Chapter XII

After Dye Xiang recovered from her injuries in the room, she came back to serve Yan Zhaohua with Qingzhu.

The last time that big event happened in the Qingque Curie, now the atmosphere in the Qingque Curie has settled down a lot, and some of the people who had wavered in their hearts before are now stable, and the five people who were scolded by the cane are all Mrs. people, but the eldest lady didn't even blink her eyes when she dealt with it, except that she heard that the wife lost her temper in the main courtyard, but she didn't dare to punish the eldest lady, this move made everyone in the Qingque House understand instantly, even if the eldest lady was weak in the past, but once she was forced to be urgent, even the wife couldn't control it, not to mention, Ethically speaking, the identity of the eldest lady is not necessarily worse than that of the stepwife, and the deliberate avoidance of the eldest lady in recent years has made everyone ignore this fact - Mrs. She is a stepmother, and she has no grade on her, and she can't even enjoy the title of 'Mrs.'.

After such a mental struggle, everyone is no longer half-hearted, anyway, they are doing things in Qingqueju, and it is the eldest lady who can decide that they will stay, and there is no great profit against the sky, so I really can't be biased towards my wife to do that dangerous transaction.

Dye Xiang walked into the room with a tray and said to Yan Zhaohua: "Miss, the second son is not in the school. ”

As soon as he got up in the morning, Yan Zhaohua asked Dye Xiang to send Yan Ruiqian a pigeon wolfberry soup, and Dye Xiang came back to his life.

Yan Zhaohua was writing, and after listening to the words of Dye Xiang, he said, "Still don't accept it?" ”

Dye Xiang immediately put the things aside and knelt down to plead guilty: "The slave deserves to die." The second son said that he was not hungry now. ”

Yan Zhaohua still didn't look up, just waved his hand to dye the incense, and then said, "Put it on the fire and simmer, and I'll send it later." ”

Dye Xiang and Qingzhu glanced at each other, and didn't dare to say more, so they just answered 'yes' and went down.

Yan Zhaohua is wearing an elegant and plain white magnolia loose flower skirt today, covered with a hookah-colored satin embroidered robe, combing an ordinary ingot, decorated with only a slender hosta of white magnolia, and there are no accessories on the whole body, subverting the usual image of ringing and dingling. Although she is in the same boudoir, but Yan Zhaohua when she was a girl in the previous life was more gorgeous, because Yan Zhaoning was gorgeous, so her dress was the color of the big red fire, looking eye-catching and enthusiastic, Xie also liked to let Yan Zhaohua wear that kind of clothes, at that time Yan Zhaohua didn't know that she was not suitable for such a gorgeous dress, she was born slender and soft, her facial features were smart and exquisite, a pair of apricot-like cut pupils seemed to be able to speak, there was a kind of pure beauty that could not be blasphemed, dressed gorgeously, On the contrary, it hides its own ethereal and pure characteristics, although it is still beautiful, but after all, it lacks aura, and it is not as hot and natural as Yan Zhaoning.

This kind of situation was also realized by Yan Zhaohua later, but at that time, it was too late to change it, people's impression of her had already been fixed, and there was no chance to flip it again.

Yan Ruiqian is Xie Wei's difficult child, it is said that the mother and son were in danger at that time, Yan Xiu was decisive, and wanted to abandon the small and protect the big, but Xie Wei was unwilling, how could he not exchange the child's life for his own, after some struggle, the child finally came out, and Xie Wei also ran out of strength, the blood did not stop flowing below, and he died within two days, leaving Yan Zhaohua and Yan Ruiqian The two children, Yan Zhaohua is okay, Yan Ruiqian has been labeled as killing his biological mother since then, not only Yan Xiu has no feelings for him, even the Xie family has a lot of complaints about Yan Ruiqian, So that the two families did not care about this child, Yan Zhaohua was ignorant when he was a child, and together with others, he said a lot of hurtful things to the younger brother of this mother's fellow mother, and ridicule and ridicule often happened, and when she got older, she saw Xie Shi clearly, and gradually understood the situation of some younger brothers, and regretted what she had done.

She lived at the age of twelve, and the previous mean impression of her younger brother had already been formed in Yan Ruiqian's heart, it was not easy to reverse it, Yan Zhaohua went to the school to find him, but Yan Ruiqian avoided it, she could only send him something, but no matter what she sent, in the end, Yan Ruiqian either didn't accept it, and reluctantly took advantage of his absence to send it in, after he found out, he would also send her back very decisively, and resolutely not accept anything from her.

After the incident in Qingqueju, the Xie family was a little more settled, but that time, Yan Zhaohua completely broke the peace between her and the Xie family, and everyone in the house now knows that the wife and the eldest lady have torn their faces, and they are nervous, waiting for something to happen next.

But strangely enough, nothing has happened since then......

Seeing that it was the fiftieth birthday of the Duchess of Dingguo, Liu, the Xie family had been choosing clothes and jewelry for Yan Zhaoning these days, but they had sent some to Yan Zhaohua as before, but they were all put aside by Yan Zhaohua and didn't even look at it.

Yan Zhaohua has been staying in the embroidery room for the past few days, because although the screen given to the Duchess of Dingguo is embroidered, there are still some small flaws that need to be modified, these days Yan Zhaohua is tinkering with these in the embroidery room, because Hongqu and the other five slaves and maids have been sent out of the house, one of them is the maid who manages the embroidery room, after the maid left, Yan Zhaohua refused to accept people to come in to serve in Qingqueju, so he transferred Caixia from the clothing room to serve.

