Chapter 221: Networking

Zhao Chongyi hurriedly asked, "What do you have to say?" ”

Rong Xue frowned and said, "I heard Mrs. Liu say that my sister-in-law is going to hold a ceremony recently." Do I want to give it with a gift? What the hell is going to do? I don't understand at all. Can my brother sue me, or can I ask Mrs. Liu to sue me, I just happened to take the one hundred taels of silver given by my brother to buy it. It's done, and my brother will help me send it over. How can I deliver it alone? ”

Zhao Chongli immediately understood. Langxue is dependent on Zhao Chongyi for survival. What will happen to her in the future depends on Zhao Chongyi and his wife. Men generally don't ask about such things in the house. These will all be handled by my sister-in-law in the future. Although Rong Xue is Zhao Chongyi's younger sister, she is not from the Zhongyi Mansion, and the Zhongyi Mansion will not lend her her name. So, she has to slap her sister-in-law now. However, giving a gift to a sister-in-law is not something that everyone can give. Can she go in? What is she?

Zhao Chongli felt a little sad, and didn't feel that his voice was soft, and said: "Your future sister-in-law is very kind, kind-hearted, and has excellent ability, and she will definitely be able to handle your affairs well in the future." As for what gift to give, you should ask Mrs. Liu, she knows these things best. However, don't be afraid to spend money, there are also 100 taels of silver tickets here, also for you, but for 200 taels, it is best to get some handkerchiefs, snacks and the like, or to draw a picture, to make a fan or something, even if it is a tapestry. I'm sure the county lord will like it. When it's done, I'll send it over with my post, along with my gift. The Chungyi Mansion will definitely prepare a gift. We do it alone, we don't follow them. ”

Seeing that my brother is so considerate of himself, I am very happy to make snow. However, there is also some sorrow. In fact, she said that she wanted to give Chen Wenhui a gift with the attitude of trying it out. Look at the weight of this future sister-in-law in my brother's heart. She deliberately said that she wanted to buy the one hundred taels of silver that her brother had recently given. In fact, a hundred taels of silver is already a lot. For an ordinary medium-sized family, the annual expenses are only twenty taels of silver. The people in the countryside can't even spend five taels a year.

The head and face of this 100 taels of silver jewelry can also be beaten, and the clothes can be made into several bodies. Of course, that kind of top-level definitely can't do it. It is better to talk about gemstones and pearls, such as fine brocades. But. My brother actually said. and give another hundred taels of silver. This has two meanings, on the one hand, it agrees with her sister-in-law, and justifiably tells her that her future is in the hands of her sister-in-law. On the other hand, it can be seen. The sister-in-law has a high status in the heart of her brother. a gift of a hundred taels of silver. My brother is too thin.

Rong Xue only felt a slight chill in his heart. But, on second thought, my brother said it last. The gifts of the two brothers and sisters were given separately, not with the Zhongyi Mansion. What does this mean? This shows that the elder brother still values her half-sister more than those half-brothers and sisters in the Zhongyi Mansion, and the younger brothers still value her half-sister more.

Rong Xue's heart turned a thousand times, but her face was not revealed, she took the silver ticket handed over by Zhao Chongyi, and found that it was two hundred taels, plus the one hundred taels she gave before, it was three hundred taels. Lang Xue asked a little strangely: "Brother, you gave me a mistake, these are two." ”

Zhao Chongyi smiled and said, "That's right, plus the total of three hundred taels of silver tickets that I gave you before." Two hundred taels, you look at and ask Mrs. Liu to guide you to make a gift. One hundred taels is for you to spend money. This big girl's family, you have to buy more clothes, you have to play more jewelry, rest assured to spend money, my brother is rich, I am just your sister, I am willing to spend as much as I want. Girls have limited youth, you look like a mother, very beautiful, it's time to dress up. ”

I was very happy to say this. The brother said that she was his only sister. What about the younger sister of the Zhongyi Mansion? And the sister in the palace who is a mother? These noble daughters, Niangniang is not as important in his heart as a lowly person like her.

Lang Xue happily went out with the silver ticket. Zhao Chongyi then went out as well. When she returned to her yard, she remembered that just now, her brother said that she would make a gift for herself. Actually, the girl's house and the ceremony. Generally, the gifts given by girls of the same generation who have not been out of the cabinet are mostly hand-made purses, handkerchiefs and the like. However, since she was a child, she was sent to the land of fireworks by the ill-intentioned Mrs. Zhao, and she learned how to serve people, charming, and things like the wind and snow, where can you do all this needlework?

The handkerchief that she embroidered by herself was too embarrassed to take it out. In the past half a year, she has learned some crafts from Mrs. Liu and the embroidery girl of the Liu family, but she really has no talent, she just barely understands some of it, and she has not yet reached the point where she can take it out as a gift.

