Chapter 45: The Wedding Dress
During the time when Bai Jiujiu was in a hurry, Xu Huaiqing rarely came to disturb her, that is, after the third watch, he would remind her to go to bed, and if Bai Jiujiu was unwilling, he would blow out the oil lamp.
Bai Jiujiu was helpless, thinking that he was saving lamp oil, but unexpectedly heard Xu Huaiqing and Wang's conversation, saying that she embroidered too late, easy to hurt her eyes, Bai Jiujiu's heart was warm, so far she didn't stay up too late, anyway, she was sure to finish it.
After a month, all the work was done. The Shen family handed over the news, saying that in order to prepare for the eldest lady's wedding, they were too busy, and everyone couldn't spare time, could they let someone send them over.
Bai Jiujiu agreed, originally the wedding dress, although it has a size, it is also necessary for the bride to get on the body to know whether it fits or not, in case it is to be changed, she will save a lot of trouble when she is present.
Xu Huaiqing said that he would go with her, but he was rejected by Bai Jiujiu, although his legs are slowly getting better, but it is not so convenient, and the store at home also needs a reliable person to watch.
In the end, it was discussed, accompanied by the Wang family, Xu Huaiqing was not satisfied, but there was no way.
Bai Jiujiu and the others hired a carriage, carried things up, and set off towards the capital.
Now that the family's income is stable, the Wang family is also much more generous, and they don't feel that renting a carriage is a waste.
The Shen Mansion is very magnificent, there are two stone lions lying at the gate, with angry eyes, and there are small people coming in and out constantly, it seems that they are not lying when they say that they are busy.
The carriage stopped at the door for a while, and someone came to ask, Wang had already been shocked, she was a country woman, the first time she came to this kind of occasion, she couldn't speak at all for a while, or Bai Jiujiu stepped forward and talked to the other party calmly.
"This steward, we are here to send a wedding dress to the eldest lady of your mansion, and we are tired of going in and reporting it."
That person originally saw that Bai Jiujiu was dressed in general, and the carriage was very ordinary, and some of them couldn't look down on it, but when they heard Bai Jiujiu say this, they didn't dare to underestimate it, because Zhang's mother specially explained that there would be an embroidery girl to send a wedding dress to the door in the past two days, and if he embarrassed others here, he would be embarrassed inside.
"Since you are giving wedding dresses, then go in, the young lady and lady inside are very busy, and I guess I don't have time to come out and pick you up in person."
The man looked into the carriage, and when he was sure that it was embroidery, he let them in. Seeing that there were only two of them, but there were a lot of things, I specially found someone to help send them in.
Bai Jiujiu thanked him and handed him a string of money, the next person's expression was even gentler, and he couldn't help but look at Bai Jiujiu differently, this woman is rare and sensible.
Suddenly, another carriage came with a bang, and the subordinates suddenly didn't care about Bai Jiujiu and them, and greeted them with a smile on their faces.
"Han Gongzi, you're here."
A gentle young man got out of the carriage, gorgeously dressed and with an extraordinary bearing, he nodded slightly, and raised his feet into the Shen Mansion.
Bai Jiujiu avoided the side, and waited for him to go in before preparing to go in.
"Wait, go this way."
The subordinate who helped her with her things hurriedly stopped her and pointed to a corner door next to her.
Bai Jiujiu didn't care, this kind of family with identity is more exquisite, she is just a little embroidery girl, so naturally there is no reason to go to the front door.
Shen Mansion was already very magnificent from the outside, who expected that the inside was even more exquisite, Bai Jiujiu had seen a more magnificent place than this in his previous life, and he didn't show any shocked looks. It's just that this is the first time for Wang to come to this kind of place, and his eyes are already not enough to see.
The people inside should have gotten the news, so they were waiting for them in the flower hall, Bai Jiujiu glanced at it and found that they were all female dependents, and the graceful and noble one in the middle was probably the hostess of the Shen Mansion.
When Bai Jiujiu saw the ceremony, he explained his intentions, and then sent the embroidery.
"Thank you for your hard work, lady of the Xu family."
Seeing her generous attitude, Mrs. Shen liked it very much in her heart and nodded gently. Then someone moved a stool over and poured tea for them, Bai Jiujiu did not refuse, and sat down generously.
Mrs. Shen didn't speak again, but the other ladies present spoke first.
"I heard that the embroidery of the Xu family is exquisite, rare in the world, and has the effect of curing diseases, is this true?"
These words were asked by looking at Bai Jiujiu. Hearing this, Bai Jiujiu smiled shallowly.
"This is what the guests like, exaggerated, but the things in the Xu family's store will do their best to give the best to the guests."
Her ability is quite special, as long as everyone knows it, admit it directly, but she is not so stupid. Hearing her say this, someone smiled at the person who spoke just now, "Second sister-in-law, just say that you drill the horns of the bull, how can there be such a good thing, it is better to see a doctor when you are sick." ”
The second sister-in-law glared unconvinced, "That's what everyone says outside." ”
Seeing that the two were about to argue, another woman interrupted their argument by speaking softly.
"Mother, I've heard of this Xu family's name for a long time, but I've never bought it, so it's better for us all to see it today."
As soon as the words fell, everyone echoed.
Mrs. Shen glanced at her second daughter and nodded.
"What about your eldest sister, why hasn't she arrived yet, has no one told her?"
"I've already told her that she should be there soon."
After finishing speaking, a slender figure appeared in front of everyone, Bai Jiujiu's eyes lit up, and he secretly praised in his heart, this is everyone's beauty, that figure, that eyebrows, that all-over temperament, put on the street, and it is also the most recognizable kind of person. She suddenly looked forward to it, and the other party must have been very beautiful when she wore the wedding dress she made.
After the main lord arrived, Mrs. Shen asked people to open the things one by one, and when the exquisite clothes were revealed in front of everyone, everyone was surprised.
"Oh my God, this wedding dress is too beautiful, the big sister must look good in it."
"These shoes are so unique, but they look good and I like them."
"Look at this embroiderer, such a small mandarin duck can be embroidered lifelike, it's really amazing, Xu family lady, how did you do it."
The exclamations of the girls and their wives were endless, their faces were full of envy, there was no doubt that what they were thinking at the moment was that if they or their own daughters got married, they must find the Xu family shop to help make the wedding dress, not to mention anything else, just this workmanship and style, it is already much better than the work in the ordinary embroidery room.
The eldest lady of the Shen family blushed and touched her wedding dress, her heart was stirring, she couldn't wait to put on such a good wedding dress.
Bai Jiujiu reminded in a timely manner, "Miss Shen might as well put it on and try it to see if there is anything that doesn't fit, I can help change it." ”
Miss Shen nodded, went to the next room to try on the wedding dress, and came out after a while, but she was still wearing the original dress, there are so many people here, the wedding dress is to be worn on the day of marriage, so naturally you can't wear it casually.
