Chapter 116: Merit
Shi Gui got up early, but she didn't think that Aunt Pei would get up earlier, and the light outside was only revealed, and she was already up, the clothes were neatly folded, the inner shirt and outer shirt were put aside, the petticoat and the outer skirt were on one side, and there was a comb and a silver hairpin on the top of the clothes.
She has a disciple's tea every day, she is already up early in this courtyard, but Aunt Pei is earlier than her, when Shi Gui woke up, Aunt Pei had already gotten up, quietly dressed, neatly dressed, and was sitting on the bed combing her hair.
Shi Gui hurriedly turned over and sat up, called his aunt, put on a cotton jacket and cotton pants, his hair was hurriedly put up, and he was about to carry water and wash her when he opened the door, but Aunt Pei waved her hand: "No need, I'll do some more work." โ
Shi Gui was stunned, the Ye family casually threw out the reward money was gold and silver, and specially invited her to come, and the bundle of cultivation given must be rich, she was in a hurry to do this job.
But when she opened her mouth, she lit the lamp for her, and put the charcoal basin farther away, and yesterday she said that she was afraid that the smoke and fire would smoke the material, and the skirt would be cut out and yellow.
Shi Gui only then knew that this piece of material was embroidered to make a skirt, Ye didn't like these big flowers, and his body was nothing more than some blue and purple, such a skirt must be matched with a red jacket to look good.
The silver hairpin on Aunt Pei's head is a flat head, and the bottom is a silver ear, take this one to pick a lamp, the room is brighter, the silk thread was divided yesterday, and the eight skirts use twenty or thirty kinds of threads, and there are several kinds of white alone, if it is not a smart eye, it cannot be distinguished in one place.
Aunt Pei has only embroidered a flower and leaf from last night to today, and now the fashionable clothes outside are getting richer and richer.
Shi Gui didn't know Aunt Pei's temperament, and she didn't stretch out her hand, she didn't work hard, she didn't have to embroider a purse, and she couldn't get rid of big things, Shi Gui had nothing to do, so she took out the scroll given by Ye Wenxin.
Aunt Pei didn't stop at first, and her eyes didn't look over, until she heard Shi Gui turn the page, she looked over, and swept her fingertips: "You can read?"
Shi Gui laughed: "It was taught by the girl." โ
Aunt Pei never thought that Ye Wenxin would teach a girl to read and write, so she thought about it and asked, "But the kindness of the Yan family's girl?"
Since the Yan family, the palace people have left the palace and entered the Fengyang Center before they began to learn to read, as well as those old and sick eunuchs, and they have a good place to stay when they leave the palace.
The girl of the Yan family is about the same as the Yan family, Shi Gui nodded: "Our girl said that the work of education is not ten years and a hundred years, but the work of ten thousand years." โ
Aunt Pei's face was different, there was a girl from the Yan family, the more difficult her life was, the more grateful she was, but these people who were born to read and write and live a golden and noble life, mentioned her with a little hidden contempt, that is, the queen's mother, who did not come to the family banquet, and did not mention this sister in her mouth.
Aunt Pei was also released from the palace, only to know the benefits of this girl, the palace people also want to go to Suizhou, saying that because of the prevalence of female households, it is easier for women to buy fields and houses.
Aunt Pei has never heard the woman of your family praise her well, she was born with it, so she doesn't know the hardships, this Ye girl must also have a heart, nodded and smiled lightly: "This is a great merit, and someone has made an embroidered image for her." โ
It turns out that like Aunt Pei, if there is nowhere to shelter, she can only go to Guzi Street and work with those widows and cousins, although she is also self-reliant, but the things in her hands cannot be used for celebration, and she will embroider the Bodhisattva Guanyin statue for the rest of her life.
If you are lucky enough to marry someone to fill the house, you will release so many every year, and there are only one or two who can marry a small official, and the rest have lived a hard life.
Shi Gui felt more and more in his heart that Miss Yan was the same as her, otherwise how could she do such a big thing, and nodded, Aunt Pei only said that she couldn't feel this merit, smiled slightly, and lowered her head to do needlework.
When there was a voice in the courtyard, Shi Gui got up and lit all the lights, Mama Feng was fully prepared, the makeup was opened, and there was pollen rouge, Aunt Pei took out all the pollen and handed it to Shi Gui: "I don't need these, you can take them." โ
Not only are the clothes on her body plain, but there is only a silver hairpin on her head, and she can't smell the fragrance of flowers and leaves, she is clearly only in her early thirties, but she looks like an old woman, and she is the mother-in-law outside, and she is more fancy than her.
After she gave it, Shi Gui reached out and took the porridge from outside: "I don't know if it fits my aunt's mouth." Mama Feng prepared a small Chozi mixed fruit porridge, accompanied by three or four side dishes, mixed with winter bamboo shoots and walnuts, and a plate of โกโก cakes, which is eaten daily in the palace in winter, and Mama Feng specially asked people to make it and send it.
Aunt Pei smiled when she saw it: "Sister Feng Zhou Dao, I can't eat this stomach." Shi Gui added porridge for her, served the dishes, and ate a bowl with her, she has always eaten sweetly, and her appetite is excellent, even Ye Wenxin can eat a few more chopsticks when she looks at it, the more Aunt Pei looks at it, the more she laughs, she doesn't touch the meat, the first three goose fat buns in the cage drawer are all given to Shi Gui.
