Chapter 8 Grandmother Returns Home Everyone reminisces
Shu Manyin didn't know that her actions had attracted the attention of Wei Chidu, she had been locking herself in the yard for embroidery these days, Lilac and Comfrey were stunned by the rapid improvement of her young lady's embroidery skills, the two had been by Shu Manyin's side for many years, and naturally knew that her young lady had always been unconcerned about embroidery.
Since she was a child, Shu Manyin was most afraid of taking embroidery classes, and then she was barely able to embroider something, but she often embroidered mandarin ducks into ducks, and after many times, Mrs. couldn't help but shake her head. But now when they see Miss's embroidery, the two of them are not only dumbfounded, but where does this embroidery seem to be made by a person who is not good at embroidery, which is afraid that it cannot be done without decades of skills.
"When did Miss learn embroidery, this is also so beautiful?" Lilac is even more puzzled, these days Miss is either running out, or resting in the sun, when did she take the embroidery thread?
"You, there's so much you don't know." Seeing Shu Manyin smiling and silent, Zicao couldn't help but tease Lilac.
"Miss is really amazing, could it be that I learned it in my dream, why can't I learn it?" Lilac said dissatisfiedly.
Seeing her cuteness, Shu Manyin couldn't help but find Lilac's happiness: "You, if you sleep more, you will be almost as white as Xiaobai in the backyard." "Xiaobai is a stray dog, Shu Manyin used to see it pitiful and brought it back to the house, and has been kept in the backyard, which has delicious food, and someone takes care of it, which is getting fatter and fatter.
Lilac was startled and hurriedly rubbed her face with her hands, which made the other two laugh.
"Grandmother will go home in a few days, I have to hurry up to finish the embroidery in my hand, if anyone asks anything, you will say that I prepared a three-flower glazed horse for my grandmother as a gift." Shu Manyin was bent on pressuring Shu Fangyin, so she instructed the two girls not to show the news for the time being.
"Yes, miss." Lilac only wanted to surprise the old lady in front of the young lady, and didn't think much about it, but the comfrey smelled something, and her own young lady seemed to be deliberately hiding herself.
Shu Manyin looked at the embroidery in her hand, it was indeed the best grade, she listened to the words of the two girls, but no one knew what she had paid for this embroidery.
In her previous life, because she was married to a prince, the wedding dress was embroidered by herself, but she had always been bad at these, and she was embarrassed for a long time.
Later, she entered the palace, but was not favored, the queen's bedroom was like a cold palace, she had nothing to do all day, so she wanted to do something to pass the time, so she learned embroidery, and wanted to win the favor of Wei Chi asked, but if the man doesn't like you, no matter how hard you try, it is not like, but fortunately, the embroidery craft is thoroughly learned, not only that, she can also change the pattern of embroidery.
In the following days, Shu Manyin only devoted herself to the embroidery, and the two girls who saw it were distressed, and they both changed their ways to relieve the boredom of the young lady and make some food.
The closer the old lady returned to the house, the more uncertain Shu Fangyin's heart became, she was confident that her embroidery was first-class, but there was no movement in the east courtyard during this time, which made her very uneasy.
"Red apricots." She called her personal maid: "What gifts has my sister prepared these days?" It's so tight, you go and find out. ”
"Yes, miss." After Hongxing went down, Mama Tian said, "Second Miss is worried about what's wrong with the eldest lady?" ”
"Mama, she doesn't step out of the door these days, and she doesn't go out of the second door, I always feel that she is holding back something bad." Shu Fangyin looked at the Bodhisattva statue in her hand, this Bodhisattva statue was embroidered by her with countless painstaking efforts, naturally she wanted to offer it after the old lady returned home, she could win the old lady's blue eyes, and with the help of her grandmother, it would not be her mother's turn to make decisions about her marriage in the future.
"The second lady is right to be careful, but the eldest lady has never been good at embroidery, so she must not be humiliated." Mama Tian comforted Shu Fangyin.
After a while, Hong Xing hurriedly ran in: "Miss, I inquired, I heard the girl who swept in the yard of the eldest lady said that the eldest lady is going to give the colorful glass horse as a gift to the old lady." ”
"Colorful glass horses? That's fine" Shu Fangyin was happy when she heard that it was a dead thing, and her face couldn't help but have some disdain and a smug smile. knew that sister would only use these dead things, and it was true, so I was worried in vain.
After having such a news, she was not in a hurry, and felt that her embroidery was still a little unfinished, so she sat down and completed her Bodhisattva statue.
"Miss, Hong Xing came over just now, and I talked to Sprinkle Sweep and went back." As Shu Manyin's personal big girl, Zicao is in her eyes.
"Well, if it's out of the way, just keep an eye on it." Nianxin is the new girl this time, not long ago, her mother picked some girls for herself and Shu Fangyin, and her warning words have been said in front, and the next thing is to observe.
