Chapter 418

When Luo qingluan returned to the hut prepared for her by the sheriff's house, it was almost dawn.

Next door, Fang Gu's breathing was even and steady, and she obviously slept soundly. Luo qingluan didn't think much. She quickly took off her shoes and went to bed. After a tired night, she almost fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

I don't know when someone nearby seemed to be calling her. Luo qingluan suddenly opened her eyes and heard a cry of surprise. Fang Gu was obviously frightened by her actions. Unexpectedly, Luo qingluan would suddenly open her eyes.

Living in a strange environment, Luo qingluan has always been more careful. If she hadn't been too sleepy last night, she wouldn't have heard Fang Gu's voice at the first time. When she called, she woke up naturally.

"Sorry, did you scare you, aunt Fang?" Luo qingluan smiled.

Aunt Fang recovered, shook her head and smiled: "no, I woke you up. I don't know when you came back last night. I think you're late. I should let you sleep a little longer, but the housekeeper sent someone to bring breakfast. If you don't eat it again, it'll be cold."

Although she was not very hungry, Luo qingluan didn't want Fang Gu to doubt. At present, she got up, dressed, washed and had dinner together. Simple white porridge, two cages of fresh meat steamed stuffed buns and some pickled vegetables are not very good, but they are better than ordinary servants in the government.

Fang Gu was satisfied with her food and asked Luo qingluan with envy whether she had been like this all the time. Luo qingluan casually said yes, which attracted her to be more eager. It can be seen that Fang Gu's family is not very good, otherwise she would not be satisfied with such a simple meal.

The two chatted while eating. In addition to what they said on the road with Fang Gu yesterday, Luo qingluan almost found out Fang Gu's family background.

Fanggu also started working for Wu Fangji a year ago. Because of her exquisite embroidery, she was hired by Wu Fangji's boss for two liang silver a month. She hasn't married yet. She just wants to earn more money to subsidize her brother for his study and examination.

But Luo qingluan didn't say anything about herself. She was basically asking, and Fang Gu answered. Occasionally Fang Gu also asked her curiously. Luo qingluan said casually, and then changed the topic and fooled her. Up to now, Fang Gu only knows her name is "Xiaoqing", who came to Jiangbei County from other places.

After eating almost no rest, aunt Fang began to take out the clothes cut last night and continue to do according to the pattern. Lo Qing Luan as like as two peas, and the design of her charcoal has already appeared, and almost identical.

Just about to install the sample, Luo qingluan picked out some colored silk threads for color matching, and footsteps came from outside. She looked up. It was the housekeeper who brought them here yesterday. It was said that her name was Wang Si. Luo qingluan was not interested in knowing what her specific name was.

"Housekeeper Wang, what's up?" It was Fang Gu. Obviously she had a good temper. She put down her scissors and smiled.

Glancing at her, Wang Si's eyes fell on Luo qingluan and said proudly, "your name is Xiaoqing, right? Our Miss wants to see you and come with me."

"Miss wants to see me?" Luo qingluan frowned slightly: "didn't she ask us to make the wedding clothes in three days? If I waste time to see her, who will be responsible for the delay in the construction period?"

Wang Si snorted softly, "who cares so much about you? Since Miss said she wanted to see you, you have to go, whether you go or not? Go quickly. I won't look good if I let someone do it later."

What else did Luo qingluan want to say? Fang Gu winked at her: "Xiaoqing, just go. I'm here. I won't delay."

"Well, please." In that case, Luo qingluan is OK. I don't know what Du Qianqian is looking for her. Why does the eldest lady have so many things to do when she is getting married? Are you really worried that she can't finish her wedding dress?

Wang Si was very impatient. He muttered and walked out. Luo qingluan didn't want to fall short, so he reluctantly endured and followed up. When I arrived at the Xinxiang garden where Du Qianqian lived, I saw that Du Qianqian was still eating breakfast and the girl Dong'Er was waiting on her. She had just filled her with a bowl of bird's nest soup.

"Miss, drink while it's hot." Dong Er seems very attentive.

Du Qianqian wiped his mouth with a silk. Sri slowly pretended to gracefully pick up the bowl and scooped a spoon, but he didn't drink. With a glance in her eyes, she seemed to see Luo qingluan's appearance and smiled with a touch of noble spirit.

"Can you eat?" Du Qianqian said, but he didn't look at Luo qingluan at all.

"Just eaten." Luo qingluan doesn't talk much. Now her identity is xiuniang Xiaoqing. She can't help answering Du Qianqian's words, but she's not interested in nonsense.

With such a short answer, Du Qianqian didn't look grateful at all. Du Qianqian gave a meal with the spoon in his hand and finally didn't say anything. When Wang Si, the housekeeper who led the way, saw him, he quickly smiled and said, "Miss, when I went just now, they were already working and making wedding clothes for miss."

