Chapter 584: The Stitch Problem (1)

The women's clothes on trial sale in Ruiwangfu actually entered the palace in a hurry! It may be that someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came out to buy goods and saw it, in short, it was sent to the Queen Mother. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info There is nothing wrong with this, the prince is doing business in front of the queen mother and the emperor. Whatever is sold, as long as it is not forbidden, such as salt, iron, opium, and the like.

"You mean, this dress was bought from the Jade Dragon Cloth Village?" The Queen Mother asked about the procurement of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Yes, absolutely, it was the minion himself who bought it. At that time, it was bought by a sister in the palace who was about to leave the palace at the end of the year, and said that when she went home, she looked young in a bright dress, didn't she? ”

"Is that what it looks like?"

"There are many, why do you have to have a dozen kinds, they are all very good-looking, if the slave is a woman, you must buy one."

"How much does it cost?"

"This is not fixed, depending on how much time it takes to make clothes, and the decorations on it are a little more expensive, all between five taels and ten taels."

"Su Moer, you take four hundred taels of silver, let this person buy and buy again, just buy this kind of women's clothing, the most expensive and beautiful, more than a dozen, right? Then buy forty-two pieces, buy as many as you can, and the rest of the silver will be used for you to hire a car and eat. ”

"Huh! The minion will go. ”

"Hurry up and give this one you bought to that sister, this palace is not a robber."

When the buyer bought all the clothes and sent them to the queen mother with four plates with a high stack, not only the queen mother, but even Su Moer, who was usually dressed very elegantly, and the palace maids who had always dressed in green palace maids, their eyes widened. It's really a hundred flowers. Elegant, rich, indifferent, all kinds of styles, all kinds of styles! The queen mother doesn't know much about clothing fabrics, and she can't imagine that it's not the fabric of the Qing Dynasty, but she thinks it's good-looking, and none of the queens, concubines, and concubines in the palace have such beautiful clothes! There are a total of forty-two pieces, the queen mother picked a light red ribbon embroidered with tender yellow chrysanthemums and left it for herself, and a big red brocade with lace lace for the queen, and a more elegant one for Su Moer, and the others are all the concubines. In order to prevent them from saying that they are biased, fold these clothes and wrap them in a piece of paper, and let them take it themselves, and you will take it yourself by your own luck. As for saying that it doesn't matter if you don't like it, you can change it, maybe the second prince's Eniang has taken a fancy to the third prince's Eniang, anyway, there can't be any complaints, who is to blame for the matter of fate? Do you still have to talk nonsense about picking up a piece of clothing for nothing? I didn't dare to complain in front of myself.

So he put on one of his own, and asked Su Moer to wear her one to invite the queen. The queen almost screamed when she saw the clothes Su Mo'er was wearing. Su Moer's is the most simple, dark green brocade fabric, black collar, three black inlays on the placket, and even the cuffs and bottom are black brocade. But the black is embroidered with a pale green ribbon on top of it, and it lifts the clothes all at once. In particular, there are a few small beads in the center of the floret.

"Which tailor made Aunt Su's clothes? That's pretty too, isn't it? ”

"Back to the queen's master, this is the queen mother's reward to the slave maid, the queen mother still has a reward for you, that is, the one who told the slave and maid to come and ask you to get your piece, it's too late."

"Come on, change the clothes of the main palace!"

"Huang Eniang, don't you want to kill your daughter-in-law? This dress of yours has raised you even more noblely. ”

"When did the queen learn to flatter my old man? This one is yours, you are the queen, you must wear the big red and rich. You see if you like it or not, this is the first thing the emperor picked out for you. ”

"Thank you, Huang Eniang! Ah. Hehehe, great, great! Your old man's vision is the most powerful in the Qing Dynasty, is there anyone else's? Hongu wants to put it on before anyone else! Wow! Who did this? ”

"Stop, stop, where is this still like a queen? All the women in the emperor have it, but the concubines who have children can take her share first. As for who gets what it looks like, it's up to their luck. If you take a fancy to mine, I also fancy yours, you can swap it, and you can't unilaterally force you to exchange. I've already instructed someone to invite, and I'll be there in a while, and I can only give a reward when I get there, or I shouldn't say that the palace is eccentric. ”

All the concubines arrived one after another, and sat down and drank tea after greeting. One by one, their eyes stared at the cheongsam on the Queen Mother, the Empress and Su Moer. Or Concubine E has face and dares to fight against the queen: "The dress on the queen's mother is probably more beautiful than the one you wore on the day of your wedding with the emperor." ”

The queen mother's eyes glared at Concubine E unhappily, everyone knew that the emperor and the current queen were drunk on the wedding day, and they didn't spend the night with the queen at all. This is a sincere attempt to embarrass the Empress, and it is also a demonstration to the Empress Dowager: Your son does not like the girls of the noble Borzigit family, one is abolished, and the other is cold, and it is not as good as me, a married woman, to be pampered.

