Chapter 563 The villain's vicious ex-wife 10
After the house was built, people moved in, and had more than 500 taels of silver in hand, Wushuang wanted to take a good rest for a while and prepare a dowry for Feng Siniang, but she was very busy.

While Wushuang was resting, the set of filigree inlaid hairstyles she made for Feng Siniang became popular. Not long after Wushuang came back, Feng Siniang was going to get married.

Before getting married, there is one of the most important links, that is, putting on the dowry. The set of filigree-inlaid heads was placed on the first dowry by Mrs. Li.

When posting the dowry, the better the dowry, the more attention the family attaches to the daughter, and the more face it has, and a set of filigree inlaid hair will undoubtedly bring a sensational response.

The skill of this set of filigree inlaid head is even better than that of the old master. After the head is finished, the head is like a whole, and the flowers and leaves are shaking and lifelike.

This set of filigree-inlaid heads and faces earned a lot of face for Mrs. Li and Feng Siniang on the day of the dowry, and also attracted the attention of many ladies and even old ladies.

Some people were tempted by the sight and wanted to do it themselves, and there were those who loved their daughters and granddaughters, thinking that if their children married with such a dignified appearance, they would definitely have face, and the husband's family would also look up to them.

Because of various considerations, after Feng Siniang finished showing off her dowry, Tong Zhifu suddenly had many guests, all of whom came to inquire who made Feng Siniang this set of filigree inlaid heads.

In many cases, filigree inlay is a special skill of the royal family, and it is not allowed to be used by anyone except the royal family.

Otherwise, Wushuang didn't have to worry about finding other ways out at first, and making her one tael of silver into a filigree-studded hairpin would be enough to turn around.

It's just that Wushuang didn't know at the beginning that officials' families were allowed to wear filigree inlaid ornaments, as long as the style did not exceed the limit.

Wushuang only knew this when Mrs. Li lamented that there were no good gold and silver masters in Beidi, and that they couldn't make filigree inlaid heads.

At that time, Wushuang decided to make a set of filigree-inlaid haircuts for Feng Siniang. One was to make money. From ancient times to the present, filigree-inlaid products have been luxury goods.

If Wu Shuang made Feng Siniang such a long face, Mrs. Li would definitely not be stingy about the reward.

Second, it is for the sake of fame. If everyone knows that she has the ability to make filigree inlaid heads, without her coming to the door, interested wives and ladies will automatically send business to the door.

In fact, both of Wushuang's ideas came to fruition. When she was resting at home until the third day, a retired wife of Mrs. Chen Ge sent someone to invite Wushuang to Chen's residence.

This old Chen Ge is a legendary figure in the Northland. In this dynasty, the style of study in the Northland has never been as strong as that in the South, and there are not many students. It is recognized that his talents are not as good as those in the South.

Even when you open a course to obtain a scholar, you have to take care of the students from the north, set up the north and south rankings, and prevent the students from the north from competing with the students from the south.

In the imperial court, the students from the north were not promoted as fast as the students from the south, and they were valued more.

However, Mr. Chen Ge was a rare scholar who went out to the north. He was the number one scholar at the time, and later he rose all the way to become the elder of Ge.

Later, he was also getting older, and he didn't want to experience the danger of the prince seizing the heir, so he simply retired bravely, and asked to be released from office and return home.

The first emperor tried to persuade him to stay several times, seeing that Mr. Chen Ge was determined, so he had no choice but to allow Mr. Chen Ge to retire from his post and rest.

After Chen Ge became an official, he did not stay in the mansion bestowed by the emperor in the capital for the elderly, but returned to his hometown in Beidi with his family.

Although Mr. Chen Gel has retired from office and has no official position, but he has many students and many good friends in court, no one dares to make him unhappy.

It's just that Mr. Chen Ge always thanked guests behind closed doors, and he didn't easily interact with people. On weekdays, few people could enter the gate of Chen's residence.

When Wushuang was in Tongzhifu, Mrs. Li often talked to Wushuang about the relationship between these officials in the Northland. She once talked about Chen Ge being deserted and not welcoming guests at home.

Wu Shuang was a little worried that Mrs. Chen Ge was not a good person to get along with. She didn't expect to find out that the other party was a very kind-hearted old lady with a very gentle attitude.

Wushuang saluted: "Wu Shuang has seen the old lady, the old lady is blessed and safe."

Mrs. Chen Ge smiled warmly at Wu Shuang and said: "Please get up, Miss Wu Shuang, I have called you here this time, because I want you to make two filigree-inlaid heads and faces for my two little granddaughters, as the bottom of the box. dowry."

