Chapter 13

Shen Lang hasn't come out yet, but the purple silk dyed by the Xu family has already been placed on the table.

At this time, dozens of candles were lit throughout the hall, as bright as day.

Against the backdrop of countless candles, the purple silk is particularly dazzling.

The most outstanding dyeing craftsman of the Xu family bowed and said: "Master, miss, this is our new purple dye. It is no longer made from a mixture of blue and red, but extracted from a type of comfrey. We strive for perfection. It has not been put on the market, but the dyeing effect is much better than before."

Patriarch Xu, Lin Mo and others looked at the purple silk in front of the candlelight.

Sure enough, it is much more vivid, and it is a qualitative leap from the previous purple dye.

Not only is the color purity much higher, but it is more than one level brighter. It is an extremely good new purple dye, and the Xu family is about to make a fortune.

The young prison officer took a closer look at the silk in his hand and had to admit that this brand new purple color was indeed very good. Although he is not an aristocrat, he is also from a famous family, especially prefers purple brocade, and he is very appreciative of this aspect.

Xu Qianqian said: "Artisan Xu, talk to a few adults about the new golden yellow dye."

The most outstanding dyeing craftsman of the Xu family said: "Report to all the adults, the villain's family has been doing dye work for generations, and the villain has also loved to study it since he was a child. Especially the yellow color is specially used for the monarch, so the villain put most of the dye work. I put all my energy into yellow and purple, and I have experimented with hundreds of raw materials, and locust rice is one of them, as evidenced by the original record book of the villain."

After all, he handed in a brochure.

This young official in charge of the Xuanwu City Prison is one of the several masters of the City Lord's Mansion.

He took it over and looked at it, and sure enough, there were all kinds of tried formulas recorded in it, among which there was locust rice. And it has been some time since I read this handwriting, it is not a fake.

"This Shen Lang used to be the uncle of the Xu family, but he was looked down upon because of his low intelligence. For some reason, he came to my dyeing room for a walk. When I experimented with locust rice, he saw him. ." said the dyer.

He didn't lie completely. He did experiment with locust rice as a yellow dye, but he didn't know adding alum to it to brighten it up. This was the most critical step. And because of the process, the color he extracted from locust rice was not outstanding, so his formula of locust rice was a failure.

Before, Shen Lang often went to the dyeing room for a walk, and it was true that he liked to see these colorful things.

It is based on the above reasons that Xu Family Master and Xu Qianqian have absolute confidence. This golden-yellow dye formula was not researched by Shen Lang himself.

These two people really know Shen Lang's ability too well, an imbecile who really knows nothing.

The head of the Xu family said: "My lords, at this time, the evidence is all there, so it's time to arrest them."

Although he was talking about the adults, his eyes were directly fixed on the young master bookkeeper. If it weren't for this stunned young man, Shen Lang would have arrested him long ago.

The young official looked at the booklet and the silk with the brand-new purple dye in his hand, and nodded involuntarily.

"It seems so." He said lightly.

"Come here, go and catch Shen Lang inside." Xu Patriarch shouted.

Then, without waiting for the official to take action, the warrior of the Xu family, Yue Zuo, rushed in directly.

At this time, the backyard door was pushed open, and Shen Lang walked out.

Patriarch Xu said coldly: "Shen Lang, now there are all witnesses and evidences, wait for you to go to jail!"

Shen Lang immediately looked at the young official, who said lightly, "All the evidence points to you stealing."

Shen Lang looked at the piece of purple silk on the table and couldn't help but stunned.

Is this the Xu family's new purple dye? Compared to before, I don't know where Gao Ming has gone?

This color is very pure and very bright!

but……

Compared with the purple dye that Shen Lang extracted from litmus lichen, there is still a big gap.

The purple dye extracted from comfrey is still too monotonous, a little pale, and has no aura.

Shen Lang smiled and said: "Xu Qianqian, the purple color of the silk in front of you is indeed the highest level of your Xu family, right? There is absolutely no hiding!"

"No." Xu Qianqian said: "Shen Lang, unless the purple dye you made is better than mine, you are still a shameless thief, not only stole the golden yellow dye formula, but also stole the new purple dye formula. , it's really hard to guard against thieves!"

Without saying a word, Shen Lang took out the purple silk he dyed and put it in front of everyone!

In an instant, Family Head Xu and Lin Mo's eyes suddenly brightened. The two first showed disbelief, and then looked extremely greedy.

The worst thing about anything is comparison.

I just looked at the purple silk of the Xu family before and thought it was pretty good, but now compared with the purple silk dyed by Shen Lang, the difference is clearly visible.

Although the silk dyed by the Xu family was very pure purple, it was too thin and looked cheap and gaudy.

However, the purple dyed by Shen Lang's silk is deep and agile, not on the same level at all.

There is no need for anyone to decide whether to win or lose, and the decision can be made at a glance.

