Chapter 33: The girl of her own choice

Of course, it was not only Shu Yunniang who was amazed, Shang Dongliang and the housekeeper Uncle Gen arranged some things to go down, and when they returned to the back house to eat, they happened to see the third daughter's outfit. Seeing this, I was worried about sales and fell steadily.

After eating, Shang Ruonan can have a good rest tonight. Because the next thing has to be handled by my father. What I can do, I have done almost it, saying that tomorrow I will let people go to the merchant's embroidery workshop to get the size of the prefect's clothes, and with the size, it is good to tailor, and then guess the colors and patterns she likes according to the second sister often with her, and then make it.

After an early wash. You can't sleep even if you lie down. He sat down at the desk next to him and picked up a book to read. The book seems to be like the enlightenment of sound and rhythm, and it is all neat sentences, but most of the words are recognizable. Because they are all some characters with a slight touch of traditional Chinese characters. It seems that in the past, the supervisor required that the computers that do business with Hong Kong and Taiwan must learn to use traditional characters, and forced everyone to learn traditional characters, but now they have helped themselves.

I looked at this one and went to pick up another one. It's kind of interesting, it looks like a kind of fable. It seems to be a book that teaches people to do things and behave, and people who have always gone to bed late can't fall asleep when they lie down early. It's better to read a book.

The person who was reading the book seriously didn't notice that the two girls on the other side had different expressions, and the two of them looked at the young lady who could finally sit down quietly to read the book, that kind of surprised expression, if Shang Ruonan saw it, he would be surprised, I just read a book, is there such a surprise?

The two girls quietly went to make up the bed, and then went to make some preparations before going to bed, and Peony was going to make a cup of tea for the young lady, but was stopped by Lilac and said:

"If you make her tea again, drink it for a while and don't sleep. She didn't sleep last night, didn't she say it was because she drank tea? ”

Peony think about it too. But when the young lady reads a book, she must do something by herself. Lilac went and fetched a sewing basket. There are also some unfinished handkerchiefs inside. These veils have to be twisted, otherwise they will run out of thread. In this way, it won't take two days, or if you take it out, it will also drop the line, and people will say that this young lady's girl is useless.

This is a problem with the girl's face, and it has to be done. Although some young ladies like to make their own handkerchiefs, the demand for young lady's handkerchiefs is a bit large, and they need to be prepared, especially this young lady in their own family does not know how to do needlework. That's the matter of two girls.

With cloves, they help to do it, as long as there is a handkerchief, Shang Ruonan will not care so much. Shang Ruonan, who was reading a book, looked at it, and suddenly thought of one thing, I don't know if there are any printed books in this era, and these books in his hand can be seen at a glance to be copied. This is a transcription of several books.

Is it all copied?

Can the one who prints his own clothes also be used to print books? But when you engrave a book, you can print it and lose it. That's a waste, so what to do? Word-by-word typography? Is that an ancestral thing? Well, you can ask this question to see if you can try it.

I wrote this down in my heart, and I thought about how to draw some patterns, and I knew how to draw some things, but if the person who carved the picture couldn't do that artistic conception, it would be in vain.

But if it's okay, let's draw a few first, and see how many charms we can make. Thinking about it. Shang Ruonan opened the drawing paper again, and looked at the master to paint again. The two girls hurriedly stepped forward with the things in their hands, grinding the ink and pressing the paper. But the master just put on a posture, but didn't lift the pen, does he want to blow the painting again?

After Shang Ruonan thought about it, he just picked up the brush and drew a few times on the paper, and a majestic mountain came out, there seemed to be strange rocks on the mountain, and there was a pine tree on the side of the mountain, which seemed to be standing alone on the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, Miao Miao's strokes drew a stream.

At the edge of the stream, a few more strokes, a few dwarf trees came out, and there was a faint hut in the forest. But after the painting was finished, in the surprise of the cloves and peonies, Shang Ruonan crumpled the painting again.

"Oh, miss. That's a great drawing. How to throw it away. ”

Peony bent down in distress to pick it up. Shang Ruonan frowned and said:

"It's not good, I didn't notice the concentration of that ink, it won't look good when it dries tomorrow."

Sit down and look at the two girls and say:

"I ask you, I have a lot of things to remember now. You have to tell me, why do my sisters and sisters have nurses in their yards, but I don't? ”

Lilac sighed:

"Miss, how could you not. The big lady just took a leave of absence from the lady. said that her mother-in-law was seriously ill. But how did she know that she had only been back for two days, and she was told that she was dead. So she had to take a leave of absence. No, it's been almost seven days. Haven't come back yet. ”

Peony nodded:

"Count, maybe I'll be back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, but when I come back and know about Miss's injury, I'm afraid we'll all be scolded."

Shang Ruonan smiled and said:

"What happened to me has nothing to do with you. What do you scold you for. ”

Lilac and Peony glanced at each other, but did not speak again. But the small movements of the two were in Shang Ruonan's eyes. It seems that this nurse is still a little fierce!

Shang Ruonan said again:

"Aside from the two of you, what's the name of that little girl at our door here? I don't know what her name is in and out for the past two days. ”

Lilac smiled:

"The little errand girl in our yard is helping to deliver a message or something, called Xiao Tao. Because of this peach tree planted in our yard, the young lady you named her Xiao Peach. ”

"And how many years have you two been with me?"

Shang Ruonan was a little unfigured and half-lying on the table, looking at the two girls and asked.

"I've been with Miss for five years, and I've been following Miss since I entered the house when I was six years old."

Lilac said.

"I've been with Miss for almost five years. I'm more than cloves after coming to Miss's side. I'm also a year older than Lilac. ”

Peony also brought a stool. Sitting down while sewing a handkerchief, I talked to the young lady about it.

Shang Ruonan looked at the two girls, they all looked like beautiful little beauties. Why did you go into the house and be a girl?

"Lilac, why did your family send you to this mansion?"

Lilac thought for a moment and said:

"I don't have a family. I've been with a dealer since I was a child, and it was the dealer who sold me to the master. Then I followed the young lady. ”

"What about you?"

Shang Ruonan looked at the peony again.

Peony smiled:

"Miss, I am the son of the house, my father and mother are in Zhuangzi, when I was seven years old, the lord and Mrs. wanted to choose a few girls to enter the house, and Hongxing and I entered the house at that time. Hongxing was chosen by the third lady, and you asked for me. ”

Yes? Is this a girl of your choice?
