Chapter Fifty-Eight: Su Curtain Loses His Father
After sending away the two Fujin, Su Lian only felt that his mouth and tongue were dry, so he drank another cup of Chuanbei Sydney pear soup.
Orr, seeing that Xiao Lingzi instructed the two new-faced little eunuchs to carry a screen upβthe double-sided embroidered screen that Shu Shen embroidered and opened by Tilian was given to Sibeile by Xiao Yangyang on his own initiative, Su Lian felt that this inner hall was a little less graceful, so he ordered the sewing room to embroider a new screen.
This is a medium-sized rosewood frame embedded with a butterfly luodian screen, the screen surface is made of fine snow silk, embroidered is the pattern of a hundred birds and a phoenix, in addition to the most vivid and gorgeous phoenix, there are also smart larks, cranes with wings, pulsatillas standing in the treetops, and mandarin ducks cruising in pairs...... There are more than a dozen kinds of birds, but they are all phoenixes standing on the craggy and strange stones, and the most brilliant part of this phoenix is the soft feathers of peacocks mixed into the embroidery thread, so the phoenix feathers are particularly eye-catching!
Su Lian nodded secretly when he saw it, and then pointed to the empty place outside the bed in the inner dormitory and said, "Just leave it there!" He also asked Xiao Lingzi to take two pen ingots and Ruyi silver bills to reward the needlework man who embroidered this embroidered screen.
Xiao Lingzi said with a smile: "This Shen Mama, who is good at Suzhou embroidery, is a batch of Suzhou weaving that has just been presented to Beijing in the spring of this year, and the emperor specially asked Liang Gonggong to select a few high-quality ones and give them to Changchun Garden." β
Suzhou embroidery needlework is delicate and elegant, it is indeed loved by her, and she can't help but smile at the corner of her mouth, and she can't help but think about it, and then she said: "Tell those few needlework people from Suzhou to concentrate on embroidering two large screens, which are five feet wide and six feet high, and embroider white-headed wealth and everything is good." β
Xiao Lingzi thought and said: "The five-foot big screen must be not small, but I am afraid that it will take some time." β
Su Lian smiled and took a sip of tea, looked down at the faint and hot tea in the Doucai Eight Jixiang Tea Cup, and said slowly: "Don't worry...... Hui'er will not be out of the cabinet until early spring next year. Shushen has to enter the summer before she can enter the Sibeile Mansion. Tell them to embroider slowly, carefully embroider, and they must take out the ability to take care of the house! β
Xiao Lingzi smiled and said, "The slave understands!" With that, he bowed and retreated.
Su Curtain also asked Luo Yu to bring the list of items in her storeroom. Over the years, her private treasury has been taken care of by Luoyu, and every year Xuan Ye has nothing to do, he stuffs things for her. Where is the governor still the general's dedication, or the Ministry of Internal Affairs is built by the office...... They come from different sources, but they are all rare good things.
After receiving the thick book, Su Lian couldn't help but be surprised: "Do I have so many things?" β
Luo Jue pointed to the other two large books that were held in his hand by the embroidered clothes, and said with a smile: "There are three major books in total, I remember it full." β
Su Lian secretly smacked her tongue, it turned out that she was already a rich woman, so she lowered her head and opened it and watched from the first page. I don't know that when Xuan Ye came over in the evening, she only saw about half of it.
Xuan Ye glanced at the open book and asked, "Why do you look at this thing?" β
Su Curtain moved his sour neck, and said slowly: "Choose something that is not against the rules, and make makeup for Wen Hui and Shushen." "The things here are often carved dragons and phoenixes, and such things cannot be enjoyed by non-royal families. Shushen is going to make a side blessing for the fourth elder brother, and some can be used on the dragon, but there are strict restrictions on the size, number and color of the dragon.
Xuan Ye couldn't help laughing. said: "When Fen'er got married, I didn't see such a heart. β
Su Lian pouted: "Why didn't I care?" Fen'er got marriedβnot to mention the dowry I gave her in private, it was the momentum of the ten princes giving a prince a prince's marriage. It's like no one else! β
Xuan Ye was surprised, when he thought that at the beginning, his sons who were not angry actually went to the pole one by one to get married-just for a horse! What a shame!!
Xuan Ye's eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of the embroidered screen in the most conspicuous place in the inner dormitory, and couldn't help but praise: "This hundred birds and phoenixes are well embroidered, and they are worthy of you, Mrs. β
Su Lian's cheeks were hot when he heard this, and he couldn't help but take a sip, Xuan Ye's mouth was getting older and more unserious! I didn't bother to pay attention to him, lowered my head and continued to look at the ledger. Said to Luo Jue: "Wen Hui believes in Buddhism like her mother, and this antiquity of the former dynasty that carved the Guanyin Heart Sutra scriptures was added to her makeup. This 'Lanting Order' Chengni Yan is given to Shu'er! And the rhino horn cup, I remember a pair of boys herding cows. Give Wen Hui, and give the pair of magnolia cups to Shu'er......"
Xuan Ye suddenly jumped out dissatisfied, and snatched the account book from Su Lian's hand, "These little things are for the people below to consider, I have a first-class big thing to tell Madame!" β
Luo Yu hurriedly stepped forward, took the account book from Xuan Ye's hand, and then Wanfu withdrew.
