Chapter 613, peerless good fabric
But Mrs. Song's two granddaughters-in-law looked disappreciative.
"I've seen all the shrouds you made for my old sisters, and they're really good." Old Lady Song smiled, "I heard that you still have a roll of material in your hand, which is an old object left over from the past, I want to see it."
"Okay, wait a minute." Bai Zhou said, "I'll go get it."
She turned around and went into the warehouse, and a granddaughter-in-law said, "Grandma, what good material can she have for such a dilapidated shop."
Another granddaughter-in-law also said, "Yes, grandma. If you think her craftsmanship is good, let's go to the Yunjin Weaving Bureau to customize Yunjin, why bother with the old materials she has at home, so as not to stain your eyes."
"That is, what she can take out is only an ordinary piece of silk, and it is not the work of a famous artist."
"Nonsense!" Old Lady Song's face stiffened, "Don't let Boss Xiaobai hear it, if you offend her, she doesn't want to make me a shroud, I'm the only one who asks!"
The two granddaughters-in-law had to keep their mouths shut.
Mrs. Song has been in charge of the Shi family for so many years, and she has always said the same.
But both of them muttered in their hearts: the old lady is really confused.
At this time, Bai Zhou walked out with a brocade box, which was one meter long, bright red, and looked a little gaudy, just like the kind of box that sells cheap jewelry outside.
The two granddaughters-in-law pouted.
It's not very good, the old lady hasn't seen anything good, can you take a fancy to this?
Bai Zhou ignored their disdainful eyes, put the brocade box on the table, and said, "This is a piece of material that my grandfather specially asked the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau to weave in the last years of the Manchu Dynasty. It was originally intended for an old lady of the Jiangnan clan, but I didn't expect that the clan was suddenly hit by a military disaster, and the family was scattered, and the old lady also fled south, and she didn't know where to go, so she didn't use it."
"You're also related to this piece of material."
The two granddaughters-in-law scoffed even more.
This sounds unreliable, it must be made up.
It is estimated that this Xiaobai boss has customized a lot of materials, and every time a distinguished guest comes, she uses this kind of rhetoric.
It's only the old lady who is so old and confused that she will believe it, want to lie to them, and dream.
A granddaughter-in-law couldn't help but say, "Grandma, such good materials, but in such a simple box, it's too tyrannical, right?"
In fact, she was sarcastic about Bai Zhou, reminding Mrs. Song that Bai Zhou was bragging.
Another granddaughter-in-law helped, "Yes, it should be packed in a rosewood box."
"Shut up!" Old Lady Song scolded, "What do you know? This box alone is worth a thousand gold!"
The two granddaughters-in-law were stunned.
They are also from wealthy families, but their families have only become rich in recent years, and they have seen a lot of foreign luxury goods, such as a few treasures, and traditional good things in the hot summer, but they have not seen much.
Old Lady Song turned her head, and there was a light of appreciation in her eyes: "This is a fine cloud brocade, the golden pattern on it is a real gold thread!"
She looked up and asked Bai Zhou, "The material for this brocade box came out of the palace, right?"
Bai Zhou bowed his head and said: "The old lady has a good eye, this is indeed the material in the Manchu Palace, when the last emperor and queen were driven out of the palace, they took away a lot of good material. It's just that when I went to the Northeast later, I was in a hurry, and I didn't take a lot of things with me, so I was sold by the eunuchs. This piece of material was collected by my grandfather from them."
Mrs. Song sighed and said, "It's too extravagant, such a good material is actually used to make a brocade box, and it should be used to make clothes."
Bai Zhou said with a smile: "This piece of material was made into clothes seventy years ago, and the old lady of the warlord in Danan City wore it for her seventieth birthday, and finally lived to be ninety-one years old and was buried in it. This is the small piece of leftover material that is made into a brocade box."
The two granddaughters-in-law glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
"Is this really the material in the palace?"
"The old lady can't just look away, right?"
The two made eye contact and did not dare to speak.
Old Lady Song smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay, you open the box, I'll look at the fabric."
Bai Zhou opened the brocade box, took out a piece of material from it, and slowly unfolded it in front of the three of them.
The faces of the two granddaughters-in-law suddenly changed from disdain to extreme shock.
This material ...... It's so beautiful!
It is said that the material that is too full of patterns is cheesy, but this royal blue material full of gold is extremely noble, not vulgar at all, and the entwined lotus patterns on it are all woven with the best gold threads, shining in the light.
Each entwined branch lotus flower heart, have woven a longevity word, the most unique thing is that each "longevity" word is different, there are cursive, official script, regular script, big seal, small seal, and so on.
Even if the two granddaughters-in-law no longer understand traditional fabrics, they know that this is definitely a rare piece of good material.
The old lady of the Song family widened her eyes even more, her hands were trembling with excitement, she slowly stretched out her hand, wanting to touch this piece of material, but she was afraid of staining the fabric, so she didn't dare to really touch it.
