Chapter 67: Receiving Disciples

Xiao Dong hadn't told Wu Di about it yet, she thought that she was eavesdropping last night, and she had to talk about it. Unexpectedly, Wu Di came to her first, and she didn't go around in circles, and said her intentions straight to the point.

"I have something I want to ask the county lord for help."

Xiao Dong was stunned, did she know about the red peony? I wonder what she means?

"Master Wu has something to say, if you can help, I will definitely do my best."

Wu Di said: "I don't want to go back to the needlework bureau again. She then explained: "I am already the eldest in the needlework bureau, and my eyesight is gradually failing, and I can't do much work after I go back." Besides, it turned out that the female official of the Shang Palace of the Needlework Bureau was Xu Yumei, and she took care of me. But Xu Yugong was also out of the palace last year, and the newly replaced female official Ji is young, and she has a group of people under her hands, so we old guys naturally have to stand aside......"

It's really sleepy to send a pillow, Xiaodong also wants to ask her to stay in the house to be a teacher, not only to guide herself, but also to teach the girls, in the future they have a skill, whether it is marrying a family or earning their own food, it is always a good thing.

"Then, if Master Wu doesn't return to the palace, what are his plans?"

Wu Di smiled: "I also have a plan, after a few old sisters left the palace, some of them took in a few apprentices and made a small shop by themselves, and their lives were good." I also have some savings, and that's a way to do that. Some were hired to teach boudoir needlework. There are also those who were invited to sit in the town by the big embroidery workshop, although they are not expected to do work, but to say it, there are people who have needlework in the palace here, and the things made are said to be imitations, and the money they get every month is enough to make a living. If the county lord is loved, I will be cheeky to take a few more months of cultivation, and in the future, I also want to accept two apprentices, first, to pass on my kung fu, and secondly, I am also old, and I have taught apprentices, and there will be people to support me in the future. ”

Xiao Dong's heart moved: "What kind of apprentice does Master Wu want to accept?" ”

Wu Di didn't hide it, and said generously: "Don't hide it from the county lord, in the past few months in the mansion, I have also looked at two good seedlings, who are also careful and skillful, which can be regarded as a material that can be made." But as soon as the name was mentioned, Xiao Dong was stunned, Wu Di didn't fancy the red peony who wanted to apprentice, one was red wattle, and the other was a little girl named Bixue outside.

Red Peony is also a clever person, and she is more attentive, why didn't Wu Di take a fancy to her?

Xiao Dong didn't agree immediately, after all, Wu Di was still in the name of the Needlework Bureau, and if she wanted to stay, she had to go and beg for help with the Empress Dowager Shengci. However, with the Empress Dowager Shengci's preference for Xiao Dong, let alone pleasing one person, even five or ten can be pleased.

When others were away, Xiao Dong discussed the matter with the Hu family, told Wu Di's plan, and asked: "Mother Hu, in fact, I see that Hongshao is very attentive in front of Master Wu, but why didn't Master Wu pick her when he wanted to accept an apprentice?" ”

"Well, she also revealed this meaning to me, Master Wu has a lot of experience, and her skills are also proficient, so it's good to keep her. As for Red Peony, she is just too attentive. Hu Shi leaned next to Xiao Dong and touched her hand: "Don't be too rushed, those things are not well embroidered for a while, let a few of them embroider for you, look, there are red threads in your eyes, be careful that Lady Jiang comes back and says you." ”

Xiao Dong smiled: "I didn't rush it, I just embroidered for a while a day." ”

"That's good." Hu Shi nodded, and said, "I don't plan to let you bring this girl Hongshao over." She was born well, she is willing to stammer, and she is motivated, which is not wrong. But she is too utilitarian, and those who can use it can rush hard, and ignore those who don't need it. Master Wu has been honing in the palace for so many years, and a pair of eyes are so old-fashioned that they have been quenched, what she said yesterday, the one who taught the apprentice to starve the master to death, I am afraid that it is a person like Hongshao. I trained the red wattle single-handedly, and it was not surprising that she liked it. Bixue's little girl is usually a stuffy gourd, I don't know how she likes it. ”

Red Peony usually doesn't do close-quarters errands, and Xiao Dong doesn't know her as well as Hongfu and Hongjing. At this time, I heard Hu say this, and Hu Shi probably intended to do so.

"Do you remember Red Aya?"

"Naturally, I remember."

"At that time, I wanted to be like Hongying, and find someone to marry her in the house. But I couldn't stand this girl, and she was already pretending to be a person in her heart, so she was released from the house like everyone else. ”

Xiao Dong was stunned.

The girl who has served the young lady closely, the practice in their house, has never been to marry.

"Who does Red Aya have a crush on?"

Hu Shi smiled slightly, and compared three fingers towards Xiaodong.

"Cousin of the Shen family?"

Not strange, not at all. I remember that earlier, many of the girls in the house were blushing when they saw Shen Jing. But Red Aya was ...... at that time Xiao Dong squinted and thought about it, but he didn't have much impression.

"Why didn't I know at all?"

"The county lord was still young at that time. Besides, if you see it, then it's a big ugly thing. Shen Gongzi has a great future, he came to Beijing to study, if there is something here in us, then the prince can not be good to people. Red Aya was born well, she was a big person, and her heart was a little restless, so she took advantage of it to pass it away together. ”

"How was she doing when she got out?"

Hu Shi didn't care: "She was sixteen years old at the time, and her brother came to pick them up when she let them out, so she must have found a family for her when she went back, right?" It won't be easy to delay any longer. ”

Hu Shi is certainly a bodhisattva in the face of Xiaodong, but he has thunderous means to deal with others. Hong Aya should not have a chance to do anything under Hu's nose, if there is, Hu will not let it go so lightly.

It is said that the red face is troublesome, and this Shen San has also mistaken many people.

said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and after noon, King An returned to the house, and Shen Jing also came back together, Xiao Dong brought tea to King An, and brought another one to Shen Jing. He got up and took it: "Thank you, sister." ”

Xiao Dong was slightly stunned when he saw him with a goldfish bag tied around his waist, and then said with a smile: "Congratulations to my cousin for becoming a knight." ”

Shen Jing's official position is only from the fifth grade, and he should wear a silverfish bag as a rule, but today he has changed it to a goldfish bag, which shows that the emperor's trust in him is extraordinary.

Shen Jing smiled and said, "Sister, just say congratulations?" I'm also counting on trying the good dishes cooked by Sister Winter. ”

There is a way that people are in good spirits when they are happy, looking at Shen Jing's appearance, the day they first returned to the capital was much better, wearing a light green official uniform, wearing a round gauze soft-winged official hat, a long body, and a graceful demeanor. Whether it is the blow of the fifth princess's marriage, or the twists and turns of his own withdrawal, it seems that the influence on him has slowly faded. Xiao Dong pursed his lips and smiled: "Okay, I'll go to the kitchen and give an order, and cook a few of your favorite dishes for my cousin." ”
