Chapter 58: Embroidered Screen

Mu Tianhe is not rich in this lineage, and there are not many children and grandchildren, so the young master and the girls are divided into independent courtyards. Yun Lin and Yun Xin's courtyard are next to each other, not far from Xiao's Lotus Fragrance Courtyard, Yun Lin lives in Fuliuju, and Yun Xin lives in Langqin Xuan next to her.

Fuliuju and Yunyi's Xiaofeng Garden are one east and one west, with similar patterns, and they are all courtyards like small bridges and flowing water.

When Huaxi arrived at Fuliuju, Yun Lin was not in the house, and Huaxi turned to Rongqinxuan again.

Yun Xin politely invited Huaxi to sit down, "I already know about this." Just now, my grandmother called my sister and me over and gave me special orders. You also know that I have no idea, you say it's okay, I'll just embroider it. As for the picture, my sister said that she would go to the Lanbo Pavilion to ask the third brother, and then talk to the two of us again. You just sit in my room first, and I guess my sister will come back in a short time. ”

"Well, that's bothering the fifth sister." Someone is enthusiastic to take the lead in this matter, but it is easy to worry.

Huaxi talked to Yun Xin for a while, and the maid outside said that the girl had sent someone to find the fifth girl.

"My sister is back, let's go together." Yun Xin called Huaxi, and the two went to Fuliuju next door together.

Huaxi came to Yunlin's house for the first time, contrary to the idyllic and elegant courtyard outside, Yunlin's house was much more gorgeous, one side of the living room was a manta peach carved mahogany stepping bed, one side was a fire kang, the side wall hung a beautiful woman stroked the qin, the sandalwood carved flowers below were several times high with two circle chairs, and the chairs were covered with splendid flower chairs, which were rich and luxurious.

Yun Lin is sitting cross-legged on the kang and comparing several paintings, and on the kang table on the side is a plate of pastel and gold entwined flowers, which contains seasonal fruits.

Seeing that Huaxi and Yun Xin were coming, Yun Lin didn't get up

"Huaxi just came back to ask about the embroidered screen, you weren't there, so she went to my courtyard to sit for a while."

Yun Xin explained to Yun Lin, Yun Lin just nodded casually, and then took the landscape painting on the kang bunk and said, "I just went to the third brother, and there is a picture of the mountains that is just right." At that time, I thought that if this painting was embroidered in four pieces, it would be a scene of its own on a separate screen, and together it would be a whole picture. I just went to the Lotus Fragrance Courtyard to ask my grandmother to look at it, and her old man was also very satisfied, so she set this painting as the base sample. ”

Huaxi glanced at it, and the picture depicted continuous mountains, with a waterfall cascading down on one side, which was a good picture. However, the waterfall is majestic, and it is indeed troublesome to embroider the charm.

Huaxi was thinking in her heart, and Yun Lin spoke, "Huaxi embroidery is good, I see that one of the waterfalls and one along the river will be handed over to your sister." ”

It was expected that this would be the case a long time ago, and Huaxi didn't bother to argue, so she casually responded with the word "good".

Yun Lin saw that Huaxi responded obediently, so she was not embarrassed, and said to Yun Xin: "Fifth sister, you have a good pattern, this time it is another picture, don't bother the two masters, and the sample will be handed over to my sister to describe." "The hardest part is left to Huaxi embroidery, and the painting can no longer be given to her.

Although Yun Xin is an older sister, she has always put Yun Lin first, so she nodded and agreed.

In Huaxi's view, Yun Lin was active in choosing paintings on errands, and when it came time to really start embroidering, it must have been all pushed to Yun Xin, and in the end, she took most of the credit. In the end, it was the two of them who were affected. However, these things can only be turned a blind eye, who is called Yun Lin is the concubine of the Hou Ye. The limelight comes out by itself, and others do the work.

"I wonder how many days my sister will need to draw it? I'll go to the embroidery room first and pick up some silk thread. Huaxi is still concerned about whether the embroidery screen can be completed in time.

