160, full service
Early in the morning of the second day, Gu Quansheng took the dog to the carriage and went from a mother-in-law mountain.
When Shuning was practicing calligraphy, she saw that Su Xin was a little depressed, so she asked her what was wrong. Su Xin said: "I saw that good-looking little brother yesterday, and I heard that he left early in the morning, so I wanted to take a few more looks." Shuning smiled: "If you want to see it, go back to Fangshan to see enough, but you say that, do you have any ideas?" Holly laughed sullenly.
Su Xin waved his hand and said: "I don't have any ideas, such a person, it's enough to look at him twice, but you can't live with him." Otherwise, if we meet every day, we will be depressed. I'm just unwilling, cheapened the girls in the other courtyard. After speaking, he glared at Holly: "What are you laughing at?!" Am I not right? Holly smiled and nodded violently.
Su Yun's voice came from outside the door: "Dead girl, what nonsense?" This is also something that can be said in front of the girl? She lifted the curtain and came in, glancing at Frangipani. Frangipani shrank her head, picked up a pen wash casually, and slipped out in a hurry.
Su Yun didn't care, and said to Shuning: "The sewing room has made new clothes and sent them over, and my wife asked the girl to see them." ”
When Shuning arrived at the main room, a lot of clothes were laid out on the kang, and he was talking to Xiao Liu: "Your two colors are a little heavy, and the work is not good, eighty percent of the snobbs in the sewing room in the house are deliberately lazy." I look at this royal blue, it is a little similar to your sister's, why don't you take it and wear it to the Rong family, wouldn't it be neat for the two sisters to wear the same? Xiao Liu said: "This is your clothes, how can I take it?" Those two are already good. I don't go out much on weekdays, so it's just right to wear this. ”
Shi said: "If it was before, I wouldn't stop you, but now that your brother-in-law has received such a good errand and the family has found a good house, when you come to the door, you can't still be as casual as now, right?" Take it quickly, and I'll ask someone to send you two boxes of jewelry when I get back. You're idle. So he took the child for a walk. The Rong family has a large population. Relatives who come and go also have some backgrounds. If you let Brother Bao recognize people, there will be benefits in the future. Besides, the people in the house didn't look at it before, and now that you have this good relative, you should put out the master's money to see who dares to underestimate your mother and son. ”
Xiao Liu thought about it, so he accepted it. Then he greeted Shuning with a smile and took away the new clothes of his mother and son.
Shuning walked to her side and saw that the clothes she had made for herself were four autumn cheongsams. The light pink bottom of the bamboo orchid should be the one Wan Ning mentioned yesterday, but it is still elegant. The pink satin embroidered peach blossom patch is too bright, and the pattern is more suitable for spring wear. There is a silver-red gold brocade floor. It would have been extremely gorgeous. Because of the black wide edge, the red is suppressed, so it looks particularly dignified and solemn. All three pieces are gorgeously styled. There are all kinds of bamboo flowers in the teeth, fortunately there is a tender green one, the style is much simpler than others, and only a few butterflies are embroidered on it, which is quite elegant, which makes Shuning breathe a sigh of relief.
Shi said: "I heard that the three red pieces are all the tricks that the second girl thinks, so good, it's just too gorgeous." The second girl doesn't mention anything else, she is really good at dressing up. She picked up the bamboo peach patch and said, "Like this one, there are more than a dozen edges on the sleeves, and only she can think of it." I heard that when she was a child, she had a lot of ideas about these things. We have also been to many places, and the robes worn by the ladies of the nobles elsewhere are all narrow-sleeved and low-necked, and even if there is embroidery, it is not so cumbersome. Only the people of Kyori will widen their sleeves and put a lot of things on the bamboo. ”
Shuning has some realization, these clothes are actually quite like the gorgeous cheongsam costumes in some costume dramas, she originally thought that the clothes in history were really like this, it seems that Wanning, the butterfly, has flapped her wings many times in it.
But can you really wear these clothes? She's a little troubled, except for the green one, it's not suitable for ordinary wear.
