The reason why Bai Fuling obediently agreed to come to this kind of party that she was not interested in at all was to promote the new products and VIP plan of Nylon Embroidery Workshop next year. Originally, she was still thinking about how to present the advertisement without any trace, but a passer-by immediately popped up to help, and the cooperation was perfect, even more caring than her own family!
Bai Fuling tried her best to hold back the urge to laugh wildly, and made a shy expression that made Baiguoyangmei Qiqi roll her eyes, and said softly: "It's not embroidered, this golden makeup satin is woven in twenty-four colors."
"What?" Not only was the lady in blue who asked the question surprised, but the wives and ladies around her all shifted their eyes to Bai Fuling's brocade jacket.
According to legend, the queen of the former dynasty once had a dress made of eighteen-color makeup brocade. Later, because of the war, the palace was burned down, and even this dress was burned to ashes, and she was able to weave eighteen-color makeup flowers. Satin craftsmen died and disappeared during the war. This miraculous fabric eventually became a legend. Occasionally someone was able to weave it, and the colors were very poor. Delicate and gorgeous.
Now that I heard that there are luxurious fabrics that are even better than eighteen-color damask, how can the women present not be excited? ! Each of them looked like a very hungry wolf, eager to glue their eyes to Bai Fuling's dazzling brocade jacket. Master He from Nylon Embroidery Workshop is no longer worth mentioning.
No matter how well needlework embroidery is done, it can still be imagined and imitated. As long as one has enough patience and financial resources, it is within reach. But the unheard of 24-color makeup brocade is simply a mythical existence.
Some of the young ladies and wives were also suspicious, and purposely leaned against Bai Fuling to carefully identify the pattern and color of the pattern on her brocade jacket. The result surprised and envied them, it was really twenty-four colors, and there was absolutely no trace of later weaving and embroidery processing.
Just now everyone was intimidated by Bai Fuling's complexion. They only felt that the clothes on her body were bright and gorgeous. They completely forgot to see what kind of clothes were used, how the handwork was, and so on. .
The floral satin brocade jacket has intricate and exquisite patterns, and under different lights, the color of the brocade jacket will have different and subtle changes. The white lacquered pleated skirt covered under the brocade jacket has not only the normal straight creases, but also some fine concave and convex creases in conjunction with the lacquered flowers on it. When walking, the golden patterns seem to be It flows and floats on the skirt, which is too beautiful to behold.
All the wives surrounded Bai Fuling in amazement and asked about the origin of this dress.
As the host, Mrs. Yin was not dissatisfied at all when she saw that a plum appreciation event turned into a clothing and fabric show, and instead asked questions like other wives.
Bai Fuling looked helpless when pressed by them, and stammered out the standard answer: "The dresses are all made in Nylon Embroidery Workshop."
"Nylon Embroidery Workshop?! Why have I never heard that Nylon Embroidery Workshop can weave 24 colors of satin? And this pleated skirt, the craftsmanship is completely different from the style of Nylon Embroidery Workshop this year." Mrs. Yin interjected. , as soon as he heard this tone, he was an old customer of Nylon Embroidery Workshop.
"The shopkeeper said that they bought this damask by accident from a foreign caravan, and they planned to release it next year. Because the quantity is very small, only her family's VIPs are eligible to customize it... She is looking at the friendship between her mother and Princess Antai. It was because they let me try new ones. As for the skirts, they will be released next year." Bai Fuling looked innocent, as if she was happy to find a cheap one by chance.
A VIP from Nylon Embroidery Workshop? Ladies and wives have never heard that Nylon Embroidery Workshop has VIPs and ordinary guests, but if you openly ask, it will appear that you are too ignorant, and everyone looks strange, thinking about going back and sending someone to the embroidery workshop to ask, but not Knowing what conditions are required to become a VIP, you must do it as soon as possible. Even the former empress can't wear these twenty-four-colored brocades. If you can get one, this life will be worth it! Wearing it to attend banquets, big or small, it should be a face-saving thing.
Bai Fuling is very satisfied with the effect of this kind of advertisement. The twenty-four-color makeup satin is produced by Aunt Tong, who is in charge of Beiguancheng Embroidery Village. It is now ready for small-scale production.
Because there is no industrial mass production like modern weaving factories here, the output is extremely low. Even if Bai Fuling finds many craftsmen to transform tools for them, they still cannot reach the speed of ordinary silk weaving. It will take ten months to weave one piece out of one foot. So from the very beginning, Bai Fuling positioned it as a high-end luxury product, sold in limited quantities, and specially chose to test the water in the capital city where high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen gather.
This dress with floral satin was made by Mrs. Tong herself. The first batch of ten pieces of floral satin was sent to Jinlun Embroidery Workshop before Bai Fuling arrived in Beijing. The reason why it has not been released is because it was a tribute in the previous dynasty. , and so far, the highest achievement is no more than 18 colors. If people know that they can make 24 colors of makeup brocade, I am afraid that they will soon be accepted as a tribute and only used by the royal family.
