Chapter Ninety-Four: Borrowing the Jade Plaque
Both sides stopped, and the mother smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, Lingxuan, do you also come to order clothes?" ”
The Zhu family didn't want to pay attention to them, but when they saw Wang Xiugu, the shopkeeper of Wucaifang, personally sending the two out, they felt strange.
She is a frequent visitor to this colorful workshop, and she spends a lot of silver here every year, but she has never seen Wang Xiugu greet and send her off in person.
Zhu glanced at Linglong's mother and daughter: "Where have you two gone in the sky these days?" I didn't say a word when I left the house, but I deliberately sent someone out to inquire, really, how old a person is, and I don't know the severity of it. ”
Song smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I suddenly got the news of my second brother a few days ago, and I hurried away when I was happy, I told a few mothers-in-law in the courtyard, didn't they report to my sister-in-law?" ”
Zhu squinted disdainfully: "Just your mother-in-law, it's okay, go back early, don't wander around;." ”
Then she turned to Wang Xiugu with a smile: "Shopkeeper Wang, let's take the skirt that was ordered half a month ago, okay?" ”
"I don't know, you ask the embroidery lady who received you." Wang Xiugu replied with a smile, but her words were a little more alienated, and she felt completely different from before.
Zhu's mother and daughter were obviously very unhappy, Lingxuan glanced at Linglong, "You only came to order clothes now?" Half a month later, the daylily is cold! ”
Wang Xiugu said: "No, Miss Linglong is a senior VIP of our Wucai Building, I will personally make her dress, and she will come out tomorrow afternoon at most, by the way, Miss Linglong, it is better for you to leave the address, I will send someone to you when I am ready." lest you come back for another trip. ”
"What's so embarrassing about that? Then trouble Aunt Wang! Linglong followed Wang Xiugu to the counter to leave an address, but Zhu's mother and daughter were left aside, Su Lingxuan gritted her teeth in anger:
"Mother, what does the king's shopkeeper mean? She's a VIP, aren't we VIPs? Our family spends so much money here every year, and we haven't seen her make a dress for us in person? ”
Zhu saw that many people around her were looking at this side, and most of the people who came here were rich and noble families, and she smiled slightly at the people around her. Pull Lingxuan and walk quickly inside.
Linglong kept an eye on the mother and daughter. Seeing that they walked away, Wang Xiugu glanced over there: "Miss Linglong, ...... those two with you?" ”
"That's my aunt and cousin. Aunt Wang. Please ask you one thing, if they ask us about it later, I hope Aunt Wang can help...... That one. ”
Wang Xiugu looked at her thoughtfully, and after a while, she smiled clearly: "Okay." Miss rest assured. ”
Coming out of the colorful fang, they went straight back to Su Mansion.
As Linglong expected. Not long after they came back, Aunt Zhu came, she entered the door without saying a word, and walked straight to the main seat above with a cold face, and her mother sat with a smiling face for a while and never saw her speak. Strange in my heart:
"Sister-in-law, you ...... Is there something wrong? ”
"Can't you come if you're fine? Don't forget, this is the boundary of my Sioux province! ”
Mother choked. sneered: "That's not what I meant, sister-in-law, please feel free." ”
Zhu secretly looked at Linglong's mother and daughter. Since the last time Liang Mansion ordered that Linglong, Liang Mansion has sent a lot of good things over one after another, which made me greedy, and I wanted to secretly deduct some, but the old lady had something to say, she couldn't lose the face of my Su family, she could only forcibly press her heart that was about to move.
A few days ago, the mother and daughter went back to their parents' house, and they went for seven or eight days, and they thought they were not coming back, and they were secretly happy in their hearts, but they didn't expect to come back today, and what was even more annoying was that they didn't expect to meet them at the door of the colorful square, and the shopkeeper was so courteous to them.
Later, she inquired carefully, and heard that the Linglong girl had a high-level VIP jade card in her hand, so the shopkeeper Wang was so polite.
She had heard of that thing a long time ago, and there were not many people in the capital who had that thing, no more than ten in total, where did they come from? Could it be that Mrs. Liang sent it? Mrs. Liang is too generous, right?
I can't take the gold and silver utensils given by Mrs. Liang, so it should be okay to borrow this jade plate occasionally, right?
My Su family spends thousands of taels of silver every year in Wucaifang, and finally got an ordinary VIP jade card, only a nine-percent discount, I heard that if there is that kind of high-level VIP jade card, not only the treatment is preferential, but also a five-fold discount, think about it is tempting to reads;.
Of course, the most important reason is that Zhu wants to make a few sets of novel and chic clothes for Lingxuan, and wait for the draft to wear them, so that she can overwhelm the crowd and win the championship in one fell swoop.
It would be best if you could ask Wang Xiugu to do it herself, you must know that Wang Xiugu is the most famous embroidery girl in the capital, and many of the queen's clothes in the palace are from her.
Zhu's mind turned a few times, and finally spoke: "Third brother and sister, you ...... Why did you order clothes today? ”
"Oh, I went there ten days ago, but there were too many people at that time, there was a long queue, Linglong's girl was anxious, she didn't wait for a while and left, it didn't work out at that time, and I got the news of my mother's house after I came back, and I went to my mother's house for a few days before I remembered it, but fortunately, there are still two days, it's too late."
