Hua Yiren's words were indeed like a warning bell ringing in Hua Zhuo's heart. Indeed, how long could Mrs. Fifteenth help her? Although the ancestor may not live longer than the fifteenth aunt, she cannot rely on the fifteenth aunt for everything. She must always walk her own path, and the ancestor will not be the only one who faces obstacles in her future.
"So... what does Sister Yiren think I should do?"
Since Hua Yiren had such ability, Hua Zhuo naturally wanted to see how she performed. He immediately called for Nanny Liu and asked her to find some embroiderers with good skills.
"So... what does Sister Yiren think I should do?"
"Believe me or not..."
Hua Zhuo nodded. Zhuang Jing had almost mentioned the same thing to her, but she didn't feel anything about it when she was in Rongchang Hall. She probably didn't have much contact with those girls at that time, so she didn't have any experience. Since both Zhuang Jing and Hua Yiren said so, they must not be wrong.
It's just that relying on the reputation of Master Kuyue won't last long. To stand out, you have to rely on your skills. She is only good at calligraphy, chess, calligraphy and painting. She has been neglecting practice these days, so she has to make up for it quickly. Furthermore, On the nvhong, it's time to embroider. I need to rush to embroider some handkerchiefs, shoe uppers, sachets, etc., so that I can make gifts for socializing.
It was Webster who rescued Hua Zhuo from countless gossips.
"Sister Yiren, is there any famous clothing store in Beijing? Or a tailor who can make clothes well?"
Hua Zhuo also laughed and said, "Sister, it's really easy to say that, don't make me tired."
Hua Yiren smiled softly and said, "My sister has done very well before, do you still need me to teach you?"
It was Webster who rescued Hua Zhuo from countless gossips.
"Miss, I think one or two sets of this jewelry is enough to suit the occasion. What's wrong with the jewelry we brought here? Although the style is not the latest, the workmanship and quality can be ordinary jewelry. Is it comparable? We’ll wear it, and the price won’t drop.”
While Hua Yiren was talking, she drew several more jewelry drawings. Each drawing was a set of hairpins. Fortunately, Hua Zhuo had not yet finished hairpins and had crossed out all the hairpins and hairpins. Otherwise... Anyway, when Grandma Liu After calculating the price of gold, silver, pearls, and gemstones needed to make these jewelry, grandma's face turned green.
"Sister Yiren, is there any famous clothing store in Beijing? Or a tailor who can make clothes well?"
It takes time to sew clothes and make jewelry, so Hua Zhuo was not in a hurry to break into the circle of Shuyuan people in Beijing. Instead, he took a chance and sent a letter to Zhuang Zheng, telling him not to do anything these days. Come here, in order to prevent Mrs. Fifteenth from feeling unhappy when she sees him, she invites Zhuang Jing over by the way.
"This is a good thing. You are a stranger in Beijing. With Jing'er guiding you, I don't have to worry about anything."
After all, Rong'an Hall is different from the past. In order to build the river embankment, the master has not raised enough money, so he has been pouring money into it. One post is tens of thousands of taels. Miss here does not think about saving money, but instead spends money lavishly. Mother Liu Grandma didn’t quite agree.
She stretched out her hand and pointed in the direction of Rongan Hall, and her fingertips drew the word "明" in the air. She pointed in the direction of the Great Buddhist Temple and drew the character "月" in the air.
"You damn girl, you went crazy outside and didn't come to visit my mother. But after a long time, you didn't even go into my house..."
Wei Shi laughed and said: "Why are you excited? Zhuo'er's clothes and jewelry are not ready yet. How can he go out to meet people? In a few days, there will be your sisters. Bring me the list. Who can I invite?" Don’t invite anyone, things are very important here, you can’t just mess around.”
"You damn girl, you went crazy outside and didn't come to visit my mother. But after a long time, you didn't even go into my house..."
Hua Zhuo thought for a while and realized that Aunt Liu also had good intentions and could not refute her face too much, so she carefully looked at the drawings drawn by Hua Yiren, took out two pieces, and said, "I'll give you the patterns of these two sets." If you don't like it, you don't need to fight it. The rest... Well, three sets of them, plus the ones I brought from home, are enough."
By forming an alliance with Mrs. Ming, the movements of Rongchang Hall cannot be hidden from Hua Zhuo. With the help of Master Kuyue, she is destined to become famous in the capital and become the target of many Shuyuan's desire to make friends. This is Hua Zhuo's biggest advantage at present. Take advantage of it. , no one in Beijing would dare to attack her.

