Chapter 55: Kissing
The little emperor is a child's heart, and he wants to look good, but the Hou Mansion does not dare to slack off, and regards this as a gift to the palace, and it took a lot of effort to invite the royal embroidery girl in the needlework bureau, forcing Lin Zhixuan to learn a lot of exquisite kung fu, which is the embroidery girl in Beijing, and the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau is different from the Hangxiu, some of the stitches are far away in Hangzhou, and the step master is not allowed to peek at its subtlety.
Not only that, the embroidery lady of the Needlework Bureau also taught Lin Zhixuan a lot of rules for color matching, what kind of patterns can be used by the emperor, what kind of is a big rebellion, Lin Lin Zhixuan has been grinding for half a year, but she didn't dare to make clothes and the like, only made some small handkerchiefs, sachets, shoes, The puppets, the spices filled in the sachet puppets were still sent to the embroidery girls in the harem of the Internal Affairs Office, they didn't allow people outside the palace to make these spiced things and put them next to the emperor without permission, for fear of poison or something, so many people worked for the little emperor's words for more than half a year, and the little emperor also looked good at the beginning, and he didn't know where to throw it after playing for two days.
Later, every time he entered the palace, the little emperor remembered that Lin Zhixuan had lost everything he had given him, so he asked for beautiful embroidery things with his aunt again.
Lin Zhixuan stopped her when she saw that Lin Ruoxuan was half embroidery: "Sister, who did you learn this embroidery from?"
Lin Ruoxuan raised her head with a smile and said, "That is, I learned from the mothers in my house, and I can't go to the stage." ”
Lin Zhixuan said with a smile: "That's not true, I think my sister's foundation is very good, and her hands are dexterous, but she lacks a serious master to teach." ”
As she spoke, Lin Zhixuan took the brace and taught Lin Ruoxuan embroidery, and while the two were talking, Chun Tao came back from the West Courtyard.
Chun Tao opened the curtain and came in, and saw that Lin Zhixuan was holding a brace to teach Lin Ruoxuan embroidery, and it was not easy to interject, so she just stood next to Dongmei and waited, Lin Zhixuan also saw her, stopped her hand, and asked her, "How is it?"
Chun Tao asked, pondered for a while and organized the language before saying: "The eldest lady said that she was sick a few days ago, and the uncle and grandmother came to visit the eldest lady today, and they also sent a lot of local goods from their own Zhuangzi.
Then the uncle and the grandmother went together to invite the wife, the wife left them to eat, the second grandmother also went to invite the eldest lady and the fourth girl to come over, but the wife said that the third girl was not well yet, and it was cold today, so there was no need for the third girl to accompany her, only let the food be picked up at noon and send it, the grandmother and the uncle were going to visit the third girl, the wife originally stopped and said that it was time to eat, let the dinner come again, but the uncle said that he should come to visit his sister first, and pushed it for a long time, or the second grandmother jokingly persuaded him, thinking that he would come over after dinner. ”
Lin Zhixuan thought for a while but said, "Give me a change of clothes, I'll go over." ”
Chun Tao was very surprised, she originally thought that Lin Zhixuan hated Lin Yaxuan's mother and daughter very much now, and she would definitely not want to eat with them at the same table.
Lin Ruoxuan looked at Lin Zhixuan and sighed lightly, thinking that it was for Xia Lan.
Dongmei had already taken the clothes and changed Lin Zhixuan with Chun Tao, Lin Ruoxuan was about to step forward, but Lin Zhixuan stopped her, and said to her: "I just told my sister about the embroidery method of overlapping embroidery, sister go to practice first, and we'll talk about it in detail when I come back." ”
This means that she doesn't want Lin Ruoxuan to go, Lin Ruoxuan is also grateful when she hears it, she is embarrassed now, and she can't sit or stand on that occasion, Lin Zhixuan used to do it for Xia Lan's affairs, otherwise she wouldn't like to entertain the mother and daughter in the West Courtyard.
Lin Zhixuan had just changed her clothes, and Xia Lan also came in, Lin Zhixuan looked at her eyes were still swollen, and Xia Lan said embarrassedly: "I have compressed it with cold water, and it is still like this." ”
Lin Zhixuan twisted her eyebrows and said: "You and Chun Tao come with me, but don't go into the house, I just want you to go to the green bird this morning, when you get to your mother, then talk to the green bird, and help me inquire about what my mother is doing these days." ”
Xia Lan received the order, and Lin Zhixuan said to Dongmei: "Serve the second sister in the house." ”
Dongmei nodded obediently in response: "I know, girl, let's go." ”
Lin Zhixuan looked at Dongmei's petite and cute appearance, and her heart inevitably softened: "It's good to be a child." ”
Dongmei didn't understand what she meant, but she still smiled sweetly at Lin Zhixuan.
Xia Lan went to open the curtain for Lin Zhixuan, and Lin Zhixuan took Chun Tao and Xia Lan to Mrs. Wang.
Now that the rain has arrived, it is said that "the beginning of spring is getting warmer, and the rain is busy sending fertilizer", at this time the spring breeze blows all over, the ice and snow melt, and the sky is also moist a lot, although it is warm and cold at first, but the grass and trees are also beginning to return to green.
Lin Zhixuan was stuffy in the house for half a month and never came out and walked away, and now she has not been discharged from the main entrance, but took Qiu Ju and the two of them along the eaves of the corridor to the corner gate on the west side, out of the door to the east There are two wings of the corridor twists and turns, along the west corridor to the north, to the northwest courtyard, there are two maple poplars, can be hugged, the huge stem supports the sky, the branches are luxuriant, the surface of the courtyard wall is embedded with a number of carved bricks, depicting the story of historical figures.
This was originally the house of Lin Penghai's predecessor Lu Yunqing, the prefect of Hangzhou, Lu Yunqing and Lin Penghai are in the same family, and they can be regarded as nobles in Lin Penghai's officialdom, and they helped Lin Penghai a lot at that time.
And Lu Qingyun is a typical literati saucher, very fond of such garden architecture, at that time in Hangzhou as an official, fell in love with the old garden of the previous dynasty, and at that time this garden was still in the hands of a businessman, Lu Qingyun came several times to buy this garden, that businessman should not, after several entanglements, he actually married the daughter of the merchant to do a continuation, with this garden as a dowry.
But I don't want to, the daughter of the businessman is an extremely gentle and virtuous person, Lu Qingyun's original partner died at that time and had not married for many years, but now there is such a desirable person around him, but he sighs and hates to see each other late, and feels more and more that it is better to get this house than to get this Mrs. Lu.
That Mrs. Lu persuaded more, so that Lu Qingyun put away the thoughts on these playthings, and devoted himself to politics, not many years Lu Yunqing was promoted, entered Beijing to serve, and after stabilizing his foothold in the capital, he entered Beijing with his family, at that time, Lin Penghai also happened to get the lack of Hangzhou prefect, Lu Qingyun remembered his friendship with Lin Penghai, so he gave this house to Lin Penghai at a low price.
This house was originally a garden reconstruction, very spacious, and now it is given to the Lin family, even if Mrs. Liu brought her family later, it was never full.
The garden scenery is quiet and elegant, and there are some years of vicissitudes of the ancient, when Lin Penghai was an official in Hangzhou, there were often foreign visitors who came to visit, and they said that they had a glimpse of the style of the garden of the previous dynasty, but in fact, it was just officialdom.
Now that Lin Penghai has gone to Jeju Mansion, he is reluctant to sell this side of the house, leaving Mrs. Wang and others to live here, but there are few people who come to enjoy the garden scenery.
