Chapter Seventy-Seven

The Su, Zhou, and Liu families have all intersected with Lin Zhiyun to a greater or lesser extent, but the Zhou family and the Liu family have only bought things with Lin Zhiyun, and they are not even favors, and Lin Zhiyun does not think that they can be his backers. In fact, it is only Wanjia that can really cooperate, but the relationship between Wanjia is not so solid.

Lin Zhiyun felt that instead of clinging to these people, it was better to wait for Shen Junchuan to take the exam himself. As long as Shen Junchuan can be admitted to Xiucai, as the only two Xiucai in Baihua Town, the Lu family should not dare to deal with them.

To be honest, even now the Lu family has not officially dealt with them. Lin Zhiyun felt that Master Lu should not have taken them seriously now, but Lu Shiyi wanted to make some achievements, so he set his sights on their family. As long as Master Lu doesn't make a move, Guanglu Shiyi is still easy to deal with alone.

Several girls in the Su family also felt that they didn't need to take Lu Shiyi to heart.

"Madam, don't worry, as long as Master Lu doesn't make a move, we can handle those few ruffians and hooligans."

Lin Zhiyun smiled: "I naturally trust you. By the way, I recently came up with a new silk flower style, do you want to take a look? ”

"Okay, good, the silk flowers made by Mrs. Shen must be beautiful!" Several maids of the Su family were very excited.

"It's autumn now, I've done the autumn chrysanthemum series of juanhua before, and recently I thought that there are not only chrysanthemums in autumn, but also hibiscus and osmanthus blooming very well, so I made some silk flowers of hibiscus and osmanthus."

Su Lu said strangely: "I can think of the hibiscus juanhua, but the osmanthus is so small, how to make the juanhua?" ”

"Why don't you come and see?" Lin Zhiyun smiled and led them into his embroidery room.

"It turns out that it can really be made into osmanthus silk flowers?"

Several maids of the Su family were stunned when they saw the string of osmanthus flowers made by Lin Zhiyun. I don't know what kind of fabric Lin Zhiyun is made of, anyway, the osmanthus is snow-white, golden, string by string, small by one, and a little millet bead is worn in the middle, which looks exactly like the real osmanthus. Lin Zhiyun used such osmanthus silk flowers to make bead flowers, step shakes and send books. Su Hong's favorite is the osmanthus hair comb, and the strings of osmanthus flowers hang down for a long time, which is very beautiful.

"I've never seen such a tweed, if our second girl sees it, she will definitely like it." Su Lu also smiled.

"This hibiscus chrysanthemum is really beautiful, I have never seen such a beautiful hibiscus flower!" Su Zi was not interested in osmanthus flowers, and she saw the hibiscus flowers in another bamboo building at a glance.

As soon as Su Zi's voice fell, everyone looked at her gaze, and sure enough, they saw a basket of hibiscus flowers. Hibiscus flowers are predominantly white and pink, with single-petaled and double-petaled ones. Lin Zhiyun made silk flowers for these common hibiscus flowers, and she also made some other colors according to the flower pattern of hibiscus flowers, such as light green, light purple, and pink and white, each flower type is very exquisite, which makes people like it at first sight, regardless of whether the hibiscus flower really has this color.

Lin Zhiyun said with a smile: "A few of you can come over, it's really because of the generosity of the Su family, I think I have received such a great favor from the Su family, and I can't say anything about it, so I made these kinds of silk flowers, and I want to send them to the Su family to express my gratitude, do you think these girls from the Su family will like it?" ”

"This is actually not a big favor, it's just borrowing a few people, the Su family has never lacked people, so Young Master Su and the second girl will agree." Su Hong said with a smile.

The girls who came from the Su family were basically from Su Jin and Su Er's room. Both of them are favored masters in the Su family, so there are more maids and servants around them than other masters, so it is nothing to borrow six or seven people. In particular, Su Jin wanted to go on a study tour with his classmates in the academy, and the maids around him couldn't be used for the time being, so he borrowed four of them in one go.

"I know that these six people are nothing to the scholars, but they are different for us, the experience, if there is no help from the four girls, our family of three is afraid that we will all suffer, and there is no way to repay the great kindness, we must express it." Lin Zhiyun said with a smile, "You can pick these silk flowers first, everyone can pick one that you have picked, I won't send it, only send some that you don't have, what do you think?" ”

Su Hong said with a smile: "Mrs. Shen is generous, this is our blessing, I think Mrs. Shen is very thoughtful, but what we want to give to the girls of the Su family is more delicate than these in our hands, I don't know if Mrs. Shen has prepared better?" ”

Su Lu pouted and said, "These juan flowers made by Mrs. Shen are good enough, it's hard to find a better one, right?" I think we can pick a few things that are not so conspicuous, anyway, we are maids, and we can't wear them more ostentatious than the master. ”

The other maids also felt that what Su Lu said made sense, so most of them chose the silk flowers of osmanthus, which seemed less ostentatious. The flower shape of the hibiscus flower is more atmospheric, and it is generally worn by girls, and maids rarely wear such flowers.

