Chapter 81 The Distinguished Guest surnamed Li
The days always fly by, like a jumping light, which can slip through the fingers and cannot be stopped. More than ten days have passed in a blink of an eye, Qin Daixin has also experienced the first Spring Festival in Dayong, although she was not interested in traditional festivals before, but she also knows a lot of festival customs in the north and south, but after arriving in Dayong, she was dumbfounded, the customs here are completely different from those she knew in the past.
She remembered that Ruyi seemed to mention a few words to her last time, but she thought she was cumbersome, so she didn't remember it, and now she has the heart to ask, and she is afraid that someone will see any flaws, so she simply doesn't ask anything, just obeys everyone's arrangement, and only tastes it once! After this experience, won't she understand everything in the coming year?
On the twenty-first day of the lunar month, Mrs. He personally sent eight sets of brand-new clothes inside and out, the clothes were all good materials, including an apricot yellow brocade sleeve jacket with a dark green embroidered auspicious moire brocade skirt; pomegranate saffron brocade Wanfu small jacket with a tunic skirt with the same color tassel falling to the ground; The royal blue carved silk wide-sleeved jacket is matched with a small jacket with crescent white engraved silk piping edges; There is a pearl white soft satin silk jacket embroidered with red plums to suit the scene, and a crimson dark pattern heald skirt with bat wraps; There is a lake-blue plain flower jacket with a white jade button at the neckline, and a pleated butterfly skirt with silk spring flowers sewn on; There is a bright purple and red plain jacket embroidered with a knot pattern of the same color on the chest placket, and a wide placket long skirt embroidered with a hundred flowers; There is a lotus lotus color short engraved silk jacket embroidered with a pot collar gold silk and a blue tapestry high-waisted long skirt, and a set of dark pattern jacket skirts like smoke and fog, the upper body is a small jacket with sleeves and waist, only the collar and cuffs are embroidered with common flower knots, and the hem of the dress is embroidered with gold embroidery thread with large peonies; The lower body is a long tunic skirt of the same color and pattern, the front hem is embroidered with peony, and the jacket is different from the gold thread embroidered edge, four or five different shades of red embroidery bottom, the waist is also decorated with a tassel, with the swing of the human body, the tassel will also sway out of different postures, delicate and abnormal. In addition, there are ten pairs of embroidered shoes with different colors and patterns, of which six pairs are made into the style of boots that Qin Daixin likes.
When the clothes were sent to Changxiaoyuan, not only Ruyi, Chunli and other girls were dazzled, even Qin Daixin was a little surprised, these eight sets of dresses are exquisite, fine workmanship, gorgeous patterns, not at all ordinary craftsmanship can be made, admiring He Auntie's craftsmanship at the same time, Qin Daixin is also sighing, the ancients like to wear red and green, they don't know what "simple beauty" is, and it's hard why the aunt thinks that these dresses are elegant and plain!
"Miss, these clothes are so beautiful, Madame is so generous this time, even the smoke and rain brocade of the 'Jade Weaving Workshop' is willing to use it to make clothes for you. Aunt He said, this jade weaving workshop is the No. 1 silk village in the capital, and it is all bought and sold by dignitaries, and I am afraid that a horse of smoke and rain brocade will cost hundreds of taels of silver. ”
Qin Daixin knew that she was talking about the set of clothes embroidered with peony patterns, although she also felt that it was a little different, but she never thought that it would be so unusual.
Ruyi helped put the clothes into the cage box separately, and said: "Our wife also got such a horse by chance, I heard that money alone can't buy it." ”
At this moment, a girl outside said, "The secretary asked someone to send jewelry to Miss." ”
Ruyi hurriedly put the clothes into the cage box, put them away carefully, and complained: "Why is it as if they have been discussed, and they are in a hurry to come on the same day?" As he spoke, he didn't dare to slack off, and went out to greet him like a gust of wind.
Qin Dai's heart flashed, and the mother-in-law sent by the secretary came in with Ruyi, first gave Qin Daixin a salute, and then sent the girls to present the tray in front of Qin Daixin, and lifted the red silk on the face one by one, revealing several red lacquer boxes with copper nails at the four corners.
"Third Miss, this is the jewelry for the ladies in the house this year, a total of five sets, you see, if there is nothing wrong, let the girls record it in the book, and the slave will go back."
Qin Dai saw that this person was only about forty years old, and he spoke quickly, he was a cool one, and he couldn't make any mistakes when he thought about it, so he didn't look at it, and asked Ruyi to take a red envelope and reward her.
The purse is heavy, because it is almost the New Year, so the reward is more than usual, and Ruyi put a small silver ingot weighing five taels in it earlier.
The woman is also a shrewd person, she knows the weight of it when she starts, and she has obtained a lot of foreign wealth, so she is naturally very happy and leaves with a thousand thanks.
Ruyi sent the mother-in-law out, and opened the jewelry boxes one by one for Qin Dai's heart.
