Chapter 223: Embroidery
The tomb of the lord of Ningxin County rose from the ground, he had been there twice, and only he knew the taste in his heart.
Dong Shengxing is not a stupid person, he knows what he can do with 50,000 taels of silver, not to mention that the silver and officials of the imperial court have not yet arrived.
And now it has been less than four months, not only has the county lord's mausoleum been built in the slightest, but even the county lord's mansion has already started.
He went to the county lord's mausoleum and the county lord's mansion several times, and the more he went, the more unwilling he became, and the more unwilling he was, the more he wanted to go and see it.
Now he was always thinking about how good it would be if their county lord's tomb was halfway through the construction and suddenly there was no silver.
Dong Shengxing's inappropriateness made Dong Dong's uncle find out, and within a few days, Dong Changshun looked for Dong Shengxing to talk.
Dong Changshun looked at Dong Shengxing and sighed: "Shengxing, I've worked hard for you this time." I know that you are not happy in your heart, but you must be clear about one thing, that is, the Chen family can have such a reward, that is, the Chen family has no official person. And the Chen family is dead, even if the court gives her the title of princess, what can it do? It is not hereditary. ”
Dong Shengxing nodded and said, "Yes, my nephew understands." ”
Dong Changshun continued: "It's good that you understand, for the Dong family, those false names are useless. None of us can guarantee that the emperor is unwary of them. Even if they hand over all the money they have won this time, it will only be the letter of the one above. So, don't think too much, take care of your family, and if there is anything else you need at home, just ask. ”
Dong Shengxing, who was dressed in filial piety clothes, nodded and said, "Let the uncle worry, everything is fine at home." ”
Now what can he do but say that everything is well? Looking at them Xi Dong now, he thinks that there is something wrong with the ancestral tomb.
Now that they are completely defeated, the fifth child who could still be counted on has returned to his hometown, and he has been worried about the past three years, and he doesn't know what will happen to the fifth child.
Look at the people of Xidong again, the people are thin.
In the second room, only Dong Wenchang and the one in Xue's belly who don't know whether it is a man or a woman are left;
There are only two men in the fifth room, the thirteenth master and the fourteenth master, and they have not yet been crowned.
No matter how enlightened Dong Changshun is, Dong Shengxing still has a disagreement with Dong Dong.
And Dong Ruyi has finished handing over all the silver matters with Mu Zhai, and he is finally busy.
She looked at the large boxes of property on the ground and said, "Is there only so many?"
Mother Xu looked at the boxes on the ground and said, "Miss, is this still less?" These boxes are not account books, they are all lists of the properties under Miss's name." ”
Dong Ruyi sighed, there was no excitement, there were too many people to feed.
Xiangju lifted the curtain and said, "Just now, Xing'er watched Mrs. Chen coming here from a distance. ”
Dong Ruyi put down the book in his hand and said, "Give me a change of clothes, I wear men's clothes all day, I'm afraid I won't even be able to walk in a skirt in the future." ”
Xiangju was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Miss is going to wear a skirt, so the slave will go and get it." ”
Dong Ruyi said: "Wait a minute, just twist a bun." ”
When Mrs. Chen came in, she saw Xiangju combing Dong Ruyi's hair again.
She stepped forward with a smile, "Why did Sister Ru put on her skirt today?" Then she took the grate in Xiangju's hand and said, "Give it to me." ”
Dong Ruyi said with a smile: "Sister Ru is done, so I want to change into the young lady's dress to talk to my grandmother." ”
Mrs. Chen combed Dong Ruyi's hair and said, "I see that your talk to me is fake, you are worried that your mother will come back, and you are afraid that she will see your appearance as a brat, which is true." ”
Dong Ruyi said: "The one who knows me is not my grandmother." ”
Mrs. Chen smiled, "You." But she thought in her heart, at least there are people she is afraid of, but she is not afraid of the earth this day, why is she afraid of her soft and weak daughter?
Mrs. Chen talked to Dong Ruyi and said, "Since you are free, I will teach you embroidery from tomorrow, when your mother was as old as you, she could embroider purses and handkerchiefs." ”
Dong Ruyi's eyes widened, and she said in her heart: "Grandmother is going to teach me embroidery?"
Dong Ruyi has never done embroidery work in two lifetimes, she read and wrote every day in the previous life and did not take a day's embroidery needle, in this life she has been busy working since she woke up, and she has never touched the embroidery needle.
Mrs. Chen said: "You are about to be five years old, and other people's five-year-old young ladies can't embroider purses." ”
After Mrs. Chen finished speaking, she got up and patted Dong Ruyi's shoulder, and then left.
By the time Dong Ruyi reacted, Mrs. Chen's cup of tea was cold.
Dong Ruyi sighed, she looked at her hands, because she had written a lot this year, and there was already a thin layer of calluses on her fingers.
Dong Ruyi said: "Xianglan." ”
Xiangju lifted the curtain and shouted into the courtyard: "Xianglan, Miss called you." ”
Xianglan hurriedly walked in from the courtyard, she looked at Xiangju and said, "Mrs. Chen is gone?"
Xiangju said: "Well, let's go." ”
Xianglan has become more and more energetic in the past year, and now she is only in the courtyard and is not going anywhere.
Whenever someone from the Chen family comes to the courtyard, she will stay away, after all, several masters of the Chen family often come over, and she doesn't want to cause any trouble to the young lady because of her face.
Xianglan came in and said, "The slave is here." ”
Dong Ruyi stretched out his hand and said, "Just my hand, can I embroider?"
Xianglan looked at Xiangju on the side, and then laughed out loud, "What does Miss do with embroidery? Embroidery can't be academic, and it can't make money." Those embroidery jobs, can't the slaves and maids do it?"
Xianglan now admires Dong Ruyi more and more, Dong Ruyi just writes and reads, and then how long has it been, not only has he become a master, but he has also earned countless silver with his fame.
And she also used her own silver to donate a county lord to Mrs. Tai back.
For the girls in the courtyard, the county lord of the Chen family was donated back by Dong Ruyi with silver.
Now Dong Ruyi is like a god in their hearts.
Dong Ruyi listened to Xianglan's words and said with a smile: "Originally, I thought the same way, but my grandmother came over today and said that she would teach me to embroider a purse tomorrow." ”
Xianglan was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "Although Miss is about to be five years old, fortunately, she is not very old, and it is not too late to learn embroidery, why don't you teach you first?"
Dong Ruyi nodded.
Xianglan asked the little girl to take her embroidery bag and embroidery bandage.
She took the needle and taught it carefully.
Dong Ruyi watched it for a long time, and then took the embroidery needle.
She carefully threaded it on the embroidered cloth, she looked at Xianglan, and said, "Is that so?"
Xianglan nodded, "Yes, that's it, and then wear it back from here." ”
Dong Ruyi nodded, embroidering slowly, at first glance it looked quite decent, she moved very slowly, for fear of piercing herself.
