Chapter 283 Pick Clothes
Brother Qian's birthday really quietly held a banquet in Kunning Palace, in fact, the affairs of Kunning Palace are all major events, there is nothing quiet, but the queen doesn't let people mention it or let people say it, so let's do it quietly.
The family also has the fourth and fifth princesses together, plus a greedy big white cat around the feet, meowing and meowing very cute.
The simple dishes are not complicated, they are all dishes ordered by Huilan herself, according to everyone's tastes and preferences, each person has two dishes that they love to eat to put together a table of banquet, and they take care of the tastes of everyone present.
The fourth princess and the fifth princess whispered: "I finally understand what is really good to you, I am really careful, I have learned a lot from the queen's sister-in-law, my eyes are bright." ”
"You're right, there are still a lot of things worth learning from us, do you know sister, I am suddenly not afraid of going out of the palace to build a mansion, and even a little looking forward to the freedom outside, I used to be afraid of going out of the palace to marry, and I didn't even want to eat or grow up, so I could escape from marrying, and now I'm not afraid."
The fifth princess looked at Hui Lan's bright and atmospheric figure, her eyes bright and confident.
"We're lucky, aren't we?"
The fourth princess grabbed the hand of the fifth sister and smiled very happily.
"yes, we're lucky."
"What have you been up to lately, sneaking around and not letting people know."
The fourth princess glanced at her sister.
"It's nothing, I drew some drawing boards of vegetables, herbs and animals, and I was going to give them to Brother Qian's literacy, but I was embarrassed to take them out before I was ready."
"Hey! What should I be, I'm still hiding, but it's really time for my brother to read. ”
The fourth princess immediately laughed.
The draft began, and Hui Lan was reviewing the information of the show girls in each household, selecting some excellent ones, and then taking them to Li Chengze for inspection and matching them to the children of the clan.
Huilan did it carefully, and the show girl's information wrote about her character, family background, brother's future, her own strengths, etc., and she made suggestions on whether she was a side room for his wife, which saved him a lot of time.
The show girls have already lived in the harem and started the selection, but the place where they live is almost close to the cold palace, very remote, it was originally the show girl who lived, and usually the palace maid lived if she didn't draft.
Huilan asked people to secretly observe the character and habits of the show girls, their words and deeds, and their disputes, so as to see their methods of doing things and so on.
Sister Xin took her brother and a white cat to see the beauties openly.
Lilac came back with a few new clothes, "Niangniang, the embroidery room sent new clothes, take a look?" ”
"Okay, I'll take a look."
Hui Lan put down her pen and stood up and stretched.
The high-waisted skirt embroidered with a red twig pattern is embroidered with gold thread to reveal wealth and gorgeousness.
The color of Tianshui blue is embroidered with beige flowers at the corners of the skirt, and the plain satin fabric is not too much modified, which looks elegant and beautiful.
The orchid purple brocade with the purple light gauze high-waisted skirt, the skirt that highlights the appearance and temperament, is obviously to please Huilan's preference.
"It's not bad, it's also their heart, reward."
"No."
"A lot of clothes are out of season before they are worn, which is also a waste."
Huilan is not a luxury person, but she is also a queen in saving, it is impossible to wronged her, many clothes are out of season before they have time to wear, and it is impossible to be on the upper body in the second year.
"Why don't you change it to something small, a cushion purse or a futon or something?"
"Well, take the time to do it, keep quiet. I can't give my clothes to others, and it's a pity to throw them all away if I don't wear them all once. ”
Huilan shook her head, it's not that she is a child, the clothes she wears are extremely expensive, all of them are the best materials for tribute, and a dress can top more than dozens of taels, not counting the embroidery of the embroiderer.
"Some fresh and tender materials can be changed for Sister Xin to wear, and the princess is happy to wear them."
Lilac said with a smile.
"Change that plain face to a skirt or something for her to wear, you can't teach the child to be extravagant and wasteful, in the future, she will go out of the palace to build a mansion by herself, and she still has to know how to be thrifty."
"Yes."
"It's not bad for you to let them change it into a purse and take it to reward people, you can keep it for yourself, there is always a place to go, and I feel that I am not so wasteful, this is all the tax money of the people."
Huilan lamented the royal extravagance, and when she was a Taoist aunt, she was just wearing a Taoist robe.
"After all, it's different that you are the queen mother, and some of the leaders still have to be decorated."
Lilac helped her change her clothes to try, and if it was not suitable, she had to take it back and change it, but fortunately, her figure has been maintained very standard for many years, and she hardly has to work too hard.
"Well, I know, I'll just mumble that. You stare at Sister Dianxin, don't let her make so many skirts, wear it, this child is just a hot one. ”
"Okay, Sister Xin is very sensible, many skirts have changed the clothes you didn't wear, and you didn't complain."
Lilac called the princess a grievance, but Huilan insisted that this was not a grievance, and there were too many jewelry and clothes in the bear child's house to pile up.
Children look good in red and pink, such delicate colors Huilan also has, they are all embroidered to please her, she doesn't like it very much, almost never wears it, lilacs are used to change into children's clothes, Sister Xin is not disgusted, happily upside down.
Another is for safety, the poisoning in the charcoal fire last time still made Huilan wake up.
Brother Qiange and Sister Xin's clothes embroidery room has a small number of pieces, which is required by Huilan, two pieces per quarter for two children is enough, and if it is not enough, there are materials to be made on their own side.
The clothes he wore didn't dare to be poisoned, so many of Brother Qian's clothes were bright red, all of which were made by the people in front of Huilan, and there were too many materials in Kunning Palace to fill the warehouse.
Therefore, every year, Huilan's clothes Sister Xin's clothes can't be worn anymore, these things can be modified, made into shoes, handkerchiefs, cushions, purses, etc., rewarded to the palace maids, serious tribute materials, do not wronged them.
Sometimes the princess and the fifth princess will also come to pick out clothes and take them back to wear, and they can choose clothes that are not taboo to take back to wear, and they are happy. Hui Lan's clothes are carefully embroidered, the craftsmanship is superb, it looks extremely beautiful, the two children love beauty, Hui Lan let them pick anything in the wardrobe, and take it away if they like.
Hui Lan looked at it and smiled with satisfaction, "I still like these two plain dresses." ”
"You're the queen, and you still have to have it."
"You're right, don't I wear it a lot."
"Sister-in-law, wow! My sister-in-law's clothes are so beautiful and fairy. ”
The fifth and fourth princesses entered the door.
"Newly made, I like these two very much, we were just talking about the clothes in the wardrobe and can't be piled up, you two go and see, if there is anything you like, I haven't worn many delicate colors, don't dislike my sister-in-law and take it back to wear."
I haven't touched a lot of colors, and there are a few bright yellows, why do you want to make clothes for me, I'm not fifteen or sixteen years old. ”
Huilan shook her head, the embroidery room is really good at figuring out people's hearts, how much I want to pretend to be tender.
"Sister-in-law, then we're welcome, sister-in-law's clothes are all good-looking, I must choose a few more."
The fifth princess laughed and ran happily to pick it up, and now she is acting more and more magnificently.
