Chapter 56 Newly Drawn Styles
On the way back, Yuzhu got into the carriage of the Duke's Mansion, Xie Che went back to the mansion first, she still had to go to the Duke's Mansion before the prince left, the little princess might be very sad, she had to go to accompany her.The little princess cried all the way, her eyes were swollen, and she asked Yuzhu worriedly, "Yuzhu, you said it's snowing, big brother, will they come back? Wait until spring to leave?"

Yuzhu picked up the rich and luxurious silk curtains, and there was light snow fluttering outside. She knew that the son and the Duke of the country would not come back.

When I returned to the Duke's Mansion, the servant girl brought hot water to wash the princess's face and put on balm. It was cold, and if I didn't take good care of it all the way back, my face would be cracked.The two washed up and sat on the couch with the stove in their arms. Yuzhu comforted her a lot, and said that she would come to accompany the princess the next day, and the little girl beamed.

In the following days, even if it snows heavily, Yuzhu will go to the Duke's Mansion to accompany the little princess every two or three days. She has family members in the Duke's Mansion to protect her. Her brothers, sisters, and elders are all good and dote on her. .She also loves the little princess more and more, her father doesn't love her mother, and the only remaining brother is still thousands of miles away, so that's all she can do.

Rao Yuzhu often went to the Duke's mansion, and the people in the mansion didn't dare to say a word. They knew that the prince and the little princess valued the Lord of Fuchang County, especially the servants in the palace of the princess, who respected Yuzhu very much. .Yuzhu often went to the mansion, and she could also hear about Miss Shen from the maids. Miss Shen's body was getting better, and her body was suffering from the cold, and it seemed that some diseases had fallen. Cold, after two years of recuperation, there will be no major problems.

Shen Mei also took Yuzhu to visit Miss Shen, the little girl was leaning on the couch with a pale face, she looked very pitiful.Ji's expression was a bit deserted, but she did not break the etiquette, and finally sent them out personally. When she was about to walk out of the Moon Gate, Yuzhu turned her head and saw Ji wearing a dark green and gold silk beige standing under the veranda, too far away, Unable to see the expression clearly, Yuzhu shuddered suddenly.

The days are passing by quickly, and the New Year is coming in a blink of an eye, and all the houses are busy buying new year's goods, sweeping, and offering sacrifices to ancestors.It has nothing to do with the little girls, Yuzhu still goes to accompany the little princess as usual, everyone in Yongyi's mansion knows the situation of the Duke's mansion, and if there is any delicious food on weekdays, the Mu family will ask Yuzhu to bring some to the little princess.

Reciprocate, the little princess also likes Yuzhu's family very much, she is a little envious of Yuzhu, even if there is no gap between the relatives in the other rooms, the whole family is harmonious.

In the past one and a half months, Shen Mei no longer felt sentimental, and when she was in good spirits, she clamored to go shopping with Yuzhu in the market.There was only a heavy snowfall half a month ago, and the sky has cleared up these few days, which is rare to be a good day. Besides, the market is full of people who buy new year's goods, so it must be very lively.

The two got into the carriage and went to the market. There was a lot of noise, all kinds of snacks and gadgets. Shen Mei got out of the carriage noisyly, surrounded by a group of maids and women. Everyone knew to avoid the little nobleman.Shen Mei stopped in front of a throwing circle.

Near the end of the new year, the bazaar is very lively, there are all kinds of vendors, and there are many interesting and fun things.This throwing circle is to use small circles to cover things on the ground. These things include various things, inkstones, pens and inks, paper fans, nine chains, some jade, makeup boxes, porcelain, and even more. A few pieces of silver.

Shen Mei pointed at these and said happily, "Yuzhu, Yuzhu, let's play with this."

The women persuaded again, "Princess, if you want to play, how about the servants go back to the house and make it for the little masters? There are so many people in the market, it is really inconvenient."

Shen Mei ignored them, pulled Yu Zhu to stand in front of the booth, and asked the old man, "How do you do this?"

The old merchant bowed his knees, "Little nobleman, this two-cent coin is a circle, and the things that can be bought belong to the little nobles."

Shen Mei didn't carry any money with her, she turned her head to look at the servants behind her, she couldn't help but with a smile, she took out dozens of big money to give to the vendor, and brought a stack of bamboo rings to the two of them.This thing is definitely not easy to trap, the bamboo ring is not too big, just enough to trap those little gadgets.

"This is fun." Shen Mei handed Yuzhu half of it, "Yuzhu, let's play together."

As a result, the little girl threw out all the circles in her hand and didn't catch any of them. Shen Mei looked at Yuzhu with a sad face, "Come on."

Of course Yuzhu knew that it was not easy to catch, she didn't care, she stood still, and planned to throw all the circles in her hands out, and it was over, she never thought of being the first to throw out, and she would catch a small white porcelain bowl, it's her! Shen Mei clapped her hands and cheered, "The jade beads are amazing, put those silver ingots on." The two silver ingots were considered a lottery, and because of this, many people came to trap them.

"Then I'll try." Yuzhu chuckled.

I don't want her to be surprised by her luck. The second circle threw it out and put it directly on a silver ingot. It was five taels of silver ingot, and the old merchant's distressed face twisted.

"Yuzhu, you are awesome, hurry up, there is one more ingot." Shen Mei's cheeks were flushed with excitement.

Yuzhu knew that it was not appropriate for these traders to make money to support their families, so she was really embarrassed to set another silver ingot, and scattered the remaining rings elsewhere. Surprisingly, none of the rings failed, and the servants of the Duke's Mansion Looking at her with a very respectful look, thinking of this person who has won the lottery of Master Guangji, it's no wonder that he can be so lucky even if he loses a circle.

