This Northern Song Dynasty is a bit weird

Chapter 141 Jigsaw Puzzle
Hearing that they could go shopping, the three women were extremely excited.

It's not that they have any complaints, but that no matter how beautiful a place is, it will become a bit boring after a long time.Moreover, shopping has always been one of the important hobbies of women, no matter ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign.

Hangzhou City is an important commercial center. Although it is not as good as Bianliang, the capital for the time being, as more and more foreign merchant ships come to Song Dynasty, the cargo throughput of Quanzhou and Guangzhou has almost reached the upper limit, so many foreign merchant ships have begun to go this way.

In addition, Hangzhou is just on the line of the Grand Canal, so the transportation here is extremely convenient, and the number of businessmen coming and going is gradually increasing.

Moreover, more than a month ago, the fleet returning from the Spice Islands has not yet fully unloaded, and a large number of businessmen and laborers gathered in the city, so Hangzhou is extremely lively at this time.

The streets are crowded with people.

The three women of Lu Sen's family walked around the street, especially going to the rouge powder shop and the cloth shop.

But just watch and don't buy, because you don't need it.

The original purpose of rouge was to cover up the blemishes on the appearance, and then gradually came the term makeup to make people more beautiful.

But these three women ate the fruits produced by the system every day, drank honey water, and even started to practice "immortal magic". There were no skin blemishes all over their bodies, and they were so beautiful that they didn't need to apply rouge at all.

As for the fabric... In order to make the three women not so boring, Lu Sen planted some mulberry trees and raised some silkworms at home, so that the three women could stay in the mountains and have something to do.

As for raising silkworms and weaving satin... Pang Meier and Zhao Bilian were very good at it from the very beginning.

In fact, sericulture was almost an essential skill among the daughters of wealthy families in the Northern Song Dynasty.They watch their elders do it since they were young, and then follow their elders to do it when they are older. When they are fourteen or fifteen years old, they will be able to master it proficiently.

Moreover, the matter of raising silkworms and weaving satin itself is a good "job" that even scholars recognize. Ordinary small households want to raise silkworms and weave satin... Hehe, let's not talk about whether there is enough land for them to grow. Whether there are enough manpower to manage the silkworm houses for the mulberry trees that produce silk, and there is a saying about the technology of cocoon cooking and drawing, ordinary people don't know how to do it.

But Yang Jinhua didn't know much about silkworm raising and satin weaving. She had practiced martial arts since she was a child, and Zhao Bilian and Pang Meier were not as familiar with this matter.

The quality of silk produced from systematically 'improved' mulberry trees and silkworm eggs is extremely high.

The silk spit out is multicolored, it is gradient color layer, and it is light color.The silk quality is very good, it looks transparent, and the silk is woven into satin. If you look at it from a distance, you no longer feel that it is cloth, but a faint rainbow.

The three of them are now wearing long skirts made of silk like this to go out. Walking on the street, they are extremely eye-catching.

Of course, there must be ordinary clothes inside, otherwise it is easy to be seen as obscene.

Seeing these three women dressed in beautiful rainbow silk, many people wanted to come over and strike up a conversation.It's not some crooked idea, but I just want to ask where this kind of rainbow silk is produced, and they also want a few pieces of this kind of cloth.

There are a lot of rich people in Hangzhou City, especially after the spice fleet came back, there are even more of them. It has reached the point where you can hit a wealthy businessman by throwing a brick at will.

Once this person has more money, he will have higher pursuits.

They were used to the ordinary Jinxiu, but this kind of beautiful rainbow silk suddenly appeared, no matter how they thought about it, they were very excited.

However, no one dared to come up rashly, they all stopped to have a look, and tried their best to inquire.

Look at your friends, does anyone know about this kind of rainbow silk, or know these three beautiful women.

Yang Jinhua and the others also knew that many people were paying attention to them, but they didn't care. In terms of safety, both Yang Jinhua and Zhao Bilian are good players now. Because Pang Meier is still perfect, she didn't double cultivate with Lu Sen, so her progress in martial arts is extremely slow After a year, I barely managed to achieve a 'fitness' effect.

The strength is at most similar to that of ordinary people.

However, there is a beautiful jade snail hidden in her clothes. This thing is a kind of contracted spirit beast, but it doesn't look very good after transformation.

There was no way around this, after all, Lu Sen had all the contracted spirit beasts that could be seen in Lu Sen's hands, so she could only choose this little thing that caught her eye when she looked at it.

In fact, there is no difference in the strength of contracted spirit beasts, only their characteristics are different, and... they are good-looking or not.

