Chapter 118: Winter Clothes (3)
After Shen Yuechen groomed properly, he whispered a few words to the golden lock and silver lock, and then went back to his west courtyard, and it happened that Zhu Jintang had just come back and was sitting in the house eating tea.
"Uncle, why did you come back so early today?"
Zhu Jintang just sat down to eat tea, and saw that she was back, and the bun on her head was slightly different from when she got up in the morning, so he asked, "Where have you been?" ”
Shen Yuechen smiled slightly: "Boss Guan of Auspicious Silk Village sent someone to send a few horses of materials over to order winter clothes, and the old lady asked me to go over and have a look." After reading the material, the concubine personally served the old lady to go back to take a nap, and the old lady left the concubine to rest together. ”
As soon as Zhu Jintang heard the three words of Master Guan, his eyebrows furrowed and said, "Oh, it turns out that the old gluttonous cat has come to the door to beg for money again." ”
Shen Yuechen saw that he seemed to be displeased, and said a little puzzled: "Old gluttonous cat? This nickname is funny. ”
Zhu Jintang said lightly: "Since you have seen him, you should also see his poor mouth." His craftsmanship is indeed good, but it is not as good as his eloquence. ”
When Shen Yuechen heard this, she lowered her head, "Boss Guan is eloquent and can speak well, it's hard to believe that he is a handful of old people, and it is really not easy to coax the old lady to smile." ”
Zhu Jintang shook his head with a smile: "He wasn't like this before. He was originally just an honest craftsman, and he couldn't even say a word about entertainment when people were in trouble, and his mouth was very stupid. Later, because of the promotion of our Zhu family, we made a wide range of customers in the city, and the business became better and better, and I began to gradually gain some fame. Many ladies and ladies of large families have posted to ask him to come to make clothes, and he often goes in and out of those big houses, and he has not learned anything else, but he has learned a lot of flattery skills. ”
When Shen Yuechen heard this, he knew that Zhu Jintang had a bad impression of this person, so he said with a smile: "It's hard to buy a smile for a thousand dollars, and it's rare for the old lady to be happy." What's more, Master Guan's craftsmanship is not bad. "As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind. How hard can it be to turn a stupid person into a flamboyant tongue?
Zhu Jintang glanced at her and said, "It's rare to hear you say such things, it's not easy." ”
When Shen Yuechen heard this, he was slightly stunned, only to feel as if he had something to say.
Zhu Jintang took a sip of tea, raised his finger and pointed to the burden on the table, and said, "This is the gift that my eldest aunt asked me to bring back when I went to the capital, can you open it and take a look?" ”
Shen Yuechen was a little surprised, and hurriedly got up to respond, only to feel that the burden felt soft to the touch, and when he opened it, he found that it was actually a silver rat fur coat wrapped in it, the coat color was bright, snow-white and flawless, soft and fine to the touch, smooth and soft.
Shen Yuechen snorted lightly, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.
Seeing her stunned appearance, Zhu Jintang immediately stood up, raised his hand and directly draped his coat over her body, wrapping her whole body, revealing only a face the size of a palm.
"Here, let me see."
Shen Yuechen's expression was twisted, his face was flushed, and he couldn't help but raise his head and sneer at him: "Uncle, why are you wrapping me like a dumpling." ”
Her small face was already elegant and pure, this cheeks were crimson, and wearing such a white as snow clothes set off the blush of her cheeks more and more obviously, looking like delicate flower bones, which was fascinating.
When Zhu Jintang heard this, he hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, and simply reached out to wrap her tighter, and brought it to him by the way.
"Uncle!" Shen Yuechen glared at him with some embarrassment, sweating his sideburns for a while, and said in a somewhat coquettish tone: "It's too hot, it's all hot and sweaty." ”
Looking at her flushed face, Zhu Jintang smiled slightly and slowly put his hand down.
Shen Yuechen took off her coat, took a deep breath, and hurriedly folded it carefully and put it away, for fear of accidentally getting dirty.
Zhu Jintang looked at her side face and asked, "Do you like it?" ”
"I like it." Shen Yuechen nodded heavily, walked up to Zhu Jintang, bit her lip and said, "My aunt works weekdays, and she has to bother preparing gifts for me...... She paused a little and said: "The concubine is really grateful, and when I have the opportunity to turn around, I must personally thank her and say goodbye." ”
Zhu Jintang bowed slightly, "Okay, next time I have a chance, I will take you to the capital together." ”
Shen Yuechen was a little surprised, he didn't expect Zhu Jintang to say this, and asked confirmatively, "Really?" ”
Seeing her half-believing expression, Zhu Jintang frowned slightly and said, "Of course, the master has always been a talker. ”
He has to go to the capital at least three or four times a year, taking a free opportunity to take her with him, and he can be regarded as leading her out to see the world.
Shen Yuechen was overjoyed when she heard this, and smiled a little embarrassedly.
