Lan Yixin's face suddenly darkened, she was angry. Chen Lixiao immediately pulled Qin Shixiang and said, "Mother, you are right. I know I was wrong! Please calm down!"
"Calm down? Look at what Qin Shixiang has become now. She doesn't learn needlework well, but instead stirs up trouble everywhere. This is not the way a good girl should behave. Won't people look down on her in the future?"
Chen Lixiao immediately panicked, "Yes, my daughter-in-law must accompany Shixiang to do needlework and read the women's precepts."
Then Chen Lixiao and Qin Shixiang hurried out of Qin Lan's courtyard.
"Mom, why doesn't grandma seem to like us that much?" Qin Shixiang was very depressed.
"Stop talking here, let's go back to our own courtyard." Chen Lixiao pulled Qin Shixiang away.
"Shiyu, you can come out now." Lan Yixin had a slight smile on her face.
"Grandma, Shiyu thanks you for your protection. Shiyu really didn't do anything to hurt Shixiang. I feel sorry for what she went through at the banquet."
Qin Shiyu's slightly worried expression made Lan Yixin feel that her Shiyu was indeed a good child.
"Okay, Grandma knows that Shiyu never harmed my sister. Go back and have a good rest."
"Yes, Shiyu will take his leave!"
Lan Yixin was playing with the string of Buddhist beads in her hand: "Old Madam, this string of Buddhist beads doesn't look like something Miss Yu can show off."
"No matter who gave it to me, if I'm not mistaken, it must have been the eldest lady, He Qingqing, who gave me this kind of Buddhist beads."
Xin Yan immediately stepped forward and rubbed Qin Lan's shoulders. "That Madam is really willing to spend so much! This string of Buddhist beads is of the same quality as those in the palace. If it were sold at the Fu Yue auction, it would be worth at least several thousand taels of silver!"
"I naturally wouldn't want to auction off a Buddhist bead like this. Keeping it in my hands nourishes my body."
"Xin Yan has spoken out of turn. The old lady will definitely not sell such fine Buddhist beads at such a low price. Nourishing them with jade will surely prolong the old lady's life!"
Lan Yixin nodded immediately and said, "That's right. The way to maintain good health is to find good jade to wear. This way, your body will naturally be healthy."
Qin Shiyu immediately left the courtyard and headed towards the eldest lady's courtyard: "Mother, are you there?"
"Yuyu, you're here. Did your grandmother accept the Buddhist beads?"
When He Qingqing asked this, the maid beside her immediately brought tea and snacks.
"Mother, how did you know that Second Aunt brought Shixiang to complain?"
"Although I don't know much about your affairs, but you were able to help Shixiang, that bitch, to be punished at the banquet, which is a great honor for our eldest family. I will never let you be punished to kneel again."
"But mother, this string of jade Buddhist beads is worth quite a bit of silver. You are really willing to spend it."
Qin Shiyu took a cup of tea and took a sip.
"Shiyu, sometimes we have to be willing to give up a little. Mother hasn't been able to give birth to a son in all these years. If Qin Lan finds any fault with her at this critical moment, it will be a bargain for the people from the second house."
Qin Shiyu nodded, put down the teacup and said, "Yes, mother, I will be careful not to go wrong."
In the courtyard of Luo Xiangqin in Shangshui Village
Ning Xiaotang was choosing patterns with Chen Yilan and Zheng Douqin. "Sister Yilan, look at this pink pattern! It's so pretty!"
"Okay, I like this pink color!" Chen Yilan immediately and happily decided on the pink one.
The person who measured the clothes immediately recorded it in the book with a smile on his face.
At this time, Zheng Douqin took a fancy to a light green fabric: "I want this light green one, it's the color I always like."
Then Qian Fangchun took her measurements and chose a light and elegant pale lotus color.
At this time, Ning Xiaotang smiled sweetly and said, "Sisters, you guys take your measurements here. I'll go ask Third Brother if he wants to take his measurements too so we can make some spring clothes."
At this time, Hai Moying immediately stepped in and said sourly: "Don't bother Tangtang, I will make clothes for Ning Zike myself, no one else needs to do it. Just give me the money for making clothes separately!"
Ning Xiaotang glanced at Hai Moying's earrings. They were a pair of emerald green earrings, which were rare and good accessories for her second aunt.
"Second Aunt, if I'm not mistaken, you must have used the old fabrics in the storehouse to make clothes for your third brother, and saved the money from your third and fourth brothers' clothes to sell for your own accessories, right?"
Luo Xiangqin immediately glanced over and said, "Hai Moying, don't even think about getting a piece of cloth from the warehouse. Liu Ayuan, take someone to take measurements for the Third and Fourth Young Masters so they can make their New Year clothes!"
Aunt Liu immediately bowed and said, "Yes, I respect the old lady's order."
Hai Moying immediately lowered his head with an angry look on his face, thinking to himself that such good money was just gone like that.
Ning Xiaotang saw through her idea at a glance.
Luo Xiangqin really disliked the second son's daughter-in-law, but on the surface everyone was okay with it and no one made things difficult for her.
However, this concerns the clothing of the two brothers Ning Zike and Ning Zihe, so Luo Xiangqin still paid some attention to it.
At this time, in the Ning family village, Old Man Ning and several of his sons were leading the farmers from Shangshui Village to work in the fields. Several people were pulling pears in front and turning over the soil very quickly.
Old Man Ning immediately said, "Tangtang's method is still the best. Although the cow pearing method is also fast, the cow is not obedient and is relatively slow. Nowadays, people pear the land and can pear nearly five acres in just half a day."
Ning Xiaotang was in Luo Xiangqin's yard. She looked up and asked, "Quanyue, I asked Ling Zhi to go to Ningxiahe Village to transport corn seeds. Is he going to arrive soon?"
Quan Yue immediately bowed and said, "Miss, old lady, Ling Zhi should be here today, or tomorrow at the latest."
"Okay, okay!" Luo Xiangqin immediately smiled happily.
She knew that after the corn was planted, Ning Xiaotang would earn a considerable income.
Ning Xiaotang immediately said, "Sister Yilan, Sister Douqin, please choose a few more patterns. Once we make the spring clothes, we can wear them when autumn arrives. It won't be wasted!"
Chen Yilan immediately came over and said, "No need, I'll just make two sets. I have a few more sets in my bag that I can change into."
Zheng Douqin was also very polite and made two sets but was unwilling to add more.
Ning Xiaotang had no choice but to whisper to the person who was measuring her, "Based on the measurements of these two sisters, and Huashi, we need to make six sets for each of them. Only two sets are not enough for replacement."
Chen Yilan and Zheng Douqin left without knowing it.
Luo Xiangqin immediately smiled and said, "Tangtang has done her best for her friends."
