Chapter 475: Wei Ruo Goes to the Banquet
"Don't say these words, I don't want to be amazing, I just hope that His Royal Highness King Yu will not dislike me. This opportunity was won by Qi Gongzi for me with great difficulty, I can't stay with Qi Gongzi in this life, but at least I can't let myself lose to Wei Qingruo. ”
Wei Qingwan's eyes are tenacious, this is what she told herself when she chose to take this path, since she can't get love, then work hard to get power and make Wei Qingruo pay the price!
"Miss, don't worry, although the eldest lady has now become Princess Rui and has a noble status, but her scenery is only temporary, everyone knows about King Rui's situation, and I don't know how many days she can have a good life, she will definitely not be able to compare to you in the future." Let's just say that the eldest lady of the Lu family may not be able to go to the banquet today, and if she can't do it, she will have to stay in the palace to take care of Prince Rui. Cuihe snickered.
Wei Qingwan got up and walked out of the house, and the Bai family was waiting for her early.
These days, the Bai family has treated her more enthusiastically than the Yun family's mother, which makes Wei Qingwan can't help but wonder if the Yun family still has her daughter in her heart.
"Wanwan, you're here, the second aunt didn't dare to go in and disturb you when she knew that you needed to dress up for a while." With a smile on his face, Bai Shi enthusiastically stepped forward to take Wei Qingwan's hand.
"Let the second aunt wait for a long time."
"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, our Wanwan is the most important, don't say just wait for a while, no matter how long you can wait!"
The Bai clan and Wei Qingwan came to the door, and the Yun clan and the Mo clan were already waiting here.
Seeing Wei Qingwan and Bai Clan coming together, Yun's eyes were slightly downcast, but he didn't say anything.
Wei Qingwan saw that Yun's eyes were cold, and couldn't help but sneer in her heart, if she was really an adopted daughter who could only get a side concubine, she couldn't be her biological daughter who could be a concubine.
Yun retracted his gaze, and then got into the carriage with Mo.
Seeing this, the Bai family used the excuse that he had something to ask Wei Qingwan to help him taste it, and pulled Wei Qingwan into the second carriage.
###
Old Man Lu celebrated his birthday, and King Rui's Mansion naturally received an invitation letter.
It stands to reason that King Rui and his wife are also going to congratulate, and the other palaces are going, and there is no reason why King Rui Mansion should not go.
It's just that everyone didn't have much hope for King Rui and King Rui's Mansion to attend, because King Rui was not in good health, which was something that everyone in the capital knew.
Wei Ruo planned to accept the invitation, so she specially dressed up carefully.
not only put on a delicate makeup, but also changed into a purple skirt.
The suit was new, made of lilac brocade with simple patterns embroidered with slightly darker purple threads.
There is also a large sleeve made of gauze on the outside, thin as cicada wings and as light as nothing.
The color is lighter than the purple on the inside, and the cover adds layers to the outer layer, making the whole dress fuller and softer.
Xiumei couldn't help laughing: "Miss, where are you going to congratulate the old man of the Lu family on his birthday?" You're clearly here to bring the goods! ”
The word "bringing goods" was taught to her by Miss, who said that bringing her own goods on her body and showing its advantages and benefits to outsiders is called bringing goods.
Wei Ruo had nothing to do, if it weren't for other purposes, she wouldn't have dressed herself so carefully.
Look at her outfit today, she is delicate from head to toe, and even her lipstick is a little redder than usual.
I don't think she dressed herself so the day she got married.
"That's natural, those who can attend the birthday banquet of the old man of the Lu family are all the most expensive people in the capital, and they have the most silver in their pockets, who will they sell if I don't sell my good goods?" Wei Ruo hooked his lips and smiled slyly.
Xiumei: "Miss is right! I raise my hands and feet in agreement! ”
Wei Ruo: "You can give me one at the same time." ”
Xiumei: "Miss, I'm just a metaphor!" ”
Wei Ruo: "Then your young lady I want to see you on all fours." ”
Xiumei: "Okay, Miss, you compare me to the turtle king!" ”
Wei Ruo: "Is there one?" I didn't say you said it yourself! ”
Xiumei: "Miss, you are bad!" ”
After laughing and playing for a while, the master and servant saw that the time was almost up, and they set off.
Walking out of the door, Lin Fang saw Wei Ruo's clothes, and couldn't help but say: "Miss's clothes are really good-looking, this purple is more bright and elegant than usual, I have never seen it dyed in such a color before, this craftsman who does the dyeing process is very powerful!" ”
Hearing this, Xiumei laughed out loud: "Sister Lin, it's not that the craftsmen who do dyeing are powerful, it's that the dyes used are different." ”
"The dye is different, isn't it dyed with comfrey?" Lin Fang was puzzled.
"This ordinary purple garment is indeed the color extracted from the roots of comfrey, but this one on my young lady's body is different, it is made of bone snails." Xiumei replied.
"Bone snails? A snail? The doubts on Lin Fang's face were even worse.
"Yes, it's a conch, and it has branches in the East China Sea and the South China Sea, and if a fisherman catches it, the lady will buy it." Xiumei explained.
"But how do you make dye from conch?" Lin Fang continued to ask.
"The glands of the bone snail are taken out, put in a bottle of cold water and fermented for a few hours, then filtered, and the filtered content is dried in the sun, and after a few days you can get a purple dye. This dye is rarer than comfrey's, but the color is brighter and will not fade over time. And unlike comfrey, which can only be colored with silk, and can show a better purple color after more than a dozen times, the purple extracted from the bone snail is more obvious after only one dye. Xiumei explained.
"And this kind of thing?" Lin Fang was very surprised.
Wei Ruoqian smiled and said: "What Mei Mei said is true, but this production method is more difficult, so I don't have much purple through bone snails." In addition, it can also be extracted by coal, which is easy to find raw materials, but the production method is more harsh. ”
"Coal? That black thing can extract purple too? Lin Fang wondered again.
"Well, if you put coal in a boiler, isolate it from the air, and then fire it at high temperatures, you get a gas that can be burned and black coal tar, from which many colors can be extracted. It's just that because of the limited conditions, the failure rate of the production process is high. But if you succeed once, you can get a lot of purple dye. Wei Ruo replied.
Lin Fang heard it in a fog: "It's really amazing, what Miss said, I have walked the rivers and lakes for many years and I have never heard of it." ”
Wei Ruo smiled: "Interlaced lines are like mountains, it's normal for Sister Lin not to know this." ”
Then the three of them walked to the door and joined Wei Jin, who had been waiting for a long time.
