CHAPTER XVI

There was no word that night. Let's say that early the next morning, Fang's mother came over early to listen to the errand again.

But it turned out that Shanniang only planned to change the first floor of the embroidery building, but then she thought about it, she had already started anyway, so she simply asked people to rearrange the second floor according to their intentions. It's just that in this way, the action is a bit big, and I couldn't clean it up yesterday, so Fang's mother came over again early in the morning.

When Fang's mother came in, she saw Sanhe, Wufu, Lu'an and Li's mother pulling the four corners of the cat picture, while her eldest girl was standing opposite, biting her thumb and fingertips, tilting her head to taste the embroidery.

"Mommy came early." Wufu was the most lively, pulling the silk silk in his hand to greet Fang's mother.

When Shanniang turned around, she also greeted "Mom morning", and continued to stare at the cat fun picture.

Mother Fang leaned over and smiled: "In the end, it's my wife's baby, I look like a living thing." ”

The embroidery that was pulled by the three and them was more than ten feet long and about five feet wide. On the translucent silk, a bush of green plantain is embroidered. Under the banana leaves, seven or eight fluffy kittens crawled around. The demeanor of each kitten is so vivid and lively, it is the colorful butterfly in the corner that is scattered by the kitten, and it looks like it is about to fly out of the picture at any time.

"Girl, are you going to make it into a glass screen? But do you want the old slave to call the glass dealer to measure the size? Fang's mother asked diligently.

In the previous dynasty, this glass and the Western self-striking bell are the same, are regarded as a kind of treasure collection, but after the rise of the Shizu Emperor "Shengyuan Innovation", the Great Zhou learned a lot of technology from the West, now the glass is good, the self-striking bell is not, although it can not be said to be very cheap, it is not an ordinary people can not afford to buy the object. What's more, now that the Hou family is so poor that they only have money left, they are the poorest five rooms, and it is not difficult to buy a glass screen or something.

"It's just," said Shanniang, "is there a glass shop in our town?" If you want to send it to the city, I don't know how long it will have to be delayed. ”

Fang's mother smiled: "The girl is too worried, there is a Meishan Academy, and our Meishan Town is lively!" Maybe we have it, but we don't have it in the city. ”

"Really?" Shanniang's eyes lit up, and a thought suddenly arose in her mind.

It is said that although these thirteen girls grew up in this Meishan Town, as a declining nobleman, the old lady of her family abides by the rules of the last century, that is, she obeys the call of the imperial court and is willing to send these girls to go to school, but it does not mean that the old lady can accept the status quo that the girls can run all over the street with only one maid - at least the girls in the West Garden do not have this freedom.

Thinking like this, Shanniang, who finally escaped from the cage, couldn't help but feel a burst of heartbeat, rolled her eyes and nodded her chin and said, "It's okay to say that the glass is okay, just measure the size." I was thinking about what kind of base to equip and what kind of pattern to carve on it. ”

"What's this," Fang's mother smiled, "by the way, call the people from the wood shop." ”

Shanniang shook her head slowly and said, "Even if you call someone, I'm afraid I won't be able to tell you clearly." It's best to be able to see the real thing. ”

Who is that mother? Hearing the strings and singing and knowing the elegance, I immediately understood that this big girl who grew up locked in the inner house wanted to go shopping!

So Fang's mother smiled knowingly: "The girl is worried, and she says that seeing is believing, and she thinks that there should be real things in the wood shop." Why don't you go and ask your wife for advice, and then accompany the girl on a trip in person? ”

When Wufu heard this, he almost jumped to his feet and shouted: "I'll go, I'll go!" ”

Fang's mother smiled: "It's not a girl, the old slave is a trip." As he spoke, he turned and went out.

In the hall, Shanniang scared her with her eyes and Wufu: "You can be careful, I will tear up my cat fun picture, and I will pick your skin and make up for it." ”

Wufu stuck out his tongue, carefully stuffed the silk silk in his hand to Grandma Li, came over like a dog's leg, and leaned in front of Shanniang to flatter: "Girl, are you going to go shopping on the street?" Take me with you? I haven't been on the street in a long time. ”

Sanhe, who helped Li's mother roll up the cat fun picture, said with a smile: "When I took a break last time, I didn't know who was shouting and spent all the monthly money on Xiaodong Street!" As he spoke, he also looked at Shanniang with a blank eye.

