Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1241

So Zhu Yuxuan lowered his head and thought for a while, and immediately made a decision.

"It's definitely too late to find a tailor now. There are several ready-made clothing shops in the capital with excellent craftsmanship. Let's go check it out!"

"Time is limited, so let's wear ready-made clothes first. I have a few pieces of Xiangyun silk at home that my father gave me as a reward. I will make you some clothes later."

"I have some shimmering brocade material left over from making clothes. I'll give it to you too. It should be enough to make handkerchiefs and undergarments."

From Zhu Yuxuan's words, we can see how good she is to these four little girls. She even gave Xiangyunsha and Fuguangjin to them.

Xiangyunsha, also known as ramie yarn, is an expensive fabric produced in the Lingnan area of ​​Guangdong Province. It is even known as soft gold.

This kind of fabric was considered a luxury even in the Ming Dynasty. Even if you were rich, you couldn't use it. You had to have status.

As Duke Wu of Wei and the Duke of Daming, his concubines were allowed to wear it, as long as they paid attention to the patterns and colors.

Moreover, whether in private or public, the concubine's clothing must be significantly lower than that of the wife to highlight the difference in status.

But this is nothing. The really amazing thing is the Floating Light Brocade, which can be said to be a luxury among luxuries.

Among brocade fabrics, the four most famous brocades in China are Nanjing Yunjin, Sichuan Shujin, Suzhou Songjin and Guangxi Zhuangjin.

Among them, Yunjin is known as the first of the four famous brocades. There is a saying that every inch of brocade is worth its weight in gold. It is regarded as exclusive to the royal family and is strictly prohibited for private use.

Why do we say Yunjin instead of Fuguangjin? Because Fuguangjin is more precious than Yunjin, so it is said to be a luxury among luxuries.

Yunjin can be mass-produced and has a relatively stable output, so it is more suitable for making daily high-end clothing.

However, the annual output of floating brocade was extremely low. Only official institutions such as the Jiangning Weaving Factory made it specially for the court, and it was not circulated on the market at all.

Therefore, things made of it are more suitable for collection, or worn on very special occasions.

Even few concubines in the palace had this thing. Although Princess Zhu Yuxuan was noble, she didn't have it either.

It was because of her marriage to Wei Wu that Zhu Yuanzhang gave her a horse as a dowry, allowing Zhu Yuxuan to have this good material.

Later, Zhu Yuxuan used this piece of floating brocade to make three sets of clothes, and then made a nightgown and a bellyband according to Wei Wu's wishes.

Wei Wu really liked the silky feel of the floating brocade and its luster that looked like flowing light.

(If you’re interested, you can search it. I really want a cheongsam made of floating brocade, but unfortunately my wallet is crying o(╥﹏╥)o!)

The remaining material is not enough to make a complete set of clothes, but it is enough to make a few handkerchiefs and robes.

Under Zhu Yuxuan's arrangement, the five women went to all the clothing stores in the capital before they bought all the clothes.

When Wei Wu came back, Qingxia and the other three had all changed into beautiful clothes that fit them well.

However, although he was very moved, Wei Wu did not let them serve him that night, but chose to stay with Zhu Yuxuan.

The next morning, after Wei Wu got up, he was dazzled to see Fu Qiu, who had been carefully dressed up by Qingxia and the others.

But he didn't say anything, just took the six girls, five adults and one child, on an elephant carriage and rushed to the train station.

Originally, Wei Wu thought that the interior space of the elephant carriage was large enough for everyone to travel together.

As a result, Wei Wu regretted his decision as soon as he went out. The elephant carriage could seat many people, but it could not accommodate so many people outside.

The huge carriage, like an elephant, could not move fast on the road. The huge crowds of people blocked the road, just like a traffic jam.

But there was nothing that could be done about it. After all, it was the first railway officially put into operation in the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Biao had issued another decree.
