Chapter 35: Embroidered Cats
“…… Second sister, second sister? ”
Han Xiao hurriedly came back to his senses and looked at Han Zhen who was pouting: "What?" ”
"I mean, how did you come out of the palace, the third sister didn't get it? The second sister has it? ”
Han Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then understood what she meant, and couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart. The relationship between himself and Han Xiao has become deeper and deeper, but if because of this incident, there is any gap between the two of them, how can it be good?
Han Xiaori is already worried about being a princess at this time, if there is such a ......
"This matter ......" Han Xiao hesitated in his heart, as if no matter what he did, something was inappropriate. And this little thing was given to him by Bai Anheng, and he didn't use it to sell favors, and he was reluctant to do so. The second brother said in public that this thing was made by Bai Anheng from the palace, and the people were afraid that it had already spread, and it was only a matter of time before Han Xiao knew that it was a matter of time......
"I know the way, I know the way, we don't say it!" Han Zheng's eyes lit up, he raised his little hands and feet, and Han Zheng also raised his head: "Don't say, don't say!" ”
The kitten slept soundly, and when he heard someone around him arguing, he didn't open his eyes, sniffed his little nose, smacked his mouth, shook his little ears, tilted his head to the other side, and continued to sleep.
Touching the heads of his younger brother and sister, Han Yu smiled bitterly, this is not a matter of not saying it, they don't say it, and there are others who say it, it's just ......
And he bore this heart until the next day. Because he has to learn the rules, Han Xiao's meals are used in his room these days, and I heard that there was fish the night before, and Han Xiao is afraid that it will be hard again.
Until the next morning, when it was almost time for him to go over to talk to Han Xiao, he suddenly heard the maids outside come to deliver a message: "I heard that the fifth prince is here!" ”
Han Xiao blinked, and there was a little strangeness and vague expectation in his heart. Since the fifth prince came, Han Xiao didn't go to Han Xiao immediately, and he didn't hear about it until he was about to have lunch - the fifth prince not only came by himself, but also brought a white little milk cat over, and the cat was the same as the one sent by the Bai family in the first day, both with one blue and one green, but the color of the two eyes was adjusted, which was very rare!
Looking at the little guy who was holding a small hydrangea on the kang and didn't let go of his claws, Han Xiao laughed out loud. What kind of heart did she have before? The closest relationship between the Bai family and the palace is probably the five princes, where did the cat get it from the five princes? Even if it wasn't from the Five Princes, even the Bai family could get something, where would the Five Princes not get it?
Zhilu said that Bai Anheng wanted to send the cat to the Han family, how could the five princes make such a mistake? This marriage, even if it is only the Holy Finger, even if it is not in line with his mind, for the sake of face, he will definitely do it to a good time.
When I got to Han Xiao, I saw a white kitten that looked very similar to Han Xiao on the bed, trying to jump up to the small table.
"Sister is here?" Han Xiaori, who was teasing the cat on the kang, turned around when he heard the sound, and pointed at the little guy with a smile, "I just came up with a few new looks, and I have to bother my sister to go back and embroider them." ”
"Do you want to embroider a cat?" Han Yu's eyes lit up, she also thought about it, but she was very ordinary in painting, and it was easy to say that she was depicting it, but it would be difficult for her to think of a new look.
"Yes...... By the way, I heard that my sister has one too? Was it sent by the Bai family yesterday? ”
Listening to Han Xiao, Han Xiao only knew that he co-authored, this time someone from outside the territory offered a pair of Persian cats, and the mother's one was pregnant, gave birth to a litter, and got a total of five. Therefore, it happened that Lord Bai was introduced, and the emperor deliberately left one for the Bai family, and the rest, the eldest princess's mansion got one, the imperial concubine got one, and the five princes also asked for one back, wanting to give it to Han Xiao, and the rest was left in the queen mother's place, and the queen mother was in charge, and he left the big pair and the small one to the three princesses who had been kept by his side.
A litter of cats scattered like this, and Han Xiaori whispered to Han Xiao: "The Queen Mother left the two big ones, I'm afraid I want to wait for the kittens to be reborn and then give them away, right?" ”
How good is this deal? Cats are not better than others, at least three times a year, this is a species from abroad, and it is much rarer to take out a favor than other things!
"Are you just male or female? If it's a couple, why don't you wait for them to grow up, make a come, and give them away?! ”
Han Xiao pointed his finger at her, only laughing so much that he couldn't speak. It can be seen that she has been holding back for a long time, and she even dares to say this!
In less than three days, Han Xiao received seventeen or eighteen new patterns sent by Han Xiao Ri. He flipped it in his hand, turned his head to Qiu Gu who sent him over, and said, "These are all drawn by your young lady in the past two days?" ”
Qiu Gu nodded hurriedly: "Isn't it!" As soon as the young lady has gained kung fu, she will take a pen and figure out the appearance, or play with snowballs. "Snowball and Snow Ball were picked by the two sisters for the two kittens on the first day, and they happened to be a pair.
Han Xiao has worked hard these days, so it's better for her to change her mind and think less about what she doesn't have. It can be seen that the cat of the five princes was delivered in a timely manner.
