Chapter 8 Invitations
An Lingyu heard the name and frowned slightly, in the end, it was the daughter of a small family, how could anyone come to the door early in the morning. took a bite of the soft glutinous red bean cake, and said to Xiao Tao without being salty or light: "Look at the arrangement." ”
Xiao Tao nodded and went down to make arrangements. When she saw Su Yu, she found that this girl had delicate facial features and a slender figure, and she didn't feel like the daughter of a poor family like them.
But looking at her hands full of calluses, she felt that it was not simple, so she made her a second-class maid who served tea and water.
After eating a bowl of small wontons, An Lingyu remembered that a maid said about the invitation yesterday. "Which lady sent me the invitation? Look at the time, if it is a few days, I will go to the tailor shop today to choose materials to make cheongsam. ”
Autumn has arrived, and now it is a little cold to wear short-sleeved cheongsam, and the material is too thin, so you have to make something thicker. The winter one is too thick to wear now.
It's just that this invitation, I'm afraid that the person who comes is not good. When she first arrived, there were too many people who wanted to set up a horse for her, especially her identity, which made many genuine wives very unhappy.
However, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it, from the moment she became the top brand of Paramount, she has been a thorn in the side of many people, and she has been a thorn in the flesh.
"Miss Hui, there is an invitation from Mrs. Chen today, but it's four o'clock in the afternoon, it's still early, if you want to make a cheongsam, it must be in time."
When An Lingyu ordered to go down, Xiao Tao had already returned, and hurriedly replied to her when she saw this, she received yesterday's invitation, and she remembered the time very clearly.
A few days ago, Yongwen sent a set of pink tourmaline bracelets that were very beautiful, each of them was delicately carved, the tourmaline was transparent and bright, and the skin was even whiter, and An Lingyu put it on without thinking about it.
"Then let's go to the tailor shop first, I remember that Yongwen sent a good Shu brocade that day, you bring it with you, the tailor shop is afraid that there are no such good materials."
Black gold silk hooked peony cheongsam, black diamond-studded leather shoes of the same color, with white rabbit fur, such a bewitching and gorgeous lady. There's no way, her charming face doesn't look like a dignified and virtuous wife in the show.
Seeing that there was nothing wrong with herself in the mirror, An Lingyu took Xiao Tao and prepared to set off. Xiao Tao tilted her head and thought for a while, "Miss can let someone from the tailor shop come to the house to do it!" I think many wives are like this. ”
An Lingyu pursed her lips and smiled, she was in order to have a reason to contact those refugees, how did she contact them at home? "You've said that those are the style of a genuine wife, let's go to the tailor shop in a proper manner! Besides, it's fine, just go out and take a walk. ”
Drawing a map of Haicheng earlier, she could be considered to have completed a task. What's more, this sea city is so big, she has to turn it for several days to be able to turn it all.
Walking out of the door and seeing Su Yu who was listening to the steward's lecture, An Lingyu raised her eyebrows and motioned for Xiao Tao to go up and ask what was wrong. This Su Yu was brought by her, could it be that this steward is already dissatisfied with her?
After a moment or so, Xiao Tao came back with Su Yu and bowed down and said, "Miss Hui's words, it was this Ayu who broke the teacup, and the steward said a few words to her when he saw it." ”
Su Yu's face was flushed with shame, she hadn't done these things at home, and she was inevitably a little busy for the first time. An Lingyu pulled the broken hair from her ears behind her ears and said casually.
"That's it, you don't seem to be able to do this kind of work, come with me."
When the three of them left the garden, they saw many refugees crawling on the road. An Lingyu frowned, and got into the car without saying anything.
It is a bit far from the city center and belongs to the suburbs. There should be a small number of refugees gathered here, but there are so many, I am afraid that the flood of the Yangtze River is very serious.
Seeing that there were still very young children among those refugees, Su Yu couldn't help but turn her head to wipe her tears. An Lingyu thought for a while and said to Su Yu: "I have something I need you to do." ”
"The flood is well known, and it is estimated that there will be people giving porridge noodles soon. You go and ask, if the people of the settled family come out to give, find a way to write down what they give, usually for three days, and it is estimated that the flood is more serious like this, and you keep an eye on it. ”
Su Yu nodded solemnly, indicating that she knew. An Lingyu didn't avoid the driver and Xiao Tao, she knew that this was Cheng Lifeng's person, anyway, she wanted to take revenge on the An family, Cheng Lifeng knew.
Playing with the tourmaline bracelet, An Lingyu lowered her eyes and pondered. Normally, this kind of fame and reputation thing An Jia likes to do the most, and this time she wants to give them a heavy blow.
Soon arrived at the center of the city, the tailor shop was a little crowded today, and An Lingyu was not in a hurry, "You are busy with yours first, mine is not in a hurry, this is not autumn, I want to make a few cheongsams for the occasion." ”
The boss saw An Lingyu get off the car, the rabbit fur on her body was worth a lot of money, the ruby pendant on her fair-skinned neck, and the pink tourmaline bracelet on her hand were all things that money couldn't buy.
"Oh, it's all small, the little one must arrange an embroidery girl for you as soon as possible, but I don't know what style of cheongsam the lady wants?"
An Lingyu waved her hand, and Xiao Tao and Su Yu came in with three Shu brocades. The boss's eyes lit up, this material is worth a thousand taels of gold, and now I am afraid that I can't buy it with money, it was a tribute in the past few years, and now I am afraid that there are not many people who can have so many people.
"You ask the embroiderer to come, I'll tell her. The ginger one I want to make a ginger yellow cloud crepe cheongsam, and the remaining two horses depend on what the embroidery lady says. ”
When the boss heard this, he hurriedly went to find the embroiderer. "Su Yu, you go to the café opposite to pack a mousse cake, let's go home and eat it."
Taking a sip of tea, An Lingyu closed her eyes and pondered the path she had just walked, and perfected the map in her mind. Su Yu was a little embarrassed, she had no money. Seeing this, Xiao Tao opened the money bag and gave her two oceans, Su Yu nodded gratefully and trotted away.
It didn't take long for the embroidery girl to come, An Lingyu talked about the style of the cheongsam, and the embroidery girl nodded when she heard it. The boss rubbed his hands beside him, although he didn't understand, but seeing An Lingyu's appearance of being a Taoist, he only felt that this thigh must be held tightly.
Seeing that An Lingyu had finished speaking, Xiuniang coughed lightly and said, "I take the liberty of asking, I wonder if Miss is interested in doing a business with us?" I see that the cheongsam style that Miss just mentioned is different from usual, I wonder if I can buy your look? ”
It turns out that this embroidery lady is the proprietress of the proprietor.
An Lingyu raised her eyebrows, put down the teacup in her hand, and said a little arrogantly: "Why do you want to sell my appearance?" Only I wear it and let the young marshal appreciate it, it's the best. ”
The embroidery girl smiled in a low voice, "Presumably you are the famous red tear girl in Haicheng, right?" It's just a woman, of course, it's best to have your own career. But if you really don't want to sell, we don't force it, and buying and selling will not be benevolent. ”
After speaking, the embroidery girl turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait."
