Chapter 23: Apprenticeship
Chang Shi understood the stakes and said, "Master Hou, don't worry, the concubine's eldest maid Caiyun is now serving Hui Yu, and if there is any change, the concubine will definitely be notified." ”
Su Beihou nodded: "If that's the case, then it's very good." You have to be more careful in the Caiyun family, don't let that girl have a different heart. ”
Chang's heart sank, and he replied: "Master Hou reminded that the deed of sale of Caiyun's family is in the hands of the concubine, and Caiyun is extremely filial, so he will not dare to betray the long house." ”
The Marquis of Subei saw that Chang's was still on the road this time, so he didn't say more.
I was about to say something more, but I heard the maid outside announce: "Second girl, Aunt Yang is here." ”
Chang secretly laughed in his heart, this Aunt Yang is quite well-informed, and Hou Ye only had a cup of tea when he went to Hongfeng Courtyard, so she also came, and she looked jealous. Although I thought about it in my heart, I didn't show it on my face, and I drank tea calmly.
Subei Hou was unhappy. I went to the main room to discuss business, and after a while, the concubine came over, and brought her daughter with her, because I was afraid that the amount would not be enough, so I couldn't move myself?
When Aunt Yang entered the door, the main mother's face was expressionless, and the Hou Ye's face was slightly gloomy, and she couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, could it be that she had touched the moldy head? He bowed cautiously and stepped aside respectfully.
Su Beihou didn't look at her, and asked directly: "Sister Dan, is there something to find your mother?" ”
Danyu saw that her father had never looked at her aunt, and knew that her father was not in danger, so she smiled and said: "Today, my aunt's family sent some fashionable melons and fruits, and my daughter saw that they were very fresh, so she thought of sending them to her mother to try them." But I didn't know that the father was discussing things with the mother, and it was the daughter who was abrupt. ”
Seeing that Danyu spoke properly, Su Beihou's expression also eased slightly.
Aunt Yang was originally a good concubine, and her family was a landlord in the suburbs of the northwest city, and she often sent some melons, fruits and vegetables to the Hou Mansion.
Chang Shi looked at the green and green oil in the basket, which was indeed newly picked from the ground, so he called the little maid to take it, thanked him, and accepted it.
Danyu looked at her father and mother's face was pale, and said: "Dan'er looked at these melons and fruits, and she loved them very much, and she wanted to make some dishes with her own hands to honor her mother, but she was afraid that she would not do it well, so she thought about letting her aunt teach her tonight." ”
Aunt Yang also said: "The slave maid also persuaded the girl not to cook, and it hurt the girl's hand." But the girl knew that Mrs. Hou loved these seasonal melons and fruits very much, so she begged the slave maid to teach her. The slave and maid looked at the girl to the point of filial piety, so they responded. ”
also said that the mother and daughter can come up with any tricks, and they take out the food to talk about things, they really think of themselves as cooks. Chang said with disdain in his heart, thinking that he had to go to the Sifang Baihuayuan for a trip, first, to inform Huiyu that the Dingguo Mansion would come tomorrow, so as to prepare. Second, although there is no news from Caiyun, there will be an accident if you don't have it, so it's better to confirm it in person.
Chang then pushed the boat down the river and said: "Sister Dan has a heart." It's just that I have other things to do today, so I can only taste your craftsmanship another day, or the Hou Ye will try it for the concubine today, but don't let down Sister Dan'er's filial piety. ”
Although Subei Hou is dispensable to Aunt Yang, he still loves Danyu as much as possible for this daughter, and his heart softened when he saw his daughter's eager eyes, and when he heard Chang's generosity, he did not shirk it, and followed Aunt Yang and Danyu to Ziling Courtyard.
Chang's eyes saw the backs of the three people leaving, but he was a little unimpressed, but he felt that Aunt Yang was a little confused. Not to mention that she has only given birth to a daughter now, even if Lao Beng gives birth to a pearl and gives birth to a son, the distance from the Chu Dynasty is too big, and she basically can't threaten the title of Marquis of Subei. Not only that, with the attitude of the Marquis of Subei towards the inner house, Sister Dan's marriage in the future will inevitably ask her as the main mother, and now she is competing for favor so much, she is not afraid that she will find someone to marry Sister Dan in the future? Or do you see your soft-hearted nature, and you don't think you will treat your concubine badly?