Guessing her thoughts, he said, "If it's too gorgeous, put it away as a dress, take it out and wear it when it's festive, and still wear it homemade on weekdays." It's just that this time I'll send such clothes, the big house is deliberately scolding us, let's give face. ”
Shuning responded with a smile, and asked Su Xin to collect the clothes. Shi also said: "Those jewelry for you in the past, pick out a few good ones and prepare them, and wear a few on the big day, they are too plain, they will look out of place with other sisters, and we have no face." Shuning said: "I have already chosen, it is a few pearls, and a pair of jade bracelets, and the rest is forgotten." ”
Shi nodded, beckoned his daughter into the empty room next to him, and asked in a low voice: "When your two sisters came yesterday, did you and the girl give the second girl no face?" ”
Shuning nodded and said, "Actually, I just can't get used to her pretending that nothing has happened, and I can't stop saying it." Actually, we lied to her about the incident last time, but we can't let her know about that kind of thing, so I don't blame her for messing around. I just think that she was still talking sweet words to us before, and she turned her face when she said it, which is unpredictable, who knows what new tricks she will have in two days? It's better to stay away. ”
Shi sighed: "It's good that you can think like this, but you don't have to be too obvious on the surface." Since the big house is good, you pretend to like those clothes and reconcile with the second girl, for the sake of your aunt. Besides, in a few days, the second room and other relatives and friends will come, don't let people see that your sisters are not in harmony and make people laugh. ”
Shuning thought about it, then nodded in response, and then went to the bamboo courtyard and thanked Wanning in front of Fang Ning. Wan Ning happily accepted it, and pulled her to say a lot of things about clothing design, and Shu Ning thought it was listening to a lecture on film and television costumes.
When she returned to her room, Su Xin asked, "Girl, what are you going to do with those clothes?" Do you have to wear it? Shuning thought for a moment and said, "Keep the blue grass and the green one, and put the other two in the box." In addition, I took out the new clothes I made at the end of July and changed them, so that I can wear them in the future. ”
Su Xin paused: "Those few pieces...... Wouldn't it be too vegetarian? ”
"Don't be afraid, just do some decoration. Bamboo flowers, pinching teeth or something, hmm...... The snow green piece pinched pink, the water green one pinched light pink, and the moon white one embroidered a few flowers. ”
Frangipani answered, and went out of the box with Holly. Shuning sat for a moment and sighed.
The three masters and servants began the renovation project of clothes, but they didn't expect it to be night. Shuning was invited to Rongqing Hall with the clan. To a room full of children. Nala has something to say.
She said: "These two days, we gt: it's really not like it. A few of their sisters are idle, so it's better to let each of them go back with a sample errand, let's also divide the labor, the days are more leisurely, and a few small ones can also experience experience. ”
Shi and Shen glanced at each other, but the latter was silent. Shi said: "If the eldest sister-in-law has any ideas, just say it." ”
Nala smiled: "It's nothing, I thought about it carefully Future Receiver 5200, what about me, I'll be in charge of the banquet and the furnishings outside, guest."
Platoon, and then it's the daily chores of the family. The three brothers and sisters have traveled south to the world. Could you please help me look at the kitchen and arrange refreshments and dishes? The four brothers and sisters know books and etiquette, and they are familiar with each other. It is the most suitable for posting posts and welcoming customers. What do you guys think? ”
Shen smiled, touched his sideburns, and did not speak. Shi said: "That's good, there are a lot fewer things, I don't object." Shen saw that Nala looked at him, and said, "Since the third sister-in-law agrees, I naturally don't object." So what do the kids do? ”
Nala smiled: "A few of them are easy to do. Brother Shun's daughter-in-law has a big belly, so she doesn't have to worry about it, Brother Qing's daughter-in-law and the eldest girl take care of the servants in the house, they are young, and they can help each other a little. The second girl, she has been in charge of the needlework room recently, so she simply continued to let her do this, even the clothes of the girls, the maids-in-law, and the curtains outside. The three girls are the youngest, so I'll send them a quiet job, just take care of the inventory of utensils, and don't worry too much, the stewards everywhere have a number of places in their hearts, as long as they watch them take things and return things. ”
Listening to her words, Li's, Fang Ning and Wanning all responded together, Shuning glanced at her and responded, and added: "The eldest aunt handed over this important task to me, I will do it with my heart, and I will not live up to the trust of the eldest aunt." ”
Nala's face stiffened, and he quickly smiled and said a few words, and then said, "It's late tonight, let's start doing things tomorrow at two o'clock." And they all answered.
Shuning followed her mother back to Huaiyuan, and as soon as she entered the house, her face changed: "Hmph, how can this be true, I don't have the idea of fighting the power in the house, but seeing that she can't be busy, I will help more, can I do this?" Even the child is scheming?! ”
Shuning was busy comforting her mother. In fact, she also understands in her heart that this banquet is a good opportunity for foreign exchanges and relations. The easiest things to show your face are to welcome customers, eat and drink, and dress and furnish. On the surface, it seems fair to receive one piece each for the big house, the third room and the fourth room, but in the arrangement of the younger generation, the big house takes up almost all the opportunities, and it highlights Wanning intentionally or unintentionally. Relatively speaking, the management of utensils in Shuning's territory is the most difficult to shine, and because every time there is a big feast, there will always be things like damage to the utensils or stealing entrainment, no matter how well she does, it is just a result that is not lost.
