Chapter 284: Embarrassing (1st Update)
Lin Feng's words made the old man of the Lin family tremble, yes, the eldest granddaughter of their family was married by the emperor and praised it personally, although the high priest said so, but didn't the emperor's face care?
Whether the high priest is right or wrong, it is all said by the high priest, and the high priest did the slap in the face, but if they follow it...... Thinking of this, the old man of the Lin family shuddered and glared at Aunt Du fiercely. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"The old lady is all the fault of the concubine, the concubine is concerned and chaotic, and when she hears the nonsense of outsiders, she asks the old lady to punish her. Aunt Du is an informed and knowledgeable person, knowing that Lin Meng needs someone to carry the black pot now, she immediately knelt down and said.
"Well, it's good to know, don't believe these gossips easily in the future, and stay away from those maids, it's all an unsuccessful thing. The old lady of the Lin family picked it up in front of Aunt Du, put it down gently, reprimanded her without pain, and then took Aunt Du away.
The remaining Lin Feng looked at the two people with cold eyes, turned around and instructed the person in charge: "Take someone to Jinping City, ask this matter clearly, and see what is happening in the city, why the Yang family wants to embarrass my Lin family!"
……
Three days later, in Qingping City, in the general's mansion, there was a lot of joy, and the Jiang family looked at his eldest granddaughter Lin Xi lovingly, with encouragement and belief in his eyes. The surrounding maids and ladies smiled stiffly, and they really didn't know what expression to use to watch the excitement at this moment, so as not to be implicated by the eldest lady who was obviously on the verge of anger.
Lin Xi sat upright, with a round table in front of him, on which there was a needle basket, at this moment, the wise and martial lady of the Lin family was holding a needle in one hand and a thread in the other, and was preparing to show her unique skills in threading needles and threads.
What's so difficult, it's just a female red, it can be more difficult than practicing martial arts? It can be even more difficult than cultivating? Lin Xi quickly finished threading the needle and thread, and then, blankly, glanced at a few pieces of bright red cloth in front of him, a circular circle, and various colored threads, and his mind was like a mess. She knew all of these things in their own place, but what was the use of them together? Hehe, don't ask her such unanswerable questions, okay?
"Miss, we have to choose a trick first. Cherry really couldn't stand it, so she said to Lin Xi.
"Pattern?" What is that? Lin Xi's heart was puzzled, and one flower after another bloomed in his mind, roses, peonies, or lilies?
"That's it, these are the fashionable patterns in the capital, and the third lady asked her to send them for the eldest lady to embroider the dowry. Cherry reluctantly took out a stack of patterns from the bottom of the sewing basket, and Lin Xi understood that the so-called patterns were drawings!
"Oh I see, I thought it was something weird!"
Everyone: "......" is just a trick, just listen to the name, you know, this is a very serious thing!
But any woman, from the age of five or six, should know how to embroider, how to draw patterns, even if you can't do it yourself, you should know a little bit about it. But looking at the appearance of her young lady, it is clear that it is beyond the scope of interest of a normal woman, and she has no sense of shame at all because she can't sew!
Lin Xi looked at these tricks selectively, but in fact, he didn't pay attention at all. What she thinks is that it is better in modern society, and she will give money directly if she sees which piece of clothing, or place an order on a certain treasure, which is convenient and fast, and she will take it and leave. Where is it like now, if you want to wear the whole dress, you have to measure the size first, then draw drawings, and finally sew it yourself, which is too difficult for her, a girl from modern times who takes a needle and thread for the first time.
And Lin Xi knew that women in ancient times, whether they were beautiful ladies or small jasper, were proficient in needlework, not only to make clothes for themselves, but also for the whole family. From the futon on the bed to the handkerchief in the hand, which is not the hard work and ingenuity of the girls.
In this comparison, her current scum ability is refined to that extent, and it is estimated that it will not be able to do it every few decades. Knowing that it was a waste of time and a big pit, did she still want to jump?
"Grandmother, we agreed that I would only make the shoes and socks myself. I don't care about other things!" Thinking of the clothes of the big family and the bedding to be used for getting married, Lin Xi decided that it was better to make it clear first, otherwise it would be really done, and four years would have passed.
"Knowing that you are not that material, I don't dare to trouble you, lest I make people laugh when I show my dowry in the future. But this, the groom's shoes and socks are not good for you to let the maids do. Jiang said helplessly.
Speaking of this, the Jiang family is angry, Lin Xi has not been good at needlework since she was a child, she thinks that the child will not be small, anyway, the Lin family does not lack those two silver coins, and can afford to raise an embroidery girl, and she will not need to do it herself in the future. But even if the girls of other people's families are not proficient in needlework, they will always take needles and threads, and they can almost learn a rough idea, and they are really married, which girl is not hiding in the house to embroider the dowry?
But her granddaughter is good, after the marriage, people are busier, sometimes she inquired and heard that the eldest lady went to the hospital again, then to Zhuangzi, and then to Qianzhuang, anyway, she was not in the house, Jiang was very helpless. She didn't expect the four screens and a few sets of bedding for marriage, and even the bride's wedding dress and hijab, she didn't have the courage to let Lin Xi do it herself, for fear that embroidering it would make people laugh to death.
But these small things such as shoes and socks, handkerchiefs and sachets, always have to be made some, and it is always difficult to let the maid do it for the man's relatives as a meeting gift.
The meeting ceremony is pleasant, auspicious and festive, to put it bluntly, that is, the female relatives of the family want to see if the bride is a clever person. For this reason, most people give small items such as shoes and socks and handkerchiefs.
Jiang Shi made up his mind to hone Lin Xi's needlework, so he said to Lin Xi that the shoes and socks used by the groom, as well as the things prepared for the meeting ceremony, she must embroider them by herself, otherwise she will not be allowed to leave the house! Lin Xi was anxious when he heard this, but he also understood that Jiang Shi was for his own good, so he could only go back, and he felt unspeakably aggrieved in his heart.
But Lin Xi didn't expect this embroidery to be so difficult, and once again pierced his hand, and the blood beads suddenly came out. Lin Xi looked at Jiang aggrievedly, and saw Jiang holding a tea bowl, pretending not to see her at all, Lin Xi's heart was not a good taste.
"Oops. Pricked again, the cherry on the side quickly tore off a piece of white cloth, wrapped Lin Xi's other finger, and now the cherry has been able to sum up the experience, that is, the young lady pricked a finger, she wrapped a finger, so, half an hour later, Lin Xi's fingers have basically been wrapped.
"That's it, it seems that I forced you! Let the maids in your house do it, but remember that you can only do it with one person's hand, and everyone will show their feet together." "Many big families also let the maids help with it, but this one doesn't move a stitch from beginning to end, and it is estimated that it is their girl. (To be continued.) )