Shanniang knew that Sanhe also wanted to go, so she smiled and said, "Okay, it's rare for us to come out of the West Garden, so let's go." ”

Mother Li frowned for a while, and persuaded: "This is not good, there is no ...... for everyone to go to the street casually."

"Nanny," Shanniang went over, affectionately holding Li's mother's arm and smiling: "You are all the rules of the previous dynasty, I heard that when the first emperor was at that time, the first emperor also took the current queen mother to go shopping together, can we be more noble than those two?!" ”

"But if the old lady knows......"

Shanniang shook her head secretly for a while, she was good at everything, but she was too timid and afraid. smiled again: "I'm already a person who has come out, how can the old lady still manage me?" As long as my wife agrees, it's fine. ”

Although Shanniang was very happy to be able to leave the West Garden, Li's mother always felt that her girl was "greatly wronged", and it was rare for her to be so interested in seeing the girl, so she softened her heart and stopped saying anything.

After a while, Fang's mother came back with a smile and said, "Mrs. agreed." Mrs. also said that the girl had just come back, and she should have bought some clothes and jewelry for the girl, since the girl was willing to go out for a walk, she could go to Heng Tianxiang to see if she liked something, and the girl just bought it back. ”

Shanniang didn't say anything here, Wufu couldn't help but cheer, provoked Sanhe to stretch out his hand and slapped her, and scolded with a smile: "If you are so embarrassed, I won't take you there!" The crowd laughed.

Li's mother said, "Go ahead, I'll stay." This room is a mess, and someone has to watch and clean it up. ”

Lu'an also said: "I won't go either, I'll help my mother take care of the house." ”

Shanniang was amazed, even she couldn't help but think about going to the street for a while, and she didn't think that Lu'an, who was so young, could bear it.

Lu'an was embarrassed by everyone for a while, and squirmed: "The last time I took a turn off, it was the first time I got the monthly money after I entered the house, but I was careless...... Spent all the money. Today, even if I go out with the girl, I only have greed, so I might as well not go. ”

So Sanhe squeezed Wufu and said: "Look at other people's Lu'an, you have also spent all the money, and I won't borrow you when the time comes." I've always been in charge of the girl's money, and I won't borrow it from you! ”

Wufu smiled nonchalantly: "I don't buy it, can't I just get addicted to it?" The crowd laughed again.

When the master and servant got into the Western-style six-person carriage, Fang's mother said with a smile: "I heard that Heng Tianxiang has just put on this year's summer clothes recently, wait a minute, the girl can go and take a look." Speaking of which, Heng Tianxiang is really good at doing business, and it hasn't been a few days since the beginning of spring, and he actually started to wear summer clothes......"

When Sanhe heard this, he couldn't help but look at Shanniang's face.

But it turned out that this Heng Tianxiang was the royal garment workshop in the palace, and its clothes and jewelry were very famous among the famous families (according to later generations, this is the so-called famous brand). And when Heng Tianxiang releases the next season's new products, he will send the album of the season's new products to the inner houses of various famous families in advance, so the so-called "new listing" in Fang's mother's mouth, in fact, Shanniang has already seen it in the West Garden, and she has also selected and customized some.

It's just that now that they have moved out of the West Garden, whether the customized clothes that have not yet been sent will be delivered to the girl or not, it is a matter of two questions.

Sanhe's eyes, how could Shanniang not understand. Thinking of the envied "little welfare" in the West Garden, she couldn't help but sigh slightly, and said in her heart: Even pigs need to be fed, but pigs don't know that what they eat will one day need to be repaid with flesh and blood.

In the previous life, she was very happy to repay......

- Stupid people.

Shan Niang smiled, looking out through the glass window with carved mullions.

The five-bedroom house is located at the bottom of the long alley, and from the bottom of the alley, it is to the bank of the Luomei River. To the east along the river bank, there is a stone bridge that leads to the opposite bank. The carriage got on the stone bridge, and Shanniang looked back at the long alley, only to see that the wall of her house had been repaired almost all the way into the Luomei River. Inside the long fence along the embankment, the window sill railing on a two-story small wooden building was made into the style of a beautiful woman, looking like a volley on the water of the Luomei River - it was her embroidery building, Chun Shen Yuan.

Xu is saw Shanniang looking back, Wufu also looked back, and said with a smile: "The girl's embroidery building is actually the highest place around." ”

"What about Gao, it's not a fire viewing platform, do you want us to report the fire alarm?" Shanniang quipped.

