045.Patterns (1)

After Aunt Lu and Aunt Liu left, Carambola handed over three taels of silver and the remaining thirty-five dollars to grandma. Grandma thought about it, and only put three taels of silver away, saying that she had saved it and returned it to Qingcang, and gave the rest to star fruit.

"Grandma doesn't have a place to spend money at home, so you should take it, in case you go to town again, maybe you can use it." Grandma said.

"No need grandma, you still put it away, when I use it, I'll ask you again." The big eyes of the star fruit flickered, and she looked very innocent, but she actually had her own thoughts in her heart.

She felt that it was better to put the money with her grandmother, although she would not spend it indiscriminately.

In the past, although she was a typical "moonlight clan", at that time she had no worries about food and clothing under the wing of her parents, and had a stable and favorite job, and now, there are still many places to use money, open source is very important, but you also have to learn to throttle. When conditions do not allow, she still knows how to be diligent and thrifty.

But after all, she is still a child, and it is very uneasy and even a little weird to manage her finances by herself, although she has this ability, but she doesn't want to show it so obviously.

What's more, she's still in debt!

As a thoughtful post-80s generation, she is not afraid of living in debt, but she still feels that she should return the silver to the kite as soon as possible. In any case, she was still very afraid of kites for the time being. She already owes him favors, if she owes him any more money, then if he makes up his mind to let Pei Yifan as a mortgage, she will not be able to keep Pei Yifan.

She didn't think she was a very selfless person, and she didn't have the great idea of trying to protect others with her immature shoulders, and as long as the danger these people faced was not caused by her, she wouldn't feel so guilty, and to put it bluntly, she was just trying to make peace of mind for herself.

Three days later, Brother Zhang was waiting at the entrance of the village again, and the panic and shadow of that day were swept away, and his face was indifferent.

Star fruit's eyes looked around, but she didn't see Ling Hongfei's shadow and another carriage, and immediately felt a lot more relaxed.

A few people arrived in the town and went straight to the "Decoration Pavilion", because the embroidery work taken three days ago had not been completed, so they did not bring it.

"Peach, you're here." When Aunt Liu saw the star fruit, she hurriedly greeted them warmly, but her face showed some embarrassment. "I've got to wait, man, I'm going to deliver the tricks, and I'm not back yet."

"It's okay aunt, we can wait." Carambola said quietly, sitting quietly on the small bench, but she couldn't help but think in her heart, I don't know what kind of clothes Aunt Liu received, she seems to be very picky, it seems that this embroidery work may not be easy to do.

Aunt Lu and Aunt Liu are obviously also worried.

"Sister-in-law Liu, who is that family, and why are you so finely picked?" Aunt Lu couldn't help but ask.

"Alas, it's not a family, but it's just ......"

"Mother, the guy who sent the tricks is back." The voice of the oxygen boy Liu Mingxuan interrupted Aunt Liu's words. It is said that this oxygen boy is indeed loud, and this voice is probably shouted in the yard.

"Let him come to the back hall." Aunt Liu went to the door and ordered.

After a while, the guy came over with a few tricks in his hand.

"Boss, the old ...... of the Spring Courtyard Mrs. said that the girls in her family did not like these tricks, let us change again, saying that as long as the girls like the tricks, she is willing to spend more silver, and said...... Also said...... If it weren't for the exquisite enough of our previous clothes, they wouldn't have customized them here, and if they couldn't find good patterns, they would ...... Only...... It's going to be a different one. ”

"Little brother." Star fruit has already understood, this custom-made clothes is not a lady from a big family, but a woman in a green house.

Star fruit has always had no prejudice against the ancient Qinglou women, but because there have been famous prostitutes such as "Su Xiaoxiao", "Chen Yuanyuan", "Liu Rushi" and "Li Shishi" in history, there is a curiosity about these women who have fallen into the dust. It's just that the girls in this "Manchun Courtyard" seem to be too hypocritical, and they can't pick out tricks for so long, I don't know if it's intentional embarrassment or other reasons.

The star fruit took the patterns handed over by the guy, and saw that they were all in the style of begging for picking, the colors were different, and the embroidery was also beautiful to the cuffs or skirts, but it was inevitable that it was a little ordinary.

Star fruit's heart moved slightly.

Thinking that those Qinglou women, who have fallen to the bottom of society, have a lot of bitterness and helplessness, and because there are countless men who are sincerely flattering, spending a lot of money to hold, it is inevitable that there will be a few arrogant people, although life is thinner than paper, but there are many people whose hearts are higher than the sky, and they will not want these ordinary people's tricks, even if they are commonly used by young ladies from large families, they may not be eye-catching.

"Auntie, why don't you let me go there with my buddy...... The family took a look and drew a few tricks for them in front of them to see if it was satisfactory. Carambola put those tricks on the table and looked at Aunt Liu tentatively.

"Yes, sister-in-law Liu, we peaches, the painting is still quite haode." Aunt Liu also said.

The painting of star fruit, Aunt Lu has also seen it after passing the wheat, although some can't see what the painting is, but there are a few, it is still very good-looking, so there should be no problem in painting two tricks. Besides, they have gradually become accustomed to the surprise that this girl brings them, but they don't think it's a big deal.

"Peach, this ......" Aunt Liu was a little embarrassed.

Their family is a businessman, naturally they are mainly to make money, they are all guests, and they don't have to care about the identity of the other party, but she still has some scruples about letting a little girl from a white family go to that kind of place.

It's just, think about the clothes are cut, if you lose this deal because of a few tricks, you have to lose a lot, not to mention, the most important thing is that this "Manchun Courtyard" is also an old customer in the store, if they let them go to someone else's house this time, then the business of this "Manchun Courtyard" in the future will be lost.

Moreover, this time, I heard that the dresses they made were for the girls to participate in the Oiran Contest. This seems to be a bit extravagant competition, not only to spread the fame of the various green houses, but also an opportunity for the embroidery shops and jewelry stores of each cloth village to show their talents.

The last Oiran Contest was three years ago, and the clothes worn by the top Oiran were made by the "Brocade Embroidery Village", and the "Brocade Embroidery Village" quickly became the largest cloth village in Mizhen. The stakes are not as simple as a transaction.

"Auntie, it's okay." Carambola looked at Aunt Lu and Aunt Liu, knowing that the two of them didn't understand what the "Manchun Courtyard" was talking about, so they also decided to hide it from them, so as not to let grandma know that she was uneasy. "Otherwise, you can go with me, there is nothing to worry about."

"It's fine." Aunt Liu thought about it for a while, and finally nodded, in fact, in her heart, she didn't have much hope for the tricks drawn by a little girl, but the matter has come to this, and she can only take one step at a time.
