At this time, I heard a commotion of people outside. Looking from a distance, I saw four sedans walking towards this direction.
It is rare for a sedan chair to come to the village, so it proves that a high official is here, who is it? My husband has not taken the exam yet, so he will not be the one who released the results.
The sedan was getting closer and closer, and Lamei noticed the trick.
"They are the four wives of the county magistrate. Last time I went to deliver clothes, I happened to see them coming back in sedans. They were exactly the same." Lamei said.
There is business coming to the door, no wonder there are magpies chirping in front of the door when I get up early in the morning.
The four-carriage sedan slowly and leisurely arrived at Haitang Dyeing House and stopped, with the bearers pressing down on the sedan chair.
The four ladies walked down slowly and elegantly with the support of the maids. They looked around, as if they were admiring the beautiful scenery of the mountain village. Finally, their eyes stopped on the colorful cloths drying on bamboo poles in the courtyard of the dye house.
"Welcome the four ladies to Haitang Dyeing House." Bai Haitang put down what she was doing and walked over to greet the four rich men. Lamei followed Bai Haitang with her head lowered.
When Tian Ertong and Brother Haitang saw the women's family members coming, they naturally avoided giving in. Some women couldn't see it, especially the women's family members of the county magistrate. They knew it very well.
The county magistrate is not only the chief official of Qiaotou Village, but more than a dozen nearby villages form a county. The largest parent official in this county is the county magistrate.
Today, the four wives of the county magistrate came to Qiaotou Village in person, and it is no exaggeration to say that the plum blossoms are shining brightly.
"Three sisters, we have indeed found them." The fourth lady took a step forward. The most informal one among them was the fourth lady.
The three ladies then also visited the dyeing house compound.
"It's really interesting." The second lady was also attracted by the dazzling colors.
Only the eldest lady is still dignified and maintains her proper demeanor, even though the corner of her eye has betrayed her.
"Miss Haitang, we saw that the ladies from the neighboring county were also wearing girl's red, as well as turmeric and crimson. Your business is getting bigger and bigger, and your sales are getting farther and farther." The third lady said.
"Back to the Third Madam, I sold a few pieces of cloth at the market a while ago. Maybe people from the next county bought them." Bai Haitang answered calmly.
"I remember you said when you came to our house that we should try out any new colors first." Only then did the third lady come to the point.
"It's natural. I have just dyed three new colors recently. I was planning to inform the ladies. Unexpectedly, the ladies had a good understanding and came to my humble home. It seems that the ladies and my dyeing are really destined."
After Bai Haitang finished speaking, he asked Wintersweet to take out freshly dried cloths in four colors: spring grass green, oil green, and sky blue, and show them to the ladies.
"Oh..." The fourth lady spoke without restraint. The eye-catching spring green grass suddenly occupied her eyes, and she could no longer take it out.
"What a beautiful color, she is such a skillful girl." The second lady prefers dark green, which is suitable for her age. She stroked it gently and couldn't put it down.
"Except for the person who dyed it, you are the first to see these three colors." Bai Haitang emphasized.
These words made the ladies feel happy.
"No, no, there are only three colors among the four of us. How do you want us to distinguish them?" The fourth lady began to make things difficult for Bai Haitang again.
"It's very simple. Buy five sets of each color. Just ask the tailor to follow different styles when cutting. This is not a clash of clothes, but can bring out the dignity of the first lady, the elegance of the second lady, the exquisiteness of the third lady, and the exquisiteness of the fourth lady.
