Chapter 498: The origin of the veil

So he hurriedly said: "Little sister, my wife has prepared wine and food, so I'm waiting for you, little sister!"
After Gui Dongmei listened, she only felt that her waist and poles stood up. She didn't expect that she would be attracted by a lady when she came to town. Although her family may not be very good, she was surrounded by so many maids and women. Mother, it should not be too bad!
If you have a good relationship, maybe it will be useful to you in the future!
Gui Dongmei thought this way, with a rare smug smile on her face: "Okay! Let's go then!"
Anyway, Li Fan didn't know when he would be back, he was still a little hungry, so let's just eat and wait!
Let the maid take a look for herself.
Under the guidance of that maid, Gui Dongmei entered the mountains of the flowers. As soon as I entered, I saw the lady sitting on the ground in front of a round table. The table was filled with delicious food, which Gui Dongmei had never seen before.
The gluttons in her stomach were a little hooked, Gui Dongmei swallowed unconsciously.
"Little girl, are you here?" When Mrs. Jiang saw Gui Dongmei coming, there was an intriguing smile on her face.
Gui Dongmei hummed unceremoniously, glanced around, and saw that the maids and grandmothers who were following this lady were scattered beside the round table, holding a pair of chopsticks. When it comes to food, let these maids come and serve.
Gui Dongmei is a little surprised, she has so much attention to eat this meal!
This is still an ordinary lady, if this is the richest, it's worth it.
Before Mrs. Jiang had invited Gui Dongmei to sit down, Gui Dongmei sat down rudely, just across from Mrs. Jiang. Looking at the table full of dazzling, delicious dishes, Gui Dongmei held up his chopsticks. She ate without asking Mrs. Jiang.
Madam Jiang frowned invisibly when she saw this little girl who didn't know the manners at all.
"Little girl, when I passed by just now, I heard you say, do you know the boss Li Fanli of Jinfulou?" Madam Jiang asked.
Seeing this lady suddenly asked about her relationship with Boss Li, Gui Dongmei seemed to understand something in her heart.
This lady wouldn't be looking at herself and Boss Li, and deliberately come to strike up a conversation with herself, so that when the time comes, she will have friendship with Boss Li too!
"Not only do I know Boss Li, I am also Boss Li's savior's sister! Don't have any other thoughts, Boss Li is not known to everyone, you, just die early! Boss Li Anyone will see it!" Gui Dongmei looked disdainful.
Listening to Gui Dongmei's words, Mother Leng beside Madam Jiang yelled: "Bold! You girl, don't look at who is sitting in front of you! How dare to be so rude!"
When she was outside just now, Mother Leng wanted to give Gui Dongmei a lesson. It was just that if she was a teacher and a girl in public, she was afraid that she would be seen by others.
After finally holding back the breath, the lady kindly invited this girl to dinner. Mother Leng was originally curious about how this girl who didn't speak manners would be invited in. But the lady seemed to have some plans in her heart, so Mother Leng didn't say anything!
However, from the very beginning, this girl had a sullen look on her face. She didn't even say hello, and she went straight to the table without the owner's permission. She grabbed the chopsticks and ate herself.

Anyhow, Madam still didn't move a bit!
Seeing Madam Leng's anger, Madam Jiang waved her hand. Seeing Madam Leng like this, Madam Jiang understood what she meant, bending over and stepped back two steps.
Gui Dongmei was a little stunned at first, she didn't expect an old maid who had never known her to dare to teach herself?
Gui Dongmei went crazy at the time, stood up, and yelled: "You old witch, how dare you scold me? It wasn't your wife who invited me to come, I won't come. I care who you are, offended me At that time, let Boss Li drive you all out, so don’t even think about coming to eat in the future."
Madam Jiang's eyes instantly turned cold.
Gui Dongmei spoke anxiously just now, some saliva spurted out from the corner of her mouth, she quickly reached out and took out the veil from her sleeve and wiped her mouth.
The veil in Gui Dongmei's hand was completely displayed in front of Madam Jiang.
That veil is made of Yunsi brocade, which she specially ordered in Ruyi Building. If this fabric is not ordered at a high price, I am afraid that all of it will be in the palace.
Originally, Yunsi Brocade was rare in a year, this material is extremely precious.
Mrs. Jiang finally ordered some Yunsijin at a high price, but unfortunately, this year’s output was not a lot, and the bulk of it had already been sent to the palace. She only grabbed a little scraps, let alone making clothes. I can barely make a bellyband.
It's just that such precious and cherished materials are too wasteful to be used to make apron.
Madam Jiang couldn't do it, and following the advice of the lady on the first floor, she cut this small piece of silk brocade into a veil.
With this piece of cloth, the proprietress of Ruyilou personally cut out eight pieces of this small piece of cloth without any waste.
Then four of them were embroidered with the patterns of the four gentlemen of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, and the other four were embroidered with the four festive patterns of Fu Lu Shou Xi.
Moreover, in order to prove the difference from other veils, the proprietress of Ruyilou, reinforced with gold thread on the top of this pattern, can faintly see the grace and luxury of gold thread
These eight veils, plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum are fresh and elegant, and are festive and dignified.
Just for these eight veils, Mrs. Jiang spent a lot of money, a total of four hundred taels of silver, one of them is fifty taels!
That's a sky-high price!
Mrs. Jiang loved these veils so much. She originally thought that if she visited the capital next time, she planned to bring a set. Keep the plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum for yourself. It's just that I haven't started using it yet, so I'm missing a veil.
I originally thought that someone in the house who was not afraid of death had stolen it, but now it seems that the veil was not stolen by the maid, but the girl in front of me who didn't know the height of the sky.
The maids and mothers on the side also saw the veil with their own eyes, which was obviously the one lost by the lady.
At that time, for this veil, the wife almost didn't turn over the entire Jiang Mansion.
