Sheng Weiqiao didn't really want to have a deep friendship with the Meng family, and she had a preconceived emotion of wanting to refrain from Meng Guihuan's invitation, and she didn't want to go even more when she heard that she wanted her to help, after all, she was really not very popular: where is the twenty-four filial father and mother willing to let her only daughter move the needle and thread? No matter how greasy and slippery the silk thread is, it will strangle her hands! What should I do if the needle is so sharp and hurts the tip of their heart? !

If it weren't for Sheng Weiqiao's being announced to Feng's ear when he grew up, he would have learned a little more with half coaxing and half persuasion, but I am afraid that he would not even have taken a needle until now. Pen·Fun·Pavilion www.biquge.info ̄)]sんц閣浼镄嗹載尛裞閲渎棢つw%w%w.%ā

And since Meng Guihuan dared to embroider "Nanshan Tu" to make a Chinese New Year's Eve gift to the Queen Mother, it can be seen that her embroidery work is at least excellent, if not to the point of being exquisite and unparalleled.

Sheng Wei Qiaoxin said, "What kind of eyes did I give you in the past?" It's good if you don't lose face!

immediately sneered: "Miss Eleven's words are really ashamed of me, my female celebrity is very bad, not to mention embroidering large pieces, even small things such as handkerchiefs and belts, I haven't done a few pieces in total, where can I give you a palm?"

Meng Guihan frowned when he heard this, and said in his heart that his sister is too stupid, what reason are you looking for to be bad, what kind of embroidery do you mention? I told you that this Miss Sheng San is probably quite favored at home, such a girl does not have to worry about food and clothing, and when she reaches the age when she should learn needlework, it is estimated that the family will not be very tightly supervised, so unless she is strict with herself, or has a special interest in female red like their cousin Meng Shixi, how can the craftsmanship be good?

He hurriedly remedied, coughed dryly, and said: "Eleventh sister, I am very proud to know that you have embroidered for a full year to embroider this "Nanshan Map", and I am eager to ask Miss Sheng San for a reward, but you must not be too proud, you must know that there are people outside the world, and your little needlework is nothing if you put it outside." That is, Miss Sheng San has a gentle temperament, and if she is as straightforward as Miss Zhao Er, I am afraid that I will laugh at you soon!"

When Meng Guihan said this, Meng Guihuan was a little embarrassed, but Sheng Weiqiao breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thought: "Isn't she really looking for someone to slap her hands on, but just hoping to get some appreciation? ”

She doesn't know how to embroider, but she still has the perfunctory effort to say a few good words.

Moreover, the brothers and sisters of the Meng family said it to this point, and if they refused, it would be as if they disliked Meng Guihuan's embroidery.

Sheng Weiqiao then said goodbye to Meng Guihan and Sheng Sleeping Crane, and went to her boudoir with Meng Guihuan.

This Chongxin Bofu, as the regulation of the Bofu, is smaller than the Ningweihou Mansion where Sheng Weiqiao lived.

However, because Meng Guiyu, who is in charge, has not yet married, and the second brother and sister have already married one, the mansion where the three brothers and sisters live now is still very spacious.

It's just that along the way, the carved railings and painted buildings, between the blue bricks and blue tiles, reveal the old and dilapidated atmosphere caused by poor maintenance and untimely repair. I think it's because Meng Guiyu has no time to repair the mansion in order to save money for his younger brothers and sisters.

It can be seen that Meng Guiyu loves his younger brothers and sisters very much, because in the details of this house, it is enough to see that the owner of this house is really a little short of money, and in the front hall where he has just entertained guests, all kinds of sitting and lying tools are just ordinary wenge.

However, in Meng Guihuan's boudoir, there is a full set of golden silk nan ebony furniture, especially the first golden silk nan ebony base openwork carved spring begonia mountains and rivers inlaid with ivory tortoiseshell tourmaline seat screen, exquisite craftsmanship, exquisite materials, at a glance is worth a lot.

Golden silk ebony is one of the most precious wood, this kind of wood is like its name, there is a natural formation of gold wire in the wood grain, it is not visible in the dark, it is shining in the strong light, not to mention, if you look at it while walking, you can see that the gold wire flows like a water pattern, looking both luxurious and vivid. Moreover, it is insect-proof and moth-proof[Note], and it is naturally shiny and bright, even if it is not painted, it is brighter and brighter the more you use it. It's just that its origin is in the south, thousands of miles away, and the cost of transporting it to the north alone is destined to be inexpensive.

Not to mention that this kind of wood is not directly cut down and used, but purple nan, zhennan, runnan and other wood in the water or soil buried for thousands of years after excavation, but also have to dry in the shade for three or two years before you can start to build, the folk have "even if there is a box of jewelry, not as good as the ebony side" said that it is precious, so this room of golden silk nan ebony furniture, the value can be imagined.

It is Zhu Huan Xiaozhu, where Sheng Weiqiao has lived for more than ten years, and there are few pieces of golden silk nan ebony furniture. Of course, this is not that the Sheng family can't afford this money, but because Jin Si Nan ebony is also known as gloomy wood, which is the first choice for coffins for dignitaries such as the royal family since ancient times.

However, the financial resources of Chongxin Bofu cannot be compared with the Sheng family, and after saving such a set for Meng Guihuan, it is estimated that there may not be a second set in the entire Bofu...... In this way, it is no wonder that Meng Guiyu has a reputation for trying to make money.