Of course, there are also suitability arguments.

Like Zhao Bilian, who is the most suitable for contracting with spirit beasts among all the people.

Without changing her body, Yang Jinhua held Zhao Bilian down and beat her.

But in the same transformation situation, Zhao Bilian won by a small margin.

What's more, behind them, there are four men in black, with solemn faces, straight eyes, and a fierce look. It seems that they are generals who have been carefully trained by a wealthy family, and there is no problem with their safety.

Ordinary wealthy businessmen don't have this kind of ostentation.

The three women walked around from morning to afternoon, and finally got a little tired for nearly three hours... In fact, it was just Pang Meier who was tired.

So the three of them found an elegant restaurant and sat down.

This restaurant is also owned by the Prince's Mansion of Runan County, so Zhao Bilianhao did not hesitate to show the 'Zhao Family Token' and got the best seat.

Sitting on the cloud platform on the third floor, drinking hot soup, and looking at the street scene of Hangzhou City, the three of them felt very fresh.

"Finally feel the world is crowded." Pang Meier sighed with blurred eyes.

Although living in the mountains is very comfortable, but she is not a master of cultivation, and she is still obsessed with the prosperity of the world.

"Meier can't hold it anymore?" Yang Jinhua asked while drinking the white fungus soup.

"It's okay, go out for a day of shopping, and then I can go back to live in the mountains for a year." Pang Meier smiled and said, "The glitz and glamour of the world is just decoration after all. It's enough to come out and see the changes in the world. It's more comfortable to live in the mountains at other times."

Yang Jinhua smiled, she felt the same way.

Then Yang Jinhua looked at Zhao Bilian, who was trying to eat the fried meat in his hand, with a look of concentration.

Then Yang Jinhua sighed in her heart.

I used to think that Zhao Bilian was too simple-minded, not as smart as she and Mei Er.

But now that I think about it, it is Zhao Bilian who is easy to practice.

She and Pang Meier had lived in the mountains for a long time, so she always wanted to go down the mountain and have a look.

But Zhao Bilian never... She just practiced swordsmanship every day, and then pestered officials and people to practice double cultivation when she had time.

Just concentrate on doing these two things, and have no other distractions at all.

Therefore, Zhao Bilian's current practice speed is completely rapid, and she is chasing Yang Jinhua at an extremely fast speed. It is estimated that in five or six years, Zhao Bilian should be able to draw with Yang Jinhua without changing her body.

You know, Yang Jinhua practiced for ten years more.

The three of them ate, talked and laughed, and then looked at the time. The sun was going to the west, and they thought about going back to the mountain. When they were about to get up, three men walked over.

These three dresses look pretty good, but judging from their temperament and figure, they should be serving people.

Sure enough, the three men walked up to Yang Jinhua, cupped their hands, and said: "You three noble ladies are polite. I am the steward of the Xiangyang Prince's Mansion, my lord. Please come and sit at the Palace."

At this time, there were many guests nearby, and upon hearing this, they all looked over.

Yang Jinhua frowned: "At this time, the sun is about to set, and the King of Xiangyang actually invites women into the mansion. Is it possible to rob the women by force?"

"No." The butler clasped his fists and said, "My lord doesn't mean that, he just passed on the message for the wangfei. In fact, the wangfei wants to invite the three of you to the palace, and she wants to make friends with the three noble ladies."

Yang Jinhua's expression became even colder: "At one time it was the King of Xiangyang who wanted to invite someone, and at another time it was the princess who wanted to invite someone. There is no right number? Besides, as a relative of the emperor, the King of Xiangyang should understand the reason why women don't sleep out at night. , invite someone at this time, he is not afraid that the melon fields and Li Xia will affect Qing Yu, but I am afraid that my officials will misunderstand, let me go."

As soon as this was said, someone beside him laughed.

Many people were talking about it, saying that Wang Qingyu of Xiangyang had been famous for most of his life, and now he might lose his life at the end of the year.

The housekeeper frowned, and said: "The three noble ladies are new to Hangzhou, this is the prince's fiefdom."

This is a threat.

Yang Jinhua's eyes widened, she was about to slap the table and stand up and kick someone.

But I didn't expect that someone was faster than him.

I saw a young chivalrous man who kept on dressing up came out from the side, stood directly in front of the steward, and shouted loudly: "I heard that Xiangyang Wang Renyi is bold, and he would never do such a thing. Use chicken feathers as arrows."

The housekeeper frowned even deeper. He looked at the young man in front of him, and said unhappily, "Why do you people from the Jianghu join in the fun of our folk affairs?"

