Chapter 10 Attacking the Mind
The light blue background glows in the daylight, and although it has not yet been painted or embroidered, it still looks exquisite.
Even Ning Yunxuan, who is from modern times, feels that such ice silk is rare, no wonder Cheng Mengxi will work hard to get it and want to please the one in the palace.
After thinking about it for a while, Ning Yunyu had already set the general shape of the clothes in his heart, and began to let people start preparing fuel.
The dyes used in this era are basically flower juice, the color is fresh, and it is far more environmentally friendly than modern industrial dyes. It's just that the dyeing technique is not like modern high-tech.
Thinking of the dyeing technique, Ning Yun's eyes turned cold, and the corners of his lips were dyed with a sneer, since he had done so much painstaking work, how could he only get back such a little return?
Looking at the dye that had been adjusted in the courtyard, Ning Yunyu opened his mouth and said to the people: "Masters, everyone must know the preciousness of this silkworm ice silk, not to mention that this silkworm ice silk is to be made into a ready-to-wear garment for the current queen, so naturally we can't slack off." ”
As soon as Ning Yunyu's words fell, he heard a voice sounded: "Concubine Ning is right, but this day silkworm ice silk is really rare, if it is really accidentally dyed, I am afraid that we will not be able to bear this responsibility." ”
The person who spoke was named Zhang Qiong, although he kept claiming to be the side princess, but there was no respect between the words, but with a sense of ridicule, mocking Ning Yunyu's embarrassing situation in the workshop as a side concubine.
Ning Yunyu's gaze fell on the speaker, and a trace of coldness flashed in the depths of his eyes, this person was Cheng Mengxi's henchman who stayed here, and it seemed that he was some distant cousin.
Everyone thought that Ning Yunyu would be dissatisfied when she heard this, but they saw that she always had a faint smile on her face, and even, when she heard Zhang Qiong speak, the smile was even deeper.
The corners of Ning Yun's lips were slightly hooked, as if he had never heard the mockery in his words, and his words were calm: "What Master Zhang said is indeed reasonable. Although the silkworm ice silk is a high-quality material, it is really not easy to color, if it is messed up, I am afraid that we can't afford it. But I do have an idea. ”
Zhang Qiong glanced at the corners of his mouth disdainfully, and said: "Could it be that the princess, the woman in the boudoir, not only knows how to manage accounts, but also knows how to dye cloth?" ”
Ning Yunyu lowered her eyes, hiding the sneer that flashed in her eyes. raised his eyes, and there was a smile in his eyes: "Master Zhang said that he laughed, I just think that no matter how difficult it is, it just needs to work harder." Since the silkworm ice silk is not easy to color this day, then we will use twice the time of ordinary cloth to color, twice as long, and then use four times, after all, we are the ready-to-wear made for the current queen, how can we be lazy? ”
Hearing Ning Yunyu say this, Zhang Qiong's mouth opened, but he still didn't say anything.
Ning Yunyu smiled when she saw this: "You don't have to worry about coloring, but the only thing that worries about this slow-coloring Heavenly Silkworm Ice Silk is uneven coloring." If you follow the usual method, I'm afraid it won't work. ”
As soon as Ning Yunyu's words fell, he saw some of the masters who dyed the cloth nodding their heads.
"I don't know what the princess has to say?" Zhang Qiong asked with a smile, his eyes full of provocative looks.
Ning Yunyu's expression remained unchanged, his eyes fell on Zhang Qiong, and he said with a faint smile: "The only way, I'm afraid, is to find a capable master who has been stirring the Heavenly Silkworm Ice Silk in the dye vat beside him." ”
Saying that, Ning Yunxuan paused, and looked at Zhang Qiong fixedly, until Zhang Qiong's expression changed, Ning Yunxuan slowly continued: "Since Master Zhang is so worried about this Heavenly Silkworm Ice Silk, and his skills are superb, presumably if Master Zhang comes, there must be no problem, right?" ”
Zhang Qiong looked at Ning Yunxuan, with a look of resentment in his eyes, this woman said this in front of so many people, if he didn't agree, then wouldn't it be his to say it. Although he was unwilling, he hesitated again and again, and Zhang Qiong had to agree.
