Chapter 194 Measure the Size and Make Clothes
Accompanied by the playing of the flute, the group of three finally saw the scene in front of them clearly.
The four corners of a pino-length silk were dragged by four maids to slowly unfurl it. The patterns on it were faintly visible through the spring breeze and sunlight. For a while, it looked like a butterfly was flying, and for a while, it seemed like a butterfly had landed on the pistil.
Just look at it like this, one foot, two feet, three feet... until the fifth foot.
The maids standing at the four corners stopped, and Jiang Yueying turned around gracefully.
Before she could speak, Sun Peifang had already started to make up her mind.
Amitabha, God, there is no silk in their village, mainly because they don’t have silkworms, and Youzhou can’t raise silkworms either.
This concubine has seen the big scene, so she may not understand the lives of ordinary people, it doesn't matter if she doesn't understand, just don't order blindly.
If it is said that the purpose of letting their embroidery workshop take over the big order is to weave such gorgeous and beautiful silk, then it would be better to kill them directly.
Don't cut your flesh here.
"This is the silk from the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau bestowed by the Holy Majesty. After you have measured it, use it to make some clothes for me."
As soon as the words fell, Sun Peifang complied and almost fainted with joy.
She just said, this thing doesn't look like ordinary products, and ordinary people can't make it, so only the weaving bureau directly under the government can make it.
"This……"
Zhou Huan bit his lip, staring at the five-foot-long silk in a daze.
At this time, Jiang Yueying finally saw in Zhou Huan's eyes the narrowness that some girls from small families should have.
That's right, let alone a girl from the countryside.
Even in Yanjing, the noble ladies of other famous families also had to salute when they saw her.
It's not because of how powerful her husband's family is, but because of her grandfather, who is the most famous person in Daye.
The founding father of the Zongma battlefield, the veteran of the three dynasties who assisted the court, and the second-rank general.
Don't get me wrong, the second rank is already the highest rank for a military officer.
The emperor had nothing to reward, so he had to give her family's grandmother and aunt a first-class imperial wife.
With such an identity, who would not be afraid to see it?
Jiang Yueying was secretly happy in her heart, thinking that she finally had her younger brother's "Master Faithful", but she still asked calmly on the surface: "What's wrong? Can't it be done?"
Zhou Huan shook his head, since it was just making clothes, it was the same as before, but he didn't know if the material could be breathable.
Jiang Yueying was at a loss for words.
It was she who was negligent, and only cared about asking the servants to bring out the silk bestowed by the Holy Majesty, but forgot that this material was originally ordered by the mother in the palace to make winter clothes.
And now it's just spring, if he stays in Youzhou forever, he should hurry up and make summer clothes.
Jiang Yueying blushed a little for a while, and quickly ordered Cuiyun to take out the materials recently sent by the palace.
At this time, Jiang Yueying stopped pretending, one was afraid that she would be self-defeating again, and the other was also pretending to be tired and lazy.
I want to go back to the house quickly to measure the size.
With this size, Jiang Yueying began to have a lot of good feelings for the people in this peach blossom village.
For example, Sun Xiunu, who measured her figure, also has two children, both of whom are girls.
As you measure the clothes for her, you can tell how many inches the clothes should be looser than they are now. Based on this time, how big your stomach should be when you can wear the clothes they made.
This ability seems to be more powerful than the nuns in the palace.
Sun Peifang was no longer nervous.
Because this concubine is an excellent person, unlike those women in the backyard of the county government, she never speaks to them arrogantly, nor does she embarrass them.
I respect them very much.
"Naturally, the outside is different from the inside of the palace, how can ordinary people like women compare with the nuns in the palace.
People in the palace are not short of food and clothing, and the cost of food and clothing is the best. Naturally, criminals will not be so fussy about clothing materials like civilian women.
But in ordinary people's homes, a piece of clothing has to be worn for many years, and it has to be made to have a changeable effect if it is tall, short, fat, or thin.
So, if a woman makes a good-fitting dress for others, but the clothes become too small after wearing them for a few days, wouldn't that be a waste of money?
Hehe, just don't dislike the pettiness of the women. "
Jiang Yueying listened with great interest, not only did not refute, but nodded in agreement.
In fact, the money in this palace is not as abundant as before. Although she is a boudoir woman who has not participated in the government affairs, she can tell from the food and drink at home that the current life is getting more and more frugal every day.
Let's take His Majesty's birthday this time as an example, his old man's birthday is a national event, and in previous years, he would hold a banquet in the imperial garden for all the officials to congratulate him.
Just to listen to Kunqu opera, you have to invite the best opera troupe from Jiangnan, and the imperial dining room has to start preparing the dinner for the day more than half a year in advance.
But this time, all the things she said in previous years were gone. It was as if the Holy Majesty had a casual meal with his own family and chatted about family affairs and business affairs, and the whole night passed.
The Holy Majesty said that being diligent in the country and thrifty in the family, the strength of the country lies in the customs, so the national customs and folk customs should be based on these words.
Right now, their family has made a big mistake, but luckily the big mistake did not lead to an irreversible mistake, and everything was saved under Jiang He's management.
But if you can spend a lot of money watching a play like before, I'm afraid it won't be possible.
This is still their confident family, and the rest are nothing more than wealth in front of people.
Jiang Yueying smiled, "Then please trouble Mrs. Sun, this material should be used to the best of its ability, if there are leftovers that can be used to make some handkerchiefs, then just make a few handkerchiefs."
Sun Peifang nodded and said: "Don't worry, the concubine, the woman will never be blind to such a good material. Waiting for the woman to make a few more square scarves, it will be good for the little prince to use as a bib in the future."
Really, such material is useless if not used, and they dare not keep such a good thing privately.
Taking it out is so eye-catching, it is easy to be targeted by thieves.
After a while, all the places that should be measured have been measured, but Shi Zifei is not willing to let him go.
Looking closely at Zhou Huan, who has been silent since the beginning, Sun Peifang and Xiaohua are very sensible after staying in this atmosphere for a long time.
After going out with Miss Cuiyun, I went to the account house to collect the reward money.
At that time, only the smiling Jiang Yueying and the bewildered Zhou Huan were left in the room.
She looked at Zhou Huan, as if she wished to see this man's bones.
"I haven't asked the girl how old she is this year."
"Fifteen."
Jiang Yueying smiled, as if she was very satisfied with this flower's age: "I told you that my brother mentioned you in the letter, you should have an impression, right?"
Zhou Huan nodded.
"It's no wonder my younger brother cares so much about you if you're so smart."
Zhou Huan froze for a moment, "Minister, I don't understand what Shi Zifei means."
Jiang Yueying didn't shy away from it either. She twisted her sideways body at this time, and said to Zhou Huan face to face: "Aren't you already my younger brother? Don't you?"
Zhou Huan's right eye twitched, and his heart became a grassland, and tens of thousands of grass and mud horses galloped out in an instant.
