Chapter 22: The first encounter with another world 02
"That's all?" Yi Shuihan said in disappointment. It was either too thick or not flexible enough. It was far from what she wanted. A feast of passionate pictures
The shopkeeper was not happy when the visitor said this. His shop was well-known in the Imperial City and the quality was of high quality. Many dignitaries had specified that they wanted to order items from his shop.
"Sir, this is already the best silk thread in the city. You will definitely not be able to buy it anywhere else better than my store."
Yi Shuihan shook her fan, walked out of the shop, and went to several blacksmith shops to check out the quality. The quality was similar, but it was far from what she wanted.
While walking, I saw Gu Xiangrong selling calligraphy and paintings again, so I went over to say hello.[
Gu Xiangrong said happily: "Master Yi, I see you again."
Yi Shuihan didn't see Gu Changfeng, so he asked, "Why are you alone? Where is your brother?"
Gu Xiangrong said with a worried look: "The imperial examination is coming soon. My brother is studying at home. He has been under great pressure recently and has lost a lot of weight."
Yi Shuihan thought that the imperial examination was probably like her law exam. She had never been nervous or stressed. It was just an exam. If she failed, she would just change her career.
But Yi Shuihan doesn't know that not everyone is as carefree and carefree as she is, not to mention that Gu Changfeng Hanchuang studied hard for ten years just for this year's imperial examination, to stand out and shine, and he won the imperial examination.
The chance of winning may be lower than the chance of winning a lottery ticket. How could Gu Changfeng not be stressed?
Gu Xiangrong asked: "What is Mr. Yi doing out here?"
Yi Shuihan said: "Come out and buy something."
Gu Xiangrong saw that he only had a fan on his waist and his hands were empty, so he said, "Master Yi, you haven't bought it yet? The market is about to close, Master Yi, why don't you go buy it soon."
Yi Shuihan sighed: "I've been walking all day, but I haven't bought anything yet."
Gu Xiangrong asked suspiciously: "What do you want to buy, Mr. Yi? You haven't bought anything all day long?"
"I want to buy a very tough silk thread, so tough that even a knife can't cut it."
"Silk thread that can be cut with a knife is so precious. How can you just buy it in an ordinary store?"
Yi Shuihan thought about it and realized that even in the 21st century, nanotechnology-based thin wires are not easily available, and they are still very expensive. What's more, in this era where there are not even bicycles, the concepts and common sense of that era cannot be used.
Get caught up in this era.
Gu Xiangrong said: "Why don't Mr. Yi go to Yueshangshanglou to have a look? They sell all kinds of strange treasures there. Maybe there is something Mr. Yi is looking for."
Yi Shuihan ignited a little more hope and asked: "How to get to Yueshangstairs?"
Gu Xiangrong pointed the way, and Yi Shuihan said goodbye to Gu Xiangrong and walked upstairs to Xiangyue.
This month's building is located almost at the end of East Street. It is built on the lakeside and hidden among the green trees. The building is five stories high and has a hexagonal shape. It is a bit like a lighthouse. There are no buildings around. The environment is quiet and covered with greenery.
, there are no passers-by.
A five-story building is considered tall in this era, and the top of this month's stairs is a hexagonal dome, which is difficult to construct. It can be seen that this month's stairs can be regarded as an ornamental building in this era.

Yueshanglou is not like an ordinary shop, but like a museum. The huge lobby only has a few coffee tables for receiving guests. There are not many furnishings, but it does not appear empty. Instead, it looks dignified and elegant, and there is also a faint scent of incense.
