Chapter 387: Hallowe
Although the previous sachet was done, there were always some flaws, Xu Zhilan was a little dissatisfied, anyway, he learned it, so it was better to make another one.
In order to take precaution, she brought back the remaining bean-green leftovers from Nanke, so she took advantage of the afternoon sunshine to move a small bamboo stool, sat on it and sewed it.
Xiaomei's body is much cooler, and there is no problem with moving on the ground.
Xu Zhilan is still not at ease, the medicine taken externally and internally can be stopped, and the tonic medicine needs to be drunk for a period of time.
Xiaomei has been idle at all since she was able to get out of bed, saying that she was lying in bed all the time a few days ago, and her bones fell apart, and she had to do work anyway.
Xu Zhilan couldn't stop her, so he let her go.
When Xiaomei was cleaning the yard, she saw that her young lady was actually embroidering the sachet, and the sachet looked a little bit, but what was embroidered on the sachet was really not flattering.
She didn't hold back, and then laughed.
Xiaomei felt that the young lady, who had always been active, was quietly doing female needlework at this time, which was incredible, and she didn't see what she was embroidering after staring for a long time, so she couldn't help asking, "Miss, what are you embroidering?" ”
Without waiting for Xu Zhilan to answer, the little girl's eyes flickered, as if she knew the answer.
Looking at the young lady's appearance, could it be that she is pregnant with spring? Deliberately made a love token to the second prince?
She laughed again and teased, "If you give this thing away, I'm afraid that the Second Highness will be scared away." ”
Xu Zhilan looked embarrassed, looked at the things in his hand carefully, and felt that it was not very ugly.
"Don't talk nonsense, am I not good at embroidery?"
Although the sachet can be made, I always feel that it is too monotonous if I don't embroider anything.
So she pondered by herself, embroidering a pattern of waves, but the embroidery work was much more difficult, as if it was a little different from her imagination.
Xiaomei not only covered her mouth to steal fun, but also invited Xiaohua to watch it together.
Xiaohua saw that there was a piece of blue embroidered on the sachet, but she couldn't tell what it was, and she laughed.
Xu Zhilan heard the laughter of the two, and was a little depressed, thinking that they didn't understand that their ancient people didn't understand, how beautiful their color scheme was, and how meaningful the color matching of the blue sky and green grass was.
That's the way it goes.......
She blinked, the style was not very good-looking, but it couldn't be said to be ugly.
Xu Zhilan saw that Xiaomei was so arrogant, handed her the sachet and said, "You can embroider, I want to see if it is much better than my embroidery!" ”
Xiaomei hurriedly refused, if she was still good at physical work, she had never learned these female celebrities, and what she did was even more ugly.
Xiaohua on the side reached out to take it, tore off the blue silk thread, picked out the ochre-red silk thread from the embroidery basket, and said, "I know a little bit about female red, Miss might as well let me try it?" ”
Xu Zhilan looked at the silk thread she chose, can this red and green color system look good.
But seeing that she is very confident, I think it would be good to look at it.
Xiaohua sat on the small bamboo stool that Xu Zhilan had made before and began to sew.
As the saying goes, red with green bullshit, she wondered in her heart, how could anyone choose such a color, I don't know what it will look like when embroidered.
As a result, under the skillful hands of Xiaohua, red and green have also become a very high-end match.
The bottom of the bean green, embroidered with ochre-red peony, actually has the beauty of green lining safflower, not only not soil, but more extravagant.
Xu Zhilan immediately wanted to worship her as a teacher.
"What a skillful pair of hands! Ask the master to teach me! I also want to sew such a beautiful pattern. ”
The maid was very embarrassed by her praise.
"Miss, you don't have to call it a slave, if you want to learn, I'll teach you."
Xiaohua began to teach her stitch by stitch.
Fortunately, Xu Zhilan learned things quickly, and soon mastered the tricks, and the techniques gradually became proficient.
She looked at the officially completed sachet and was very satisfied, and her excellence was still very effective.
However, along with the sachet, there are many small holes in the fingers that have been pricked by needles.
She felt that it didn't matter, as soon as this addiction came up, she couldn't help but want to make another one.
Somehow, when she thought of making another one for someone, the first thing she thought of was Yu Huiyi.
Xu Zhilan attributed this to Xiaomei's joke, but it stands to reason that the idea of the sachet was his idea to help, and he saved his life in a moment of crisis, and it was also good to take something he embroidered with his own hands as a thank you gift.
In the next few days, she went out to buy medicinal materials from time to time, on the one hand, to prepare for the newly made sachets, and on the other hand, Xiaomei's tonic was constantly adjusted according to her situation.
The rest of the time, I went to "Jian Xin" to see Qin Lao and the children, and from time to time I stayed at home to embroider sachets and decoction medicines, and my life was fulfilling.
The girl sent out by Xu Ting follows Xu Zhilan every day, but she never finds out why.
Xu Ting, who only got this result, was so angry that she scolded.
"The little slut is hiding so deeply, maybe he's making trouble behind his back!"
Nangong Qin comforted her, and the top priority was to prepare the gifts for the Queen Mother's birthday as soon as possible.
When Xu Ting heard this, she smiled confidently, she knew that the Queen Mother believed in Buddhism, and she had already prepared the Buddhist scriptures she had collected.
"Mother, don't worry, I'm ready, I guarantee that the Queen Mother will like it."
......
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is the birthday of the Queen Mother, and the birthday of the Queen Mother is called the Longevity Festival, taking the meaning of longevity without borders.
"The whole world celebrates, and the world is amnesty."
The day of Halloween is mainly organized according to the principle of these eight words.
The Ministry of Rites is responsible for all parts of the capital, and the main streets are packed with colorful paintings and cloths, and singing and dancing everywhere are leveled.
During the Wanshou Festival, slaughter is prohibited, the official ban is on the killing of criminal offenders, and the wearing of plain clothing is uniformly forbidden, and all must be bright clothing.
From the imperial court to the local governments, they ignored the government affairs related to criminal cases for several days, and the princes and officials had to wear official uniforms according to the system.
Officials from all over the country sealed the territory of the country, and the Chinese military officials of the DPRK all set up incense cases and gave a big salute in the direction of the capital to congratulate the Empress Dowager on her long life.
On the day of the Wanshou Festival, a luncheon was held, and the emperor accompanied the queen mother in the palace to receive congratulations and gifts from the princes and officials. The ministers were invited to the luncheon, and the ministers attended the emperor's birthday banquet on behalf of the people and sent congratulatory gifts.
Dinner is a family banquet, the emperor and the queen, and the concubines of the three palaces and six courts, the prince, and people close to the royal family attended and sent congratulatory gifts.
Because of this, Xu Zhihuan took the first step and went to the palace to attend a luncheon.
Xu Zhilan and the second prince's marriage contract has been decided, and he will also attend the family banquet in the evening.
After the Shen time, the female relatives of the Xu Mansion dressed up and prepared to travel.