"It's just that you have that brand, people only make it for you, and it's strange to make it normally, don't wait for ten days and half a month. Hey, third brother and sister, where did you get that brand? ”
"This ...... I heard Linglong say that it seems to be sent by Liang Gongzi! ”
"Really? Third brother and sister, can you borrow that brand for me? ”
"This ......"
"Oh, third brother and sister, you see that you have been back for so long, I am not bad to you, right? Such a good yard for you to live in, what is the difference between what is missing, and let you bump into such a good family business, you won't even be reluctant to give up a brand, right? ”
"Not really."
"Oh, then thank you, in a few days I want to go to Wucaifang for Lingxuan to make a few sets of decent clothes, it will be much easier to have this jade card, third brother and sister, thank you!"
Song smiled awkwardly: "It's nothing, sister-in-law doesn't have to be polite." ”
Zhu left with a smile, Linglong came out of the room, she heard what Fang Cai said, and knew that Zhu would come to ask for a jade card, that thing was like a discount card, anyway, it was for nothing, so it was okay for her to get some benefits and less trouble with me, so Fang Cai Linglong did not stand up against it.
The colorful workshop was really efficient, and the next afternoon a set of delicate pink gauze skirts were delivered.
Linglong tried it, it just fitted, the color of the skirt was young and beautiful, but the style was dignified and generous, it looked delicate and decent, but it was not too eye-catching.
She was very satisfied with the skirt, and only waited for the banquet to go to the banquet with Mrs. Su early tomorrow morning.
The next day, the ladies of the Su Mansion took five or six carriages to the Princess's Mansion.
Mrs. Su was so merciful this time that she even brought a few concubines with her.
In addition to Linglong's mother and daughter, there are also Dafang's mother and daughter, Dafang's daughter-in-law Ma, and Dafang's two concubines: fourteen-year-old Su Lingman and ten-year-old Su Lingyue, and Jin and Su Lingyu mother and daughter in the second room.
As for the male guests, they should have gotten to go, but they didn't take the carriage.
In this way, a long line of people arrived at the gate of the princess's mansion, and when they saw the carriage waiting for a long time, it seemed that they would have to wait for a while, just to see the scenery.
Linglong asked Zhihua to raise the curtain a little, and saw that young noblemen on horseback walked by one after another outside the window.
Zhihua was excited to learn: "Come on, come on, come and see, there are so many handsome boys;!" ”
Zhishu and Gui Ying glanced at each other, both of them were steady and measured people, but after all, they were young, so they were inevitably a little curious about this kind of scene.
Linglong saw through the curtain that there were people in many carriages in front of her who stuck out their heads to look at the strangeness, in fact, she herself was very curious, so she instructed Zhihua: "Pick up all the curtains, you can go out to see, but you are not allowed to make a fool of yourself!" ”
Zhihua immediately cheered, and really climbed out and sat next to the coachman to stare at the past son, and Linglong also came to the window to watch with great interest.
Tsk, sure enough, there are many young talents, many of whom are handsome and graceful, and those sons are also in the most handsome posture one by one, peeking at the roadside carriage from time to time, maybe there is a girl they like.
"Gui Ying, do you know all these sons?"
"I just recognize some."
"Okay, you can introduce me to it."
"Which one does the young lady ask?"
Linglong swept around, it was rare to see a young talent who did not ride a horse but only rode a car, but the man sat in the car differently from the woman, I don't know if it was for swagger or afraid that people would not see him, the car had no roof, similar to an English carriage.
"That...... Who is the scholar with the fan? ”
"Miss's vision is really good, that is the new champion appointed by the emperor this year, I heard that the emperor intends to recruit him as a concubine!"
"Really? It looks like he's not young, he should be in his twenties and thirties, right? He hasn't married yet? ”
"I don't know about this, but I heard that the emperor wants to marry the widowed four princesses, and his age is just right."
"Four princesses? How old is the emperor now? ”
"Miss, don't think about it, the fourth princess is the emperor's sister, and the emperor is only in his thirties this year."
Only in their thirties? It's barely acceptable, if you're forty or fifty and still draft those girls, it's too pitiful!
"Miss, look, the third prince!"
Linglong raised his eyes, and sure enough, he saw the three princes in white clothes with a handsome face.
"Gui Ying, the third prince is the emperor's son?"
"Huh? Of course, otherwise how can you call it a prince? Miss, don't look at the third prince very cold, he is a dutiful son. ”
"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”
"The mother of the third prince is the lady concubine, the lady concubine has always been weak and sick, the third prince has been traveling the world since he was ten years old, and he has been helping his mother to find natural treasures to recuperate, and it has been six or seven years now!"
"Really? That's not about the same as your second son, no, it's much more sensible than your second son. ”
Gui Ying smiled awkwardly: "This ...... In fact, the second son is not bad, the second son has had a very good relationship with the old lady since he was a child, he has traveled all the year round, and any rare medicinal materials he finds will be sent back to the old lady. ”
"In that case, the two of them might as well go together!"
"Miss, don't say it, the relationship between the second prince and the third prince has always been good, and they have indeed traveled together for a while!" (To be continued)
