Chapter Forty-Eight: Butterfly Gifts
After lunch, Wang Fu still refused to go back to his room, so Su Muqing could only take Wang Fu to his courtyard to chat for a while.
"Fu'er, have you ever inquired about the person of the Yushang book, and how many concubines there are in the family?" Su Muqing asked.
Wang Fu shook his head and said: "I only know that Yushangshu's wife is the daughter of Su Yushi, and she was very favored by Yushangshu, and later when I was drinking tea outside, I heard from the people in the teahouse that Mrs. Yu had a strange disease, and her body smelled, and she vomited Yushangshu." ”
Su Muqing looked at Wang Fu in shock and said, "That's the case." ”
Wang Fu nodded and said, "Yes, the people in the teahouse are still Yu Shangshu, so they were stimulated to carry two concubines, and they were all big maids beside Mrs. Yu. ”
Su Muqing began to ponder when she heard this, but unfortunately she was not familiar with this cousin, and she didn't know much about the people around her. If you understand, you will be able to know the preferences of Yushangshu.
"Sister-in-law?" Wang Fu saw that Su Muqing was stunned and didn't speak, so he shouted.
Su Muqing came back to her senses and said with a smile: "I don't know what the maid next to this Jade Lady looks like, and I don't know what kind of woman that Jade Shangshu likes." ”
Wang Fu nodded knowingly and said, "Sister-in-law is not unreasonable. ”
Su Muqing continued: "You also know my relationship with the Su family, I am Su Yushi's distant niece, so I know a little bit about that Jade Lady." That Mrs. Yu was a talented woman in Beijing back then, not only beautiful as a flower, but also knew poetry and songs. I heard you say this, but I think the problem between Madame Yu and Yu Shangshu is still the smell on their bodies. Therefore, I suggest that you dress according to Madame Yu, and then learn more poetry and practice more calligraphy with your brother. If you have seven points like the Jade Lady back then, I think you will probably be. ”
Wang Fu happily asked, "Is it true?" ”
Su Muqing nodded and said, "It should be so, after all, a person's preferences are not so easy to change." ”
Wang Fu asked again: "Sister-in-law, how much do you think I am different from Mrs. Yu?" ”
Su Muqing almost wanted to say that it was 108,000 miles away when she heard this, but in order not to hit Wang Fu's confidence, she said euphemistically: "Mrs. Yu has a gentle personality, she always speaks softly, she never takes big strides when she walks, and she always looks like she is supporting the wind and weak willows. I used to meet Madame Jade a few times when I was a girl, she was very good at dressing, and a dress on her was not only elegant, but also cleverly outlined the slenderness that a woman should have. But you still don't think she's cheesy. Therefore, there were many people who had a crush on Lady Jade when she was young. ”
Wang Fu looked down at his clothes, then immediately got up and pulled Su Muqing and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go buy clothes now, and the rest will be changed slowly." ”
Su Muqing's expression was a little stiff, because she had already given Wang Fu some pocket money this month, but thinking that if she could marry out early, there would be one less person in the family to eat, so she said fiercely: "Fu'er, I don't think you need to buy jewelry, I have a few more elegant ones here, and I can buy a few more clothes." ”
Wang Fu nodded and said, "Listen to my sister-in-law." ”
Su Muqing felt a lot more comfortable when she saw Wang Fu's well-behaved appearance, so she took down the tinkling pearl on Wang Fu's head, replaced it with a hosta carved lotus, and wiped some of the makeup off Wang Fu's face. ”
Wang Fu asked unconfidently, "Sister-in-law, do you think it looks good?" ”
Su Muqing said with a smile: "How can it not be good-looking, it used to look too mature, but now it is a small jasper, it is really good-looking." Alright, let's go shopping for clothes. ”
Seeing Su Muqing say this, Wang Fu finally found his confidence, his face flushed unnaturally, and said timidly: "Sister-in-law, let's go." ”
Su Muqing looked at Wang Fu's changes in surprise and felt that this Wang Fu was really a little smart, and now he was completely driven away because of the depression of having to spend money again, so he hurriedly pulled Wang Fu out.
The carriage slowly stopped at the door of Nishang Cloth Village, and when Su Muqing and Wang Fu were about to walk in, a familiar voice came from behind.
"Miss Wang." Xiaoqin originally planned to go out to buy some snacks for her young lady, but she ran into Wang Fu, so she stepped forward to say hello.
"It turned out to be Miss Xiaoqin." Wang Fu stepped forward and called down.
Xiaoqin was a little surprised to find that Wang Fu seemed to be a little different, and then couldn't help but ask curiously: "Miss Wang, is this going to Nishang Cloth Village?" ”
Wang Fu nodded and said, "I'll accompany my sister-in-law to buy clothes." ”
Xiaoqin seemed to feel something, but she couldn't feel it for sure, so she said: "It's better to come to our butterfly embroidery workshop, our family has a few that are more suitable for Miss Wang, and they are not expensive." ”
"This ......" Just as Wang Fu hesitated, Su Muqing stepped forward and said, "Since this is the case, then please trouble Miss Xiaoqin to lead the way." Xiaoqin smiled and took the two back to the butterfly embroidery workshop.
"Two girls, please sit down in this private room, and I'll go get your clothes." Saying that, Xiaoqin turned around and went to find Ning Die.
