Dragon's Origin

"Okay!" Steward Zhou certainly knew how many people in Wang Sheng's mansion were the royal family's spies, but since Wang Sheng said so, he couldn't refuse and could only nod.

This was already Wang Sheng being very polite. He didn't directly tell them to withdraw their people, only not to go to the backyard inner quarters. Moreover, Wang Sheng had given prior notice. It would be unreasonable not to give him face.

Steward Zhou didn't think that Wang Sheng didn't know who the royal family's spies were; he just didn't say it. Turn hostile? Unless the Emperor's brain was kicked by a donkey and then filled with sewage, he would make the decision to turn hostile. Therefore, Steward Zhou could only agree; there was no other choice.

"I need a year of quiet cultivation." Seeing Steward Zhou agree so readily, Wang Sheng didn't make things difficult for him. He simply stated his plan: "You need to hurry up."

Steward Zhou's heart stirred. Hurry up? Hurry up with what? Although he already had a very definite guess in his mind, since Wang Sheng didn't say it, Steward Zhou didn't dare to give a definite decision.

But Wang Sheng certainly wouldn't say more. Even if Steward Zhou didn't understand now, with the addition of Chief Steward Li and Senior Eunuch Shen, plus the Emperor's judgment after he woke up, they would definitely be able to guess the accurate result.

"Thank you!" Steward Zhou rose again and bowed to Wang Sheng to express his thanks.

"When you have time, come to my mansion for a drink." Wang Sheng smiled: "The imperial guards are also human; they can't be tense all the time. Combining work and rest, and having a balance, is the right way. Anyway, there are three of you; you can take turns."

"I will definitely bother Duke Wang!" Steward Zhou smiled and agreed.

Mei'er was still chatting with the Empress, and the two were having a great time. Wang Sheng didn't urge her, nor did he go to pay his respects to the Empress. After saying goodbye to Steward Zhou, he left and returned to his mansion.

Last night, Mei'er had already given Wang Sheng the improved version of the "Zhi Xu Shou Jing Xin Fa(致虚守静心法: Zhi Xu Shou Jing Xin Fa, roughly translated as "Attain Emptiness and Maintain Tranquility Heart Method")" by the old Taoist, but Wang Sheng hadn't had time to look at it, let alone practice it.

Now seemed like an opportunity, but after thinking about it, Wang Sheng didn't immediately take it out to practice. Instead, he went straight to the area where the grandmasters lived.

Now that he was back, he would definitely accept Mei'er, and Mei'er was also looking forward to this moment. Although there wouldn't be a wedding, Wang Sheng still wanted to give Mei'er a beautiful wedding dress. Well, Rose should also have one, even though Rose had already accepted being a concubine, Wang Sheng couldn't ignore her.

The two busy tailoring grandmasters saw Wang Sheng come over, and their eyes lit up. The Duke rarely came, but when he did, it was always with a good design to make. The two immediately put down their work and greeted him.

"New clothes for the bride?" Hearing Wang Sheng's question, the two grandmasters were even more energetic. Was the Duke going to make new clothes for Lady Mei?

"Quickly go outside and find a few sets of ordinary bride's clothes for the Duke to look at." The two grandmasters quickly instructed their apprentices, several grandmaster-level tailors, to run errands: "It's best to have all kinds of styles."

The several grandmaster-level tailors, whom ordinary people couldn't even see on weekdays, didn't even fart at the moment and quickly ran out, searching everywhere for suitable new clothes.

"Lady Mei's new clothes must be rich and noble; there's no need to look at the kind for ordinary people." The two grandmasters sat with Wang Sheng at the stone table in the yard and began to chat. Saying it was chatting, it was actually the two grandmasters giving Wang Sheng a crash course.

After the two grandmasters' crash course, Wang Sheng understood. The wedding dresses in this world were similar to those in ancient times on Earth; they were also auspicious red clothes embroidered with various beautiful patterns. If there was any difference, it was in the names and patterns.

The phoenix was a taboo in the Yuanhun World, so there was no such thing as a phoenix coronet and robes. If there had to be something, it would at most be a 'xiapi(霞帔: A decorative scarf worn over the shoulders)'. The patterns on it also couldn't be phoenixes but flowers.

Wang Sheng had in his mind the magnificent phoenix coronet and robes from film and television works, as well as the real phoenix coronet and robes from museums. He had no shortage of creativity, but if he only made phoenix coronet and robes, it seemed a bit insufficient.

"Are there any taboos regarding the color of the new clothes?" Wang Sheng asked again: "For example, I know that some places regard white as pure and auspicious, so they use white for new clothes."

"There are white ones too." One of the grandmasters replied with a smile: "Some places in the north use white for new clothes. Customs vary from place to place. Some people think it's auspicious, and some people think it's inauspicious. The key is what the person wearing them thinks."

"Understood!" Wang Sheng nodded and continued to ask for advice.

Before long, several grandmaster-level tailors had brought back several types of wedding dresses available on the market, allowing Wang Sheng to see the real thing. Sure enough, there were red and white ones, in various styles, saving Wang Sheng from having to choose.

Since he had come to the two grandmasters, Wang Sheng simply took out some of the things he remembered.

Wang Sheng described the traditional Chinese phoenix coronet and robes while drawing them. Sometimes, the drawings weren't very lifelike, but the two tailoring grandmasters were experts in this field and helped Wang Sheng improve them.

The clothes of the phoenix coronet and robes were okay, but the main thing was the coronet. Wang Sheng directly copied the designs from more than a dozen ancient costume film and television works, each of which was magnificent, plus the several types he saw in the orthodox museums, making up twenty types.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

These phoenix coronet designs alone were enough to make the two grandmasters' eyes shine, wishing they could see the real thing immediately. Unfortunately, they were just tailors; this required jewelry makers to do it.

He originally thought that was all, but after Wang Sheng finished speaking about these, he didn't stop and instead began to talk about wedding dresses.

Wedding dresses were basically white, but there were also red and other colors. Anyway, as the grandmaster said, it depended on what the person wearing them thought; whichever they liked, they would choose.

A series of beautiful wedding dresses from Wang Sheng's descriptions, drawings, and the two grandmasters' improvements leaped onto the paper one by one. Even though they hadn't been made yet, just seeing these beautiful appearances, the several grandmasters surrounding them were like perverted wolves who couldn't wait to swallow these designs into their stomachs.

As tailors, they were the fastest to accept these trendy designs. They could accept the previous evening gowns, let alone these unbelievably beautiful wedding dresses.

All of them were experienced tailors. Wang Sheng had already drawn the shapes and explained the materials. They could just use their imagination to outline the appearance of those finished wedding dresses. Each of them closed their eyes and imagined with such intoxication, it was truly wonderful.

"Let's stop at this many wedding dresses for now!" Wang Sheng had already described and drawn at least forty types of wedding dress designs. Thinking it was enough, he stopped describing the wedding dresses for now: "If you have any good ideas, you can add them."
