293: Embroidered Girl
The gift that Zhao Nanke gave her has now become the most tricky thing.
She is not the third lady of the Xia family in the past, she is now Mrs. Chang'an Hou, so she naturally has to pay more attention to her words and deeds.
Zhao Nanke gave her a difficult problem.
If she doesn't accept it, her former friendship with Zhao Nanke will be completely broken, and she may become enemies. If Xiao Jiu in this life is the same as in his previous life, he can't change his fate of rebellion, then Zhao Nanke will definitely make a stumbling block secretly at that time.
Zhao Nanke is a person who can hold grudges, which is the nature of businessmen.
If she accepts it, the people around her will know that after the night pearl is in her hand, her mouth will not be clean.
Rumors are an invisible weapon in this world.
Naturally, she had to take care of that.
After all, words are terrible.
Xia Ruan was on the soft couch, and after thinking for a long time, he said to Du Lan: "Take it." ”
Du Lan looked at Xia Ruan with a stunned expression, and asked tentatively, "Madam, what do you mean, bring it into the palace?" ”
"Hmm." Xia Ruan looked at the priceless night pearl in his hand, and pulled out a smile helplessly, "Take it." ”
Seeing Xia Ruan's insistence, Du Lan didn't continue to say more.
She didn't understand why Xia Ruan wanted to bring the Night Pearl into the palace.
In fact, it is also an opportunity to be able to bring it into the palace this time.
Xia Ruan didn't know the secret of this night pearl in her previous life, so she took it into the palace to test some people.
Since she will leak out the news of the Night Pearl after she gets it, it is better for her to release the news openly.
In order to relax her mother in the past few days, Xia Ruan has often walked around the Xia Mansion. The mother's face grew paler day by day. It seemed that he was not sleeping well, Xia Ruan was going to wait for Du Ruo and Du Ming to come back from Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city, so he asked Du Ruo to help his mother take a look. There are many things that her mother has to hide from her.
Although, she already knows everything.
In the past, she was a little selfish, but she hoped that her father would die sooner.
But my mother was afraid of her father's death, not because she still loved her father, after all, they had lived together for so many years, if they didn't have any feelings. Even Xia Ruan didn't believe it. The mother endured these pains alone. Xia Ruan wanted to help her mother share the burden, but she seemed powerless.
If the Queen Mother dies, then at the time of the national funeral, the news of the death of the father can also be released.
Xia Ruan thought of this. His brows furrowed slightly.
This time into the palace. I don't know what to expect.
Now it looks. The emperor is also obedient to Concubine An Guiniang, she can still enter the palace to accompany Concubine An Guifei Niangniang without a decree, what a great honor.
"Miss. Miss Thirteen is here. Duran entered the house and passed the news, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.
Xia Ruan saw Du Lan's embarrassment, and was a little puzzled: "What? ”
Duran lowered his head and couldn't help but mutter: "Chun'er is here too." ”
Du Lan really doesn't like Chun'er, since Miss Thirteen moved to Xianyaju, Chun'er will bring Miss Thirteen to greet Xia Ruan almost every day.
In a few days, Xia Ruan will enter the palace, and Chun'er even asks Miss Thirteen to come three times a day, many times Xia Ruan is tired, and still has to deal with Miss Thirteen with a smile. Duran is angry every time she looks at it, but she dares to be angry and dare not speak, after all, she is just a subordinate, and it is not her turn to speak when she reprimands the servant.
Xia Ruan saw the displeasure in Du Lan's heart and comforted: "It's okay, let them in." ”
Although Duran was unwilling, he could only turn around and walk towards the outside of the house.
Soon, Chun'er walked in slowly with Xiao Yuanxi.
Xiao Yuanxi's body is a little better than before, these days Xia Ruan personally cooked for Xiao Yuanxi to make medicinal food, and Xiao Yuanxi's pale little face was a little bloody, and the more he looked at it, the more moving it became. It's just that Xiao Yuanxi at this time has traces of cyan under his eyes, although there is fat powder to cover it up, he still can't hide the tired eyes.
Xiao Yuanxi barely cheered up and obediently saluted Xia Ruan.
Compared with before, she would still smile in front of Xia Ruan these days, although the smile was very shallow, it made Xiao Jiu look at Xia Ruan's eyes a little more surprised.
After all, Xiao Yuanxi used to be a very scared child.
"Xiaoxi come here." Xia Ruan beckoned, and then said to Chun'er, "Go and bring me the pastries in the small kitchen." ”
Chun'er was stunned, then glanced at Duran, and then replied lightly: "The slave will go immediately." ”
Xiao Yuanxi can write, and she rarely gestures in front of Xia Ruan, because she knows that Xia Ruan can't read at all. Therefore, Du Lan quickly took the pen and ink that was resting on the table and carefully placed it in front of Xiao Yuanxi.
Xiao Yuanxi smiled at Duran and expressed his gratitude.
When Du Lan saw Xiao Yuanxi's smile, his depressed mood just now was slightly better.
Like Xia Ruan, she felt sorry for this poor child.
It's still so small, but it has to bear so much.
Xiao Yuanxi picked up a pen and wrote on the white rice paper: 'Third sister-in-law, new tricks, look'.
After writing, he took out a few folded pieces of paper from his cuffs and handed them to Xia Ruan.
Xia Ruan took it from Xiao Yuanxi's hand with a smile, the painting on the paper was the pattern drawn by Xiao Yuanxi herself, her painting skills were good, so the patterns that came out were also vivid. Xia Ruan looked at them one by one, pondered very seriously for a while, and then said softly: "It's so good-looking, is this what Xiaoxi thought?" ”
Xiao Yuanxi nodded shyly, then couldn't help but yawn and smiled shallowly.
