Rong and Second Lady Qi both turned their heads to look at Xun Qingran. Careful selection is our pursuit, only select what everyone likes, popular books for everyone to present, so stay tuned, don't forget to collect this site
"Old lady, ma'am, in my opinion, it is very appropriate to let my sisters take care of the affairs." Xun Qing said.
"They ......," Second Lady Qi looked at the other side of the room. Qi Wanli and Qi Wanyan were gathering together to discuss needlework.
"They haven't touched this, where would they." Second Lady Qi seemed to feel that something was wrong.
Xun Qingran looked at Rong's family, and said busily: "Mrs. is also worried. However, who will be born with this housekeeper's business? The younger sisters are all smart, and with the old lady and the wife by their side, there will be no mistakes. ”
Rong nodded, "No, you can't learn." They came to take charge of the house, but they were more justified than picking the housekeeper's daughter-in-law. The girls in our family, although pampered, have to learn housework. ”
Seeing what Rong said this, Second Lady Qi also nodded, "What the old lady said is that although the previous girls in our family have never been in charge of affairs, they have also learned this business. Now like this, I simply asked them to take care of it with the dyeing girl, and they can also help the dyeing girl share some of the burden. ”
Saying this, he called Qi Wanli and Qi Wanyan over.
"Don't be afraid of hard work, it will be good for you in the future." Rong commanded.
Qi Wanli's face was happy and she didn't shirk it, but Qi Wanyan was a little sad and stopped talking.
Xun Qingran didn't think much about it, and when she saw Qi Wanli standing beside her, she called Sister Ran softly, knowing that she was grateful to herself for giving her this opportunity.
The girls of the Qi family, with the Rong family on it, usually have excellent food and clothing, and they are also extremely noble, but as far as Xun Qingran observed, no one taught them how to manage housework. Qi Wanli is a good woman, the two are quite compatible, and when they encounter an opportunity, they will naturally want to pull her.
Xun Qingran gestured to Second Lady Qi with his eyes. Qi Wanli is also smart, and immediately walked to the side of the second lady Qi, the wife is long and the wife is too short, and she serves diligently, and the second lady Qi is quite useful.
"Even if you call them two helpers, you must not be lazy. Teach your two sisters well, and they will be grateful to you when they have benefits in the future. Rong said to Xun Qing again.
This is how the matter was settled.
Early the next morning, Xun Qing ran to the meeting hall in front of the New Year's Hall, Qi Wanli had already arrived one step in advance, but Qi Wanyan was nowhere to be seen. Xun Qingran sent someone to invite, and Qi Wanyan's girl came to report, saying that Qi Wanyan was sick and couldn't come.
Xun Qingran couldn't do it, so she took Qi Wanli to handle the affairs one by one, after all, she was worried about Qi Wanyan, and when she left the meeting hall, she and Qi Wanli came to see Qi Wanyan.
Aunt Li was in Qi Wanyan's house, and when she saw Xun Qingran and Qi Wanli coming, she hurriedly got up to greet her. Qi Wanyan was wearing homely clothes and leaning on the bed.
"Why is my body suddenly uncomfortable, I have sent someone to ask for a doctor, and I will come in a while, give the seventh sister a good look."
Xun Qingran sat down at the head of Qi Wanyan's bed and looked at Qi Wanyan carefully.
Qi Wanyan's expression suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, "Sister-in-law bother, I don't get in the way, you don't need to ask for a doctor." ”
Aunt Li personally brought the tea to Xun Qingran, and said with a smile, "The seventh girl has no big deal, just rest." If I missed it today, I will follow the fourth grandmother to the council hall to take care of things, and ask the fourth grandmother to take care of her more. ”
Qi Wanyan received Aunt Li's eyes, and turned her head to look at Qi Wanli as if asking for help.
Xun Qingran was a little puzzled.
"Fourth sister-in-law, I, I'm not uncomfortable, I'm uncomfortable, I, I hate these mundane things the most, it's too late to hide, I want to take care of it, but it can't be done." Qi Wanyan saw that Qi Wanli refused to speak for her, so she simply said.
"The seventh girl said childlike words again, and the fourth grandmother, you should take care of her." Aunt Li said urgently.
Xun Qingran saw that Qi Wanyan didn't seem to be lying, and felt strange in her heart, and was about to open her mouth to persuade her, but Qi Wanyan covered her head with a quilt, no matter what Aunt Li said, she just refused to show her face.
"It's a child's temper." Xun Qingran said with a smile.
Xun Qingran and Qi Wanli came out of the house, and Aunt Li hurriedly followed.
"The seventh girl is young and ignorant, so she has to persuade slowly. Please ask the fourth grandmother to take care of the old lady and the wife. Aunt Li begged.
Xun Qingran nodded. Nowhere else, talk to Qi Wanli about this matter.
"The seventh sister came to me last night and said that she didn't want to take care of things. The seventh sister has always had a strange temper, and she doesn't eat fireworks in the world, so I persuaded her, but she didn't listen. I thought that if I didn't help her, she would come, but who would have thought that she had made up her mind. Qi Wanli said.
“…… The girl's family will always get married, and now study more, so as not to come to someone else's house in the future and be dominated because she is not familiar with housework. Xun Qingran said what she meant.
"Sister Dye thinks about us, I know. I also persuaded my seventh sister in the same way, and she called me cheesy. It's really laughable. Qi Wanli did not hide it in front of Xun Qingran.
Xun Qingran also knew that Qi Wanyan was a little stubborn, and it was not good to be reluctant anymore, so she only discussed with Qi Wanli and slowly persuaded Qi Wanyan.
