Chapter 33 Designing the Skirt
Little River Village.
The Su family's workshop began to be built in February, and the villagers were very attentive, and every brick and tile was carefully built by everyone, and everyone worked together to complete it in less than a month.
Looking at the two-story blue-tiled house rising from the ground, Father Su was very proud in his heart.
Su's mother was also very happy, hurriedly went back to the house to pack her clothes, and hurriedly went to Beijing.
When she received the letter from Su Zhiyuan before, she couldn't bear it anymore, Banxia was alone in the capital, and she was the first child, she didn't take care of Banxia by her side, and she always felt unsteady in her heart.
It's a pity that the family was building a workshop at that time, and Su's mother had to help every day, so she couldn't leave.
Now that the workshop has been built, she can finally go to Beijing to see her daughter-in-law.
Father Su stopped her: "Don't go yet, I'll talk about it later." ”
"What are you going to do after a while, now there is nothing else to do at home, I will go early, and I can see them sooner."
"It's mid-March, and Zhiyuan should have finished the exam, and I heard that it will take a month to release the list! If you are lucky enough to be admitted, it is definitely the ancestral tomb of our old Su family that is smoking, if you ...... It won't be long before they return. ”
Su Mu returned to the house gloomily.
If Banxia and Su Zhiyuan were here, they would definitely praise Daddy Su and think deeply.
There is still a month left before the release of the list.
Because it was in April and the apricot blossoms were blooming, it was also called "apricot list".
Although the examination has passed, Su Zhiyuan is still in a state of preparation, and if he is lucky enough to pass the examination, he will take the palace examination at the end of April.
The temple examination is divided into first, second, and third.
The first three are given to the Jinshi and the first, commonly known as the champion, the list eye, and the flower; The second class was born as a jinshi, and the first place is commonly known as Chuanlu; The top three are given the same Jinshi background.
The first three people were immediately conferred, and the champion was awarded the Hanlin Academy for revision, and the Bangyan and Tanhua were awarded for the Hanlin Academy.
If the second and third class jinshi want to be appointed to the official, they must go through the court examination again, and the results of the examination before and after the comprehensive selection will be selected to enter the Hanlin Academy as a Jishi. That is, it is commonly known as "Dianhanlin", and the rest are distributed to various departments to serve as directors or go to other places to serve.
At present, there is an unwritten rule: non-Jinshi will not enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin will not enter the cabinet.
Yes, how important the results of the palace examination are, Su Zhiyuan understands that he will not give up such an opportunity after ten years of hard study.
Su Zhiyuan rested for a day, then returned to normal, and calmly read and reviewed.
Banxia has also been painting in the room these days, painstakingly designing the style of spring and summer skirts, drawing them, and planning to go to Buzhuang to do it.
Later, her belly will be bigger, and the skirt can cover her belly, and she will not look fat at all, even if she is pregnant, she will be beautiful.
Mama Su stood aside grinding, she couldn't stand it anymore, and proposed, "Madam, do you want to find the young master to help you paint?" The young master and his wife have a clear heart, and they can understand what the lady is thinking. ”
Banxia understood Mama Su's subtext: You are too ugly...... Don't mess around......
Banxia looked at the pile of children's graffiti paintings on the table.
Well, she couldn't stand it either.
So, I decided to ask Su Zhiyuan for help after dinner.
"Xianggong, now that the weather is getting warmer, I can't wear a lot of clothes I brought before."
"The lady is thoughtful, the last time she handed over the family's money to the lady for her husband, what the lady needs to buy directly, such a trivial matter, the lady decides." Su Zhiyuan helped Banxia to sit down.
"Xianggong, I thought of some new styles of skirts, but my painting skills are not good, and I need Xianggong's help."
Banxia pulled Su Zhiyuan to the table, and then he noticed that there were four or five pieces of white paper on the table, on which some black lines of different thicknesses were drawn, and he could barely see the outline of a dress.
