Chapter 66: Night Talk

When Qin Lie came again, Xiao Dong asked him about the flower brocade.

"Blossom brocade?" Qin Lie was stunned: "I wanted to get you a few horses, but my manpower hasn't come back yet, you know, I brought it along with your letter to Zhao Zhi, and I didn't come back." Are you sure it was sent by someone from all over the world? ”

"yes, that's right."

Qin Lie suddenly smiled: "I know-"

"If it's not you, who could it be?"

"My mother."

"Huh?"

"Except for my mother, no one else can send those people. Besides, over there with Poyi, my mother is more familiar. Even if it were me, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get these few flowers. ”

It turned out to be a blessing to the future mother-in-law.

Xiao Dong was a little apprehensive in his heart, and a little sweet, leaning against the window and saying, "That...... Thank you for me...... Aunt. ”

Qin Lie laughed outside: "It's still called aunt?" Well, and that's it, I'm going to have to change my tune anyway. It's good to make a skirt and a shawl with a brocade, you can cut it, come back and dress it beautifully, you go and thank her in person. ”

Of course, you have to see - if you become a relative in the future, you will have to give tea to your mother-in-law.

"By the way, the house is almost finished, the garden is being renovated, and the flowers you mentioned last time have been moved."

Xiao Dong said softly: "Don't spend too much money. ”

Qin Lie snorted, and said: "It didn't cost me money, everything was procured by the prince, and the manpower, there were those in the inner government and those who were in prison, I just ran back and forth, and I couldn't make the money." From our house to the palace, it is only half an hour to walk, and it is faster to take the car, and it will be convenient for you to come and go in the future. ”

"Well, I know, that's what my father said."

Xiao Dong thought for a while and whispered: "The weather is so bad, don't come again, every time you drench like a chicken in soup." When the weather is fine, you can come again. ”

"I know, it's not raining much today, and it didn't rain when I came, besides, my cloak is rain-free, don't be afraid."

The words that should be said were almost the same, Qin Lie was still reluctant to leave immediately, standing outside the window, the raindrops flowed along the tile ditch and fell from the eaves.

"So, I'm leaving?"

Xiao Dong hummed softly in the window.

She was also a little reluctant, listening to the silence outside for a long time, guessing that Qin Lie had already left, she gently opened a window to look out, but she didn't want to face Qin Lie directly.

"Huh?" Xiao Dong bit his lip and looked back nervously: "Aren't you leaving?" ”

Qin Lie finally saw her appearance, Xiao Dong's face seemed to have lost some weight, and it was more beautiful and beautiful. His hair was combed into a bun and hung down on his shoulders, a pair of pearl pendants were worn on his ears, and his face was not powdered, and his face seemed to be shocked and disgusted, and he was indescribably cute.

Qin Lie's hand wanted to stretch forward, but Xiao Dong hurriedly covered the window: "You go quickly, let people see it." ”

"Okay, I'm really going this time."

Everyone in the room gathered around the brocade of flowers and praised it, and Master Wu sighed and shook his head while looking at it carefully.

"Master Wu, what's wrong?"

"Things are good things, but unfortunately, just looking at it like this, I don't know how people weave it for a year. It would be nice if you met someone who knew how to do it and asked for advice. ”

Hongfu smiled and said: "You also said, no one in our Central Plains can weave this, do you want to go to Poyi to find someone to ask for advice?" ”

"Alas, even if I can still go in this life, I'm afraid I won't be able to ask. There are many famous embroiderers in our Great Xia Dynasty, but almost all of them are self-cherished, and some of the box pressing stunts can't even be learned by apprentices. Let's take my master as an example, when I had a flying needle ability, I planned to teach her daughter only, but unfortunately her daughter was not this material, and later passed it on to her daughter-in-law, so I didn't have the blessing to learn. After coming and going like this, many of the skills of the predecessors were lost......"

The others interjected, and Hong Shao said, "Then Master Wu, you can take in a few more good apprentices and pass on your skills." ”

"I would like to, too, but good apprentices are not so easy to meet. Some can't endure hardship, and some are obedient but don't open their minds. There are also those who are willing to endure hardships and have clever minds, but they often teach apprentices to starve their masters to death, and such things are not uncommon. ”

Hongfu asked, "Could it be that you have met it?" ”

"Although I have never met such an apprentice, but I have such a sister, I have to turn around and bite you after learning your skills......" Master Wu said half a sentence and did not say anything down, and the people in the room did not ask any more.

There is no real Tai Ping Sheng in the palace, even in a place like the Needlework Bureau.

Xiao Dong's hand gently stroked the flower brocade, and the tentacles felt soft and silky, and it must be very beautiful to wear it as a skirt.

The rain stopped for a while after dinner, and Xiao Dong accompanied King An for a walk in the garden. The gravel road was washed smooth by the rain, and the air was filled with a fresh smell, the smell of damp earth, the smell of leaves, the smell of rain, the fragrance of flowers, quiet and quiet.

"Father."

"Huh?"

Xiao Dong lowered his head, a little embarrassed: "The matter over there in the new house, father...... Don't spend too much. ”

An Wang smiled and asked, "You know everything?" ”

Qin Lie secretly came to see her, and he couldn't hide it from King An.

