splendid heap

Chapter 177 Prepare in advance
Thinking of the embarrassment she might encounter when she went to the banquet, Huihui didn't think the old lady would want her to be ashamed outside, and she probably would give herself some expensive but gaudy things to make her look less like the lady of the Duke's Mansion. Taste, even if I go to the banquet to show my face, what will be left to others is a tacky and sickly nouveau riche lady.

Thinking about it this way, Huihui couldn't calm down anymore. It's okay to keep a low profile, but it's not okay to be seen as a joke, so the old lady's conspiracy can't be realized. Mama, whether we are going or not, we have to get ready. I guess the old lady will not buy me an outfit. After all, I am not on the travel list, so even if I change my mind and ask me to go, the old lady The madam also has something to say, but in order not to lose the face of the house, the old lady will definitely find me some tacky and inappropriate clothes, so that I can't lose the face of the house, only my own face."

When Nanny Li heard this, she couldn't help but jump up, the old lady was too cruel, her own lady was her own granddaughter, if she made her granddaughter lose face, her face became bright, and she said bitterly: "What a cruel person. If we lose face, she will be fine. Others will only say that she can't teach. Don't say that the young lady will lose face alone. Probably none of the young ladies in the mansion will be left behind. Now the old lady behaves like that. It's getting more extreme."

Huihui had already analyzed the reason why the old lady treated her like this, but these words can't be said to anyone now, except for the close ones who are hurt again, so what?After all, she didn't have any evidence to prove that the old lady was indifferent to her mother's negligence back then. Besides, even if it was proved that these things are capable, you must know that the old lady didn't say or do anything, but the people below figured out the meaning of the above. It's nothing more than a loss of service to her mother's former eldest lady, but the old lady also dared not see her face because of this dislike, so the disgust grew deeper and deeper every day.

Seeing Mammy Li's anger and resentment, Huihui, who knew what was going on, sighed, pulled Nanny's hand, patted her and said, "Don't be angry, Madam, the old lady is already in a daze. I'm afraid we will never think that she will change her mind about us siblings one day. Now we don't have to look up to her, we just need to protect each other well. When the time comes, my brother will be able to seal the crown prince and take over the Duke's mansion. At that time It's our day."

Over the years, Nanny Li has also seen through the old lady, and she was just out of anger when she said it today. Seeing that the young lady is not in a good mood, she was afraid that she was still thinking about this family relationship, so she hurriedly regretted that she should not mention this , then turned the subject and discussed with the lady: "Miss, since I have to prepare, I think I have to go out for a while. Although the clothes, materials, jewelry and headgear are available, it is a pity that they are all out of date. The people who will go in the future must be everyone. Miss Madam, they must all be well-dressed, if we wear out-of-date clothes and bring out old jewelry, it will be a joke."

Huihui naturally knew that attending such a gathering place of famous nobles must be well-dressed, otherwise it would be a joke, so she thought about it and said: "It is not necessary to buy fabrics from outside. I guess I will go out to buy fabrics at this time." There must be a lot of people with fresh fabrics, and it will be easy to contrast colors at that time. Secondly, we are poor. Where can we have extra money to buy these? Isn’t this suspicious? So I thought it’s better to choose from the fabrics left by my mother. It’s enough to make some materials that are not outdated and not too expensive. By the way, I have to cut some clothes for Lingqiao and Xiangtao Xiangsui who went out with me, otherwise they will also be laughed at. My master's face is also dull."

Hearing this, Mammy Li didn't want to spend more money to add to Xiangyu and the others. After all, the mansion distributes clothes every season. Of course, Mammy is not really reluctant, but she thinks it is unnecessary. For two days, everyone had no time to do it, but the young lady said it all, and she brought it with her. If she didn't add clothes to the girls, it would be embarrassing for her. Naturally, the old man couldn't refute it, so she smiled and said: "It's suitable." Come on, Xiangyu and the others will be very happy when they hear this, and they can make new clothes, but they can't be beautiful, but at most, they can go to two girls that day, and you probably can't bring three."

When Huihui heard this, she was a little embarrassed, after all, she thought that Xiangyu was going to marry in the future, and the chances of going out with her were not many, but if she brought Xiangyu without Xiangtao , I was also afraid that the latter would be unhappy, which would hinder the internal stability and unity in the future, so I frowned a little for a while, and looked up at Mammy, and asked: "Since Mammy said this, do you have any suggestions? Tell me Listen."

Nanny Li knew Miss's heart for Xiangyu, but she felt that it was enough for Miss to think about Xiangyu all the time, and she didn't need to give Xiangyu all the benefits, so she nodded and said: "Yes, Mammy has something to say, Miss is waiting for you." Xiangyu's heart is really a lesson to be learned from the sun and the moon, and I know that Miss feels sorry for her being imprisoned with you for many years, but has Miss ever thought that Xiangyu's temperament is not suitable for going out with you, or Xiangsui Be on the safe side, miss, have you forgotten what Xiangyu is doing seriously now?"

