Hey, hey, hey, Qi Maosheng, Qi Maosheng... Gu Xiyan was interested: "Then why didn't it work out later?" ”

Liu Mei'er sighed and said with deep feelings: "Fortunately, it didn't happen, otherwise it might be my eldest sister who died!" ”

Poor Maosheng, what a terrible thing to say!

Liu Mei'er's low voice lowered a few points: "Grandpa Guo, there are a lot of strange hobbies!" ”

Strange... Hobby?

Gu Xiyan also lowered her voice and learned her tone: "Really? ”

Liu Mei'er nodded mysteriously: "Do you know, just a few days before my sister was about to settle with Grandpa Guo, Grandpa Guo suddenly took my sister to the dense forest behind Chengxi Courtyard..."

"Ahh Gu Xiyan's heart was beating in a panic, and she remembered Qi Maosheng's skillful flirtatious technique.

Could it be that he is so young...

"He whistled, and two tigers came out of the woods..."

Gu Xiyan's face turned red, and he was ashamed.

How can you ...

Liu Mei'er's voice was nervous: "And it's two white tigers." They jumped up and lunged at my sister. As she spoke, she also made a gesture of baring her teeth and dancing her claws. My sister said that at that time, she fainted as soon as her legs went limp. ”

In your own home, whistle and two white tigers appear!

Gu Xiyan thought for a moment: "Could it be that he raised a tiger?" ”

"You're so smart." Liu Mei'er showed an appreciative look, "It's not strange that you say it's strange, I've only heard of someone raising cats, dogs and birds, and it's the first time I've heard of someone raising tigers, and they keep them in their own yards." I'm not afraid that they will suddenly pop out and eat people. ”

"It's really a..."Gu Xiyan was a little speechless, and it took a long time to find a word. Strange hobbies. ”

Liu Mei'er sighed abruptly: "The eldest sister was so frightened that she lay in bed for more than half a year, and she almost lost half of her life." No matter what, I don't want to marry into the Yanguo Mansion... This marriage is naturally yellow. ”

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but resent it.

If the eldest sister hadn't done this, she would have married Qi Hao smoothly. And how can he suffer this reproach himself?

"But can't you just say that Mrs. Ye can't stand Grandpa Guo, so she committed suicide by jumping into the river?" Gu Xiyan was puzzled.

"Then it's another thing!" Liu Mei'er was mysterious, but there was the sound of footsteps outside the door.

The two turned around, only to see Qiu Gui struggling to bring in a wicker suitcase.

Of course, I can't talk about it.

Gu Xiyan hurriedly set up a hand on the kang and put the box on the side of the kang.

Liu Mei'er opened the box, which was full of things in surprise.

There are bandages for embroidery, colorful silk threads, and many other patterns that have been drawn on various colors of silk.

Liu Mei'er pointed to the box and said, "Sister Gu, look at what you like." Pick one! ”

In order to respect Liu Mei'er, Gu Xiyan didn't touch those things. just smiled and said to her: "Sister Liu is an expert, a beginner like me, you can watch and help me pick one." ”

Liu Meier picked up for a long time, and found a palm-sized true red silk cloth, on which the peony blossom was painted.

"Sister Gu looks good at this, just embroidering a handkerchief."

Gu Xiyan said embarrassedly: "This." Isn't it too difficult? ”

Liu Mei'er smiled embarrassedly, looked in the wicker box for a long time, and finally said abruptly: "It seems that this is the smallest." Otherwise, I'll draw you a simple one! ”

Gu Xiyan nodded hurriedly: "That's the best." ”

Liu Mei'er saw that she respected her decision very much, and her eyes became more kind when she looked at Gu Xiyan.

"What does Sister Gu want to embroider?"

Gu Xiyan's face was slightly red. said: "Can you embroider a purse?" ”

"Purse!" Liu Meier groaned.

Gu Xiyan hurriedly explained: "The purse is small. There are also not many colors, it is simpler. ”

"How can a purse be simple?" Liu Mei'er looks like you don't understand. "The hardest thing to embroider is the purse. It must be tight, the color is elegant, and there are many techniques..."

Gu Xiyan was stunned: "So, it's complicated..."

Liu Meier said: "Otherwise, we will embroider a separate one!" Gu Xiyan thought for a while and said, "Is it okay to sew a purse?" It doesn't have to be embroidery! ”

Liu Mei'er smiled: "How can there be anything that doesn't embroider on the purse." ”

"Or, embroider a few leaves or something." Gu Xiyan came up with an idea, "I'm good at this!" ”

Liu Mei'er still objected, but Gui Qiu pulled the corner of her clothes on the side: "Girl, you might as well listen to Miss Gu's thoughts." ”

Liu Mei showed a rare stubbornness: "There must be embroidery on the purse, otherwise it can still be called a purse!" ”

Gui Qiu was anxious, he was really afraid that the two would quarrel because of this. Wasn't the bad relationship between my own girl and Miss Wei also caused by embroidery?

Gu Xiyan understood very well.

There is a kind of person who usually seems to be easy-going and even has no temper, but when it comes to the areas she values, she will show a stubborn side. It's like a person who likes football, and when he talks about his love for the Earth, he is constantly trying to maintain the indestructible land.

"You are an expert, so naturally you have the final say." Gu Xiyan smiled, "Where do you think I should start learning, let's start learning!" ”

Liu Mei'er showed a comfortable smile: "Okay, you learn to embroider branches first." ”

Gu Xiyan had no objection.

