He Shi looked at Shen Mingyue, who was shrinking, and remembered the appearance of his first entry into Mao'er Hutong, so he smiled and said: "I arranged this room according to my master's requirements, if you are not satisfied, just tell me, I will re-build it with you." ”

Shen Mingyue paid attention to her title at this time, and asked, "Why is Sister He also called Mrs. Li?" ”

He replied: "I followed my father-in-law's name." ”

In order to appease the uneasy Shen Mingyue, He told her about Fu Zhenyu's temperament again, when Shen Mingyue asked her: "This house is so good, how long has my sister cleaned up?" ”

He replied, "On the 27th of May, Master called me over and asked me to prepare such a house. I didn't know what to do, so I just did it. ”

Wasn't that the day I saw Mrs. Lee? Mrs. Li fell in love with herself at that time? Shen Mingyue guessed, and He's praise came from her ears: "I heard my uncle's wife say that the master generally doesn't make a move, but all the women who have followed her are extremely powerful, and my sister is also a very powerful person." ”

Shen Mingyue hurriedly said: "No, in addition to being able to make clothes, I can't read well, and I don't know how to read well, and I don't have a good sister." ”

He said: "I learned it from my master, and I also have someone to help, so it's nothing. ”

The two talked for a while, and the maid came to report that Mou Xin was back, and He took his leave.

Shen Mingyue was fine, so she asked the maid to open the album given by Fu Zhenyu and looked at it at a glance. Although the painting was very simple, Shen Mingyue clearly knew that these were really beautiful clothes.

After pondering for a moment, Shen Mingyue took the brush and began to draw. Based on her understanding of the album, she also compiled a small tailoring painting that she pondered by herself. In the middle of the afternoon and one night, Kankan painted two pieces. For those two pieces of accessories alone, dozens of pieces were made.

After breakfast the next day, I held the dozen or so pages I had drawn and went to see Fu Zhenyu.

Fu Zhenyu looked at it, smiled, and exclaimed: "It's too profitable to pick you up!" ”

I am very sure of Shen Mingyue's talent.

Seeing that Shen Mingyue was not confident, in order to encourage her, Fu Zhenyu showed his face and boasted to himself: "I am a qualified master, a qualified master who is good at discovering the characteristics of others. Believe me, in less than ten years, you will definitely be famous in the capital! When the time comes, I'm afraid that Zong Yan won't be worthy of you. ”

The two Jinshi and the Hanlin students who were also admitted to the Shujishi are not worthy of themselves?

Shen Mingyue didn't believe it.

Although she was a little embarrassed, the little girl who was very self-aware said calmly: "Master doesn't need to comfort me. My aunt said that Li Hanlin is all good, but I am not worthy of him. But regardless of whether it is compatible or not, since I went to see the Master that day, I had this in mind. I have worked hard for this, but I can't do it, and I will have no regrets. ”

Fu Zhenyu listened, glanced at the still timid little girl unexpectedly, and echoed in a low voice: "This is very true." ”

He was also curious: "Did you deliberately wear the clothes you saw me wearing that day?" ”

Although she was a little embarrassed, Shen Mingyue nodded, remembering the first time the two met in the Lu family.

In the Lu family, her aunt has a mother-in-law on the first two floors, several concubines of the same generation, and there are many men in the family, so it is really inconvenient to live, but her aunt refuses to let her and her younger brother go out alone - although the Lu family is troubled and eventful, it is undeniable that she and her younger brother have received an excellent upbringing in the Lu family.

She is already married, and it is a matter of time before she gets married.

When her aunt took her to see Fu Zhenyu, she knew that it meant to look at each other. The Li family is not good, but she is excellent for her. But she didn't have anything else to do but needlework. So, she put on the gown she had made with a slightly raised collar.

Things went even more smoothly than she had imagined.

is also such a small room, the two of them met, Mrs. Li not only saw it at a glance, but also asked herself: "After giving birth, my belly is slightly bulging, can you make a dress to cover one or two?" ”

This kind of thing is very simple for her, she didn't think about it at the time, and gave the answer directly: "I did it for my aunt a few days ago." As long as the skirt is shorter, the long skirt inside starts to be pleated from the waist, and the pleats begin to corset the waist, which can show off the waist and cover the belly. ”

Later, the two of them talked about some family things, when Mrs. Li asked her, "Do you know that this is looking at each other?" ”

Naturally, yes.

She nodded, so when she asked her again, "What do you think?" later, she was puzzled.

I'm all here, what else can I think?

Until Mrs. Li reminded her: "Don't you still have a younger brother, what requirements do you have for your brother's future and for your future husband to take care of your brother?" ”

At that time, Shen Mingyue hesitated for a moment, and then told the truth: "My parents left some family wealth, and they are all here. If it can be done, can Madame help me find a small house near Li's house? At that time, my younger brother will live by himself, and he will be closer to me, so I can take care of one or two. Another thing, if I buy a house and leave some money to study with my brother, my dowry will not be much. ”

At that time, Mrs. Li did not say anything else.

Later, she learned from her aunt that Fu Zhenyu had met her younger brother, and she also heard from her aunt that Mrs. Li, who looked at her, was a strange woman who had brought out Tanhua and Wu Zhuangyuan, and had spent another year teaching a talented woman. She never thought that Fu Zhenyu would have nothing for her in the two rankings, and she never thought that Fu Zhenyu would take her to her side and open a shop with her......

Thinking of this, Shen Mingyue confirmed with Fu Zhenyu again: "Master, just based on the clothes I drew that I don't know if I can make them, you know that I can open an embroidery room?" ”

Fu Zhenyu nodded and said happily, "That's right." Rest assured, don't be so stressed. Here, as long as you can make one or two pieces, and some other small changes, this embroidery room will definitely be opened, and your dowry will be there. Moreover, with a dowry, or rather, the ability to earn a dowry, this is even more important than whether you can become the wife of the Li family! ”

Shen Mingyue burst into tears when she heard this.

Fu Zhenyu hurriedly said: "What's the matter?" Don't cry a lot. The tears of the daughter's family are all treasures, and they have to be saved. ”

Shen Mingyue gradually stopped crying and said, "I know that what the master said is right. That's what my mother told me before she died. She said, as long as I can stand, I will go to the Lu family, and I will not be under the fence. He also said that his younger brother was a boy and could earn his own food and drink. And I am a girl's family, there is no dowry, it is difficult to gain a foothold in my in-law's family, she asked me to use most of the family assets as a dowry, but I was unwilling. ”

As she spoke, Shen Mingyue burst into tears again.

Fu Zhenyu heard this, and suddenly asked her, "How much silver do you have on hand that can be used?" ”

Although she didn't know what she was going to do, Shen Mingyue had already concluded that Fu Zhenyu was a person who thought about her like her mother based on her previous words, and heroically reported her family's background: "About 2,000 Chase silver tickets, and more than 130 acres of land in Zhending Mansion. ”

Who knows, Fu Zhenyu said: "You are a little poor." ”

Shen Mingyue was taken aback, three or four thousand taels of things, still poor?

Fu Zhenyu didn't mention the Li family's family affairs, and educated Shen Mingyue: "You can't do this." The silver ticket is also in vain, although it is not very profitable to buy land, but at least it can be harvested every year. I have an idea, do you want to listen to it? ”
