Xia He talked to everyone for a while and left, she has a lot of things. As soon as she left, 'Jade' Xia took out the box and said to everyone: "Okay, things in the future will not be so 'exciting', let's choose the hairpin that the county lord will reward us." After the division is completed, I still have to divide the work. ”

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly gathered around and looked at the eight pairs of hairpins carefully. Cui Xi said: "Sister 'Jade' Xia, this hairpin is really good-looking, the workmanship is very 'fine' Zhan, although it is only silver and not red gold, and there are no gems, pearls and other inlays, but just this 'fine' Zhan's workmanship can also be worth a lot of money." It can be passed down as a family heirloom. Aren't you going to get married this month? I don't want my pair, and I'll give it to you in advance as makeup. You have more jewelry as a dowry, and you will look more decent when you get married. ”

When everyone heard this, they all said that they would give this hairpin to 'jade' Xia. 'Jade' Xia smiled and said, "How big is my head to wear eight pairs of hairpins?" ”

Everyone laughed when they thought about it.

'Jade' Xia Fan blushed and said: "I just replied to the county lord, and the county lord not only approved my marriage, but also said that the courtyard where Brother Niu lives now will be given to me, and he will give it to me as a home after marriage." That way I don't have to go out and rent a house. Not to mention, the county lord actually wanted to give me a hundred taels of silver to press the bottom of the box. ”

Everyone couldn't help but gasp. Although, everyone knows that there is a dowry, but they didn't expect that there are so many hundred taels, which can already buy a few acres of land in the capital. But when I think about it, the county lord can give them five hundred taels of silver for their settling-in allowance, and this one hundred taels of silver dowry money is really ordinary. It's normal for the county lord, but it's not ordinary for them. Can ordinary petty officials marry their 'daughters' and buy so many dowries? 'Jade' Xia can get a dowry of 100 taels of silver, can they also get so much dowry money? Everyone's hearts are very hot.

Cui Xi not only has a fast mouth, but also a fast brain. She asked: "Sister, you just said that you were pressing the bottom of the box, is it not only the dowry that the county lord gave you?" ”

'Yu' Xia said, "Yes." I don't know exactly what it is. The county lord said that it was entrusted to the county lord's master's house to open a happy shop. It seems that there are clothes, simple jewelry, furniture and so on, and the county lord said, the county lord said, even the children and grandchildren have buckets. I don't have to buy my own things, and I don't have to buy furniture for my yard, when the time comes. The people in the shop will help me 'get' it, so that I can concentrate on taking the apprentice now. ”

Now everyone was even more happy, Cui Xi said: "Oh, in this way, the dowry given by the county lord is more than the standard of one hundred taels, even if it is made of the cheapest wood, these things can be worth ten taels of silver, and the most important thing is to save trouble." By the way, and jewelry. Even if it's silver, it's worth a dozen taels of silver. ”

"I don't know what it is, but I think." The county lord has always been generous, and he will definitely not give anything very bad. ”

Everyone was happy and said happy, but they were ashamed of the 'jade'. 'Jade' Xia stabilized his mind and said, "Okay, don't make fun of me, you will have it in the future." Now let's get down to business. ”

Everyone was busy and solemn. 'Yu' Xia said: "The county lord is so good to us, if those sisters in our palace know, they can't be envious to death." We left the palace this time, and the future was uncertain. I don't know how it ended yet, but now it seems. It turned out to be a piece of light, which was all a gift from the county lord. We must know how to repay Entu, work hard, and be loyal. ”

Everyone agreed in unison.

'Jade' Xia said: "Now the county lord has given us some work, we must not only do a good job, but also teach the apprentices well, and we can't let the original embroidery girls in the palace say that those of us who came out of the palace can't do it." ”

Everyone is busy saying that it must be.

'Jade' Xia took the burden in her hand and said: "The county lord has a big job here, which is a set of dresses, which is to be used after preparing to go to Nanyang, and this is to be 'fine', cumbersome, atmospheric, and noble, so it may take more time and more people to 'spend'." So, I thought, it's up to the four of us sisters who went to Nanyang to do it together. If you can't finish it in a month, you can continue to do it on the road. I should be able to do it when I get to Nanyang. In addition to this dress, there are also several clothes from the county lord and the like. Although the weather is getting cooler now, I don't need to make big clothes for autumn and winter, because it's still very hot in the South Seas, so I still make summer clothes. It's easier to give this to the four of you sisters who stayed in the capital, okay?" ”

Everyone said yes, Cui Xi asked: "We often make this dress, aren't we all the dresses of the ladies in the palace?" It's just that there are many styles of this dress, what kind of does the county lord want? Is it made by grade? Or do you do it according to the county lord's preference? ”

