Rebirth of the Main Room Manual

Chapter 75
When she was about to respond to Fang Baochan and Wang Wenhui, Zheng Lanti asked from the side: "What did my mother tell you just now?"

Yiqing turned to look at Zheng Lanti, this noble girl in the capital, an arrogant woman, she didn't bother to call her brother's wife a sister-in-law when she returned to her mother's house, she didn't even have the minimum respect!In her mind, how much did she look down on her thin brother?
Maybe it's because she thinks too much, she just looks down on the background of her brother's wife!

Yiqing took a breath, and told herself that she didn't have to take it seriously, she was only in this position for the time being, why bother to share the same knowledge as them and ask for trouble!
You Shi smiled and said: "My wife asked me to prepare some things for my aunt as a return gift... She said that summer is coming soon, and I have two bolts of material for my aunt to sew summer clothes!"

Zheng Lanti's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly: "But Wuzhou Liao Ling has arrived? I knew that the clothes materials and other items that our Hou Mansion spares in summer always come very quickly! When other girls get this kind of materials, I I have changed my summer clothes several times! And our colors and styles are almost the same as those used by the concubines in the palace!"

Said that she came over and pulled Yiqing up, and said with a smile: "Come on, I'll go with you! I'll choose what color and style I want!"

Yiqing hesitated for a moment, and let her drag her away.

Seeing this, Fang Baochan reached out and pinched Wang Wenhui's arm. Wang Wenhui's lips moved, and she reluctantly moved forward two steps, thinking why should I always mention it, and then cousin Baochan followed suit?But seeing that Zheng Lanti was pulling Yiqing to go out, she hesitated for fear of being late, so she hurriedly shouted: "Sister Lanti, I'm going too! Let me go and see with you!"

Zheng Lanti paused, turned around and agreed: "Okay, don't take a nap at all, call my aunt and sister Baochan, and go together!"

Yiqing said softly: "The madam said that the Marquis of this batch of Ling Ling was going to pick out some of them as presents first. Since my aunt came back, I first picked two horses for my aunt, and the rest need to be sealed up for now. If the cousins ​​go together , I also fell in love with the pattern and signed it first, but then it was taken as a gift, how can it be good?!"

Zheng Lanti thought for a while, and said with a smile: "It's okay, just teach her to take a look. The cousins ​​grew up in the Hou's mansion. They were raised delicately and well-informed. No one is such a small-minded person!"

Yiqing rolled her eyes in her heart: I'm cooperating, why should I be that petty and shallow-sighted?
Fang Baochan and Wang Wenhui came up, followed by Fang Zhengshi, Yiqing saw the three cousins ​​supporting each other, talking and laughing, and suddenly felt a little dizzy, probably because she slept late last night, and now she is older It's noon, but I can't take a nap.

But she also knew in her heart: she might have done something wrong: just let Zheng Lanti follow her into the warehouse, and Zheng Lanti will also drag Zheng Fangshi, Fang Baochan, and Wang Wenhui. Now this situation, can she stop it?dare?

In the huge warehouse, all kinds of items are neatly placed on the shelves by category, which are commonly used, and are convenient to store and use on the shelves. There are also many large boxes and cabinets that are locked, and the goods that have just arrived The wooden strips outside were not removed, and they were placed on the ground before they could be classified. Yiqing walked behind Mama Wang, the manager in charge of the warehouse, but Fang Zheng took Zheng Lanti and her two cousins ​​to the depths of the shelf, and also I don't know what happy things were mentioned, the laughter of the women was extremely happy and comfortable.

Yiqing waited patiently for them to laugh and play enough, and they came slowly, and then Mama Wang led them up the wooden ladder to the attic built in the air, which exudes the scent of precious wood. It is built of yellow pear wood and is specially used to store delicate and soft items such as cloth. Except for carrying items, idlers are usually not allowed to come up, fearing that too many people will spoil the items. It also means that the warehouse is important and does not want outsiders to see too much.

But now Yiqing doesn't say a word, and Fang Zheng, Zheng Lanti, Fang Baochan, and Wang Wenhui go up to the attic together, even Wang's mother can't help but sneak a second look at Yiqing.

It's not that these four people have never been to this attic before, but they all have to follow the rules. In addition to the mother in charge who leads the way, at most two or three people can go up at a time. Today, isn't there... how many more?

How could Yiqing fail to see Mama Wang's hint, but is it useful to stop it?The sisters are very affectionate, and Zheng Lanti is the aunt who returned to her mother's house, and she is bossy and bossy. If she is too targeted with her, there will be resentment. Whatever it is, just leave as soon as possible.

The young lady didn't speak, and mother Wang didn't dare to talk too much?I walked to a tall dark red cabinet, gently pushed the door open, and then pulled up the velvet curtains inside, they suddenly felt fascinated by lights, flashing lights, and flowers of various colors. The various, gorgeous and charming damasks appear neatly in front of you.

The three women standing in front exclaimed, and Zheng Lanti hugged them with open arms: "I want them all! I want them all!"

Fang Baochan and Wang Wenhui also smiled happily, and stretched out their hands to touch the material as thin as a cicada and as smooth as water. They couldn't put it down. Fang Baochan turned to look at Zheng Fangshi with pleading eyes, but Zheng Fangshi pouted and pointed at Zheng Lanti. Fang Baochan had no choice but to approach Zheng Lanti affectionately, talking and laughing to help Zheng Lanti choose the suit, while whispering in her ear.

Yiqing lowered her eyes, pretending she couldn't see anything.

