Chapter 173: Stage Fright
The next morning, the sisters of the Su family really brought a generous gift to the door to make amends - the Su family is now in the imperial capital only Ji Guogong and Su Shaoge, Su Shaomo, Su Shaoling, the four people, the others are either Mrs. Ji Guo has passed away, or such as the eldest son of Su in Qingzhou's hometown.
Although Ji Guogong is idle, his qualifications and age are all there, and it is impossible for him to come to the door in person for the little mistake his daughter made.
And Su Shaoge is still hiding in the Zhanchun Pavilion now, so at this moment, only Su Shaoling is escorting her sister here: "Mrs. Song, I'm really sorry!" My sister ......"
"Miss Su Liu didn't mean it!" Song Yixiao didn't plan to care about this matter, but now that the Su family sisters have come to be decent on both sides, she naturally won't hold it, and interrupted with a pleasant face, "What's more, I just changed my clothes, and nothing happened, you guys are out of sight!" β
The Su sisters were relieved when they heard this, but they still sincerely made amends, and asked her about her body with concern, and finally insisted on leaving a gift, and then said goodbye.
"These six young ladies of the Su family are really unique!" After they left, Jin Xun sighed with emotion, "There are such elegant brothers and sisters, but they are still indomitable and reckless. It's not easy! β
When he said this, there was laughter in the hall - Song Yi smiled and glanced at her helplessly: "What's so strange about this?" You have a mother like Zhao's mother staring at her, and my master doesn't like to talk about people's lengths and weaknesses, Qiaoqin They are also steady, and they are not born to like to chew their tongues behind their backs. Child?! β
Jin Xun stuck out his tongue: "The slave knows the mistake!" β
Song Yixiao wanted to teach her a few more words, but the little maid outside walked in and said, "The third master sent someone to the door and sent a message: The Tao has already sent people to Youzhou, but it is unknown whether it can be done!" β
"Youzhou?" There have been a lot of things for the Chinese New Year in the past few days, Song Yixiao almost forgot about it, and only then did she remember that the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom planned to take the risk of asking Jian Limiao for help for the sake of her righteous daughter Pei Yourui - this mission was handed over to Jian Xubai, Song Yixiao didn't go to her uncle with her husband the next day, and thought that her husband didn't say anything after he came back, but things went well, and Jian Limiao didn't decide to take care of it until today?
She sighed and said, "I see." β
Just as she was about to ask the little maid to retreat, the little maid said again: "Madame's Zhai clothes are broken in two embroidery patterns, Sister You asked if she can make it up for you?" β
Song Yi frowned when she heard this: "When did she go to take care of Huanyi again?" β
When she asked this, she was not very happy: did this nurse take her words to heart?
Although it is said that it is necessary to look at Zhao's mother's face, but such a grandmother who has not heard of it, Song Yixiao thinks that it is better to send it out as soon as possible, so as not to break the rules of her backyard, and it is easy to cause a gap between herself and the nurse!
"Mrs. Hui's words, it's like this: Sister You hasn't been to the place of Huanyi recently, it was the person in charge of Huanyi who found that the embroidery was damaged, but she couldn't repair it, thinking that Sister You had a good embroidery job, she went to ask for help, and Sister You asked for help!" The little maid heard her displeasure and hurriedly said, "Sister You said that your embroidery skills are exquisite and unparalleled, so although you have the heart to share your worries, you don't dare to do it without permission!" β
Song Yixiao has only been the wife of Yanguo for a short time, and she only has a set of Zhai clothes given with the decree of the canonization, and she is not as good as making another set to replace - today is the ninth day of the first lunar month, Princess He Yushan will wear it on her birthday, and in a few days on the fifteenth day of the first month, the Lantern Festival will be worn again.
So if there is a problem with Zhai Yi, it must be repaired in time.
It's just that this kind of complicated and gorgeous dress is very labor-intensive when it is made, and it is not easy to repair.
Song Yixiao is a human being in two lifetimes, and even the well-informed Princess Hengshan is amazed by her embroidery skills, so she can naturally do it, but she doesn't want You Qingchun to have this confidence, and she can't help but be surprised when she hears it: "Is she sure?" β
But the little maid hadn't answered yet, but Song Yixiao had already figured it out: "For two lifetimes, the female celebrity of Zhiqin and I were all taught by Mother Zhao. Although the grandmother doesn't spend much time with Zhao's mother, she is the biological mother and daughter, how can she not be pointed out at all? β
Thinking of this, she suddenly lost interest, her eyes flickered for a moment, and then she said lightly: "If she is sure, please ask her to help make up for it!" β
After the little maid went down, Song Yixiao turned her head to look at the courtyard where Zhiqin was placed, her expression changed and she was speechless for a long time.
After Jian Xubai, who had gone out, returned home, she reluctantly collected her mood and conveyed Jian Limiao's message, and asked, "Do you say that Sister Yi will follow her uncle's people back to the imperial capital?" β
"I'm not sure I'm going to eat either!" Jian Xubai frowned and said, "After all, I haven't seen much with Sister Yi, and I don't know if Scholar Pei told Sister Yi before he died about his uncle's friendship with Pei Yuma?" β
Song Yi smiled and said in surprise: "Since my uncle was angry in my mother's mansion for Pei Yuma back then, such a friendship, Sister Yi shouldn't be ignorant, right?" β
"Uncle and Pei have a good relationship, but Scholar Pei doesn't like his uncle very much." Jian Xubai pondered for a while before saying, "That's why the eldest sister will speculate that he will only tell the righteous sister about this past incident when he confesses the aftermath before he dies." If he hadn't said it at the time, or if he didn't have time to say it, most of the righteous sisters wouldn't have known! β
"Isn't there still a steward?" Song Yixiao thought to herself that Jian Limiao was talking like that, and there were still people who didn't like him, which was really strange! On the other hand, he was puzzled, "I look at the age of Steward Pei, I must have seen Pei Juma?" β
This is the old servant who was entrusted by Pei He to the young girl on his deathbed, what Pei Yourui said, Pei Yourui should always believe it, right?
