Chapter 183: Changing Patterns
Song was completely attracted by these clothes, and he didn't remember that his son was still hiding behind the screen, so he only threw himself on the dresses behind, and after reading all six skirts, Song sighed: "Xiaoran, I finally understand why you have been doing it for so long, you have really worked hard, and my aunt doesn't know how to thank you." ”
Meng Xiaoran smiled, "Auntie, it's me who should be thanked, these days, my aunt goes to send me soup and snacks every once in a while, and chooses maids for me, these Xiaoran are all in mind, I can only do my best to make a few good-looking clothes for you to express my heart, not to mention that my aunt went to the banquet in clothes, and it was originally a signboard for our Jinyi Fang, Xiaoran is grateful, where do you dare to invite credit?" ”
Her words were sincere and sincere, and the Song family was ironed in her heart, at this time, the Song family can be said to have been completely captured by her, and now she is even more identified with this daughter-in-law.
Shen Qian didn't know that just now, his mother had secretly sworn that she must marry Meng Xiaoran into the door, not for him, but for herself, such a lovely daughter-in-law, she really wanted to marry her into the Shen family immediately.
Meng Xiaoran accompanied the Song family to look at all the clothes, and it took nearly an hour, and both of them were a little tired, "Auntie, since you have tried on the clothes and they all fit, then I will go back first." ”
Song finally remembered her son, and as soon as her eyes rolled, she immediately grabbed Meng Xiaoran's hand, "Then how can it be done?" You've been busy with me for so long, how can I let you go back at this time? I've already asked someone to prepare lunch, so you can stay and dine with me today, and your uncle has gone out to do business again, and it's not interesting for me to eat alone. ”
She said so, Meng Xiaoran was not easy to refuse, so she had to nod her head in response, Song pulled her away, glanced at the screen before leaving, and nodded slightly at Shen Qian, Shen Qian naturally understood what his mother meant, and couldn't help but hook his lips and smile.
The Song family took Meng Xiaoran to the living room, and the two were talking and laughing, when they heard the maid outside the door shouting in a low voice: "I've seen the young master." ”
As soon as the two looked up, they saw Shen Qian walking in, Meng Xiaoran looked at him and looked at his eyes, he couldn't help but jump in his heart, lowered his head and didn't look at him, Shen Qian hooked his lips and smiled, and moved his gaze to the Song family.
Song frowned and glanced at him, and shook his head at him, his son just looked at him, and he couldn't wait to swallow others, but fortunately, this girl is real, if you change someone else, don't you turn your face and leave immediately?
"Qian'er, are you back? Xiao Ran sent me clothes today, oops, those dresses are so beautiful, tomorrow the wife of the Li County Mansion invites us to be a guest, I plan to wear the new dress that Xiao Ran made for me, which is guaranteed to attract the attention of a large group of ladies. Song said with a smile.
Shen Qian glanced at Meng Xiaoran, he hadn't seen her for more than ten days, he felt that she had lost some weight, presumably he had been making these clothes for his mother in the past few days, she had stayed up late again, he couldn't help but feel distressed, but more happy, obviously, his mother felt very good about her now, he knew that as long as his mother took a fancy to it, it would be more than half of the matter.
"Xiaoran, thank you for your hard work."
Since Shen Qian moved away, the two of them haven't seen each other for more than ten days, for some reason, seeing it at this time, the atmosphere is a little delicate, Meng Xiaoran didn't dare to look directly into his eyes, because his eyes were too hot, making her heart throb uncontrollably, she didn't want to do this, but she couldn't ignore the strangeness in her heart, so she could only keep her head down.
Shen Qian suddenly spoke, still to herself, she couldn't pretend to be stupid anymore, so she had to raise her head and smile at him, seeing that Shen Qian's gaze returned to normal, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not hard, as long as my aunt likes it." ”
Song carefully observed the communication between the two on the side, with her experience as someone who had come over, she could be sure that Meng Xiaoran had Shen Qian in her heart, since this was the case, it would be easy to do.
Seeing that the time was almost up, she instructed the maid outside, "Pass the meal." ”
"Yes, ma'am." After receiving the order, the maid went down to order, and the lunch had already been prepared, just waiting for the master to pass the meal, and after a while, I saw several maids coming over with food plates, and put a plate of dishes full of color and fragrance on the table.
Song waved her hand to let all the maids retreat, she has not been able to get used to having many people watching her eat, even after so many years, she still can't adapt to it, her habit is surprisingly consistent with Meng Xiaoran, and Meng Xiaoran saw her doing this, and thought that she was thinking about her own feelings, and her heart was very moved.
Song personally put a bowl of soup in front of Meng Xiaoran, and said with a smile: "This is the ginseng soup I specially asked someone to make for you, you drink more, I see that you have lost weight recently, this is not good, the girl's family must take care of her body, so her face looks ruddy, and I am happy when I look at it." ”
Meng Xiaoran's heart was warm, she had never felt such warmth and care, and now for some reason she was a little greedy for such care, these days, Song often sent ginseng soup and pastries, and told her to care from time to time, which made her heart very moved, so she worked harder to make these six clothes, not only to let Song do publicity, but also to express her gratitude.
