"What's going on?" Qin Wanru's eyes fell on the brocade held by the two women at the back. The brocade, which should have been flat, looked wrinkled. Although it was not obvious, it still fell in Qin Wanru's eyes.
"It was... the eldest lady accidentally knocked it off just now." The housekeeper of the sewing room replied tremblingly.
The several masters she had met for the first time had already been frustrated by one of them, and she did not dare to make any more mistakes, otherwise the steward of this sewing room would be considered to have done her job.
The servants in the mansion are also well-informed and know that the person in charge of the mansion is Mrs. Shui, not Mrs. Di. The second lady is Mrs. Shui's daughter, so she is naturally more concerned about it than the eldest lady.
"Thrown out by the eldest sister?" Qin Wanru looked at the troubled face of the housekeeper and said gently with a smile.
"Yes!" Facing Qin Wanru's clear eyes that seemed to see through people's hearts, the housekeeper lowered her head and did not dare to hide it. The second young lady looked young, but her behavior was better than that of the eldest lady. It was much better, she actually felt very dignified.
This steward of the sewing room just sold his job and entered the government. He had worked in a large embroidery workshop before and had met many ladies from aristocratic families. However, he still felt that the young second lady in front of him was extraordinary and different from those aristocratic families that had passed down the tradition for centuries. Compared with the young lady, he was not inferior, and he became more and more respected for a while.
"Why throw it away?" Qin Wanru fiddled with the teacup in front of her with her slender fingers and asked with interest.
"Say...said these materials are not to her liking!" the woman in charge said naa-naa.
"Let me take a look!" Qin Wanru said gently.
Originally, they were asked to choose the materials. After hearing what Qin Wanru said, the woman in charge immediately asked the two women following behind to deliver the brocade materials to the square table in the middle and spread them out for Qin Wanru to choose carefully.
Because it is winter, the materials this season are thicker, and the patterns on them are also very well chosen, some are light and some are rich, and everyone's preferences should be catered for.
Qin Yuru likes to show off her temperament as a talented woman in front of others, so she often likes some plain white materials, but there are a lot less of these materials in winter. The few pieces of materials in front of her can actually be considered elegant and beautiful, but She was still disliked by Qin Yuru.
Reaching out and touching a piece of light yellow clothing that was faintly tinged with plum blossoms, Qin Wanru placed it in her hand and lined it, which matched her skin color and made her snow-like skin even more vivid.
Then Qin Wanru picked another piece of light pink material with small green bamboo leaves. This material also looked good. It also matched Qin Wanru's skin and reflected her age.
Winter is over and it’s time to celebrate the New Year. Who doesn’t like the younger generation to dress festively and beautifully during the New Year? As for those plain white clothes, they are not popular at this kind of banquet with elders. For the big New Year, those old people don’t like it. Would love to see this pure white color.
Qin Wanru picked four pieces of material, all of which matched her skin color and had a bit of a girl's squeamishness. She made four outfits in one season. This was a rule in Jiangzhou.
"Miss, Mrs. Shui said that each lady should make two more clothes." The old woman in charge breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that after Qin Wanru's selection, no enchanting children came out, and said with a smile.
Qin Wanru understood what Shui Ruolan meant after thinking about it for a moment. He had just arrived in the capital, and there would probably be a lot of banquets to attend, so he had to make two more clothes to prepare.
So I picked two pieces of material.
After selecting, it was time to take the measurements. Qingyue was helping the woman in charge take the measurements. After finishing the measurement, she looked at the numbers on the top and looked at Qin Wanru with a cheerful expression: "Miss, you still haven't grown. !”
Qingyue secretly thought that her young lady would not grow taller, right? What a rush!
From last year to this year, Qin Wanru has barely grown much. Even when measured, she didn't grow much taller. However, Qingyue has grown a lot longer than last year. In comparison, Qin Wanru has indeed grown slower.
Qin Wanru smiled slightly. She was not worried about her height. She just didn't have a vagina now. Once she had a vagina, she grew very fast. In her last life, although she was not particularly tall, she was no taller than other ladies. short.
"This is all you need?" After finishing measuring, Qin Wanru sat down and asked.
"This... that's all for now." The woman in charge hesitated and said.
"Sister, do you like plain materials, which you don't have?" Qin Wanru smiled slightly and asked again.
"Yes... the eldest lady said that the materials of the slaves are too flashy and gaudy, which is really not good." The woman in charge lowered her head and spoke Qin Yuru's original words.
"Then has she chosen?" Qin Wanru reached out and tapped on the table, thinking about it before asking slowly.
"The eldest lady chose two sets, but didn't choose any others. She said she would let the slaves bring her materials to choose from." The woman in charge twitched her brows. She still doesn't know what to do about this matter, so she can only go back. Back to the water lady.
Thinking that the first time Mrs. Shui asked me to do something, I failed. How would I manage the sewing room from now on? Maybe even this managerial position would be removed, and I felt bitter for a while.
"If you are celebrating the New Year, of course you should choose something festive. What other materials should you choose? Have you asked Mrs. Di?" Qin Wanru looked matter-of-fact and pursed the corners of her red lips.
