Hu and Sun also looked over.

Lu Zhenzhen finally explained, "This is all because the Third Madam feels sorry for me because I just married in. I can't compare to the wealthy families of my sisters-in-law, so she gives me some money privately. She's also worried that if I go to the Prince's Mansion, something will go wrong and I'll lose face in the Marquis' Mansion."

Hu and Sun's dowries were generous, but they didn't care much about them.

But I still feel a little envious in my heart. My fourth brother's wife is marrying into the third house. Except for the fact that the third master's father-in-law is a confused one, her husband and mother-in-law are very nice!

Zhao was so envious that she didn't even bother to look at her own clothes.

Instead, he walked up to Lu Zhenzhen and reached out to touch the purple skirt on top. It felt warm, cool and smooth to the touch. Not only that, the material seemed to be covered with a faint pearlescent sheen.

From another angle, the yellow color under the pearlescent light, deep and light, is particularly gentle and charming.

Not to mention, the duck egg blue skirt underneath, when it swayed, shone like flowing water.

Such fine material was only given to Zhao when she first married into the Marquis's Mansion. She received two similar pieces of material as a gift from the old lady.

I never saw him again.

She had never heard of this material, let alone seen it.

I don’t know what to do with it when I get it.

She had originally intended to make two coats to wear, but Mrs. Hu told her because she saw that she didn't know the value of the coat and was afraid that she would be embarrassed if she went out.

This kind of material that shines like flowing water is called Liuniansha, which means the passing of time.

This kind of yarn comes from Jiangnan and is perfect for making summer skirts.

Zhao blushed at the time, but she remembered the name very clearly.

Now looking at Lu Zhenzhen's three sets of clothes, one is made of Liunian gauze, one is made of pearl brocade, and the other one is even harder to identify, but it looks extremely valuable.

Suddenly it started to sour again.

The four sisters-in-law either received generous dowries or received subsidies from their mother-in-law.

Unfortunately, she was the daughter-in-law of a concubine's son, and apart from the small share of the marquis's mansion, she had no access to anything else.

The Crown Prince's wife, Jin, is the legitimate mother. Even if she needs to give subsidies, it will be given to Hu, the legitimate daughter-in-law. Those worthless and precious things will be given to her, the illegitimate son's daughter-in-law.

Only the old lady was generous and always gave her some good things during festivals, so she was able to go out without losing face.

Even so, Fu Zhiming's aunt was not a worry-free person. Not only had she long lost the favor of the Marquis, she also often spoke nonsense, which offended the first wife and caused them to suffer as well.

Looking at these three sets of clothes, the materials she carefully selected were put to shame.

Unable to suppress it for a moment, she opened her mouth with that familiar sour taste: "Third sister-in-law's clothes, one set of flowing gauze, one set of pearl brocade, are probably only as good as those of our sisters-in-law. I think fourth sister-in-law is going to go to the Shu Palace and show off! After all, who can be as blessed as fourth sister-in-law? Not only is the couple in harmony, but even the mother-in-law loves her! Unlike us-"

Mrs. Hu coughed, interrupting Mrs. Zhao, glared at her and signaled her to shut up.

There's nothing wrong with saying some sour words in your heart or complaining in front of your sisters-in-law.

If you don't know how to restrain yourself in front of people outside, won't you be laughed at if it gets out?

Zhao shuddered and came to her senses.

Not daring to say anything more, she just lowered her head and looked at her clothes.

Mrs. Hu then put on a reserved smile and said, "Then I'll trouble Manager Yao to wait a moment. We sisters-in-law will try it first."

It's called a try, but in fact it's just picking it up and trying it out, and checking the stitches to see if there are any problems with the embroidery.

Jinxiufang's old signboard has been carefully checked over and over again before being delivered, so there will naturally be no problems.

And the sizes are all tailor-made, so there is no problem.

Several people gestured in the inner room, but didn't find anything wrong.

