Chapter forty-eight gifts
Chapter 48: Gifts to the door
When the two sisters came, Shang Ruonan first tried it. He dyed a slightly larger piece of fabric. Then he wrapped it into a skirt and let the sisters see the effect. Shang Nianlan and Shang Wanglan both called it out. Then the three sisters began to dye it.
The three of them carefully dyed the cut fabric slowly, then hung it up, and then sewed it up tomorrow. Then they made the clothes. Look at the dyed clothes, Wanglan said:
"I bet that Miss Hu likes this, not only she likes it, but also I like it!"
Two days later, the new clothes made for Miss Hu were completed. When a new clothes were shown in front of Shu Yunniang, Shu Yunniang sighed and looked beautiful. She said that after the month of the day, she would also make a piece of flowers that she liked.
In the past two days, Shang Ruonan began to draw some slightly detailed pictures. Uncle Gen found someone, and Shang Ruonan also met him, the brother of the third lady Hongxing, named Ding Zhuang. He was over thirteen years old, but he looked like an honest person. So he asked him to learn from Master Qin. Master Qin started to ask him to learn to beat the edges and polish a rough wooden stick. Unexpectedly, his movements were done quickly.
According to Master Qin, he didn't say a word since he picked up the wooden stick and polished it seriously. It was not until the wooden stick was polished into a smooth wooden stick that he asked Master Qin if it was OK.
Master Qin said that this son could learn this skill, so he was left behind, and Xue Jian was also discussing with Master Qin step by step how to make better-looking patterns.
After the new clothes were made, Shang Wanglan gave Hu Lishu a reply, saying that she wanted to give her something. She immediately received a response and asked Shang Wanglan to go in the afternoon.
Hu Limei has always been able to talk to Shang Wanglan because the two girls are about the same age and like poetry, calligraphy, calligraphy, painting, etc. So it is common for them to invite each other to have some invitations.
That afternoon, Shang Erjie took two girls, Mo Xiang and Shu Xiang, and took them to the Hu family in the sedan chair arranged by Uncle Gen.
The Hu prefect's name was Hu Yaozu, and he was really Guangzong Yaozu. It is said that the Hu family used to be a landlord in the same place, and his family property was still a little bit, but he was only one official. Hu Yaozu was very educated since he was a child, but he got a Jinshi all the way smoothly. Although he ranked very much, he also changed the family of the landlord's family. From then on, he became an official family.
The first thing the prefect Hu was to be a county magistrate of a remote county, and he had a good official fortune. He found a silver mine that was not big or small when he was the county magistrate. This made the court so happy that he promoted him directly, so he transferred him here to become a prefect, and the emperor there naturally sent his confidants to be the county magistrate and guard the silver mine.
The place where the prefect Hu took office was his hometown, and now he completely shined his ancestors! Moreover, since he became the prefect, he did not make any mistakes and was not angry. However, he worked here for fifteen years without moving! All three children were born here.
Hu Lishu is the only daughter of the prefect Hu. She is ranked second at home and is only ten years old this year. She usually follows her brother Hu Churui and her younger brother Hu Xingrui in and out of the study and receives teaching from her father. Therefore, Miss Hu's pride comes from the arrogance of a scholar. Shang Wanglan also has this.
Shang Wanglan arrived at Hu's house because the concierge had known that Miss Shang Er was coming. Moreover, the lady's girl Hongjian had already said hello at the concierge.
The sedan chair was carried directly into the second door, and Shang Wanglan got off the carriage. Hong Jian smiled and greeted him:
"Miss 2, we are anxious. Come in with me."
Shang Wanglan chuckled:
"You ladies rarely get anxious."
"Miss 2, you don't know yet. Our lady is not anxious about anything else, but she is anxious about what you want to deliver. She just said it was a good thing, but she was looking forward to seeing what it was."
While saying that, he looked at the box that Mo Xiang was holding in his hand.
Shang Wanglan smiled and said:
"Look, you girl is anxious. Lishu is not anxious!"
Hongjian also deliberately said in surprise:
"Oh. This is all worn by looking at it!"
Several people knew that they were joking, so they walked in while talking. Shang Wanglan looked at the main house and said:
"I'd better go and salute my wife."
Hongjian smiled and said:
"No need, the lady told her when she had lunch. The lady happened to have a guest this afternoon, so she said that she would let the lady entertain you by herself. Let's go."
Under the leadership of Hongjian, I came to a small courtyard on the left side of the backyard. This courtyard was the same as the small courtyard in my own home, with a small flower table. However, Lishu planted some precious flowers and plants, but most of them did not survive.
This is also often joked by Wanglan, saying that she would better not plant flowers, because as long as the flowers passed through her hands, they would die in the end. And the girls survived the plantings.
Later, Hu Lishu had the full authority to hand over these things to another girl, Xue Zhan. In less than a year, the small yard seemed lush and green.
Although it is late autumn now, there are still a few flowers blooming here, some rare chrysanthemums blooming very lively.
"Miss, Miss Shang Er is here."
"You girl, you scream so loudly, and you told you to be calm. You always don't listen. You are so happy. I guess, is Miss Shang Er rewarding you again?"
"Ah! This cannot be hidden!"
With this laughter and scolding, Hu Lishu was welcomed! Although Hu Lishu was only ten years old, she could see that she was a beauty. Although there was one thing, her skin was a little darker than Lord Hu.
"Sister Shang Er."
"Lishu, are you okay?"
Miss Hu and Shang Wanglan greeted each other, and they asked each other at the same time. Then they smiled at each other and entered the house hand in hand.
Another big girl, Xue Zhan, hurriedly brought the tea, served it, and then went out. Mo Xiang and Shu Xiang also put down the box and went out with Xue Zhan. Of course, the girls were also friends, so they chatted in the yard and waited for the ladies to give instructions.
Because Lishu and Wanglan both like to not let the girls be present when chatting. So the two of them sat down and looked at each other and smiled, Wanglan took the initiative to say:
"I came today because I was thinking that my sister would invite my sister to come to the mansion in two days. I gave you a gift in advance. See if you like it! This is done by our sisters and a few newbies!"
As he said that, he opened the box on one side and took out the clothes. When he spread it gently, Hu Lishu's eyes were flashing with surprise and said:
Chapter completed!
