Chapter 29: Let it be given to you
Shu Yao was also attracted by this set as soon as he entered the store, the color of those silk threads is novel and beautiful, and shiny, if it is placed in the "color enhancement grid" of the mahogany box, how beautiful will it be?
Shu Yao was already thinking in her mind about what kind of pattern to embroider in which color and what kind of effect it would have.
In his previous life, Shu Yao also used this silk thread from Yuncaifang when he used "flowing color embroidery" embroidery to help Xue Minglang dot in the capital, but the price is naturally much higher than now, especially the price of this preferential set.
Shu Yao also knew that Pei Shaoqing, the eldest young master of Yuncaifang, was particularly sensitive to color, and was a genius in dyeing silk and painting, and at the age of twelve or thirteen, he created his own secret recipe for dyeing silk, and the dyed silk threads were colorful, not only many colors were not available in other houses, but also particularly brilliant.
After five or six years, Yuncaifang has opened almost all over the Great Zhou, and the distinctive quality of silk thread and exquisite and special embroidery are their two major highlights, but the price is also skyrocketing.
It's a pity that the Pei family is too ambitious, and they are not satisfied after being the biggest imperial merchant in the Great Zhou, and after the Pei family's daughter Pei Yanran became the side concubine of the second prince, she actually participated in the battle for the throne and fully supported the second prince. In the end, the second prince was defeated, and the Pei family also overturned overnight.
Of course, these are not Shu Yao's concerns, but it's a pity that the secret recipe for dyeing silk disappeared with Pei Shaoqing's death.
After a while, when she "learned" embroidery on the bright side, she came over to buy more silk threads of various kinds and stored them in the mahogany box, well, she also had to buy some cheap silk threads from other houses, and then compared how much difference there was after "adding color" in the mahogany box.
Shu Yao was thinking about the green bamboo basket in his hand for thousands of miles, and Zhou, who didn't know when Lu Dao came over, suddenly grabbed the basket with his hand, and whispered to Shujie: "Yao girl hasn't even learned how to hold a needle, what are you doing with this?" I gave it to Qing'er. ”
The guy who received Shujie's brothers and sisters was very disgusted with Zhou's who had a pair of empty shelves every time he came to the store, picked and picked for a long time, and complained a lot, but didn't buy much (and they all picked the cheapest ones), and at this moment, seeing Shujie's three frowning, and thinking that their relationship should not be good from the previous phlegm, for fear that Zhou's would stir up the business and drive away his guests, so he unceremoniously helped: "This lady, didn't you say that this kit is a showcase, and it looks worthless?" Now there is only this one set left, and the little girl has taken a fancy to it, so why should you compete with a child? ”
As soon as the man's words came out, and the voice was quite loud, the people in the store looked at it again and again, and there was a thick contempt between their eyebrows.
Shuqing's face was so red that she was about to drip blood, how could she have such a vulgar and stupid mother? I wonder if this will bring her reputation? Lu's mother always emphasized to her the importance of her daughter's reputation, especially now that their family is in the middle of the road, and although her fiancé Guo family is not a famous family, it is also a scholarly family, if she is ruined by her mother, won't she be disliked by the Guo family?
Lu's mother is Shuqing's aunt Xia Ruoxue's nurturing mother who gave her and has been with Shuqing since she was six years old.
Zhou finally still had a glimmer of self-esteem, and did not let Shu Yao "give" the suit to Shu Qing in public. Of course, more importantly, her daughter Qing'er and her two sons must not lose face and miss their future.
"There's always a first-come, first-come, right? I took a fancy to this kit first, but I thought about it a little more and haven't bought it yet, and they are my nieces and nephews, they are all a family, what are you willing to let us do about you? At this time, Zhou hoped that Shu Yao, a dead girl, would insist on refusing to "let it", so that she could put down this expensive flat basket. Of course, or Shujie is more interesting, it is better to buy it directly and give it to Shuqing for the sake of face. Eighty-eight taels of silver! She didn't want to take it out herself.
Seeing Zhou's flickering eyes, Shu Yao secretly sneered, pulled Shujie's sleeve, and said extremely "well-behaved": "Big brother, since my aunt and cousin like it, I don't want it, let's buy the others, let my aunt buy this kit for my cousin." ”
Shujie nodded: "Big brother, let's give them this, and my sister will pick the others." ”
The shopkeeper who was standing on the other side to entertain other guests came over: "Little girl, I just have a set there, I want to give it to a friend's girl as a birthday gift, let it be given to you first, anyway, birthday gifts, you can also give other ones." ”
Shu Yao thanked happily: "Thank you, Uncle Shopkeeper." ”
Zhou was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "Brother Jie, I didn't bring ......"
Shuqing secretly grabbed Zhou's shirt, grabbed in front of her and said, "Brother Jie, sister Yao'er, thank you very much." Mother, we have to hurry up to buy a birthday gift for Aunt Guo. "Knowing her mother Mo Ruonu, she knew that Zhou wanted to "borrow" money from Shujie, but didn't she see so many pairs of eyes staring at the play around? Because of the "secret recipe" of tofu, their Xia Mansion has become a joke in the eyes of many people, if her mother makes trouble today, the Guo family will come to the door to withdraw from the marriage.
Shu Qing said as she took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from the purse on her waist and handed it to the guy, it was the red envelope that Ruoxue specially brought to her when she sent someone to give her a New Year's gift to Xia Mansion during the Chinese New Year this year, and she wanted to use it to buy a birthday gift for Guo Jinnan's mother today.
Zhou saw that Shu Qing was like this, and he didn't say anything, but he glared at Shu Yao fiercely from the angle of his back, but he was stunned for a moment with Shu Yao's cold, mocking eyes, and then looked at the past, but Shu Yao returned to his well-behaved appearance, Zhou rubbed his eyes, and he was dazzled? Also, how can a six-year-old girl have such cold eyes?
Walking out of Yuncaifang, Zhou complained in a low voice: "You kid, you ...... such an expensive thing"
Shuqing interrupted Zhou's words with a pretty little face: "Okay mother, that's the silver I saved myself, which was originally brought out to buy gifts for Aunt Guo, and now I embroider two handkerchiefs with my own hands, and then embroider a pit screen. ”
She complained in her heart, why is she not her aunt's child, but the daughter of Xia Fu, her father and mother are so unlucky, especially her mother, her nobility is gone, her arrogance is gone, and her brain is becoming more and more inspired, where is she like an aunt, beautiful and shrewd, and she will be a man, even if her mother's family is defeated, she is still so beautiful in her husband's family, and she is more flattering than Mrs. Shizi in front of the Duchess of the country.
Zhou still wanted to say something, but when he saw Shuqing's sad look, he couldn't help but shut up. Although her little daughter is a girl, she is the most smart and clever, and she looks like a flower, which is very liked by her sister-in-law Xia Ruoxue. Xia Ruoxue asked Xiangshi to show Shuqing his life, saying that Shuqing's birthday is good, and in the future, he will not only be rich and rich, but also be able to prosper his husband and son, and bring his parents and brothers.
Although Shuqing's future husband's family is not rich and noble, it can be regarded as a noble scholarly family, if Guo Jinnan can be named on the gold list in the future, it will be a great help to their Xia Mansion and Shuqing's two elder brothers.
Because of this, Xia Linyu and Zhou's have always been the most fond of Shuqing, and all the treatment is no worse than that of the two brothers. Zhou's even more hopes that Shuqing will make up for the shortcomings and grievances in his life, and the young Shuqing is more shrewd than herself under the teaching of Lu's mother, and she, a mother, often can't help but look at her daughter's eyes.