'Yu' Xia said: "I have asked this a long time ago, Xia He said, we go to Nanyang, where the imperial court can't control it, and there is no need to do it according to the grade." But it must be done noble, beautiful, and must be atmospheric. On the way here just now, I have already asked Xia He, the county lord's preferences, the county lord's favorite color, and the type of pattern. In fact, the county lord's skin is white and tender, any kind of color 'color' can be worn brilliantly, and, so young, don't use the red and purple heavy 'color', you can use some light 'color', as long as we design more generous, it's good, I already have a draft before, a while, I'll draw it for you to see, let's discuss it again. ”

An embroidery lady said: "What style does this summer's clothes ask for, and what 'flower' type is embroidered?" ”

'Jade' Xia said: "This county lord did not say, however, I think that although the county lord does not have many requirements for these, but also a person who loves beauty, we will do the most popular style this year, and we must think of innovative ideas, so as to show that our skills are different, so, sisters, we must play twelve points of 'spirit' and do a good job, don't you hear?" In the county lord, it's not about seniority, it's about ability. Several of us have very poor families, or they won't send us to the palace to be palace 'women', so we have to make more money, and subsidize the family more, and we can get married in the future, and we must save some dowry for ourselves. Although the county lord will pay the dowry at that time, wouldn't it be better for us to save a little more ourselves? ”

Everyone praised it. "Before, I didn't even think about saving money. Because of the little money saved, I thought of giving it to my family. Now, I have 'gotten' my four younger sisters as apprentices, and they not only don't have to 'spend' the family's chewing, but also earn monthly money to subsidize the family. ”

Everyone laughed, and some people joked that it seemed that Cuixi was 'spring' and wanted to save a dowry, a man, and a marriage.

Cui Xi was not shy at all and said, "What's wrong with wanting to get married?" This is the most common thing for ordinary 'women', but what does it mean for us? Can our sisters in the palace marry in this life? Can the grandmothers who brought us get married in this life? ”

Everyone was laughing and laughing happily, but after listening to Cui Xi's words, there was no smile on their faces. Cui Xi said very much, they had no intention of marrying before, a palace 'girl', there can only be one man in a lifetime, and that is the emperor, but among these tens of thousands of palace 'women', there is only one emperor, where can it be their turn? I don't know how many 'women' of the family and the 'girl' children of the official eunuchs enter the palace every year? They are the lowest palace 'women', where can it be their turn. Moreover, their posture and 'color' are ordinary, and those who look good have long been selected to be the palace 'women' for the girls, they are just embroiderers who work every day.

Cui Xi continued: "Now we can not only get married, but also take care of the family, meet our families, and even send our parents to their deaths, which was unimaginable before." And that's not to mention, what kind of days are we living in the palace? Every day is scared, and if you are not careful, you will be involved in any struggle, and you don't know how you died. ”

Everyone was silent, they have all experienced a lot of this kind of thing, and even very good sisters were suddenly killed, suddenly disappeared, and the master who taught them was implicated, they also experienced ups and downs, and everyone shed tears when they thought of the sad place.

Cui Xi said while crying: "My sister, isn't Cui 'Jade' just an unknown death? I can't even look at it. This time I went home, and my family asked me what about my sister. Why hasn't I given my family a little money for so long? How do I say it? Are they still waiting for my sister to give the family a little money? My sister has long gone, and her bones must have turned to ashes. ”

Everyone knows Cui Xi's sister Cui 'jade', that is a personal 'fine', the best work, and people are also smart, but inexplicably, some people say that the clothes she made for a noble lady have bad 'flower' patterns, and the noble lady has a miscarriage, how is this possible? Has anyone had a miscarriage because of a bad 'flower' pattern? Many people in the embroidery room were 'got' out and killed, and many of them were missing, and many of the sisters who had a good relationship with them died in that incident.

'Jade' Xia said with tears in her eyes: "There are many secrets in the palace, we didn't dare to say it before, and we won't say it in the future, Cui 'Jade' is my good sister, we are the best, her work is much better than mine, but now we are separated by heaven and man, and we can't see each other in this life." In fact, even the sisters and masters in the palace, how many of them will be able to get a good death in the future? We are the luckiest, not only out of that cage, but also met such a good master, we must cherish it. You must live well, you must make good money. To support a family, to get married, to have children, to have many children, to have a happy life, to enjoy for our sisters who have no way to enjoy it. ”

Everyone had tears in their eyes. q――55565+dsuaahhh+24516324――>
