Chapter 90 Yun's Shame
Wei Ruo let out a sneer in his heart, then raised his head, pretending not to hear the meaning of Yun's words, smiled and said to Yun:
"Is my mother going to make clothes for me? It's 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? It's going to be winter soon, so the clothes should be thicker, right?"
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: "When I first returned home, although those clothes were new, they should have been made according to the figure of Qingwan sister. Presumably my mother didn't 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.”
Hearing this, Mrs. Yun couldn't help feeling a little ashamed. At that time, she really didn't 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 hadn't worn them yet. I went to Tingsongyuan and prepared it for Ruo'er.
But later, seeing that Ruo'er was wearing those clothes gracefully, gracefully, gracefully and gracefully, and there was hardly any incongruity that could be seen, so she didn't 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: "That's what it should be, and it will definitely be measured."
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: "Ruo'er, the material of these two pieces of cloud brocade is very good, why don't 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."
"What does mother mean, if Miss Xie's family didn't happen to send me these cloud brocades, our Captain's Mansion won't be able to go to Fucheng to participate in the garden party next month?" Wei Ruo asked.
"Being a mother doesn't mean that. It's okay if you don't have one, but if you happen to have one, then it's a good thing that is icing on the cake." Yun said.
"If you want to use cloud brocade to make clothes, it's only for me." Wei Ruo said.
Yun frowned: "Ruo'er, 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 doesn't 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."
The smile on Wei Ruo's face didn't fade, and he explained unhurriedly: "Mother doesn't know, the reason why Miss Xie's 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. It's a lot worse, and the clothes don't fit very well, so she gave them specially, so she must hope that I can wear the clothes she gave me, right?"
Hearing this, Yun's heart tightened.
Wei Ruo continued: "This 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."
But Yun immediately thought that if Ruoer made the new clothes of Yun brocade and Wanwan didn't, Wanwan would be sad.
So he looked at the things in front of Wei Ruo, and after thinking about it, he said: "If the cloud brocade is not good enough, Ruo'er picks some things that you don't 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."
Wei Ruo still had a faint smile on his face:
"Mother doesn't know something. Now that I am on good terms with Miss Xie's family, if she gives me a gift, I can't let her take it lightly. I will definitely return the gift later. Otherwise, I just accept the other party's gift but don't know how to return it. When the time comes It's not just my own face that's lost, but also the face of the whole school captain's mansion. Could it be that mother wants to hear outsiders say that my Wei family doesn't know how to behave, and only wants to benefit from other people's family?"
"Even if outsiders don't gossip, if I always reach out to take the benefits from Xie's family, but don't know how to appreciate them in return, then sooner or later I will be looked down upon by Xie's family. How can they befriend me? Mother said, right? ?”
Yun's dumbfounded.
Wei Ruo continued: "It must cost money to give a gift, and it needs to be a lot. It can't 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 don’t 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 Xie’s family. .”
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: "But this method of selling gifts from others in exchange for money is not very good. If people find out, they will be laughed at."
Wei Ruo: "Then where does mother think my money will come from?"
Yun Shi was dumb again.
Wei Ruodao: "I also hope that my mother will understand my difficulties. I have just returned to the residence not long ago. I don't have any foundation, and I don't have any savings. When I communicate with other ladies, I will inevitably have to give some things, and I need some personal savings. "
After Wei Ruo said this, Yun felt quite uncomfortable. Ruo'er 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 Captain's 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 Xie's family.
"My mother knows about it, so I will treat it as if my mother never said anything about it. You should handle these gifts yourself," Yun said.
After finishing speaking, he thought of something else, and after thinking about it for a while, he said, "Speaking of which, if you are the eldest daughter in your family, your monthly payment should go up."
"That's not good, if my monthly payment is increased, what will Sister Qingwan do?" Wei Ruo asked.
