Delicate Flower: Extra 5
Gu Xi thought about picking up Yu Tang in a few days, so she went to her usual tailor shop to make some new clothes.
The weather was getting colder and colder, and it was time to put on a sleeveless coat. She picked around and picked a piece of honey-colored material made of gold-woven folding flowers.
The proprietress of the tailor shop is in her thirties, fair, plump, smart and capable, and she is a person with an eye for things.
She praised Gu Xi's good taste, took the material and put it on Gu Xi's body, saying: "This honey-colored color will make you look good. Ordinary people can't wear it well, but you see, this material is so beautiful on your body." How white the skin looks!"
That's true.
Gu Xi was very satisfied, and thought that the Pei Mansion would definitely hold a family banquet when Yu Tang came. Maybe Mrs. Yin and the others would treat the guests. If she followed Mrs. Pei, she might have a chance to show her face. In addition, she also had some There are no days to take care of the business of this tailor shop. As time goes by, why do others still support her?
She simply asked the proprietress of the tailor shop to recommend some more materials for her: "I want to make more clothes that suit my taste. I'm afraid there will be social events in the winter."
When the proprietress of the tailor shop heard this, she was so happy that she couldn't help but shout. She quickly ordered her apprentices to bring over a piece of each piece of material they had specially brought from Jiangnan a few days ago. She also smiled and whispered to Gu Xi. : "It is a tribute from Jiangnan Weaving. I was afraid of clashing with the royal family, so I only changed a few colors and patterns, but the materials and weavers are exactly the same."
Royal things have their own rules. If you want to sell them for other people's love, naturally you cannot copy them all.
Gu Xi was born in the south of the Yangtze River. The Gu family also owned a silk and satin shop, and the people here were well-established.
"Then take it and take a look." She said casually, supported by the proprietress Xu, and sat down in the private room next to her. She took the tea from the proprietress herself and took a sip.
The proprietress knew that Gu Xi had an extraordinary background, and had always wanted Gu Xi to help introduce a few customers. Before the ingredients were brought over, she came over and said with a smile: "When will your sister-in-law come back? I will also come then. Go and say congratulations to my uncle and wife."
Families like the Xu family, Li family, and Zhang family all have their own embroiderers. Unless they are tired of the clothes at home, they rarely come out to order clothes. She just wants to catch up.
If it really happened, even if I went to their house and made a veil, it would be enough for their family to brag about.
Gu Xi also knew how she was feeling. Thinking that in the past few years of dealing with her, the landlady had been doing her job honestly, she smiled and said, "I should be back before the end of the year. I'll let you know then."
Gu Chang has been following Fei Zhiwen's path in the past two years. After the new year, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will review officials and there will be transfers. Fei Zhiwen is already helping Gu Chang make plans. Mrs. Yin is thinking that the New Year is coming soon, although things will She only had one stroke of her horoscope, but she needed to take care of things and move around, so she took advantage of the Chinese New Year to pay her a visit and wrote a letter to her, asking her to personally supervise the maid who stayed in the capital to clean the house. She hurried to When I return to Beijing before mid-November, I will first go to Xu and Li’s houses for a walk.
The proprietress of the tailor shop was naturally grateful after hearing this. She thought that giving Gu Xi a discount would break the rules of the shop. If Gu Xi came back in the future, would it be better to give a discount or not? She thought for a while, and while Gu Xi was discussing the style with the tailor, she turned to the warehouse and took a two-foot scrap of cloth and gave it to Gu Xi: "It's Shu embroidery from Shu. I only got this piece of material. You must think it's unusual." , but it’s very rare for me to be like this. You can take it back and make a hat for the young master, or you can make a ruffle or something yourself. It will definitely look good.”
Gu Xi saw that it was a piece of orange silk, embroidered with patterns of magpies and plum blossoms. It could be made into ruffles or trimmed. No wonder the boss lady asked her to use it on skirts or hats.
Although such materials are common, the embroidery work on this piece of material is very good. The magpies and plum blossoms are all lifelike, with different expressions, full of vitality, and a lively atmosphere.
It can be seen that this is not the craftsmanship of ordinary people.
Since you are giving something away, of course you have to give it clearly.
The proprietress of the tailor shop did not hide anything from Gu Xi and said with a smile: "It was Miss Mei who embroidered the "Thousand Cranes" for the emperor on the Wanshou Festival that year. As you know, her embroidery has been on display since the Wanshou Festival. After she became famous, there was an endless stream of people looking for her. She no longer accepted ordinary things. This was something she had embroidered before she became famous. I got it accidentally, and I have been reluctant to do it. Otherwise, with a person like me, how can I do it? There is a chance to get Lady Mei’s embroidery.”
Gu Xi has heard of this.
That year when the emperor celebrated his birthday, the governor of Sichuan gave the emperor a painting of "Thousand Cranes" as a birthday gift. On a small screen, a thousand white cranes with different postures were embroidered. The lady who embroidered this picture became famous in one fell swoop, surpassing many embroiderers in the south of the Yangtze River, and became the most popular embroiderer today. It is said that the price of embroidery is better than gold, and the price is charged according to the size, and the queue is even longer.
Gu Xi has never seen the embroidery of Lady Mei, and doesn’t know whether the fabric in her hand is real or fake, but both the color and the embroidery work are very exquisite, rare, and high-quality. She loved it. There's nothing wrong with accepting it.
She thanked her generously, ordered a chinchilla skin cloak, two pairs of hand warmers, and agreed on a date to pick up the clothes, before returning home with the fragrance of lotus.
