"Is there something Miao Miao is looking for grandmother?" The old lady looked at Miao Miao gently.

Miao Miao took the gift box from Huihui beside her, which she hid in her sleeve.

"Grandmother, this is for you."

"What is this?" The old lady took the box and opened it with some curiosity, and when she saw the contents inside, the old lady was also amazed by such a well-informed person. What Miaomiao gave to the old lady this time is a serious starry sky quicksand perfume, called Xingchen Galaxy.

The crystal clear glass bottle and the fluttering quicksand on the bottle body are combined into a very beautiful bright galaxy, which looks mysterious and charming.

"What kind of treasure is this?" The old lady looked at Miaomiao in surprise, and Miaomiao smiled and explained to the old lady again.

"Grandmother, you can shake it, shake it, and the quicksand gold in the bottle rolls up, like seeing a galaxy flowing in the sky."

The old lady did as Miao Miao said, and sure enough, she saw a beautiful scene like a galaxy. After the old lady was amazed, she also asked the same question as Mao Xining.

"Where did you get this, and can you get it?"

Miaomiao naturally told the old lady about her words with Mao Xining again. The old lady heard that Miaomiao was going to give it to the palace, so she dispelled the idea of being around.

However, she was a little worried, "This thing is indeed a good thing, but you just came to the capital and are not familiar with the place, do you know how to enter it." ”

The old lady paused and said tentatively: "It's better to let your father help you dedicate it, he still has some connections." ”

The old lady looked very kind, with a sincere and thoughtful look. But Miao Miao's heart suddenly cooled down, and she was really too naïve.

It's ridiculous to start seeing the old lady, being so considerate of herself, and about the box of jewelry, that she actually has expectations for the old lady.

The old lady may indeed feel guilty about her granddaughter, and she has some illness. But in the old lady's bones, she still attaches more importance to interests, and the future of the Hou Mansion, everyone else has to retreat.

Miao Miao had already planned not to have any expectations for the old lady in the future, but her face still did not change, as if she had not found anything, and said calmly to the old lady.

"Don't bother my father, don't hide it from my grandmother, I've already found someone to help."

"Oh? I don't know who it is, Miaomiao, where did you know such a powerful person? The old lady raised her eyebrows, a little suspicious that Miao Miao was perfunctory to her.

Miao Miao still smiled calmly: "It's also a coincidence, I have some friendship with Governor Cai's wife, Mrs. Xue." She also partnered with me to do business, and took the things that flowers wanted to look like to the capital to let Mrs. Xue be sister-in-law. That is, Cai Shangshu's wife sells. ”

"When I researched these things, I gave Mrs. Xue a bottle, and Mrs. Xue also asked me your question, so I told her the truth. Mrs. Xue took the initiative to help, and asked Mrs. Shangshu to help, the letter had already arrived, and Mrs. Shangshu had already agreed. ”

"It's Mrs. Shangshu, since it's already been said, let's trouble her." The old lady heard Miaomiao say this, although she had some regrets, her son could not take this opportunity. It pleased the Queen Mother and others, but neither did the Cai family. There is no profit.

Cai Shangshu is very favored by His Majesty, and he is also in real power. If you can befriend him, the benefits will be great.

And Cai Shangshu and his younger brother and wife have a good relationship, and their words will definitely be useful to him. But before that, it depends on how Miaomiao has a relationship with them.

"But Miaomiao, how did you and Governor Cai's wife meet, as far as my grandmother knows, the Governor's Mansion is not close to where you lived before."

Miao Miao heard the old lady's temptation, but she was also happy to fill in some chips for herself, so she pretended to be naïve and put out all the backstage she knew.

"It's a long story, I accidentally met, the maiden niece of the princess of the county, and became a good friend. She knew that I opened a shop, and specially introduced me to the princess of the county. ”

"The princess of the county is kind and kind, and I have the privilege of being appreciated by the princess of the county, and I have met many ladies by her side. The princess of the county still likes the things in my shop, so she introduced them to many ladies. ”

"After Mrs. Xue was introduced by the princess of the county, she felt that those things were good, so she thought of cooperating with me. Mrs. Xue is hearty and generous, and the two of us often discuss things, so the relationship is not bad. When my background was announced, Mrs. Xue came to see me. ”

The more the old lady listened to Miaomiao, the brighter her eyes became. Miaomiao not only has a good relationship with the Cai family, but is also valued by the princess of the county.

