Chapter 39 Kesi
Speaking of Han Qingwan's temperament, she is more like the old lady, forbearing and hiding, always pretending to be impeccable.

It wasn't until she had almost reached the pinnacle of power that she slowly took off her disguise, at least in front of Han Youning, she no longer worked so hard to hide it.

Han Qingwan didn't take action easily by herself, and had been acting as a peacemaker, using Han Qinglian as a knife to frame her frequently.

The two of them fought fiercely, and neither of them ended well in the end, while Han Qingwan watched the fire from the other side, gaining both fame and fortune.

Han Youning smiled and said, "I don't think the second cousin is outspoken, so it's good to say what you have to say clearly."

A few words solved Han Qingwan's instigation.

Han Qingwan didn't show it on the surface, but in her heart she began to have a different understanding of Han Youning than before.

Not all fat people are stupid.The fat cousin in front of her seemed to be able to read people's minds. She ignored her friendliness from the very beginning, and could always find loopholes in her words, and she could turn the situation around with a little skill.

She also heard from her second brother about the matter at the pier yesterday, and Chen Youning actually played tricks on her while talking and laughing.

This is not a fool, it is clearly extremely cunning!

Han Qingwan cheered up and smiled gently, "My cousin is right. I can't speak so well and nicely."

Han Youning said softly, "Words are the voice of the heart, and words are the seedlings of the heart. The meaning of what you say is determined in your heart. If you don't want it to sound good in your heart, it will naturally not sound good."

She smiled, looked at Han Qingwan's face, her tone was still indifferent, "Look, I'm not happy now, although what I said wasn't too bad, aren't you also unhappy?"

The smile on Han Qingwan's face was almost unbearable.She is so unabashedly sharp, because she doesn't have to put on a show without the prince and all the officials around!

She clenched her hands and said calmly, "Cousin really knows how to joke, we are all sisters, how could I be unhappy."

"If you feel happy, then you are happy."

Han Youning's expression was indifferent, and he sat aside and ate his snacks with downcast eyes.

In contrast, Han Qingwan obviously lost her usual composure, and there was already a gloomy look in her eyes.

All the people in the room and the servants were amazed, this cousin lady is too domineering!
The eldest lady is so amiable, but she is so ignorant of good and evil!
Han Qinglian gave Han Youning a sideways look. Although she still looked at the inferior people with contempt in her eyes, she was still happy to see Han Qingwan choked to the end.

Han Qingwan is too perfect, too shining, with her, no matter how good-looking she is, she is just an inconspicuous wildflower next to the rich peony.

In the eyes of those high-ranking disciples, only the eldest daughter of Duke Dingguo's mansion flattered Han Qingwan, who could see the existence of her concubine?
She was born with the life of a phoenix, and she can be a princess and a queen in the future.

As for myself, I was born as a concubine, so at most I can only marry a concubine with a low family background, or a scholar from a poor family.

A young lady from the same mansion, born to the same father, such a vastly different fate, how could she be reconciled?
Han Qinglian looked at Han Qingwan with a smile, and pretended to be innocent, "My cousin's theory is quite interesting. According to my cousin, the elder sister hates her in her heart?"

Han Qingwan glanced at her, "Second sister, you're being naughty again."

She knows that the best way to deal with criticism from others is to be silent and calm.

She calmly sat beside Han Youning, her eyes fell on Han Youning's dress, and her eyes shrank suddenly.

Han Youning was dressed in plain white. She thought it was just plain white silk embroidered with flowing clouds and dark patterns, but after a closer look, she found that the dress was pure and clean, misty and exquisite.Although there are only two colors of plain white and light blue, there seem to be dozens of combinations of white and blue gradients. Although it is plain, it has a sense of radiance carved out——

This is clearly Kesi!

The technique of Kesi is complicated, and even a skilled craftsman may not be able to weave three feet a year.Therefore, Kesi is extremely precious and rare. There is a saying that "one inch of Kesi is one inch of gold", and it has always been only for the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Even for the empresses in the palace, those who can get Kesi to make clothes are only those with high status.

The emperor occasionally rewarded meritorious ministers, most of which were Shu brocades, but very few rewards for Kesi.

A few years ago, my uncle won a big battle. The emperor was happy and rewarded him with a piece of Kesi.It is said to be one piece, but in fact it is not worth half a piece of cloth next to it, but it is only about ten feet.

The uncle gave it to the grandmother, and the grandmother invited the embroiderer from the famous Jinxiu workshop in central Beijing to measure and calculate it repeatedly for several days before she cut it with scissors, trying not to waste any fabric.

The embroidery lady used that piece of tapestry to make a girdle, a waistcoat, and a handkerchief, and made two purses by piecing together the leftovers.

She and Han Qinglian got one of the purses, and although they couldn't see the pattern, they were happy to wear it for several days when they went out to banquets, and won the envy of all the ladies.

And after the grandmother had new clothes, she specially set up a flower viewing banquet, and invited the noble ladies in Beijing to come to the Duke's mansion to enjoy the flowers.The grandmother's beanie made the noble ladies envy, and established her detached position in the circle of noble ladies in Beijing.Even the concubines of the counties respected her for her amiable appearance.

Now that several years have passed, the beanie and waistcoat are still the treasures of my grandmother's heart, and they are only taken out to wear on important occasions.And those noble ladies would always praise a few words, and they would not feel that the pattern was outdated at all.

After all, it has always been the expensive Kesi and Yunjin that lead the fashion.

But now, Chen Youning is a businesswoman, and her dresses are all made of Kesi!Let's look at the color of the suit, which is just in fashion in Beijing this year!

No matter how rich their Chen family is, they are lowly merchants after all. It is a crime of disrespect to use imperial possessions. They want to...

decapitated.

Han Qingwan put away the strange look in her eyes, and tightly clutched the tapestry purse at her waist, which she took out specially for use today.

She smiled and said, "Cousin's clothes are very pretty, and the moiré pattern looks real."

Han Youning has no sense of pride in wearing Kesi clothes, and his tone is casual and indifferent, "I am in the filial piety period, so I can only wear plain clothes, and I can't wear flowers."

Han Qingwan took a sip of tea, "What my cousin said is true."

After hearing what Han Qingwan said, the old lady and Xiao Wen also looked at Han Youning.

The old lady's eyes moved slightly. She was far away now, but the lines on the dress became clearer. Those clouds were three-dimensional and realistic, as if they were floating on the dress.

No one knows what kind of material this is better than her.

On her beige, the camellias on it are lifelike, blooming in the air, even attracting butterflies to fall on it when visiting the garden.

Kesi.

The Chen family really relied on the height of the sky and the emperor's distance, and they were lawless.

Xiao Wen also noticed the problem, and just about to speak, she heard the sound of the old lady's tea cup, she followed the prestige, and saw the old lady shook her head slightly.
