Chapter 268: After being scolded by her aunt, the eldest lady took over the work she assigned.
Zhang Jieyuan's favorite concubine Lu Lingzhu's unexpected and arrogant visit brought vitality to Zhang Mei's continued embroidery. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lu Lingzhu brought a bunch of old-fashioned satin clothes, and asked a strong man to help her carry them, including clothes, cloaks, quilts, and pillowcases...... There is everything, but the colors are relatively dull and elegant, as well as gold thread and silver thread, and Zhang Mei is required to embroider some embroidery products such as sun, moon, mountains and rivers and mascots, but the meaning of festivity must be completely eliminated.
Zhang Jieyuan's several concubine rooms, although Zhang Mei has basically never seen them, but they have all heard the maids talk about it, and she doesn't like it all, because she has heard Mrs. Zhang talk about it, and she is because they have lost their favor. It doesn't matter if she likes it or not, although they live together in Zhang's Mansion and are close at hand, they are almost in two completely different worlds.
Lu Lingzhu introduced herself again, and Zhang Mei is no stranger.
Although she really wants to embroider things, these days Zhang Mei can't help but draw and embroider on the ground with fine stitches and threads, or resist the desire and impulse, politely excuse herself, she deliberately coughed twice, "I've been a little windy recently, and my health is not very good, I'm afraid I can't embroider things." ”
"I'm not in a hurry, I'll just put these here for you, when you are in good health, when you hurry up and finish embroidering them." Lu Lingzhu is not in a hurry, she knows that embroidery is a labor-intensive job, which is the basic common sense that everyone knows, and she didn't want to embroider in a short time.
When the maid who brought in the tea saw these satins, her heart "suddenly" jumped, and the tray in her hands almost fell to the ground. She hurriedly stabilized, her face was still unsightly, put the tray on the table, put a teacup for Lu Lingzhu, and poured a cup of hot tea, "Auntie, please drink tea." ”
Then approached Zhang Mei and poured tea for her, and the maid deliberately approached her very closely, and whispered to her ear, "Miss, don't take this kind of work, this should be something for the dead." ”
"Huh?" Zhang Mei couldn't believe her ears, her big watery eyes opened wider, and her small mouth couldn't open or close.
Lu Lingzhu's ears are quite good, she is used to listening to the wind from all sides, seeing the wind and making the rudder, sitting at the same table, and not hearing anything. The maid actually understands that if she wants to hide her words, only she and Zhang Mei hear her words, I'm afraid they can't do it. She herself admitted, "Isn't it just something to be used on the dead, and what big living person wants to wear our girl's embroidery, but I'm afraid of being discouraged." Zhang Mei is from the underworld, and it is just right to embroider the things used by the dead. ”
"Auntie, which living person is not reincarnated as a ghost, not from the underworld, no different from me." Lu Lingzhu did such a thing, originally asking her, deliberately concealing the usefulness of these satins, and also making mockery of her, Zhang Mei couldn't help but refute.
"You are not like us, we are reincarnated as children of other people's families, and we look like the parents who gave birth to us and provided for us; What about you, whether you are reincarnated as yourself, who only looks like yourself, or the female ghost who almost scared the master to death, there is a world of difference, it is definitely not the same thing, don't be confused. Lu Lingzhu didn't open any pot and mentioned it, and said something to sprinkle salt on Zhang Mei's wound.
Zhang Mei's face turned red with anger, she stood up and grabbed Lu Lingzhu out, "Take your things and get out of here for me immediately, otherwise be careful that I will become a powerful ghost now and bite you to death." ”
"Are you angry, you think I am willing to come to your side, I won't come if you invite me, if it weren't for your father's dead heart and refusal to help our family more, your father's colleague promised to find an errand for my only brother to do, he heard and took a fancy to your embroidery, begged me to make a complete set of shrouds for his old father and mother, I didn't bother to get you here. If your father thinks I'm bad and dislikes me because of this, and I fall out of favor again, won't I fall into bad luck for the rest of my life? "Lu Lingzhu is still very aggrieved.
"Get out!" The hysterical Zhang Mei pointed her finger straight out of the door and drove Lu Lingzhu out.
Lu Lingzhu stood up angrily, "No big or small dead girl, if I didn't ask you, I would have to sue you in front of your father, and let your father clean you up; Don't think that just because I have a request from you, you can disrespect me,"
"I don't want to come back a second time." Walking to the door of the room, Lu Lingzhu turned around again, solemnly enlightening Zhang Mei, she must need her embroidery, and she can't find a second person to do these jobs, "Don't you just like embroidery, don't you feel uncomfortable doing nothing all day long, you embroider them all right, embroider them well, what about me, when the time comes, you will be given ten taels of silver as wages, you can use these ten taels of silver to buy some silk and silk thread, and continue to do your embroidery work." ”
If the money can't impress Zhang Mei, there is still coercion, "If you don't embroider, your father's colleagues will plead with your father, and your father will have to send someone to let you embroider, and I will sue you in front of your father." ”
"You think carefully about my suggestion, ask your old mother to give me a reply as soon as possible, and let her bring it to me when the embroidery is ready." After all the words were explained, Lu Lingzhu finally led Zhuang Ding away. Of course, they won't take the silk with them, they just put it down and ask for Zhang Meixiu.
was counted down and humiliated, and there was no way to refuse Lu Lingzhu's unreasonable request, owing his parents for their nurturing grace, gratitude, and honoring his parents, it is a matter of course; has nothing to do with Lu Lingzhu, she also ordered her to do this, do that, and look down on her. Zhang Mei's two small fists hit those satin clothes fiercely, as if they hit Lu Lingzhu, and they could get angry.
Since she can't put it off, she must accept this embroidery work, so the maid had to comfort Zhang Mei, "Miss, although Aunt Lu is not a thing, it is really hateful for her to let you embroider these things, but the things used by the dead are also embroidered by the living, so that you have something to continue embroidering, and she will give us ten taels of silver, we can use these ten taels of silver to buy cloth, buy needles and threads, and you don't need to ask the lord and the eldest lady for money, you can always embroider what you like." ”
Zhang Mei stopped her fist and fell into deep thought. The maid is reasonable, this is indeed the case, since she can't push it off, it was Lu Lingzhu who asked her to embroider, but it wasn't that she didn't listen to her parents. Thinking of this, she nodded, gently stroked the top layer of satin, sat down calmly, and began to sew needlework.
"Miss, that's right, we don't get angry, we see more of the good side of things, and sometimes bad things can turn into good things." The maid smiled heartily, and she deliberately smiled to Zhang Mei to listen to and see. She is the one who doesn't want to pick up the dead, and she is the one who agrees with her.
What can be done, when something must be done, and there is no ability to fight, you need to be content with the status quo and accept its arrangement. (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
