Super-rich: Spending money is just a job!

Around noon, Xiaomeng arrived in Jinling. Manager Teng and the others hadn't arrived yet; their plane was expected to land that evening. Xiaomeng arrived a little earlier.

Xiaomeng left her luggage at the front desk of the five-star hotel and then asked the hotel to introduce a private guide to tour around Jinling City.

Many attractions in Nanjing now require reservations three days in advance, but Xiaomeng has a tour guide.

One afternoon, the tour guide planned two attractions for her: the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and the Qinhuai River.

We had lunch at the Meiyuan restaurant in the Jinling Hotel, where we ordered the most famous local dish: duck blood and vermicelli soup. The vermicelli soup was delicious and the duck blood was tender and smooth. After finishing a bowl, Xiaomeng felt warm and cozy inside.

Another plate of salted duck and some specialty steamed buns made for a very satisfying meal.

After having a full meal, we got into a taxi called by the tour guide and drove for about ten kilometers before arriving at the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum.

In autumn, the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is surrounded by beautiful autumn leaves. Strolling along the paths inside the mausoleum, one feels as if a beautiful dome is supporting them from above.

Some of the forest paths hadn't been swept in time and looked like they were covered with a golden carpet.

The tour guide helped Xiaomeng take many beautiful photos on these quiet and beautiful forest paths; they were truly stunning.

Climb Niushou Mountain, overlook Nanjing, visit Meiling Palace, and experience the luxurious lifestyle of the presidents of the Republic of China.

In the evening, we found a small, down-to-earth Huaiyang cuisine restaurant by the Qinhuai River, and ate Huaiyang dishes with the tour guide while enjoying the illuminated boats on the Qinhuai River.

Xiaomeng felt that she was now indeed quite wealthy, like someone who had just arrived in Yangzhou.

Back at the hotel, recalling the splendor of the ancient capital I had experienced during the day, I fabricated a romantic love story about a young marshal from the Republic of China era and a flower girl from the Qinhuai River, and posted it on my media account to satisfy my readers.

It seems that love stories are not very popular these days. Fortunately, they are short stories. If the plot twist is well written, they should still have some market.

……

The next day, at the breakfast buffet restaurant of a five-star hotel, after a long time, Manager Teng finally saw his "big client" employee again and quickly showered Xiaomeng with concern.

Manager Teng brought Xiaoping along on this business trip, which made Xiaomeng very happy. The two of them had endless gossip to share during their meal.

At nine o'clock in the morning, they met up with friends from another silk museum at the Zhiranzhai Museum and held an industry exchange seminar together.

After the meeting, the other party invited the friends from out of town to visit their factory and showroom.

Xiaomeng finally gained a systematic understanding of the samples, processes, and current status of modern applications of various silk fabrics.

With professional guidance, she was taught to distinguish between fine silks, satins, and brocades, and even had the opportunity to touch them herself.

For example, "绫" refers to silk fabric with obvious diagonal lines, "罗" refers to fabric with a striped garter weave and openwork on the surface, and "缎" refers to silk fabric with a satin weave, where the warp or weft yarns form continuous floats on the surface, giving the fabric a distinct luster and smoothness, and so on.

Many people in modern society probably only recognize the Chinese characters for "绫罗绸缎" (lingluochouduan) from idioms, and have no idea how to distinguish between these different types of fabrics.

In the exhibition hall, Xiaomeng saw the "Yunjin" fabric, which is known as soft gold, for the first time.

Yunjin, along with Sichuan Shujin and Suzhou Songjin, are collectively known as the "Three Great Ming Brocades," with Yunjin being hailed as the foremost of the three.

Furthermore, the craftsmanship of Nanjing brocade cannot be industrialized to this day. It can only be produced slowly by skilled textile artisans with decades of experience, weaving one shuttle at a time, producing only a few centimeters a day.

The guide explained that Yun brocade is divided into four main categories: gold-woven brocade, ku brocade, ku satin, and zhuanghua brocade.

When Xiaomeng saw the brocade with floral patterns, she suddenly paused for a moment. Wait, why does this thing look so much like her own green-themed horse-face skirt?

So, my horse-face skirt was made of brocade with floral patterns?

I didn't look closely when I wore it; I thought the pattern was printed.

No wonder that dress cost 50,000 yuan. She thought Xiong Da was just asking for an exorbitant price. She really misunderstood him. Hehe.
