Shi Niang took out the picture of Baishou embroidered by Master Jian in her purse and spread it on the table, looked at the work on the embroidery shelf that she had only completed halfway, and sighed softly.

"Miss, should we continue embroidering?" Holly said with some hesitation.

"Of course, keep embroidering." Eleven Niang said with a smile, "Although I am dwarfed by Master Jian in terms of embroidery skills and speed, have you found that the word 'Shou' I embroider now has greatly improved compared to the word 'Shou' that I embroidered at the beginning?" ”

Holly took the lamp, looked at it carefully for a long time, and nodded: "It's different from before, I feel that your needle angle is smoother and finer than before......"

Eleven Niang nodded and smiled: "So, this is also an opportunity to hone your embroidery skills!" ”

Holly smiled and said, "Then Miss go to bed early today - with this picture of longevity embroidered with the help of Master Jian, you will also have something to do when the time comes." ”

During this time, I stared at an inch square day and night, and my eyes hurt a little. No wonder many embroidery girls are blind when they are over thirty years old, this is really an errand to eat youth rice. Like Master Jane, it is a good way out to teach embroidery to the rich and noble, but the requirements for embroidery are also very high......

Eleven Niang thought about it and said with a smile: "Let's go to bed early today, it's the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month." When others go out to party, let's give ourselves a holiday! ”

Holly covered her mouth and smiled, arranged for Zhu Xiang to be on duty at night, and personally served Shi Niang to rest, and then returned to her residence.

After Amber came, Holly and Binju gave her the room near the window, and Amber was also humble, but Holly and Binju were used to living together, and secondly, they were still a little wary of Amber, so they insisted on resigning, and squeezed together with Qiu Ju and Zhuxiang.

When she entered the door, Binju and Qiuju were not sleeping, and they were nesting on Binju's bed to watch the patterns she had saved, discussing what kind of hemming looks good on the threaded skirt of next year's spring dress.

Seeing Holly coming in, Qiu Ju immediately jumped out of bed smartly and greeted her: "Miss is resting!" ”

Holly nodded.

Qiu Ju gave her a wash: "What did Master Jian send to Miss?" ”

Holly smiled: "I just wrote a letter to greet Miss." ”

Qiu Ju's eyes showed envy: "The relationship between Miss and Master Jian is really good!" ”

"That's nature." Holly smiled, "Otherwise, there are so many people who learn from her, why would she only pass on the stunt of 'double-sided embroidery' to our young lady!" ”

Qiu Ju nodded and said, "Sister Holly, you said, if I serve Miss well and let her pass on this stunt to me, will Miss agree?" ”

"I can't say this!" Holly smiled, "However, usually someone in the house comes to ask the female red, and the young lady is also dedicated to helping." If you're really interested, why don't you ask Miss someday! ”

Qiu Ju nodded, and wanted to say something, but Binju on the side had already smiled and said: "It's not early, Sister Holly will serve Miss Embroidery Screen early tomorrow morning, everyone don't say a word, let's rest!" As he spoke, he went to collect the patterns of a bed.

Qiu Ju responded, and the three of them stopped without saying anything.

The next day, Yin Zheng, the sky has not yet a trace of light, Xin's mother and Tang's mother have gotten up, to the small kitchen next to the wing room to boil hot water, Yin Zheng three moments, Eleven Niang got up, Binju served the wash, Qiu Ju has boiled white porridge, Eleven Niang on a plate of bamboo shoots, a plate of sauce king gourd ate a small half bowl of porridge, sat in front of the embroidery frame and began to embroider.

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter outside the window, a little maid came: "Miss Eleven, the eldest lady asked you to go to Zhiyun Hall now." ”

Eleven Niang was stunned.

At this time, what did the eldest lady tell her to do?

I was confused, but I didn't dare to slow down half a minute. Let Holly reward the little maid with a handful of silk candy, go into the house to change her clothes, and she took Amber to the eldest lady.

When she walked under the eaves, she heard Wu Niang's cheerful laughter.

It seems that the eldest lady is in a good mood.

Eleven Niang's heart was slightly settled, and the little maid on the side had already lifted the curtain and said, "Miss Eleven is here!" ”

The people in the house restrained their laughter, and Eleven Niang entered the house.

The eldest lady wore a lilac-colored butterfly grape pattern makeup jacket and sat on the Luohan bed in the hall with a smile, and Wu Niang wore a moon-white bamboo pattern jacket, standing gracefully on the bed like a willow in the wind, the smile on her face had not yet dissipated, and the corners of her mouth and eyebrows were full of joy.

Seeing Eleven Niang coming in, she covered her sleeves and smiled: "Just talking about my sister, my sister is here!" ”

Eleven Niang smiled and stepped forward to salute the eldest lady.

The eldest lady pointed to a brocade beside the bed: "Sit!" ”

Eleven Niang smiled and sat on the brocade.

Wu Niang smiled a little impatiently: "Eleventh sister, mother wants to take us to Yanjing to see the eldest sister." ”

Eleven Niang looked at the eldest lady in surprise.

