Chapter 110: Embroidered Handkerchief

Zheng Xiaowen was about to pick up the words of his aunt and cousin Su Chen, when Jiang Xia entered the door. The two cousins said hello to Zheng Xiaowen and went out.

Jiang Xia asked: "Miss, I see that you called your aunt's cousin and aunt's cousin just now, and you called it so smoothly, you remembered the names of these two young ladies." ’

Zheng Xiaowen said in her heart: Oh, it turns out that those two girls are really called Jiemei and Su Chen! She said: "When I saw them just now, I suddenly had a little impression in my heart, and I couldn't help but call them out by myself. Thinking about it now, it's still a bit confusing and unclear. ’

Jiang Xia said:

Remember, the girl named Wen Jiemei is your aunt's cousin. That girl named Su Chen is your aunt's cousin. When the two of them wanted to come to our Westhouse for dinner, they asked Sister-in-law Zhang to send it together.

Actually, I usually don't eat in this house, you forgot everything, I just said to Sister-in-law Zhang in order to accompany you, I will eat with you. ’

Zheng Xiaowen heard a little rarely, and she asked, 'Then where are you eating?'

Jiang Xia said:

"Everyone in our Zheng Mansion has monthly money and rice and noodles every month. In our big yard, there are eight families like my family. These eight families live in the courtyard of our Zheng Mansion, in eight directions on the side. Each of these eight families has a small yard and a kitchen.

"To the south of our Zhengfu courtyard, there are dozens of acres of land, and there are vegetables, melons and fruits planted in the ground. In the fields farther away, there are crops planted, which are specially designed to supply the people of our Zheng Mansion to eat. ’

Listening to these words, Zheng Xiaowen felt that Jiang Xia was not only like a member of the Zheng family, but also a staff member of the Zheng family. If Jiang Xia is like this, she will have food, drink, work, reading, and shopping in her spare time, which is also very good.

Zheng Xiaowen was thinking about it, she suddenly remembered that she embroidered a handkerchief for her aunt and cousin Wen Jiemei, and asked: 'Did you embroider a handkerchief for your aunt's cousin when you bought silk thread in the morning?'

Jiang Xia said: "I haven't heard you say that you embroider handkerchiefs for Miss Gu's family? The silk thread we bought was for Liu Gongzi to embroider handkerchiefs." You've forgotten about it?'

Jiang Xia saw that Zheng Xiaowen was still confused, and said, "If you forget the important matter of buying silk threads and embroidering handkerchiefs for Liu Gongzi this morning, then it will not be strange that you forget other things." ’

When Zheng Xiaowen heard 'embroidering a handkerchief for Liu Gongzi', she frowned and said worriedly:

I really forgot about it, I don't remember it at all. Jiang Xia, look at the embroidered handkerchief, I forgot how to embroider the flowers, how do I embroider the handkerchief?

Now I think about it, but I can't remember how to embroider. I have promised to embroider a handkerchief for my aunt's cousin, and now there is another one to embroider a handkerchief for Liu Gongzi, I don't know anything, what can I do, this is not urgent, it makes people worry!'

Jiang Xia said: "Don't worry, I'll embroider Miss Gu's handkerchief." Liu Gongzi's handkerchief, I can't embroider it for you, then I won't embroider it, let's buy it on the street. You send a handkerchief to Liu Gongzi, whether you embroider it yourself or buy it yourself, it is an expression of your heart, and the effect is the same, don't worry, don't worry about it anymore. ’

Jiang Xia's words made Zheng Xiaowen feel relaxed when he heard it.

Jiang Xia pulled Zheng Xiaowen into the inner room, opened a small leather suitcase, took out two square, light cyan handkerchiefs and said:

"Miss, show you, this is the handkerchief material you bought for Liu Gongzi." You also said that you would take advantage of not going to school today to embroider handkerchiefs at home.

