Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

Chapter 136 Clothes

"Although Wei Dianyi is only a few years older than Shenshen, she is already a female official of the Clothing Department. Today, I dare to call you Sister Wei. The two ladies should be about the same age as Shenshen. Miss Shen Er is too unfamiliar. The three of you can call Shenshen."

"Sister Shenshen, you're welcome." Wei Dianyi smiled even more.

"You're so polite." The two female historians called Ms. Zhao and Ms. Qin respectively and returned the greetings.

"If you and the ladies are not in a hurry to return to the palace, please have some tea and rest first."

"Sister, you don't have to be so polite. I just had a drink with Madam Shen. I see you can't sit still. Let's get started. The sooner you drink, the sooner you can rest."

"Thank you for your understanding, sister." Shen Shenshen bowed.

The three of them started to measure the size of clothes for Shen Shen. It must be said that the craftsmanship in the palace is really one in a hundred. It is estimated that apart from the Jiangnan Weaving Department, the craftsmanship of several female officials in the Palace Clothing Department is excellent.

Wei Dianyi and the two ladies Zhao and Qin discussed the patterns and colors of clothes with Shen Shenshen, and were amazed at Shen Shenshen's ingenuity and bold color matching. At first, the three of them just asked about the patterns, styles and colors that Miss Shen liked as a "routine", and then made clothes according to her preferences after recording them back in the palace. Unexpectedly, Miss Shen had a unique insight into the style and color matching of clothes, which gave the three of them a lot of inspiration. The more the four of them talked, the more speculative they got. Wei Dianyi and the other two also felt that they had met Shen Shenshen too late.

"Sister Shenshen has quite some insights into clothing making. This makes me a little curious about how she could have such a bold and different idea."

"It's mainly because my sister, Ms. Zhao and Ms. Qin are so amazing. They gave Shenshen a lot of ideas. The three of you have been tired for a while, so take a break and have some Qinghua Xiaoyuan's unique snacks."

At this time, Lu Hen came into the house carrying a tray with three plates of beautiful snacks on it. The snacks were carefully painted with dresses, hairpins and sachets, and they were lifelike. Wei Dianyi and the other two loved them so much that they were reluctant to eat them.

"Sisters and ladies, please try this. We asked the chef to prepare this carefully yesterday." Shen Shenshen was very enthusiastic.

I picked up the snack and bit it open carefully to taste it. It tasted like red bean paste, but the difference was that there were a lot of osmanthus flowers in the filling. After chewing it, my mouth was full of the rich fragrance of osmanthus.

Lu Hen took the opportunity to step forward and bowed twice, explaining, "Three ladies, osmanthus flowers come from the osmanthus tree in the young lady's yard. The maids picked a lot of them this morning, washed them, and steamed them for the cook to add to the stuffing. It's very delicious. Try the honey water soaked with the remaining steamed osmanthus flowers. It goes very well with this osmanthus treasure clothes cake."

"Osmanthus flower treasure clothes cake?"

"It was the young lady who gave it the name, and she specially thanked the three ladies for the gift of the precious robe."

"The gods are thoughtful."

Wei Dianyi and the two female historians were quite touched. This second Miss Shen was indeed very thoughtful and had put a lot of thought into them, which was more thoughtful than just giving them gold and silver. The three of them were often rewarded and bribed by the ladies in the palace, just to wear unique clothes to attract the attention of the handsome middle-aged emperor. There was no other way, because the queen was so beautiful that she couldn't compete with her in appearance, so she could only compete with the novelty of her clothes.

However, the "intentions" that moved the three Miss Shen Er were actually that Miss Shen Er was unwilling to spend a penny and just wanted to "get free" clothes from the palace. After Ziyuan left yesterday, she racked her brains to think of how to make the three return to the palace happily without spending a penny.

Now, Osmanthus Baoyi Cake was born.

"My sister and the ladies are happy to use the gods. Luhen, give the remaining bags to my sister and the ladies to take back to the palace."

"God, there's no need to be so..."

"Sister." Shen Shenshen said sincerely: "When you go out of the palace to visit the Marquis' Mansion, you must bring some gifts back to the palace. Bring some snacks to your colleagues, no, bring some snacks to other female officials, so that everyone can share them together and say a few words of praise to Shen Shen."

The three of them were holding several large bags of secret snacks given by Shenshen, and the one or two taels of silver given to each of them by Madam Shen, and they were contentedly boarding the carriage back to the palace. They all reached a consensus in their hearts: if Miss Shen of the Marquis's Mansion asked them to make clothes again in the future, they would definitely come again.

