Chapter 90: Yun Clan is ashamed
Wei Ruo sneered in his heart, then raised his head, pretended not to hear the voice of the Yun family, and said to the Yun family with a smile:
"Is Mother going to make me clothes? For the first time since I returned home, my mother has been making clothes for me. It's almost winter, so you should make your clothes thicker, right? ”
Wei Ruo asked several questions one after another, and Yun looked at her clear and bright eyes, and she couldn't say what she was ready to say.
Wei Ruo continued: "Although those clothes were new when I first returned home, they should have been made according to the size of Sister Qingwan, and my mother didn't know my size, so I could only do it according to Sister Qingwan's size. This time I made clothes, but I had to ask the master to measure it for me. ”
Hearing this, the Yun family couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, at that time, he really didn't know what the size of his biological daughter who was far away in Huzhou Mansion was, and it was not easy to judge the clothes, so he took the new clothes that had not yet been worn for Wanwan to Tingsong Yuan and prepared them for Ruo'er.
But later, when I saw Ruo'er wearing those clothes, she was graceful and smart, beautiful and delicate, and she could hardly see anything that didn't fit, so she didn't think there was anything wrong.
In previous years, the government would make clothes twice a year, but in the middle of this year, when the war was going on, she had to worry that her husband, who was on the front line, was busy with family affairs and didn't take care of it, so she didn't arrange to make clothes.
As a result, Ruo'er has not dressed according to her size since she returned home.
Yun said with some guilt in his tone: "That's as it should be, and it will definitely be measured." ”
Then when the Yun clan looked at the cloud brocade in front of Wei Ruo again, his expression was a little hesitant.
But after thinking about it for a while, he still decided to speak: "Ruo'er, the materials of these two cloud brocades are very good, why don't I use these materials to make new clothes for you?" This material is precious, and the color is also good-looking, and it is more decent for you to wear the clothes made of this material to Fucheng. When I go back to the house, I will make it up to you. ”
"Mother means that if it weren't for the fact that Miss Xie sent me these cloud brocades, our school captain's mansion wouldn't be able to go to Fucheng next month to participate in the garden party?" Wei Ruo asked.
"That's not what I mean. If you don't have it, it's okay, but just happening, that's naturally the icing on the cake. Yun said.
"If you want to make clothes out of cloud brocade, you can only make my part." Wei Ruodao.
Yun frowned: "Ruo'er, you and Qingwan are sisters, Wanwan has always cared about you, and thinks about you for everything, you should also show your demeanor as an eldest sister." The Xie family has brought so many gifts, and my mother doesn't want you to do anything else, just these two cloud brocades with different patterns, and you two sisters will make one by one. And this is what my mother borrowed from you, and I will definitely pay you back when I have good material when I turn around. ”
Wei Ruo had a smile on his face, and explained unhurriedly: "Mother doesn't know, the reason why Miss Xie chose to give me two cloud brocade satin horses is because she saw that the clothes I wear on weekdays are much worse than hers, and the clothes don't fit very well, so she must want me to wear the clothes made of the materials she gave me, right?" ”
Hearing this, Yun's heart couldn't help but tighten.
Wei Ruo continued: "This cloud brocade, although there are many clothes to make one, it is not enough to make two. These two styles of materials were personally selected for me by Yingying, and she must have wanted to see me wear both. ”
As soon as Wei Ruo said this, the Yun family couldn't continue to open his mouth to ask Wei Qingwan for Yun brocade to make clothes, and Wei Ruo said earlier that the mansion had indeed not made clothes for Wei Ruo alone, which made the Yun family feel guilty, and completely dispelled the idea of using cloud brocade to make a new set of clothes for Wei Qingwan.
But Yun immediately thought that if Ruo'er made a new dress for Yun brocade at that time, and Wanwan didn't, Wanwan would inevitably be sad.
So he looked at the things in front of Wei Ruo, thought about it and said, "If the cloud brocade can't work, if you pick some objects that you don't need for Wanwan, you should appease Wanwan." When the time comes to go to Fucheng, the two of you will be dressed differently, and she will inevitably feel bad in her heart. ”
Wei Ruo still had a shallow smile on his face:
"Mother doesn't know, I am now friendly with Miss Xie's family, the other party gave me a gift, I can't let her look down on it, I must return the gift when I turn back, otherwise just accept the other party's gift but don't know how to return the gift, and then lose not only my face, but also the face of the entire school captain's mansion. Does my mother want to hear outsiders say that my Wei family doesn't know how to be polite, and just wants the benefits of other people's families? ”
"Even if outsiders don't gossip, if I always reach out to take the benefits given by the Xie family, but I don't know how to thank the gift in return, then sooner or later I will be looked down upon by the Xie family, where will they be good friends with me at that time? Mother said yes? ”
Yun was dumbfounded.
Wei Ruo continued: "If you want to give a gift, you must spend silver, and it will cost a lot, which is much lighter than what the Xie family gave me. But my monthly money is so much, it is difficult to scrape together enough money to return the gift to the Xie family, these gifts received, some of the ones I don't use, the common ones are not easy to recognize, I have to pick them out another day, and sell the ones that can be resold, and exchange the silver to give Miss Xie a gift in return. ”
Xiumei moved her things and went in, and when she came back, she heard her young lady opening her eyes and talking nonsense.
How could the young lady sell the gifts given to her by others, if she didn't have money, the young lady would definitely want to earn it in other ways.
Yun said: "But this method of selling gifts from others in exchange for money is not very good, if people know about it, they will be laughed at." ”
Wei Ruo: "Then where does my mother think my money will come from?" ”
Yun was dumbfounded again.
Wei Ruodao: "I also hope that my mother will understand my difficulties, I have just returned home, I have no foundation, and I don't have any money, so I will inevitably send some things when I interact with other ladies, and I have to have some considerate savings." ”
Being said by Wei Ruo, the Yun family felt quite uncomfortable in his heart. Ruo'er has not returned home for a few months, and these things are indeed a little more difficult for her, and it is not easy for her to do this now.
The daughter's situation is difficult, and the school captain's mansion is now in a state of lack of silver, and she can't come up with too much silver to give her daughter to let her daughter buy things and give them away like Miss Xie.
"Wei Niang knows, this matter should be regarded as a mother, I didn't say it, you can handle these gifts yourself." Yun Shi Dao.
After speaking, he thought of something again, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Speaking of which, if you are the eldest daughter in the family, your monthly money should rise." ”
"It's not good, if my monthly money goes up, what will Sister Qingwan do?" Wei Ruo asked.
