Survival Game: I Have Recorded Mirror

Chapter 22 Cocoon Cooking and Silk Reeling
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, everyone's face was ugly.

The arrival of the royal family means that the factors of instability have increased again.

"What are you doing standing around? Hurry up and pack up and come with me to see the Lord." The steward's mother said loudly, and with a wave of her hand, the maids behind her filed in, each holding a tray in their hands.

Zhan Xiaobai picked up the items on the tray in front of her and saw that it turned out to be a light blue skirt.

"To meet the royal family, you are representing the face of the Gao family. Naturally, you have to dress more formally and dignified. Do you still want these coarse clothes to stain the eyes of the royal family?" The steward mother looked up and shouted loudly when she saw that everyone was silent. .

Heipao picked up his clothes and was the first to change, followed by Fu Nani.

The rest of the people reluctantly changed their clothes.

Changing clothes is very common, but at the critical point of acceptance, everyone is always in a hurry and very worried.

As soon as the clothes were changed, the mother in charge urged everyone to the front yard of the Gao Mansion.

At this time, there were many people standing densely in the front yard, and there were obviously two groups of people wearing armor and standing in front of the living room with weapons.

After they arrived, they couldn't move casually, they could only stand in the front yard with the mother in charge, waiting for the arrangement of the mistress.

"The one who came today is the eldest son of the royal family and the future emperor. You must be patient and answer every question. If anyone makes a mistake and offends the royal family, then your whole family will not need to live." Already." The mother in charge introduced the royal guests in a low voice, and gave them some instructions on the etiquette when meeting the royal family.

Everyone became more nervous, and Zhan Xiaobai heard Zhao Yujie silently recite the mantra of purifying the heart.

After standing for a long time, the steward came out from the living room and shouted to the steward's mother, "Bring it in."

Zhan Xiaobai followed the mother in charge into the living room and knelt on the ground, and then heard the mistress say, "Your Highness, the next test is the Feisi test, everyone who has nothing to do with it, please step down."

"Did you hear everything? Back off." The eldest prince took a slow sip of tea and put the cup on the table.

Pairs of feet walked past Zhan Xiaobai's peripheral vision, and the door closed with a creak.

"The second step of Feijin production has officially started, cooking cocoons and reeling silk." The mistress stood up from her seat and walked to a large pot of boiling water. Whether the silk of the embroiderer can be used as a material for making brocade."

Zhan Xiaobai raised his head slightly to see how cocoon cooking and silk reeling were performed, but he saw the mistress throw a jade disc into the pot.

Wasn't the mistress buried this piece of jade in front of the silkworm god's cave?She actually took it back.

"Cook the cocoon." The mistress turned around and returned to her seat.

Zhan Xiaobai and the others stepped forward one by one and stood in a row, throwing all the cocoons in their hands into the pot in front of them.

This hot pot is particularly like a replica of the nine-square grid of eating hot pot now. A pot is divided into multiple small grids by the baffle, and the cocoons in their hands are rolling in different small grids.

After the water turned pale yellow, the mistress said, "Take the lead."

Immediately, a maid stepped forward to pick up the cocoon and groped for a while, then pinched out a thin silk thread.

"Divide the locks onto the upper axis," the mistress continued.

The maid held the silk thread, passed it through the silk eye, crossed the crossbar, placed it on the silk scale ladder, and finally wrapped it around the wooden gallows.

"Let's begin," said the mistress.

The maid began to turn the handle, and the wooden frame started to turn. The silk thread came out of the cocoon continuously, and was wound up step by step through the shaft. After a while, the whole cocoon was completely stripped and turned into silk thread.

Followed by drying.

Near noon, Zhan Xiaobai already got the silk thread made from his own cocoon in his hand.

Perhaps they were the first batch of silkworms hatched by the human-faced moth, or they might be the baby silkworms that Zhan Xiaobai used to feed on the mulberry leaves of the mulberry forest. She found that the silk in her hand was much crystal clear and thinner than other people's.

"So you're going to verify the silk?" the First Prince asked.

"Returning to Your Highness, that's exactly the case." Madam Gao lowered her head and replied.

"Actually, I'm very curious. I've heard that the production of flying brocade is extremely demanding, and the flying silk used is even more valuable. One piece is hard to find. I don't know how this flying silk is verified." The eldest prince asked, with a confused look on his face. Be serious.

Mistress Gao shook the fan in her hand, "Although the verification method is Gao's secret, this method is actually very simple, and the answer lies on the fan in my hand."

"You mean to use a fan to compare whose silk floats farther?" The eldest prince said with some disappointment.

Mrs. Gao just smiled and said nothing, and asked someone to bring a measuring stick.

The mistress began to call people one by one, and each person would have an inch of silk cut off.

Then the person who was called up squatted on the ground, holding silk in his left hand and a fan in his right hand. He fanned the silk underneath and the silk swayed upwards with the wind from the fan.

Zhan Xiaobai watched the silk flit over the corners of the table, over the chairs, over the tabletop, until it reached the top of everyone's heads, and then began to fall.

This thread is so light.

"Sure enough, this ordinary silk can only fly a foot or two at most. You can fly so high." The eldest prince couldn't help clapping his hands.

"Thank you for the compliment, the eldest prince. We have a strict verification method passed down from our ancestors. I'm afraid it may be a little bit worse than this." The mistress then shouted, "Report the number."

"Five feet two."

"It's not up to standard." The mistress frowned and said, "Next one."

"Five feet six."

"Unqualified." The mistress' brows deepened, "Next."

The next one to step forward was Chen Xiangjun. He took an inch of silk in his hand and squatted down.

The silk of the fan on the right hand only floated up half a foot before falling down.

Before the count was reported, Chen Xiangjun shouted in surprise, "How is that possible?" He took the fan and slapped it twice again, and the silk floated upwards again, but it still only floated half a foot, and then began to fly towards the whereabouts.

"This is not the silkworm you raised." The mistress immediately looked at Chen Xiangjun with fierce eyes.

"This, this." Chen Xiangjun stammered, then seemed to think of something, stepped forward and said without changing his expression, "This is the silkworm I raised with my own hands."

A few days ago, Ding Mei lost the silkworm, but the mistress said that Chen Xiangjun's silkworm was not raised by himself. No matter what the mistress judged based on, then the silkworm was probably Ding Mei's.

Zhan Xiaobai pulled Ding Mei out, and said to the mistress: "Mistress, I ask her to try it, maybe this silk will fly."

The mistress tilted her head, thought for a moment, and smiled meaningfully: "Try it, but if you can't fly, you have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, and the consequences will be very serious."