After sending off the three palace ladies, Shen Shenshen lay back on the bed and breathed a sigh of relief. She was both happy and proud. She was happy that she could wear the beautiful clothes made by the palace clothing department. It was always pleasant to have new clothes. She was proud that she didn't spend a penny, but just some osmanthus cakes, and it was done.

Xiao Shen is really clever. I will show off to Xiao Zhu when he comes to see me later today.

In the gradually cool breeze of Juyue, Shen Shenshen's injuries recovered quickly. After five days, he could lie flat to sleep or sit for a while.

That day, Lian He came to the Qinghua Garden and said happily, "Second Miss, the new clothes tailored for you by the clothing department have been delivered today. Go to the front yard and take a look. Madam is entertaining the lady who delivered the clothes."

"It's done so quickly? Sister Wei is really amazing."

Shen Shen was overjoyed. Just as she was about to go out with Lian He, she remembered something and said to Lu Hen, "Go and get some more dried osmanthus flowers that I dried myself these few days, and some oolong tea. Um...are there any snacks left from the small kitchen that were made this morning? If there are any, take them all."

"Okay, there are still some snacks. I will prepare them now."

"Please wait for a moment, Sister Lianhe."

"Miss, you're welcome. It's alright."

Miss Shen, who was still unwilling to spend an extra penny, prepared the gifts thoughtfully and came to Madam Shen's main courtyard.

"Mother." Shen Shenshen came to the main courtyard to meet Madam Shen yesterday. Madam Shen was relieved to see that she was in high spirits.

"God is here. Go and see the new clothes that the two ladies in the palace clothing department have made for you. Even your mother is jealous."

Seeing Miss Shen Er enter the room, the two ladies had already stood up to greet them. Shen Shen hurriedly stepped forward and held their hands cordially.

"Miss Zhao, Miss Qin, please send some clothes from the palace."

Ms. Zhao narrowed her eyes and smiled, saying quickly, "Second Miss Shen. Wei Dianyi wanted to come with her, but the clothes ideas that Second Miss Shen proposed last time were loved by the ladies in the palace after Wei Dianyi brought them back. There were too many ladies making clothes for her, and she couldn't spare the time to leave the palace."

Ms. Qin was calmer and smiled, "Arnold, let Miss Shen take a look at the new clothes made by the clothing department first."

"Oh, Arnold has forgotten the main thing. Miss Shen, please try it quickly."

"How can I not trust the craftsmanship of the two ladies and Wei Dianyi?" After saying that, he looked at the clothes on the coffee table.

The dresses were neatly stacked, and on the top was a wide-sleeved jacket with osmanthus lace embroidered on the lapel as decoration, and the collar went all the way to the hem. The color was based on Shen Shenshen's suggestion, with osmanthus patterns embroidered on the lace, and the base color was goose yellow. The jacket was made of grass green, which was very eye-catching, and it was paired with a moon-white silk skirt embroidered with osmanthus.

Shen Shenshen unfolded it and everyone exclaimed in amazement. Mrs. Shen couldn't help but lean forward to take a closer look. She tried it on her body and felt that it fit her well.

Ms. Zhao and Ms. Qin smiled at each other, and they both read from each other's eyes: they were indeed amazed at the craftsmanship of Siyi Si.

The second outfit was a round-neck, double-breasted, narrow-sleeved long gown with a horse-faced skirt. The narrow sleeves made Shen Shenshen look more energetic and neat, while the long gown made her more elegant. The long gown was the azure color that Shen Shenshen specifically requested. At that time, Wei Dianyi thought that azure was mostly used for men's clothing, so he suggested that she change to a brighter color. Shen Shenshen blushed and said so.

"Sister Wei, sky blue is Prince Zhu's favorite color."

I didn't expect that the second Miss Shen would be so straightforward. Wei Dianyi immediately felt that the two of them were even closer. Because the narrow-sleeved long gown was made of sky blue brocade, the horse-faced skirt was made of sky blue, and the bottom of the skirt was embroidered with exquisite koi carp playing in the water using gold and silver threads. The "golden horse-faced" made the bottom of the skirt extremely gorgeous, and when she walked, she looked gorgeous and dignified.

Shen Shen had already figured out her little plan. The azure long gown was the best match for the azure headband that Ziyuan gave her. The key point was that she and Ziyuan could wear couple outfits. Hehe, the noble ladies in the capital would be jealous.

The last outfit was a luxurious paddy field gown. It was made of purple, blue, cyan, pink and other colors of brocade. Not only were the colors extremely complex, but each piece of fabric was also embroidered with various patterns of flowers, birds, fish and insects, and the embroidery was exquisite. It was paired with a long skirt made of tea-white pleated silk cloth.

There are three sets of clothes, each one more exquisite than the other, worthy of the palace's craftsmanship.