When Mammy Jing mentioned this, Huihui suddenly turned the corner, but just now, she was thinking about taking her out for a walk because she felt sorry for Xiangyu, and she was going to get married soon, why did she forget this in a blink of an eye, so she laughed Liao said: "Well, it's really not appropriate to take her out. She is busy embroidering dowry now. If she is allowed to go out to play, it will not be good if she delays her show work. She is already a bit late in embroidering. By the way, Mommy, can we not tell her like this, what if she suddenly becomes stubborn?" Huihui is not worried about taking someone out now, but is worried, if Xiangyu knows that they are going to marry her off, what will it be? reacted.

After all, Nanny Li is someone who has been there, and she knows what her daughter's family thinks, so she doesn't care about it and said: "Don't worry about it, I don't tell her this is to let her embroider the dowry with peace of mind. Xiangyu will also understand. Besides, she will support a family in the future. If she doesn't get married earlier at this time, and learn more about housekeeping while I can still take care of her, don't you still think about it? Relying on miss, this is not enough, besides, she is not young." The reason why Nanny Li thought of marrying Xiangyu earlier is also because she may have less time to go home in the future and let Xiangyu walk back and forth It's more convenient, and this is the young lady's proposal to marry Xiangyu later.

Yes!As far as I think of Xiangyu as a child, getting married in the fifteenth or sixteenth year of ancient times is nothing more than a natural thing. It is not good to be late. Old girls are as bad as modern leftover women. In ancient times, it was even worse than modern times. Huihui breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Xiangyu would understand, so she smiled and said: "That's right, Xiangyu is not young anymore, she is no better than Xiangsui and the others. They are real maidservants, and they have to wait until they are old to get married. Boy, um, so it’s settled, Lingqiao and Xiangsui will go with me in the future.”

After deciding on the candidates, it is easy to choose fabrics to make clothes, but you have to hurry up, there are only two days to make clothes for three people, and the time is still a bit tight, so Mother Li thought for a while and said: "Miss , the days are shorter, if we do it ourselves, will it be too late? Miss Guang’s clothes will probably take two days, I think it’s better to take the clothes of Lingqiao and Xiangsui and go directly to the shop outside to order, after all, the girls’ clothes Clothes that are not too restrictive, do you think it is feasible? Another thing is, what is the regulation of Miss's head jewelry?"

After Huihui heard this, she thought about it. Time is tight, so she really can't do it by herself, but she can't do it in shops outside. After all, most of the clothes worn by the maids in the house are made by the house. However, personal differences are nothing more than small changes in details. If you let others do it according to the style of the mansion, but you will notice it immediately, this is not good, and it will easily cause gossip.

After sorting out her thoughts, Huihui looked at Mammy and said, "It's better to say goodbye, this is easy to get marks, so their clothes don't need to be too gorgeous, as long as they are new and generous, Mammy, find some good materials for Miaoer to wear." I found Duo'er to help make it together, and it's probably done. I and Xiang Sui drove out my own clothes. As for jewelry, I'm not too busy. In the past, I picked up some jewelry and gave them to Xiang Sui and Xiang Sui. Lingqiao belt, I will use the headband my aunt gave me last time, that is the most fashionable one nowadays, besides, won’t wearing this belt make my aunt happy, don’t you think so, mammy?” After speaking, she turned to the mammy Blinking with a smirk.

As soon as Nanny Li heard Miss's words, she knew that she was playing tricks on Auntie again, but now Miss's health is much better, and many people know about Li's affairs in private. I wonder if Auntie has changed her mind again?Unknowingly worried: "Miss, is this okay? Maybe we didn't disgust others, but we were missed by others. If this is the case, it will be too late to cry."

Huihui smiled, waved her hand and said: "No problem, my aunt may have other plans now, haven't you noticed, since she left, she hasn't expressed the slightest sign, don't say she doesn't know that I'm almost in good health , we have her eyeliner in our house, and besides, even if she still has thoughts, it is useless. My marriage is not decided by the old lady alone now, even before, it was not the old lady who decided. Dad has never expressed his opinion, and now I have a princess aunt, and they dare not sell me casually."

Mother Li was right when she heard this, she nodded and said: "Well, that's the reason, but it's okay, fortunately, now that Lingqiao is following me, I can rest assured, well, the matter is settled like this, the time I'm also in a hurry, I'll go out and arrange it right now, by the way, I have to let Xiangyu stop for a while, and help drive out the young lady's clothes first."

After Huihui heard this, she was noncommittal. She knew that if she said she didn't want Xiangyu to stop, she probably wouldn't agree. Besides, if Xiangyu knew that she hadn't been called to this matter, she would definitely have trouble. Instead of doing this, It's better to follow Mammy's arrangement, then nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, just follow Mammy's wishes."
