Chapter 16 The state of affairs (2)

Chapter 16 Under the situation

Wu Niang had already finished her errands and was at the eldest wife's house every day. When Hu Hue and the others went there, she was not there.

The person who received them was Ziwei.

She served tea to the two of them with a smile: Sister Hubo was a rare visitor, her tone of voice was affectionate, but not respectful.

In the past, Amber belonged to the eldest lady, but now, everyone in the eleventh mother's house is the same. No, based on her dignity in front of the eldest lady, how can the eleventh lady be as good as the fifth lady?

Amber can't be heard anywhere.

But this is human nature

She smiled faintly: I originally wanted the fifth lady to help me make an idea, but unexpectedly, the fifth lady went to the eldest lady’s place.

Ziwei was slightly startled.

Amber explained: You also know that our young lady does not leave the house or step out during these days, and is focused on embroidering screens. But this morning, the eldest wife called the sisters-in-law who are sewing and sewing to come and measure Miss Eleven's four silk clothes.

, six pieces of trousers, four pieces of quilted skirts, one heddle skirt, one moongown skirt, plus four pieces of undergarments, four pieces of underwear, six pairs of shoes, and twelve pairs of socks, Sister Dongqing used to help with them.

This time, Sister Dongqing is helping Miss Eleven with the embroidery work, so I don’t want to disturb her. I think that Miss Five is the most discerning. Even when the eldest wife makes new clothes, she often asks Miss Five to help with the embroidery work, so I want Miss Five to do it too.

I have an idea.

Ziwei looked at the flash of pride in Amber's expression and smiled coldly in her heart.

She's not here to ask for advice. She's clearly here to show off.

Why don't you do what our young lady does? Ziwei's expression was indifferent. This morning, the sisters-in-law who worked on sewing also came to Jiaoyuan. They said that they were ordered by the eldest lady to make spring clothes for the fifth lady. There were also four silk clothes and six pieces.

Coat, four embroidered skirts, one heddle skirt, one moonlight skirt, plus four pieces of obscene clothes, four pairs of obscene pants, six pairs of shoes, and twelve pairs of socks. Our young lady is going to see the eldest wife.

Firstly, she wanted to kowtow to the eldest lady to thank her for this matter, and secondly, she wanted to hear what the eldest lady wanted to make, which texture and color would be good. After saying that, she picked up the tea cup and took a sip gently, smiling.

Said, speaking of which, Sister Hubo serves the eldest lady and specializes in decorating clothes. It is not easy to help Miss Eleven with an idea for her clothes.

Bin Ju couldn't help but frown after hearing this.

Don't everyone say that Amber has a gentle and honest temper? Why did she say such frivolous words when she arrived at Luyun Tower?

I just wanted to ask what colors the fifth lady had made. Bin Ju smiled and answered the conversation, not wanting Amber to say anything offensive again, lest everyone repeat it, which would always be unsightly.

Too.

An idea flashed through Ziwei's mind and she said with a smile: "What our lady wants me to do is to make one piece of damask white, red, pine, green, and turmeric. The half-arms and bra must match these colors. One piece is rose red, and the other is pomegranate red."

, one is bright red, one is grape purple, one is grass green, and one is lotus color. As for the skirt, the skirt is made of white with thread pick-up. Two pieces are made with ruffles, and two are not made with ruffles. The heddle skirt is made of pea green and moonlight.

The skirt is made of true purple. As for the obscene clothes, pants, shoes and socks, they are naturally the same as usual.

As she said this, Bin Ju secretly remembered it in her heart.

Our young lady also wanted to make two main waists and two moonflower skirts. Ziwei's eyes flashed, and the eldest lady specially asked Liu's sister-in-law to help make them.

Sister-in-law of the Liu family is the best at needlework in Luofu.

Speaking of which, it is also because our young lady does not have the good embroidery skills of Miss Eleven, who is one of the few in Hangzhou Prefecture. Ziwei covered her sleeves and smiled, otherwise, she would have alerted the Liu family's sister-in-law, who is our eldest young lady's roommate.

This is clearly telling them that if the eleventh lady has something, the fifth lady has it; if the fifth lady has something, the eleventh lady may not have it.

Bin Ju's face turned green. But she didn't blame Ziwei for speaking sharply, only that Amber behaved in a public way.

The Fifth Miss and our Miss learned from the same master, but our Miss loves Nvhong more, and your Miss loves calligraphy more. She smiled and said a few words to flatter Wu Niang, then stood up and left.

Busy, we have to help Miss Eleven choose materials and colors

Ziwei didn't leave them alone and sent them out the door lukewarmly.

On the way, Bin Ju thought of where Amber came from, so she had to hold back her anger and talk to Amber tactfully about what had just happened: Our young lady has always had a gentle temper. If she has any good things, she will naturally give them to her sisters first, especially these food items.

Food and clothing have never been particular or valued.

Amber heard this and smiled and said: It's all my fault. I didn't expect that an unintentional remark offended Sister Ziwei. She wouldn't blame us, but she said it without any worry.

Bin Ju knew that she didn't take her words to heart, so she sighed secretly in her heart.

I don't have the qualification to speak against her. The young lady always has the qualification to speak up about her. But the young lady's top priority is to embroider the screen. How can I distract her at this time? It's better to wait until the screen is embroidered. It's really not possible. I'll pay more attention to her in the future.

that is.

