Chapter 60: Clouds and Mists Are Not Enough
How can you use what your aunt gave you?
This was said by the old lady Liu.
I'm afraid it's too late to go out of the house to buy it now, right?
This was said by Wen Qingzhu.
That's really...... Thank you Little Eleven.
These words were said by the eldest lady Wan.
When Wan said this, he lowered his head.
But Wen Qingzhu could see clearly, and Wan's knuckles were a little whiter.
Wen Bogui is a master, Wan's housekeeper, and his face is infinite.
But the Wen family gave most of the family property to Wen Jihua and the Yang family, and they didn't seem to get anything, but in fact, they lived better than anyone else.
At least a cloth like Yunjin that costs ten taels of silver a horse, Wen Qingxin can take out two horses as soon as he said casually.
How could Wan not hate.
Obviously, she is the housewife, and she can't even get an idea of two better fabrics.
There has always been a law for the money in the public account.
It's not that Wan didn't say that the consumption at home was too big, but Liu felt that Wan didn't manage the family well.
Wen Qingzhu couldn't see that the contradictions of the Wen family were increasing day by day.
Soon, Fuyuan sent the fabric over.
came with him, as well as the fourth lady Yang.
Before she could enter the house, her voice came in.
"Mother! Xin'er is going to Lei's house, so she has to dress up well. ”
After Yang entered the house, she asked the maid behind her to bring up two pieces of cloth.
It's not Yunjin, but it's a more valuable cloud.
When Liu Shi saw it, he immediately shook his head: "It's just a trip to Lei's house, and it's not appropriate to use cloud and mist silk." ”
The Yang family doesn't care so much, it's rare for her family to go to the family, and she can't lose her identity.
"Mother, this cloud and mist silk is not very valuable, the Lei family is a noble family, Xin'er and they go, they can't lose the face of the Wen family, not to mention, the Lei family has never seen any materials, it must be that this cloud and mist silk they are all used for daily clothes."
"It seems that it is also, the third lady Lei came that day, and the clothes on her body were not very ordinary." Liu nodded suddenly, somewhat convinced.
"That's not it, I've also found a tailor, I usually make clothes for Xin'er, this material, I just sent it over to my mother, and if it's no problem, let the tailor do it immediately."
Liu glanced at Wan Shi next to him, and said with some hesitation: "But the tailor here, your sister-in-law has already found it." ”
"Have you found your sister-in-law?" Yang was surprised.
Wan Shi stood beside him, still with a gentle smile on his face: "Since the fourth brother and sister have also found a tailor, let's use the fourth brother and sister's, after all, Xiao Eleven's clothes are made by them." ”
"That'...... I'm really embarrassed, let my sister-in-law run for nothing. Yang said sorry, but the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.
"Since there is nothing to do, the daughter-in-law will retreat first." Wan couldn't stay any longer, so he resigned from Liu.
Liu nodded: "Then you go and get busy." ”
When the Wan family retreated, the Yang family was even more unscrupulous to discuss the matter of the new clothes with the Liu family.
Wen Qingzhu, who was sitting next to him, had been completely ignored by the three of them.
She didn't care, though, and she looked at the door.
Thinking back to the time when Wan turned around just now, jealousy flashed in his eyes.
In the following days, I am afraid that her fourth aunt will have to suffer.
Compared with intelligence and means, the Yang family is too inferior to the Wan family.
Over the years, if it weren't for the old lady and the Wen family's silver to rely on, the Yang family was afraid that there would not even be any bones left.
Inside the main house of Huayuan.
Wan sat on the small couch, endured the anger in his heart, and embroidered stitch by stitch.
Wen Qingfang heard that Wen Qingzhu was not going to Fengguo Temple with her, so she hurried over.
Seeing that Wan was embroidering, she was startled and hurriedly stepped forward: "Mother, be careful of your hands!" ”
Wan is a concubine, and she has not been proficient in female celebrity since she was a child, and she is more proficient in housekeeping and financial management.
It's just that after marrying into the Wen family, the old lady Liu used her to be a bad woman and rubbed her off.
Later, as long as she was angry, she began to embroider to calm her mind.
"Fang'er is here." When Wan saw his daughter, he was in a slightly better mood and put down the needle in his hand.
Wen Qingfang walked over and took the needlework basket away.
"Mother, didn't you go to discuss with your grandmother about making clothes? Grandmother, is she embarrassed for you again? ”
Wan Shi was very pleased with Wen Qingfang's sensibility: "It's not your grandmother, it's your fourth aunt, I heard that Wen Shiyi was going to Lei's house, and took two clouds and mist silk out to make clothes." ”
Hearing this, Wen Qingfang immediately frowned: "It's just to go to the Lei family, can you use the cloud and mist silk?!" ”
Yunwu silk is a special product of Suzhou, and there is a fixed number of those sent to the capital every year.
The Wen family did not prepare this kind of clothing for sixty taels and one horses.
First, the price is too expensive, and secondly, if you want to buy it, you have to find a relationship to buy it.
Wan Shi thought of the Yang family's arrogant face just now, and said disdainfully: "The Yang family is two points worse than the Wen family, and the people I know are not Erer, where can Wen Shiyi go to a hairpin family like the Lei family, if they don't prepare well, how can they appear arrogant." ”
Wen Qingfang didn't care how expensive the clothes Wen Qingxin was wearing, she wondered how Wen Qingzhu knew Mrs. Lei?
There was no news at all.
"Mother, I heard that the third lady Lei is a friend of the Lu family, which family was it before?" Wen Qingfang suddenly thought of Wen Qingzhu's smile yesterday.
Soon after nightfall, Fuyuan brought the finished clothes.
