Chapter 42: Preparations (I)

 : : : :Mrs. hurriedly stepped forward and said: "I only heard that gold is easy to obtain, but Li Mo is hard to find, but I didn't expect the old lady to have such treasures here!" After that, she took Li Mo from Mrs. Qin's hands, and after playing with it carefully, she asked Zi Yan to roll up her sleeves, and she actually wanted to study the ink herself.

 : : : :Xiaoyu and Qi Pan both stepped forward and said, "Mother, let your daughter serve!" Madame shook her head and said: "This Li Mo's ink research method is different, you can't grind it well, you have to bury this ink, or I'll come!" ”

 : : : :Mrs. Qin asked Yahuan to cover her clothes with a big handkerchief, and gently rolled up her sleeves with her hand, then looked at Mrs. and said with a smile: "Wanying, more than ten years have passed, I'm afraid it's the first time you have studied ink by yourself!" Mrs. Hongxia put on her face and said lightly: "Yes, since I left the academy, I have never studied ink in person, and after I have Pan'er, I even have less pens!" ”

 : : : :When Mrs. Qin studied the ink, Mrs. Qin chose a pen, tried the ink first, and then laid the rice paper.

 : : : :"A branch of LancΓ΄me dew incense", a line of beautiful hairpin flowers jumped on the paper, and every stroke was smart and elegant, such as the beauty hairpin flower, the goddess scattered. Old Madam Qin did not stop writing, and continued to write on the paper in other fonts a few more times.

 : : : :"Come, you two choose for yourselves, see which one you like!" , Old Madam Qin wrote and said kindly to Qi Pan and Xiaoyu. Qi Pan and Xiaoyu looked at it and felt that they had their own benefits, and their eyes were almost glazed.

 : : : :After looking at it for a while, Qi Pan whispered timidly to Xiaoyu: "Second sister, I think this hairpin is more suitable!" Xiao Yu also nodded in agreement, "Big sister, I don't understand calligraphy, but I also prefer this." After speaking, she also reached out and clicked on the line that Old Madam Qin had written at the beginning.

 : : : :Qi Pan saw Xiaoyu's approval, and immediately laughed happily. "Old Madam Qin, then we will choose this character," Qi Pan plucked up the courage to say to Old Madam Qin.

 : : : :Mrs. Qin bowed slightly, and changed to a larger brush, calling people to spread the paper separately, after a little thought, slowly starting and closing, sparse can run horses, impermeable, "love night" two strong and vigorous characters appeared on the paper, through the back of the paper.

 : : : :"Good word!" Xiao Yu couldn't help but admire, these two words were not much better than the inscriptions she saw in the True Love Pavilion in her previous life. Old Madam Qin smiled slightly: "Thanks to Xiaoyu today, I have inspiration, these two words are my most satisfying work in recent years!" ”。

 : : : : A few people talked and laughed and drank a few more teas, and agreed that three days later, Mrs. Qin would send the finished painting to the Hou Mansion.

 : : : : Just back to the Hou Mansion, Xiaoyu hasn't rested yet, the gold brick strode in, and the little face was red and full of excitement: "Second Miss, I made the question of chickens and rabbits in the same cage last time!" ”

 : : : :Xiao Yu was surprised in his heart and said strangely: "Oh, you made it?" Let's talk about how to do it! ”

 : : : : :The gold brick face is colorful, and the excited hand gestures in the air: "A chicken has two legs, a rabbit has four legs, I first ordered the rabbit to stand up, and now the rabbit has only two feet on the ground, at this time there should be thirty-five heads, seventy feet, so that I know that the two feet raised by the rabbit are ninety-four minus seventy, and there are twenty-four feet, then the rabbit should be twelve, and the chicken should be thirty-five minus twelve to get twenty-three." Second Miss, how's it, isn't it twenty-three chickens and twelve rabbits? β€œ

 : : : :After talking about her solution in one breath, Xiaoyu had to admire the wisdom of the ancients, and did not set up unknown numbers to solve the equation, and it was also calculated.

 : : : :Xiaoyu applauded: "BRICS girl, you are amazing, this question is very rare, you actually solved it correctly!" β€œ

 : : : :The gold brick suddenly became interested, pestering the small fish to continue to do the debut question. Xiaoyu was entangled in a way, so he sent Bai Fu to the study to find a copy of "Arithmetic" for the gold bricks, because Bai Fu has a lot of research on arithmetic, Xiao Yu asked Bai Fu to deal with the curious baby of the gold bricks, Xiao Yu did not expect that she had unintentionally inserted willows, and actually achieved a master of arithmetic, which is not a word for the time being.

 : : : : "Second Miss, the golden lady of the Yunshang shop asks to see you." The cotton curtain at the door suddenly opened, and as she spoke, a round-faced and faithful maid walked in.

 : : : : "Bai Rong, you let her wait in the flower hall, I'll go after writing this line!" The girl didn't stop writing, but still slowly copied the notebook, writing and commanding at the same time.

 : : : : This girl is Xiaoyu, and now it has been more than half a month since the women's ceremony, and the new dress launch conference of the cloud dress shop has also begun to prepare in full swing.

 : : : :"Yes, second sister, this early sunny series is especially dreamy, like clouds hanging over my body, I can't wait to see the finished product!" Qi Pan looked at the sketch and said with admiration. When the drawings were sent to the Yunshang shop, it was also very shocking, and the golden lady came and went several times in order to communicate with Xiaoyu about various cutting and embroidery details.

 : : : :When Xiaoyu came to the flower hall, the golden lady hurriedly put down the teacup, stood up and saluted: "Our host asks the second lady on behalf of the second lady!" ”

 : : : :Xiaoyu smiled reservedly: "Jin Niang, we are so familiar, you are more and more polite!" Jin Niangzi said with a smile on her face: "Oh, Second Miss, look at what you said, just look at the appearance of these clothes you designed, that is only the second Miss You have a beautiful character on your side can think of it, and the slaves can't catch up even if they shoot horses!" ”

 : : : :Xiao Yu looked at the flattering look of the Jin Lady, and couldn't help but feel funny, so he said: "Okay, don't say these flattering words, the Jin Lady is here for something?" Jin Niangzi turned around and took out two sets of clothes in the box on the side and said: "The pattern sent by the second miss last time has now made two sets of samples, and I am here to ask the second lady to take a look at it and see what else needs to be modified!" ”

 : : : :Xiaoyu first asked Bai Fu to take the black winter coat on the surface. The collar of this suit is decorated with a thin black mink fur, and the top is a small jacket with a black background woven with a gold passion flower pattern on a stand-up collar placket, and a sixteen-panel skirt underneath.

 : : : :Xiaoyu looked at the clothes, then at Bai Fu, and then nodded and said, "Bai Fu, you go and change into this set of clothes to take a look!" ”

 : : : :Bai Fu was surprised: "Miss, me?!" Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Well, you go and try it, I haven't grown tall yet, you're moderately tall, just put it on and we'll see the effect!" ”。

 : : : :Bai Fu hesitantly held her clothes and retreated behind the screen, and Xiaoyu asked Jin Niangzi to help Bai Fu. The two tossed behind the screen for a while, and Bai Fufang walked out timidly. "Little... Miss", Bai Fu trembled and carried her skirt, so nervous that she was about to leave.