"This is the year before last, my sixth brother ran an errand that made the elders very happy, and specially rewarded this set of furniture for my sixth brother to use, and my sixth brother transferred me as a dowry. Because my family affairs have not been decided until now, I am afraid that few people will go to see it in the warehouse, and I don't know if it is broken, so I will use it first, and then clean it up when the wedding date is set. Meng Guihuan noticed Sheng Weiqiao's scrutiny and took the initiative to explain, "The main thing is that when my sixth sister-in-law enters the door in the future, this set of furniture may not be used, and it is better to use it than to use the ashes in the warehouse when the time comes." ”

She couldn't help but explain, after all, in her opinion, Sheng Weiqiao might be her future sixth sister-in-law, and the origin of her set of golden silk nan ebony furniture was not a secret. Even if you can hide Sheng Weiqiao now, in the future, Sheng Weiqiao will pass the door, and there will be a lot of people and maybe it will be leaked?

What if Sheng Weiqiao thinks that Meng Guiyu is partial to her sister and has resentment towards her husband and sister-in-law?

Sheng Weiqiao knew her thoughts, and said casually when she heard this: "This is also the rule of the day, before our girls leave the pavilion, we girls have to send someone to our husband's house to measure the size and set the furniture for the dowry, as a brother Ling, the sister-in-law who will marry you in the future, how can you not afford to marry a full set of furniture? ”

Meng Guihuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said in his heart that you can understand!

After solving this problem, Fang took Sheng Weiqiao to move to a separate room at the back.

This room is obviously specially used to make an embroidery room, empty nothing, the most eye-catching is an embroidery bed in the middle, at the moment is stretching about half a zhang long and about a foot wide "Nanshan Tu", depending on the situation has been completed, but there is still a little finishing work has not been completed, so it has not been taken down.

Sheng Weiqiao stepped forward to take a look, and sure enough, the embroidery was exquisite, and although the mountains and rivers and pines and cypresses were not lifelike, they also looked similar.

Considering that Meng Guihuan was downtrodden when he was young, he was the niece of the Empress Dowager Meng, and it was really hard to have such skills at this age.

She was ready to praise this girl when she came before, which would really feel good, and she was full of praise.

Meng Guihuan listened, with a smile and humility on her face, but there was a slight sadness in her heart: "Although this Miss Sheng San praised me, she didn't have a word in jargon, it can be seen that she just said that she was a bad woman, it may not be a humble word, but I am afraid that it is true." ”

Since ancient times, the standard for judging women is nothing more than De Jong ICBC, so down to the cheap maid, up to the golden branches and jade leaves, the skills of needlework are all necessary to learn, of course, whether you learn well or not is another matter.

To a certain extent as a layman like Sheng Weiqiao, it is not a shameful thing to say it, but it also shows how favored she is at home, and it is estimated that she has never touched a needle a few times in her life.

Meng Guihuan has always hated this kind of girl, this is what she admitted to Sheng Weiqiao before, although she took the initiative to reconcile with Sheng Weiqiao, yesterday she was ordered by Meng Guihan to get along with Sheng Weiqiao, at this moment, there is some sourness in her chest, and she secretly thought: " If our father and mother hadn't gone so early, and immediately bowed their heads to their aunt after the death of our grandfather and admitted their mistakes, the Meng family has risen so rapidly over the years, and I have fallen to such a point in the fourth room, in order to support my façade, the sixth brother also took out this set of furniture that the elders rarely and generously rewarded him for once?"

If she had been born poor, she would have admitted it.

However, she was born in a descendant clan, and her aunt had been the queen mother for more than ten years before she was born, but because her father was young and ignorant, she offended her brothers and sisters over and over again, causing her parents to ignore the four brothers and sisters. It wasn't until Meng Guiyu became the elder governor that he tried every means to get Aunt Jiaoyu's support, which made Zheng Guogong and Empress Dowager Meng think of their house, and their circumstances changed.

But even now, it's not very rich.

When it comes to actual life, I don't have the privilege of this girl from the remote Nanfeng County, and I really feel unwilling to think about it.

However, after thinking of Meng Guihan's advice, the love and compassion for the eldest brother Meng Guiyu also came to his heart, and this dark jealousy disappeared, and he turned his smile and spoke to Sheng Weiqiao: "Speaking of the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, although Brother Ling has not yet finished and has no grade, but my aunt likes you and Miss Ling Guiyu very much, maybe she will call you to go when the time comes?"

"Where do we have such a blessing?" Sheng Weiqiao's face changed when he heard this, because before Empress Dowager Meng asked Sheng Weifei to find a doctor to diagnose it, she would not be particularly resistant to entering the palace to accompany Empress Dowager Meng, but it also depends on the occasion: Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, that is an annual banquet, the former dynasty and the harem will attend, and even Emperor Xuanjing, who is drunk and dreaming of death all year round, will also show up with Ershu, who is famous all over the world.

On such occasions, a small thing may affect a lifetime.

Sheng Weiqiao naturally avoided it, and immediately said, "We haven't learned the rules! In Xinshou Palace before, the Queen Mother was kind, and she didn't care about us." But at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, the nobles were like clouds, and it was too much to say that so many nobles included us!"

Meng Guihuan saw that she didn't seem to want to participate in the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, so she was surprised, after all, their brother and sister had worked hard for several years to obtain this qualification, and they were about to persuade her that this was a rare opportunity to show her face and grow her face, and it was also very useful for helping Sheng Shenghe accumulate contacts...... At this time, a maid came to tell me outside, saying that Meng Guiyu was back.

Some people say that because the origin is in the south, there are natural enemies in the south, and there are no insects in the north. I don't know which one exactly, because I have never seen the real thing of Jin Si Nan Ebony......
