After resting for three to five days, Wen Xi felt that she could "recover" from her illness. All the flowers and plants in her yard had been "trimmed" and sent to the space for cutting and propagation.
The third wife, Shu Mulu, is an extremely cheerful Manchu aunt. She gave birth to the three brothers in the third bedroom. She seems to be very affectionate and is good at handling concubines and aunts. Even the old lady likes her very much. Shu Shu
The Jueluo family was far behind. The original relationship between Galo and this aunt was very close. The Shumulu family gave birth to a daughter in the early years, but unfortunately she died early, so she always treated Galo as half a daughter.
"It just so happened that the wine was brewing better this year, but aunt, please don't tell outsiders. We only brewed a small amount, so I can only taste it for my family." Wen Ru said, there are only four or five fruit wines stored in the space.
One hundred catties, I specifically say it's a small amount. Things are more valuable when they are rare, so giving them away will give them more weight.
Shu Mulu is two or three years younger than Shu Shujue Luo, but he knows how to dress up, and he always dresses in bright red and purple for the festival. The cloud satin clothing is embroidered with large blooming purple peony flowers, and his thick black hair is combed with a one-word prefix.
, the peacock-dotted emerald pearl tassels on her hair swayed slightly with her laughter, a few silk flowers with strands of gold thread were delicate and elegant, and the filigree gold pavilion earrings on her ears swayed heavily. She carried them with her hands.
A pair of white jade twisted silk bracelets made her white wrists look like snow. She flicked the silk handkerchief embroidered with Yao Huang Peony in her hands and stuck it to her knees. "It goes without saying that such a good thing should be well hidden, but your aunt
I am lazy and greedy, but I happened to meet the person in our family who loves wine. Two of the three jars of wine were robbed, leaving only one jar of cider. I couldn’t help but drink half of it as soon as I opened it!
He is a thick-skinned person, so I came to beg you!"
Mr. Shumulus spoke straightforwardly, but people couldn't help but feel a little fond of him. Originally, Galo and this aunt had always been close to each other, so Mr. Shumulus became even more open-minded. He smiled warmly and said: "I don't have much left.
When others come to ask for it, I will probably not give it to them, but when my aunt comes, I have to make two jars evenly!" Then he raised his voice and said: "Song'er, go get a jar of wine and two jars of pear wine and give them to Xu.
Auntie will take her away in a moment!" Auntie Xu is the most capable old man around Shu Mululu.
Then he smiled and said to Shu Mulu: "But those glazed jars are just a few, and they have been used up long ago. These are all put in ordinary jars."
Shu Mululu groaned and said, "Why didn't you tell me when the colored glaze jars were used up? The shop where I was married had a colored glaze factory! Just go and get as many jars as you want!" In this era, colored glaze was expensive, second only to jade.
, high-quality colored glaze is even more valuable than jade.
Wen Xi pursed her lips and said with a smile: "What Auntie knows more is how many jars of bars do I have?"
Mrs. Shumulus waved her handkerchief sheepishly, "You naughty girl!" But she came closer and asked, "Tell your aunt how much of this wine you still have in your hand."
Wen Xi looked at the shining golden look in Mrs. Shu Mulu's eyes and almost forgot that this aunt was also very good at doing business. Not only was the dowry shop flourishing, but the newly opened winery and satin shop were also quite famous. The second bedroom
Most of the expenses depended on this. Wen Xi knew that Mr. Shu Mulu had the idea of doing business, so she said: "I only have one or two hundred kilograms left. How can I use it to start a business?"
"How come it's not enough?!" Mrs. Shu Mululu almost jumped up in surprise, "If you have this intention, I will let the Liulichang workers work day and night to make a batch of small colored glaze jars of one kilogram. Each jar will cost you a thousand taels of silver at least!"
Wen Xi couldn't help being surprised after hearing this. One thousand taels was considered a huge sum of money, and it would be no less than one hundred thousand yuan in future generations!
Seeing Wen Xi's surprised look, Shu Mululu couldn't help but smile proudly, "The draft is coming soon, you have to save some body for yourself!"
Wen Xi couldn't help but feel that money was absolutely necessary to survive in the palace. Although the Niu Hulu family would definitely give her a large dowry in the future, the whole family had already spent all their money preparing the dowry for Empress Xiaozhao.
The money he gave me was definitely not as good as the money I gave to my sister Garudai back then.
