Little Wife Treasure [Rebirth]

"Reporting to Madam, all the silks and satins in Yongji Cloth Shop on East Street were sold out yesterday!"

"The good fabrics of the Xiangyu silk and satin shop in West Street are also sold out. When I went there, I happened to meet the shopkeeper telling the shopkeeper that the fabrics sold out this month are too fast, and I need to find someone to go to the south to replenish the goods. It is said that it will take at least seven days to go back and forth!"

"Ma'am, the little one took people all over the cloth shops in the imperial city, and all the cloth that complies with the regulations has been sold out!"

"How could it be!" Mrs. He sat up from the couch in shock, her face could not stop being surprised, "How could there be none of the dozen or so cloth shops in the imperial city!"

The errand boys in front all had bitter faces, and the one in the head bit the bullet and explained under the gaze of He Shi, "I vaguely heard what the shopkeepers said, it seems that soon after the draft was issued in the palace, the clans were They bought out all the good materials in the cloth and silk shops."

When He heard this, her brows felt aching, her heart was full of boredom, but she had to continue to think of a way: "It's sold out at the foot of the imperial city, so you go to the prefectures near the imperial city and look for it quickly."

The boys looked at each other and said yes with a bitter face.

Not long after, Mrs. Li brought a few concubines to pay her respects. Everyone surrounded the matter of the clothes and said some plausible things. Mrs. He couldn't help it, waved back, and tore a piece of veil with her own hands. .

"Jade branch."

Yuzhi carefully stepped forward to squeeze He's shoulders, and whispered worriedly in He's ear: "Madam, what shall we do now?"

He's treatment of children in the family is particularly biased, not to mention the two young masters who were brought up by Lord Hou since childhood, but only the son and the girl. Except for Mr. Baiyi, the eldest daughter and the eldest son have no proper division. Material.

Moreover, the days to enter the palace for the draft are less than five days, and the list of drafts has already been submitted to the palace yesterday, which has become a fixed number, so if the suitable fabrics cannot be obtained within three days, then the Hou Mansion will really be in trouble. big!

"Go to He Mansion and find my mother." After all, Mrs. He is the mistress of the Hou Mansion. No matter how unhappy she felt, she quickly calmed down and said calmly, "Mother has always been frugal, so I think this year's mansion The new material has not been used up yet, so go and borrow one first."

Yuzhi hurriedly said yes, and trotted out of the mansion with a few maidservants.

In less than half an hour, Yuzhi returned to the Hou Mansion sweating profusely, and knelt in front of Mrs. He: "Madam, Mrs. You Tongzheng said that all the new materials in her mansion have been made into ready-made clothes a month ago, and now There are only a few bolts of rough cloth left. You and You Tongzheng’s wife secretly told the servants that there were actually good materials in the house, but the imperial concubine Hui used a lot of them, and the rest of the good things were sent to the palace. ..."

After hearing this, He almost fell on his back.

They were all sent to the palace!

At this juncture, if the He family wants to hand over the sign and enter the palace, it will be a few days later, so how can there be time? !

He felt his head was about to explode.

"Ma'am, the Eldest Young Master will enter the palace for a draft in four days. I wonder if the new clothes are ready?"

After lunch, Nanny Gui came to greet Mrs. He and urged her again.

He could only reluctantly say: "The people below are slow to work, and the materials are still on the way to buy."

"Trouble Madam, take care."

Nanny Gui said a few more words to Mrs. He, and then went to the kitchen to pick up a basket of freshly made hot pastries and brought them back to the courtyard.

"Mommy, Mommy is back."

In the yard, with an arrow in his hand, Bai Guo was practicing pot throwing with Nanny Ping.

His shots were inaccurate, and it was difficult for him to hit even one out of ten arrows.

"Eldest Young Master lost again." Nanny Ping threw an arrow into a pot and poured him a glass of sake from the table as punishment.

Ginkgo drank the clear wine in the wine glass, and her cheeks became tender and rosy, and she wished she could teach someone to squeeze it, it must be very soft.

After drinking, her body became warm, and Bai Guo's eyes were full of confusion, as if she was drunk.

Nanny Ping called him softly.

Bai Guo raised his eyes in a daze, a pair of clear eyes seemed to be simmering with a clear spring, warm and soft.

"Go back to the house and sleep when the eldest son is sleepy."

Nanny Ping held the young man's hand, with a faint look of kindness floating between her usually indifferent eyebrows and eyes.

"Why did you just pour one cup?" Nanny Gui put down the food box, and when she saw Nanny Ping coming out of the room, she said reproachfully, "You're going to bully the Eldest Young Master."

"The eldest son has been practicing quite hard these days, it's time to take a break." Nanny Ping looked calm, picked up the arrows on the ground and put them away, then turned to ask Nanny Gui, "Mrs. Is there any food?"

Nanny Gui laughed, and said in a low voice, "How can that one take advantage of her so cheaply? You only look at the mill in the back."

On the second day, a few young men who went to Lin County to buy goods returned to the Hou's Mansion. A group of people looked tired but empty-handed. After all, He couldn't hold back his anger, and threw a teacup viciously, hitting a young man on the head. Up: "What's the use of the Hou's mansion raising these wastes of yours! You can't even buy a piece of cloth!"

"Madam, spare your life! Madam, spare your life!" The servants felt that they had been wronged extremely, and that all the good materials outside had been snatched up early, what could they do?

Injustice, really injustice.

But Mrs. He was in a hurry, and he was about to sell a few people.

The servants burst into tears, and all the servants in the backyard of the Hou Mansion knelt down.

