Pet official

Afraid that he might make a mistake, Ruan Baosheng rushed to Ruan Yunqing's side, pulled up a corner of his robe sleeve, kneaded it back and forth in his hand, and looked carefully again, not letting go of even a fine line.

Sure enough, Ruan Baosheng asked again: "The clothes are so expensive, where did you come from?"

He suddenly yelled, startling both Pingxi and Ruan Yunqing, Ruan Yunqing didn't know why, but just let Ruan Baosheng circle around the robe on his body, becoming more and more puzzled.Pingxi thought that Ruan Baosheng did this on purpose, and wanted to take the opportunity to escape, to avoid this incident, and refused to hand over the money to him.Inevitably, there was another burst of anger, pulling Ruan Baosheng away, and said coldly: "If you don't want to give the money, forget it, what do you do to scare the child again."

Ruan Baosheng yelled that he was wronged, waved his hands again and again and said, "No. You also come over and have a look, the clothes Xiaoer is wearing are not simple."

Pingxi was skeptical, and looked at Ruan Yunqing when he heard the words.

What Ruan Yunqing was wearing was the deep coat that Mo Zhu made for him this morning, with a green bamboo base, dark green bamboo patterns, and a large belt of the same color around his waist, which strangled his slender waist.

"It's just a robe, what's so rare?"

Pingxi took a closer look, but didn't see any clues, Ruan Baosheng hurriedly lifted up the large lapel of the robe, held it in his hand, and asked Ruan Yunqing to take two steps outside, and stood in the sun.

"Look carefully!"

It doesn't matter if you look at it, after seeing it, even Ping Xi, who is always calm and indifferent, was a little surprised.

The turquoise fabric shone silver in the sun, and through the thin layer, the sunlight shone down and cast a shimmering spot of light on the ground.

"This!" Pingxi couldn't believe it, "You said this is..."

Before Pingxi could finish speaking, Ruan Baosheng nodded and said, "That's right. I can't be sure yet, but after taking a photo under the sun this time, I should be sure that it is that kind of thing."

The two of them were in a daze, Ruan Yunqing couldn't understand, and couldn't help feeling more uncomfortable, and hurriedly followed their gazes and looked at herself.The clothes on her body are the same as in the morning, but through the sunlight, one can clearly see a lot of silver-white silk threads interspersed among the bamboo patterns, the threads are much thinner than ordinary silk threads, like fluff, silky and thready, Interspersed between the latitude and longitude of the fabric, it is so small that it is difficult to distinguish. If you just wear it on your body and don't look closely at the sun, even Ruan Yunqing will not notice it.

Isn't it just weaving some silvery white silk threads?What is so rare about this, it deserves their surprise.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with this dress?" Ruan Yunqing was full of suspicion, and her voice was lowered a lot.

Ruan Baosheng stared wide-eyed, looked at Ruan Yunqing, and wondered: "You have worn this thing on your body, why don't you recognize it?"

"Recognize what?" Ruan Yunqing became more and more confused, staring at the hem of her clothes, unable to see why for a long time.

Ruan Yunqing has always been smart and stubborn, rarely naive and dazed, his temperament is tenacious, and he never complains, sometimes Ruan Baosheng would ignore Ruan Yunqing's age, and treat him as an adult in his heart.

At this time, I saw Ruan Yunqing's big eyes staring at the clothes, there was a bit of suspicion in her bright eyes, her round cheeks were also shriveled, she looked much more childish than usual.

Ruan Baosheng couldn't help rubbing Ruan Yunqing's head, his words softened, and he explained carefully: "Your clothes should be mixed with ice silk."

"Ice silk?"

Ruan Yunqing was still puzzled, so Ruan Baosheng asked him to take off the robe so that he could demonstrate it to him.

