Chapter 23 The end of winter
When she came back from dinner, Mama Wei forbade her to do needlework under the candlelight, for fear of hurting her eyes, after bathing and washing, Li Xiaonuan held the books of the Great Wilderness Zhiyi borrowed from Gu Xiao, and she didn't know where she was.
Gu Xiao finished the window class, if there was nothing to do, he was tired of being on the couch in the east wing, while watching Li Xiaonuan do needlework, while pestering her to gossip, Li Xiaonuan was tired of being pestered by him, so he simply threw a book to him and asked him to read to her.
The weather is getting colder, and the sewing room has successively sent jackets and thin cotton clothes from each room.
At the end of winter, he frowned, and looked at Li Xiaonuan's jacket and thin cotton clothes with Mama Wei, and became a little angry.
"This is too careless, you see, this waist is two inches wider! It's not that I haven't measured the size! ”
"It's wide, it's wide, I'll change it for the girl, the girl's previous clothes were all made by me, and now if I don't do it, I really can't let go of it!"
Mama Wei looked at it carefully, and said with a smile, looking at Mama Wei at the end of winter, she blinked her eyes a few times, remembered what Li Xiaonuan had said, calmed down, and Mama Wei continued to look at the clothes,
"Mama is right, I see, the girl's clothes, as well as the cushions, bedding, curtains, curtains and other things in this yard, it is better to get the materials out, let's make them ourselves, the clothes of the ancestors, never let the people in the needlework room do it, they are all made by a few big girls in Ruixuantang, and I have embroidered two pairs of uppers for the ancestors before!"
Mama Wei paused and nodded approvingly,
"That's right, there are more than a dozen girls in our yard, half of the time are idle, if we make these things ourselves, these girls can also learn needlework, girls' homes, these are all things that can be around!"
At the end of winter, he was in high spirits, clapped his hands gently, and said with a smile:
"This matter is in Mama Zhou's hands, I'm going to talk to Mama Zhou!"
In the evening, in the east wing of Ruixuan Hall, Mrs. Li was crooked on the couch in the east wing, her eyes slightly closed, listening to what Grandma Sun was saying:
“…… At the end of winter, the girl went to Mama Zhou, saying that she would do the needlework in Songfeng Courtyard by herself in the future, and she just had to send materials over the kilometer, and Mama Zhou rejected it at that time. ”
Old Madam Li opened her eyes, turned her head to look at Grandma Sun, and asked in a deep voice:
"How?"
"Mama Zhou said, there are rules in the house, the clothes and jewelry of the young masters and young ladies should be worn, what to wear, what not to wear, what to wear, but there are rules, even if it is curtains and curtains, it is not that anyone can do what they want to do, if all the courtyards do what they want to do, wouldn't this house be messed up?!"
Old Madam Li nodded slightly,
"That's a good point."
Mama Sun smiled and nodded,
"Mama Zhou was originally a housekeeper in the Zhou Mansion, and over the years, she has followed Mrs. Stewardship and Director, and it is all right."
Old Madam Li nodded in agreement, slowly sat up straight, thought carefully for a moment, looked at Grandma Sun and ordered:
"At the end of this winter, I went to Mama Zhou to say this, I'm afraid that the clothes sent by the sewing room were inappropriate, let Qiushi go to Songfeng Courtyard, and put a box of snacks made in the small kitchen and send it to Xiao Nuan, you quietly instructed Qiushi, let her explore the words of the end of winter, and quietly inquire about it, she and the end of winter are the best."
Grandma Sun bent her knees and agreed, and Mrs. Li sighed softly and sighed with emotion:
"It's common for people to have their chins high and low, if Xiao Nuan can't see this, it will hurt her blessings."
"The ancestor is really, no matter how smart Miss Biao is, she is only a six-year-old child, even Mrs., and she hasn't been able to see such a human sophistication."
Old Madam Li laughed,
"You're right, it's what I think about, it's weird to say, Xiao Er is two years older than her, when I think of Xiao Er, I feel that he is still young, still a child, when I think of Xiao Nuan, I always feel like she is an adult!"
"Miss Watch's words and actions are so well-behaved that they are distressing, but she really doesn't look like a six-year-old child!"
"Alas, the children of poor families are in charge of the house early!"
Mrs. Li sighed slightly sadly, and Mama Sun also sighed, and the two were silent for a moment, Mrs. Li looked at Mama Sun and said contemplatively:
"What I mentioned at the end of winter is exactly what I want."
Old Madam Li paused, sighed sadly, and lowered her voice:
"Heng'er went, Xiao'er was still young, and her qualifications were ...... In the future, our Gu family still doesn't know how, even if Xiao Er can be lifted in the future, it will be seven or eight years later, and Heng'er is like that...... No, in the past seven or eight years, our family has to be cautious in everything, those useless pomp and circumstance can be avoided, and the daily use of the family should also be saved. ”
Grandma Sun nodded sadly,
"The ancestor said very well, now that we are mourning behind closed doors, the girls and mothers-in-law in the courtyards are also very idle, it is better to let them get some needlework to do, and it will save too much idleness to have accidents."
"You have a good point, a few days ago I thought about cutting this needlework room, our needlework room these embroidery girls, were originally selected from our embroidery workshop, and now let them go back to the embroidery workshop, the clothes of each courtyard will let the girls of each courtyard do it themselves, two or three years we guard filial piety, this clothes, curtains, all of them are plain, are very good to do, and so out of the filial piety period, this needlework has also been practiced, you can cope with it."
"The old ancestor is thoughtful, isn't that it!"
Mama Sun smiled and agreed, and Mrs. Li relaxed her body slightly and leaned back on the pillow, and said with a smile:
"Xiao Nuan, this girl, is a person who can live! I'll discuss this matter with Heng's daughter-in-law later. ”
Grandma Sun bent her knees and agreed, hesitated slightly, and said with a smile:
"Ancestor, this matter, I'm afraid that the girl at the end of winter made her own opinion, Miss Biao talks and does things, but she is very cautious, but at the end of winter, she is an urgent child, she doesn't think much about everything, and she can talk to Mama Zhou like this!"
Old Madam Li thought about it carefully, and laughed lightly,
"You have a good point, Xiao Nuan's girl, she is a little too cautious, and she is a little cautious, but I'm afraid that the girl at the end of winter is really making her own opinion! At night, I pay attention to Xiao Nuan, and I can see if this girl is making her own decisions at the end of winter! ”
Mama Sun smiled and flattered:
"If the ancestor is careful, he won't be able to hide anything from you!"
