Concubine Raiders Chapter 19: Decision (below)
Eleven Niang took out the picture of Baishou embroidered by Master Jian in the purse and spread it out on the table, looked at the half-completed work on the embroidery frame, and sighed slightly.
"Miss, do we want to continue embroidering?" Holly hesitated.
"Of course I have to continue embroidering." Eleven Niang smiled, "Although I am inferior to Master Jian both in embroidery skills and speed, have you found out? The'shou' I embroidered now Compared with the “Shou” character that was embroidered at the beginning, is there a big improvement?"
Holly took the light, looked carefully for a long while, nodded and said: "It's different from before. It feels like your stitch angle is more smooth and denser than before..."
Eleven Niang nodded and smiled: "So, this is also an opportunity to hone your embroidery skills!"
Holly smiled, and said: "The lady will go to bed early today-with the picture of a hundred years of life that Master Jian helped to embroider, you will have something to do with you then."
During this time, I stared at the square of the inch square day and night, and my eyes hurt a little. It's no wonder that many embroidered women are blind when they are over thirty years old. This is really a job of eating youthful meals. Like Master Jian, who specializes in teaching embroidery to wealthy people, although it is a good way out, the requirements for embroidery are also very high...
Eleven Niang thought, and smiled: "Let’s go to bed early today, it’s the Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first lunar month anyway. If others go out for a carnival, let’s give ourselves a vacation!"
Holly covered her mouth and smiled, arranged for Zhu Xiang to spend the night, personally serve Eleven Niang to rest, and then returned to her residence.
After Amber came, Holly and Ham-ju gave her the room next to the window. Amber also gave up, but Holly and Ham-ju were used to living together, and secondly, they had Several were wary, insisted on refusing, and huddled together with Qiu Ju and Zhu Xiang.
When she walked in, Bin Ju and Qiu Ju were not asleep. They were lying on Bin Ju’s bed to watch the flowers she had gathered, discussing what kind of gussets will look good on the skirts for spring next year. .
Seeing Holly coming in, Qiu Ju immediately jumped out of bed and greeted him: "Miss is resting!"
Holly nodded.
Qiu Ju gave her a face wash: "What did Master Jian give to Miss?"
Holly smiled and said, "I just wrote a letter to greet Miss."
Qiuju's eyes are envious: "The relationship between Miss and Master Jian is really good!"
"That's natural." Holly smiled, "Otherwise, so many people learn art from her, so how come we only pass on the skill of "double-sided embroidery" to our lady!"
Qiuju nodded and said: "Sister Dongqing, you said, if I serve the lady well and let her pass on this stunt to me, will the lady agree?"
"I'm not easy to say about this!" Holly smiled, "However, whoever in the mansion usually asks the female celebrity, the lady is also dedicated to help. If you are really interested, it is better to ask the lady someday!"
Qiuju nodded, and wanted to say something, Bin Ju smiled and said, "It's getting late. Tomorrow morning, Sister Holly will serve the young lady embroidering the screen. Let's just say a few words, just rest! "Speaking, started to disassemble a bed of flowers.
Qiuju answered, and the three of them stopped talking.
The next day at the time of Yinzheng, the sky was still not bright. Mother Xin and Mother Tang had already gotten up, and they had boiled hot water in the small kitchen next to the wing. In three quarters of Yinzheng, the eleven mother got up and Bin Ju was in charge of the washing. Qiu Ju had cooked the white porridge, and the eleven mother took a plate of preserved bamboo shoots and a plate of pickled melons and ate a half bowl of porridge, and then sat in front of the embroidery frame and started embroidering.
As the sky gradually cleared outside the window, a little maid came to say: "Miss Eleven, the older lady wants you to go to Zhiyun Hall now."
Eleven mothers are stunned.
At this time, what did the big lady tell her?
was confused, but didn't dare to slow down. Let Dongqing reward the little maid with a handful of silk candy, enter the house to change clothes, and she took Amber to the big wife.
went under the eaves, and she heard Wu Niang's cheerful laughter.
It looks like the older lady is in a good mood.
Eleven's heart is slightly settled, the little maid on the side has lifted the curtain and said: "Miss Eleven is here!"
The people in the room reduced their laughter, and the eleven mother entered the room.
Mrs. wore a lilac-colored butterfly and grape-patterned flower coat, and smiled and sat on the Luohan bed in the main room. Wu Niang wore a moon-white slub-patterned coat, standing on the bed like a wind blowing willow The smile on his face has not disappeared, and the corners of his mouth and eyebrows are overflowing with joy.
Seeing the eleven mother coming in, she covered her sleeves and smiled: "I'm talking about my sister, my sister is here!"
11 Niang smiled and stepped forward to salute the lady.
Mrs. pointed to a brocade next to the bed: "Sit down!"
Xi Niang smiled and sat on the Jin Yao.
Wu Niang couldn't wait to smile and said: "Eleven sisters, my mother is going to take us to Yanjing to see the big sister."
Xi Niang looked at the old lady in surprise.
