Qi Shi seemed to be carrying a big stone in his heart, sent away like smoke in a daze, and looked at the account book of the second room, and in a blink of an eye, it was dusk, and the second master staggered back to the main room.

Seeing that Qi was in a trance, he stepped forward and asked

"I heard that I returned home like smoke today, how did you lose your soul so much"

As he spoke, he took off his official uniform and threw it on the barrier in disgust.

"Master, this is like a pearl, like a dream, looking at Ji Xuan, do you have any arrangements for this marriage?"

"It's still early, why don't you mention it today?"

"I heard that there are many marriageable sons and family members at the month-end birthday banquet, and I want to ask the master if he has any plans, and I am ready to speak."

"I don't have much arrangement, but the eldest brother said to me as early as last year that he wants to find a family to help his career between Ruzhu and Rumeng, and Pingyang Houfu has been from literature for generations, and it is best to find a military general's family."

"How can your children make the big house the master, but the lord is generous"

"How can you a woman understand these twists and turns, Rutong of the big house has already been given to his son by the eldest brother's boss Yu Zhan, there is only one daughter in the big house, where can I find someone to marry"

"Hmph, the eldest brother is willing to give up his daughter for the sake of his career"

"Then Yu Zhan will be in office next year, and promise that the eldest brother will take over his position"

"I'm afraid that the old lady can't allow us to interfere in Ruzhu's marriage, and she has been quite favored by the old lady's side recently. It's only like a dream, if the eldest brother had already made arrangements, it seems that I don't have to run around."

Qi sat in front of the dressing table and said sourly. Remove the crown of the hairpin, pick up an ivory comb, and comb your hair. In her heart, she hopes to use the marriage of her concubine to change her reputation as a good housewife. However, I can't make my own decisions about things, and I feel a little unhappy.

And Rumeng, who lives in Dongjingtai Hutong, is showing off a hundred longevity pictures in the boudoir at this time. In silence, his fate was in the hands of his uncle. If you are dedicated to her, it will be fine, but just use her to become a pawn in the power struggle, and if you succeed, you will soar, and if you lose, it will not hurt your muscles and bones.

"Ping'er, there are still some fabrics in the small warehouse?"

"Miss Hui, there are only some old furniture and furnishings left in the warehouse in our yard, and there are no cloth jewelry. However, in the spring, my aunt said that she still had a few snow satin from the palace, and if the young lady wanted to make clothes, she would ask her."

"When you go to your aunt's courtyard, you will say that I will be useful for this satin, and reward me with some"

"Yes, the slave and maid will pass. I just sent some snowflake cakes from the big kitchen as soon as possible, Mrs. rewarded them, my aunt likes these, do you want to take some? ”

My aunt loves desserts, and these Qi families will not go to the backyard, but fortunately, Ping'er has a heart.

"Go ahead, pretend to be over, I always feel tired of these things"

Ping'er nodded silently, turned around and went down to arrange. Since the last time they came back from the upper room, neither the master nor the servant had mentioned the punishment of that day. Ping'er is becoming more and more steady and neat, and silence may be the best affirmation for harsh criticism.

There are still 20 days before the birthday banquet at the end of the month, and there is no problem with embroidering a quilt with the needlework of a dream. Grandmother has the heart to lift herself up, and she can't afford to miss the opportunity.

Rumeng used the most fashionable Suzhou embroidery, and I wanted to embroider a table screen, but I thought that there must be no shortage of those ornaments in the Taifu Mansion. The close-fitting quilt is from the embroidery workshop, and if you can embroider some Fulu styles in person, it will be pleasing.

remembered that in the Fang family in her previous life, she was alone in the empty room, and her mother-in-law didn't like her to play the piano and recite poems, so she could only polish the spring flowers and winter snow with a stitch and a thread.

On that day, in order to please his mother-in-law, he carefully embroidered a blessing bag.

Old Madam Fang held the blessing bag, frowning slightly:

"What is this?"

She also said with a smile:

"It's a blessing bag that has recently become popular, and the queen mother in the palace also asked the palace concubines to do it, and the daughter-in-law specially embroidered one for her mother, praying for your good health."

