The beauty of the lady

Chapter 154 New Year (1)
Tang Zhongyuan wrote them down one by one, and then left with thanks again and again.

"Xia Qi, send a few pieces of material to my aunt, let her pick out the rest first, and then ask the masters in the mansion to share the rest, and give these two pieces of red satin to my aunt, and let her send someone to send it to you. Leave it to the Eldest Miss in the Yiyang Marquis Mansion, remember to bring back the silver." After Xia Qi left, she said to Chun Qin: "Go to the shop and pick out some suitable fabrics, and send them to Anguo Gong Mansion. There is a 300-year-old ginseng plant in it, which was also given to my uncle and grandfather."

"Understood, miss, the servant girl will do it now."

Xia Qi here, first went to Lu's side.

"Xia Qi, why are you here?"

Xia Qi stepped forward and asked the two girls behind him to put down the fabric, and said with a smile, "Returning to the young lady, this is the feather gauze satin brought by our caravan. They are both light and warm brocade. The young mistress first selects them for me, and then gives them to other masters."

Lu's naturally knows about feather satin, but the price is really expensive, [-]% higher than that of feather satin, so she is reluctant to buy it.

At this time, seeing that color or gorgeous or dignified material, his eyes immediately sparkled.

She stepped forward to stroke the smooth satin, and then picked up a piece of cloth more than three or four feet long. The light texture surprised her.

"That's great." Lu said in admiration.

Xia Qi covered her lips and smiled lightly: "Young Mistress, feel free to wear it, it's very warm, it's all woven in the Western Regions, and it's the only one from the Great Yan Dynasty."

Master Tang is a capable person. I heard that a consensus has been reached with the Western Regions to supply them exclusively to their family, but they need to exchange for the improved seeds and medicinal materials here, because the demand of both sides is equally huge, so the lady said, this is what the merchant said. win-win situation.

This time there were eight pieces of feather gauze satin in total. She picked out one piece of light pink and one piece of indigo blue, and then ordered the remaining six pieces to be sent to the dead son first, and let them choose in turn.

As for Yiyang Hou Mansion, when Yu Huazhen saw the bright red fabric, she almost jumped up excitedly, because it felt very light when she held it in her hand, but the tentacles were silky and thick, so she asked the girl next to her to give it to her on the spot. Xia Qi 300 taels of silver.

"Miss Yu, these two bolts of cloth only need 200 taels of silver."

When Yu Huazhen heard the words, she immediately laughed, pushed back the bank note and said, "Accept it, this is my wish, your lady will not blame you, don't worry."

"The servant girl will thank Miss Yu on behalf of my lady."

"I'm the one who said thank you. This bit of silver is for you. Take it."

Xia Qi thanked her again: "If Miss Yu is fine, the servant girl will go back first."

"Okay, tell your miss, when the new year is over and it gets warmer, I'll go to your miss for an outing."

"Yes, the maidservant will convey it word for word, and the maidservant will take my leave."

As soon as Xia Qi left, Yu Huazhen asked the maid to carry two pieces of cloth to Mrs. Yu's yard, the smile on her face was enough to melt the snow.

"Mother, look, this is the material sent by Miss Zhou."

Mrs. Yu was looking at the accounts in the room, when she heard her daughter's voice and looked up, what she saw was the dazzling red, the color was so pure that it dazzled people's eyes like a dream.

She stood up and walked forward, pulled it away a little, touched it carefully, and nodded in satisfaction after a long while.

"Is this the material of Zhouji Silk and Satin Factory? It is really good, not to mention the color is very positive, and the feel is even better."

Yu Huazhen nodded excitedly, the blush on her cheeks was extraordinarily delicate, "Yes, sister Zhou said that their family's caravan will come back in December, and now it's here, I don't know how many beautiful things they brought back this time." material."

Mrs. Yu thought for a while, and said to the nurse in charge behind her, "Cuiyu, ask Grandma to come over."

"Yes!"

"Mother, do you want sister-in-law to buy satin?" Yu Huazhen asked.

Mrs. Yu nodded: "This material is very good, and it's almost the end of the new year. Take advantage of this time, buy more, and bring it to you when you get married. Now that the fabric is delivered, you can spend the rest of the time. Just make the wedding dress in the room, but don't just know how to be playful all day long."

"My daughter knows, but my daughter told sister Zhou's maid that she will go for a walk in the suburbs with her sister when it gets warmer next year."

"Okay, it's up to you."

When Mrs. Shizi heard the news, she also liked this material very much. I don't know if there are other colors. Which woman doesn't like gorgeous clothes, even the elderly are no exception, let alone young women and children. daughter in law.

As the end of the new year approaches, several shops of the Zhou family are very busy, such as the silk and satin shop, the spice shop, and the Wenyage Pavilion. In less than a month, they may earn another 3 or [-] taels of silver.

Now there are about 10 taels of silver in the family, and it will be done after a thorough liquidation at the end of the year.

The closer the end of the year is, the more leisure Zhou Mei will be here. Originally, she was planning to return to the Zhou Mansion for the New Year, but because the Hou Mansion is also in an eventful season, the Lu family discussed with Zhou Mei, and when the end of the year, let Zhou Mei's family Just spend the New Year in the mansion, and get together to have fun.

Zhou Mei also sent someone back to ask Mrs. Zhao what she meant, and the answer she got was yes.

In fact, this is also good, leaving the uncle's family in the Hou Mansion, it is really deserted.

Several aunts in the mansion, because they got good materials, brought their own things to thank them. Aunt Wang gave Zhou Mei a pair of jade hairpins, although the style and texture were not very good, and Aunt Zhao gave Zhou Mei Mei made a set of underwear, the collar and cuffs were embroidered, very delicate, and Aunt Guo also sent her six silk handkerchiefs embroidered by herself during her pregnancy.

Since Mrs. Lu was in charge of the house, the food and drink expenses in each room have been very regular. No one has exceeded the rules and no one has been deducted. However, Aunt Guo is pregnant, and Mrs. Lu is considerate of her thoughts, so she cooks for her every day. All kinds of very good tonic soups, and the doctor will definitely come to check her pulse. They all say that this baby is very healthy, and Zhou Mei also gave her pulse, she is a sister.

Aunt Guo didn't show disappointment when she heard it, but she was still very happy. It wasn't until then that Zhou Mei realized that this Aunt Guo was really thoughtful, and she couldn't forget that she said to herself that my sister is also very good. It's just a matter of asking the Hou Mansion to provide a dowry. When Lord Hou leaves, she can retire in the courtyard of the Hou Mansion.

Zhou Mei also promised that when the time comes, Aunt Guo's child will be married off, at least to be a first wife, and Aunt Guo happily agreed.

Although Aunt Guo usually came to see Zhou Mei more times, she didn't feel impatient. At least this Aunt Guo was not like Aunt Wang who was not as smart as Aunt Wang, and she was not like Aunt Zhao who was obviously holding back her thoughts, but always let her Others guess that Aunt Guo is someone who can see her identity clearly. Her dream of being a concubine did not come true, so she handed it over to her daughter. No matter what kind of family it is, as long as there is a bosom friend who knows the cold and the hot, she will be satisfied, even though it may only be for now. The idea is enough for her, and it's nothing to help.