Lin Zhiyun saw that they were all very talkative, so he was a little more grateful to them, and took out some Xiaojuan flowers for them. The flower types of these small juan flowers are also relatively low-key, mainly peach blossoms, pear blossoms, plum blossoms, begonia flowers, and some small daisies. In order to make them like it, Lin Zhiyun also made a copy according to the color of their names, and sure enough, these maids of the Su family liked these little juanhua very much when they saw them.

"I wonder when Mrs. Shen is going to visit the second girl? We can prepare it for you in advance, and if you go to Su's house, you need to talk about it in advance if you have some opportunities. ”

As long as Su Llu is happy, he will be very thoughtful.

When Lin Zhiyun saw this, he knew that he had taken the right step in gift-giving.

"The girls' gifts are easy to prepare, I can always get these little juanhua flowers I made, but since I want to go to the Su family, I have to prepare some gifts for the ladies of the Su family, I don't know what the ladies like?"

The little girls who are still in the boudoir hate to be said a vulgar word, so they also wear headgear with silk flowers. But after getting married, the lady usually wears gold, silver and jade ornaments, and rarely brings such juanhua, so Lin Zhiyun feels that his juanhua can't be taken in front of the ladies.

Su Hong said with a smile: "Although the ladies don't wear juanhua, but the ladies all have to wear clothes, doesn't Mrs. Shen also weave cloth?" I see that the cloth you have sold to Fucheng is very good, and perhaps you can weave some fine silk for your ladies. ”

Lin Zhiyun asked, "Do you have to make silk?" ”

"The fabrics that Mrs. Shen sold to Fucheng, I heard that they were polished, although such fabrics look similar to silk, but in the end some money is saved in the raw materials, no matter how beautiful the pattern is, the ladies of the Su family will not like it, the ladies of the Su family have never worn silk and satin, and other materials are not used." Su Hong explained.

"I see, but I've never eaten silk, I don't know what to pay attention to, does Sister Su Hong know?"

Lin Zhiyun is not completely unaware, but she has never done anything in this regard, and she is not sure if she is doing it correctly, so she still hopes that someone can guide her on the side.

Su Hong said with a smile: "Su Qing is from Jiangnan, if there is anything that Madam needs to ask, just tell Su Qing, presumably she must know everything." ”

Su Qing came out and said with a smile: "Our family used to weave silk, and several families in the village used the same silk machine. It was only later that my father and mother fell ill, and the other people in the village took the opportunity to take away the silk machine, and the family sold me out when they couldn't supply it for a while. ”

"That's just right, I haven't bought a silk machine yet, and I don't know what kind of silk should be chosen, so I'm much more at ease with you. Tomorrow, Su Qing will accompany me out to pick silk. Lin Zhiyun thought for a while and asked, "I don't know how long it will take to weave this silk horse?" ”

Su Qing said with a smile: "If I look at weaving, Mrs. Shen doesn't have to worry about what kind of speed you usually weave at all, and what kind of speed you want to weave silk is, but it is more troublesome to make silk, and it is not as good as buying ready-made ones yourself, which may take some time." ”

Lin Zhiyun smiled: "It's okay, you can do it within a month." ”

"A month seems to be too long, the Lu family has been making small moves recently, so it's better to let the second girl know in advance." Su Zi said with a smile, "I saw a few silk fans made by Mrs. Shen before, the embroidery on them is beautiful, if Mrs. Shen is free, it is better to make a silk fan for the ladies." There are several ladies in the Su family who like double-sided shows, and as long as Mrs. Shen can embroider different patterns on both sides, they must be very happy. ”

Lin Zhiyun felt that this was feasible, so he asked, "What kind of silk fans do those ladies like?" Do you know all of this? ”

"Of course, although we are all scary young masters or second girls, but if we want to stay in the Su family as subordinates, we have to understand the minds of several masters, and we can still give a rough idea of the colors and shapes that we like."

"That's enough, it looks like I'm going to keep you troubled." Lin Zhiyun said with a smile.

"What's the trouble, we told Mrs. Shen everything we knew, and Mrs. Shen also told us what you knew, let's count it as mutually beneficial." Su Zi said with a smile, "As long as Mrs. Shen teaches us a few more embroidery methods, we won't suffer." ”

"That's right, there's a way to make silk flowers."

"Okay, then I'll give you everything I think of in the future, so that none of you will suffer." Lin Zhiyun is also sincere
