Chapter 62: Silk
Lu Shi was old in the end, and he was the first to come back to his senses.
She tried not to keep her attention on the satin, stiffened her head and turned back to look at the cotton cloth she had taken a fancy in advance, and she said, "Just the right cotton, you cut three feet for me." ”
More than two feet can make a good dress, and the rest will let the strong lady embroider a mandarin duck pillowcase.
"Okay, I'll arrange someone to cut it for you, you wait a minute." After saying that, he picked up the cotton cloth and went into the room to let him cut the rulers, and after a while, he came over with the cut cotton cloth in both hands. He said: "Auntie, you check it, I'll pack it for you if it's okay." ”
Lu Shi spread it out, looked at it closely, made sure that there were no mistakes, and measured it with his hand, three feet was only a little more, and then nodded with satisfaction.
Jin Yun watched it with relish from the side, although she didn't interject a word, but the atmosphere around her made her feel very stable.
Looking at a few nieces, I was afraid that they would be looked down upon by worry, although they were looking at the Lu family in a correct posture, but everyone was really staring at the silk cloth in the corner.
She tilted her head, pointed to the satin cloth, and asked, "What about this?" How much is a horse? ”
Lu Shi took out the money and turned his head to glare at Jin Yun fiercely.
The guy didn't show sarcasm, but with a bit of sincerity, he said: "I don't hide it from you, and I can't hide it, the reason why this silk is here is because of improper warehouse management, and the guide is damp, and there are some problems." Our shopkeeper put this here to see if we could sell it at a lower price. ”
Lu's eyes couldn't help but glow, and she only noticed a word that interested her, "Low price?" How low? ”
"I'll spread it out first, you can see." The man picked up the satin, put it on the table, grabbed it and pushed it forward.
It attracted a few pours.
I saw that the lotus lotus-colored satin was full of spots and stains, if it was concentrated in one piece, it was good, and it could be cut down as a handkerchief, now it is indeed a piece of east and west, although the stain is small, but it is a little dense, which greatly affects the appearance.
"It's still being sold, it's just unusable." Lu Shi shook his head in disappointment, the low price he just said couldn't arouse her interest, although it wasn't his own, there was still a trace of heartache after all.
What a beautiful satin, and it was ruined like that.
"That's why it's piled up here and left it for a long time." It's a pity that even if there are a little less places that are damp, I am afraid that he will take out the silver to buy such a precious cloth, after all, the price given by the shopkeeper is really low.
"The lotus color is a new color from Shangjing, which is very popular with dignitaries and nobles. It is precisely because of the dampness that it is only 300 wen a foot now. ”
"Ugh." The Lu family couldn't believe that three hundred Wen could actually buy silk and satin materials.
Xiao Mo grabbed the hem of her clothes with both hands, deepening her breath, she stepped forward, grabbed the materials on the table and looked at them carefully, and kept measuring them with her hands.
Although Lu Shi felt a pity, it didn't mean that she would spend this unjust money, and said: "Okay, hurry up and wrap it up, we still have to hurry." ”
"Mother, let's buy some." Xiao Mo pulled his mother to the corner and whispered.
Lu Shi just looked at it and said, "There's nowhere to spend the money, right?" What to do when you buy it, you can't tell how people laugh when you wear it. ”
Xiao Mo hurriedly explained: "I just took a look, there is a stain in a place about the size of a palm, but the stain occupies a small place, and embroidering it with a plum blossom will not cover the stain." ”
When Xiao Mo said this, Lu felt that it was really good.
The guy kept his ears pricked up on the side, and then he couldn't help adding: "The little lady's idea is good, it can not only cover the stains but also be more exquisite, and the clothes made will be amazing." ”
The guy said with emotion, but he didn't think so.
Who doesn't know how to embroider some patterns on clothes to cover up, but what is needed is exquisite craftsmanship.
Embroiderers with craftsmanship will not care about these taels of silver, and those who are not skilled at home will only embroider more and more messy, making it indecent.
Although he thought so in his heart, of course it was impossible for the man to say that if he could sell the problematic silk, the shopkeeper would praise him, and as for the sale, what did it have to do with him.
Jin Hai couldn't help but hold out hope, although it was not a big red, and he couldn't wear it on the day he got married, but he still had to go back to the door, and put on silk on the day he returned to the door, not only his mother-in-law's family would look up to him, but even people outside would admire and envy him.
She tugged at her mother's sleeve with some pleading in her eyes.
Lu Shi hesitated, she didn't believe in Xiao Mo's craftsmanship, if she didn't get it right, she would be wasted directly for a tael of silver.
Not to mention others, even she herself can't accept such a thing happening, and she is not willing to gamble.
Of course, Xiao Mo has such ability, but she won't guarantee it. If the mother wants to believe it, she will believe it, and if she doesn't believe it, she won't be affected by anything.
This opening just made them have a bottom in their hearts, so that after the Lu family knew that she was good at embroidery, she complained that she didn't think of a way for the eldest sister.
Looking at Jin Hai's pleading, Jin He, as a younger sister, couldn't help but speak, she said: "Mother, my sister has never worn a good dress in her life, so you can fulfill it once." ”
The Lu family has some pity, the eldest daughter really doesn't have a new dress for so many years, that is, the one she has on her now, she wore it when she was a daughter, and now she picks it out and gives it to her daughter to wear.
Of the four granddaughters of the Jin family, Jin Hai is not big or small, and he just ranks in the middle, so it is inevitable that he will be neglected.
The old lady gave her three taels of silver, plus her own bits and pieces of private house, which was only less than one tael of silver.
I knew that the second brother had an accident last time, so I didn't pay him off his gambling debts in a private house, and nothing happened anyway.
"You know how much money the family has to pay, and my father and mother can only make up one or two pieces of silver for you at most." After Lu Shi whispered in his ear, he moved away slightly and continued: "The clothes alone cost one or two halves of silver, and the other five pieces of dowry are not easy to buy. ”
The lotus-colored silk must not be able to make a wedding dress, and you have to buy three horses, plus the needle and thread that the strong lady wants to embroider on the satin, plus it is about to catch up with two taels of silver.
Jin Hai didn't go through anything in the end, listening to his mother's words, only when she agreed, there was only a strong joy in his heart, how could he notice anything else.
Jin Ye was unhappy, she pouted and said: "They are all girls from the countryside, what kind of silk do they wear, I don't know if you want to climb the high branches." ”
"Ye Zi said so ugly, it's jealousy, you want the second aunt to buy it for you when you get married." As soon as Jin He said quickly, he couldn't look down on Jin Ye rolling his eyes.
Jin Ye was about to refute but was rushed over by the Lu family: "Okay, outside, give the skin tighter, don't shout." ”
He turned back to the shopkeeper and said, "Man, no matter how little the price is, look at the layers piled up on it, so let's give it cheaper." ”
Before the man's head could be shaken out, he was opened by Lu Shi again.
Although the final price was not less, it was three hundred wen a foot, but the guy gave three feet of coarse cloth, and looked at the smiling faces of the Lu family, and he took a big advantage.
The procurement here is in full swing, but Jin Qiwen, who delivered the food, is in trouble.
