Chapter 116 Sister Hua, this dress doesn’t suit you

"Sister Manju is so good to you. She makes new clothes for you every season. And every time she makes them, they are so beautiful, with novel styles and good fabrics." Han Qingge's tone was full of envy.

Zhenzhu looked at her and said nothing. Han Qingge saw that Zhenzhu didn't respond, so she stopped talking without interest.

Turning around, I saw Hua Lei's sky blue dress, and then I saw Rong Jue wearing a robe of the same color opposite me, and I felt a little depressed.

"Sister Hua, you have been wearing this dress for a long time, right? Look, it's getting frayed here." Han Qingge said, pointing at the edge of Hua Lei's sleeve.

Hualei raised her arm and saw that it was true. She didn't know when the cuff had been caught by something hard, and a thread had been pulled out, and the fabric had become a little wrinkled. Hualei used her fingers to smooth out the wrinkles. She smiled and said, "Yes, I've worn this dress for a long time. I don't know when it got caught by something hard."

"Sister Hua is really thrifty. She is reluctant to throw away this dress even though it is worn out. And Sister Hua, I think this color is not suitable for you. You are naturally cold and don't talk much. If you wear such a cold color, it will give people a feeling of being a thousand miles away and it will be even more difficult for people to get close to you. Don't you think so, Sister Hua?"

Hualei looked at her. She was wearing a light yellow dress, which really made her feel warm. It would be better if she didn't have such a mouth.

"Sister Hua has recently bought a farm and a shop, why don't you want to make yourself some nice clothes? Although Sister Hua is not good at women's work and has studied in the women's school for so long, she can only sew a button, but you can ask an embroiderer to do it for you, as long as you pay the money. Or does Sister Hua only want to earn money for herself and is reluctant to let others earn money for her?"

Han Qingge covered her mouth with a handkerchief and giggled, while secretly glancing at Rong Jin's face. When she saw the look of disgust on Rong Jin's face when she said that Hua Lei had studied for so long but still could only sew buttons, her heart was filled with joy.

"Cousin, you live by the sea, why are you so nosy? Sister Hua is in mourning now. How can she be like you, wearing red and green every day?" Zhenzhu couldn't stand it anymore and started to retort.

"Sister Zhenzhu, how can I be nosy? I was just chatting with Sister Hua. Sister Hua, don't you think so?" Han Qingge turned her head, looked at Hua Lei, and said with a look of grievance.

"Well, Miss Han is right. I prefer to make money. Does Miss Han like to make money?" Hua Lei smiled and smoothed her wrinkled cuffs and asked.

"I..." Han Qingge paused. If she said that she liked to make money, that didn't mean that she wanted to be like Hualei, go to the farm every day, hang out with those smelly chickens, ducks, geese and pigs, and get stuck in the money hole. This didn't fit her image of being a lady from a noble family who was good at everything from playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting!

But if I say that I don't like to make money, that's not right, right? When I become the mistress of the house, I will definitely have to manage the fields and shops. I will also have to make money by then, so I will be contradicting myself.

"Sister Hua is joking. My parents are both here, so it's not my turn to earn money. My mother told me to just study music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and learn needlework, and don't worry about the rest.

When I get married, I can be a good helper to my husband when he is studying, and I can play the piano to entertain him when he is dancing with swords. Occasionally, I can make him a lingerie or something, that's enough." Han Qingge seemed to glance at Pei Rongjin intentionally or unintentionally.

"Oh, what a pity. I had been thinking that if Miss Han also likes to make money, she could help me make a few dresses, and I could pay her. Miss Han is such a good needlework girl, it's a pity not to make money for her." Hua Lei sighed softly, looking very sorry.

"Sister Hua, you..." Han Qingge was furious. This stinky girl from the countryside wanted a lady from an official position to make her dresses? She thought of herself as an embroiderer. It was such a shame not to try her luck.

"Sister Hua, you're joking. I'm really not needed to make money. After all, my mother loves me very much." Han Qingge gritted her teeth.

"What my cousin said is absolutely right. My uncle and aunt are both alive, so it's not my turn to earn money. My aunt loves you very much and can't bear to see you suffer.

From childhood to adulthood, my cousin was taught by the teacher of the Marquis's mansion, whose tuition was paid by the Marquis's mansion. My cousin's food, clothing and daily necessities were also provided by the Marquis's mansion, and she also received a monthly salary from the Marquis's mansion. She didn't need her aunt to pay for anything.

And my cousin herself doesn't need to spend any money at all. With the monthly salary from the Marquis's Mansion, she might be able to save up a nice dowry for herself.

When you get married in the future, you can live on your dowry. If it's not enough, you can just eat, wear and use your husband's food. Why do you want to earn money? To tire yourself out?"

"Sister Pearl, you...are you disgusted with me?"

"How dare I! I just envy my cousin. She lives such an easy and carefree life." Han Qingge looked at Zhenzhu, then at Hualei, and closed his mouth with a grim expression.

Hualei sighed softly. Although Zhenzhu might be mocking Han Qingge, she really envied Han Qingge.

Every day, she does whatever she wants to do, and does nothing if she doesn't want to do anything. Even for the most basic food and clothing, there are maids around her, and she doesn't have to do anything herself. Even if the family's economic conditions may be average, there is still an aunt who is the hostess of the Marquis's Mansion to provide financial support. Although his father's official position is not high, he is also a legitimate second-generation official!

There is really no need to worry about anything. Just find a suitable husband, and live the rest of your life in harmony. That would be a perfect life! That is the ultimate dream of many office workers in their previous lives!

Rong Jin, who was sitting opposite, only heard a low sigh, and then saw Hua Lei lower her head, sitting there somewhat lonely. Rong Jin's heart was stabbed. Did she think of her deceased grandfather and grandmother, did she think of her parents who had no news from her, parents she hadn't seen for six months, and sister Hua probably didn't even remember what they looked like.

Rong Jue on the other side blinked his eyes and looked at this and that. He fumbled in his sleeve pocket and took out a sugar-coated bean. He leaned over and put the bean in Hua Lei's hand. "Sister Hua, have a bean. It's delicious and sweet."

Hua Lei's originally heavy heart suddenly felt lightened. She smiled sweetly at Rong Jue and said, "Thank you, Rong Jue. How did you know that Sister Hua likes to eat candy beans? Then I really ate them."
