Early the next morning, Shen Zhonglei sent someone to give Shen Tianshu a thousand taels of silver notes in his courtyard.
"Girl, what do you mean by this?"
Shen Tianshu looked at the thousand taels of silver notes on the table and said, "It means Ping Niang is smarter than I thought."
She handed the banknote to Nanny Yang and said: "Take this money and find someone to make some clothes for Shen Yunhui and two sets of hair and facial hair. This time, I will take her to Prince Rui's Mansion."
In the afternoon of that day, Shen Tianshu made an appointment with Zhao Junrong and Shen Yunhui to go out together.
Before going out, Zhao Junrong came to Shen Tianshu in advance and muttered: "Hasn't the third girl of your family always been the follower of the second girl? Now that the second girl has been fined and grounded, why doesn't she follow? Why should we take her with us when we go out? ."
"I took her out today specifically, and you were the one taken along." Shen Tianshu deliberately teased her, "Are you still going?"
"Of course you go!" Zhao Junrong didn't believe that he was the one being taken along. "As long as Sister Shen goes, I will definitely go. I am your follower."
"Why are you so cute with your mouth?" Shen Tianshu reached out and pinched Zhao Junrong's little face.
Zhao Junrong originally thought that Shen Tianshu was just joking, but unexpectedly the three of them went straight to Xiangshunfang to tailor Shen Yunhui's clothes.
"I usually go to Shuangqingfang, but the orders there have been queued up until the first month of the year. I really can't get in, so I have to bring you to Xiangshunfang. However, the masters and embroiderers here are also very good at their craftsmanship. They don't dare to mess with the orders in our house, so just don't worry."
Shen Yunhui was confused and whispered: "Sister, have you made a mistake? How can you bring me to make clothes?"
"On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I'm going to a banquet at Prince Rui's Mansion. If I don't want to make clothes, why don't you wear old clothes?"
"Rui, Prince Rui's Mansion?" Shen Yunhui was dumbfounded. "Why, don't you know about this?"
Of course, it is impossible for Shen Yunhui not to know about this. She had already heard about it yesterday, but if Shen Yunyao goes there, she might be taken along with her.
And Shen Tianshu...
She had followed Shen Yunyao a lot in the past to bully Shen Tianshu.
At this time, I heard that Shen Tianshu was willing to take her there and also pay to make clothes and jewelry for her. I was so flattered that I didn't care whether it was Shuangqingfang or Xiangshunfang.
What's more, Xiangshunfang is an embroidery workshop with a good reputation in Yongzhou Prefecture.
After Shen Tianshu entered the room, he began to pull various clothing materials and compare them with Shen Yunhui.
Shen Yunhui is thirteen years old this year. Although she is not short in stature, her face still looks like that of a child. Her eyebrows are very similar to those of Ping Niang. Although she is not stunning, she is very attractive.
"I think this cherry red material is good. Yunhui is young and has fair skin, so she can handle this color." Shen Tianshu compared the color and turned to ask Zhao Junrong for his opinion.
Zhao Junrong didn't expect that he would really be a companion this time. Although he didn't understand why Shen Tianshu did this, he still helped the staff member and said: "This is good. I think this goose yellow one is also good-looking."
"Then these two materials, and this lilac-colored one are also good, do you like it?" Shen Tianshu asked Shen Yunhui with the materials, "Then use this crow-green one to make a cloak, and wear it brighter underneath. , how about if the color outside is a little more stable, press it down a little bit?"
"Sister, you don't need so much." Shen Yunhui waved her hands repeatedly. She didn't have that much money to make clothes.
"You don't need to spend any money, just tell me whether you like it or not." Seeing Shen Yunhui's expression of not daring to make up her mind, Shen Tianshu simply stopped asking her and gave her everything. Matched well.
After leaving Xiangshunfang, the three of them went to Yongjia Silver Building.
In the evening, Shen Yunhui returned home dizzy with several orders in hand.
Ping Niang was making clothes for Shen Yunhui in the room, using the same materials that Shen Tianshu sent last time. When she saw her coming back, she put down her needlework and came over to greet her.
"Girl is back. Where did you and the eldest girl go this afternoon? Why are your eyes so straight when you look at me? Are you tired?"
Shen Yunhui looked up at Ping Niang in confusion and said, "In the afternoon, the eldest sister took me to the embroidery workshop and then to the silver house. She made me new clothes and jewelry. She said she would take me to Prince Rui's Mansion on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."
"Really?" Ping Niang couldn't believe her ears, "The elder girl really said that?"
"Well..." Shen Yunhui handed several bills that she had been holding in her hand to Ping Niang, "Sister spent two to three hundred taels of silver in one afternoon, and I can't stop her."
Shen Yunhui's mind is very confused now. Although she has no ill intentions towards Shen Tianshu, she often does bad things to Shen Tianshu in order to please Shen Yunyao.
But how could Shen Tianshu still be so kind to her?
"Auntie, does the eldest sister want me to make a fool of myself in Prince Rui's Mansion to take revenge on me?" Shen Yunhui looked up with horror on her face, "I won't go, I don't want to go!"
Ping Niang couldn't laugh or cry. She naturally understood that Shen Tianshu was reciprocating the favor, but she didn't expect that she only helped a little, and that the other party would have such a good opportunity when he took action.
"What are you talking about, girl? If I want to take revenge on you, you were kidnapped before. As long as the eldest girl was not so anxious to save people, wouldn't you have been harmed by the gangsters a long time ago? There is no need to spend money on you. Making clothes and jewelry? Besides, what kind of place is Prince Rui's Mansion? You are all daughters of the Shen family. If something happens to you, what will happen to the eldest girl? "
Ping Niang stretched out her hand and gently pushed aside the strands of hair from Shen Yunhui's forehead.
"The girl will be fourteen after the Chinese New Year. Although she is not in a hurry to get married, it is always a good thing to go out and see more of the world. The eldest girl is here to support you! When we come back to Prince Rui's Mansion, the girl must not be willful and listen to everything. The eldest girl will not harm you if you give her orders."
"Okay!" Shen Yunhui said this, but she was actually a little uneasy in her heart. "If the second sister finds out about this matter, there will definitely be trouble. At the end of the day, I probably won't be able to go either."
"Don't worry so much about this. Since the big girl wants to take you there, she must have her own way."
Ping Niang comforted Shen Yunhui, prepared the money according to the amount on the list, and personally delivered it to Shen Tianshu after dinner.
"The fact that the eldest girl is willing to support us girls is already a blessing. How can we let the eldest girl spend money!"
"I didn't pay for this money in the first place. It was all money from my father. Yunhui is also my father's daughter. There's nothing I can do about it."
Ping Niang thanked her profusely and said a lot of good things. Before she left, she suddenly thought of something and said, "There is one thing that you may not know yet. The master forbids the madam to add money to the Xu family. The madam is planning to sell it secretly recently." I lost one of my shops and exchanged it for money so that I could spend it. Master Fang hurried back to the Xu family."
Seeing that Pingniang had begun to take the initiative to reveal the Xu family's movements, Grandma Yang said happily: "Bringing the third girl to Prince Rui's Mansion will gain Pingniang's surrender, which is not a loss at all."
Shen Tianshu said calmly: "It's not really a surrender, it's just reciprocation and everyone gets what they need."
