Xie Ning didn't react much to Mama Qin's question, after all, according to her own intentions, she also wanted to rectify Mama Lou, so she just looked at Mama Qin with a smile and gave a tacit look.

On the other hand, Lou's mother was pale, and Xie Ning stood close, and she could even see the sweat floating on her forehead.

And the disdain she showed when she got along with Shainin just now was completely gone, obviously afraid in her heart, but she insisted on squeezing out a smile on her face, and said in a sneering voice: "Mama, don't think about it too much, the old slave didn't think about it for a while, so he missed things, and there was no insinuation." Who are you, and how could you be negligent? As for this prayer post, let me send someone to bring it when I get back. ”

Mama Qin turned to look at Xie Ning, and did not open her mouth to respond, and even gave a stingy look to Mama Lou, who had just explained aloud.

Hearing the strings and knowing the elegant meaning, and receiving Mama Qin's gaze, Xie Ning could naturally understand her intentions, so he raised his voice to Lou's mother: "You are just thinking about it for a while, but it is not a big mistake." Rest assured, we won't blame you for that. As for this prayer, I still have to explain it. You said that you had something to inform, but you didn't make it clear, what did you want to do when you went to the Prime Minister's Mansion for a banquet? ”

Perhaps because Mama Qin was here, Mother Lou cooperated with Xie Ning's question, lowered her head and frowned, and said: "I was about to talk to Miss Biao, the Prime Minister's Mansion recently held a banquet because the 60th birthday of Gu Xiang's mother, Old Woman Gu, is approaching. As for the day of this feast, it will be set on the 10th day of the eighth month. Three days later. The invitation was also delivered today. Although the relationship between Beijing and China is staggered, Mrs. Gu's birthday is almost known to all the provinces, so our Hou Mansion has already arranged the schedule for that day. ”

Although he knew that Lou's mother was bored with her, Xie Ning did not ignore her words, and listened carefully from beginning to end, but also gained something. What made her wonder was when Mrs. Gu had her birthday, and what did it have to do with her, Lou's mother mentioned it at this time. What is the purpose?

Her eyes flashed. was guessing in his heart, and the next moment, he saw Lou's mother continue to explain: "Gu Xiangnai is a person of pure filial piety, and he is the one before the guests go to the banquet. We will prepare in advance. How to prepare a gift. will put a lot of thought into it. Our Hou Mansion is naturally no exception, and Madame ordered the needlework lady to make the clothes of the people in the mansion and the banquet as early as the beginning of June. But at that time, I didn't expect you to be invited to accompany you. That's why I didn't prepare any clothes and jewelry for you, but now I put it again, it is inevitably a bit hasty, and it will inevitably make people feel that our Hou Mansion is rude and slack. ”

Speaking of this, Lou's mother paused, raised her head and said: "This jewelry is okay, let's find a few sets from the library in the past two days, and it doesn't take much effort." As for what clothes to wear, it is difficult to do. However, Miss Cousin, you and the eldest lady are very similar in size. Therefore, Madame sent me to ask if you would like to prepare your own things for use, or if you would like to borrow a suit from the eldest lady and make do with it temporarily. ”

Xie Ning listened to Lou's mother's words, and couldn't help but secretly think about it in his heart. If what Lou's mother said is true, then this is really not something that can be dealt with. Her clothes are all added together, and there are not a few pieces, the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she can't wear the clothes she wore in front of Gu Qingyun.

Although the Hou Mansion makes clothes every month, the clothes and skirts of the season can not be distributed to everyone until the end of the month. Now it is the seventh day of the first lunar month, and Shaining's summer clothes in August may not be able to be made even on the day of the birthday banquet.

But I asked her to go to Gao Yiyao to borrow clothes...... She doesn't care, but Gao Yiyao may not be willing, so why should she be strong. If she prepares herself, she is worried that something will go wrong. Xie Ning couldn't help but hesitate, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while, so he glanced at Mama Qin inquiringly, wanting to see what the other party had to say.

Unexpectedly, Mama Qin just said, "You decide for yourself, you don't have to discuss it with me." ”

With such a response, Xie Ning could only pull the corners of his mouth, rummaging over and over the clothes in the high cabinet in his room, and suddenly remembered the twelve Hunan skirts that Mingshuang had prepared for her when she was training Qin Feng in Tianlin Fang. Because the dress was so beautiful, she remembered it very clearly, and there was even a delicate koi pattern on the cuffs of the skirt, embroidered with silver thread.

She didn't wear this dress in front of anyone, and in the Hou Mansion, only Mingshuang, Gu Sui, and Qin Mama had seen it, and it was formal enough not to embarrass the Hou Mansion. She could have worn this dress to the feast.

Xie Ning made up his mind, his heart was at ease, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he said half-truthfully to Mama Qin, who was waiting for a reply in front of him: "Borrowing clothes from Cousin Yao is inevitably a little troublesome." What's more, although the two of us are similar in size, wearing her old clothes, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will see the clues. To be on the safe side, this garment will be prepared by the frost in my courtyard. ”

This time, Lou's mother didn't ask much, but nodded very respectfully and said, "Then Miss Biao, you can prepare it yourself." Madame instructed that if you have any expenses, you may go to the account office and pay some money. ”

The middle feed of the Jingyang Hou Mansion, although it is now in charge of the He family in the second room, but it is still the Hou wife Xiang who really speaks in the Hou Mansion. Xie Ning could see it clearly, and also understood that the Xiang family sent Lou's mother to come, but it was just a scene, although Xiang mentioned that he wanted her to borrow Gao Yiyao's clothes, but he told Lou's mother like this, and the original intention in his heart should still be to let her prepare by herself.

I knew in my heart that Xie Ning didn't show anything on his face, but in front of Lou's mother, he just smiled and said falsely: "Okay, please also ask Lou's mother to tell your aunt, I will arrange it myself." ”

"Then the old slave will go back first," Lou's mother nodded at Xie Ning, and smiled at Mama Qin again, before turning around and leaving.

There were no outsiders in the courtyard, so Mama Qin asked Xie Ning out loud: "Since you have already responded, you must have a countermeasure?" ”

Xie Ning nodded, and said bluntly without hesitation: "Mama still remembers that I once brought a blue Hunan skirt from King An's Mansion. I wore it only once, and then put it away in the cupboard, and no one but a few of us had ever seen it. ”

"It turned out to be this dress," Mama Qin nodded thoughtfully, "I have some impressions." It's just that this dress is from King An's Mansion after all, so it's better to hand it over to me and Mingshuang, change it slightly, and then wear it to the banquet. (To be continued.) )
