Ruanjiaobao was forced to marry by Lord Hou again

Chapter 73 New Clothes

Greetings at Maoshi, there is a Buddha brass incense burner standing in the middle of the room, and there are clouds and mist in the burner. Mrs. Shen is sitting on the arhat chair, with a golden red pattern on her forehead to wipe her forehead, and a pillow of auspicious and wishful double flowers behind her A bowl of steaming wolfberry and white fungus soup was placed on the small tea table.

Ye Lingwu and Shen Yue'er greeted Mrs. Shen as soon as they entered the door, and Mrs. Shen happily offered her a seat, and asked Madam Xuan to bring two bowls of wolfberry and white fungus soup.

At this time, Shen Pan'er was long overdue.

Old lady Shen didn't immediately blame her, she glanced at Ye Lingwu, looked at her black eyes, frowned and said: "Ling girl, you didn't sleep well last night? Why are you so pale?"

Ye Lingwu's complexion changed slightly, and she hurriedly touched her eyes with one hand, and said with a smile: "Go back to the old lady, maybe it's because I'm too tired these days, and because I drove for half a day yesterday, my complexion is not very good."

"It's hard for you, child. You took care of the old Shen's house very well. Last night, Madam Xuan praised you for your orderly settlement in front of me." Old lady Shen looked at Shen Yue'er again, "Yue girl can also be skilled You two sisters are much more sensible after the month of committing crimes."

Shen Yue'er said: "As long as I can share some burdens for my grandmother, my granddaughter will feel at ease. Yesterday I saw my grandmother came back with a bad complexion. This morning I specially stewed a cup of bird's nest with red dates. It is warm, sweet and soft, and the most nourishing complexion. That's right, when it's ready, the granddaughter will bring it to you."

Old Mrs. Shen smiled and said, "I have a heart."

Looking at this happy picture of grandparents and grandchildren, Shen Pan'er's teeth started to itch, and said, "Grandmother never praised me, and my granddaughter has become more sensible since she came here."

"You?" Mrs. Shen shifted her gaze to Shen Pan'er's face, "Since you came to Zuyue, you have become more and more dishonest. If I ask you to do something, you will be tired of procrastination. After returning to Beijing this time It's time for your mother to choose someone for you, you say you don't have a good figure all day long, how can you be a decent lady of someone else's family."

Shen Pan'er lowered her head and played with the purse with embroidered crane patterns hanging on her waist, neither rebutting nor responding.

Old Mrs. Shen ignored Shen Pan'er, leaned her body on the pillow, and said slowly: "Please come here, I can read books by myself. By the way, the Wang family sent a few pieces of material yesterday , I see that the weather is getting hotter these days, you go to the cloth shop with Mother Xuan to watch and make some new clothes."

The three girls agreed to leave the room.

Life in Zayue is completely different from life in the capital, here Ye Lingwu always has the feeling that she is the granddaughter of Mrs. Shen, and she is really the girl in this house.

Although the mansion is small, it is warmer than the huge Ningbeihou Mansion.

Even after Madam Xuan came to Suyue, her spirits were exceptionally good. In the past, except for serving the old lady in Jinghetang, she hardly took care of big and small things, but when she came to Suyue, she led the three girls to do things neatly.

The table in the side hall was covered with cloth wrapped according to color. Ye Lingwu touched it and found that it was all of the best material.

There are satin, chiffon, twill, purple, cyan, red, and pink, and there are many cloths suitable for the elderly.

Shen Pan'er looked at Huanxi and said: "These materials are really good, especially these few bolts of satin, which are hard to get even in the capital. This Wang family is still really generous!"

In fact, Ningbeihou’s Mansion is famous all over the world. In the eyes of outsiders, or in the heart of Ye Lingwu who has not yet entered Beijing, the aristocratic family feasts like water, and spends like rain. Every meal costs tens of thousands of dollars. The gold and silver jewelry must be piled up in mountains.

But it is not, extravagance is not a rare thing among princes and nobles, but the glory of Ningbeihou Mansion is the result of fighting in blood and fire. Shen Taihou and Shen Laohou are both great heroes who have won righteousness, and they are called martyrs. Now, Lord Shen, the current pillar of Ningbeihou Mansion, is either running around in the military camp or in the court.

No matter it is Mrs. Shen, Princess Jiayi, or the couple of the second bedroom, they are all kind-hearted people, extravagant but not wasteful, and teach their children never to be proud of "extravagance".

Therefore, Shen Pan'er's eyes light up.

Ye Lingwu looked at the purple silk gauze in her hand, thinking about the cups and bowls used in the housewarming banquet of the Wang family, and the furnishings in the house, not only felt that the Wang family was invisible, but she did not expect that the house was so ugly. than merchants.

After picking out the cloth, Madam Xuan summoned two servants to move it to the Shen family's carriage, and after the order was correct, she took the three girls to the cloth village in the city.

The cloth shop in the moon is not as good as the Huarong Pavilion in the capital. The style of the Huarong Pavilion is fashionable and the tailoring is excellent.

