Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 172 Ding San
There are sixteen sets of dresses and dresses for Ning Wan's dowry, four sets for each season, as well as inner garments, cotton coats, jackets, shoes and socks, and so on. After all, it is not a lot. Mother, eldest aunt, and eldest sister have already distributed some help To do it, everyone often spends an hour or two at Ning's house doing stitches together at night before going back to sleep.Only Ning Wan made the wedding gown and hijab she wore on her wedding day by herself. The dress was almost done, but the tassels on the sides of the hijab were sewed. So one by one carefully looked up.

Sister Xi really has a lot of flower shapes, even some that are specially used on the hijab. Ning Wan can't decide for a long time. Well, the metaphor is also good. Seeing that she was undecided, Sister Xi sent a pattern to her, "You choose this one, rich and long life, it is my new look."

The wealth and longevity are originally peony flowers and butterflies. The blooming of peony means wealth and honor, and the pronunciation of butterfly is the same as that of ji, which means longevity. It is a real good sign, and Ning Wan also likes this pattern. I thought about using various silk money to embroider four blooming peonies on the four corners of the hijab, and then use gold and silver money to embroider a few dancing butterflies in the middle. It will be very beautiful to cover the head! "Okay, here it is!"

"I also like peonies and butterflies the most, but it's very difficult to embroider, especially butterflies, which must be made with gold and silver coins, so it's even more difficult," Sister Xi said while watching Ning Wan draw patterns on the hijab : "How about I help you embroider."

Sister Xi knew that Ning Wan could embroider, but it was just that. She didn't have the opportunity to learn those complicated stitches, and she didn't have much time to practice embroidery. As long as she was not as good as herself, she would not avoid suspicion and asked for help.

In fact, Ning Wan learned embroidery from her mother since she was a child. Although she didn't have much free time to embroider, she picked it up again after she married into the Zhao family. She also learned a few good stitches. It's inferior, but she has to take care of business on weekdays, and she rarely has time to embroider, so everyone doesn't know it. Now she said with a smile: "I must embroider by myself!"

Sister Xi just saw that she didn't need her own help to draw the pattern. If there was something she didn't understand, she smiled and said: "That's good, the wedding dress and hijab are all made by myself, it's the best omen!"

Ning Wan went to Zhao's house to draw patterns, had lunch, watched the heat outside subside, and went for a stroll in the garden with Sister Xi.

I used to live in Sanjia Village. As soon as I left the house, I saw fields and wilderness, full of crops, wild flowers and weeds. After a few more steps, I arrived in the mountains, where there are jagged rocks, tall trees, various vines, flowers and plants of various shapes, and countless Unclear birds and beasts, the scenery goes without saying, but at that time I was busy making a living all day, and I didn't have time to see the beautiful scenery.

Later, when I arrived in Mayi Town, as long as I walked a few more steps to the edge of the town, I was surrounded by countryside and green everywhere, and I didn't think it was too difficult.

Until I lived in Hutai County, I couldn’t easily go out of the city gate. What I saw were streets, shops, and pedestrians. There was a poplar tree in the vertical yard, and some flowers and plants were planted under the tree, but it was just a little embellishment. After entering Zhao's garden, I felt that the scenery I was used to seeing in my dream was really beautiful.

The trees were sparse, the flowers were blooming, there was a small pond, and several gazebos facing the water. Sister Xi took Ning Wan to play on the swing, "Sit on it first, and I'll help you swing."

Ning Wan smiled, and instead of sitting down, she stood up, holding on to the two ropes tied to the swing with both hands, slightly bent her legs, and the swing began to swing, she swung higher and higher, and the breeze swept her in front of her. The corners of her skirt blew up, and she seemed to be in high spirits. She has always liked this feeling the most. When she was in Zhao's house, she would feel relieved when she hit the swing every time she had something depressing.

Sister Xi had repeatedly told her to be careful before, but now she also saw her skillfulness, so she clapped her hands and shouted, "Wan'er, you're really good!"

Ning Wan laughed, now there is only the silly Zhao Guomao in the Zhao family besides Sister Xi and her, so there is no need to worry about anything, she scattered the silver bell-like voice in the air, exerted more strength on her feet, and swung Higher, raise your head and close your eyes to feel the sunshine, the breeze and the fragrance of flowers.

After a while, she had had enough fun, and just now she stopped the swing, but saw that the woman who just came beside Sister Xi was not the servant of the Zhao family she knew, but a strange and beautiful girl.

Sister Xi waved to her, "Wan'er, come here, this is the third girl of the Ding family. I just happened to come here. I was going to ask you to come down and say hello, but I saw you swinging so high. I'm afraid you accidentally fell, so I waited for you." Come down yourself."

It turns out that this is the third girl of the Ding family!In fact, Ning Wan had seen her when the City God was on a parade, and she stood in the front dressed as a fairy, but that day she wore high hair with a lot of gold and silver jewels on it, a lot of makeup on her face, and a Wearing Huadian and elegant silk on her body, she couldn't tell what she really looked like, so Ning Wan didn't recognize her for a while, but now she heard Miss Xi said that she just matched, so she smiled and said: "So it's Ding Third girl, I am blind, I have seen it before."

