After saying the important thing, Yuexiang retreated. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Qingyun on the side asked, "Miss, it's not too early, why don't you go and get you some hot water to freshen up, you go to bed early, tomorrow, you have to get up early to make sachets." ”
Hearing this, Ning Jinyun shook her head, her apricot eyes were bright, and she didn't feel sleepy.
She looked at Qingyun and said, "Don't be in a hurry to sleep now, don't be busy yet, I have something to tell you to do." Do you know if there is anyone in Maple Court that we can use? ”
"Baofeng Garden......" Qingyun tilted her head and thought for a while, and finally thought of a available person, "Yes, Mother Liu in our courtyard has a daughter named Suihua, and Suihua is a maid in Baofeng Garden." ”
After all, the people who live in Baofeng Garden are not the main ones, and naturally they can't compare to the other main courtyards, no matter which person they are, they are not very willing to work in Baofeng Garden, Qingyun heard that some time ago, Liu's mother also asked around for help, and wanted to transfer her daughter to other courtyards, but unfortunately she was not willing to take out some money to get through the relationship, and this thing could not be done.
Ning Jinyun muttered thoughtfully, "Spike flowers? Mother Liu's work is quite safe, and it is estimated that her daughter will not be too bad, so okay, I will leave this matter to Suihua. ”
Qingyun was a little stunned when she heard this, she said suspiciously, "Miss, what are you talking about, what are you going to let Suihua do?" Is it related to Maple Garden? ”
Ning Jinyun didn't answer, she just nodded heavily, with a satisfied look in her eyes.
Then, she instructed, "Qingyun, you go to Mrs. Li's house in a while, and let her make a silk embroidered sachet before the Dragon Boat Festival. ”
Qingyun nodded in response, but she didn't understand, why did she want to make such an extra sachet for nothing?
She expressed the question in her heart, "Miss, who is this sachet you asked Mrs. Li to make, it won't be for the old lady, is it possible that you also want to be like the eldest lady and the third lady, you don't plan to make the sachet for the old lady yourself, but to find someone to make it for you?" ”
"How is this possible, grandmother is not easy to fool, I will not take this risk." Ning Jinyun smiled helplessly, "I will make the sachet for my grandmother myself, and the one that Mrs. Li will make has another purpose, you will know when the time comes."
Qingyun still didn't understand, but she didn't continue to ask, she knew in her heart, since it was said by Miss, then there was naturally Miss's reason, she just had to do what she was told.
Later, Qingyun went to Mrs. Li and told Mrs. Li about Ning Jinyun's request as it was, and asked her to make a sachet as soon as possible. Mrs. Li is the subordinate of the Red Peony Academy, who is responsible for sewing and weaving embroidery, and such a sachet is just a trivial matter for her.
Soon, five days later, it was the day of the Dragon Boat Festival.
Early in the morning, the maids put down a lot of wormwood and calamus on the door and in front of the window, and sprinkled some realgar wine, hoping that these things could ward off evil spirits and protect the house from disaster.
After breakfast, Aunt Wen called Ning Jinyun over, and she tied the colorful longevity wisps she made herself to Ning Jinyun's wrists and ankles.
Longevity thread, also known as five-color silk, is made of red, yellow, blue, white and black five-color silk thread or velvet thread, is the mascot ornament that children must wear during the Dragon Boat Festival, and the five-color silk symbolizes the five-color dragon, which can avoid plague and make people healthy and long-lived.
Aunt Wen's hands are very skillful, she weaves the longevity threads extremely exquisitely, and the small and delicate longevity threads are worn on Ning Jinyun's thin wrists, which are very compatible, and she can't see the half cheesy at all.
Ning Jinyun stared down at her wrist and looked at it for a while, she remembered that every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, Aunt Wen would personally make this kind of longevity for her, and every time, she did it very carefully.
She remembered that once, the third sister Ning Jinrao cried a lot because of this, she was only about ten years old at that time, and Ning Jinrao was only nine years old. During the Dragon Boat Festival that year, Ning Jinrao disliked that the longevity thread made by Aunt Li was not as good as the one made for her by Aunt Wen, so she had to take the longevity thread off her hand, but Aunt Li and Mrs. Ning did not allow it, so in a hurry, Aunt Li scolded Ning Jinrao loudly in front of everyone, and trained Ning Jinrao to tears.
Ning Jinyun can already remember all these old events, and she often finds some interesting things in the past in her memories.
Ning Jinyun smiled lightly, touched his wrist, and said to Aunt Wen, "Thank you, Auntie, with this colorful longevity thread you made for me, I will be safe and smooth this year." ”
Aunt Wen took Ning Jinyun's hand and smiled from ear to ear, "Silly boy, what else do you say to your aunt, as long as you can be free of disasters, your aunt will have nothing else to ask for." ”
Then, Aunt Wen said again, "By the way, how is your sachet prepared, are you going to send it to your grandmother in a while?" ”
Lifting the sachet, Ning Jinyun hurriedly pointed to the dark red brocade box in Qingyun's hand, and said with a smile, "It's ready, I stayed up late last night, and I finally finished the sachet, so I'm going to send it to my grandmother." Would you like to take a look at it first? She turned her head to look at Qingyun and motioned for Qingyun to open the box for Aunt Wen to see.
Qingyun nodded slightly, and then slowly opened the lid of the brocade box and presented it to Aunt Wen.
Aunt Wen looked over with interest, only to see a dark blue oval sachet in the box, the top of the sachet has a silk silk that is easy to hang, the lower end is tied with a string of jewelry tassels, and the sachet is embroidered with a cluster of bright peony flowers, and a mellow "Fu" word is embroidered next to the flower. Judging from this embroidery, it is not delicate and flawless, but it is indeed a heart, coupled with the pleasing pattern on this sachet, presumably even if Mrs. Ning is not full of praise for it, she will not find fault.
After looking at it, Aunt Wen sighed, "Yun'er, your sachet is really good-looking, I didn't expect that your female celebrity is already so good, don't worry, your grandmother will be proud of you when she saw it yesterday." Her tone was full of praise.
Ning Jinyun replied with a hippie smile, "Auntie has won the award." ”
After talking to Aunt Wen, Ning Jinyun and Qingyun took the sachet and went to Qixiang Courtyard.
As soon as he walked into the Ming Hall, Yuhuan beside Old Lady Ning came over to salute Ning Jinyun.
"Second Miss, the old lady is in the Buddha Hall, and she is not in the house now, the old lady has left a message, so let you sit and wait for her in the Ming Hall."
Ning Jinyun was not surprised by this, she knew that her grandmother had a habit of reciting scriptures in the Buddhist hall every festival, no matter what the festival was, and she still had to stay all morning.
Ning Jinyun said lightly, "That's good." I'm waiting for my grandmother here. ”
Yuhuan saw the brocade box in Qingyun's hand, guessed what was inside, and said, "Second Miss, give the sachet to the slave maid first." ”
Ning Jinyun glanced at her, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong, so he nodded and agreed.
