This is a golden house, Liuli Palace...
It's so dazzling at first sight.
I closed my eyes in a panic, as the boss of the embroidery workshop in front was blessed, and I didn’t know who to bow to. When someone spoke in front of me, the voice came from afar, Liu Qiqiao’s world was in shock. She didn't hear clearly what the people in front were saying for a while, but fortunately, she didn't need to hear clearly. She was just a follower, so she could just wait here quietly.
It's just that there is not enough leftover light. In this room, a world of gold and jade is shining brightly.
There were a lot of people. After Liu Qiqiao took a while, Fang Gan raised his eyes slightly and looked forward.
Obliquely in front of her, there was a couch. There seemed to be a few people sitting on the couch. For a while, I couldn't see clearly. I saw a rich old lady in it, sitting on the side with a delicate little eldest sister, twisting the kerchief. , Combing his head, but at the age of eleven or twelve, when he saw Liu Qiqiao looking at her, he blinked at Liu Qiqiao with a smile. Liu Qiqiao hurriedly closed his gaze, and after a while, he looked at Elsewhere, there were three or four people standing in front of the couch, looking like old mother servants, and maids and maids, all dressed like that.
Liu Qiqiao pulled off the front of her clothes. Because she went out to work, she put on all her best clothes. She was usually in the village. Everyone said what she was wearing. But now, she knows that she looks like this. Compared with the people here, it is really crude.
There are still a few seats beside the couch, and I don’t know who they are sitting on. I just think that everyone looks like a person in the painting, they are not more than usual, and they are all beautiful.
She didn't know that it was Mrs. Shen, the mistress of the family, who sat on this couch, the girl next to her was her granddaughter Shen Xiurong, and the chair next to her was her daughter-in-law, granddaughter-in-law, and grandson. Few rooms of concubines.
The old lady Shen was sixty years old that year. The old lady of the Shen family had passed away a long time ago. The old lady of the Shen family had a son and a daughter, and her daughter married far to the south. This son is now the father of Shen Yunong, the head of the Shen family. He was also a short-lived blessed person. At the time of his death, he was less than forty years old. There was only Shen Yunong. After the wife of Mrs. Shen's dowry girl took the house, he gave birth to a son named Shen Yuyuan, who is now in the country. Shen Yunong looked at Zhuangzi. Shen Yunong had a sister, Shen Xiurong who was sitting next to the old lady.
Although Shen Yunong was only twenty-five years old, he already had a wife and six concubines, all of whom were sitting in this hall. Therefore, Liu Qiqiao saw that there were many women in the hall, but for a while, Except for Mrs. Shen, she did not dare to look at the women.
The proprietor of the embroidery workshop didn't dare to delay any more, she hurriedly took out the ruler, and asked the old lady to stand up. She stepped forward and measured it carefully, and while measuring, she said each size to Qiqiao.
She measured and said, Liu Qiqiao responded, until the old lady Shen looked down at Liu Qiqiao strangely, and then said, "Why don't you take some paper to write down?"
The boss of the Embroidery Workshop smiled and said: "I can't remember, but Liu Qiqiao has a good memory, it's okay, ancestor, does she remember?"
"Is it in my head?" The old lady Shen asked Liu Qiqiao this time.
Liu Qiqiao answered in a hurry.
"Really? That's really memorable!" Mrs. Shen said, and then said: "Today is not just my size, but I have to make some skirts for Xiurong. Do you remember them well?"
Before the boss of the embroidery workshop could speak, Liu Qiqiao cautiously said, "Good memory!"
The old lady smiled, her mouth was very admired, and the people sitting next to him were also a little surprised. Madam Shen smiled: "Then I don't believe it. Everyone's size is different. The neckline and cuffs are different. Just listened to Jin. The boss said so many numbers in a string. You can really remember them. Even if you remember them now, you can’t forget them on the way back when they’re not uniform for a while?"
Liu Qiqiao smiled and replied: "Naturally I dare not forget, otherwise, how can I go back and cut clothes!"
When she said this, everyone was curious, and they were whispering, and everyone came up with an idea to embarrass the seamstress.
Shen Yunong's third concubine would know some pen and ink, and she asked the girl to take paper and pen now.
Then called the two concubine rooms to join in the excitement, and asked the lady boss to measure together.
The lady boss is still the same as before, measuring one by one, reporting the count one by one, and the three women are busy taking notes.
When the measurement was over, everyone listened to Liu Qiqiao talking about the value she had just noted, but the three women were all right in a pair.
At this moment, everyone was a little surprised, and a little admired, especially the old lady Shen, called Liu Qiqiao forward, looked at Liu Qiqiao left and right, and smiled: "It's a neat child. Look at what you are wearing. Haven't been out of the cabinet yet, will you come out to work?"
Liu Qiqiao responded and replied: "The family is in a tight life, but boss Jin doesn't dislike it. He usually gives alms and eats food!"
While the boss of the embroidery workshop smiled and said: "Old lady, Qiqiao is not only a good memory, but the craftsmanship of this needle is not bad at all, that is, she has not been out of the pavilion, and it is always inconvenient to show her face, otherwise, come to our embroidery workshop. It's worthy of our best embroiderer!"
The old lady Shen listened to her, and looked at Liu Qiqiao more pleasing to the eye, and said to the grandmother who was on the side: "It's good to look at, reward!"
The mother took the order to take out some scattered silver from her sleeve and handed it to Liu Qiqiao: "The old lady likes you, reward you!"
"This..." Liu Qiqiao was stunned, but the owner of the embroidery workshop was so smiling, "Qiqiao, just accept it. You are the eye of the old lady. How many times have I been here without seeing the old lady? I am so proud of me, let alone rewarding me!"
The old lady Shen smiled and said, "You are doing a big monopoly, so how can you be worthy of my rewards!"
Everyone is smiling.
As I was in a peaceful atmosphere, someone outside the window sang a promise: "The young master is back!"
At this time, Liu Qiqiao was reaching out to take the silver, and his heart kept beating. In the end, he was a rich family. He was talking and laughing like this, and he had never done anything. He rewarded himself with so much silver. Oh my God, it’s really good luck. .
Her attention was focused on the pieces of scattered silver, and she did not see everyone in the hall, together with the boss of the embroidery workshop, looking eagerly out the window.
When she noticed something, it was the old lady Shen who said to Mrs. Shen Shao who was on the side: "Your husband is back, you go over!"
Yes…
Hula la, a group of women responded.
Liu Qiqiao was a little surprised at this, it seems that some important person has arrived.
She took a step back and stood behind the boss of the Embroidery Workshop. She raised her eyes slightly. Before she could see who came in, she saw the lady of the Embroidery Workshop with her red face.
The 30-year-old proprietress actually showed the shy expression that a little girl had. Liu Qiqiao was so strange that she just followed her eyes to look.
Across the porch, the women who just went out outside seemed to be surrounded by somebody, they were greeting and asking for instructions, and their voices were squeaky.
Liu Qiqiao turned his head to look, but couldn't see clearly. Although it was not far apart, there were window screens and flowers in the middle. There was a shadowy shadow. He only felt a dark blue shadow among the lady in pink.
The old lady Shen was a little tired, so she stopped chatting with Liu Qiqiao and the others, and waved them to go down.
The boss of the embroidery workshop walked in front, a little excited, and Liu Qiqiao followed behind.
Hurrying slowly, until they passed through the corridor and walked into the yard, the crowd on the other side had already walked away to the other side. The lady of the embroidery workshop sighed, and Liu Qiqiao asked quietly: "Jin Boss, who is that?"