Although Miao Miao didn't say which princess of the county it was, the old lady also knew that it was the princess of Nanjun. The Nanjun Mansion is very favored, and the Nanjun princess also has a special face in front of the Queen Mother.

I didn't expect this granddaughter who grew up in the countryside to have such connections, compared with her, and the daughter of General Weiyuan. There is also Lu Nanxi, who is good friends with the daughter of the lord of Lingxi County, but it is not Er'er.

Looking at Miaomiao's beautiful face, the old lady not only sighed, if she didn't hold the wrong child, with Miaomiao's appearance, she must have a hundred families asking for women, and even the second prince would definitely like Miaomiao.

No... It's not too late. With her wonderful appearance and temperament, as well as her excellent social skills. In addition, during this period of time, the old lady has looked at it coldly, and the wonderful etiquette is not bad, although it occasionally appears. Some are unskilled, but there is really nothing wrong with it.

The old lady guessed that before Miaomiao came back, she must have made up for it, but she didn't care too much, and it seemed that it would be good not to embarrass the Hou Mansion. But now the old lady has changed her mind. She decided to find a tutor for Miaomiao to make her more perfect.

The old lady thought of Miaomiao, the glory that might bring to the Hou Mansion in the future, and looked at Miaomiao's eyes even softer. As soon as she grabbed Miaomiao's hand, she said gently: "Grandmother is so Miaomiao, you are so likeable." ”

"Wait a few days, grandmother will take you to the banquet, and the people next to you will definitely envy grandmother for having such a good granddaughter."

Seeing the old lady like this, for some reason, Miaomiao's heart became more vigilant.

The old lady continued: "Later, grandmother will choose someone for you, and let her tell you what to pay attention to when attending the banquet, as well as some etiquette that people like us need every day. ”

"Thank you, grandmother." Miao Miao was a little impatient. These red tapes, but I know that in order to adapt to the situation, I still have to study carefully.

The old lady smiled even more when she saw Miaomiao being so obedient.

"Good boy, really sensible. Yuzhi! The old lady turned to the grandmother on the side and ordered, "You go and give Miaomiao the few horses I have newly acquired, the autumn-scented brocade." ”

"This brocade is a new style this autumn, so let's see if you let the maid around you make it, or send it to the sewing room. Make two beautiful clothes. ”

Miao Miao doesn't talk about her good material. I couldn't use any more, so I gratefully accepted the brocade given by the old lady.

The two talked for a while, and seeing that the old lady was a little tired, Miaomiao took the initiative to leave.

Huihui and Furong followed behind Miaomiao with the fabric, although it was not far from the old lady's Changchun Courtyard to the Guiyuan, there was also a distance.

I met several people on the way, and I don't know if it was a chance encounter or someone sent to investigate. Anyway, after a while, it spread all over the house. Miao Miao was rewarded by the old lady, and it was also the most fashionable material for several horses.

Mao Xining knew the news, smiled faintly, and said to the maid beside her: "Miaomiao, that girl is indeed a likable, and her mother's preference for her is no exception." ”

Then he sighed at Lu Yixing, who was nodding on the side, "You also learn from your Miaomiao sister, don't just know how to eat, drink and have fun all day long." ”

Outsiders heard this reaction, but the wonderful mother, Mrs. Hou was so angry when she heard the news that she smashed the teacup at that time.

Lu Nanxi was better at hiding than Mrs. Hou and didn't make much of a move. But after she withdrew from the person, her face was still completely gloomy. Look in the direction of the wonderful garden. There was hatred in his eyes.

"Damn shitty thing, just don't be cheeky and please people."

Lu Murphy didn't say it, she has always been timid and cautious, and she won't let people inquire about the news, so she doesn't know that Miaomiao got the fabric.

But Lu Nanlu is well-informed, and she didn't know the news for the first time this time. The reason is that she is not in her yard at all, and after eating, she asked people to take some things, so she came to Miaomiao's yard and waited for her.

Lu Nanlu originally thought that with the old lady's temperament, Miaomiao would come back soon. That's why she came early, waiting for her in the Miaomiao courtyard. But Lu Nanlu didn't expect that she guessed wrong this time.

