Xi Yunzhi came out of the room, holding the needlework blue, and planned to take the newly embroidered flowers to her cousin and aunt to see, but saw Liu's mother scolding and walking out of their room.

Seeing Xi Yunzhi, he hurriedly reined in and stood aside respectfully, Xi Yunzhi saw her angry face, and couldn't help asking:

"Mother Liu, what's wrong?"

Although Mother Liu has not been here for a long time, she also knows that the housewife of this family is a good person, not to mention her good temper, but also very reasonable, thinking that she just sued her, she will not blame her, so she said:

"The villain kindly went to collect the clothes of these ladies and ladies to wash, but as soon as the villain's hand touched Mrs. Lan's new clothes, she scolded her."

Xi Yunzhi couldn't help but ask, "Mrs. Lan's new clothes?" ”

Didn't Aunt Lan say that the money on her body had already been spent? Where did she get the money to buy new clothes? When I was wondering, I heard Liu's mother say again:

"Yes, I heard that I borrowed some from my cousin a few days ago, and bought it back after giving her a hairpin that she didn't wear much. But even if it's expensive, isn't it just a piece of clothing, I just touched it, and I didn't want to wear it, is she so buried? ”

“……”

Xi Yunzhi listened to Liu's mother's words, and roughly understood the whole story, and after a few words of comfort, she asked Liu's mother to go back to work, and she still took the embroidery to their room.

Because Aunt Lan was angry, Xi Yunzhi deliberately bypassed her, and asked the arrogant Cousin Qian for advice on embroidery needlework, and the things she embroidered were disgusted by Cousin Qian without any suspense, and Xi Yunzhi was not angry, but the questions she asked were more diligent, Cousin Qian's face was full of impatience, but it was not easy to reject her clearly, so she could only show impatience in her tone, so that Xi Yunzhi could leave by herself.

Xi Yunzhi smiled the whole time, her temper was as good as a wood, after she left, Cousin Qian said a lot of bad things about Xi Yunzhi there, what was too stupid, too annoying, and she didn't want to deal with her at all.

Because of her high profile, she was heard by Xi Yunzhi's two maids, Ruyi and Ruyue, and came to inform her, but Xi Yunzhi also smiled and ignored it.

The next day, she asked the maid to invite Cousin Qian to her room for further teaching, and Cousin Qian entered the room with a disdainful and angry face, but came out with a proud and smug look.

Because Xi Yunzhi said that she was grateful for Cousin Qian's careful teaching these days, she gave her a fine lake blue silk satin, saying that it was about to enter summer, and this satin was enough for her to make two new clothes.

After Cousin Qian took the satin back to the room, she deliberately showed off, saying that her cousin-in-law had been completely subdued by her personality charm, no, she hurried to slap her.

The women were not angry, but they coveted the silk satin sent by Xi Yunzhi.

Another day passed, Xi Yunzhi didn't understand the needle, so he sent someone to the room to call Miss Biao to come over to teach, unfortunately, Miss Biao went to the street to cut new clothes, not in the room, the girl had to call another Miss Ning, who can embroider, to Xi Yunzhi.

Miss Ning entered with an expectant look and came out with a happy expression. Because after Xi Yunzhi asked her how to embroider, before she left, she gave her a slender plum blossom golden hairpin.

This time, Miss Ning took the golden hairpin back to the room, everyone looked at each other in surprise, the last time she gave Miss Qian a silk satin, not to mention a tael of silver, this time Sister Ning took back the golden hairpin, the workmanship is fine, how can you have to face up, their nephew (brother-in-law) shot is too generous.

Miss Qian came back from making clothes, saw the golden hairpin in Sister Ning'er's hand, asked the origin, and couldn't help but be annoyed on the spot, pointing at Sister Ning, saying that she was not authentic, how could she rob what originally belonged to her. Sister Ning was even more annoyed when she heard this, she was not a vegetarian, when she went back and said that it was given to her by her brother-in-law, how did it become something that belongs to you?

The two had a lot of trouble and didn't speak for many days.

Everyone is looking forward to it, hoping that Xi Yunzhi will be able to call them to teach again, of course, those who can embroider can come up and say a few words, see if they can also ask for a lottery, and those who can't embroider also have a way, they can tout two sentences, and if their brother and daughter-in-law are happy, they can also give them something small.

It's just that after waiting for half a month, all the clothes that Miss Qian made on the street were brought back, and they didn't wait for Xi Yunzhi to come to ask for advice again, they could only be secretly jealous in their hearts, and they watched Miss Qian walk around in that lake-blue silk satin skirt, and the limelight was out.

Just when everyone was about to lose the smugness of Miss Qian, news finally came from the master bedroom - Xi Yunzhi personally invited them and wanted to take them to the streets of Luoyang City.

This news spread happily among the women like Ganlin, because they all decided in their hearts that Xi Yunzhi's move, since they invited them out, they would definitely not let them go home empty-handed.

No, before they even went out, they had already begun to think about what they wanted when the time came.

