Red makeup against the world

Chapter 152 Silk Flower
After finally leaving her son in her own house, Yan Shi was extremely careful.The husband and wife are both young and in good health. Tu Ruizhang has been healthy and healthy since childhood.

But for the Lin family, Tu Ruizhang is the only direct grandson, how can he be like other urchins?So he often intervened in Tu Ruizhang's upbringing, and supervised Yan Shi to keep him tight. He was enlightened early, and now he is assigned more and more homework.

Yan felt sorry for her son, and if she relaxed a little, Lin would personally discipline her.Seeing her son's temper getting weaker day by day, and his reading and writing skills also losing the spirituality of the past, Yan's heart felt anxious.

After finally having a playmate of the same age, I saw a long-lost smile on Tu Ruizhang's face. Naturally, Yan would like to bring him more to the "Green Bamboo Garden".

Just now, the two children were playing and had nothing to do, so Yan asked a few words about Xu Wenyu's nanny, Mama Liu.After learning of Mrs. Xu's death, Xu Wenyu was depressed for a long time, and it was Xu Wanzhen who brought him back to his vivacity.So she anxiously wanted to know what trick Xu Wan really used.

Looking at Yan's eager expression and the strong maternal love in her eyes, Xu Wan could not help but have a sore nose.

In her two lifetimes, she has never received maternal love.In modern times, she has a cold relationship with her parents, and the first day she came here was when A Niang passed away.Those gentle cares only existed in her memory and could never be found again.

Xu Wanzhen lowered her head and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then raised her face and said with a smile: "Wanzhen didn't do much, since my little cousin and aunt want to know, I'll explain it in detail, don't think I'm cumbersome."

Yan's heart was on her son, so she didn't notice her strangeness, so she hurriedly said, "I don't mind it, my niece, please speak slowly."

Under the grape trellis, two women with different styles, one of them narrated, the other listened carefully; not far away, two children with drooping temples were laughing and playing, and the maidservant stood quietly.The breeze is coming, bringing the sound of reading in the academy, which is a picture of a leisurely late spring afternoon.

At si o'clock the next day, Xu Wanzhen came to Princess Zhaoyang's mansion again, and got off the carriage outside the second gate.

The princess had already given her instructions, and as soon as she got off the car, she saw Chun Ying coming up to her with a smile and said, "Miss Xu, the princess has been waiting for you early in the morning."

Xu Wanzhen smiled slightly, and said: "Princess Lao has been waiting for a long time, it's the daughter of the people, please ask Miss Chunying to lead the way."

Chunying led the way, and Xu Wanzhen followed behind with Sangzi, all the way forward.I saw that the scenery along the road was familiar, and I thought it was going to the peony garden that I visited last time.

After entering the peony garden, I saw that within a few days, those sick peonies had been removed, the soil was dug again, and plant ash was sprinkled in the soil to sterilize it.

Sure enough, Princess Zhaoyang was in the pavilion of the Peony Garden. Seeing Xu Wanzhen coming, she smiled and said, "Let me see what kind of surprise Wanzhen brings today."

Xu Wanzhen saluted and gently opened the brocade box in Sangzi's hand.I saw three peony silk flowers, namely Xiangyu, Erqiao and Yulouchun, lying quietly on the velvet, blooming with the unique grace and luxury of peony.

Princess Zhaoyang was attracted by this lifelike silk flower, and was delighted to see it, so she picked up a Jade Tower and woke up.

I saw that the flower color was as white as snow and jade, and the flower shape was stacked like a crown. There was a light purple smudge in the depth of the petals. I forgot that it was a fake flower for a while, and I couldn't help but want to smell the fragrance of the flowers.

In an instant, Princess Zhaoyang looked at Xu Wanzhen with her beautiful eyes wide open, and said pleasantly, "It smells so good! How did you do it?"

"Back to the princess, it's not worth mentioning to put it bluntly. The folk girl just fumigated these silk flowers with the fragrance of peony flowers."

"What a delicate idea!" Princess Zhaoyang praised: "Everything is ordinary, but you can turn the ordinary into a miracle. It's really good!"

Xu Wanzhen bowed her eyes and said: "Menwomen don't dare to be praised as princesses."

Princess Zhaoyang smiled heartily, and said: "With me, Wanzhen doesn't have to be so cautious. I will leave the silk flowers to you."

Bai Shao, who was beside her, took a step forward and saluted Xu Wanzhen: "The servant girl made a preliminary estimate that more than five hundred silk flowers will be needed to complete the arrangement of the peony garden. It is only half a month away from the eighth day of the fifth lunar month. I don't know." Will Miss Xu be in time?"

In such a short period of time, this number seems quite huge.Xu Wanzhen was not in a hurry to respond immediately, and silently calculated in her heart.

You must know that there is no industrial production at this time, and such realistic silk flowers are all made by embroiderers.At present, it takes more than two hours to make one flower. After getting familiar with it, the efficiency can be improved, but it will take at least one and a half hours to complete.

Right now in the Green Bamboo Garden, there are eight embroiderers.If you try your best to catch up with the work, each person can make at most five or six flowers in a day, and the quality cannot be guaranteed if there are more.Calculated in this way, you can get more than [-] flowers a day, and more than [-] flowers in half a month.

Calculated in this way, it should be enough for the Princess Mansion.But people are not machines, and there will inevitably be mistakes in the high-intensity rush for half a month. If a embroiderer falls ill, it will be too late.Calculated in this way, it should be just enough, and I am afraid that something will go wrong halfway.

It's still not enough manpower. If it was the Xu family's heyday, how could there be more than a few embroiderers in this area?Not to mention five hundred silk flowers, even five thousand flowers are not a problem.Xu Wanzhen secretly sighed in her heart.However, this is not the time to think about these things, just to solve the problem.

Xu Wanzhen nodded and said: "Minnv roughly calculated, please rest assured, the princess, there must be no problem."

Princess Zhaoyang showed her face and said: "Since that's the case, I will entrust this matter to Wanzhen." Turning her head to order Bai Shao, said: "You and Wanzhen calculate how much it will cost?"

Xu Wanzhen hurriedly said: "The reward given by the princess is more than enough. These silk flowers don't cost anything. It's a daughter's honor to contribute to the Peony Society."

She was going to start with Princess Zhaoyang and inquire about the case of her father and brother. It is a great thing to have this opportunity to work for the Princess House. How can she calculate the silver based on the supply to the Princess?Naturally, the princess' reward cannot be declined, but the money must never be accepted.

Princess Zhaoyang knows the situation in her family, and Xu Wan is really the man she wants to recruit, and now she just uses the silk flower to test her character.If she insists on paying the money, it will make her uneasy, and she will not insist on it now. She can afford Xu Wanzhen's favor.

Leaving the princess mansion, Xu Wanzhen was thinking all the way, adding manpower is the top priority.If this problem is not resolved, it is not her style to bet that no accidents will happen, and the risk is too great.

Because she was thinking about something, she didn't realize that when she got into the carriage outside the second gate, King Qi happened to step in from the front yard.Seeing her figure, he looked slightly astonished for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and raised his steps.

King Qi and Princess Zhaoyang are brothers and sisters who have a very close relationship. This Princess Mansion was built under his supervision, and he walked inside without waiting for the servants to report.

After walking a few steps, he saw the back of Bai Shao after sending off Xu Wanzhen, King Qi smiled and said, "Where is Bai Shao going?"
