Chapter 359 Preparation
Lingyu understood what the road was as soon as she heard it, and immediately nodded happily, "I know, then I'll go get two sets of clothes out for ironing, and then choose one for you, the color is light and elegant, it's slightly better, right?"
"Yes, that's smart, go ahead!" Qiao Lan smiled. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since Lingyu learned painting and color matching, she has become more and more adept at dressing up, especially for Qiaolan's temperament, she is very experienced in dressing up, and she is not happy if she doesn't toss, her eyes are clicking.
"Miss, do you dislike me anymore, don't want me anymore. Similar words made Qiaolan lose her temper, and she had to wear something on her head to feel happy and satisfied.
After a while, Lingyu came out with two sets of skirts, the day was already very hot, and it was almost summer, she picked out a satin gown embroidered with plum orchid bamboo dark patterns in lake color, with a pleated skirt of the same color, which was lively but very elegant and dignified.
The other set is a high-waisted skirt in blue and blue color, with a white light gauze shawl, and the skirt is embroidered with colorful butterflies and twig patterns, which is simple and simple.
"Well, this skirt looks good, it's refreshing, so let's leave it at that. Qiao Lan nodded slightly.
"I like this set too, Cheng, I'll get it. ”
Lingyu happily went to iron her clothes, Qiao Lan also smiled, thinking about what gift to bring to Huilan tomorrow, and after thinking for a long time, she decided to bring her own tea with a little high-quality goods.
In giving Huilan a wolf pen, the elder brother came back and brought her two wolf pencils, and the senior brother gave them to his brother, and he gave them to himself before he could use them up.
"Miss, I'm all ready, what's missing?"
"I'm thinking that Ming'er will bring some gifts over, take four taels of high-quality tea, and send a wolf pen to Huilan, I think there is something missing, these two things are still a bit simple, you help me think about what to take without being so cliché and can get it." Qiao Lan tilted her head and pondered.
After all, the county magistrate and his wife are from scholarly families, and if you can't send gold and silver, people will look down on you.
"Well, why don't you send flowers? The county magistrate should be an elegant person, and don't all the literati love to compose poems? That should be good. Let's send potted flowers, even if it's not the best, you can't go wrong. Lingyu looked at the courtyard and said as it gradually began to bloom.
Qiao Lan's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands and praised: "Yes, send flowers, why didn't I think of it, it's still you smart." Can I think of what flowers to send?"
"Send peony and peony? These are all famous flowers, you can't go wrong, don't we still have orchids dug from the mountains? and the camellia sent by the second brother last time is not also beautiful?" Lingyu counted a lot of precious flowers and plants at home with her fingers.
Uncle Xu is really a good hand at raising flowers, no matter how delicate the flowers are, they are not dead in his hands, they are very good, which is also the main reason why Qiaolan dares to spend money to buy precious varieties, there are experts in the family to live, so there is no need to be afraid.
"Then send the orchid, the orchid is seedling?" Qiao Lan asked.
"It's divided, it's good to raise, do you want to see it, my dad stares at it every day, no problem." Lingyu patted her chest and promised.
"That's it, pick a big pot and send it over. Qiao Lan smiled with a sigh of relief.
"Cheng, I'll go and ask my dad to prepare. Lingyu ran away.
Orchids are not bought but Xuewen dug them from the mountains, knowing that my sister likes to raise flowers and plants, as long as he knows, they will dig it back, and they don't dislike the trouble, and they also trust the descendants who have a good relationship in the village, who sees it to dig it back, and don't want to give money to others, even if a village knows that it can be sold for money, it is also good for their own village first, and it is better not to sell it, Xuewen's popularity in the village is still very good, and he has a lot of good friends, and he is willing to help him, and he doesn't want money, so Mother Li will send people some food and drink to express her gratitude.
It is said that this orchid is very precious, it is a white ink orchid, and the school found in the mountains was brought back, and Uncle Xu was happy at that time, and he was not allowed to touch it more, and it took a lot of effort to plant.
"My father said that he could get it a long time ago, so you can rest assured, and said that the seedlings are also growing well, so don't delay you to keep two pots for yourself. Lingyu said happily.
"Your father isn't angry, he has spent a lot of time on that pot of orchids. Qiao Lan stuck out her tongue.
"I wasn't angry, I wasn't reluctant, he said that raising flowers is for this time, since it is a literati who knows how to cherish it, it shouldn't be wrong. Lingyu smiled.
"That won't be ruined, the county lord is a literate person, and there is someone to take care of it. Qiaolan understands Uncle Xu's love for flowers, and she is afraid that others will spoil her flowers.
That's what I said, and my dad was happy. Lingyu stuck out her tongue.
"Go and see if Brother Huzi has come back?" Qiao Lan said with a smile.
"Well, I'll take a look. ”
Qiao Lan put on the gifts that will come to the door tomorrow, thinking that she can see Huilan tomorrow, and she is very much looking forward to it, and she hasn't seen them for a few days.
After a while, Chuanhu came back, "Is the maid of the adult's family here today?"
"Here, invite me to have tea and play with Huilan for a while. Qiaolan helped Chuanhu take homely clothes and change them down.
"Well, Ming'er asked Uncle Xu to send you there, just play, don't worry. What's in store for the gift?" asked the pager.
"I chose three things, one is our family's high-quality tea, one is the wolf pen is given to Hui Lan, and the other is the white ink orchid that my eldest brother picked back from the mountains. Qiao Lan told the truth, and also asked for his opinion, and if she didn't want to be brilliant, she couldn't hold her husband back.
"Well, the choice is good, no problem, just send these.Ming'er put on two pieces of jewelry and go out, you should also wear that jewelry, I bought so much and I don't see you wearing it, mainly because this place is small, and there are neighbors like the Ma family who also make you embarrassed." Chuanhu was a little unhappy in the end, he liked to let Qiaolan wear these, it seemed that this could show his heart, didn't he work hard to make money so that his wife and family could live well.
"Who's to say I didn't wear it, didn't I see the sky running around with a pearl hair ornament? My sister-in-law is just wearing silver jewelry, or my brother bought it after earning money, and I have so many that I can't finish wearing it. I'll put on the Nanzhu jewelry you customized for me tomorrow, and then choose the one on my head that I often wear, just right, otherwise it will be too deliberate. Qiao Lan said with a smile.
"Well, if you like it, I still think you look better with pearls, and when I have the opportunity in the future, I will go and get you some Nanzhu Dongzhu back, I think Nanzhu is better than Dongzhu." Chuanhu changed his clothes, washed his face, smiled and chatted with her.
"Of course Nanzhu is good, how expensive Nanzhu is, and the ladies in the palace are also competing for a reward from Nanzhu, I am already very proud of having a set. "Qiaolan still likes pearls very much, because the luster is not too dazzling, it is simple and generous and warm to wear, and it will not be expensive to take it to many occasions.
"Well, I'm not afraid that we will go to sea often, and it will not be difficult to get it at all. "Chuanhu didn't take it seriously, the opportunity is not suitable, otherwise I will get some for my daughter-in-law to come back and make jewelry. This pearl is not as good as gold, it can be blown up repeatedly, and it will be bad after a long time, and I can't complain that Lanzi is reluctant to change it often, probably because he is afraid of damage.