Seeing Zhang Qiong nodding, a calculating light flashed in Ning Yunyu's eyes.
In the Qingmeng Pavilion of King Rui's Mansion, Cheng Mengxue threw the teacup on the table to the ground, and her originally delicate face was full of anger at the moment, which added a bit of horror to her originally good face.
"Ning Yunyu, that slut, actually wanted to go back to the palace, and wanted the prince to pick her up in a sedan chair, I really don't know what to do." Cheng Mengxi scolded with a hideous face, now as long as she thought of Ning Yunyu's arrogant appearance today, she was angry.
Seeing this, Lan Xue hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Princess, Ning Yunxuan, that slut must be just talking, how can there be a woman in the boudoir who knows how to dye cloth and tailor."
Now that she has spoken, the princess might as well see how she can make this ready-to-wear garment. If the system is not good, it is a crime of deception. If it was really made for her, as long as the princess felt that the dress was not good, how could it be considered good? ”
After listening to Lan Xue's words, Cheng Mengxi's eyes lit up, indeed, she had never heard that the daughter of the prime minister of the dynasty could dye cloth and make clothes, where would ordinary women learn this.
It's just that thinking of Ning Yunyu's confident appearance in her words today, Cheng Mengxi still can't let go of her heart, she definitely can't let this woman return to Rui Wangfu.
After thinking about it carefully, Cheng Mengxue beckoned to Lan Xue and said, "You go to the dyeing workshop now to find Zhang Qiong and ask him to do something, you must not let Ning Yunxuan's slut make ready-to-wear clothes within seven days." Saying that, Cheng Mengxue paused, and hurriedly added: "You only need to delay the time, and you must not destroy the Silkworm Ice Silk." “
Lan Xue nodded in response and walked out.
After Ning Yunxuan gave Zhang Qiong full authority to dye the Heavenly Silkworm Ice Silk, he worked with the others. However, Gillian carefully reminded Ning Yunyu during the period that Zhang Qiong was Cheng Mengxi's person.
Since Cheng Mengxi and Li Yiyan came over in the morning, the people in the dyeing workshop naturally saw the clues between Princess Rui and Ning Yunxuan. Gillian was worried that Zhang Qiong would stumble Ning Yunyu because of Princess Rui's relationship.
Hearing Gillian's words, a warmth rose in Ning Yunyu's heart. But Ning Yunyu still smiled at Gillian and said: "Since I handed over the matter to Zhang Qiong in front of everyone, if something goes wrong, the first person to blame will naturally be Zhang Qiong." What's more, Cheng Mengxue is so anxious to use this dress to please the queen, how dare she easily stumble on me? “
Gillian listened to Ning Yunyu's words, and her heart relaxed slightly. His eyes couldn't help but fall on Ning Yunxuan's face in front of him, this face that looked peerless but also extremely delicate, seemed to have a flash of light at this moment, and the woman in front of her seemed to have an ability to control the overall situation.
There are only three days left before the seven-day period, and the masters and embroiderers in the dyeing workshop are a little anxious. Ning Yunxuan was not in a hurry, and asked Zhang Qiong for questioning.
When Zhang Qiong heard that Ning Yunxuan was here to ask about the silkworm ice silk that day, he said with a flattering smile on his face: "Concubine Ning also knows that this silkworm ice silk is different from ordinary cloth, and it is naturally not easy to color. We'll have to wait a while. ”
When the others heard this, they all knew in their hearts that this dome was definitely going to make a stumbling block for Ning Yunxuan.
Ning Yunyu still had a shallow smile on her face, although she was only wearing a simple and rough worker's costume, it was still difficult to hide her peerless appearance, and even now, the light smile on her face was full of the honor of Princess Rui.
