Chapter 37 Extraordinary
Just like when she left the Song family, Lin Yingxue came back quietly and did not alarm anyone.
"What do you see, how is this garment?" As soon as she stepped into the front yard, Lin Yingxue heard Chang's mother showing off the new clothes she had just made.
Lin Yingxue hadn't seen a play for a long time, so at this time she involuntarily stopped, and intentionally or unintentionally found a place to cover her figure and stand.
"Wow, Mother Chang's new clothes are so beautiful!"
"Chang's mother looks really young in this dress!"
"Chang's mother is really slim in this dress!"
In order to please the celebrity around this old lady of Song, the surrounding maids are afraid that they will say all the words against their will in this life.
Lin Yingxue wanted to laugh when she heard it, and she didn't know if she knew that these maids were just deliberately pleasing her, and Chang's mother's face did not look good because of these people's praise.
"Eh, Mom's clothes are made of Shu brocade, right?" There was finally a knowledgeable person in the crowd, and as soon as she spoke, Chang's mother's face overflowed with a smile.
"Not really!" She nodded with a smile and said proudly: "It's the legendary Shu brocade that is more expensive than gold!" Now the road is being built into Shu, and the official roads are temporarily closed, and Shu brocade is becoming more and more expensive. ”
"The Shu brocade in our house was brought back by the master of the Li family who just came back from other places, and I heard that there were seven or eight horses in total, and half of them were sent to our Song family!"
Chang's mother's proud boast floated into Lin Yingxue's ears, and she naturally keenly captured the strangeness of Chang's mother's words - there are not many such precious cloths in the Li family, but they specially sent half of them to the Song family, which is not something that ordinary people can do!
Lin Yingxue's eyes flashed, and she saw that Chang's mother was still tirelessly showing off her new clothes with her subordinates, as if it was some rare treasure. But if anyone with a discerning eye can actually see that the so-called new clothes made of Shu brocade on Chang's mother are actually a dress made of many scraps pieced together!
The complicated colors and mismatched patterns are put together, no matter how you look at it, it feels a little nondescript, and it is rare for Chang Mother to show off everywhere as if this dress was a treasure.
"Mother Chang." Seeing that she had almost heard everything she should have heard, Lin Yingxue couldn't help but straighten her clothes and walked out of the darkness with a smile on her face.
Although Lin Yingxue is not an unusual person for the Song family, seeing Lin Yingxue's figure suddenly appear in front of her eyes, Chang's mother couldn't help but be startled.
"Miss Lin?" She glanced at Lin Yingxue suspiciously, probably surprised that Lin Yingxue was not hiding in Murong Jun's mansion and what she was doing when she came back.
However, Lin Yingxue didn't pay any attention to the doubts in Chang's mother's eyes, she circled around Chang's mother's body with a smile on her face, and praised Chang's mother's new clothes a few words, and then said slowly: "...... It's just that it stands to reason that this Shu brocade can only be worn by the master, and I don't know that Chang's mother makes this dress, do the old lady and Mrs. know? ”
Lin Yingxue's rhetorical question made Chang's mother stand in place on the spot, and after she was stunned for a moment, a little cold sweat suddenly oozed on her forehead - she just wanted to use the leftovers of these masters to make a dress, but she forgot that she couldn't wear such a precious fabric with her identity!
"And the old lady and the lady probably won't use such a precious cloth to reward their subordinates!" Seeing that Chang's mother's face changed rapidly, Lin Yingxue seized the opportunity to chase after her, and her tone gradually became stern: "Chang's mother stole the master's cloth without permission, I don't know what punishment should be according to the Song family's family law!" ”
"Slaves, slaves, slaves and maids are wronged!" Chang's mother was drunk by Lin Yingxue like this, and she was suddenly confused, she was so frightened that her legs were weak, but fortunately, the two maids on the side worked hard to support her, so she barely stabilized her fat body and didn't fall down.
"You ......"
"Early in the morning, they all gathered around the yard to make some noise! Don't you have any work to do? Just as Lin Yingxue was about to say something, the eldest lady suddenly walked out of it with her arm around Old Taijun Song.
Seeing that the two of them were dressed neatly, and the maid ring on the side was carrying a candle for incense, I thought that the two of them should have planned to go to the temple as soon as possible to offer incense, but they accidentally bumped into their dispute.
It just so happened that she was still trying to see how the old lady and the eldest lady of the Song family would deal with this matter!
"I've seen the old lady, the eldest lady." Lin Yingxue saluted, the majesty and momentum on her body faded in an instant, and she returned to that inconspicuous appearance in an instant.
When Mrs. Song heard this, she couldn't help but glance at Lin Yingxue, thinking that it was because of Lin Yingxue that so many things had happened in the Song family recently, and her face was not very good-looking when she looked at Lin Yingxue.
"Since you're back, you don't know how to come to me to say goodbye." Mrs. Song said angrily, with a very unhappy expression.
However, Lin Yingxue didn't care, she was like a bottomless cold pool, no matter what the Song family threw into it, she looked calm and waveless, at least in the eyes of the Song family.
"I'm going to go." Lin Yingxue continued the conversation unhurriedly, "It's just that Chang's mother said that she made a new dress out of Shu brocade, and Yingxue thought that she hadn't worn the clothes made of Shu brocade so much, so she couldn't help but stop and take a second look." ”
Mother Chang on the side originally listened to Lin Yingxue's words, and was thinking about how to cover up this matter in a low-key manner, but she didn't expect Lin Yingxue to lead the fire to her body in a few words, and she had already put on this dress, so she couldn't take it off at this time just because she wanted to hide people's eyes......
"Mother Chang?" Just when Chang's mother was so anxious that she was sweating and didn't know what to do, the eldest lady's gaze at her had changed from plain to displeased, "Where did you get this fabric?" ”
If it is a family with strong financial resources, it may be able to casually reward such a precious cloth as Shu brocade to the subordinates below, but the Song family is too far from such a situation!
Even in the eldest lady's own wardrobe, I am afraid that there will be no more than two sets of clothes made of Shu brocade, and now a subordinate can actually afford to wear such a precious fabric, so what is the meaning of this Shu brocade on the body?
"Madame, rest your anger!" Mother Chang knew that it was useless to defend at the moment, so it was better to admit her mistake generously, "These are all leftovers on the slave maid, all of which are left over after the lady and the old lady make the clothes, and it is not all Shu brocade, and the slave and maid also mixed other materials into it......"
"The slave maid is only greedy for vanity for a while, so I forgot the rules, and asked the eldest lady to spare the slave and maid this time, the slave and maid will never dare again!"
As Chang mother spoke, she kowtowed on the ground with a bitter face.
