Will be counted
"Mother!"
As soon as Xiaomi entered the door, she saw Aunt Liu stretching out her hand to strangle Murong to death, and hurriedly stopped her.
Aunt Liu's hands flashed back like an electric shock, her expression was panicked, and her whole person was dumbfounded.
Xiaomi walked up to Aunt Liu with her little feet and grabbed her hand: "Mother, let's come out first."
The two of them glanced at Murong who was still asleep, and then went to the courtyard with confidence.
Aunt Liu's hands are still trembling, if it weren't for the timely arrival of Xiaomi, I'm afraid Aunt Liu would have made a big mistake!
"Mother, what were you just going to do?"
Xiaomi grabbed Aunt Liu's hand, her eyes were full of worry, for fear that Aunt Liu would not want to put herself in.
"Xiaomi, I ...... I see that she can still sleep so soundly, I ...... I don't have a taste in my heart......"
"Mother, there are many people, let's go to the yard of the young lady."
Xiaomi's eyes looked around and saw a few people looking towards them, cautiously let go of Aunt Liu's hand, and walked out first.
Aunt Liu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, the calluses on her hands made her face hurt, she took a deep breath, and squeezed out a little smile on her face.
"Xia Mei, take care of the second miss."
Xia Mei, who was covered with a veil on the side, was counting the dowry with other subordinates, when she heard Aunt Liu's voice and turned her head to respond.
"Yes."
Aunt Liu patted the non-existent dust on her body and raised her feet to the courtyard on the other side. Millet was pacing around the yard, no wonder she said how her right eyelid was jumping today.
"Millet."
"Mother, Miss let us go out and buy things for embroidery."
"How would Miss know?"
"I did something under Xi Niang, how could I not know this, I said with Miss."
Aunt Liu nodded: "I just told my wife to let Miss replace Murong embroidery, but these things can't be bought by us."
"So who's going to buy the best?"
Aunt Liu's eyes moved, as if she was alive again now, and there was a hint of calculation in her eyes: "Of course, it is best to let the people around Murong do this thing."
"Xia Mei?"
"Yes, she herself is stupid, even if something happens, she will be more or less implicated with Murong."
Xiaomi asked, "So what do we need to do?"
"You don't have to do anything, wait for the Ye family and Murong to come to the door."
Aunt Liu stroked her slightly trembling wrist, her old face was full of shrewdness and calculation at the moment, and her wrinkled eyes were bloodshot.
"Mother, then I'll go back to Miss first."
"Well, go ahead."
Xiaomi looked at Aunt Liu and said, "Mother, don't be impulsive again."
After saying that, he stopped lingering, and walked back quickly, as if some flood beast was chasing.
"Miss," Mi pushed the door in, closed the door and continued, "I've already told my mother. ”
I picked up the side of the window with my fingertips, and vaguely saw the corner of the clothes flashing behind the rockery opposite.
With a click, I closed the window.
"Okay, let's try not to go out these days, stay in the house and rest for a few days."
"Yes."
In the Ye family's room, Murong coquettishly pulled Ye's arm, and his eyes were full of pride: "Mother, how do you know that Aunt Liu is uneasy and kind?"
Ye raised his eyebrows and looked at Murong: "When Aunt Liu told me that I could let Mu Qian replace you, I doubted her."
"Why?"
"Humph! How long has Aunt Liu been by my side, and I still don't know the little ninety-nine in her heart? ”
Murong lay on Ye's knees: "Today's daughter thought she would really be strangled to death by that Aunt Liu!" Scared the hell out of me! ”
Ye Shi raised his finger and gently poked Murong's head: "This is called reluctant children can't trap wolves!" Otherwise, it will be troublesome when it is calculated by others in the future! ”
"So what are we going to do next?"
"Isn't she waiting for us to come to the door? We prepared our things and gave them them. ”
"Good!"
The mother and daughter both had smug smiles on their faces, and they were waiting for the day to come, so they couldn't wait to see the excitement.
Murong had already sent Xia Mei out to buy things, in order to make a full set of plays, as long as the things came back, Murong would personally "send" them.
Ye Shi looked at the cloth, thread, needle, flower bandage, embroidery frame, scissors, patterns, and charcoal on the table that Xia Mei had returned, and twisted a silk thread with his fingers and looked at it for a while.
"Rong'er, take Xia Mei and send it to your sister."
"Yes, Mother."
Xia Mei followed behind Murong with her things, and her eyes became more and more unable to understand what Madame and Miss were going to do.
Embroidery is inseparable from silkworm raising and silk reeling, so it is called embroidery, also known as silk embroidery. As the use of silk became more and more popular, silk fabrics and embroidery became more and more popular among rich ladies.
Xia Mei bought a good base cloth, so that the embroidery is beautiful and beautiful. Almost every kind of embroidery thread was bought some back.
There are cotton fine embroidery thread, cotton coarse embroidery thread, ply thread, twine thread, silk thread, machine embroidery thread, woolen thread, gold and silver thread, chemical fiber thread, etc.
