The Devious First-Daughter

"Girl, I heard that the eldest son-in-law is here to see the eldest son. After seeing it, he went to see the eldest lady. I don't know when he came here." Lan Ning saw Ning Xueyan coming out, and went forward to report.

She just waited at the gate of the courtyard and didn't go in. Every time she came here, she would think of her dead girl and feel sad. Because of this, she often stopped at the gate of the courtyard, but she could still see it clearly.

So she saw Xia Yuhang standing there, and saw Xia Yuhang calling her girl to stop her. Just like Ning Xueyan, Lan Ning also hated seeing Xia Yuhang. Miss Ning Ziying used to like him so much, but now she How much he loathes him, such a man actually abandons the gentle girl Ning Ziying, but marries the eldest girl of the Hou family. Everyone understands the meaning of this.

Now that he took the lead and got what he wanted, why should he act affectionately now? Lan Ning was particularly worried that Ning Xueyan would be deceived, so Er walked a few steps to meet her.

"How is the eldest son's injury?" Ning Xueyan restrained the coldness in her eyes, walked out, and asked, without any intention of looking back.

Lan Ning saw that Ning Xueyan's attitude was natural, and she didn't have the slightest affection in her gestures, so she felt relieved, "I heard that the eldest son was kicked seriously by the Hou Ye, and yesterday he was injured because of the eldest lady's matter." Madam Tai begged for mercy, then passed out and was seriously injured."

When Ning Xueyan and Ning Qingshan went to Xiangfu Garden yesterday to intercede, Ning Huaiyuan passed out and was carried back to the yard, so they didn't see it at that time.

It seems that what happened yesterday made Ning Huaiyuan even more hurt.

When I arrived at Mingshuang Courtyard, I saw Qingyu waiting at the door, and Ning Xueyan brought Lan Ning back for a walk, and said with a smile: "Miss, it just so happens that the needlework workshop sent you this spring's regular clothes Come and take a look, girl, is there anything unsatisfactory?"

The Mansion of the Huguohou has established a rule that a prostitute like Ning Xueyan will make clothes at four o'clock every year. This year is now considered to be the official spring. Before, it is not allowed to wear thick clothes. The people in the needlework workshop in the mansion have replaced Ning Xueyan had measured it a few times, and it was just right to wear thin spring clothes at this time.

In the room, a capable middle-aged woman was waiting there with a few maids. When she saw Ning Xueyan coming, she hurriedly greeted her with a smile on her face. After saluting Ning Xueyan, she said: "Fifth Miss, these are some sets of clothes made for you. Fifth Miss, see if there is anything unsatisfactory that needs to be changed, and tell the maidservant, and the maidservant will take it back for a while and let someone change it."

In the hands of the maidservants slipping behind her, there were thick stacks of clothes full of flowers, which were the thinnest and most beautiful material nowadays.

The maid standing at the front showed the clothes she was holding in front of Ning Xueyan respectfully.

Ning Xueyan flipped through the pages and frowned slightly. These sets of clothes are beautiful, but most of them are too gorgeous, not her favorite style at all. Whether it is the material of the embroidery thread or the embroidery thread used, they are all too gorgeous , but it looks quite like the grid that Ning Yuling likes.

"The fifth girl doesn't like it very much. These colors were chosen by Mrs. Tai. Mrs. Tai said that young girls will look old-fashioned if they wear too plain clothes, so they specially asked the servants to choose these colors for the girls. , if the fifth girl really doesn't like it, the servants will choose plain and clean clothes for the fifth girl to make a second set, but according to the usual practice, the girl has to pay for this part of the clothes."

The middle-aged woman laughed.

This is indeed the rule of the Hou Mansion. Every season, the mansion makes a few sets of clothes for them. If there are more than one set of clothes, you can only pay for them yourself. Originally, these few sets of clothes would be chosen by the girls themselves, but because of Ning Xueyan and Ning Qingfan were going to enter the palace for draft, but Ning Yuling hadn't returned to Beijing yet, so Madam Tai decided for them. The clothes of these girls were chosen by Madam Tai.

Because it was chosen by Mrs. Tai, even if Ning Xueyan was dissatisfied, she couldn't say anything more. Naturally, the clothes had to be taken over.

"Put it somewhere!" Ning Xueyan nodded, no matter if it looks good or not, if she likes it or not, since it was chosen by Mrs. Tai, she cannot refuse.

"Yes, come, put your clothes there." The middle-aged woman squinted her eyes, nodded, and said to the maid who followed her.

The maid stepped forward and put the clothes in her hand on the table in the room. Because there were a lot of clothes, she didn't put them away when she put them away. Some of the clothes slipped and fell down, revealing a plain dress.

"Girl, this one looks good, and it's similar to the girl's favorite style." Qingyu's eyes lit up when she saw it, and she stretched out her hand to pick up the dress.

The smoky-colored clothes, with some milky white gauze in the light, light-colored butterflies, embroidered with light silver threads, are not very eye-catching, but very beautiful. The light color is the base, it is Ning Xue Yan's favorite color, it can be said that among this pile of clothes, if the one that suits Ning Xueyan's heart the most, it might be this one.

