Chen Wenhui and Wang Yaozhen came to the garden all the way. The garden of this county order is not big, but at this time it is spring and summer, and the flowers are in full bloom, Chen Wenhui and Wang Yaozhen are sitting in the hexagonal pavilion in the garden, and they are in a good mood when they see the flowers. Chen Wenhui looked at the beautiful and lovely Wang Yaozhen and said, "Sister Wang, you have embroidered a lot of flowers on this dress." Wang Yaozhen said: "This skirt was embroidered by our best embroidery room in Ancheng, and it costs 20 taels of silver." However, I have never seen the pattern on your dress, I think it should be a star, it is really a new pattern. Is it from the embroidery workshop in the capital? Chen Wenhui keenly saw that the nurse who served her, Mother Zheng, pouted, Wen Hui snickered in her heart, but said quietly: "Really? But I have never heard of the name of the Exquisite Workshop, and the needlework in my house is made by the people in my house, but not outside. It's good to check it out sometime. Wang Yaozhen's eyes widened: "Miss Chen, are these all made by the people in your own house?" I thought you made this from the embroidery room in Kyoto. You see, although the peony flowers embroidered on this jacket are few, they are vivid, and the craftsmanship of the exquisite workshop is absolutely incomparable. Chen Wenhui hurriedly said: "Sister, don't be estranged from me, I'm only six years old this year, sister Gui Geng?" Or just call my sister to get it. Wang Yaozhen was very happy and said, "I'm eleven years old this year, and I'm older than you, so you're welcome, I'll call you sister." Chen Wenhui hurriedly responded: "Sister should be like this." I only have two older brothers in my family, and my sisters are all in Kyori, so I'm happy to know my sister, and we'll be more affectionate and affectionate in the future, and I'm not alone in Anseong. The two little girls were very happy and talked for a long time. Until the Bai family came to urge the meal, the two of them were still reluctant, Chen Wenhui said to Feiguang: "Feiguang, you go to the front to tell Mrs. Sù, Sister Wang and I hit it off at first sight, we won't go to the front hall to accompany them to eat, let's put the meal in this pavilion for us." It's very warm today, and there is no wind at all, so I still eat well in front of the flowers. "Feiguang is busy. came back for a while, and brought two servants, who carried a three-layer flower-blooming rich red lacquer food box. For a time, dishes and plates were placed in the pavilion.

Chen Wenhui and Wang Yaozhen said while eating, and they were very happy to put aside all the rules that everyone who had learned in the past. After dinner, Wang Yaozhen and Chen Wenhui came to the front hall to sit together for a while, and the mother and daughter of the Wang family said goodbye. Chen Wenhui and Wang Yaozhen said goodbye and made an appointment to meet again in the future.

When the mother and daughter of the Wang family were gone, and Feiguang and Ziyu were left around her, Chen Wenhui said to the Bai family: "Mother, why does Mrs. Wang value the purse and fan that her mother gave to Sister Wang so much?" Bai was very happy to see Chen Wenhui and Wang Yaozhen are close, and said: "That purse and fan are not worth anything, but they are tribute satin, and the embroidered flowers are more delicate, but this is for internal use, and it was originally rewarded by the palace lady when we were in Beijing." In the small place of Anseong, the emperor is far away, where have he seen the things used by the emperor. This kind of thing with the mark of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is much better for the girls to be a dowry than gold and silver, this is a status symbol. The mother money in the purse is a penny, but it is the first batch of copper coins in the imperial court, commonly known as the mother money, which are distributed to Xungui's family, and they cannot be seen in leisure. So precious. Chen Wenhui nodded. That's the benefit of coming from a big family. Today, the Wang family took a few good pieces of jewelry with real money, but they are not as precious as the royal things. No wonder Mrs. Wang values it so much. This is something that money can't buy. This incident made Chen Wenhui understand that this world is different from the world she was in in her previous life, as long as there was money in her previous life, everything could be bought, and it was useless to have money here, and rights were the most important. Bai asked Chen Wenhui to bring the few things she had gotten, and said one by one: "This gold collar is pure gold, I'm afraid there are twelve or three taels, but the workmanship is okay." It is made by the famous silver building Wanjia Silver Building in the south of the Yangtze River, and this style of dark eight immortals is decent. If you need a mortgage when you encounter something, this is the best, but how can our big family do such a thing, so this gold collar can only be taken in a small place like Anseong, and if you return to Beijing, you can't take it. Either keep it in the future and melt it to make other jewelry, or keep it for appreciation. This pair of golden hairpins with dotted cui is a peony with entwined branches, and the style is brought by a young girl, which is okay, and it is okay to be a family with jewelry, but you are too young to keep your head now, so take it for a few years. He picked up the green purse again, opened it, and found that there were two little golden nudes in it. smiled and said to Chen Wenhui: "This purse is embroidered by the exquisite workshop of the famous embroidery room in Ancheng, and the pattern of plum blossoms reflecting snow on it is quite good, but the embroidery method is ordinary, compared to what we use at home, it is much inferior, keep it for the girls in the future." These two little golden nudes are your private money, so take it. After a pause, he said: "It is said that these meeting gifts given to you by Mrs. Wang are already worth 200 taels." It's kind of a heart. But she didn't expect that the things I gave to Miss Wang couldn't be bought for 200 taels. They will make amends. Chen Wenhui nodded. I thought of something again and asked Bai: "Mother, when Sister Wang talked about Jingqiao Fang today, she praised it very much, but Mother Zheng didn't think so, but she didn't say it." Why? Bai Shi smiled and said: "It's right if you don't say it, the masters don't have the right to intervene when they speak." The things of Jingqiaofang are already good in this small Anseong. But you see what you wear at home, that one is better than this, and the things in the embroidery room are not as good as your girl's craftsmanship, of course Zheng's mother doesn't think so. Chen Wenhui looked at the bluegrass embroidered on his body, which was the craftsmanship of Feiguang, beautiful and natural, not like embroidery, but like painting. Look at the cold plum and snow embroidered on the purse, and stand tall.