"It's a clever hand, but I'm not used to using these things, so which of you can play with them!"

Mrs. Fang said, threw it back, and was caught by the girl Chunxing.

Rumeng's smile suddenly froze on her face, and then Old Madam Fang said lazily:

"It's not that I'm hypocritical and dislike your things bad, it's just that the work you put into it is in vain. Those who know it, say that you are clever; I don't know, and I said that you were snubbed by my son, and you relied on these to pass the time. ”

Rumeng only felt like a fish burning in her throat and face, and retreated silently.

Since then, Rumeng and the Fang family have become more inseparable, and they are also respectful of the Fang River, and strangers are like passers-by. It seems that it is the kind that can't even complain.

"Yikes"

The embroidery needle pierced the fingertips, and the blood droplets rolled down like jade beads, and Rumeng quickly came back to his senses and took away some embroidered satin.

"Miss, why did you lose your mind again, the royal doctor's prescription is gone, or the slave maid will go to the pharmacy to catch a pair"

"It's okay, I'm just thinking about the color, and I accidentally got distracted"

"Slave and maid help you embroider. The old lady is really, why do you want to punish you for embroidery? Our young lady's handwriting is so good, can't she also go to the room to copy the scriptures? The third lady is really lucky, and the young lady who is involved will be unlucky. ”

"Ping'er, don't talk nonsense, grandmother didn't punish me, do you know who this embroidery is for?"

"Isn't it for the old lady, the slave maid deliberately chose the right material, is it wrong??"

"I chose the right one, it was indeed embroidered for the "old lady", but it was not the grandmother, I am afraid that the birthday banquet at the end of this month will be given to the old lady Tian."

"Isn't the old lady lifting up the young lady?"

"Therefore, this cannot be faked by other people's hands, and it is appropriate to suffer some burdens, because some people have enjoyed too many blessings in the past, and they will have to suffer in the future to compensate; And some people are paying for the sweet days ahead. ”

The ignorant Ping'er seems to understand whether he understands or not, and no longer disturbs the embroidery like a dream. And Rumeng seems to have persuaded herself to stop worrying about her past experiences.

The end of summer is approaching, the weather is getting cooler, the soft wind is blowing the door veil, and the heart of the dream is gradually warming, after all, it is easy to leave the pain behind when you return to youth.

"Say hello to my grandmother like a dream"

"Okay, sit down, you don't have to be so early to come and ask for peace, next time it's close to noon, so it's good to have dinner at Grandmother's"

"Yes, it's like a dream."

"Is there something wrong with coming here today?"

"I can't escape my grandmother's eyes, and I want to ask my grandmother to give me a few embroidery palms."

As he spoke, he motioned for Ping'er to hand over the things she had brought to Granny Yan.

The old lady took it and looked at it with Granny Yan. Rumeng inevitably seemed too eager for quick success, and took a few hanging scrolls, pillowcases, forehead wipes and Baishou pictures mixed together. She knew that the old lady would definitely look at the Baishou diagram carefully, and the rest was just a show. It's just the grandmother's attitude.

"Yes, the stitching of the four girls is really fine, and the color of the pattern can be excellent, as if it is this hundred longevity picture, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is from the hand of the embroidery workshop embroiderer, very good."

"Now that it's finished, the birthday banquet will be presented to Mrs. Tian in a few days, we old people love these very much."

"Grandmother Bing, this quilt still needs to be locked, and when the granddaughter takes it back, it can be completed in one day."

"Take it back, find a gift box and put it up"

"Grandmother, that forehead is also embroidered by my granddaughter recently, seeing the autumn, I heard that my grandmother has a moon tuberculosis and is afraid of the wind and cold, so I can relieve my grandmother's worries"

"This child is very caring, grandmother accepted your heart"

Rumeng is afraid that the old lady will dislike it, and discard it casually like the old lady Fang in the previous life. Nervousness and fear struck, his body straightened up, and his palms sweated rapidly after his grandmother accepted it.

"Grandmother, is the fourth sister here with you?"

At this time, Ruzhu walked into the hall with a book in hand.

