Dirty color

Chapter 66 Cress
The shopkeeper of Jinxiu Pavilion came to deliver clothes to Gu Mingxuan.

After the incident with the old clothes happened at that time, in order to help Mrs. He save it, Gu Minghe opened his mouth and said that Mrs. He had invited the shopkeeper of Jinxiu Pavilion to come and order new clothes for Gu Mingxuan. Although Mrs. He was unwilling in his heart, in the end He was also persuaded by Gu Minghe.

Gu Mingzhi was noisy and dissatisfied, so He simply ordered this year's summer clothes in advance. In the past, summer clothes were ordered at the beginning of April, but this year, they began to order at the beginning of March. In this way, everyone has a share, lest you have what I don't have, Feeling resentful.

Everyone else's clothes were tailored, only Gu Mingxuan was no longer in the mansion at that time, so her clothes were made to take care of Mingzhi's figure a little bit.

So at this moment, Gu Mingxuan was a little surprised when she heard the shopkeeper of Jinxiu Pavilion asking for an interview, but she still said, "Please come in." As for how to arrange the guards, I will talk about them later.

"I've seen Nanny Zhuang, I've seen Missy." The shopkeeper of Jinxiu Pavilion was about fifty years old. After she brought two women in their thirties into the room, she greeted Nanny Zhuang and Gu Mingxuan with a smile.

Nanny Zhuang glanced at her and said, "Shopkeeper Shi, long time no see, please take a seat."

When Sang Zhi served the tea, seeing that Gu Mingxuan didn't even look at her, she just smiled and looked at Shopkeeper Shi who was chatting with Nanny Zhuang, and then retreated tremblingly. She had already seen the fate of Chun Xue and Chun Cao, and Sang Zhi was special now. Afraid, afraid that Gu Mingxuan would leave her like that.

Shopkeeper Shi was talking to Nanny Zhuang while looking at Gu Mingxuan from the corner of her eye. She had never seen this legendary lady of the Hou Mansion, but she had seen the tailor in Jinxiu Pavilion. , After going back, he whispered in private, "Ugly and stupid".

And the rumors in the capital also proved this matter, but now, this eldest lady has a demure look, a generous manner, and a moderate advance and retreat. The original rumors were a thousand miles away.

Shopkeeper Shi murmured a little. He originally wanted to see Mrs. He. After all, Mrs. He used to be in charge of the Zhongfu of the Marquis of Shun'an. Unexpectedly, he was told that "Madam is sick and needs to rest", so he took her to see the old man People Cui Shi.

He was deprived of the power to head the house just because he was sick?This "sickness" was born... Shopkeeper Shi has been traveling in big families for a long time. He knows the secrets of these big families best. He doesn't believe that Mrs. He is really sick. Well, anyway, they are doing business, as long as the old lady gives the money, it doesn't matter who is in charge of the house.

After meeting Cui Shi, shopkeeper Shi originally planned to serve Cui Shi himself and let other tailors serve the lady and wife in the mansion, but Cui Shi smiled and said: "My eldest girl, I didn't have a measurement last time, I don't know this Is the size of the clothes suitable? This is the first time she will go out with me to meet guests during the Dragon Boat Festival this year, so she must be more careful, and she must also be careful about that custom-made dress. She will wear it when Mrs. Yang recognizes her relatives at the end of the month Yes, I don’t worry about other people going there, so I’ll trouble you, the shopkeeper, to go and see for yourself.”

Shopkeeper Shi was taken aback at that time. Under the instruction of Mrs. He, the clothes that Jinxiu Pavilion had made for this young lady were a bit... In short, they were not suitable, but now according to Mrs. Cui, this lady Miss, turned over?
Not only turned over, but also received great attention?
Mrs. Hou's wife, Mrs. He, is now sick?

To be honest, these two things happened at the same time, it is impossible not to think that Mrs. Hou Ye was actually "sick" by this "ugly and stupid" young lady.

Now seeing the young lady's reborn appearance, the shopkeeper Shi couldn't help but admire the young lady, as expected, none of these high-ranking female relatives is simple.

Therefore, shopkeeper Shi deliberately flattered Gu Mingxuan, but after all, shopkeeper Shi had been in and out of a wealthy family for a long time, although it was a deliberate flattery, it would not make people feel overly responsive.

Gu Mingxuan responded with a smile, and said something like "Shopkeeper Shi has flattered you".