"I'll go to Mrs. Di's place first, and then I'll go to the eldest lady's place." The housekeeper told the truth.
"Don't go to mother first, go to Mrs. Di and tell her about your eldest sister. This is the New Year, so you have to choose some festive ingredients. I said these ingredients were chosen by my father. My father has seen them and likes them all!" Qin Like raising the corners of his mouth, he said.
"Go to Mrs. Di to talk about this?" The woman in charge didn't react for a moment, but her eyes suddenly lit up and she nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, I will go find Mrs. Di in a moment. Thank you, Miss Second!"
They are both wives, but Mrs. Di has no housekeeping rights. She has fallen out of favor with the general at a glance. Knowing that this satin was chosen by the general, she will not compete with the general, and she will definitely let the eldest lady choose the material obediently. , if this matter is done properly, it will definitely be appreciated by Mrs. Shui.
Mrs. Shui couldn't fail in her first errand.
"Why are you thanking me? I just remembered that these materials should have been selected by the steward sent by my father early!" Qin Wanru said with a slight smile.
Those who came to Beijing yesterday brought the materials here today. Shui Ruolan didn't have the time, so the steward who came to Beijing in advance prepared some.
"Thank you, Miss Second!" Even though he knew that Qin Wanru was telling the truth, he still thanked Zhangfang's steward and had a very good impression of this Second Miss.
After that, Yujie gave them some instructions on the embroidery patterns on the clothes and the styles of the buttons. The old woman in charge wrote them down one by one. When she left, she carefully asked a woman to take the materials Qin Wanru selected and the card. The embroidered painting table went back to the sewing room first, for fear that Qin Yuru would cause trouble again later.
After a while, he deliberately picked the materials chosen by the second lady and made him unhappy again.
The woman in the sewing room even felt that the look on the face of this noble-looking young lady was really fake.
The next thing went smoothly. After I went to tell Mrs. Di about it, sure enough, Mrs. Di immediately took them to Qin Yuru's Yalanxuan. After the mother and daughter talked for a while in the room, they asked the needle and thread The mother-in-law of the house took people in.
Qin Yuru reluctantly picked four pieces of material, and then waved her mother-in-law impatiently to leave.
The woman in charge took several women from the sewing room and bowed respectfully before retreating.
"Mother, I don't like these materials. Did Shui Ruolan deliberately give me these materials to choose from? There's nothing outstanding about picking them!" When the mother-in-law in charge left, Qin Yuru looked annoyed. He sat down and said, "Mother, I don't like these clothes. They look gaudy and petty. All the sisters in the Yong-Kangbo Mansion are dressed very elegantly."
"Yuru, don't dislike it. This is the material your father asked you to pick. Just make it first. If you don't like it, you don't have to wear it. Mother will take you out tomorrow and just pick the material to make your own clothes. Don't do it for this." This makes your father unhappy. Today is different from the past. Even if mother wants the sewing room to choose another one for you, she can't." Mrs. Di comforted Qin Yuru.
Although there were rules in the government in previous years, Qin Yuru was always different from Qin Wanru, that is, Qin Wanru was ignorant and didn't notice!
"Mother, I hate Shui Ruolan, I hate Qin Wanru, and I hate my grandmother!" Qin Yuru was furious.
"Yu Ru, don't worry. They are making trouble now in this small area of the house. Could it be that Shui Ruolan and Qin Wanru can't enter the circle of aristocratic families without my guidance? They will beg me when the time comes. place." Di Shi sneered, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
How could she not hate her, especially when she saw that Qin Huaiyong went to Shui Ruolan's yard yesterday, which made Shui Ruolan's heart break. Qin Huaiyong had not set foot in her yard again since what happened in Jingxin Nunnery.
I thought it would be different in Beijing, at least Yong-Kangbo Mansion was right in front of me, Qin Huaiyong had to give in, but it turned out to be the same. Even if he accompanied him to Yong-Kangbo Mansion during the day today, it would be early. When I came back, it seemed like something was urgent.
But there was something urgent. News came from the mansion. The reason why Qin Huaiyong came back was to support Shui Ruolan. When Shui Ruolan met the manager for the first time, he was sitting aside to control the place. The town's mansion The servants here all respect Shui Ruolan and dare not go against her.
In the past, when he was in Jiangzhou, Di's business had been in business for so long and he had many confidants. But this time when he went to Beijing, most of his confidants were left behind in Jiangzhou. Many people were dismissed. Without so many confidants, they immediately lost their jobs. Di Shi was stretched thin and felt that there were not enough people on hand.
Fortunately, she had already dealt with her sister-in-law today and asked her to "send" a few people to the mansion to help her handle her affairs. As for Shui Ruolan and Qin Wanru, she would make them truly realize who is in the backyard of the Qin mansion. master.
"Mother, aren't they unwilling to follow us to the banquet? Don't take them with you!" Qin Yuru curled her lips and mocked, "They have never seen the world, how can they have the nerve to go out!"
"No, I'm going to take them there, and I'm going to make them beg me!" Di said gloomily, as if there were ice chips in her eyes! It just so happened that news came from my sister-in-law.
She wants them to beg to come to her door...
