Chapter 16 State of affairs (Part 2)
Fifth Mother had an errand early, and she was tired of being with the old lady every day. She was not there when Humber and the others went.
It was crape myrtle who received them.
She gave them tea with a smile, "Sister Amber is a rare visitor!" There was intimacy in her tone, but no respect.
Before, Kohaku was the person of the old lady, now, it is the person in lady eleven's house...Everyone is the same. No, with the dignity in front of the eldest lady, how can Miss Eleven be up to Miss Fifth!
Amber can't hear it.
But this is the human relationship...
She smiled faintly, "I wanted Miss Fifth to help with an idea. Unexpectedly, Miss Fifth went to the wife!"
Ziwei was slightly startled.
Amber explained, "As you know, our lady will embroider the screen without going out of the door these days. But this morning, the lady called the sister-in-law of the needle and thread to measure the clothes for Miss Eleven. Four pieces of silk clothes. , Six quilts, four thread-taking skirts, one full skirt, one Yuehua skirt, plus four obscene clothes, four obscene pants, six pairs of shoes, twelve pairs of socks...I used to be Dong Qing sisters. This time, Sister Holly is helping Miss Eleven do embroidery work, I can’t bother me. Thinking of Miss Wu’s most foresight, that is, the eldest wife makes new clothes, and she often asks Miss Wu to help her staff, so she wants Miss Wu Give me an idea too."
Ziwei looked at the flash of pride in Amber's expression, and smiled coldly in his heart.
Where is she here to ask for ideas, clearly to show off!
"It's better to follow our lady." Ziwei's expression was faint, "The sister-in-law on the needle thread also arrived at Jiaoyuan this morning, saying that they were ordered by the eldest wife to make spring clothes for the fifth lady. Also four pieces of silk clothes. , Six blouses, four thread-taking skirts, one full skirt, one Yuehua skirt, plus four obscene clothes, four obscene trousers, six pairs of shoes, and twelve pairs of socks. Our lady went to see the big lady , It is precisely for this matter-first, I want to thank the big lady, and second, want to hear what the big lady said. What kind of texture? Which color is good." She said, she lifted the tea cup lightly. He took a sip lightly and smiled, "Speaking of which, Sister Humber served by the lady's side, and she was in charge of the jewelry and clothes, and helped Miss Eleven's clothes. It's not a matter of grasping!"
Bin Ju frowned.
Don’t everyone say that Amber is gentle and honest? Why did he say such frivolous things when he got to Luyun Tower!
"I just wanted to ask what color Miss Fifth made." Bin Ju smiled and took the conversation, not wanting Amber to say anything that offends people, "Lest everyone repeat it, it's always not beautiful."
Too.
Ziwei's thoughts flashed, and he smiled and said, "What our lady meant is that Lingyi will make one piece each of moon white, azure red, pine green, and turmeric. Half of the arm and the twill must match this color, one piece of rose red, one piece One piece is pomegranate red, one piece is bright red, one piece is grape purple, one piece is grass green, one piece is lotus color. As for the skirt, the thread-pick skirt is made white. Two pieces are made of hem, two pieces are not hem. The full skirt is made of bean green The Yuehua skirt is really purple. As for the clothes, pants, and footwear, they are naturally the same as usual."
As she said, Bin Ju kept it in her heart secretly.
"Our young lady also wants to make two main waists and two Yuehua skirts." Ziwei's eyes flickered, "My wife specially asked Liu's sister-in-law to help them."
The sister-in-law of the Liu family has the best needlework in Luofu.
"Speaking of it, it's also because our lady doesn't have Miss Eleven who is one of the few good embroidery workers in Hangzhou," Ziwei smiled while covering her sleeves. Little grandma's companionship."
This is clearly telling them that Miss Eleven has it, Miss Fifth has it; Miss Fifth has it, Miss Eleven may not have it.
Bin Ju's face turned blue. But Ziwei is not to blame for her sharp talk, only Amber for being public.
"Miss Wu and our lady are a master who is learning art, but our lady loves more female red, and your lady loves calligraphy more." She smiled and said a few flattering words to Fifth Mother, and got up to leave, "You I'm busy here too, we have to help Miss Eleven pick materials and colors!"
Ziwei did not keep them, and sent it out lukewarm.
On the way, Bin Ju thought about where Amber came from, and had to resist his anger and talk to Amber tactfully. "... Our lady has always been a gentle temper. If there is any good thing, naturally let her sister first, especially These food and clothing, have never paid attention to or value."
Humber heard this with a smile and said, "It's all my fault. I didn't expect an unintentional sentence to offend Sister Ziwei. She wouldn't blame us?" She said it without worry.
Bin Ju knew that she didn't take her words to heart, and sighed inwardly.
I don't have the right to talk about her, the young lady is always qualified to talk about her! But Miss's top priority is to embroider the screen, how can she be distracted at this time. Let's wait until the screen is embroidered! It really doesn't work, I will just look at her a little more in the future.
Suddenly, the two had already left the corridor.
Humber smiled and said to Bin Ju, "If my sister has anything to do, please go back first! I'll go to Liu's sister-in-law."
Bin Ju was stunned, "What are you doing?"