When Miaomiao came back, Lu Nanxi had already drunk three cups of tea, and even planned to leave.

Thankfully, Miaomiao is finally back.

"Miss, the second miss is here." Xiaofu was greeting Lu Nanlu, and Rose saw Miaomiao's entrance to the courtyard and hurriedly reported to her.

Miaomiao's footsteps didn't stop, and she also asked, "Second Miss, she has been here like this, how long has she been here?" ”

"Second Miss has been here for a long time. She didn't say...", without waiting for Rose to finish. Lu Nanlu, who heard the voice, greeted herself.

"Big sister, you're back." Lu Nanlu waited for a long time, but she still didn't seem to have any dissatisfaction, and she was also very enthusiastic when she saw Miaomiao's appearance.

Lu Nanlu saw He Furong, the silk in his hand, his eyes flashed, and his face did not change at all. She didn't ask, but she kept it in mind. ，

Regarding Lu Nanlu's title, Miaomiao couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Although Lu Murphy is the largest, she is a concubine. So the order of the big house and the second room. It's separate. Lu Nanxi turned out to be the eldest lady, and Lu Nanlu was the second lady.

Now Lu Nanlu actually calls Miaomiao a big sister, which is a little interesting.

There were all kinds of thoughts in his heart, but there was no leakage on Miaomiao's face, but he just said to Lu Nanlu with a gentle smile. "Nanlu is here, let's go in quickly."

The group entered the house together, and Miaomiao also ordered someone to pour tea for Lu Nanlu.

But Lu Nanlu hurriedly waved her hand, saying that she didn't need to, and said with a wry smile in her mouth: "Big sister, don't bother, I have already drunk a lot just now, and now my stomach is full of water." If you drink it again, your stomach should leak. ”

Miao Miao saw Lu Nanxi's frightened look, and smiled a little, "Okay, then I won't serve tea." Nanlu sounds like she's been waiting for a long time. It's all my fault, why Nanlu waited for me for so long. ”

Lu Nanlu hurriedly waved her hand, "Where is the big sister, in fact, I didn't wait long, and it was all my own opinion, I didn't tell you in advance, so I came here to wait for you." ”

Miao Miao smiled, "Okay, let's not talk about this, Nanlu, are you here for something?"

Lu Nanlu looked a little embarrassed, but still said clearly.

"I saw that the big sister's clothes were very good-looking, and I was just going to make some clothes, and the drawings and styles were all drawn, but I was still a little dissatisfied. So I'd like to be cheeky and want you to help me see, where do these styles need to be modified? May I? ”

Of course, Miao Miao will not refuse this little thing. She nodded seriously: "Of course you can, did you bring the drawings, I'll show you now, but my level is just like that, you don't need to do it yourself, just listen to me, just look at a reference." ”

Lu Nanxi thanked and thanked, seeing that her attitude was so sincere, Miaomiao also put away other thoughts, and was very serious and helped her look at the drawings. Miaomiao was a little surprised when she saw Lu Nanxi's drawings.

Not only are they all styles that are not available on the market, but they also look good, and they are not too out of place and are particularly fresh, which makes people look bright.

"Did you draw it all yourself?" Miaomiao couldn't help but look at Lu Nanlu, she didn't expect Lu Nanlu to be so young and so powerful.

"I painted it casually myself, isn't it not pretty?" Lu Nanlu was very nervous by Miaomiao, and she touched her nose a little embarrassed.

Miaomiao was a little surprised when she heard her say this, and hurriedly said: "How can these drawings be very good, and the clothes are very beautiful." Sister Nanlu, you draw such a great design at such a young age, I think you are too talented and powerful. ”

"Really? Am I really good? Lu Nanlu couldn't believe what Miaomiao said, but she was obviously a little happy to be praised, and she was also excited. Slowly opened the conversation.

"I've always loved drawing drawings and designing clothes since I was a child, and my aunt always said that I was messy and beautiful. No one has ever complimented me on how good I am, thank you big sister. ”

"Thank me for what, you are already very powerful, the clothes you designed are so beautiful, I also want you to help me design a few bodies, but I don't know if it's inconvenient for you."

"Of course it's convenient, big sister, you can leave it to me, and I will definitely design unique clothes for you."

The two men talked for a while, and then they discussed the drawings.

