Embroidered golden branches

Chapter 41 Invitation

Wei Cheng didn't say a word and looked forward with cold eyes.

I saw such a thin figure standing quietly in the distance, as if a gust of wind could blow her away.

She stood quietly, with an expression neither happy nor sad, her eyebrows lowered, as if she was very well-behaved.

But all this is an illusion.

He knew that this woman was stubborn at her core.

Maybe she felt the gaze, so she raised her head and glanced in this direction, then raised her feet and walked slowly closer.

"Hello old lady."

She bowed obediently.

It wasn't until she came closer that the old lady took a closer look and saw that it was Sangsang.

"Sang Sang, have you recovered from your illness?" she asked doubtfully.

She observed that Sangsang's face was pale and frail, and he did not look like he was recovering from his illness.

Sangsang replied softly: "I just woke up and my body is not fully recovered. I heard that you were looking for me, so I came to take a look."

She has never spoken sweet words, but now she tells the truth when she meets the old lady.

"It's nothing else. Do you have the ability to dye cloth?"

There was doubt in her tone, and it was obvious that she didn't believe it.

Sangsang said lightly: "I only know a little bit about it, I can't say I'm proficient."

"Old madam, if you want good quality fabrics, I can find them all over Bianjing for you. Why bother asking her? She is still sick. What if she infects it to you?"

Wei Lingyin curled her lips in dissatisfaction, and looking at Sangsang's expression, she was filled with hatred.

"I know you are filial, but I am curious about how Sangsang dyed the cloth. I heard that the cloth sold out very fast."

She also heard what Wei Cheng said and became curious about Sangsang.

"How fast can it be? Can't you dye all the cloth? Could it be that he is still the Nine Heaven Fairy who descended to earth?" Wei Lingyin dismissed this and even sneered.

She didn't believe that Sang Sang, a sick man, could dye something that would make the world and gods cry.

She grew up in fine clothing and fine food, and was used to seeing all kinds of fine fabrics. Could it be that Sangsang had seen more than she did?She didn't believe it.

Listening to what Wei Lingyin said, the old lady also looked like she suddenly realized that no matter how dyed cloth was, it could only be dyed in a few colors. She had never heard of any color that was rising in the capital. It should just be Brother Cheng's randomness. Let’s talk about it.

Just as he was thinking about it, Wei Cheng, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.

"Recently, a kind of fabric has become popular in the capital. It was dyed by her. Now it is hard to find."

Upon hearing this, everyone was so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths from ear to ear.

Especially Wei Lingyin, couldn't believe her ears at all.

If these words had come from someone else's mouth, she would definitely not believe it, but these words were said by Wei Cheng.

She frowned and looked at Sangsang.

I saw her standing not far away like a weak willow. She always had a low eyebrow and looked very useless.

Can such a woman dye cloth that is hard to find?

The old lady said in surprise: "Seriously? Sangsang, you are really amazing."

In fact, Sangsang was quite surprised in her heart. She didn't know that the fabric she dyed was already hard to find.She had sent two maids out to inquire before, but they didn't hear any news. After all, the two of them had no contact with high-ranking people.

Sangsang was extremely happy in her heart, but her face remained very calm.

She said modestly: "It's just good luck."

"Why do you say that?" The old lady frowned, not understanding what Sangsang meant.

Sangsang explained: "The prevailing wind direction in the capital will change at any time. It happens to be autumn now, and most people like warm colors. I just tried it, but I didn't expect so many people to like it. I'm just lucky."

"Yes! It's just bad luck!" Wei Lingyin shouted dissatisfied.

The old lady chuckled and said: "You don't have to be so self-effacing. It's your ability to be liked by so many people. Since you are accomplished in this area, why not look at making a living in this area in the future..."

Upon hearing this, Sangsang was shocked, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.

Is the old lady planning to let her dye cloth?
But the hope was dashed in the next second.

Wei Cheng said coldly: "It is not appropriate for women to show themselves in public. It is enough to dye cloth occasionally. If you do such a job, I am afraid it will damage the reputation of our Wei family."

Wei Lingyin also echoed: "Yes, yes, how can a woman show up in public? Even if she is with those workers, she will be gossiped about when she can't sleep. She doesn't think it's embarrassing, but I still think it's embarrassing."

Sangsang's eyes dimmed for a while, and he knew in his heart that if the two people refused, the old lady would definitely listen.

She had no intention of dyeing cloth, let alone showing off, but when the two said this, she also cut off her path to freedom.

"I didn't think well enough." The old lady took back what she just said.

Sangsang raised his eyes, looked at her seriously and said, "I heard that there is a small dyeing room in our house, which is full of female relatives. I would like to borrow it and show you the dyed cloth."

She didn't want to stay in the small world in the courtyard, even if she just walked around in the Wei Mansion.

Hearing what Sangsang said, Wei Cheng frowned slightly and looked at her subconsciously.

What trick is she trying to do?
The old lady agreed almost without thinking.

Ever since Wei Cheng mentioned that Sangsang could dye cloth, he had been curious. Now that he had such an opportunity, he wanted to see with his own eyes what the cloth worth thousands of gold dyed by Sangsang looked like.

"Okay! You can go to the dyeing workshop anytime."

After hearing the answer that satisfied him, Sangsang's face lit up with joy and he looked at her with shining eyes.

"Thank you old lady!"

"Old madam, my illness has almost recovered. I will go back to my yard today. If you need anything, call me again."

Seeing that the old lady was okay after seeing her, Sangsang made a suggestion.

The old lady nodded and said with a smile: "Go back and take good care of yourself. By the way, there is a Mid-Autumn Festival party tonight. You are not weak, so come and join in."

Sangsang was stunned for a moment, and originally wanted to refuse, but seeing the kind smile on the old lady's face, she couldn't bear to refuse, so she nodded slightly, turned around and retreated.

As she walked along, the expression on her face was neither sad nor happy, but her heart was very excited.

finally!She can finally leave that small world!
Although she can only walk around in the dyeing workshop, it is really rare for her who has lost her freedom now.

Sangsang walked briskly along the way and quickly returned to his residence.

Although I hate this small courtyard, I felt more friendly as soon as I came back.

She came to the room and sat on a stool to rest. As soon as she sat down, she heard rapid footsteps outside.

Luzhi ran in and congratulated breathlessly: "Miss Cousin, I heard that the old lady invited you to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet tonight! That's great!"
