Slowly Deep Love
Chapter 49 Choosing Cloth
The next morning, Chengyunyuan sent someone to Qingxiang Pavilion to pass on a message, asking Yue Weiwei to go there to have her measurements taken and the fabrics chosen.
When she walked into the front hall, she saw Lin Yuan had already arrived. She was walking around in front of the fabric, exclaiming in admiration from time to time.
Yue Weiwei's anger rose all of a sudden. She walked forward and said bluntly, "Lin Yuan, you are so cruel and ruthless. How can you be qualified to worship Buddha?"
"Madam Ming, do you like any of these fabrics?" The speaker was a maid named Suining who had been delivered to Qingxiang Pavilion yesterday.
Yue Weiwei suddenly calmed down. These four maids cannot be underestimated, nor can they be neglected.
She looked at the cloth in front of her, four whole rows, the colors were not bright, but the color was excellent. Yue Weiwei used the word "simple and elegant" to describe them.
"These cloths have their own merits. It's dizzying. I don't know how to choose?" she said to Sui Ning.
"Madam Ming, these are all high-quality fabrics shipped from Jiangnan to the imperial capital. Any one of them is suitable for you. I think this piece of cloth suits your skin tone very well." She said, pointing to a piece of fabric with a light green background and white floral embroidery on it.
"This one is good, let's choose it!" Yue Weiwei also liked it.
"Sister Ming, you've been chosen before our mother has even arrived. That's really disrespectful!" As soon as Lin Yuan spoke, Yue Weiwei was about to get angry again.
"Let me choose a few more that I like first, and my mother will make the final decision." Yue Weiwei forced herself to suppress her anger. As she spoke, she felt dizzy, perhaps because of the anger that could not be released.
She held onto the corner of the table to stand steady. Lin Yuan looked at her and pretended to be worried, saying, "Sister Ming, I heard that several people in Qingxiang Pavilion fell ill. You must be so worried and worried that you took care of them yourself. That's why you are so tired that you can't even stand steadily!"
"Qingxiang Pavilion has a lot of staff, so Madam Ming doesn't need to worry about such trivial matters." Suning said.
Lin Yuan looked at her, looking very unfamiliar, and said arrogantly: "Is it your turn to speak here?"
"When did I say Suining can't speak?" Yue Weiwei was a little breathless.
"You...how can she be qualified to speak here?"
"You are a dog who relies on the power of others! When you are old and ugly, just hide in Zhuyu Pavilion!"
This sentence was very hurtful, and Lin Yuan's face turned pale.
Seeing Lin Yuan's ferocious face, her mood improved and she was no longer dizzy. This woman understood that beauty fades with age and she had some self-awareness.
"Su Ning, which other piece of cloth do you think is good-looking?" Yue Weiwei really ignored Lin Yuan at that moment and only talked to her own people.
She pointed to a piece of bright yellow fabric and said, "Suning thinks this one is good, too."
The cloth was embroidered with peonies, the flowers were bright red and eye-catching.
Yue nodded slightly and praised: "Suning's vision is unique. This piece of cloth makes people look dignified and generous. It looks good!"
"Which piece of cloth is so to Minglu's liking?" It was the wife of the Grand Marshal.
Yue Weiwei hurried to greet him, and Lin Yuan followed behind with a gloomy face and head lowered.
"Mother, Suning just recommended two fabrics to me, both of which suit my taste."
The Taiwei's wife smiled broadly and asked, "Is Minglu happy with these four maids?"
"Mother is very selective in choosing people, so how can it be bad? The breakfast Hua An made this morning was so delicious!"
"Can Hua An's cooking skills compare to those of Li Ma and Qian Yue?"
Yue Weiwei found this question difficult. If she said "comparable", she would feel full of guilt. If she said "not comparable", it would be like slapping the face of the wife of the Grand Marshal.
She thought for a moment and decided to enumerate the advantages of the three people, and then she said, "Madame Li is best at stewing pigeons. She is particularly particular about diet and health preservation. Not only does she want to eat well, but she also wants to eat skillfully. Qian Yue is an expert at making dim sum. Some time ago, the big peach tree in the backyard of Qingxiang Pavilion was so full of flowers that its branches were bent. She can use those peach blossoms to make delicious peach blossom pastries. This morning I tasted Hua An's craftsmanship. It was really delicious and fragrant!"
These words made the Taiwei's wife very amused.
The more Lin Yuan listened, the more nervous she became. This Sui Ning was not an ordinary person, but he had just offended her. Instead, Yue Weiwei acted like a protective child and moved Sui Ning. She really wanted to slap herself!
Mrs. Taiwei took Yue Weiwei's hand, walked to the front of the cloth, and asked, "Which two pieces of cloth did you like just now?"
Yue Weiwei quickly pointed it out to her.
The wife of the Grand Commandant nodded and said with a smile, "Suning has a good eye. I will make you clothes with these two pieces of cloth. You can take them to Qingyuan Temple to wear and change. What other piece of cloth do you like?"
Yue Weiwei wondered, if she asked for another piece, would the Grand Marshal's wife think she was greedy?
In fact, she fell in love with a piece of light blue material as soon as she entered the door. Now was an opportunity, but she hesitated.
She walked slowly among the fabrics, and finally stopped in front of the blue cloth, looking at it carefully.
The commander's wife came over, reached out and touched the cloth, and said with a smile, "Minglu has good taste. This cloth is different from the others."
"Mother, does this piece of cloth have a story?"
"This piece of cloth comes from the capital of Jiangnan. It is the first special supplier to the emperor."
Such a big name!
"No wonder my mother has a special regard for this piece of cloth."
"This piece of cloth is for you too, Minglu. You will look gorgeous in it!"
Yue Weiwei was very happy in her heart, but she had to keep it to herself and immediately declined: "Mother, such precious material should be left to you. You should use it to make a new dress, which is the real honor."
"This piece of material is made for you. It will make you look more graceful when worn by a young woman."
"Mother is so kind to Minglu. Minglu can't refuse her kindness, so I'll accept it."
The Taiwei's wife patted her hands, and the two of them walked to the table and sat down. At this time, they saw Li Hengtu and Li Hengan coming together.
Lin Yuan couldn't stand any longer. She immediately ran to Li Hengan, looking very aggrieved, and muttered softly, "Husband, I haven't made my choice yet!"
Only then did Yue Weiwei notice that the pair of earrings were still hanging on Lin Yuan's ears, and she began to think about how to get them back.
But she noticed that the wife of the Grand Marshal's face darkened. She felt something was not good. Not only was she worried about this perfect couple, she was also worried about herself.
Li Hengan likes to accuse Ming Lu of all kinds of inexplicable crimes!
Everything that was detrimental to Lin Yuan was done by Minglu!
Yue Weiwei turned her face away coldly.
Li Hengtu greeted his wife first, took a look at the couple, coughed lightly, and said, "Heng'an, why did you forget to greet your wife?"
Lin Yuan let go of his hand with a bit of resentment, made way, and hid to the side.
This woman is so good at throwing tantrums and totally disregards the man's face. Li Hengtu was thinking about this in his heart, but was attracted by Lin Yuan's ears.
The earring was too familiar, and she was startled. She stared at Yue Weiwei with shining eyes.