Wang Wenhui was more realistic, and sighed: "In previous years, I could also have a dress made of damask silk. I don't know who to share it with this year? I like this pink one, like a cherry blossom in the first bloom. It's so beautiful! Lanti Sister, I will pick this one!"

Mama Wang took two steps forward, and said in a low voice, "Grandma and Cousin, just watch slowly, but don't touch it, this silk is precious, and it's hard to keep it, if it's stained with grease..."

Zheng Lanti was grabbing a horse with one hand and trying to make up her mind, she raised her eyebrows and scolded: "Damn woman, just guard your door, what are you talking about? I've ruined my aunt's interest, and I'll tell you to get out tomorrow." !"

This mother Wang is not an ordinary servant, she is Mrs. Zheng's dowry girl, assigned to the long follower of the old Hou Ye, that long follower is loyal to the old Hou Ye, after the old Hou Ye died, he refused to stay in the mansion, preferring to go outside the city Zhuangshang went to guard the cemetery of the Zheng family ancestors and accompany the old Hou Ye. Mother Wang had no choice but to raise a pair of children in the mansion alone. Mrs. Zheng valued her more. She has been in charge of the big warehouse for many years. She has a heavy responsibility, but it is very Decent, on weekdays, who would disrespect her?Even Lord Hou, Young Madam, and Auntie didn't dare to trust her in front of her. At this moment, they were scolded by Zheng Lanti for no reason, and their face flushed immediately, their lips trembled and they couldn't speak.

Yiqing saw these things in her eyes, and stood quietly by the side without making a sound.

Fang Zheng looked at Yiqing in surprise, and seeing her turn her face away, she had no choice but to step forward to persuade her: "Hey! What did you say? Don't take it to heart, Mama Wang. My aunt was happy for a while. Seeing this There are so many good fabrics, I'm so overjoyed, I'm afraid I even remember who I am! Lan'er, don't take a look, this is Wang's mother in front of your mother...the one who hugged you when I was a child! "

Zheng Lanti paused for a moment, turned her head to look at Mama Wang, smiled as if she had just recognized her, and said, "Oh, so it's Mama Wang? I thought who it was! I'm sorry, Mama Wang, You know that I have liked these good things since I was a child, and I am so happy when I see them... Don't be offended, I will make it up to you here!"

She said she wanted to salute with blessings, how could Mama Wang agree?He kept saying that he dared not dare, and hurriedly dodged aside. Seeing this, Fang Zheng smiled and pulled Mama Wang to go downstairs. Mama Wang hurriedly turned her head to look at Yiqing. Seeing Yiqing nodded slightly, she was relieved to leave open.

Without Mama Wang by her side, Zheng Lanti and her two cousins ​​were even more joyful, but Yiqing had no time to accompany them, so she coughed and said, "Grandma is optimistic, have you chosen? We should go, we can't go to the attic. After waiting for a long time, the smell of sweat stains and other stains has contaminated these cloths. Mama Wang was right just now. If the oil on your hands is stained with these silks, if you don’t wash them in time, they will become moldy and broken! There are many silks and satins and other items upstairs. But don't follow suit!"

The three cousins ​​exchanged glances with each other, Zheng Lanti eased the expression on her face, turned around and asked Yiqing: "Every year, more or less, sooner or later, there will be Ling Ling distributed to the masters to make clothes for them to wear. , why don't you pick them for your own use? Just pick two for me?"

At this time, Yiqing had already stamped Zheng Lanti's whole body with the "extreme second-class product" appraisal seal in her heart, she was too lazy to talk to her, and pretended to be gentle and said: "I don't know how to answer my aunt's words, so I'd better save it and ask my wife Let’s go! I was just ordered to pick out two pieces of material for my aunt, and now my aunt has to pick them herself, which saves me trouble, because these materials are so good and beautiful, I think everything is suitable for my aunt! But it’s a pity, my wife explained You can only give two horses, and the rest will be useful to Lord Hou! Wait for Lord Hou to pick out the share of gifts for others, and the old lady, wife and I can choose the rest!"

Zheng Lanti's pair of not-so-beautiful single phoenix eyes looked at the expression on Yiqing's face, but finally didn't say that she wanted two more horses, but pointed at Fang Baochan and Wang Wenhui and said, "Cousin Baochan and Cousin Wenhui, every year Since they can all share this kind of clothing material, why not give them their share, wouldn't it be easier?"

"I can't decide on this, I'd better ask the adults before talking about it!"

After Yiqing finished speaking, she took the lead out of the attic and went down the stairs.

Zheng Lanti, Fang Baochan, and Wang Wenhui muttered a few words upstairs, and followed them down. They were able to control themselves, and only took the two silks that Zheng Lanti had no choice but to pick out.

Mother Wang came over with a bitter expression on her face, watching Yiqing hesitate to speak, Yiqing didn't ask her much, just told her to tidy up the attic, and walked out of the warehouse with Zheng Lanti and others.

Mama Liang, another manager who worked with Mama Wang to manage the warehouse, was waiting in front of the door. There was a small portable four-legged square table next to her with account books and pens and ink. Please have a look at Yiqing's outbound account book.

The servants and maids waiting outside the door left a lot, and Fang Zhengshi also disappeared. Just now she dragged Mama Wang down to the attic, and she was here to remove the goods.

Mrs. Zheng asked Yiqing to prepare gifts for Zheng Lanti and take them back to her in-law's house. As a result, Yiqing relaxed and went to Zheng Lanti and Fang Zheng's place, and took it for herself.