Miss Ding San didn't want to hear Ning Wan's very polite words, but she didn't smile, but stared straight at Ning Wan's face—more precisely, at Ning Wan's two earrings, and then asked: " Why do you have Dongzhu's earrings?"

Sister Xi had heard Dongzhu's name before, but didn't recognize it, so she didn't know that the earrings Ning Wan was wearing were Dongzhu, so she said "Oh!" "Wan'er, so your earrings are Dongzhu." Beads! Why do you have Dongzhu?"

Seeing that Sister Xi asked the same question as Miss Ding San, Ning Wan couldn't refute it. After all, Sister Xi was just curious, but it didn't seem like Ding San was asking questions, so she smiled and said: "Others For the beads, I made a pair of earrings."

Sister Xi has always been close to Ning Wan, so she came up to touch and look at it, "So Dongzhu is like this, it's really strange, it's actually golden, I thought it was gold before!"

In fact, the gold color of Dongzhu is very different from that of gold. Gold is bright and dazzling, but the luster of Dongzhu is warm and inner. The more you look closely, the more luxurious you will feel, but this luxury is far better than gold. Of course, the luster of Dongzhu The value is also many times higher than gold.Sister Xi has learned a lot after marrying into the Zhao family, and now she can see it, and she is amazed, and then asks: "Wan'er, who gave it to you? I also want a pair of earrings like this, I can Buy more silver!"

Miss Ding San was about to speak, but she didn't want Sister Xi to grab her head, so she snorted now, "Second Young Mistress, I don't know if she still wants to buy it! Dongzhu is one of our family's businesses. Therefore, knowing that this Dongzhu is a royal tribute item, ordinary people are not allowed to wear it at all! Miss Ning, you have violated the law, if you sue the government, you will still be charged with crimes!"

Sister Xi was taken aback, "It turns out Dongzhu doesn't allow us to wear it!" She said to Ning Wan, "Hurry up and take it off, lest anything happen to you?"

Ning Wan looked at Miss Ding San and smiled, "Since that's the case, Miss Ding San should take off her clothes, shoes and socks quickly! Don't be punished by the government!" Then she squinted at the little girl who was also wearing silk clothes behind Ding San , the meaning is very obvious, why do you control me if you can't do it yourself?

It turns out that at the beginning of the dynasty, Gaozu really formulated the law of obedience: gold embroidery, brocade, silk, and silk are not allowed to be used in clothes for men and women; boots are not allowed to be tailored or decorated with gold threads; Zhu Cui and so on.According to this law, Dongzhu is not something Ning Wan can use, but Miss Ding San's beautiful silk and silk shoes are embroidered with golden cloud patterns, shouldn't she be stripped off?

The Ding family was originally a merchant in Hutai County. I heard that the second girl Ding was sent to a prince's mansion somehow. Controlled most of it, really developed.The Ding family has also changed from being an inconspicuous merchant in the past to becoming arrogant. Ning Wan had met people from the Ding family when she was in the Zhao family before, and she also accompanied her mother-in-law, Mrs. In addition, the wives and grandmas of many big families in Hutai County suppressed the Ding family together, and never allowed a merchant to be superior to everyone in Hutai County.

It's just that she was already the second youngest wife of Zhao's family at that time, and most of the Ding's contacts were daughters-in-law, and she didn't have much impression of Miss Ding San. What is certain is that Ding San definitely did not marry Lu Tieshi, but married outside. It's not clear where it is.

Now Miss Ding San is relying on the half-bottle law she learned at some time to try to embarrass the young mistress who used to be in charge of the classic historian. Isn't this a joke?

Miss Ding San was blushed by Ning Wan's words, as if her clothes were about to be taken off, "You! You!" After a long while, she couldn't say a word.

Sister Xi could see that they were not dealing with each other, but she didn't understand where the edge lies, so she smiled and took their hands and said: "After all, they are all little girls, and they tell jokes when they meet. If you ask me, it's not a casual thing to wear whatever you want." According to everyone's wishes? Who can control it!"

Ning Wan didn't know what Miss Ding San thought after hearing what Sister Xi said, but she sighed for Sister Xi, even if she wasn't in charge of the Zhao family, as a daughter-in-law of a classical historian, she shouldn't say such ignorant words , so I am afraid that it will be remembered by those who are interested, and it will be used against the Zhao family at some point.

No one has obeyed the laws about clothing in Gaozu's time. Now as long as you have money, don't you just wear whatever you want as Sister Xi said?But Ning Wan rounded up her words, "If it is according to the laws of Gaozu's time, it is not us, but most of the people in Hutai County are dressed inappropriately, but the emperor's grace is so great that the current emperor has not issued a decree anymore. , the common people have all received the grace of heaven, I am so grateful!"

Miss Ding San was very dissatisfied with Ning Wan's betrothal to Deputy Lu Qianhu. She originally wanted to come over to give Ning Wan a bad impression. The Second Young Mistress of the family is usually easy to deal with, she doesn't want to be pushed back as soon as she speaks, but now she can only nod her head in agreement, her face flushed even more red, as if she was about to drip blood, "Miss Ning is right."