Hua Zhuo also laughed and said, "Sister, it's really easy to say that, don't make me tired."
Hua Yiren pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "I have been in Beijing for a few months, and I am familiar with some popular things. If my sister trusts my craftsmanship, I will leave the job of sewing clothes and shoes to me."
Hua Yiren thought for a moment and wore the three sets of jewelry in rotation. Although they were a little short, jewelry was not clothing after all, and it did not have to be worn every day. The key was to match it with the clothes. In addition, Hua Zhuo's original Yes, it was barely enough for going out to socialize, so he put away the two sets of drawings that Hua Zhuo picked out without saying anything.

She probably didn't have much contact with those girls at that time, so she didn't have any experience. Since both Zhuang Jing and Hua Yiren said so, they must not be wrong.
He said this, but Hua Zhuo was obviously thinking seriously. She had not contacted Mrs. Ming for a while, and her second cousin Hua Huan had not visited her again. I don’t know what the situation was. It seemed that she had to take the initiative by herself, so she sent Chang Gui went to watch outside Rongchang Hall. Whenever Hua Huan went out, he would invite him over.
Although the clothes were sewn by herself and were comfortable to wear, she was really not familiar with the popular styles in Beijing and didn't have the time to inquire carefully, so she simply prepared to find someone to make them.
Zhuang Jing said "Oh", obviously frustrated.
It was obviously you who asked me to talk, so Hua Zhuo rolled his eyes and didn't expose her. Mrs. Wei and her fifteenth aunt have been getting along well these days. Of course, they bump into each other occasionally while walking in the garden, and they inevitably have to say something bad to each other. But fortunately, for Hua Zhuo's sake, they can't bear to give in. She was difficult to do, but the two of them were relatively restrained and didn't cause any trouble, which made Hua Zhuo breathe a big sigh of relief.
Seeing that Hua Zhuo believed in her, Hua Yiren naturally had to do her best. She made a long list on the spot, writing down all the cloth, gauze, fur, needlework and other things she needed. Not to mention the embroidery needle. There are more than a dozen pieces in one set.
As for breaking into Shuyuan's circle in Beijing, it's easy. I'll make a post tomorrow and invite Zhuang Jing. This girl has a lot of connections in Beijing. Most of her acquaintances are officials and wealthy people. She can be an intermediary and help spread the word. When Master Kuyue gave her a name tag, someone would naturally take the initiative to invite her. Through repeated exchanges, this network of contacts was established.
When Zhuang Jing saw Wei Shi, she immediately jumped up, threw herself into Wei Shi's arms and said coquettishly: "Mom, my daughter misses you so much. Isn't she being dragged into talking by Sister Zhuo'er? Otherwise, I would have gone to Mom's house long ago. It’s over…”
Aunt Liu is naturally unambiguous in her work. In one day, she brought back ten embroiderers. They all looked dignified, fair, and responsible. They all seemed to have worked in wealthy families, and they were very respectful in greeting and greetings. .
"Hey, sister Zhuo'er, you are finally willing to come out. That's great. I'll post tomorrow and invite all the sisters I'm usually friends with..." Zhuang Jing jumped up excitedly.
Hua Yiren thought for a moment and wore the three sets of jewelry in rotation. Although they were a little short, jewelry was not clothing after all, and it did not have to be worn every day.

"Pfft... I can't do it alone. I only do the cutting and sewing work. I also asked my sister to invite some skilled embroiderers to come. There are five or six embroiderers to help. It will take ten days at most. I promise to be there. Before the Chinese New Year, my sister doesn’t wear anything special every day.”
"Miss, I think one or two sets of this jewelry is enough to suit the occasion. What's wrong with the jewelry we brought here? Although the style is not the latest, the workmanship and quality can be ordinary jewelry. Is it comparable? We’ll wear it, and the price won’t drop.”
She stretched out her hand and pointed in the direction of Rongan Hall, and her fingertips drew the word "明" in the air. She pointed in the direction of the Great Buddhist Temple and drew the character "月" in the air.
Seeing Grandma Liu's face, Hua Zhuo wisely did not ask how much silver was needed, only whether it was enough. When she went out, Mrs. Fang prepared a thousand taels of silver for her. In addition to travel expenses and daily expenses, she was also prepared to let her use it at Rongchang Hall. Later, she thought about going with the dealer, but she was afraid that she would be cheated by Zhuang Er. Madam looked down on her daughter, and before getting into the car, Mrs. Fang stuffed her with another thousand taels.
She summed up her plans with Hua Yiren. Hua Yiren didn't have any other opinions. He just said: "Comparison is common in Beijing. If you want to make friends with others, you need to prepare some new clothes and jewelry. They don't need to be very precious. , but at least you have to look decent and not show your cowardice."

