Red makeup against the world

Chapter 286 Sending Silk Flowers

The wind of the rumor turned quickly, and it spread only in the evening, and spread throughout Luoyang City the next day.

Although there are still people who don't believe it, when most people say this, the rest of the people can only mutter in their hearts.

Sitting in the tea shop, Fan Bin had a smile on his face when he heard the discussion among the people.This Shi Shizi did what he said, and he was indeed a person worthy of friendship.

Xu Wenmin stopped outside the shop of "Jinxiuji" in Nanshi, and upon hearing these few words, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

He was originally handsome and handsome, but the smile on his face was as warm as the sun at this time, causing all the older girls and daughters-in-law passing by to stare at him.

He entered the door, turned to the backyard of the shop, and asked shopkeeper Yu: "Treasurer Yu, how many silk flowers are there from the silk flower workshop yesterday?"

Ever since Xu Changzong and his son were released from Dali Temple, shopkeeper Yu has been cheerful all day long.For him, there is nothing more gratifying than seeing his master and his son safe and sound.

The silk flower workshop was established by the eldest lady, and the silk flowers produced are exquisite and lifelike.He is also good at doing business, and he is well versed in the principle of "rare things are more expensive".Although there are many silk flowers produced in the workshop, there are only [-] carefully selected ones for sale in the shop every day, and they will only be sold out.More of them are distributed to various places in Gaomang through the He family trade route.

As soon as it was listed, it was sought after by noble ladies in Beijing.How can a mere thirty roses a day?You know, there are more than thirty silk flowers of various colors in the dowry of only one lady.

Therefore, there will be a phenomenon in Nanshi tomorrow morning, before the door of "Splendid Embroidery" is opened, there is a servant woman from that rich family waiting at the door.When the time came and the door opened, they rushed in and grabbed the counter where the silk flowers were placed.

Those who got it smiled happily, and those who didn't got it were very frustrated, so they had to come back tomorrow.

At this time, when Shaodong’s family asked, shopkeeper Yu replied: “The ones put on display today have all been sold out. There are still more than [-] flowers in the warehouse, which are ready for regular customers to come to the door.”

For those regular customers who still bought clothes here during the most difficult period of "Jinxiuji", they will naturally be treated differently at this time.

Xu Wenmin nodded and said, "Bring me ten flowers and wrap them up. I'm useful here."

Shopkeeper Yu naturally wouldn't question the orders of Shaodong's family.After a while, he brought up two brocade boxes, each containing five silk flowers.

Knowing that the shopkeeper Yu is safe, Xu Wenmin still opened the box and checked one by one to make sure that every silk flower was free of any flaws, and then closed the lid with satisfaction.

He also went to the warehouse to choose a half-foot blue bat-pattern grosgrain material, wrapped the two brocade boxes together, and just took it out of the door.

When we arrived at the side gate of An Guogong's mansion, the Niu Zi we met last time was guarding the gate.

Seeing him coming, he smiled and said a thousand times: "Master Xu is here, but he is looking for my family's elder son? Please come in quickly, and the young one will go pass it on."

Everyone in An Guogong's mansion was told that Miss Xu's family was the adopted daughter whom Madam had recognized for a long time.The foster mother at that time was not like modern times, she just yelled.Adopted sons and adopted daughters are all listed in the family tree of the ancestral hall, and their behavior also affects the face of the adoptive father or adoptive mother.

This is another extremely close relationship besides blood relationship.The adopted son and adopted daughter were not randomly identified, and because of this, they were able to stop that Youyou's mouth.

This young master of the Xu family is the biological brother of his wife and adopted daughter, how can he not treat him with courtesy?
Xu Wenmin smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "I won't go in. This gift is a little bit of love from my sister to my adoptive mother, please accept it with a smile."

……

In Mrs. An's main courtyard, the mother-in-law is tending the flowers and plants, and the maids in the porch are doing their own thing.

The little girl opened the curtain, and Qinglu came in with a moon-blue box in her hand, and said with a smile: "Madam, this is a gift from the young master of the Xu family, and it is said that it is a little love from my sister to my adoptive mother."

"Oh?" Mrs. Zhuang was a little surprised and put down the teacup in her hand. She didn't expect the Xu family to send a gift.

Taking a look at the extremely exquisite gift box, the grosgrain is luxurious, and the Xu family is also interested in wrapping it with such a material.

Qinglu put the box on the table, opened the grosgrain, and inside were two stacked brocade boxes.Picking up one of them and opening it, he said with a smile, "Ma'am, this is the silk tweed from the Xu family's 'Splendid Embroidery'."

As he spoke, he presented the box, and on the dark flannelette inside the box lay quietly five silk flowers of different shapes, each of which had its own beauty.Mrs. Zhuang picked up a dark green silk peony flower and got up, smelling the fragrance of peony flowers in her nose.

She praised: "The silk flowers in 'Splendid Embroidery' are really extraordinary, no wonder they are crazy to buy them. The Xu family has a heart!"

Qinglu smiled and said: "Madam is different, so naturally someone will come to your door."

Zhuang's Yile, this prostitute, seems to recognize her value, and the Xu family is well-informed.

Qinglu opened another box, and sure enough there were still five silk flowers.

"I'll just keep this one." Mrs. Zhuang held the dark green peony in her hand and gestured on her head: "The rest, you share among the rooms. Miss and Madam each have one."

Qinglu agreed, holding the box and retreating.

……

At the side door of the Prince's Mansion, Matchmaker Gan was waiting anxiously. She came to see Master Du.

A servant came from inside and said, "Ms. Gan, please follow me."

Taking her into the flower hall, when she saw Master Du, Matchmaker Gan said anxiously, "Master, what should we do? Everyone is saying that Miss Xu is the adopted daughter of Mrs. An Guogong."

Master Du said with a dark face, "Are you asking me? It's really embarrassing that you were beaten out for a kiss!"

Now there is another rumor in the market: "No wonder Matchmaker Gan will be beaten when she comes to propose marriage. How can anyone help a righteous brother to propose marriage to a righteous sister? This iceman deserves it. He dares to come to propose marriage without even knowing the situation."

The official media that she looked down on in the past even spread the word everywhere, and the reputation of Matchmaker Gan was underestimated for a while.

Matchmaker Gan said, "It's because I'm not doing my job well, so I asked my master to give me some advice. Is there a way to deal with the current situation?"

Master Du said: "This is the end of the matter, I can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. You go to Nanshi and find a few more helpers, saying that this matter is groundless, why did Miss Xu suddenly become a member of An Guogong's mansion?" Adopted daughter? The two families have never had any contact, and I think it was just to cover up the scandal, and it was a last resort." He gave her some scattered money and asked her to hire someone.

After hearing this, Matchmaker Gan took leave of Master Du as if she had found a treasure, and hurried away.

When she arrived in Nanshi, she didn't dare to make a big show this time, so she quietly found the help of those few people she knew on weekdays, and explained the matter.

These few helpers had just received the dowry gift from her a while ago, and they had no choice but to do things according to her orders.

　The cold is not good for a long time. I complained a few words in the author's words, and I received the warm care from "Bai Xiongfang" and "Linda Xiaozhou". With your company, Zhouzhou feels so happy^_^
