Chapter 170: Remorse

Xue Yao didn't go out from the main entrance of the upper room, afraid that Mrs. Chen would ask again when she saw it, but opened the corner door of the ear room and went into the courtyard.

As soon as the spring cold passed, the weather became warmer and warmer, and the ice skates on the eaves melted one after another by the sun, and the water fell from the eaves like a water curtain hole. Xue Yao saw through the water curtain that Xue Jiao was standing under the poplar tree in the yard, wearing a turquoise jacket, brittle like a vigorous flower tree. A pair of large, bright eyes looked at the sky, a round face with a joyful smile, and the broken hair in his ears was gently blown by the wind and scattered on his round pointed chin.

Xue Yao was shocked to find that in just half a year, Xue Jiao has been so slim, and she is no longer the girl who stands in the corner and is helpless and lets them change relatives at will.

Xue Yao opened her eyes and walked through the dense curtain of water, and the ice skate's water was cold and piercing down on her neck and into her back, and she couldn't help but shiver. Xue Jiao beckoned to her and entered the north wing together.

Qingyu sat on the chair, saw her come in, without any greetings, and smiled at her: "Now you can enter the Ding Mansion with peace of mind." ”

Xue Yao's eyes lit up, and she wanted to thank her, but her body had not bent down. A person came out of the oblique thorn, but it was Zhao who came in, and without waiting for Xue Yao to speak, he cried and scolded Chen Zichang and Qingbi, and Qingyu almost knelt down. She was dizzy by Chen Zi's anger, and she couldn't sleep with a painful heartache, and she saw Xue Yao enter the door of the big house several times, knowing that it was not a good thing, and begging someone to ask for Li's head was something she didn't want to see anymore, but she saw that her daughter was about to go out, and she couldn't go wrong at all, and now Qingyu was accepted as a concubine by Uncle Dingfu, which seemed to have scraped a layer of flesh on her body.

Li quickly helped her up. Qingyu looked at it and sighed again and again, and only said what she said when she met Qingyu with Xueyao's mother and daughter, Zhao wiped her tears for Xueyao to put down her body and thanked her, she knew that her daughter was begging Qingyu's head, and wanted to kneel down for Qingyu.

Qingyu waved her hand again and again, sat up from the chair, looked at Xue Yao and sighed, "After entering the Ding Mansion." The way is to go by itself. I can't ask for others. ”

Qingyu had a cold look on her face, and Xue Yao was stunned and gritted her teeth. He nodded vigorously.

Yesterday she received the hairpin from Uncle Dingfu, thinking that her status in his mind was unshakable, Qingbi was just a seasoned pickle after he was used to eating shark fin and abalone, and he regretted that he was hot-headed for a while. I didn't expect Qingyu's pace to be so fast. Three or two clicks persuaded Qingbi. Although Qingyu didn't tell her the specifics, it must have taken a lot of thought.

I knew that the veil with blood marks on that side would work. There's no need to ask for help, now I invite Qingyu to the door, maybe how Qingbi should be proud.

Xue Yao was ruthless in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. When I looked up, I saw Xue Jiao staring at her with melon seeds. Those smart and wonderful eyes vividly seemed to see the bottom of her heart, and Mrs. Chen never said that she hated the eyes of the children in the big house the most. There are countless words to say in the blink, which is neither like the Li family. is like Chen Zimin, who inherited the daughter-in-law in front of Mr. Chen.