Thinking about it, Chang still can't do such a ruthless thing.
It's just a daughter, that is, a dowry, and if you marry well, it can be a help to the Hou Mansion.
Now the top priority is to protect the future of the Chu Dynasty, and let the Dou family give birth to a son as soon as possible.
The more Chang thought about it, the more he couldn't sit still, so he called a big girl and hurriedly went to the four-room Baihua Courtyard.
At this time, Hui Yu and Crimson and Emerald Green were gathered around the Eight Immortals table in the hall, talking nonsense.
I saw that the table was on the table was the Luo Zi Mao cloak dyed by mulberry fruit before, at this time, the dyed place has been outlined with red silk thread a pansy, on the dyed purple, with different shades of purple silk thread embroidered layers of petals, looking lifelike, and then lined with the golden background of Luo Zi Mao, it is even more unique.
Listening to the constant praise of the girls, Rao is Caiyun is such a calm and calm person couldn't help blushing slightly, and said modestly: "It's also dyed just purple, the golden base with purple flowers looks good, if it is dyed in other colors, no matter how good my embroidery is, I can't do such an effect." ”
Emerald Green looked at the cloak not only intact, but also more eye-catching than before, so that her dereliction of duty could be wiped over, and she was very happy in her heart, and said fun: "Sister Caiyun is already very skilled, and now that even the Bodhisattva is standing on her side, other people's embroidery work is even more difficult to show up." ”
Qin'er saw that everyone was happy, so she hit Shi'er with her hand.
Shi'er knew that it was Qin'er's signal to let her speak, so she said: "Sister Caiyun's embroidery is really good, the embroidered silk thread can be thin, that is, it can be folded with a little effort, Sister Caiyun can use such a thin thread to embroider pansy, it is really ingenious." ”
Qin'er also said: "Yes, Shi'er comes back from Sister Caiyun every day, and she is always amazed by her sister's craftsmanship. ”
It turns out that there are little helpers. Hui Yu said in her heart.
Since Shi'er and Qin'er said so, it's not good not to mention Shi'er's help, and Caiyun didn't want to take credit, so he said: "Shi'er's sister comes to help every day, Caiyun is very grateful, and this pansy embroidery is also a credit to my sister." ”
I thought that it would be okay to give the credit to Shi'er, but Shi'er continued: "I just helped to wisp the silk thread, and I can't get involved in other work, but now I know that there are such amazing embroiderers in this world, which is really eye-opening." Shi'er dared to be in front of the girl and begged Sister Caiyun to accept me as an apprentice. ”
Caiyun didn't want to do more about this, so she hurriedly excused herself: "Sister Shi'er is too high-minded, my little work is a small skill of carving insects compared to the ladies on the needlework, and I am afraid that my sister will be crooked." I see that my sister's foundation is still very good, if I find a needle and thread to teach and teach, I think she will be outstanding in the future. ”
Shi'er still insisted on learning from her teacher.
The two of them pushed each other around, and it was not easy for others to interject.
Hui Yu, the master, couldn't help but say something, and said: "Don't be modest with the two of you, one has a good foundation, the other has high skills, don't say whether you worship or not, they are all on an errand under the same roof, just learn from each other and mention something, I can count on a few more skillful ones, and I don't have to worry about breaking a few clothes." ”
When everyone heard Hui Yu make such a joke, they all burst into laughter.
Even if the master opened his mouth, he didn't force him to give the title of master and apprentice, Caiyun didn't shirk it anymore, and responded with a smile.
Qin'er smiled and lowered her head, a hint of smugness flashed in her eyes.
The atmosphere in the room was peaceful, and I only heard the maid outside: "The eldest lady is here." ”
Everyone was silent for a moment, and Hui Yu also wondered, it was almost dinner time, why did Chang come over?