"It's really beautiful." Ning Xueyan stretched out her hand to touch this set of clothes. The material is neither thin nor thick, and it is exactly the clothes she wants to wear now. Last year, she was still in Mingshuang Courtyard, and she had a lot of clothes. They were all sewed for her by the Ming family before, and they were not considered very good clothes. They were fine to wear at home, but they were too crude to wear out.

What's more, during this period of time, Ning Xueyan has grown taller, and her figure has grown a little, and she has begun to grow up. Many clothes can no longer be worn, and a few sets of clothes that can be worn have to be made.

Just like the clothes that I went to Princess Xianyun's mansion yesterday, they were specially ordered by Mrs. Tai to be worn by her in the palace draft. Compared with Ning Xueyan, these clothes are still too cumbersome and not suitable for daily social activities .

All in all, no matter in terms of the material or the embroidery on the side, this dress can be regarded as a generous, decent, and beautiful dress, and the most important thing is that Ning Xueyan happens to like this style of.

"Girl, this set of clothes is really good. Originally, there was no such material in it. Later, I don't know which master brought it. The servant girl thought that the fifth girl is usually clean, so she might like this kind of clothes, so I gave it to the fifth girl." The girl made a set of clothes, and she was worried about whether the fifth girl would like it or not."

The middle-aged woman is smart, she knew there was something going on when she saw Ning Xueyan's appearance, she flattered and explained at that time that the current fifth girl is no better than the original fifth girl, all the servants in this mansion are shrewd, the eldest lady Now that the trouble is like this, the second girl is useless, only the third and fifth girls can be used.

Although the fifth girl lost the election, but seeing the whole body of the fifth girl and her beautiful appearance, it doesn't look like she is worthless, don't look at those who are just servants, they are more shrewd than the master of the house Shrewd, of course he knows who to please and who not to please at this time.

"Thank you, this dress is exactly what I like." Ning Xueyan took the dress from Qingyu's hand, touched it a little, with a faint smile on her lips, and turned to the clothes held by another maid. The clothes are similar to Ning Xueyan's clothes, except for one or two, which are particularly gorgeous and gorgeous.

He raised his eyes and asked casually: "These clothes, but didn't the second sister go there?"

Compared with my own style, these sets of clothes obviously have the taste of Ning Yuling in them. Although they were also chosen by Mrs. Tai, compared to her ignorant granddaughter, Mrs. Tai chose them for Ning Yuling. It is obviously more in line with her taste, and she is indeed the most desirable granddaughter.

It's just that the current Ning Yuling is not the same Ning Yuling as before. Such fancy clothes may not be able to be worn out. Her fingers unconsciously touched one of the slightly lighter clothes, and a corner edge was drawn out, which means He unknowingly drew out a sleeve, looked at it, and there was a smile on his lips.

"Yes, because the fifth girl is the farthest here, I specially sent the fifth girl here first, and then walked back and sent it there after a while. There are second girl, third girl, and fourth girl here. It just so happens that this is the way Going back, you don't have to go through too many roads." The middle-aged woman laughed.

Along the way, send the distant ones first, and then drop by the way back to send the near ones, it seems that it does make sense.

In the past, they were sent to others first, and then they were sent to themselves "on the way".

Reaching out to pat Ning Yuling's clothes, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she said casually: "Then thank you for this mother, Qingyu, reward this mother!"

"Thank you, Fifth Miss." Unexpectedly, not only did she please Fifth Miss, but she was also rewarded by Fifth Miss. The middle-aged woman was overjoyed, thanked Ning Xueyan with a smile, turned around and followed behind Qingyu, taking her maids with her walked out.

"Girl, these clothes came at just the right time. These clothes can be worn on weekdays. It really relieves the girl's urgent need. It's just that there are too few sets of clothes. Girls don't like these sets of clothes." Lan Ning turned over Looking through the clothes on the table, I found that there is really only one set of such plain clothes.

"Lan Ning, the materials for the clothes in the sewing workshop are all selected first, what will happen if there is an extra material?" Ning Xueyan laughed softly, her eyes fell on the plain and beautiful clothes, and the bottom of her eyes lit up. A touch of coldness, in her last life, she was an outsider, but in this life, she has been in Mingshuangyuan, so she really doesn't know such trivial things.

"Generally, it is impossible to produce extra material. Every girl has a fixed number of clothes. How many sets are made in a season is determined. If you make more, the sewing workshop will be punished. The material of the girl's clothes It wasn't chosen by Mrs. Tai before, but the total number of clothes made will not change, that means the original material has been replaced by someone."

After understanding the meaning of Ning Xueyan's words, Lan Ning's face changed slightly, and he immediately figured out why he didn't send the second girl who was the most convenient and the closest to the girl first. If you make a mistake, you will feel guilty if you replace the original material with another piece of material. The people in the sewing workshop are so puzzled, it's not just because the fifth girl's status is different now.

It's clearly because of something inside, I feel guilty!

In the matter of the clothes, there is indeed something tricky!
