Chapter 240 Waiting for trouble, the appearance of cloth
The seventh lady took them to the glazed courtyard, which is usually used to receive guests in the back house, so every room in this courtyard is covered with carved beams and painted buildings, which looks particularly luxurious. Leng Xuanrong never had the opportunity to come here in his previous life. This time, he couldn't help but be amazed.
In the main hall, the women have already sat down according to their own identities. They talked to each other softly, which seemed to be harmonious and cheerful. When Leng Xuanrong saw this scene, she couldn't help thinking that if the same number of women in Kunyan County had gathered here, the roof would have been lifted by their laughter. There are countless etiquettes followed by the ladies in the imperial city. As long as there is a little disgruity, they will definitely become the laughingstock of everyone.
As soon as the figure of Leng Xuanrong and his party appeared, the room suddenly calmed down. The seventh lady held hands and pulled Miss Dou San into the room and raised her voice, "When I went to pick up Miss He, I happened to meet Miss Dou San and said a few words, but I didn't expect it to be late. Don't blame me." After saying that, she smiled and gave a slight salute around.
Miss Dou San pretended to be angry and shook off Mrs. Seven's hand and said, "Look at what Mrs. Seven said, isn't it to let them all blame me? Anyway, I will be the shield of the seventh lady today. In case of making a mistake when picking materials, the seventh lady can't blame me.
All the women covered their faces and smiled when they heard the words. All of them are shrewd. They have a clear idea of Miss Dou's identity and the momentum of Mrs. Seven's favor now. Not to mention that these two people are a little late, even if they are an hour or two late, they still have to wait here. What's more, they came here today to meet the future wife of the eldest son. At the same time, they can also see what their attitude towards the young lady who came from afar in the inner house of the Prime Minister's mansion.
When Mrs. Seven and Miss Dou San sat down, He Ruiping and Leng Xuanrong walked to the door.
When Leng Xuanrong was about to enter the door, He Ruiping pulled her sleeve quietly, and then stared at her fiercely, thinking to her, what is your identity? How dare you go ahead of the door than me? Back off!
Leng Xuanrong saw the meaning in He Ruiping's eyes and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and smile. Her body tilted to the side, and her feet slanted two steps like stepping on cotton. Then Leng Xuanrong's whole body pounced on the mahogany carved door frame.
The two of them were originally going side by side. He Ruiping just stared at Leng Xuanrong fiercely, and Leng Xuanrong fell aside. The sharp-eyed people in the room clearly pushed the little girl around her away in order to advance the house.
He Ruiping saw that Leng Xuanrong frowned and held the door frame as if it had hit somewhere, and then turned her head to look at the eyes gathered around. He Ruiping secretly shouted no, hurried over to help Leng Xuanrong and asked with concern, "What's wrong with Xuanrong sister?"
Leng Xuanrong waved her hand with a bitter smile and said in a voice that almost everyone could hear in the room, "My sister has just recovered, and there is no root under her feet. I can't help bumping... It's okay..."
He Ruiping hated it, but she still had to help Leng Xuanrong into the hall.
At this time, an elderly lady asked, "Is this the future young lady?" Who is the girl next to her?
When Leng Xuanrong heard this, she hurriedly stood up and saluted everyone deeply, and then whispered, "The little girl Leng Xuanrong is an old friend of Sister Ruiping when she was in Wuming County. This time, she came with Miss Dou San."
As soon as the name Leng Xuanrong came out, the expression on the faces of everyone here became a little subtle.
The poisoning of Leng Xuanrong is widely spread, and few of the women present have never heard of this name.
After self-introduction, Leng Xuanrong quietly retreated to Miss Dou San and sat down. Miss Dou San smiled and asked Leng Xuanrong softly, "Do you hurt?"
Leng Xuanrong saw that Miss Dou San's smile seemed to have a deep meaning. It seemed that she had recognized the intention of the fall just now. Miss Lao San has bothered me. I'm fine. After saying that, Leng Xuanrong didn't say anything.
The seventh lady took He Ruiping to meet the people in this room one by one. After worshipping in this circle, it also took a lot of time. When everyone saw it, Mrs. Seven asked her maids to call the shopkeepers of Buzhuang to show the cloth to everyone.
Leng Xuanrong looked at the cloth with everyone and thought to herself, Miss Dou San said that if I came with me, I might see interesting things. Could it be that the interesting thing she mentioned was that I met He Ruiping?
As soon as this doubt appeared in Leng Xuanrong's heart, Leng Xuanrong heard someone around him whisper, "How about this?" Another man said in a low voice, "No, it's inappropriate." After a while, someone asked, "How about this?" In addition, someone answered "inappable".
