After Yang Lan left, Yang Xu asked, "What is she going to do?" Sneaky, think I didn't see it? He glared at his son angrily.

Yang Pei smiled, "Lan'er said let me write a letter to the eldest brother and ask the eldest brother to buy some gifts for my sister-in-law to come back, the hairy foot son-in-law always has to come to the door, the Cui family is a famous family, and the foundation is not shallow, but the imperial capital has a little less connections, Shandong is very famous, and if the relationship is good, our family will also benefit in the future." ”

Yang Xu snorted, but didn't say anything more, his face was slightly gloomy, but his eyes were doting and gentle.

Yang Pei knew at a glance that his father had agreed, as long as his sister was out of the horse, there was nothing to do.

"By the way, you put the osmanthus wine on a jar, and change it to the palace to give the emperor and the queen a jar, the queen is about to celebrate her birthday, and our family has to prepare some gifts, you ask the emperor by the way, what does it mean?" Yang Xu told his son to do some small things.

There are some things he doesn't want to ask, but the children are young, and they can do it at a young age, even if they are wrong, it's okay, he can make up for it later, and the adults do it badly, and there are too few opportunities to make up for it.

"Cheng, it's simple, I'll ask." Yang Pei agreed without saying a word.

"But Dad, my sister's wine is really good, you see if our family should also make a ......." Yang Pei remembered that the wine was very good, and the gift was not enough, so he could only buy some glass bottles and come back, and put the osmanthus wine in it, and the amber liquid was reflected through the bottle, which was elegant and rare, but it was too little.

Yang Xu said with a smile: "This kid is quite capable of tossing, and I don't know where to get the ancient recipe, I have already ordered it to go down." Let's get more on Zhuangzi this year. Not much, not much. Her method is too troublesome, just drink it rarely, it's worthless if you have more, did you send it to your aunt and grandmother? ”

Yang Pei nodded, "I have already sent it over, two bottles of all kinds, Aunt Ping'an is very happy, that is, it is too little." Hahaha! ”

Yang Xu smiled and didn't speak, this thing is rare and expensive, and if it is more, it is worthless, and it is just a rarity to drink, and then he talked to his son about the previous dynasty.

Yang Lan didn't expect that she inadvertently made a recipe from the book, and it turned out to be quite good, the most outstanding of which was osmanthus wine, which was mellow and strong, with a long aftertaste. But she likes plum wine and chrysanthemum wine the most, plum wine and so on. It's light and elegant, but my father and brother don't like it very much, and I think the taste is a little thinner.

In the past few days, my father and brother have been busy preparing for the queen's birthday gift, and my mother said that she should also prepare one, just get it according to her own ideas, no need to be particularly valuable, the girl's family pays attention to a mind, and there is no need to learn from adults, which is too deliberate and not sincere enough.

Yang Lan thought about it for a few days and decided to give it to her treasure, and she didn't dare to get a bargain to give to the queen, that was the mother of the country, how could she give gifts indiscriminately.

Yang Lan slowly unfolded the picture scroll, this is one of the several pictures embroidered in the previous two years, one of which is the picture of "Yao Shan Yi Huan", which is based on the drawing made by the master when he went to Liangxi in his early years, the boat passes through Liangxi, the sunlight shines obliquely on the slope of the mountain, the mist between the mountains flows brilliantly, the new green trees on the top of the mountain, the blue waves in the stream are sparkling, the scenery is beautiful and quiet, and people can not forget it for a long time.

Yang Lan used pink silk thread with ivory embroidered landscape maps, which well expressed the brilliance of the flow of mist in the mountains.

The master praised her for the best picture, which is more vivid than painting, and it is one of her better works in recent years.

Yang Lan was holding the silk cloth, a little reluctant, she originally wanted to give it to her parents and relatives as a gift, but now the time is too rushed, so she can only give it to the queen first, and she still feels a pity in her heart.

Biyun lifted the curtain and came in and replied, "Miss, the princess is looking for it, ask how your gift is ready, and show her how it is." ”

"How about you take a look at this picture?" Yang Lan beckoned to Biyun and asked.

Biyun walked over to take a look and exclaimed, "What a vivid and beautiful painting, is this embroidered?" ”

Since the frame has not yet been framed, the corners of the satin fabric can be easily seen.

Yang Lan nodded, "Well, I've been embroidering for almost a year." ”

"I think it's very good, it will definitely be liked by the queen's mother, how can I not be satisfied with such a good painting."

Yang Lan rolled up the painting, "Go and show your mother, what kind of frame should I get?" ”

When I came to my mother's yard and entered the outer room, it happened that my father and second brother were also discussing the gift, and when I saw Yang Lan holding something in her hand, Yang Pei asked her with a smile, "What good things did you get again?" ”

Yang Pei stretched out his hand to grab it, but Yang Lan dodged him, "No, your dirty hands have damaged my painting, I don't have a place to make up for it, I'll open it for you to see." ”

Yang Pei stretched her neck curiously to look, and after hearing this, Mama Zhang quickly found a basin of water and wiped the inside and outside of the table, and Yang Lan slowly unfolded the scroll, "Look, can this be used as a gift?" ”

He Hui stood up and walked to him, looked down carefully, saw that his son was about to touch it, and knocked his hand off, "Don't touch it, the embroidery can't tolerate a little dirt, if it's dirty, it will be completely ruined, and if it gets dirty, you can't compensate your sister for her hard work." ”

"It's so beautiful, Dad, I think this painting is absolutely suitable for the queen, what kind of wood frame do you say?" Do you want to make a table screen? Yang Pei was pleasantly surprised when he saw it, and he had already begun to think about what kind of wood to use.

