More Chapter 50 Embroidery

Deng Sui rubbed his sore fingers, looked at the Chu Ci copied by himself in front of him, the font was silky, less masculine, not discouraged, pushed the bamboo slip to a burst with his hands on his head, looked at the golden light of the sunset outside the window, squinted his eyes, and let out a long sigh.

Thinking of the day when I galloped outside the fortress and scared off the enemy soldiers, it was like a dream, far away, and I couldn't catch it. Zhao Yu came in from outside the study, and when she saw that she was stunned, she smiled and said, "Have you finished writing your chapter?" Madame said that if she had finished writing, she would go to her room, and she would like to ask you something. ”

Deng Sui nodded, "I just wrote it, but I still feel dissatisfied, my brothers have gone out to play, and my mother doesn't care about teaching, but she always looks at me, the only girl." If you practice calligraphy with your brothers, Sui'er's calligraphy will definitely be much more powerful! She picked up the book she had just written, tilted her head and looked at it for a while, but still shook it.

"Who's talking about us?" As soon as the voice fell, I saw Deng Kui, Deng Hong, and Deng Chang coming in from the outside, with the smell of dust in the autumn fields, as if I could see a piece of golden, a pool of autumn water lingering, and the maple leaves that filled the mountains were like pure mountain streams, and they were drunk when they smelled.

Deng Sui jumped up with a smile, threw himself in front of Deng Kui, pulled his arm and said, "Brother, you guys are going out to play again, be careful that your mother scolds you for a while!" ”

Deng Xun has a total of five daughters, the eldest Deng Qiu, who has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and now he has also become a school captain, and has served in the palace.

The second Deng Jing, who also served in Tingwei, just became a relative last year, and the husband and wife were affectionate, and they also put their parents aside. Neither of them was born to the Yin family, but they were both raised by the Yin family, and they all respected the Yin family and treated them like their own mothers.

And Deng Kui, Deng Hong, Deng Chang and Deng Sui are all from the Deng family, they are still young, Deng Xun is strict with him at home, and now he is out of the house, negligent in management, and his mother Yin and grandmother are more than doting, so they refuse to study hard all day long, and go out to play crazy every day.

Deng Hong sat directly in the corner of the case, stroked his palms and smiled: "Sui'er, if you don't tell your mother, she won't know!" ”

Deng Changshen mysteriously took out a few stones from his sleeve and handed them to Deng Sui: "Little sister, this is for you, the fifth brother fished by the stream for a long time before he got it, they are all beautiful stones, you see, are they good?" ”

Deng Sui skimmed Deng Kui and took the stones into his hand, and looked at them one by one, his little face was full of smiles, "It's so beautiful, did the fifth brother pick it up for Sui'er?" ”

Deng Hong said with a smile: "Listen to him, he wants to bribe and bribe our Sui'er, don't go to my mother to complain!" ”

Deng Kui glanced at the "Chu Ci" that Sui'er had just written, and shouted: "You still have the face to say, look, Sui'er's words are beautiful again, if a few of us don't practice well, and catch Ming'er's father back, we will have to be whipped again." ”

Deng Hong and Deng Chang thought about Deng Xun whipping people like a fierce god, and they couldn't help but shiver, and they also came to see Sui'er's words. Deng Sui looked at the stones one by one, leaving a few of his favorites, and giving the rest to Zhao Yu. When he saw them reading the words, he blushed, went over and grabbed them and said, "Don't look at it, it's so ugly." ”

"Sui'er, you are ashamed of your brother, a few of us wrote it, it's not as good as you, yesterday the master still took the words written by my brother and scolded us, saying that he wanted to tell his mother, you, don't let Mr. see your words. Otherwise, we will have to kneel under the corridor again. "Deng Chang is only one year older than Deng Sui, and he is the closest to her, like a good person.

"A few of you, you know how to go out to play all day long, and you don't study well, no wonder my husband is always angry these days, and says that he wants to write to his father, but I stopped him, otherwise, I don't know what chaos is going to happen. You are all older than Sui'er, Sui'er is a girl's family and still knows the etiquette of reading, you are all heroic boys, but you are not as good as me as a girl? As he spoke, he made a small face, just like a husband training people.

Deng Kui stuck out his tongue, "Sui'er, my brothers just took advantage of my father's absence at home to go out to play, and I didn't do anything bad, you are becoming more and more like a husband." The girl's house must be gentle and cute to make people like, so, we must start reading hard tomorrow, this time! ”

"This is what it looks like, you go to take a bath, change your clothes, and when you eat for a while, your mother will see your appearance, and tomorrow there will be no good fruit to eat." Talking and giggling, bright and beautiful.

The brother left the study in a huff, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Sui'er tidied up her clothes, and went to the main hall with Zhao Yu to see her mother, but saw Yin sitting on the couch embroidering.