At this time, Leng Xuanrong noticed that although everyone was looking at the material, there was no one who really said "this material is very suitable". Everyone seemed to be watching the words. The attitude of the women from their own family seemed to play a decisive role, but at this time they did not make a decision.
Only then did Leng Xuanrong realize what Miss Dou San said about the interesting thing. She stared at He Ruiping.
Those who were summoned to the Prime Minister's mansion today are the most famous shopkeepers of Buzhuang in the imperial city, and the goods they took out are naturally rare good things outside the imperial city. Although He Ruiping was spoiled in Wuming County, the good things in the imperial city were enough to dazzle her. Looking at the piece of cloth, she was extremely happy. What everyone has carefully selected now is to be used for her in the future. This kind of appearance alone is enough for He Ruiping to be happy. However, she also found that these people picked around, and it seemed that none of them had been decided.
At this time, someone around him whispered, "Sister Ruiping, what do you think of this cloth?"
He Ruiping was shocked and turned her head to see that it was Leng Xuanrong who smiled at her with a piece of cloth.
He Ruiping wanted to stare at her and give her a few cold words, but the people around her were too close. He Ruiping had to pretend to be gentle again and take the cloth over with a smile.
Before looking at the material, He Ruiping was still angry, but when her eyes were on the material, her mood suddenly became cheerful.
This cloth is made of high-quality silk at first glance. It feels very well and has a smooth color. It is really a rare product. He Ruiping has grown so long and has enjoyed a lot of glory and wealth, but she has not worn clothes made of such fabric several times. The cloth is dyed with tender pink, which is He Ruiping's favorite. She can't put it down with the cloth and can't wait to tell the palm immediately that she wants this cloth!
But He Ruiping has not been carried away. She knew that she could not decide this matter, so she took the cloth to Lady Seven and whispered, "Mrs. Seven, what do you think of this material?"
The seventh lady took the material and frowned slightly. She showed the cloth to another woman beside her. The woman smiled and said something in the seventh lady's ear, and then the seventh lady turned her face and said to He Ruiping, "This material is really good, but it's a pity that the color is a little bright." After saying that, she casually threw the fabric aside and laughed with others.
He Ruiping looked at the fabric reluctantly and thought to himself, the color was bright? Is it possible to wear dark clothes in this prime minister's mansion in the future?
Just when He Ruiping was depressed, Leng Xuanrong came over with another piece of cloth.
"Can't that part work?" Leng Xuanrong whispered in surprise, and then handed the cloth in her hand to He Ruiping. After He Ruiping took over the cloth, Leng Xuanrong did not forget to comfort her thoughtfully, "Sister Ruiping, I haven't been in the imperial city for a long time. It's your first time to come to the imperial city. The two of us probably look at the woman here. They are all different. Don't care. With so many fabrics, you can always choose the right one.
After saying this, Leng Xuanrong went to the distance to see the cloth again. Her words reminded He Ruiping that although Leng Xuanrong was a village girl, she also lived in the imperial city before her family was in trouble. So, isn't she the only one from outside in this hall now?
After realizing this, He Ruiping looked at the women around her and seemed to become a little strange.
He Ruiping lowered her head and looked at the fabric in her hand. The texture was better than the one just now, but this piece was elegant snow blue, which looked much more energetic than the element just now.
He Ruiping came to Mrs. Seven again. She raised her hand and handed over the snow-blue material and asked softly, "What do you think of this piece?"
After taking over the material, the seventh lady frowned again. This time, she said to He Ruiping without discussing with the people around her, "This part doesn't work either."
After Mrs. Seven threw away the material, He Ruiping finally couldn't squeeze a smile on her face.
The women around her looked at the cloth in groups of laughter, and only He Ruiping was alone. She turned her head to look for Leng Xuanrong and found that even Leng Xuanrong in rags was surrounded by several young women from the prime minister's mansion.
He Ruiping tried her best to suppress her irritability. She sat down and poured a cup of tea for herself, but before she could drink the tea, she saw the cold Xuanrong coming over with another piece of cloth with a smile.
"Sister Ruiping, look at this. This time I can ask a few ladies of the Prime Minister's mansion first. They all said that this material is good..."
Without waiting for Leng Xuanrong to finish her words, He Ruiping got up and grabbed the cloth in Leng Xuanrong's hand, rushed to the seventh lady angrily, reached out and handed out the cloth, pressed her voice and asked, "How about Mrs. Seven?"
