After Xiao Guifei's birthday, Qing Qian became a little idle.

She had already put away all the things that had been sent, and except for those for the little maids and her mother, all the remaining things were stuffed into the storeroom and stored.

Qingqian thought about when he had time to go out, and whether he could pawn all the things he couldn't use as silver.

After all, silver is still a top priority.

The end of the year is approaching, and the expenses of the Gu Mansion are gradually increasing because of the purchase of New Year's goods in each courtyard, especially Bibo Courtyard, I heard that the old lady also wants to find a place to renovate a Bibo Courtyard.

There weren't many things to buy in the shallow Luomei Pavilion, and she couldn't think of what she needed for a while, some gold and silver jewelry or clothing Zhou had already arranged it for her, so she didn't need to worry about it anymore.

Today's weather is good, she got up early in the morning and took the maid to sweep the flowers in the courtyard of Luomei Pavilion, preparing to dry and store those white plums, which can be used to make pastries or make tea or something in the future.

She looked at the plum blossoms around her, the east and west sides of the Luomei Pavilion were mainly white plums, and the south and north sides were mainly red plums.

"Miss," at noon, Mama Wu came to Luomei Pavilion and said, "At noon, Madame asked you to go to see the Weiyuan, because it was almost the end of the year, and the emperor rewarded a lot of brocades from Jiangnan Yipin, and Madame asked you to pick one." ”

Qingqian listened to this passage and seemed a little familiar, she thought about it and then understood, this is the old-fashioned joke in many of the articles I read before. Thinking that this thing should be more common in ancient times, Qingqian nodded, put the petals collected by those maids in a net basket and put them in the sun, and then carried the skirt and peony to the micro courtyard.

It's just that this time the brocade is different, in addition to the three of them, the wives and concubines of Master Gu in the courtyard can also be shared, so there are a lot of people, and the Zhou family came in advance to let Mama Wu inform her that it was so that she could take that piece of brocade if she liked it earlier.

However, she didn't rush to see the micro-courtyard in such a hurry, even if she came early, it was estimated that someone would arrive before her.

Sure enough, but I did come a little slower, and when I stepped into the courtyard, the main hall was already full of people.

How many concubines are there in this old man Gu, the aunt standing inside has already made her a little uncountable, not to mention the concubines outside, Qing Qian muttered in her heart If you count the girls in the room, this is really not enough to stand in the micro courtyard.

The old lady sat on the top, and her mother Zhou also came over and leaned on the old lady's side, and the two had a rare good conversation, and when they saw Qing Qian coming, Zhou turned around and looked at her dissatisfied, blaming her for coming too late.

Looking at the concubines standing outside with little stars in their eyes, they shivered, and looked like they were all here to rob.

Gu Qinglian was already standing in front of her, although she was looking at the old lady, her eyes couldn't help but glance at the brocade over there, if it was about quality, the Nishang Dance Pavilion was the largest pavilion in the capital, and although the Yipin Yizhai in the south of the Yangtze River was famous, it could not be compared, but what was so attractive about this Yizhai was the style and embroidery of the brocade, which were quite rare and exquisite.

She wasn't too late to come, and when she entered the main hall, she saw Gu Qingyuan come in with Qiu Feng.

The old lady looked at the people below: "People should have arrived almost, the brocade rewarded by the emperor this time is the best material of Yipin, and the difference itself is not very big, just let you pick your favorite style." ”

That's right, but looking at Mama Wu's hurried over, I know that there are still good and bad materials here.

She should not lack fabrics, and at the end of the year, Gu Mansion will also distribute materials to various yards to make clothes, and she feels a little headache when she thinks that she still has a big closet with bells and whistles.

The old lady didn't particularly want to get involved in this matter, she just came to stabilize the order, according to the usual order, the three girls chose the materials first, and then it was the turn of the aunts and concubines behind.

Qing Qian had no intention of choosing, she thought that she could clean the yard by taking the brocade back early, so she would just leave with a simple piece.

It's just that her hand was just about to touch the material on the table, only to hear Zhou Shi cough and shake his head slightly.

Tell her not to take this piece of material, right? Qing Qian was a little puzzled, but saw his mother's eyes staring at a piece of material next to him.

And his gaze overlapped with the direction Gu Qinglian was looking at.

The piece next to her was just an ordinary snowflake brocade, and if she really wanted to take it, it was also the thrush brocade mixed with gold thread at the front.

After thinking about it, Qing Qian's hand took the piece of brocade next to him.