Yun Xin looked at the painting for a long time, "It should be able to be drawn in five days, and I will send someone to send it to my sister then." ”

Huaxi smiled and said, "That fifth sister has bothered a lot. Just in the past five days, I have laid out the network and longevity that the old lady explained, so as to save the distraction in the back. ”

"Grandmother told you to call?" Yun Lin glanced at Huaxi.

Huaxi nodded and said, "Yes, the five bats and the longevity wisp are said to be used for the Dragon Boat Festival." ”

Yun Xin smiled, "In the first few years, our sisters lived for a year, and the longevity was given by the Dragon Boat Festival grandmother to the young master and the girls to wear to ward off evil spirits." This year, I should have talked about the seventh sister. I didn't expect my grandmother to hand it over to you. I think it was because you had a lot of things at home when you came last year, and this year you will do it when everyone is familiar. ”

"That's right, it's just right for you to do this job, so that you don't have nothing to do and wander around the house."

Yun Lin spoke stingly, Yun Xin lowered her head and pretended not to hear. Huaxi didn't care, she had long been used to it, Zhiyunlin meant something, and she didn't say anything, took a sip of tea and got up to leave.

Yun Lin saw that she didn't reply and became more and more arrogant, "Well, just after that, the old lady said that the news from the palace was that she would sign up for the draft in April." There has been no draft in the palace for five years, and this time, in addition to filling the queen/palace, the other is that the princes and the world choose concubines. The people who got the news in the capital have already begun to prepare...... My grandmother loved the fourth sister and me. The eldest lady said that I was still young and was not in a hurry at this time....... grandmother said that there was still some time to think about it. However, her old man made me free to learn with the eldest lady, so the things on the embroidery screen bothered you and the fifth sister. ”

Huaxi was stunned, when she saw Yunyi today, she didn't reveal any news. Looking at Yun Xin's face in surprise again, it was obvious that she had just learned the news, and she thought that it had just come from the palace.

Except for himself, he seems to be old enough to be qualified for the draft.

The birthdays of the four girls of the Mu family are close, the fourth girl Yunyi and the fifth girl Yunxin are fifteen this year, with the front and back feet and the flute, and the girl Yunlin and the seventh girl Yunning were both born in May, one year older than Huaxi, and fourteen this year. By the end of the funeral period of April 10, the four girls in the family can get married after the mourning period expires on April 10, and according to Dahua's rules, the four girls in the family can get married after the mourning period expires.

It's just that there are no drafts of four people at a time, at most two. According to age, it is naturally Yunyi and Yunxin. But Yunlin's words just now were a bit contradictory, first saying that she was not suitable for her to go, and then saying that she wanted to learn to give, which meant that she would be in the main room in the future. Since she is the main room, she must want to be the main room of the emperor and the world, so how could she let go of this opportunity.

Huaxi is self-aware, even if he is old enough, he can't do anything about this draft. As for whether Xiao Wu made up her mind because she knew the news in advance, she didn't bother to explore, let alone who the Mu family would let go.

Hua Xi saw Yun Xin secretly lowered her head, not knowing whether she was depressed or had other thoughts. However, Yun Lin said that the old lady still has to think about it, and Yun Xin will definitely be more concerned about the embroidery screen. I have a lot of peace of mind, and I am not afraid that she will be passive and slack off.

Huaxi Fufu, "Since my sister is busy, if there is any problem on the embroidery screen during this time, I will discuss it with the fifth sister." The two sisters still have something to say, if not, Huaxi will go back first. ”

Yun Lin raised the corners of her lips, "Qinghu Shihui met the three girls of Master Qi's family, and somehow she fell in love with my fan, and I was busy drawing the pattern of the fan for her, so I won't give it away." ”

Huaxi turned around and left, and when she was about to go out, she heard Yun Lin say to Yun Xin, "...... This embroidered screen is a birthday gift for King Ping, you have to have a snack, don't be compared to that foxy little man...... I'll also let my mother go and talk to my grandmother, and let you go......."

