The embroidery girl was originally a young lady, but she didn't expect her husband to die early after she got married, leaving her a lonely widow, she had no children, so she was kicked out by her husband's family. Fortunately, this embroiderer has a good hand in embroidery, and she will make clothes for the women of the major families in Kyoto, and occasionally be hired by these families to teach some embroidery skills to the women of those families.

Jin Ran invited this embroidery girl for the sake of these sisters of the Zhang family, even though she always had some bitterness towards the Zhang family because of the two sisters Zhang Qi and Zhang Zi, but she had no bad intentions towards others. After all, for some girls from the Zhang family, entering the palace is also a way to change their fate, even if Jin Ran does not agree, he will not easily deny other people's ideas.

"Sister Jinran." It was Zhang Yan who spoke, the undercurrent fluctuations between the Sheng family and the Zhang family in the past few days, Rao is just a girl from a separate family also felt a little, and she was so lively that she was inevitably a little more restrained when facing Jinran. Zhang Yan was a little worried that because of her identity as the daughter of the Zhang family, Jin Ran would have something to worry about herself.

Although the Zhang family is also said to be the Zhang family, after all, it is only the same clan, especially Zhang Yan, the blood relationship between her and the serious Zhang family is already out of the five suits. So she is actually not very close to the Zhang family, otherwise she would not have taken the lead in doing right with Zhang Zi before.

Zhang Yan will definitely choose the Zhang family between the Sheng family, which is gradually gaining momentum, and the Zhang family, which has little connection and is gradually declining.

But she was worried that Jin Ran would mind something.

How could Jin Ran not know what she was thinking? However, it is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, she has no other thoughts about Zhang Yan's careful thinking, but secretly reminds herself not to take her behavior too seriously, after all, the Sheng family and the Zhang family must be stronger at this moment, but the Sheng family is not the strongest family in Kyoto, if there is someone who can help Zhang Yan more, Zhang Yan will definitely abandon the Sheng family again. This kind of person can only be rich and rich.

However, there are also usages of such people...... Jin Ran's heart was full of thoughts, but she didn't show anything on her face, she smiled kindly at the girls of the Zhang family who followed Zhang Zi in: "You are all here?" Come on in. Everyone measures the size and chooses the pattern or something. ”

These maids behind the girls of the Zhang family all took the materials selected by the ladies to the silk shop yesterday, and they all grew up surrounded by piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at home, and they knew best what they wanted to wear. After a while, the girls came to the embroidery girl and chose what style of dress they wanted to make.

And Jin Ran also took advantage of everyone's speech to summon the embroidery lady over, and she asked a little shyly: "Mama Zhang, I heard that your tailoring skills are a must." I want to make a man's clothes, and I'm bothering you to teach me. ”

The embroidery lady is quite old, and the young lady of the family who teaches is not a hundred but eighty, what do you not understand when she sees Jin Ran so shy and timid? She smiled and returned: "I hope Miss will give me all the size and everything, and I will give you a few tricks for reference." ”

Jin Ran was very familiar with the size of the other party's halberd, and immediately blurted out, and after she finished speaking, she smiled: "That person is taller and stronger, and he always spends more fabric than others." ”

The embroidery girl was a little puzzled after listening to the size that Jin Ran said, she quickly took out a small book she was carrying, flipped it forward and handed it to Jin Ran: "Girl, take a look, is it the same size as this?" ”

Jin Ran was a little surprised, because she reported not only general sizes such as waist circumference, but also small sizes such as sleeve length, shoulder width, and elbow width, it would not be unusual if someone had the same waist circumference as Fang Tianji, but it would be a little strange if all of them were the same.

She stretched out her hand to take the small book handed by the embroidery lady and swept it roughly, and the number on this book was exactly the same as the number she had just reported. She couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Huh? Mama, do you still have General Fang's size here? ”

The grandmother nodded: "This size was given to the old man by a young lady who helped manage General Fang's family, and she was also making clothes for General Fang, and she just reported the size to me a few days ago." ”

"The lady who helped with the house?" Jin Ran was a little surprised, she tried to ignore the awkwardness that rose in her heart, and continued to ask, "Is it a young lady or a maid?" Which one? How could she go to General Fang's Mansion to take care of things? ”

After Jin Ran finished speaking, she found that she had asked three or four questions in a row, she pursed her lips a little embarrassed, her eyes drooped slightly, staring at the white porcelain tea cup in her hand, and stopped talking.

This embroidery girl is also a person in half of Jinran's shop, so she naturally knows everything about Jinran, and knows everything: "Miss, don't worry, this young lady is the daughter of an old subordinate under General Fang, and the old subordinate once saved General Fang's life, so General Fang loves the old general very much, as for the steward, it is also because the old subordinate died early in his life, and the general sometimes summons his relatives to the house to give something or something."

Jin Ran was still a little uneasy when she heard this, although she had no doubts about the character of the other party's heavenly halberd, but her fiancé was coveted by others, but it was really unpleasant.

She secretly thought about the matter at hand, planning to go to Fang Tianji's mansion to meet this young lady who was familiar with her fiancé's clothing size.

But the clothes still have to be done well, so she simply let go of these things first and asked Mama Zhang for advice.

Jin Ran's plan is to make a set of outer shirts for Fang Tianji first, anyway, there are a lot of those outer shirts Fang Tianji, and Fang Guifei also gave him a lot, the most important thing is to make more underwear, socks and other things, these things are all personal things, they are generally prepared by the hostess of the house for the men in the family, and Jin Ran is not too good to get these out.

