Chapter 46: Sheet Music (1)

For the next few days, Xu Jinyu was busy embroidering silk handkerchiefs.

Xu Jinyu Danqing has excellent skills, small embroidery never uses fixed patterns, each one is a handwritten draft, and then skillfully made of flying needles. The embroidered patterns are delicate and lifelike.

The embroidered handkerchief this time was given to Princess An Ning, so she naturally had to take out the ability to press the bottom of the box. I drew three copies of the manuscript alone, and after repeated comparisons, I was able to select the best one.

When Xu Jinyu focused on the embroidery, she habitually passed the time by doing embroidery work on the side in early summer.

When Xu Jinyu was a popular girl, she also listened to it in early summer, and for a few years, as long as she didn't compare with Xu Jinyu. The female red in early summer is also very good.

The master and servant sat together, each busy. When I feel tired, I put down my embroidery work, eat some snacks, drink some tea, and gossip a few words to relieve my fatigue. The atmosphere is relaxed and congenial.

Not like a master and servant, but like a pair of sisters.

Hancui on the side couldn't help but say: "It's good for Miss to stay in early summer." The tone unconsciously revealed a little envy.

Xiao Zou has a lot of rules and strict methods, and it is common for him to make mistakes if he is not careful, and he is punished by the board. There are even those who have been sold. The slaves and maids of the Hou Mansion who make mistakes and are sold usually have no good place to go. The most feared thing is to be sold to some pickled place

The fate of those who are slaves and maidservants is like duckweed. The deed of sale is in the hands of the master, and he can only be rubbed by the master.

Hancui has long been accustomed to the trembling maid life, these days when she came to Xu Jinyu's side, she saw the casualness and ease when she got along with Xu Jinyu in early summer, and she was both envious and embarrassed in her heart.

Xu Jinyu bent the corners of her lips and said with a non-herently smile: "People's hearts are flesh and blood, and if you are loyal to me in early summer, I will naturally be good to her." ”

Those beautiful and calm eyes looked over.

Hancui didn't see the weakness of her heart at all, and responded with a sincere face: "I have the honor to serve Miss, it is a blessing that the slave maid cultivated in her previous life, and the slave maid will never have two hearts." The slave maid is not as smart and clever as the early summer, and the time to the young lady is short, if there is something wrong, the young lady can only scold, and the slave and the maid will definitely change until the young lady is satisfied. ”

With such a simple and honest face, every sentence seems to come from the bottom of his heart.

If she didn't know Hancui's true face, she would almost think that what Hancui said was the truth.

Xiao Zou is indeed smart, and the maids trained are more clever than the other. The difference is that Hanyu's cleverness is exposed, Hancui looks loyal, and the scheming of the city government is better than Hanyu. No wonder Xiao Zou sent Hancui to her side to do eyeliner.

In her previous life, she was kind and innocent, and was deceived by Hancui's loyal and honest appearance, and soon regarded Hancui as a cronie, and she was even more convinced of Hancui's words. It wasn't until she was calculated to marry Ji Ze and saw Ji Ze's true face that she woke up. It turned out that she had been hiding such a poisonous snake by her side

This painful lesson made her completely understand what it means to be unseemly!

After Hancui expressed her loyalty, she looked at Xu Jinyu expectantly and apprehensively.

Xu Jinyu hummed painlessly, lowered her head again and started embroidering.

Hancui was secretly disappointed in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. It's been almost half a month since she arrived at Yinyan Pavilion, she is calm and careful, and Zou often praises her by Xiao Zou's side.

The Zou family is easy to deal with, but Xu Jinyu is much more difficult to get close to than the Zou family. No matter how good she looks, no matter how hard she tries to please her, Xu Jinyu is still lukewarm, but fortunately, there is more time, and she is not in a hurry.

Hancui secretly thought about it in her heart, and came to Chu Xia's side again, and whispered to ask the female red.

In early summer, he was simple, lively and hearty, and he was not wary of Hancui, and enthusiastically pointed out Hancui.

At this moment, Zou came over

Xu Jinyu was about to put down the embroidery and get up to greet him, when he heard Zou say with a smile: "My mother and daughter, and they are not outsiders, what do you do with those false courtesies." I'm just coming over and seeing, you're busy with you, don't worry about me. ”

As he spoke, he walked to Xu Jinyu's side and took a few closer looks.

The silk handkerchief is almost ready.

One side is embroidered with a cluster of lush green bamboos, sparse and elegant, tall and elegant. On the other side, there are bamboo leaves falling in the wind. At first glance, it looks a little messy and unremarkable.

Zou subconsciously frowned: "Jin Niang, Princess An Ning likes bamboo, you can embroider a few bamboos on this side." Embroidered bamboo leaves inevitably seem simple and perfunctory. ”

The person who opened her mouth to ask for a handkerchief was Princess Anning! Xu Jinyu should always show the ability to press the bottom of the box. Why is it so perfunctory?

Xu Jinyu didn't argue, but smiled faintly: "Mother, don't worry, take a closer look at these bamboo leaves." ”

Is there any other mystery?

Zou glanced at it uncertainly, and then looked at it again. At this glance, I really saw that some doorways were coming. The distribution of these seemingly messy bamboo leaves is clear and regular

Zou asked curiously: "What pattern are you embroidering?" ”

"It's not completely embroidered yet, but you'll know when it's done." Xu Jinyu winked playfully and sold Guanzi. Looking at Hui Huang and cute.