The old merchant complained endlessly, it was actually the first time he encountered such a strange thing, so he could only take something and offer it to the two young gentlemen.

How could Shen Mei really want these things, they are used by ordinary people, they cannot enter the Duke's mansion at all, except for the ingot of silver, the rest will be returned to the old merchant.

After eating, drinking and having fun all the way, the two little girls were so happy, they didn't go back to the mansion until sunset.

I get busy during the Chinese New Year, and Yuzhu can no longer go to the Duke’s Mansion. By the time I’m free, it’s already fifteen, and Xiao Yuzhu is one year older, five years old, and her figure is stretched. Shi hired a tailor to measure the little girl's figure, and she had to prepare clothes for all seasons.

There is no tailor lady in the mansion, so here is a lady from a well-known tailor shop in Shangjing, with a sharp mouth, seeing Yuzhu salute first, she smiled again, "Oh, it's the first time I see such a good-looking little nobleman. , Look at these eyes, this small mouth, they look just like the little boy under the Guanyin seat. The little nobleman is carved with jade, and the clothes are very beautiful. There are some newly drawn styles here at the servant's house. The little nobleman personally Choice or Madam?"

Yuzhu probed to look, "Let me have a look." Her voice was crisp and crisp like a child's, which made the tailor lady more and more rare.

The tailor lady took out the picture album, and there were many new styles on it. Yuzhu picked out a few styles for the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. When she was growing up, all the clothes could only be worn for one season.After choosing, he said, "Just these few styles, please trouble the tailor."

The tailor lady smiled and said, "It's my blessing to be able to make clothes for such a nobleman. In the future, if a nobleman finds a slave to make clothes for a nobleman, it will be cheaper for a slave to make clothes for you."

Sending off the tailor lady, Mrs. Mu hugged the jade beads, and said, "Our family's beauty has grown a bit heavier, and it has grown back."

Hearing this, Yuzhu was worried. She was a five-year-old girl. The pearls she ate were round and smooth, and her white and tender arms were like lotus root joints. When she stretched out her hands and pressed them down, there was a small dimple, and her cheeks were also bulging. , but the whole family likes her like this.

During these days, the little aunt has been living in the mansion and never went out. As expected, those things came to the capital, and there were all kinds of talkers. It's just that it has been more than two months, and the number of gossips has gradually decreased.Yuzhu's shop is also in good repair, waiting for the first batch of jewelry to be finished before it can officially open.

In the early spring, Yuzhu’s jewelry store, Zhuyu Pavilion, opened for business. Inside the shop were several filigree-inlaid jewelry, a butterfly wing bead hairpin inlaid with rubies, a red gold plate with chi and luo rings, red gold pine and crane steps, red gold hollowed out carved red gold The makeup box, and the bracelets inlaid with begonia flowers on two pedicles are all made of filigree inlays.

Yuzhu gave the little princess a filigree engraved gold diamond bracelet inlaid with jadeite grains. Shen Mei was very happy when she saw it, and immediately put the bracelet on her wrist, which lined the little girl's wrist like fine jade.

In addition to filigree inlay, there are also various handicrafts. Qiu Erniang makes a lot of jewelry, and the handicrafts are practiced from small pieces. The filigree hollowed out red gold makeup box is the first handicraft she made.

Only Qiu Erniang made it alone, and in the past few months, only a dozen or so filigree inlaid things have been produced in a hurry, and a few of them are put in the Mu family's shop, which is not much more than the ten pieces a year of Qizhou Sheng's family. few.These tasks hurt the eyes, and Yuzhu didn't allow Erniang to do more, and she had a lot of rest time on weekdays.

The emergence of such a filigree inlay craftsman in the capital is still doing work in the Pearl and Jade Pavilion in Yong Yibo's mansion. Who.

In short, Yuzhu's Zhuyu Pavilion is on fire, and those pieces of filigree jewelry have to be reserved. These pieces are extremely expensive, and only two pieces are tentatively scheduled to be sold every month. No matter who it is, first come first served, among One was taken by Shen Yan.

It turned out that Shen Mei brought the filigree engraved golden diamond bracelet inlaid with jadeite grains from Yuzhu to show off in the Duke's mansion, and Shen Yan saw it. The Duke's mansion is not without filigree inlays, but it is not jewelry, it is a gift from the Holy Majesty The Qizhou Sheng family made less jewelry, and mostly made large handicrafts.

Shen Mei and Shen Yan are not without filigree-inlaid jewelry, but they are old styles from a few years ago. The jade beads are made with the new style drawn by the elder sister Yuning, which is very chic and exquisite.Shen Yan must have been a little jealous when she saw this new style of filigree bracelet, so she asked Shen Mei, the little girl didn't care much, and told the elder sister bluntly, "Yuzhuer gave it to me, and a lady who knows how to filigree came to her house." Inlaid craftsmen."

Shen Yan was startled, there is such a powerful craftsman hidden in Xiaoxian Jun's house?After all, she was a little girl, she was surprised and only envious, "Sister, I really like it so much, can you ask Yuzhu for me, is there any more?"

Shen Mei grinned, "Sister, don't worry, Yuzhu told me that her shop will open in a few days, and only two pieces of filigree jewelry will be placed in the shop every month. My sister wants me to make an agreement with Yuzhu'er in advance. But in the future, it will be possible to make an appointment at the shop early on the first day of every month."

Shen Yan smiled and said, "Thank you sister."
