In the past, when she was not out of the cabinet, the Lin family went to Cui's house once or twice during the New Year's Festival, and after getting married, no one took care of her, and she was lazy, but she was rusty. On Mrs. Cui's birthday this year, the Song family must send someone to go, but the Lin family is getting older, and they will feel sleepy from time to time, and it is difficult to move forward.

The Cui family also took this into account, and sent a post to the Lin family and a post to Song Zhi, as long as one of them came.

Lin had just used a bowl of red date fish gelatin soup, and her spirit was not bad, she pinched the post with her fingertips and patted her knees one by one.

"You really don't want your mother to accompany you?" She asked, a little worried.

"No, just stay at home and get some rest. Won't my aunt go too? I'm with her. Song Zhi spoke, and the movements in his hands did not stop, and the silver needles shuttled back and forth on the fast silk.

"You have asked Si Yuntang to make a thick stack of small clothes, why do you still embroider this?" Although Lin said this, he said it with a smile.

"My mother also said that it was a play, and the tricks outside were nothing more than what kind of flowers bloomed, rich and full of reunions, etc., begging for auspiciousness, but it was not interesting." The silk threads used by Song Zhi are all extremely soft, and a bundle of little thumb thickness costs about one tael of silver.

"I saw a few fat dolls riding carp embroidery patterns, which is quite interesting." Lin beckoned to Roucui, and Roucui immediately went to take the belly pocket that Lin said.

Song Zhi glanced at the belly pocket that Lin said, and said with a smile: "This must be embroidered by small bamboo, the scales on this carp are so complicated, and only she has the mental strength." ”

When Lin heard the name Xiaozhu, he felt that the clothes in his hand were inexplicably a little hot, and he hurriedly put it on the soft collapse on the side.

She should have asked, why did this Xiaozhu come to work in Siyun Hall? Why did you get in touch with Song Zhi again? But if this question is asked, it will inevitably pull out another embarrassing thing that you did wrong, so it's better not to ask.

Thinking like this, she said, "You should also go to take a nap to recuperate, and you will always have a party at night." ”

Song Zhi simply inserted the needle into the embroidery bandage, got up and drank the remaining half cup of milk tea, and said to Roucui, "Help me put it away, and I will embroider tomorrow." ”

"Show me, what are you embroidered?" Lin smiled at the corner of his mouth. She looked at Song Zhi's graceful back, and thought, I don't know if this baby is a male or female baby, if it is a female doll, it would be good to be like this sister.

Roucui brought the embroidered bandage to Lin to see, and both of them couldn't help laughing, and Lin sighed: "This is going to raise this mouth in my belly!" ”

The embroidered on it is actually a fruit bowl, which has yellow and clear tangerine, watery grapes, pink and tender peaches, Song Zhi stopped the needle, it is a clear water bead on the grape, it is really heartfelt!

……

Before Song Zhi's feet crossed the threshold, many eyes glanced over from the corner of the curtain lifted under the corridor and behind the pillars. Those girls in green shirts and pink skirts either turned their backs or covered their mouths with fans, but they were always talking about something in detail, Rao is Song Zhi was full of determination, and it was inevitable that he was a little uncomfortable.

Meteor couldn't help but muttered in a low voice, "Why are you so unruly!" ”

Zhuyue smiled and said: "Miss is born beautiful, and she always wants to take a second look." ”

"Childish." Xiao Chen's voice sounded, and it just relieved Song Zhi. Song Zhi turned around and saw Lin Tianqing, who was wearing a begonia crimson lake crepe embroidered skirt, standing beside Xiao Chen.

"Auntie, Sister Qing." Xiao Chen kindly held Song Zhi's hand, and Lin Tianqing stood on the side, but she looked like a daughter from someone else.

Song Zhi hadn't seen Lin Tianqing for a long time, and he couldn't say a few words every time he went to her. After a few trips like this, Song Zhi didn't go much, so why bother to be bored?

At this time, the two looked at each other, both a little embarrassed.

"It's a coincidence, Qing'er, Zhi'er, and the two of you have been dressing more and more similarly recently, both of them are red and red, but the color of this skirt on Zhi'er is more mixed with water color, and the patterns are also rare." Xiao Chen's words were originally a joking gossip, but Lin Tianqing glanced at Song Zhi's flower-style skirt, and only pulled the corners of his mouth far-fetched.

The color of the skirt on Song Zhi's body was inadvertently made by Si Yuntang, but there is no such charm in the future, it can only be said to be unique, and the embroidery pattern is also a rare desert chrysanthemum.

Song Zhi looked down at the hem of his skirt and said with a smile: "Sister, the color of this long dress is bright, and it looks good." ”

Lin Tianqing pursed her lips and didn't say anything.

Xiao Chen also seemed to feel that something was wrong, and said, "Let's find a seat, let's sit together." ”

"Auntie go first." Song Zhi saw Zeng Yunyi not far away standing beside Xie Shi and motioned to her, "I'll go talk to Sister Zeng." ”

Xiao Chen nodded, and as if he suddenly thought of something, he took Lin Tianqing's hand, "Take Qing'er with you, and make a lot of friends." ”

As soon as Song Zhi wanted to nod, he heard Lin Tianqing say coldly, "No need." ”

Xiao Chen said helplessly: "Qing'er, there is no harm in making more friends with girls, right?" A girl who is in tune with a childish child must have a good temperament. ”

Lin Tianqing just lowered her head and didn't speak, Song Zhi and Xiao Chen glanced at each other, and they were a little helpless to each other.

