Chapter 017: Hidden Embroidery and Blooming
The reason why Fu Yuanlan slandered Fu Yuanyuan today was because of the idea of the mediocre embroidery of the silk handkerchief she used yesterday.
Most of the silk handkerchiefs used by women are embroidered by themselves.
Fu Yuanyuan is not good at embroidery, and being jealous and framing her is a valid reason.
"Yuanlan, come and have a look." The old lady's voice was flat, and she couldn't hear her emotions.
Fu Yuanlan got up and went over.
"No, this is impossible, I have obviously seen the silk handkerchief used by the second sister herself, and the embroidery is obviously different from this!"
How can someone just die so obsessively and unrepentantly?
Fu Yuanyuan sighed secretly, took out the folded white silk handkerchief from his arms, and did not open it: "The third sister is talking about this silk handkerchief?" ”
Fu Yuanlan saw that it was indeed the handkerchief used by Fu Yuanyuan yesterday, and said busily: "This is it." ”
"It's really me who embroidered it."
Fu Yuanyuan smiled frankly and handed the silk handkerchief to the old lady, "Please take a look at grandmother." ”
The old lady took the silk handkerchief and slowly spread it out.
The silk handkerchief is minimalist, the plain white handkerchief is made of fine Su silk, and only three or five light purple summer lotus flowers are faintly embroidered on it, which is really ordinary at first glance.
However, the old lady shook her hand: "This is hidden embroidery?" ”
Hidden embroidery is the famous embroidery girl Pinggu in the south of the Yangtze River, it is said that it is difficult to find a piece of her work.
The characteristic of hidden embroidery is that if there is nothing, the grass view is ordinary, but if you look closely, you will be shocked by the exquisite elegance.
Fu Yuanyuan looked shy: "Back to my grandmother, Yuanyuan was just fortunate to have studied with Aunt Ping for a year, and she just got three points of true biography." ”
Is it hidden embroidery?
The three sisters of Fu Yuanqing were so surprised that their jaws couldn't catch it, and they stared at it carefully.
How precious and rare hidden embroidery is, but everyone knows it.
You need to know that even the ladies in the palace will smile proudly because they have dresses made of hidden embroidery!
What kind of shit is Fu Yuanyuan going, and he can get Pinggu's guidance for a year?
It's really unwilling to lose!
Fu Yuanlan's mouth opened and closed, but her mind couldn't turn around, and she didn't know how to continue to argue.
Fu Yuanyuan pursed his lips and smiled, he was framed three times and twice, and it was not a female paper to beat the water dog without pain.
She flattened her mouth aggrievedly, and wanted to cry: "Grandmother, Yuan Yuan hasn't been back for many years, I really don't understand why the fourth sister ...... Yuan Yuan like this just after he came back."
The old lady looked at Fu Yuanyuan's eyes that looked like a second son, and was stunned for a while.
Fu Pingyuan is her youngest son, who has been a treasure in her heart since he was a child, and has never shaken his position in her heart for many years.
And Fu Yuanyuan is the only daughter of the second son.
couldn't help but sink his face at Fu Yuanlan: "Yuanlan, you really disappointed your grandmother this time." Go back and copy the female commandments fifty times a day, and you must not step out of the courtyard for a month. ”
Fu Yuanlan's face turned pale, and she fell to the ground with malaise.
The fifth girl, Fu Yuanzhu, hurriedly helped her up, confessed to the old lady, and helped Fu Yuanlan to leave the Begonia Residence.
Out of the Begonia Residence, Fu Yuanzhu couldn't help but persuade: "Fourth sister, we have never had any entanglement with the second sister, why do you have to do that?" ”
Fu Yuanlan gritted her teeth and waited for her sister to look at her angrily: "Fu Yuanzhu, it's not your turn to teach me a lesson!" ”
"My sister knows that the fourth sister wants to make the eldest sister happy," Fu Yuanzhu frowned, "Just do this......"
"Shut up!"
Fu Yuanlan slammed Fu Yuanzhu away: "If you don't want to help me, don't say these cool words!" ”
With that, she stumbled and ran briskly.
After lunch.
Inside, the old lady wore a forehead given by Fu Yuanyuan, looked left and right in front of the rhombic glasses, and really liked it.
