Mrs. flipped through the booklet and looked at it, Qi Pan came to her senses and said: "Mother, Zhou Guangchao's calligraphy and paintings from this dynasty are found to show my sister to see if she likes it or not." Then Qi Pan explained to Xiaoyu: "This Zhou Guangchao is good at flowers and birds, and his brushwork is delicate, and I usually love his fine brushwork." Xiao Yu then smiled: "I don't know calligraphy and painting, since my sister likes it, then please ask my sister to choose two for me." ”

Qi Pan suddenly said happily: "Really, can I pick for my sister?" Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Of course, there is a talented girl like my sister here, of course, I have to bother my sister." Then Qi Pan said jokingly in his ear: "Sister, don't shirk, my sister doesn't know a few big characters, does my sister want my sister to make a fool of her?" Qi Pan also pursed his lips and laughed.

Xiaoyu asked Mrs. to pick out the vase screen for her, she didn't know anything about it, and she didn't have to use it in vain for the professionals next to her.

Qi Pan picked a long axis of Zhou Guangchao's hibiscus carp for her, and also picked a piece of Zhou's magnolia flowers and birds. Qi Pan said shyly: "Sister, this long shaft is hung on the outside, and this square sketch is the most suitable to be hung on the inside, I don't know if my sister likes it?" Xiao Yu looked at these two paintings, clapped his hands and shouted: "There is also Xiao Yu in this long axis, which is just right for me!" My sister's vision is so good! ”。

Qi Pan looked at Xiaoyu's heartfelt liking, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's good if my sister likes it!" Xiao Yu blinked and looked at Qi Pan and said, "When my sister is well, I will have to bother my sister to paint one herself!" ”

Qi Pan said with a look of hope in his eyes: "If there is really that day, I will definitely draw a small portrait of my sister!" Xiao Yu shook Qi Pan's hand and said, "It will definitely be good, sister, let's think about it now!" ”。

The two sisters were talking and laughing with the paintings, and the lady had pointed to a mahogany four-piece carved peony beauty screen and a red porcelain vase painted with gold, and then selected some small ornaments, and asked the mother-in-law to pack them and send them to Qixia Courtyard.

Then the lady beckoned the two of them to come over, and said: "Seeing that the weather is cold, just choose some fur to make a few coats, and you two pick them out by yourself", and then asked the mother-in-law to open a box and said: "I remember that there are two cloaks in my dowry, and I don't think the colors are too pretty, so I haven't taken them out to wear them, and now you two are exactly one for each person." After speaking, let Zi Yan take out two cloaks.

A large red gorilla felt inlaid with white fox fur with a Zhaojun cloak, and a finch gold tweed lined with sable fur cloak. The two sisters touched their cloaks and couldn't put them down, and Qi Pan said: "My sister is lively and loves to laugh and wear red, I have a quiet temperament, and this finch gold is suitable for me." Xiaoque also bowed his head and said: "What my sister said is that I also like this big red." The lady was quite pleased to see that the two of them did not fight or grab, and were humble to each other.

The three of them chose a silver fox skin for Qi Pan, a mink skin for Xiaoyu, and a fire fox skin for Qi Heng, all wrapped up and waited for the tailor to use to make a jacket together.

As soon as the selection was made, Zi Yao came to report that the tailor had arrived at Qixia Courtyard and was waiting, and asked the two young ladies to go over and measure the size. The lady patted Xiaoyu's hand and said, "After choosing this half day, I am also tired, so you can go over." Xiaoyu, remember to ask them to make a set of dresses to wear at the women's banquet. After saying goodbye to his wife, Xiaoyu and Qi Pan returned to Qixia Courtyard.

Bai Shao and Bai Rong's hands and feet were very fast, and the screen ornaments, calligraphy and paintings sent at the beginning were all arranged, and the entire West Chamber suddenly added a lot of color. Qi Pan pointed out some inappropriate placements, and said to Xiaoyu: "Sister, I'm tired today, you measure the size first, and when you finish measuring, let the tailor come to the east chamber to measure the size of my jacket." I'll go back to my room and rest for a while. Xiaoyu thanked Qi Pan and went back to the room.

After a while, two middle-aged women came in with various colors of silk and satin, and Bai Shao introduced that she was the tailor of the most famous cloud dress shop in Beijing, and asked Xiaoyu to choose the material and style first.

Xiao Yu asked Bai Peony while rummaging through the ingredients. According to the practice of the Hou Mansion, Xiaoyu can make four sets of autumn clothes, four sets of winter clothes, and two sets of various colors of fur clothes.

Xiao Yu asked the two tailors to talk about the styles and colors that are now popular in the capital, and a woman with a shrewd face turned over the silk looks and said: "Second Miss, please see, the slave brought the latest silk patterns in the capital this time, and they are from the south." As for the style, the most popular in the capital now is the twenty-four bright light skirt. Then she described in detail what the bright light dress looked like.

It turns out that this bright light skirt is made up of twenty-four skirts, which can be rotated into a big circle, and each skirt can be composed of different colors, so the flowers are colorful and brilliant between walking, scorching bright light, so it is named Ming light skirt.

Xiao Yu listened to it and thought to herself, isn't this dress just like a big peacock? I'm still young, so I still don't want to wear this kind of colorful dress. But what is the style of the dress at the women's banquet? Confirm with the tailor that the dress has a fixed style, and you only need to choose the pattern, color and material.

