Wei Ruo let out a sneer in his heart, then raised his head, pretending not to hear the meaning of Yunâs words, smiled and said to Yun:
âIs my mother going to make clothes for me? Itâs the first time since I came back home that my mother wants to make clothes for me. What kind of clothes are you going to make this time? Itâs going to be winter soon, so the clothes should be thicker, right?â
Wei Ruo asked several questions one after another, Yun looked into her clear and bright eyes, and was a little at a loss for what she was about to say.
Wei Ruo continued: âWhen I first returned home, although those clothes were new, they should have been made according to the figure of Qingwan sister. Presumably my mother didnât know my height, so she could only match the figure of Qingwan sister. I need to measure it. This time I will make clothes, so I have to ask the master to measure it for me.â
Hearing this, Mrs. Yun couldnât help feeling a little ashamed. At that time, she really didnât know the stature of her biological daughter who was far away in Huzhou Prefecture, and it was difficult to judge the clothes, so she took the new clothes that she made for Wanwan years ago and hadnât worn them yet. I went to Tingsongyuan and prepared it for Ruoâer.
But later, seeing that Ruoâer was wearing those clothes gracefully, gracefully, gracefully and gracefully, and there was hardly any incongruity that could be seen, so she didnât think there was any problem.
In the past, the mansion would make clothes twice a year, but in the middle of this year, there was a war, and she had to worry about her husband who was on the front line and was busy with family affairs.
After all the calculations, Ruoer has not made clothes according to her stature since she returned home.
Yun said with a guilty tone: âThatâs what it should be, and it will definitely be measured.â
Then when Yun looked at the brocade in front of Wei Ruo, he hesitated.
But after thinking about it for a while, I decided to say: âRuoâer, the material of these two pieces of cloud brocade is very good, why donât you use this material to make new clothes for you? The material is expensive and the color is beautiful. You wear this Clothes made of material are more decent when you go to Fucheng. Mother will make up for you when there is good material in the house.â
âWhat does mother mean, if Miss Xieâs family didnât happen to send me these cloud brocades, our Captainâs Mansion wonât be able to go to Fucheng to participate in the garden party next month?â Wei Ruo asked.
âBeing a mother doesnât mean that. Itâs okay if you donât have one, but if you happen to have one, then itâs a good thing that is icing on the cake.â Yun said.
âIf you want to use cloud brocade to make clothes, itâs only for me.â Wei Ruo said.
Yun frowned: âRuoâer, you and Qingwan are sisters. Wanwan has always cared about you and thinks of you in everything. You should also show your demeanor as the elder sister. The Xie family took so many Here comes the gift, mother doesnât want anything else from you, just these two pieces of cloud brocade with different patterns, you two sisters make a whole. And this is what mother borrowed from you, when you get good material, you will definitely return it.â
The smile on Wei Ruoâs face didnât fade, and he explained unhurriedly: âMother doesnât know, the reason why Miss Xieâs family chose to give me two bolts of cloud brocade satin is because of the comparison between the material of the clothes I usually wear and hers. Itâs a lot worse, and the clothes donât fit very well, so she gave them specially, so she must hope that I can wear the clothes she gave me, right?â
Hearing this, Yunâs heart tightened.
Wei Ruo continued: âThis piece of cloud brocade is too much to make one suit, but it is not enough to make two suits. The materials of these two styles were all chosen by Yingying herself, so she must want to see my clothes. Wear both.â
After Wei Ruo said this, Yun couldnât continue to ask for Yun brocade and satin to make clothes for Wei Qingwan. In addition, Wei Ruo said that the mansion hadnât tailored clothes for Wei Ruo alone, so Yun couldnât help but Feeling guilty, she completely gave up the idea of using cloud brocade to make Wei Qingwan a new set of clothes.
But Yun immediately thought that if Ruoer made the new clothes of Yun brocade and Wanwan didnât, Wanwan would be sad.
So he looked at the things in front of Wei Ruo, and after thinking about it, he said: âIf the cloud brocade is not good enough, Ruoâer picks some things that you donât need for Wanwan, so it should be used to appease Wanwan. When you go to Fucheng, the two of you will wear If there is a difference, it is inevitable that she will feel bad.â
Wei Ruo still had a faint smile on his face:
âMother doesnât know something. Now that I am on good terms with Miss Xieâs family, if she gives me a gift, I canât let her take it lightly. I will definitely return the gift later. Otherwise, I just accept the other partyâs gift but donât know how to return it. When the time comes Itâs not just my own face thatâs lost, but also the face of the whole school captainâs mansion. Could it be that mother wants to hear outsiders say that my Wei family doesnât know how to behave, and only wants to benefit from other peopleâs family?â
âEven if outsiders donât gossip, if I always reach out to take the benefits from Xieâs family, but donât know how to appreciate them in return, then sooner or later I will be looked down upon by Xieâs family. How can they befriend me? Mother said, right? ?â
Yunâs dumbfounded.
Wei Ruo continued: âIt must cost money to give a gift, and it needs to be a lot. It canât be much lighter than what the Xie family gave me. But my monthly money is so much, it is difficult to get enough money Those who returned gifts to the Xie family, some of the gifts I received, some I donât need, and the common ones are not easy to be recognized. I will pick them out another day, sell the ones that can be resold, and exchange them for silver to return the gift to Miss Xieâs family. .â
Xiumei moved her things in and came back when she heard her young lady opening her eyes and talking nonsense.
How could it be possible for Miss to sell the gifts that others gave her? If there is no money, Miss must find other ways to earn money.
Yun said: âBut this method of selling gifts from others in exchange for money is not very good. If people find out, they will be laughed at.â
Wei Ruo: âThen where does mother think my money will come from?â
Yun Shi was dumb again.
Wei Ruodao: âI also hope that my mother will understand my difficulties. I have just returned to the residence not long ago. I donât have any foundation, and I donât have any savings. When I communicate with other ladies, I will inevitably have to give some things, and I need some personal savings. â
After Wei Ruo said this, Yun felt quite uncomfortable. Ruoâer has only been back home for a few months, these things are really difficult for her, it is not easy for her to do what she is doing now.
The situation of the daughter is difficult, and the Captainâs Mansion is also in a state of lack of money, and there is no way to give out too much money for the daughter to let the daughter buy things like Miss Xieâs family.
âMy mother knows about it, so I will treat it as if my mother never said anything about it. You should handle these gifts yourself,â Yun said.
After finishing speaking, he thought of something else, and after thinking about it for a while, he said, âSpeaking of which, if you are the eldest daughter in your family, your monthly payment should go up.â
âThatâs not good, if my monthly payment is increased, what will Sister Qingwan do?â Wei Ruo asked.
