Chapter 31: Yingxia Pavilion
Mama Lin stood beside Chu Shuhuang, and then said: "Although there is no excitement to see, not only will there be many Yunying's unmarried daughters who will go to the street in the afternoon on this day, but some sons and brothers will also come out to have fun, and there will be some small objects on the street, such as sugar people, mud figures, river lanterns, as well as guessing lantern riddles, composing poems, and all kinds of juggling, but you can't play too late, and you have to come back after dark."

"Then let's go and see it tomorrow afternoon." Chu Shuhuang said with a twinkle in his eyes.
The maid retreated after finishing her work, and Mama Lin waved away the others, and said softly to Chu Shuhuang: "Now it is rumored in the streets and alleys that Su Zheng is cured, and he has also set a wedding date with the Marquis of Jingyuan, and he will marry Xu Shikang in two months." ”
This news surprised Chu Shuhuang very much, Mrs. Jingyuan Hou at the Baiguo Banquet had a naked disgust with the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, and in such a situation, she still married her daughter? Although Su Zheng has a bad reputation, it is still easy to find someone with a poor family background and live a rich ordinary life.
But on the other hand, it also shows the perseverance of the Marquis of Weiyuan, and Su Zheng's temperament is even more indomitable, which is difficult for the world to reach.
Chu Shuhuang asked, "What is the reaction of the Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion?" ”
"The Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion didn't have an obvious reaction, but it just said that the Wanli was not well prepared for a while, and it would not be done until the wedding date in early September." Mama Lin replied.
Su Zheng is the sister of the Marquis of Weiyuan, Xu Shikang is the son of the Marquis of Jingyuan, the identity is there, their marriage must be in a grand manner, and it is still too hasty to prepare for the two-month ceremony and dowry, but for their special situation, it is a long time. If it weren't for the Su family's previous scheming, not to mention the Holy Decree, Yi Zhi would definitely be able to be invited, and now no one will mention this situation.
The next day, Chu Shuhuang slept until near noon as usual, and after freshening up and eating, he went to the study to practice the big characters for an hour, used refreshments, melons and fruits, and bathed and freshened up again, the difference was that this time he changed into men's clothes.
Silver-blue dark pattern cloud brocade shirt, covered with the same color pliers gold silk moire gauze, silver and white powder blue embroidered gold belt, Qingliu with a sachet and jade pendant around Chu Shuhuang's waist, and his hair was tied up with a gorgeous head rope with blue gold thread. This men's shirt was also sent by Hua Chang last time, Chu Shuhuang thanked him silently in his heart, and took people out of the house.
The midday heat had just faded, and the streets were already dressed up, but the people had not yet come out. The carriage drove towards the shop, and since the last time he came to see it, Chu Shuhuang came over for the second time.
The upward street is not as prosperous as Suzaku Street, but it is also a pedestrian shuttle, bustling. Chu Shuhuang looked at his shop from a distance, with a row of oily two-story floors facing the street and a two-zhang wide door, which was very magnificent. People don't want to go out on this hot day, but people come and go very lively, and it seems that business is good.
Just looking at the plaque on the gate, Chu Shuhuang frowned slightly.
The carriage did not stop at the main gate, but went around to the alley at the back, and entered the courtyard from the back door until the shade, and Chu Shuhuang got out of the car. The people in the shop are busy working in the front yard, and in the backyard except for the guards, the two brothers Yuan Cheng and Yuan Guang arranged by Yun Ruo.
After a while, Shopkeeper Zhao got the news and came to the backyard to report the situation of the store, Chu Shuhuang interrupted Shopkeeper Zhao's words and asked directly: "What's the matter with the plaque?" ”
Shopkeeper Zhao looked at Chu Shuhuang suspiciously, and said, "This was sent by the Anguo Mansion." ”
It's him, there is no second choice but him!
Yingxia Pavilion, well, the name is okay. Although she doesn't like names, she ...... Forget it, let him go, he will save trouble, Chu Shuhuang comforted himself and sorted out his emotions.
In the past few days, although Shopkeeper Zhao didn't know the identity of Yu Xiuniang and others, he also had a rough guess about the behavior of several people, and he treated Chu Shuhuang more respectfully.
"You've already started making autumn coats now?" Chu Shuhuang returned to the topic and asked.
"Yes, autumn clothing has been put on the market in large quantities, and our ready-to-wear garments are finely sewn, which is more time-consuming and laborious to make, so we must prepare early."
Chu Shuhuang nodded, "You just need to deal with these things, how to do it, how to do it, just do it well." ”
Shopkeeper Zhao was afraid that Chu Shuhuang would not understand, and thought that it would take him a long time to speak, but he didn't expect Chu Shuhuang to be so neat, so he completely let go.
Shopkeeper Zhao slowed down and said, "Don't worry, Zhao will do his best." ”
After Shopkeeper Zhao retreated, Chu Shuhuang took the people to the side room. Some days ago, Yingxia Pavilion because of the delicate embroidery, elegant style, has entered the sight of the nobles of the capital, now in the continued improvement of quality at the same time is also raising the price, although the quantity is small but a piece of boutique.
The room was surrounded by fabrics, and there were some semi-finished products piled up on the desk, and a few apprentices crawled on the case, carefully straightening out the fabrics and then making their own buddies. Those apprentices didn't know Chu Shuhuang's identity, and after bowing to Chu Shuhuang, they got busy again.
In the middle room, Yu Xiuniang is responsible for the standard and cutting of clothes in the east, and the two exquisite palace maids are in charge of the intricate embroidery and the control of the best finished products in the west.
Seeing Chu Shuhuang coming in, he immediately got up and saluted: "I've seen Gongzi." ”
"Get up." Chu Shuhuang sat on the chair brought by Qinghe, "Mama Huang gave you to me, which means that you are all good, and I will protect my people, if you have any difficulties in your family, you can find Mama Lin to find a way, and you will definitely let everyone live a good life." ”
Yu Xiuniang said: "We remember the great kindness of the son, the son can rest assured, we will do our best to do the errand." ”
"Well, that's good. How about Miss Jiang's paintings? Chu Shuhuang asked.
"Miss Jiang's paintings, whether they are in color matching or clothing styles, are refreshing, and they are not tasteful, and they are mostly suitable for young girls to wear. The several sets of summer clothes I made were all sold very well, and when Miss Jiang gave me the autumn clothes, I would make some autumn clothes. ”
"Although Miss Jiang is talented, after all, she is a layman, so you should check more."
Chu Shuhuang returned to the second floor to rest, and after a while, Qing Heyu went to Jiang Li to ask to see him outside.
I haven't seen Jiang Li for many days, Chu Shuhuang's eyes lit up, Jiang Li was dressed in a gray ordinary men's gown, with a pretty face, bright eyes, and a slender and straight posture.
"I've seen Childe." Jiang Li arched his hand below.
"Shibei three days, when you look at it, Jiang Gongzi is really eye-catching!" Chu Shuhuang quipped.
Jiang Li's face was a little shy, "Childe praised it falsely, it's just for the convenience of going out......"
Chu Shuhuang interrupted Jiang Li's words, "It's easy to go out, you look like a handsome kid, aren't you afraid of being robbed?" ”
Jiang Li was stunned by Chu Shuhuang's words, and raised his eyes to see the chuckle on the corner of Chu Shuhuang's mouth, "Childe is used to making fun of people, and I still admire Childe's noble conduct in my heart." ”
