At this point, the two of them had reached an agreement.
Before waiting for Su Lan to come back, Li Yuan went to the embroidery room to see the progress of the wedding dress.
The embroidery room in Su Mansion was open. Before entering, Li Yuan glanced at the people in the room and looked at Su Mingshan in surprise.
"Sister Su, aren't there three embroiderers in your house? How can I see that there are six people in there now?"
She prepared three red envelopes, so if there were six people, she would be three short.
"Afraid of running out of time, I looked for a few more."
When Li Yuan heard this, she said oh, then turned her back and took out three purses from the space while reaching for something in her sleeve pocket.
This purse was given to her by the shopkeeper as a gift when she was shopping at the embroidery shop. Five of them were given in total.
Now there was one penny in each purse, which she originally planned to give to Li Lin and Li Shu's children after she returned.
But she could only use it now, and she would give it to Hongshou directly when she got back.
Anyway, it was her feelings for her two cousins' children.
No matter whether it is in the form of red paper or a wallet.
I guess as long as it’s money, the children will be happy.
Su Mingshan watched helplessly as Li Yuan took out three purses, opened them, poured out the broken silver inside, then untied the money bag hanging at her waist and took out a ten-tael silver note.
"Sister Su, I want to break this banknote. I wonder if the accountant in your house can help me exchange it for ten silver ingots?"
Su Mingshan saw her coming, saw the unexpected extra embroiderer, and then took out her money bag and banknotes, and immediately understood what she was going to do.
She immediately pushed the silver note back and said, "If you are giving red seals to the embroiderers, forget it. Before I invited them, I paid half of the silver in high amounts and gave the rest after the work was done. As for the embroiderer, it was agreed in advance. If you really want to be lucky, just give her one penny as you did just now."
Usually, when the family rewards their servants, they will just give them a few tens of taels of cash, as if they only give small pieces of silver.
Even if there is a reward, it will be given to the big girl and capable mother-in-law around you.
"One denarius, is that appropriate?"
Li Yuan thought of the novels she once read, and the rewards given by wealthy families were a few taels or even ten taels.
Will her money be too little, and the other party will look down on her? While she will lose face to Su Mingshan, they will also not pay attention to her wedding dress?
"What's inappropriate? One penny is a lot of money! Sister Li, you have to know that the first-class girl next to me only costs six cents a month. The second-class girl costs five cents a month. The third-class girl costs four cents a month. Money. For girls and mothers-in-law, it is three coins of silver. Of course, people like my Qing Aunt are not included. She has been with my mother for many years and brought me to school. This is a special case."
"Embroiderers rely on their craftsmanship to earn a living. In addition to giving them five taels of silver every month, I also settle wages based on the quantity of clothes and whether the style is good-looking. Compared with the embroidery girls in embroidery shops outside, They are very comfortable. They don't have to work day and night to make clothes, and they have a fixed income. Once they make clothes for their masters, they have to calculate extra money. If they want to make more money, they can also go to embroidery shops to do work. The money they earn belongs to themselves, and the government will not care about it."
When Li Yuan heard this, she didn't insist anymore and stuffed the original broken silver back into her purse, and then took out the red envelope she had prepared.
After thinking about it, she felt something was wrong.
Since they are all the same, why are they divided into two different ones?
Therefore, she could only go back with Su Mingshan, put the broken silver into a red envelope made of red paper, and then go to the embroidery room again.
When she entered the embroidery room, the embroidery lady steward saw her, put down her needle and thread, stood up and came over to greet her.
"Ms. Li, the red satin embroidered shoes, red trousers and red hijab are ready. Only the wedding dress is left. I have been working hard these days and I hope they can be out before tomorrow. Do you want to try on the shoes and trousers first? Let’s see if there’s anything wrong with it, so we can make changes.”
Li Yuan was in a hurry to get married, so the wedding dress was not too complicated.
But this is a large piece after all, and many parts need to be embroidered stitch by stitch. Therefore, even if there are six embroiderers, the only things they can make now are red hijabs and embroidered shoes.
As for the clothes, six embroiderers are now working together to help.
She knew that in ancient times, a good wedding dress usually took about a year from drawing and designing, to completing the embroidery, and then sewing it into clothes.
So, in fact, she only needs to be almost the same, um, or in other words, red clothes.
But after hearing what the embroiderer said, she nodded and handed out six identical red envelopes.
"Okay, let me try!"
The embroiderer in charge didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise. She reached out to take the red envelope and quickly distributed it to the other embroiderers before taking out the shoes, trousers and hijab that had already been made.
Caiwei and Qingsha heard somewhere that she was in the embroidery room, so the two sisters dragged Qingmei over.
When they saw Li Yuan wearing red satin embroidered shoes and trousers under her wedding dress, they all stood there in a daze.
Qingmei looked at Li Yuan with satisfaction, then looked at the two dumbfounded sisters, and asked softly: "Don't your mothers look good dressed like this? Why don't you say anything?"
Caiwei felt disappointed. Only then did she truly feel that her mother was going to get married, and she would no longer be just her mother.
Although her uncle Xie was very kind to her and her sister, she always felt like her mother was about to be taken away.
Little Qingsha didn't understand that much yet, she just thought her mother was too pretty.
But after she came to her senses, she saw her sister's eyes flashing with tears and not speaking, so she didn't dare to speak out.
Li Yuan knew Caiwei very well. Seeing her like this, she quickly changed out of her wedding shoes and pants, bent down to look at her level, and then asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable?"
Caiwei nodded honestly: "Mom, after you get married, you will be more than just mine and Shasha's mother!"
Li Yuan reached out and touched the back of her head and comforted her: "Don't think nonsense at such a young age! Regardless of whether I marry someone or not, you will all live with me. No matter who I marry, you are all my children. That's it. , will never change!”
Although this was true, Caiwei felt very awkward and she couldn't explain why.
So after hearing Li Yuan's words, she simply lowered her head and remained silent.
Seeing this, Su Mingshan thought thoughtfully for a while and said to Li Yuan: "Sister Li, when you go back, Aunt Qing and I will go back with you. We will come back after attending your wedding. As for Caiwei , just live with us first, do you think that’s okay?”
Before Li Yuan could say anything, Caiwei nodded: "Okay, I'll live with Master first."
Seeing this, Qingmei whispered to Li Yuan: "The child may not have realized it before. When I saw someone embroidering a wedding dress here, and then saw you trying this on, I realized it all at once. It's a bit hard to get around. It will be fine in two days." Now, Miss and I will try to enlighten her more in the past few days, so she won’t be in the way."