The embroidery needles selected are also the best taken out by the owner of the shop, the nose of the needle is oval, so the nose does not bite the thread, and the tip of the needle is thin and long.
The flower bandage was bought a wooden round, and the bandage should be tightened and flattened, so that the embroidered flowers can be smooth and not out of shape. For convenience, Ye specially asked Xia Mei to buy two flower sheds and come back.
"Xia Mei, these things are all used by Miss Ben to get married, and nothing can go wrong."
"Yes, Miss, the slaves and maids choose the best."
This is going to ruin your reputation!
"Sister, sister has come to see you."
Murong Jiao's voice came through a door, and Xiaomi, who was guarding the door early in the morning, quickly opened the door for Murong.
"Second Miss, please."
Like a proud peacock, Murong walked in with his arrogant neck up, and Xia Mei followed resignedly.
"How is my sister's body these days?"
The fake greeting made me sick to my stomach, and I lazily leaned back in my chair and closed my eyes, deaf to what Murong said.
Murong's eyes flickered, his face changed a few times, and he waved his hand for Xia Mei to put something beside me.
"Sister, I'm about to get married, I want to ask my sister for a favor, and I want to ask my sister to help me complete the embroidery for the return gift......"
"Not available."
"Sister......
Murong even climbed on my arm and shook it gently, what a harmonious and warm scene it looked to outsiders.
I flattened my tone and tilted my head to the other side: "I said I didn't have time, get out with your dirty stuff."
"Mu Qian, don't toast and don't eat and drink!"
Murong stopped pretending to me, stood up and pointed at my nose and cursed.
I lifted my eyelids slightly and glanced at Murong, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.
"Why, my good sister, is she still as breathless as ever?"
"Mussy! I look up to you for help! Brother Wanyang said, I don't have to do these things myself, just find a subordinate. ”
"Really? Who was asking me for help just now? ”
"You!"
Murong was choked by me and couldn't speak, just stared at me, and didn't take his fingers away from my eyes, I looked at the white and tender fingers, and the boredom in my heart surged again.
"You'd better take your finger off my eyes, or don't blame me for being rude!"
I got up and pulled the things they had brought with me, and I had a vague guess in my mind.
"Xiaomi, send people out."
"Yes."
Millet walked over from the door and stretched out a hand to the door: "Please go out of the second miss, my young lady is going to rest."
Murong's face changed slightly, and as soon as he flicked his sleeves, he was about to reach out and take the things.
"What? Is there a reason to take back the things that were sent? I reached out to stop Murong's hand and looked directly at her.
"You ......"
The joy that flashed in her eyes was easily captured in my eyes, and sure enough, she still underestimated Ye's poisonous woman.
"If you don't take it, you won't take it! Be careful with Miss Ben, my good sister. ”
"That's natural, and this is also a great gift from my sister to your marriage."
"Xia Mei, let's go, I'll pick it up myself in three days."
"Xiaomi, send the second lady out."
The footsteps faded from under the window, and the smile on my lips disappeared from my face, returning to my usual expressionless face.
Millet wrung her hands and looked at me, biting her lip and stopping.
"What's wrong? If you have something, say it. ”
"Miss, I always feel that things are going too well."
I picked up the flower shed inside and put it in my hand and looked back and forth: "Oh? So what do you think went smoothly with? ”
"Miss, originally I didn't agree with my mother and Miss cooperating, but my mother insisted on doing so, and we had to listen to my mother, but ......"
"But what?"
Xiaomi gritted her teeth, and then said: "Today I saw my mother make a move on Murong and was stopped by me, and from then on, I felt that things were a little too smooth."
"Do you know what I asked you to go out and buy these things for?"
"Xiaomi doesn't know."
"Hide people's eyes and ears, so that they all think that I will work on this embroidery."
Millet looked at me confused: "Where is ...... mother?"
I touched the fine cloth and said with a smile, "Your mother is a smart person, but she is too anxious."
"Mother, didn't you tell the young lady in advance?"
"Of course not, you forgot when I met Aunt Liu?"
Millet lowered her head and thought for a while, only the sound of shallow breathing was left in the whole room, and Millet frowned for a while, and then stretched out again, and the confusion on her face gradually disappeared.
"Miss, have you already calculated the matter of embroidery, and you know that your mother will use embroidery to start?"
"I've been inexplicably tired these days, I'm going to sleep for a while, you're here to watch."
Xiaomi smiled without saying a word, nodded and sat on the low stool next to her.
I took off my shoes and went to bed, closed my eyes and said to Xiaomi: "Don't bring your tail back next time you go out."
The room was silent for a long time, Xiaomi let out a soft "um", and after hearing the answer, I fell asleep with my arms crossed, and the tight strings in my brain relaxed a little.
The corner of the clothes that flashed behind the rockery was Murong's pink clothes, and I saw it clearly.