Then there was the fitting of clothes, and when it was finally done, shopkeeper Shi wrote down how to modify it, and promised to send it back tomorrow so that it would not delay the Dragon Boat Festival when he went out to wear clothes, so he left. On the way back, shopkeeper Shi was in the carriage, I heard another news from another tailor. The former third lady and the current fourth lady also fell ill, and the clothes were sent directly to Juxiang Xiaozhu, but no one saw them.

Also treated in the same way is Baihe Hall, the yard of Mrs. He's Mrs. Hou.

Shopkeeper Shi was stunned, it turned out that the fourth lady lived in the cross courtyard of Baihetang—forget it, Momo thought about it.Shopkeeper Shi put on a straight face and said very seriously: "Speak less, speak carefully."

Seeing that shopkeeper Shi showed signs of anger, they calmed down.

The conversation between Nanny Zhuang and Gu Mingxuan came to an end because of shopkeeper Shi's interruption, and when shopkeeper Shi left, Nanny Zhuang said: "I will let Commander Tao handle this matter, he is the most reliable, don't worry, miss. "

"What Mammy said must be right." Gu Mingxuan knew Commander Tao, and later her Ninghaiwei was also built by Commander Tao. Commander Tao is indeed loyal, reliable and capable, so leave the matter to him, Gu Mingxuan Very relieved.

Nanny Zhuang nodded, and then said: "As usual, our family will participate in the Dragon Boat Festival. In previous years, Madam took the family to play. Take the lady out to play, the lady's jewelry, etc., you have to choose carefully."

Yes, you have to choose carefully. In fact, the clothes delivered by shopkeeper Shi today are silver and red for the Dragon Boat Festival, which is no longer suitable. After all, Mrs. He is "ill". You can't dress too conspicuously, or you will be unfilial.

However, this is her first official appearance in the elite circle of the capital. As long as she does well this time, those stupid and clumsy actions before will become evidence that He's mistreatment of her first wife and daughter, so on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, You have to show your best side.

Everyone in the world respects Luo Yi first and then others. Dressing is a very important part of her side, so you must be careful.

Not only does Gu Mingxuan have this heart in her heart, but Nanny Zhuang is also like this, and Mrs. Cui is also like this. When paying her respects the next morning, after Gu Mingxuan said, "Mrs. Cui didn't say anything, she was only concerned about her dress on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival.

Gu Mingxuan said with a smile: "Last time, the second and third sisters gave their granddaughters a lot of jewelry, and Nanny Zhuang was thinking about what to use to match her clothes - these granddaughters don't know much yet, so Nanny Zhuang choosing."

After hearing this, Mrs. Cui frowned. Mrs. Cui also saw the jewelry that Gu Mingling and Gu Minghe brought out that day. Although some of them were very good, they were still a little small. After thinking about it, Mrs. Cui said to Nanny Cui: "Go and bring out my jewelry box. I'm old and I can't use many fancy jewelry, but it's just right for you little girls."

Gu Mingling couldn't help being very excited. Grandmother Cui's side really has a lot of good treasures. Although Cui's usually gives a lot of things to the younger generation, they are all slightly better than their own. It's valuable, but it's worth it, and it's not particularly rare, but it's an official event like today, and there will definitely be good things to give away.

Gu Mingxuan and Gu Minghe also showed expectant smiles on their faces, and Gu Mingxuan took Cui's hand and said, "Grandmother rewarded her younger sisters a lot before, but granddaughter didn't catch up. This time, grandma needs to take extra care of her granddaughter." , give your granddaughter a few more, and make them envious."

Sun said jokingly: "Oh, that's not okay, mother, don't be partial to Xuan'er..." While joking, Gu Minghe looked at Gu Mingxuan who was acting like a spoiled child in Cui's arms, a haze flashed in his eyes, yes, Gu Mingxuan is disfigured now, If grandmother Cui wanted someone to marry into the royal family, then that person could never be Gu Mingxuan, but only her, Gu Minghe. However, seeing that Gu Mingxuan was getting more and more favored and loved by Cui, Gu Minghe still felt that It's hard to accept - obviously she is the best, isn't she?

Enduring it, Gu Minghe smiled gently, commenting on which one is more suitable for Gu Mingxuan, which is more suitable, gentle and to the point, Gu Mingxuan also smiled, after listening to Gu Minghe's recommendation, Gu Mingxuan hugged Cui Shi, and said: "Grandmother, you can listen to me." Come on, hurry up and give the granddaughter what the third sister said is suitable for the granddaughter."

