Su Shi smiled and said, "Is there anyone who dares to fake it?" ”

Shopkeeper Xu felt that his identity was extraordinary when he saw Su Shishi, and now he looked at him calmly, and he already believed it in his heart.

But then he looked at Su Shi hesitantly and asked, "Since the prince is Su Shi, the second son of the General's Mansion, how can he not know the origin of this handkerchief?" ”

Su Shi was stunned: "Should I know?" ”

Shopkeeper Xu smiled bitterly: "Do you know what kind of fabric this handkerchief is used for?" ”

Su Shi shook his head, he didn't know anything about silk, so he naturally didn't know.

Shopkeeper Xu continued: "I knew at a glance that the fabric used in this handkerchief was runyu silk. ”

"What's Runyusi?"

Hearing Su Shi ask such an idiotic question, Shopkeeper Xu knew that he really didn't know anything about silk, so he had to explain: "This runyu silk comes from the Western Regions, its texture is light and soft, and its touch is cool, like jade infiltration, so it is called runyu silk." ”

Hearing this, Su Shi couldn't help but ask: "You said that Runyu Silk is so magical, isn't it better than Daqian's silk?" ”

Shopkeeper Xu shook his head and explained: "The only silk that can be used in the Western Regions is this Runyu Silk, but the output of this Runyu Silk is very small, and there are only about a dozen horses a year, and it can only be used as a tribute to the Son of Heaven, and I am afraid that there are only one or two Runyu Silk in the palace at present." ”

At this time, it was Su Shi's turn to change his face and he was surprised: "This runyu silk is a tribute?" ”

Only then did he understand why Shopkeeper Xu was shocked and panicked just now.

Since this runyu silk is a tribute, it is naturally only enjoyed by people in the royal family. When Su Shi took out the handkerchief, the shopkeeper Xu recognized Runyusi, thinking that Su Shi was a member of the royal family, so he was naturally terrified.

However, when Su Shi said that he didn't know the origin of the handkerchief, Shopkeeper Xu naturally knew that he was not from the royal family.

is not a member of the royal family but uses the things of the royal family, it is a big crime to kill the head, and when it is investigated, I am afraid that the shopkeeper Xu will not be able to escape the involvement, so he is so afraid.

However, when he learned that Su Shi was the second son of General Su Nian, he was also relieved, General Su Yu Daqian was a meritorious person, and it was common for him to have one or two imperial gifts.

But Su Shi fell into deep thought at this time, because the development of things was beyond his expectations.

This handkerchief is actually a royal thing!

Naturally, he wouldn't believe that it was a gift from the Emperor. The handkerchief is still a personal thing, how can the Son of Heaven reward this kind of personal product.

It is even more impossible for the Son of Heaven to reward the General's Mansion with a whole horse of runyu silk, after all, there are only one or two horses in the entire palace.

Although Su Shi was a little shocked, he didn't take it to heart, took the handkerchief and continued to ask: "Does the shopkeeper know whose craftsmanship the embroidery on the handkerchief is?" ”

The reason why Su Shi wanted to ask whose craftsmanship the embroidery on the handkerchief was because he knew that the secret of the handkerchief was in the embroidery.

If you find the embroiderer, you may be able to unravel the secret.

However, even if Su Shi raised this question, he didn't expect to get an answer from the mouth of Shopkeeper Xu.

Because since Runyusi is a thing in the palace, the person who embroiders is naturally a person in the palace, how can the shopkeeper Xu know who embroidered it.

Sure enough, as Su Shi expected, Shopkeeper Xu shook his head and said, "The embroiderer must be a person in the palace, how can we know." ”

However, he looked at Su Shi with some hesitation.

Su Shi immediately asked, "Could it be that Shopkeeper Xu still knows something?" ”

Shopkeeper Xu smiled bitterly: "I did hear about something, but it's just hearsay." ”

"What's the matter?"

Shopkeeper Xu hesitated for a while, and then said slowly: "Because Runyu Silk is extremely precious, the nobles in the palace will find the Divine Needle Hui Niang to embroider it when they are rewarded. ”

Su Shi hurriedly asked: "Then this embroidery is the work of Shen Needle Hui Niang?" ”

Shopkeeper Xu shook his head and said, "I really don't know this, I don't know anything about embroidery." And the embroidery of the god needle Hui Niang is unparalleled in the world, if someone gets her embroidery must be cherished and valued, it will not be easily shown, so it cannot be compared. ”

"Does Shopkeeper Xu know where this Hui Niang lives?"

Shopkeeper Xu couldn't help but sigh, and then replied, "Hui Niang has been dead for many years. ”

"Already deceased?" Su Shi was slightly surprised, and then looked at the silk handkerchief in his hand blankly, and was at a loss for a while.

After thinking for a long time, Su Shi asked slowly: "Does the shopkeeper know that this Hui Niang has relatives?" ”

Shopkeeper Xu shook his head and said, "Childe, this is asking Yu Blind." However, if Childe wants to inquire about Huiniang, there is a place where Childe can ask. ”

"Where?"

"Rui Hexiang."

"The No. 1 silk Zhuang Rui and Xiang in the capital?"

Shopkeeper Xu said with a smile: "Hui Niang has no relatives, I don't know, but I know that Hui Niang has a disciple, and he is in Ruihexiang." ”

"What is the name of Hui Niang's personal disciple?"

"Embroidered girl, Tang embroidered girl."

Su Shi sat in the carriage, and the carriage was moving very slowly, because Su Shi was not in a hurry, so he told the coachman to walk slowly and not in a hurry.

Because he wants to use this time to organize his thoughts.

Why do middle-aged people give this handkerchief to themselves? What secrets are hidden in this handkerchief?

Su Shi sighed, because he didn't have an answer to either question.

Suddenly, he felt that it was actually a pleasant thing to lie in a chair and count the bamboos, because only the kind of people who have money and leisure in their lives can do it.

Now he's running all the way, and he's still having so many troubles.

In fact, Su Shi really wanted to slap himself twice, because until now, he could still stop and didn't have to pay attention to this matter at all.

But his curiosity sent him to take the carriage and go straight to Yong'an Fang.

Although the carriage walked very slowly, in less than half an hour, Su Shi came to Yong'an Fang again.

Yong'an Fang is far less lively than Ngee On Fang, Su Shi got off the carriage, and there were almost no people on the street, because people who enter and leave Ngee On Fang often take a horse-drawn carriage.

As soon as Su Shi got off the carriage, there were already seven or eight carriages passing by him.

Su Shi saw Hechanglou at a glance, and when he saw Hechanglou, he remembered Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan's identity has always been a mystery to Su Shi, but Su Shi has not thought about solving this mystery.

Because he regards Zhou Xuan as a friend.

Since they are friends, Su Shi will respect her secrets.

He didn't go to Hechang Tower either, although Xiao Yuelou said that as long as he went at any time, he could enjoy the treatment of a VIP at any time.

Su Shi walked straight to Rui Hexiang.

Rui and Xiang are not far away, because the whole Yong'an Fang is not big.

However, although Yong'an Fang is not big, it is definitely the most prosperous place in the 100 squares in Beijing.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Su Shi came to the door of Ruihexiang.
