The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

"Miss, why did you run out? The Marquis and his wife have sent people all over the house to look for you!"

Xiaoyao ran out panting and happened to meet Sheng Yuan. He was shocked when he saw her strolling in from outside the house: "Miss, the Marquis and Madam have given you many instructions before, asking you to stay in the house." Stay and don’t go out!”

"Just take some time to relax." Sheng Yuan didn't mention Anyu, but just waved the folding fan to tell Xiaoyao not to pay attention.

Xiaoyao guessed that there might be something about Anyu, but he didn't mention it. He just followed Shengyuan, taking small steps, and reminded in a low voice: "The needlework bureau has sent the modified wedding dress. , madam, let you try it on to see if it fits. If there is any slight adjustment, our embroiderer can also help adjust it when we have time."

"Hmm." Sheng Yuan nodded and walked towards the main courtyard in cooperation.

……

"It's only because your sister is the queen that the needlework bureau is so patient. A wedding dress has been reworked five or six times. If it were someone else, just wait and see!" As soon as Mrs. Zheng saw her little daughter coming in, she immediately reminded her, "As long as It’s not against the regulations, even if the size is slightly different, don’t mess with it, our embroiderer will help adjust it.”

"Look at what you said, it seems like I'm too busy! If they hadn't adjusted the styles and patterns on their own initiative a few times before, I wouldn't have let them take it back and change it!" Sheng Yuan felt that she was easy-going, " Besides, my sister said before that as long as I am happy, it doesn’t matter if I change it dozens of times.”

"I'm so polite to you, but who would have thought that you, girl, would be a master who can't be tolerated!" Madam Zheng laughed angrily.

Sheng Yuan was busy opening the round red sandalwood box containing the wedding dress. She was not annoyed when she heard such teasing. She just said: "Sister, you are not polite to me. If she was annoying me, she would have called me to Yongxiang." The palace is in ruins!"

"..." Her words made Mrs. Zheng lose her temper. After being dumbfounded for a long time, she nodded and admitted, "That's right. You two sisters are being beaten by Zhou Yu, so there's no need for me to worry!"

"Mom, what do you think of me wearing it?!"

While Mrs. Zheng was sighing, she didn't pay attention and saw her little daughter put her wedding dress on her outer shirt and walked around: "..."

"Can't you be more elegant like a girl?" The veins on Zheng's forehead were trembling. If she hadn't remembered that this girl's daughter was about to get married, she would no longer want to hold back.

"Who said I'm not elegant?! I've always had a tiger in my heart and sniffed the roses, but I looked a little careless." Sheng Yuan was busy taking pictures in the mirror, not paying attention to Xiaoyao's blinking eyes that were about to twitch. Hehe looked at the altered wedding dress and nodded with satisfaction.

"Look, after thickening my shoulders, does it make me look taller?! Isn't it much better than the slip-shoulder style?! Before, they said that wedding dresses made people look weak. Liu Fufeng's attitude... bah!"

Shengyuan specifically checked the areas that she had previously requested to rework and modify. She was satisfied when she saw that she had not been fooled. She proudly showed off to her mother: "Look, my wedding dress has a simple style without being complicated. It feels cool to wear." It’s also breathable, isn’t it several times more beautiful than those gorgeous-looking wedding dresses outside?!”

"That's more than several times?! Come to think of it, it's a thousand times better than those wedding dresses! In your wedding dress, the outer blouse is made of ice silk yarn; the inner skirt is cut from Sichuan brocade After all, who in this world doesn’t know that every inch of gold is precious?!

Let’s not talk about the complicated process of the various auspicious patterns embroidered with gold thread or beads on the wedding dress, nor how precious the crystal jade embellishments on the wedding dress are to relieve you from summer heat. Just look at this wedding dress. The summer fragrant beads prepared by Taiyuan Hospital are hidden in several hidden pockets in the inner lining of the dress, which are beyond the reach of ordinary wedding dresses. "

Mrs. Zheng looked sideways at her little daughter, appearing friendly but actually teasing her.

"..." Sheng Yuan pouted, finding that she had nothing to say, so she simply showed off her aesthetic taste, "Look, do the patterns on the cloud shoulders look very tasteful?!" She It would be better not to mention this, but Zheng wanted to ridicule him even more when he mentioned it.

Previously, in order to please the sister whom the queen valued, the needlework bureau specially used the lotus leaf pattern of a hundred sons playing for blessing when designing the cloud shoulder.

Who would have thought that this girl would become picky when she saw him. He also said that the pattern was not subtle and elegant enough, and that a group of fat boys and girls with their hair hanging down on their chests and shoulders was really tiring, and I didn’t like it at all.

She had said so, and this wedding dress was for her to wear. Naturally, her sister followed her wishes and asked the needlework bureau to take it back and remake it.

I have to say that the needlework bureau really tried its best. Sheng Yuan said that the pattern was not subtle, so they changed the picture of a hundred sons playing into a pattern suitable for men and many children.

The name of the pattern for men with many children sounds informal, but in fact the pattern is quite elegant. After all, those who are suitable for men are another name for Hemerocallis, which is a pattern that expresses blessings through metaphor.

At the same time, in order to make the pattern more festive, the needlework bureau also added longan, pomegranate and grape patterns to it, which also meant auspiciousness.

The needlework bureau thought that this change would definitely win Shengyuan's favor. Who would have thought that after this girl saw it, she first confirmed the use of cloud patterns as a background, and then insisted on replacing the daylilies with vases, shengs and tridents. It means a three-level promotion.

Not only that, she also said that the patterns of longans, pomegranates and grapes were too common, so it would be better to replace them with grasshoppers and chrysanthemums. Not only would this look strange, but the grasshoppers and chrysanthemums would also be said to belong to the same official residence, which means that they are of the same rank as the official residence. , it’s a double win with one stone.

Tell me, everyone, where did this girl come from? !

Even though her sister had a good temper, she couldn't help but ridicule her after hearing such a request, saying why go to all that trouble and just embroider the cabinet office!

But teasing is teasing, the needlework bureau still has to take the wedding dress back and rework it in the end.

After this time, the ladies in the needlework bureau have learned wisely. Instead of rushing to modify it, they draw the pattern first and then give it to the girl to see. When she is satisfied, they will start work again.

It must be said that the people at the needlework bureau have good taste. Although they were asked to rework two or three times, they did not fully listen to this girl's opinions. Instead, they chose magnolia, begonia and peony flowers as the main patterns of the pattern. , and then they used the images of big lions and little lions as fillers to make the pattern more vivid.

The patterns designed by the needlework bureau this time are still very particular, such as the "Yutang" composed of magnolia and begonia flowers, which sounds the same as "Yutang".

Jade Hall is the elegant name of Hanlin Academy; Peony is the representative of wealth and honor.

The lion filling the pattern has the same name as the Taishi and Shaoshi in the Three Young Masters, and also means a prosperous official and a high official with a generous salary.

Finally, after this pattern was presented to Shengyuan, she immediately won her love and recognition.

"..." Thinking of this, Ms. Zheng wanted to hit her husband even more.

It's definitely not her fault that she gave birth to such a fan of officials, she must have followed Sheng Xiangxun!
