Chapter 152: Silk Flower
finally left his son in his house, and Yan was very careful. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Both husband and wife are young and in good health, and Tu Ruizhang has been disease-free since he was a child.
But for the Lin family, Tu Ruizhang is the only grandson, how can he be like other naughty boys? He often interfered with Tu Ruizhang's upbringing, supervised the Yan family to detain him very tightly, enlightened early, and now has more and more homework assigned.
Yan felt sorry for his son, and when he relaxed a little, Lin personally disciplined him. Seeing that his son's temperament is going on day by day, and he has lost his former spirituality in reading and learning calligraphy, Yan is anxious in his eyes.
finally had a playmate of the same age, and saw a long-lost smile on Tu Ruizhang's face, and Yan was naturally willing to take him to "Qingzhuyuan" more.
The two children were playing, and when they had nothing to do, Yan asked Xu Wenyu's nurse Liu's mother. After learning that Mrs. Xu had passed away, Xu Wenyu was depressed for a long time, and it was Xu Wanzhen who brought him back to liveliness. So I was anxious to know what Xu Wan really did.
Looking at Yan's eager expression, with a strong maternal love in her eyes, Xu Wanzhen couldn't help but have a sour nose.
She has never received a mother's love in her two lives. In modern times, she has an indifferent relationship with her parents, and the first day she came here was when A-Niang died. Those gentle cares only exist in her memory, and they can never be recovered.
Xu Wanzhen lowered her head, quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then raised her face and smiled: "Wanzhen didn't do much, since my little cousin wants to know, I will talk about it in detail, don't think I'm annoying." ”
Yan's heart was for his son, and he didn't notice her strange appearance, and when he heard the words, he hurriedly said: "Don't dislike it, cousin niece, you say it slowly." ”
Under the grape trellis, two women with different styles narrate and listen carefully; not far away, two children with drooping sideburns laugh and play, and the maid nurse stands quietly. The breeze came slowly, bringing the sound of reading aloud from the academy, a leisurely late spring afternoon.
The next day, Xu Wanzhen came to Princess Zhaoyang's mansion again, and still got off the carriage outside the second gate.
The princess had already instructed, and as soon as she got out of the car, she saw Chunying greet her with a smile and said, "Miss Xu, the princess is waiting for you early in the morning." ”
Xu Wanzhen smiled lightly and said, "Princess Lao has been waiting for a long time, is it a people's daughter, and I also ask Miss Chunying to lead the way." ”
Chunying led the way, and Xu Wanzhen followed behind with Sang Zi, all the way forward. I saw that the scenery along the road was familiar, and I thought it was going to the peony garden where I went last time.
When I entered the peony garden, I saw that in just a few days, the sick peonies had been removed, the soil had been turned over again, and the soil was sprinkled with plant ash to sterilize.
Princess Zhaoyang was really in the pavilion of the Peony Garden, and when she saw Xu Wanzhen coming, she smiled and said, "I'll see what kind of surprise Wanzhen brings today." ”
Xu Wanzhen gave a salute and gently opened the brocade box held by Sang Zi in his hand. I saw three peony silk flowers, namely Xiangyu, Erqiao, and Yulouchun, three varieties, lying quietly on the velvet, blooming with the unique grace and luxury of peony.
Princess Zhaoyang was attracted by this lifelike silk flower, and she was overjoyed to see it, and she took a jade building to spring.
I saw that the flower color was as white as snow and jade, the flower type was stacked layer by layer like a crown, and there was a light purple halo in the depths of the petals.
In an instant, Princess Zhaoyang looked at Xu Wanzhen with wide eyes, and said in surprise: "It's so fragrant!
"Back to the princess's words, to put it bluntly, it's not worth mentioning, the folk girl just fumigated these silk flowers with peony flowers. ”
"What a delicate mind!" Princess Zhaoyang praised: "Everything is ordinary, but you can turn the ordinary into magic, it's really good!"
Xu Wanzhen saluted and said: "The folk girl doesn't dare to be a princess. ”
Princess Zhaoyang smiled heartily and said, "In my place, Wanzhen doesn't have to be so restrained. The silk flower will be left to you. ”
Bai Shao, who was beside her, stepped forward and saluted Xu Wanzhen: "The maid has made a preliminary estimate, and it will take more than five hundred silk flowers to complete the arrangement of the peony garden. Now that there is only half a month left before the eighth day of the fifth month, I wonder if Miss Xu will be in time?"
In such a short period of time, this is quite a huge amount. Xu Wanzhen was not in a hurry to respond immediately, and calculated silently in her heart.
You must know that there is no industrial production at this time, and such realistic silk flowers are carefully made thanks to the embroidery girl. At present, it takes more than two hours to make one, and it can improve efficiency after familiarization, but it will take at least one and a half hours to complete.
Right now, in the green bamboo garden, there are eight embroidery girls. If you go all out to catch up with the work, at the end of the day, each person can make up to five or six flowers, and no matter how much, the quality cannot be guaranteed. In this way, you can get more than 40 flowers a day, and more than 600 in half a month.
In this way, it should be enough for the princess's mansion. But people are not machines, half a month of high-intensity rush work, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes, if there is an embroidery girl sick, it will be too late in time. In this way, it should be just possible, but I am afraid that something will go wrong halfway.
There are still not enough people, if it is in the heyday of the Xu family, where is there more than a few embroidery girls in this area? Not to mention five hundred silk flowers, it is five thousand, and it is not a problem. Xu Wanzhen sighed secretly in her heart. However, this is not the time to think about this, and the problem is solved.
Xu Wanzhen nodded and said, "The folk girl has roughly calculated, please rest assured that there will be no problem, princess." ”
Princess Zhaoyang said with a smile: "In this case, this matter will be entrusted to Wanzhen." He turned his head and instructed Bai Shao, "You and Wanzhen calculate how much it will cost?"
Xu Wanzhen was busy and said: "The bounty given by the princess is more than enough, these silk flowers do not cost anything, and it is an honor for the people to contribute to the peony flower club." ”
She was going to start with Princess Zhaoyang and inquire about her father and brother's case, and it was a good thing to get this opportunity to do things for the princess's mansion, where could she calculate the silver taels according to the supply to the princess? The princess's reward naturally cannot be shirked, but this money must not be accepted.
Princess Zhaoyang knew the situation in her family, Xu Wanzhen was the person she wanted to collect, and now she was using the silk flower to check her character. If she insists on paying the money, it will make her uneasy, and she will no longer insist at the moment, Xu Wan is really a favor, and she can still bear it.
Leaving the princess's mansion, Xu Wanzhen pondered all the way, increasing manpower is a top priority. If this problem is not solved, there will be no accidents in betting, and the risk is too great, which is not her style.
Because she was thinking about something, she didn't notice that when she got into the carriage outside the second gate, King Qi happened to enter from the front yard. Seeing her figure, his expression was slightly stunned, and he raised his eyebrows.
King Qi and Princess Zhaoyang are brothers and sisters with a very good relationship, and this princess mansion was built by him, and he didn't wait for the subordinates to pass through, so he went inside.
As soon as he walked a few steps, he saw Bai Shao's back after sending Xu Wanzhen, and King Qi smiled and said, "Where is Bai Shao going?"