Su Curtain glared at Xuan Ye's serious old face: "What's the big deal?" β
Xuan Ye suddenly showed a wicked smile, and hugged Su Curtain in his arms: "Husband and wife, isn't it a first-class event?" β
Su Lian smacked hard: "No skin and no shame!" Before dinner, you're just- huh! Alas! Don't rip my clothes, I'm hungry and waiting for dinner! β
"Madam, I'm hungry for my husband......"
Su Lai: I can see it, my eyes are green.
The bed was overturned* between the sheets, and Xuan Ye was gluttonous, so he asked Wei Zhu to come in and wait for him to change his clothes, but Su Curtain was so tired that his fingers didn't bother to move, and finally Xuan Ye brought milk bird's nest to her to eat, and after using it hastily, she fell asleep.
In the early morning of the next day, Su Curtain had breakfast, and when she saw Xuan Ye coming back from the next court, she was instructing Xiao Lingzi to do an errand: "Ma Qinghai, the imperial doctor who was transferred a few years ago, has good medical skills, so he will be fine." β
Xuan Ye couldn't help but wonder and said, "Who is sick?" β
Su Lian pursed his lips: "I'm Amabai!" As he spoke, he couldn't help complaining: "You don't know, he is an old smoking gun, he has been smoking dry tobacco for fifty or sixty years, and now he is old, and he has coughed all winter since the end of last year. β
- Sister-in-law mentioned this matter a month ago, but she didn't say that she wanted to ask for a doctor or anything, and Su Lian heard that Darshan couldn't get out of bed, so she thought about finding a good doctor, anyway, she just moved her mouth to give an order, and it didn't take any trouble.
Xuan Ye also said with a solemn expression: "The cough disease can be big or small, but the disease has been delayed for so long, I am afraid that it must be treated well, otherwise it will leave the root of the disease." β
Su Lian looked unconcerned: "Good people don't live long, and disasters will last for thousands of years, my Ama must be a long-lived!" β
Xuan Ye couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
It's just that this time, Su Lian guessed wrong, Dashan lay in bed this time and stayed up for half a year, until the snow was falling...... Before leaving, he carried his beloved old smoking gun in his coat and a dice in his hand, and went away. After all, I couldn't see the sunshine of Kangxi for forty years.
In fact, Darshan is gone, Su Lian is just a little sentimental, but Xuan Ye looks like he is afraid that she is too sad, and always comes over every once in a while at the beginning of the busiest year to relieve her and accompany her. Although Su Lian felt a little annoyed, he was still a little moved in his heart.
Darshan died, and at Alin's insistence, he was buried in a beautiful way. Alin and Acton have already been on Ding Wei's fold, and Xuan Ye has already agreed. It's not a big deal, it's been the custom through the ages. It's just the marriage of Wen Hui and Shu Shen...... As unmarried granddaughters, they have to give Dashan a year of filial piety. So they both delayed.
Su Lian is glad that Wen Hui Shushen is Xuan Ye's marriage, not to mention keeping filial piety for a year, even if it is three years, the man can only wait obediently! The marriage given by the Holy Decree, don't even think about renouncing the marriage if you die! That's it...... It's okay for Sibeile to be there, Yinzhen is a person with a wife, a concubine and children, not a woman like Shu'er, she must not be in a hurry, and she is also the little grandfather of Deying...... His mother has long been anxious about her son's marriage, and now she has finally given the marriage, but she has to wait one year longer than the scheduled date, and if she can't do it, she will give her son a concubine first.
Speculation about Deyingna's concubine...... was unfortunately guessed by Su Lian.
Na is the show girl who lost last year's draft, a girl surnamed Tanggul, who is only thirteen years old. In addition to the 100 days of filial piety, Meng Jia's family, who came to the Laning Palace, was quite sad, and inevitably complained: "Hui'er only needs to keep for a year, why can't she wait?!" β
Su Lian thought of the day when Xinjun Wang Dezhao took the side of Fujin, and this old side Fujin was the master of opening the door to welcome the entrance of the side room...... This old side Fujin is a person with ideas and more means, and she is not yet forty years old, I am afraid that even if Wen Hui marries, the days of begging for a living under her mother-in-law will not be short.
"I remember, the old side Fujin said that he wouldn't let the concubine be born before the concubine?" Su Lian asked.
Meng Jiashi sighed: "It's me who drilled the horns, and the little grandfather Deying will definitely take a concubine after marriage, so let's do it earlier!" β
Su Lian was stunned for a moment, sister-in-law, you really want to open it! Because of Dashan's death, Acton and Alin have lost their official positions one after another, and the attitude of this old side Fujin is afraid that it has changed a little...... It's just that because of her existence, I don't dare to go too far.
Su Lian couldn't help but secretly decide that the dowries for Wen Hui and Shushen should be sealed more later, and when the time comes, she will not be despised by her in-laws.
After sending away her sister-in-law Meng Jia, Xiao Lingzi came in and reported: "Niangniang, Li Fangfujin of Sibeile Mansion came in with a low sign, saying that he wanted to kowtow to you and say goodbye." β
Su Lian waved his hand and said with a look of boredom: "Just say that I want to keep filial piety for a year, and I won't see any guests during this time." As usual, as a child, she should keep filial piety for three years, but she is a married woman, and according to the etiquette system, she can keep it for one year. Shouxiao - what a good reason to turn away visitors!
This Li family has become more and more tough, since she gave birth to the third elder brother of the fourth Baylor Mansion last summer, and the fourth elder brother is also quite fond of her, she has become more and more active. It's just that Su Curtain is the same as ever, unless Sifujin brings her here, Su Curtain is gone-this can be regarded as giving Sifujin enough dignity. (To be continued)
