Chapter Eighty-Four: Liu Zhen and Rui Xi

"Your mink fur is too bad, isn't it?" Xiaozhu touched the not very shiny fur in front of him, and said dissatisfied: "There are so many good skins in the warehouse, why did you choose this one?" ”

The newly accepted apprentice is still the first time to make winter clothes, and he can't tell the pros and cons of the leather, and when he heard Xiaozhu say this, he immediately blushed and said, "Ask the master for advice." ”

"The fur you picked is thick and long, and it looks warm, but it's not dense at all. If the guest is not afraid of the cold, but likes the abundance of the loops on the neckline and cuffs, he can use this, but the ladies who like big terries usually prefer fox fur. After all, this piece of fur you picked is difficult to enter the eyes of dignitaries and nobles. “

Xiaozhu is not a person who can hide his selfish temperament, seeing that the primary school apprentice is studious, he simply taught her slowly, and the embroidery girls who were not too busy with the work on the side also came up and listened to Xiaozhu intently.

Therefore, if you use mink fur, if you want to choose, you must choose the one that is full of plush and smooth as a mirror. If the requirements of the guests are high, such as our distinguished guest Miss Song Jiasan, she has always been careful with things, and her skin is delicate, and she can't stand the rough wool. We can use the mink fur of the female mink. The mink fur of the female mink will be smoother, softer, and even shinier better. “

"Why is that?" A milky girl's voice sounded, Xiaozhu smiled slightly, and said to the daughter who was tugging on her trouser legs: "Every time the female mink is about to give birth to cubs, in order to make her body better, she will desperately feed herself shiny." ”

As soon as he said this, he made the little man's eyes red.

"Ah, what's going on?" Xiaozhu hurriedly put down the leather in his hand, picked up his daughter, and coaxed softly.

Tuan'er sobbed and said, "It, it finally eats itself well and wants to have a baby, but it is used by us to make winter clothes." ”

"It's cold in winter, so we can only borrow its fur to keep out the cold." Xiaozhu used a handkerchief to suck away the tears on Tuan'er's cheeks, and the tears hung on his face for a long time, and his face should be white.

"But Tuan'er's clothes are all made of cotton, and they are warm and tight, and they don't need their fur." Tuan'er is not very old, but what he can say makes Xiaozhu speechless.

"Good! Little children have such knowledge! A gentle male voice sounded, attracting everyone present to follow the prestige.

I saw Rui Xi and Liu Zhen standing at the entrance door, their clothes were pink and blue, as if they had been discussed.

"Sister Liu, who is this?" Liu Zhen didn't even have much contact with his younger brother, let alone other men, and when he saw this man who seemed to be familiar with Liu Zhen, Xiaozhu couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.

The shopkeepers, embroiderers, and maids in this silk rhyme hall are all women. Except for some houses on weekdays, they will let the little maid come to pick up the clothes, and basically no men get involved.

Don't talk about others, even Tuan'er blinked and looked at Rui Xi with a pair of big eyes.

"Here, this Rui Gongzi is my neighbor, and when he helped me carry the embroidery frame, he accidentally broke the hem of his clothes. So I brought him to us to measure him so that he could make clothes. ”

With so many pairs of eyes looking at it at once, Liu Zhen was inexplicably a little flustered.

I thought that there were fewer people in the Siyun Hall than in the workshop, so I brought Rui Xi here, but I didn't expect that there were too many people ordering winter clothes in the Siyun Hall today, and the manpower seemed to be a little insufficient.

Si Yuntang originally didn't make men's clothes, but when Liu Zhen opened his mouth, there was naturally no reason not to agree.

"Young Master Rui, come with me." Liu Zhen made a greeting gesture and led Rui Xi to the back room.

"You're a big place. Miss Liu is really capable. Rui Xi looked at the statement in the room and admired.

Liu Zhen flipped out the booklet that registered the size of the guests, put it on the countertop, and pulled out a soft rope ruler.

"Young Master Rui, don't make fun of me, I'm just making a small place, so that the sisters can do some small business with their skills, support their families, and not end up on the streets." Liu Zhen stood in front of Rui Xi with a rope ruler, and as soon as he raised his head, he saw his smiling eyes, and couldn't help but burn his face.

"Miss Liu is really modest, how can you say that this is a small deal? I heard that the Zhenxi General's Mansion also participated in one? Rui Xi made a casual tone and asked nonchalantly.

Liu Zhen avoided Rui Xi's gaze and whispered, "How did Childe know?" It's not the Zhenxi General's Mansion, it's just that the third lady in their mansion participates in it herself. ”

"I can't forget who told me that Xu is Miss Song's cousin. I'm a colleague of him. Rui Xi lowered her eyes and looked at Liu Zhen loosely wrapping a rope ruler around her waist, and said, "I don't know how Miss Liu came up with the idea of working with Miss Song?" ”

Liu Zhen was secretly remembering his size, and he didn't doubt him, so he said: "Miss Song is talented and has a lot of ideas, I have made several times of clothes for her, and we have signed a contract with each other, and my garment workshop is the Zhuangzi under her name." and my steward Xiaozhu, who was the maid she used to serve. ”

"Oh? Then you still have a bit of a relationship with her. Rui Xi said casually.

