Chapter 93 Instructions
Lin Xiuxiu glared at Jiang Mingyue.
"What are you looking at? Did I say something wrong?"
Although he is domineering, his confidence is obviously lacking.
Jiang Mingyue calmly lowered her head and continued to put on her wedding dress.
"Your parents must love you very much!"
Lin Xiuxiu couldn't help but frown.
"What do you mean?"
"The clothes your mother is wearing are made of low-grade cotton and are defective. You can buy three feet of them for only twelve pennies.
Her clothes cost no more than twenty-five pennies to make, while the clothes you are wearing are made of medium-grade cotton, costing nine pennies per square foot, so a dress costs at least sixty pennies. "
Lin Xiuxiu was stunned for a moment when she heard this. She had never paid attention to this before.
"I see that your skin is delicate and you only have a thin layer of calluses on your hands, while your mother's skin is dark, presumably due to exposure to the wind and sun, and the calluses on her hands are very thick, presumably from working every day. "
Jiang Mingyue looked at Lin Xiuxiu who was deep in thought and continued: "Your mother should be a frugal and hard-working person.
Such a mother who is not willing to give up food and clothing, but is willing to spend three taels of silver to buy a wedding dress for her daughter, just so that her daughter can look beautiful on the wedding day, is enough to show that they love you very much. "
Jiang Mingyue put on Lin Xiuxiu's clothes, pulled her in front of the mirror and said, "Parents have far-reaching plans for their beloved son. I believe that the husband they chose for you must have been chosen after they carefully selected and inquired about it." It’s settled.
Everyone in this world may harm you, but they will not. I know you like Brother Xie. If I agree to him taking you as my concubine, have you ever thought about your future life? "
Lin Xiuxiu turned to look at Jiang Mingyue blankly.
"As a concubine, you have to serve your mistress, and you are no different from a maid. The child you give birth to can only call you aunt, but in this life, you will not be able to call you mother in a dignified way.
Children born from concubines are called concubines or concubines, and they are always inferior to legitimate children. Whether they divide the family property or get married in the future, they are all at the mercy of the mistress. It is better if the mistress is kind, but if she is sweet-faced and bitter-hearted Yes, a concubine will only be a tool for marriage, and a concubine is even less likely to survive. "
Looking into Jiang Mingyue's murderous eyes, the weather was obviously very hot, but Lin Xiuxiu shuddered.
Her words were like a bucket of cold water that instantly woke up Lin Xiuxiu.
Seeing that she had realized something, Jiang Mingyue said, "You look very beautiful in this wedding dress. I'll call my aunt in. She will be very happy to see how beautiful you are."
Lin Xiuxiu glanced at the person leaving, straightened her head and looked at herself in the mirror, but what she was thinking about was what Jiang Mingyue said just now.
Lin Qian walked in after a while. She looked at her daughter standing in front of the mirror and smiled lovingly.
"My Xiuxiu is so beautiful today."
Lin Xiuxiu turned around and looked at her mother, who had gray hair, dark skin, and washed-white clothes, and her eyes instantly turned red.
"Auntie, I'm sorry!"
Jiang Mingyue, who was standing outside the door, heard the conversation between the two and quietly walked to a shady place to sit down without going in.
After burning incense, the mother and daughter walked out with the wedding dress. Jiang Mingyue glanced at their red eyes, pretending that she saw nothing, took the wedding dress from their hands and said, "I'm sure I want this." ?"
"want!"
"do not want!"
This time it was Lin Xiuxiu who said no.
"Let's buy the one that costs more than one tael."
"Xiu Xiu!" Lin Qian looked at her daughter and hesitated to speak.
Lin Xiuxiu patted her hand gently.
"Auntie, just listen to me! The wedding dress is only for one day, and there will be many people on the day of the wedding. If I buy this dress, if someone touches my hair then, I will be heartbroken!"
When Lin Qianshi heard this and thought of that scene, she shook her head hurriedly.
"Sure, I'll listen to you."
She looked at Jiang Mingyue with some embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, miss, we want the one we just had."
Jiang Mingyue smiled softly.
"It's ok!"
She led the two of them into the side room again, picked up another wedding dress, looked at Lin Xiuxiu and asked, "Do you still want to try it on?"
Lin Xiuxiu shook her head.
Jiang Mingyue wrapped her wedding clothes and said, "Come with me!"
Jiang Mingyue waited for Lin Qianshi to pay at the counter, then took a red silk flower and handed it to Lin Xiuxiu.
"congratulations!"
Lin Xiuxiu accepted the silk flower, her thin lips trembled slightly, and she said in a low and inaudible voice, "Thank you!"
Looking at the two people leaving, Jiang Mingyue smiled in a good mood, not because she had solved a love rival, but because of Lin Xiuxiu's attitude. She could think about it and let go. Jiang Mingyue believed that her future life would not be too bad. .
"Sister Mingyue, come and help me."
Jiang Mingyue regained her concentration and saw that Zhang Shanshan had cut another foot of cloth and said hurriedly: "Here we come!"
Zhang Shanshan is very smart and learns things quickly. She started to receive customers as early as three days ago. The only thing is that she can't cut the cloth well. Every time she cuts it damaged or skewed.
Even if Jiang Mingyue and others took turns teaching her, it would still be the same. She took the scissors from Zhang Shanshan and cut the cloth. After sending the guests away, she said, "If this continues, your monthly payment will have to be deducted."
Zhang Shanshan sighed in frustration and said, "I don't know why I just can't cut it properly."
Jiang Mingyue thought for a while and said, "There are some pieces of cloth in the warehouse. You can pick some big ones and practice more in private."
"it is good!"
While the two were talking, Yu Gen drove the carriage past Jinxiufang. Jiang Minghong was afraid that his sister would notice them and urged: "Hurry up!"
When Yu Gen heard this, he whipped his whip on the horse's back, and the horse rushed out instantly.
A few moments later, in Zaolin Alley, Yu Gen drove the carriage directly into Xie's house.
Jiang Minghong jumped off the carriage, looked at Xie Yuan who came out of the study and said, "Brother-in-law, he is seriously injured. Please take a look at him first."
Xie Yuan saw Yu Gen hugging the person out directly, and glanced at the unconscious person. He was so young, looking one or two years younger than him.
"follow me!"
Xie Yuan led them to the east room in the backyard. After Yu Gen put the young man down, he sat down and took his pulse.
Jiang Minghong and Xie Yuan checked Mao Zijun's pulse and said, "Not only did he have four fatal wounds on his body, he was also poisoned."
Xie Yuan said "Hmm", unbuttoned the man's clothes, checked his injuries, and led the two of them out.
"I can't cure the poison on his body. I need to ask Uncle Luan to come over."
Jiang Minghong heard this and said, "I'll go and invite you."
He paused and added.
"Those people should not track us here for the time being."
Xie Yuan nodded.
"You can grab some more medicine and come back."
Originally, he had brought back a lot of medicine from the drug store at noon, but after checking the young man's injuries, he knew that the medicine was not enough.
"Sure! Write down the name of the medicine."
Xie Yuan walked into the study and wrote down the name of the medicine and handed it to Jiang Minghong.
After Jiang Minghong walked a few steps, he suddenly remembered something and turned around to look at Yu Gen and ordered: "Rinse the carriage clean and come back and I will check."
"Yes!"
In the kitchen, while Xie Yuan was cooking medicine, he glanced at Yu Gen, who was carefully rinsing the carriage. His condition was much better than when he first arrived.
