"Song brocade from Suzhou? What's that?" someone in the hall asked.
Someone whose family was in the clothing industry explained to her, "That's one of the four most famous brocades in Hua. It was first used to mount calligraphy and paintings before being used for clothing. The texture is tough and soft, and it's silk that can handle wear and tear. It can be washed repeatedly without losing color and wearing out. It was a very expensive fabric during the Song Dynasty. Even now, the price of Song brocade is not low. The cost of a complete set of outfit is close to ten thousand Yuan."
"And she just tore a piece of such an expensive cloth and used it as a bag?" The man was surprised because the cloth Bai Lin used to wrap the porcelain was not hemmed. There were weaving traces on the edge of the cloth, as if it was cut and torn from a piece of cloth. This was why many people mistakenly thought that Bai Lin's bag contained a piece of junk.