Mama Hu stood aside: "The second girl is really a seven-trick exquisite heart, look at this forehead, it is very suitable for Mrs. to wear it." People look good and good-looking! ”
The old lady smiled and glanced at her: "Your mouth is just able to speak." ”
She carefully looked at her face in the mirror: "Ahu, this begonia flower is delicate, will it be too fancy to wear it when I am old?" ”
"Not fancy at all!" Mama Hu said with a smile, "The second girl's color scheme is a thought at a glance, not only does it not look fancy, but it has a calm and solemn beauty." The slave and maid looked at it, and it was more suitable for you than the forehead wiping on the side. ”
The old lady smiled and bowed her head, and she thought the same way.
"Ahu, what do you think of the second girl's incident today?"
Mama Hu helped the old lady to the edge of the bed and sat down: "The slave maid thinks that the fourth girl is afraid that she didn't understand it for a while, so she did those things impulsively." After all, he is still young, and he will be taught by the good students, and he will slowly become reasonable. ”
The old lady sighed: "What Ahu said is true. ”
"I think the second girl is also a master who can't stand being wronged."
Mama Hu didn't seem to be dissatisfied when the old lady said this, so she smiled and took it: "There is a daughter of the second girl in the second room, and she has been spoiled since childhood." ”
"That's not a bad thing."
The old lady smiled, and she saw Fu Yuanyuan's two counterattacks, how could she not know.
"The second girl has a right mind, and she is also clever, even if she doesn't know how to forbear, it's not too much of a problem."
"The girl of our Guogong Mansion should have such a heart."
After returning to the National Mansion, the two bedrooms and three meals a day are provided by the large kitchen of the National Mansion.
Fu Pingyuan has served in Jiangnan for many years, and his family moved back to the capital, and the servants he brought back were as many as thirty or forty people, from the steward to the sweeping mother-in-law.
It also includes Aunt Qiu, a cook hired by the Shen family, and a cook.
However, there is no rule in the government that each room has a private kitchen.
Fu Pingyuan mentioned this matter to the Shen family before returning to the capital, but the Shen family insisted on bringing Aunt Qiu and others over, and Fu Pingyuan went with her.
At lunchtime, Fuping Yuan rarely returned to Haitian Courtyard to dine with the mother and daughter.
"Husband," Shen smiled and gave Fu Pingyuan and Fu Yuan Yuan a round cloth, "Eat more." ”
Fu Pingyuan pulled Shen Shi to sit down, and sandwiched a small bowl of food for her: "Ah Miao, you also have to eat more, I have seen a decrease in the past few days." ”
Shen picked up the chopsticks and picked out a few grains of rice and put them in his mouth: "I'm not hungry yet, husband, you and Man Man eat quickly." ”
"Where is my mother not hungry," Fu Yuanyuan dismantled, "Dad, my mother is not used to eating dishes made in the big kitchen, so she eats less every day, and it is strange that she is not thin." ”
Fu Pingyuan put down his chopsticks and glanced at the dishes on the table, all of which were the Beijing dishes he loved to eat since he was a child.
After returning home, he was able to taste authentic Beijing cuisine, and his appetite was excellent, but he didn't want to ignore Shen's feelings.
The Beijing cuisine is oily and salty, while the Jiangnan cuisine is light and sweet, no wonder Shen is not used to eating it.
"Let Aunt Qiu cook some Yangzhou dishes and send them."
Shen glanced at Fu Pingyuan with resentment, even if Man Man didn't dismantle the stage today, she planned to mention this matter in the near future.
"There is no precedent for a private kitchenette in the house," Shen sighed, "We have just returned to the house in the second room, how can we make such a request?" ”
"Let the big kitchen cook some light dishes?"
What Shen said was reasonable, Fu Pingyuan knew that it was unlikely to open a small kitchen, so he came up with other ideas.
Shen sighed: "Where didn't you say it, it was Mama Zhu sent by the eldest lady, and the concubine also asked her to help." I didn't know that the dishes sent were still the same, and the steward of the big kitchen said that he would only cook Beijing dishes. ”
"Is it appropriate to let Aunt Qiu help in the big kitchen?"
"The big kitchen is an important place in the house, and it is easy not to accept the cook into it," Shen shook her head, she had no such plans, "Besides, Aunt Qiu is not an ordinary cook, this matter is not appropriate." ”
Fu Pingyuan frowned.
Shen smiled: "But Aunt Qiu will make some snacks in the afternoon, so don't worry too much." ”
Although it is not possible to have a private kitchenette, it is not uncommon for owners to make their own snacks if they are hungry in the afternoon or night.
Fu Pingyuan's brows were not much relieved by this sentence: "Think of a way for your husband." ”