The sky was getting darker and darker.
After dinner, Zhu Jintang went to the upper room to play chess with the old man. Shen Yuechen didn't go with her, but still sat in the room, taking Mother Wu and Cuixin to choose the fabrics to be sent to the aunts in each room.
Because it is customary to make winter clothes, there are corresponding portions in each room, and the patterns and colors of the materials are slightly different, but the prices are the same.
After Shen Yuechen saw it, she asked Cuixin to send the two horses with the most color and the best appearance to the Sun family. She is pregnant now, since she has to pick a good one. And the Cao family also got two new pieces of cloth, and the colors and patterns were very good. As for the Qin family, like the Wang family and the Liu family, they each got a new cloth, and they didn't have to pick or choose.
Shen Yuechen did this, naturally, on purpose, and wanted to deliberately respond to her and make her heart block.
Sure enough, as she expected. As soon as Qin Taoxi saw the new cloth, he immediately asked Orchid to get scissors, and then cut the cloth sent by Shen Yuechen into one by one. Just moving the scissors was not enough to dissipate the gas, and in the end she tore it up directly with her hands, and along the gap, the whole cloth was torn into pieces.
Qin Taoxi almost regarded this piece of cloth as Shen Yuechen, and hated to cut her off and tear her apart in order to relieve the hatred in his heart.
Orchid was beside her, looking at her vicious and gloomy appearance, her mind kept flashing the cruel scene when she killed the cat before, she scared herself enough, and after a while, she broke out in a cold sweat, and stammered to Qin Taoxi: "Miss, cut this cloth...... What if the young grandmother asks? ”
Qin Taoxi was so tired that he was sweating, so he only threw the unfinished cloth on the ground and said, "I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?" Talking stumbling all day long, it's annoying to listen to, don't give me an honest stay, if you say one more word, I'll tear your mouth immediately! ”
When Orchid heard this, her body trembled, and she immediately closed her mouth, not daring to speak.
Qin Taoxi took a few deep breaths, sat on the edge of the table with his forehead on his back, thinking to himself that he had been bullied to the top of his head now, and if he did something, he would have to be trampled to death by them.
This will, she has nothing in her hands, and it is really not easy to get rid of Sun's child, not to mention, she has to blame Shen Yuechen for it, and among them, planning and layout are indispensable.
Qin Taoxi rubbed the corners of his forehead, and muttered to himself: "I have to think about it, there will definitely be a way...... You can kill two birds with one stone. ”
In late autumn, the weather is getting colder and colder, and in addition, there are several autumn rains in succession, which makes it more and more chilly. At this time, there is no longer the gorgeous scene of midsummer in the courtyard, and there is only the verdant color of the courtyard.
On this day, Shen Yuechen took the two account books in his courtyard and brought them to the old lady.
The old lady had said before that she would be put in charge of the house for a month.
Originally, it was long overdue, but because Zhu Jintang went out, Ruan Linluo came over to save his relatives again, and then delayed for a few days.
Shen Yuechen had been waiting for the old lady to speak first, who knew that her old man was too happy because of the arrival of her granddaughter, and she seemed to have forgotten about the month-long event.
However, the old lady forgot, Shen Yuechen didn't dare to forget.
There are two accounts in the west courtyard, one is the kitchen account, and the other is the account of daily trivial and miscellaneous items. The accounts of the kitchen are usually in charge of Wu's mother, and the three meals a day, tea snacks, and supper fruits are all recorded, and then the purchase expenses are compared with the market price one by one. As for the daily accounts, Shen Yuechen personally takes care of them, but everything in the yard is just a bowl and a plate, or a flower and a tree, more or less, all of them must be recorded in this account book one by one.
Shen Yuechen checked it over and over again in advance, and only after confirming that there was no problem did she dare to show it to the old lady.
The old lady looked through it roughly, and then handed it to Mother Yang next to her, Mother Yang took the account book, and couldn't help but move her eyebrows, not to mention, this account is not clear, I don't understand, just the neat handwriting on the page of the book, it already makes people feel very comfortable.
Shen Yuechen not only writes beautifully, but also calculates the accounts clearly, almost to the point where they are not different.
Mother Yang flipped through the account book while silently calculating in her heart, and when she turned to the last page, she saw that the remaining amount at the settlement was eighty-three taels and seven cents and six cents, and nodded slightly: "Old lady, grandma's account is really clear." After speaking, she held the account book back to the old lady, "It has only been less than two months, and the eldest grandmother has saved nearly a hundred taels of silver." ”
The old lady glanced at it and said lightly: "Although it is good to save money, it can't be too harsh." Child, what are you going to do with such savings and savings? ”
Shen Yuechen smiled slightly: "Back to the old lady, autumn and winter are good times to replenish your body." The daughter-in-law wants to use all the money saved in the first two months to supplement the amount of this month, and buy more supplements such as red ginseng and astragalus, supplemented by nourishing qi and blood. ”
