Chapter Ninety-Nine: An Invitation to Borrow a Hand

Qihua returned to the room, stared at Duan's slightly bulging abdomen through the crack in the door, gritted her teeth and said, "Duan, you jealous woman......"

No one paid attention to Qihua.

Duan Shi turned to ask Qing Yao: "Did he receive the letter in Changyue?" ”

Qing Yao said in a low voice: "Young Master Cousin received a letter from Miss, he accepted it, only said that the tree is planted in the north and the seeds are not easy to find, he will ask someone to find it from the south, it will take some time." ”

"I know, I'll go see Uncle." Duan got up and went to the study to see Yan Qing, Qing Yao walked over and called a rough girl to sweep away the flower branches that Qihua had pruned.

Rulan stepped forward to look at it and complained: "This flower, if you ask that little hoof to repair for two days, it should be uprooted." ”

Bi Lan hurriedly shushed her: "Be quiet, it's not good to disturb the uncle." ”

"Look at that, don't ask her to come out and be a demon, I'll go to the third lady's courtyard to talk to the four Yun girls." Qingyao motioned to Rulan and Bilan to be optimistic about Qihua, and she went to Songhe Courtyard.

In Heyayuan, Yan Jiajia jumped out of the gray squirrel skin from the fur she shared, and she didn't even look at the other furs: "Cuizhu, you take the big piece I wore back last time, make a good one, and give it to the five princes." ”

"Yes, miss." Cuizhu went to help Yan Jiajia choose the right gray squirrel skin.

"How many days will it take?" Yan Jiajia asked. The last time she met the Five Princes in Xiliuyuan, she could feel that the Five Princes were also interested in her.

That's great.

As long as the fifth prince takes the bait, she will be one step closer to her goal.

Cuizhu said: "Do it carefully, about five days, this leather to be sorted out, sewing also need to be more careful, but also paste, hair, trimming." ”

"Five days?" Yan Jiajia raised her hand and stroked the fur, thought slightly, and turned to Qingzhu and said: "Qingzhu, you go to Miss Fourth and ask her to write a letter to Miss Yao, just say that there was no chance to get together last time on incense, and ask her to take her sisters to gather with our five sisters in Juxiang Building, I have been learning incense recently, and I want to buy some incense in Pinxiang Pavilion, you ask Yuntu to set a private room that can accommodate eight people in Juxiang Building on time." ”

Yan Jiajia took out a silver ticket of five taels from the box in his hand and handed it to Qingzhu. When she saw the silver ticket in her box, she frowned, would her mother give Yan Zhenzhen so many gold and silver things? If it is not given, it is the grandfather who borrowed the hand of Zhen Zhen to rectify the house.

If it is given, who is so bold to whisper something that is so daring?

After thinking about it, Yan Jiajia must be the former.

My grandfather is a master and is ranked as the third duke, so I am afraid that it is inconvenient to meddle in the inner courtyard, so I call the mud legs who are not stingy to do this. Yan Zhenzhen's mud legs have never seen the world, and her grandfather only gave her a little sweetness, and the mud legs swished up.

Definitely.

When Qingzhu arrived in the second room, Yan Tingting was supervising the writing of Yan Shishi. Qingzhu brought Yan Jiajia's words, and Yan Shishi immediately happily agreed: "You go back and tell the second sister, Yufang will definitely agree to go to the appointment, she recently wrote to me that she is also learning incense." ”

"So that you will not write for a day, and when you come back, you will double it." Yan Tingting's eyes flashed, and she didn't forget to count her sister.

Yan Shishi muttered: "Obviously, you want to go out yourself, by the way, the second sister can write a letter to Yao Shizi herself, why did she ask me to write a letter to Yufang?" ”

Yan Tingting looked at her sister with the eyes of a fool: "If I were your second sister, I would also ask you to write a letter!" ”

Yan Shishi looked at her sister ignorantly, Yan Tingting was troubled by her gaze: "Use your brains more, don't be stupid like a pig all day long, I'm embarrassed to tell others that this stupid person Yan Shishi is my sister." ”

"No matter how stupid I am, I'm also your sister, I won't write big characters today, I'll think about it, how to reply to Yufang." Yan Shishi glanced back.

He Rui took a letter from the side and handed it to Yan Shishi.

"The words you owe today will be made up together another day." Yan Tingting shook her hand and left.

Only Yan Shishi pouted: "I don't participate in the imperial examination." ”

He Rui took a few pieces of letter paper from the side and put them in front of Yan Shishi: "Miss has to think about it, why didn't the second lady write the letter herself?" ”

"Why?" Yan Shishi held the pen and couldn't put down the pen for a long time, obviously it was something that the second sister could do by herself, why did she write a letter? "Why does my sister call me stupid again?"

"The slave doesn't know either, and the young lady must not be left alone when the time comes." He Rui added some water to the inkstone, and watched Yan Shishi write, with a sad expression on his face.

"Sister says half a sentence, leave half a sentence, and you also tell me something vague, can't you tell me clearly?" Yan Shishi said: "Am I really too stupid? ”

But when I thought of having a small gathering with Yao Yufang and them in Juxianglou, I didn't have to write big characters that day, and I was happy again, and the speed of writing became faster.

In the Songhe Courtyard, Chunyun looked at the remaining skins: "Miss, where are these skins appropriate?" We don't have a special small kitchen in our yard, put it in the inner room, afraid of being eaten by insects by moisture, this fur is not afraid of a little moisture, if it is eaten by insects, it will be a pity. ”

"Miss, why don't you make something for you with these skins?" Xia Yun picked up a piece of skin: "The slave can make a cape with a hood for the young lady, this smooth fur does not stick to the snow." ”

Dongxue brought the leather over and asked Yan Zhenzhen to touch it: "Miss, you touch it quickly, how soft it is, it's all slippery." ”

Yan Zhenzhen's fingers were trapped in the fur hair, she touched it a few times, although these furs were not as good as those given to her by the second senior brother, the quality was not bad, but there was a piece of skin whose hair was a little rough, it was a brown skin, she picked it up and turned it over and over again and looked at it twice: "This kind of skin is bear skin, right?" Did you give a bearskin to Miss Girl? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to give a fawn skin? Besides, he didn't have a fawn skin in it. ”

"Miss, this leather can be made into a cushion. Thick and warm, wear-resistant. Qiuyun came back after sending things, and interjected at the right time: "The slave maid makes a pair for the young lady, okay?" ”

Cushions! Yan Zhenzhen stared at the bear skin, her mother gave her a silver ticket, and gave a whole box of gold and silver, she had never sent anything to her mother, this skin was brought by the fifth prince, she borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, her mother should not be surprised, right?

Yan Zhenzhen unfolded the bear skin: "Look at it, how many cushions can this make?" ”

Xia Yun took out a rope from the bag he carried, and made a few strokes on the bear skin: "You can make three cushions, and the remaining broken skin can also be made into a pair of knee pads." ”

"Let's do it." Yan Zhenzhen retracted her gaze and said casually: "The rest of you are divided, you can do whatever you like." ”

"Miss, never!" Chunyun hurriedly refused: "This is sent by the five princes, and the slaves and maids can't afford it." ”

The rest of Sanyun also refused again and again: "Miss, I can't help it." ”

"Slaves and maidservants can't use such expensive things."
