The wife of a woman collecting herbs cannot be bullied

Chapter 207

These trivial things are naturally not for the master to worry about, but Shi Chuying took this opportunity to set the ranks and errands for the girls around her:

Yushu, Yudang, Yuyu, Yulu, and Yuzhu are assigned as second-class, one thousand dollars a month, and they are only served in the main room;
Others are third class, [-] yuan per month, of which Yucong, Yuhe, and Yuping are in charge of the furniture and items in 'Wangyunzhai', 'Back Warehouse' and the main courtyard respectively;

As the West Flower Hall is a place to entertain guests, it needs a lot of manpower, so Yumai and Yuhua are still in charge;

Yuzhi was still taking care of 'Chaochexuan', while Yurong was transferred to 'Huoranju', which was the former 'Zhengyangzhai', because Chu Xu said it had the same name as the alley in the old house, and later remembered that there was a saying: "life and death When you look at it, you can forget everything, and you can see it suddenly, like the morning sun and the first dawn, so it is called Chaoche." It was renamed "Huaranju".

Qinghao and Qingai are also in the third class. Qingpi continues to stay in the front yard to study with the accountant, while Qingai is transferred back to take charge of Shi Chuying's cash box accounts and keys everywhere; Wait.

Afterwards, the general sweeping, commuting, running errands, passing messages and other tasks were also done by the little girls.

With enough manpower, Shi Chuying felt relieved and left the matter to the stewards, while she devoted herself to making clothes.This time, even Aunt Yue and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and because the subordinates had all set ranks and clarified their errands, it was extra labor-saving for Aunt Yue and the stewards to assign work.

The cloak is relatively easy to sew, and the pattern is embroidered only on the outline. Although the pattern is complicated, it can be embroidered quickly.

Chu Xu's cloak, the pattern of silver leaf fern is embroidered on the bottom edge of the cloak.From bottom to top, the most complicated ones are the dark green and silver-gray silver leaf fern leaves at the bottom, the most complicated ones are the dark green and silver-gray leaves and tendrils mixed with silver-white leaves and tendrils, and the top is delicate and soft silver-white Light green curly leaves and tendrils...

These patterns are intertwined and intertwined, complicated and exquisite. The three colors of green, silver and gray are divided into more than a dozen sub-categories of different shades. In addition, the reverse side of the fox fur cloud shoulder is also embroidered with silver and green intertwining patterns, making the whole A cloak creates an undeniably luxurious aesthetic.

And Er Fei's small cloak is embroidered with a circle of pine needles and pine cones on the bottom edge. The green and red pine cones have lifelike scales, hidden in threes and twos among the distinct light green or dark green pine needles. Lively and pretty.

Shi Chuying's own cloak is embroidered with flowers and leaves of Moyun Mountain's wild thorn rose, clusters of dense dark green branches and leaves, covering the flowers and buds that transition from rose red to pink purple, magenta, although Just embroidering the outline still looks delicate and beautiful.

When embroidering these patterns, Shi Chuying did not divide the thread into thin threads as usual, and embroidered them very delicately. On the contrary, she asked girls and embroiderers to twist the threads into three strands, and used larger embroidery needles. The resulting outline is much thicker, but it has a particularly dazzling beauty due to the complicated patterns.

And the maids in the main room didn't even see the madam drawing patterns on the material, they embroidered them directly, those who didn't know thought that the pattern had already been drawn on the material!

Actually, how could Shi Chuying need to describe it?She only needs to compare the pattern of the flower with her eyes to the material. Isn't the pattern of the flower as if printed on the fabric, with every trace distinct and lifelike? !
These three cloaks have been praised by everyone before they are finished, they are so gorgeous!
The new embroiderers held the corner of the cloak and couldn't help but look at it. In the past, they thought that only when the embroidery was full of flowers and flowers could they reflect enough luxury and exquisiteness, but as they saw these three pieces The dazzlingly beautiful cloaks with embroidered outlines made them even doubt themselves...

Chu Xu was also full of admiration for his new cloak. His hands were quicker than his eyes. As soon as he reached out, he took the cloak from the tall coat rack in the dome and put it on. Turning left and right, he looked as beautiful as a fool.

Shi Chuying put down the work she was doing and got up to watch.She didn't want to appreciate her craftsmanship, but the cloak was not yet finished, and she really waited for Chu Xu to come back and try again before putting it away.

"Walk around and see, where do you like the length? Surround it and try, is it wide enough?" Then he raised his hand to flatten the shoulders of the cloud, and directed Chu Xu to walk back and forth in the room a few times.

"That's just right! Ah, this is too dazzling!" Chu Xu exclaimed.

"Do you think it's too flowery?" Probably not, this style is still very expensive.

"No, no, I think this cloak is too eye-catching when worn out...you have to look after it!" Chu Xu lightly stroked the pattern on the cloak, and began to worry about the future of this cloak.

"Don't worry, whoever wants to play tricks on it, you can just say what I say: whoever dares to go along with it, I will let him grow long hair. Then he will save trouble in the future, and he won't have to wear any big wool clothes to comb his hair." It's winter!"

Puchi!The girls in the room couldn't help but burst out laughing.Even Chu Xu giggled and laughed for a long while.

Hmph, what's so funny, she can say it and do it.

For the time being, however, it would be prudent to finish off the cloak.Shi Chuying waved her hand, and the maids all retreated to the outside room, Chu Xu was stripped down to only his underwear and stood as a hanger. "Just three inches from the ground!" Chu Xu gestured to the length he wanted.

Shi Chuying asked Chu Xu to unfold the cloak again, um, it was very suitable, she looked up and down again, and suddenly thought that if there were some small beads falling between the patterns, like dewdrops on the leaves in the morning, wouldn't it be more charming?It's just that as soon as she proposed, Chu Xu quickly vetoed it, "Don't bother, it's already gorgeous enough, and if you put beads on it, your man will be knocked out by a purse or a sachet when he goes out..."

Shi Chuying gave him a blank look, she's thick-skinned!But after she thought about it for a while, she still asked people to rub the silver thread and silver-white silk thread, and embroidered some small shiny knots on the original pattern, which glistened and moistened under the light. Brilliance, is it not like the morning dew shining in the sun?
Chu Xu was leaning on the warm kang, resting his head on his elbows, watching his daughter-in-law with her fingers flying the needle, feeling the quiet and warm beauty, and even her eyebrows and eyes softened.

Because of this new idea of ​​dropping beads, the other two cloaks were also reworked by Shi Chuying, and it took half an hour of such busy work to be considered a great success.
