by Haruki Murakami 16:30,Jul 14,2023


Scott Shen hasn't come out yet, but the purple Journal of Silk dyed by the Xu family has been placed on the table.

At this time, dozens of candles were lit in the entire Main Hall, which was as bright as day.

Against the backdrop of countless candles, the purple Journal of Silk is particularly eye-catching.

The most outstanding dyeing craftsman of the Xu Family bowed and said, "Elder Master, Miss, this is our new purple dye. It is no longer a mixture of blue and red, but extracted from a kind of comfrey. We strive for excellence so there is no It was put on the market, but the dyeing effect is much better than before.”

Head of the Family, Morgan Lin and others looked at the purple Journal of Silk by the candlelight.

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

Not only is the purity of the color much higher, but it is also brighter by more than one level. It is really an excellent new purple dye, and the Xu Family is about to make a fortune again.

The young prison Official took a closer look at the Journal of Silk in his hand, and had to admit that this brand new purple was indeed very good. Although he is not a nobleman, he is also from a famous family, and he especially prefers purple brocade, and he has a very good appreciation for this aspect.

Celestine Xu said, "Xu Craftsman, talk to some adults about the new golden yellow dye."

The most outstanding dyeing craftsman of the Xu Family said, "My lords, the dyeing work that has been done for generations in the villain's family, the villain also loves to study since childhood. Especially the yellow color is exclusively for the King, so the villain puts most of his energy on it. I have invested in yellow and purple, I have experimented with hundreds of raw materials, and Huai Mi is one of them, here is the original record book of the villain to prove it."

After all, he handed in a booklet.

This young Official in charge of the prison of Xuanwu City is one of the several Secretary of the City Lord Mansion .

He took it over and looked through it, and there were indeed dense records of various tried recipes, including pagoda rice. And it's been a while since the handwriting, it's not a fake.

"This Scott Shen used to be the Son-in-Law of the Xu Family , but he was looked down upon by others because of his low intelligence. For some reason, he actually came to my Dyeing Room room for a walk. When I was experimenting with Huai Mi for a new dye, he saw it. .” said the dyeing craftsman.

He didn't completely lie, he did experiment with using Huai Mi as a yellow dye, but he didn't know that adding alum to it to brighten it was the most critical step, and of course it wouldn't work if it was missing. And because of the process, the color he extracted from Huai Mi was not outstanding, so his Huai Mi formula was considered a failure.

In the past, Scott Shen 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 Head of the Family and Celestine Xu have absolute confidence that this golden yellow dye formula was not researched by Scott Shen himself.

These two people really know Scott Shen's ability too well, a moron who really knows nothing.

Head of the Family said, "My lords, there are all the witnesses and material evidence at this time, so we can arrest them."

Although he was talking about the adults, his eyes were fixed on the young Secretary. If it wasn't for this stupefied young man, Scott Shen would have arrested him a long time ago.

The young Official looked at the booklet and at the brand new purple dyed Journal of Silk in his hand, and nodded involuntarily.

"It seems to be the case." He said lightly.

"Come here, go and capture Scott Shen inside."Head of the Family shouted.

Then, without waiting for the officials to make a move, the Soldier of the Xu Family rushed in directly.

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

Head of the Family said coldly, "Scott Shen, there are all the witnesses and material evidence now, just wait to go to prison!"

Scott Shen immediately looked at the young Official, who said indifferently, "All the evidence points to your theft."

Shen Lang looked at the piece of purple Journal of Silk on the table and couldn't help being startled.

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

This color is very pure and very bright!

but……

Compared with Scott Shen's purple dye extracted from litmus lichen, there is still a big gap.

The purple dye extracted from comfrey is still too monotonous, and a little pale, without aura.

Scott Shen suddenly laughed and said, "Celestine Xu, the purple color of the Journal of Silk in front of you is indeed the highest level of your Xu Family, right? There is absolutely no secret!"

"No."Celestine Xu said, "Scott Shen, unless the purple dye you made is better than mine, you are still a shameless thief. Not only did you steal the golden yellow dye formula, but you also stole the new purple dye formula. It's really hard to guard against a house thief!"

Without saying a word, Scott Shen took out the purple Journal of Silk he dyed and placed it in front of everyone!

In an instant, the eyes of Head of the Family and Morgan Lin suddenly brightened. The two first showed unbelievable expressions, and then looked extremely greedy.

The biggest fear of anything is comparison.

Looking at the purple Journal of Silk of the Xu Family before, I thought it was not bad, but now compared with the purple Journal of Silk dyed by Scott Shen , the gap is completely visible.

Although the Journal of Silk dyed by the Xu family was already very pure purple, it was too thin and looked cheap and gaudy.

However, the purple dyed by Scott Shen's Journal of Silk is deep and vivid, not on the same level at all.