Ruan Yunqing took off her robe as she said, and Ruan Baosheng took it in his hand and weighed it lightly twice.The clothes are very finely made, with fine needles and corners, exquisite patterns, soft and comfortable cotton, a thin layer without much weight, and clinging to the skin, even though it is June weather, it still feels cool on the hands Yes, he asked Pingxi and Ruan Yunqing to follow him out of the house and into the courtyard.Spread out the clothes and put them on the stone table in the yard, letting the sun above them bask in the sun.

It was almost noon at this time, and the scorching sun was on their heads. In just a moment, the three of them were covered in sweat, and the clothes on their bodies were scorching hot, as if covered with several layers of thick quilts, the heat was unbearable.

"It's almost there." Ruan Baosheng picked up the robe as he spoke, and asked Ruan Yunqing and He Xisheng to touch it.

When Ruan Yunqing touched it with her hand, she felt a burst of wonder in her heart, and her hands felt cool, the clothes had been exposed to the sun just now, and there was not even a trace of heat on them.Not only that, even if I cover it with my palm deliberately, it will still be cold to the touch, and will not be warmed by the skin at all.

"This……"

"It really is ice silk."

Ruan Baosheng was even more affirmative, "When I Hepingxi first entered the palace, I stayed for a while under the eunuch in charge of the Likun Palace. Because I had to arrange and dry the clothes frequently, I was quite knowledgeable about the materials and styles of the clothes. .”

The three of them went back to the house, closed the door, the two brothers sat down at the table, and Pingxi made tea, then Ruan Baosheng explained in detail: "This ice silk is produced in Nanping, and it was traded more than a hundred years ago. Introduced to the four countries, it is famous all over the world for its lightness as hair, fineness as velvet, toughness as steel, continuous stretching, immortality in fire, softness and smoothness, and coldness as ice. Weaving this material into clothes, it will instantly But you are not afraid of the scorching sun, as you have just seen, even if you put it under the scorching sun, you will not be invaded by the heat."

Ice silk is a kind of silk that is transparent and much smaller than ordinary silkworms. This kind of silkworm is extremely demanding on the climate and environment. Except for the snow-capped mountains and cliffs in Nanping, other places can't raise it at all.As soon as the ice silk entered the commercial road, it attracted looting from the four countries. Merchants made great profits, so they naturally wanted to produce more and sell more. However, the ice silkworm would die soon after leaving the country, leaving the snow-capped mountains, even if it took the silkworm eggs to hatch in other extremely cold places, it would be impossible. There is no way to raise ice silkworms to weave silk and make cocoons.

This kind of silkworm is only found in Nanping Snow Mountain, and ordinary people can't breed it at all, they can only be produced naturally, and the number is extremely rare.There are few silkworms, and naturally there are few silkworms. Nanping Snow Mountain is frozen for thousands of miles and does not melt all year round. The temperature at the bottom of the cliff is even more frighteningly low. , the weather in the snow-capped mountains is slightly warmer, and the ice at the bottom of the cliff cracks, so you can enter the snow-capped mountains, climb down the bottom of the cliff to get ice silkworm cocoons, and come back to reel silk.Every time I go in, I have a narrow escape, and it is very likely that I will never return. Not only is it very cold in the snow mountain, but there are many rare and strange beasts, which are extremely ferocious. If you are not careful, you will be dragged away by these beasts to eat.There are only a few baskets of ice silkworm cocoons that can be retrieved from the ground every year, and no more than one or two cocoons after being spun into silk.

This can really be regarded as a life-for-money trade, and things are scarce, so this ice silk has long been priceless, and it is hard to find.Except for Nanping's tribute to the four countries, what can really flow into the market is either a defective product mixed with other silk, or it is simply a fake.

"This robe is so exquisite, and the ice silk on the robe is even and dense, it is definitely top grade."

The robe is densely woven and embroidered even more delicately. The ice silk is spread all over the robe, and the embroidery thread is used to cover the ice silk. It's hard for people to notice.

