Chapter 121: Hurry to make a birthday present
Lu Yue subconsciously raised her head but found that she was going the wrong way, so she waved her hand and turned around and walked back. Lu'er hurriedly followed, "Miss, aren't you going to the garden?" ”
"No, didn't you hear them just say that Xuan'er is about to have a birthday?" Lu Yue blinked with a pair of sparkling eyes.
Lu'er let out a soft voice and immediately understood, "Miss, you want to prepare a gift for the little prince?" ”
Lu Yue nodded, looking like she was thinking hard, what good to buy, what to buy expensive? But this Xuan'er is a little prince, and he has never seen any rare treasures since he was a child, and I'm afraid he won't really like it.
Lu Yue pondered and pondered, and when Lu'er saw Lu Yue's nerve-wracking appearance, she came up with an idea, "Miss, why don't you make a bowl of longevity noodles for the little prince yourself." ”
Anyway, this little prince likes to eat the food cooked by the young lady, so the little prince will be happy when he thinks about it, Lu'er couldn't help but think.
"Oops, why didn't I think of that." Lu Yue made a loud noise, startling Lu'er, and saw Lu Yue pulling Lu'er and not letting go: "Okay Lu'er, thanks to you for reminding me." ”
Lu'er looked confused, and when she reacted, Lu Yue had already hummed a little song and walked away, and Lu'er hurriedly chased after her and said, "Miss, have you thought of giving the little prince something?" ”
The corners of Lu Yue's mouth rose and glanced at Lu'er, nodding sincerely.
"What is it?" Midori asked shyly.
"Secret~" Lu Yue chuckled, and two words came out of her mouth.
The two frolicked all the way back to Qingxi Hall.
Lu Yue touched her chin, Lu'er reminded her just now, why didn't she make a birthday cake for Xuan'er? Thinking that there was no such thing in ancient times, Xuan'er would be happy when she saw it.
When she thought of the birthday cake, Lu Yue naturally thought of all kinds of dazzling goods now, but unfortunately Xuan'er was born in ancient times, so I am afraid she has never seen it.
Lu Yue had an idea, she could make a doll by hand and send it to Qin Zixuan, as soon as she thought of this, she immediately ordered Lu'er to recruit all the maids who could sit on needlework.
After a while, Lu'er led the four maids in, "Miss, the slave maid has brought all four of them, and their needlework is not bad." ”
"The slaves and maids have seen the princess~"
Lu Yue glanced at these people, well~ A few people looked at it very pleasing to the eye, so he ordered Lu'er to take out all the fabrics in the warehouse.
"Yes~" Several people retreated.
Lu Yue herself sat at the table, thinking carefully about what kind of doll to make for Qin Zixuan? Well, she picked up the pen and drew it carefully, until she was done, and nodded in satisfaction.
Lu Yue couldn't help but think that Qin Zixuan resembled Qin Mufeng's cold face, and couldn't help laughing, this little thing must be cute when it is made, and it will definitely make Xuan'er's cold face smile.
She said just do it, took out a blank piece of paper again, started to draw the pen, and after a while, she drew a chubby head, which looked silly, but Lu Yue drew the doll's honest appearance vividly.
"Miss~ The slaves and maids are all here." Lu'er's voice interrupted Lu Yue's musings.
Lu Yue raised her head, turned the table, walked in front of these maids, and looked at the cloth in their hands one by one.
In the end, Lu Yue only selected a batch of brown and green cloth, and Lu Er didn't know why, so she thought that Lu Yue had chosen the wrong one, so she said: "Miss, the color of this cloth is too old-fashioned, it's not as good as Miss ......."
Lu Yue waved her hand to interrupt, "It's okay, I like this fabric." Then she picked out other colors of cloth and sent them down.
Lu Yue quickly drew a large doll's head on the fabric, and commanded Lu'er for a while, signaling Lu'er to cut out the pattern with scissors first.
She drew the ears, arms, body, and so on, and when she had finished each of them, she handed them to a maid to cut them out, and waited until all the drawings were finished.
Lu Yue then ordered people to bring cotton, instructed them to sew a cloth bag first, then put cotton in, and finally sew the cloth bag with cotton into the doll's head, arms, body, and so on.
Several people worked until the night was dark, and even Lu Yue began to doze off sleepily, and when she saw that the other maids were all drowsy, she told them to go down to rest first, and then come back the next day.
Lu'er was confused and wanted to clean up the mess on the ground, Lu Yue directly pulled Lu'er up and motioned Lu'er to go to sleep quickly.
She took a few steps and flicked the things that had begun to take shape on the ground, and lay down on the bed, and then she didn't know what to do.
On the second day, with the unremitting efforts of everyone, the doll was finally made.
I saw that the doll's face was round, and the eyes that were shining like a pair of obsidian, or Lu Yue ordered someone to find a pair of opals to press, and the doll's nose and mouth were all cut into small noses with pink and red fabrics, and small mouths were sewn on them, which looked small and exquisite, just like the real thing.
And the chubby limbs, which look clumsy and honest.
"Wow, it's so cute~" Lu'er couldn't help but pinch the doll's chubby face.
"Yes, it looks really good~" A few maids echoed.
Lu Yue couldn't help but open Lu'er's hand, holding it and looking left and right, she felt very satisfied, these maids' hands were very skillful, and they couldn't even see the stitches, so they nodded directly and praised: "Reward, your craftsmanship is really good, this doll is very cute~"
When several maids heard that they were rewarded, they immediately smiled happily and knelt down to thank them.
