Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Chen Ruiwen smiled. He felt that Lin Wanru was very charming when she pursed her lips, and there was even a dimple the size of a rice grain at the corner of her mouth.

He couldn't help but look at it a few more times, which aroused Lin Wanru's curious eyes, he coughed and said: "If my cousin is idle and bored and wants to read some books, just ask someone to get them from my study, don't be polite. "

Lin Wanru responded with a smile and thanked him. Chen Ruiwen felt his heart go numb when he looked at it. Not only were there dimples at the corners of his mouth, but also his eyes and eyebrows were curved. How could he be so attractive? Chen Ruiwen didn't dare to look any more, feeling bored head all the way.

Mrs. Shen and Aunt Shen entered the kitchen, chatting and laughing while making snacks. After chatting until noon, they simply made a table of hometown dishes they loved when they were young. When they saw the two of them came back, they ate together.

The food in Suzhou is sweeter, Aunt Shen, Shen Shi and Lin Wanru are all used to it, and they like it very much, but Chen Ruiwen is a true northerner, and he is used to eating meat and drinking with people in the military camp , but not quite used to it.

Although he wasn't used to it, he didn't show it. He just secretly observed what kind of dishes Lin Wanru liked to eat. After a meal, he knew everything about Lin Wanru's preferences.

Lin Wanru played all morning, and felt a little tired after eating, so she went back to her room to take a nap, Shen Shi was also called away by the lady in charge, Chen Ruiwen naturally couldn't stay longer, so she also said goodbye.

Lin Wanru slept for half the afternoon, and when she woke up, she saw Aunt Shen rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find materials, so she asked, "What is Auntie doing?"

Aunt Shen said: "Speaking of birthdays today, won't it be your sister's 15th birthday soon? The girl's home and hairpin are a big deal, and it's the first time we celebrate your sister's birthday. I have to make a dress for her."

Lin Wanru couldn't help laughing. Isn't it Lin Daiyu's birthday on the twelfth day of February? sky."

Aunt Shen said: "That's right, so I have to hurry up, you can choose for me, but we come to stay for a while, so I brought a few pieces of material for a meeting gift, do you want to go back to Jia's house again? Oh, I'm worrying."

Lin Wanru looked at the pieces of material that Aunt Shen was preparing to give away, so they were all brightly colored. Although they were precious, they were not suitable for Lin Daiyu. A horse called Phoenix Tail.

It looks like an ordinary blue color during the day, but at night when the light shines on it, it is colorful and gorgeous, just like the tail feathers of a phoenix. The clothes on his body suddenly glowed, scaring the two of them to death.

Lin Wanru felt that only the material that was elegant and clean on the surface but radiant on the inside could match Lin Daiyu.

Her mind turned, the dye formula of the phoenix tail was carefully researched by herself at the beginning, it used a kind of plant juice that can glow in the dark, after various adjustments, it can emit colorful light, she can write it out, But I still have to dye the cloth and make it into clothes, I'm afraid it's too late.

With an idea, she thought of Jia Baoyu. As long as it is good for Lin Daiyu, Jia Baoyu will do it with all her heart. It is best to entrust him to do it, but if he asks how the formula came from, what should she do? How to say?Moreover, the most important thing is, how can I meet Jia Baoyu when I am in the Chen family?

On the second day, Shen asked someone to bring four sets of clothes, saying that they were made for Lin Wanru. Lin Wanru saw that the fabrics were all high-quality and the embroidery was exquisite, so she would not be able to make them out in a while. It was my own size, and it must have been made in the sewing room when I met Shen that day. I was very moved in my heart, thought about it, and decided to ask Chen Ruiwen.

Chen Ruiwen was reading in the study, when he heard that Lin Wanru's girl was asking to see him, he hurriedly called in, knowing that Lin Wanru was looking for him, so he went to Ningxiangzhai.

Aunt Shen received him with a smile, and said: "Your sister asked you something, but I didn't say anything to her. This girl just has a lot of weird thoughts. Just look at me, don't be as knowledgeable as her."

Chen Ruiwen naturally wouldn't, he wished Lin Wanru would look for him all day long.

Lin Wanru wrote the recipe for the phoenix tail to Chen Ruiwen, and said quietly: "I sneaked out to play when I was a child, and I got it by accident in the dyeing workshop. My aunt doesn't know, cousin, don't tell her, now it's almost time for my sister's It's my birthday, and I want to dye a piece of material to make clothes for my sister, and wear it on her birthday, after much deliberation, only my cousin can help me with this."

Chen Ruiwen naturally agreed, and promised to run for her.

