Chapter 28: Gold and Silver

She pointed to one of the pieces of tencel brocade and said, “This is fine.”

That is a horse lotus green material, generally speaking, the daughter of the girl, most will not choose this material. Because of the lotus green color picking people, ordinary girls wear this color, easy to look too old-fashioned. If there is no body noble, wear this color will appear to pressure, very ugly.

Chen Ruoqiu’s gaze flickered slightly and laughed, “How did Xiao Wu pick such a dark color, girls have to wear bright and shiny clothes, such as your two sisters. Such a dark color is afraid to be old-fashioned.”

“Not bad.” Ren Wanyun followed suit. Although she was also happy to see people from the big house make a fool of themselves, but this lotus green color, it was too much out of the ordinary. If outsiders saw it, they would think that all the girls in their Shen family were old-fashioned, Qing’er still had to show off her skills at the Chrysanthemum Banquet, how could she be dragged down by Shen Miao?

Shen Yue and Shen Qing were secretly laughing. Shen Qing said: ”I see that this lotus green color is also quite good, isn’t it true that fifth sister has never worn such a dark color? It’s good to try, I heard that this color is also very expensive.”

“If I hadn’t already picked out the material, I would have definitely tried that lotus green color.” Shen Yue said with a smiling face.

Li Niang looked at the two first daughters of the Shen family’s honey-tongued first daughters, and then looked at the calm Shen Miao, and sighed in her heart. Shen’s first daughter Shen Miao, the first daughter of the Shen family’s eldest house Shen Xin, was stupid and ignorant, and no one in Dingjing City knew about it. But who knew that the appearance of good and gentle two cousins actually also have such a malicious heart? Even is also changing ways to let Shen Miao make a fool of herself.

She has some sympathy for Shen Miao, General Shen outside to protect the country, but his first daughter in the house by relatives counting, is really some pity. Thinking about this, she politely said: “this lotus green color is indeed a little too solemn, if it is a chrysanthemum feast, may as well choose some relaxing colors, miss not if you choose this one jade white?”

Shen Miao glanced at Liniang, she is a rare honest person. In his previous life, he had also reminded himself of this, but at that time Shen Miao was determined to believe in the two cousins and aunt, and simply did not listen to her words. She said, but also politely thanked, “No need, I like this lotus green colored material.”

She replied in this way, but taught the two people, Shen Qing and Shen Yue, who had just furrowed their brows, to breathe a sigh of relief. Shen Yue laughed: “Fifth sister’s vision is really good, in that case, I will trouble Lady Li to measure us.”

Liniang sighed slightly in her heart, but she could not say anything else. Then she followed the instructions to measure the bodies of several young ladies.

From the beginning to the end, Old Lady Shen reclined on the couch and closed her eyes to fake sleep, as if she hadn’t heard about everything in front of her. As long as it’s about silver, she’s never happy to pretend she doesn’t know. Today’s dressmaking and fabrics are all from the public, and the public’s silver is handed over to Ren Wan Yun to take care of.

After the clothes were measured and Li Niang left. Only then did Renanyun smile and say, “Several children are big girls now, and the girls of our Shen House can’t be underestimated when they go out. I then played some jewelry for a few girls, to be available on the day of the chrysanthemum feast.” Said, she ordered behind the fragrant orchid to put a few boxes out, one for Shen Qing, one for Shen Miao.

Shen Miao’s box heavy, Ren Wan Yun looked at her, the tone of love: “Aunt see you busy these days GuangWenTang’s school preparation, their own shopping jewelry store when you play, are in accordance with the best style, just hope you like.”

On the high seat, Old Lady Shen’s brow furrowed as if she wanted to open her eyes, yet after a pause, she ultimately continued to fake sleep.

“Thank you Auntie,” Shen Miao also returned the salute. Shen Qing and Shen Yue can pick their own style hit sent back, favoring the store did not bring her, but also said in the name of not wanting to disturb, and finally lapped up a gift, and now want to change it is too late.

“Then let’s go back and take a look,” Shen Yue pulled Chen Ruoqiu and winked at Shen Miao, “Fifth sister’s jewelry must be the heaviest one.”

Shen Miao smiled faintly and did not say anything.

Back to the west courtyard, Shen Miao threw the box to the side, did not look at it. Sting saw this and wondered, “The girl does not open it?”

“What’s there to see? What’s the difference between horizontal and vertical?” Shen Miao replied without looking back.

Stinging want to speak and stop, every time from the two houses three houses side of the jewelry, their own girls are in love with, but even from them as a subordinate to see out, that jewelry is really some of the profiteering. Shen Miao has been brought into a pompous nature by the second and third houses, and loves these rather vulgar gold and silver.

Shen Miao thought about it and reached over to open that box again.

Just open, is the golden light came. Inside are placed in gold and silver bracelets and collars, and even hairpins, on top of the rubies set with the head is big, but the color is very poor quality.

Sting couldn’t help but show a hint of anger.

Shen Miao nearly lost her smile. These things, before she got married, her jewelry was like this. Such a gold hairpin and silver collar, that is, the countryside girls will not wear. Every time she wore colorful clothes and then wore those golden jewelry, it was like a moving box. In front of the gentle and graceful Shen Yue and the generous and bright Shen Qing, she was really like a foot-washing maid.

Now these things in front of falling to Shen Miao, only feel really ridiculous. Sting observed his own girl, surprised to find that she did not reveal the same excitement as before. Being surprised, then see Shen Miao will box a closed, pushed to sting: “find a pawnshop to pawn it, by the way to buy a silver hairpin back, do not have to be too good, carved flowers on the line.”

“The girl ……” Surprised, “Pawn it like this, if it is discovered by the people in the East Courtyard, it will inevitably be used as a raft.” Although she was also very happy that Shen Miao finally did not love these gold and silver as much as before, but acting like this, it was still a little too bold.

“These jewelry since they can no longer wear, what’s the use of keeping it, it is better to pawn real money, it is always easier to do things on weekdays.” Shen Miao faintly replied. Everything should be practical, this is the reasoning she realized when she was the Empress. Shen House monthly is according to the share of the monthly silver, each girl is a month two silver. However, Shen Yue and Shen Qing exactly how much is subsidized by the family? Shen Miao does not know, but one thing is certain, she is not subsidized.

She was clearly a girl from the general’s residence, but she was not as generous as her two sisters. She used to think it was because the second and third aunts were willing to subsidize their daughters, but now?

The money in that public is held by Ren Wan Yun, but Shen Gui and Shen Wan usually work up and down in the imperial court, and their own salaries are still not enough, where is the extra free money.

On the contrary, Shen Xin, because it is with their own lives and blood and sweat in the battlefield gallop, his majesty rewarded more, and these rewards, Shen Xin has never swallowed, all served to the public.

Taking their family’s silver but treating themselves like this, such a shameless person, only the old lady’s family could do it.

She’s always going to have to find a way to split the family.
