"What are you embroidering?" The old lady looked at the flower bandage in Mu Yu's hand from a distance, and her already somewhat wrinkled face was even more frapped into a bun at this time.

Mu Yu paused for the movement in his hand, "I want to embroider a wishful cabbage, but grandmother doesn't think it's like it?" ”

Not to mention the old lady, even Shen Mei's brows were frowned together, and there was a kind of helplessness that was difficult to speak.

Mu Yu looked around, and the maids and women serving on the side all kept their mouths closed, and none of them dared to make a sound, "How similar is this, you look at the junction of emerald green and white silk threads, how well I handled it." ”

In the end, it was the old lady who opened her mouth, "As far as the things you embroider, it is a compliment to you for saying that it is rotten vegetable leaves." "The white and green are uneven, the stitches are sometimes dense and sometimes sparse, and they are simply things that cannot be entered into the eye.

Mu Yu didn't believe it, and raised it in front of Shen Mei, "Mother, you give a comment, it's much better for me to embroider vegetables and leaves?" ”

Shen Mei looked at his daughter, his eyes mixed with a hopeless sigh, "Yu'er, if you don't say it, I thought you were embroidering on the lawn." ”

"Poof." Biyue couldn't hold back, she covered her mouth and laughed.

The old lady looked at Shen Mei approvingly, "You really said a fair word." Then the old lady pointed to the white and green stuff on Mu Yuhua's bandage, "I don't know what you have learned after studying female red for so many years?" Who gave you this stitch with a positive stitch and a stitch with a reverse stitch? ”

Mu Yu put down the flower bandage awkwardly, looked at the delicate peony in his mother's hand, and suddenly felt a headache, "Grandmother is only stupid when I am clumsy, and I can't do this dexterous thing." ”

"Hmph, from tomorrow, I will teach you embroidery, I don't believe that I, the embroidery talent who was once famous in the capital, can't teach you well?"

When I was a child, the old lady's teaching was that it could be tortured, but now it is really dedicated to teaching, when I was a child, Mu Yu was stupid, and the old lady had more opportunities to scold, but when she grew so big, Mu Yu was still stupid, and the old lady was really frustrated.

"What are you embroidering here?" The old lady looked at the circle of flower bandages on the table, and her brows were eager to squeeze into a line.

"You're a duck?"

"Mandarin ducks."

"If you didn't have wings, I wouldn't think it looked like a bird." The old lady was mercilessly sarcastic. "What about this? Weed? ”

"Orchids."

"Hehe, this goldfish is still a little similar." The old lady smiled with rare relief, finally there was something decent.

But Mu Yu was puzzled, "Goldfish? I didn't embroider goldfish, did I? ”

The old lady was speechless, and pointed to the embroidery in front of her with a dry mouth, "Then what are you embroidering?" ”

"Spring flowers." Mu Yu took the flower bandage, and looked at his golden spring flowers with bitterness and hatred, no matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like a goldfish.

The old lady stared at the back of the "Spring Flower" for a long time, and a slight retreat rose in her heart, "You female red is too late to learn." ”

"I learned it at the age of six." Mu Yu replied. Six years old is not too late in ancient times.

"I mean, you learned from me too late, you're formed now, I can't teach you at all." The old lady was dissatisfied and put away a few flower bandages on the table for Mu Yu, and then stuffed them into her arms together, "If you continue to learn from me, it will be easy to ruin my reputation, you can go, I won't teach you." ”

Mu Yu has really felt a little fun in embroidery these days, "Don't, grandmother, I think I still have a chance, you can rescue it again." ”

"Let's go, I can't teach you." With that, the old lady once again coaxed Mu Yu out of the house.

Mu Yu happened to bump into Mu Yi with a stack of flower bandages, the flower bandages were stacked high, Mu Yi hurriedly walked up to help, "Why did you take so many flower bandages?" Why did your grandmother embarrass you again and teach you embroidery? ”

"My grandmother didn't embarrass me, but she told me not to ruin her reputation and said she wouldn't teach me." Mu Yu was aggrieved and nodded towards his embroidery, and it just so happened that the first one was the spring flower.

"Grandmother, why is this, I think your goldfish is well embroidered." Mu Yi's unintentional move gave Mu Yu the most real crit. She went back to the house with her goldfish in her hand.

But she has been "sleepless" for several days in a row, processing and adding points, is there no one who can? She didn't believe it, and in the end she kept the spring flowers, made them into a purse, and hung them around her waist.

It doesn't matter if it's a goldfish or a spring flower, in short, the results of these days can't be in vain.

The weather is in summer, and the days are getting more and more difficult, but Juxian Pavilion has swept the entire capital because of the iced sour plum soup, and Mu Yu went to join in the fun, and naturally bumped into many acquaintances, such as the most trustworthy Fang Xiao.

Since she and Xie Chongning were given marriage by the emperor, she hasn't been past Fang Xiao for a long time. But when Fang Xiao saw her, he was still as familiar as ever, "Why is Miss Mu only one person today, why didn't Wan Wan accompany you?" ”

"Accompanied my eldest brother." Mu Yu said decadently, in this hot weather, she has no strength to speak, and she has no polite thoughts.

"That's right, you're at the same table as us."

There is only one person in the seat, how can we say that?

"Why are you here so late? In a little while, the sour plum soup will be sold out! Fang Xiao couldn't help but complain, and then angrily let the visitor sit on Mu Yu's side.

Xie Chongning was still dressed in a black suit, and the black fabric wrapped himself tightly, but there was no trace of sweat on his cold face.