'In the morning you bought all the threads, and you forgot everything, and you couldn't even embroider flowers.' But this matter of embroidering a handkerchief for Liu Gongzi is a matter of love between you and Liu Gongzi, I really can't embroider for you, let's go to the street to buy it in a while. ’

Zheng Xiaowen said in his heart: A little girl of this age in the Song Dynasty can understand so much? Well, if you want to say it, the poems and writings of the Tang Dynasty have been passed down through the ages, and the people of the Song Dynasty who inherited the wisdom of their ancestors must be very smart and know a lot.

Zheng Xiaowen took the handkerchief material and touched it, and said, "Oh, this is what I bought?" ’

Jiang Xia said: "This is what I bought with you, and you carefully selected these two pieces of high-quality materials." ’

Zheng Xiaowen said in his heart: I can buy such a good handkerchief material for Liu Gongzi? I will have such a deep affection for that Liu Gongzi? Who knows! A seventeen-year-old child, I can't even imagine what kind of affection he will have!

Zheng Xiaowen saw Jiang Xia's bed in a blink of an eye, she suddenly remembered Jiang Feng, and she asked: "What is your brother doing, don't let me meet him again, if I say it, it won't be able to cover the whole stuffing." ’

Jiang Xia said: "My brother is Liu Gongzi's scholar, in fact, my brother is only a few months younger than Liu Gongzi, and Liu Gongzi treats my brother as well as a brother." Don't worry, my brother is very smart, and he is also very good at doing things. If you really reveal something, he will live for you no matter whether he understands it or not. ’

After Jiang Xia finished speaking, she took another pink handkerchief and said, "Miss, look, just use this piece of material to embroider a handkerchief for Miss Gu's family, Miss Gu's family is born in Layue, and it's good to embroider a dried branch and plum blossom, do you say okay?"

Zheng Xiaowen looked at the handkerchief material and said happily: "Okay, okay, the quality of this handkerchief material is also high-quality! ’

Jiang Xia took a paper plum blossom bottom sample and said, "Miss, you can write and draw again, you see, this plum blossom bottom sample is what you painted." ’

Zheng Xiaowen looked at the bottom of the paper with plum blossoms painted on it, and thought happily: Oh, I could have painted nine hundred years ago, and I painted so well, no wonder others praised my paintings for being good, it turns out that I have been practicing for almost a thousand years! Hehe! Today, I'm really happy! Hehehe!

Zheng Xiaowen played with it in his heart, and quickly came back to his senses and said: 'I can paint, and I still paint this plum blossom so well?'

Jiang Xia took out a folding fan with peony flowers painted on it from the drawer and said, "You forgot everything, show you, this is the white paper fan that the two of us bought with all our hearts." After buying it back, you said that the peony symbolizes wealth, so you painted the peony on this surface, look at it, see how beautiful you painted this peony flower, how beautiful!'

Zheng Xiaowen looked at the peony flowers on the fan, painted them realistically and beautifully, and saw that there were years and months and small characters written next to it: Zheng Xiaowen. She thought to herself and said, "Wow, I said how I can paint so well, so many people praise me, it turns out that I had such a deep foundation a thousand years ago! I am really great! I am really happy, I am really happy!

Jiang Xia looked at Zheng Xiaowen with a rare and rare self-beautiful smile, looking at the paintings on the fan. She said in her heart: The eldest lady has really forgotten everything! Looking at her demeanor when she looks at the painting seriously, and the expression that she wants to laugh but doesn't laugh out loud, this is the first time I have seen her!

Jiang Xia thought about it with a smile on her face, she glued the bottom of the paper plum blossom to the pink handkerchief material, patted it flat, stretched it with a bamboo bandage, took the embroidery needle, and embroidered it with silk thread......

It didn't take long for Jiang Xia to embroider a branch of plum blossoms. And she embroidered the edges of the handkerchief on all four sides, and a handkerchief was all made.

Zheng Xiaowen took Jiang Xia's embroidered handkerchief, looked at Jiang Xia's embroidery skills, was amazed, and praised again and again: "It didn't take long for you to embroider the handkerchief, I didn't expect you to have such a superb embroidery art at such a young age!

Zheng Xiaowen has never heard of it, let alone seen it, who can hold an embroidery needle in her hand at home, thread the needle and thread to embroider such beautiful embroidery crafts, otherwise, how could she be so surprised and so rare.
