082 How to Give a Gift
At the beginning of the summer, I leaned over to see the patterns she painted.
It is commonly used by children in the categories of "five poison maps" and "longevity".
"Why did you prepare so early?" She picked up a picture of the five poisons and took a picture of the window lattice: "It's not good-looking." ”
Mei pursed her lips and smiled: "It's just a good idea, you are still young and don't understand this." ”
Who says she doesn't understand?
At the beginning of the summer, he flattened his mouth, put it down again, and sat down on the side of the desk: "If you want me to say, it is better to make shoes and hats than to make small clothes, not to mention festive and exquisite, neither need to pay attention to men and women, but also waste good materials." ”
"There's some truth to that." Mei pondered and nodded.
Only then was the happy pulse diagnosed, and it was difficult to say whether it was male or female. People like them, although it is normal to give small clothes, but if they do it, they may not be able to wear them. The child's skin is delicate, and the swaddling clothes that have just been born can be embroidered with some patterns, and the small clothes are all selected cotton materials, the kind that is soft and breathable, and the flowers are not embroidered at all, for fear of wearing out the skin.
Children grow up fast, and three or five days are different. If the clothes are small, they won't have a chance to wear them, and if they are bigger, the materials will be old, and they won't be worn.
This kind of clothes are sent away, but they are just the bottom of the box, but they are really not as good as the little hats and shoes, they are beautiful and exquisite, and they can be worn twice.
Just as he was pondering, a maid brought refreshments.
Mei called her into the house, put the refreshments on the coffee table, and sat down with her sister-in-law. The little girl was about to retreat, but she said, "Go and call Qinghe." ”
"Yes." The little girl was busy and hurried away.
"The shoes have to be smaller," Mei twisted a piece of Poria cake into his mouth, took a sip of tea and said, "It's a pity that it took so much time." ”
"Sister-in-law directly gave the pattern to the second sister-in-law, it is not easy to use needlework during pregnancy, and it also saves her tired and eye-wrenching, and the second sister-in-law will definitely thank you." Xia Chu said disapprerovitically: "Pick up two brighter cloths and send them, whether she can make clothes or furoshiki, just do it according to your heart, and you don't have to work hard." ”
Mei Shi was stunned for a moment, and when she understood what she said about 'furoshiki', she almost squirted out a mouthful of tea, and hurriedly covered it with a handkerchief, before she reached out and pinched her face, and said, "You little devil, what kind of furoshi, that's swaddling!" ”
"Aren't they all the same?" At the beginning of the summer, she pinched her face and said with a smile.
Anyway, it's all made of boxy materials.
Of course, the child's swaddling clothes have to be wrapped in some soft cotton staples, which means that there is money to do this, ordinary people, cotton cloth is already amazing, where are you willing to use expensive white cotton to fill the quilt?
Mei Shi was speechless for a while, and had the heart to refute, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was really quite similar - even though no one would use expensive silk to make furoshi, but in essence, both are cloth, and some people will embroider all kinds of patterns on the furoshi in order to pursue good looks.
Mei, who was crooked, couldn't think of a rebuttal, and couldn't help laughing.
This smile was seen by Qing He, who had just stepped into the house.
I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief at the bottom of my heart.
Since the doctor was invited to the big room in the morning, and it was reported that the second young lady was pregnant, the girl ...... No, the young lady was a little sullen. Although Qinghe is still an unmarried girl, she is eighteen years old, and marriage has long been on the agenda, and she knows these obscure things.
The young lady has been married for more than half a year, and the mother-in-law followed her father-in-law to Jiangyin early in the morning, there are no rules to be established every day, and there is no concubine to add blockage...... I didn't think anything about it before, but when I heard the good news of the big house, Mei Shi was a little anxious.
The Xia family has already said that they do not accept the option of a girl in the room, and the two of them have long been psychologically prepared for matching, but they just have to wait for the young lady to gain a firm foothold at home.
What does it mean to stand firm?
The mother-in-law and father-in-law are still here, and the father-in-law and mother-in-law are also safe, so the option of the daughter-in-law becoming a mother-in-law is naturally avoided. In charge of the feed, there is no need to think about it, there is a big house, it is not the turn of the second room to do anything, and the second room of the feed has long been handed over to her, and even her mother-in-law's several properties in the capital have been handed over to her to take care of - not so much to help manage, in fact, it is to subsidize the eldest son in disguise, in order to make up for the regret of not being able to take them away.
As for the only sister-in-law in the family, she is also very lively, cute and considerate, not to mention the sister-in-law, they get along like sisters. Although the age difference is almost ten years old, Mei always feels that her sister-in-law is very mature and stress-free to get along with, and sometimes she is more thoughtful than her.
The only option left is, of course, the heir.
Not to mention that the firstborn gave birth to a big fat boy...... No one dares to be so sure, but even if it's a girl, she has to be pregnant to breathe a sigh of relief!
It's been eight months in the blink of an eye, but she hasn't heard from her at all, but there is good news from the big house, how can she get up easily?
The only thing that can be fortunate is that her in-laws are not around, so they don't add much pressure to her!
Qing He pondered like this, and couldn't help but glance at Xia Chu, did the three girls mean it...... Or is it intentional?
This is a profound question.
Emotionally, she would rather the third girl be intentional, which proves that her sister-in-law has a good relationship! A little bit of affection is not right, and you can see it.
But the family is only seven years old...... Isn't it too rebellious?
"Girl, you call me?"
"Well, Qinghe, you go find two brightly colored satins to come out, and ask for a good color, and a few patterns on the table, find someone...... No, you personally run it and send it to your second sister-in-law. When Mei saw her come in, she said with a smile: "The first is that I am different, and the child will not be born until it is a year younger, so we are in a hurry." ”
Isn't there a hurry...... It's that you're too sensitive.
Qinghe actually persuaded a few words, but Mei couldn't listen to it, and didn't want Xia Chu to do it in a few words, and felt that she was content, and felt that her young lady really didn't know how to hide it, and even a seven-year-old girl could see it.
…… How did she know, it wasn't that Mei's number was too weak, it was not easy for a girl of her age to do this! It's that the number of early summer is too high, and it makes people stunned.
"Yes, slave and maid will go." Qinghe immediately laughed happily and immediately set about it.
In fact, Mei still wanted to give a few instructions, such as explaining why she didn't go in person, but when she thought that it was Qinghe who went to give gifts, she was relieved - Egret was impulsive but couldn't speak, but Qinghe was safe everywhere.
Qinghe looked for something, and both satins were new this year, but they were not in her dowry - the things in the dowry, even a needle was not good to give away - but the new goods sent by the cloth village, one royal blue and one vermilion, both of which were excellent satin, and let Mei inspect it, and then she went satisfied.
Mei Shi breathed a sigh of relief, but heard Xia Chu suddenly ask: "Isn't there anything good in the second sister-in-law's house?" ”
