Chapter 179: A Chance Encounter with the Dead

The Shangsi Festival is coming, Xiao Rongyue, as a lady to be married, can no longer go to Qujiang to see the excitement, Zheng's mother is afraid that she will be too bored, and she happens to go to the Nishang Pavilion to see how the embroidery work of the marriage is doing, so she took Sanqi and Guangdan to accompany Xiao Rongyue to the East Market.

Ni Shang Pavilion is a famous tailoring shop in Chang'an, even Xiao Rongyue's silk shop has business dealings with Ni Shang Pavilion, Xiao Rongyue has become a guest of honor in Ni Shang Pavilion, and her wedding dress and quilt are also made by the best tailor lady.

As soon as she arrived at the Nishang Pavilion, Xiao Rongyue was politely invited to the private room by the courtier, and the shopkeeper lady Red Lady came to greet her in person, with a smile on her face: "Xiao Niangzi is here, I haven't seen her for a long time, but she is really a distinguished guest." ”

Xiao Rongyue smiled and greeted her: "The business in the shop is getting better and better, and the guests below are like clouds, all of them are good at running by women." ”

The red lady has heard that Xiao Rongyue married into the Huainan Hou Mansion, and she was also very surprised, after all, in Chang'an as a merchant girl married into the Xungui Mansion, that is a rare thing, she wondered in her heart what kind of ability this Xiao Niang has to make the Huainan Hou Mansion look good.

It's just that this time I saw that Xiao Rongyue was very amiable, so I was a little more cordial: "The lady has won the award, and she is all a regular customer like the lady." He smiled and instructed the little maid in the shop: "Go and pour fragrant tea for Mrs. Xiao." ”

Zheng's mother asked about the wedding dress: "...... The wedding date in April was previously said to be sent over in these two days, but I don't know what is going on now. ”

The red lady showed a little embarrassment on her face at this time, and her words were not as smooth and comfortable as before: "This ...... Please forgive me, there are several more transactions in the shop these days, and there is not enough manpower for a while, so I am afraid that I will have to wait a few more days to send it over. ”

Zheng's mother was anxious: "I have already set a date, and in a few days the house over there will send a dowry gift, and we will also send a dowry here, but it will not be ......ready yet."

Xiao Rongyue called Zheng's mother softly, and then turned her head and said to the red lady: "But what's the matter in the shop?" She is also in charge, and knows that it is impossible for the shop to offend customers at will because of good business, and she will not change the delivery time at will, otherwise her reputation will be ruined in the future.

The red lady listened to her and asked kindly, after all, she sighed lowly, and then said: "I don't hide it from the lady, there is another noble house, and we also set a wedding dress in our shop, but it is urgent for people to come to the door, and we have to send it over in these two days, we really have no way, we can only let the tailors and girls rush to work day and night, just hope that it can be done as soon as possible, and do not delay these transactions." ”

Xiao Rongyue raised her eyebrows, but she understood the meaning of the red lady's vague refusal to say clearly, thinking about the powerful family, Nishang Pavilion naturally did not dare to offend, so she could only delay the business in her hand first.

She was about to open her mouth to talk to the red lady, but she heard the little maid outside coming over in a hurry, and her face was embarrassed: "Lady, Zhao Niangzi is here." ”

The red lady's face changed slightly, she got up busily, and smiled at Xiao Rongyue: "Guests are here, I'll go over to say hello first." ”

Xiao Rongyue nodded with a smile: "I'll take a look at the style of the new dress, and let them greet me, the lady is at her own convenience." ”

The red lady instructed the other housekeeper to accompany her here, and she hurried downstairs.

Zhao Wan wore a power fence, helped the maid to get out of the carriage, followed by the housekeeper's mother Zhong's mother, and walked gracefully to the neon dress pavilion, seeing the red lady who hurriedly came to salute herself, Zhong's mother stepped forward and said: "The lady came to see the wedding dress, and then pick a few styles to make a few curtains." ”

The red lady secretly complained in her heart, she didn't dare to show it on her face, and asked Zhao Wan to go upstairs to the private room with a smile.

Zhao Wan had a graceful posture, but she didn't say a word to the red lady, didn't even look at it, looked up and followed the red lady and walked up.

The Nishang Pavilion has a spacious pavement, and there are four or five private rooms upstairs, all of which are hung low with thin bamboo curtains in front of the door, which can be regarded as elegantly blocking the sight of outsiders.

When passing by Xiao Rongyue's private room, Zhao Wan heard the voice of Zheng's mother inside: "...... I'm afraid that if I delay for a few more days, I won't be able to pack up the cage in time. ”

Xiao Rongyue smiled lightly: "It's okay, it will take early April to send a dowry, just wait a few days." ”

Zheng's mother was worried: "I'm just afraid that the Huainan Hou Mansion will be picky, and if there is anything wrong, it will be too late to even change it." ”

Huainan Hou Mansion! Zhao Wan suddenly slowed down, looked at the hanging bamboo curtain several times, and still didn't speak, until she entered her private room, and then asked the red lady: "Who is sitting in that private room?" ”

The red lady was a little embarrassed, she shouldn't have revealed the identity of the guest, but the lady in front of her ...... She still opened her mouth: "It's Mrs. Xiao from the Xiao Mansion in Shengyefang, and she also came to see the wedding dress and wedding quilt." ”

Mother Zhong was a little surprised: "Is it the Xiao lady who is going to marry into the Huainan Hou Mansion?" She also ordered a quilt in your shop? ”

The red lady laughed with her: "Yes, she set it early, and she has already picked out the tricks when she comes out of the New Year." ”

Mother Zhong pouted: "The Huainan Hou Mansion is now more and more unpopular, the prince and the lord of Leyang County are married, and Cheng Wulang married such a ...... But she was embarrassed to come out and marry. ”

Zhao Wan interrupted her and asked the red lady: "She came by herself?" ”

I heard that this Xiao lady is deeply liked by Princess Yingchuan, and she has always been with her, always in and out of Yingchuan Palace, and now she is married to Huainan Hou Mansion in such an identity, I am afraid that it is not so simple.

The red lady said in a low voice: "I brought a mother and a few maidservants." She was very sorry for Xiao Rongyue in her heart, and she had to tell Zhao Wan all these things as a last resort.

Zhao Wan pursed her lips and thought about it, and instructed Mother Zhong: "Mom followed the shopkeeper to see her, and said that I heard that she was also in the shop, so let you go over and say hello." ”

Mother Zhong was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "How can a lady have a relationship with such a person, she is just a ......"

It's just that before the words fell, she had already noticed Zhao Wan's cold eyes, and she hurriedly shut up, not daring to say more.

Zhao Wan smiled slightly: "In the future, they will all be people in Chang'an Xungui's Mansion, and there will always be contacts, since they have met, they should do their best." ”

Mother Zhong had to agree, full of suspicions, her own lady has always had a high vision, and the mansions in Chang'an are only willing to go back and forth with the second lady of the Ruyang Hou Mansion and the five ladies of the Qinghe County Wangfu, how could they suddenly want to walk around with such a lowly and humble person.

Seeing Mother Zhong pass, Zhao Wan was deep-sighted, showing a slight smile, and the maidservant behind her instructed the housekeeper in the shop: "Take the most fashionable shoes and socks to come over, pick the best, and give it to relatives on the recognition ceremony, don't be rude!" ”
