In the largest silk workshop in Ruifeng County, Pei Li was inspecting the dyed silk with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Yes, the color of this batch of silk is better than the previous batch. I think it can be sold at a good price."

Pei Li looked at the rows of silk hanging out to dry and felt proud.

The Pei family's silk craftsmanship is very good, especially the Shu brocade they produce, which is loved by many nobles. Unfortunately, they are not local nobles, but migrated from other places and were suppressed by the local nobles in Yizhou. Otherwise, they would not have moved to a remote county like Ruifeng County.

But even so, the silk produced by the Pei family is still ranked among the best in Yizhou.

It ranks first among the ten counties under the jurisdiction of Qingyang County.

The annual "Silk Appreciation Fair" will be held in a few days. Last year, due to the severe drought, the Fair was not held. This year, it must be held in a grand manner.

This "Silk Appreciation Meeting" did not exist originally. It was held after the Pei family settled in Ruifeng County.

The purpose of this event is to promote Pei family's silk. It has been held for more than ten years. Originally, it was only the Pei family that participated. Later, its influence expanded, and the gentry with silk industries in the ten nearby counties also participated.

The Pei family welcomes everyone who comes, and things are more valuable when there is comparison.

Only by comparing prices from three different stores can more people know how good Pei family's silk is and can they sell it at a better price.

It was thanks to this "Silk Appreciation Meeting" that the Pei family's silk became more and more famous, and eventually became famous throughout Yizhou.

This time, the Pei family has mastered a new dyeing technology and will surely shine again at the 'Silk Appreciation Meeting'.

"Master, what do you think of this one?"

The workshop manager carefully held a piece of crimson brocade over and said, "This is dyed and woven according to a new recipe, with madder and cinnabar added..."

Pei Li took the brocade and looked at it in the sunlight. It was brighter and more vivid than the previous red. He smiled and said, "It has a rich color and feels cool to the touch. It is indeed a top-grade product. Let's use it as the finale at the silk appreciation meeting."

The steward looked embarrassed: "But sir, this cinnabar-dyed material will itch after wearing it for a long time..."

"What are you afraid of?"

Pei Li snorted coldly, "Just follow my instructions." The manager didn't dare to say anything more and bowed and left.

Soon the deputy steward came over with a piece of paper and said, "Master, this is the list of exhibitors."

Pei Li took it and took a look at it. When he saw the three words "Liu Yiyi" at the end, he couldn't help but frowned slightly.

The Liu family is also going to participate in the Silk Appreciation Exhibition?

The Liu family’s industry does not include silk. Are they trying to get a piece of the pie because they see that my Pei family’s silk business is doing well?

Pei Li thought about how the Liu family had invited the gentry of Ruifeng County to a discussion the day before yesterday, but had not invited the Pei family. Moreover, after the discussion, some rumors spread in the streets, saying that the Pei family had robbed goods and kidnapped the gentry and so on.

This made Pei Li realize that the cold-blooded Thirteen Eagles probably said that the kidnapping of Liu Jingzhi was ordered by them.

This is outrageous!

They used to claim that they had professional ethics and would never reveal who their employers were even if they died. But now, not only have they swallowed up the counterfeit goods, they have also betrayed them. Where is their professional ethics?

No wonder it is just a small killer organization that is not worth mentioning.

Since Liu Jingzhi already knew about it, the relationship between them was completely broken. Fortunately, the two families' industries did not overlap, so they were not suppressed by the Liu family.

But what does it mean that your Liu family wants to participate in the Silk Appreciation Meeting? We have never participated in it before.

Are you trying to embarrass my Pei family at the Silk Festival? Are you trying to suppress my Pei family's business?

How naive!

How could your Liu family, as outsiders, possibly understand silk? I'm afraid you just randomly bought up some small folk workshops and wanted to participate in the silk appreciation party. That's really laughable.

Originally Pei Li wanted to cross out Liu Yiyi's name, but after thinking about it, since the other party wanted to cause trouble for his Pei family, then let the Liu family do it.

Whoever is ugly will be embarrassed.

My Pei family has been in the silk business for so many years and has never been afraid of anyone. If you want to suppress my Pei family in the silk industry, I'm afraid it's just wishful thinking.

Of course, since Liu Yiyi is coming to the exhibition, she must be well prepared, but I still have a trump card.

Pei Feng has returned from Jiangnan and hired a dyeing and weaving master from Jiangnan at a high price. It was this dyeing and weaving master who suggested adding cinnabar to the red brocade just now.

Although cinnabar is poisonous, after being processed by this master, its toxicity has been reduced to the lowest level. In addition to this bright red brocade, the master also dyed it a real gold color.

This was a significant advancement. At that time, gold was mostly dyed with metal salts, but it was difficult to produce true gold using these dyes.

The master used gold foil instead, and the gold color he dyed was more advanced than before.

However, gold foil is expensive and requires high craftsmanship. Pei Li originally did not want to use real gold. After all, the technology was not yet mature.

But now that the Liu family is going to participate in the exhibition, he has to be cautious. Although he is very confident about the bright red color, he still decided to display the real gold color.

Let's see how your Liu family fights against my Pei family. Even if your Liu family cooperates with other noble families who own dyeing workshops, you can never suppress my Pei family's silk industry.

…

Yiyun Village.

Liu Yiyi informed Pei Yun that she was going to attend the "Silk Appreciation Meeting".

"Brother Pei, the silk appreciation event held by the Pei family will have a great impact. Many young ladies from high-ranking families in Qingyang County will come. I thought that we should not sell them in the store first, but embarrass them at the Pei family's most proud silk appreciation event. What do you think?"

Pei Yun smiled and said, "Since I've given you full authority to handle it, I naturally have no objection. Just go ahead and do it."

When Liu Yiyi heard this, a smile appeared on her face. It was really good to be completely trusted by the person you love.

Xue Qianqian looked at Liu Yiyi, then at Pei Yun, and felt that something was wrong between the two of them, and it seemed that their relationship was much better than before.

Leng Qingqiu stood aside, with her arms folded, watching coldly. She felt that there was something abnormal about Liu Yiyi's words, and the sound of her voice gave her goose bumps all over her body.

If she were in modern times, she would know that Liu Yiyi is now using the clip sound.

"Brother Pei, the silk appreciation party will not start for a few days, why don't we spread out the ceramics first."

Pei Yun had not thought that the ancients also had the sound of the clip, so he smiled and nodded, "No problem."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and displayed the porcelain he bought from the mall.

Liu Yiyi's eyes suddenly widened. She knew that everything Pei Yun took out were good things, but she had never thought that the ceramics could be so exquisite.

Those porcelains were as delicate as fat, with a warm luster in the sun, and the glaze was the clearest she had ever seen.

She had never seen such exquisite porcelain since she was a child.

Liu Yiyi thought that she had seen the world, but now she felt like a country bumpkin who had never eaten fine food.

The same was true for Xue Qianqian. As the daughter of a county magistrate, she had vision and knowledge, but she had never seen these porcelains before. They were completely incomparable to those on the market.

Not only are the colors eye-catching, but the shapes are also exquisite. Once you take a look at it, you can't take your eyes off it.

Leng Qingqiu was also shocked. Could this be the porcelain that the gods in heaven usually use? It was too beautiful.
