Inside the embroidery workshop, the embroiderers sat in a group, engrossed in their work.
The room was filled with the unique scent of silk threads, and the embroidery fabric on the embroidery frame shone with a warm luster under the soft light.
The embroiderers' fingers moved as nimbly as butterflies, the colorful silk threads weaving lightly between their fingertips, making a soft, rhythmic rustling sound as the needle and thread flew up and down.
Qin Qianluo stood to the side, her eyes following the embroiderers' movements closely, her eyes filled with anticipation and curiosity.
She would sometimes lean closer to observe the needlework, and sometimes nod slightly, expressing her appreciation for the embroiderers' exquisite skills.
The embroiderers worked quickly and efficiently, and soon the table was filled with finished products.
The men's clothing features clean, bold lines and a tailored fit, while the women's clothing is delicate and feminine, with fine, lively stitching at the openings.
Qin Qianluo stepped forward and picked up a women's item to examine it closely.
From the fine and even stitches to the perfectly designed pattern, every detail showcases the embroiderers' superb skills.
She checked the clothes several more times. Apart from the lack of elastic waistbands common in modern clothing, these clothes needed to be secured with an additional rope around the waist.
The rest of the design is almost identical to modern styles.
After organizing the information, Qin Qianluo fell into deep thought. Each of the six departments had its own responsibilities, but after much deliberation, she couldn't determine which department should be responsible for matters related to these garments.
After much hesitation, she decided to hand these things over to the Ministry of Revenue, since the Ministry of Revenue was in charge of many people's livelihood matters and might be able to find a more suitable solution.
Therefore, she had the compiled materials and samples handed over to the Minister of Revenue, so that they could find suitable people to further study and promote them.
Gu Qingshi's gaze was instantly drawn to these novel clothing styles, and the image of his wife's daily attire involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
Looking at these exquisitely designed clothes, a slight blush rose to his cheeks, as if he were thinking of something.
He quickly regained his composure and methodically arranged the various tasks.
While everyone was busy, he took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and quietly picked out a women's style.
He carefully put it into his personal bag, intending to give it to his wife to try on after returning home.
In his mind, the simple clothes his wife wore on ordinary days, though made of fine material, were not very comfortable.
The new style brought by King Jinrui Zhao looks incredibly soft and comfortable.
He eagerly anticipated how his wife would look in the new clothes, imagining her surprised and satisfied expression, and a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.
The carriage slowly made its way back to the mansion, its wheels rolling steadily over the smooth cement road with a "gurgling" sound.
The sound was like a gentle pastoral song, adding a touch of leisurely rhythm to the journey home.
Qin Qianluo leaned lightly against the soft brocade cushion, her gaze lingering on the scenery outside the window through the carved window lattice, her heart filled with a surging tide of emotions.
Whether it's the wide official road connecting all directions or the winding paths leading deep into the villages, everything underfoot is covered by smooth cement roads.
In the past, the roads were muddy and difficult to navigate on rainy days, making it hard for pedestrians and vehicles to move around. Now, the clean and flat roads make travel easy and pleasant.
Sunlight streamed down, giving the road a faint silvery sheen, so clean it shone brightly, as if this road not only connected urban and rural areas, but also led Tianxuan towards a new future.
Looking out over the outskirts of Beijing, the dilapidated, messy, and crumbling thatched houses have completely disappeared, replaced by orderly rows of brick and tile houses.
These houses are arranged in a staggered pattern, and their blue tiles gleam with an antique luster under the sunlight.
The spotless white walls, set against the backdrop of lush green trees, create a tranquil and idyllic pastoral scene.
A gentle breeze rustled the leaves, and the distant barking of dogs added to the warm atmosphere of everyday life.
On the road, people came and went in a bustling crowd, each with a bright smile on their face, a smile full of satisfaction with the present life and anticipation for the future.
Their clothing was no longer uniformly gray and monotonous, but colorful and eye-catching.
The women wore colorful skirts embroidered with exquisite patterns, and as they walked, the hems of their skirts swayed gently, like blooming flowers.
The men were dressed in brand-new cloth shirts, their posture upright and full of energy.
Everyone had rosy complexions and plump figures; the emaciated and sallow appearance they once had due to hunger and hardship had long since disappeared.
What is being shown today is the health and vitality nurtured by an affluent lifestyle.
The carriage moved slowly forward, passing fertile fields. Qin Qianluo looked up and gazed into the distance, where the fields were a scene of abundant harvests.
The heavy ears of wheat swayed gently in the breeze, as if offering their sincerest gratitude to the hardworking people.
The plump grains clustered tightly together, shimmering with a dazzling golden light under the gentle caress of the sun.
This golden expanse carries the hope of a bountiful harvest.
It also filled everyone who saw it with a sense of peace and satisfaction, as if all their efforts had been rewarded in this moment.
On the edge of the field, several children were laughing and playing, chasing each other and holding homemade windmills in their hands.
The colorful windmills spin rapidly in the wind, making cheerful "whoosh" sounds, blending into the idyllic harvest scenery and creating a vibrant picture of rural life.
As the carriage slowly entered the capital, the shops lining both sides of the street were a sight to behold.
Those old, dilapidated wooden windows that used to be poorly lit have now been replaced with bright and clear glass windows.
Sunlight streamed through the glass without obstruction, illuminating the wide array of merchandise inside the store with exceptional clarity.