Waiting for the maids to leave, Lu'er couldn't help but ask curiously, "Miss, this little thing is called a doll?" ”
"yes, isn't that what it's called in the script?" Lu Yue bent the corners of her mouth and said hello to Lu'er, she happily held the doll and turned around several times, Xuan'er would be very happy to see this gift.
The courtyard of Qingxi Hall was full of laughter and joy, and in Zhao Qingliu's courtyard, the entire little maid stood quietly, so frightened that they didn't dare to come out.
"Hey...."Zhao Qingliu looked at the blood beads on his snow-white fingers, and threw the embroidery needle in his hand on the table, Mei'er saw that it was not good for the blood stains to stain the unfinished clothes, so she hurriedly reached out and raised Zhao Qingliu's hand.
"Second Miss, be careful~"
"Hmph~" Zhao Qingliu shook off Mei'er's hand fiercely, looked at the several needles in his hand, and was so angry that he had the heart to eat people.
"Wow" Zhao Qingliu pushed all the teapots and cups on the table to the ground, the other maids were all trembling with fright, Mei'er's eyes flashed, and she stepped forward to dissuade her: "Second Miss~ Time is running out, why don't you slave maid come and make this little prince's clothes~"
When Zhao Qingliu heard this, his expression was slightly stunned, but he waved his hand, this old lady Qin's eyes are very sharp, whose handwriting is it, I am afraid that the old lady can see the way at a glance.
She glanced at Mei'er obliquely, "Are you sure that Qingxitang's little hooves didn't say the wrong thing?" ”
"Back to the second miss, this morning the slave maid personally went over, indeed they did needlework, as for what they did, the slave maid was too far away to hear clearly, I heard them say that they have to be rewarded, but the girl is now sent to the outer courtyard to do rough work, plus the maids in the inner courtyard are tight-mouthed, and they didn't inquire about it." Mei'er looked respectful.
"Useless things~" Zhao Qingliu snorted coldly.
After a long time, Zhao Qingliu picked up the needle unwillingly, hmph, Lu Yue, don't think that the maid in your courtyard can do needlework, I, Zhao Qingliu, will do it, and when the old lady sees you and me doing it, whose congratulatory gift is attentive, the old lady naturally understands in her heart.
When the time comes..... When Zhao Qingliu thought of this, the look in his eyes was dyed with pride, and the haze on his face instantly dissipated.
In the early morning, the sky was just gray and bright, and there was no one on the street.
The maids and maids in the entire Qin Wangfu all set off, cleaning up what should be cleaned, hanging lanterns and hanging lanterns, and all the maids and maids are working in an orderly manner.
It didn't take long for a crackling firecracker sound, and the Qin Wangfu opened the main entrance, a pair of flaming red lanterns were hung at the door, and the little guy at the door was even more dressed in new clothes, with a happy face.
Many ordinary people stopped and looked at the Qin Palace, "Hey, isn't this Qin prince already married to the princess?" Why does it still look like there is a happy event today? ”
The person who was pulled turned around and said angrily: "Today is the birthday of the little prince of the Qin Palace~"
"Oh~" A few people had such expressions on their faces.
"Get out of the way~" a voice sounded.
A few people turned around, only to see a few carriages pulling goods towards this side, the "hoo" stopped the carriage, the people of the Qin Wangfu saw it and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, and ordered people to carry things in.
Waiting for these people to enter, the crowd remembered again, "Hey, isn't that the head of Lichun Garden?" ”
Only then did everyone react and whispered, "I didn't expect this little prince Qin to celebrate his birthday, and even invited the best opera troupe in Tianfu City, Li Chunyuan." ”
The crowd was talking and talking.
——
Cheonggye-do
Lu'er thought that today was different from the past after all, so she painted a particularly bright peach blossom makeup for Lu Yue, and when Lu Yue saw it, she immediately felt that this color was simply too gorgeous, so she wanted to reach out and wipe it off.
Frightened, Lu'er hurriedly pulled, and prayed: "Miss, you can pity poor Lu'er, this makeup Lu'er has been painted for a long time, and my hands are sour~"
Lu Yue angrily scratched Lu'er's nose and directly acquiesced.
Immediately, the girl Lu'er praised Lu Yue, "Miss, don't worry, this makeup is reflected on Miss's face, it looks good." ”
In the end, Lu Yue didn't erase this makeup, because there was not enough time.
She hurriedly changed into a pink and white lotus-sleeved shirt, and went to greet Mrs. Qin.
Old Madam Qin's courtyard was already very lively, even Qin Mufeng didn't go to the court today, dressed in snow-white brocade, with gold thread embroidery on it, the whole person was in the wind, his expression was faint, and he couldn't see his joy or anger.
Qin Zixuan finally became a little childish, and he stuck to Old Madam Qin to speak, and that Zhao Qingliu ......
Lu Yue subconsciously glanced down at the clothes on her body, it was so dangerous, she looked at the color was about the same, but the color of the fabric looked far behind.
Zhao Qingliu saw Lu Yue, and the smile on his face immediately froze on his lips.
"I've seen my mother, Lord Wang~" Lu Yue saluted Old Madam Qin and Qin Mufeng.
"Get up~" The smile on the corner of Old Madam Qin's mouth was full, and she was not angry because Lu Yue was late, it seems that today is really a good day.
