Chapter 56: It's Man-Made
She can't pin all her hopes on Xia He and Dong Xue, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and in just a few days, she can't know whether they are loyal or not? Moreover, the water in Ningguo Mansion is so deep, it is difficult to ensure that the two of them are not placed by her side by someone with a heart.
Now that even the "Flame Heart Sutra" could no longer continue to cultivate, Xue Qingyi suddenly fell into a dilemma. There are still seven days left before the agreed time with Jian Qiubai and Wang Xiaoer, but judging from the current situation, she can no longer wait passively.
After the lunch break, Xiao Chuchu came over, and when she came over, Xue Qingyi was drawing a picture of Ni Dress in the living room.
As soon as she came, Xue Qingyi hurriedly put down the paintbrush in her hand and smiled lightly, "Fifth sister, you are here." What am I looking forward to you? Sit down. After speaking, he ordered the winter snow to serve on the side for tea.
The two slaves took off their cloaks for Xiao Chuchu and stood aside to serve.
Today, Xiao Chuchu is wearing a light blue top and a small jacket of the same color, and a white pleated skirt underneath, with a light powder, which is even more moving.
Xiao Chuchu sat down, his little face was covered with a layer of scorn, and he said shyly, "Sixth sister, I only came to see you for so long, you won't blame your sister, right?" ”
"Fifth sister said with a smile, how can I blame you? The fifth sister came just in time today, and in the morning, my mother just sent someone to send a few horses of Gaochang's silk cotton, you can pick some up, just enough to buy winter clothes. ”
Xue Qingyi instructed Xia He on the side, "Xia He, you go to the warehouse and bring all the silk cotton that has been put into the warehouse during the day for the fifth lady to take a good look at." ”
Xia He took the order to go, Xiao Chuchu saw this, stood up and said hurriedly, "Sixth sister, Gaochang's silk cotton is so valuable, I'm afraid that the whole Jinling City won't be able to take out ten horses, and my mother must have obtained it with great difficulty." She was reluctant to use it herself, so she gave it all to you, how could I be embarrassed to accept such a valuable gift. Xiao Chuchu's pretty face turned red and twisted the silk handkerchief in his hand. Thinking of the silk handkerchiefs he had prepared for Xiao Yu, he suddenly felt that he couldn't take them.
Xiao Yu is so generous, her courtesy is too light in comparison. She subconsciously lowered her head.
"We are all sisters, so what's so embarrassing to be embarrassed about. Where does my mother care about this, we sisters are good, and my mother is really happy. ”
As he was talking, Xia He brought two maids, each holding two bright-colored Gaochang silk cotton, and Xue Qingyi instructed them to line up on the rosewood table and let Xiao Chuchu choose by himself.
In the end, it was a young girl, seeing so many brightly colored fabrics, Xiao Chuchu's face was full of excitement, and her cheeks were red.
Xue Qingyi smiled and gestured, "Fifth sister, how many more horses do you like?" ”
Xiao Chuchu replied softly, her gaze swept over the cloth one by one, and stopped on a piece of purple silk cotton, which could not be left.
But in the end, she pointed to one of the horses with a little worse color, and said, "Sixth sister, I want this one." ”
Xue Qingyi saw Xiao Chuchu's reaction in her eyes, she pointed to the purple silk cotton, and instructed Xia He on the side, "Xia He, leave this cloth and the cloth that Wu Niangzi personally ordered just now for Wu Niangzi, and the rest of the cloth is still put back in the warehouse." ”
"No, sixth sister, I only need one horse." Xiao Chuchu took Xue Qingyi's hand and excused himself. The sixth sister gave her her kindness, if she suffers it, then her skin is too thick, and she can't be too greedy.
"Okay, third sister, you don't have to be polite to me. If you're polite, I'll be angry. Xue Qingyi deliberately stomped his foot lightly, pretending to be angry.
"The sixth sister should not be angry, the sister will accept it." Xiao Chuchu took Xiao Yu's hand and said hurriedly.
She was even more grateful to Xiao Yu in her heart, hesitated for a moment, and said with a red face, "Sixth sister, I just embroidered a few silk handkerchiefs recently, and I brought them to you today, I don't know if my sister likes it?" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the slave maid behind Xiao Chuchu presented the silk handkerchief, Xue Qingyi took it with a smile and looked at it carefully. Xiao Yu, the fifth sister, except for a little inferiority in her personality, but her skills are good.
These two silk handkerchiefs have fine stitches, and the patterns on them are lifelike. A piece of embroidered is a purple phalaenopsis, and the phalaenopsis on the silk handkerchief shows the elegance and elegance of the emperor of the orchid.
The other piece is embroidered with a spirit fox, the little fox on the silk handkerchief has snow-white and pure feathers, round small eyes, and a slightly upturned big tail, which is almost like coming to life.
"The fifth sister's craftsmanship is really good, I can't even use such a beautiful silk handkerchief. Today, I took advantage of my sister. ”
"Sixth sister, don't laugh, just have fun, how can it be as good as my sister said." The sixth sister has really changed, she is smart and generous, and she is so good at thinking about people. How could her small object be compared to the silk cotton of Gaochang given by the sixth sister, she just didn't want her to be too embarrassed.
"Five ladies, our lady said yes, then your craftsmanship must be good, you don't know, our lady is not easy to praise people now." Xia He finished his errand and returned to the living room.
Everyone loves to listen to good words, although Xiao Chuchu felt that Xia He's words were mostly complimentary, but she still showed a happy smile.
Especially when she saw Xue Qingyi staring at Si Pa for a long time, she was even happier, it was rare that the sixth sister did not dislike the things she sent, and she loved them very much. She considered whether to send some more sachets next time, or embroider them on both sides for her sixth sister.
Xue Qingyi carefully put away the silk handkerchief. walked to the desk, took the picture of the neon dress on the bookcase, walked to Xiao Chuchu's side, handed the picture of the dress to Xiao Chuchu, and said, "Fifth sister, what do you think of this picture?" ”
As soon as Xiao Chuchu took the drawing, his face suddenly showed surprise. This is a picture of neon clothes, but it is different from the current picture of neon clothes.
This picture is top-notch in terms of conception and drawing skills. And the pattern is novel, the style inside is novel, changeable, and refreshing.
Xiao Chuchu looked at Xiao Yu in surprise and exclaimed, "Sister, when did you learn such a good skill?" If this is made into ready-to-wear clothes, it will not be snapped up by the nobles of Jinling City, this neon dress picture is really beautiful. ”
"Then what if this neon dress picture is matched with my sister's embroidery?" Xue Qingyi blew a cup of chrysanthemum tea handed over by Xia Hexin, and said lightly.
I, how can I do it? My sister doesn't want to laugh. How can my skill be worthy of my sister's good painting skills. Xiao Chuchu's eyes lit up, and instantly dimmed again. What can she do? She didn't seem to know anything, and the embroidered handkerchief in her hand was turned into a ball of twist by Xiao Chuchu.
"Fifth sister, it's man-made. If you don't try, how will you know you can't? ”
yes, how do you know if you can do it without trying? Xiao Chuchu was extremely excited in her heart, and for the first time in her life, she had the feeling of wanting to try.
