After a while, Liucui came back, "Today's Buddha birthday of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the old lady is praying for blessings in the Buddha hall." ”

Because there were no outsiders present, Jin Mei went straight to Ronghua Hall with the box.

The old lady was unable to move, and the eldest lady and the third lady led the three girls and the four girls to be ordered to go to Qinglu Temple to worship the incense, and the Ronghua Hall was indeed very quiet at this time. There are a few kinds of offerings on the table of the eight immortals under the corridor, and the maids and daughters come forward from time to time to add incense and cheer, and their actions are whispered. When Jin Mei arrived at the door of the main room, the old lady was coming out of the Buddhist hall and sitting on the couch drinking the tea made by Liuli.

"The old lady is merciful and kind, and the Bodhisattva will surely grant you good fortune and good health."

As soon as he entered the door, Jin Mei said a blessing. The old lady also smiled, "The Bodhisattva said that all beings are equal, what kind of gift do you have with me?" Jin Mei smiled: "It is true that all beings are equal, but the younger generation is expressing admiration for people who are dedicated to goodness, and I think the Bodhisattva will not blame me." The old lady laughed and said: "'People are about to die, and their words are good', I have lived to this age, and now I am not as hard-hearted as I was back then." ”

Jin Mei smiled and raised the brocade box in his hand a little. "The things I promised the old lady here are already ready, and the old lady wants to take a look at them now?"

The old lady had already raised the tea bowl, but when she heard this, she paused and said to Liuli: "You go down and tell the cook to eat fast today." ”

Liuli understood, retreated with the other two mothers-in-law, and gently closed the door.

The old lady got up with a cane and walked behind the screen: "Come with me." ”

Behind the screen was a small warm pavilion, she sat down in the large chair on the left first, and stretched out her hand to the Jinmei who followed behind: "Take it and I'll see!" The expression on his face was solemn, and he had long since lost his former kindness and kindness.

Jin Mei looked at the left and right furnishings, walked to the right lady couch and opened the box, took out the quilt and shook it off, and spread it on the couch. Suddenly, I saw more than 100 children jumping on it, and there was a faint sound of frolicking between the smarts. The old lady stared at the embroidered quilt with her eyes, as if she was pulled by something, and she didn't even need crutches for a while, so she walked directly to the couch and carefully stroked the silk embroidery above. But when the fingertips fell on it, as if he was afraid of being startled by something, he suddenly bounced a little, and only touched it lightly with his fingertips.

"This embroiderer ...... 'embroidery'! It is indeed 'embroidered in heaven'! The old lady sighed softly, and her voice seemed to come from her abdomen, "I haven't seen it with my own eyes in more than thirty years...... Although it was because of this acupuncture that he formed this marriage with the ancestor of the Ye family, it is hateful that for many years, your grandfather and your father have ruthlessly hidden it in the mansion...... If I had seen it earlier, how could there have been Xue family today? ”

Jin Mei stood aside quietly, looked at her and couldn't hide her excitement, and asked, "What does the old lady mean is that it was because of this embroidery that you proposed to my grandfather for the eldest master?" ”

"Isn't it?" The old lady sighed: "I really loved this embroidery at that time, while ordering the embroidery girls to improve their skills, and on the other hand, I wanted to have more opportunities to get close to Tianyi embroidery. ”

Jin Mei pondered for a while, and then said: "Since the old lady loves Tianyi embroidery so much, why didn't she bring it up to my grandfather at that time?" ”

The old lady is colorful: "Tianyi embroidery is an heirloom skill of Yefu, how can I ask for it?" I still understand the truth that 'a gentleman does not take the favor of others'. Each family has its own housekeeping skills, don't say that your grandfather can't be willing, even if he is willing, I can't make this evil. But I am satisfied with having a 'heavenly embroidery' in my life. It's a pity that your grandfather always refuses to violate the decree of the heavenly family, and is unwilling to flow the embroidery made of 'Tianyi embroidery' into the people, so I save this regret. ”

"So," Jin Mei thought for a moment and said, "If the old lady had gotten a piece of embroidery earlier, what would she do to the Xue family?" ”

"If I had a piece of embroidery at that time, with my cleverness, I would have seen some clues from the embroidery, so as to improve the quality of the embroidery of He's embroidery, and I would have put more effort into excluding the embroidery village outside Ye He's family. If the Xue family wants to enter the ranks of imperial embroidery so smoothly, I am afraid that it will not be so easy. ”

After hearing this, Jin Mei lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then he also looked at the hundred sons together.

This embroidery has been made, "Tianyi embroidery" is like the source of disaster, has made the once prominent Ye Mansion dilapidated and withered, and will soon be available again, and what kind of changes will be set off? Is it a blessing or a curse? Whether she could handle all of this on her own is unknown. The only thing that is clear is that she has to take this step to provoke the vicious and greedy heart of the enemy behind the scenes. It's in dire straits since then, and I can't take care of it.

The old lady sighed for a moment, and personally folded the hundred sons and put them in the brocade box.

"Although I am very reluctant to give up this thing, I have to give it away as a gift. For the sake of Hefu, you have helped a lot this time. If you have any requirements, you can say them now. ”

Jin Mei smiled: "The old lady said that she was joking, but it was just a matter of effort." What's more, there are a total of 18 styles of embroidery, and I only know these two styles, which are far from the level they should be. I don't know if Lord Shangshu likes to see it, how dare he ask the old lady for a reward? As long as the old lady does not dislike me, she drives me out of the house, and lets me serve here with all my heart, I am already grateful. ”

The old lady's eyes were sharp, she wrung her eyebrows and stared at her for a moment, stroked the rosewood table with her palm, and said slowly: "If you don't disobey, how can I easily punish you?!" As long as you remember my words, don't be greedy, and have private contact with the men in my house, and I will not care about you. The Ye Mansion has been defeated, and the He Mansion should be cited as a lesson from the past, and it is best to act carefully, how can he provoke such a crime as you again? You will not be the one my grandchildren are going to marry, I want you to abide by the discipline of the boudoir, but also for your future sake, lest the bamboo basket be empty, and you will not get anything in the end! ”

Jin Mei pinched his palm, and said, "The old lady's mind, the little woman understands." ”

The old lady said: "I have lived to this age, and the last thing I can learn is to take advantage of others." You have done this for me, and I will reward you with something. That day you were promised to eat and clothe as much as you wanted, so it was so. I will explain to the eldest lady that from today onwards, the expenses of Lujiao Xuan do not have to be allocated from the main house, and the monthly money supply of Biluo will be directly deducted here. - The three girls are the only ones who can have this face, I treat you like this now, you should also do it yourself, and teach the three girls carefully for me! ”

"Thank you, old lady. Mei'er must do his best. ”

Jin Mei bent down and got up with a smile.

"Wait!"

Just as she was about to leave, the old lady suddenly called her in a deep voice, looked at her twice, stared at her and said: "You can make the two or three styles in this heavenly clothes embroidery so proficient, it really makes people wonder if you know the whole set of eighteen styles......