Xun Qingran only took Qi Wanli to deal with family affairs together, and gradually found that Qi Wanli was not only smart, but also obviously paid more attention to family affairs, and was a very attentive and capable girl. With Qi Wanli's help, Xun Qingran was indeed a lot easier. Xun Qingran intended to delegate power, Qi Wanli did not shirk it, and the second lady of Qi seemed to be quite happy to know it.
Busy and busy, in a blink of an eye, it is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The Qi Mansion has long hired craftsmen to make hundreds of various lanterns, and they have been placed in various places inside and outside the mansion. At dusk, the emperor, the queen mother and the virtuous concubine in the palace gave a lot of rewards, including more than a dozen imperial lanterns. Rong led everyone to receive the reward in the main hall, sent away the eunuch who issued the decree, and lit the lamps up and down the mansion, and the pavilions near and far were like a fairyland on earth.
Everyone made a fuss in the hall outside for a while, so they accompanied Rong to the inner room of the warm pavilion.
The furnishings in Rong's house have been replaced early, and there are four screens alone, such as glass screens, luodian screens, painting screens, embroidered screens, and hanging lanterns given by the palace, just like the same small lamp market.
Rong sat on the collapse and only let everyone enjoy it at will.
"It's the first time I've seen the double-sided embroidery so fascinating, I don't know which skillful embroiderer comes from." Qi Da*'s grandmother stopped in front of the screen with Sister Zhen'er, amazed.
"The old lady's here, it's all good things, I think it's from the palace." Qi Wanli said.
Xun Qingran walked over curiously to see, it turned out to be an embroidered screen with an ivory frame. Such a large screen, framed entirely in ivory, is very rare, and the embroidered screen itself is a set of atlases. The characters on the screen, wearing Taoist robes, gestures, fluttering clothes, quite a bit of fairy wind bones, the accompanying text is even more ......, so familiar.
Isn't this the screen she embroidered, it turned out that she had come here, Xun Qingran thought in her heart.
"The old lady's screen is so peculiar, why don't you usually see the treasures found there?" Xun Qingran asked Rong with a smile.
"The screen was found by the fourth child from nowhere, saying that it is a wonderful method of Taoist health preservation, and that it is practiced every day to ensure longevity. I don't understand that, but this screen is really beautiful. There is also a filial piety of the fourth child, who is usually reluctant to take it out, but today is the Lantern Festival, and it is only taken out to put it on display. ”
"Double-sided embroidery is difficult, and you can only embroider some patterns handed down from predecessors. This has never been seen, and the embroidery is so large, there are pictures and texts, this embroidered screen is not only embroidery, but also can be called calligraphy and painting, I don't know how to be a peerless person? "Qi Da * milk was born in a scholarly background, and she cares more about the calligraphy and painting on the screen than the embroidery.
"I also love this embroidery very much, let the fourth child go to find the embroidery girl, who thought that he couldn't find it, so he had to give up." Yung Road.
"This calligraphy, painting, and embroidery are all the same, and it is not possible to reach this level in three or five years of work. I don't know how much effort it took to embroider this screen, I don't know if it comes from the hand of one person, if it is all from the hand of one person, it is really convincing. "Qi Da * milk said.
The Rong family values it so much, and Qi Da * milk admires it so much, and everyone is naturally even more praised.
The crowd made a fuss until nearly midnight, and then they dispersed.
Xun Qingran returned to Ning Yuanju, took a hot bath, and just changed his clothes, Qi You also came back from outside. On the Shangyuan Festival, the lantern market in the capital was very lively, and the emperor suddenly moved the idea of having fun with the people, and he also wanted to enjoy the lanterns. Qi You, these imperial guards, naturally will not be idle, and they have all been transferred to protect the emperor. I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to come back overnight, but now it's good to be back.
Xun Qingran hurriedly greeted him and took Qi Yu's big coat, "I'm tired, but it's going well." As he spoke, he ordered someone to prepare hot water and let Qi Yu take a bath.
"It's okay, it's fine." Qi Yu said, handed over something in Xun Qingran's hand.
"It's beautiful!" Xun Qingran was amazed, it turned out to be a jade rabbit glazed palace lamp, colorful glaze, Yingluo hanging Su, but the palace lamp is a piece of glazed spliced into a jade rabbit shape, three-dimensional exquisite, delicate and lovely.
"It's better than those given by the palace" Xun Qingran took the palace lamp and looked at it, and couldn't put it down, "The fourth master has such a great ability, where did he get this good thing." ”
Qi You looked at Xun Qingran with a smile and crooked eyebrows, and didn't speak, only stretched out his finger and flicked it lightly on Xun Qingran's forehead, then turned around and went to the cubicle to take a bath.
Xun Qingran rubbed his forehead, put the palace lantern in his hand and played, it is not difficult to make the palace lantern into a jade rabbit shape, the difficult thing is to use glass splicing into a jade rabbit shape, and it can be so lifelike. Such a lamp is naturally rare, and those rewarded by the palace are not as good as this in terms of materials and handiwork, I don't know how Qi Yu got it.
Qi You came out of the shower, hung the palace lamp on the screen, and hugged Xun Qing on the bed, and the two of them were in love (the river crab waved its crab claws and climbed arrogantly, everyone understands).
Xun Qing pillowed Qi You's arm and asked about the embroidered screen in Rong's room.
"The origin of the embroidered screen? I bought it last year when I passed by Yingchuan, and I sent it to Bogu Zhai in a frame and gave it to the old lady. Qi Yu replied, "Do you like that screen very much?" Someone has gone to look for the embroidery girl, but no one has been found. ”
I'm afraid you won't be able to find it, Xun Qingran smiled secretly, "This small one is given to the old lady, where is the big one?" ”
"Big, how do you know there's more?" Qi Yu said.
