Shen Lang hasn't come out yet, but the purple silk dyed by the Xu family has been placed on the table.
At this time, dozens of candles were lit in the entire hall, which was as bright as day.
Against the backdrop of countless candles, the purple silk is particularly eye-catching.
The most outstanding dyeing craftsman of the Xu family bowed and said: "Master, Miss, this is our new purple dye. It is no longer made from a mixture of blue and red, but extracted from a kind of comfrey. We strive for perfection so It has not been put on the market, but the dyeing effect is much better than before."
Master Xu, Lin Mo and others looked at the purple silk by the candlelight.
Sure enough, it is much more vivid, and it is a qualitative leap from the previous purple dye.
Not only is the purity of the color much higher, but it is also brighter by more than one level. It is really an excellent new purple dye, and the Xu family is going to make a fortune again.
The young prison official took a closer look at the silk in his hand, and had to admit that this brand new purple was indeed very good. Although he is not a nobleman, he is also from a famous family, and he especially prefers purple brocade, and he has a very good appreciation for this aspect.
Xu Qianqian said, "Craftsman Xu, you can talk to some adults about the new golden yellow dye."
The most outstanding dyeing craftsman of the Xu family said: "My lords, the villain's family has done the dyeing work for generations, and the villain also loves to study since childhood. Especially the yellow color is exclusively for the monarch, so the villain puts most of it. I put all my energy into yellow and purple, I have experimented with hundreds of raw materials, and Huaimi is one of them, here is the original record book of the villain to prove it."
After all, he handed in a booklet.
This young official in charge of the prison of Xuanwu City is one of the several masters of the City Lord's Mansion.
He took it over and looked through it, and there were indeed dense records of various tried recipes, including pagoda rice. And it's been a while since the handwriting, it's not a fake.
"This Shen Lang used to be the uncle of the Xu family, but he was looked down upon by others because of his low intelligence. For some reason, he actually came to my dyeing room for a walk. When I was experimenting with Huai Mi for a new dye, he saw it. .” said the dyeing craftsman.
He didn't lie completely, he did experiment with using Huai Mi as a yellow dye, but he didn't know adding alum to it to brighten it, this is the most critical step, of course it won't work if it's missing. And because of the process, the color he extracted from Huai Mi was not outstanding, so his Huai Mi formula was considered a failure.
In the past, Shen Lang often went to the dyeing room for a walk, and it was true that he liked to see these colorful things.
It is based on the above reasons that Master Xu and Xu Qianqian have absolute confidence that this golden yellow dye formula was not researched by Shen Lang himself.
These two people really know Shen Lang's ability too well, a moron who really knows nothing.
Xu Patriarch said: "My lords, there are all the witnesses and material evidence at this time, so we can arrest them."
Although he was talking about the adults, his eyes were fixed on the young lord master. If it wasn't for this stupefied young man, Shen Lang would have arrested him a long time ago.
The young official looked at the booklet and at the brand new purple dyed silk in his hand, and nodded involuntarily.
"It seems to be the case." He said lightly.
"Come here, go and capture Shen Lang inside." Patriarch Xu shouted.
Then, without waiting for the officials to make a move, the warriors of the Xu family rushed in directly.
At this time, the door to the backyard was pushed open, and Shen Lang walked out.
Patriarch Xu said coldly: "Shen Lang, there are all the witnesses and material evidence now, just wait to go to prison!"
Shen Lang immediately looked at the young official, who said indifferently: "All the evidence points to your theft."
Shen Lang looked at the piece of purple silk on the table and couldn't help being startled.
Is this the Xu family's new purple dye? Compared to before, I don't know where Gao Ming went
This color is very pure and very bright!
but…
Compared with Shen Lang's purple dye extracted from litmus lichen, there is still a big gap.
The purple dye extracted from comfrey is still too monotonous, and a little pale, without aura.
Shen Lang immediately smiled and said: "Xu Qianqian, the purple color of the silk in front of you is indeed the highest level of your Xu family, right? There is absolutely no secret!"
"No." Xu Qianqian said: "Shen Lang, unless the purple dye you made is better than mine, you are still a shameless thief. Not only did you steal the golden yellow dye formula, but you also stole the new purple dye formula." , It’s really hard to guard against a house thief!”
Without saying a word, Shen Lang took out the purple silk he dyed and placed it in front of everyone!
In an instant, the eyes of Master Xu and Lin Mo suddenly brightened. The two first showed unbelievable expressions, and then looked extremely greedy.
The biggest fear of anything is comparison.
Looking at the purple silk of the Xu family before, I thought it was not bad, but now compared with the purple silk dyed by Shen Lang, the gap is completely visible.
Although the silk dyed by the Xu family was already very pure purple, it was too thin and looked cheap and gaudy.
However, the purple dyed by Shen Lang's silk is deep and vivid, not on the same level at all.