Xia Ruan suddenly understood that the child in front of him must have not rested all night.
She has always liked Xiao Yuanxi's embroidery, and she encouraged Xiao Yuanxi to embroider more, hoping that Xiao Yuanxi would become a confident person. This time, Du Ruo and Du Ming went to the outskirts of the city, also because they found some medical books, which were from the previous dynasty and were inconvenient to bring into the capital, so they simply went out of the city to see.
In these medical books, there may be a way to cure Xiao Yuanxi's tinnitus.
But Xiao Yuanxi still didn't speak.
Du Ruo said that Xiao Yuanxi was a heart disease, and if Xiao Yuanxi was unwilling, then her dumb disease could not be cured.
Xia Ruan touched Xiao Yuanxi's hair and thought slightly: "Is Xiaoxi tired?" ”
Xiao Yuanxi listened. Quickly shook his head, a pair of clear eyes widened.
Her eyes are very similar to Mrs. Lin's, very beautiful almond eyes.
Xia Ruan knew that it was impossible for Chun'er to come over for a while, so he put down the paper in his hand and brought Xiao Yuanxi closer, before whispering, "Xiaoxi don't stay up late to draw tricks in the future, you have to take good care of your body." When Xiaoxi was well, the third sister-in-law asked someone to invite you from Jiangnan to come over and teach Xiaoxi embroidery in person. A few days ago. I met Lan Niang in the silver building. She kept complimenting me on how good my sachet looks. ”
Xiao Yuanxi showed a look of surprise, and then gestured excitedly.
After waiting for a long time for her to compare and find that Xia Ruan couldn't understand, she turned around and grabbed the wolf pen to write.
It's just that. Xia Ruan understood the meaning of Xiao Yuanxi's gesture this time.
Xiao Yuanxi likes embroidery. Maybe it's because it's been a long time. I think embroidery is a good thing. That's why Xiao Yuanxi was so shocked when he heard Lan Niang's name.
Lan Niang is a Jiangnan woman and has the gentleness of a Jiangnan woman. It also has the exquisite craftsmanship of Jiangnan women. The phoenix robe worn by Queen Jiang when she got married was embroidered by Lan Niang herself, and the phoenix robe amazed everyone, but it also made Lan Niang's eyes not as good as before.
It is a matter of great effort and eyesight for a person to embroider a phoenix robe.
Although Lan Niang's eyes are not as good as before, her embroidery skills are still there.
Xia Ruan deliberately asked people to find Lan Niang, hoping that Lan Niang could come to teach Xiao Yuanxi in person, and the salary she gave was three times that of Lan Niang before.
Lan Niang was naturally willing.
She told Xiao Yuanxi at this time that she met Lan Niang in Yinlou, but she was afraid that this child would think too much, so she lied a little.
"My sachet is embroidered by Xiaoxi, Lan Niang likes it very much." Xia Ruan continued, "So, Xiaoxi has to take care of her body, and let Lan Niang teach you embroidery in the future, okay?" ”
Xiao Yuanxi listened, revealing a look of embarrassment.
Xia Ruan pretended to be puzzled and asked tentatively, "What?" Does Xiaoxi dislike Lan Niang? ”
Xiao Yuanxi hurriedly shook her head, she looked at Xia Ruan, and waited for half a ring before writing on the paper: 'I want to get a new sachet for the third sister-in-law', when I wrote this, Xiao Yuanxi paused, and the ink dripped on the rice paper, which quickly spread out, leaving traces.
Xiao Yuanxi wanted to tell the third sister-in-law that if she didn't get a new sachet for the third sister-in-law, would the third sister-in-law still like her as before.
After all, if she had learned from Lan Niang, she wouldn't be as idle as she is now.
Chun'er told her that she wanted her to embroider more things for her third sister-in-law. Seeing that autumn is about to begin, she can personally embroider patterns on new clothes for her third sister-in-law, such a thing is a little too hurried for Xiao Yuanxi, and she feels that she may not be able to do it well.
At the beginning, Chun'er also said that her embroidery was not good.
Xiao Yuanxi hesitated a little, she really wanted to learn embroidery, but she was afraid that she would not be able to take care of the third sister-in-law.
She couldn't write anymore with the wolf pen, she didn't know how to write her inner worries with a pen.
If the third sister-in-law doesn't like her, the third brother will definitely dislike her.
She knew that the third brother liked the third sister-in-law very much, and since the third sister-in-law started, the third brother's smile seemed to have increased.
In the past, the third brother was also laughing, but the third brother's laughter was not as good as it is now, and he felt happy from the bottom of his heart.
After a long time, Xiao Yuanxi slowly wrote: 'Don't Lan Niang, don't learn'.
When she finished writing, she put down the pen and no longer dared to turn her head to look at the handwriting on the rice paper.
Xiao Yuanxi was afraid that he would regret it, but he was even more afraid that the third sister-in-law would not like her.
And she was originally a little mute, and she was deaf in one ear, so it didn't matter if she was in poor health.
As long as she is not allowed to leave here, as long as she is not allowed to leave the third brother and her mother, she is willing to do anything.
As for learning embroidery from Lan Niang, don't think about that kind of extravagant expectation.
Xia Ruan looked at Xiao Yuanxi's face, and then looked at the contrast between the neat and messy handwriting on the rice paper, and felt even more sorry for this child.
It's just that at this time, she has to let Xiao Yuanxi know that some people's words can be believed, and some people's words can't.
Xia Ruan looked at Du Lan beside him and said slowly: "I remember that there is no medicinal porridge in the small kitchen, you ask Chun'er to cook more, and Hou Ye will use it when he comes back in the evening."
