Chapter 438 Capital style
Seeing that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Li family were stunned for a moment, the old mother quickly smiled again, "You don't have to worry about this at home. I see that your family is very kind, and nothing like this will happen again. In fact, it's not just about going to It’s the same everywhere in the capital, things are more expensive than their hometowns, people are cheap when they’re away from their hometowns, be kind, don’t be arrogant, but don’t be afraid of troubles, if you’re really afraid of troubles, everyone will come to bully you, and you’ll have a hard time.”

"Furthermore, there are many noble people in the capital, and there are many opportunities. Those with great abilities all go to the capital. In the past, a cousin of my siblings from afar went to the capital to seek a living. Later, he was selected into the Imperial Guard. Now he is also a small leader. , live a good life every day, don’t you take the wives and children at home to enjoy the blessings? Even in my hometown, I have planted thousands of acres of fertile land.” The old mother was quite envious, and sighed, “ Glorious."

Mrs. Li also said, "Well, our uncle is doing well in the capital now."

The old mother knew that a relative of the Li family was an official in the capital, so she flattered her and said, "Yes, your family is considered someone in the capital, and it doesn't count as unfamiliarity if you go there. You will settle down soon, Hanlin The courtyard is the most noble yamen, and ordinary people should respect it when they see it."

Mrs. Jiang was very ironic when she heard it, but she still said modestly, "It's just a sixth-rank official in the Imperial Academy, it's really nothing in the capital."

The old mother still smiled and said, "It's just that your family is so kind, and you don't dislike us servants. Some officials' houses are full of airs, so you can't see them, and you can't see them."

Mrs. Li said, "Yanzhi has been good-tempered since he was a child. Even my father-in-law and old lady in-law can't be better-tempered."

Everyone said that Jiang Yanzhi was in the capital, and Mrs. Li felt even more in her heart that it was good to marry her son back then, so she became more and more pleasing to Jiang's eyes.

Traveling these days, traveling thousands of miles, even by water, takes a while.During the first few days on the boat, everyone's mood was focused on the scenery outside. After waiting for a long time, it was water, water, water...so they all looked for other ways to relieve their anger.

Li Meier then took out the clothes material that she bought in Jiangning Mansion, discussed with Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Li, and cut two new clothes for each family member, so that they would be decent to wear in the capital.

Although the Li family is a well-to-do family, their daily life is not extravagant. It is too much for everyone to make two new clothes every season.In addition, since Qiu raised up, the family is busy with the two people's end of life. If they stay well, it is all kinds of human relations, packing things, preparing gifts, arranging property, saying goodbye to relatives and friends, setting up the family and going to the capital. No time to make clothes.Now that I have nothing to do on the boat, I take this opportunity to do some sewing.

Mrs. Jiang was still worried, "I'm afraid that it won't fit the style of the capital."

Li Meier said quickly, "Even if there are many nobles in the capital, people's eyes are not much different from each other. We just need to dress neatly and look good. If the style is not the same, there are no less than a hundred kinds of skirts for the women's family members. It can be said Which kind of fashion is on, let's choose the ones that are more attractive. The men's clothes are simple, just the same, just choose a few good materials. Kang Geer Jian Geer, you should also wear brand new clothes. Looks energetic!"

Mrs. Jiang agreed, but Mrs. Li had other ideas, and said, "You guys do it, you don't have to do it for me, the capital costs a lot, so you can save some."

But Li Meier said, "Then we will all wear new ones, and you will wear the old ones, which is not good." Her grandmother is not such a person, the old lady usually plays fancy and gets along with her girl In recent years, she has become more aesthetic, and her clothes can be ranked among the top ten in the state capital.

Jiang also persuaded, "Yes, mother, I think the camel-colored silk with the swastika pattern on the bottom is just right for the jacket, and it matches with a similar skirt underneath. It is rich and elegant."

Li Mei'er said, "Didn't we bring two boxes of leather, and it happened to be trimmed with fox fur, so it would be more classy."

Mrs. Li held a hand stove in her arms, and she seemed to have made up her mind, "Find out that piece of material for me first, and I will make it when I get to the capital. Can the style of the capital be the same as that of our small place? Hey, girl! You Don’t be stupid! Now you’re wasting good materials to make clothes, and when you go to the capital to see them, they’re so rustic! Do you regret it? Anyway, let’s talk about the ugliness first, so each of us will wear new clothes! The capital is not allowed to do it again! We have a lot of clothing materials!"

"The difference in styles won't be very big." Li Meier said, "The people in the capital are human beings, not gods, and they don't wear homely clothes anymore!"

"What do you know? You have been to the capital? How do you know the majesty of the emperor, my local girl." Mrs. Li made up her mind, she was going to the capital, and picked out the most fashionable old lady's dress in the capital. Make an upper body, you can't wear it in ordinary household, you have to wear the top-quality capital style clothes that you have to wear when you have to entertain guests!
So, Mrs. Jiang took her daughter and maid Baozi Wanzi and began to make clothes for the whole family, except for her mother-in-law, Li Laoniang, who was strictly forbidden to make Yinxian-style dresses for her, and she had to wait until she went to the capital to make fresh ones. Capital style.

Then, on the day of arriving in the capital, all the Li family members changed into brand new clothes. Mrs. Li didn't call it brand new, so she changed into a small sweater skirt trimmed with fox fur that was [-]% or [-]% new.

When the big ship docked, Li Yan thanked Sun Zhongyuan very gratefully. Thanks to him and his family, he arrived in the capital on time.

Sun Zhongyuan was still as handsome as ever, and asked Li's family with a warm smile, "But someone came to pick you up? It's your first time in the capital, and you are unfamiliar with the place. Why don't you take my family's carriage and go into the city together."

Li Yan naturally declined, "I wrote to my in-laws a few days ago, and it is estimated that the in-laws will arrive by now. Thank you, Mr. Sun, for your kindness."

Sun Zhongyuan didn't force himself, and asked his servants to help everyone in the Li family lift the suitcase and get off the boat.

After everyone in the Li family disembarked, Li Yan asked He Zheng, "I have found a place to live in the capital, if you haven't, you can come with us to my father-in-law's house."

He Zheng declined with a smile, "Young Master Sun has already arranged a place for me. It's not far from the Gong Yuan, and there are many other sons living with me, so I won't bother Uncle Li."

Li Yan didn't say anything else, he just thought about it, this Sun Zhongyuan didn't take care of He Zheng normally, it seems that He Zheng should really become the son-in-law of Fei Zhi County.

Because everyone from the Li family arrived at the pier relatively early, they waited for a while before waiting for the Jiang family servant who came to pick them up. Li Meier had sharp eyes and saw the Jiang family old servant Qian Yi and his wife Ding Shi at a glance, and quickly waved her hands. : "Uncle Yi and Aunt Yi, we are here!"