Sui'er never dared to be coquettish to her mother like other girls, so she only bowed respectfully and called in a low voice: "Mother, what's the matter with calling Sui'er?" ”

Yin put down the embroidery in his hand and sighed lowly: "Sui'er, you have been studying with your father and brother since you were a child, and your mother has never said a word about you, now, you are growing up day by day, and sooner or later you will marry someone out of the cabinet, you should always know some of this girl's things!" Don't say anything else, you look at Li'er, although she has been proficient in everything since she was a child, the embroidered flowers and butterflies can fall on it, and she can play the piano, and her dancing posture is even more beautiful. If it's not that your mother loves to nag, you can't work on it. What is called Shiyun or something, no matter how much you know, you can't be an official, what's the use! ”

"Yes!" Deng Sui agreed, glanced at his mother, his eyes rolled around, and said with a smile: "Mother, Sui'er is still young, no matter how old it is, it's too late!" ”

"Nonsense, this is all kung fu practiced since childhood, how can you show up. If it is embroidered in the future, butterflies are like flies, lotus flowers are like cakes, and there will be no loss of death. Speaking of this, I also felt ridiculous, and I couldn't help but puff out of joy, and said: "I have already told your grandmother, and she has agreed that from today onwards, you don't have to go to the study to study with your brothers, just follow me to learn embroidery." I have found a master to teach you to play the piano and dance, and I hope you can do well before entering the palace. ”

"Into the palace?" Deng Sui was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to ask, but Yin interrupted her again and called: "Come on, bring patterns and needlework!" ”

Deng Sui asked in a low voice: "Mother, if I embroider well, can I go back to the study to study?" ”

Yin Shi was stunned for a moment, and deliberately said with a straight face: "Okay, if you embroider well, catch up with my embroidery, and your mother will promise you!" ”

Deng Sui's eyes lit up, "Mother has to be a word when she speaks, Sui'er will definitely work hard." ”

Yin smiled and nodded, and then taught her how to choose embroidery and choose fabric base. How to arrange the rhino stitches according to the color of the pattern, the density of the thread, etc. The mother taught her daughter very patiently, carefully, Sui'er was smart and good, and after a while, she began to embroider herself.

After a while, my grandmother came to pass the meal, and the Yin family took Sui'er to the main room, and Shangsui'er asked in a low voice: "Mother, what did you say about letting Sui'er enter the palace?" ”

Yin glanced at the beautiful Sui'er, with twelve points of satisfaction in his heart, and said softly: "Sui'er, this matter has been settled since you were born, our ancestor Yin Lihua, the queen of Emperor Shuwu, since then all girls will enter the palace draft, my mother didn't like to enter the palace back then, and there is no shortage of this glory and wealth in the family, so I followed my sex and married your father." ”

She paused, straightened her hair that was blown in the breeze, looked at the last remaining ray of light in the sunset, sighed, and said: "Although the Deng family is a high-ranking official, there are very few girls, except for you, there is only one girl, the child of your uncle's family, who also died early." Therefore, from the moment you were born, your grandmother decreed that you would enter the palace. Next year, when the new emperor turns fourteen, there will be a primary election in the palace, and my Sui'er is so beautiful, there is no doubt that she will be selected. So when my mother saw that you only knew how to study every day and did not work as a female worker, she became anxious. Come to think of it, there are not many days left, it is already autumn, and in a few months, after the first month, it is time to choose. ”

Deng Sui lowered his head, and touched the jade pendant on his waist that had never left his body, but his hands were still cold. His face was slightly pale, his expression suddenly darkened, and he said, "Sui'er is the bargaining chip for the family's eternal prosperity. ”

Yin glanced at her in surprise, then lowered his eyelids, and said: "Sui'er, you can't say that, you are a girl's family, enter the palace, enjoy the glory, and be respected, isn't it good, your parents will be old one day." Look at this eventful autumn again, which minister, that prince can never decay and remain undefeated, and how many can remain honorable? Your father has always thought that you are very human since you were a child, and he always deliberately taught you, hoping that you can rely on your wisdom to be invincible in the palace in the future. It's a hard time to be a parent, you should always know. ”

"Sui'er understands, Sui'er is obedient." Deng Sui suddenly felt a pool of tears welling up in his eyes, and then swallowed hard, thinking of Liu Qing's thin figure, he suddenly felt a cramp in his heart. I always thought that his confession at that time, in the future, he became his cousin, and now, if he enters the palace, who knows his little thoughts in the past few years? But the order of her parents cannot be violated, and she has understood the truth since she was a child. Suddenly, I felt uncertain, cold, discouraged, and my body became weaker and weaker, and I didn't even bother to move.

Yin Shi saw her stop, looked back and saw her pale little face, there was no trace of blood, he was stunned, a pair of beautiful eyes, and he was also less agile than usual, he was slightly surprised, and called: "Sui'er, are you unwell?" ”

Deng Sui was silent for a while, and said with a smile indifferently: "It's okay mother, Sui'er just felt a little cold in the night breeze." ”

Yin Shi said distressedly: "Look, it's still my carelessness as a mother, go, go and get a cloak." ”

The maid next to him ran away, Deng Sui smiled lightly, was silent for a while, and shook it, as if to erase Liu Qing's figure from his heart, "Mother don't worry, Sui'er is in good health, don't worry." ”

Seven days later, Sui'er came to Yin with the plum blossoms she had embroidered to compete for spring. Yin looked at the flowers, blooming brilliantly, and the mercury poured down on the pale pink branches, like clouds steaming and glowing, red as if they were about to burn. Shangshang is a little bit of snow, crystal clear, reflecting the topaz-like stamens, Yin Hongbao's hard-like flowers, complementing each other, adding more beautiful and arrogant bones, I don't know whether the snow is lined with plum, or Mei to the snow. The embroidery is fine, the layout is flowing, it is really like a living picture, and I can't help but secretly applaud, so I have to nod and smile: "You kid, you are really smart." If you like to read, just read it, but every afternoon, you must learn music and dance with the master. ”

Sui'er was excited, but the little knot in her heart was never untied. Less than a month later, he finally fell ill
