Chapter 114: Two Things
Qin's embroidered "Flower Bear Funny Picture" was finally embroidered. The embroidery is one foot square, or double-sided embroidery. The whole embroidery is elegant, the money strip is bright, the stitching is lively, the flower bear is simple, lifelike, and more exquisite and beautiful than the painting.
Before, Xu Lanyin spent twenty taels of silver to make a carved kang screen frame of wenge wood in the carpenter's shop. He took it to the framing shop and embedded the embroidery in it.
Even the master of the framing shop praised it, saying that it was the first time someone embroidered a bear, and he embroidered it so well. A southern merchant happened to be here, willing to buy it for three hundred taels of silver, but Xu Lan didn't sell it, so he thought he could still sell it for a high price.
She has always wanted to go to the capital, sell embroidery, go to see the Hundred Herbs Hall, and then lead Xu Lanting to a famous doctor for recuperation.
The Qin family seemed to be very resistant to the capital, and did not allow her to go, and was resolute, saying that if she really wanted to go, she would go to the provincial capital.
Xu Lanyin said, "Going to the provincial capital is not much shorter than going to the capital, it is better to go to the capital." Don't worry about us, my mother and Lan Zhou will accompany us. ”
She didn't want Zhao Wu to go to the capital for the time being, so she didn't mention Zhao Wu.
The Qin family also wanted to take care of his youngest son's illness as soon as possible. It turned out that the family had no extra money, and her health had not been good. Now the family conditions are better, and the children have grown up, but they still don't want them to go to the capital. insisted, "Go to the provincial capital, there are also good doctors there." Mother won't go, let Zhou'er accompany her, it's best to let Wu'er take a few days off, and you can go together. ”
The matter of going to the capital had to be put aside for the time being.
The next day, when she went to Hu's house, Xu Lanyin told Mrs. Hu that she wanted to ask Hu Wan in the provincial capital to help find a good doctor who was good at pediatrics.
Mrs. Hu smiled, "Okay, I'll have someone send a letter to Wan'er tomorrow." Lanting is a good boy, smart and beautiful, and I like him too. It's good to recuperate while you're young, but if you delay until you're older, some diseases will be even more difficult to treat. ”
Xu Lanyin hurriedly thanked her.
Xu Lanyin went home and told the Qin family and Xu Lanting about the Hu family, and both of them were also very happy.
In the evening, Zhao Wu came back from the ya, not very happy.
Xu Lanting joked, "The reward is less, are you unhappy?" ”
Zhao Wugan laughed twice, knocked on his head and said, "Look down on your big brother Zhao." He said to Xu Lanyin, "I have two things today, one good and one bad, which one do you want to hear first?" ”
This line is familiar.
Xu Lanyin said, "Whatever." ”
Zhao Wu said, "I was transferred to Brother Xu, and I was in charge of the security of the county. ”
"Looks like that's a good deal, so you have to reuse it." Xu Lanyin said this, but he secretly said in his heart, and it was not necessarily a good thing to suddenly transfer away from He Zhukuai, who took care of him.
However, Zhao Wu is in charge of the security of the capital, so he will monitor the Yiju Restaurant even more.
Zhao Wu said again, "Let's talk about the bad news again." I don't know why, it turns out that Master He was very good to me, but now he ignores me. I went up to the pole and talked to him, and he didn't hear him. Then he plucked his head and said, "I have not offended him." ”
Zhao Wu didn't understand very much, and his eyebrows twisted into a rope.
Master He is the master of the Min County Order.
Xu Lanyin thought for a while and asked, "How does Lord Min treat you?" ”
Zhao Wudao, "I've seen Master Min once in the past few days, as usual. He added, "I'm not stupid, how can I offend the county master." The last time I went to tell him about the Wang family, I paid attention to what I said, and I didn't offend him at all. Now, his good name is even greater, and I also have credit for it, and it is impossible to be dissatisfied with me. ”
Xu Lanyin couldn't figure out the joints, and said suspiciously, "You may have offended Master He, or you may have offended Lord Min without knowing it." Master Min is high, no matter how dissatisfied he is with you, he will not be as knowledgeable as the little catcher, he just needs his dog legs to give you a look. He pursed his lips and said, "There is another possibility, you committed a villain, and someone went to Lord Min to sue you for your black state." ”
Zhao Wu took a breath of cold air and said, "Could it be that it is Zhang Zhutou?" But I heard that I could be transferred to Brother Xu, and it was recommended by him and Master Sun. His eyes widened again, and he said, "This thing is not in line with Zhang Zhutou's character, and it is said that his heart and eyes are as small as a needle nose." He wouldn't have deliberately transferred me out of Uncle He's control and then made it bad, right? ”
Xu Lanyin said, "It must be like this." No matter what the situation, you must be more cautious in your words and deeds in the future, and don't follow the way of others. Another day, I will find an opportunity to go to Min's house and mention to Mrs. Min that you refused to arrest Zhang's daughter's family. If Zhang Zhutou really broke you in front of Lord Min, we can be regarded as explaining the reason to them. But this thing must be done without revealing traces, and it must not be discovered by Lord Min who does not like it. ”
The Qin clan was also worried about Zhao Wu when he heard this. said, "It is said that the relationship in the public door is the most complicated, and some people are bad-eyed. You must go to the government on time, don't go out with them if you have nothing to do, and don't take money that you shouldn't take if you offend people......"
Zhao Wu didn't want them to worry about themselves, and said with a smile, "Maybe I'm too careful, don't worry about me sister-in-law and sister." ”
On the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Lanyin was going to the mountains to pick peach blossoms again, and she wanted to make another box of peach blossom resin, and send it to Min Nan together with the two boxes of rouge she had made before.
Xu Lanting cried until he cried. Xu Lanyin thought that there was a peach blossom tree at the foot of the mountain in the south, so she also took him with her. Because he was going, he brought a gourd of hot boiled water and two pieces of refreshment.
Hanako and Asako are running next to their legs and the other is flying above their heads, which is very interesting.
Back home, Qin made a pot of eggs and lo mein.
After eating, he made paste under the guidance of the Qin family. I don't need the paste that Qin did, but I was very interested in doing it.
Generally, the easiest way to make rouge at home is to put the petals in a stone mortar and pound them carefully, filter the dregs with a fine cloth, dry the juice, and drop a little oil.
However, Qin's method is much more troublesome, and there are many raw materials used, and the paste produced is much better, the color is bright and moist, and the fragrance is more pure.
Xu Lanyin said with a smile, "These pastes made by my mother are better than those sold in the fat powder shop." ”
Qin Shi smiled, "My mother is the best at making these things......" Thinking of something far away, her gaze became empty. He looked ahead for a while, sighed lightly, and lowered his head again.
Xu Lanyin asked inquiringly, "Is my grandfather and grandmother still alive?" ”
The Qin clan acted as if he hadn't heard it.
Several children in the family have asked these questions before, and she has this attitude.
Xu Lanyin had to keep her mouth shut.
The next morning, the peach blossom water in the bowl had already been juiced, and Xu Lanyin picked the peach blossom paste into two small porcelain boxes. Because of the addition of hosta powder and a little filtered pearl powder from their own grinding, the pink paste is shining.
Xu Lanyin prefers this color and this faint fragrance, while most of the little ladies of this era like bright red and stronger aromas.