The box is filled with new jewelry heads, all of them are shining, there are all kinds of gemstone flowers and butterflies, flower style gold and silver hairpins, jade earrings the size of white rice grains, pearl earrings, agate earrings piled up a whole box, not to mention gold and silver chains, jade bracelets, there are four or five pearl chains of different colors alone, fortunately, Qin Dai's heart has not yet arrived, most of these things are lively and exquisite, but they are generous, although they are valuable jewelry, they are not old-fashioned, which shows that their workmanship is exquisite and the style is unique.
"Miss, these Dongben are very valuable, you haven't had so much jewelry in previous years!" Ruyi is a little confused, what's going on this year?
Even Ruyi, this girl, feels abnormal, it seems that something is indeed going on at home.
"How's that going?" She doesn't value these things outside her body, and her reaction is naturally flat. In contrast, she cares more about the secrets behind these unusual things.
Ruyi was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that a few days ago, the young lady asked her to go to Fang Wanru's courtyard to find the girls to walk around.
"Miss, those girls are tight-mouthed, they can't ask anything, Begonia is even more sophisticated, she has been bypassed after asking a few times, I didn't dare to ask again, I'm afraid that these people will see something, but it was a mother-in-law who watched the corner door revealed a news, maybe it has something to do with things in this house."
"Oh?" Qin Dai's heart was interested, and asked Ruyi to talk to her about the matter carefully.
It turned out that after Ruyi got Qin Daixin's instructions, she went to Fang Wanru's yard to talk to those little girls, sometimes to borrow tricks, and sometimes to pretend to pass by, in order to be able to get some things about the house from the mouths of these little girls, she knew in her heart that this matter was eighty percent related to her own young lady, so she asked a few times, but she didn't think about it, but these girls didn't reveal any useful information, and they didn't know if Fang Wanru was strict in discipline, or they didn't know. After Ruyi failed and returned, she thought about it a few times, and always felt that no matter how strict the discipline in the house was, she couldn't block the mouths of those private discussions, and those girls really didn't know, so she felt a little calmer, and took advantage of Qin Dai's heart to ask for peace, and talked to the big girl Begonia a few times, who knew that not only could she not ask anything, but also almost exposed her purpose, so scared that she no longer dared to inquire about the news.
Coincidentally, one day she went out to return home, when she came back from the corner gate, she heard a few mothers-in-law chatting together, originally Ruyi was not very interested in this kind of gossip news of the east family and the west family, how do you know that she overheard a paragraph, but let her hear a little eyebrows, her heart was suddenly happy, and she stopped at the moment and chatted with these mothers-in-law. She is the big girl next to Miss Fuli, and she is also a figure with a head and a face, if she is usually placed, she may not take a look at these mothers-in-law, but now thinking about the errand that Miss handed over to her, she forced out a three-point smile, and she was close to the mother-in-law. Those mothers-in-law were flattered, and they all stammered to get close to her.
Ruyi pretended to ask casually: "What did you say just now, why is it so lively, just tell me about it." ”
These mothers-in-law didn't know her careful thoughts, so they learned what she just said from beginning to end.
It turned out that Mrs. Zhao, who was watching the corner gate, had a son who was with Qin Congwen, and everyone made fun of her on weekdays, although her son had been with the master for a few years, but the master couldn't even remember his name. Mrs. Zhao is not annoyed, she just feels that her son has given herself a long face, although she has not mixed up her appearance yet, but one day she will come out.
In order to prove that her son is special, she told such a thing.
That day, her son followed Qin Congwen to see the shop, and met a person, this person was young, looking like a rich son, and he was followed by a bearded martial artist, this young man was originally buying things, I heard that our master's surname was Qin, so he came over to say hello, Qin Congwen is a shrewd businessman, although he didn't know this son, but seeing that he was dressed like an ordinary person, he said a few polite words to him, how do you know that this son didn't know what he said in Qin Congwen's ear, Qin Congwen's face changed greatly, as if he didn't believe it, and seemed to be surprised, The expression on her face was wonderful, and she hurriedly instructed her son to go to Zuixianglou to set a good table on the table, and invited this son to eat wine, and this son rewarded her son with a piece of silver during the banquet, saying that the wine and food were set well, who knew that the master was happy, and he also rewarded her son with a piece of silver, and said, "Li Gongzi said well, naturally true." ”
As soon as Mrs. Zhao was happy, she couldn't hold back when she spoke, and said: "After the son surnamed Li left, the master drank a few more glasses, and only after he was slightly drunk did he let my son help out of the restaurant, and muttered a few words, my son couldn't hear it clearly, but it sounded like there were guests at home during the New Year." Although my son is not the master's henchman, he finally saw a big scene. Mrs. Zhao was smug in and out of her words, and she didn't notice Ruyi's face at all.
"Miss, this happened after you came back from danger." Ruyi is sure that this son, surnamed Li, must have something to do with the house.
Could it be that this Li Gongzi really has anything to do with him? Qin Dai thought about it for a long time, but she didn't understand what kind of character this son surnamed Li was, so she just let it go! When the distinguished guest comes to the door, he will know.