She said: "Why should E-niang be angry? If I really want to ask, they will say that they have arranged a quiet job for me, as if we don't know what to do. I don't care if I show my face or not, I want to hide it anyway. The second sister wants to get ahead, so let her out. ”
Shi sighed: "Good boy, E-Niang persuaded you to reconcile with them during the day, but I didn't expect them to count on you in the blink of an eye." I don't care if the second girl has a good reputation, I'm just afraid that the people in the house will look down on you and make you feel wronged. ”
Shuning smiled: "E-niang doesn't have to worry about this. Although I didn't plan to show my face in front of outsiders, I didn't plan to be bullied obediently. ”
She began to manage things early the next morning, and anyone who came to receive things had to remember the names of people and the number of types of things, and the furnishings and utensils in various houses were also counted one by one, and someone was sent to recount them once a day in the morning and evening to prevent the loss of objects. It turned out that within two days, someone was found stealing.
What was stolen was a small bottle from Ru kiln, which could be sold for about seventy or eighty taels of silver, which was a lot of money. The stewards found a servant who was a habitual offender who had been temporarily left behind because of the recent lack of manpower. After asking questions, the man finally confessed that he had taken it, but the thing had been broken and the fragments had been thrown into the pond. If he wanted to pay the money, he could not afford it.
Seeing his eyes flickering, Shuning guessed that most of the vials were still there, so she said, "Can't you afford it?" Then pay it back in installments. You're six hundred dollars a month, right? Deduction of 500 per month, before deducting 80 taels of silver, except for three meals and lodging, and two clothes for one season, you are not allowed to receive the reward, you are not allowed to go out, when the money is deducted, it is not too late to get out again. ”
The man was dumbfounded. In the past, in this situation, he was either beaten by the board or picked up people, he had the idea of fighting a few taels of soup and medicine, and then sold the bottle when he went out, and he had already made money. To follow the three girls' practices, it takes more than ten years of hard work, and the bottle is only afraid that it will be swallowed by someone a long time ago, not to mention that it has not reaped the benefits, and it will be worked in vain.
He finally obediently summoned the place where the bottle was hidden. While sending someone to find it, Shuning asked people to send this servant to the Li family and Fang Ning, who were in charge of the servants, and it happened to fall into the hands of the Li family, who was looking for an opportunity to establish his authority.
After this incident, the people in the Earl's Mansion no longer dared to underestimate the three girls, and those who stole the entrainment were also reined in, for fear that they would not get the benefits and suffer in vain. Shu Ning managed for a few days, but only broke two bowls, lost a cup, and the loss of utensils was less than one-tenth of the old year.
When Nala heard this, he sighed: "A person with the ability can do it well no matter what he does, and if you have half of her housekeeping ability, I don't have to worry about it." ”
Wan Ning listened with her head down on the side, muttering a few words in a low voice. Nala didn't care either, and said: "Don't worry about others, E-Niang is cheeky to find such a good opportunity for you, you must cherish it, if it doesn't succeed this time, we will die." Wan Ning Yilin: "Yes, E-Niang rest assured." ”
It turned out that the Nala clan had spent a lot of effort to invite more than 20 official daughters, and they or their close relatives were frequent guests in the palace, and they often greeted the Queen Mother. This is all in order to let Wanning regain the reputation of "Jingshi Pearl" and make her a leader in the show again. If it weren't for Concubine Yi's bad tone, the Nala clan would not have used this method of turning a few corners.
Soon, it was the first day. The whole house got up early in the morning to prepare for today's event.
Shuning freshened up neatly, first wore plain clothes and worshiped the ancestors with her family, and after the ceremony, she went back to the room to change into bright clothes. She was wearing a pink cheongsam embroidered with orchid grass and a beige vest on the outside, which looked much more elegant. The hair is combed into a smooth big hair, the ends of the hair are tied with colored silk ropes, the sideburns are pinned with beaded flowers, the ears are hung with pearl earrings, and a pair of jade bracelets are worn on the hands.
When she returned to the front hall, she met Fang Ning halfway and saw that the other party was wearing a red robe and some hairpin rings on her head, which was also gorgeous. The two sisters smiled at each other and walked hand in hand.
Today's Wanning is really gorgeous. A begonia red robe, embroidered with a hundred butterflies wearing flowers, a few gemstone hair ornaments on the head, a pretty face with thin grease powder, Meishan Yuandai, autumn waves. It was the first time for Shuning to see such a beautiful Wanning, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, in fact, she was more suitable for such a bright and bright dress.
During the banquet, Wanning was elegant, courteous and thoughtful, and her words were gentle and playful, which won unanimous praise from the female guests. Shuning and Fang Ning sat together, but they felt a little cold, because next to her was Yuan Ning, who was also dressed up.