The person who came was Yang's personal maid Danxin.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the clothes in the tray and instructed Lu Tao, "Take it." ”
Green Tao stepped forward, took out a purse and handed it to Danxin: "Thank you for your hard work, Sister Danxin." ”
"You're welcome." Danxin gave her the clothes and skillfully put away the purse.
After weighing the weight, the portion is not bad.
Dan Xin said goodbye satisfied.
Green Tao put his clothes on the table, flipped through them, and said a little strangely: "Didn't you say that it was made of cloud silk?" How did Yunjin do it? ”
The corners of Wen Qingzhu's mouth hooked.
Of course, the Yang family is reluctant to give her the cloud and mist silk, although the fourth room is rich, but the fourth uncle has no power.
This cloud is still a bit precious.
Early the next morning, Wen Qingzhu went to the door early and waited.
Wen Mingyu and Wen Qingfang were also going out to Wanjia, so they met unexpectedly.
Wan came to see them off, and when he saw the clothes on Wen Qingzhu's body, he pulled the corners of his mouth.
Wen Qingfang naturally saw it too, and couldn't help but walk up.
"Seventh sister, your clothes are not made of cloud silk, right?"
Wen Qingzhu said with a natural expression: "It was made by Yunjin, and I want to thank the fourth aunt, she sent someone to help me do it." ”
Wen Qingfang looked behind Wen Qingzhu, and the Yang mother and daughter approached.
She pretended not to see it, and asked deliberately unknowingly: "But yesterday I heard that the fourth aunt wants to use cloud and mist silk to make clothes for you?" ”
Just then, Yang and Wen Qingxin walked over.
This sentence happened to be heard by them, and Yang hurriedly walked up and explained: "When the tailor master made clothes for Xin'er, he exceeded the budget, and the remaining materials were not enough to make a set, so he changed Yunjin for Xiao Qi. ”
Then, Yang turned his head to look at Wen Qingzhu: "Xiao Qi won't blame his aunt, right?" It's really not enough. ”
Wen Qingzhu smiled lightly: "How come, the fourth aunt made clothes for me, I'm already very happy." ”
"Really?" The Yang family actually deliberately didn't want to do it for Wen Qingzhu.
After carefully looking at Wen Qingzhu's eyes for a while, she was relieved after making sure that she really didn't care.
"Fang'er, get ready to go." Over there, Wan Shi shouted Lewin Qingfang.
Yang raised his head when he heard the voice, and he happened to be facing Wan's four eyes.
The two looked at each other, and neither of them would back down.
However, Wan Shi is old after all, she glanced at Wen Qingzhu's clothes lightly, and then gave Yang a smile of unknown meaning.
Yang immediately looked anxious and wanted to explain.
However, Wan Shi ignored her at all, and after sending Wen Mingyu and Wen Qingxin to the car, he turned around and left without hesitation.
The Yang clan gritted his teeth, he only cared about the Qi Wan clan yesterday, and didn't take Wen Qingzhu into account.
This time it was she who didn't think it through.
"Mother, you come to help me, this dress is entangled in the back." Wen Qingxin's voice came from behind.
Yang hurriedly turned around to help her.
Wen Qingzhu followed and turned around and found that Wen Qingxin's clothes turned out to be a set of light and thin trailing long skirts.
In particular, Wen Qingxin's collarbone leaked out.
Wen Qingzhu was really surprised, touched his white fox scarf, and couldn't help asking, "Eleventh sister, aren't you cold?" ”
Hearing this, Wen Qingxin was angry, and he subconsciously wanted to speak.
Yang hurriedly stopped her: "Xin'er! How can you be cold! There is a stove in the carriage, and there is a charcoal fire when you arrive at Lei's house, you are not cold! ”
"I'm not cold!" Wen Qingxin gritted his trembling teeth and said viciously.
Seeing this scene, Wen Qingzhu shrunk his neck and raised his hand to tuck the scarf.
She can't afford such a beautiful frozen person.
The cloud silk is light and transparent, and it is most suitable for summer clothes.
Yang has to make winter clothes, which are too thick to wear, and they will definitely not look good.
Then you can only wear a little less to show the value of cloud silk.
After standing for a while, the little maid brought a grandmother over.
"Miss Wen Qi." When the grandmother saw her face, she shouted enthusiastically.
Wen Qingzhu was a little strange, she didn't seem to know the grandmother in front of her.
The lady walked up quickly and saluted her, "The slave maid is Mama Zhao next to the third lady, come and pick you up." ”
"Hello Mama Zhao." Wen Qingzhu was immediately blessed.
"Miss Seven is polite." Mama Zhao immediately helped her up.
The Yang family and Wen Qingxin behind them had just finished it, and when they heard that someone from the Lei family was coming to pick them up, they hurried over.
"Mama Zhao." The Yang family was afraid that Mama Zhao would lead Wen Qingzhu away directly.
Mama Zhao looked at them, smiled and said hello, "Fourth Mrs. Wen, Miss Wen Eleven"
Yang was stunned, how did this Mama Zhao know them?
However, she didn't have time to be curious, so she hurriedly pulled Wen Qingxin and said: "This is my Xin'er, Xiao Qi's first time going out to meet guests, I don't understand a lot, let Xin'er take her." ”
When Mama Zhao heard this, she couldn't help but look at Yang and Wen Qingxin, and was slightly unhappy in her heart.
The Lei family sent her over to pick her up, even if it was the first time to go out, what else did she not understand!
What's more, she saw that Miss Wen Qi was polite and polite, how could she need her sister to take her.
In fact, the Yang family rarely has contact with the domestic servants of this kind of family, and she has more contact with the family of the merchant family.
Obviously, she is the master, and Mama Zhao is the subordinate.
Being scrutinized by Mama Zhao like this, her Yang family was a little scared in her heart.
