Chapter 189 The oil paper umbrella full of Kyoto

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the wife of the imperial decree, the princess, princesses and county lords, all had to come to the palace to celebrate Xindan.

The old lady of the Xue family was just sleeping, but she got up again at the beginning of the Mao family. Fortunately, the old man had less sleep and she was not in pain.

Xue Yutan did not return to Wenqiyuan last night and lived in the warm pavilion of Yutangyuan.

When the old lady got up, she also got up and combed the old lady's hair.

The maids came in and put on the court uniform of the first-class lady's imperial edict for the old lady.

Xue Yutan's eyes were full of envy: "The court ward of this lady of the imperial decree is truly imposing."

"You will have it next year, too." The old lady smiled, "Good boy, you are a blessed person."

Xue Yutan smiled shyly and looked forward with expectations.

She clenched her fingers secretly.

Next year, she will definitely be able to wear such court clothes. She doesn't even need to enter the palace early, but stay in the palace with the royal family on New Year's Eve.

The old lady didn't dare to use too much breakfast, so she only ate two bites of snacks. This morning, she definitely couldn't go to the clean room, and she didn't dare to eat it at all.

"... Has the county lord got up?" The old lady put down her chopsticks and asked the maid again, "Let her come to me for meals, don't waste time."

Xue Yutan glanced at the old lady.

The old lady still loved her very much, but after King Rui came, the old lady became much more polite to Xue Mei.

This made Xue Yutan very jealous.

My grandmother should be her own, but she is the only one who prefers her.

It was still raining outside, and the temperature suddenly dropped sharply, making it even colder than the snow.

The maid went out and came back for a while. Her skirt was wet. Her shoulders were wet in the straw raincoat, which showed that the rain was raining outside was very strong.

"Old lady, the county lord has left. Dai's mother from Huiningyuan said that the county lord has gone to the second room and wants to go to the palace with the second wife to pay New Year's greetings." The maid replied.

Old lady: "…"

She snorted coldly, feeling that Xue Mei was really ungrateful.

Seeing her getting to know King Rui, the old lady did not curse, but said coldly: "Forget it, she can't help but mud, I have no need to give her a face."

Xue Yutan personally wore a straw raincoat and a hat for the old lady, and helped the old lady out.

When they arrived at the gate, the old lady got on the carriage, and two maids followed the carriage.

Sitting in the carriage, the old lady thought of Xue Mei and the second lady.

"...If it weren't for the butler of Yutan who made the family mess, the second couple would not have left. In this way, the three of them would have gone to pay New Year's greetings, so grandly." The old lady did not reflect on herself at this moment, but instead blamed Xue Yutan.

She blamed Xue Yutan, and also blamed Xue Mei for not being polite, and even more hated that the second wife refused to return home.

The carriage slowly arrived at the palace gate and was stopped from afar.

Many wives of the imperial decree also got off the car and had to walk across the moat bridge of the palace.

The rain is still falling, and the rain is indeed quite heavy. No matter how tight the straw raincoat is, it is a bit unstoppable.

Everyone was wearing court clothes, clothes and jewelry, and wearing straw raincoats and hats. These ladies and princesses were all slow to go.

The old lady came early and stood in Lupeng at the gate of the imperial city.

Someone came one after another, and they all stood in a position according to the eunuch's guidance, waiting to enter the palace one by one.

The ladies of the imperial edicts must chat during the normal season, but now everyone is tired, and the sound of rain hits the roof of the hut and is dense, so they need to raise their voices. In this way, everyone remained silent.

The old lady was still thinking in her heart: "Fortunately there was no wind today, otherwise the rain would blow on her face and she would be even more embarrassed."

She was secretly glad that there was a little commotion in the crowd, and everyone turned around to find the source of the commotion.

Mrs. Xue turned around and suddenly her eyes narrowed.

On the moat bridge, two people were coming, with their paces lightly. Both of them were wearing court clothes, with complex patterns and not very high grades.

This is not the point, the point is that neither of them wore a straw raincoat, but held a cover-shaped object.

