Delicate Flower - Chapter 397

[Extra five]

Gu Xi thought that she was going to pick up Yu Tang in a few days, so she went to the tailor’s shop she used to go to to prepare some new clothes.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and it was just when the sleeves were pierced through. She picked it up and picked a piece of honey-colored woven gold and broken branches.

The proprietress of the tailor’s shop was in her thirties, she was white, plump, shrewd and capable, and she was someone who had something in her eyes.

She complimented Gu Xi for her good eyesight, and put the material on Gu Xi’s body, saying, “This honey matches the color of a person, and ordinary people can’t wear it well, but you see, this material complements your skin. How white!”

Indeed.

Gu Xi was very satisfied, and thought that when Yu Tang came to Pei’s mansion, he would definitely hold a family banquet. Maybe Mrs. Yin and the others would treat guests. She followed Old Mrs. Pei and might have the opportunity to show her face, and she also didn’t come for some days. Taking care of this tailor shop’s business, after a long time, why are others still holding 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 heart, I’m afraid there will be entertainment in winter.”

The proprietress of the tailor shop was overjoyed and busy. Sheng instructed the little apprentice to bring one of the materials that were specially brought from Jiangnan a few days ago, and smiled and whispered to Gu Xi: “It’s a tribute woven from Jiangnan, I’m afraid it will bump into the royal family, only a few colors have changed. And patterns, but the materials and weavers are exactly the same.”

Royal things have their own rules, and if you want to do business that others love, you can’t copy them all.

Gu Xi was born in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Gu family also has a silk and satin shop, and the streets here are also clear.

“Then take it over and take a look.” She said casually, supported by the proprietress, she sat down in the private room next to it, took the tea that the proprietress personally served, and took a sip.

The proprietress knew that Gu Xi came from an extraordinary background, and she always wanted Gu Xi to help introduce a few guests. Before the materials were brought over, she leaned over and said with a smile: “When will your sister-in-law come back? I will also go to my uncle then. Madam congratulations.”

Families like the Xu family, the Li family, and the Zhang family all have their own embroidered mothers. Unless they are tired of the clothes at home, they seldom come out to order clothes. She just wants to make a mistake.

If it really does happen, even if you go to their house to make a veil, it will be enough for their family to brag about.

Gu Xi also knew how she was feeling. Thinking that in the past few years she had been dealing with her, the proprietress could be considered honest, so she smiled and said, “I should have returned a few years ago, and I will tell you when the time comes.”

Gu Chang said this .

I have been following Fei Zhiwen’s path for

two years. After the new year, the Ministry of Personnel will check the officials, and there will be changes. Fei Zhiwen is already helping Gu Chang with planning. The Yin family thinks that the Chinese New Year is almost here. But what should be organized and what should be walking, still took advantage of the Chinese New Year to visit and wrote her a letter, asking her to personally urge the servants who stayed in the capital to clean up the house. She hurried back before mid-November. Beijing, let’s go to Xu and Li’s house first.

The proprietress of the tailor’s shop was naturally grateful, thinking that giving Gu Xi a discount would break the rules of the shop. When Gu Xi comes back later, should he give a discount or not?

She thought about it for a while, and while Gu Xi was talking to the tailor about the style, she turned around and went to the warehouse to take a piece of cloth that was two feet long and gave it to Gu Xi: “It’s the Shu embroidery from the Shu area, and you only have this piece of material, you must think it’s normal. , I’m like this, but it’s very rare. You can take it back and make a hat for the young master, or you can make a hem or something, it will definitely be brilliant.”

Gu Xi saw that it was a piece of orange silk, embroidered with lines The pattern of magpies and plum blossoms can be used as a fringe in this way, and it can also be trimmed when cut.

No wonder the proprietress asked her to use it on skirts or hats.

Although this kind of material is common, the embroidery work of this material is very good, whether magpies or plum blossoms, they are all lifelike, with different expressions, full of vitality, and with a lively atmosphere.

It is obvious that it is not an ordinary person’s craftsmanship.

Since you are sending something, of course you have to give it a clear understanding.

The lady boss of the tailor shop did not hide the truth from Gu Xi, and smiled: “It was the lady who embroidered the eyebrows of the emperor who embroidered the “Thousand Cranes” on the Longevity Festival that year. You also know that since her embroidery was in the limelight on the Longevity Festival After that, there was an endless stream of people looking for her, and she stopped picking up ordinary things, which were embroidered before she became famous. I got it by accident, and I have been reluctant to move, otherwise, with people like me, there is no chance to take it To the embroidery of Lady Mei.”

Gu Xi had heard of this.

That year, the emperor celebrated his birthday, and the governor of Sichuan gave the emperor a picture of “Thousand Cranes” as a birthday gift.

On a small screen, a thousand white cranes with different postures are embroidered. The eyebrow lady who embroidered this picture became famous in one fell swoop, surpassing many embroiderers in the south of the Yangtze River, and became the hottest embroidery lady today.

It is said that the price of embroidery is higher than that of gold, the money is charged according to the size, and it is impossible to queue up.

Gu Xi has never seen the embroidery of that lady’s eyebrows, and she doesn’t know whether the fabric in her hand is real or fake, but both the color and the embroidery workmanship are very delicate, rare and exquisite.

