I want my green plum to become a phoenix (rebirth)

The master and the servant talked about Qin Jiarong for a while, and in the middle of the afternoon, Hui Niang suddenly remembered Wei Shi's order in the morning, so she asked Ban Xia to prepare a few snacks, and Lian Qiao carried them to the West Side Courtyard to visit the elder sister Fu Niang .

I didn't want Fu Niang to take the medicine and fall asleep again. Aniniang ran for nothing, and didn't even see Fu Niang's face, so she had to ask Lianqiao to pass the snacks to Polygonatum odoratum, and then went back to her yard up.

This was almost a whole afternoon completely free, and Hui Niang spent a while in boredom, then called Ban Xia to discuss the birthday gift with her. "I don't know if there will be enough time for needlework when the foster mother in Ming'er Palace arrives. It's okay to give the soft hat to the wife, but the happy clogs are something that takes a lot of work. It's in time for my father's birthday next month." It was a little fake when it was made before. Think about it for me, what else is there to give away?"

Ban Xia tilted her head, "The girl still plans to give the master a piece of sewing?"

"It doesn't matter what you give." Hui Niang smiled mockingly, Qin Mengyuan's attitude towards her changed several times, although it was not obvious, but under Hui Niang's attention, it was difficult to hide his tracks.This time, she was favored by the queen and selected as Princess Rongcheng's companion, which was also a very embarrassing thing for Qin Mengyuan.With this layer of amulet, even if Qin Mengyuan only gave him a handwritten "Shou" on his birthday next month, Qin Mengyuan would definitely try to find something to boast about.

It's just that Hui Niang doesn't plan to fall out with her father for the time being, so there's no need to take Qin Mengyuan's face too seriously. She still plans to make good preparations for this birthday gift.

"It's better to give a piece of needlework, don't waste time like making shoes, just take some time to do a little in the past few days, and then you can give it away." Looking at Banxia again, "You just think about it, you don't have to worry about it." It is decided now that it is better to cut out the material for the bonnet to be given to the wife, and when Mammy comes, I don't know if I will have time to make these next month."

"Maids have already thought up the material for making soft hats for my wife, and there are ready-made patterns, all you need to do is to trace them. Miss, would you like to have a look?"

Ban Xia was also used to needlework when she served the old lady before, and for the past half a year, she has been with Hui Niang, and occasionally made a few underwear for Hui Niang.The patterns drawn are also very ingenious, Huiniang really likes the clothes that Ban Xia made for herself, she just thinks they are even better than the clothes made in Huanxi Shali, the famous embroidery building in the capital.

Speaking of which, in the past half a year, Hui Niang also got some good clothes, and some of them were decent clothes that Wei asked the embroiderer in Huanxisha to come over and tailor the clothes for their sisters. Xia, "Go and find out the light orange dress embroidered with folded chrysanthemums that Huanxisha sent over. Tomorrow, when I meet the nanny in the palace for the first time, I can't just wear homely clothes. Will be happy."

"Which one is the little jacket girl going to choose?" Ban Xia asked again.

"I remember a short jacket embroidered with light blue chrysanthemums, which is very good, and a pea-green satin round-neck gown, or a scarlet beige..." Huiniang recalled her clothes carefully. There are several autumn clothes in the box. Noble people in the capital are most particular about the color and season of their clothes. It is late autumn, and it is not out of date to wear clothes embroidered with chrysanthemums.

This is also because Animian didn't have any new winter clothes for this year. Although there were two warm clothes in the suitcase, they were made from other people's old clothes.Although the materials are all good, and they are all undressed, but Animian can tell that the clothes are not new this year. In the eyes of the nanny in the palace, she will naturally have nothing to hide. It would be too embarrassing for Shang Shufu to say what is inside and outside the words.

For the sake of Shang Shufu's face, and also for Hui Niang's own face, she had no choice but to wear autumn clothes to save face. "Find out those few clothes." Hui Niang indifferently ordered, "Compared to choosing one..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Lianqiao say outside the room: "Girl, Sister Zisu is here."

Hui Niang and Ban Xia looked at each other, and immediately guessed the reason for Zi Su's visit.Banxia immediately went outside and asked Zisu to come in, but Huiniang sat on the kang and said with a smile, "Miss Zisu is a rare visitor."

"It was the old lady who asked me to take a look at the clothes that the second girl will wear tomorrow."

Sure enough, it was for this matter.Hui Niang's eyes flashed, "I'm also discussing this matter with Sister Banxia, ​​and I have selected a few clothes, but I don't know if grandma is satisfied or not." She turned her head and called Banxia, ​​"Sister Banxia, ​​tell me what you just said. Find those few clothes and show them to Sister Zisu."

Ban Xia agreed, and went to the suitcase to pick out the clothes Aninian mentioned, and put them on the screen one by one.I found three jackets on the upper body, but only one skirt on the lower body, and they were all autumn shirts. It looked like the clothes sent over two months ago. "This year's winter clothes haven't arrived yet." Ban Xia said while arranging the light orange skirt, "Girl explains, I'll wear this skirt first, what does Sister Zisu think?"