Mu Yu was very envious, wearing a heat-absorbing black, it could still be so refreshing, it was really a legendary walking ice cube.

"What's wrong?" Xie Chongning saw Mu Yu staring at him, and asked.

Mu Yu embarrassedly retracted his presumptuous gaze and said shyly, "I saw that Brother Xie just came in from outside, but there was not a drop of sweat, and I was a little envious." ”

Xie Chongning pondered for a while, called the shopkeeper, and intimately called Mu Yu a cup of sour plum soup.

Mu Yu was embarrassed to hold the soup bowl, taking a small sip of this rare coolness in summer, and was suddenly attracted by the crystal clear solid in the bowl, "I can't imagine that this Juxian Pavilion can still have ice cubes in summer?" ”

"This Juxian is an ice cellar, and the ice is hidden in the east sky, and it will be used in summer." Xie Chongning explained.

Mu Yu had an epiphany, no wonder, this Juxian Pavilion is really a bit of a business acumen, no wonder it can be so expensive, and it can still stand.

"I said, when will you two get married, and when will I be able to eat the wedding wine?" Fang Xiaocai ate a mouthful of dog food on the side, and naturally couldn't stop.

"What are you anxious about?" Xie Chongning smashed over with a cold look.

"It's not that I'm in a hurry, I'm looking at the two of you loving and loving in front of me, and my heart is sour." He is alone, and he just sits as a matchmaker for the two of them, why are you still here, watching the two of them fall in love?

Mu Yu pursed his lips, "Then the son of the world might as well find a girl he likes to marry as soon as possible." ”

"Shizi, Master Xie is also here." Mu Liangxuan dragged his heavy body and also came to Juxian Pavilion to join in the fun, but after not seeing him for a few days, Mu Liangxuan seemed to be much fatter again.

And because of the summer, his face was covered with sweat, and he looked so embarrassed.

Mu Yu also heard that after Mu Liangxuanli came to the Luanping Marquis Mansion, he was promoted, and now he is a fourth-grade official in the central government, and he is on an equal footing with Mu Yi.

It's just that his promotion really came too fast, saying that he had a merit in managing the water in Chuzhou, but he had been with Mu Liangxuan for so long, and he had no ability to deal with the flood in Mu Liangxuan's way of nature.

Xie Chongning's identity and Fang Xiao's identity are higher than Mu Liangxuan's, and Fang Xiao also knows a thing or two about what Mu Liangxuan does, and neither of the two took the initiative to deal with Mu Liangxuan.

Mu Liangxuan was not embarrassed, but looked at Mu Yu and asked arrogantly, "Sister, I don't know that my eldest brother's gambling debt of 10,000 taels has not been repaid, if it is not repaid, you come to beg me, I can also help, no matter what, it is also my eldest brother." ”

"Debt? What kind of debt do you say? Mu Yutian put down the soup bowl innocently and asked rhetorically.

"Hehe, sister, I know that the Hou Mansion is having a hard time now, but none of the people here are outsiders, if you tell me about your suffering, I will help my brother." Mu Liangxuan didn't care that Xie Chongning was still sitting in his position, a pair of dead fish eyes stuck to Mu Yu, and the blasphemy was very obvious.

The air pressure around Xie Chongning became lower and lower, and even Mu Yu, who was sitting on the side, didn't come and felt the cold wind blowing directly around him.

"I heard that you and Sanfang have separated?" Xie Chongning asked knowingly and looked at Mu Yu.

Mu Yu swept Mu Liangxuan contemptuously, "Yes." ”

"That's good, I'll ask the matchmaker to send a dowry another day." Xie Chongning drank tea calmly, "By the way, the person who cheated the eldest brother of the money has now been detained by Dali Temple, and you don't have to worry about debts." ”

Mu Yu's face was calm, but he was happy to speak in his heart, Xie Chongning was cold and silent, and he would not usually participate in their family affairs, but now these three words and two words actually pierced Mu Liangxuan's heart.

"The person has already been caught, thank you, sir, you really helped a lot." Mu Yu took the initiative to refill Xie Chongning's tea, "I have no words to thank you, I can only replace wine with tea to express my respect for adults." ”

Mu Liangxuan originally wanted to show off himself, and by the way, he teased Mu Yu, who would have thought that Xie Chongning's wild seed not only sarcastically wanted to share Mu Yu's dowry, but also solved a big problem in the Hou Mansion.

"Lord Xie said, you caught that liar?" Mu Liangxuan asked.

Xie Chongning didn't raise his head and didn't answer him.

"What kind of liar is my brother talking about?" Mu Yu also deliberately went around in circles.

"It's the one who deceived Mu Yi of 10,000 taels, and he also defrauded me of 1,500 taels." Mu Liangxuan clenched his fists, "Since he was arrested, what about my 1,500 taels?" ”

Mu Yu pursed her lips and smiled, your silver is naturally in my purse, but she can't say this, "Lord Mu is really joking, are we talking about the same person?" "Calling him Master Mu is a promotion of him.

"How come it's not the same person? After that person cheated me out of my silver, he came to cheat Mu Yi's silver, and now that he has been caught by Dali Temple, will my silver also be returned to me? ”

"My eldest brother was cheated of his money, and I immediately reported to the official, did you report to the official, then, my lord?" Mu Yu saw that Mu Liangxuan was silent, and asked again, "My lord, you said that you were deceived of money, and you didn't report to the official, who knows if you came here nonsense?" ”
