16. a purse

The next day, Liu Dong'er sent Xuanling flowers as she said, and this time, Xiao Lu was like her finding a pinched word. The old lady didn't have any doubts, she didn't pay much attention to the maid next to her granddaughter, not to mention that Liu Donger brought Chunfei this time.

Chunfei is a second-class maidservant, and Liu Dong'er really wanted to bring a second-class maid over to support herself, but the four little maidservants beside her all looked similar, and they didn't stand out in particular, so the matter was delayed. Leaving the old lady's yard, Liu Donger took Chunfei to the backyard. It wasn't Chunfei who worked hard to pick flowers before, and she didn't know the difference between flowers, but Liu Dong'er took her to secretly sprinkle flower seeds.

The flowering period of daylily is very short, and it is very idle to plant. According to the doll, whether it is in the water or in the soil, it can be planted, and there is no need to be particularly fed.

The flower seed is naturally asked for by the doll, and the doll also said that if the Xuanling flower is planted in it, the benefits of refreshing the mind are still there, but there is no talent that can make people's blood flow quickly. Of course, this is what Liu Dong'er wants, and Liu Zhang's unintentional backyard will come over.

Secretly sprinkled some flower seeds, Liu Dong'er went back to the yard, but she noticed that Xiao Lu's expression was a little bright when she came back. After thinking about it for a while, Liu Dong'er remembered that she had already asked Xiao Lu to help see which of the second-class maidservants was more useful, so she promoted it. Although Xiao Lu also carefully inspected the four second-class maidservants, he never reported to Liu Dong'er, which maid was more useful.

Liu Dong'er knew in her heart that it was not that Xiao Lucun had a crooked mentality, but that the four second-class maids were really similar, so even she couldn't tell which one was better. At this time, Tian is an exception, she can't send flowers without a maid every time, so she casually called Chunfei, which falls in the eyes of others, I'm afraid it's the feeling of promoting Chunfei, right?

A slightly bitter smile, the handmaidens were not at peace with each other.

"Miss, do you want to see Mrs.?" Xiao Lu spoke a little worriedly, her age was over there, even if she was able to take charge of herself under Liu Dong'er's training, she still couldn't hide her psychology on her face.

Liu Dong'er didn't bother to accuse her, but she also thought about whether she should cultivate a cronie, not only to be loyal to her, but also to be scheming, and the most woman has certain skills. After thinking about it, she still put down this mentality, she is only seven years old, and she will not recruit people in the name, not to mention that even if she recruits people to come over, such a maid is also impossible to meet.

Liu Dong'er smiled bitterly again, making a purse was something she had thought about early in the morning, if it was to connect this matter with the morning's matter, it would indeed be a bit heart-wrenching. Shaking her head slightly, Liu Dong'er didn't want to pay attention to this matter, she was careful with the old lady, pretending to be innocent on Liu Man'er's side, but she didn't want to go back to the house, but she still had to take care of the maid's state of mind.

Chunfei came over soon, and looking at her smiling expression, she seemed to be in a good mood.

Although Liu Dong'er doesn't have much feeling about this little maid, ordinary people always want to see a smile. Especially after looking at Xiaolu's depressed face, and then looking at Chunfei's smiling eyebrows and eyes with a happy face, Liu Dong'er couldn't help but be open-minded.

"Chunfei, I want to make two purses, and I haven't decided to use any pattern yet, can you tell me?" Liu Dong'er smiled and said: "By the way, Xiao Lu will help me get some fabrics." ”

Xiao Lu's pale expression was even worse at this time, and Chunfei immediately answered: "Miss, just embroider a purse, you don't need to take those whole pieces of fabric." I used to make clothes for the young lady, and I left a lot of cloth on Chunfei's side. ”

Before Liu Dong'er nodded, Xiao Lu scrambled to speak angrily: "Chunfei, this is a young lady who wants to embroider a purse, how can she use a cloth head?"

Chunfei was stunned, she really didn't know that there was such an exquisiteness in this. looked at Liu Dong'er hesitantly: "Miss embroidered purse must use the whole piece of fabric?"