Ning Yunyu didn't seem to care about Zhang Qiong's words, but just smiled lightly and said, "Since Master Zhang said so, then I naturally have to wait, but, can Master Zhang be sure to dye the color?" ”
Zhang Qiong's eyes flashed when she heard Ning Yunyu's question, she was just asking about coloring, since the silkworm ice silk had been in the dye vat for so long that day, it would definitely be dyed. It's just that Princess Rui asked him to delay time, and since he has delayed for so long, he naturally won't keep stirring.
Thinking about it, Zhang Qiong was happy in his heart, as long as he was dyed, even if something else went wrong, he couldn't blame himself. Thinking of this, Zhang Qiong nodded again and again and replied: "As long as Concubine Ning gives me some more time, the silkworm ice silk will definitely be dyed this day." ”
Hearing Zhang Qiong's reply, Ning Yunyu smiled faintly and said, "Then there will be Master Lao Zhang." ”
Seeing that six days had passed since the seven-day period, Ning Yunxuan's face did not show any worry, but Gillian was so anxious that she couldn't do it.
Ning Yunxuan looked at Gillian fidgeting and felt funny, so she had to say: "Aunt Gillian, you don't have to worry about me, since that Zhang Qiong didn't come to me directly, he must not have dyed his lust yet, if I ask, the result will be the same." ”
Gillian's face showed a look of pity: "I reminded you at the beginning that Zhang Qiong is Princess Rui's cousin-in-law, but you still handed over such an important matter to him, this, this tomorrow the prince and the princess will come to see the ready-to-wear, how can this be good?" ”
Ning Yunxuan's face was still indifferent, she smiled faintly at Gillian, and said, "Don't worry, if the ready-to-wear is not made tomorrow, it is not mine who should be nervous, there will definitely be someone who is more nervous than us." “
The smile on Ning Yunyu's face made Gillian inexplicably let go of her heart, such a light cloud, she must be able to solve the problem.
As if thinking of something, Ning Yunyu put down the things in his hand and smiled at Gillian: "Although it is said that this ready-to-wear is destined not to be taken out tomorrow, but we still have to work the surface." After speaking, Ning Yunyu took Gillian and walked towards the dyeing workshop.
Seeing that the seven-day period had passed, but Ning Yunxuan still didn't make the slightest move, the people in the dyeing workshop were naturally curious. Now that Ning Yunyu is going to get the silkworm ice silk that day, he can't help but want to see the excitement, and he also wants to know what kind of dazzling clothes the clothes made after the silkworm ice silk is colored.
Ning Yunyu saw that there were more and more people around him, and a smile flashed at the corner of his lips without a trace.
It seemed that he had expected that Ning Yunyu would come over and ask about the Silkworm Ice Silk, Zhang Qiong hurried out of the workshop, and said with a sad face: "Concubine Ning, it's not a small intentional delay, it's just that this Silkworm Ice Silk is really difficult to color, I'm afraid I have to wait until tomorrow morning." ”
Ning Yunyu had already guessed that this was the case, but there was a look of embarrassment on his face: "Master Zhang, I know that silkworm ice silk is difficult to color this day, but this King Rui and Princess Rui are coming tomorrow, if I can't get the ready-to-wear clothes, how can this be good?" ”
Zhang Qiong was overjoyed when he saw Ning Yunxuan's appearance, this Ning Yunxuan was simply too easy to fool, but there was still a sad look on his face: "The little one naturally knows that Concubine Ning is embarrassed, but the little one can't help it." ”
Hearing Zhang Qiong's words, the sadness on Ning Yunyu's face deepened a little, and he asked worriedly: "Master Zhang, you have superb craftsmanship, if this coloring is tomorrow morning, I'm afraid it will be fine, right?" ”
Seeing Ning Yunxuan's appearance, Zhang Qiong was naturally happy in his heart, this time, I was afraid that the reward money he took from Princess Rui would be enough for him to enjoy for a while. Thinking of the reward, Zhang Qiong was overjoyed, and replied repeatedly: "Concubine Ning can rest assured, naturally there is no problem." ”
Ning Yunyu lowered his eyes to hide the color in his eyes, casually said a few words of thanks, and turned to leave.