Zisu's eyes flashed, and she looked at Huiniang and Banxia, ​​but the two masters and servants only looked at her with a smile.Although there is not a single word of complaint, the wit hidden in the words is not inaudible, and the attitude is even more impeccable - if the old lady and Wei Shi don't pay attention, Hui Niang will wear this dress tomorrow Going to see the nanny in the palace can't be said to be an accident that hurt the Qin family's face--the materials are all high-quality, the embroidery is also exquisite, and those with more eyes can be seen as Huanxisha's handicraft.However, how can the mother in the palace not have her own interpretation when wearing the clothes that have passed half a season before going out to meet people?

What's more, Hui Niang's life experience has long been no secret in the capital. Although the men may not notice it, but just last month, the wife of Qin Mengyuan's subordinate came to greet the old lady and chat with the old man When I was talking about Hui Niang, although I only mentioned one or two sentences, but inside and outside the words, I was curious why the Qin family sent their prostitute daughter to their hometown to be raised by relatives.

The Wei family is not Qin Mengyuan's original spouse, but his second wife. Because of the existence of the Eldest Princess, no one in the capital dares to mention this matter, but it is definitely not a secret, and combined with Hui Niang's experience , has long been able to write a book of stories.

Now, if there is another news about Hui Niang wearing out-of-season clothes in the Qin family...

It doesn't mean that girls have to wear new clothes every day, but the embarrassing relationship between the Wei family and Hui Niang is easy to be blamed, and thousands of words are spread for no reason.Not to mention, the clothes really arrived a bit late...

But Auntie only came to Beijing this spring, the old lady and Wei didn't let her bring the winter clothes she used to wear in her hometown, and she didn't have any good clothes from previous years to make up for - Zisu felt a headache when she thought about it, But she couldn't really let Huiniang wear a dress embroidered with chrysanthemum patterns to learn the rules from the nuns in the palace.

She glanced at the blouse hanging on the screen again: the light blue jacket was also embroidered with chrysanthemums, and the vermilion beanie was a bit flimsy now, it was suitable for the Mid-Autumn Festival, only the bean The green crew-neck gown still looks good.

Silently memorizing these clothes, Zisu pursed her lips and smiled, "These clothes are very good, I will go report to the old lady."

Zisu didn't promise anything, and Animian didn't care, she calmly asked Banxia to send Zisu out of the eastern courtyard, tilted her head to look at the clothes on the screen, smiled with her lips curled up, and got up Went to the study.

As soon as the paper was laid down, and Lian Qiao helped grind the ink, Ban Xia turned back and said, "Miss, do you want to write?"

Hui Niang held the pen in one hand and rested her chin in the other, "I just suddenly thought that it would be better to make a fan cover embroidered with various characters of 'Shou' and give it to my father. I planned to write all these characters on paper first, and then choose a suitable The flowers are shaped like flowers and embroidered on the material."

"The servant girl will help the girl choose the material."

"Go." Hui Niang smiled and let Banxia do things by herself, only let Lianqiao wait by her side, she was also single-minded when writing, and soon came up with a dozen completely different "shou" characters.

"Girl's handwriting is really beautiful." Lian Qiao flatteringly boasted.

The corners of Hui Niang's lips pursed, thinking of her experiences in the past two lives, she didn't want to say more, she just asked Lian Qiao, "Do you want to learn to write?"

Lian Qiao shook her head, "This servant is very stupid. Although she can read a few characters, she can't write them, and the characters she writes are not good-looking."

"Practice more - you don't usually focus on writing, of course you can't write well. Wait a few days..."

"Girl." Huiniang was talking to Lianqiao about teaching the maid how to write, when Ban Xia came in again with a big smile on her face, "The old lady sent some winter clothes over, and The sewing mothers at home said that they were measuring the girl's body, and if there was any need to modify the clothes, they could do it quickly."

Hui Niang didn't understand for a moment, but she obediently put down her brush and stood up, leaving the study.Zisu is leading the two mothers in charge, and there are a few little maids standing outside. The little maids are holding trays in their hands, on which are several tops, skirts, nets, etc. A small box, it looks like it should contain jewelry.

Without waiting for Anenniang to ask more questions, Zisu brought the two mothers in charge to get busy, Ban Xia and Lian Qiao also helped.After trying on the clothes, the mothers who specialize in needlework wrote down the parts and sizes that needed to be changed, and half an hour had passed.

Hui Niang was tired and impatient after being tormented like this. As soon as the mother in charge put away the ruler in her hand, she took advantage of the opportunity and sat on the chair next to her. Zisu told the two mothers: "These two The clothes are going to be used tomorrow, so you have to rush to change them out tonight—you can change them right away, just this peach-red robe and brown-yellow skirt."

The two mothers quickly wrote down that they were about to lead the maids who were holding clothes out, when the cotton windshield curtain at the door of the outer room was lifted at this moment, and Shan Zhi, who was beside Wei Shi, came in with a bundle in his hand , Seeing the battle in the room, he paused for a moment, then smiled and blessed Huiniang, "Second Miss, this is a cloak that Madam asked her slave to give to Er Madam, Madam said, these days The second girl wears this one first, and waits until around the winter solstice before giving it to Da Mao."