"That's not what I said, people say, 'Stand high and see far', the girl's embroidery building is higher than elsewhere, and naturally you can see more scenery than elsewhere." Fang's mother laughed suspiciously.

That's right. Reliving a lifetime has this advantage, knowing more than others, the starting point is naturally higher than others, and naturally one step earlier than others can see where is the fire point that cannot be approached.

Shanniang secretly smiled smugly, turned her head, and stopped looking back.

And after less than an hour, Shan Niang will understand how superficial her pride is at this time - that is, if a person lives ten lives again, as long as her choices are different from those in her previous life, she will meet people who are different from her previous life, say things different from her previous life, and do things different from her previous life...... And everything is changing, and it makes no sense that the "past life" that she thinks she has mastered more than others is not changing.

So, in fact, whose starting point is not higher than whom.

*・*・*

After crossing the stone bridge, the town is indeed more lively than Shanniang imagined.

In the previous life, Shanniang was deeply influenced by the old lady, that is, she longed for the excitement on the street, but because of those so-called "rules", she always suppressed herself......

"Oops!" Sanhe, who was sitting opposite her, suddenly covered his mouth and exclaimed, "Oh no! The girl should be 'recuperating' at home now, if she is seen...... How good is that? ”

Just because of the excitement of being able to go on the street, Sanhe, who has always been thoughtful, actually forgot about this.

She looked at Shanniang with panic.

"What's so bad," Shanniang still looked at the scenery outside the window with such interest, and smiled without looking back: "Everyone knows that I'm not really sick." ”

"But ......" Sanhe hesitated for a while, "Let the West Garden know...... It's not always good......"

"So what? I don't want to go in again anyway. "I wish I could make the old lady so angry that she would ignore her again!

"What's that?" Shanniang suddenly pointed to a merchant on the side of the street and asked.

Wufu looked at it and said with a smile: "That's blowing candy." It's made with maltose. Take the straw and roll it in syrup, blow it while it's hot, and when it's cold, it's a hollow sugar ball. My brother loves to play this the most......"

Looking at the girl who was in the car window with Wufu, Sanhe suddenly felt relieved.

She is different from Wufu, Wufu doesn't like to think about things, as long as no one asks her for trouble, she can always get by like this. Sanhe, on the other hand, prefers to figure out the way forward.

The reason why Sanhe entered the West Garden was not because she wanted to, but because her family was a servant of the Hou Mansion, since her grandfather's generation, the family was a senior servant at the steward level, and now her Lao Tzu Niang and her brothers are also quite important in front of the masters, so almost everyone thinks that as the only daughter in the family, if she can't enter the West Garden on an errand, it is simply a loss of their family's dignity...... So out of helplessness, Sanhe had no choice but to enter the West Garden.

And since she was seven or eight years old and followed a thirteen girl, she knew that her girl was a "self-motivated" girl. It is actually very hard to follow a master who "seeks progress", not to mention that the West Garden is such an invisible realm that kills people. So she always lived very cautiously in that garden, for fear that one would accidentally become a pond fish that would be affected. At that time, although she was still young, she was already looking forward to getting married as soon as she was old, and she didn't even care who she married, as long as she could get rid of this kind of day when people didn't dare to pant loudly.

She thought that before the age of eighteen, she was destined to be so mixed, but she didn't want her girl to suddenly "figure it out" somehow, and she suddenly slacked off - with Sanhe's cleverness, she could naturally see that her girl was deliberately begging to go out, but what she wasn't sure about was whether the girl would regret the loss of circumstances after she went out, after all, what she could get in the West Garden was not comparable to the outside......

Fortunately, the girl seemed determined not to go back.

So looking at the street scene outside the car window, Sanhe also smiled very relaxedly. Regardless, she made the right choice.

As for Mother Fang, she couldn't help but peek at Shanniang and looked at her again. Mother Fang didn't care about whether the girl was willing to go back to the West Garden, what she cared about was whether the big girl's savings would cause her trouble.

And from today's observations, although this young age, he is a slippery person. Although she didn't keep her hand, she "shot when she should shoot" - Fang's mother didn't ask for much, what she asked for was this "shoot when she should shoot", as long as the girl was not a fool and would not follow Ma's mother to add chaos to the already messy house, Fang's mother felt that everything was good.

So Fang's mother was also in a good mood.

Therefore, in this Western-style four* carriage, although carrying all kinds of different thoughts, the horse's hooves are extraordinarily light.