An Wang patted the back of her hand: "It doesn't matter. I'm just a daughter like you, I don't spend it now, when will I spend it? ”

"My brother hasn't married my sister-in-law yet......"

"Your brother's temperament still needs to be sharpened, and I don't want him to marry early. Besides, your brother is an ambitious man, and he doesn't care about this little bit of family background in the house. If he wants to have the ability, why does he need all this floating wealth? It's different when a daughter gets married, she has a dowry, she will live more comfortably in the future, and she has the confidence to speak, but she doesn't need to look at people's faces. ”

"Who dares to show me a look."

"Well, that's right." King An was serious: "If Qin Lie's kid dares to snub you, let your brother beat him again." ”

Xiao Dong burst out laughing: "He definitely wouldn't dare." ”

The rain drifted up again, and fell on the face coldly, and gradually it became more and more intense. King An asked people to carry lanterns and umbrellas to send Xiaodong back first. After blowing some cold wind, Xiao Dong was poured a big bowl of ginger soup by Hu's knot, and his stomach was hot, and he couldn't sleep well in the middle of the night.

Xiao Dong heard a faint voice in his dream. When she opened her eyes, it was still dark in the room, and it was not yet dawn.

I slept a little longer during the afternoon nap, and I was sweating a little more. She turned over, and one of the voices outside was Hongfu, but the other was not very familiar, anyway, it was not Hongjing.

Xiao Dong remembered that this voice should be Hongshao, and she also entered the mansion with Hongfu.

The two talked a few words, and Hong Shao said, "By the way, sister, I heard that ......" Her voice was already small, and she lowered it lower: "The lady in front of her actually took advantage of the chaos to elope with someone, is it true?" ”

Mrs. Ming? Didn't she disappear in the last unrest?

Xiao Dong pricked up his ears, and only heard a few words intermittently.

Hongfu reprimanded her: "Don't talk nonsense, those things are not something we can discuss, you don't want to die?" ”

Elope? Mrs. Ming?

Wasn't she killed by the rebels? How can it be a doujin elopement?

"By the way, I listened to what you said during the day, what does that mean...... Do you want to learn a craft from Master Wu? ”

Hongshao snorted: "I'm not as capable as my sister, and I'm not as careful as Sister Hongjing." If you want to say that although a few of us in this courtyard are brought in, but I am the most cowardly, I think, if I can study hard with Master Wu, even if I am not as good as her, I will always be able to eat in the future. ”

"But Master Wu is not from our house, she was pointed out by the Queen Mother, and I am afraid that she will have to go back to the palace in the future. If you want to learn from her, first, the time is too tight, and second, Master Wu is willing to teach you that. ”

"yes, that's what I thought."

"You see, some of the people who served the county lord in front of us returned home with grace in the mansion and gave them silver. Some of them are married, and now they are all doing well. You don't have to worry too much about this. The county lord is a rare good person, and he will not treat us badly. You don't have to think about it, besides, there is Mama Hu. ”

"Mother Hu is definitely going to go over with the county lord, so it's hard for us to talk about it. If you are not old at this age, but if you say that you are not small, you can just follow the past, and how many more days can you serve? But if you don't go over......"

"Have you all been thinking about this for the past few days? No wonder all of them are a little unwilling. ”

"I don't have anything to think about, I don't have anyone left in my family. Sister, you still have parents, brothers, and a home. In the future, no matter what you say, there will still be a concern and a dependence. If we return home, my sister can go back, but we don't have a home, where can we go? If the government arranges for marriage...... I'm not good-looking, can I marry well? ”

Hongfu sighed: "Don't do your best, how many people are not as good as ours." Usually when everyone talks about it, which girl in the house was sold again, or was killed, isn't it all a matter of the master's words? The county lord treats people so kindly, compared to those people, we are lucky many times more......"

They said a few more words, and then they were silent again.

Xiao Dong didn't feel sleepy at all.

Mrs. Ming eloped with someone, is it true, or is there a rumor?

Xiao Dong felt that elopement was unlikely. First of all, Mrs. Ming has not gone out in the house for many years, and she can't see outsiders, what chance can she have with others? Besides, at that time, the chaotic army was like a hungry wolf, and there was a lot of chaos in the house, and even the housekeeper Fuhai was seriously injured, even if Mrs. Ming wanted to run, where would she run? Can the rebels let her run? Even if she really wanted to elope, she had to run out.

Hongfu and the others are worried about their future fate - Xiao Dong knows that the Hu family must have arrangements for them. It is impossible for all the people in her yard to be taken away, depending on the meaning of the Hu family, Hongfu and Hongjing must be brought over, and the others Xiaodong are not sure. King An's Mansion has always been gentle with his subordinates, and Hongying, who served Xiaodong earlier, married the steward of the grange, and now has two sons, and life is very prosperous. and Hongaya, they were all picked up by their families, and they all sent a sum of money, so it is not a problem to find a small business to get married.

If Hong Peony really wants to learn from Master Wu, Xiao Dong is willing to help her. It is not safe to give gold or silver, and if she learns a trade, it is much better than giving her gold and silver.
