Abandoned Wife Heads the House: Farming with Adorable Baby

Chapter 368 Chapter 369: A person as pale as a chrysanthemum and has no bearing
Early the next morning, Bai Ruozhu and her family set up a stall. After waiting for the most crowded morning market, Bai Ruozhu called Mrs. Laifu, and they went to Ding Mansion together.

On the way, Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but think of what she asked Jiang Yichun again the night before, about Mrs. Li Shunsheng.

"There is nothing wrong with Mrs. Li, but she doesn't like her daughter-in-law. In addition, her niece said she admired Li Shunsheng and fawned over Mrs. Li everywhere, so she was persuaded by Liu Xian'er to drug Mrs. Li. But Liu Xian'er Her natal family is not very simple, and she cannot marry Li Shunsheng."

Bai Ruozhu quickly thought of Li Shunsheng's political position in Anyuan Town, and immediately thought that his cousin Liu Xian'er's family might be a subordinate of someone who was a serious ally of the emperor.

She didn't ask any more questions, and Jiang Yichun didn't say what he wanted her to do, probably because he didn't want her to be in danger.

But when she thought about facing Mrs. Li soon, she felt a little uncomfortable. After all, she knew this secret, which always felt troublesome.

When they arrived at Ding's house, Bai Ruozhu felt even more troubled because there were not only Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Li sitting in the house, but also a young lady.

The young lady was sitting next to Mrs. Li. Seeing that she was very close to her, Bai Ruozhu's heart tightened. She probably guessed who it was.

"Cousin, this is the woman who made your hat. She looks different from ordinary village women." The woman said with a smile, her voice was very pleasant, and her eyebrows were curved because of her smile. If Bai Ruozhu hadn't overheard, From her conversation with Mrs. Li, she would definitely think that she was a woman with a good personality.

Hearing this, Bai Ruozhu was already sure that she was Liu Xian'er who was in the teahouse yesterday. She remembered the voice very clearly.

Mrs. Ding smiled and introduced to Bai Ruozhu and Laifu: "This is Miss Liu, Mrs. Li's husband's cousin. She liked the little hat very much when she saw it, and wanted to ask if she could make something else."

Bai Ruozhu thought to herself that this Miss Liu is really smart and knows how to adapt.

"You can make scarves, shawls, and vests, it depends on what Miss Liu needs." Bai Ruozhu said lightly. In fact, she didn't want to make anything for Liu Xian'er at all, but she couldn't act suspicious, so she could only comfort her. She herself is a fool if she doesn't make money. Since she doesn't like Liu Xian'er, she should cheat her money.

Soon, Bai Ruozhu's unhappiness was defeated by the profiteer nature in her heart.

Liu Xian'er looked surprised when she heard this, and asked: "What effect can the shawl have? Is there any pattern?" When she asked, her expression was not only surprised, but also a little shy, as if she had thought of using a beautiful shawl. Who watches.

Bai Ruozhu felt nauseated when she saw it, but said calmly: "How about I draw a pattern for Miss Liu."

Mrs. Ding nodded and asked the maid to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and spread the paper on the table.

Bai Ruozhu has never studied painting, but when she was doing crochet work in the United States in her previous life, she often looked at simple renderings, and she could even draw a few strokes herself.

So she outlined the shape of the shawl with just a few strokes, and drew some five-petal flower patterns on it.

"This shawl is made up of five-petal flowers. It can be denser and more warm, or it can be more elaborate, but it is thinner. You can also hook gems or pearls into the center of the flower, which will make it look more luxurious." Bai Ruozhu put down the brush and explained stand up.

Not only did Liu Xian'er look straight at it now, but Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Li also wanted it. However, when Liu Xian'er heard that Mrs. Li was going to do something, her face changed slightly, but she quickly covered it up.

Bai Ruozhu sneered in her heart, Liu Xian'er wanted to show her face in front of her cousin, but if Mrs. Li also wore a shawl, would Li Shunsheng pay special attention to her?But soon Liu Xian'er's eyes flashed with satisfaction. She glanced at Mrs. Li's figure secretly, and her posture became more erect. If it was the same thing, wouldn't it be more obvious that she was much better than her cousin? ?
Bai Ruozhu could tell what Liu Xian'er was thinking at a glance, but she didn't care about the intrigues in the house, she just wanted to make money from her.

Mrs. Li didn't seem to notice Liu Xian'er's ambition, and she was particularly close to her. She said with a smile: "Xian'er likes pink, so I will choose dark purple."

Mrs. Ding also smiled and said: "Yes, we are too old to choose those pink colors. I want a dark red one."

Bai Ruozhu wrote them down one by one and said, "I will stagger the patterns and won't let you repeat the same pattern."

Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Li both smiled and nodded upon hearing this, but Liu Xianer frowned at the drawing and asked in a questioning tone: "Can't you draw out the look of a chrysanthemum?"

Phew, chrysanthemums... Bai Ruozhu's belly turned crooked. Wouldn't the chrysanthemums on this shoulder be too eye-catching?
"Yes, my cousin loves chrysanthemums the most, and her family often praises her for being as light as a chrysanthemum." Mrs. Li explained with a smile.

The corner of Bai Ruozhu's mouth twitched. Sooner or later, people will die like chrysanthemums, right?

"The petals of the chrysanthemum are too complicated. If many chrysanthemums are put together, it will look very messy. If it is a chrysanthemum, I suggest hooking a large chrysanthemum behind the back to avoid affecting the effect." Bai Ruozhu said.

Liu Xian'er frowned. She obviously didn't believe Bai Ruozhu's statement. She even thought that a village woman could have better discernment than a rich lady like her?

But Mrs. Ding felt that what Bai Ruozhu said made sense, nodded and said, "It's not too complicated."

Liu Xian'er shook her head, "But I like chrysanthemums, so make me a shawl with chrysanthemums. Don't use pink as the color, use yellow, it will be more vivid."

Bai Ruozhu snickered in her heart, this young lady has really good taste. Since she likes it, just do as she says.

"Okay, we just follow Miss Liu's instructions."

Mrs. Ding glanced at Mrs. Li and said nothing more. Mrs. Li asked Bai Ruozhu, "How do you calculate the order for the shawl?"

"If the ladies prepare the gemstones on the shawls themselves, it will cost 12 taels of silver each. The shawl is much larger than the hat, and the craftsmanship is much more complicated. Mrs. Laifu and I may have to rush to work for a long time." Bai Ruozhu said and looked at Liu Xian'er, "The chrysanthemum craftsmanship required by Miss Liu is even more complicated, so it costs 18 taels of silver."

Liu Xian'er's almond-shaped eyes widened and she blurted out: "It's so expensive, why don't you go and grab it?"

Mrs. Ding frowned slightly and thought to herself, why is this cousin of Li Shunsheng's family so unable to get on the stage? She doesn't need to be a dignitary. This is too petty to say.

Mrs. Li looked a little uncomfortable. Generally speaking, it would be nothing for a young lady to spend more than ten or twenty taels of silver. After all, Liu Xianer's family was a little lower and her vision was also much lower.Looking at Bai Ruozhu's indifferent expression, she is really not as good as a woman from a commoner background.
