The next morning, the materials arrived.
Mrs. Shen touched the material and was very satisfied. "I didn't expect that the silk is from Jinyu. This is a discharge-dyed printed silk with rich and bright colors and delicate patterns. It's really good stuff."
"Yes, in the past, when I went to Shengxiangzhai, I had to queue up for such good things and it took several months to get one. Now I have all kinds of colors at home."
Aunt Rong picked up the purple material that my wife liked, "Madam, this purple is so beautiful, noble and dignified."
Mrs. Shen's eyes lit up. "Such a bright color can only be dyed by Shen Xiangzhai. For a cheongsam, the fabric, style, decoration, cutting, and sewing are all essential, and the most important thing is the fabric. Although there are some ready-made clothes everywhere, the mass-produced ones are not as beautiful as the tailor-made ones."
"I'd rather ask Master Chen to make it for my wife. His craftsmanship is unmatched by anyone else."
Aunt Rong put away the gifts one by one, "Young Madam sent gifts to each room, Second Auntie also sent some to her sickbed, Jingyu and Auntie Wu also received some, but none of them are as valuable as Madam's."
Mrs. Shen nodded, "She is sensible and will not lose her point."
"Yes," Aunt Rong continued, "everyone in the house has one, except the one in the backyard."
"As a woman, which one can accept another woman for her husband, not to mention her status? It's good enough to let Manrou live."
"I heard that the young mistress is not living with the young master yet."
"Hmph," Mrs. Shen said unhappily, "He's really too angry. It's been almost a month, and he still hasn't calmed down."
"Young Master has been trying hard to coax her these days, but the two of them have been living separately, not like a married couple."
Aunt Rong said, "Women, if they don't sleep with men, their hearts are not secure... The young mistress has money and connections, and she is the eldest daughter of the Governor's Mansion. If she is on the same page with the young master, she will definitely pave the way for him wholeheartedly in the future."
That makes sense.
Originally, Mrs. Shen was not in a hurry and just let the two of them cultivate their relationship.
These days, Su Jinyu has been stubborn and arrogant. In addition, regarding Zhou Lao's gift, he gave away Yan Lugong's calligraphy as a gift. No one in Qianjiang can match his handicraft.
If Su Jinyu and Jing An were on the same page, the calligraphy might have been given to the Shen family, and the Zhou family would have nothing to do with it.
This matter cannot be delayed any longer.
If it is delayed any longer, there is no telling how much wealth Su Jinyu will lose.
"It's just that it's hard to mix up what these two people are doing in the bedroom."
Aunt Rong whispered something in her ear.
Mrs. Shen heard this and laughed, "You old shameless... But this is also a method. We are husband and wife, just treat it as a hobby. But this can't happen at home. It's hard to get rid of her personal guards and maids."
“That’s easy.”
Aunt Rong gave her an idea.
While the two were plotting, Auntie 꺘 walked into the small building in the backyard with exquisite materials in her hand.
It is two stories high, with a living room and kitchen on the first floor and two bedrooms on the second floor.
It was neither big nor small, and could be considered luxurious for ordinary people, but the Shen Mansion was extremely simple. The room was not even as big as the one lived in by Aunt Rong, who lived next to Mrs. Shen.
Aunt 꺘 opened the door.
Wang Manrou was arranging flowers. "Aunt, I picked the roses from the yard. There are still dew on them."
"Are you still in the mood for flower arrangement?"
"What can I do? Apart from the girl who cooks, no one comes here." Wang Manrou turned around and said with a smile, "No, there is also my dear aunt, remember me"
Looking at the beautiful woman in front of her, the concubine put the material on the bed and said, "You are such a beautiful woman, you can't waste your time in this damn place."
Wang Manrou poured her a cup of tea, her face full of bitterness, "My wife doesn't allow me to enter the main building, and someone is watching me when I go out, for fear that I will bump into that woman."
"You," Auntie 꺘 said, "Now, Su Jinyu is still angry, the two of them live separately, once they get along well, you will be forgotten completely."
"Now, Jing An definitely has you in his heart. You are his first woman, and he must be paying attention to you. He just doesn't come to you because of Su Jinyu..."
Wang Manrou thought about the man's indifference, "Su Jinyu is still angry, he doesn't dare to come to me"
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I don’t dare.
That man wanted a future and also wanted to be embraced.
Auntie 꺘 pointed at Jin Bu and said, "It was sent by Su Jinyu's famous sage. Jing An must coax and pamper such a god of wealth."
"But a man would be exhausted by such a woman... You also have a gentleness and care that she can't match. You have to find a way to get Jing An to come to you..."
Wang Manrou looked at the empty and simple house, and knew in her heart that waiting any longer was not a solution.
"Aunt, do you have any idea?"
Aunt 꺘 said, "I will try to find an opportunity... You will be responsible for dressing up well and thinking seriously about how to capture a man's heart."
At this time, Jinfeng Tower.
Su Jinyu looked at the letter spread out in front of her. It was written to her by Aunt Wu, who had taken care of her since she was a child.
My wet nurse was a servant girl from my maternal grandfather’s Wu family, her name was Wu Hui.
The slave system was abolished in the early years of the Republic of China and people gained freedom.
But she had a sisterly relationship with her mother and took care of her until she passed away.
When she was 18, Aunt Wu followed her into the Governor's Mansion and accompanied her through the difficult years. She did not return to her hometown until she came of age and took over the management of the Governor's Mansion.
Now that I know she is married, I come to see her.
In her previous life, more than a month after they got married, Aunt Wu came to visit her at the Shen Mansion. Seeing that she looked depressed and her period was late, she suspected that she was pregnant.
She was not willing to accept this child and got very angry.
Later, Aunt Wu learned about the wedding and hugged her and cried all night.
Aunt Wu always treated her as her own child, and in order to protect her, she was framed by Wang Manrou.
Su Jinyu read the letter and felt very hesitant.
She didn't know if she could change the fate of everyone in her previous life, including herself.
In this life, should I pull Aunt Wu into this vortex?
Qingru stood beside her, very happy, "Aunt Wu is coming to see you, that's great, I haven't eaten the fish dumplings made by Aunt Wu for a long time... The fish dumplings sold outside are not as good as Aunt Wu's, and there are also lotus-flavored roasted wheat cakes..."
He swallowed his saliva as he spoke.
Su Jinyu laughed out loud, and the worries in her mind disappeared. "Aunt Wu likes to play with flowers and plants. Find an empty room with plenty of sunlight, put some potted plants in the room, make it well ventilated, and have a bed..."
"Miss, don't worry, I will make Aunt Wu's room beautiful," Qingru smiled and held up the sunscreen stick, "I'm counting on Aunt Wu to be in a good mood and make me something delicious."
“You just know how to eat”
"Eating is a major matter in life. Miss, your appetite has not been very good recently. When Aunt Wu comes, she will definitely help you gain weight."
“…”
After Su Jinyu got married, she did lose some weight, and she felt disgusted by the group of monsters in the Shen family every day.
"Miss, why don't we go to a authentic restaurant to eat?"