She loves it.

There’s nothing wrong with taking it.

She thanked her generously, ordered a squirrel skin cloak, two pairs of warm hands, and made an appointment to pick up the clothes, and then she returned to the house with Hexiang.

Knowing Gu Xi’s thoughts, He Xiang couldn’t help but say when she was serving her dressing: “There are still a few fox skins in the warehouse, which are just perfect for making a cloak. How about we make you another cloak?”

Gu Xi shook his head and said: “Those pieces of skin are still left by my mother, all black fur. Such skins are rare these days, let alone a cloak? Keep it for Brother Yuan when he grows up! I have a piece of gray Rat skins will do.”

But when Yu Tang spent the winter in the capital, she was pregnant with a child, and the third master and the old lady were afraid that she would freeze, so they made five or six pieces of squirrel skins, mink skins, and fox skins.

Hexiang hesitated.

Gu Xi didn’t even pay attention, her mind had already turned to jewelry.

She knows that Yu Tang has a lot of jewelry. She has a mother-in-law on her head in recent years, so she is not good at dressing up. She has not added jewelry for several years. Re-explode and refurbish the jewelry that she had in Pei’s house in the past.

The main reason is that the gems are of good quality. Even if she buys them, she may not be able to buy such good gems in a while.

Gu Xi was busy for a few days, and when she went to greet Yu Tang, she deliberately wore that honey-colored woven gold sleeves jacket and a ruby-encrusted flower crown. Along with Pei Tong, she brought Yuan Geer, Went to Pei Mansion.

Pei Tong went to see Pei Xuan.

The second wife is waiting for her in the inner courtyard.

Seeing her arriving, he hugged Brother Yuan, and said to her, dumbfounded: “Let’s go—A-Dan and Mrs. Xu and the others went together, A-Hong followed A-Chan and the others. They said they were going with me, and they all went with them. I ran away and disappeared.” After he finished speaking, he kissed his brother Yuan’s pink face, and said, “Our brother Yuan is still obedient, and when we come to see our uncle’s milk, we will come to see our uncle’s milk. You buy delicious food and don’t give it to your aunt and uncle.” How

could Brother Yuan understand, he only knew that he grinned and laughed, and if the second wife laughed, she urged Gu Xi: “Let’s hurry up. The carriage, it’s too cold, don’t freeze our brother Yuan.” As

Gu Xi helped the second wife onto the carriage, he said, “Where’s Brother Sen? Are you going to Tongzhou with Adan?” The

second wife gently He sighed and said, “His grandmother said that the weather was too cold, and she was afraid that he would be caught by the wind and would not be allowed to take him out. A-Dan and uncle went out together.”

Gu Xi served the second wife and sat down, laughing: “The weather is indeed too cold. A little bit, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t dare to take Brother Yuan out. But, isn’t Mrs. Yin’s child just full moon? Why is she going out? Did Lord Yin let her go out?

” Yes.” The second wife didn’t even think about it and said, “But with her temperament, if she really wants to do something, no one can stop her. No, Master Yin also went with her. Uncle Qin just heard that Master Yin was following Mrs. Yin. Let’s go with Adan. Otherwise, he is going to go with Achan and Abo.”

While speaking, the carriage galloped out of the gate of Pei Mansion.

The second wife asked about Pei Tong’s homework.

Everyone had great expectations for Pei Tong’s end this time.

Gu Chang was not in the capital, and Gu Xi couldn’t understand Pei Tong’s details, so he could only tell the second wife about his usual situation.

The parents of the two are short, and they have always talked about 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.

all know each other.

But Miss Zhang also came to pick up Yu Tang, which surprised Gu Xi.

Miss Zhang pointed at Xu Xuan with a smile: “It’s all her. I said I wouldn’t come, but she insisted on me coming, and said that your third aunt has a good impression of me, and I’m afraid your third aunt will not remember me at all. I see. Your third aunt, I have to ask carefully to see if it is what she said.”

Xu Xuan gave birth to a child, not knowing whether she was in a happy mood or well-maintained.

She smiled and let Miss Zhang blame, holding Pei Dan: “Go! It’s rare that the child and husband are not around, we can do whatever we want, and have a good drink today.”

Pei Dan shouted: “Don’t look for me. Brother-in-law. I said, you won’t be allowed to drink. The child hasn’t had a hundred days yet. 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 and went to the inner room: “What are you fighting with her? You can’t win the fight. Let’s wash up quickly, rest early, and fight horses together at night!”

Pei Dan ran after him.

“You guys didn’t wait for me!” Xu Xuan crossed her hips when she saw it, “I said why A-Dan doesn’t listen to me more and more, it turns out that you encouraged me, let’s see how I’ll deal with you later.”

“Hyarch! Miss Zhang smiled back and scolded, “If you have the ability to brag in front of your brother-in-law like this, I will obey you.”

Pei Chan’s daughter-in-law pursed her lips and smiled.

Several people went to the inner room playfully.

The second wife laughed and teased Brother Yuan, “It’s better for Brother Yuan to be obedient, let’s go, let’s go drink bird’s nest soup, and ignore them who are crazy.” As she spoke, she hugged Brother Yuan and left.

Gu Xi looked at the servant girl who was busy packing her luggage, and suddenly felt a little cold.
