Days go by so quickly when people have something to do.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

This day Yao Ruowei's mother Shi came, and Zi Ling happened to be outside, so she accompanied her into the house.

Mama Shi entered the house and greeted Xu Chun with a smile: "Hi Ma'am, my lady ordered me to come and bring you some fruit."

She was carrying an exquisite food box in her hand, and no one else followed.

"Mom, please sit down," Xu Chunjun said with a smile, "How is the county magistrate?"

"Okay, I just need to be busy. Firstly, the prince is going to celebrate his birthday, and secondly, it's the end of the year, so I have to make arrangements to give some gifts to relatives and friends." Mother Shi replied.

"Isn't that right? I just asked Ziling to pack up some special products here so that someone can send them back to Beijing." Xu Chunjun said.

"My lady and your lord are both from the capital, so there are naturally many relatives and friends there. We are far away now, and we can't meet each other, why don't we prepare some gifts!"

"I see that my mother has lost some weight recently, but is the house too busy?" Zi Ling asked with a smile while bringing a cup of tea to Shi's mother.

"It's true that I lost some weight, just because my little grandson was sick a few days ago, and I was busy taking care of him, so I couldn't eat well or sleep well every day." Shi's mother said.

"People from the previous generation are always more partial." Xu Chunjun said, "I remember that my mother can drink some wine, Qian'er, my natal family sent a lot of things, there are a few bottles of Huiquan wine for you Take two bottles."

"Hey, you can't do that. I'm just an old woman, how can I deserve to drink such a good wine? Ma'am, please keep it for guests!" Mother Shi waved her hands quickly after hearing this.

"I told my mother earlier, you don't need to be polite to us." Xu Chunjun said, "I'll ask them to take it to the car for you later."

Mother Shi is naturally very grateful.

Every time she came to Xu Chunjun's place, she never went back empty-handed, so she felt that Xu Chunjun was a good person.

"Mom came today just in time, otherwise I would have sent someone to look for you." Xu Chunjun's originally fair and delicate cheeks had a few freckles due to pregnancy, but it was not ugly, but added a little playfulness to her.

"What orders does the eldest lady have for the old man?" Mother Shi asked hurriedly after hearing this.

"It's just that I have already done the work that the county magistrate asked me to do." Xu Chunjun said with a smile, "Zi Ling, bring it here."

Zi Ling went behind the screen, and turned around after a while, holding two bundles in her hands, both of which were brought by Shi's mother before.

Put one of them on the table and open it, and inside are two new pairs of shoes.

Mother Shi looked at it and said: "Hey, young lady, I made two pairs! Our lady said that we can make one pair."

Xu Chunjun said: "Although the county lord told me to make one pair, I still made two pairs. The materials used are different. If the prince doesn't like that pair, there is still this pair to replace."

"Miss, you are really a thoughtful person, you are so considerate in everything." Madam Shi picked up the two pairs of shoes made by Xu Chunjun as she spoke, looked at them, touched them, and praised, "Look at these shoes. A good job! It took two weeks to get two pairs of shoes out, it's really hard work, big lady."

"My skills are limited, but since the county lord believes in me, I have to do my best." Xu Chunjun said, "Mom, after you take it back, tell the county lord that the heels of the two pairs of shoes are not locked. .”

"Hey, hey!" Mother Shi quickly agreed, "I'll take it back and let the county master sew it on himself."

Ziling took down the food box brought by Shi's mother, took out the snacks inside, and filled it with some fruits from her own house.

Turn around and let Mother Shi take it back, so as not to lack etiquette.

Here Mother Shi said a few more words before getting up to leave.

Ziling ordered a little girl to carry the food box, and she took two bundles.

One of them contained two pairs of new shoes made by Xu Chunjun, and the other contained the old shoes of King Huaiyang.

Mother Shi came in a carriage, and Ziling sent her to the carriage and helped her put her things in order.

The carriage went out one street, Mama Shi said to the driver: "Go to my house first, then I will enter the mansion through the back door later."

Their family lived on the back street of the Wangfu, and it took dozens of steps to reach the back door of the Wangfu.

Yao Ruowei lived in the back yard, and it was more convenient to go through the back door than the front door.

The coachman then drove the carriage directly to the door of Mama Shi's house, and Mama Shi got out of the carriage.

There is also a little girl in their family, who hurried out to meet her.

Mama Shi asked her to open the food box and distributed some snacks to the coachman.

She knew that Yao Ruowei didn't need these snacks, so she shared them directly.

Then let the little girl carry the empty food box, and came in through the back door with two bags on her shoulders.

At this time, Yao Ruowei had just returned to her room, and when she saw Mama Shi came back with a bundle in her hand, she asked, "Why, is it ready yet?"

Mother Shi smiled and said, "Didn't you do it? You even made two pairs!"

Yao Ruowei opened the bag and saw that both pairs were sleeping shoes.

One pair has a navy blue upper with a moon white lining.

Another pair has smoke green uppers and a cinnamon pink satin lining.

"It's the first time I've seen someone make pink linings for men's shoes." Yao Ruowei picked up the shoes and looked at them carefully, "But the color matches surprisingly well.

And these shoes are really soft and light, so they must be very comfortable to wear. "

"The lady of the Zheng family also said that there is a replacement for making an extra pair." Shi's mother said.

"I'm afraid this Mrs. Zheng has an exquisite heart. She can do everything better than you think." Yao Ruowei was very satisfied, "I wish I had half as much intelligence and talent as her."

"According to the old slave, it is very unnecessary. Although Mrs. Zheng is very smart and virtuous, but she has grown up to such an age, she has suffered so much and suffered so much. How can she be as lucky as you, miss?" Shi Mom said.

"That's true. I heard that she is also a concubine! And she has lost her biological mother since she was a child. Besides, the Xu family's family fortune has suffered a lot in the past few years. You don't need to think about it. It must be difficult." Yao Ruowei sighed.

"Miss Zheng also said that you have to sew the heels of these two pairs of shoes yourself." Mother Shi said with a smile.

"That's right, didn't I tell her to leave some needles for me before, so I should give her a name anyway." Yao Ruo asked Mother Shi to find needles and threads with a smile.

With just a few stitches, she was extra careful, and she couldn't make a big mistake.

Every year on King Huaiyang's birthday, most of the women's rolls at home are needlework made by himself.

They don't send them one by one. They were all delivered on the morning of King Huaiyang's birthday. People from each room were sent to deliver the work, and they were put there, under the supervision of a special person.

At that time, if the prince likes to wear it, he will ask who gave it to him if he likes it.

On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, King Huaiyang's birthday saw the biggest snowfall since winter.

I don't know if it's because of Zheng Wuji's arrival this year, the King of Huaiyang has stated before that he will not have a birthday, and he will not accept birthday gifts from anyone.

However, Xu Chunjun still ordered a few gifts and ordered someone to send them over.

They are all ordinary longevity peach noodles, plus two pieces of Fushou flower balls for clothing.
