Chapter 73 Lectures
"Then I'll get the ruler and tailor it for them first..." Thinking that Amu was not at home and was in the school, Vanilla changed her words, "I'll tailor it for A Meng first. He is small in size and does not embroider the clothes. I can make a piece of clothes for him in one afternoon, so I'll make it for him first."
Vanilla people are diligent and never lazy in their work. They do whatever they say, put down the fabric, hold the ruler, and run out.
After a while, I came back with a ruler and a piece of blue fabric.
The master and servant sat in the room to make clothes, and it was quiet.
In the afternoon, Zhang Huiyan came.
"A Feng, on April 16th, Baiyun Temple is going to hold a lecture. Do you go and listen?" Zhang Huiyan came to invite Xi Feng to go to Baiyun Temple to listen to the lecture.
"Go, I'll go with my grandmother." Xi Feng naturally won't miss it if she likes to attend temple fairs.
Zhang Huiyan said, "Then have you sent someone to Baiyun Temple to book a room in advance? I heard that at this year's lecture, a famous master from Putuo Mountain was invited to preach. There are many people going to Hangzhou City. Even a few counties around Hangzhou City will go to listen to the scriptures. If you don't book a room in advance, you will have no place to stay if you go late. At that time, you will have to go up the mountain and go down the mountain every day to stay."
"Have your family sent someone to book a room?" Xi Feng asked.
Zhang Huiyan said, "My mother just learned about this news, so she sent someone there. I don't know if she could book a room."
"Then I'll let Mom Liu go and have a look."
Xi Feng put down her work and ran to the backyard vegetable field.
At this time, Liu Ma usually works in the vegetable field.
Sure enough, Liu's mother was planting pepper seedlings in the vegetable field. Xi Feng walked over and told Liu's mother that the pepper seedlings were put down and said, "No need to delay, I'll go to Baiyun Temple now."
As for the remaining pepper seedlings, they were left to Xu Pozi and Ma Pozi to plant.
"Go to rent a carriage and you can come back before dark." Xi Feng took a small bag of scattered silver to Liu's mother and told her, "Be careful on the road."
After seeing off Liu Ma, Xi Feng returned to the house.
Zhang Huiyan was holding her two pieces of cloth in her hand, looking over and over again, and the envy in her eyes was almost sprayed out.
"A Feng, I saw this satin in a silk shop a few days ago. It costs more than fifty taels of silver to cut a piece of clothing. It's so expensive...A Feng, why are your mother willing to buy it for you?"
When the Chu family came to send the gift, they did not alarm the neighbors. Zhang Huiyan didn't know that the silk was sent by the Chu family, and that it was more than the materials for these or two clothes.
"It was a thank you gift from someone else." Xi Feng did not hide it, but did not tell Zhang Huiyan that the Chu family was the one who gave the thank you gift.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, who is rich and powerful, but you actually give such a valuable thank-you gift." Zhang Huiyan reluctantly put down the fabric, then sat aside while eating melon seeds, and chatted with Xi Feng. "The style of this fabric is very popular this year. The lady of a wealthy family wears this material. Ah Feng, you are lucky this summer, and you have two pieces at once."
The tone is a bit sour, and there is still a lot of envy.
Vanilla was very surprised, "This material is really that expensive? Just fifty taels of silver for one piece?"