Han Xiao pursed his lips and laughed: "This is a lot, where can I do it for a while?" Go back and tell her to go, let her draw leisurely, my needle and thread are no faster than her pen, not as fast as her hands. ”
Qiu Gu nodded again and again: "What the second miss said is that we will persuade her when we go back, even if we play with Xueqiu for a while?" ”
——————
Seeing that it is approaching the end of the year, each family has to prepare for the New Year's festival in addition to preparing for the New Year. Because he couldn't move the needle and thread when he entered the New Year, Han Xiao was really busy for a while.
Bai Anheng was stunned with the handkerchief in his hand, the handkerchief was cyan and inconspicuous, but it was embroidered with a little white cat outlined with only silver and white silk threads.
The kitten was lying upside down, holding a large hydrangea in her arms, apparently playing happily. But he seemed to feel that people were looking at it from afar, so he half-propped up his little head, and his two eyes were blue and gold, and he looked at the person outside the handkerchief in a daze.
Since the marriage, Bai Anheng has received not a small number of embroideries sent by Han Fu and embroidered by Han Xiao himself, at least one and a half pieces per month. There has never been a piece that is finely embroidered.
The white hair, staring at the two round eyes, and the fleshy little paws, looked at this square veil as if the kitten in the painting was about to jump out.
Lived!
Blink again, see if the handkerchief is still a handkerchief, the kitten is still looking at himself in a daze, the corners of his mouth can't help but raise again, and his heart suddenly becomes softer and softer, and he looks forward to it more and more - how much effort does it take to get this handkerchief?
But an inch is a big place, so that she can embroider like this.
Thinking of her sitting by the window, hooking silver threads with stitches and threads, her heart beat a little eagerly. It was also good to get the things she made by herself before, but it was obvious that she was not more interested in this one. I'm afraid that she is becoming more and more interested in herself, right?
The things sent were pleasing to the people, Bai Anheng carefully put away the square handkerchief, and even the steps when walking were a little brisker. Seeing the pen, a few little guys secretly changed their eyes one after another - stupid, stupid! Childe is getting more and more stupid!
Seeing that the New Year is coming up in a few days, the proceeds from Zhuangzi have already been sent to the house for settlement, but the New Year's gift from Fen'an's hometown has just been delivered.
There were also several subordinates from his hometown, Han Pu looked at one of them and said suspiciously: "Why did you come with you this year?" ”
Liu San nodded and bowed to Han Pu, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen the second master for many years, and the little one thought about it very much, so he asked the old man and the old lady for this errand." ”
Liu Sannai is a big housekeeper, and he doesn't care about going out in the past. Han Pu helped him up with a smile, and his heart turned around a few times, and he couldn't guess what was the cause for a while.
After seeing his second son, Han Zhen, and Han Chi, Han Pu realized what he came here for - the eldest son and eldest grandson are here, plus the old lady's heart and liver are all in the capital, how can you rest assured if you don't send someone heavier over?
The first one came to the big housekeeper, and the Jiang family also received the housekeeper's lady, who was in his fifties, and he still had to follow the boys and daughters-in-law to the north, it was really ...... Let the husband and wife not know what to say.
The old housekeepers in the family, Han Pu and his wife naturally want to be very face-saving, and they don't dare to let them do it all, and they also pull a few sons and daughters out, and then stand to listen to the words of the old lady in their hometown......
"How much do you say?!" Jiang Shi looked at Han Pu with wide eyes, not believing his ears for a while.
"Three thousand taels of silver." Han Pu's face turned a little dark, he threw his coat on the chair casually, and sat on the kang with his ass, the hot kang only roasted him even more angry, "He was only eighteen years old after the New Year, and the old lady gave him three thousand taels as soon as he made a move!" Aren't you afraid that his little child's family will take the silver and then go out to the scourge?! ”
"This ...... This is also too ...... "My second son only has five or two months of money a month!" How much money does the imperial court official have in a year?! These three thousand taels are enough for their own family to live a prosperous life for two years! "Is it only Brother Ji'er, or is it the same as Brother Chi?"
If it is true that both the uncle and nephew have so much silver, how dare their husband and wife let the two of them live in the house again? What the hell does the old lady of the old house mean?!
Speaking of Brother Chi, Han Pu's face looked a little better: "Liu San said to the two of them in person, and only afterwards did he secretly look for Brother Ji'er, and he secretly gave him the silver ticket." It was the little guy who overheard it when he was helping him pack his things, and that's why he came to me. ”
I have long heard that the old lady in the family prefers this grandson, and I used to think that it was just a general doting and loose hand, but I didn't expect it...... This is really afraid that he will be wronged!
"I don't know what to do about this, just do you, anyway, before the Spring Siege, I didn't allow him to go out again, or no matter how much silver he had, he wouldn't be able to cause trouble if he had nowhere to spend it!"
Asking the child to go to Beijing is to prepare for the exam, and he is taken care of by his uncle, where can he be wronged? The old lady is afraid that her husband and wife will abuse him? And Liu Sanxian was sent by the old lady, and he ignored the eldest son and eldest grandson, but was so partial to a grandson who was born out of the house, what is this? Fortunately, in the end, it is the matter of the big house, and it has nothing to do with my side.