Finally, we settled on a 30-70 split with Shu Mulu, with Wen Xi accounting for 70%.
In the afternoon, the nuns next to the old lady Guarjia came to ask Wenxi to select materials and tailor the clothes. Niu Hulu Mansion had a special embroiderer and tailor, and the old lady called them all at once.
When Wen Xi went there, it was a busy time, "Hey! Sangege is here——"
Wenxi greeted Guarjia and said, "Ma Ma, it's so lively here!"
Guarjia held her warm hand very kindly and said, "I've been waiting for you to come! Look, these are all good materials from the south that I just bought! Look at the shiny satin, the color is like the morning glow that just came out. Make a dress
The clothes are the best! And this soft satin, which is light, silky and soft, is the best for a close-fitting little coat!"
Wen Xi couldn't help but look dizzy. These pure natural silks, purely handmade, would definitely be extremely valuable in future generations. Then she responded: "Ma Ma naturally values the best things."
Guarjia smiled brightly and said: "Guarjia and Niu Hulu are the only legitimate descendants like you. Several concubine girls in the third bedroom can't even get on the stage, let alone the fourth.
! Of course, any good things I have will be given to you first!" Turning around, he told Aunt Fu, "Go and fetch the piece of gold-woven satin from my warehouse!"
How precious is the woven gold satin? It is made of every inch of gold thread, and the clothes made of it shine golden in the sun and are particularly eye-catching! Wen Xi hurriedly retreated and said: "Ma Ma, I remember this was when you celebrated your fiftieth birthday, Empress Xiaozhao
It’s given to you, but you’ve been reluctant to use it!”
"How can I, an old woman, use such good things? Beautiful clothes should be worn on beautiful people!" Guarjia looked at Wen Xi's more and more graceful appearance, and she liked it very much.
Wen Xi was also somewhat moved. Although the old lady was considering the interests of the family, she was still willing to treat her better as long as it did not violate her interests. Although this family affection was not pure, Wen Xi still secretly
Keep it in mind.
Not a single piece of silk material in the whole house is pure. The legitimate daughter of the Guarjia family and the Niu Hulu family, she can't keep a low profile. Wen Xi knows that the vision of people in the future will definitely be different from the vision of people in this era.
There is a big difference, so it is the right choice to let the old lady decide the color and pattern of the clothes without expressing any opinions. In fact, Wen Xi does not like bright red and purple, but her clothes are a bit plain.
Today she is wearing a blue and blue Ruyi pattern flag dress. The color is very good, like a puddle of sea water. The color is bright and fresh and pleasant. Her wardrobe is also full of bright red and purple clothes, embroidered with peonies, peacocks, peonies and roses.
This kind of flower color may be a good omen for good fortune and good luck, like spring swallows in the apricot forest. Originally, this skin is very good, with natural willow eyebrows, big almond eyes, and delicate skin. It is just because I am young and my face is an oval face, which is beautiful.
She is a bit cute and cute, and she is much better than her previous life! She wears bright and bright clothes, and she also has the demeanor of a lady.
Aunt Fu was taking Wen Xi's measurements, and said to the old lady with a smile: "San Ge Ge has grown a few inches taller, and is already six feet three inches. The taller you are, the better you can make clothes that fit you."
The figure is slender and graceful! Our princess’s all-over style is one of the best in the whole capital! There are many show girls to be selected this year, but only a few can compare with our princess.”
Aunt Rui also followed the exchange and praised: "I heard that Er Gege of Dong E's co-leader's family is extremely beautiful. She suffered from an illness three years ago. I heard that she is now weak and weak. Zhengbai Banner is the leader of the Hezhe family.
Although Princess Tong is beautiful, it is a pity that she is not the first wife; there is also a girl from the Shumulu family, although she is beautiful, she is very shrewish and spoiled by her parents! Even Concubine Tong in the palace is a talented woman, but her appearance is not as good as hers.
Our family is pretty!”
Wen Xi frowned and said displeasedly: "Aunt Rui shouldn't say this. If it reaches other people's ears, they will think that I am arrogant!"
Aunt Rui suddenly froze, feeling that she had made a mistake, "I know my mistake, what Ge Ge said..."
The old lady Guarjia was also dissatisfied and said: "You should keep your mouth shut from now on. The draft is about to happen. We must not make the slightest mistake!"
The servants in the room hurriedly responded and said yes, but remained silent. This shows the majesty of the old lady, and she said the right thing!
