Chapter 9 The Magical Use of the Butterfly Clothes
Like the girls in Sanfang, Cen Sanniang makes three sets of clothes for each season throughout the year.

Cen Sanniang is not a decent girl from Sanfang.When she moved here, everyone in the Cen family could see clearly that one suitcase and two bags were all the belongings.The rest, of course, belonged to the ninth young master who adopted him to the fourth room.

The orphan girl who lost all her family property lived in the third room, and in the future she had to rely on the third room to find a relative to ask for a dowry.Even though some old lady dared not touch Mingli's face, the domestic servants felt contemptuous to some extent.There are three sets of clothes per season, and it’s fine if you don’t pay attention to the material style and sewing, but the clothes you send often don’t fit.

The mother of the weaving room spoke cleverly: "Miss Tang is in good health when she comes to the mansion. If I don't see you in two months, I will be able to jump up..."

Mrs. Xu and Baicao raised the door bolt and rolled up their sleeves, and the mother who was going to the weaving room complained in front of the three old ladies.

In terms of size, Cen Sanniang is not as good as Xu's, and in terms of flexibility, she is not as good as Baicao.Seeing that these two people seemed to have been beaten to death, she had no choice but to move a round drum stool and sit at the gate of the courtyard, preventing them from going.

No matter how excited Xu and Baicao were, they did not dare to tear Cen Sanniang away, and wiped away their tears in aggrieved manner.

Cen Sanniang was moved, but couldn't help laughing.She lifted her feet and walked towards the house, saying angrily: "What a big deal, it's worth crying about? Look at how your third wife is so bloodless..."

The matter was easy to solve, and it didn't take long for the Dragon Boat Festival family banquet.

During the three-year filial piety period, Cen Sanniang couldn't dress so gorgeously.You can't be completely naked in other people's homes.She had excused herself to be filial piety and didn't want to attend, but the third old lady insisted, so she went wearing the butterfly garment that the old lady had given her the first year she entered the mansion.

A blue-green short jacket with hundreds of butterflies embroidered with silver thread on the collar, and a high-waisted white silk skirt tied with an apricot belt.Cen Sanniang combed the little girl's double bun, with only a few thumb-sized silver flowers inserted in it, and two pearl earplugs, as clear and beautiful as the sky after snow.

This is the second year that Cen Sanniang has lived in Sanfang. The 11-year-old Cen Sanniang has grown half of her hair, and her clothes are naturally shortened.Ask the nanny to find an old dress, cut out a palm-width bright blue satin and trim it with a ring.It is exquisitely embroidered with finger-sized white magnolias that are in bud or in full bloom, complementing the silver butterfly on the skirt, like a new dress.

The girls in the third bedroom of Cen's family were surprised at first, but then they recognized that it was just last year's old shirt and laughed.

Cen Sanniang didn't argue, her face was flushed, her head was lowered, her heart was full of joy.

The Cen family in Longzhou is a large family that has lasted for more than 100 years.Many of the descendants of the clan became officials.

There are plenty of people from the Cen clan who want their adoptive sons to inherit the incense of Sifang.Now let the third house take the lead, isn't it because the elder of the third house of the Cen family is the patriarch?If he didn't treat Cen Sanniang kindly, he would be spit on and scolded by others when he went out.If this reputation spread, Cen's officials in the court would inevitably be impeached by the censor.

Now the second master of the third room is a doctor from the fifth rank of the official department, and the third master is going out to Hongzhou to join the army in front of Cao.

The three old ladies did not have a seizure at the banquet.After the family banquet, the eldest lady who presided over Zhongfu was called to scold him.Then the weaving room changed the mother in charge, and kicked out a few servants who made needle money.

Since then, the clothes sent by the weaving house every season have never been inappropriate.

Baicao has a keen eye and always finds that although Cen Sanniang's clothes are good in material, they are not as good as the other girls in Cen's family in terms of color and pattern.But there is no shortage of deductions, Cen Sanniang is already very satisfied.

Without contentment, sympathy turns to disgust.