He Xiang knew what Gu Xi was thinking and couldn't help but say while serving her to change: "There are still a few pieces of fox skin in the warehouse, which can be used to make a cloak. How about making another cloak for you?"
Gu Xi shook his head and said: "Those pieces of leather were left by my mother, all black fur. Such leather is rare nowadays, not to mention it can be made into a cloak? Keep it for Brother Yuan to grow. Use it if you’re old enough! I just have a chinchilla leather one.”
But when Yu Tang spent the winter in the capital, she was pregnant with a child. The third master and the old lady were afraid that she would freeze, so they made five or six pieces each of chinchilla skin, mink skin, and fox skin.
The fragrance of lotus makes you stop talking.
Gu Xi didn't even notice, her mind had already turned to the jewelry.
She knows that Yu Tang has a lot of jewelry. She has had a mother-in-law above her head and has not been able to dress up too much in recent years. She hasn’t bought any jewelry for several years. If she goes to buy any more, she is afraid that the eldest lady will make irresponsible remarks. Well, it's better to blow up the jewelry she got at Pei's house and make new ones. The main reason is that the quality of those gems is good. Even if she goes to buy them, she may not be able to buy such good gems in a while.
Gu Xi was busy for a few days, and on the day she went to greet Yu Tang, she specially wore the honey-colored woven gold sleeved coat and a corolla inlaid with rubies. Together with Pei Tong, she brought Yuan Brother, I went to Pei Mansion.
Pei Tong went to see Pei Xuan.
The second wife is waiting for her in the inner courtyard.
Seeing her arrive, he hugged Brother Yuan and said to her in a dumbfounded voice: "Let's go - A Dan and Mrs. Xu walked together, and A Hong followed A Chan and the others. He said he was going with me, All of them ran away without a trace." After saying that, he kissed Brother Yuan's pink face and said, "It's better for us, Brother Yuan, to be obedient. If you say you want to see your great-uncle's milk, come and see your great-uncle's milk. Wait a minute Granduncle buys delicious food for you, but not for your aunt and uncle."
Brother Yuan didn’t understand what he was saying. He only grinned and his mouth was full of saliva. If Mrs. Ruode laughed, she urged Gu Xi: “Let’s get in the carriage quickly. It’s too cold. Don’t freeze our Yuan.” Brother."
As Gu Xi helped the second wife get into the carriage, she said, "Where's Brother Sen? Did you go to Tongzhou with A Dan?"
The second wife sighed softly and said: "His grandmother said that the weather was too cold and she was afraid that he would catch the cold, so she wouldn't let him be carried out. A Dan went out with his uncle."
Gu Xi served the second wife to sit down and smiled: "The weather is indeed too cold. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have dared to carry Brother Yuan out. However, wasn't Mrs. Yin's child just one month old? Why did she She went out too? Did Master Yin let her go out?"
"I'm sure she won't let her." The second wife said without thinking, "But with her temperament, if she really wants to do something, no one can stop her. No, Mr. Yin also went with her. Uncle Qin is I heard that Master Yin was with Mrs. Yin, so I followed A Dan. Otherwise, he was planning to go with A Chan and A Bo."
As he spoke, the carriage galloped out of the gate of Pei Mansion.
The second wife asked about Pei Tong’s homework.
Everyone has great expectations for Pei Tong's fate this time.
Gu Chang was not in the capital, and Gu Xi couldn't figure out Pei Tong's details, so she could only tell the second wife about his usual situation. The two of them had short families, and they talked about it all the way to Tongzhou.
They rested in the house that Yu Tang had bought.
The female family members are in the inner courtyard, and the men are in the outer courtyard.
Gu Xi met Xu Xuan, Miss Zhang and others.
I know everyone.
But Miss Zhang also came to pick up Yu Tang, which still surprised Gu Xi.
Miss Zhang smiled and pointed at Xu Xuan: "It's all her. I said I wouldn't come, but she insisted that I come. She also said that your third aunt has a good impression of me. I'm afraid your third aunt won't remember me at all. . After meeting your third aunt, I have to ask carefully to see if this is what she said."
Xu Xuan gave birth to two children one after another. I don’t know whether it was because she was in a happy mood or because she was taking good care of herself. She didn’t look haggard at all, but was in better spirits than before.
She smiled and allowed Miss Zhang to accuse her, and held Pei Dan in her arms: "Let's go! It's rare that the child's husband is not around, so we can do whatever we want. Let's have a good drink today."
Pei Dan shouted: "Don't look for me. My brother-in-law said that you are not allowed to drink. The child is not even 100 days old. I don't want my brother-in-law to hate me."
Xu Xuan threatened Pei Dan: "You are not afraid that I will hate you."
Pei Dan looked in a dilemma.
Miss Zhang dragged her to the inner room: "Why are you arguing with her? You will definitely not win. ~IndoMTL.com~ Let's go freshen up quickly, rest early, and play horse hanging together in the evening!"
Pei Dan ran away.
"You didn't wait for me!" Xu Xuan saw her and put her hands on her hips, "I said that A Dan is becoming more and more disobedient to me. It turns out you are the one who instigated him. Let's see how I deal with you later."
"Dominatrix!" Miss Zhang smiled and scolded back, "If you have the ability to scream like this in front of your brother-in-law, I will obey you."
Pei Chan's wife pursed her lips and smiled.
A few people went to the inner room playfully.
The second wife was both laughing and laughing, teasing Brother Yuan: "Brother Yuan, it's better for us to be obedient. Let's go and drink bird's nest soup. Ignore these people who are going crazy." With that, she hugged Brother Yuan and left.
Gu Xi looked at the room full of maids busy packing their luggage, and suddenly felt a little cold.
