Chapter 598: Aren't They Giving Away?
Three days later, when Bai Ruozhu received Jiang Yichun's letter, she was preparing the clothes she was going to wear when she went to Mrs. Meng's banquet.
Jiang Yichun said in the letter that she was about to board the ship, and unless she docked halfway, it was inconvenient for someone to send her a letter. Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but feel funny when she saw it, removing the time it took for the letter to be delivered to her, Jiang Yichun wrote the letter almost the day after she left.
And judging from the content of the letter, Jiang Yichun's forgetfulness Gu has not yet been solved, she doesn't know why when she thinks of forgetfulness Gu, her heart pounds, probably because she is afraid that she will be surpassed by others.
Bai Ruozhu thought wildly, time passed quickly, and by noon, she had only made a quarter of the gown.
She threw down the work in her hand in her heart and went to eat supplementary food with her pedals. She had been out of medicine for a few days and could breastfeed the pedals, so she gave the nurse she invited a sum of money and thanked them again.
As soon as she left the house, she bumped into the second brother's inquiring gaze, and the second brother raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter, you're lost and depressed?"
Jiang Yichun's letter could not be sent directly to the Bai family, but to the City Lord's Mansion, and then Meng Liangsheng handed it over to Bai Zepei, and finally handed it over to Bai Ruozhu.
Therefore, Bai Zepei is very aware of Jiang Yichun's entry into Beijing.
Bai Ruozhu pouted in annoyance, okay, the second brother finally caught something and made fun of her this time.
Without waiting for her to speak, Bai Zepei strode up to her, stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of her hair, and said, "Don't worry, Master Meng said that he must be promoted here, and you can prepare a wedding dress." ”
Bai Ruozhu's face turned red, did her second brother persuade her? Why did he mention the wedding dress, didn't he want to tease her?
"Second brother, don't always worry about my affairs, you have been attending banquets a lot recently, and you haven't met a satisfactory beauty?" Bai Ruozhu decided to fight back.
Bai Zepei's eyes flashed slightly, "No." ”
Hmph, Bai Ruozhu snickered in his heart, the second brother must have hidden something, could it be that his peach blossoms are finally going to bloom?
Lin Ping'er asked their brother and sister to eat at this time, Gui Zhi brought the food into the main house, Bai Ruozhu suddenly thought of Gui Zhi's feelings for the second brother, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, feeling uncomfortable for her good sister.
I hope Guizhi can let go of it sooner, the relationship is the most difficult to force.
In the evening, Bai Ruozhu summoned the ladies of the family and told them about the requirements of Mrs. Meng's screen, and when everyone heard whether it was to be dedicated to the palace or to the queen mother, they immediately became serious, and even straightened their backs.
"You don't have to be too nervous, our version is just a sample, not the last to be handed in, and only a quarter is enough. Seeing them so nervous, Bai Ruozhu couldn't help laughing, thinking that he was the same at the beginning, and he was afraid that he would lose his head and didn't dare to take this job.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, Bai Ruozhu looked at Wang Caiyue again and said, "Sister-in-law is important to have a baby, just see how to do it first, and when it is officially done, you will start to help." ”
Wang Caiyue pursed her lips, but nodded and agreed, at this time, she shouldn't be reckless.
Soon everyone divided the work, and crochet had a good point, that is, it was easy to connect pieces together.
By the afternoon of the next day, the first version of the sample was ready, and Bai Ruozhu took the sample to Mengfu.
She is now a celebrity in front of Mrs. Meng, and she is generous on weekdays, and the porter greeted her happily when she saw her and sent her to the inner courtyard.
Soon saw the old lady, Bai Ruozhu showed the small amount of the finished to Mrs. Meng, and Mrs. Meng couldn't help but nodded, "It's really the same as the picture drawn." ”
The old lady touched her hand lightly, and asked a little worriedly: "If the screen is left for a long time, will it fall down and deform?"
Bai Ruozhu thought that there was really such a possibility, she couldn't help frowning, and said, "Old lady, I have to think about improving it again, and I'll take the second version for you to see in a few days." ”
The old lady smiled and said, "You kid is serious, and I will rest assured that the matter will be handed over to you." ”
Then Bai Ruozhu showed the old lady the tooth again, her pulp was almost raised, and the tooth hole could be filled. Bai Ruozhu summed it up in her heart, and in a few days, she got the materials that the Du family was looking for, and she could fill the old lady's teeth.
After saying goodbye to the old lady, Bai Ruozhu went to Xie Mansion again. Yu Hongsleeve came to see her once after she was injured before, and she didn't come back after that, she was a little worried about whether there was something wrong with Yu Hongsleeve.
When he arrived at Xie's Mansion, Mr. Xie was not at home, and before Yu Hongsleeve came out, he saw a middle-aged woman with a square face walking out, although she greeted Bai Ruozhu with a smile, her eyes kept looking Bai Ruozhu up and down.
"I don't know what this girl is called?" asked the square-faced woman.
Bai Ruozhu didn't like this woman's attitude, it was already very rude to look at the guests like this, shouldn't she introduce herself first, and then ask the guests?
Bai Ruozhu guessed that this person was a relative of the Xie family, so he still gave her some face, blessed her body and said, "Little woman Bai Ruozhu, I don't know what to call this aunt?"
I don't know what's going on, as soon as I heard Bai Ruozhu report her name, the square-faced woman's face, which was still smiling, instantly sank, and the gaze that looked at Bai Ruozhu changed from looking at it to naked disgust.
"Hmph, it turns out that you are that Bai Ruozhu. The square-faced woman's tone was very strange, and Bai Ruozhu was a little confused.
At this time, Yu Hongsleeve's voice came from the house: "Ruyi, go outside to see, is Ruozhu here?"
Bai Ruozhu was startled when he heard Yu Hongsleeve's voice, because the voice was a little hoarse, and it sounded very tired, as if he had just been seriously ill.
She didn't have the heart to pay attention to this square-faced woman, and when she saw the red-sleeved maid Ruyi coming out, she hurriedly greeted her and asked, "Ruyi, what's wrong with Sister Red-sleeved?"
Ruyi's eyes glanced at the square-faced woman, and she opened her mouth, looking like she wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it.
Bai Ruozhu guessed a rough idea, and it was not easy to be embarrassed, "Let's go and see Sister Red Sleeves." ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as she raised her foot, the square-faced woman suddenly rushed over, stopped her and said, "Who allowed you to enter? You quack doctor who bewitches the public, I can't watch Red Sleeves being deceived by you anymore!"
The clay figure still has a temper, Bai Ruozhu stared at her and asked coldly, "Who are you?"
The square-faced woman said a little proudly: "I am Xie Dun's aunt, his father and mother went early, I don't care about him with his uncle, who cares about him? We are equal to his father and mother, do you think I am qualified to take care of the affairs of the Xie family?"
Bai Ruozhu's mind turned quickly, she remembered that Yu Hongsleeve had mentioned the situation of the Xie family before, and said that she had been married to Mr. Xie for two years and had not come out, and the elders over there began to jump, some let Mr. Xie take a concubine, and some let Mr. Xie pass the children of the stepfamily, but now that Yu Hongsleeve has a body, don't they give up?