Marquis Changping saw such a scene when he entered the door, he frowned tightly and asked, "What's the matter? Crying and fussing, what a shame!"

"Master Hou!" Shocked, He stood up to greet him, "Why did Master Hou come back so early today?"

Marquis Changping got a headache from the crying of a few servants, so he pushed Mrs. He away and sat on the main seat in annoyance, glared at her and said, "It's not a good thing you did! You made this Marquis a joke in the entire imperial city today!"

He's face turned pale. As the wife of the Marquis of Changping, it was the first time that she was scolded by her husband like this.

"Get off all the way." Marquis Changping waved back all the servants in the courtyard, leaving only Mrs. He alone.

"Where did my concubine do something wrong to embarrass Lord Marquis?" He asked Marquis Changping with red eyes.

"What did you do wrong?" Marquis Changping looked up at her coldly, "It wasn't you who sent people all over the imperial city to buy and buy clothes made according to the palace regulations? Although you are a little cold towards the boss on weekdays, this Marquis is not either. It’s easy to talk about you, but look at what you have done now! Everyone in the imperial city knows that this Marquis’s wife treats her original wife harshly, and even this Marquis has been made a joke by those people outside!”

He's legs and feet were unsteady, he shook his head and said, "How could this be?"

It's just asking the servants to buy fabrics. Didn't other clans also go to the cloth and silk shops to buy them a while ago?Why is it her turn that everyone thinks that she is treating the eldest son harshly?

What the He family didn't know was that those clans that purchased fabrics were just branches of some small families, and their family backgrounds were not deep. Naturally, no one would discuss the purchase of materials that conformed to the regulations for entering the palace. The first is different from them.

You say you are from a wealthy family, but you even have to temporarily buy a suit of legal clothes. Isn't it a joke?

The good face of the virtuous Shude who had been in business for more than ten years was torn off, and the He family was completely panicked.

As a result, Marquis Changping had lost all face outside, and now he was even more unwilling to face He's face that disturbed him.

Squinting his eyes at Hui He, Changping Hou flicked his sleeves and said, "When the boss enters the palace, you can go to the ancestral hall and kneel! I haven't offered a stick of incense to Wei He in the past few years, so this time I will give it to her in the ancestral hall." Pray!" After saying that, Marquis Changping got up and left.

He exclaimed in disbelief, "Master Hou!"

Marquis Changping kept walking, but he tilted his head and said with a cold face: "The Marquis will rest in the chrysanthemum courtyard these few days, so don't come to see me if there is no serious matter. In addition, the prince who has just passed away recently, I will give you my best wishes. I found a few masters to enlighten me, so don't disturb his homework if you have nothing to do."

This is... Master Hou wants to separate the prince from himself?

He's face was pale, and he wanted to say something, but under Changping Hou's cold and biting eyes, his whole body was desolate, like falling into an abyss.

"Ma'am! Are you all right, madam?"

Marquis Changping walked out of the backyard, Yuzhi and other maidservants ran into the yard in panic.

He looked at the direction where Marquis Chang Ping was leaving in a daze, and when his eyes went dark, he passed out.

"...It seems to be sick, aggressive, and bedridden." Ping Mama waited on Bai Guo not far away, watching Bai Guo's clumsy painting, while whispering to Gui Mama, "But she is made of that material. Things haven't been done yet, so I have to hurry."

"It's useless to remind you." Nanny Gui shook her head, "Don't think that if she falls down, that one will soften her heart."

Nanny Ping frowned lightly: "But if this day gets shorter, I'm afraid it will be too late with just a few embroiderers from the Hou Mansion."

Nanny Gui said thoughtfully, "Perhaps that person has other plans."

There are still two days before Bai Guo enters the palace draft. Although He is lingering on the sick bed, the matter of material will not conjure up a horse out of thin air just because of her fall.The two foster nuns didn't seem to notice her sickness, they would come to urge her three times a day, and at the back, the Marquis of Changping even sent someone to deliver a message to her, which meant that if the eldest son didn't wear the clothes that conformed to the regulations, The disrespect in front of the imperial court has caused the Hou family to suffer, so she, as Mrs. Hou, does not have to continue to be Mrs. Hou.

He was so startled and angry that she passed out again after being handed the message, but when she woke up, she still had to urge the servants to look around for suitable clothing materials.

And just the day before Bai Guo was about to enter the palace, when Mrs. He was almost driven crazy and wanted to give up, a new batch of exquisite silk satin arrived at Yongji Cloth Shop on East Street.

"The material must conform to the regulations, and it is a new style that is fashionable in the south." The young man who heard the news ran into the backyard excitedly and reported to He, "The shopkeeper also said that they invited the embroiderers from the south this time." , It is said that the skills are so good that the four of them can make the clothes overnight!"

He Shi was lying on the couch, and she still had a strong bitter taste in her mouth after just drinking the medicine.

Yuzhi handed her a candied fruit, and He ate it, ignoring the dull pain in his temples, and said hurriedly: "Then hurry up and buy the silk and satin, and ask the embroiderer to do it!"

After hearing this, the boy hesitated slightly under his excited expression.

"Why are you still standing there!" Shi He urged him.

The young man knelt on the ground and said, "Ma'am, the shopkeeper also said that it would cost a lot of money to make such a dress."

How much money can a new dress that complies with regulations cost the sky?Without thinking about it, He said: "No matter how much money, let them do it quickly! If there is not enough money in the house, take it from my wife's private treasury!"

The boy got it right and hurriedly retreated.

In the main courtyard, Yuzhi waited by Mrs. He, with a smile on her face, flattering Mrs. He, saying: "As expected, it is God's blessing. Madam can rest assured now."