Who is the Queen Mother? Can you eat this dumb loss? didn't look angry, and said in a slow voice: "The palace itself takes silver to reward the emperor's women, and there is no distinction between high and low, just look at these clothes and look good, if you like it, take one yourself, if you don't like it, don't say those words without oil and salt." Most of these women have given birth to children for the emperor, whether it is a prince or a princess, they are all meritorious people. Concubine E, except for the queen, you are the highest status among these people, start with you, take one by yourself, don't hesitate, take it and go, don't pick. The palace doesn't know who took what it looked like, it was all wrapped, and I couldn't see it. Don't say that the palace is eccentric and biased. By God's fate. Take it, it's these paper bags on the kang. ”

"Yes, then the concubine is welcome?" Although Concubine E was reprimanded by the Queen Mother in disguise, it did not affect her emotions, and it was not the first time she was reprimanded, and her face had already developed a certain thickness. He stepped forward and took the second piece of his left hand and left. The next one is Concubine Tong, I can't pick it if I can't see it, so I took one by the way. I took it all in a short time, and no one dared to open it in person.

"Open it all, what else is Sven?"

So the concubines hurriedly opened their own, and suddenly the screams were endless. hurriedly took it back and peeked at the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother didn't look angry.

Concubine Tong's one is very beautiful, it is light purple, dark purple edges, and the bottom circle is a small embroidered flower with a lilac ribbon, and there are a few trembling beads in the heart of the flower, very small beads. The fabric is also lavender, but it is patterned, the natural color of the ground, the natural color of the flower, in the lower part of the cheongsam there is a pink peony, the peony is surrounded by a pair of fluttering butterflies. Concubine Tong is very satisfied! Holding the clothes, touching the ribbons on them to embroider the flowers.

Concubine E got a moon-white cheongsam, the pattern of the cheongsam is convex on the cloth, and it is also a local flower, an orchid pattern, very elegant, pale yellow along the edge. The most delicate is that the flowers on the cheongsam are also embroidered with ribbons, it is a lotus, it is very three-dimensional, the flower type is not too big, but it is slim, and there is a lifelike dragonfly on it that falls on a lotus bone, a pale green lotus leaf, two or three aquatic plants. Concubine E likes it so much, she just likes these elegant colors and poetic pictures. He chanted softly: "The little lotus has only shown its sharp horns, and there are dragonflies standing on its heads. ”

Others, such as Concubine Dong E (later Concubine Ning, mother of the second prince Fuquan), Concubine Chen (mother of the fifth prince Chang Ning), Concubine Niu (mother of the Seventh Prince Longxi) and others all got clothes that they were satisfied with. Those concubines and geges all quietly took one, held it in their arms, and stood behind the high-ranking concubines.

These women have been rewarded by the Queen Mother, and that face is enough. Especially Concubine E, when she put on her clothes, she began to look in the mirror, and the two personal palace maids who served her each held a mirror and asked her to look back and forth.

"Master, this dress is the most beautiful of all the clothes", the whole is a sycophant.

"Master, you must wear this dress when the emperor comes up, the emperor will definitely like it more, another sycophant.

The Queen Mother knew that these clothes were bought from Yulong Cloth Village, and naturally they were made by the women of Ruiwangfu. Such clothes must be sewn in large quantities, but this brocade is very expensive. Anyway, people are making money for the emperor, how much effort does it take to make these kinds of clothes? You need to have all the clothes ready, right? You have to design a style, right? You have to have a good embroiderer to embroider, right? You still have to cut, sew, and iron, it's troublesome. It was decided to get brocade from the Weaving Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the Rui Wangfu.

"Father-in-law Qiang, you go to the Rui Wangfu Mansion to invite the Tong family to Fujin."

"Huh!"

The Queen Mother has asked Fujin in other mansions to be a favor and face, but for Fujin, it is really a disturbance, and it is annoying, but what is the way to refuse? The words of the Queen Mother are the decree of Yi, and resisting the decree is the crime of killing the head. No matter how annoying you are, you can't help but cherish your head, right? Put on the auspicious clothes of Fujin, take Mama Liu and Ji'er, two honest people, take the car on the house, get off at Shenwu Gate, walk through the Imperial Garden and then to Cining Palace. After the big ceremony, the Queen Mother gave a seat.