Yang Xu also felt that this gift was very good, "Let's put on another jade carving, this painting can give our parents a lot of face, and it will not be resented, enough, Pei'er, you go and get a picture frame, it looks good, how about red sandalwood?" He turned his face to ask his wife and Hui.

"Rosewood is extravagant, just use rosewood, simply carve it into a narrow-edged moire, make it too complicated and lose its taste." and Hui Siliang slapped the board for a long time.

"Cheng, I'll get this thing done, and I promise to make it look beautiful for you." Yang Pei patted his chest and promised.

Seeing that they had no opinions, Yang Lan could only pout and mutter, "I originally planned to give my mother a birthday gift, but the remaining two are not as good as this one." ”

Probably seeing that Yang Lan was a little reluctant, He Hui smiled and touched her daughter's face, "Good girl, if you have this heart, your mother will be happy, you just give a branch to your mother, and your mother is happy." ”

Yang Lan was embarrassed to be said, and turned her face away, "Let my mother tell me how ignorant I am, I really look down on people, and when you celebrate your birthday, I will give you this beautiful one to play with." ”

He Hui smiled comfortably, "Don't toss, this thing costs eyes, you still have to embroider a dowry, my mother is not short of this thing, the four screens you embroidered that year are very good, many women praise it, and my mother likes it tightly." ”

Yang Lan smiled proudly, "It's okay, I took the time to embroider and play, I also plan to embroider a twelve-hairpin beauty, Meilan Zhuju Four Gentlemen, I also want to embroider the statue of Guanyin, I want to embroider more things, but unfortunately only one hand." She had a regretful look on her face.

Yang Pei touched his head, "Then you have to embroider for a lifetime, and you will be blind without waiting for your old eyes." He scared his sister seriously.

Yang Lan's eyes widened, "You curse me, I originally planned to make you a fan bag, but now ...... Nope. After saying that, he turned his head away and puffed out his cheeks.

He Hui was amused and patted his son, "Quickly make amends to your sister, otherwise you won't be able to get your sister's things in the future." ”

Yang Pei scratched her ears and cheeks anxiously, and gave Yang Lan a hard look, and it took a long time before she was willing to show a smile, and took out a beautiful and exquisite double-sided fan bag from her sleeve, which was embroidered with landscape paintings, and the scenery was the scenery of Huangshan, which was beautiful and elegant.

Yang Pei took it in surprise, looked at it for a long time, and was very happy, and immediately put the fan he brought with him, happily like a child who had got a new toy, and still walked around the house with square steps behind his back and pretended to be literati A few times, Yang Xu and his wife couldn't stop laughing, and said that he was Dong Shi Xiaofeng, and he didn't look like a Sven person after learning.

Yang Pei scratched his head and looked silly, looking very cute.

"Ming'er showed it to Rong Yi and him off, hahaha! I don't have him, sister, you can't embroider it for him, okay, brother will buy you something delicious, Jufulou's sauce duck, brother Ming'er will buy it for you early in the morning, to ensure that it is fresh and hot. Yang Pei was happy, I thought that Ming'er must go to tease Rong Yi, and I was happy when I looked at his greedy look.

Yang Lan squinted and giggled, leaning on her mother's arms and seeing her brother's stupid appearance, she couldn't help but want to be happy, how big is it worth grabbing, like a child.

The gifts were set, the family had lunch together, Yang Lan had a few days at home, most of them ate with their parents, or they went to accompany the old lady and amused her, the sisters talked and laughed, there was not much time to be together, she cherished it and tried to leave a good impression on everyone.

The queen's birthday is getting closer and closer day by day, and Princess Hui received two guests on this day, who are the widowed mother of the Qi family and her son, this is the descendant that the father values, originally to say to Cousin Li, but unfortunately after the banquet that day, Cousin Li was taken back to the Li family, and I heard that the aunt of the Li family entrusted the patriarch of the Li family to find her a family.

This is completely unwilling to care about her, the Li family came to inquire about the selection of relatives, and the father refused, saying that the Li family has full authority to decide, only for the sake of the deceased sister and brother-in-law, pick a good family with a simple population, marry farther away, his mother's dowry is all left to her, and the Hou Mansion will personally make up another dowry when she gets married, not less than 5,000 taels.

Cousin Li made his father too disappointed, completely dead, the Li family also understood what his father meant, but the relatives of the Li family were walking back and forth as friends, and his father said that he was very optimistic about the Li family's brother, and if he was willing to go out after high school, he could help find a place where it was easy to get results, the water in the capital was too deep, and it was not easy to fall into it, and there were too many old foxes in the capital that were not places for young people to play, which made the Li family and his wife very grateful, and there was no resentment against the Yang family. The etiquette is thoughtful and proper, and the Li family can still see the Yang family's father and son acting as people, and they are willing to come and go. (To be continued......)
