Chapter 60
The amount that Jiang Xuehe set for Gu Sixian was easy for Gu Sixian, but it was not easy for other people who made silk flowers, after all, it was very difficult to find someone who could do silk embroidery and make clothes at the same time, so Xu Yirou didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and expressed her understanding very much.
The most important thing is that scarcity is expensive, because it is difficult for people with such craftsmanship in Songyue County and even their entire prefecture to find a second one, so these things that Gu Sixian is doing now are very valuable and valuable. But once she does too much, she is tired and half dead, and these things are not very valuable in the eyes of those rich ladies, the most typical example is Cao Baozhen.
Jinxiufang is Mrs. Cao's industry, and when Gu Sixian handed over the first batch of goods, the shopkeeper picked the best pairs and sent them to Mrs. Cao and Cao Baozhen, and Cao Baozhen couldn't put it down at that time. But later, Gu Sixian did more and more, and Cao Baozhen basically picked the best every time, and Cao Baozhen came and went, Cao Baozhen's vision became higher and higher, and she felt more and more that the silk flower was not a rare thing, and even watched other girls scramble to buy it, and felt that people were stupid.
She didn't bother to pick the batch that Gu Sixian sent in the end, thinking that there would be better ones in the future anyway, so why rush at this time? Where did Cao Baozhen think that there would be no future at all?
Xu Yirou was so excited when she got the clothes that she couldn't say anything, and she even wished that it was a peony banquet that day, so that she could put the clothes out immediately. Xu Yishu was much more stable, but she was also very surprised. It was also helpless for her to hand over the finished dress to Gu Sixian that day, and she didn't expect too much, but she didn't expect Gu Sixian to do something that completely exceeded her expectations.
On the day of the peony banquet, before Xu Yishu left the gate of the Wen family, many concubines and sisters-in-law came to ask her about the clothes and silk flowers.
"The material of this dress was specially brought back by Erlang when he went out to talk about business, as for the tailors, they are the tailors commonly used by the Wen family, nothing special."
The Wen family's daughter-in-law didn't believe this, and Xu Yishu's sister-in-law Wen Yu'er immediately said: "Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense, can I still not know the craftsmanship of the Wen family's tailors?" Where is the person who can make such clothes? ”
Xu Yishu said with a smile: "The clothes are indeed made by the tailors of the Wen family, if you don't believe it, you can just ask." It's just that although the clothes were made by the tailors of the Wen family, the embroidery on them was embroidered by a distant sister of my mother's family, and this silk flower was also made by that sister. ”
Wen Yu'er pouted and said, "Sister-in-law's maiden sister is at least seventeen or eighteen, which one I don't know?" How come I haven't met such a skillful hand? ”
The Xu family has a large population, and there are originally eight or nine girls, plus there are several girls in the Gu family, and her miscellaneous sisters add up to seventeen or eighteen. Wen Yuer had a good relationship with Xu Yishu, and even accompanied her back to the ancient family to live for a while, and indeed recognized all the seventeen or eighteen younger sisters.
Xu Yishu said with a smile: "I have some relatives, but I am not very close, I have just resumed contact these days, and I may be close to each other in the future." ”
Wen Yuer was a little unimpressed when she heard this, thinking that she was not very close and had just resumed contact, and she actually made so many good things for Xu Yishu at once, thinking that it was a poor relative who came out of nowhere, in order to please the Xu family, she used her life's skills, right?
When she arrived at the door of Xu's house, Wen Yuer saw Xu Yirou in new clothes come out, and she was so surprised that she was almost speechless. Originally, Xu Yishu's body was very amazing, but Xu Yishu's pale green peony under the plain white skirt only felt dignified and graceful at first glance, and there was a bit of dust, and after a closer look, you will find that the embroidery on the top is very fine and vivid, and the more you look at it, the more beautiful it is.
And Xu Yirou can attract everyone's attention at a glance, seeing her coming from afar, like a fairy surrounded by butterflies.
"Looking at the style of this dress, it seems to be the same as my sister-in-law's, is it also made by the tailor of the Wen family?" Wen Yu'er asked, "But the embroidery on it and those moving butterflies......
"My distant sister is a silk flower maker, but she is also very good at embroidery. Some time ago, she made all the silk flowers in the Splendid Workshop, but she is not doing it in the Splendid Workshop now, and plans to do it alone. Xu Yishu said with a smile, "The third sister has a good relationship with her, so she gave her two lists and asked her to make silk flowers for me and the third sister, who knew that she actually made the third sister's clothes together." ”
"She's the one who made silk flowers in the Splendid Workshop before? So why not keep doing it? Wen Yu'er couldn't help asking.