Bai's expectation was good, at a later time, the Wang family sent a mother to say, Mrs. Wang sent a red sandalwood interstitial, a white jade pendant, and ten new satin and ten yarn. These are the thanks of Madame Wang to Madame Bai for her hospitality. Bai ordered to give a reward to this mother. Let someone take things to the room and show them to Chen Wenhui. Chen Wenhui saw that the interstitial materials of this red sandalwood were exquisite and the workmanship was fine. The pendant of white jade is a set of four, Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum, the jade color is smooth and clean, and the workmanship is particularly exquisite. Bai said to Chen Wenhui: "Mrs. Wang is really a well-behaved person, and she knows that we will definitely look down on ordinary things, so it is better to use local specialties to fill the number." The workmanship and style of furniture and ornaments in Jiangnan are the best. There are all kinds of materials, and that's the best I'm looking for. These satin and yarn are all new patterns, and they are also sought-after goods in the capital. Gifts must be given well, no one has them. Chen Wenhui nodded and looked at the satin and yarn. Satin comes in many colors, including royal blue, silver-red, lotus-colored, honey-colored, jade-colored, and bright red. The colors are all very bright. Probably because considering that the people in the house are very young, and there are no older people, the colors are very bright. The rarest thing is those veils, thin as cicada wings, light and bright, unfolded like a layer of green smoke. The color is the rarest, there are red, there are rain over the azure, there are light green, the most wonderful is a gray, pearlescent, like smoke and fog. Chen Wenhui immediately indulged in it and couldn't help rubbing it with her little hands. In the previous life, these silk products had long been washed away by industrialization, where had I seen this kind of boutique. It's a woman who gets drunk. Bai Shi looked at it and laughed: "It's really a girl, such a small person likes good materials, if you see silk, I don't know what to do with Shu brocade, feather satin and the like." "Chen Wenhui has actually seen this. Because some time ago, Bai taught her to recognize the material and took out many varieties to show her, but those are all fragmentary rulers, where can she shake the whole horse like these and look at it.

At this time, Chen Yuanheng also went down. The Bai family asked Chen Wenhui to take him to the outhouse to play, and at the same time, while personally serving Chen Yuanheng to change the regular clothes worn by the family, he told him all the things that happened during the day and showed him everything. Chen Yuanheng gratefully shook Bai's hand and said to Bai: "Madame is really my virtuous helper." Although I am a county magistrate and a family member, my net worth is too far behind these local squires. Although we don't have to fight with them for wealth, if they know my details, they will inevitably look down on me, but Madame's way of calming them down and impressing me is really admirable. Chen Wenhui didn't go far, and the maids were defenseless because she was a child, so they went to pour tea for Chen Yuanheng, and Chen Wenhui was able to hear clearly. Only after hearing this did I understand what was going on, and I couldn't help but admire my mother's ability again. Women in ancient times should not be underestimated.

Bai Shi blushed and said, "Look at what the old man said, what is this, this is my business." It's really nice for me to be treated. When the lord gave birth to three children, he didn't find a concubine, and in those years in the house, the old lady, the uncle, and the second master didn't give you a lot of stuffing, and you refused for me. This love, how can I forget jì. Compared with my sisters-in-law, sisters, there are few people who are as quiet as me, this is my great blessing, we have wise children, think about it, it is really a blessing from the previous life. If you can't do these things well, how can you be worthy of the master who gave me this qiē. Chen Yuanheng looked at his wife's pretty face dyed with rouge like white jade, and his heart was hot: "Madam, you know me, I am from a concubine, although we were young, we were clothed and fed, but the sins we suffered were unknown to ordinary people." I have the help of my wife, how can I be willing to ask for those concubines again, isn't it to find guilt for myself and my children? I can no longer let my children suffer my own sin. Although we don't have the food and clothes in the house now, we can still live happily in Anseong. I believe that with the ability of our husband and wife, we will return home one day. “

Chen Wenhui saw this warm scene through the gap of Duobaoge and was very moved. At this time, there was a commotion in the courtyard, and it turned out that the two brothers had returned. The family is happy.
