"Jin Niang, what are you thinking?" Zou's disgusted voice sounded in his ears: "I called you a few times, but you didn't answer." ”

Xu Jinyu came back to her senses and smiled disguisedly: "It's nothing, I'm thinking, I don't know what my aunt specially called us over for." ”

Zou smiled: "Just go and see." She was also full of curiosity!

Xu Jinyu said, "Wait a minute, I'll go back to the house and get some things first." ”

Zou was stunned: "What are you going to get?" ”

"These days, I have embroidered a few handkerchiefs, and I just took advantage of the present to bring them over and give them to Cousin Yu." Xu Jinyu quickly recovered as usual and said with a smile.

The daughter is so sensible, Zou is very pleased.

Xu Jinyu quickly took the veil, and the mother and son went to Tinglan Courtyard together.

After each of them greeted each other, Xiao Zou smiled pleasantly: "Eldest sister, you have come just in time, I have something important to discuss with you." There is still half a month, which is the birthday of Concubine Xian. According to the practice of previous years, we will go to the palace to celebrate the birthday of the mother. It's rare that Zheng'er and Jinniang are also in the house, and I want to take the two of them into the palace together."

What the?

Want to take Xu Zheng Xu Jinyu into the palace together?

Zou was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, and got up with a happy face and thanked him: "This is really grateful." "The opportunity to enter the palace is really rare. Maybe there's a chance to see the sky!

I didn't expect Xiao Zou to be willing to carry his own children like this.

Xiao Zou said with a smile: "The eldest sister said this too much. Zheng'er is my nephew, and Jinniang is my niece. My aunt, how can I not hope that they will be well. ”

Zou was overjoyed, and Xu Zheng couldn't help but feel refreshed when he heard that he had the opportunity to enter the palace.

Xu Jinyu was secretly surprised.

On the birthday of Concubine Xian in the previous century, Xiao Zou did not bring their brothers and sisters into the palace. Why is there a deviation in this life? Seeing the happy appearance of her mother and brother, Xu Jinyu silently swallowed the idea of refusal.

Having the opportunity to enter the palace is a great honor and dignity in the eyes of everyone. Zou and Xu Zheng were both rejoicing over this matter at the moment. Xiao Zou even put on a face of benevolence. If she rashly opened her mouth to refuse, she would definitely arouse everyone's suspicion

Xiao Zou simply did it to the end, and said with a smile: "It's rare to have a chance to enter the palace, so you have to dress carefully." Later, the shopkeeper of the Embroidery Pavilion and the Treasure Zhai will come to the house, just to pick out some good clothes for Zheng'er and Jinniang to make some new clothes. Jin Niang picked out some new jewelry. ”

"Why are you embarrassed to spend so much." Zou was flattered, and hurriedly smiled and excused himself: "It is already a blessing for their brothers and sisters to be able to follow them into the palace, and they don't need new clothes and jewelry." Before coming to Bianliang, I made a lot of new clothes for them, enough to wear until next year. ”

Xiao Zou smiled: "I'll tell you the truth, don't dislike to hear it, eldest sister." The popular styles of clothes and jewelry in the capital are different from those in Lin'an. It doesn't matter what you wear every day, you always have to be cautious when you enter the palace to meet the virtuous concubine. We are the mother's family of the virtuous concubine, and we can't let those snobbish palace maids and eunuchs or other concubines and concubines look down on us. Therefore, this new dress must be made, and the jewelry must also be picked again. ”

Zou Shi could not say half a word, and responded gratefully.

Xu Jinyu watched coldly, feeling more and more wrong.

How could Xiao Zou be so kind! Such diligence must have a plan!

Soon, Ji Yu and Ji Yu came.

When Ji Yu saw Xu Jinyu, the resentment in her heart swelled up, snorted disdainfully, and twisted her head to the side. This time, Xu Jinyu took the initiative to talk: "Cousin Yu." ”

Hum! Now that I know that I came to please and coax me, I didn't bother to take care of you!

Ji Yu thought arrogantly, and didn't even look at Xu Jinyu.

"Have you been angry with me for the past two days, and you always ignore me when you meet. If I do something wrong, just say it, and I'll fix it. Xu Jinyu's slightly aggrieved voice was not too loud, enough for Xiao Zou to listen to it.

Xiao Zou glanced at Ji Yu suspiciously. Ji Yu has never been able to hide her words, if she had a conflict with Xu Jinyu, she should have come to her to complain

Ji Yu was looked at by Xiao Zou's heart. For Chen Yuanqing and Xu Jinyu to quarrel, how could she have the face to complain to Xiao Zou about this kind of thing, and she has been suffocating in her heart. Unexpectedly, Xu Jinyu actually broke through this layer in front of Xiao Zou, and she couldn't ignore Xu Jinyu if she wanted to

This Xu Jinyu is really cunning and hateful!