"Come on, see if this is your fourth sister gave me a forehead, very elegant"

"It's really expressive, look at this velvet embroidered flower"

Ruzhu snuggled up to the old lady while talking, and her words were very intimate, and it seemed that she had been very pleased with the old lady recently.

Rumeng's heart was unspeakable, and seeing that what she wanted to say had been explained, she got up and said to the old lady

"Grandmother, granddaughter is going back to lock the edge of Baishoutu, so I won't bother"

"Okay, go back, don't rush to work, there are still a few days before the birthday banquet, don't hurt your eyes. And in the past few days, Mrs. Yan has made a few new clothes for a few of you, and I will send them to your room tomorrow, try them on, just weigh the weight, and make the winter clothes."

"Grandmother, such as beads, is there too"

"Yes, there are, even your mother's yard has it, how can you be without you, a leather monkey?"

Ruzhu playfully stretched out her tongue and raised her head

"Grandmother, let's rest for a while, I'm going to copy the ancient books, and the birthday banquet will be presented to Mrs. Tian. Retired with the fourth sister"

"Go, go, go, I'm going to take a nap too, I'm too old to sit still"

Rumeng and Ruzhu exited the upper room, and Ping'er and her girl Red Lotus glared at each other like high-spirited roosters. It seems that the hatred between the two is deeper than that of these two masters.

"Fourth sister, is this cured? Didn't my sister say you, if the golden hairpin had been given to me earlier, I wouldn't have suffered from that flesh and skin. Fortunately, my sister and I are blessed by misfortune and can accompany my grandmother to do my filial piety. I don't care about the events of the day. ”

"It's just that there is one thing to tell my sister, don't fight with me in the future, it's your others who can't snatch it, look at the hairpin, it's not that it was thrown into the lotus pond in the robbery."

Rumeng sneered after hearing this, this Ruzhu was a year older than herself, how could she be as naïve as a child everywhere, disdainful of arguing with her, and said perfunctorily

"What the third sister said is very right, it is your others who can't take it away, and the third sister of the golden hairpin didn't succeed. Another blessing and misfortune always depend on each other, how does my sister know that my sister has not received good fortune? ”

"My sister is tired, take the first step, and the third sister is easy to go"

Turning around, he motioned for Ping'er to walk towards Dongjingtai Hutong.

He snorted angrily, flicked his sleeves and walked back to the study.

In this old lady's house, Granny Yan sorted out the tea set and waited for the old lady to take a rest

"Old woman Yan, what do you think of these four girls?"

"Old lady, you are really tormenting the old slave, the children and grandchildren of the Liu family are all good"

"You're very sloppy with me in private, and put away all the things you rule. I just can't see it before I ask you."

"I'm afraid the old lady already knows in her heart, but I just want to hear more"

"Hey, if you want to talk about this heart, I can't like her. When I was young, I didn't talk much, I had a small face, and I looked at everyone full of scrutiny, and my little mouth was like a gourd with a sawed mouth, and I didn't say much."

"The old slave thinks that the fourth lady is very calm, so there are few incidents, if anyone marries in the future, the family house will be peaceful."

But she never said what she asked, and how could others understand it. In the past, she still avoided everywhere, hiding in her boudoir and not coming out. But since the injury, I have acted with that scheming, which has made me pay attention."

"Compared with the three girls who are clear and fast-talking, it doesn't seem to be simple"

"The old lady is too worried, the four girls are afraid of getting older, and they want to plan for themselves, as long as the heart is hot, why not give some help, do not endanger the foundation of the Liu family, do not damage the old lady's face, she wants to ride the wind, just help her and not lose"

"If you want me to say this Manchurian, you old slave has a clear heart and a bright eye, and you always say a word. Well, there are many young talents at this birthday banquet through marriage, so it's up to her."

"Yes, it's going to be a birthday banquet soon, recently the old lady wants to raise her spirit, I heard that several old ladies of the Hou Mansion will go out of the mountain, and then your old lady will make trouble for another day."

The old lady listened to Granny Yan's whispering, gradually fell asleep, closed her eyes and fell asleep......
