Chapter 17

Mother Zhang was a little surprised that Fang Xinsu had ever had such a small temper in the past. Now see light willow to make her eyes, quickly endure the tears in the eyes, smile to open the burden, "girl, look at this dress, don't you like it? If not, I'll do it for the girl

I saw two or three blooming white camellia and several dark green leaves embroidered on the skirt of the light blue shirt. In this hot summer, I feel pure and elegant. As soon as Fang Xinsu had a look, he knew that the dress had been made with great effort. As soon as the embroidery worker saw it, he knew that it was mammy Zhang's craft. She didn't know how sad she was when she thought of spilling all her unhappiness on mammy just now. Therefore, some of them said, "mammy is old. It's tiring to do this kind of work. I'm not allowed to do it in the future."

Mammy Zhang said with a smile, "as long as the girl doesn't dislike me, no matter how much I do, I won't feel tired. Girl, do you want to try? "

Fang Xinsu nodded, and several servant girls rushed to the inner room to replace her. Her skin is white and tender, and her figure is curly, which makes her look more elegant. Fang Xinsu said, "I haven't seen this style before. It's a new fashion in Beijing?"

Coral replied with a smile, "it's the way sister Qingliu thought of it. She said that the girl must look good in it. It's not really beautiful!"

Fang Xinsu nodded, "Qingliu's mind is dexterous, you all learn more."

Just joking, Shen Tian brought two girls to come. Fang Xinsu quickly got up and put her on the seat. "Big sister is coming, sit down quickly." Then he said to Qingliu, "I remember my elder sister's favorite drink is melon slices. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager gave me two boxes of superior Lu'an tea. You can find one for her."

Shen Tian said with a smile, "don't worry. Two days ago, Chuang Tzu sent this year's fresh lotus root, walnuts and other things. I asked them to make walnut dew and two kinds of snacks. They tasted good. I brought some for you."

Then the ink painting put the small basket on the table, opened it, and took out the green pastel flower and bird covered bowl and two white porcelain dishes. Inside the cover bowl is what Shen Tian said about the dew of walnuts, while the two plates are filled with sweet scented osmanthus sugar steamed chestnut flour cake and rock sugar glutinous rice lotus root slices. There are only four or five pieces in the big dish, but they are exquisite. Fang Xinsu can't help but say, "my cousin just happened to be here. I just feel a little hungry."

With that, he tasted one piece of each. After tasting, he said, "it's just glutinous rice and lotus root slices. This chestnut flour cake is very good. It's powdery and delicious." Then he ate two pieces of chestnut flour cake, drank most of the bowl of walnut dew, nodded and said, "this peach blossom dew is also good. It tastes very sweet. It's very kind of you, cousin

Shen Tian covered his mouth with a smile and said, "you, don't thank me in a hurry. I'm here today, but I have something to ask you. "

Fang Xinsu opened his eyes wide and said, "what's the matter?"

Shen Tian said, "my mother gave me a shop in her private room. Just as the previous lease expired, the room was empty. I don't want to rent out any more. I'll do something by myself. I don't want to earn much money, but I can understand the market and the world. My mother has been in a hurry recently. I thought, "you are used to this, so I came here to learn from you."

Fang Xinsu nodded, "well, although women like us don't have to go out and make a public appearance, they will always be directors in the future. If they don't know anything, they can't let the following managers deceive them? When I was a housekeeper in jinzhouchu, I met many moths. At that time, my father taught me carefully, and my younger brother was willing to help me. Otherwise, I might have made a lot of jokes. Elder sister, what are you going to do with the shop? "

Instead of answering, Shen Tian pointed to Fang Xinsu's clothes and said, "the style of the clothes is very unique. The camellia embroidery is also exquisite. Did you bring it back from the palace?"

Fang Xinsu shook his head. "The palace clothes are magnificent. How can there be such elegant clothes? It's made for me by mammy Zhang. The style of the dress is thought by Liu Qingliu. "“ It's really good-looking, so you can wear a plain color. By the way, this material is also brought by you. The material of my skirt is made of the same material, or those you gave me. You don't sell many of these satins in the capital, "Shen Tian said, stroking the Liuxian skirt she was wearing.

Fang Xinsu changed her mind. "Does my sister want to do this silk business? It's a long-term business, but does my sister have any supply? "

Shen Tian nodded, "our family's ancestral home is in Jinling. Now there are many people there. The south of the Yangtze River is rich in silk. There are several people in our family who do this business. Another cousin of my uncle's family followed her husband to the middle of Shu, where Shu Brocade is also famous. I didn't expect to do much, it's just to earn money. There are two or three kinds of precious silk, and some ordinary fabrics will do

Fang Xinsu nodded, "it seems that my cousin has a plan in mind. Since everything is appropriate, why don't you try?"

"Then try." Although she had a plan in her heart for a long time, it was the first time for Shen Tian to do something on her own. She was a little worried. Now it's just this man talking to relieve her tension, but she didn't really want others to help her make up her mind.

The two sisters said something else, and Fang Xinsu invited Shen Tian to watch her camellia. Shen Tian also praised that "the camellia are really blooming."

The servant girl offered the Lu'an Guapian that Fang Xinsu said just now. Shen Tian sipped it. "It's really good tea. It's fresh and fragrant."

Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "since my sister likes it, I'll take a can with me when I leave. I don't drink that much anyway. "

Knowing that Fang Xinsu has been drinking tea, Shen Tian said with a smile, "your taste is similar to that of your mother. My mother also likes to drink tea."

The two sisters said something for a long time. Until the sun set, they cleaned up together and went to Yuehua courtyard to greet Han.
