As soon as the matter of Liu's employment was over, the eldest lady was also relieved, and the next day she hurriedly followed the order of the old lady to check and instruct the people in each room, and she didn't dare to make a mistake, and even disciplined a group of servants to ban night gambling, and there was less drinking, so they had to cheer up and work on errands. Here is busy ignoring Jinmei and not mentioning it, but there is an old lady who secretly made a deal with Jinmei and remembers her.

When Jin Mei arrived at Ronghua Hall, she saw Jinyu snuggling up to the old lady and coquettish: "Yu'er is not a female celebrity, why did she call her to teach me!" Could it be that Yu'er's craftsmanship is not even as good as hers? The old lady lowered her eyes, stroked her hair and smiled: "As the saying goes, 'art is endless', and it is always good to learn more." Miss Mei's needlework is indeed superior, if you are obedient, grandmother will naturally love you here. ”

Jinyu pouted and buried her head in the old lady's arms.

Jin Mei stood at the door for a long time, and then couldn't help coughing. The girl next to her said, "My cousin is here." Only then did the grandfather and grandson raise their heads.

Walking to the couch, Jin Mei saluted respectfully, and the old lady motioned for her right head to sit down, and said to Jinyu: "You go to the wing room to sit." Waiting for Jinyu to reluctantly go, he said to Jinmei: "Yesterday, I looked at the scarf embroidered by Yu'er, and it looked like two or three points." This kid is willful and naughty, and he can't help you. ”

Jin Mei said: "The old lady is serious, the three girls are smart, if you go on like this, you will not lose more than a month, and you will definitely be able to learn the three-hand acupuncture that the little girl has learned, and when the time comes, it can also add a little color to He's embroidery village." ”

The old lady nodded and remained silent: "There are a total of eighteen embroidery methods in 'Tianyi embroidery', and the girl is three as soon as she makes a move, which shows that she is sincere." Now there is a matter, and the old body also wants to ask the girl to help. ”

Jin Mei pondered for a moment and asked, "I don't know what else is going on with the old lady?" ”

"In a few days, it will be the wedding of the son of the Ministry of Rites, the girl was born in an embroidery household, and I know that our family has a very close relationship with the Ministry of Rites. The palace show girl's clothing business has been robbed by the Xue family, and now that the two families are married, it is not convenient for Mingli to compete with each other, so they have to choose another place to start. On the day of Duanyang, a ceremony will be held in the palace to register the concubines, and then the palace maids will be selected. We can't grab the show costume business, and it would be great if we took down these 240 sets of palace clothes. Yesterday, your uncle and I discussed sending a congratulatory gift to Shangshu Mansion, what kind of treasure has Shangshu Mansion never seen? If you want to stand out, you have to find another way. ”

Jin Mei understood and asked, "Does the old lady mean that she wants to send a pair of chic embroidery?" ”

"You're smart!" The old lady nodded appreciatively: "Which Beijing official mansion has not had a large number of jewels and jade now?" I'm afraid that only this 'embroidery of heavenly clothes' is something that everyone wants to get and is rare. ”

Jin Mei frowned: "The old lady has told the eldest master about part of my 'Tianyi embroidery'?" ”

The old lady shook her head and said, "Don't worry, you are not the one who broke your word, I live to this age, and I can't play tricks with you." It has long been agreed that only you and I will know about this matter, and I will not tell anyone else about it under any circumstances. Now the jade girl's skills are incomplete, even if she has been practicing for another year and a half, she has not been exquisite. What I mean by this is to ask the girl to embroider a bed of 100 quilts for me with 'Tianyi embroidery' and send it to Shangshu Mansion. Outsiders have very few opportunities to see the embroidery of heavenly clothes, and they can pass the test by just choosing another name. ”

Jin Mei was silent when he heard this, he was unwilling to be restrained, and he thought about it for a long time, but he had some activities in secret.

