When the time comes, there is a Buddha brass incense burner in the middle of the room, the furnace is scattered with clouds, Mrs. Shen sits on the Arhat chair, wearing a golden red pattern on her forehead, and behind her there is an auspicious wishful double flower group pillow, and there is a bowl of steaming wolfberry white fungus soup on the small coffee table.

Ye Lingwu and Shen Yue'er greeted Mrs. Shen when they entered the door, and Mrs. Shen happily gave her a seat, and asked Mama Xuan to bring two bowls of wolfberry white fungus soup.

At this time, Shen Paner was late.

Old Mrs. Shen didn't blame immediately, her eyes swept Ye Lingwu, looked at the black and blue under her eyes, frowned and said, "Ling girl, didn't you sleep well last night?" How could his face be so pale. ”

Ye Lingwu's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly touched his eyes with one hand, and said: "Back to the old lady, maybe I'm too tired these days, and I didn't look good after a long day of travel yesterday." ”

"I'm sorry for you kid. You cook the old Shen Mansion very well, and last night Mama Xuan praised you in front of me for being well organized," Old Lady Shen looked at Shen Yue'er Chao again, "The moon girl can also skillfully handle the trivial affairs of the house, and you two sisters are very sensible after the moon." ”

Shen Yue'er said: "As long as I can share some of the burden for my grandmother, my granddaughter will also be at peace." Yesterday, I saw that my grandmother's face has been bad since I came back, and this morning I specially stewed a cup of red date bird's nest, which is warm and sweet, and it is the best to replenish the complexion, and my granddaughter will bring it to you. ”

Old Lady Shen smiled: "I have a heart." ”

Looking at this picture of the joy of her grandchildren, the roots of Shen Paner's teeth began to itch, and she said: "Grandmother didn't praise me, and my granddaughter has become a lot more sensible after she came to commit the moon." ”

"You?" Old Lady Shen moved her gaze to Shen Pan'er's face, "Since you came to Guilty Moon, you have become more and more unserious, and if I ask you to do something, you will be tired of delaying." After returning to Beijing this time, your mother should also choose someone for you, you say that you don't have a proper shape all day long, how can you be a serious lady in someone else's family. ”

Shen Paner lowered her head and played with the embroidered crane pattern purse hanging from her waist, neither refuting nor making a sound.

Mrs. Shen ignored Shen Pan'er, leaned her body on the pillow, and said slowly: "Please come here, I can read the book alone." By the way, the Wang family sent a few horses of material yesterday, I see that the weather is getting hotter these days, you go to Buzhuang with Mama Xuan to watch, and make a few new clothes. ”

The three girls should leave the house before leaving.

The life in the moon is completely different from the life in the capital, here Ye Lingwu always has the feeling that she is the granddaughter of Mrs. Shen, and she is really the girl in this house.

Although the mansion is small, it is warmer than the huge Ningbei Hou Mansion.

Even after Mama Xuan came to the moon, her spirit was very good, in addition to serving the old lady in Jinghetang before, she almost didn't take care of big or small things, but when she came to the moon, she led the three girls to do things neatly.

The table in the side hall was full of cloth wrapped in color, and Ye Lingwu touched it, all of which were good materials.

Satin, thin silk, silk yarn, purple, cyan, red, and pink are all available, and there are many fabrics suitable for the elderly.

Shen Pan'er looked at Huan Huan and said: "These materials are really good, especially these woven satins, even if they are difficult to buy in the capital, this Wang family is really generous!" ”

In fact, the Hou Mansion of Ningbei is famous all over the world, in the eyes of outsiders, or in the heart of Ye Lingwu, who has not yet entered Beijing, the family feast is like water, and it is like rain, every meal must cost tens of thousands of dollars, and the gold and silver jewelry of the ladies must be piled up in a mountain.

However, it is not, extravagance is not uncommon among princes and nobles, but the glory of the Ningbei Marquis Mansion is fought in the blood, Shen Taihou Ye, Shen Lao Marquis are all great heroes who are benevolent and righteous, posthumously sealing the martyrs, and the current pillar of the Ningbei Hou Mansion Shen Xiaohou Ye is either running around in the military camp or mixed in the court.

Whether it is Mrs. Shen or the eldest princess Jiayi, or the second-room couple, they are all gracious people, extravagant but not wasteful, and teach their children to never be proud of "extravagance".

Yes, Shen Paner's eyes will shine.

Ye Lingwu looked at the purple silk yarn in his hand, thinking about the cups and bowls used at the Wang family's housewarming banquet before, as well as the decorations in the house, not only did he feel that the Wang family didn't look obvious, but he didn't expect that the family was comparable to a businessman.

After picking out the cloth, Mama Xuan called two more servants to move to the Shen family's carriage, and after ordering it correctly, she took the three girls to the cloth village in the city.

The cloth workshop of the moon is not as good as the Huarong Pavilion in the capital, and the style of the Huarong Pavilion is new and well-cut.

The girl from the Ningbei Hou Mansion in the capital came, and the steward of the cloth village was naturally very respectful, opened the four doors in the front, and led four female envoys of the cloth village to serve beside her.

