Chapter 49: Tricks
The excitement of March 3 does not seem to have anything to do with the Bai Mansion, the Bai family has three daughters in the boudoir in Beijing, but there is no spring banquet for the Daughter's Day, which seems somewhat unreasonable, and Mrs. Bai's statement is that she has been unwell recently and has to recuperate, so it is reasonable for the daughters not to hold a spring banquet.

While painting the patterns, Bai Qiyu and Qiushui Wenying discussed whether to embroider a few pairs of shoes or embroidered a small jacket for Xu Suxin's children, or a cloak, and the ongoing patterns were painted for Bai Shihua, because it was used on a more solemn occasion such as marriage, Bai Qiyu painted it very painstakingly and slowly, but a few maids were amazed and full of praise.
Xu Suxin is now less than two months pregnant, a month and a half younger than Bai Yuanchun, and when the child is born, the sky starts to get cold, and the small jacket is just right to use.
Bai Qiyu said, "It's better to make more, two pieces of small jacket and two cloaks, the eldest sister seems to be born more than a month earlier than Sister Su...... I will match the fancy colors, and you will be responsible for cutting and embroidery. ”
While talking about the division of labor here, there was a maid who said that the fourth lady was coming, and Bai Qiyu couldn't help frowning slightly.
When Bai Shihua entered the room, he saw the large pattern spread out on the table at a glance, and when he saw the festive flowers, he knew that it was prepared for himself, and couldn't help but smile, "Seventh sister is busy? I didn't bother you, right?"
This is a nonsense, Bai Qiyu secretly pursed his lips, and only said lightly, "Fourth sister, wait, it's going to be done soon, you can sit down first...... Wen Ying, tea. After speaking, he continued to paint by himself, Bai Shihua rarely did not put on a face, and sat on the side drinking tea with a smile.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Bai Qiyu finally finished drawing the whole set of patterns, went to clean his hands and changed his clothes, and then sat down next to Bai Shihua.
"What's the matter with the fourth sister's coming? The pattern you want has already been drawn, and you can take it back in a while. ”
Bai Shihua put down the teacup and said with a smile, "I'm not here to urge you, I'm just idle, just come and sit here with you, I heard that the sixth sister's family affairs have eyebrows, but is it true?"
Who is listening?
Bai Qiyu can't help but be funny, the rules have always been strict here, and the reputation of her daughter's family is extremely important, and some people in the house know about this matter before it has been decided, it can be seen that it is not a rumor, but someone did it intentionally, and it is not difficult to guess what the purpose is, Zuo is just a little careful.
"These things have always been decided by my mother, I don't know very well, and I don't know where it came from, what about the eight characters, and the fourth sister is also interested in this rumor?"
"Alas," Bai Shihua suddenly sighed, and said very melancholy, "Our sisters will be separated soon, it's really reluctant......"
Bai Qiyu knew that she was showing off again, and said quietly, "Fourth sister always likes to think too much. ”
Bai Shihua said, "How can I not want to, I will marry to the Shunping Mansion in more than two months, it will not be easy for us to meet in the future, don't alienate the seventh sister in the future, I am the ......"
Bai Qiyu said, "Fourth Sister Mo won't go back to her parents' house after she gets married, so you're worried that there will be estrangement?"
The sentence was not light or heavy, Bai Shihua raised his chin slightly, "Naturally, I want to go back, but I'm afraid I have to set up rules in front of the princess, I heard that the rules of the Shunping Palace can be strict, these royal relatives and nobles are different......"
Bai Qiyu listened to her pretending to sigh and couldn't help but look scared, it was really funny, but she couldn't send her away casually, so she had to listen patiently, and finally lasted for a long time, it was estimated that she finally said that she was tired, and seeing that Bai Qiyu didn't react, she stopped talking and found an excuse to go back.
Not only Bai Qiyu, but also several maids were also greatly relieved.
"It's finally gone!" Qiushui sighed.
Bai Qiyu smiled, "You can't stand this, you haven't married yet, wait until you get married and then come back and walk around, this Baifu's fourth aunt and grandmother are really majestic." ”
At this time, Bai Liuyun was asking Madame Bai whether the lotus seat under the foot of the statue of Guanyin was embroidered with pink silk thread or gold silk thread, and only Wen Hui was waiting in the room.
Bai Liuyun looked at the silk threads on the table, frowned lightly and said, "Mother has always had a good eye, or you can help me decide, I have been struggling with this matter from yesterday to today, and I always feel that I should use gold, but I am afraid that my skills will be self-defeating, and I feel that it is not grand and solemn enough to use pink......
Because it was prepared for Bai Yuanchun's joy, Mrs. Bai also attached great importance to this picture of Guanyin, and she decided on it after a few people discussed it for a long time.
Madame Bai smiled, "I said why are you worried, what you said is good, pink is lighter, gold is more suitable, as for your technique, I am not too worried, since you use gold, then the lotus seat under the feet of Guanyin should be more delicate." ”
Bai Liuyun took the opportunity to say, "What my mother thinks is really thoughtful, why don't I invite the seventh sister to help?" Then she smiled again, "The day before yesterday, when I was in Danxia Temple, the seventh sister was complaining about boredom, but I bumped into the mother next to Grandma Ding on the porch to send a young son, and when the person left, the seventh sister also said, 'How can such a son come to the backyard of this temple? ”
This casual joke seemed to be Bai Liuyun's unintentional joke, but Wen Hui frowned secretly, where did Miss Six say this?
Madame Bai took a sip of the teacup, narrowed her eyebrows and eyes slightly invisibly, and returned to a smiling appearance, and asked casually, "Oh, you bumped into Liu's nephew in the temple?"
Bai Liuyun smiled innocently, "Yes, I still stayed to say hello, the seventh sister said a few words impatiently, and then my mother accompanied Chen Gongzi to say goodbye and leave." ”
After speaking, he was curious, "Then why did Chen Gongzi go there? But he went to greet Grandma Ding? Then Chen Gongzi behaves moderately, and his words and deeds are courteous, he should be a scholar, right?"
Looking at Mrs. Bai's eyes, there was curiosity and inquiry, and she actually revealed her good impression of that Chen Gongzi in and out of her words.
Mrs. Bai froze when she heard this, and then said in a slightly cold voice, "How can you find out about these things when your daughter is married?"
I have to say that Bai Liuyun is very smart, she knows what Mrs. Bai hates the most, and she also knows how to touch her reverse scales, looking at Madame Bai's reaction under some temptation, Bai Liuyun, who walked out of the gate of the Graceland courtyard, looked happy, the corners of her mouth curled, and she did not hide her good mood. In this way, this matter, most of the time there will be changes, before that, I still have to embroider this picture of Guanyin, and wait for the show to be staged.