"Of course not, it's just playing, it doesn't have to be that elegant. Chunfei, you go and bring the cloth to me to see. As for Midori, you go to the kitchenette and take some food. Liu Dong'er said softly, but her eyes stared at the two maids in a row.

When Chunfei heard Liu Dong'er say this, she immediately responded loudly, turned around and ran away quickly. Xiao Lu's body shook, and then he saluted Liu Dong'er, lowered his head and slowly exited the room.

In fact, the four second-class maids are all quite good, at least psychologically innocent. As for Xiaolu, Liu Dong'er first thought of her being older, having a talented father, and being the eldest sister at home, so she valued her. Thinking about it at this time, it's not that Xiaolu has a mentality, it's just that she will think more, but she won't hide it. This is more suspicious than an innocent person.

It seems that the next step is either to let Xiao Lu understand the hidden psychology, or to promote others to come up.

Liu Dong'er's thinking is to try her best to hide herself and be an innocent and chaste Miss Ling Yuan who doesn't care about everything. As for the rest, she didn't want to show it, and she couldn't show it.

Chunfei soon returned, carrying a big burden in her arms. Liu Dong'er watched with interest as she untied her burden and pulled out a large pile of cloth from it.

Really, it's not enough to say it's a cloth, if it's really a small piece, Chunfei won't put it away. Most of the big burdens are two or three palm-sized cloth heads for adults, and the smallest one is also the size of a palm. Looking at the neat stacks of cloth, Liu Dong'er glanced at Chunfei.

And Chunfei didn't notice Liu Dong'er's eyes at all, but happily rummaged through the burden. Soon she picked out two pieces of cloth from them, both of which were more precious fabrics, one was dark green, and the other was red and gold-edged.

"Miss, this green one looks fresh and refreshing, we can make a purse in the shape of a leaf, and it will be beautiful. With this, the purse of making a carp leaping dragon gate must be eye-catching. Chunfei mentioned that she was a little childish, and it could be seen that she was very serious, and her naivety was more viscous.

"I want to make a purse for my grandmother and mother, and if I can, for my father. Liu Dong'er smiled lightly and said the request, and looked at Chunfei with pleasure and immediately wrinkled her little face.

"Old lady...... The old lady can't use these two, well, why don't you make an ingot-shaped?" spoke hesitantly, Chunfei was obviously not very confident, seeing that Liu Dong'er didn't speak, she still went on to finish speaking: "Mrs. is waiting for leisure, make a little pomegranate, pomegranates have many seeds, Mrs. will definitely be porridge." ”

Liu Dong'er looked at her nondeniably: "Yes, you can say a few more." ”

"Master's purse, Chunfei really doesn't know what to do. In the past, Chunfei only made purses for the girl's family...... "Chunfei's voice became softer and softer, and in the end, it was completely unreceiving.

Liu Dong'er is not embarrassed by Chunfei, in fact, she doesn't mind that the maidservant can't do it, she doesn't mind that she doesn't know how to pretend to understand and looks like it's for your good.

"Chunfei, you can help me make a pomegranate, remember not to seal the mouth, I have to do it myself. Liu Donger never thought of sewing purses by hand. First, she has a lot of things to do, staring at the kitchen every day, and she has to talk to Liu Zhang's family, so she has no time. Second, her embroidery work is really not very good, in the previous life Liu Zhang's favored her, and then her body was weak and did not study hard, at this time Liu Zhang's wanted her to learn to be popular, regretting that she was pregnant and forgot this stubble to the back of her mind.

"Hee-hee. Chunfei covered her mouth and snickered, then glanced at Liu Dong'er quickly, and lowered her head and pretended to regret: "Miss, I ......"

"You can steal the fun, the last few stitches are mine, and the purse is made by me, do you know?" Seeing Chunfei's snickering appearance, Liu Dong'er couldn't help but become childish.

Chunfei nodded again and again, and the smile on her face couldn't be hidden.

The pomegranate purse is not ordinary from the purse that Liu Donger saw in the past, it is round and slippery, and it is filled with childlike fun at a glance, although it is not exquisite, it is extremely joyful. Chunfei's movements are very fast, and the pomegranate purse does not need to be embroidered on the top, so it is naturally much easier. In less than a moment, it was completed.

