A large dowry ......

King Jing's eyebrows jumped a few times.

He said in a deep voice: "You are the child of this king, and what this king wants you to marry is a noble girl, not a mere merchant girl." Ask yourself, apart from money, what else can Nan Baoyi bring you? Officialdom connections? Backstage? None of them! Child, this is a backstage world, if you want to be alone, you can't be naïve! ”

Xiao Yi eats golden silk dates.

The eyelashes cast shadows under the eyelids, like a black folding fan that has been shaken open, and the curvature is extremely cool.

He is not a child of King Jing.

It's just that if that child were still in the world, he would probably be manipulated like this, right?

From birth to marrying a wife and having children, he was manipulated like a puppet for half his life.

A graceful and elegant figure came to mind.

That woman, who threw him to Nanyue not long after he was born, ordered him to find the Tianshu token from the Nan family, and ordered him to control the central power of the Nanyue Kingdom, is it not a kind of manipulation?

He threw away the date pits.

Raising his eyes and glancing at King Jing, his voice was lazy: "The marriage given by the Holy God himself, does King Jing want to resist the decree?" ”

"You-"

King Jing was even more angry.

He shook his head and scolded sharply: "That's it, your wings are hard, this king can't control you!" Don't you want a dowry? This king will arrange a dowry and send it to Nanshilang's Mansion tomorrow to hire Qingyun and them. As for you, don't you want to let King Jing's Mansion pay half a tael of silver for hiring, don't think about it! ”

After yelling, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Xiao Yi casually ate dates and sneered: "The old man is quite stubborn. ”

He was just talking, a dowry or something, he had already prepared.

The row of noodles for Nan Jiaojiao is naturally grand and grand.

And the Jingwang Mansion can't afford it.

After the Shangyuan Festival, the wind blowing through Shengjing City gradually brought warmth.

But overnight, the gardens of Nanfu sprouted, the peach blossom branches were full of thick buds, and the maids laughed and bet in the red lacquer verandah about when the first peach blossom would bloom.

Nan Baoyi and Nan Baozhu knelt side by side under the eaves.

In front of him lay a large table, on which were placed sewing baskets and embroidery bandages, and all kinds of fabrics were beautiful and dragged like clouds to the wooden floor under the porch.

A middle-aged woman with a bun, thin and serious, knelt in front of her.

She is the best embroidery lady in the Nanjia embroidery village.

Because Nan Baoyi wanted to learn embroidery, the old lady specially invited her to the house, taught her embroidery and sewing, and also stuffed Nan Baozhu into it to study, so that she could have the ability to talk about marriage in the future.

Gu Niangzi explained while demonstrating embroidery: "From ancient times to the present, there are many kinds of stitches, such as straight embroidery, carved embroidery, disc needles, flat needles, scattered needles and so on. The two little ladies are learning embroidery in order to get married, so I will teach you long and short needles today. This is one of the main stitches of Suzhou embroidery, suitable for embroidering figures, trees and stones, calligraphy, flowers and birds. ”

Nan Baoyi listened seriously.

She was holding an embroidery bandage and was about to drop the needle, Nan Baozhu suddenly pointed not far away, and said excitedly: "Jiaojiao, look, there is a bird squatting on the treetop that is not afraid of people, with a red belly and feathers like satin!" ”

"Ahem!"

Gu Niangzi coughed majestically.

Nan Baozhu came back to his senses and reluctantly picked up the embroidered bandage.

Gu Niangzi asked, "Miss Nansi, what did I just say?" ”

"What kind of bird ...... you just said" Nan Baozhu's eyes were shining, "Gu Niangzi is hungry and wants to drink pigeon soup?" I asked the kitchenette to stew a pot for you? ”

As he spoke, he dropped the embroidery and wanted to run.

"Stop!" Gu Niangzi reprimanded coldly, "It's just that you don't have to listen to the lecture, and you still think about the pigeon soup." Miss Nansi, if you are thin today, you should eat less! ”

Nan Baozhu tugged at her skirt, turned around aggrievedly, and honestly knelt down again.

Gu Niangzi dropped the first stitch, "Let's start with a simple learning and embroider a stone first." ”

Nan Baoyi blinked, "Gu Niangzi, I want to learn to embroider mandarin ducks, can we not embroider stones?" ”

Gu Niangzi thought for a while and said, "Then practice embroidering a feather first." ”

"I just want to learn to embroider mandarin ducks, I don't want to learn to embroider feathers."

The corners of Gu Niangzi's mouth couldn't help twitching.

These little sisters are too difficult to teach, right?

One doesn't want to learn anything, the other just wants to climb to the sky in one step.

She's so hard......

Gu Niangzi pondered hard, how to tell Nan Baoyi what is fast, Nan Baozhu suddenly held her stomach and rolled on the ground under the corridor.

She shouted: "My stomach hurts, my stomach hurts!" Gu Niangzi, I want to go to the West Room! ”

Gu Niangzi's face became even more ugly.

She said in a deep voice: "Miss Nansi, since I stepped here, you have already made three trips to the west room. As a lady of the family, entering and exiting the West Room so diligently will have a bad impact on the reputation. ”

"Can't everyone be flattering?" Nan Baozhu retorted, "When the emperor still has a headache and brain fever, why can't everyone have diarrhea?!" Do you have to watch me pull on my skirt to save your reputation? ”

Gu Niangzi was speechless.

With a black face, she had to allow Nan Baozhu to go to the west room.

Nan Baozhu ran away from the smoke, hid behind the peach blossom tree, and made a gesture to Nan Baoyi to take care.

Nan Baoyi bit her lip and snickered.

The little cousin was used to being casual, and detaining her here to learn embroidery was about the same as killing her.

"Ahem," Gu Niangzi faced Nan Baoyi, "I'll teach the fifth girl how to embroider feathers—"

"Embroidered mandarin ducks."

Nan Baoyi protested quietly.

Gu Niangzi: "......"

Come on, embroider mandarin ducks and embroider mandarin ducks.

She drew a picture of a mandarin duck on the embroidered cloth, "A great embroidery master must also be a person with excellent painting." When the five girls are fine, they can go to the garden to see the mandarin ducks and observe their demeanor and movements, so that the embroidered mandarin ducks will be more expressive. ”

Nan Baoyi thought about it.

There are no mandarin ducks in her garden, only a flock of fighting cocks.

Her father brought it from Jinguancheng, it is said that because of the water and soil did not adapt to the death of a group, the remaining half of the crazy eggs, now those female fighting cocks often lead a large group of small fighting cubs, walking in the back garden with their heads held high, who is close to pecking whom.

However, cockfighting and mandarin ducks are both birds, and it must be the same to observe cockfighting.

She nodded, "I made a note of it." ”

Gu Niangzi began to drop the needle.

Nan Baoyi followed the needle.

Gu Niangzi explained very carefully, almost stitch by stitch.

Nan Baoyi felt that he understood.

She rolled up her sleeves and dropped the needle, and her posture was as reserved as everyone's ladies.

An hour passed, Gu Niangzi looked at the pattern on the embroidered cloth of Nanbao's clothes and fell into deep thought.

It's obviously a one-on-one face-to-face teaching, so it's almost hand-in-hand, why is this Nanwu girl, the embroidered things are still so strange?
