Chapter 77: Meet Xie Chi
Embroidering a purse is a very fast thing, not to mention that Du Yunnuan and Xie Zhiqing's embroidery patterns are very simple, in the evening, Du Yunnuan bit off the last thread, and then picked up the purse in his hand and looked at it carefully, the stitches are basically neat, and the chicks on the purse are also cute, basically achieving their goals.
And Xie Zhiqing's duckling is almost not finished.
Xie Zhiqing had the heart to compare with Du Yunnuan, and hurriedly said, "Aunt Ruan, I want to finish embroidering this little duck before eating." ”
Du Yunnuan also said, "Okay, I'll accompany you." ”
Finally, when it was dark, Xie Zhiqing received the last shot.
Aunt Ruan picked up the purse of the two, "The purse that you two have embroidered for a day is also tired, I will go back to you to call the purse on this purse, and I will give it to you tomorrow morning, and you will send it out, okay?" ”
Xie Zhiqing shook her head, "Then Aunt Ruan, you can't tell Uncle Zhang." ”
Aunt Ruan and the maid Huang Guo next to her both pursed their lips and smiled, but Du Yunnuan solved Xie Zhiqing's doubts, "When I went to Uncle Zhang in the morning to ask for embroidery thread and fabric, I said that I was going to embroider a purse for Uncle Zhang." ”
Xie Zhiqing thought for a while, "That's not possible, Sister Du, I'm your sister, you should also send me a purse." ”
"And what do you want? I said in advance that I couldn't embroider if it was too complicated, so my mother taught me two stitches. ”
Aunt Ruan's heart moved when she heard this, it turned out that this Du girl's embroidery was learned from her mother, so she didn't know who her mother was.
"No, how can it be that I want to do tricks myself, you send me something, of course you think about it yourself."
Du Yunnuan thought for a while, "Then what if you don't like it?" ”
"No, I like whatever Sister Du gives me."
Hearing this, Du Yunnuan couldn't help laughing, and thought about what kind of pattern to embroider for Xie Zhiqing, but her craftsmanship was not good, and she was afraid that it would not look good at that time.
Finally finished embroidering the purse, the maid hurriedly brought the rice, two bowls of japonica rice, eight-treasure duck, cold celery and fried tofu, and a loofah egg soup, dinner was very simple, but it was much better than what Du Yunnuan ate at Du's house.
It's just that Du Yunnuan eats but misses the wild vegetables and budding rice in the Du family.
Soon she put away this thought and concentrated on eating.
After eating, she and Xie Zhiqing went back to their rooms to wash and sleep.
The next morning, when Du Yunnuan was about to embroider a purse for Xie Zhiqing, she saw Xie Zhiqing wearing a cool summer coat and jumped up the steps, "Sister Du, let's go to the county seat today, okay?" ”
As he spoke, he also handed the chicken purse to Du Yunnuan's hand.
Du Yunnuan took the purse and found that the purse had been tied with a kin made of light blue and gray silk threads, although it looked a little immature, it was not ugly.
"Why do you suddenly want to go to the prefecture?"
Xie Zhiqing sighed like a little adult, "I have lived in this manor for three years, and my brother usually does not allow me to go to the county to play casually, but I asked him when he came back yesterday, and he said that if I want to play in the past two days, he is free to accompany me." ”
"I told my brother that I had a new sister and wanted to take my sister to the county town to see it, and my brother agreed."
"So Sister Du, you won't dismantle my platform, will you?"
Du Yunnuan couldn't help but think of Du Yunlan when she heard this, presumably Xie Chi Xie Caizi also loved her sister like her brother.
"Okay, then let's go to the county to play today, so that the purse I gave you will be made later."
Xie Zhiqing only hesitated for a moment before waving her hand and said, "It's okay, you do it slowly, I'm not in a hurry." ”
Before leaving, Du Yunnuan ran to find Uncle Zhang, and then gave the purse to Uncle Zhang, and thanked Uncle Zhang very solemnly, "Thank you, Uncle Zhang." ”
Uncle Zhang took the purse with a smile, and couldn't help but reach out and touch the little mustache on Du Yunnuan's head, "Then I'll thank Miss Du, if you go to the county today, you must pay attention to safety." ”
"I see, thank you Uncle Zhang." Then Du Yunnuan went to meet Xie Zhiqing.
She walked to the door with Ah Yuan, and saw Xie Zhiqing standing with a man in a light blue muslin robe.
Xie Zhiqing saw Du Yunnuan, so she beckoned to her, "Brother, this is Du Yunnuan Sister Du." ”
"Sister Du, this is my brother!"
"I've seen Gongzi Xie!" Du Yunnuan saluted Xie Chi.
Xie Chi's eyes moved slightly, a little girl from the countryside, but her saluting movements were so standard, and she was neither humble nor arrogant?
The little girl Yan Tingfeng got back is a little interesting.
However, his face remained unchanged, and he said lightly, "I'm Xie Chi, you and my sister are friends, and you are a guest invited back by my cousin, if you don't mind, follow Zhiqing to call me brother." ”
Du Yunnuan moved, didn't the rumors all say that Xie Caizi has a lonely and arrogant personality, and he is talented and amazing? How do you look so peaceful?
Of course, Du Yunnuan thought that she was a little girl who didn't know anything, and it was better not to turn so many corners in her brain, and she was kind at the moment, "Brother Xie is good." ”
Xie Chi raised his eyebrows and put away the fan in his hand, "Let's get in the car when we get here." ”
Xie Zhiqing and Du Yunnuan climbed into the carriage with the help of the maid, and Xie Chi himself turned over and got on the horse.
"Sister Xie, why is Brother Xie wearing a robe?"
Xie Zhiqing's eyes widened, "Sister Du, you are so amazing, I recognized it at first glance as a Taoist robe, I couldn't recognize it when my brother wore it for the first time, and later someone asked me in front of me if my brother was going to become a monk, and I realized that it was a Taoist robe." ”
Du Yunnuan secretly regretted in her heart, she had lived in the Taoist temple for ten years before, and she was not too familiar with the Taoist robe, so she didn't expect that ordinary people might not know that this was the Taoist robe, so she asked without thinking about it, and it seems that no matter what she says in the future, she will have to go through it three times in her head, so as not to cause trouble from her mouth.
"I have seen a Taoist priest in our village, this year there is not much rain in our village, several nearby villages are united to invite Taoist priests to come back to ask for rain, I see that they are wearing such clothes, asked my mother, my mother said this is a Taoist robe."
"Oh, I see." Xie Zhiqing suddenly realized, and soon her attention shifted to other places, "Then is your village rich?" I have heard that a Taoist priest should ask for rain and ask for a lot of silver. ”
Du Yunnuan was stunned, and she shook her head, "I don't know, but there shouldn't be many rich people in our village, most of them are similar to my family." ”
Xie Zhiqing looked at Du Yunnuan with a pair of beautiful apricot eyes, obviously waiting for Du Yunnuan to say what her home was like.
When he heard Du Yunnuan say that their family couldn't eat meat once a month, he suddenly showed a distressed look on his face, "Then Sister Du, you just stay at our house and don't go back, okay?" Our family has meat to eat every day. ”
Du Yunnuan shook his head firmly, "I'm sorry, Sister Xie." ”