Ji Yu gritted her teeth hatefully, and forced out a smile: "Cousin Jin misunderstood." Because of my sister-in-law's death, I have been in a bad mood these days, and I am not in the mood to speak. I'm not mad at you. ”

Xu Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It's good if you're not angry." By the way, a few days ago I said that I was going to embroider a veil for you, and it has already been embroidered. ”

As he spoke, he took a silk handkerchief from Hatsu Xia's hand and sent it over.

Ji Yu took the handkerchief and glanced at it very casually. It's just an ordinary handkerchief, well, it's a bit against her will to say that.

A blooming hibiscus flower is embroidered on the corner of the soft white handkerchief, which is lifelike and the embroidery is excellent. Take a closer look, there is also a small embroidered word at the stamen.

It's so pretty!

Ji Yu glanced at it, couldn't help but look at it again, she liked it very much, but she refused to praise half a word in her mouth.

Xu Jinyu asked with a smile: "Cousin Yu, do you like this veil?" ”

Ji Yu put on a reluctant expression: "It's okay." ”

The mouth is not right! If you don't like it, what are you doing so tightly? Xu Jinyu didn't expose her, pursed her lips and smiled: "The special feature of this veil, I'm afraid that Cousin Yu hasn't noticed it yet!" ”

"Isn't it just embroidered with hibiscus flowers, and my maiden name, what else can there be?" Ji Yu muttered, turned the handkerchief over casually, and then exclaimed in disbelief.

On the other side of this veil, it is embroidered with a hibiscus bud, which stands slim against the background of the green lotus leaves.

It turned out to be a rare double-sided embroidery known as the top treasure in embroidery!

Such a beautiful double-sided embroidery, if it is placed on the market, is worth at least 100 taels of silver! As a return gift, it is not only not rude, it is simply a generous gift!

Ji Yu and Xiao Zou were also attracted to it, and they looked at it carefully for a while, and they were amazed. Xiao Zou couldn't help but praise: "I heard that the skill of double-sided embroidery is about to be lost, but I didn't expect Jin Niang to be able to embroider on both sides." ”

Zou was secretly complacent in his heart, and pretended to be indifferent: "Jin Niang has been interested in female celebrities since she was a child, and she worships Li Xiuniang, who is good at Suzhou embroidery, as her teacher. Mrs. Li saw that she was still talented, so she passed on the double-sided embroidery to her. In fact, people like us don't make a living from such skills, but just embroider some objects to pass the time. ”

Listen to this tone, how proud and proud, how can there be a little low-key!

Ji Yu looked at the square handkerchief, and she was also moved.

If there is such a silk handkerchief, it will be extra face-saving in front of the sisters in the boudoir in the future. However, she and Xu Jinyu are not serious in-laws, and with her temperament, she naturally will not open her mouth rashly

"Cousin, I also embroidered a handkerchief for you, I don't know if you like it?" A handkerchief suddenly appeared in front of Ji Yu's eyes. It is also a delicate double-sided embroidery, one side is embroidered with plum blossoms blooming gracefully, and the other side is embroidered with a tree of cold plums swaying in the wind. The composition is exquisite, and the embroidery is excellent.

Ji Yu took the veil with some surprise and raised her eyes to look at Xu Jinyu: "How do you know that I like plum blossoms?" ”

Xu Jinyu smiled slightly: "As long as you have a heart, this little thing is always not difficult to inquire about." ”

Ji Yu knew that Xu Jinyu was intentionally showing goodwill, but she still couldn't refuse this kindness, and thanked her with a smile.

Xu Jinyu took the last handkerchief from Chu Xia's hand and handed it to Xiao Zou. Both sides of this square handkerchief are embroidered with bright and delicate begonias, with different colors and shapes, which makes people have to marvel at Xu Jinyu's ingenuity.

Xiao Zou also liked it when he saw it, and was about to say something, when he heard Xu Jinyu say: "Don't be surprised when you say it, auntie." I embroidered this handkerchief for my cousin-in-law, but now that my cousin-in-law has died of illness, this handkerchief is no longer needed. I thought about giving it to my aunt, and when my aunt saw this veil in the future, she would always think of her cousin. ”

Xiao Zou: ""——

Two more from tomorrow, I hope you will collect and vote in favor of ~O(∩_∩)O~
