Chapter 48 Letter
After spending a few days, Shen Hua filled the house with everything to make it look luxurious. Yi Cui and Cheng's mother ran out all day long, and even if they were out, they were still preparing to give Shen Hua a good New Year.
Fortunately, it was convenient to buy an ox cart. The sisters-in-law in the alley saw Cheng Gui busy pulling cart after cart of New Year's goods to the pear garden.
"Ms. Shen is really willing to give up. I just took a look and saw a cart full of supplements."
Sister-in-law Wang: "She is pregnant, so she should eat better. A few days ago, I ran into Mrs. Shen sitting in the courtyard. You didn't see it. Her little face was as white as if she had fetal force."
As she spoke, she sighed deeply: "Her husband is gone, and it is taboo to eat meat during the mourning period, but if the adults don't take it, how can the children not take it? Not to mention taking some supplements, if you ask me, if Mrs. Shen stews chicken soup and drinks it, So should."
She began to feel guilty again: "It's my fault too, because last time I gave you dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork."
No wonder, the entourage would ask what kind of stuffing it is.
It was her small-mindedness that made her resentful.
Shen Hua had just taken a medicinal bath and was currently lying on the bed. The room was lit by charcoal fire, and she was covered with a thick brocade quilt. She had always been afraid of the cold, and her face was flushed with warmth.
"Lady!"
The little maid Ningzhu trotted in from outside.
She was young, so Mother Cheng and Yi Cui left her to serve Shen Hua.
Ningzhu closed the door to block the biting cold wind, shook the snow off her body, and waited for her body to feel warm before running forward with the package in her arms.
"This is a letter from Manager Sun, and a fur muff made by Aunt Liu herself."
Shen Hua half stood up and opened the package.
Aunt Liu has a pair of skillful hands. When Shen Chun was still here, the amount of cloth she sent every year was sufficient. Aunt Liu would make clothes for Shen Zhen with her own hands, and she would also make a few pieces for Shen Hua from time to time.
The hand cover is embroidered with beautiful magnolia flowers and is the most common orange-red fox fur.
Aunt Liu doesn't have much savings, so for her, this is the best new year gift she can give Shen Hua.
Shen Hua, who has always been picky, said, "Why am I missing these things? Aunt Liu is just messing around."
Ningzhu hadn't figured out Shen Hua's temper yet, so she just thought she was angry when she heard this.
Also, even the curtain hanging on the lady's couch is a lake-colored autumn silk gauze curtain. In comparison, the hand cover is really too shabby.
The little maid was nervous, but also afraid of Shen Hua's anger.
But the next moment, Shen Hua put it on in front of her and looked at it thoughtfully for a long time.
His tone was disgusting: "I can barely do it."
Just as he was talking, Shen Hua ordered: "Give me the letter."
Ningzhu hurriedly offered it.
Shen Hua looked at it slowly, with a smile on her lips.
"The letter said that after Mrs. Shen Xue returned from prison, she was probably frightened and fell seriously ill. She has not recovered yet."
Ningzhu smiled immediately after hearing this: "This is a great joy."
"That's not all."
Manager Sun actually knew what would make Shen Hua happy.
Shen Hua raised her little finger and said, "Xue Muliang, that lecherous man, is in ruins."
I lost all face and looked like a rat crossing the street. Since that day, I haven't gone out again.
What is the difference between a son who has lost his descendants and a father-in-law in the palace? Mr. Xue feels dirty at the first glance. Mrs. Xue, who loves him the most, never sees Xue Muliang. She chants sutras all day long in the hope that she will be pregnant. The concubine had a male fetus in her belly.
Shen Hua looked down and couldn't help but sit up straighter.
"Shen Qu personally went to Magistrate Liu to apologize."
The daughter of the county magistrate had to rush to get the wedding dress she requested for her wedding. A large number of old embroiderers left, so it was natural that the work could not be completed in time.
It is a happy event for County Magistrate Liu to marry his daughter. As the wedding day is approaching, if this happens, will he look good when meeting Shen Qu?
There are twists and turns on the way, which is very unfortunate!
After County Magistrate Liu handled the Dong family case, his reputation increased. Officials who had colluded with the magistrate were targeted by the Yushitai one after another. Now that he was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the spring breeze was a happy one, but Shen Qu came to be troubled.
Shen Hua was delighted: "My cheap stepbrother has lost a lot of money and is like a grandson in front of County Magistrate Liu."
However, Shen Qu was somewhat capable. Afterwards, he went around recruiting embroiderers. After a lot of effort, he also acquired many embroiderers from rival embroidery shops at high prices.
It can be considered that the current level has been passed.
But so what?
How long can Shen Qu be smooth?
Manager Sun specifically mentioned it at the end of the letter, telling Shen Hua not to worry.
To complete a piece of embroidery, the more delicate the workmanship, the longer it takes. It is normal for one or two years. The embroidery workshop has to deliver a batch of goods in late summer after the year.
A layman may just buy a signboard from Shenjia Embroidery Shop. How can he tell the difference?
But the experts know much better.
Not to mention, one of the items in this batch was a birthday gift from the fourth prince to his biological mother, Concubine Jing.
If Concubine Jing is dissatisfied, Shen Qu will not be as simple as being a grandson anymore, this will be a mess.
Shen Hua is looking forward to it.
She carefully folded the letter and prepared dinner to read it again. She could use an extra bowl of rice.
Happy National Day!
Chapter completed!