Shen Lang sneered: "Patriarch Xu, Xu Qianqian, shouldn't my new purple dye be stolen from your house again?"

Patriarch Xu and Xu Qianqian couldn't help but look at each other and were extremely surprised.

What's going on here?

Shen Lang has been in her family for a few months, but she understands it best. She is mentally retarded, ignorant, and completely useless. She doesn't understand anything.

The reason why I was able to come up with the golden yellow dye formula before was entirely because I saw Xu Craftsman's countless experiments, and it was extremely accidental that this kind of locust rice mixed with alum would appear bright yellow.

This kind of thing is a coincidence, but also normal.

Over the past few hundred years, I don't know how many completely new dye formulations have been discovered by accident.

So, this match should be a sure win.

Originally, the Xu family could directly use their connections and warriors to take Shen Lang into prison, but this young master was a stunned young man, and even blocked the exit, insisting on giving Shen Lang a chance to identify himself. Of course, the Xu family is not afraid of a master, but the other party is also considered to be from a famous family, and is in charge of prisons. Today's event is the home of the master.

So the Xu family had to give face, which gave Shen Lang a chance to compete, and Xu Qianqian knew Shen Lang too well and knew that he would never win.

Xu Qianqian's idea was right at first, but she did not think that the stupid Shen Lang before was dead, and the Shen Lang in front of her was the soul of a human who had passed through.

Shen Lang sneered: "Could it be that the color of this piece of silk is not obvious enough? What about this piece?"

Immediately afterwards, the killer weapon he took out, rainbow silk!

Under the countless candlelights that are as bright as day, this rainbow silk is beautiful and stunning.

Everyone took a breath of fresh air!

how can that be?

So gorgeous, so inspiring.

Colorful, but not the slightest gaudy, the excess of key colors is so natural.

If the purple silk that Shen Lang took out before was a big win, then this brand new rainbow-dyed silk was completely crushed, setting off the purple silk of the Xu family so vulgar and unsightly.

Shen Lang asked with a smile, "Patriarch Xu, Xu Qianqian, could it be that my new dye formula for rainbow silk was also stolen from the Xu family?"

There seemed to be a slap in the face in the air.

Patriarch Xu and Xu Qianqian looked at Shen Lang in astonishment?

Did they miss something about this new son-in-law?

He is so proficient in dye skills, why does Xu Qianqian not know it at all?

This dye technique may not be very useful to other families, but it is too useful to the Xu family, and it can completely take the Xu family's business to a higher level.

In ancient times, silk was almost the same, and the key was dyeing.

Once the color skills are far superior to the competition, the silk and cloth business can be invincible.

Originally thought that Shen Lang was a complete waste, but did not expect to have a unique and superb skill.

It is absolutely unexpected!

Shen Lang said to the young official: "Master Chief, please do justice."

The young master clerk glanced at the Xu family and said, "Please confirm, are these purple dyes and rainbow silk dyes stolen from the Xu family by Shen Lang?"

Suddenly, Patriarch Xu's face twitched.

This young master book is really a stunned young man. When he left the city master's mansion, didn't his Shangguan still hint it clearly?

Xu Qianqian's fiancé is the son of the county governor. Don't you want to offend the Zhang family?

Patriarch Xu glanced at the young master with resentment in his heart, and really thought of expelling him and dismissing him.

But that also needs to be done behind the scenes, at least the county governor needs to do it, and on the surface, he, a businessman, can't be rude to a master.

"No!" Patriarch Xu said coldly.

The young master book looked at Xu Qianqian and said, "Miss Xu, what do you think? Did Shen Lang steal the purple dye and rainbow dye formula from your house?"

Xu Qianqian's beautiful eyes narrowed, and she could see that this young master was not only stunned, but he was hostile to the Xu family in his heart.

Did the Xu family have any holiday with him? Or did Zhang Jin have a holiday with him?

How dare this young master book dare to go against the in-laws of the county governor?

"No." Xu Qianqian said calmly.

"Since it's not, then Shen Lang has been wronged." The young master clerk said: "Patriarch Xu, Miss Xu, you two should apologize to Shen Lang!"

Patriarch Xu was about to explode with anger, snorted coldly, and left with a sudden flick of his sleeves.

After Xu Qianqian's face changed a few times, she moved towards Shen Lang and said with a slight blessing: "I'm sorry, because of some previous misunderstandings, I wronged you, farewell!"

Then, her graceful and graceful figure also left.

She had already decided to let Zhang Jin take revenge on the young master as soon as she returned, and officials who were hostile to the Xu family were absolutely not allowed in Xuanwu City.

After Xu Qianqian left.

Shen Lang bowed his hands to the young master and said, "Thank you, master, long time no see, stay safe! How has Xiongtai been in recent years? How is Miss Jin from Earl Xuanwu's house?"