"The main reason is that it's almost the Chinese New Year, and things like cloth and fur have increased by nearly 50%. Otherwise, at most 600 taels of silver would be enough."

Hua Zhuo was not very familiar with the price of goods in Beijing, so he sent it to Nanny Liu for an estimate. It turned out that it would cost at least eight hundred taels of silver, which was still a fraction of the price.
Wei Shi pointed at Zhuang Jing's forehead, laughed and cursed, then looked at Hua Zhuo and said with a smile: "I heard that you have been making clothes and making jewelry recently. You are planning to go out to socialize."
Hua Yiren pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "I have been in Beijing for a few months, and I am familiar with some popular things. If my sister trusts my craftsmanship, I will leave the job of sewing clothes and shoes to me."

"Sister, do it alone?" Hua Zhuo was surprised for a moment, "Doesn't that mean that sister will be exhausted to death?"

Aunt Liu saw that Hua Zhuo respected her opinion. Although the three sets of jewelry were worth a lot of money, she did not need to use the money from the Jingzhong Restaurant. Moreover, the jewelry was used to support the lady during social events. Too little really doesn't make sense, so I couldn't say anything else, so I took the drawings and went to find a skilled gold and silversmith.
Wei Shi laughed and said: "Why are you excited? Zhuo'er's clothes and jewelry are not ready yet. How can he go out to meet people? In a few days, there will be your sisters. Bring me the list. Who can I invite?" Don’t invite anyone, things are very important here, you can’t just mess around.”

Zhuang Jing has almost gone crazy these days. Mrs. Zhuang doesn't care about her much, and Zhuang Zheng dotes on her. Mrs. Zhuang lives here in Huazhuo and can't control her. She spends almost every day with the officials and daughters. Either have a banquet or go to the lake. In my free time, I gossip about which young lady got married and whose wife took a concubine. Then I lament that my former sisters didn’t go out to play much after they got engaged, and so on. , the gossip was unknown, Hua Zhuo invited her here, but for a whole hour he couldn't say what he meant by inviting her, and he just listened to her gossip.

Anyway, when Grandma Liu After calculating the price of gold, silver, pearls, and gemstones needed to make these jewelry, grandma's face turned green.
"So... what does Sister Yiren think I should do?"
It was Webster who rescued Hua Zhuo from countless gossips.
"This is a good thing. You are a stranger in Beijing. With Jing'er guiding you, I don't have to worry about anything."
Wei Shi laughed and said: "Why are you excited? Zhuo'er's clothes and jewelry are not ready yet. How can he go out to meet people? In a few days, there will be your sisters. Bring me the list. Who can I invite?" Don’t invite anyone, things are very important here, you can’t just mess around.”
After all, Rong'an Hall is different from the past. In order to build the river embankment, the master has not raised enough money, so he has been pouring money into it. One post is tens of thousands of taels. Miss here does not think about saving money, but instead spends money lavishly. Mother Liu Grandma didn’t quite agree.
"Mommy, do we have enough money?"
"Pfft... I can't do it alone. I only do the cutting and sewing work. I also asked my sister to invite some skilled embroiderers to come. There are five or six embroiderers to help. It will take ten days at most. I promise to be there. Before the Chinese New Year, my sister doesn’t wear anything special every day.”
"Sister, do it alone?" Hua Zhuo was surprised for a moment, "Doesn't that mean that sister will be exhausted to death?"
"Mommy, do we have enough money?"