Mrs. was very satisfied with Eleven’s surprise, she smiled and nodded: “Years ago, your eldest sister sent a grandma to me to please me. Saying that your grandfather and mother are gone, if the grandfather is here Yanjing is in the post. Your eldest brother is going to study in the Imperial College again. Taking this opportunity, let me also go to Yanjing to reunite with my family." After that, the eldest lady sighed, "Speaking of which, since your eldest sister got married. , I haven’t seen it in more than ten years. I’m wondering. Hearing what she said, I really moved my mind. But your eldest sister was afraid that I would not be able to leave these people at home, so she wrote frequently to urge me to go to Yanjing. I In total, it happened to be Mrs. Xu’s birthday in April. It’s not bad for me to pay a birthday to Mrs. Tai. It’s not interesting to think of going there alone, so I want to bring both of you to see and see."
The thing that should have finally come...
Xi Niang's heart was calm.
"Eleven sisters," Wu Niang smiled, "We are blessed."
Eleven Niang showed hesitation on her face, muttering: "The screen is not finished yet..."
Mrs. smiled, "I originally planned to only give gifts, but now that I have taken you to the birthday, the birthday gifts I prepared before are a bit shabby. Let's put the screen temporarily!"
Eleven Niang respectfully answered "Yes".
"We will leave after the Chinese New Year." The eldest wife smiled, "Go down and clean up! If you have anything to add or subtract, let Mama Xu help to buy it."
Eleven Niang smiled and stood up: "My mother rewards a lot on weekdays, and in my opinion, there is nothing to do. It’s just that I have thin eyelids. I want to ask Mother Xu to go to my house to see if there is any What's wrong. After all, I went to my eldest sister's house to pray for her mother-in-law on birthday, and I still have to take care of decent things!"
Mrs. heard this and nodded: "My son, you are right. This is not your only business, and your eldest sister’s decentness." She said, she directly called Mother Xu in, "Take Lao Jixiang The shopkeeper called and gave the two ladies some top jewelry."
Mother Xu smiled.
Eleven Niang asked some things to pay attention to when entering Beijing, and seeing Wu Niang a little impatient, she got up and left and went back to Luyun Tower.
As soon as she stepped into the door with her front foot, the back foot of Wu Xiao's family followed.
She also held a small can in her hand.
"Miss Eleven, I have something to ask for Amber."
Eleven mothers naturally wouldn’t stop, and smiled: "Just tell her to do what mom has ordered."
"It's nothing else." Wu Xiao's family pointed to the small can in their hands, "Knowing that you are going to Yanjing, I want Amber to help bring this can of glutinous fish to Miss Lu Yonggui's companion room. "
Eleven Niang's face was embarrassed: "I don't know how the big lady arranged it..."
Before she could finish her words, Wu Xiao’s family laughed and said, “The big lady took Xu’s mother. The inner courtyard was entrusted to Yao’s mother, and the outer courtyard was entrusted to our family. Forsythia So, I will stay at home, Luo Qiao and Shan Shan will go. You and Miss Wu, each with two big maids, two little maids, and two rough women..."
11 Niang smiled bitterly in my heart.
There are three big maids in her room, but Amber is a reward for the big wife, so she has to be taken with her. No wonder Wu Xiao's family came to ask Amber to help bring things.
"If this is the case, let Amber help you to run!" Wu Xiao's family has already said that, and I refuse it again, I'm afraid Wu Xiao's family will have an idea, "I just don't know when we will How to find this Lu Yonggui? You also know that we are female relatives after all, and we are going to visit Luo's house again..."
"Don’t worry, Miss, I won’t do that foolish thing." Wu Jiaxiao hurriedly laughed, "This Lu Yonggui helps aunt and grandma in charge of the dowry industry. Usually there are a lot of running outside and less staying at home. You are here. Yanjing will be away for twenty days. When you arrive, it will be the beginning of spring. I am afraid he will leave the house long ago. You can ask Dongqing to give this to Lu Yonggui's younger brother Lu Yongfu at that time~IndoMTL.com~Lu Yonggui His father was originally the chief steward of the accountant. Thanks to his elderly help to take care of the son of our family, the two families were very close. The last time Lu Yonggui went back to Yuhang, he said that he owed this bad food. I originally agreed to give it to He is a bit worse, but the mountains and rivers of Yanjing are far away, and no one took me. It was you who followed, and I thought about it."
Why is it so twisty...
11 Niang smiled and said: "Then how do you find this Lu Yongfu?"
Wu Xiao’s family laughed and said: "He is now a small steward in the horse stable of the Yongping Houfu. There is the outer courtyard. You will know when you ask a small servant."
Eleven Niang smiled and agreed, and asked Dongqing to collect the things.
Binju joked with Wu Xiao's family: "If we can't find anyone, we won't return the things."
Wu Xiao’s family laughed and said: "Girls just eat. I have more here."
Everyone laughed.
In the afternoon, it spread that Wuniang and Shiyiniang were going to accompany the eldest wife to Yanjing.
The atmosphere in the eleven mother's house is a bit depressing.
take two big maidservants, two little maids, two rough maids... the little maids and the rough maids can say, this big maid, who should we take?
Eleven Niang decided to go to the wife.
After all, these words are only from the mouth of Wu Xiao's family... Even if the eldest wife really has this plan, she still has a chance to get a place in her room before she announces it.
made up her mind, Xi Niang stood up, and the curtain in front of the door was suddenly opened without warning. Shi Niang's Yiaiyixi face appeared in front of Xi Niang.
"Okay, okay, okay." She walked in slowly with a very angry smile, "You can do it! Go to Yanjing..."
(The water has receded, my eyes are devastated...)