Not to mention how much money you make from doing business with the royal family, your reputation will inevitably increase, and the risks will also increase accordingly. Not to mention being hated by others, if you have any problems, it may be a felony of beheading and ransacking your home. Moreover, Bai Fuling is not willing to be too high-profile at this time.
To avoid this situation, there is another way, which is to popularize the technology of 24-color makeup brocade, so that everyone can buy it everywhere, which is not uncommon, but in this way, the maximum benefit will not be earned.
After discussing with Bai Wei, Mo Shi and several others, Bai Fuling decided to presume that they all purchased novel fabrics from foreign merchants by accident, and then supplied them irregularly, making them the high-profile products of the new year. The fame can also promote the new VIP system, and avoid the risk of technology being coveted or even restricted as a royal tribute.
As for this pleated skirt, it's just a novel style with a breakthrough in design, and to put it bluntly, it doesn't have much technical content, but it will definitely lead the trend next year when paired with a floral satin brocade jacket.
All the guests chattered and marveled for a while, the owner Mrs. Yin clapped her palms and brought back the topic, inviting everyone to enjoy the plum blossoms. The female relatives were served in twos and threes by the maidservants to enjoy the scenery separately. If they got along well, they got together to talk.
The four daughters of the Deng family were put aside. They have long been used to this situation, but today is different from the past. In the past, others alienated them because of jealousy and dissatisfaction. The envious gazes were their downcast eyes today, Bai Fuling overwhelmed them with everything from appearance to clothing, everyone looked at them as if they were dogs in water, that feeling was especially uncomfortable.
After Bai Fuling's goal was achieved, she didn't want to deal with these wives and ladies anymore. By admiring the flowers, she brought Yunmao, Baiguo, Yangmei and other maids who served her, and wanted to sneak to a remote place to hide. Now, go back and bid farewell to the master.
Mrs. Yin was held back by Mrs. Yin to speak. The two sisters, Huiyun and Huiru, breathed a sigh of relief today. They were just happy. They were busy sharing the happiness with the daughters of the families they had been friends with on weekdays, and they didn't want to show that they were ingratiating to Bai Fuling in front of their friends. So she easily got rid of these people, walked away along the corridor, and found a relatively remote five-cornered kiosk to stay.
Thick curtains were hung on the northwest side of the small pavilion to keep out the harsh north wind, and there were several heaters, so it wasn’t too cold. Bai Fuling dismissed the little maid serving in the pavilion, and sat in the pavilion with Yang Mei and a few others. There is only the sound of the wind in the quiet, and the plum blossoms in different postures are in full bloom against the cold wind.
Bai Guo laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, you got your wish. Although the plum blossoms here are not as good as those in Baili Mountain, they are still very good."
Yang Mei smiled and said: "It is said that the plum grove on Fenxia Ridge is better. It is rare for us to come to the capital. After two days of vacation, you can come here with me to have a look."
People who work in the Bai family have six days off every month, and they take rotations, so Yang Mei said this. The other maids and mothers also echoed, discussing enthusiastically where to go during the holidays.
Bai Fuling was fascinated by the pink plum blossoms blooming on a tree next to the pavilion. This kind of plum blossom was probably the same species as the ones given to her by Haifushi. It was said to be called Yulu Palace Fen. Picked from Xialing Mountain, the aroma and color are the same as the one in front of me, but the person who picks the flowers is dead or alive and has no news...
I don't know what happened to him? Is everything safe and sound now? Bai Fuling exhaled lightly, feeling a little confused.
Having had her experience, life and death are not too important to her, but she just feels pity and reluctance. It is unknown how much hard work, setbacks and luck is needed for Haifushi to have such an achievement in this life, but death means that all these will be completely obliterated. Whether he will have such luck and achievement in his next life is completely unknown number.
It would be a pity if we could never see this handsome young man who blushed even just looking at her, but was bullied by her so much that he was so good at martial arts.
If it wasn't for her, she could only live for another three years, and her regret and sadness would be much deeper.
Bai Fuling didn't know whether her attitude of being a passer-by who looked on coldly was good or not. She only knew that she shouldn't take things too seriously, don't get too connected with others, and the pain of parting would not be so much.
Her parents and Lu Ying are enough for her to worry about. She really shouldn't provoke others for her own sake.
I hope that Haifushi will be safe and sound. If he can come back safely, she will try to keep contact with him as little as possible in the future, so that they will not be sad when they have to part ways in the future.
Bai Guo and the others who were close to Bai Fuling saw her lose her mind towards the plum blossoms, they vaguely guessed that she was thinking of sea pumice, and tacitly agreed not to disturb her. Bai Guo looked around, and suddenly saw a figure flashing behind the big rock not far to the right, she was startled, and shouted loudly: "Who is it?!"