Although the clothes were sewn by herself and were comfortable to wear, she was really not familiar with the popular styles in Beijing and didn't have the time to inquire carefully, so she simply prepared to find someone to make them.
Hua Yiren thought for a moment and wore the three sets of jewelry in rotation. Although they were a little short, jewelry was not clothing after all, and it did not have to be worn every day. The key was to match it with the clothes. In addition, Hua Zhuo's original Yes, it was barely enough for going out to socialize, so he put away the two sets of drawings that Hua Zhuo picked out without saying anything.
She stretched out her hand and pointed in the direction of Rongan Hall, and her fingertips drew the word "明" in the air. She pointed in the direction of the Great Buddhist Temple and drew the character "月" in the air.

Seeing Grandma Liu's face, Hua Zhuo wisely did not ask how much silver was needed, only whether it was enough. When she went out, Mrs. Fang prepared a thousand taels of silver for her. In addition to travel expenses and daily expenses, she was also prepared to let her use it at Rongchang Hall. Later, she thought about going with the dealer, but she was afraid that she would be cheated by Zhuang Er. Madam looked down on her daughter, and before getting into the car, Mrs. Fang stuffed her with another thousand taels.
"Pfft... I can't do it alone. I only do the cutting and sewing work. I also asked my sister to invite some skilled embroiderers to come. There are five or six embroiderers to help.

It was Webster who rescued Hua Zhuo from countless gossips.
Hua Zhuo was not very familiar with the price of goods in Beijing, so he sent it to Nanny Liu for an estimate. It turned out that it would cost at least eight hundred taels of silver, which was still a fraction of the price.
Seeing that Hua Zhuo believed in her, Hua Yiren naturally had to do her best. She made a long list on the spot, writing down all the cloth, gauze, fur, needlework and other things she needed. Not to mention the embroidery needle. There are more than a dozen pieces in one set.
In addition to the two thousand taels of silver, Hua Xu also said that if a large amount of silver was needed urgently, he could discuss it with the shopkeeper Fang Da. The business of Jingzhong Restaurant is so good that even if it is temporarily transferred, there can be one or two thousand taels of silver in the account, so in fact, Hua Zhuo has quite a lot of silver that he can use. After deducting the eight hundred taels spent on making clothes, she could still add a few sets of jewelry.

The reason why Nanny Liu turned blue was because the pearls and gemstones used for making jewelry were all in the inner treasury of Rong'an Hall, and their quality was better than those sold in Beijing. However, there was no time to go back to get them right now, plus the New Year. As the holiday approaches, not only the prices of cloth and furs increase, but also the prices of pearls and gems. Moreover, the pearls and gems collected by Rongantang are all brought back from overseas by fleets. They are good and cheap, but those in Beijing are expensive. Not to mention, the things weren't that good, and she would naturally feel bad about spending a lot of money on second-rate goods.
"Sister, do it alone?" Hua Zhuo was surprised for a moment, "Doesn't that mean that sister will be exhausted to death?"
"Sister Yiren, is there any famous clothing store in Beijing? Or a tailor who can make clothes well?"
"Believe me or not..."
Hua Zhuo thought for a while and realized that Aunt Liu also had good intentions and could not refute her face too much, so she carefully looked at the drawings drawn by Hua Yiren, took out two pieces, and said, "I'll give you the patterns of these two sets." If you don't like it, you don't need to fight it. The rest... Well, three sets of them, plus the ones I brought from home, are enough."

Wei Shi pointed at Zhuang Jing's forehead, laughed and cursed, then looked at Hua Zhuo and said with a smile: "I heard that you have been making clothes and making jewelry recently. You are planning to go out to socialize."
Wei Shi pointed at Zhuang Jing's forehead, laughed and cursed, then looked at Hua Zhuo and said with a smile: "I heard that you have been making clothes and making jewelry recently. You are planning to go out to socialize."
Aunt Liu saw that Hua Zhuo respected her opinion. Although the three sets of jewelry were worth a lot of money, she did not need to use the money from the Jingzhong Restaurant. Moreover, the jewelry was used to support the lady during social events. Too little really doesn't make sense, so I couldn't say anything else, so I took the drawings and went to find a skilled gold and silversmith.

"Believe me or not..."
"Miss, I think one or two sets of this jewelry is enough to suit the occasion. What's wrong with the jewelry we brought here? Although the style is not the latest, the workmanship and quality can be ordinary jewelry. Is it comparable? We’ll wear it, and the price won’t drop.”
Wei Shi pointed at Zhuang Jing's forehead, laughed and cursed, then looked at Hua Zhuo and said with a smile: "I heard that you have been making clothes and making jewelry recently. You are planning to go out to socialize."

