know idleness, know idleness. This study won't have anything to do with Dongying, right?