"Miss Qing, what's wrong? The body is good, but the temperament is weird? Meteor's words happened to be what Song Zhi was thinking.

Song Zhi lowered his eyes and said, "There are many people here, don't talk about it anymore." Meteor hurriedly shut up when he heard this.

Zeng Yunyi whispered a few words to Xie Shi, Xie Shi nodded, raised his eyes and smiled at Song Zhi.

Zeng Yunyi walked over and grabbed Song Zhi, "The clothes you sent a few days ago are really beautiful, the tulle is as soft as mist, and you can still find embroidery threads thinner than this yarn, and the embroidered Caixia is also very good-looking." ”

Zeng Yunyi lowered his voice a little embarrassed, and said, "It's just a little transparent, and it can only be worn in the courtyard." ”

"Summer is coming, so it's time to dress cooler." Zeng Yunyi and Song Zhi held hands, as close as sisters.

Xiao Chen looked at their backs, felt a little strange in his heart, and asked Lin Tianqing, "What's wrong with you and childish?" But it's awkward? ”

"My aunt is too worried." Lin Tianqing said lightly, took a cup of tea from the tray in the maid's hand, and looked like she was concentrating on drinking tea and didn't want to say much.

At this time, in the Shouxin Hall, the children and grandchildren of the Cui family stepped forward one by one to give Mrs. Cui a birthday gift and said auspicious words. Old Madam Cui stroked a stalk of mutton fat jade Ruyi presented by Shen Baiyan, only to feel as if she was touching the young woman's tender skin, and her tentacles were extremely warm, I was afraid that there were good things that money could not buy, and it must have taken a lot of effort to find them.

Mrs. Cui looked at her grandson's cold eyebrows, and could vaguely see a little bit of her daughter's peerless demeanor.

After all these years, the pain of losing my daughter has changed from the original heartache of cutting flesh with a sharp knife to the dull pain, like putting your heart on a fire and drying it, and not a drop of excess blood can be baked.

She said to the old servant beside her, "Have you sent the Song family's gift?" ”

Shou Xintang, who was originally a little enthusiastic, suddenly fell silent, and Shen Baiyan raised his eyes to look at Old Madam Cui, with an unclear look in his eyes, and he couldn't tell whether he agreed or disagreed.

Old Madam Cui didn't look at him either, but just waited for the old servant to reply.

"It's delivered." The old servant knew that Mrs. Cui wanted to see the Song family's gift in advance, so she asked her to take it early. "Mrs. Song is so blessed, the month is getting older and it is inconvenient to move around, so it is her daughter-in-law who comes to give gifts to the old lady."

The old servant unfolded the silk with the gift tied with it, and saw a plain scroll inside.

"Yo, it's not serious, huh?" Cui Bingying was the first to hold back, and took the lead in speaking out, with some gloating in her words that could not be concealed. After speaking, he quietly glanced at Shen Baiyan.

Shen Baiyan didn't pay more attention to her because of her words, just stared at the scroll intently.

The old servant unfolded the scroll little by little and displayed it in front of Mrs. Cui's eyes.

From Shen Baiyan's angle, he couldn't see what was on the scroll, nor could he see the expression of Old Madam Cui behind the scroll.

After a while, I only heard Mrs. Cui softly 'um' and said, "This is a thoughtful one!" Not bad! ”

Mrs. Cui has always been picky about things, and the word "good" is already a rare evaluation.

"What is it?" Shen Baiyan's cousin Cui Jie asked with some curiosity.

"A hand-embroidered Heart Sutra of Prajnaparamita." Mrs. Cui was still carefully appreciating the gift brought by Song Zhi.

"Hand embroidered? Such a small thing, how can my grandmother still say that it is good!? Cui Bingying was very unimpressed, her mother Sun hated to block her mouth with her own eyes!

If it was on weekdays, Mrs. Cui was afraid that she would teach this granddaughter a hard lesson, but today was her birthday, and she didn't want to hurt her peace at this moment, so she patiently explained, "Hand embroidered Heart Sutra, both the grace of calligraphy and the delicacy of embroidery skills, these two things are not a little bit worse!" ”

She looked at Shen Baiyan's side, and the old servant took the hand-embroidered Heart Sutra scroll to Shen Baiyan to see.

Shen Baiyan took it, and his fingertips fell on the line of 'Contemplation of Freedom Bodhisattva, when the line of deep Prajnaparamita. 'Glide lightly on.

Shen Baiyan knew that this was her handwriting, and her embroidery was just a little more rigid than her usual handwriting.

"I can't tell what embroidery girl did." Cui Bingying saw the gentle look on Shen Baiyan's face, and her heart was sour, and she couldn't help but say another stab.

"She did it." This is the first thing Shen Baiyan said to Cui Bingying today in addition to saying hello, but it was for Song Zhi to distinguish.

"How do you know?" Mrs. Cui asked with interest.

Shen Baiyan said, "She once saw a handkerchief embroidered on a side when her brother first saw it, and she made it. ”

Hearing such an impeccable answer, Old Madam Cui hooked the corners of her lips.