"Mommy, do we have enough money?"
It was obviously you who asked me to talk, so Hua Zhuo rolled his eyes and didn't expose her. Mrs. Wei and her fifteenth aunt have been getting along well these days. Of course, they bump into each other occasionally while walking in the garden, and they inevitably have to say something bad to each other. But fortunately, for Hua Zhuo's sake, they can't bear to give in. She was difficult to do, but the two of them were relatively restrained and didn't cause any trouble, which made Hua Zhuo breathe a big sigh of relief.

Hua Zhuo nodded. Zhuang Jing had almost mentioned the same thing to her, but she didn't feel anything about it when she was in Rongchang Hall. She probably didn't have much contact with those girls at that time, so she didn't have any experience. Since both Zhuang Jing and Hua Yiren said so, they must not be wrong.
Although the clothes were sewn by herself and were comfortable to wear, she was really not familiar with the popular styles in Beijing and didn't have the time to inquire carefully, so she simply prepared to find someone to make them.

She summed up her plans with Hua Yiren. Hua Yiren didn't have any other opinions. He just said: "Comparison is common in Beijing. If you want to make friends with others, you need to prepare some new clothes and jewelry. They don't need to be very precious. , but at least you have to look decent and not show your cowardice."

Aunt Liu is naturally unambiguous in her work. In one day, she brought back ten embroiderers. They all looked dignified, fair, and responsible. They all seemed to have worked in wealthy families, and they were very respectful in greeting and greetings. .
She summed up her plans with Hua Yiren. Hua Yiren didn't have any other opinions. He just said: "Comparison is common in Beijing. If you want to make friends with others, you need to prepare some new clothes and jewelry. They don't need to be very precious. , but at least you have to look decent and not show your cowardice."
"So... what does Sister Yiren think I should do?"
"The main reason is that it's almost the Chinese New Year, and things like cloth and fur have increased by nearly 50%. Otherwise, at most 600 taels of silver would be enough."
Aunt Liu saw that Hua Zhuo respected her opinion. Although the three sets of jewelry were worth a lot of money, she did not need to use the money from the Jingzhong Restaurant.

It takes time to sew clothes and make jewelry, so Hua Zhuo was not in a hurry to break into the circle of Shuyuan people in Beijing. Instead, he took a chance and sent a letter to Zhuang Zheng, telling him not to do anything these days. Come here, in order to prevent Mrs. Fifteenth from feeling unhappy when she sees him, she invites Zhuang Jing over by the way.
Wei Shi laughed and said: "Why are you excited? Zhuo'er's clothes and jewelry are not ready yet. How can he go out to meet people? In a few days, there will be your sisters. Bring me the list. Who can I invite?" Don’t invite anyone, things are very important here, you can’t just mess around.”
He said this, but Hua Zhuo was obviously thinking seriously. She had not contacted Mrs. Ming for a while, and her second cousin Hua Huan had not visited her again. I don’t know what the situation was. It seemed that she had to take the initiative by herself, so she sent Chang Gui went to watch outside Rongchang Hall. Whenever Hua Huan went out, he would invite him over.
Seeing that Hua Zhuo believed in her, Hua Yiren naturally had to do her best. She made a long list on the spot, writing down all the cloth, gauze, fur, needlework and other things she needed. Not to mention the embroidery needle. There are more than a dozen pieces in one set.
Zhuang Jing has almost gone crazy these days. Mrs. Zhuang doesn't care about her much, and Zhuang Zheng dotes on her. Mrs. Zhuang lives here in Huazhuo and can't control her. She spends almost every day with the officials and daughters. Either have a banquet or go to the lake. In my free time, I gossip about which young lady got married and whose wife took a concubine. Then I lament that my former sisters didn’t go out to play much after they got engaged, and so on. , the gossip was unknown, Hua Zhuo invited her here, but for a whole hour he couldn't say what he meant by inviting her, and he just listened to her gossip.

"You damn girl, you went crazy outside and didn't come to visit my mother. But after a long time, you didn't even go into my house..."

