Chapter 225: Appearance
"Is the water-patterned thousand bird feather skirt made for Sister Fang ready?" asked the eldest lady again.
Mother Cai said with a smile: "Madam, please rest assured, the Queen Mother's birthday slave is firmly remembered." As for the water-patterned thousand bird feather skirt, but the lady moved her own base to make it for Sister Fang'er, how could the slave and maid forget it? This dress is so precious, and the feathers on it alone are made of a thousand different birds. When the slave first heard the story of the Phantom Dress, I thought it was their nonsense, but when I rushed over to confirm it, there were really a thousand kinds of birds in the cage. ”
Speaking of this, Cai's mother couldn't help laughing: "It's the slave who doesn't believe in people, so she made a joke." ”
The eldest lady said lightly: "Phantom Ni Dress, you haven't heard the name of this clothing shop, it doesn't matter." After all, not many people have heard of it. But the tailor lady there is really good, and it was released from the palace, and she didn't want to attract too many people's attention, so not many people had heard of her. But whoever knows about her will surely ask her to tailor her clothes. The clothes she made, in the Jokhang country, if she said the second, no one would dare to call it the first. Because of this, if you can invite her, there is no considerable amount of silver that cannot impress her. ”
Cai's mother smiled and said, "Madame really paid for Sister Fang's sake." But please rest assured, Madame, I think Sister Fang is a sensible child, she must be well versed in Madame's thoughts, you see, this child has been working hard recently, just to earn enough face for you at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet!"
Cai's mother's words are very useful to Mrs. Cai, but. She was still a little worried: "Mother Cai, do you think that Sister Fang seems to have changed recently? Lately, how did I see her embroidering a purse with a needlework?"
You know, the embroidered purse is specially given to the lover, how can the eldest lady, who is a person who has come over, not know?
Cai's mother thought about it seriously, as if there was really such a thing, and her eyes rolled. Said: "Madam, this daughter's family is always playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It's weird, too. Embroidering a purse or something, you can also relieve boredom, right? According to the slave maid, although the current position of the crown princess has not really settled. But Sister Fang'er's thoughts. I'm afraid it's long gone in the Yuanning Marquis Mansion. ”
Cai's mother said it implicitly, but the eldest lady still heard it: "You mean, Sister Fang'er's purse is embroidered for the prince?"
Mother Cai said with a smile: "The eldest lady said something wrong, Sister Fang's embroidery, besides for the prince, who else can you give it to?"
The eldest lady finally laughed: "I didn't expect Sister Fang to finally open up, I used to teach her in a thousand ways." She refused to listen to it, and said that what she liked was atmospheric things such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I think the female red embroidery is too childish, and now it's not embroidered?"
"So, Fang'er really likes the crown prince?" the eldest lady asked uncertainly. Recently, the mother and son have been a little happy, and she didn't dare to ask about her daughter, so she could only learn about her daughter's situation from Cai's mother.
Of course, Mother Cai understood the eldest lady's thoughts, and persuaded with a smile: "Madam, you also know that Sister Fang'er's temperament is a little worse in terms of human sophistication, and her temperament is also a little difficult. In fact, she also knew in her heart that Madame was for her good, and thought about her everywhere, as the so-called overnight feud between mother and daughter, didn't Sister Fang follow the path that Madame you planned for her? Presumably she already understood Madame's painstaking intentions, but she couldn't pull it down and admit her mistakes to you. ”
Hearing Cai's mother say this, the eldest lady suddenly felt much better.
Cai's mother then said: "Some time ago, you were happy, you couldn't eat, and you didn't have any energy at all. There are a few shops inside and outside this courtyard, and it's not that Sister Fang has taken care of it for you. Therefore, this Sister Fang is not a person with exposed emotions, unlike the one in the second room, whether she does it or not, she has to go outside to make a big show. ”
The eldest lady sighed: "Sister Fang suffers from this, for this, I don't know how many times I have said her, she just didn't listen, and blocked me with words, saying that she didn't do these superficial things, and almost didn't make me angry." ”
Cai's mother smiled and said, "Sister Fang is such a high character. In fact, it's nothing, our sister Fang is the one who wants to be the queen, and she will be the queen in the future, these female red needlework or something, and don't let the embroidery girls in the palace do it? I heard that the current prince has an elegant temperament under the teaching of the Queen Mother, especially in terms of music and rhythm, and has a great ability to appreciate it. Speaking of which, our sister Fang is really right with the prince in this regard, and when the time comes, what else do you have to worry about, madam? In this regard, the slave maid bets that the one in the second room will not be able to catch up even if he rides eight horses!"
The eldest lady was amused by Cai's mother's words, and couldn't help but glance at her: "You, just say something unserious." ”
Mother Cai smiled hesitantly: "What the slave said is the truth, madam, you also know, what will happen to the second room, but it's just opportunistic, when you meet a generous family like the prince, you won't show your stuffing?"
The eldest lady's mood suddenly improved. Cai's mother is right, although her daughter is a little brainless, but those chess, chess, calligraphy and paintings are all practiced, which is far from being able to catch up with the halfway monk in the second room.
She stroked her belly, which was still flat and couldn't see anything, and the joy of being a mother suddenly welled up: "Hou Ye has been much better to me recently, I heard that I have a body, and I often shush the cold and ask for warmth, I feel as if I saw him many years ago." ”
Mother Cai kept nodding: "Yes, madam, Master Hou seems to have changed his temperament, he is very good to Mrs., even if there is a banquet outside, he will come back early, and he will not let Mrs. wait for a long time." And two days ago, Mrs. said what she wanted to eat, oh yes, sour jujube cake. Hou Ye actually remembered it clearly, and when he came back from the banquet, he didn't forget to bring two boxes back to his wife. I see, madam, you have a body this time, and the Hou Ye is more nervous than you. ”
"That's nature. The eldest lady smiled sweetly, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly turned her head to ask Cai's mother, "Am I still good-looking?" Do you have spots on your face? I heard that when a forty-year-old woman is pregnant with a child, her skin will become very rough and there will be spots...... "She hurriedly took the mirror and looked at it, "What if I really have spots, what if the Hou Ye doesn't like it?"
Mother Cai looked at the eldest lady, as if she saw the eldest lady who had just married into the Yuanning Marquis Mansion many years ago and had just had a body, and said with a smile: "Madame, don't you have to worry too much, didn't you have spots when you gave birth to Brother Chun and Sister Fang......?"
The eldest lady didn't seem to be at ease, so she took the mirror and looked at it again and again, and there was indeed nothing abnormal on her face, so she breathed a sigh of relief and put it back in the mirror.
Cai's mother couldn't help laughing. It seems that the woman who pleases herself is quite right. In the past, the Hou Ye was lukewarm to the eldest lady, and the eldest lady didn't pay too much attention to her appearance. Now that Hou Ye has suddenly become better to the eldest lady, even if the eldest lady has a body, she refuses to show her unbeautiful side to Hou Ye. (To be continued......)
