In the Xuanxiang Pavilion, Yu Xuanji was reading a book with relish in her hand, and suddenly raised her head and asked Mama Qiao beside her: "Mama, is the old lady's birthday coming?" ”

"Yes, at the end of this month." Mama Qiao smiled and said, "Does Miss have a gift for the old lady?" At this time in previous years, all the young ladies tried their best to please the old lady, but every time it was the eldest lady's gift that was most in line with the old lady's heart. ”

Mama Qiao's words made Yu Xuanji fall into deep thought, to say that the most authoritative person in this family is not Yu Zhiyuan, but the old lady Zhang, Zhang has three sons and one daughter, her husband Yu Yan and her eldest son Yu Zhiqing were both killed when they killed the enemy on the battlefield, the second son is Yu Xuanji's father, the third son Yu Zhida was killed by bandits in business, and her daughter Yu Xinying is the current queen.

Zhang's personality is very strong, and after the death of his two sons, he was exempted from everyone's greetings, and only worshiped the Buddha in his own courtyard, and usually did not see her at all.

Despite this, Zhang's words are very heavy, and Yu Yuanzhi is also very filial to Zhang, and he can generally listen to what Zhang's says.

"Birthday gift ......" Yu Xuanji frowned slightly, and looked out the window with a pair of eyes, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes.

Zhang's belief in Buddhism, recalling his previous life, Yu Xuanji remembered that Yu Xinya gave a white jade Guanyin, which was deeply liked by Zhang's family, so that Zhang's vanity was greatly satisfied, so that Yu Xinya cared for her.

Yu Xuanji's eyes rolled and ordered, "Mama Qiao, prepare needlework for me." ”

"What does Miss Fourth want to embroider?" Mama Qiao asked with a smile, a trace of doubt flashing in her eyes.

Yu Xuanji smiled lightly, and Mama Qiao didn't ask again, and quickly took the needle and thread.

Looking at the things in the embroidery basket, Yu Xuanji fell into memories, in her previous life, she learned that the army's salary was not enough, and she was very anxious, and accidentally found a woman who could embroider double-sided embroidery, learned her skills, and made up the money by selling double-sided embroidery.

Thinking of that period of time, Yu Xuanji only felt that she was stupid enough, double-sided embroidery was a rare product in this period, and it was very popular with everyone, she slept for half an hour every day, took a lot of work, and when she got together the money, Chu Hongze didn't care about her body at all, and let herself lead the troops to meet the enemy!

That day, she fainted on the battlefield, and after the defeat, she heard Chu Hongze's blame, she didn't think so much at that time, and she was very guilty, and now she wants to come......

"Humph!"

Unconsciously, she snorted coldly, which frightened Mama Qiao, Yu Xuanji did not explain, took a needle and thread into the room, and found a fine Su embroidered brocade.

Mama Qiao looked at Yu Xuanji's back suspiciously, opened her mouth, but finally fell silent, closed the door for Yu Xuanji, and walked out.

Ting Lan Court

Ning Wan'er walked slowly and instructed lightly: "Mama An, take the white jade Guanyin with you and go to the Xinxiang Pavilion." ”

"Yes, ma'am!" Mama An hurriedly wrapped up the white jade Guanyin and followed Ning Wan'er's footsteps, "If the eldest lady knew that Madame went to see her today, she would definitely be very happy." ”

Ning Wan'er heard this, and a soft smile appeared on her face: "In the past few days, Ya'er should have figured out a lot, this white jade Guanyin was specially created by my father, if the old lady gets this white jade Guanyin, she will naturally be very happy, and she will like Ya'er when the time comes." ”

"What Madame said is that the eldest lady will naturally understand Madame's mind." Mama An nodded, and became more and more careful to hold the white jade Guanyin, the value of this Guanyin cannot be measured by silver taels.

The two came to Xinxiang Pavilion, and when Bao Ying Baorong saw it, he hurriedly saluted and greeted him, and then went to inform Yu Xinya.

Yu Xinya was worried, and when she heard her mother coming, she was so happy that she walked out; "Mother!"

"Are you alright?" Ning Wan'er asked with a smile, pinching Yu Xinya's face lovingly, "Thin." ”

"My daughter is fine." Yu Xinya smiled slightly, and then asked, "Why did my mother come?" ”

Ning Wan'er and Yu Xinya entered the room, sat down, and asked, "What have you thought of for the old lady's birthday?" ”

"Hey......" Yu Xinya sighed when she heard this, "Mother, my daughter is worried about this matter." ”

When Mama An heard Yu Xinya say this, she hurriedly handed over the white jade Guanyin in her hand: "Don't worry, eldest lady, Madame has already found this white jade Guanyin for the eldest lady, and she will please the old lady." ”。

Yu Xinya opened the red cloth and saw the white jade Guanyin with a lustrous luster, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she couldn't put it down: "Mother, grandmother will definitely like it!" ”

Ning Wan'er smiled and nodded, and then asked, "Have you ever asked what your other sisters are sending?" ”

"They just give what they embroider, and they don't have any heart." Yu Xinya said lightly, a trace of disdain crossed her eyes.

"What about Yu Xuanji?" Ning Wan'er picked up the teacup, and the corner of her eyes paid attention to Yu Xinya.

Yu Xinya was stunned for a moment, and then frowned: "It's my daughter's carelessness, my daughter will go to investigate tomorrow." ”

Ning Wan'er nodded, very satisfied: "Ya'er has really grown up." As he spoke, he stood up, "On the old lady's birthday, there will definitely be many dignitaries and nobles coming, and tomorrow my mother will ask Xiuniang to come and make a dress for you." ”

Yu Xinya understood what Ning Wan'er meant, a layer of blush appeared on her face, and she nodded shyly.