Huaxi pursed her lips, shrugged helplessly, and went out to return to Qixia Garden.

Five days later, Yun Xin sent someone to send a sample of the painting, which was similar to the original picture, which showed that Yun Xin was attentive. Huaxi accepted it with a smile, put on the frame and supported the embroidery frame, and started embroidering.

On the first day of April, Mu Yunxin and Lu. Although the scene was not as lively as Yun Lin's, it was not bad. Because Yun Yilu was the first and Yun Xin was the last, the Yin family was afraid of losing face, saying that she didn't wait to see the concubine, and she didn't dare to slack off. specially invited her handkerchief to Mrs. Lang of the Ministry of Rites as a guest, the secretary is the second lady Liu, and a girl from the side branch of the same sect is praised, and Yun Xin has a very good personal relationship.

After Yun Xinji's ceremony, it will be the anniversary of the old marquis. Sacrificial sweeping, doing things, many things to prepare, the house is busy, no one notices that Huaxi's birthday has arrived.

Early in the morning of the fifteenth, Huaxi gave Chunying half of the money, and asked her to go to the kitchen to ask for some chicken soup, eggs, spinach and flour, and borrow kitchen utensils and pots and bowls. At the end of the day, Huaxi asked Mu Xi to mash the spinach, mix it into flour, add eggs, water and noodles, and wake up until the evening for later use.

A room of maids except for Mu Xi and Fang Ju helped to do housework and cook some meals before they bought it, and the others were all born in the family, and they knew how to serve people but did not cook on the stove. Huaxi didn't count on them, so she simply rolled the dough by herself and cut it into thin strips. There is a stove for boiling water and warm rice on weekdays, and the pot is sat on it, Huaxi boiled the bottom with chicken soup and water, beat a poached egg, and put salt and green onion in the pot.

Huaxi had a bowl, and the rest was distributed to the maids in the house.

"Spinach noodles, I think you haven't eaten them before, hurry up and eat them while they're hot!" Huaxi looked at everyone with a smile.

The five maids held the bowl of noodles and looked at each other.

Fangju was honest, didn't think much about it, and thanked Huaxi, "The poached egg and the green noodles in the clear soup are very good." It must be delicious when I think about it, but Fang Ju didn't know that noodles could do this. Girl, you know so much! ”

However, Hongliu looked at the egg green face and suddenly remembered something, and asked tentatively: "Girl, is it your birthday today?" ”

"Well, last year's birthday was spent in the mountains, and I ate stewed meat and chicken noodle soup. This year, I have been in the house, and Liu's mother and Lilac are not there, so we are here, and you will eat Shou noodles with me. ”

Huaxi smiled, thinking that she didn't know what Liu's mother and Lilac ate tonight, and they would definitely not be like last year when they couldn't eat a meal of meat for several months.

Fang Ju said stupidly beside her: "When I was born before my head, my mother also cooked a bowl of clear soup noodles, and I couldn't even see the shadow of an egg, where is there a girl who makes this exquisite." Girl, the slave is going to eat. ”

Huaxi smiled and nodded, "Eat, eat, don't dislike it!" ”

Mu Xi lowered his head and didn't speak, holding the noodle bowl in a daze, and only said after a while: "It turns out that the day is not good, so I haven't had a child, and I watched other people's children eat meat noodles...... The slave and maid also complained about their father. When my father and mother went, I thought that even if there was a bowl of vegetable soup, maybe my father and mother would ...... "Later, Mu Xi shed tears and couldn't say a word."

The others also felt uncomfortable when they heard this, and they couldn't speak while holding the bowl.

"Hey! Okay, follow me in the future to make sure you can eat meat noodles on your birthday every year. Your father and mother must be happy to see that you are doing well now. Quick, let's eat, let's celebrate our birthday together today, make a wish and eat, how about tasting my craft?! ”

Huaxi's words infected everyone, everyone smiled, bowed their heads and made wishes, and then sat around and ate noodles happily.