The girl from Ningbei Hou's Mansion in the capital came to visit, and the cloth village steward was naturally very respectful. He opened the four front doors and brought four cloth village envoys to wait on him.

Not to mention Shen Pan'er, even Shen Yue'er didn't take a second look at the clothes hanging out in the shop.

The steward is a person who can read words and demeanor, seeing the appearance of a few people, he knows that they don't like the appearance here, so he hurriedly led a few people to the inner courtyard.

The yard is large, full of water tanks filled with various kinds of cloth dyeing water, and there are rows of wooden and bamboo poles on which long cloth is hung to dry.

Ye Lingwu looked curiously at it, glanced left and right, and seeing those cloth girls busy with their hands, she became interested too, and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Entering the embroidery room in the backyard, more than a dozen embroiderers concentrated on embroidering the patterns on the pure cloth. The manager's mouth has not stopped since entering the courtyard, boasting about his own embroiderers.

After the steward finished bragging, he called the consul from Xiuniangli.

Mother Xuan negotiated with her, and specially told her that the clothes should be correct and not flattering. The consul said yes several times, and Mother Xuan was relieved.

The steward saw off the guests again, and returned to the shop. Nanny Xuan followed the steward to pay the money, while the three girls were waiting in the shop.

At this moment, unexpectedly, there was a sound of yelling and reining outside, and with the sound of wheels rolling, a carriage covered with brocade red satin and driven by two red horses stopped in front of the cloth village gate.

The ostentation was comparable to that of the nobles in the capital, and Ye Ling was in a daze. She saw two female envoys in plain clothes jump out of the car and stand on both sides, and the one who came down slowly was Sun Xinran, the little girl of the Sun family.

"This daughter of the grandson's family is really magnificent." Shen Pan'er lowered her eyes, staring contemptuously at Sun Xinran who was walking towards her.

Before Sun Xinran stepped into the door of the shop, one of the maids ran in first and shouted, "Boss Gong, are the clothes our girl wants ready?"

The shopkeeper stepped forward and said: "It's ready, it's ready. I just told Xiao Luo that I would deliver it to Miss Sun's house in person. I didn't expect Miss Sun to come and pick it up in person. Miss Sun said that day that the clothes are For the engagement banquet, our embroiderer made this dress more delicately than Xunri, so it took a little longer, please forgive me, Miss Sun."

While chatting over there, Madam Xuan paid the money and saw the three girls staring at the door, only then did she know that it was the girls from the Sun family who made such a big commotion just now.

Sun Xinran also noticed the other people in the shop. Seeing that they belonged to Ningbei Hou's mansion, she forced a smile on her sullen face: "Miss Shen San and Miss Shen Si also came to the cloth shop to make new clothes, so please forgive me for my blindness." , I couldn’t immediately recognize the girl and nanny from the Hou Mansion, please forgive me.”

Although she was asking for forgiveness, Sun Xinran didn't show any courtesy. Ye Lingwu had seen so many monsters and monsters in the capital, and this one in front of her was the first one who said things differently and acted the most false.

Fortunately, they were not familiar with them, so after a few perfunctory words, they went back to the old Shen's house with Mother Xuan.

As soon as they arrived outside the mansion, several young maids greeted them with laughter, and dragged Ye Lingwu to the back door, Shen Pan'er also joined in the fun.

Turning the corner, I saw a maroon horse suddenly parked in the backyard—the horse's coat color is shiny and smooth, and it looks like a rare BMW horse.

"What a beautiful horse!" Shen Pan'er said happily, "Who gave it to Sister Lingwu?"

A female envoy replied with a smile: "It was sent by Master Zhizhou."

Hearing this, Ye Lingwu suddenly remembered that when Sun Kunqian said that he would give her a horse when he went to Jiaoju Town that day, he thought that Sun Kunqian would not be able to remember that day after he hurried back to the moon. The horse was delivered the next day.

Ye Lingwu looked at the horse arrogantly kicking its front legs, her eyes flickered slightly, and she was about to step forward to take a good look, but she heard a surprise cry from behind: "Second Young Master Shen!"

Ye Lingwu looked back, and saw Shen Ci standing against the wall, sizing up the horse in the backyard lightly, only took one look, and Ye Lingwu hurriedly looked away.

"Second brother!" Shen Pan'er ran forward cheerfully, "Second brother, look at that horse. It's really beautiful. It was given to sister Lingwu by Master Sun! You can tell that it was specially selected. I looked at it. I really like it, what do you think of the second brother?"

——Shen Pan'er stared at Shen Ci eagerly with her neck straightened, her eyes sparkling with starlight.This is not really a compliment to how "good-looking" this horse is, but it's just pointing to Shen Zhan that she also wants one.

Shen Ci frowned slightly, and said, "Like it?"

Shen Pan'er nodded again and again: "I like it, I like it."

"Since the third sister likes it..." Shen Ci smirked, "It's better to embroider horses on the purse, anyway, you like it too, maybe you can embroider thousands of horses on this little purse."

"..." Shen Pan'er petrified.