Although Chen Ruiwen has many properties under his name, he does not have a dyeing workshop, so he went to ask Shi Guangzhu. Shi Guangzhu's mother, Princess Minghua, had a dyeing workshop in her dowry, which was later given to Shi Guangzhu. Opening, he even went to drink.

This is not a big deal, so Shi Guangzhu asked the steward of the dyeing workshop to take the formula and dye it. Chen Ruiwen said: "It's urgent, tell people to hurry up."

Shi Guangzhu smiled and said: "Hey, when did our General Chen have urgent matters, hey, who did you dye this material for? Is it my aunt or some sister from your family?"

Chen Ruiwen glared at him: "Just do your job well, and I'll buy you a drink when it's done. Why are you asking so much?"

Shi Guangzhu smiled back, feeling quite puzzled in her heart, and naturally asked people to step up dyeing and printing.

After four days of work, the material was delivered, Shi Guangzhu asked the steward, and also sighed: "I used so many dyes, and it looks like an ordinary blue color, what's so strange, don't you dye it wrong? "

Shi Guangzhu didn't understand, but the manager knew the goods, and said excitedly: "Young master, don't underestimate this batch of materials. There are several kinds of plant juice mixed in it. It can't be seen during the day, but it will glow at night, which is equivalent to the sap in the fabric. It's a night pearl, it's rare to see, and I don't know where this formula came from, it's really a treasure."

Shi Guangzhu was puzzled, so he asked someone to keep one horse, and sent the rest to the Chen family.

Chen Ruiwen was also puzzled when he saw that it was an ordinary blue color, and showed it to Lin Wanru, who was very excited: "It's this color, it's this color."

Seeing her happy, Chen Ruiwen was also happy in his heart, and said, "Your sister's birthday is only a few days away, is it too late for you to make clothes? How about I ask Xiu Niang to help?"

Lin Wanru smiled and said, "Thank you cousin, my aunt and I have to make this dress by ourselves to be sincere."

At night, Lin Wanru specially ordered someone to turn off the lights to show Aunt Shen and Chen Ruiwen the mystery of this batch of fabrics. They saw that the fabrics were glowing with colorful lights, like a phoenix about to take off.

Aunt Shen was very surprised, she kept asking Lin Wanru where the recipe came from, Lin Wanru looked at Chen Ruiwen as if asking for help, Chen Ruiwen suddenly felt relieved, and said with a smile: "Auntie, this is a recipe I got by accident , my cousin doesn’t know.”

Only then did Aunt Shen suddenly realize, and said: "Thank you very much, but I thought it was a joke to ask someone to dye it again."

Chen Ruiwen smiled and said: "Auntie is too polite, as long as my aunt and cousin are satisfied, I didn't make this trip in vain."

Aunt Shen naturally decided to use this material, and Lin Wanru and Lin Wanru were busy cutting it according to Lin Daiyu's size to make clothes.

Chen Ruiwen was invited by Shi Guangzhu to have a drink, Chen Ruiwen smiled and said: "It's agreed, I'll treat you."

Shi Guangzhu waved his hands and said, "We brothers, why are you being so polite, I was just about to ask you, where did you get that formula?"

Chen Ruiwen immediately became vigilant: "Why are you asking this?"

Shi Guangzhu said: "You also know about me. My parents always thought I was playing around all day long, so they gave me a dyeing workshop. It has been open for more than half a year and has not made a name for itself. I saw the material, tsk tsk, it’s really the best, if you can use this material to lead the battle, the business will definitely be booming, good brother, I beg you, sell me the recipe, and you can set the price.”

Chen Ruiwen didn't expect Shi Guangzhu to come up with this idea. Thinking of the brilliance of the material, he thought it was natural, but Lin Wanru specially dyed the material for Lin Daiyu's birthday. If it was everywhere, it would not be a disappointment to Lin Wanru. Some thoughts?

Sui said: "This formula is not mine either, and I have no control over it. Besides, let me just say, this is also a work of the boudoir daughter's game, and it is not good to spread it. Forgive me for not agreeing to this matter."

Shi Guangzhu couldn't hide the disappointment on his face.

On the tenth day of February, Aunt Shen and Lin Wanru left, and Shen knew that they were going back for Lin Daiyu's birthday, so she didn't force them to stay, but said that they would come back in a few days and the house would be reserved for them.

Back at Jia's house, Lin Daiyu was the happiest, she came out to pick her up in person, and said with a smile, "I thought you guys would come back after a while."

Lin Wanru smiled and said, "We are here to celebrate my sister's birthday." Lin Daiyu didn't say anything, but she was very happy in her heart.