Like a cover, but lighter and smaller than a cover.

It is Xue Mei and the second wife of the Xue family, Dou.

One of them is the county lord and the other is the respectful person. They both want to go to the palace to pay New Year's greetings. Unlike the heavy straw raincoats and hats of the women, they are refreshing and refreshing.

Xue Mei held a pink oil-paper umbrella with peach branches. The brown twisted branches and pink petals were like a painting. The person walking under the painting had white cheeks that reflected the light of the umbrella, making her look better and her eyebrows were more beautiful.

Mrs. Xue Er is a umbrella with a royal blue ball pattern. It has a noble and elegant temperament, steady and dignified temperament.

The two of them walked under the umbrella, relaxed and relaxed, but everyone was stunned.

Especially the young princess, princesses, and county lords, all of them stretched their necks.

"What's it?"

"It's like making a small cover."

"What material is used? How can I protect myself from rain?"

Mrs. Xue's eyes twitched, and anger surged into her heart.

What is that thing? It looks very novel and can block the rain?

With good things, why didn’t Xue Mei give them to her, but instead gave them to her second aunt?

However, the old lady had no chance to question.

Xue Mei and the second wife have not yet approached and have been surrounded by enthusiastic women.

"Master Chengyang County, what are you?" The first person to step forward was Princess Baoqing.

"Report to the princess, this thing is called oil paper umbrella." Xue Mei smiled.

"Oil paper umbrella?"

Everyone chewed this and didn't understand why.

Xue Mei smiled and walked into the hut, but everyone did not stop her.

Although there is a hut, the women did not take off their straw raincoats and hats. The reason is very simple, because they would mess up their clothes and hair, and there was no maid in front of them, so it would not be easy for them to wear them any more.

There are still many ways to enter the palace.

There are many people in Lupan.

Xue Mei came in, but put the umbrella away, put it on the ground and shook it, rolling all over the ground.

Everyone was even more shocked.

"Can you still put it away?"

"This thing is placed anywhere, and it doesn't take up any space. It can be used when it rains?"

"Where did you buy it, the Lord of Chengyang County?"

Everyone talked about it.

Xue Mei took the opportunity to introduce the oil paper umbrella.

"...The umbrella surface is cotton paper, and the umbrella support is bamboo. The reason why it can protect against rain is naturally because of the secret recipe." Xue Mei smiled, "Princess, you touch it, it's very hard."

Princess Baoqing went up to observe without regard for her past grudges.

It's really hard.

The rain fell on it, unable to soak, and rolled down from the edges.

In addition to being practical, this thing is also very beautiful.

Princess Baoqing couldn't help but be stunned and wished she could rob the spot.

Other noble ladies and wives were also very moved.

“Where did it come from?”

This is the most concerned issue for everyone.

Xue Mei: "I made this myself, but I sold the secret recipe. I guess it will be put out on the street in a few days."

Everyone was admiring again.

For a time, the decree wives and noble ladies in the capital remembered the Lord of Chengyang County.

The Lord of Chengyang County and Mrs. Xue Er were indeed very popular. They were first watched by the ladies and entered the palace, and then by the empress dowager, the queen and the empress.

Everyone has a strong interest in oil paper umbrellas.

Empress Dowager Hu also carried on her and walked around the rain, so happy.

"Hurry, let Mingyu give it to Ai's family!" Empress Dowager Hu said excitedly, "This is so interesting."

In the afternoon, oil-paper umbrellas became famous throughout Kyoto.

Everyone was eager to ask for it.

There are two newly opened shops that have been renovated for a long time and have not been open for business. The shop next door doesn’t know what they do.

Xue Mei, Xiaojun Wang, and the Wen family have said that they have to wait for an opportunity to promote the oil-paper umbrella and then sell it.

Now, the opportunity is ripe.

Two stores, one in the south of the city and the other in the north of the city, were sold out within two hours after the door was opened.

What we buy now are all well-informed and powerful families, and the slaves lined up in a long line.