Playing with the pomegranate purse in her hand, Liu Dong'er did not rush to seal the mouth, in fact, her dried flowers have not yet been prepared.

"Miss?" Seeing Liu Dong'er stunned, Chunfei stared at her with big eyes and said in confusion.

Liu Dong'er turned around and said with a smile: "Chunfei, why don't we make some fruit purses? This pomegranate is for your mother, and you can make a grape for your grandmother." ”

Chunfei was a little dumbfounded: "Why do you want to make a grape for the old lady?" Grapes also have the meaning of having many children, and the old lady is a handful of years, so it's a bit nondescript to send this.

"No, it's funny, and I made it myself, and my grandmother won't say no porridge. "A seven-year-old child embroidered a purse and gave it to his grandmother, even if it was a little unrefined, or a little underthought, presumably no grandmother would split the noodles and say no porridge. What's more, grapes are very auspicious, so they are not very stable, where can a seven-year-old child tell the difference?

And after the purse is done, hehe, I'm afraid that the show will begin.

It took half a day to make a purse, one was a pomegranate and the other was a grape.

Liu Dong'er didn't send it immediately the next day, because she still needed to concoct dried flowers. Although the doll is the most concocted dried flowers, this time, Liu Donger didn't want her to make a move. The reason is very simple, Liu Dong'er doesn't want the dried flowers to maintain their medicinal effect for too long.

Picking a day with a good day, Liu Donger dried the Xuanling flowers from the doll in the yard, of course, she didn't just dry this flower, she only stuffed the dried flowers of Xuanling flowers into the purse, and then sealed it with her own hands, and let Chunfei play two lines, so she took Chunfei to the old lady's yard to ask for peace the next day.

As usual, the three pregnant women in Liu's house were not present, and only Liu Dong'er and Liu Man'er were there. Liu Man'er was coquettish as always, but Liu Dong'er took out these two purses.

"Grandmother, this is Dong'er's hand-embroidered purse, and I ask my grandmother to give me some guidance. ”

The old lady was most surprised to take over the two purses, the shape of the purses is small, and it is a lovely fruit. Pomegranates and grapes are auspicious objects, although the workmanship is not very exquisite, but the old lady will not say it.

"Okay, Dong'er has really grown up and knows how to do embroidery, your mother is pregnant, don't bother her during this time. If Dong'er still wants to learn embroidery, it's better to let Liuli teach you. The old lady boasted, but still reminded a few words. In her opinion, the most important thing in Liu's mansion at this time will be the heir. Especially the child in Liu Zhang's belly, the sister-in-law is very important to Liu Fu.

Of course, Liu Dong'er was full of promises, she cared about Liu Zhang's family more than anyone else. Looking at Liu Man'er's surprised eyes, Liu Dong'er spoke with a smile: "Dong'er heard that pomegranates and grapes are good things, so I specially embroidered this." Dong'er hopes that one will be given to her grandmother and the other will be given to her mother. Grandmother, pick one first. ”

The old lady was the most surprised, but when she came back to her senses, she smiled: "Dong'er is really filial piety, this pomegranate and grapes are given to your mother, but grandmother doesn't need this meaning." ”

Of course, Liu Dong'er knew that she didn't mean to give it to the old lady, so she still had to say: "Why? Could it be that grandmother dislikes Dong'er's embroidered purse is not beautiful?"

Chunfei is good at female red, but that's about girls her age. In fact, Chunfei also helped embroider a handkerchief in Liu Dong'er's room, and maybe made some praise clothes, socks and the like. And the clothes that Liu Dong'er usually wears are all cut by the tailor in it, so Chunfei is good at female popularity, and there is no way to be on par with the tailor embroiderer. Therefore, if you look at it with such a critical eye, it will be like that.

It's just that the old lady naturally wouldn't use such a strict light to pick on Liu Dong'er: "My good Dong'er, how can my grandmother dislike Dong'er?" Okay, then grandmother will choose this grape-like purse, you can take this pomegranate purse to your mother." ”

Although pomegranates and grapes are auspicious objects, pomegranates are blood-colored, grapes are purple, and in terms of color, pomegranates are even more joyful.

