Chapter 489 Madam Wu Remains Silent
Lin Chang'er understood, but since it was their first time dealing with each other, she didn't know the other party's preferences, and since she was Wu Qingfeng's mother, she didn't want to be presumptuous. "We have our own shop, but we don't have a master tailor. If it's just ordinary clothes, it's enough, but I don't know..."
The old woman smiled and said, "Miss, don't worry too much. Since Madam has decided to change into plain clothes, it will be no different for everyone. From now on, whatever everyone does, Madam will do as well."
Lin Chang'er felt relieved. She had never been one to serve others, so it was truly wonderful that Madam Wu was willing to step down from her high position and integrate into their group.
There was no need to pay special attention to them, the master and servants; the household remained the same as always.
“There are materials in the warehouse. After we finish eating, I will take the nanny to pick them out. Later, I will ask Sister Xing’er to come and help Madam take her measurements. Sister Xing’er and my second sister-in-law are the best needleworkers in our village. Only my second sister-in-law is not available because she has just finished her postpartum period.”
The old woman took out a silver ingot from her sleeve. "In that case, I'll trouble Miss Lin to make the arrangements."
Lin Chang'er naturally refused, "We should have prepared it much earlier, but Lord Wu has been busy these days, and we others don't know Madam's preferences, so we had to ask you, Granny, to remind us. It was our fault. When you have some free time later, Granny, I'll invite you to a drink."
Who wouldn't like a sensible, articulate, and pretty little girl? The nanny happily took Lin Chang'er's hand and said some comforting words, and told her that Madam Wu had just been confined to the inner quarters for many years and was not used to socializing with people.
The old woman was showing her kindness, and Lin Chang'er naturally understood it; she was always a practical person.
Seeing that it was still early and there was no rush to eat, they first took the nanny to the storeroom and had her roughly select a few bolts of fabric. When the meal was served, they would be sent over to Madam Wu to choose from, so as not to bother her repeatedly.
As for the nanny herself, Lin Chang'er also gave her two bolts of silk separately.
Back in the capital, this would naturally not have caught the other party's eye, but now that they're here, even Madam Wu has changed from a silk skirt to plain clothes, so the nanny naturally has to change as well.
Originally, the master family would distribute new clothes to the servants every quarter, but Lin Chang'er was not from the master family.
Having spent many years in the inner quarters of the household, the old woman naturally knew that they would need this Miss Lin to take care of them in the future. Moreover, when the woman gave her the fabric, it was in the manner of a junior showing respect to an elder, rather than the attitude of a master giving a reward.
What could she possibly find wrong? Unable to refute it, she smiled and nodded.
As for the things, there was no rush to take them back to the room. They would wait until later, when Wang Xing'er returned from town and measured the lady's measurements, to take her measurements and cut new clothes for her.
The Gu residence was quiet all afternoon. Yudian was a well-behaved baby. Usually, she would eat her fill and then sleep. After waking up, she would let the adults play with her for a while, look at the flowers, plants, fish, and birds, and not make a fuss.
Until, when he finished elementary school.
Originally, the Gu family had several children of various ages.
Lin Yanqing and Chen Zhao have been gone for so long, and today they finally came back. After school, almost half the village's children came to the Gu residence to play.
Gu Xiaoman was the leader of the kids in their age group, and also one of the most enthusiastic about going home.
As she entered the room, her short legs almost blurred into a blur, and she kept calling out, "Mommy, Auntie, Uncle, Grandma, Xiaoman is back..."
Madam Wu was sitting by the window reading when she suddenly heard this sound. She was startled and looked in the direction of the sound. She saw a string of little children at the front door. The little boy in the lead was short and round. His short legs were not enough to get him over the threshold, so he had to hug the threshold and climb over it. The little children behind him followed suit.
Mrs. Wu looked at those small figures and fell silent for a moment...