Amber smiled and said, "Didn't you say you want to help Miss choose the materials and colors? How can you help Miss choose the materials and colors without going to Liu's sister-in-law?"
Bin Ju became anxious, "You know that I'm talking about entertainment, how can you take it seriously? The people in our house are not walking outside. If you have anything to do, I will tell the lady when I go back."
Amber smiled and said, "Miss made a screen wholeheartedly, how can we worry about such a small matter, Miss." After saying that, without waiting for Bin Ju to speak, he turned and hurried to the west, "Sister, don't worry, I'll be there!"
Bin Ju stomped her feet, and rushed forward to drag her back to Luyun Tower, "I'm not stopping you, I just want to tell the lady!"
lady eleven is embroidering the purse there.
Dong Qing, like lady eleven, is embroidering purses.
While embroidering, she complained, "Everyone knows that you are embroidering the screen this year, and you will not be blamed for being rude if you don't send it."
Since lady eleven's female celebrity has become a small success, every year before the Spring Festival, she embroiders a lot of purses, and on the evening of the New Year's Eve, she will give it to the family of Luo who come to worship.
Lady Eleven smiled and said, "I'm just tired of embroidering Shouping, so I'll change my hands."
Dong Qing put down the work in his hand to help her to lie down on the bed "If you are tired, just rest."
Lady eleven was about to say aside with a smile, and the little maid told Humber and Bin Ju that they were here.
The two of them were slightly startled, and immediately reduced their smiles. Lady eleven sat in front of the embroidery frame, and Dong Qing went to lift the curtain. "What's the matter?"
Bin Ju and Amber walked in and said that Amber was going to Liu's sister-in-law to change the color and material of the clothes decided by lady eleven in the morning.
Lady eleven looked at Amber with her open face, pondered for a moment, and asked her "Why change?"
Amber smiled and said, "The lady is still small, and the skin is as thin as fat, and I want to choose a few silk silks with soft texture and elegant colors to make spring clothes..."
Before she could speak, lady eleven nodded, "You used to be in charge of clothes and jewelry in your mother's room, so naturally you have a better vision than us. This matter is up to you."
Amber smiled and went away.
Bin Ju sighed, "Miss, don't you know that Miss Wu chose bright colors for her spring clothes this time. If we make soft and elegant colors according to Amber's words, wouldn't we fight Miss Wu? This is your most taboo."
Lady eleven stunned, and asked Bin Ju, "What color did the five sisters choose?"
Bin Ju said in detail.
Lady Eleven laughed as she listened, "What can you worry about! Don't forget, this matter is all made by Amber."
Bin Ju faintly understood a bit, but still felt that it was a bit wrong.
She hesitated, "But anyway, she is now in our house. We can't let her run around like this, right?"
Lady eleven smiled pointedly when she heard it, "She won't rush."
Bin Ju wanted to say something, Dong Qing, who was watching, smiled and stepped forward, "Now it is the business to embroider the embroidery screen in time. Others, let's talk about it later!"
Naturally, she didn't want to say anything, so she bowed her knees and retired. But couldn't let it go. Sitting at the banquet, listening to the movement outside, wanted to ask Humber about the situation of Liu's sister-in-law.
After a while, she heard Mama Xin saying hello, "Amber girl, you are back!"
Bin Ju stood up and straightened his temples, and sat there waiting for Amber to come in.
The footsteps gradually approached, but passed by the door.
Bin Ju was startled.
Get up and look out.
She saw Amber turn around and enter the suite.
The suite has stairs to Shiniang upstairs.
Could it be that she is going to Miss Ten to fail?
The thought passed by, she was secretly surprised, thinking of what Humber had said to Fifth Mother just now, she felt that she had guessed right.
After hesitating for a moment, Bin Ju followed.
As soon as she reached a few steps, she heard Amber’s voice "...I made twelve pairs of socks."
Then there was Bai Zhiqiang's entertaining entertainment. "When Miss Eleven was long, unlike our lady, she did it every year, and she couldn't put her hands in a few boxes."
"Who can't wear clothes without clothes!" Amber smiled. "It's just adding a few new pictures!"
"Yeah!" Baizhi's voice was already somewhat reluctant, "It's just that our lady has a bad temper and makes clothes. Why not buy a few books to make her happy!"
"In that case, Miss Ten didn't make clothes this time?" Amber's voice was a little excited.
Hearing this, Bin Ju was furious and called Amber downstairs, "Miss is waiting for you to reply!"
Kohaku said no more, and went downstairs with a smile.
Bin Ju apologized to Hyakuchi with a look of shame, "She is in the house of the old lady..."
Before she finished speaking, Baizhi had already shook her hand, "Sister, don't say anything. I know it in my heart."
"Perhaps there are many things on the needle and thread, and you have to do it at different times." She couldn't help but comfort Baizhi. "The needle threader will come and tailor the body for Miss Ten in two days."
Baizhi smiled bitterly. "The ladies in the mansion are all custom-made clothes. I'm afraid they won't make it for Miss Ten? It's just that Miss Ten is a big one, but Miss Eleven is going to the front... It’s hard at first, but I’m afraid that life will be even harder in the future."