The eldest lady was very satisfied with Shi Niang's surprise, and nodded with a smile: "A few years ago, your eldest sister sent my grandmother to greet me." said that your grandfather and mother have passed away, if the eldest lord is in Yanjing, and your eldest brother is ready to study in the country, take this opportunity to let me also go to Yanjing and reunite with the family. Saying that, the eldest lady sighed, "Speaking of which, since your eldest sister got married, I haven't seen you for more than ten years." Strange thoughts. Hearing her say this, it was really moving. However, your eldest sister was afraid that I would not be able to leave these things at home, so she frequently wrote to urge me to go to Yanjing. As soon as I totaled, it happened to be Mrs. Xu's birthday in April, and it was not bad for me to go to Mrs. Xu's birthday. It's not interesting to think that you go alone, so I want to take the two of you to see and see. ”

The time has finally come......

Eleven Niang's heart calmed down.

"Eleventh sister," Wu Niang smiled all over her face, "we are blessed." ”

Eleven Niang's face showed hesitation, and muttered: "The screen hasn't been embroidered yet......"

The eldest lady smiled, "I was originally going to only give gifts, but now that I have taken you to pay homage to your birthday, the birthday gifts I prepared before are a little shabby." Let's put the screen for the time being! ”

Eleven Niang respectfully replied "yes".

"We'll leave after the New Year." The eldest lady smiled, "You go down and clean up!" If there is anything to add or subtract, let Xu's mother help you buy it. ”

Shi Niang stood up with a smile: "On weekdays, my mother has rewarded a lot, and in my opinion, there is nothing to buy." It's just that I'm thin-eyed, and I want to ask my mother to come to my house to see if there's anything wrong. After all, I went to the eldest sister's house to pay my birthday to the eldest sister's mother-in-law, and I still have to take care of decent things! ”

The eldest lady nodded again and again: "My son, you are right. This is not your business alone, and your eldest sister's decency. As he spoke, he directly called Xu's mother in, "Call the old auspicious shopkeeper and add some head jewelry to the two young ladies." ”

Mother Xu smiled and nodded.

Eleven Niang asked some things to pay attention to when entering Beijing, and saw that Wu Niang was a little impatient on the side, so she got up and said goodbye and went back to Luyun Tower.

As soon as she stepped into the door with her front foot, Wu Xiao's family followed with her back foot.

She also carried a small jar in her hand.

"Miss Eleven, I have something I want to ask for Amber."

Eleven Niang naturally wouldn't stop her, and said with a smile: "If your mother has any instructions, just ask her to do it." ”

"It's nothing else." Wu Xiao's family pointed to the small jar in his hand, "Knowing that you are going to Yanjing, I want Amber to help bring this jar of dregs to the eldest lady's companion Lu Yonggui." ”

Eleven Niang's face was embarrassed: "I don't know how the eldest lady arranged it......"

Before she finished speaking, Wu Xiao's family smiled and said, "The eldest lady took Mother Xu to go, and the affairs of the inner courtyard were entrusted to Mother Yao, and the affairs of the outer courtyard were entrusted to our family." Forsythia was sick, so he stayed at home, and Luoqiao and Coral went to a few places. You and the fifth lady, each with two big maids, two little maids, and two rough mothers-in-law......"

Eleven Niang smiled bitterly in her heart.

There are three big maids in her house, but Amber is the eldest lady's reward, so she has to be brought with her, no wonder Wu Xiao's family came to ask Amber to help bring things.

"In that case, let Amber help you run!" Wu Xiao's family's words have already been said to this point, and if they refuse, they are afraid that Wu Xiao's family will have ideas, "I just don't know how we will find this Lu Yonggui at that time?" You also know that after all, we are women's dependents, and we are visiting Luo's house......"

"Don't worry, Miss, I won't do that foolish thing." Wu Jiaxiao hurriedly smiled, "This Lu Yonggui helps his aunt and grandmother to take charge of the marriage industry, and he usually runs outside a lot and stays less at home." You have to walk for more than 20 days when you arrive in Yanjing, and when you arrive, it will be spring, and he is afraid that he will go out early. You can just let Holly give this to Lu Yonggui's younger brother Lu Yongfu when the time comes. Lu Yonggui's father was the chief steward of the account room, and our family was helped by his old man to take care of him, so the two families were very close. The last time Lu Yonggui went back to Yuhang, he said that he owed this bad fish to eat, and I promised to give him something worse, but Yanjing Mountain is far away, and I have no one to take it. Because you followed, I had this thought. ”

Why are there so many twists and turns......

Eleven Niang smiled: "Then how to find this Lu Yongfu?" ”

Wu Xiao's family smiled: "He is now a small steward in the horse stall of the Yongping Marquis Mansion. There is the outer courtyard. You'll find out when the time comes. ”

Eleven Niang responded with a smile and asked Holly to put things away.

Binju joked with Wu Xiao's family: "If we can't find anyone, we won't return the things." ”

Wu Xiao's family smiled: "The girls just eat." I've got more here. ”

Everyone burst into laughter.

******

In the afternoon, the news that Wu Niang and Eleven Niang were going to accompany the eldest lady to Yanjing spread.

The atmosphere in the eleventh mother's house was a little depressing.

With two big maids, two little maids, and two rough mothers-in-law...... The little maid and the rough mother-in-law are easy to say, who should this big maid take?

Eleven Niang decided to go to the eldest lady.

After all, these words only came from the mouth of Wu Xiao's family...... Even if the eldest lady really had this plan, there was still a chance to fight for a place in her house before she announced it.

After making up her mind, Shi Niang stood up, and the curtain in front of the door was suddenly opened without warning, and Shi Niang's face of disgust and joy appeared in front of Shi Niang's eyes.

"Good, good, good." She walked in slowly with an angry and smiling face, "You can really do it! Go to Yanjing ......"