"Xiu'er, why did you announce that you entered the palace in this palace?"

"The concubine guesses that you must be thinking about the popcorn on the concubine's house."

One sentence made the Queen Mother laugh more than once. It took a long time before he said, "Then hurry up and present it to the palace." Do you know Xiu'er? A few bags of popcorn you brought last time, Xue'er brought it back and gave Xuan Ye a bag, Xuan Ye and Bing'er ate it on the porch, and were seen by the second prince Fuquan, and asked what was delicious, Xuan Ye poured a few in his hand, this is good, the gluttonous worm hooked up, and snatched it away while Xuan Ye was not paying attention. The third prince cried loudly, beating his chest and regretting that he didn't hold it. When Fuquan was walking and eating while holding his pocket, he was seen by the five princes again, and he smelled the fragrance. Chao Fuquan asked for it, but Fuquan teased him and didn't give it, and that thing rolled around. ”

"Children, noses and eyes are smart."

"If only they could read so well. Aren't you hungry for the sons of your house? ”

"It's also greedy, that is, what to eat is not a tiger."

"This palace thinks that there are few children in your house, and you have an interest in competing for me. By the way, this palace announced that you entered the palace to talk about the clothes in your house, don't be afraid, this palace didn't say bad. ”

"Is the Queen Mother talking about pants or tops?"

"Cheongsam, didn't you see the one on this palace? It was made by your house, it was bought from Yulong Buzhuang by a purchase of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the palace simply bought one for all the women of the emperor. This palace still thinks that clothes like yours are sold too cheaply, such a good fabric, such a good handiwork only sells for ten taels of silver? ”

"Do you think the price is low? Let's just mention it a little more. My prince is the emperor's elder brother, and you still need to spend money to buy clothes for your mothers? ”

"It's not one or two, I bought a total of forty-two pieces of Bengong and Su Mo'er and left two pieces, and the rest were sent to the concubines, and even the ones with the status of Gege were not left behind. The palace didn't understand the business matter, so I listened to the buyer and say, the price between five taels and ten taels of silver, don't you think this price is too low? ”

"My prince is not an old oilman in business, now he is just a test market, that is, he is touching the price, and he doesn't dare to ask for such a high price all of a sudden, for fear of scaring people, and he will never dare to patronize it in the future."

"You always say that your prince is a rough man, and it is still very wise to touch the price like this. What's it called? Crossing the river by feeling the stones or throwing stones to ask for directions? The price is still a little higher, and a cheongsam costs at least ten taels of silver, otherwise those women in the house are not very hard? ”

"Yes, then we will sell ten taels of silver a piece, this is the Queen Mother's decree."

"You have to make so many clothes, but you can't do less, this palace will allocate a batch of fine brocade from the weaving bureau for you, and go back to the palace to send someone to you to do it boldly! It's okay to break a few pieces, just learn the art. ”

Fu Jin hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him, and said, "Queen Mother, what can you do if you give us a brocade?" ”

The Queen Mother laughed happily: "It's not a batch, it sounds the same, it means a large batch, not just a hundred feet, fifty feet." ”

"A large batch, that's great, thank you Queen Mother for your grace!"

"Queen Mother, the concubine asks to see you."

"Let her in, won? It's not a problem with the clothes.,If you don't want it, return it to the palace.。 ”

"The concubines see the emperor's mother, and I have seen Tong Fujin."

Fu Jin hurriedly gave a gift to Concubine E: "The concubine is blessed with Jin'an." ”

"Wuyunzhu, do you think you are not satisfied with your clothes? Returned to the emperor's mother? ”

"Oh no! Unless you want to take it back, the concubine is here to ask for advice. ”

"Xiu'er, do you think she's scared? Hehehe, what's wrong with the clothes? What's wrong? ”

"Oh, no, it's not that there's something wrong with the clothes, it's that the concubine doesn't know what superb tailor you've met? You see, the stitches on this are totally, absolutely the same! The concubine tried, carefully and carefully, how could it not be as big as each stitch. So, please ask the emperor to ask who did it, and the concubines want to learn. ”

"You kid is too strong, just rest if you're not in good health, and the palace doesn't expect you to dress the emperor."

"People are very interested. Do we still have such capable people in the Qing Dynasty? The stitches were just as big as they were measured with a ruler. ”

"Really? Bengong hasn't paid attention yet, Su Moer, you bring the glasses to Bengong. (To be continued.) )