In fact, the ginseng soup is not delicious, Meng Xiaoran doesn't like the taste of ginseng, but she drinks it every time, because this soup has the warmth she craves the most, and it has become the most delicious delicacy in the world.
Song saw Meng Xiaoran drink a bowl of ginseng soup very obediently, and a smile bloomed on her face, at this moment, she even hoped that Meng Xiaoran was her daughter, she had always longed for a well-behaved and sensible daughter, but unfortunately she hurt her body when she gave birth to Shen Qian, and she couldn't conceive anymore.
After that, it was the Song family who vigorously sandwiched the vegetables for Meng Xiaoran, and Meng Xiaoran also ate vigorously, and it was difficult to refuse if she couldn't eat it, or Shen Qian saw that her face was wrong, so he stopped Song's enthusiasm, clamped the chopsticks she raised, and said with a smile: "Mother, you just take care of the vegetables for Xiaoran, and you haven't eaten it yet, right?" Hurry up and eat some too, otherwise you'll be hungry, and my father won't be able to spare me when he comes back. ”
The Song family forgot to pick up the food for Meng Xiaoran anymore when he interrupted him, but pretended to beat Shen Qian, "You stinky boy, you dare to arrange your mother and me." ”
Shen Qian smiled and dodged, "Oh, mother, we're all full, you haven't eaten a bite, hurry up and eat some, come and I'll serve you soup." Saying that, Song looked at his son's courteous appearance, and couldn't help but smile and bend his eyes.
Meng Xiaoran knew that Shen Qian was helping her to relieve herself, and she was grateful, and then she was even more envious when she saw the exchange between him and the Song family, how she wished that she also had a family, and she could also gag with her parents like Shen Qian and enjoy the joy of family.
Song has the habit of taking a nap every day, after lunch, Meng Xiaoran and Shen Qian accompanied her to walk around the back garden a few times to eat, she yawned, "Hey, old, really old, I was sleepy just after eating, I went back to sleep, Qian'er, you send Xiaoran back for me, you must send her safely." ”
After speaking, she yawned and went back with the help of the maid, only Shen Qian and Meng Xiaoran were left in the garden, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into an inexplicable embarrassment.
"I ......" Meng Xiaoran was about to say that he was going back, but Shen Qian hurriedly said: "You have just been fed so much by my mother, you must have eaten too much, I will accompany you to walk more and eliminate food." ”
Meng Xiaoran couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, to be honest, she was really overwhelmed, and her stomach was still uncomfortably swollen at this time, Shen Qian said this, she nodded, and the atmosphere between the two was much more relaxed.
The back garden of the Shen Mansion is very large, full of precious flowers of various colors, and it is the season when the azaleas bloom, and the large red azaleas are very spectacular as far as the eye can see.
The two walked around the garden, Shen Qian thought about it and asked: "After my father came back, he handed me a lot of Shen family's property, it turned out that he had quietly purchased a lot of them over the years, all of which were placed under Qingfeng's name, and I have been busy dealing with these recently, so I didn't go to Jinyifang, but I heard Qingfeng say, now Jinyifang is also famous in Yunzhou City, many people in order to compete for the quota of ten pieces a day, before dawn on the Jinyifang guard, it seems that Jinyifang is successful, but I am a little worried about you, can you handle it alone?" ”
Meng Xiaoran smiled, "We didn't expect Jinyifang to be so popular at first, now I have to draw ten drawings every day according to the requirements of the guests, and it is indeed gradually a little difficult, I am wondering, is it necessary to change the model, such a special custom price increase, the goal is for those who have money or power, and some ordinary clothes we set the price lower, and there is no need for each piece of clothing is different, a style can do many sizes, put in the store for customers to choose, so that our pressure will not be so great, Ten embroiderers can also be well used, otherwise this situation is too wasteful of manpower. ”
Shen Qian nodded, "You have a good idea, so let's go to Jinyifang together today, and order this arrangement to go down, tomorrow we will stop the customization of ten people every day, and the store will be temporarily closed, and it will open again in ten days, you draw some new artwork out, let the embroidery girl start to work, be sure to do more out, if the business continues to be so good, I am afraid that these ten embroidery girls are not enough, I will let people look for some more during this time, and invite more embroidery girls back." ”
It was unexpectedly that Jinyifang could be so popular, so now such a scale and manpower are indeed far from enough, Meng Xiaoran nodded, and then said: "I plan to take Ni Shang with me in the future to only accept the customization of rich people, but the quantity must be controlled, and only two people are accepted every day." ”
Shen Qian looked at her in some surprise, his eyes were full of surprise, Meng Xiaoran was a little uncomfortable by her, "You...... What are you looking at me like that? ”
Shen Qian smiled, "You have been surprising me, when I first saw you, I thought you were very special, and later it turned out that my feeling was right, you are very smart, and you have successfully done internal response for me, but now what I didn't expect is that you are also very talented in business." ”
Where is any talent, it's just standing on the shoulders of giants and borrowing from those modern haute couture models, Meng Xiaoran thought secretly.