There is no need for people to judge the winner or loser at all, and the winner can be judged at a glance.

Scott Shen sneered, "Head of the Family, Celestine Xu, my new purple dye probably stole from your family again, right?"

Head of the Family and Celestine Xu couldn't help but look at each other, feeling extremely surprised.

What's going on?

Scott Shen has been married to her family for a few months, she knows best, mentally retarded, ignorant, completely useless, 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 countless experiments by Craftsman Xu, and it was extremely accidental to find that this kind of Sophora japonica and alum mixed together will produce a bright yellow color.

This kind of thing is very coincidental, but it is also normal.

Over the past few hundred years, countless new dye formulations have been discovered by accident.

Therefore, this competition should be a sure win.

Originally , the Xu Family could directly use their connections and Soldier to arrest Scott Shen, but this young Secretary was a stunned young man, who actually stopped him and insisted on giving Scott Shen a chance to defend himself. Of course the Xu Family is not afraid of a Secretary, but the other party is also considered to be from a famous family, and is in charge of prisons. Today's matter can be regarded as the home of the Secretary.

So the Xu Family also had to give face, which gave Scott Shen a chance to compete, and Celestine Xu knew Scott Shen too well, knowing that he would never win.

Celestine Xu's idea was right, but she never thought that the stupid Scott Shen before was dead, and the Scott Shen in front of her was the soul of the earthling who had traveled over.

Scott Shen sneered, "Could it be that the color of this piece of Journal of Silk is not obvious enough? What about this piece?"

Immediately afterwards, he took out his trump card, rainbow Journal of Silk!

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

Everyone took a deep breath!

How can this be?

So gorgeous, so spiritual.

It is colorful, but not gaudy at all, and the transition of key colors is so natural.

If the purple Journal of Silk that Scott Shen took out before was a great victory, then this brand new rainbow-dyed Journal of Silk was completely crushed, making the piece of purple Journal of Silk from the Xu Family so vulgar and unsightly.

Scott Shen smiled and asked, "Head of the Family, Celestine Xu, did I steal the new dye formula of my rainbow Journal of Silk from the Xu Family?"

There seemed to be a slapping sound in the air.

Head of the Family and Celestine Xu looked at Scott Shen in surprise?

For this son-in-law, did they miss something?

He is so proficient in the art of dyeing, why does Celestine Xu know nothing about it?

This kind of dyeing technique may not be very useful to other families, but it is very useful to the Xu family, and it can completely bring the Xu Family's business to a higher level.

In ancient times, Journal of Silk was almost the same, the key lies in dyeing.

Once the color skills are far superior to competitors, the Journal of Silk and cloth business can be invincible.

Originally thought that Scott Shen was a complete waste, but he didn't expect to have a unique and superb skill.

I never expected it!

Shen Lang said to the young Official, "Secretary, please uphold justice."

The young Secretary glanced at Head of the Family and said, "Please confirm, did Scott Shen steal the purple dye and rainbow Journal of Silk dye from the Xu Family?"

Immediately, Head of the Family face twitched.

This young Secretary is really a stunned young man. When he left the City Lord Mansion, didn't his superior hint clearly?

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

Head of the Family glanced at the young Secretary with resentment in his heart, and really thought of driving him away from office.

But that also requires behind-the-scenes operations, at least the sheriff needs to do it, and on the surface, he, a businessman, cannot be rude to a Secretary.

"No!"Head of the Family said coldly.

The young Secretary looked at Celestine Xu and said, "Miss Xu, what do you think? Did Scott Shen steal the formula of purple dye and iridescent dye from your house?"

Celestine Xu narrowed her beautiful eyes, and she could see that this young Secretary was not just stunned, he was hostile to the Xu Family in his heart.

Does the Xu Family have any trouble with him? Or did Paul Zhang have a feud with him?

How dare this young Secretary dare to fight against the in-laws of the county sheriff?

"No."Celestine Xu said indifferently.

"Since it's not the case, then Scott Shen has been wronged." The young Secretary master said, "Head of the Family, Miss Xu, both of you should apologize to Scott Shen!"

Head of the Family was about to explode in anger, snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and left directly.

After Celestine Xu face changed a few times, she gave a slight blessing to Scott Shen and said, "I'm sorry, because of some misunderstandings before, I wronged you, so I leave!"

Then, her graceful and graceful figure also left slowly.

She had already decided that Paul Zhang would take revenge on the young Secretary immediately after she returned, and Official hostile to the Xu Family would never be allowed to exist in Xuanwu City.

After Celestine Xu left.

Shen Lang bowed his hands to the young Secretary and said, "Thank you, Secretary , long time no see, don't come here without any problems! How has your brother been doing in recent years? How is Miss Jin from the Earl of Xuanwu's Governor's Mansion ?"
