Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

No. kyblue08 and Shibi+)

Finally, after coaxing the little thing well, and getting two small pieces of agarwood leaves as big as eye-dropping eyes from it, which were stained on the handkerchief, Chen Afu came out of the room.

After returning to the hut, he whispered to Mrs. Wang about the sale of the brocade bird for 600 taels of silver, and said that he would use the money to buy a field.

Wang's jaw almost dropped in shock, God, isn't the money of rich people money? So much silver for a bird?

Chen Afu smiled and said, I heard that there are no such birds in the territory of our Dashun Dynasty. There are two assorted birds in the palace, which were paid tribute by the Fan people. This is the third bird, of course it is valuable. Besides, rich people I just like these flowers and birds, and the best flowers can be sold for thousands of taels of silver. This is called elegance.

Mrs. Wang nodded and said, Yes, that's right. However, that Uncle Chu is really a good official and did not deceive us.

That's true. If they didn't tell them, how would they know that the Assorted Birds were so valuable. Judging from the point of view, the hero looks cold and scary, but he is still a good person.

Chen Afu then remembered what Manager Luo said about the old Marquis. Does that mean that Chu Lingxuan was born in the Marquis' mansion? That's a noble birth. But, from such a wealthy family, how could his mother become a monk?

While she was thinking about her thoughts, she and Mrs. Wang began to cut Chu Hanyan's doll out of satin.

As soon as they cut two of them, they heard Chen Aman's knock on the door. Chen Afu had to put away the satin from which the swallow dolls were cut.

Because the Chu family didn't want others to know that their children liked smiling swallows, Chen Afu couldn't make swallow dolls and instead made clothes for Chu Hanyan. Shopkeeper Luo had given her a lot of fabrics, and he had received so much money from her family, so it was time for little Miss Chu to make some nice-looking clothes.

Chen Afu has now learned how to cut, so he cuts it by himself. If he doesn’t understand, he will ask Mr. Wang.

Chen Aman wanted Wang to teach her how to cut better-looking clothes. The little girl can tell how it looks, but she can’t cut it herself. Wang was an embroiderer, and after hearing what it looked like, she helped cut it out.

Chen Afu also generously pulled a piece of bright red satin to Chen Aman to use as decoration on his clothes. He also suggested that if you make this kind of dress, it is not suitable to sew buttons, as it will look cumbersome.

Seeing the regretful look on the little girl's face, he pulled two feet of turquoise satin to make a half-sleeved double-breasted jacket for her. This kind of clothes is suitable for using buckles, and the color of the buckles also matches. The little girl was so happy that she pulled Chen Afu and called her good sister.

Ms. Zhang, who followed, stopped her and said, Don't do this. What if the noble people know that you have misappropriated their satin and become angry?

Chen Afu smiled and said, Nothing, shopkeeper Luo specifically said that if these satins can't be used up, they can be kept to make clothes for me.

After Mrs. Zhang thanked Chen Afu, she asked Mrs. Wang to cut her skirt a little longer and wear it next year. She said that the good clothes of the crimson dress would be enough for this year and next. In this way, I will have good clothes to wear every year in the past few years.

The next day, what the Chen family didn't expect was that Bo Qing came again with a purchasing manager from Chu Mansion. Manager Luo said that the braised skewers he ate yesterday was delicious, so he took it to honor his uncle. It happened that several masters from the capital were there and they all liked it. Let the Chen family stew ten more pounds of various dishes. Don't put them on skewers. They have to put them on the plate. Such a large amount of food will have to be supplied to the Chu Mansion for six days. I will get more on the 15th, twenty pounds of each braised food.

Chen Shi was so happy that he hurriedly bowed and said that he would do as he was told. Then, he gave each of Qingbo and the purchasing manager a silver ingot of one tael.

As long as the people in the General's Office can come to Chen San Lu Chuan every day to buy things in the past few days, and I find a way to establish a relationship with these managers, those people will not dare to cause trouble. In the past two days, Chen Shi has noticed people like gangsters wandering around the store.

After sending the people from the Chu Mansion away, Chen Shi smiled and said to Chen Afu, Afu is so lucky to have a good name. It not only brings blessings to your own family, but also brings blessings to your third uncle's family. Oops. , Third Uncle is really reluctant to let you go back, and wants to enshrine you in Third Uncle’s home like a Jade Bodhisattva.”

After saying a few words, Wang smiled and narrowed his eyes.

The Chen family is busier than usual, and Wang and Chen Afu are also locked in the house and busy making dolls and clothes. Time was tight. Chen Afu and her daughter were busy day and night, and they finished making two large and small swallow dolls and a set of small clothes in the afternoon of the 14th, which they considered as a birthday gift to her.

Tomorrow is the little girl's birthday, and Chen Afu wants to make things before her birthday so that she can sleep comfortably while holding a big stuffed doll. When you feel relaxed, your mind will be stable.

Chen Afu guessed that the mother-in-law took the risk and threw away the big swallow doll before the little girl's birthday, maybe because she wanted the little girl's illness to get worse, so that some people with bad intentions could laugh at the joke, or to corrupt the little girl's behavior in the capital. reputation.

These two big swallow dolls have a little agarwood leaves put in the cotton. Although Yanzi's floral clothes have changed, her expression has not changed, and she still smiles so brightly. I didn’t have time to make the four small and four medium-sized dolls that I had cut out, so I’ll make them later when I have time.

The little dress is a goose yellow cross-collar skirt, with relatively large changes to the cuffs. Not the narrow sleeves or wide sleeves that are popular in this era, but bell sleeves. The shoulders are relatively narrow from the elbows. Starting from the elbows, the sleeves slowly spread out, like two large blooming morning glory flowers. The cuffs are also embellished with a circle of lace/silk with a crimson ribbon. The neckline was edged with moon-white satin, and Wang also embroidered peony branches.

The little dress is very beautiful and unique. Not to mention the direct praise from Mrs. Zhang and others, even Chen Afu likes it very much, thinking about how beautiful the little girl must be wearing this dress.

Dabao looked at it and even pursed his lips with joy.

Yesterday, Chen Afu asked Mrs. Zhang to bring back five kilograms of red dates, two kilograms of glutinous rice noodles, and a few taels of sesame seeds when she went to the market to buy ingredients. Chen Sangan's grocery store has rock sugar and osmanthus sugar.

In the morning, she soaked the red dates before going into the house to do her own thing.

After lunch, Chen Afu started making sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice and dates in the kitchen. She had gone into the space and brought out a small amount of agarwood residue, and put it in while cooking the dates. Before taking the dates out of the pot, sprinkle in the crushed osmanthus sugar and sesame seeds.

After the glutinous rice and dates were ready, a large wooden basin was filled. Chen Afu filled two large bowls and took the rest with him.

Now, Uncle Chu is his boss, and Miss Chu is both his student and his boss, so he must serve their stomachs well.

Chen Afu finished making the dates, and Wang's last bit of work was done.

Chen Afu wrapped the dolls and clothes in cloth and carried them, and asked Chen Ayu to carry a large basin filled with glutinous rice and dates out of Chen's house. A mule cart had already arrived outside Chen Sangan's miscellaneous store, and they got on it and headed straight to the Chu Mansion.

Dabao still wanted to find a way out, but Chen Afu didn't take him. When there are many guests in the Chu Mansion, they will definitely not be allowed to see Chu Hanyan.
