Chapter 185: Lady Wei's Elaborate Embroidery
Compared with the spacious house and the elegant living environment of evergreen all seasons, Shanhefangli has an advantage that is incomparable to other places.
The water source here is quite superior.
The development history of the ancient city of Chang'an was much longer than that of the Tang Dynasty. Since the pre-Qin period, it has been a fortress city with many residents.
After experiencing generations, for Chang'an City, merchants have mingled with each other and the economy is booming, but an important living resource is gradually degrading.
That is the drinking water source in Chang'an City.
According to historical records, after entering the Tang Dynasty, it was mentioned many times that the well water in Chang'an City was salty and bitter and should not be drunk.
The reason is that these wells are old and have been mined for too long, so the water quality is naturally getting worse and worse.
The people who have no choice but to search for new well-driving addresses within the area of Fangcheng to obtain fresh water.
Compared with them who are struggling, the residents of Shanhefang can rest assured and be happy to be a stretcher.
Who made them the emperor's neighbor?
As the highest symbol of the Tang Empire, the privileged class, the big and small figures in the imperial city must drink good water.
Coincidentally, there was such a well in Shanhefang. Historically, it was said that the well water was extremely sweet and without any impurities. Since Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor, he set the well in Shanhefang as an imperial water well. Every day, cars came and went, all of them were teams to transport the well water into the palace.
This well is used by the royal family. Although the Wei clan is much closer to this well than the imperial city, it cannot be moved without any action.
Fortunately, the water source in a place is sweet and has a fixed range, and it will not be limited to that small circle.
It can be said that the quality of the water source in Shanhefang is good. Although it is slightly worse than that of the Imperial Well, compared with the residents of other Lifang, the well water in Wei's house tastes in the sky.
With such sweet and beautiful water and strong tea made from fresh tea leaves, Wei Jinu, the number one beauty in the capital, had never drunk a mouthful of it.
Is she not thirsty?
No.
She didn't care about it at all.
The hibiscus copper plate is placed next to the table, and the needle and thread are all bright and beautiful colors. Wei Jinu's lap and crow-colored robe are spread on it.
The bright huge gap has been properly processed, and there are no rag strips, only a small hole left.
Wei Jinu put the embroidery Kuang on it and carefully compared it. It was good, it was just the right size.
"Madam, just sew it, why bother embroidery? I think it's really a waste of time." The maid beside him looked at Wei Jinu's pretty operation and had to tell the truth.
This robe is obviously from a husband. I don’t know which noble family is from the city. He actually has such good luck and can get embroidered by his wife.
You should know that in addition to the famous name of the No. 1 beauty in the capital, Wei Jinu is also one of the best embroidery workers among noble and relatives.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be as tall as that.
"What do you know? If that guy hadn't been messing around and asking me to help him sew his clothes, I wouldn't have bothered."
"But since I have handed this dress in my hands, I must not be vague. In fact, if I handed over the clothes, I will lose my face."
"People should say that my embroidery worker is not worthy of his name, and they are all bragging and can't even show off."
"So that's it. My wife is really far-scheming." Several little maids agreed repeatedly, and Wei Jinu's face changed colorlessly and had already started to thread the needle.
How could these little girls understand her thoughts? Pei Fanxian actually wanted to trip her up, who did he think he was?
"But, madam, what pattern are you embroidering?"
There are already some patterns on this embroidered cloth, which were all embroidered early in the morning. Although the maids’ embroidery skills are not as good as Wei Jinu, they can still see the tricks.
From the direction and color of this pattern, they always feel that it is not the flowers or fruits they usually embroider. But they can't think of what it is.
"What, can't you tell?"
"It's true that I can't tell." The little maids' heads were shaking as if they were rattles.
Wei Jinu summoned them to his eyes and whispered: "Actually... this is..."
The girls were shocked: "Madam, how can this thing be embroidered onto the clothes?"
"Why can't it?"
"He just asked me to sew it on. I could embroider him with a special treatment. What else do he want?"
Wei Jinu was proud and she never did anything to suffer. The maids looked confused. It would be better not to embroider this trick...
…………
People die for money, and birds die for food.
Mr. Wei loves money and wants to live, so he doesn't have to mention his face. He can't be ranked in front of money.
Although Wei Ling's ambition was slightly restrained in front of Pei Fanxian that day, relying on his fair share of shame.
But when he returned home, he thought about it carefully and felt that he had to stretch out his sinful little hand no matter what.
There is no way, the money is there, and ** is there, it cannot be resolved by others in just a few words.
However, Pei Fanxian's words were not useless. Compared with the previous plan, Wei Ling was much more cautious.
When it is late at night, people will commit crimes and commit evil deeds.
As dusk approaches, the Xishi Office, which has been busy for a day, gradually calms down. Some minor officials who have families and businesses in Fangcheng leave one after another.
It is not easy to live in Chang'an. It is definitely not easy to build a house in Chang'an City that is still worth seeing.
Although there are many spare places in Chang'an City, and even abandoned rice fields and wheat fields, those places are too far away from the office and the transportation is inconvenient. Live in that kind of place, and it worked hard to get up early, and when you arrived at the work site, it was almost noon.
Therefore, many small officials who don’t have enough money will choose to stay in their office locations, especially those with large houses like the West City Bureau are their first choice.
So, although the office hours have passed, the city office is still quite lively and there are many people. Several officials and servants who are guarding the door and doing odd jobs together, calling and playing money.
They were in high spirits and muttered:
Lululu!
Pheasant, pheasant, pheasant!
"Hey, where is the city chief?"
In the warm atmosphere, there were still people who remained rational. Soon, they discovered that Wei Ling and Wei Shicheng, who were almost never absent, disappeared.
"I don't know, maybe I'm going home. I heard that his wife and mother-in-law had a quarrel again, and they all touched each other. I guess the city chief went back to persuade the fight!"
"Wei Shicheng is also a pitiful person. No one of the wives in the family can worry about it. No wonder he loves money so much!"
The little official's sigh was soon unanimously recognized by his colleagues. It is really gratifying that Wei Shicheng was obsessed with making money every day. After several years, he finally discovered it by them.
You can continue to bet a few more games!
As the sound of shouting was heard, the city office was in a side courtyard, and the small ear room was closed, and some low voices were heard from time to time, but because of the noise in the front yard, no one paid attention to it.
“This place is too hot!”
Although the little official has been trying hard to fan Wei Shicheng, he cannot change the current midsummer, and this ear room is really small.
The smaller the place, the higher the temperature in the room. Although ancient people did not know what the temperature was, they also understood this truth.
"City Chief, otherwise I will open the windows and ventilate them."
"No need, it's more important to cover up."
The little official sighed and could only endure it with him.