"Didn't my mother hold a peach blossom banquet before? Cao Baozhen mocked the silk flowers she made at the banquet, and she was not very happy. Her family background is not very good, and it is inconvenient to open a shop, so her sister-in-law asked her to take orders to do it. ”
Xu Yirou also said: "If Cao Baozhen's little belly chicken intestines know, she will definitely find trouble, so she usually doesn't come forward, if Yu'er wants to find her to make silk flowers in the future, just look for me." ”
Wen Yu'er smiled: "Sister-in-law and Rou'er both protect her so well, it really makes me curious." But I also want her to help customize a dress, Rou'er can help me get in touch? ”
Xu Yirou smiled: "That's not good, where is such clothes easy to make?" She made a rule there, only one dress a month, and this month has already been made for me, and you're afraid you'll have to wait until next month. ”
"How can there be such a rule?" Wen Yu'er was stunned, thinking that her second sister-in-law's distant sister was also stupid, and she could still push the business sent to the door out, but she was not in a hurry for the time being, "Then help me arrange it, just make me a dress next month." ”
Xu Yirou agreed: "Okay, I'll ask you, if she doesn't take the order alone, then I'll ask her to do it for you next month." When she agrees, I'll come back to you to ask for food. She doesn't provide materials there, she does whatever you give. ”
Wen Yu'er smiled: "It should be." ”
She thought, a dilapidated household that can't even afford to open a single shop will naturally not have any good material, and if she really lets the other party make her own materials, she should not be at ease.
At this peony banquet, it was no surprise that the Xu family sisters became the two most eye-catching people, from the time the two of them walked into the Cao family to the time they walked out of the Cao family, they have always attracted everyone's attention. Although the peony of the Cao family is good, there are not many people in Songyue County who understand peony, in their opinion, how can peony be as good as the Xu family sisters?
Although Xu Yishu is married, Xu Yirou is still in the boudoir, and she has not even decided on a family. Many young people at the banquet were ready to move, and they wanted to let the elders set Xu Yirou for themselves after returning home.
And those who understand peonies feel that the peony banquet of the Cao family is very boring. These peony flowers of the Cao family are well raised, but this variety is not rare, and it is not a real precious variety, they are all secretly fooled in their hearts, thinking that the peony flower of the Cao family is not as good as the silk flower of the bean green peony on Xu Yishu's head.
The Cao family originally held this peony banquet to show off their family's skills, and by the way, they gave their baby daughter Cao Baozhen a good look. Although the Cao family thinks that Xu Zixi is a good person and is barely worthy of their daughter in all aspects, the Xu family has no intention of marrying the Cao family! In the past, when the Gu family wanted to divorce the Gu family, they didn't reveal what they meant to Cao Baozhen, but now that the Gu family has taken a fancy to Gu Sixian, they are naturally even more bored with Cao Baozhen.
Her baby daughter has not been looked down upon by the Xu family, which makes Mrs. Cao very unhappy, she doesn't think the Xu family is good, but why does the Xu family look down on her baby girl? Therefore, in addition to showing Cao Baozhen, Mrs. Cao has another purpose for holding this peony banquet, that is, to dress up her baby daughter well, let Cao Baozhen dominate the Quartet at the peony banquet, and trample the two daughters of the Gu family under her feet!
For this reason, Mrs. Cao and Master Cao have been preparing for a long time, specially making clothes for the light cloud yarn that Cao Baozhen got from, and also bought all kinds of jewelry to decorate Cao Baozhen's body. The effect of this beginning was also very good, and every guest who entered the Xu family saw Cao Baozhen, who was dressed in jewels, felt that she was brilliant and indescribably expensive, and almost blinded people's eyes.
But most people have never seen so many jewels at one time, so everyone is amazed, even if their eyes hurt from flashing, they can't help but look at Cao Baozhen, Cao Baozhen is very proud.
But when the Xu sisters came in, those people's eyes changed. is also made of light cloud yarn, although Cao Baozhen's body is extravagant, but the gold thread jewelry on her body has long destroyed the elegant elegance that light cloud yarn should have, and the clothes of the Xu sisters reflect this very well.
Speaking of headdresses, the Xu sisters don't have many headdresses, but they are just right, especially the silk flowers on their heads are lifelike and eye-catching. Although those silk flowers are not as valuable as Cao Baozhen's jewelry, they are also rare for most people in Songyue County.
In terms of appearance, Cao Baozhen was originally slightly inferior to the Xu family sisters by three points, so as long as there were Xu family sisters on the occasion, Cao Baozhen would dress herself up in a fancy way, and today she was even more gorgeous. However, in front of today's Xu family sisters, this beauty has become vulgar and unbearable, making many young men lose their desire to take a few more looks.
Mrs. Cao didn't expect things to turn out like this, she obviously wanted to look at her daughter for her, but why did these young people fall in love with Xu Yirou? Isn't she making wedding dresses for others? It's more than worth the loss!
Cao Baozhen was even more angry that her eyes were red, in the past, only Chen Yanyan, who had a big pressure on her, pressed her everywhere, and the Xu sisters were able to rely on her clothes and jewelry, but how can the clothes and jewelry of the Xu sisters be so beautiful than her today? Even Chen Yanyan, the most beautiful in their Songyue County, was overshadowed in front of the Xu family sisters.
Chen Yanyan was also very blushing when she saw it, but she had always been good at disguise, so she just quietly asked Xu Yirou who made her clothes, Cao Baozhen heard the voice, and quickly pricked up her ears.