When Mrs. Hu came out, a maid had already gone to the accounting office to get the silver bills and counted and settled the accounts in front of her.

Several people gave money as a reward, and Manager Yao happily took his people back.

She loved doing business with these wealthy families. As long as she could satisfy these ladies, they would not only pay the bill quickly but also be very generous with their tips.

On the other hand, the people accompanying her whispered gossip to her, "Manager Yao, is that unfamiliar, extremely beautiful lady the Fourth Madam who just recently entered the Marquisate? She doesn't look like someone from a lowly family."

"Compared to her, the third grandmother next to her seems much more petty."

Someone nearby chimed in, "What do you know? The Third Grandma married the Third Master, who was born out of wedlock. She already lacks confidence. How can she compare to the other grandmas?"

"This Third Madam used to ask for the most, but she gave the least in rewards. Last time, I happened to be making her dress, and it turned out well. She started by wanting to embroider a broken branch pattern, but when I was halfway through, she changed her mind and asked for a treasure-shaped pattern."

"I only finished half of the embroidery, then tore it all apart and re-embroidered the Baoxiang pattern. Third Madam said I was late with the delivery and docked half my wages. I have no way to complain! I can only blame myself for my bad luck!"

"No wonder you refused to take over when you asked which items belonged to Third Grandma!"

……

Several embroiderers were whispering to each other.

Manager Yao heard their words becoming increasingly outrageous and coughed, "Shut up, everyone! Do you think we can talk about these ladies from wealthy families? If anyone hears, I won't be able to save you! You've all received your reward, so just be quiet and be kind!"

The embroiderers looked at each other and dared not say anything.

Zhao didn't know that someone was talking about her behind her back.

She was stopped by Hu at that time, but she felt aggrieved. After the people from Jinxiufang left, Hu wanted to give her some advice, but it aroused Zhao's rebelliousness instead. She felt that Hu looked down on her. When she looked at Sun and Lu Zhenzhen, she felt that they were laughing at her.

He immediately stood up, without even making an excuse, and went back to his yard without caring about anything.

Mrs. Hu was so angry that she threw the tea bowl on the spot.

Seeing that Mrs. Hu was about to explode with anger, Lu Zhenzhen didn't dare to stay for long. You know, Mrs. Hu has a hot temper. When she gets angry, even a dog passing by will be kicked.

He is also very good at making indirect accusations and making veiled insinuations against Dafa.

She won't wait here to suffer the consequences.

She hurriedly asked the maid to hold her clothes and slipped away.

Only Sun was a little slow to react, and when she came to her senses, she was the only one left.

Sun was secretly resentful in her heart. It turned out that the relationship between sisters-in-law was not reliable. They had already fled before the disaster came!

Before she could even suggest leaving, Mrs. Hu exploded.

"After all these years, how come the Third Lady is still so short-sighted? How many fine materials in the Marquis' Mansion have she not seen and worn? Why does she have to keep her eyes on the Fourth Lady?"

"Why does the Third Madam love the Fourth Sister-in-law so much that she's willing to give her such fine fabric? Firstly, as the Fourth Sister-in-law just said, her family is poor, and her dowry is probably even worse than the Third Brother's. She really can't afford any decent fabric! The Third Madam is doing this to give her face, and also to give face to the Third House and the Marquis' Mansion!"

"Secondly, it's no wonder that Third Madam loves Fourth Sister-in-law! After Fourth Sister-in-law married into our family, her filial piety towards Third Madam is obvious to all. If my daughter-in-law treats me this way in the future, I will give her all my private property!"

"The third wife's family is always jealous of this and that, or they're just staring at the little bit of lucrative money the housekeeper gets and can't bear to let it go! If they really want these good things, they have plenty of time to please the old lady and the mistress. If they make them happy, they can just give away a little bit of stuff. Isn't that more lucrative than that little bit of lucrative money?"
