Rise From the Humble

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.

Come again? !

This little goblin...

Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but feel his teeth itching when he heard Li Shu calling him Sima Yi again. Although he hasn't figured out the connotation of Sima Yi yet, judging from the trembling smile of the little fairy Li Shu, 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's watery eyes gave Zhu Ping'an a charming look, her rosy cherry mouth was pouted, and she said in a sweet voice, she was 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 ancient times only had 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's 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 lightly, came to Zhu Pingan, stood on tiptoes, unfolded the raincoat and helped Zhu Pingan put it on.

This is a blue water-wavy feather gauze raincoat, with a coiled collar and double-breasted 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 Ping'an was a little uncomfortable, smiled slightly, and wanted to put on the raincoat by himself.

"Reach out your hand." Li Shu pursed her lips and puffed up her cheeks.

All right

Zhu Ping'an had no choice but to extend his hand obediently and enjoy Li Shu's attentive service.

Seeing Li Shu, a wealthy young 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.

Um

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, the shallow career line loomed from the neckline, and the outline of her little buttocks under the phoenix tail skirt was round and very sultry.

"Bad guy! Sima Yi is not honest."

When Li Shu was arranging the front train of Zhu Pingan's raincoat, she noticed the natural reaction of Zhu Pingan's body. She blushed 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 were 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 a grudge 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. The standard monk who was two feet tall was confused.

"Uncle, plain feather yarn is a precious fabric. Only the Cao family, the royal 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 softness of otter down can neutralize the roughness of wild goose feathers. After the two are twisted and woven, they are calendered, and more than a hundred processes are completed. This plain feather yarn has rolling water ripples on its surface. When rainwater falls on it, it will slide off naturally without soaking in. It is the best material for making raincoats.”

After hearing what Qin'er said, Zhu Pingan stretched out his sleeves in front of his eyes and took a look. 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's as light as a feather.

Water ripples and feathers, this is probably where its 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 out her ten fingers, and waved them in front of Zhu Pingan.

"Ten taels of silver a piece is really expensive." Zhu Pingan sighed with emotion.

Hearing this, Qin'er shook her head 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 about 600 yuan, and ten taels of silver is equivalent to a thousand yuan.

Plus the labor costs and so on.

For a moment, Zhu Ping felt that the raincoat on his body was shining with gold. 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 Pingan went out, Li Shu deliberately said goodbye in a playful voice.

Come again? !

When Zhu Ping'an heard this, he staggered.

This caused a lot of giggles in the room behind him.

What the hell is Sima Yi? !

On the way to Xiyuan, Zhu Ping'an 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 find 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 plan. Facing the empty city, Sima Yi turned around and ran away.

Sima Yi

Empty City Strategy

A sudden enlightenment.

"So that's it." Zhu Pingan suddenly understood, 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."
