Chapter 23: Helplessness
In Chuchen Palace, a small servant hurriedly ran into the wind and rain building. Mingxin greeted him, and the little guy whispered in his ear a few times.
Mingxin frowned and entered the building.
Sima Yulou sat in front of the desk in a moon-white robe, holding a somewhat dilapidated book in his hand, and was looking at it carefully. When he saw him come in, he looked up and looked up as if asking.
Mingxin hesitated a little: "Listen to the rain and come back to report...... People didn't go! ”
A helpless smile appeared on Sima Yulou Qingjun's face, "Let him continue to wait." ”
After thinking about it, he put the old book in his hand into the drawer, stood up, and strode out, "Let's go." ”
Mingxin followed behind, put the plain Hangzhou silk crane on him, and asked, "Childe, where are you going?" ”
"Wuyifang!"
……
At lunchtime, Jin collected the embroidery frame according to the order, covered it with a piece of yarn, moved it to the east ear room, and locked the door.
Old Madam Qin asked people to come and spread the word last night, saying that Jinyi was going to embroider the Buddha picture these days, and there was no need to come in the morning.
Jin Yi thought that if she only hid in the house all day to embroider pictures, she really couldn't say it, so she went to Fuxi Hall with Jin Ru to accompany her grandmother to lunch.
Thinking about it all the way, it was really inconvenient to hide it like this and not let people see it, and I couldn't help but feel that Xiaolou asked her to live in the Marquis of Changfeng's mansion, and this arrangement was actually very proper.
Besides, Yirui is now in the Changfeng Marquis Mansion...... Although there is a slight speculation in my heart about what happened nine years ago, I still have to confirm it.
But when I thought of Mingxin's words, I was a little bored, that person was used to making his own opinions, and even Uncle Cheng teamed up with him to deceive himself, secretly a little unwilling, stubbornly thinking, and couldn't go.
Old Madam Qin asked how Jinyi embroidered, and she smiled faintly: "It's just the beginning." After a pause, "The silk thread is a little insufficient, and I want to go to the workshop with Sister Jinru to buy some in the past two days." ”
Old Madam Qin nodded in agreement.
After dinner, he still went to Changyuan Pavilion again, Jin Chen was taking a nap, Jin Yi went in to look at it for a while, and then put his finger on his pulse and probed, for a long time, he smiled comfortingly at Xie Shi who was nervous, "It's okay." Tomorrow will be the third day, and then I will ask Qiao Wei to send the new recipe over, and I will take it according to the new recipe from the day after tomorrow. ”
After returning to Fu Jinxuan, Jin Yi rested on the couch for a while, and continued to embroider. Jinru followed Qiaowei to the back of the inverted room to look at the flowers.
As soon as I embroidered a cup of tea, I heard a little maid report outside: "Miss, Mrs. and Miss Three are here." ”
Jin Yi was shocked, her brows frowned slightly, but she couldn't, so she had to come out, with a little smile on her face, and welcomed Xu and Qin Jinxiu to come in and sit down.
The Xu family returned yesterday, and they had an inexplicable fear of Jinyi in their hearts. She claimed the matter of the No. 1 Buddha map, and the two of them were even more surprised. After discussing it for a long time, I decided to come and explore her depths.
Jin Yi quietly invited the two of her to sit down, and ordered Cai Jing to serve tea. Xu Shi said with a smile: "You are busy, you don't have to greet us." I wonder how the Buddha picture is embroidered? As he spoke, he walked to the embroidery stand by the window, and after a glance, he exhaled in panic: "Embroidered so much?" ”
Jinxiu glanced at Jinyi suspiciously, and slowly stepped forward to look.
In fact, the outline of only a corner of the embroidery scroll was somewhat formed, but this had shocked the Xu mother and daughter. Thinking that at this speed, I may be able to finish the embroidery within a month.
When I raised my eyes to look at Jin Yi again, the color of exploration in my eyes was deeper.
Jin Yi complained a little bitterly in her heart, but she was still calm on her face, and said with a smile: "Qiao Wei embroidered for me all night last night, otherwise how could there be so much." ”
Cai Jing was a little unclear in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it, so she just stood aside silently.