The little fish flipped through the silk like a silk, and suddenly saw a piece of silver-white brocade woven with hibiscus dark flowers, and the streamer was flying, so dazzling. Hey, isn't this the first time I've seen the kind of thing Yue Gongzi is wearing, Xiao Yu still remembers the amazing appearance of the Sun Moon Child.

She was hesitating, and the woman said with a smile on the side: "Second Miss, your vision is really good, this silver satin is the hottest in the capital right now, I still deliberately left a horse for the Hou Mansion, otherwise ordinary people can't buy it with money." Xiao Yu chose this hibiscus pattern silver satin as the long skirt of the dress, covered with a jade-colored treasure flower coat, and a moon-white silk.

There are also three sets of clothes, namely: apricot red auspicious moire makeup satin shirt with coral red plain eight-panel skirt, embroidered with silver double swallow wearing cloud map on the skirt; A silver butterfly satin shirt with white snow satin on a big red background is paired with a twelve-panel skirt of white snow satin, and the skirt is embroidered with a double butterfly play orchid; Light pink painted gold plum blossom makeup satin made of outer shirt with lotus pigmented surface 24 skirts, embroidered on the skirt under the moon hibiscus. The colors of these sets of clothes are all one color, and they can also be matched with each other, so that she not only has three sets of clothes, but also chooses pink, light yellow, and light blue three-color silk.

Xiao Yu told the two tailors in detail about her requirements, including what patterns should be embroidered on the placket, cuffs, and skirt to echo. The two tailors were measuring her and praising the fish's whimsy.

After measuring the size, Ai Ai's desire to speak during the two tailoring periods stopped. Xiao Yuqi said: "What else do you have to say?" The shrewd woman stepped forward and said, "That's the case, Second Miss, I see that your clothes are chic and exquisite, and there is no similar style in the capital." The slave wants to ......", she was babbling and didn't know how to speak.

Xiao Yu looked at her with bright eyes and said, "Do you want to make a few more sets and put them in the shop as samples?" The woman nodded hurriedly and said, "Exactly." “。 Xiao Yu groaned for a while, and then said: "This is a trick that I thought of for several nights, but I don't want to collide with others." Well, if you pay me a little fee, I'll let you use it, but after I've worn it, the color and embroidery won't be as heavy as mine. Forget it, you don't have to pay the cost, how about making clothes for me for free. “

After speaking, Xiao Yu stared at the woman with burning eyes. The woman hesitated for a moment and then said, "I don't know what kind of clothes the second lady wants to make." Xiao Yu waved his hand and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, I'll tell you when you come to deliver the clothes in a few days, okay?" Rest assured, the cost will not be higher than these sets of clothes. The woman let out a sigh of relief, and smiled in agreement.

Xiaoyu said again: "I usually like to study clothes and patterns, if I think of a good appearance in the future, I will make it for you and sell it in the shop?" Let's divide by sales. The woman was startled, and then hesitated: "Second Miss, the slave can't be the master, the slave has to go back and discuss with the owner." “

Xiao Yu waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay, wait until you hang my sets in the shop and sell them before you come to me." Xiaoyu was secretly happy in his heart, and finally found a way to make money in ancient times. No matter what, she has watched so many costume dramas and various evening dresses in her previous life, and she is still confident that she will bring forth the new.

Sent the tailor to the east chamber, Xiaoyu only left Bai Fu and Bai Rong in the room, Bai Fu carefully checked the doors and windows and no one peeped, then bowed down with Bai Rong and said, "See Miss." Xiaoyu waved his hand to get them up, and then asked about Yuegongzi's arrangement.

Bai Fu said: "Childe asked the slave and maid to stay with Miss to assist Miss, the slave and maid are good at arithmetic and hidden weapons, and Bai Rong is good at swordsmanship." Xiao Yu said: "I don't care what the relationship between you and Yue Gongzi is, you two stay with me now, you can only listen to my orders, even if Yue Gongzi arranges you to do something, you must also obtain my consent, otherwise, you can go back to Yue Gongzi now." ”，

As soon as the two of them heard this, they hurriedly knelt down and swore that they were only loyal to Miss, and Bai Fu said even more lamentingly: "Miss, don't send the slave and maid back to the son, when the son comes, the son said that if the lady is not satisfied with the slave and maid, the slave and the maid do not have to stay in the world." Xiao Yu immediately understood that this was a dead man raised by Yue Gongzi, and it seemed that Bai Fu and the others did not know their identity as princesses.

Xiao Yu asked Bai Fu curiously if she had any appearance, Bai Fu shook her head and said: "Slaves and maids can simply change the shape of their facial features, but as Miss said, the way to completely change their faces has not been seen in this world." Xiao Yu laughed dumbly, it seems that those martial arts novels are just nonsense, but he is ridiculous and asks Bai Fu for something.

Xiao Yu thought for a while and said, "Then what will happen to Yue Gongzi next?" Bai Fu shook her head and said, "The son only ordered the slaves and maids to come to the young lady's side and follow the young lady to protect the young lady, and there are no other arrangements." ”

Xiaoyu sent Bai Fu to the nurse in the lower courtyard to see, Bai Fu came back and said that Mrs. had set up to send the nurse to the other courtyard tomorrow, Xiaoyu arranged for Bai Fu to send the nurse for her early tomorrow morning, and saw that the nurse was settled and came back.
