Chapter Forty-Eight: Gift-giving
When the two sisters came, Shang Ruonan tried it first. I dyed a slightly larger piece of fabric. Then it became a skirt and let the sisters see the effect, Shang Nianlan and Shang Wanglan applauded when they saw it. Then the sisters began to dye it.
The three of them carefully dyed the cut fabric slowly, and then left it to dry until it would dry tomorrow. Pick it up again and sew it up. Then I made this dress. Look at the dyed clothes, Wanglan said:
"I bet Miss Hu likes this, not just her, but I like it too!"
Two days later, the new clothes made for Miss Hu were completed. When a new dress was presented in front of Shu Yunniang, Shu Yunniang sighed that it looked good. And said that when he came out of the moon, he would also make a dress with his favorite flowers.
And in the past two days, Shang Ruonan began to draw some slightly detailed pictures, Uncle Gen found a person, and Shang Ruonan also saw it, it was the brother of the third lady's girl, Hongxing, named Ding Zhuang. He said he was a little over thirteen years old, but he looked like an honest person. Let him learn from Master Qin. Master Qin asked him to learn to play the edge and polish a rough wooden stick from the beginning, but he didn't expect his movements to be done quickly.
According to Master Qin, since he picked up the wooden stick, he didn't say a word, and he was seriously polishing there. It wasn't until the wooden stick was polished into a smooth wooden stick that he brought it to ask Master Qin if it was okay.
Master Qin said that this son can learn this skill. He was left behind, and Xue Jian was also discussing with Master Qin step by step how to make a better pattern.
After the new clothes are made. Shang Wanglan sent a greeting sticker to Hu Lishu, saying that she was going to send her something. immediately got a response and asked Shang Wanglan to go in the afternoon.
Hu Limei has always talked to Shang Wanglan because the two girls are about the same age, and they both like some poems, calligraphy, calligraphy and paintings. So it's not uncommon for each other to have some invitations sometimes.
In the afternoon of this day, the second sister Shang took the two girls Moxiang and Shuxiang and sent them down to the Hu family in a small sedan chair arranged by Uncle Gen.
The name of Hu Yaozu is Hu Yaozu, and he is really a glorious ancestor. It is said that his Hu family used to be a local landlord, and he still had some property, but he was only one official. And Hu Yaozu has been very popular with reading since he was a child, but he was admitted to a jinshi smoothly all the way, although the ranking is very low. But it also changed the courtyard of the landlord's house. In the future, it will be an official family.
The first thing Hu Zhifu did was the county order of a remote county, which was also his official luck. In the place where he did the county order, he found a silver mine that was not big or small. This made the court so happy that he was directly promoted to an official, so he was transferred here to be a prefect, and the emperor over there naturally sent his cronies to be the county magistrate. Defend the silver mine.
And the place where Governor Hu took office is still his hometown, and now he will completely glorify his ancestors! And since he became the prefect, he has not made mistakes, and he is not angry, but he has not moved his nest for fifteen years since he did it here! All three children were born here.
Hu Lishu is the only daughter of Hu Zhifu, the second in the family, and she is ten years old this year. usually follows her brother Hu Churui and younger brother Hu Xingrui in and out of the study, and accepts the teaching of the gentleman invited by her father, so Miss Hu's little pride comes from the arrogance of that kind of reader. Shang Wanglan also has this.
Shang Wanglan arrived at the Hu family, because the porter had already known that Miss Shang Er was coming. And the young lady's girl has already said hello at the concierge.
The small sedan chair was carried directly into the second gate, and Shang Wanglan got out of the carriage. The red note smiled and Mimi stepped forward and saluted:
"Second Miss, our young lady is in a hurry. Go in with the slaves. ”
Shang Wanglan chuckled:
"Your young lady is rarely in a hurry."
"Second Miss, you don't know yet, our young lady is not in a hurry for anything else, but she is in a hurry for what you want to send, she only says it is a good thing, but she is looking forward to seeing what a good thing it is."
As he spoke, he looked at the box that Mo Xiang was holding in his hand.
Shang Wanglan smiled:
"I see, it's you girl who is in a hurry. Lishu is not in a hurry! ”
The red note was also deliberately surprised:
"Oops. It's all seen through! ”
Several people knew that it was a joke, and they also walked inside as they spoke. Shang Wanglan looked at Zhengwu Road:
"I'd better go and salute Madame."
Hongzhi smiled:
"No, Mademoiselle told Madame at lunchtime. Madame happened to have a guest this afternoon, so she said that she would let Miss entertain you herself. Let's go. ”
Under the leadership of the red note, I came to a small courtyard on the left side of the backyard, this small courtyard is the same as my own kind of courtyard, there is a small flower platform, but Lishu planted some precious flowers and plants, but most of them did not survive.
This is also often a joke by Wanglan, saying that she had better not plant flowers, because as long as the flowers pass through her hands, they will die in the end. And the girls who planted it all survived.
Later, Hu Lishu gave these things to another girl, Xuezhan. It's been less than a year. This small courtyard is even more lush.
Although it is late autumn, there are still a few flowers blooming in it, which are some rare chrysanthemums. It was very lively.
"Miss, Miss, Miss Shang Er has arrived."
"You girl, screaming so loudly, I told you, be calm, you always don't listen, see how happy you are. I guess, did Miss Shang Er reward you again? ”
"Yikes! It's impossible to hide! ”
With this laughing and scolding, it was Hu Lishu who came out! Although Hu Lishu is only ten years old, it can be seen that she is a beautiful embryo. Although there is one point, that is, the skin is a little darker with Master Hu.
"Second Sister Shang."
"Lishu, how are you?"
Miss Hu and Shang Wanglan saluted together, and the two said hello at the same time. Then the two also looked at each other and smiled, and entered the house arm in arm.
Another big girl, Xue Zhan, hurriedly brought tea, served tea, and then went out. Mo Xiang and Shu Xiang also put down the box and went out with Xuezhan. A few girls are naturally friends, and they chatted in the yard, waiting for the ladies to order.
Because Lishu and Wanglan both like to chat by themselves, they don't want the girls to be present. So the two sat down and looked at each other and smiled, Wanglan took the initiative to say:
"I'm here today to think about my sister inviting my sister to come to the house in two days. I gave you a courtesy in advance. You see if you like it! This was made by a few novices of our sisters! ”
As he spoke, he opened the box on one side and took out the dress. As soon as she unfolded it gently, she saw Hu Lishu's eyes flashing with surprise, and said:
"Yikes! It's beautiful! ”