"Hey, I'm a disciple of Tianji Sect." The young man cupped his fists and said with a smile: "It also has something to do with the Xiangyang Palace, why don't I ask if this is what the Xiangyang King meant?"

The butler stared, hesitated for a moment, and then walked away.

After the butler went downstairs, the young man turned around, clasped his hands, showed his most handsome smile, and said, "The three of you are frightened, please... eh?"

At this moment, Yang Jinhua and the others had already stood up, and they also went downstairs. Seeing that the three of them ignored him, the young man straightened up with a sneer, feeling a little lost.

Because Yang Jinhua and Zhao Bilian wore married women's hairstyles, the young hero's goal was actually Pang Meier, who was the prettiest and who was dressed as an unmarried girl.

It has to be said that Pang Meier is the most beautiful of the three, with a dignified air and a bookish air of a talented woman, she looks very charming, so it's no wonder that this young man is so excited.

"Junior brother, you have finally bumped into the south wall." An older Jianghu man came over and patted the young man on the shoulder: "The other party is either rich or expensive, and he looks down on us vulgar people."

The young man sighed and said, "It's rare to meet a woman who you feel good at a glance, and I don't know if there is a relationship."

"It's really not possible, let's follow up quietly to see which woman it is, and let the master find a way to propose marriage later."

"Women in the tail, it's not what we and others do." The young hero shook his head, sat back on his table, and sighed.

Speaking of the butler, after he took two servants downstairs, he went to an alley behind.

There was a young man waiting anxiously inside. When he saw the housekeeper coming, he rushed up and asked, "Why are there only three of you? Didn't you ask you to invite those three girls back to the house?"

The Hakka clasped his fists and said: "Those three women are extraordinary, noble and eloquent, and they are not timid when they hear about our palace. They should probably come from the capital in the north."

"I don't care where they come from. When they come to my Hangzhou city and my family's territory, we have to take care of them." The young man was so angry that he swept the butler's cheek with the fan in his hand: "Let you If you can't do something well, what's the use of it?"

There was a red mark on the butler's cheek, but he didn't move, he just lowered his head and said, "I'm ashamed of the third son's entrustment."

"Don't wait here, go and help me find out where the three girls are staying today." The young man snorted, "The clothes on them are not simple, if you can get the source of goods and technology, my father will definitely think highly of them." With a glance, I might even beat big brother. There are a lot of people staring at them now, if we don’t act first, we might miss it.”

The butler nodded, and was about to do something again, when he turned around, he saw two men in black walking from the alley.

"Who are you?" The housekeeper yelled, feeling a little uneasy.

Then the two men in black ignored him and walked up quickly, showing strange smiles at the same time.

Yang Jinhua and the others returned to the mountain before dark, greeted Lu Sen, and went to soak in the hot spring.

Lu Sen sat at the entrance of the cave, enjoying the cool breeze.

Soon, a man in black reported in front of him: "Lang Jun, that's the way it is. The young man is indeed the third son of the Wang family in Xiangyang, but he didn't want to rob the sex, but he wanted to know the rainbow colors on the three wives." Where does the silk come from?"

Lu Sen nodded, indicating that he understood.

This is indeed one of his purposes.

"Tell Huang Da that the second step of the plan can begin."

The man in black nodded, turned around and left.

The three of Yang Jinhua went shopping for only one day, but the effect it brought was sensational.

Many family members of wealthy businessmen and officials were discussing who belonged to the three women that day, and where the rainbow silk on their bodies came from.

Moreover, this matter is becoming more and more serious, and there are more and more rumors, and it seems that some forces are fueling the flames.

Then on the fourth day, another strange thing happened. The third son of the King of Xiangyang, who had been missing for three days, was found lying outside the city, holding a beautiful red silk in his hand.

This matter suddenly became a strange talk, and many people began to visit Xiangyang Palace.

Within two or three days, there was an endless stream of guests.

A few days later, news suddenly broke out that a big merchant from the capital was going to auction a hundred bolts of rainbow silk in the city.

It became an instant hot topic.

Many merchants are holding on to the bank notes in their hands, and they start looking for someone to collect money if they don't have enough. Everyone knows that this auction is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The merchants all knew that a new kind of such beautiful colored silk would definitely become a hit in the market.

All the noble and female family members will be crazy about this kind of rainbow silk, and they will break each other's brains in order to get a piece of rainbow silk.

They don't want many, as long as they get one... Whether it's for buying or selling, or as a gift for dignitaries, it's a very cost-effective business.