Although I knew it would happen, but when I heard it, Wushuang still felt a burst of joy, and said: "Of course, I don't know if the old lady has a ready-made trick for me to follow, or let me design it casually, or let me do it." Take a look at the two granddaughters of the old lady, and let me do it like a human."

Don't underestimate the head jewelry. The golden hairpin on the head is not worn indiscriminately. If it doesn't look good, it's fine.

The first thing people see when they go out are the hairpins on their heads, not people wearing jewelry. Only when they are just right can they add luster and complement each other.

Mrs. Chen Ge said: "Miss Wu Shuang's ability is astonishing, and I have seen the changes of the fourth lady of the Feng family, so naturally I can trust you.

Lao Shen will let my two granddaughters come out for you to take a look, and you can decide what style of hair you want. "

After Mrs. Chen Ge finished speaking, she asked people to go to the back and call the two young ladies over. Wushuang didn't wait long before two teenage girls arrived.

Of these two girls, one looked lively and cheerful, and the other looked quiet and peaceful. They were both granddaughters of Mrs. Chen Ge.

As soon as the two girls came in, they looked at Wushuang curiously. After Wushuang and the two girls said hello, they stepped forward to look at it carefully, and then started to draw flowers.

The beauty of a lively girl, Wushuang decided to keep her lively and add a bit of cuteness.

The quiet girl has a dignified and majestic look, and looks reliable, and the head design Wushuang designed for her highlights her demure and elegant side.

Mrs. Chen Ge is a discerning person. After Wushuang finished drawing two drawings of the head, she could tell at a glance that the head was designed to highlight the merits of her granddaughter.

This also made Mrs. Chen Ge feel more at ease, not afraid of wasting money. After all, the price of a hair inlaid with silk is not cheap. As Mrs. Ge, she can't be more stingy with money than Mrs. Li.

Satisfied with the drawings, Mrs. Chen Ge said again: "I heard that Miss Wushuang is also good at choosing clothes for people.

Miss Wushuang, please take care of the clothes in the dowry of my two granddaughters. "

Naturally, Wushuang would not refuse, and asked, "Madam, do you know if the house has prepared dowry fabrics for the two Miss Suns?"

Mrs. Chen Ge said: "Although my two little granddaughters are planning to discuss marriage, they are still young and are still too early to get married.

Although I have prepared some fabrics, they are all scarce fabrics brought from the capital, and I haven't had time to prepare the fabrics for my usual clothes. "

Wushuang expressed his understanding, meaning that the child is still young and there is no need to worry about preparing the dowry.

"The old lady also knows that I have prepared the head dress in the dowry for Miss Feng Si. At that time, I have seen the fabrics of several shopkeepers in the city.

If you can trust me, old lady, I can recommend a few shopkeepers of cloth shops for you. These houses not only have good fabrics, but also have good embroiderers, and the speed of making clothes is also fast. "

Mrs. Chen Ge said happily: "Since Miss Wushuang has experience, then it's up to you to decide. I have no objection."

Wushuang decided to call the shots, and found three shopkeepers who thought the fabrics were good last time, including shopkeeper Zhu.

Shopkeeper Zhu is the largest cloth shop in the three families, and the other two cloth shops are not big, but the quality of the cloth is the best, the color is also good-looking, and the tailoring skills of the family's embroiderers are good.

When the people arrived, Wushuang had already selected the precious cloth that Mrs. Chen Ge prepared for her two granddaughters.

Among them, the most precious ones are ten pieces of Kesi and eight pieces of Shu brocade. There is a saying that one inch of Kesi is one inch of gold, which shows how expensive it is.

The value of Shu brocade is comparable to that of Kesi, and one piece is considered rare. Mrs. Chen Ge can prepare eight out of ten pieces, which shows the importance she attaches to her two little granddaughters.

Unfortunately, in terms of color, only five pieces of Kesi and three pieces of Shu brocade can match the two girls, and the rest can only be used as dowry at the bottom of the box.

When the three cloth storekeepers arrived, Wushuang had just taken out the available Kesi and Shu brocade and arranged them.

The shopkeepers of the cloth shop brought the color samples of the fabrics, which was the idea that Wushuang thought of last time, and all the fabrics were cut to a square of two feet.

Wushuang began to compare the two girls with the fabrics one by one, and kept the one that was suitable for the color, and put the unsuitable one aside.

When choosing fabrics, Wushuang found that shopkeeper Zhu's fabrics had many more colors, which should be made of pigments prepared by heart. I have to say that shopkeeper Zhu is very good at it, and Wushuang chose more suitable fabrics.

In the end, the elder sister was suitable for 98 pieces of fabric, and the younger sister was suitable for [-] pieces of fabric.