"Miss, I, I don't know if I made it, I, I just met Wang Fu at the gate of the Nishang Cloth Village, and I saw that she wanted to buy clothes and brought her over." Xiaoqin found Ning Die in the wardrobe, so she said with some uncertainty.
Ning Die picked up a few pieces of clothes and threw them into Xiaoqin's arms, patted Xiaoqin's head and said, "It's okay, since we have set up this bureau, it's better to be a good person to the end." Let's go. If it happens, I still want to find Run'er to get a reward. Hearing this, Xiaoqin breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and hurriedly followed Ning Die.
"Keep you two waiting. I'm the owner here. Ning Die said as she walked in.
Wang Fu was almost stunned, there was such a woman with thousands of manners, gentle and charming, capable and not vulgar, what a woman with eight faces. Su Muqing saw that Wang Fu didn't speak, so she stepped forward and said, "Miss Ning Die, I am Su Muqing, Fu'er's sister-in-law. The main reason why I came here today is that I want to buy some new clothes for Fu'er. On the way just now, Miss Xiaoqin said that your store has clothes suitable for Fu'er, so we came. ”
Ning Die said with a smile: "That's right, we have a few girl series here that are very suitable for Miss Wang, and a few lady series that are also in line with Mrs. Wang's temperament." We are all in the sample trial stage of these clothes, buy one get one free, why don't you all try it? Without waiting for Ning Die to finish speaking, Xiaoqin quickly put a few clothes on the table, embroidered them exquisitely, and the chic cut made Wang Fu and Su Muqing stunned.
Ning Die saw that the two of them didn't speak and didn't get angry, she was very used to everyone's expressions when they looked at this dress. So he still smiled and said, "We'll wait outside, and you'll tell us when you've tried." After speaking, Ning Die didn't wait for the reaction of several people, turned around and walked out.
"Sister-in-law, the clothes here are so beautiful. And we happened to meet them to make sample clothes, so we were too lucky, right? Wang Fu couldn't put it down.
Su Muqing also couldn't take her eyes off it, the clothes in the Butterfly Clothes Workshop were not something that people from a small official family like her could buy, so she didn't bother to think about more, so she directly picked up a few of her own clothes and went to the curtain to change her clothes. Wang Fu saw Su Muqing walk in, and he stopped being verbose, and walked directly into the curtain next door with his clothes.
Soon Su Muqing changed her first clothes and walked out, and Wang Fu also walked out, and then the air in the entire room condensed, and I saw that the two of them were staring at each other's clothes in a daze, until the sound of Ning Die and the guests outside talking, and the two of them reacted.
"Sister-in-law, this aqua mopping smoke cage lotus group is really suitable for you, it's really beautiful. It's like wearing a real lotus flower on the body. Wang Fu couldn't help but exclaim again and again.
"You are also very good-looking, although it is a simple white dress, but this plum blossom from the skirt up to the chest, it is really beautiful, you see your cuffs are plum blossoms. Fu'er wears it on her body, and the whole person has a lot of aura. Su Muqing also praised sincerely.
"Is it true? Sister-in-law? Wang Fu was very happy when he heard Su Muqing's praise.
"It's true, I didn't expect our Fu'er to be so beautiful." Su Muqing nodded and said.
"Then sister-in-law, do we still try these clothes?" Wang Fu asked embarrassedly, because he also knew that the clothes in the Butterfly Embroidery Workshop were very expensive, so he looked at Su Muqing with some uncertainty.
Su Muqing covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, I am already very satisfied with this dress, but Fu'er is different, Fu'er is a girl who is about to get married, how can I have a few clothes?" You can look at what you like and try it. ”
"Sister-in-law, you are really good, Fu'er will buy a lot of clothes for her sister-in-law when she has money in the future." Wang Fu hugged Su Muqing's arm and said with a smile.
"Then I'll wait for you to buy it for me, okay, let's go." Su Muqing picked a few pieces and put them in Wang Fu's hands and urged.
So Wang Fu took the clothes and ran behind the curtain, and then wore all the clothes Su Muqing selected for Su Muqing to see, and finally Su Muqing helped Wang Fu pick out a water-blue embroidered white magnolia gauze dress with a white light gauze on the outside, as well as a light pink high-waisted long skirt, and another tender yellow shirt and a tender yellow pleated skirt embroidered with a hundred butterflies.
Wang Fu asked with some uncertainty: "Sister-in-law, do we buy so much?" Lots of money, right? ”
Su Muqing nodded and said, "It should be, but don't you fall in love with someone, you can't go out shabbyly, besides, people are still big officials." It's okay. Later, we'll let Miss Ning Die give her a little cheaper. ”
As he spoke, the two walked out of the private room and saw Ning Die standing at the door waiting for the two of them.
Seeing the two of them coming out, Ning Die asked, "Have you chosen both?" ”
Su Muqing took the clothes and said, "Yes, Miss Ning Die, this is the clothes I want to buy, and the other three belong to my family, so wrap them separately." ”
Ning Die looked at it and said, "Okay, please wait." Xiaoqin, you go and wrap up your clothes. Then Ning Die crackled and took the abacus, and said with a smile: "It's exactly one hundred taels of silver, but I look at Mrs. Wang's figure is also rare and good, I have a dress here that few people can wear on weekdays, so it is better to give it to Mrs. Wang today." It's also kind of making friends. As she spoke, Ning Die took out a slim emerald green smoke cage and a large daffodil dress from another cabinet.