Not to mention Shen Pan'er, the clothes hanging out of the store, even Shen Yue'er didn't take a second look.

The steward is a person who can observe words and feelings, and when he sees the appearance of a few people, he knows that they can't look at the style here, so he hurriedly leads a few people to the courtyard.

The courtyard is large, filled with water tanks filled with all kinds of dyed cloth and water, and rows of wooden bamboo poles hung with long fabrics.

Ye Lingwu looked at it strangely, looked left and right, and saw that those cloth girls were busy with their hands, and they were also interested, and couldn't help but look at it several times.

Entering the backyard embroidery room, more than a dozen embroidery girls immersed themselves in embroidering the patterns on the pure cloth, and the steward's mouth has not stopped since entering the hospital, and they boasted about their embroidery girls.

After the steward finished boasting, he called the consul in Xiuniang.

Mama Xuan negotiated with her, and specially instructed the style of clothes to be upright, not kitsch, and the consul said yes several times, and Mama Xuan was relieved.

The steward sent the guest out again, and when he returned to the shop, Mama Xuan followed the housekeeper to pay the money, and the three girls waited in the shop.

At this moment, the reins of the horses suddenly sounded outside, and with the sound of wheels rolling, I saw a carriage covered with brocade and red satin, driven by two red horses, stopped in front of the gate of the cloth village.

The pomp and circumstance were comparable to those of the capital, Ye Lingwu was stunned, and he saw two female envoys in plain clothes jumping out of the car and standing on both sides, and the one who slowly came down behind was Sun Xinran, the youngest daughter of the Sun family.

"This granddaughter is really magnificent." Shen Pan'er hung her eyes and looked at Sun Xinran who was walking towards her with contempt.

Before Sun Xinran stepped into the door of the store, one of the female envoys ran in first and shouted: "Boss Gong, are the clothes that our girl wants ready?" ”

The shopkeeper stepped forward and said, "It's done, it's done, I just told Xiao Luo to send it to Miss Sun's house in person, but I didn't expect Miss Sun to come and pick it up in person." Miss Sun said that day that this dress was worn at the wedding banquet, and this dress was made by our embroidery girl more elaborate than the sun, so it took a long time, and I asked Miss Sun to forgive me. ”

Chatting over there, Mama Xuan paid the money out, and saw the three girls looking at the door, only then did she know that it was the girl from the Sun family who made such a big disturbance just now.

Sun Xinran also noticed the other people in the shop, and when she saw that it was from the Hou Mansion in Ningbei, her tense face forced a smile: "Miss Shen San and Miss Shen Si also came to Buzhuang to cut new clothes, but I forgive my clumsiness, I didn't immediately recognize it as the Hou Mansion girl and Mama, please forgive." ”

Although she was asked to forgive, Sun Xinran did not give half a salute, Ye Lingwu had seen so many cows, ghosts, snakes and gods in the capital, and this one in front of her was the first to do the most fake with inconsistencies.

Fortunately, a few people didn't know each other, so after a few perfunctory words, they went back to the old Shen house with Mama Xuan.

As soon as they arrived outside the mansion, several little envoys greeted them with a smile, pulling Ye Lingwu to the back door, and Shen Paner also joined in the fun.

Turning the corner, I saw a maroon horse parked in the backyard - the horse's coat was bright and smooth, and it looked like a rare BMW horse.

"What a beautiful horse!" Shen Pan'er was overjoyed and said, "Who gave it to Sister Lingwu?" ”

A female envoy replied with a smile: "It was sent by Lord Zhizhou." ”

Hearing this, Ye Lingwu suddenly remembered that when he went to Huantho Town that day, Sun Kunqian said that he wanted to give him a horse, and he thought that Sun Kunqian would not be able to remember it after returning in a hurry that day, but he didn't expect that the horse would be sent the next day.

Ye Lingwu looked at the horse arrogantly kicked his front legs, his eyes flashed slightly, and he was about to step forward to take a good look, but he heard a surprise cry from behind: "Second son Shen!" ”

Ye Lingwu looked back, and saw Shen Ci standing against the wall, looking at the horse in the backyard lightly, only one glance, Ye Lingwu hurriedly retracted his gaze.

"Second brother!" Shen Pan'er ran forward happily, "Second brother, look at that horse, it's really good-looking, it was given to Sister Lingwu by Lord Sun!" At first glance, I knew that it was specially selected, I looked at it and liked it, what did the second brother think? ”

- Shen Pan'er looked at Shen Ci with her neck in her eyes, with starlight in her eyes. This is not really a compliment on how "good-looking" this horse is, but in fact, it is just a point that Shen Zhan wants one too.

Shen Ci raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Like it?" ”

Shen Paner nodded again and again: "I like it, I like it." ”

"Since the third sister likes ......," Shen Ci smiled evilly, "It's better to embroider a horse on the purse, anyway, you like it too, maybe you can embroider this little purse and gallop out." ”

"......" Shen Paner is petrified.
