Chapter 013: Whoever is stupid knows
Early in the morning of the second day.
Fu Yuanyuan got up early and went to the Begonia House with his mother to greet the old lady.
Haitian Courtyard is about a fifteen-minute walk from Haitang Residence, and when the mother and daughter walked to the fork in the road with the maid, they heard a warm call: "Second sister! β
is Fu Yuanlan, the daughter of the third room, who ranks fourth in the house. She had a slightly round face, a short stature, and a bright smile.
She stepped forward and took the initiative to hold Fu Yuanyuan's arm, and smiled sweetly at Shen: "Yuanlan has seen the second uncle. β
Shen's jaw head.
"Second uncle, Yuanlan has something to say to the second sister," Fu Yuanlan tilted her head and looked naΓ―ve, "I don't know if it's convenient?" β
Shen glanced at his daughter: "You sisters talk, the second aunt takes the first step." β
Fu Yuanyuan glanced at the familiar Fu Yuanlan and smiled back.
As the daughter of the third room, Fu Yuanlan has a low status among the sisters in Fuzhong, and she likes to follow Fu Yuanqing the most on weekdays, saddle her before and after.
"The second sister has returned home, and our sisters will be even more lively in the future," Fu Yuanlan held Fu Yuanyuan and walked slowly, "The second sister is so gentle and elegant, grandmother will definitely like the second sister very much." β
"A few days ago, my grandmother took the school exam for the sisters' needlework, and today everyone has to hand in their homework, is the second sister ready?"
Fu Yuanyuan covered his mouth with a silk handkerchief and yawned elegantly, pretending to be surprised: "What homework did you hand in?" β
Glancing at Fu Yuanyuan's seemingly ordinary silk handkerchief, Fu Yuanlan was inexplicably happy in her heart.
He took out a silk handkerchief from his bosom, and embroidered it with a picture of flowers blooming and wealth: "This is it." Second sister, look, this is my own embroidery. β
Fu Yuanyuan glanced at it, Fu Yuanlan's needlework is indeed okay, the composition is neat and clear, and the stitches are well-proportioned and delicate.
"The embroidery is good."
Fu Yuanlan looked proud.
Although she is not as talented as others and inferior in appearance among sisters, the only thing she can be proud of is embroidery.
She took out another silk handkerchief from her arms: "My sister knew that the second sister had just returned home, and she must have no time to prepare, so she embroidered one more," she put the silk handkerchief in Fu Yuanyuan's hand, "The second sister can take it and give it to grandmother in a while." β
Fu Yuanyuan looked thoughtfully at the silk handkerchief in his hand.
The embroidery of this silk handkerchief is also excellent, and it is obviously from the hand of Fu Yuanlan.
Embroidered is elegant and noble white chrysanthemum, some bud to be released, some proudly bloom, if you talk about composition and embroidery, I am afraid that it is better than the flower blooming rich silk handkerchief.
It's just that the white chrysanthemum represents remembrance and mourning, and the elderly usually don't like it.
And if Fu Yuanyuan is not mistaken, the old lady happens to hate Bai Ju the most.
It turned out that Fu Yuanlan was playing this wishful thinking.
Fu Yuanyuan frowned slightly.
Does she look like a fool?
How much does digging such a non-technical pit for her to jump in, how much does it discriminate against her IQ?
Or is it that with Fu Yuanlan's level, he can only dig such a pit?
Pulling her mouth, she pushed the silk handkerchief back: "The silk handkerchief that the fourth sister worked so hard to embroider, the second sister deserves it." β
Fu Yuanlan hurriedly stuffed the silk pass back: "What are the second sister and sister so polite to do?" This is my sister's heart, and the second sister must accept it. β
"That being the case," Fu Yuanyuan smiled thoughtfully, "then thank you for the kindness of the fourth sister." β
The two walked into the Begonia House together, and it was already lively.
After greeting the old lady and asking for warmth, the old lady sent the three ladies back to take care of the affairs first, leaving the girls to continue talking.
Among the granddaughters, the old lady is the most favorite is Fu Yuanqing.
Not to mention that she is the eldest daughter of the big house, no matter how good she looks and talents, she is the top of the list.