"This one is so good-looking, and the patterns are all beautiful. It's this color, I think, I should change it a little bit. This purple seems to be a little, which can't bring out the agility of the clothes themselves, how about pink on the top and purple gray below? ”

"What color is pink, purple-gray, I also feel the problem that my big sister said. But I have never seen those colors you said, big sister. ”

"I wanted to ask before, on the day we met for the first time, where did I buy the material for my eldest sister's upper body? It was a beautiful color, but I hadn't seen it before. ”

The Great Xia Dynasty may be the reason set by the author of the original book, and it did not use a strict division of colors like in ancient times in reality. In addition to the bright yellow color that can only be used exclusively by royals and Taoists, there is also a well-known fact that concubines cannot use red.

Others, such as civilians can't wear them, and there are no harsh regulations like bright colors. But even if there is no ban, in terms of ancient dyeing, there is a lack of craftsmanship and materials in all aspects.

Therefore, the color of the Great Xia Dynasty, that is, the positive color, in addition to the color of the natural pigment itself, has seven colors of the rainbow. But further down, there aren't as many colors.

The more you lack something, the more you desire something. Coupled with the girl's natural liking for beautiful clothes, the powder blue top that Miao Miao wore when she came, Lu Nanlu thought about it in her heart for a long time.

After Lu Nanlu asked, Miao Miao remembered the lack of color and the backwardness of the dyeing process.

After hesitating for a moment, Miao Miao still said honestly: "I wore powder blue that day, and I dyed it myself." ”

"Dye it yourself? How is it dyed? Lu Nanlu was surprised and excited, and only after she finished saying did she feel that she was a little speechless, and hurriedly remedied.

"I mean, how can you get a cloth dyed that color. I want it too, big sister, it doesn't matter how expensive it is. ”

"It's very expensive, indeed." Miaomiao just admired Lu Nanlu's talent, but she was not willing to give her such an expensive cloth for nothing. In fact, although this money is expensive, Miao Miao can afford it.

If there was no old lady's previous affairs, Miaomiao would have sent Lu Nanlu some directly. But after experiencing the old lady's calculations, Miao Miao already planned to easily stop having a good impression of anyone in the Hou Mansion.

But Miao Miao didn't want to make an enemy, although she was not afraid, but she was also troublesome. Therefore, Miao Miao made a very sincere look, "That kind of material is really expensive." ”

"If you want to dye it into a special color, the dyeing pigment cannot be an ordinary dyeing pigment, but a special mineral pigment. In addition, there is a special process, and it can be dyed after many experiments, and it is not always successful. And most importantly, not only is it expensive, raw dyed ore is particularly rare, not to mention sky-high prices, and it is difficult to find. ”

"That's it..."Lu Nanlu was extremely disappointed in his heart.

Miaomiao observed Lu Nanlu's expression, and saw that she was only disappointed, and there was no resentment towards herself, so she weighed it and said.

"If you find those cherished ores, I can help you try dyeing another one."

"Really? Big sister you are so good, thank you so much. Lu Nanlu originally thought that there was no hope, but she didn't expect the peak to turn around, and she looked at Miaomiao gratefully.

Miao Miao asked again, "Then what kind of color do you like?" ”

Lu Nanlu was a little curious, "What colors are there, in addition to powder blue, pink and daisy, are there any other purple grays?" ”

"There's a lot more," Miao Miao thought for a moment, and then said, "There are too many, but it's not something you can choose." You'd better look for the ore first, it's not certain if you can find it. The color of the cloth also depends on the color of the ore, and you remember to be sure to look for natural mineral pigments. ”

"Okay, I made a note of that. When the time comes, there will be trouble big sister. Lu Nanlu also felt that this was the truth, and nodded in response.

"Big sister's new material today, what do you want to do, I'll let the maid help you do it. If I want to make clothes, I will draw the drawings for the big sister to see, and then make them if I like them."

Lu Nanlu is not a person who doesn't know gratitude, she reciprocates the favor, and she also wants to help Miaomiao do something.

Miaomiao saw what Lu Nanlu meant, and she felt good about her. But she still refused, "Don't bother Nanlu, I haven't thought about it yet." But if Nanlu is free, he can help me draw two drawings, and I can't thank you enough. ”

"Okay, I'll draw it well." Lu Nanlu laughed happily.
