Chapter 41 Splendid Workshop
Lin also had some eyes this time, and she didn't use the carriage in the courtyard that showed her identity - she had the title of county lord, and the carriage was also in accordance with the rules of the title, so that people could know who was sitting in the carriage at a glance.
asked Lin Fu to prepare an ordinary carriage, and the Lin family took the two girls into the city together.
Tang Yanrong was still a little nervous, and saw Lin leaning against the wall of the carriage, closing his eyes. pulled Tang Yanning's sleeve and asked her in a low voice, "When you enter the city, don't you go back to the house to see the old lady...... Is that good? ”
"Big sister wants to go back?" Tang Yanning was surprised. It is said that Tang Yanrong and Mrs. Su should not have a deep relationship between their ancestors and grandchildren, right?
Tang Yanrong hurriedly shook his head, as if he didn't think it was good to do this, and whispered to distinguish himself, "I...... I'm just afraid that if I meet someone, I'm afraid there will be gossip. ”
She doesn't care, but she still doesn't want anyone to talk about her mother and sister because of this.
Besides, the old lady is not a kind person, and her father is even more soft-eared. My grandmother came out of the house to recuperate, and if the old lady knew that she could go to the shop to buy jewelry, but refused to go back to say hello, then there would inevitably be a mouthful of tongue in the future.
She is kind-hearted, Tang Yanning naturally knows.
However, Tang Yanrong's worries, she didn't take it to heart - the capital is so big, although Jinxiufang and Caidiexuan are the most famous clothing shops and golden buildings, they are not the only ones. Where is it so coincidental that I met an acquaintance?
Besides, she also agreed with the Lin family to go to the imperial doctor's house to pay a visit first, and change the prescription by the way. When I really met an acquaintance, I said that I went to the city to see a doctor, and that was it.
"Don't worry, I've got my own way." Tang Yanning took out a hat from the secret compartment of the car and buckled it on Tang Yanrong's head. The veil on the hat hung down, covering Tang Yanrong's face.
Tang Yanning clapped her hands and smiled: "Isn't this so that no one can see it?" ”
Tang Yanrong sneered, seeing that Tang Yanning didn't seem to take what she was worried about, she followed her example and left the Guogong Mansion and others behind.
Thinking about going into the city and picking out clothes and jewelry from the clothes shop and the golden building, this is the first time for her, Tang Yanrong can't help but feel a little joy in her heart.
Splendid Fang and Caidiexuan are on the most prosperous street in the capital, which saves a lot of effort on the road.
Mrs. Zhang greeted her very warmly. She has been in the Splendid Workshop for nearly twenty years, and she was already here before the Lin family left the cabinet.
"When I woke up early this morning, I heard magpies chirping in the yard. I wondered if the ladies and girls were coming. Zhang Niangzi smiled, in her early forties, with white skin and fine lines at the corners of her eyes, "It's also a coincidence, I just came from the south yesterday with new patterns of materials, soft and light, and the color is good, which is suitable for making clothes for the girls." ”
As he spoke, he let the people in.
I have to say that Jinxiufang has been able to stand in Beijing for so many years, and how many dignitaries and nobles have come here to customize clothes, and the clothes and ready-to-wear are indeed good.
Mrs. Zhang let the Lin family and Tang Yanning sisters to the private room on the second floor, and asked the neat young man to bring a few new good materials to the three Lin family.
"This is the material that has just arrived, and the color is excellent." Zhang Niangzi unfolded a piece of material with her hands, and under the sun, it was brilliant.
"This year, the ones shipped from the south are all new colors, and the weaving methods used are also new, which is fine and light, which is most suitable for making clothes to wear at this time."
Zhang Niangzi is very good at words, obviously changing the way to ask people to buy her things, but she has a clever mouth, and the words she says are not disgusting.
Besides, this new material called Xiangyun yarn is really good, and the Lin family asked Tang Yanning and Tang Yanrong to pick a few horses and cut a few more new clothes.
Tang Yanrong was still a little embarrassed. There was such an opportunity in the Guogong Mansion before, but it was never her turn, she used to wait in the corner in silence, waiting for someone to think of her and reward her with something.
But...... The light pink one, which seems to be woven with silver threads, is only a short distance away, and you can feel the bright material, which is really beautiful......
Tang Yanning saw the longing in her eyes, walked to the table full of clothes, first picked a smoky purple one, and placed it in front of the Lin family to compare.
This material is different from the pink, light and elegant, just such a comparison, there is a feeling of cruising people in the morning mist, which is in line with Lin's temperament.
"Okay, you two sisters will pick it first." The daughter was able to think about herself, and the Lin family was naturally happy, and her face was slightly red.
Mrs. Zhang smiled beside her: "This is the girl honoring Mrs. Niang." ”
Lin happily asked Mrs. Zhang to put the material aside first.
"Aunt Zhang, look at my big sister, what color shirt looks good in it? What color skirt to wear with? ”
Zhang Niangzi glanced at Tang Yanning with a smile. She is a businessman, and her eyes are naturally keen. Tang Yanrong took a fancy to the pink and gold cloth, and she had already seen it. Of course, Mrs. Zhang also knew that the eldest girl in the Tang Guogong Mansion was a concubine. The mother and sister have not yet been selected, no matter how much they like it, Miss Tang will not say it directly.
This couldn't be more normal. No matter whose family is the concubine, as long as she has a brain, she will not pinch the tip in front of her mother-in-law, and she wants her sister-in-law's strength.
However, Tang Yanning, who has always had a reputation for being rough and leafy, made her a little impressed. This girl didn't make a big decision with Tang Yanrong, but asked herself to come forward, which is very interesting - if it is really as rude as rumored, where can there be such scheming?
Thinking like this, Zhang Niangzi couldn't help but look at Tang Yanning twice. When I came into contact with her clear and clear eyes, I saw that they were pure, not pretentious at all. Zhang Niangzi couldn't help but doubt herself again, could it be that she was thinking too much?
While puzzled, he recommended the pink and gold material to Tang Yanrong, "It is already hot during the Dragon Boat Festival, and this color of Xiangyun yarn has another name, called Xiangfei Xiao, which is suitable for people like the eldest girl with white skin and even flesh and bones." ”
recommended a crimson brocade to Tang Yan, which also looked very luxurious. Tang Yanning took a fancy to another dark green one, and in the end, she picked out fifteen or sixteen horses from the Splendid Workshop.
Mrs. Zhang asked the best female celebrity in the Splendid Workshop to come out, measured the size of the three Lin families, and sewed them here and sent them to the other courtyard.
The three of them put on their hats, went downstairs, and went to Cai Diexuan next door.
Compared with the splendid workshop, the hall on the first floor of Caidiexuan is smaller, but because it is a golden building, the renovation is also in line with the style of the nobles.
When I entered the door, I heard a swaggering voice, and said loudly with mockery: "Cai Diexuan is the best golden building in the capital, when did people who didn't even have silver dare to come in?" ”
