Chapter 863 A sudden enlightenment
After breakfast, it was still drizzling outside and there was a sound of frogs.
"Sima Yi~~"
Li Shu giggled and called out to Zhu Ping'an who was about to go out to work with an umbrella.
Again? !
This little goblin...
Zhu Ping'an couldn't help itching his teeth when he heard Li Shu calling him Sima Yi again. Although he hasn't figured out the connotation of Sima Yi yet, from the way Li Shu, the little goblin, laughed, his flowers trembled. See, designated is not a good name.
"You want to ride a horse with an umbrella? Not to mention it's inconvenient, and it can't block the wind or the rain. You'd better change into a raincoat before going out."
Li Shu had a pair of wet eyes. Wang Wang's eyes gave Zhu Ping'an a charming look, her rosy little cherry mouth was pouted, and she said in a coquettish voice, so bright and beautiful.
Well, that makes sense.
Hearing this, Zhu Pingan nodded, his teeth no longer itching.
What Li Shu said makes sense. It is really inconvenient to hold an umbrella while riding a horse. If the horse is running, it really cannot protect you from the wind and rain.
However, did raincoats also exist in ancient times? Isn’t the raincoat a modern product?
Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but become curious. In his previous understanding, he always thought that in ancient times there were only coir raincoats and umbrellas.
"Miss, the raincoat is here." Soon a little girl brought the raincoat.
Seeing the raincoat that the little girl brought, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but refresh his understanding. There really were raincoats in ancient times.
"It was also made by someone new. I don't know if it will suit my husband's body." Li Shu stretched out her little hand to take the raincoat, moved her steps lightly, and came to Zhu Pingan. She stood on tiptoes and unfolded the raincoat to serve Zhu Pingan. Put it on.
This is a blue water ripple feather gauze raincoat, with a coiled collar and double-breasted casual style, flat sleeves, four-part hem, and a unique hat attached to the back. The plate collar is lined with a white lining, and the edge of the collar is rolled with a narrow edge with gilding thread, and has six black cloth buttons.
"I'll do it myself." Zhu Pingan was not used to it, smiled slightly, and wanted to put on the raincoat by himself.
“Stretch out your hand.” Li Shu pouted her mouth and puffed up her cheeks.
Okay
Zhu Pingan had no choice but to extend his hand obediently and enjoy Li Shu's attentive service.
Seeing Li Shu, a wealthy lady with no fingers in the water, serving around him, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but feel a rush of heat in his heart.
Hmm
Especially when Li Shu bent down to arrange the hem of Zhu Pingan's raincoat, Zhu Pingan's heart felt even hotter.
Summer clothing is light and simple.
When Li Shu bent over, her shallow career line loomed from the neckline, and her buttocks under the phoenix skirt had a rounded outline, which was very sultry.
"Bad guy! Sima Yi is not honest."
When Li Shu was adjusting the front train of Zhu Pingan's raincoat, she noticed Zhu Pingan's body's natural reaction and couldn't help but blush and spat. , stood up quickly, gave Zhu Pingan a hard look, and refused to tidy up Zhu Pingan's raincoat again.
“Ahem.”
Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but blush.
Of course, the raincoats are also packed at this time.
Not too big, not too small, just right.
It must be neither too big nor too small. This raincoat was specially made by Li Shu according to Zhu Pingan's figure, so how could it not fit well.
“It looks thick, but I didn’t expect it to be so light.”
After Zhu Pingan changed into his raincoat, he turned around and felt the weight of the raincoat, half to relieve the embarrassment just now, and half to say in genuine surprise.
"Of course it's lighter, it's made of plain feather yarn."
Li Shu rolled her eyes at Zhu Pingan angrily, obviously still holding grudges against Zhu Pingan's natural reaction just now.
“Ahem, what is plain feather yarn?” When Zhu Ping’an heard the term plain feather yarn, he had a question mark on his face, and the standard monk who was two feet tall was confused.
"Uncle, plain feather yarn is a precious fabric. Only the Cao family, the imperial weaving merchant in Jinling, can make this kind of fabric."
Qin'er on the side explained softly, "Plain feather yarn is made of otter down and wild goose feathers. The otter's down is not only light and easy to color, but also thick and soft, and will not be soaked by water. Although the wild goose's feathers Rough, but most lightweight and waterproof, it is the best choice for making waterproof fabrics. The soft down of otter can neutralize the roughness of wild goose feathers. After the two are twisted and woven, they are then calendered and undergo more than a hundred processes to become this plain feather yarn. The surface of the feather yarn shows rolling water ripples. When rainwater falls on it, it will naturally slide off without soaking. The best material for making raincoats. "
After hearing what Qin'er said, Zhu Ping'an stretched his sleeves in front of his eyes and observed that it was indeed what Qin'er said.
There are rolling water ripples on the surface of the raincoat. If you look carefully, you can also find traces of feathers.
No wonder it is as light as a feather.
Water ripples and feathers are probably where the name comes from.
"How much does a piece of plain feather yarn cost?" Zhu Pingan asked casually.
Qin'er didn't speak. She stretched out her two little hands, stretched her ten fingers, and waved them in front of Zhu Pingan.
“Twelve taels of silver a piece is really expensive.” Zhu Pingan sighed with emotion.
Qin'er shook her head when she heard this, and corrected her seriously: "Uncle, it's not ten taels of silver per horse, but ten taels of silver per foot."
What? !
Ten taels of silver per foot? !
Then this raincoat must not use more than a few feet of cloth!
At this time, one tael of silver is roughly equivalent to RMB 600, and ten taels of silver is equivalent to a thousand yuan.
Plus the labor costs and so on.
For a moment, Zhu Pingan felt that the raincoat on his body was shining with golden light. This was not a raincoat, it was simply a gold coat. What limited edition handmade Armani is nothing compared to this raincoat.
After putting on his raincoat, Zhu Pingan said goodbye to Li Shu and others, went out to the stables in the front yard, met Liu Dadao, and rode to Xiyuan Sizhi.
"Farewell to Mr. Sima."
When Zhu Ping'an left, Li Shu said goodbye deliberately and playfully.
Again? !
Hearing this, Zhu Pingan staggered.
It made the room behind him burst into giggles.
What the hell is Sima Yi? !
On the way to Xiyuan, Zhu Pingan frowned and thought about this problem all the way. Even when he arrived at Wuyi Hall, he was still puzzled.
This morning was relatively leisurely. Zhu Pingan just drafted an official document and there was nothing else going on.
Nothing to do.
I saw a copy of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" on the table of Li Chunfang at the next table, and thought of Li Shu's "Sima Yi" joke, so I borrowed it from Li Chunfang to read it.
Zhu Ping'an flipped through it and happened to read the chapter about Sima Yi's troops approaching the west city after the street pavilion was lost. Zhuge Liang, who had no troops to defend, devised an empty city strategy. Facing the empty city, Sima Yi turned around and ran away.
Sima Yi
The Empty City Plan
The idea suddenly dawned.
"So that's it." Zhu Ping'an suddenly realized, and then the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, "You stinky girl, wait until your relatives leave, see if I don't go straight in and attack Huanglong." (End of Chapter)
