Chapter 90 Mrs. Yun was ashamed.
Wei Ruo sneered in her heart, then raised her head, pretending not to hear the underlying meaning of Mrs. Yun's words, and smiled and said to Mrs. Yun:
"Is mother going to make clothes for me? Since I returned home to now , this is the first time my mother wants to make clothes for me. What clothes are you going to make this time? Winter is coming soon, so the clothes should be thicker, right?" Wei Ruo asked several
questions in succession. Yun looked at her clearly With bright eyes, the words she prepared were a bit unspeakable.
Wei Ruo continued: "Although those clothes were new when I first returned home, they should have been made according to the figure of sister Qingwan. I guess my mother didn't know my figure, so she could only make them according to the figure of sister Qingwan." Let me measure it. This time I want to make clothes, so I have to ask the master to measure me properly."
Hearing this, Mrs. Yun couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. At that time, she really didn't know the height of her biological daughter who was far away in Huzhou Prefecture. It was difficult to decide on clothes, so I took the new clothes I had made for Wanwan years ago and had not yet worn yet, and took them to Tingsongyuan to prepare them for Ruoer.
But later I saw that Ruo'er was wearing those clothes gracefully, gracefully and delicately, and could hardly see anything that didn't fit her, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with her.
In previous years, the government would make clothes twice a year, but during the war in the middle of this year, she had to worry about her husband on the front line being busy with things at home and not taking care of it, so she did not arrange to make clothes.
After all, Ruo'er has not made any clothes according to her figure since she returned home.
Yunshi said with a somewhat guilty tone: "That's right, I will definitely measure it carefully."
Then when Yunshi looked at the Yun Brocade in front of Wei Ruo, her expression was a little hesitant.
But after thinking for a while, he decided to speak: "Ruo'er, the material of these two pieces of cloud brocade is very good. How about using these materials to make you new clothes? The material is expensive and the colors are beautiful. You are wearing this The clothes made of the material will be more respectable when they go to the city. When the government has good materials, mother will replenish them for you." "What mother means is
that if it hadn't happened that Miss Xie's family had sent me these cloud brocades, our school captain would I won’t be able to go to Fucheng to attend the garden party next month?” Wei Ruo asked.
"That's not what it means to be a mother. If you don't have it, that's fine. If you happen to have it, that's the icing on the cake." Yun said.
"If you want to use cloud brocade to make clothes, you can just make it for me." Wei Ruodao.
Yun frowned: "Ruo'er, You and Qingwan are sisters. Wanwan has always cared about you and thought of you no matter what. You should also show your demeanor as the eldest sister. The Xie family has taken so many My mother doesn’t want anything else from you. Just these two pieces of cloud brocade with different patterns. You two sisters can make one for each of you. Besides, this is what my mother borrowed from you. I will definitely return it to you when I have good materials." Wei Ruo said on her face
. The smile did not fade, and he explained in a leisurely manner: "Mother doesn't know something. The reason why Miss Xie chose to give me two pieces of cloud brocade satin was because she saw that the clothes I usually wear are made of different materials than hers. And since the clothes don’t fit perfectly and were specially given as a gift, she must hope that I can wear the clothes made of the material she gave me, right?”
Hearing this, Mrs. Yun couldn’t help but feel nervous.
Wei Ruoze continued: "This piece of cloud brocade is enough to make one dress, but it is not enough to make two. The materials for these two styles were all selected by Yingying herself. She must have wanted to see me. Wear both kinds."
After Wei Ruo said this, Yun could no longer ask for Yun brocade satin to make clothes for Wei Qingwan. In addition, as Wei Ruo said before, the house had indeed not made Wei Ruo a separate dress. The clothes made Yun couldn't help but feel guilty, and she completely gave up the idea of using Yun brocade to make Wei Qingwan a new set of clothes.
But Yun immediately thought that if Ruo'er made a new dress made of Yun brocade and Wanwan didn't, Wanwan would be sad.
So he looked at the things in front of Wei Ruo, thought about it and said: "If the cloud brocade is not good, Ruo'er picks out some items that you can't use for Wanwan, just to appease Wanwan. Then when we go to Fucheng, the two of you will wear There is a difference, and she will inevitably feel uncomfortable in her heart." Wei Ruo still had a slight smile on her face:
"My mother doesn't know something. I am now on good terms with Miss Xie. If she gives me a gift, I can't let her take it lightly. I will definitely reciprocate the gift later. Otherwise, if I just accept the other person's gift but don't know how to reciprocate, when the time comes, It’s not only my face that is lost, but also the face of the entire school captain’s house. Does mother want to hear outsiders say that my Wei family has no etiquette and only thinks about the benefits of other people’s families?” “Even if outsiders don’t gossip, if I
always If I reach out to take the benefits given by the Xie family, but don't know how to express gratitude in return, I will be looked down upon by the Xie family sooner or later. How can they be on good terms with me then? Did my mother say that?" Yun was dumbfounded
.
Wei Ruo continued: "Giving gifts must cost money, and it needs to be quite a lot. It can't be much lighter than what the Xie family gave me. But I only have so much money every month, so it's hard to get enough money." I will give gifts to the Xie family in return. Some of the gifts I received are not of use to me. They are common ones that are difficult to recognize. I will pick them out someday and sell the ones that can be resold in exchange for money so that I can give the gifts back to Miss Xie’s family. ."
When Xiumei came back after moving her things, she heard that her young lady was telling lies.
How could the young lady sell the gifts given to her by others? If she had no money, she would definitely find other ways to earn money.
Yun said: "But it's not a good idea to sell gifts given by others in exchange for money. If people find out, they will be laughed at." Wei Ruo: "
Then where does mother think I am going to get this money?"
Yunshi was speechless again.
Wei Ruodao: "I also hope that my mother will understand my difficulties. I have just returned home not long ago, and I have no foundation and no savings. When I interact with other ladies, I will inevitably have to give something away, and I have to save some money of my own. "
When Wei Ruo said this, Yun felt quite uncomfortable. Ruo'er has only been back home for a few months, and these things are indeed a bit difficult for her. It is already very difficult for her to be able to do what she is doing now.
The daughter's situation is difficult, and the school captain's mansion is also short of money now, and it cannot give out too much money for her daughter to buy and give away as generously as Miss Xie's family.
"Now that I know about it, I'll pretend that I didn't say anything about it. You should handle these gifts yourself," said Yun.
After saying that, he thought of something again. After thinking for a while, he said: "Speaking of Ruo'er, you are the eldest daughter in the family, your monthly salary should be increased." "Isn't that bad? If my monthly salary is increased,
then What should I do about sister Qingwan?" Wei Ruo asked.