The buns were made to the size of a teacup, Shi Gui ate all the buns with mixed fruit porridge, Aunt Pei looked at her with a smile on her face, and ate slowly one bite at a time, Shi Gui knew that she had a bad stomach, she got up so early to work, and she was already hungry in her stomach.
When Ye Wenxin got up and had dinner, he changed into a small brocade jacket with apricot and red satin, set up a big screen in the hall, and lit the kang, Ye Wenxin smiled and added tea to Aunt Pei: "I don't even understand, my aunt taught me." โ
The girl in the room stood with her, and Aunt Pei only sat on half of the embroidery pier, blocking the tea: "The girl is serious, I just gossip a few words at will, if the girl is willing to listen, just listen." She has been walking around the palace for many years, how could she not know Ye Wenxin's thoughts.
Aunt Pei has lived in the Ye family for more than half a month, first said that the girl was sick and couldn't come immediately, and she didn't get better if she was sick intermittently, and she was still a delicate person.
If Aunt Pei knew that Ye Wenxin had a plan in her heart, she wouldn't have to bother with it, but at this time, she naturally had to put in a lot of effort if she wanted to do the errand well.
Aunt Pei looked at this screen and praised it first: "This is the immortal domain of the Yan family, and I have seen it in the palace." This sentence alone favored Ye Wenxin.
Shi Gui poured tea and offered it to Aunt Pei, Aunt Pei lifted the lid of the tea, smelled silver leaves, but I didn't mean that such a little girl would find out her preferences overnight, the silver leaves tasted light, and did not hurt the stomach, she drank this is indeed appropriate.
Ye Wenxin raised her eyes to look at Aunt Pei, her face was slightly red, her eyes were shining, and the corners of her mouth turned up to show a smile: "Auntie, have you ever seen Yan?"
"Blessed are you, I saw it once. As soon as Aunt Pei's voice fell, Ye Wenxin took a deep breath: "Auntie has really seen Yan's family, what is she like?"
"Two years ago, the queen's mother's birthday, the queen's sisters' sisters celebrated her birthday, Yan everyone had entered the palace, our palace people were favored by her, and there were many old and sick sisters in the foster center, everyone helped each other to live, and that day I wanted to see what kind of person this girl was. Aunt Pei's voice rarely fluctuated, listening to it soothingly, making people calm down unconsciously.
Ye Wenxin's cheeks flushed, holding his breath, although he wanted to ask, he felt that he had lost the rules, and he was still an unfamiliar person, so he only held the cup in his hand tightly and listened to her.
"Several girls from the Yan family were born well, and everyone in Beijing knows about them. "This is true, Shi Gui has seen Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Cheng, Mrs. Cheng is elegant and delicate, but Mrs. Ji is very bright, her daughter is born like her, with a pear vortex on one side, and her language is like Yanran.
Aunt Pei took a sip of tea: "A few people on the side, ordinary and common, this one is at the top, and at a glance, it is those of us who have been taught by our aunts all year round not to show different colors, and we are also very surprised." โ
Ye Wenxin couldn't help it anymore, and asked anxiously: "Why are you surprised?" Women in the world always value appearance, Mei Lang's poetry and beauty are paintings, it is rumored that Mei Lang is a rare handsome person, one of the two is unmarried and the other is unmarried, and it turns out that there has been a marriage, although there are many fabrications in this matter, but in the heart of the little girl, these two must be a pair of talented men and women.
Aunt Pei rarely showed a smile on her face: "Yan everyone is not like a boudoir daughter at all, if it is similar, it is a little similar to the queen's mother, but the spirit is not the same, the face is slightly dark, the words and deeds are crisp and neat, that year's birthday gift, the person next to her is embroidery, but hers is different." โ
"Is it a painting?" Ye Wenxin couldn't wait to stand up, his cheeks were hot, the backs of his hands were pressed against his face, his palms were slightly sweaty, and the whole person leaned forward.
"No, in the palace of the queen mother, there are many paintings, and we are also asked to take them out and dry them during the book festival. โ
As soon as this sentence was said, Ye Wenxin was stunned, and it took a long time to come back to his senses and pull Aunt Pei's sleeve: "Did she really dance the sword?
Aunt Pei chuckled: "It's really a dance, Mrs. Ji also played a piano." โ
Ye Wenxin was stupid for a while, Aunt Pei didn't bother her, Ye Wenxin has always used her as a guiding light in her heart, this time she felt that she was in a quagmire, and she was also trapped by herself, but now when she heard the deeds of such a person, it was inevitable that her heart was stirred, and it took a long time before she slowly exhaled: "It would be nice if I could see it."
Aunt Pei smiled slightly: "The girl has entered the palace, if there is creation, I am afraid that she will be able to see it." โ
Ye Wenxin's smile just now disappeared, Aunt Pei had seen her cheeks flushed and her eyes shining just now, but at this time, she smiled again, and stopped snooping, and then spoke in the same calm tone: "Let's talk about it first, how to look at people in the palace and how to reply." โ
