The group of people quickly walked to the side of the stream. This time, they saw the farmer woman holding a bundle of snow-white wool in her hand and knitting clothes. The child was wearing a snow-white shirt and playing happily in the stream.
Although it was a blazing sun today, the cold wind was still bone-piercing. Even the few of them with strong figures were wrapped up tightly, especially Yuchi Gong, whose entire body was almost wrapped up.
However, this child's clothes were so thin, yet he was still playing with the water as if he did not feel cold at all.
Li Shi Min and the others were shocked by this scene.
"Minister Fang, you are very knowledgeable. Do you know what that child is wearing?”
Li Shi Min asked as he looked at the snow-white child.
Such clothes looked really cute on a child, like an angel sent by the heavens.
"This…"
Fang Xuanling looked at it carefully and then at the wool in the woman's hand. He couldn't help but hesitate.
"Your Majesty, it looks like a hemp thread, but this subject has never seen a pure white hemp thread before. This seems unlikely.”
The hemp thread was usually dark in color. Even if it was dyed with a bleached dye, it was absolutely impossible to make it so white and flawless. Moreover, the cost of dyeing clothes was very expensive. How could an ordinary village woman afford it?
"Hmm…could it be the Heavenly Silkworm Robe? I heard that the thread spat out by the heavenly silkworm is white!”
"Go to hell! Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. How could heavenly silk be so thick?”
" Why are you thinking so much? Why don't you go up and ask? You guys are really…"
The group of old High Dukes began to argue loudly, causing a few farmers who were doing farm work to look over. However, they did not have any strange expressions. After taking a look, they continued to work.
Every time a tourist passed by, they would exclaim in surprise. They were already used to it.
"Big sister, what are you weaving? Can you show me?”
While the High Dukes were still debating, Li Shi Min walked over, lowered his head, and asked with a friendly smile.
Since he was visiting in civilian clothes, he naturally could not put on the airs of an emperor. He looked like a rich businessman.
"You…who are you?"
The woman was engrossed in her weaving. When she heard this, she quickly raised her head. When she saw the group of people surrounding her, her expression immediately became a little uncomfortable. She said,
"Are you from the city?"
Just by looking at these people's clothes, she knew that they were not ordinary people. How could ordinary people afford to wear brocade hats and mink furs!
" Yes, yes. We are from Chang 'an and are here for a walk. Can this thing..."
Li Shiming became more and more friendly. He reached out his hand to touch the snow-white ball of yarn, but the woman held it in her hand and refused to give it to him.
"What are you doing, trying to snatch my wool! This is the dress I added for myself!”
That ball of yarn was like her lifeblood. No matter what Li Shiming said, even if he promised her a lot of money, she wouldn't give it to him.
"You peasant woman, how rude! Your Majesty…Old Master is just looking, he's not going to snatch it from you, what are you worried about!”
Zhangsun Wuji snorted and said unhappily.
His harsh words immediately scared the child who was playing to tears. This child was usually full and his throat was loud, making everyone feel embarrassed.
"Ancestors, don't be rude to the people!”
Li Shiming's face darkened as he ordered Zhangsun Wuji to retreat. He then revealed what he thought was his most friendly smile. Just as he was about to persuade Zhangsun Wuji, a voice came from behind him,
"Ah Ping, let the guests take a look.”
When everyone heard this, they all turned their heads and saw an old man walking over with a walking stick. He even had a kind smile on his face.
His words were very effective. The village woman named Ah Ping listened and nodded. She immediately handed the wool ball in her hand to Li Shimin and said,
"I'm just showing you. Don't even think about it.”
Li Shiming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was an emperor, why would he rob a village woman?
Even if it was a piece of jade, he wouldn't care, okay?
Although he said that, the moment he held the wool ball, his gaze was completely attracted. The warm and soft feeling in his hand immediately made his fingers tremble.
"What kind of treasure is this? Why is it so warm?”
Li Shiming was completely excited. He carefully handed the wool ball to Fang Xuanling and said,
"You guys try to feel it and see if you feel anything!”
Starting from Fang Xuanling, and even Zhangsun Wuji, everyone trembled the moment they touched it, unable to let go. In the end, those old fellows refused to let go no matter what. They were so anxious that they were about to fight!
Looking at this scene, Ah Ping was extremely conflicted. Her face revealed an unhappy expression as she shouted,
"You bunch of uncivilized people who haven't seen the world, don't break it!”
After a long time, the ball of wool finally returned to Ah Ping's hands. She looked at the white wool thread, which was stained with a few ugly fingerprints. She glared at the few dukes and pulled the child away.
"I shouldn't have come out today!"”
Her actions made Li Shi Min and the others feel extremely embarrassed. The Emperor and a few Dukes were actually ridiculed by a village woman. This was really embarrassing.
"Everyone, what do you feel? Tell me!”
Li Shi Min rubbed his hands and asked excitedly.
"It's too warm, too warm! It felt like he was holding his hand in a heater!”
"Yes, the key is that the texture is very soft. If you wear it, it must be very comfortable, right?”
"Isn't that child wearing it? If it wasn't for the fact that the child's shirt was too small, he really wanted to pull it over and try it on!”
"It feels like wool…But how can wool be made into such a yarn? This is really strange."
The various High Dukes expressed their own opinions and spoke in high spirits. Their spittle flew everywhere as they wanted to experience that feeling again.
However, because of their rude behavior, Ah Ping did not want them to experience it again. Now that they had run away, she could only regretfully reminisce.
Even Li Shi Min sighed and reprimanded,
"How many times have I told you! You're not illiterate warlords now. Can you be more reserved, huh? Can you not be so anxious, like a country bumpkin, this…this master has lost all his face because of you!”
After saying that, he snorted coldly and turned his head away, as if he was still angry.
Cheng Yaojin, who was at the side, lowered his head and complained in a low voice,
"You're the one who pinched the ball the most vigorously. You're almost distorting the ball of yarn..."
