Dong Nuan had never done this kind of thing before, and she was actually not sure about it.
So it’s hard to say it directly, but it’s done secretly...
Even though she is alone, she is still a married woman.
Hanjiang Tower knows what is going on and will definitely be willing to support it.
But, others don't know what's going on. When the time comes, they will definitely look at her and Hanjianglou in a very complicated way.
Dong Nuan doesn't care about reputation, but she still has family and friends, and Hanjiang Tower will have to take exams in the future, so she needs to take care of her face.
So, what to do?
You have to discuss this with Hanjiang Tower, but the college examinations in Beijing will start on the ninth day of June. There will be one test each for the principal and deputy positions. Only after you pass the main test can you take the deputy position. If you pass both, you will be considered to have passed the test.
, obtain the title of scholar, and then take part in the provincial examination in early August.
The exam is less than a month away, and Dong Nuan doesn't want to disturb Hanjiang Tower with various chores.
Mr. Wu was able to live to be almost thirty years old in his previous life, which proves that he will not die in the short term.
Then don't rush, just wait and see.
In the warm winter here, Hanjiang Tower is more important.
That Mr. Wu, whom he has never met, only loves Wujiwu because of Hanjianglou's relationship.
These things only ran through his mind for a while. After reacting, Dong Nuan nodded and said, "Go and prepare clothes and gifts."
Hsinchu didn't know the exchanges between the two governments, so he was actually a little constrained in preparing gifts.
Fortunately, after Dong Nuan thought about it, he gave a reference: "For my birthday last year, Wu Mansion sent me a set of coral head noodles. It was quite generous. We can't be stingy in returning gifts. I just got a set last month.
When you come out with the glazed tea set, take this with you, as well as the tapestry fan made at the beginning of the month."
When I heard that the tapestry fans had to be worn in winter, Hsinchu took a deep breath of cool air.
You must know that Kesi craftsmanship is very niche nowadays, and there are very few folk craftsmen. Most of them are recruited into the palace and work in the clothing bureau.
Moreover, there are not many people in the clothing bureau who know this skill.
Among the concubines, only high-ranking concubines can use Kesi handicrafts, while low-ranking concubines, those who look hot and want to use them, are not up to standard.
This thing is different from embroidery and textiles. It cannot be replaced by machines and can only be made by pure handicrafts.
Dong Nuan also learned from the little fox, and her skills were pretty good.
I had never thought about making it before, because the production cycle of this thing is too long, and there are few finished products. Although it seems precious, it is too slow and difficult to learn. It does not mean that you can learn it in March or May.
Without two or three years of basic skills, it is actually very difficult to produce a particularly exquisite finished product.
Therefore, Dongnuan had never thought of this before.
The round fan in my hand now was made by myself while living in Zhuangzi was boring.
Once you start this thing, it's hard to just throw it away halfway through.
Therefore, the winter warmers were completed one after another and are now thrown into the warehouse.
On the day I saw the finished product in Hsinchu, I was holding this thing and walking on tiptoes.
Now that this is being given to the Wu Mansion, Hsinchu is really surprised.
However, this was the master's decision and she just had to do it, so she responded honestly and went to prepare.
The reason why Dong Nuan wanted to give him a big gift was because on his birthday, the Wu Mansion was really generous. The number of corals nowadays is small, so it is particularly precious, but they just gave me a set of hair and noodles.
Dong Nuan touched it carefully and found that it was real coral, not something to fool people.
The other party is generous, and he was kind to Hanjianglou in his previous life. Dong Nuan must not return the favor.
The banquet was three days later, so Dong Nuan made some preparations, and when the time came, he took a carriage there.
The day of the banquet was a good day, the sun was shining brightly, and the air was exceptionally fresh.
The Cao Mansion also sent a message last night, asking when Dong Nuan would be coming over, and they were in a hurry to come together.
Dong Nuan handed over an accurate time. She and Cao's carriage actually collided at the same time and exited the main road of Qingzhufang.
Then, everyone lined up in front and back and walked directly to Wu Mansion.
Many people came to the Cao Mansion today. Mrs. Cao brought the eldest wife Qiao, the second young wife Zheng, and the fourth girl Cao Xinyu.
Because the third and fifth girls were concubines, Mrs. Cao did not take them with her.
But even if they were brought, the third girl probably wouldn't have time to come out.
Because the wedding date of the third girl, Cao Xinyue, is set for June 28th, and she will get married in more than a month. She is currently busy embroidering the wedding dress at the house.
Wu Mansion is a little further away from Qingzhufang. After riding a carriage for a long time, we finally arrived.
Dong Nuan got off the carriage first and went to greet Mrs. Cao.
"The color of the clothes Nuan Nuan is wearing today is very good, and it makes your little face look even more charming." Mrs. Cao couldn't help but be happy when she saw what Dong Nuan was wearing today.
The little girl has red lips, white teeth, and fair skin. She looks good in anything she wears.
But today’s Begonia Red always looks particularly good-looking.
"Auntie is always making fun of me." The other party praised, and Dong Nuan joked back.
Everyone entered the house chatting and laughing. When they entered the house, they could just register the gifts directly with the housekeeper. Hsinchu took care of them, so she didn't need to worry too much.
Because Hsinchu now has many things to be responsible for, at the beginning of winter and the beginning of the year, a maid named Qingzhu was asked to serve beside him.
Now that the other party is following him, the little girl is young and has good eyesight. Dong Nuan, who is waiting in front and behind, feels that she can be a useless fish if she lies flat.
The general's mansion is very large, but the decoration is not luxurious.
Because today is a banquet for noble ladies, there are no male guests. Apart from the servants, there are no other male guests in the house.
Mr. Wu doesn't like to go out on weekdays, and he is even less likely to appear at this time.
The second young master and the third young master have already gone to the border and entered the military camp. After all, they are the generals' tigers, and their talents have been transcendent since they were young.
Maybe it's because of this contrast that the eldest son seems more depressed and frustrated.
After all, they are both sons of the General's Mansion, so the two younger brothers can go to the border and wield swords on the battlefield.
But he has to live with a wheelchair all day long, which makes him very uncomfortable just thinking about it.
There are not many female relatives in the Wu family, and the general's wife is a cheerful and generous lady. Dong Nuan has met her before.
In addition to her, there is the other party's daughter and General Wu's only daughter, Miss Wu, Wu Ruoruo.
This Miss Wu has been on the battlefield before and just came back at the beginning of the year. According to rumors, because she was too tanned, the general's wife was afraid that she would be embarrassed when she went out, so she stayed in the mansion for several months to help her.
She nourishes the skin.
Therefore, Dong Nuan never saw anyone.
Speaking of which, I'm quite curious, as the other person almost became Hanjianglou's wife in his previous life.