Qingzhu is good at words, dyeing incense and good piano, there is no research on female workers, the maid in the embroidery room is good at embroidery, and now the Caixia who has changed it only knows a little fur, Yan Zhaohua is very good at embroidery, in fact, Yan Zhaohua's entire girlhood is spent in embroidery, when she was three years old, she couldn't even hold the needle, Xie invited her to come back with a grandmother who retired from the Jiangnan Gong Satin Academy, and taught her to pinch needle embroidery every day, the reason Xie gave was that she was the eldest lady of Changning Houfu, To learn a beautiful female worker, in order to fight for face for Changning Houfu, Zhaoning is not the eldest daughter, but can be a few years later to learn, Yan Zhaohua was young at that time, although some of the people left by her mother told her that Xie was vicious, saying that she intended to delay her learning other useful knowledge, but Yan Zhaohua never believed it, but in fact, the reason why Miss Shijia can become a group of people admired by the world is not the same as the average boudoir daughter, who knows how to embroider, you don't know how to learn, even if you can embroider dragons and phoenixes, It's just a well-born embroiderer, and when Yan Zhaohua embroidered day and night, when Yan Zhaoning was three or four years old, Xie secretly invited her to a women's seat, and stayed with her as a nurturing grandmother to teach her to read and write, although Zhaohua was two years older than Yan Zhaoning, but it was not until she was eight years old that she began literary enlightenment, and her upbringing was the grandmother who retired from the Jiangnan Gong Satin Academy, and she could only embroider all her life, and she didn't know one of the other big characters, until she went to school, and the embroidery time became less, and the grandmother asked to resign and return to her hometown.

I only hate that Yan Zhaohua couldn't understand Xie's insidious intentions, but because of this, she learned this exquisite embroidery skill, and at the age of twelve, she embroidered such a large embroidery art.

"Miss's embroidery is really good, it's no different from the ones sold in the store." Caixia is the first day to serve today, and she can't help but want to talk to Yan Zhaohua, Yan Zhaohua seems to be in a good mood, hearing Caixia say this, she also hooked her lips and replied to her:

"Where there is a good embroidery in the store, but it is just a gourd to draw a scoop, and I am sick, and my hand with a needle is not good."

Caixia was happy when she saw that Yan Zhaohua was willing to take care of her, so she replied: "Miss is too modest, these screens are really the best embroidery that slaves have ever seen." ”

For such words, where would Yan Zhaohua not understand that it was a compliment, he didn't reply to her, but just collected a thread, just after receiving it, Dye Xiang walked in from outside the embroidery room, and came to Yan Zhaohua's ear and said:

"Miss, the second son received the notebook you sent."

Yan Zhaohua's eyes lit up, stopped the needle and raised his head, looked at the dyed incense, was stunned for a long time, and said, "Really? What did he say? ”

Caixia compared the needle in her hand to the side of the servant, this is the meaning of resting and talking to Dye Xiang, Cai Xia hurriedly stretched out, and put the needle in Yan Zhaohua's hand into the needle basket with some unskilled movements, Yan Zhaohua got up, walked out of the embroidery room with Dye Xiang, and whispered while walking:

"Tell me quickly, is the second son of the calligraphy satisfied? Did you talk to him? It's not for him, it's for him to take to the Xie family in a few days. ”

Dye Xiang nodded and said, "Having said it, although the second son did not give a clear answer, the slave must have understood the eldest lady's good intentions when she looked at him." It's just that what the slave doesn't understand is that the things given to Dingguo Gong should not be some weapons and military books or something? It is said that Dingguo Gong dislikes those civil servants in the court the most, and now you still let the second prince send him a notebook, will it make Guogong dislike? ”

Yan Zhaohua raised his eyebrows and smiled, the branches next to the two paths seemed to be enlivened by his smile, looking at the appearance of spring, stunned by the incense, Yan Zhaohua did not answer the words of the incense, just put his hand into the wide sleeves, stepped on the cobblestone steps, and walked up the corridor.

Everyone thinks that Dingguo Gong is a military general, do not like Wenchen, but few people know that Dingguo Gong loves calligraphy, especially wild grass, he grew up on the battlefield with the old Dingguo Gong, the late Lao Guogong is a Confucian general, since he was a child, he taught both civil and military affairs to Guogong, but later the old Guogong died on the battlefield, the young Guogong tasted the hatred of the country at a very young age, so he practiced martial arts vigorously, temporarily gave up the Wenlu, and later made meritorious contributions, drove the enemy out of the territory of Xiao State, and avenged the old Guogong, and picked up the books again, but at this time he was already the head of the generals, Saying the real preference will inevitably make people feel like a mother-in-law, so he simply won't say it, so few people know about it.

Yan Ruiqian is not liked by everyone, firstly, because Xie Wei had a difficult birth when he gave birth to him, and secondly, it is also related to his own unpleasant personality, coupled with Xie's provocation, Yan Ruiqian's status is even more precarious, Yan Zhaohua knows that his younger brother is pure and good, and he doesn't want him to end up in the previous life, and wants to try his best to help him, but in the end, what kind of help can be done, Yan Zhaohua dare not guarantee, after all, even she herself does not dare to guarantee that she will definitely live better than the previous life in the future.

Not long after Yan Zhaohua fell asleep at night, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside, and after a while, Qingzhu and Dye Xiang wore their coats and walked in with candles in their hands, Yan Zhaohua also sat up from the bed, and her pair of lacquer-like eyes under the moonlight seemed to have a demonic look of dialysis, only to hear Qingzhu hurriedly say:

"Miss, it's not good, the embroidery room is on fire."