In a blink of an eye, the two of them had already walked down the corridor.

Hu Bo smiled and said to Bin Ju: "Sister, if you have anything to do, go back first. I'll go to the Liu family's sister-in-law."

Bin Ju was stunned: What are you doing?

Amber smiled and said, "Didn't you say that you wanted to help the young lady choose materials and colors? Why don't you go to Liu's sister-in-law's place to see what materials and colors are available? Why don't the people in the gang always stay out and about? If anything happens to you, you can report it when you go back."

Miss, please tell me.

Hu Hu said with a smile: "Miss, you are so focused on making the screen. How can we worry about such a trivial matter?" After saying that, without waiting for Bin Ju's words, she turned around and hurried to the west. "Don't worry, sister, I'll be back as soon as I can."

Bin Ju stamped her feet, rushed forward and dragged her back to Luyun Tower: I'm not stopping you, I just want to report it to the lady.

Eleven Niang is embroidering a purse there.

Dongqing, like Shiyi Niang, is also embroidering purses.

While she was embroidering, she complained: Everyone knows that you are rushing to embroider the screen this year, so I won’t blame you for being rude if you don’t give it away.

Ever since Eleven Niang became a little bit successful in female beauty, every year before the Spring Festival she would embroider a lot of purses and give them to the Luo family members who came to offer sacrifices on the night of New Year's Eve.

Eleven Niang said with a smile: I'm just tired of embroidering the longevity screen, so I'll just change my hand.

Dongqing hurriedly put down what she was doing and wanted to help her lie down on the bed: If she's tired, just take a rest.

Just as Eleven Niang was about to decline with a smile, the little maid reported that Hu Hue and Bin Ju were here.

The two were slightly startled, and immediately stopped smiling. Eleven Niang sat in front of the embroidery frame, while Dongqing went to lift the curtain: What's going on?

Binju and Hubo walked in and told Hubo that he was going to the Liu family's sister-in-law to change the color and material of the clothes that Eleven Niang had decided on that morning.

Eleven Niang looked at Amber, whose face was full of magnanimity. She pondered for a moment and asked her: Why should she change her face?

Amber smiled and said: Miss is still small, and her skin is as thin as grease. I just want to be in charge of clothes and accessories. Naturally, I have more discernment than us. You can make the decision in this matter.

Amber responded with a smile.

Bin Ju sighed: Miss, you don’t know that Miss Fifth chose bright colors for her spring clothes this time. If we follow Hu Hu’s advice and make all the clothes in soft and elegant colors, wouldn’t we be competing with Miss Fifth?

But what you are most afraid of.

Eleven Niang was startled when she heard this, and asked Bin Ju: What colors did Fifth Sister choose?

Binju said in detail.

Eleven Niang laughed when she heard this: If you have anything to worry about, don’t forget that Amber is in charge of this matter.

Bin Ju vaguely understood, but still felt that something was wrong.

She hesitated and said: But no matter what, she is a member of our house now, we can't let her break in like this.

After hearing this, Eleven Niang laughed pointedly: She won't trespass randomly.

Bin Ju was about to say something else, but Dongqing, who was watching from the side, stepped forward with a smile: Now it is time to embroider the screen in time. The rest will be discussed later.

Naturally, she didn't want to say anything else, so she bent her knees and bowed and retreated. But she couldn't let go. She sat in the banquet area and listened to what was going on outside. She wanted to ask Amber about her visit to the Liu family's sister-in-law.

After a while, she heard Xin’s mother saying hello: Miss Hu Hu, you are back.

Binju stood up and straightened her temples, then sat there quietly waiting for Amber to come in.

The footsteps came closer and closer, but passed by the door.

Bin Ju was startled.

He stood up and lifted the curtain and looked outside.

Then he saw Amber turning around and entering the suite.

The suite has stairs to the ten niang's room upstairs.

Could it be that she was going to Miss Ten's place?

The thought passed by, and she was secretly surprised. Thinking of what Amber said to Wu Niang just now, she felt that her guess was right.

After hesitating for a moment, Bin Ju followed.

As soon as she climbed a few steps, she heard Amber's voice: she had made twelve pairs of socks alone.

Then came the entertainment that Baizhiqiang cheered up: When Miss Eleven was growing taller, unlike our young lady, she did it every year and couldn’t get her hands in after several boxes.

Who can't wear enough clothes? Amber smiled and said, "It's just a few extras for freshness."

Yes, Baizhi's voice is a little forced. It's just that our young lady has a bad temper and makes clothes. It's better to buy some books to make her happy.

In this way, Miss Ten did not make any clothes this time. There was a hint of excitement in Amber's voice.

Bin Ju was furious when she heard this and called Hu Hu downstairs: "It's in there."

Before she could finish speaking, Baizhi had already shaken her hand: Sister, don't say anything. I know it in my heart.

Maybe there was a lot to do on the needlework, so it had to be done in batches. She couldn't help but comfort Baizhi, because in two days the people on the needlework would come to measure Miss Ten.

Baizhi smiled bitterly: "The ladies in the house all have custom-made clothes. I'm afraid they won't be able to do it if they don't do it for Miss Ten. But Miss Ten is the big one, but it's already difficult for us to let Miss Eleven go to the front."

, I’m afraid life will be even more difficult in the future.