Su Zhiyuan was used to it, and picked up the pen: "The lady will describe it, and the husband will paint it." ”
Banxia was grinding on the side, and the little mouth Babala, described it in detail.
First Officer, Second Officer, Third Officer......
Su Zhiyuan stopped writing.
Banxia hugged him and rubbed: "Xianggong is amazing, that's what I think in my mind." ”
Su Zhiyuan couldn't help but laugh and rubbed her head: "Let Ruyi go to Buzhuang tomorrow." ”
Banxia simply sat directly on Su Zhiyuan's lap, hugged his neck, and said softly: "Xianggong, I will go with Ruyi tomorrow, I want to choose the cloth myself, okay~"
Su Zhiyuan really didn't worry about her alone, and thought about it: "Then tomorrow, I will be with you, it just so happens that I have been in the study for a few days with some chest tightness, and it is good to go out for a walk." ”
After waiting for a long time, he couldn't hear the little lady's voice, Su Zhiyuan looked down and saw that she had fallen asleep on his chest, breathing shallowly, and her temples were scattered.
Su Zhiyuan smiled lightly, kissed her forehead, hugged her to the couch, and habitually protected her stomach with his wide palms.
A dreamless night.
It was very early on this day in Banxia: "Mama Su, do you know where there is a cloth village around here?" ”
"Mrs. Hui, go out from Pingyun Lane, go right on Chang'an Avenue, and you can see a cloth village not far away," Mama Su said.
Su Zhiyuan tightened the cloak on Banxia's body: "It's still a little cold in the early spring morning, be careful." ”
A group of people set off in a mighty way.
Because it was not far away, Su Zhiyuan and Banxia did not take the carriage, they should all walk and relax, and Su Yi and Ruyi followed behind.
Banxia held Su Zhiyuan's hand, looked at the people on Chang'an Street who were dressed in new clothes, carriages coming and going, a prosperous scene, and praised: "It is worthy of the capital!" ”
"Xianggong, there is Buzhuang in front." Banxia pointed to the three-story house in the distance.
When they reached the door, a carriage also stopped at the door, and a beautiful woman got out of the carriage, and her every move was full of grace.
When the woman saw Banxia and the others, she smiled politely, and then entered the cloth village.
The shopkeeper seemed to know the woman, and he ran over with a dog's leg and said with a smile: "The king..."
The grandmother behind the woman interrupted: "Today, my wife wants to buy some fabrics for the young lady, what new patterns have come out recently?" ”
The shopkeeper nodded: "Yes, some have, Madame, please upstairs." ”
Before going upstairs, he glanced at Su Zhiyuan and the others, although the clothes on the two of them were ...... It's okay, but they are all dignified and extraordinary, and they are busy giving a look to the guy: hurry up and entertain.
The guy ran over: "Two guest officers, what do you want to see?" ”
Banxia took out the drawings: "The skirt on this may be made?" ”
The guy reached out and took it: "This skirt is so beautiful, it looks better than the latest styles in the store!" Madame, wait, I'll go find the shopkeeper. ”
The guy went up to the second floor with a happy face.
On the second floor, the shopkeeper is introducing several new skirts to the beautiful woman: "These skirts have just arrived, the material is Song Jin, the thickness is moderate, and it is the most comfortable to wear. ”
The beautiful woman swept her eyes, nothing special.
At this moment, the man ran up, took a few pieces of paper in his hand, first saluted the beautiful woman, and then leaned into the shopkeeper's ear and muttered a few words, and then presented the drawings.
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and the styles drawn on these drawings will definitely be sold in Beijing.
The shopkeeper couldn't wait to rush down immediately, and when he saw the graceful and luxurious beautiful woman beside him, he sighed in his heart: There is an ancestor here, you must not offend, first serve this well.
Suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, he said to the young man: "First invite the guests downstairs to come up and serve good tea." ”
"Yes, the little ones will go."