There is no need for people to judge the winner or loser at all, and the winner can be judged at a glance.
Shen Lang sneered and said, "Patriarch Xu, Xu Qianqian, is it possible that my new purple dye stole from your family again?"
Patriarch Xu and Xu Qianqian couldn't help but look at each other, feeling extremely surprised.
What's going on
Shen Lang has been married to her family for a few months, she knows best, mentally retarded, ignorant, completely useless, doesn't understand anything.
The reason why I was able to come up with the golden yellow dye formula before was entirely because I saw countless experiments by Craftsman Xu, and it was extremely accidental to discover that this kind of Sophora japonica and alum mixed together will produce a bright yellow color.
This kind of thing is very coincidental, but it is also normal.
Over the past few hundred years, countless new dye formulations have been discovered by accident.
Therefore, this competition should be a sure win.
Originally, the Xu family could directly use their connections and warriors to arrest Shen Lang, but the young master was a stunned young man, who actually stopped him and insisted on giving Shen Lang a chance to defend himself. Of course the Xu family is not afraid of a master, but the other party is also considered to be from a famous family, and is in charge of prisons. Today's matter can be regarded as the home of the master.
So the Xu family also had to give face, which gave Shen Lang a chance to compete, and Xu Qianqian knew Shen Lang too well, knowing that he would never win.
Xu Qianqian's idea was originally right, but she never thought that the stupid Shen Lang before was dead, and the Shen Lang in front of her was the soul of the earthling who had traveled over.
Shen Lang sneered: "Could it be that the color of this piece of silk is not obvious enough? What about this piece?"
Immediately afterwards, he took out his trump card, rainbow silk!
Under the countless candlelights that are as bright as day, this rainbow silk is beautiful and amazing.
Everyone took a deep breath!
How can this be
So gorgeous, so spiritual.
It is colorful, but not gaudy at all, and the transition of key colors is so natural.
If the purple silk that Shen Lang took out before was a great victory, then this brand new rainbow dyed silk was completely crushed, making the piece of purple silk from the Xu family so vulgar and unsightly.
Shen Lang asked with a smile: "Patriarch Xu, Xu Qianqian, could it be that my new rainbow silk dye formula was also stolen from the Xu family?"
There seemed to be a slapping sound in the air.
Patriarch Xu and Xu Qianqian looked at Shen Lang in surprise
For this son-in-law, did they miss something
He is so proficient in the art of dyeing, why does Xu Qianqian know nothing about it
This kind of dyeing technique may not be very useful to other families, but it is very useful to the Xu family, and it can completely improve the Xu family's business.
In ancient times, silk was almost the same, the key lies in dyeing.
Once the color skills are far superior to competitors, the silk and cloth business can be invincible.
Originally thought that Shen Lang was a complete waste, but he didn't expect to have a unique and superb skill.
I never expected it!
Shen Lang said to the young official: "My lord, please uphold justice."
The young chief bookkeeper glanced at the head of the Xu family and said, "Please confirm, did Shen Lang steal the purple dye and the rainbow silk dye from the Xu family?"
Immediately, Patriarch Xu's face twitched.
This young master is really a stunned young man. When he left the city lord's mansion, didn't his superior hint clearly
Xu Qianqian's fiancé is the son of the county sheriff. Don't you want to offend the Zhang family
Patriarch Xu glanced at the young master with resentment in his heart, and really thought of driving him away from office.
But that also requires behind-the-scenes operations, at least the sheriff needs to do it, and on the surface, he, a businessman, cannot be rude to a master.
"No!" Patriarch Xu said coldly.
The young master looked at Xu Qianqian and said, "Miss Xu, what do you think? Did Shen Lang steal the formula of purple dye and iridescent dye from your house?"
Xu Qianqian narrowed her beautiful eyes, and she could see that this young chief bookkeeper was not just stunned, he was hostile to the Xu family in his heart.
Does the Xu family have any trouble with him? Or did Zhang Jin have a feud with him
How dare this young master book dare to fight against the in-laws of the county sheriff
"No." Xu Qianqian said indifferently.
"Since it's not the case, then Shen Lang has been wronged." The young master lord said: "Patriarch Xu, Miss Xu, both of you should apologize to Shen Lang!"
Patriarch Xu was about to explode in anger, snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and left directly.
After Xu Qianqian's face changed a few times, she gave a slight blessing to Shen Lang and said, "I'm sorry, because of some misunderstandings before, I wronged you, so I leave!"
Then, her graceful and graceful figure also left slowly.
She had already decided that Zhang Jin would take revenge on the young master immediately after she returned, and officials hostile to the Xu family would never be allowed to exist in Xuanwu City.
After Xu Qianqian left.
Shen Lang bowed his hands to the young master and saluted: "Thank you, master, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come here without any problems! How is your brother in recent years? How is Miss Jin from the Earl of Xuanwu's mansion?"