Finally speaking of the subject, Du Qianqian shifted his attention and looked at Luo qingluan more: "today is the first day, Xiaoqing. Tell me how you plan to make a wedding dress for Miss Ben."

Dong'Er immediately said, "don't try to deceive us, miss. Although miss can't embroider, I can. You told Miss yesterday that you can make such a wedding dress in three days. I'm afraid it's impossible. If you want to deceive miss, hum, you'd better be careful."

I don't know if it's what Dong er said to Du Qianqian last night. He changed his appearance in just one day. But Luo qingluan didn't expect to make her a wedding dress, but sneaked in to inquire about the news. The evidence was conclusive and she knew everything. She had left long ago.

But now, we still have to fool the past.

"So miss Dong'Er can also make wedding clothes? Otherwise, how can we know that we can't do it in three days?" Luo qingluan smiled: "in that case, it's better to trouble miss Dong'Er to make it for Miss Du and save money. We're also relaxed. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

"You..." Dong'Er was choked by Luo qingluan and didn't know how to say: "when did I say I could make wedding clothes?"

"What would you do?"

Luo qingluan not only refused to give in, Instead, press step by step: "Can miss Dong'Er take the soles of shoes, embroider purses and make sachets? Hehe, this is totally different from making wedding clothes. Don't think it will take ten days and a half months to fix flowers, miss Dong'Er, just think it will take us so long. You serve Miss Du, and you can't use it every time miss moonlight gives you a reward. You are the master of girls. We are humble people. If we are not fast Can you support yourself? Naturally, I dare not compare with your winter girl. "

Du Qianqian sneered: "ha ha, what a sharp mouth. Dong'Er, if you can't tell her, shut up and don't make a fool of herself in front of outsiders."

"Yes, miss." Seeing Du Qianqian angry, Dong'Er can only bow his head and step aside.

His eyes lifted and looked at Rocky gran. Du Qianqian put down the bowl in his hand, got up and waved his hand and said, "all withdraw."

The two little girls who waited beside them immediately came up to clean up and cleaned up in a moment. Dong'Er brought tea to serve her again, rinsed and wiped her mouth. When Du Qianqian sat comfortably in the cool chair and enjoyed the girl's fan, he began to speak.

"Bring it up."

"Yes, miss."

Dong'Er nodded and waved his hand. Immediately, a servant brought up a wooden box that had already been prepared and put it on the table. Du Qianqian gave birth to a white arm, gently opened the wooden box cover, and then looked at Luo qingluan with a smile.

Although Dong'Er already knew what was inside, he couldn't help breathing when he saw it again. The other servants stared straight at the jewels in the wooden box.

In the bright morning light, the box is full of all kinds of gemstones. They look very dazzling and reflect colorful light, just like a rainbow, which strongly attracts people's attention. Each one is uniform in size, polished round and smooth, like multicolored transparent pearls, which makes people hold their breath.

The red one is like a flame, the green one is like blue water, the blue one is like a deep sea, and the purple one shows a strong mystery. At a glance, it seems to absorb people's soul... All kinds of lights are reflected together and projected on Du Qianqian's white jade like hand, and her skin is like coated with a rainbow.

With a proud smile on his lips, Du Qianqian picked up a red gem and lifted his eyes to sweep Luo qingluan. She thought Luo qingluan would be stunned by so many valuable gemstones. Unexpectedly... The other party looked indifferent, like a country bumpkin who didn't know the goods. She stood there without even a look.

"You... Do you know what this is?" Du Qianqian forgot what he was going to say. He immediately changed his face and handed the ruby in his hand to Luo qingluan.

After another look, Luo qingluan did not admit his mistake. Luo qingluan said, "Miss Du, this is a ruby. Don't you know it?"

Almost a mouthful of blood gushed out. She wouldn't know? She Du Qianqian is the daughter of the sheriff and will soon marry the fifth prince as the imperial concubine. How can she not know ruby? But why is the embroidered woman so calm in front of her? In the face of a box full of all kinds of gemstones, she didn't even change her expression?

Originally, he wanted to appreciate Luo qingluan's envy. Du Qianqian didn't expect that he had miscalculated. But she was unwilling and her face sank: "how can I not know you? I wanted you to see these tributes from the palace, but I didn't expect you to be so ignorant. How can I trust you to give them to you?"

"Give it to me? What does Miss Du want to do?"

With a light hum, Du Qianqian disdained: "I thought you were the embroidering mother of Wu Fangji. I thought you were good at your craft. Who knows, you can't even see the value of these gemstones. If I give you the wedding dress, wouldn't it be a big deal for Miss Ben?"

"Miss Du said the value of this box of gemstones?"

Luo qingluan glanced and said faintly, "these gemstones are really good. They are of good grade and quality. Take the pigeon blood red in Miss Du's hand. The market price is at least 5000 Liang. The full box is no less than 300, and the minimum value is 1.5 million Liang."
