Bei Yutang winked at Hongmei, who immediately lifted the cloth cover, and two trays filled with gorgeous brocade clothes appeared in front of Lin.
When Lin saw those clothes, her eyes lit up.
Bei Yutang picked up a piece of clothing from the tray and placed it in front of Lin, gesturing, "This emerald green color looks most youthful and noble on you, mother-in-law."
Hongmei followed suit, saying, "That's right. The old lady will definitely catch everyone's eye when she goes out in this dress. This Shu brocade silk is the tribute from the palace this year, and a single piece costs over a hundred taels of silver. Even if you have money, you can't buy it."
"This piece of cloth was only obtained by Miss through many connections, but it cost several hundred taels of silver."
When Lin heard this, her heart ached. That was several hundred taels of silver.
Bei Yutang smiled and said, "As long as mother-in-law looks good and feels comfortable in her clothes, this hundred taels of silver will be worth spending."
Lin finally smiled, and the smile grew wider and wider.
Humph, she is sensible. She knows that she has made her unhappy and knows how to please her.
Lu He then said, "When the old lady goes out wearing this dress, I guarantee that everyone around her will envy her."
"You two put it on your mother-in-law and let her try it on."
Lin put on the clothes reluctantly. To be honest, she looked a bit out of place after putting them on, and the luxury of the clothes could not be suppressed at all, but Lin herself could not see it at all.
Hongmei praised exaggeratedly, "When the old lady wears this dress, she looks just like the old lady in the opera, so noble and majestic."
Luhe echoed from the side.
Lin listened to their compliments and smiled so hard that her mouth couldn't close.
"Does it really look good?" Although Lin asked this, her eyes and expression showed that she was very satisfied with the clothes.
"It looks good. When I first saw the color of this cloth, I knew it would suit my mother-in-law best. Seeing it today, I realized I was right." Bei Yutang said with a smile.
Lin looked left and right at the person in the mirror.
"Mother-in-law, here are a few more clothes. Try them on. If they don't fit, you can alter them."
Lin looked at the clothes, all of which were made of silk. They felt smooth and delicate when touched by the hand, and it was obvious that they were very expensive.
The next day, Lin went out to visit friends and relatives wearing the silk dress and showed off in front of the neighbors.
"Hey, Lin, the clothes you are wearing are made of silk, right?" A woman's eyes lit up when she saw Lin's clothes.
Lin raised her chin slightly, "Of course. This is, this is..."
"What is it?" the people around asked suspiciously.
Lin thought for a long time and finally remembered, "I remember now. It's that Shu brocade. This is the fabric used by the ladies in the palace. A piece of it costs several hundred taels. Even if you have silver, you may not be able to buy it."
After she said this, the women around her looked at her with envy and jealousy.
Lin looked at them and felt proud, thinking that she was particularly proud today.
After showing off here, Lin went to show off in another place, and received the envy and jealous gazes of all the women around her throughout the whole day.
The next day, when Lin changed into a silk dress and went out, she was again praised and envied by the women around her. Lin felt very proud in the face of such compliments.