Li Shi saw that Zhao's haggard face was haggard, she knew that Chen Zichang didn't care about reasoning, and Zhao Suri was a face-saving person, and she was afraid that this matter would not look good in the future. Although the Zhao family did not stumble on her in front of Mrs. Chen, and even now she still feels that the Dafang family is in the way of her eyes, and she is the most kind of person who will take revenge, but the matter of Qingbi entering the Ding Mansion as a concubine has spread, not only the face of the second family, but also the face of the entire Chen family, the Li family is the most important person who pays attention to the overall situation, and comforted the Zhao family: "There are so many things outside, who can remember that Qingbi was raised outside by the uncle of the Ding Mansion, and Xue Yao will get married in a few days, so it is time to prepare." ”

Zhao didn't think so in his heart, he just thought that Li didn't have a backache when he stood and talked, and his smiling face was all a joke about them. Li accompanied Zhao to talk about Xue Yao going out to prepare a dowry, and said some comforting words, when she was leaving, she brought a bowl of vegetables from the closet, put half a chicken cut in it, and wrapped a few big meat buns in steamed cloth, and asked Zhao to take them to the upper pot house to warm up with Xue Yao Xue Miao to eat.

Zhao didn't answer, Xue Jiao knew that she always speculated on the big house with the greatest malice, lest she end up eating people with short mouths and short hands. Li is a generous person, seeing that she didn't answer, I just thought she was embarrassed, Xue Miao wrapped her feet, and these days she often cries for no reason, and she wants to shed a lot of blood to make up for her body.

Li took the bowl with one hand, held the bun in the other, and arrived at the pot house in the interval with one step, Zhang was boiling the pot and opened the door to swallow saliva when he saw the vegetable bowl, and took a look at the Li family behind him, and took it happily, and said straight in his mouth: "The life of the eldest sister-in-law's house can be regarded as the life of a fairy." ”

Qingyu and Li said a few words, and went to the inner room to see Jinghao.

Jing Hao took an embroidery job, it is said that it is the spring dress of the lady of the extremely rich and noble family in Xuzhou Mansion, the family never wears the clothes of the embroidery lady outside, just because the family went to the embroidery workshop to buy a few strings, tied around the waist happened to be seen by the lady, this embroidery method has never been seen, so let the housekeeper go to the embroidery workshop to find the embroidery lady according to the embroidery method to cut a spring dress.

After receiving it, the housekeeper of the embroidery workshop hurriedly found Zheng Huozi and sent the cloth silk thread pattern overnight.

Jinghao's skills are becoming more and more proficient, and now it is to the bandage cloth is not described, the abdomen is drafted, the needle is as follows, and the embroidery is like the realm of painting, which naturally takes off the craftsmanship and is eclectic.

Qingyu saw a sigh of admiration, and Jing Hao saw her stepmother come in, put down the needle and stood up. A few days after returning home for the New Year's Day, I knew that this stepmother was a successful and kind-hearted person, so I was close to her in my heart. Xue Ru said goodbye, got up and poured a bowl of tea, and brought it in, and Jing Hao personally served it to Qingyu.

Qingyu took a sip of tea, pulled Jinghao to sit down, and picked up Jinghao's half-cut clothes to take a closer look. A set of clothes including skirts and gowns, first cut the fabric according to the size on the drawing, cut out the placket, back coat, left and right sleeves, and collar, and cut out the Fushou continuous Ruyi pattern hemming, with various colors of silk threads, piece by piece on the embroidery frame to embroider the needle, embroidery, and then add the lining sewing.

Embroidered eight Hunan skirts are placed on the kang, and the eight Hunan skirts are embroidered with beauties holding vases and flower arrangements, porcelain vases of various colors, and various flowers are inserted in the bottles, which are bright and charming. One bottle on each shoulder, three bottles on the front and back, or a beauty shrug bottle, or a plum blossom ear bottle, or a bead bottle, or a celestial ball bottle, or a red plum. Or insert peonies. The vase is decorated with magnolia, begonia, narcissus, cinnamon and other folded flowers, embroidered in a light color ink way, sparse and elegant. It is not complicated, but it looks particularly dignified and elegant, the neckline and cuffs are inlaid with mink fur, and the hem is embroidered with Fuhai Shoushan. The end is neat.