"Miss Song doesn't have the frame of everyone else, so she gets along very well. But in the end, she is the daughter of a powerful person, I am a flat-headed commoner, and there is an intersection with her, which is also limited. Liu Zhen was neither humble nor arrogant when she said this, but Song Zhi's beautiful face flashed in her mind, and there was a little astringency in her heart.

"How can Miss Liu be so humble, even ordinary people can't do anything like you, not to mention that you are still a lonely girl." Rui Xiyang pointed to the door, "Aren't all the embroidery girls outside relying on you?" ”

Liu Zhen smiled slightly, his face was blushing, and he only felt that Rui Xi was really gentle and considerate.

At this time, outside the door, Xiaozhu taught the junior apprentice to recognize the leather, and saw that the maid in charge of ironing had sent a piece of clothing over, so he said: "You help me take care of the group, Miss Song's silver silk butterfly peony embroidery cloak is ready, I will send it to her." ”

"Master, are you in such a hurry? I'll go for it. "Elementary school apprenticeship.

"The Song family has a white matter, this cloak is plain in color, the third lady must be able to use it, I will send it earlier." Xiaozhu shook his head and said, "And I still have something to arrange for you, the auspicious clothes to be worn on Miss Song's birthday have been delivered, I am going to embroider the ornament of butterfly love flowers, you first match the color of the embroidery thread." ”

"Okay." The junior apprentice picked up Tuan'er and said, "Let's go!" Let's go back to the garment shop!

Xiaozhu went to the Song Mansion with the cloak, when Xiaozhu made this cloak, the size was a little uncertain, and it was made a little bigger, I thought it would be changed again, but Song Zhi said that he liked a wider cloak in the cold weather, so he accepted it.

The next day, Song Zhi wore this cloak to the Lin Mansion, that day Song Ling and Song Zhi returned home, although Song Ling had learned about it from the flying pigeon biography, but after being detailed, they could know the danger of the situation that day, the two were very grateful to Xiao Chen, and they went to Song's house together to thank Xiao Chen.

After listening to the intention of the two, before Xiao Chen could say anything, Lin Qingyan waved his hand and said, "It's all a family, why bother saying this thank you!" ”

Xiao Chen glanced at him a little helplessly, her eyes full of tenderness, which happened to fall into Song Zhi's eyes, she thought, "If it weren't for my aunt's love for my uncle so much, I'm afraid I wouldn't be so concerned about my mother's affairs." ’

Xiao Chen said with a little uneasiness: "I saw that girl was really a disaster, I couldn't wait for you to come back, so I made the decision and sent it to Tong'an Hall, if my brother-in-law came back, would I be dissatisfied?" ”

Song Zhi and Song Ling shook their heads again and again, and before they could say anything, they heard Lin Qingyan say again: "He dare!?" I'm good for my sister! What does he have to say! ”

Xiao Chen patted him helplessly, "Why do you always like to steal other people's words." ”

Lin Qingyan thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Xu just came back from his father, so he was suffocated!" You know, I have nothing but to hear before him! ”

"I can't talk nonsense in front of the children!" Xiao Chen saw that Song Zhi and Song Ling both pursed their lips and smiled slightly, and patted Lin Qingyan again.

Song Zhi saw that the two of them were still in love for many years, but he felt that he and Song Ling seemed to be disturbed. The two of them looked at each other, and Song Ling said: "Uncle, aunt, before going out, I promised my mother that I would go home for dinner, and now it's not too early, so I will say goodbye first." ”

"Yo, then I'm not going to keep you two." Xiao Chen's had already asked the small kitchen to add vegetables, but when Song Ling said this, he had no choice but to give up.

"Family, there is no need to say more, if my cousin is retired one day, we will come to disturb us." Song Ling smiled, but there was a little more shadow of Lin Qingyan, and it was true that his nephew was like an uncle.

In the afternoon, Lin used an extra bowl of blood glutinous rice and red date porridge to accumulate food, so dinner was postponed for half an hour.

Therefore, the brother and sister neither rode a horse nor a sedan chair, and walked slowly towards the Song Mansion, and followed Ping An and Yue far behind.

"Is Li Shuofeng his brother's person or the prince's person?" Song Zhi suddenly asked, making the uncomfortable look on Song Ling's face unable to hide.

"It's my people." Song Ling touched her nose and said honestly.

"When did my brother have his own people?" This doubt has been suppressed in Song Zhi's heart for a few days, so he simply asks them all.

"That's what happened last year. These boys were picked out of his army by my father. Song Ling said half of it and hid half of it, thinking that it was seamless.

"But the emperor has instructed you?" As soon as Song Zhi said this, Song Ling suddenly paused, turned to look at Song Zhi, "What did Jing Yu tell you?" ”

Song Zhi showed a somewhat sly smile, "Can't it be my own guess?" ”

"Can you guess so accurately?" Song Ling pursed her lips and didn't believe it.

"The emperor is suspicious, so his father and the prince have three points of his trust. Daddy is in the west all the year round, and he is missing an eye in Beijing, can't he make up for it? Brother, he is a good candidate. Song Zhi said one more word, and Song Ling's eyes became more incredible, "Why does my brother look at me like this?" ”

"No," Song Ling shook her head a little helplessly, "I just think that you and Jing Yu will definitely be harmonious." ”

"Brother!"