Xu Shi suddenly heard this, although he still had doubts in his heart, he praised on his face: "The embroidery is really good, Sister Yi'er embroidery is exquisite, and it is worthy of Shang Xiutang." ”
Fortunately, just looking at the embroidery, I don't think it's very different, if she really saw the scene when she saw the brocade embroidery, I'm afraid she would be shocked to sleep unsteadily.
After Xu left with Jinxiu, Jinyi sighed, sat down and stopped moving the needle.
After a while, he said to Cai Jing with some annoyance: "I won't embroider today, put it away." ”
turned around and washed his hands, and went to the back greenhouse to find Jinru and the others.
Qiao Wei is repotting a cyclamen. Jin Ru was very interested on the side, and looked at the pots of Baozhu camellia, the branches and leaves were luxuriant, and the branches were full of buds.
Jin Yi stepped forward and counted them carefully, and said with a smile: "This pot is blooming, although it is not enough for the 'Eighteen Bachelors', but it can also make up the 'Thirteen Taibao'." Then I will take it and give it to your third aunt. ”
As he spoke, he took the scissors from the flower stand on the side and began to prune, looking focused.
Qiao Weiqi said: "Why don't you embroider?" ”
Jin Yi didn't speak, only concentrated on pruning. After a pot was cut, I looked at it for a while, and then I said quietly, "Just now, my stepmother took my third sister to see the embroidery picture, and I was shocked to see so much embroidery." ”
Jin Ru said indifferently: "So what? The second uncle and aunt used to make a big fuss. ”
Qiao Wei's face was sad, thinking about whether to open her mouth to persuade her, but she heard Jin Yi sigh and said to Jin Ru: "Ru'er, how long can I go to live with you?" ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Qiaowei was pleasantly surprised, but Lian Jinru was also full of joy, and applauded again and again: "Great, my brother has already said it, and I will invite you to live in a few days when you take a few days off...... Let's go and tell the old lady now that we'll move in tonight. ”
In fact, Jinru is in the mansion of the Marquis of Qingrong, far from being at ease in her own mansion, she is detained everywhere, not like she is in her own mansion, there is no elder to take care of her, and her brother loves her and everything goes her way. It's just that Jin Yi is here, and she is reluctant to leave, and when she heard that she was going, she pulled her away with joy.
Jin Yi stopped her with a smile and said, "It's still early at this time, you go out with me to buy silk thread first." I'm going to prescribe a new recipe for Brother Chen'er in the evening, and I'll give my grandmother to your house tomorrow, how about it? ”
Jin Ru pursed her lips and was a little refusing, and finally said: "It's okay to go over tomorrow, but go and tell the old lady now, and get up early tomorrow morning and leave." ”
Jin Yi was a little skeptical at this time, and she didn't know how to tell her grandmother, after all, she had just come back a few days ago. Jinru guessed what was on her mind, but she also felt a little difficult, thought about it and said, "I told my brother to ask him to come over and beg the old lady, and the old lady will definitely agree." ”
Jinru confessed to Rou Tao, went back to the house to find his brother, and advised: "If my brother is not at home, you will ask Uncle Shun to send someone out to find him, you must explain it clearly, and come to the old lady immediately." I told him that if he couldn't do this, I wouldn't make him a new robe during the Chinese New Year. ”
Jin Yi listened funny, Rou Tao repeated the words again, Jin Ru nodded solemnly, "Go quickly." ”
Qiao Wei said on the side again: "We have to find someone to move these flowers tomorrow." The Baozhu camellia will bloom in the next two days, so it will be sent to Mrs. Fan at that time. ”
Jin Yi smiled and watched a few people discuss with great interest, a little funny, "It's just that I will come back after staying for a few days...... Besides, the old lady may not be accurate. ”
Jin Ru didn't care, and his tone was sure: "Brother will definitely be able to get this done." Qiao Wei also discussed with Cai Jing what things to bring, chattering endlessly.
Back to the front, the two Jinyi sisters changed their clothes, took care of their makeup again, and then prepared to go out to Wuyifang.
Fortunately, at noon, Mrs. Qin had already agreed, and Jin Yi asked the grandmother who was in charge of going out from the foreign government to explain the stop, and sent two more grandmothers to follow, and a large group of people got into the carriage and went out of the house to Wuyifang.
