049 Knocking out grandmother
promised that today's underskirt was made by Chuntang overnight, and his eyes were red.
The short lotus shirt is embroidered with small white pear blossoms, and blue butterflies are embroidered in a few places, which is very vivid, as if it were real. The willow-green six Luo skirts are embroidered with slender willow branches, and they are like a breeze supporting the willows when they walk.
The humble clothes become elegant and natural because of Chuntang's ingenious thoughts and exquisite embroidery.
Zhang's dislike the promise to dress brightly more than once, and let her change into a plain skirt more than once, and promised to change them one by one, but today, she won't change!
"Grandmother, grandson's skirt is not bright. Promise stood up and bowed, his voice low but his back straight.
Lu Shi also stood up, and his thin lips lightly opened: "Mother, Liuniang's clothes are suitable for the occasion, and the daughter-in-law thinks that there is no need to change them." ”
Zhang turned his head sideways, ignoring the two, and his ring-covered fingers caressed the lines on the tea cup.
The banquet was very embarrassing, there was silence, and Zhong came out to play a round: "It's not early today, if Liuniang goes to change clothes, I'm afraid she won't be able to catch up." ”
Xu Yu still maintained the posture of saluting, and for more than a month, she looked at Zhang's face a lot, and asked herself if there was anything wrong with the etiquette, but Zhang always looked at her unpleasantly. In addition to Zhang's own prejudice against her, there must also be Xu Qian's credit.
Zhang snorted, turned his head back, and swept his gaze over everyone in the room: "It's too late, it's too late, if you don't go, if she still does the same as last year, she will lose the face of Xu Fu." "The Xu family to participate in the Wang family's flower appreciation banquet has always been a mighty many people go together, because the Wang family is also a tea merchant, and the Xu family is about the same size, over the years Qingming tea has always been the first in the Xu family, the second in the Wang family, Zhang only like to participate in the Wang family's flower appreciation banquet, in order to show off.
Old lady Xu coughed a few times in a row, and the maidservant behind him hurriedly brought water, and he took a sip before saying: "Mo Ti in the past, I see that Liuniang's clothes are good, and if I go to the Wang family, I will give our Xu family a face." Liuniang, get up. After saying that, he went out with his hands behind his back, and no longer paid attention to the affairs of the house.
"That's not necessarily, a maid's clothes, what kind of face can be faced, it's better to change. After not seeing the back of Old Lady Xu at all, Zhang spoke.
Xu Yu frowned imperceptibly, Zhang even knew the origin of this skirt, which shows how much she "cared" about herself.
She adjusted her breathing, hid the anger on her face, and when she raised her head, she already had a faint smile on her face: "What grandmother said is that the clothes made by the maid are on the table." ”
Zhang smiled, very satisfied with Xu Promise bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "Naturally, wearing clothes made of sluts is to lower your identity, you are a child of the Xu family, don't you understand these truths?"
"What my grandmother taught me was that my grandson remembered. Looking at the fourth sister's short undergarment is very exquisite, there is no such fancy in the undergarment made by the house on weekdays, I don't know which embroiderer embroidered it, and the grandson also wants one. Xu nodded and agreed with Zhang's statement, and then filled in a sentence without a smile.
Xu Qian clenched her teeth when she heard this, looked at the promise, and promised to respond with a chuckle.
Everyone in the house focused on Xu Qian, the pale pink short shirt was embroidered with a hundred flowers, each one seemed to be real, such a good embroidery, anyone knew that it was from Aunt Du's hand.
Although Aunt Du is not a maidservant, her status is not higher than that of a maidservant.
Her mother's family is a wealthy man in Suzhou, but she is just an ordinary concubine in the eyes of the Zhang family, and she is also a slut in the Zhang family.
Zhang realized that he was promised to go in, and his face suddenly darkened, but he couldn't pull his face, and said indignantly: "Are you saying that Siniang's clothes are made by Aunt Du? Although Aunt Du is also a subordinate, she has learned embroidery since she was a child, and now the top embroidery girl in Suzhou is only at the same level as her." ”
Xu Promise still greeted him with a smile, and he couldn't see the slightest anger: "What Grandmother said is that as long as the embroidery is good, the clothes made by my aunt will not be untouchable, and the same is true for the maidservant." ”
The words of the promise seemed to be deferential, but Zhang felt extremely harsh, and the hand on the table was clenched up at some point, Xu Qian on the side hung her head, her shoulders trembled slightly, and she was even more distressed when she saw it.
She really wanted to stop Xu from participating in the flower banquet, but if she used the bright skirt and embroidery of her subordinates as an excuse, Xu Qian also had to stay, because her standard for running a family was to treat everyone equally. How could her favorite granddaughter not be able to go to the flower banquet for an uneducated Liuniang who grew up outside, her heart flashed, and Zhang slowly spoke: "You come closer, I'll look at your clothes." ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and understood that this was Zhang's promise to go down the stairs.
Xu Nuo's face did not change, and when he walked over, Zhang frowned and looked at it for a long time, nodded and said: "Just now, I just saw that the color of this skirt was too bright from a distance, but now when I look closer, I find that it is very exquisite." This maid's embroidery skills are indeed good, and in a few years she will be able to compare with Aunt Du and be rewarded. The implication is that there is no need to change clothes, and this one is qualified.
The Xu family knows that Zhang's eyes are clear, and he can embroider some personal objects when he is over half a hundred years old, but now he can't even see the style of the skirt clearly, which is really ridiculous.
Xu Yu couldn't get used to seeing Zhang's pretending, and deliberately asked: "Does my grandson still need to change his clothes?"
In such a scene, he promised not to go down the steps given by Zhang's and not give her face?
You must know that what the Zhang family cares about most is face, otherwise he wouldn't have appreciated Chuntang just now.
Whether it was the Ding family, the Lu family or Xu Qian, they were all shocked by this sentence, if the Zhang family was not happy, they could let her stay in the mansion in the name of promising to contradict the elders.
"Let me say one word, you can top ten sentences, where did you learn the rules!Lu Shi, do you teach her like this on weekdays?" Zhang slammed on the table, took a deep breath and said: "I went to Wang's house today, give me a good look at her, so as not to lose people!" The hour is not early, let's go." The Zhang family was really angry about the promise, but if she punished the promise, Xu Qian would also suffer, so it was indeed a helpless move.
Lu Shi was frightened by the promise words, and hurriedly grabbed the promise when Zhang lost his temper and did not allow her to speak.
Xu Xu secretly regretted that Twenty-one Niang and Hu Ling were not there, otherwise they would both laugh and praise her for doing a good job. She was not angry with the Zhang family for no reason, because she remembered her grandfather's words before leaving, and she also remembered that the Zhang family liked to talk about the so-called justice when dealing with things, so she concluded that even if the Zhang family was angry today, it would not stop her from going to the Wang family.
