Chapter 227: Chicken Feathers
Jia Liang didn't know how he left the Cloud Embroidery Workshop, and the fourth lady, Huo Yuan, made new clothes, just as Ah Si promised, gave a discount, and gave a handkerchief and a purse.
Huo Yuan returned to Dongfu, took those handkerchiefs and purses and looked at them the same, only to feel that the more he looked at them, the more he liked them, don't look at them are all small things, but the materials are exquisite, the embroidery is exquisite, and even the patterns are not common.
The newly cut clothes couldn't be made for a while, but these handkerchiefs and purses were right in front of him, and Huo Yuan couldn't put them down.
She remembered very well that once in Xifu, Huo Zhi said that Huo Sijin's veil belonged to the Cloud Embroidery Workshop, Huo Sijin did not deny it, but she did not admit it.
She had seen the handkerchief, and she only thought that the embroidered thrush was lifelike, but she didn't associate it with the cloud embroidery workshop, in her opinion, there must be a mark on the handkerchief of the cloud embroidery workshop, but there was no one on Huo Sijin's handkerchief.
Therefore, she also thought that Huo Zhi was talking nonsense, and Huo Sijin deliberately pretended.
Now holding these handkerchiefs and purses, Huo Yuan checked them repeatedly, and sure enough, there were no marks, not a single one.
When she was in the Cloud Embroidery Workshop, she asked the mother-in-law who served her to measure her clothes, and the mother-in-law said that the handkerchiefs and purses of the Cloud Embroidery Workshop were not for sale, and they were always only given to the big customers in the shop, and most of these big customers spent a few hundred taels of silver.
Huo Sijin has lived in the nunnery since he was a child, that is, he only knew about the Cloud Embroidery Workshop when he arrived in the capital, it was not that Huo Yuan was clumsy, but before that, Huo Sijin really did not have the clothes of the Cloud Embroidery Workshop.
If you haven't sewed clothes, where did you get the veil?
Unless......
Huo Yuan's eyes lit up, unless it was a token of love given to her by a man privately!
Huo Yuan will be nineteen years old after the New Year, she knows more than the ladies in the capital who have not been out of the cabinet, even if she has not seen this kind of thing, she has heard of it.
At this time, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Huo Sijin must have done something shameless.
Ever since he learned that Huo Sijin was dressed up in a fancy way and wanted to attract the attention of Prince Qing, Huo Sijin was already a fox in Huo Yuan's eyes.
Now thinking of that veil again, Huo Yuan hates to tear Huo Sijin apart, it's so embarrassing, he has lost his eldest brother's face!
Huo Yuan really wanted people to steal the handkerchief out and show it to Huo Jiang, to the people in Xifu, and to the ladies in the capital, so that everyone could come and see what a shameless thing this Miss Huo who pretended to be a female bodhisattva.
But the last time about the Baishou Diagram, Mama Yan changed all the people in Huo Sijin's house, and the original people sold and put them away, including Xiaohong, who stole the Baishou Diagram, and also found a name to sell.
Now that the water in Huo Sijin's house can't be splashed, Huo Yuan asked his henchmen to find a way, but two or three days have passed, and he still can't put his hand into Huo Sijin's yard.
At this time, it is already the end of the year, and it is the busiest time for every family.
Huo Yuan was upset and irritable, and every year passed, she was a year older, and most of the women like her in the capital were already mothers, and some even gave birth to two or three, but she still had no eyebrows at all in family affairs.
It's not that there is no door-to-door proposal, Huo Jiang's sister's name is still very attractive, although she is not a sister, but she is also a concubine.
But she can't look down on any of these proposers.
What kind of people are these, either they are Jinshi from a poor family, or they are the ones who want to continue the strings after the early death of the Yuan pair, and there is even one who sounds like a well-known family, but he wants to propose marriage to his own family who doesn't even have a reputation for showing talent.
Every time a matchmaker came to the door, Huo Yuan was so angry that she couldn't eat for a few days, she felt that she was really miserable, and she couldn't do anything about how to propose marriage.
There is no one who is decent, and there is no one who can compare to King Qing.
Even if you don't have the identity of King Qing, if you have the bearing and appearance of King Qing, it's okay, but there is still none.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuan simply lay down on the kang and pretended to be sick, and pushed all the things that helped Old Madam Feng to manage the New Year to Huo Sijin.
The eldest lady died early, and the second wife followed the second master Huo Hai to take office, and now there are only three female dependents in the East Mansion, and Mrs. Feng presides over the feed, so the one who gave Mrs. Feng a hand should have been Huo Yuan, who was supposed to learn to take care of the housework, but Huo Yuan left it alone, so he could only let the twelve or thirteen-year-old Huo Sijin do it.
Huo Sijin didn't want to care, but Mama Yan was very happy, she told Huo Sijin: "Miss, don't think about it, before and after the year, all the female dependents who have dealings with Dongfu will know that it is you who is in charge of the New Year's Festival this year, not the fourth lady." Come and go, and your good name will spread. What big family doesn't want to marry a wife who can run the house. ”
Huo Si thought about it carefully, and went to Mrs. Feng every morning, and when Mrs. Feng saw that she was finally willing to come, she handed over all the troubles of receiving poor relatives to her.
Longxi Huo's family is thin, but after all, it is a big family, there are few people in the house, and there are many relatives who are related to the deceased.
Especially after Huo Jiang became a pavilion elder back then, more and more relatives of the Huo family came to settle in Beizhi.
But there are no reading seeds in the men of these families, so the relatives of the Huo family who have settled near the capital are not as good as the generation, and now, they are either guarding a few acres of thin fields, or teaching a few little Mengtong to read in the name of the Huo family.
During the New Year's Festival, when they came to the capital to fight the autumn breeze, they went to the east and then to the west, some brought a few cabbages, and some brought a basket of eggs, but when they left, they were used for food and clothing, and they were loaded into half of the car.
Huo Sijin had heard Huo Yuan complain a lot, but she only returned to the capital in the spring, and she occasionally saw a few relatives, but she didn't think that these people were as hateful as Huo Yuan said.
She asked her to call Jia Liang, who helped her buy embroidery thread last time, but was told that Jia Liang's son was fighting with guests in the shop, and was told to Mrs. Feng by the shopkeeper, Jia Liang had been kneeling at the Hanging Flower Gate for an hour, but Mrs. Feng had not let go, and she had to sell Jia Liang's son to Renyazi.
Huo Sijin frowned, why is Old Madam Feng so lonely?
Jia Liang is in charge of the procurement in the house, and he is the son of the family, even if his son makes a mistake, he must look at the face of the Buddha if he does not look at the face of the monk, so he must give Jia Liang some face.
Mama Yan said to her: "Miss, don't worry about this matter, Jia Liang is from the outer courtyard, and the eldest master will take care of it." ”
Huo Sijin just did it.
One thing she was looking forward to right now was that her brother was coming back from Tarzan Academy.
She wrote a few letters to Taishan Academy, and asked people to send clothes, shoes and socks, but every time Huo Dagongzi replied to the letter, it was a few dry words, which made Huo Sijin feel cold.
But now it's different, she knows in her heart that the reason why she can't take Huo Yuan in her eyes is that all she can rely on is her father and brother.