Zou smiled: "Okay, okay, I won't ask!" When the handkerchief is embroidered, I won't be too late to look at it. After a pause, he said with hope: "When the veil is embroidered, maybe Princess An Ning will order someone to take you into the palace."

"How is this possible!" Xu Jinyu quickly interrupted Zou's wonderful fantasy: "The palace is not just waiting for idlers to enter if they want to, you have to have a waist card to enter the palace." Do you think Princess An Ning would put so much effort into a handkerchief? Perhaps, Princess An Ning just said it casually that day, and she had already forgotten about it. ”

That's just as well.

A dignified princess, I haven't seen anything rare. No matter how precious the double-sided embroidery is, it is not uncommon in the palace. Perhaps, Princess An Ning is just on a whim, and I don't know if she will send someone to get the veil!

Thinking about it like this, Zou began to feel sorry for Xu Jinyu again: "If Princess An Ning forgot about this, wouldn't you have been busy for so many days in vain?" ”

Embroidery is time-consuming and painstaking, and double-sided embroidery is more labor-intensive than ordinary embroidery. In order to embroider this square veil, Xu Jinyu has hardly been out of the Yin Yan Pavilion these days.

Xu Jinyu didn't mind at all, and smiled casually: "Being idle is also idle, just to pass the time." ”

She wished that Princess An Ning had forgotten about it!

I chatted so much that I couldn't concentrate on the embroidery work. Xu Jinyu simply put down the embroidery work in her hand and gossiped with the Zou family: "Mother, the eldest brother went to Cao's house, hasn't he come back yet?" ”

Lord Cao was once the prince and the prince, he was very knowledgeable, and he was deeply respected by the emperor, and now he is the prince of the country. It is rumored that Lord Cao is very likely to serve as the chief examiner of this year's autumn school. If it weren't for Ji Ze personally introducing Xu Zheng, Xu Zheng wouldn't even have the qualifications to visit him.

This is also the biggest benefit of staying in Weininghou Mansion.

For the sake of her brother, Xu Jinyu willingly endured for a year.

When it came to Xu Zheng's studies, Zou's mood was always much better than usual, and he said with a smile: "Zheng'er went to the Cao family with Ji Ergongzi today. I heard that there are many students who come to Cao's house every day to pay their respects, and they may not be able to see Master Cao in time when they go. Gotta wait at the concierge. ”

is qualified to wait in the concierge of the Cao family, and it is also the envy of the students to pass it out.

The mother and daughter were chatting casually, and they heard the maid come to report, and the maid Shuqin next to Ji Yu came.

"The slave maid greets Mrs. Xu, and the lady asks for peace." Shuqin saluted neatly.

Xu Jinyu has a close relationship with Ji Yu, and she is also very familiar with Shuqin, and joked with a smile: "Why did you come empty-handed today?" "Shuqin is ingenious and good at making pastries, especially plum blossom cakes. Ji Yu often sent her to send one to Yinyan Pavilion.

Shuqin replied with a smile: "The plum blossoms have already been thanked, and if you want to eat plum blossom cakes, you can only wait for another year." ”

Xu Jinyu smiled: "Cousin Yu sent you over, what's the matter?" ”

Shuqin replied: "Miss has a new sheet music, and I want to invite Miss Biao to the Agarwood Pavilion to enjoy it together." ”

can get into Ji Yu's eyes, and it will never be an idle piano score. Maybe it's a lost guqin score. Xu Jinyu was interested, smiled and hummed, and looked at Zou again: "Mother, I'll go to Agarwood Pavilion and come back soon." ”

Zou said Xu Jinyu a few times in private, asking her not to get too close to Ji Yu, so as not to make Xiao Zou unhappy. Xu Jinyu promised to be good, but when she turned her head, she was still the same.

In front of Shuqin, Zou didn't say anything, and nodded with a smile

Entering the Agarwood Pavilion, an unexpected handsome face came into view.

Xu Jinyu was stunned.

How did he end up here?

"Cousin Jin," Chen Yuanqing immediately got up to greet Xu Jinyu the moment he saw him, and his eyes flashed with eager joy.

The young man's admiration for his sweetheart is almost clearly written in his eyes.

Ji Yu was almost blinded, and couldn't help coughing, suggesting that Chen Yuanqing was more restrained. Then he smiled calmly: "Cousin Yuanqing got a piano score, and he knew that I liked to play the piano, so he specially sent it to me." Your piano skills are also excellent, so I specially sent Shuqin to ask you to come to the Agarwood Pavilion to enjoy the piano score together. ”

Xu Jinyu quickly came back to her senses and responded with a smile: "Cousin Yu thinks about me all the time, it's really touching. Then, with a smile, he called out to Cousin Yuanqing.

Don't think about it, it's obvious. Chen Yuanqing came to the Hou Mansion under the banner of sending piano scores, and then cheekily begged Ji Yu to invite her to the Agarwood Pavilion, and then it was a natural "coincidence"

Sure enough, it's still the same as in the previous life! Enthusiastic and impulsive, he never hides his heart.

Xu Jinyu was a little helpless and funny, but couldn't help but sigh secretly.

With such a sincere and precious heart, how could she not be moved? But in the previous life, the huge shadow of the Chen family being beheaded was shrouded in my heart, which was prohibitive.

Until this moment, she still didn't think of any way to save Chen Yuanqing. How can you respond to his true feelings? R1152