Zicao nodded, sat down next to the eldest lady, and looked at the ten thousand Buddha pictures in the eldest lady's hand: "The eldest lady's embroidery is so beautiful." ”
Looking at the girl's shining eyes, Shu Manyin pursed her lips and smiled: "This embroidery is divided into many kinds, this Ten Thousand Buddha is a combination of Suzhou embroidery, Hunan embroidery, Guangdong embroidery, Shu embroidery, Long embroidery, each faction is divided into many types, so ah, this Ten Thousand Buddha Picture is a small Buddha character with 10,000 different embroidery methods, combined into a large Buddha character, and uses the double-sided embroidery method of Suzhou embroidery, there are many doorways in it." ”
"Miss is really amazing, we haven't even heard of it, Miss is so brilliant in embroidery, Miss is not a god?" Comfrey has great respect for her own young lady.
"Is this mouth smeared with honey?" Shu Manyin smiled and poked the little girl's forehead with her green fingers.
The days passed in a flash, and soon the day for the old grandmother to return to the house also came, together with Shu Zhenyuan, who had been outside, also returned to the house, Shu Manyin got up early, and after freshening up, she came to the front yard to wait with her mother, and soon Aunt Feng also came over with Shu Fangyin.
After saluting each other, Aunt Feng consciously retreated behind her mother, Shu Manyin saw all this in her eyes, at this time, Aunt Feng looked at every step of the way, never refused to exceed half a point, if it wasn't for her true nature, she would really be a strong opponent who is good at disguise.
Shu Fangyin has also been carefully dressed up, wearing a pink skirt with a moon-white jacket, which undoubtedly reveals the delicate beauty of her little daughter, but when she meets Shu Manyin, she is immediately dwarfed. Shu Manyin only wore a green lotus-colored skirt with a water-colored gown, but she forced Shu Fangyin down.
This lotus-colored dress is very difficult to control, if you don't wear it well, it will look old-fashioned, but at this time, Shu Manyin is wearing it, but it is not obvious at all, but it is like a lotus flower that is not stained by mud, which makes people feel afraid. She had a majesty on her, not only did she not cover her clothes, but she also did not cover the color of her clothes, but it seemed to merge into one.
Shu Fangyin secretly hated in her heart, but she couldn't.
Not long after, Shu Zhenyuan, who was riding a horse, came into everyone's sight, followed by the old lady's sedan chair. Shu Zhenyuan looked at the people waiting in front of his house, obviously in a very good mood, and pulled the reins of his horse and sped up.
"The master is back." Zhou took a group of old and young people to give Shu Zhen a long salute.
"Haha, ma'am, please." Shu Zhenyuan hurriedly dismounted and helped Zhou up, and then faced everyone: "Get up." ”
"How hard is it to go this way, master?" Zhou was also very happy to see Shu Zhenyuan come back, Shu Zhenyuan looked around and saw Shu Manyin on the side: "Man'er, is your body good?" ”
"Back to Daddy's words, Man'er is fine." Shu Manyin replied with a smile.
"That's good, you scared my dad out of the water this time." Although Shu Zhenyuan said that he was decisive on the battlefield, he was a daughter slave inside, especially for Shu Manyin, this daughter came in his expectation, and after she was born, she also rode on his shoulder and helped her walk, so naturally her feelings were even heavier.
Sometimes Shu Manyin thinks about how brainless she was in her previous life, and a good hand of cards was tossed and ruined by herself, and she really doesn't blame others for bullying herself.
"Daddy." Shu Fangyin on the side also hurriedly stepped forward to salute Shu Zhenyuan.
"Fang'er is here too, okay." Shu Zhenyuan looked at Shu Fangyin from afar, and said, "Wait a minute, the old lady has also arrived." ”
After waiting for a while, the old lady's sedan chair also stopped at the gate of the house, Zhou hurriedly stepped forward to lift the curtain, helped the old lady's hand to get off the sedan chair, and said to the old lady with a smile: "Mother, how hard is this feasible?" ”
"Where will it be hard, eat well and live well along the way." The old lady was still very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, and patted Zhou's hand: "It's you, it's hard to take care of this big family." ”
"Where my mother says, this is my daughter-in-law's duty, and where can I talk about hard work." Zhou pursed his lips and helped the old lady up the steps, and everyone hurriedly saluted: "I've seen the old lady." ”
"Okay, all up." The old lady nodded, smiled and asked everyone to get up, and let Zhou help him go to her yard.
Walking to the old lady's courtyard, Zhou, Aunt Feng, Shu Fangyin, and Shu Manyin gave the old lady a salute again.
"Girl Man, I heard that you fell into the water not long ago and got a cold, but now you are okay?" The old lady looked at her granddaughter lovingly.
"Back to my grandmother's words, now it's all right, my granddaughter is ashamed, and my grandmother is worried." Speaking of Yingying, she is dignified and generous, elegant and decent.
The old lady nodded with satisfaction, and then turned to Shu Fangyin: "I heard that the second girl also fell into the water?" ”
"If I go back to my grandmother, I'm fine, my sister fell into the water and scared me, and now my sister is fine, so I'm naturally fine."
"That's good, you are all the children of my Shu family, you have to be careful in everything in the future." The old lady nodded.