"Greedy!" Cui Shi nodded her forehead. In the end, Gu Mingxuan got a whole set of face, plus some things suitable for the Dragon Boat Festival. They didn't get any.

After waiting for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Mrs. Sun and others got up and left, and Gu Mingxuan also left. On the way, Mrs. Sun kept talking and laughing, and Gu Mingling's mood was also very good - for Mrs. Sun , without the existence of the He family, she felt that the whole world was beautiful. For Gu Mingling, Gu Mingzhi was punished and might even lose her grandmother's favor. She felt that she was too excited to fall asleep.

So for Gu Mingxuan, the hero in this matter, both of them are very affectionate - after all, there is no conflict of interest with Gu Mingxuan, right? On the contrary, because of Mrs. He's illness, Mrs. Sun still has the official power, although it is only a little bit Things, however, are better than nothing.

When Gu Mingxuan returned to Tsinghua Garden, Nanny Zhuang was instructing Luzhu to go to Shuiqin's house and tell Shuiqin's mother that she had a nephew from far away, who was not yet married, was about the same age as Yushuiqin, and was also motivated. ...and so on.

In short, marrying in the past is a straight lady. Compared with Guan Mao's stupid son, there is a complete difference between heaven and earth.

Gu Mingxuan listened, her eyebrows curved into a smile, and she looked at Nanny Zhuang with a smile. When Lu Zhu went out as instructed, Gu Mingxuan asked Nanny Zhuang with a smile: "Have you found a suitable candidate?"

"Not yet. I plan to go out this afternoon to meet Commander Tao and ask Commander Tao to help you find it. It's actually not too much trouble. The main reason is that her father is too anxious about Shuiqin." Madam Zhuang said Shuiqin. When I was with my father, I didn't care much.

"Then Nanny must remember the person Xuan'er wants." Gu Mingxuan said, and Zhuang Nanny smiled: "I know, I know, if you forget anything, you will never forget your maid."

Gu Mingxuan smiled and rubbed herself in Nanny Zhuang's arms, looking forward to the arrival of the maid who knows martial arts.

At this moment, Lu Zhu walked towards the laundry room.

Shuiqin's father is in charge of the tea room, and Shuiqin's mother is in the laundry room in the inner courtyard. When she saw Luzhu, Shuiqin's mother was startled when she heard that she was from the side of the young lady. After relaying Nanny Zhuang's words, Niang Shuiqin stayed there for a long time, wept with joy, and wrote the green beads repeatedly, ignoring her errands, and found someone to look at it for her, and ran back to her home in a hurry.

Cress was lying at home with a gray face, like a fish out of water, like a flower that had lost its moisture, dry and hopeless, after listening to her mother's words, cress' eyes lit up, and she instantly became alive Quite a few asked eagerly, "Mother, is what you said true?"

Niang Shuiqin hurriedly nodded, and said: "Really, how can I lie to you about this matter, this is really great, Buddha bless Buddha..."

After the ecstasy, Shui Qin calmed down. After all, she was by He's side. She had seen big scenes, and she was clever. Soon, she figured out some things. If, if she agreed to this marriage, she would certainly It is possible to escape from the sea of ​​suffering for a while, but after that, her whole body falls under the control of Nanny Zhuang, and being controlled by Nanny Zhuang, isn't it the same as being controlled by the eldest lady?

When I was by Madam's side, I came up with a lot of ideas, and later, I even brought a bowl of soup with laxatives in front of the eldest lady - would the eldest miss let such a me go?

Cress really doesn't have that confidence.

Her complexion turned gray again, she looked at her mother blankly, and said awkwardly: "Mother... daughter, there is really no way out."

"How could it be?" Niang Shuiqin was still excited, she felt that there was hope for her whole body, but Shuiqin broke her hope, she asked: "Mother, do you think that Missy would be so kind?" ? Don’t forget how Madam harmed the eldest lady before, I am Madam’s personal maid."

Shuiqinniang's complexion also turned gray, and finally, she said shyly: "But, it's better than marrying a fool... The worst... The worst is that when you get married, you will leave the capital far away."

"It's useless..." Shuiqin smiled bitterly, and she said, "Mother, the best result is that the young lady wants to know something about the madam, and she will let me go after asking, but if I tell the matter, madam, you will Will you let me go?"

"Ma'am is not now..." Shui Qinniang was lucky.

"And Miss San..." Shuiqin interrupted her mother again, she said, "If I can fly away, what about my younger sister and younger brother?"

Shuiqin Niang was speechless, after a while, she couldn't help but said, "Shall we go beg the eldest miss?"