The next day, Yu Xinya sent someone to Xuanxiang Pavilion to inquire, and learned that Yu Xuanji was just embroidering things in the room, so she relieved her heart and looked at the white jade Guanyin in her room, and became more and more happy.

Since childhood, my mother has allowed herself to please my grandmother, and I have done it, but although my grandmother loves her, she still reveals her alienation, and if she can make her grandmother happy this time, I am afraid that my grandmother will treat her sincerely.

At night, Yu Xuanji changed into light clothes and left the general's mansion in black.

Yu Xuanji knows that in addition to power, this world must have both power and financial resources, looking at the shops on each side street, Yu Xuanji wants to open an embroidery shop, and this location is very important.

After glancing at it, he saw a small shop behind Wanhua Building, and his eyes suddenly lit up and he walked in.

"Eat objectively?" Xiao Er asked with a smile when he saw Yu Xuanji.

Yu Xuanji raised her eyebrows, there were very few guests here, thought about it, and asked; "Xiao Er, is this shop pù pan let?"

Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly shook his head: "No, no!" ”

"It's not a good business, so why are you staying here?" Yu Xuanji was a little puzzled and asked what she was thinking.

Xiao Er smiled happily and said, "The shopkeeper didn't speak, and we don't have much to say as Xiao Er, I'm really embarrassed, Miss." ”

Hearing this, Yu Xuanji didn't say anything more, and bowed slightly.

"Excuse me." Yu Xuanji's eyes dimmed, nodded, and left, she couldn't figure it out, the business was so bad, why didn't she transfer it out.

As soon as Yu Xuanji turned around, in the room on the second floor, Xuanyuan Hao flashed out and beckoned to the little er.

Xiao Er hurriedly walked up, entered the room with Xuanyuan Hao, and knelt down on one knee: "Master! ”

"Well, was the fourth lady of the General's Mansion just now?" Xuanyuan Hao leaned on the bed, his eyes deep.

The code nodded: "If you go back to the master, it is the fourth lady of the General's Mansion, and I want to ask if this store is transferred." The secret whisper said truthfully, and he was also very puzzled in his heart why this shop would attract the attention of the fourth lady of the General's Mansion.

"Oh? That's what she said? A hint of interest flashed in Xuanyuan Hao's eyes, he played with the wine glass in his hand, and said lightly, "If you spread the word, just say that this store sells it!" He wanted to know what Yu Xuanji wanted to do.

The secret whisper was stunned for a moment, and remembered Dark Lan's words, could it be that the master was really interested in the fourth young lady? It's weird!

The shop was not rented, and Yu Xuanji was not in a hurry, so she returned to the General's Mansion as much as possible, thinking of other ways.

After three days of work, Yu Xuanji finally showed off a picture of Guanyin, with a satisfied look on her face, and after a little thought, she rolled up the picture and walked out.

"Fourth Miss!"

Baoxing Baoyue saw Yu Xuanji and hurriedly saluted.

Yu Xuanji nodded and said lightly: "I'll go out for a walk, you don't have to follow." ”

"Yes, Miss Four!"

Yu Xuanji came to Baichun Garden, saw Lan'er, and hurriedly beckoned.

Lan'er saw Yu Xuanji, her eyes were full of doubts, but she still walked over: "Say hello to the fourth lady." ”

"Sister Lan'er is polite." Yu Xuanji smiled, hurriedly supported Lan'er, then handed the scroll in his hand to Lan'er, and whispered, "Sister Lan'er, grandmother's birthday is coming soon, this is my birthday gift to my grandmother, I won't go in, after all, I have a bad reputation, and my sister is tired of handing it over." ”

Lan'er is one of the four maids around the old lady, but she is the most liked by the old lady and has the most kind heart, so Yu Xuanji dared to give things to Lan'er.

Sure enough, hearing Yu Xuanji's sad words, Lan'er comforted: "If the old lady knew the thoughts of the fourth lady, she would naturally be moved, and the fourth lady should not believe the words of the Taoist priest in the rivers and lakes." ”

"Thank you Sister Lan'er for your enlightenment, then I won't bother Sister Lan'er." As he spoke, he smiled and turned to leave.

Lan'er looked at the scroll in her hand and walked into the back room.

"It's the four girls here?" Zhang turned around and asked slowly.

Zhang's body is fat, and he looks kind, but he is very shrewd.

Lan'er nodded and said, "Back to the old lady, it is true that the fourth lady is here, she is here to give the old lady a birthday gift, saying that she has a bad reputation, so she didn't come in." After speaking, Lan'er handed the scroll in her hand to Zhang.

Zhang raised his eyebrows: "Open it and take a look." ”

Lan'er opened it according to her words, and when she saw the vivid Guanyin embroidery on it, her eyes lit up and she looked at Zhang.

Sure enough, Zhang was also slightly surprised, took it, and nodded: "Yes, the four girls have a heart." Putting the scroll away, he asked, "What does Lan'er think of the four girls?" ”

Lan'er was surprised that the old lady would ask about the fourth miss, thought about it, and said, "The fourth miss is a very penetrating person. ”

"Hehe, yes, it's a perceptive one, I heard that her military exploits were led by Xu Boy?" The old lady asked with a Buddhist bead in her hand and squinted her eyes slightly.

Lan'er answered, seeing that the old lady didn't ask any more, she glanced at it secretly, but saw her get up and go back to the inner room and read the Buddhist scriptures.