Ruan Baosheng became more and more frightened, Pingxi was also speechless for a while, Ruan Yunqing was just a slave, such a dress, even their lifetime salary could not be exchanged.He couldn't help asking repeatedly, asking Ruan Yunqing how this thing came about.After asking a few words, Ruan Yunqing just turned pale, and refused to say a word, Ruan Baosheng got angry, and just wanted to ask Ruan Yunqing to ask what happened, but Pingxi grabbed her and shook her head quietly, no Let him ask further.

Ruan Bao let out a long sigh, and he knew that after entering Duanhua Palace, Ruan Yunqing might not be able to control himself for the rest of his life.Seeing the bitterness on his face, he couldn't bear to ask any more, thinking that this kid is calm and smart, and he handles things very well, so he wouldn't make any big mistakes.The words that should be persuaded have already been persuaded. As for what happens in the future, it only depends on the luck of the brothers.

Ruan Yunqing was very upset, and sat for a while, then bid farewell to Ruan Baosheng and Ruan Baosheng, and went back to Duanhua Palace.

He was overwhelmed with doubts, and on the way back, he thought about what happened this morning over and over several times.

Mo Zhu came over suddenly, and gave him clothes and food, saying that he made these things by himself, and wanted Ruan Yunqing to make up for himself.

She was grateful for her kindness, and she didn't doubt that he was in her heart, so she didn't think much about it.However, now it seems that these things are more valuable than the same, Ruan Yunqing feels uneasy, and can't help thinking again.

Where did the ink bamboo come from for such a precious thing?That cocoa spirit ointment is already rare in the world, and the robe on her body is even more difficult to find in the world.The same can barely be said to be rewarded by the Queen Mother, but both are the same, Ruan Yunqing never believed that the Queen Mother would be so generous, casually rewarding a young maid with two rare treasures.

If it is her own, it is even more impossible.Although Mo Zhu is a regular aunt in the Duanhua Palace, and she is somewhat respectable in front of Song Bin, but she is also a slave after all, and the Lumi of 16 taels of silver a month is less than her own salary.

In terms of emotion and reason, Mo Zhu couldn't even afford to buy the cocoa spirit cream and the clothing made of ice silk, and he was so nonchalant that he did it overnight, and then gave it away as a favor after changing hands.

All of this is weird, Ruan Yunqing was thinking while walking, when he was approaching the gate of Duanhua Palace, he suddenly thought of a person, couldn't help but stop, and repeatedly shouted: "Impossible!"

The name was on his lips, almost blurting out, Ruan Yunqing shook his head several times, but still had to think about him.In this palace, who can give away ice silk and cocoa spirit ointment, except for Song Ren?

Ruan Yunqing became more and more panicked, why did Song Ju give him clothes?And what did they do after dinner last night?

Looking back carefully, he still found nothing. Just when he was about to give up, he suddenly remembered that after Ni Rui was dealt with yesterday, when Song Ren asked Mo Zhu and the others to leave, he had leaned into Mo Zhu's ear and told her a few words.

Could it be then?The timing is right, but the reason is still unknown.Song Bin already had Hong Luan in his heart, and he said it himself last night that he would punish himself to serve him and Hong Luan.I was so heartbroken that I almost ran away. If I didn't want to give up completely, I'm afraid I would have escaped from the palace by then, and I would never let Song Ren see it again.

The more I thought about it, the more suspicious Song Ru became.He is probably the only one who can make Mo Zhuyan obey and drive out a piece of clothing overnight.Ruan Yunqing stared blankly at the mottled shadows on the sidewalk, recalling that at dinner last night, although Song Ru didn't speak much and seemed indifferent, his demeanor was extremely gentle. , Song Ru did not criticize too much.

This scene is almost the same as when they were in the past.No, Ruan Yunqing quickly retorted, it was even worse than in the past. In the past, Song Ren's eyes often showed some cynical and violent expressions, even towards him. Made some jokes.But yesterday, Song Ru seemed to be a different person. He didn't need to speak, but his every move was full of warmth. He treated himself as if he were treating something he loved, taking care of him with care, and the considerateness in his eyes. Like it's about to overflow.