The ladies of the Zhang family quickly chose their favorite dresses, and the rest just had to wait slowly, but there were a lot of people in Jinran's workshop, so this half-day effort could be done, and then they could still catch up with the second retest.

When Jin Ran packed everything up, the big eunuch beside Fang Guifei arrived at the Sheng Mansion, and he and Jin Ran were also familiar with each other, so he didn't alarm everyone when he came, but just quietly came over to pass the word: "Lord Jinrui, Niang Niang summoned you into the mansion!" I said that I was talking to you about the draft. ”

Jin Ran understood in her heart that Fang Guifei wanted to give herself some convenience, after all, Fang Guifei could be regarded as able to compete with the queen, and her marriage will was also very weighty. Now there are a lot of people in the Sheng family and the Zhang family, and it is estimated that Fang Guifei is thinking of helping Jinran promote several family members.

Jin Ran naturally wouldn't contribute to the Fang family, but she still needed to go to the palace, so she went into the palace with her father-in-law and went to Concubine Fang.

Fang Guifei has been very busy recently, and all the powers of the six palaces that the queen was taken away by the emperor have been handed over to Fang Guifei. There were originally a lot of things in this palace, especially the emperor's left room and right room have to add many newcomers to the palace. Especially the new draft is imminent, and Fang Guifei has to be busy until late at night every day. Now that there is still one day left, this show girl is about to enter the palace, and Concubine Fang is only busy and has started to rest for two days.

When Jin Ran arrived, Fang Guifei was lying on the couch with her eyes closed and half crooked, her hair was loose and loose, and her snow-white face looked particularly elegant without powder.

Fang Guifei seemed to be sleeping very deeply, and Jin Ran didn't make much noise when she came in, she was so careful that she stood on tiptoe and quietly walked to Fang Guifei's side to put on a velvet blanket for Fang Guifei. Just as Jin Ran was looking for a blanket all over the world, Fang Guifei opened her eyes, she blinked in confusion and looked at Jin Ran, who was holding a velvet blanket in her hand, and smiled: "You kid, why don't you tell me when you come?" Isn't it a long wait? If you're tired, sit down. ”

As she spoke, she started slowly from the couch, Fang Guifei casually brushed the broken hair scattered on her sideburns behind her ears, and a little green flashed on her snow-white wrist.

Jin Ran sat down on the small table that Fang Guifei pointed out, and she smiled slightly: "Back to Guifei, I just arrived." ”

When Fang Guifei smiled, there was always a lingering affection between her eyebrows and eyes, and a girl like Rao is Jinran always blushed when she saw it.

Fang Guifei had just taken a nap, and was a little confused at this time, she reached out and took a cup of strong tea handed by Jin Ran, took a slight sip and spoke: "Ran'er, I came to you this time to ask if there is any young lady in your family who wants to marry?" I can give a few points here. ”

Jin Ran shook his head: "That's not true, I wanted to ask for a will for Zhang Qi, the cousin of the Zhang family who lives in my house, but ......" Jin Ran told Fang Guifei about the cause and effect of the incident that happened in his house yesterday.

Concubine Fang nodded thoughtfully: "No wonder the emperor made a decree early in the morning to give Princess Ming'an and your brother a marriage." So that's what happened. I said, why did Princess Ming'an's mother rush to meet the emperor in the morning. ”

Concubine Fang continued: "Whether your brother and Princess Ming'an are married, the two of them are childhood sweethearts, and their relationship is really good, and your brother is very prosperous now, and the emperor is also very satisfied, otherwise he would not have relented so quickly." ”

Concubine Fang nodded Jinran's forehead affectionately as she spoke: "If I guess correctly, you gave this idea to Princess Ming'an, right?" Let her enter the palace first to ask for the holy decree of marriage, and when the time comes, if there is any message coming out, Princess Ming'an and your brother have talked about marriage, and the idea and rumors will disappear by themselves. ”

Jin Ran blinked innocently and didn't answer, but everything was silent.

"But ......." Fang Guifei suddenly spoke: "Your eldest aunt's calculation can be regarded as empty." ”

"Why is that?" Jin Ran asked suspiciously.

"It's Concubine Xian who spoke." Fang Guifei patiently explained: "Concubine Xian has such a daughter as Princess Ming'an, you just said that Zhang Qi knows that your brother and Princess Ming'an are in love with each other, but she still insists on calculating him, do you think this Concubine Xian can not make a move?" Concubine Xian has already told me that this Zhang Qi is bound to not get anything good in the draft. As for entering the palace, it is even more impossible. ”

Jin Ran sighed: "This is also her own doing, and she can't complain about others." ”

Jin Ran thought of his mother's words, and was sure that the Zhang family must have thought of such a layer before forcing the old lady of the Zhang family to punish Zhang Qi, after all, a bigger punishment was still waiting for them here.

Fang Guifei looked at Jin Ran, whose face was white and red: "Ran'er, I see that you are also very idle now, there is nothing to do, and you don't need to keep an eye on your shops now, why don't you come to the palace to stay with me for a few days?" I'll take you to the draft where to play together? The queen took He Luoyi and her younger sister over there, and even the queen mother brought her mother's juniors, just me, there is a rough brother in the family, and there is no junior who can do it, there is only one you. ”

Fang Guifei actually wanted to take Jin Ran to the draft field to show off her juniors with the Queen Mother.

Jin Ran was made to laugh and cry by Concubine Fang's words, so she agreed. She also wanted to go to see the draft, Jin Ran eloped with Luo Xian early in her last life, and she never participated in the draft or anything.