Liu Dong'er smiled widely, as if she was genuinely happy for the old lady's porridge and her purse. The old lady is also in a good mood, as a grandmother, she does not ask her granddaughter to give many valuable gifts, such a small object is already very able to express filial piety.

When Ann was introduced, Liu Dong'er looked at Liu Man'er's struggling expression, and her heart was already clear. Liu Man'er is in a trick, she is reading the usual lesson of Aunt Zhou, and she doesn't dare to speak directly to ask for it. You must know that the last time because of the purse, she had been taught a hard lesson. It seems that Liu Donger is still needed to work harder this time.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? Do you think my embroidered purse is very beautiful? By the way, I saw you embroidering a handkerchief under the eaves that day, I'm afraid that my sister's embroidery is getting better and better, right?" Liu Man'er is one year younger than Liu Dong'er, and the female red is exquisite and skilled.

"I ......" Liu Man'er wanted to ask for the purse in Liu Dong'er's hand, she always felt that Liu Dong'er's things were better than hers, which had become a habit for her, so when she heard Liu Dong'er's words, she subconsciously wanted to argue: "Of course I embroider the best, but I don't have time to do it very closely." ”

Liu Dong'er smiled slightly, yes, I don't have time to embroider purses for my grandmother and mother. This sounds very true, but it is a little unpleasant. Fortunately, Liu Man'er is still young at this time, and the old lady is a little displeased, and she will not show it, at most she will compare Liu Man'er with Liu Dong'er.

"That's the case, then next time when my sister is a little free, let's embroider the purse together!" Liu Dong'er smiled and invited: "By the way, we can also embroider more fruit purses, my sister has always been ingenious, and she must embroider better than me." ”

When it comes to rewards, Liu Man'er naturally likes to listen to them very much, but her eyes continued to stare at the pomegranate purse in Liu Dong'er's hand, her big eyes turned, and she took Liu Dong'er's hand and said: "Sister, can you lend me your purse temporarily?" I'll return it to my sister when I look back." ”

The things lent to Liu Man'er have always been gone, and this is not only clear to Liu Dong'er, but even the old lady is also very clear. At the moment, not only Liu Dong'er was stunned, but even the old lady's expression was not so good-looking.

In the last purse incident, because Liu Man'er opened his mouth to ask Liu Dong'er for the old lady's purse, although Liu Dong'er later gave the purse to Liu Man'er, that incident left a pimple in the old lady's heart. At this time, how long has it been, and Liu Man'er has done it again, but this time she directly asked Liu Dong'er for it.

Liu Dong'er knows that Liu Man'er's mind is nothing more than that Liu Dong'er is older than her, and it is appropriate to be humble to her sister, and Liu Man'er herself is more favored than herself, and Liu Dong'er's nature is weak and deceivable in the eyes of outsiders. Presumably Liu Man'er must feel that even if Liu Dong'er is very unwilling in his heart, this purse has to be given.

The mind is not bad, when it comes to this, Liu Dong'er really has to give it, but Liu Man'er forgot one thing, her approach fell into the eyes of the old lady, can the old lady still be unclear?

Frowning, the old lady opened her mouth: "Fang'er, what is this for? Who doesn't have the auspicious pattern of pomegranates? Do you still want to care about your sister like this?"

Yes, the pomegranate purse made of Chunfei is small and cute, the appearance is not convex, and the pomegranate is a general pattern, which does not need to be shaped. Liu Man'er's rhetoric is just Liu Dong'er before he was reborn.

This is what Liu Dong'er wants, seeing that the old lady has been dissatisfied with Liu Man'er, Liu Dong'er hurriedly spoke: "Grandmother, it doesn't matter, it's just a look." Come, I'll lend this to my sister. ”

Seeing Liu Dong'er stuff the purse in her hand into Liu Man'er's hand without hesitation, the old lady frowned even more.

Shicai, Liu Dong'er has said very clearly, one of the two purses is for the old lady and one Liu Zhang. It is equivalent to saying that the purse in Liu Dong'er's hand is not her, and Liu Man'er still wants to speak and beg for it, which is inevitably too blind.