"You damn girl, you went crazy outside and didn't come to visit my mother. But after a long time, you didn't even go into my house..."
"Mommy, do we have enough money?"
When Zhuang Jing saw Wei Shi, she immediately jumped up, threw herself into Wei Shi's arms and said coquettishly: "Mom, my daughter misses you so much. Isn't she being dragged into talking by Sister Zhuo'er? Otherwise, I would have gone to Mom's house long ago. It’s over…”
Hua Yiren pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "I have been in Beijing for a few months, and I am familiar with some popular things. If my sister trusts my craftsmanship, I will leave the job of sewing clothes and shoes to me."
By forming an alliance with Mrs. Ming, the movements of Rongchang Hall cannot be hidden from Hua Zhuo. With the help of Master Kuyue, she is destined to become famous in the capital and become the target of many Shuyuan's desire to make friends. This is Hua Zhuo's biggest advantage at present. Take advantage of it. , no one in Beijing would dare to attack her.
"Nothing can escape my mother-in-law's eyes."
Hua Zhuo nodded. Zhuang Jing had almost mentioned the same thing to her, but she didn't feel anything about it when she was in Rongchang Hall. She probably didn't have much contact with those girls at that time, so she didn't have any experience. Since both Zhuang Jing and Hua Yiren said so, they must not be wrong.

"Hey, sister Zhuo'er, you are finally willing to come out. That's great. I'll post tomorrow and invite all the sisters I'm usually friends with..." Zhuang Jing jumped up excitedly.
Hua Zhuo did not tell Wei Shi his plan, but Wei Shi was not blind. There were so many embroiderers in the house, and Aunt Liu often ran to the Silver House, so it would be strange that she couldn't figure it out.

When Zhuang Jing saw Wei Shi, she immediately jumped up, threw herself into Wei Shi's arms and said coquettishly: "Mom, my daughter misses you so much. Isn't she being dragged into talking by Sister Zhuo'er? Otherwise, I would have gone to Mom's house long ago. It’s over…”
Hua Zhuo also laughed and said, "Sister, it's really easy to say that, don't make me tired."
"Sister, do it alone?" Hua Zhuo was surprised for a moment, "Doesn't that mean that sister will be exhausted to death?"

But fortunately, for Hua Zhuo's sake, they can't bear to give in. She was difficult to do, but the two of them were relatively restrained and didn't cause any trouble, which made Hua Zhuo breathe a big sigh of relief.
"Hey, sister Zhuo'er, you are finally willing to come out. That's great. I'll post tomorrow and invite all the sisters I'm usually friends with..." Zhuang Jing jumped up excitedly.
"Mommy, do we have enough money?"
"Pfft... I can't do it alone. I only do the cutting and sewing work. I also asked my sister to invite some skilled embroiderers to come. There are five or six embroiderers to help. It will take ten days at most. I promise to be there. Before the Chinese New Year, my sister doesn’t wear anything special every day.”
Wei Shi laughed and said: "Why are you excited? Zhuo'er's clothes and jewelry are not ready yet. How can he go out to meet people? In a few days, there will be your sisters. Bring me the list. Who can I invite?" Don’t invite anyone, things are very important here, you can’t just mess around.”
After all, Rong'an Hall is different from the past. In order to build the river embankment, the master has not raised enough money, so he has been pouring money into it. One post is tens of thousands of taels. Miss here does not think about saving money, but instead spends money lavishly. Mother Liu Grandma didn’t quite agree.
"Mommy, do we have enough money?"
By forming an alliance with Mrs. Ming, the movements of Rongchang Hall cannot be hidden from Hua Zhuo. With the help of Master Kuyue, she is destined to become famous in the capital and become the target of many Shuyuan's desire to make friends. This is Hua Zhuo's biggest advantage at present. Take advantage of it. , no one in Beijing would dare to attack her.
"Nothing can escape my mother-in-law's eyes."
"So... what does Sister Yiren think I should do?"
Zhuang Jing said "Oh", obviously frustrated.

Aunt Liu saw that Hua Zhuo respected her opinion. Although the three sets of jewelry were worth a lot of money, she did not need to use the money from the Jingzhong Restaurant. Moreover, the jewelry was used to support the lady during social events. Too little really doesn't make sense, so I couldn't say anything else, so I took the drawings and went to find a skilled gold and silversmith.