"Sister," I only heard Gu Qinglian call softly, "Although my sister knows that this is not good, I still hope that my sister can understand." ”

Qing Qian pretended to be surprised, withdrew his hand and said, "What's wrong?" My sister said it was okay. ”

Gu Qinglian twisted the handkerchief and said: "My sister has not lived as well as my sister since she was a child, and the fabrics that are distributed to the yard every year are also some inferior materials, and I often have to look at the faces of the slaves and maids in the house to live, and many clothes are made of fabrics that my father gave to my mother." Now my sister has taken a fancy to a piece of fabric and wants to make a dress for her mother, so I ask my sister to agree. ”

This was quite infectious, Qing Qian was about to burst into tears, and the aunt and concubine behind her also whispered that the second lady was sensible, but it was just a piece of cloth, although her mother was staring at her, Qing Qian still wanted to nod her head in agreement, but she only heard Gu Qinglian continue: "Many things were wrong with my sister before, presumably my sister is still unhappy because she went to the concubine Niangniang last time to let her sister sit on the lower side, or is it that the maid of Luomei Pavilion and I have a problem with the matter next to Huanxi Pond before?" But my sister was just an unintentional move.,If my sister has to blame my sister.,My sister accepts it.。 ”

"......" She took a deep breath, why did Gu Qinglian mention the previous things every time she spoke, and forcibly explain her innocence by the way, it was nothing, but why did it make her feel as if she had been bullying Gu Qinglian every time.

Who did he recruit to provoke such a second sister, and the spearhead was very clearly pointed at her, once or twice, there was nothing, but if it continued like this, it would be treated as a soft persimmon at will.

Those concubines outside said that they were moved to tears in their bottoms, but in fact they were all ready to see her jokes.

Gu Qingyuan's words are right, if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, but someone dares to climb on her head, and Qingqian promised to drag her to the ground and beat her hard.

Qing Qian took the handkerchief and pretended to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "Second sister is so hearted, how can I brush your mind?" It's just that the rules are set by the old lady, and the second sister should ask her grandmother's opinion first. ”

Gu Qinglian sneered in her heart, this eldest sister is still as stupid as before, this rule was originally set by the old lady, she said this The old lady will definitely agree, originally she thought that Gu Qingqian would refuse, but she didn't expect that she would be stupid to let the old lady decide, undoubtedly pushed her.

Qing Qian took a step back, yes, why wouldn't the old lady agree, the old lady nodded and agreed!

The old lady closed her eyes, a little surprised in her heart, but still nodded.

Zhou stood beside the old lady, not knowing what was going on in his heart.

When did the heart become so good, the Wang family put her back quite uncomfortable in the past few days, and she was relieved to see that the Wang family picked up some trivial things in the house, but it didn't take long for the Wang family to gradually start swallowing the kitchen purchase account, but fortunately, she found it and took it back in time, otherwise this matter would not be so easy to solve.

Jokes, swallow in the mouth and spit out the reason?

Seeing that Zhou was about to speak, Qing Qiancai continued: "Since the old lady has agreed, sister, I have nothing to say, my sister's filial piety really touched me a little, but according to the seniority, the old lady is the oldest, if my sister wants to honor Aunt Wang first, then I should not refuse to pick a piece of brocade to make a dress for the old lady, right?" ”

When these words came out, the old lady's closed eyes slowly opened, and she didn't refuse to hold the tea bowl and said: "It's rare that a shallow girl has filial piety and wants to make a dress for me, but your mother is standing next to her, aren't you afraid that she will be unhappy?" ”

To be honest, Zhou was really a little unhappy, Qing Qian's eyebrows drooped and said: "My mother treats me very well, Qing Qian naturally wants to make a dress for my mother, but the brocade here doesn't seem to be suitable, a few days ago Qing Qian got a piece of rain brocade from the third sister, which can just make a dress for her mother." ”

Gu Qinglian's face changed slightly, she didn't expect that she would be defeated by Gu Qingqian's general Le Yijun in turn? Now she only hopes that Gu Qingqian will not fight the idea of that piece of brocade, and it doesn't matter which piece she takes.

The old lady glanced at Gu Qinglian and said, "Qingqian and Qinglian are filial piety, in this case, each of them will take two pieces of this brocade." ”

"Old Madam Xie." The two answered.

Qingqian unceremoniously took the white brocade and said thank you with the previous thrush brocade, and left the courtyard quickly.

Gu Qinglian looked at her with a somewhat gloomy face, and instantly changed as a person, Qingqian didn't care at all, pulled the peony and left, this maid watched Gu Qinglian happily bouncing in the Gu Mansion for so long, and this time it was particularly interesting to eat deflated under the master.

She has nothing to do with her, but if she doesn't bounce to herself, it's okay, after all, she is not a dancer, anyone can come and dance twice.