Liu Meier found a piece of white silk in the wicker box, took a thick black thing like a pencil, and drew several branches of different shapes on it. It can be seen that her painting skills are very good, and she is easy to hook up, and she is wonderful. The black thing is also easier to color than a pencil, but the color is a little lighter, probably for drawing things on silk.

After she finished painting, she began to explain to Gu Xiyan in detail. What kind of branches should be matched with what thickness of embroidery needles, and how kind of embroidery needles should be suitable for what kind of embroidery methods. How to embroider and what are the characteristics of each... It is simpler than when Mama Zhao taught her, and it is not the same. In the end, Gu Xiyan had no choice but to stop her: "You wait, I'll find a pen and ink to write it down." I don't understand most of what you're saying. ”

The corners of Liu Meier's mouth curled slightly. showed a beautiful and elegant smile, revealing a few confidences, making her graceful and gorgeous face more radiant.

Qiu Gui was also very happy.

I think Gu Xiyan is really good, saying that he wants to learn embroidery from the girl, he really wants to learn embroidery, and he treats people very sincerely.

Gu Xiyan took the opportunity to send Qiu Gui to the outer room to polish the ink.

In ancient times, writing was not as easy as it is now, and an ink could grind for half an hour.

She took the opportunity to continue the preface with Liu Meier.

"Is Yan Guogong really as terrible as you say?"

Liu Mei'er also felt uncomfortable being interrupted by Qiu Gui, and Gu Xiyan asked, as if she had finally picked it up in one breath. She leaned over to Gu Xiyan's ear and said, "You don't know, Mrs. Ye hasn't been married for long. Grandpa Guo took her to the horse farm at the mouth of the old river... You can imagine the results. ”

Gu Xiyan really couldn't think of it: "Go to the horse farm, what happened again?" ”

Liu Mei'er nodded very seriously: "Most of our women in the north can ride horses, and Mrs. Ye is from Xizhao, where do you understand this, but the grandfather of the country taught Mrs. Ye to ride a horse, and Mrs. Ye was scared half to death." And he was frightened by the horse, and the child was gone... Because of this, Aunt Gao of the Yanguo Mansion was demoted to Chunli and never returned to Yongzhou. ”

Gu Xiyan was angry.

How so!

Qi Maosheng is not such a reckless person.

She thought of Qi Hongluan and said, "I heard that Grandpa Guo has only one daughter, it seems to be called Hongluan..."

Liu Mei'er was not very interested: "She was raised by Mrs. Xu all her life. I'm six years old. I haven't seen it once. ”

Gu Xiyan was a little surprised.

Listening to Liu Mei'er's tone, it seems that she often goes to the Yanguo Mansion. How could he not have seen Qi Hongluan.

She said suspiciously, "You haven't seen it once." ”

Liu Mei'er nodded, and there was an indelible embarrassment in her eyes: "Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Xu are both from Xizhao, and they have always been close to each other. ”

There is a lot of content in the words.

"But I've seen Biluan and Ziluan of the third master's family, and the two little girls look so good." Liu Mei'er smiled, "Especially Ziluan, who is white and fat, laughs when he sees people, shouts when he sees people, and gives me a plum blossom jade card when I went last time." ”

I haven't seen Qi Hongluan, but I have a good relationship with Qi Xiao's daughter...

Liu Meier also sighed: "It would be nice if Grandpa Guo had a few more heirs under his knees." It was not easy for Mrs. Ye to get pregnant, so the child was gone, and Aunt Gao was also implicated. But I heard my mother say that this matter has nothing to do with Aunt Gao at all, it was because the grandmothers around Mrs. Ye did not tell Aunt Gao about Mrs. Ye's pregnancy... So everybody doesn't know. ”

Aunt Gao, this name appears twice.

Liu Meier was still sad for Ye Zisu: "Mrs. Ye is such a gentle and shy person, she is pregnant, so she is naturally embarrassed to tell others... It's all those grandmothers, you don't know, the grandmother who was in charge of Dexin Courtyard at that time was still the nurse brought by Mrs. Ye from Xizhao. Speaking of this, Liu Meier thought of her parents, and she couldn't help but feel down. I feel that I am the same as Mrs. Ye, I believe in the wrong person. "Mrs. Ye didn't know what kind of sadness she was at that time? Especially later, her body was no longer suitable for conceiving children, and Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Wei both complained about her..."

"It's no longer suitable to conceive a child? Who did you listen to her about such a secret thing? Gu Xiyan was a little unconvinced. When she was in Qixiaguan, she also heard Fang Shaoqing say with her own ears that Ye Shisu had just miscarried...

"It was Aunt Gao who told my mother." Liu Mei'er's tone was full of unwavering conviction, as if Aunt Gao's words could not be doubted.

Aunt Gao again.

Gu Xiyan couldn't help frowning: "Who is Aunt Gao?" ”

Liu Mei'er was still a little uncomfortable in her heart, but when she heard Gu Xiyan ask about Aunt Gao, she still had an unconcealable smile on her face: "He is the head of the inner courtyard of the Yanguo Mansion, and he is a very good person." When I was a child, I once followed my mother to see my aunt and broke a jade carved lotus pen in my aunt's house. I still remember how she looked, tall, skinny, always with a kind smile on her face... It's a pity that we haven't seen Aunt Gao since that incident. ”