What can I do? Come to think of it, Lang Xue found that her best song and dance were not used here. People hold ceremonies in the palace, and naturally there are musicians in the palace, where to use her. What else would she do but sing and dance? After thinking about it, she finally thought that she could draw. This qin, chess, calligraphy and painting must be taught in the Qinglou.

Ling Xue happily let the maid lay out the paper and was about to paint, but when she thought about it, who is Chen Wenhui? But I learned to paint with Master Qiu, a famous painter in Dachu. She had accidentally seen it once before at her brother's place, and the painting was really good, it was a stunt. Also, she was in the Fengyue Field, and she also knew that the rise of Da Chu's painting was promoted by Chen Wenhui, and if she painted for her, wouldn't it be the class to get an axe?

I didn't know how to make the snow for a while, and the paintbrush I picked up was not interested in putting it down.

Her eldest maid Yuying was delicate, and when she saw her master like this, she couldn't help but ask.

She told her worries. Yuying smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this. In my opinion, it's better for the girl to make a connection, which is made by herself, practical, beautiful, or a mind, and it is easier to get. ”

Thinking about it, although she is still short of the fire in the women's red needlework, in the past six months, the craft of making the rope has been practiced well.

Lang Xue smiled and said, "You have a good idea, let's do it." It's just that we only played one silk yarn, isn't it too little? Somewhat thinned? ”

Yuying smiled and said, "Why do you only fight one?" There is still half a month before now, and we have enough time, so we will simply hit twelve, one per month, which is also the meaning of congratulations to Fangchen. Some of these can be used as pendants for fans, some can be used as belts, some can be used as pendants, some can be used as pendants, some can hang purses, anyway, there are many uses, in addition to these, sedan chairs, window cheap, tent hooks, flutes, incense bags, hairpins, necklaces, glasses bags, cigarette bags and calligraphy and painting hanging scrolls under the wind town can be used. Not to mention twelve, even two hundred is normal. Isn't it beautiful, rich, and practical, and doesn't look thinner? ”

Lang Xue became happy and said: "Yes, why didn't I think that such twelve colors and different shapes are put in a delicate box, and it is not eye-catching, and it shows that I made it myself, and people who don't know still think how clever my hands are?" ”

Yuying also laughed.

Lang Xue was very interested and said: "Jade Ying, jade bottle, you can help me take a closer look, what color and what kind of yarn they are playing." ”

Yuying thought for a while and said, "There must be an auspicious knot." This can be a little bigger, and the color used should not be red, black, purple ordinary colors, I think with vermilion plus bead line, it is very atmospheric, and it is still very good to use the jade. ”

Snowfall nodded.

The jade bottle said: "You can also use gold and silver thread to tie a big thousand knots, you can also use royal blue to pay gold thread to tie an auspicious cloud knot, the county lord is young, I heard that it is very beautiful, you can use pink with bead thread, one with sticky, tie an osmanthus knot." ”

Lang Xue said: "Yes, I saw a similar Luo Zi a few days ago, it is very beautiful. Moreover, it only takes half a day to make a tie, we still have such a long time, and with the help of the two of you, we can try to play some large, rare, and exquisitely made ties. ”

Jade Ying also came to the interest and said: "If you want to talk about delicacy, I also have an idea, under each knot we can hang the usual tassels, or hang some fine strings of pearls. Doesn't it look noble and generous, but also curious? ”

Rong Xue's eyes lit up and said: "This is a good idea, anyway, my brother gave a lot of silver, two hundred taels of silver, and I can buy a lot of scattered pearls alone, so we will use pearls to string, so that half of the pearls are strung and half are strung with long tassels." ”

Yuying said: "Let's just prepare a big box, which is filled with twelve large ones that can be hung on the wall, or used as calligraphy and painting hanging scrolls, or can be used as a tent, hanging sedan chairs, and the kind of big ropes on the curtains." Then use a smaller box and put twelve small ones, which can be hung on clothes, incense bags, hairpins, and collars. The county lord's mansion is newly built, and these decorative walls must have a lot of things needed for the house. Of course, their house must have been set up early in the morning. But this is our own hand-made, even more sincere, if we live in the future, on the wall, the window hangs our girl's own line, doesn't it also seem that our girl is ingenious? As for the small one, if it can be done into the eyes of the county lord, she will bring it on her body, and naturally those noble ladies who are stammering with the county lord will ask, one is our girl's craftsmanship, and don't you praise our girl for being popular? In this way, it will be easier for our girls to talk about others in the future. ”

Ling Xue was stunned for a moment, what Yuying said was very reasonable. However, she really didn't think about getting married. (To be continued......)