Qingyu saw that the whole dress seemed to be natural, and there was not a trace of stitches in the slightest, so she couldn't help but praise: "What a fine embroidery." ”

Xue Jiao came in with a plate of washed and chopped apples. casually continued: "I dare to guess that the best embroidery girl in the world can't compare to my cousin's craftsmanship." ”

Jing Hao was playing the tie, holding the colorless silk thread in his hand to match the color, and when he heard this, he smiled and said, "I'm just doing nothing to embroider and play." It's as good as you say. ”

A pomegranate flower came out three times and two times in his hand, and Qingbi praised it again: "It's so good to embroider when you have nothing to do, if you get serious." The embroidery girls in the world can't catch the work. ”

Everyone laughed when they said a word, and Qingyu told Jing Hao: "Work slowly and work carefully." You don't have to embroider every day, those embroiderers who have accumulated years, don't pay attention to the package, don't spend more than forty eyes, and the back is hunched. ”

Jing Hao smiled brightly, and did not stop the rhythm of the tie: "After embroidering this dress, I need to rest for a few days." ”

Because Jinghao and Xueru do embroidery work every day, ten fingers stretched out in the air, a few days ago it was cold in spring, Xueru and Jinghao's fingers were frozen and swollen, so Li was in their room day and night with a brazier, the room was warm, Xuejiao sat on the back of sweat, and opened the window, the sky was already warm, and the wind blew in and didn't feel cold.

Outside, the sound of Qi Ping and Qi An reading, one Lang Lang is like a clear spring in the mountains, and the other is crisp like a cuckoo out of the valley mountain.

The tea in the tea bowl was already cold, Li personally sent a bowl of tea, and seeing that it was still early, it was not time to make dinner, so he sat down and helped Jing Hao embroider a few flowers.

Qingyu helped pull the thread beside her, and sighed after a long time and said, "When I was as old as Xuejiao, there was a garden at home, and the sisters sat under the flower tree to embroider. At that time, the family invited a master, embroidering is the convex embroidery method in Jinghao's hand, I don't like embroidery, I am lazy every day, and I am lazy when I go to the women's red class. ”

This was the first time he had heard Qingyu mention the past, and Li couldn't help but glance up at her. The cold between her eyebrows and eyes was still cold, but a trace of sorrow condensed, which must have touched the sadness.

There is a garden at home, and the embroidery lady is invited to class, which shows that he was born in a rich and noble family, and how did he fall into the land of fireworks.

The Li family had never been out of Baitu Town in her life, and all she saw were villagers like her, and the most difficult thing she saw was just the suffering of Mrs. Chen, so she couldn't figure out how the rich and noble people had fallen here.

Xue Jiao's eyes flashed, Li Shi couldn't figure out the trick here, but she knew. Zuo is just a family crime, just like Lijia Mansion, thousands of buildings fell in an instant, thousands of prosperity are fleeting, there are no eggs under the nest, and the people in the house are dead and sold.

Qingyu didn't care, and didn't shy away from a few children, and wrote lightly: "My father was an official at the time, because he wrote an anti-poem, he committed a crime, his family was copied, all men were exiled and executed, and all women were sold into slavery, I was not originally called Qingyu, but I changed my name when I got to that dirty place, Qingbi was not called Qingbi originally, she was the girl next to me." It's already in trouble, and I don't want to mention my previous name again."

Li is the most innocent person, listening to the suffering of others, as if empathizing, at this moment, I can't help but cry.

Xue Jiao sighed in her heart, the phoenix in distress is not as good as a chicken. I'm afraid that Qingyu married Wang Baozhu, also in order to get rid of the sea of past suffering, for a free body, where to care about anyone, just marry first.

In the evening, Li Shi thought about it, called Qi An to his side, and taught him that Zuo was just to pay attention to not being caught by others in writing and literacy in the future.

As soon as Qi An was trained, Zheng Huozi came to the house by moonlight, with Chen Xiucai's letter in his hand. (To be continued)