Xi Yunzhi hired three carriages to carry nine women and two maids to the city.

She took them to Xiangluo Street, there were rouge shops, ready-to-wear shops, jewelry shops, etc., as soon as they entered the street, there was a fragrant breeze blowing in their faces, and the women followed Xi Yunzhi with chirping, pointing to the east and west, noisy like a flock of sparrows released from the cage.

Xi Yunzhi walked into a jewelry store, the women looked at each other, their hearts were secretly happy, their eyes began to scan the store like hooks, Xi Yunzhi picked a pair of pearl earrings, the pearl is round and huge, placed on the black bottom flannel, even more brilliant, at a glance, you can see that it is not ordinary.

The shopkeeper brought Xi Yunzhi a bronze mirror, and a maid from the store came to put it on for Xi Yunzhi, and her temperament became luxurious, Xi Yunzhi was also very satisfied with it, so she asked:

"This pearl is really good, how much does it cost?"

The shopkeeper gestured to Xi Yunzhi: "Madame's vision is really good, this is the Yunhaizhu that the Persian merchant just sold, there are few goods on the market, if Madame really wants to buy it, the trumpet is also willing to be an adult, no two prices, eight taels of silver." ”

Xi Yunzhi didn't speak, the two girls praised them again and again, Xi Yunzhi glanced at them, then got up with a smile, and looked at other things in the store, in addition to pearl earrings, she also tried on a pair of jade bracelets, an agate bracelet, and then took two delicate and cute little rings.

The shopkeeper didn't know what she wanted to buy, so she followed behind and waited, and after Xi Yunzhi picked several things in a row, he said to the shopkeeper:

"How much is it in total?"

The shopkeeper originally thought that she would only buy a pair of pearl earrings at most, but she didn't expect to buy as much as she tried it, and when she regarded Xi Yunzhi as the number one financier, she crackled diligently, and finally quoted to Xi Yunzhi:

"Madam, do you want all these things for twenty-one or twenty-eight dollars? I'll wrap it up for you, okay? ”

Xi Yunzhi smiled and took out two ingots of silver from his purse, put them on the counter, and said, "Twenty taels, wrap them all." ”

The shopkeeper saw the bright silver, and a hanging heart finally fell, and he didn't make a move, so he beckoned someone from the inner hall to pack it.

A group of women all laughed secretly in their hearts, it seemed that this time it was the right time, so they walked around the shop, and asked the guys in the shop one by one, as if they were going to buy them all.

Xi Yunzhi beckoned to the two little girls Ruyi Ruyue, took out the two small rings he bought before, and handed them to them: "You work weekdays, and I have nothing to give as a housewife, don't dislike this little thing." ”

The two girls are girls from poor families, and they usually only dare to find a craftsman to cut a few wooden hairpins to wear, these gold and silver things are never daring to think, but I didn't expect that when I came to the master's house for a short time, the master mother gave them a ring, it was really an unexpected joy, and immediately knelt on the ground to kowtow to Xi Yunzhi, and then happily put it on.

Seeing this, Aunt Lan couldn't hold back any longer, and was about to go to Xi Yunzhi to say something good, and then put forward her love for the jade hairpin she just fancied, I believe that with her identity as an elder and her nephew's personality, she will definitely buy it and give it to her without hesitation.

But as soon as he walked to Xi Yunzhi's side, Xi Yunzhi stood up, turned his head and said to everyone:

"I've bought my things, it's not as good as the capital, and I don't think there's anything that suits my aunts, aunts, aunts, and cousins, so I'm just going out to relieve my boredom, so let's go and see the silk again."

“……”

After Xi Yunzhi finished speaking, he took the lead and walked out of the jewelry shop, leaving a group of women You look at me and I look at you, and then they were annoyed one by one.

Really, it's all because they boasted too much at the beginning, what is the difference between the jewelry shops in Beijing and the jewelry shops in Luoyang? They don't mind if they buy the jewelry from Luoyang or from the capital.

Accompanied Xi Yunzhi for a day, Xi Yunzhi bought a lot of things, food and clothing, she didn't fall behind, she bought all the things as gifts, but she didn't mention them to buy them, Aunt Lan was angry in the end, so she simply took off a phoenix hairpin on her head and bought two boxes of rouge, even so, Xi Yunzhi didn't seem to see it, and let her change it.

The nine women were very depressed, but it was a fact that they were shy in their pockets, and they really couldn't put down their faces to ask Xi Yunzhi for it, because there was a precedent for Miss Qian and Sister Ning'er there, and Xi Yunzhi was in a hurry to give them things, but if they asked for it now, wouldn't it mean that they didn't have the ability of Miss Qian and Sister Ning?

Although they ran away together, no one wanted to be a head shorter, and they took the initiative to ask for this kind of tasteless thing, they couldn't do it, the most hateful thing was that Xi Yunzhi, how could they not please them like pleasing Qian Girl and Sister Ning, one by one they took a sulk and returned home.
