Chapter 11 Birthday Celebrations
Although I found the craftsman, I left the repair to the housekeeper. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After all, Lan Sheng is not in the mansion, and I am a woman who is not suitable for them to deal with a strange man frequently. I didn't pay attention to this at first, but it was only after the butler knocked on the side that I understood.
A housekeeper deserves to be a housekeeper, and I should learn this kind of emotional intelligence......
I first shared my thoughts with the butler, and then asked the butler to convey them to the craftsman. If the craftsman has anything to ask, he will first tell the butler, and then the steward will bring it to me and ask me. After doing this repeatedly, I came to another insight: although the emotional intelligence of housekeepers is worth learning, it also makes things a lot more cumbersome.
I held the teacup and thought to myself, with so much time to pass the word, it would be better for me to supervise it directly next to me, so that the craftsman would have already started work.
I couldn't finish the renovation in a day, so I took advantage of this time to move the needlework to the east wing and asked Yueying to help me cut the clothes.
I have secretly asked a little maid about the size of my mother-in-law's clothes, and the fabric used to make the underwear is the thick fabric I brought from home, the fabric is very comfortable to the touch, and of course, the price is also very expensive.
Yueying cut the fabric according to the size I said, and I started sewing. Xu is the female craftsman's skills have been exercised to a certain extent when she sewed the wedding dress before, and she felt that it was easier to sew this time.
But you still have to hurry, after all, my mother-in-law's birthday is October 16, and it is coming soon.
Yueying was in charge of embroidering the ornaments, and I was in charge of sewing the fabrics, so it wasn't until the fourteenth night that we finished making a set of underwear.
I sewed the last lacing, yawning, piling my clothes in my sewing pocket, and stretching.
Yue Ying also felt relieved, and said while cleaning up: "It can be regarded as the sewing is finished, Zhu Niang is so attentive this time, the old lady will definitely praise Zhu Niang when she arrives." ”
There's no need to praise it, just don't dislike it. However, with the vivid "Purple Qi from the East" that Yueying shows, my mother-in-law will not dislike it. In fact, in this matter, it is Yueying who has contributed the most.
Thinking of this, I said from the bottom of my heart: "Yueying, thanks to you, otherwise I would definitely not be able to do this alone." ”
Yue Ying lowered her eyes and smiled, and said, "Zhu Niang said such things again, Yue Ying is a maid, this is what Yue Ying should do." ”
But in my eyes, there is nothing that should or should not be, only whether you are willing or not. But I looked at Yue Yingxian's quiet and beautiful side face, and I didn't say it after all. Saying something like that would only make her feel weird.
My eyes fell on the neatly packed stack of clothes again. This is the first time I have spent so much effort making clothes for an elder, and I think I have never made them for my father and aunt, not even shoes.
I felt a little guilty in my heart, thinking about the future...... No, what will you talk about in the future? Start tomorrow and make them a dress or shoes or something, make some a day, take your time, and then take them out to honor them the next time you go home.
But then again, when will the next time you go home?
Just thinking about it, Yue Ying wondered on the side: "Oops? Missing a needle, where did it go? ”
I touched myself and asked her, "Touch your body, be careful to tie it." ”
"Nope." Yue Ying stroked her whole body up and down, and looked around again.
The lights are like beans, and the candles are dim. I glanced at the ground and said, "It's so dark, maybe it's falling to the ground, let's look for it tomorrow." ”
"Okay." Yue Ying said, pulling the needlework bag again.
"Pack up and go to bed." I stood up and moved a little.
Mother-in-law's birthday is 16, and according to custom, mother-in-law should be given a birthday on the night of 15th. I first bought some flour peaches from the shop outside and sent them to my mother-in-law, and at dinner, I drank three cups of Magu wine in a row to celebrate my mother-in-law's birthday.
The mother-in-law also seemed very happy and said, "It's hard for you to be so attentive." ”
I smiled and said, "San Lang is not at home, Shuzhen should do more filial piety for San Lang to his mother." ”
Magu wine, like Jinhua wine, is a sweet wine, there is nothing in the mouth, and the strength of the wine will slowly rise.
After dinner, my whole body was hazy. After returning to the room, Yueying helped me clean up, and then I fell asleep on the couch.
Early the next morning, Yueying woke me up. I leaned back on the pillow for a moment, and suddenly remembered that today was a special day, and I was so excited that I immediately got up and went to bed.
After combing, I walked to the yard where my mother-in-law lived.
As soon as I entered the courtyard gate, I heard laughter in the house, and after careful identification, it was the voice of my mother-in-law.
I wondered in my heart, what kind of thing did my mother-in-law encounter to be so happy?
When I entered the house, I found a woman wearing a green skirt next to my mother-in-law's seat, and a silver hairpin was inserted in the woman's bun, with a unique style. The mother-in-law was holding the woman's hand and talking affectionately.
Seeing me enter the house, my mother-in-law beckoned, "Shuzhen is here." ”
I gave a blessing, took the clothes in Yueying's hand, held them in front of me, knelt down on my knees and said: "Shuzhen wishes my mother a birthday, I wish my mother a good health and a long life for Songhe!" ”
"Good! Get up! The mother-in-law said, "They are all good children." ”
The clothes in his hand were taken over by Mei Xiang. I stood up and saw the face of the woman next to my mother-in-law......
It's Aunt Qing!
I was shocked at first, then sad.
Didn't I expect it to be her? I just didn't think we'd see each other so early. Thinking about it, she is her mother-in-law's daughter-in-law "Qing'er".
No wonder my mother-in-law is so happy.
I couldn't help but look at her, at this time, Aunt Qing's eyebrows were light, her eyes were pure, and her smile was as gentle and lovely as in the previous life.
She bowed to me and said softly, "Yunqing has seen my sister-in-law." ”
She called me "sister-in-law"?
Of course she should call me "sister-in-law". At this time, she has not married into the Lan Mansion, she has not married Lan Sheng, and she is not Aunt Qing.
I was stunned for a moment, and replied kindly: "Hello lady." He walked up to her again and said, "I heard my mother-in-law talk about her mother-in-law, and I am fortunate to see her today." The lady is not only pure-hearted, but also well-groomed. ”
She blushed and said, "Sister-in-law praised it." ”
The mother-in-law said on the side: "Since you are so familiar with each other, the old body will not bother to introduce it." ”
I glanced at the shoes Yun Qing was holding in his hand and praised: "This is a satin from Jinling, soft and firm." After a closer look, he said, "The lady is good at needlework!" ”
Seeing that I praised Yunqing several times, my mother-in-law's mouth couldn't be closed, and she kept laughing "hehe".
Yun Qing was a little restrained at the bottom, and said modestly: "Sister-in-law has won the award." As he spoke, he glanced at the clothes Mei Xiang was holding in his hand, and said, "I applauded when I saw the 'purple qi coming from the east' on the clothes." ”
The mother-in-law became interested and said, "I'll take a look at ...... too."
