It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 594 Beautiful Shells

Su Rui finally gave Su Ying an idea. Since one of the two shops has a luxurious decoration and the other has a grand decoration, then my house should be different from them. The decoration that is simple but not lacking in luxury and grandeur is the best.

There are too many plans in Su Rui's mind for the simple, luxurious and atmospheric decoration style. After all, in modern times, she has been shopping in shopping malls for so many years, and also visited a lot of luxury stores. It's not for nothing, although I can't afford it... ··
Su Ying had Su Rui's suggestions from time to time, which made her subsequent decoration and clothing design much smoother.

Holding the birthday invitation post, Su Rui said to Meng Mingzhou who was reading a book, "Cui's post, invite me to attend her old lady's [-]th birthday."

Meng Mingzhou glanced at it, and said casually, "Are you going?"

Su Rui threw the post aside casually, and said disdainfully, "Is our family related to his family? Why should I go? And who made the post, so I must go?"

Meng Mingzhou's lips curled up, "Well, if you don't want to go, then don't go."

Early the next morning, just as Su Rui had finished her breakfast, the doorman came to report that Mrs. Feng had come to visit.

Mrs. Feng walked into the front hall of the Meng family with a smile, "Mrs. Meng, long time no see."

Su Rui smiled and stood up to greet her, "It's been a long time."

Mrs. Feng sat down, took the tea brought to her by the girl, took a few sips of tea before continuing, "Now the spring breeze is just right outside, Mrs. Liu and others have posted for me, saying that I will go to Xishan to release paper kites in the future. I'm here to invite you to come with me."

Su Rui froze for a moment, Zhiyuan?Oh yes, kites, well, spring is the day for kites.

He replied with a smile, "Yes, but why don't you post me a post, and go there yourself?"

Madam Feng wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, and said with a smile, "Doesn't it be more important to invite you personally?"

Su Rui covered her mouth and smiled, "See what you said..."

Mrs. Feng looked around, and asked casually, "By the way, where are your sisters? Why aren't you here?"

Su Rui, "They should go to class again now."

Mrs. Feng was surprised, "Mrs. Meng, have you invited Mr.?"

Su Rui didn't think it was something shameful, so she replied, "Well, I invited you before I came to Zhoucheng. By the way, the gentleman we invited is the husband-in-law of Miss Feng and Miss Peng."

After a pause, he looked at Mrs. Feng strangely, "Why, don't you know?"

Mrs. Feng shook her head in confusion, "I don't know, Yuehua never said that..."

Su Rui froze for a moment, "Well, then you know now."

Mrs. Feng stayed for a while before she was about to leave, and before she left, she specifically asked, "By the way, Second Miss Su, Miss Su Third and Miss Su Fourth, do you want to go together? Yuehua and Miss Peng are also going, and there are other All the ladies of her family are going."

"Basically, the unmarried ladies in the state city all go back, and most of them are girls of the same age, and they can also play together."

When Su Rui heard the words, she didn't agree or refuse, but said, "I'll ask them tonight."

During dinner, Su Rui looked at the three younger sisters and told Mrs. Feng's invitation today, "Do you want to go?"

Su Ying shook her head and refused without thinking, "Eldest sister, I won't go. Sister-in-law Ye and I are studying how to sew gemstones on the dress to make it look more natural, luxurious and dignified. The results are about to be tested, and I don’t want to go out to play.”

Su Qiao thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go. After all, I haven't been out for a while. It just happens that it's spring now. I can go outside the city to see if there are any wild vegetables. If there are any, I can dig some and make some fresh ones." Eat."

"This winter, I've had enough of those vegetables."

Su Rui rolled her eyes when she heard this. She eats a lot of vegetables at home. After all, she often grows green leafy vegetables in the space, but many families outside only eat cabbage and radishes all winter...

Su Wan blinked and asked Meng Mingxu who was sitting opposite, "Brother Mingxu, are you going?"

Meng Mingxu put down the bowls and chopsticks, and said with a smile, "Brother Mingxu can't go, the day after tomorrow, the officials will learn all the time."

Su Wan praised with a small face of disappointment, "Ah, brother Mingxu is not going..."

Su Qiao patted her hand funny when she heard the words, "Isn't it enough to have the third sister and the eldest sister to accompany you?"

"And Peng Yin and Feng Yuehua also went."

"Didn't you play well with them?"

Su Wan nodded when she heard the words, "Okay, then I'll go with you."

Seeing Su Wan's helpless expression pretending to be an adult, the people who had dinner together in the hall laughed.

The next day, Su Ying came to the main courtyard with the newly improved tulle brocade, "Sister, take a look, how about changing it like this?"

Hearing this, Su Rui picked up the moonlight tulle brocade she brought, and found that the brocade was cleverly inlaid with many small sequins of various colors, which made people's eyes shine when they saw it.

"not bad, very good."

Su Ying showed a big smile when she heard the words, she wiped the sequins on the brocade with her hands and said, "I also think it's good, especially when these sequins are placed in the sun, they still shone with colorful light, which is very eye-catching."

Su Rui looked at the sequins and felt familiar, and asked, "What are these sequins made of?"

The corner of Su Ying's mouth curled up, "This is a sea shell. I specially asked Ge Laosi to help me polish it and cut it into shapes of different sizes."

Su Rui was dumbfounded, "Is this a shell?"

"I heard from the waiter in the gem shop that this is only found in the sea, and many ladies from the official family bought it as a decoration at home."

Su Ying thought that Su Rui didn't know what a shell was, so she helped explain it. After all, she had never seen a shell before, and it was the first time she saw it when she went to a gem shop a few days ago.

When she saw shells of various colors for the first time, she really fell in love with them at a glance.

Su Rui looked at Su Ying happily introducing all kinds of shellfish in the sea, how beautiful they are, how they are suitable for decorating clothes after polishing, etc... Wait... I am speechless...
Su Rui took a deep breath and asked with a smile, "How much did you buy?"

Su Ying put down the brocade and said with a smile, "It's so cheap, I bought it all, it's about 50 catties, and it only cost five taels of silver."

"...It's very cheap."

She really wanted to tell Su Ying that she had eaten a lot of these shellfish in modern times, and had encountered beautiful shells, but she had never kept them, let alone spent money on them. let her throw away...

Su Ying nodded, "The shells are cheap, but the light feather sand is not cheap. One piece costs dozens of taels, and some even hundreds of taels. But to make such a brocade silk, without handwork and shells, it takes ten taels." It's the cost of two."

Su Rui said casually, "Well, it will cost at least 40 taels."

"Is that too much?"

Su Ying was frightened. She felt that including all the labor costs, it would not exceed 20 taels, so selling it for 25 taels would be the best.
