Chapter Twenty-Seven: Before the Guest
There was a banquet all over the world, Jin Rong was busy with scientific research, and he set off in a hurry on the second day. After seeing Jin Rong go away, the Jin family went to Jin Zhiniang's courtyard, estimating that he wanted to teach her a lesson, the woman was in the hall, and respected her father. Every morning when you wake up early, ask for your well-being first. If it is cold, it will be hot, and if it is hot, it will be cool. If you are hungry, you will eat, and if you are thirsty, you will eat soup. Acting like Jin Zhiniang made the Jin family unhappy. Seeing Aunt Jin being carried away by the Jin family, Zhang Erzhen looked sympathetically for a while, and then went back to her small courtyard. The Jin family has arranged for the embroidery lady of Bixiang Embroidery House to come over and buy a few sets of clothes for Zhang Erzhen to go out as a guest, and the person has already arrived at this time.
The one who came to tailor Zhang Erzhen was the Xiangyun lady of Bixianglou, and when she saw Zhang Erzhen coming, she praised her: "The eldest girl of the county magistrate's family is such a symbolic person, I didn't know it before." Look at the grandeur of this body, even in the palace of the Duke and Earl, there are many inferiors. ”
Zhang Erzhen only smiled, and let her measure. There is no prince family in this Wuchang Mansion, let alone in this Guanghua County. When you hear it, it's a compliment, and you can't count it.
"Girl, don't believe it, our Bixianglou is doing the business of officials and wealthy businessmen. A while ago, the housekeeper of the Zhizhou Mansion also came to invite our best embroiderer, saying that it was a distinguished guest. ”
Zhang Erzhen asked: "The distinguished guest of the Zhizhou Mansion, do you know what kind of guest it is?"
"We can't know this, and it's hard to say if we do. But I dare to say, girl, your style is unique in Gwanghwa County. The magistrate of the county is honest and honest, and he has managed our Guanghua County in an orderly manner, but there are many fewer traitors and evildoers. It's like before, I'm scared when I go out, I'm afraid of being caught by evildoers. Xiangyun Niangzi cooperated with a frightened face, and Mingyue on the side laughed.
Zhang Erzhen also smiled, only thinking that this lady was very interesting, and said, "Looking at your scared expression just now, I thought you had met a bad guy." You're imitating too much of a match. ”
Xiangyun Niangzi continued to be busy and said: "It's normal for you not to believe it, it's too peaceful now, it's rare to see such a scene, it's scary to die." A good girl was walking on the road, and she was swept away by a horseman, and when she came back it was several days later. The insulted girl hung a foot of white silk at the entrance of the yamen, and the county master didn't care about it at that time, but only ordered to collect the body quickly and don't dirty the lintel. ”
"Did you catch that villain?" Mingyue asked.
"I said I caught it, and there was no follow-up. It didn't take long for the county lord to be replaced by our Lord Zhang, and now he is much better than in the past, he can eat enough, who is still in a hurry to kill the head. After Mrs. Xiangyun finished speaking, her subordinates' movements were close to the end, so she packed up her things and continued: "Mrs. Zhixian ordered to make a few clothes for the girl, what does the girl like?"
Zhang Erzhen didn't have much research on women's clothing in the Ming Dynasty, but felt that every set was a high-quality product, and it was sky-high to sell it in her previous life, so she smiled at Xiangyun Niangzi and said: "Just look at it, I like it all." ”
Mingyue sent Xiangyun Niangzi out, and wondered: "The girl's clothes have always been made by the nurse, why did she suddenly invite the embroidery lady over?"
Zhang Erzhen sat comfortably on the soft Nanmu rocking chair and said: "This is estimated to mean that the big war is imminent, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first." ”
Mingyue shook her head to show that she didn't understand, and said: "Actually, there is no need to invite the embroidery girl, the slave and maid see that the clothes made by the nurse are fit and beautiful, and the girl is wearing them to meet the lady in the palace." Ruyue followed the nurse all day long, and even the slave's skills have been refined. ”
"You still know the lady in the palace. Zhang Erzhen quipped: "I heard that the ladies in the palace wear the silk that is paid tribute to the Western Regions in winter and cool in summer, the white jade beads on their heads are shining in the dark night, and the palace shoes on their feet are full of lotus, what do you say is the most suitable for me to wear, girl?"
Mingyue was dumbfounded: "Isn't that an immortal?"
Zhang Erzhen smiled: "Isn't it." So we can't see any mothers, we can dress everything, just feel comfortable. He looked down at the aqua green cardigan he was wearing, the dander flowers embroidered with silk thread were delicate and fine, and a small grass-green leaf was holding it, which was really beautiful.
"Ruyue is still in the nurse's house?" I didn't see Ruyue after I came back, and Zhang Erzhen didn't feel strange, Ruyue liked the things made by the nurse very much, and she followed it all day long.
"That's right, Ruyue is with the nurse all day long, and she kisses like a mother and daughter. ”
Zhang Erzhen doesn't care, the nurse Yang rarely goes out of the house, and there are more such as the moon, which can be regarded as inheriting the mantle, so she is not too lonely.
"Then you also go to the nurse to have a look, and learn a little more, I used the handkerchief you embroidered very well last time." Zhang Erzhen coaxed Mingyue out, she swayed gently with the rocking chair, and her heart was suddenly a little uneasy, so she got up and came to the collapsed tail, turned out her little burden layer by layer, touched her glasses legs, and looked at the warm jade pendant lying quietly, and her heart slowly calmed down. Such a dull day is excellent, so why bother to suffer for yourself.
Bi Xianglou's efficiency was very fast, and on the third day, five sets of dresses were delivered, as well as the little girl's family Huadian headdress. The Jin family also made a lot of money this time, and they bought so much at once, Zhang Erzhen looked at the brown carved boxes piled up in front of her, and had a headache for a while, as the daughter of the feudal period, she began to step on the political and social stage.
With these clothes and jewelry, as well as red willow, she passed the word that Jin Shidao would go to Zhizhou's house tomorrow as a guest, and asked Zhang Erzhen to prepare in advance. Zhang Erzhen pointed to a set of sky blue clothes and said, "That's it." Mingyue answered, and packed the rest of the clothes into the cage.
In the Yilan Courtyard, the Jin family was waiting for Zhang Luan to change his clothes, Jin's face was still not good-looking, his pretty face was tense, and he was amused when he saw Zhang Luan, and said: "The rhinoceros has bright teeth, the double moth has green eyebrows, my wife Furong Yuexiang, why are you worried, who made you unhappy?"
Luan Lang asked knowingly, he was not my good sister. Mrs. Zhizhou invited our house to a banquet, and I thought that my sister was there, so I sent Luliu to inform her, who knew that she pretended to be unwell, saying that it was inconvenient to go. I treat her with my heart, and I don't waste my father's hard work, but she doesn't appreciate it, what can I do. Kim muttered, and the more he talked, the angrier he became, and he sat down on a round black wooden chair and sulked alone.
"It's good that my aunt doesn't go, do you know why Mrs. Zhizhou invited us to be a guest in the house?" Zhang Luan said.
