Chapter 356: Surrender
At the time of parting, Zhou Zhengzheng wanted to give Lin Zhongchao a gift, which could not only be practical, but also allow the gift to relieve the pain of lovesickness.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Zhengzheng finally decided to make a helmet cover for Lin Zhongchao.
All year round, danger is everywhere. Although Zhou Zhengzheng believes that Lin Zhongchao has the ability to protect himself, as a woman, Zhou Zhengzheng still wants to give Lin Zhongchao more safety, at least, an extra blessing for safety.
And this helmet cover is the carrier of Zhou Zhengzheng's blessing, and Zhou Zheng also hopes that after wearing this helmet cover, Lin Zhongchao can always be safe and sound.
Time was pressing, and Zhou Zhengzheng took out all the things he had prepared before.
All kinds of colorful silk threads almost fill the table.
There are more than a dozen needles, large and small.
In order to be able to concentrate on making the helmet cover, Zhou Zhengzheng locked himself in his room for a whole day.
The brocade silk used to make the helmet cover is a beige material, which is as smooth as silk to the touch, and Zhou Zheng first used the technique of locking the sleeves to lock the four sides of the brocade silk, so that Lin Zhongchao will not be easy to take off the line in the process of using it in the future.
After that, Zhou Zhengzheng began to create the most important content.
On weekdays, most of the embroidered peonies or dragons and phoenixes, Zhou Zheng felt that it was not suitable, and after thinking about it, Zhou Zheng finally decided to embroider a pair of male and female peacock patterns.
The peacock has always been a symbol of civilization, and Zhou Zheng also hopes that Lin Zhongchao can fight less and be more peaceful.
And embroidering the male and female to the peacock, the meaning of the words is already clear on the paper.
Zhou Zheng Zheng uses the stitch method of flat embroidery, quickly shuttles back and forth on the brocade silk, and the lifelike peacock is shown on the brocade silk little by little.
The slender colored feathers, the proud neck, the sharp beak, and the characteristics of the peacock were moved to the brocade silk by Zhou Zheng like a painting, and if it were not for superb skills, it would not have reached this realm.
Because of the rich colors to be embroidered, Zhou Zheng also used more than ten color threads.
Often, if you embroider a dozen stitches of one color thread, you have to change it to another color thread.
A complete embroidery often takes three to five days to complete.
But there was only one day left for Zhou Zhengzheng.
With the passage of time, the embroidery on the brocade silk has gradually become richer.
Against a green background, a female peacock with a bent neck appears first, seemingly arranging her feathers with her beak, and looks very quiet and very feminine.
Then, the sky gradually darkened, Zhou Zheng's right hand was also swinging back and forth quickly, and the other male peacock gradually became clear, it was a peacock with a straight neck, looking upward, full of spirit.
When Zhou Zheng embroidered the last stitch, the sky outside the window was already completely dark.
At this time, Zhou Zhengzheng's eyes were already red.
Zhou Zhengzheng didn't have time to rest, so he sent this exquisite helmet cover to Lin Zhongchao's hand as soon as possible.
And when Lin Zhongchao saw the slightly haggard Zhou Zheng, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
"For you," Zhou Zhengzheng handed the helmet cover to Lin Zhongchao's hand with both hands, and put the side embroidered with peacocks facing up.
Lin Zhongchao saw this embroidered picture and understood everything.
"Ah Zheng, I will take good care of it." Lin Zhongchao held Zhou Zheng's hand and held it tightly.
Zhou Zhengzheng nodded, but his smiling face couldn't hide some moist eyes.
The candle flame flickered, and the tears in Zhou Zhengzheng's eyes were also illuminated.
Zhou Zhengzheng and Zhou Jinxuan returned to the capital.
Before Emperor Qingfeng summoned him, Zhou Jinxuan planned to meet Emperor Qingfeng first.
"Father, aren't we going back home first?" Zhou Zhengzheng said worriedly.
Zhou Jinxuan shook his head, "If you go back to the house first, it will not show enough respect for the emperor, I was ordered by the emperor to go out of the city, and now when I return to Beijing, I should be the first to meet the emperor." Ah Zheng, you go home first to report your mother's safety. ”
After separating from Zhou Jinxuan, Zhou Zheng was escorted by soldiers to ride a carriage on the street in autumn.
The streets are full of people, and the air is filled with the smell of chestnuts. For children, sweet chestnuts are much better than rice. It's just that adults don't want their children to eat indiscriminately, lest they can't eat dinner again.
Zhou Zhengzheng wore a thin tassel butterfly wearing a floral hookah skirt, and several blue butterflies were embroidered with colored threads at the skirt, which was particularly eye-catching. On the upper body, it is a light shirt, which is simple but very good-looking.
Suddenly, a man stopped the carriage.
Zhou Zhengzheng opened the curtain and saw that it was Du Jianbo.
"Du Gongzi has something to say, why don't you come to the Duke of Wu Mansion to say?" Zhou Zheng is generous and authentic.
Du Jianbo said with a smile: "Miss Zhou is a girl, and it is inconvenient for me to find a home like this, so there is a letter here, and Miss Zhou will take it and reply to me." ”
The soldier took the letter, Zhou Zhengzheng nodded, and Du Jianbo left.
Wu Guogong Mansion. A piece of autumn color, the golden leaves look golden in the sunlight, and it seems to be a piece of gold. On the ground, the dead leaves were stained with the blackness of the earth, and some of them had begun to rot.
When Zhou Zheng came back, Lin Yu set up a banquet to wash the dust for his daughter, and there were many people who blamed his daughter for saying goodbye.
Zhou Zhengzheng promised Lin Yu that no matter what time he would leave in the future, he would tell Lin Yu before leaving, and he would not say goodbye again.
Back in the room, Narcissus brought chrysanthemum tea, and Qingyun steamed peach blossom cakes, all of which Zhou Zheng liked.
"As soon as the girl leaves, we don't know how much we miss her." Qingyun and Narcissus' eyes were red, "The girl has to take us wherever she goes." lest the slave and maid worry about the girl. ”
"Alright, alright, am I fine? You all want to cry one by one, are you not happy to see me come back? Zhou Zhengzheng drank chrysanthemum tea while eating peach blossom cakes, said. The familiar smell reassured her.
It's better to go home and rest assured. In those days in the wild, if she hadn't found a place to live and didn't meet bad people, life would not have been so easy.
"It's too late for the slaves to be happy." Narcissus rubbed Zhou Zheng's legs.
Zhou Zheng said: "What about listening to the piano? ”
"I'm still serving at the third master's place." Qingyun said, "Why did the girl suddenly think of her?" ”
Zhou Zhengzheng said: "You will let her come over later, and she must keep it secret, don't let others know." ”
Qingyun hurriedly left.
Then Zhou Zhengzheng looked at Du Jianbo's letter.
Narcissus is cleaning up the room.
Du Jianbo said in the letter that he had found Monk Dayuan and could help her get rid of Lin Feng.
Zhou Zhengzheng put the letter on the fire candle and burned it, his eyes watched the ashes scatter little by little, and the corners of his mouth smiled.
Du Jianbo is representing Lin Junsheng's sincerity.
