Daily life of the mistress

Chapter 164: Grabbing Cloth

Lu Lingjun had a few days of leisure, but Du Ruoke in the backyard had no leisure at all.
    In the past few days, Cheng Yunshuo still hasn't come to her yard.

    He even seemed to be deliberately avoiding her and walked away from her, so that Du Ruo had no way to meet Cheng Yunshuo even if she wanted to.

    Because of the rules that Lu Lingyun taught her last time she went there, she didn't dare to go to Lu Lingyun's yard to look for someone directly. She stayed in her own small lotus yard for a few days, but she did gain some results.

    She found out everything about Cheng Yunshuo's concubines in the backyard.

    Qiu Ling was the personal maid who grew up with Cheng Yunshuo and was brought up. She had a difficult delivery and became ill, and was no longer able to serve him in the emperor's bedchamber.

    But she had children and gave birth to the eldest son for the Marquis's Mansion, who was raised by Lu Lingyun. Even if she could no longer serve Cheng Yunshuo, she still had a considerable status in the Marquis's Mansion.

    Aunt Qiu was now too lazy to compete for favor. She spent all day embroidering small clothes and shoes in her own yard, or going to Lu Lingyun's yard to chat from time to time, without competing with others.

    Then there is Linglong who lives in Yaoguang Pavilion. Aunt Ling was born in a brothel. Although her status in Xing Dairong's mansion is low, her eyebrows and eyes are somewhat like Xing Dairong. In addition, no one in the backyard competes with her for favor. She also lives directly in Cheng Yunshuo's courtyard, so she can be said to be favored by Cheng Yunshuo.

    During the few days since she got married, Cheng Yunshuo stayed at her place every night.

    Thinking of this, Du Ruo's eyes were filled with jealousy.

    She must defeat Linglong. As long as Linglong is defeated, Cheng Yunshuo will be hers.

    Thinking of this, after a few days of peace, Du Ruo went directly to Yaoguang Pavilion to meet Aunt Ling.

    At this time, in the backyard garden.

    April is a good time of year, with the weather warm and flowers blooming. The sun is getting warmer day by day. In the flower garden, a beautiful woman is sitting in a rocking chair admiring the flowers.

    Two maids held several feet of cloth in front of her and asked her to choose.

    "Auntie Ling, this is the material for this season's new clothes. Auntie Qiu has just finished selecting them. You can come and choose some."

    The aunts make new clothes every season, and the warehouse will first send the materials to each courtyard for the aunts to choose.

    Of course, the order in which they are sent for selection is also important, and the first one to be sent to is definitely Qiu Ling.

    Qiu Ling was the first one to be promoted to concubine and gave birth to the eldest son of the Marquis's Mansion. In addition, Qiu Ling was originally born in the Marquis's Mansion, so the servants in the Marquis's Mansion were close to her. The first batch of materials was sent to other courtyards only after she had selected them.

    "These materials are all very good." Linglong looked at the two pieces of cloth left in front of her, one with lotus pink peach blossom patterns, and the other with blue-green orchid patterns.

    "Are these the only two left?"

    "Yes, this year the warehouse has three pieces of fine material. They are the popular brocade in Jiangnan. They all look good."