Wushuang said to several shopkeepers of the cloth shop: "This time the clothes are not in such a hurry, after I draw the clothes pattern, whoever uses the fabric will be in charge of making it.

Same as last time, you have to do it meticulously, and the ugly words are up front. The old lady and I recommended you, and the old lady believed me before agreeing.

If you mess up this business, not only will I lose, but your store's reputation will also be ruined, and I will never introduce business to you again. "

Several shopkeepers of the cloth shop repeatedly expressed that they would never ruin Wushuang's reputation and their own signboard.

"Ms. Wushuang, don't worry, we will definitely do our best to make this dress, and we will guarantee that there will be no thread in it after it is finished."

"Yes, we will definitely take it seriously. In the future, Miss Wushuang will need you to take care of the business."

Shopkeeper Zhu didn't say anything, but he made up his mind to give Wushuang more commission. He couldn't help but smile when he thought about the money he could make from this business.

This time, I made clothes while drawing clothes, and the number of clothes made was far more than that of Feng Siniang, because I had more time.

Chen Gelao's two granddaughters are not very old, but they are only fourteen or fifteen years old. In addition to the clothes they are wearing now, Wushuang will gradually make them bigger, showing their grown-up stature.

In fact, Wushuang suggested to the old lady not to make too many clothes, because the growth rate of this person is uncertain, and the clothes made now may not fit well.

However, the old lady still decided to ask Wushuang to make the clothes. If they can't wear them, they can give them away and leave them to the younger generations in the future. The big problem is that they can wear them but they don't have to.

Because I have cooperated once, Wushuang didn't watch the whole process of making clothes this time. She was only responsible for checking whether there were any problems with the quality at the final finishing touch.

The rest of the time, Wushuang is making filigree-inlaid heads, which require gold and many precious gems. Wushuang can't take things home, and she can't afford to lose them.

Wushuang could only leave early and return late to go to and from Mr. Chen Ge's mansion. This busy work lasted from late summer to autumn and then to late winter.

In order not to suffer for Wushuang going back and forth, the old lady began to keep a charcoal stove in the carriage that picked Wushuang up and down. It was freezing outside, but the carriage was as warm as spring.

Wushuang realized the benefits of riding in a carriage, so she took the time to tell Bai Mengli and Pei Zan to remember to buy a carriage for the family, and buy a few horses, preferably one for each person, so that they can travel by car or by horse.

The people of this dynasty can use horses that do not meet the standards of military horses, but the horses cannot be slaughtered at will after raising horses, because horses can cultivate land like cattle and are protected by the law.

There were quite a lot of six horses. Pei Zan spent half a month in the horse market before he bought all six horses. He also bought two carriages and a flat frame that was convenient for pulling goods.

Just half a month before the new year, Wushuang finally got the dowry clothes of the old lady's two granddaughters, and finally Wushuang got 4000 taels of silver from the old lady.

3000 taels is the production fee for two sets of filigree inlaid heads, and 1000 taels is the cost of Wushuang's busy making clothes.

From the shopkeeper of Buzhuang, Wushuang got another 1000 taels, of which shopkeeper Guangzhu gave 500 taels alone.

However, Wushuang only took a share of 400 taels. Before Wushuang designed four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter for each member of the family, four sets of clothes in one season.

These clothes were all custom-made in Shopkeeper Zhu's shop. These clothes were only made of ordinary muslin and did not have a lot of embroidery, so the price was not expensive.

Shopkeeper Zhu gave Wushuang a very favorable price, basically equivalent to making a profit at a loss. Wushuang didn't want to take such a big advantage, but shopkeeper Zhu insisted on not charging more.

Wushuang's clothes are so cheap, in addition to the discount given by shopkeeper Zhu, it is also because Wushuang and Pei's family are ordinary people, and ordinary people are not allowed to wear silk and satin.

That is to say, for Wushuang, those shops that cost more than 100 taels of silver for a piece of clothing are not qualified to go in and buy them. It is best for ordinary people to only wear fine cotton cloth.

When Wushuang returned home, the family was busy preparing new year's goods, and Bai Mengli rolled up her sleeves and was busy frying melon seeds in the kitchen.

According to the method provided by Wushuang, the milky, caramel, spiced and original flavors were respectively fried.

Wushuang doesn't like flavorful ones. She likes fried melon seeds with original taste the most. Peel a lot of melon seeds and eat them in one bite. It's super delicious.

Seeing Wushuang come back, a large group of people surrounded Wushuang, happily asking Wushuang all kinds of things.

Wushuang answered patiently one by one, and then took out the clothes she prepared for everyone, and asked them to put them on, so she could see if they fit.