Moreover, she has always treated her younger sisters with kindness, gentleness and generosity, and she has the demeanor of a noble girl.
"Grandmother," Fu Yuanqing stood beside the old lady and smiled gently, "A few days ago, you asked our sisters to embroider a silk handkerchief in the name of flowers. β
Fu Yuanhua and the other sisters answered with a smile: "Please also ask grandmother to take a look." β
The old lady smiled and was very happy with the kindness of her granddaughters: "Hurry up and show it to grandmother." β
Silk handkerchiefs were delivered to the old lady, and she looked at this and that for a while, with a smile on her face.
Fu Yuanyuan stood aside, smiling and waiting.
Really.
Fu Yuanhua smiled and spoke: "I don't know what the second sister thinks of the sisters' embroidery?" Is the second sister good at female popularity on weekdays? Did you bring any embroidery with you to show your sisters? β
Fu Yuanyuan was still smiling and was not in a hurry to respond.
Really.
"Third sister," Fu Yuanqing pulled down Fu Yuanhua's sleeve at the right time, "It is said that Jiangnan embroidery is a must, and the second sister's embroidery must be outstanding." It's just that the second sister only returned home yesterday, how can I know that we all brought our respective embroideries over today. Don't be naughty. β
Fu Yuanlan and Fu Yuanqing exchanged a knowing look at each other, smiled and grabbed Fu Yuanyuan and said: "The second sister is good at embroidery, and the silk handkerchief she uses on weekdays must be the best one, can you take it out and show it to the sisters?" β
The old lady smiled: "Yuan Qing is right, you girls are really noisy, Yuan Yuan just returned home, I guess you are confused." β
Fu Yuanyuan glanced at Fu Yuanlan with a smile, took out the white chrysanthemum silk handkerchief she had given her earlier from her arms, and handed it to the old lady.
Seeing this, the corners of Fu Yuanqing's lips couldn't help but hook up an extremely shallow arc.
Fu Yuanlan and Fu Yuanhua also couldn't hide the excitement in their eyes.
Not to mention that white chrysanthemum is my grandmother's least favorite flower, just from this silk handkerchief is from the hand of Fu Yuanlan, Fu Yuanyuan lied that Fu Yuanlan's embroidery is his own embroidery to invite merit and fell into the grandmother's taboo.
"Grandmother, Yuan Yuan didn't know that the sisters were going to offer embroidery today." Fu Yuanyuan spread out the white chrysanthemum silk handkerchief and handed it over, put it in the old lady's hand, and let her look at it carefully.
After a while, he said: "Fang was just outside the Begonia Residence, and the third sister was worried that Yuan Yuan would not be able to make a difference, so she gave this silk handkerchief to Yuan Yuan. β
She said slowly, her eyes drifting over Fu Yuanlan's face who suddenly stopped smiling: "It was said that Yuan Yuan was asked to use this silk handkerchief as his own embroidery for his grandmother." It's just that Yuan Yuan thought about it, since the third sister spent so much effort to embroider this silk handkerchief, she still had to tell her grandmother the truth. β
The old lady stared at the white chrysanthemum silk handkerchief in Fu Yuanyuan's hand, and her face gradually turned cold: "Yuanlan, what Yuan Yuan said is true?" β
Fu Yuanlan was so frightened that she let go of Fu Yuanyuan's arm, knelt down and bowed her head, and said, "Grandmother, Yuanlan is just worried that the second sister won't be able to hand in her homework, so that's why she ...... Yuan Lan didn't mean anything else, and asked her grandmother to forgive her sins! β
The old lady was silent, and the atmosphere in the room was solemn for a while.
After a long time, she said, "Go back and copy the female commandments a hundred times." β
"Yes!" Fu Yuanlan was busy, and retreated with red eyes and left the Begonia Residence.
After such a toss, the old lady suddenly lost interest, and dismissed the sisters after saying a few random words.
Fu Yuanyuan took the jade back to Haitian Courtyard.
As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I heard a loud bang.
Shu Sanniang greeted her and explained: "Second girl, Madame is asking people to tear down the wall to open up Haitian Courtyard and Luoxia Pavilion. β