I was trying to spread this stitch to lure the snake out of the hole, but I couldn't find an opportunity. Now in this way, it is a good way to come forward in the name of He Fu and observe by himself. Because he said, "It is not impossible. I happened to embroider a quilt for the eldest young master, and now I have an extra quilt. It's just that 'Tianyi embroidery' was originally dedicated to the palace, will there be trouble in the palace at the time? ”

"Don't worry about this!" The old lady said: "Although the saint has banned Tianyi Embroidery, he has not shown that the world is no longer allowed to use 'Tianyi embroidery', and it is also known that in addition to the Ye family, it is difficult for outsiders to learn this needle method proficiently." Moreover, no matter how good this stitching method is, it is only a few pieces of clothing, and without it, there are still unique skills of each family. Therefore, since the defeat of the Ye family, there have been many people outside who pretend to be 'embroidered clothes' to swagger and deceive, and the court has been arrested a few times, and they have not bothered to pay attention to it. What's more, we are sending each other away this time. ”

"So, it seems like it's foolproof." Jin Mei said to herself.

"Naturally, it doesn't matter." The old lady said, "If you do this for me, I will not do you any wrong." In the future, as soon as you apply the degree, it will all come out of the house. ”

When Jin Mei heard this, she couldn't help but smile and said, "The old lady is so loving, but she doesn't dare to disobey." ”

Bi Luo brought back the sentence instructed by Ye's father, Jin Mei thought about it for many days, and figured out that the Ye family's conviction was caused by "embroidery in heavenly clothes", and it was not necessary to take it out and show it again. Jinmei's original intention was also like this, and he had never used this skill on weekdays, but now that he has no choice but to mention it, it is better to plan and gamble on a big one.

If the guess is right, the person who covets the embroidery of heavenly clothes will show up sooner or later, and she is the only heir of the Ye family at present, and she lives in He Mansion, so she will inevitably be sent to the door automatically.

If you can wait for the rabbit, why not? I was so careful in my heart, but I didn't pay attention to the old lady's robbery like this. When he really returned to the hospital, he ordered Bi Luo to unload the quilt that was originally embroidered with the eldest young master, and put on another one.

I did this for two days, and in the evening of this day, the yellow warbler in the Linglong Garden ran over: "The eldest girl said that she will have a small gathering with her cousin tonight in Jiyunzhai, and the girl should not forget." Bi Luo hurriedly responded: "Remember here, the second girl's birthday, the cousin girl has already ordered, and the lamp will be there when the lamp is held." Huang Ying said, "The eldest girl is now serving in the main courtyard, why don't the girls go there earlier, so that they can enter the garden with the eldest girl?" ”

When Jin Mei heard this, he raised his head and said, "That's it, you go back, I will change my clothes and go to the main courtyard to meet your girl." ”

As soon as Huang Ying left, Bi Luo took two gold bills, a Hunan concubine fan, and wrapped it in brocade silk to prepare a gift. Jin Mei looked at it, took out the gold bill, and replaced it with a coral that was half a foot high. He also held a can of freshly marinated pomelo with honey, and ordered Biluo Liucui to take care of the house, and only took Yimei to the main courtyard.

Since the night of the fight, I said goodbye in Ronghua Hall, but I have never met the eldest lady seriously. Jin Mei knew that Mrs. Da was still angry in her heart, and she didn't bother to talk about it. Here I originally wanted to support Yimei to go and greet the eldest girl first and then carefully go to ask for guilt, but because I learned that the eldest girl happened to talk to my wife in the ear room, so I had to go straight to the ear room.

When he arrived at the porch, Qiu Cheng lifted the curtain and let him in, and saw the mother and daughter sitting and talking across the kang table. Because she heard Jinmei come in, the eldest lady obviously sank her face. Jin Meiwu said to himself: "Mei'er please say goodbye to Mrs. The eldest lady was bored, and Fang turned her face over: "It's not too early or too late, who is it to invite?" ”