Jian Xubai pinched his eyebrows, and his tone was flat: "After Pei Yuma fell from his horse and died, the rumors that spread were involved in his mother, do you think the people around him can still live?" Not only the people around him, but also many people in the Pei family have been affected - the chief steward Pei is loyal, but he was not serving in the imperial capital Pei Mansion before, and he was transferred back after that battle! β
Song Yixiao was awe-struck and stunned when he heard this, and only after a while did he mutter: "Then I really don't know the result of the trip sent by my uncle!" β
That's all there is to it.
In the evening, You Qingchun brought the repaired Zhai clothes to Song Yi with a smile.
The position of the two broken embroidery patterns is on the skirt, which will be taken to the front, and after You Qingchun points to the place, it is necessary to look carefully to see the clues; If you wear it on your body, as long as you don't say it, others will definitely not find out, which shows her craftsmanship.
"I'm sorry for you!" Song Yixiao put down Zhai Yi with satisfaction, and ordered Jinxun to take the red gold pendant as a reward - You Qingchun resigned a few times with a red face, and was finally stuffed into his sleeve with a smile by Jinxun, so he thanked him and retired.
Song Yixiao asked Jin Xun to put away Zhai Yi: "I'm going to wear it again soon-when the New Year begins, I have to hurry up and make two spare bodies, otherwise there will be such an encounter today, in case it is too late to make up for it and it is too late to wash, but it will be troublesome!" Can't you borrow the eldest sister's clothes every time? β
Today's two embroidery patterns should have been damaged by Su Shaomo when she was struggling in the snow.
Although this situation is not often encountered, it is not reliable to have only one set of clothing that must be worn on such a major occasion.
In fact, after the canonization, she should make one or two sets of spare - but at that time, she had to be busy "lying on the couch to recuperate", and in order to be authentic and credible, she naturally "didn't care" about these trivial matters; After that, I was stumped by the task of teaching my sister-in-law, and I never remembered it; Later, the sister-in-law ran away from home because of the snubbing and temper for her birthday, she was pulled by the eldest sister-in-law to the Zhanchun Pavilion, and lived until nearly Chinese New Year's Eve before returning to the imperial capital, at this time everyone is going to celebrate the New Year, where can you find someone to make clothes?!
If it weren't for the help of the eldest sister-in-law yesterday, Song Yixiao would have finished cleaning up in Pinglan Pavilion, and she would have had to go back to Mingguang Palace in her regular clothes.
Saying that he remembered this, he instructed Jin Xun, "You go to the library to get something, and then send it to the eldest sister with the washed Zhai clothes, and thank the eldest sister on my behalf!" β
Jin Xun had just received the order, but Li Yu came in with a post, and said, "Madam, the Wei family sent a post, saying that the twenty-fourth day of the first lunar month is the birthday of Mrs. Cao, please come to the house to drink birthday wine at that time!" β
"There are really a lot of people who are born in the first month!" Song Yi smiled and said to the left and right, "There are already two of them on the Qianqiu Festival and Princess Yushan, and my mother is the twenty-third of the first month, plus my grandmother, there will already be four people!" β
said to Li Yu, "Put the post on the bookcase, it's late tonight, tomorrow morning you will draw up a gift list together, I will see!" β
It's not the first time she has participated in Mrs. Cao's birthday, but it's different when she went out of the cabinet and when she didn't go out of the cabinet - I used to follow my mother to have a drink and bring one or two embroideries made by myself, that is; Now that I have become a pro, I have to prepare a serious gift.
Fortunately, on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, she and Jian Xubai went to Wei's house to pay New Year's greetings, and they also carefully selected gifts to come to the door at that time - although the birthday gift is different from the New Year's gift, it can also be referred to in terms of value and quantity. Now there is still nearly half a month to go, and although she had forgotten about it before, she will not be in a hurry to prepare.
After explaining this to his subordinates, Song Yixiao took the sugar water handed by Jin Xun and drank it slowly.
Two or three days passed in a blink of an eye.
That night, after returning to the room, Jian Xubai turned over the tea bowl on the table as usual, lifted the teapotβonly poured out a little, then he put it down, looked up at his wife who was sitting in front of the dressing table and unloading the hairpin ring, and his tone could not hide his elation: "Is this tea?" β
Song Yixiao combed the spirit snake bun today, although it is smart and gorgeous, but it is also very troublesome when it is dismantled, this will be carefully smoking a golden hairpin, in order to prevent the hair from being hooked, she can't help but pay full attention, she didn't realize the meaning of her husband's words, and said casually: "Yes! β
Jian Xubai looked at her back and smiled, strode behind her, raised her hand like flying, and picked the beaded flowers and hairpins on his wife's head in an instant!
The movements were so neat and crisp, the speed was so fast, but he hadn't pulled a hair - he suddenly showed such a hand, which made Song Yixiao stunned!
But Jian Xubai didn't care if his wife would be stunned or not, he watched his wife's hair full of green silk pouring down, held a handful and put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed, then laughed out loud, suddenly picked her up, and walked quickly towards the tent!
"Where's the naughty energy when you teased me two days earlier?" At this time, Song Yixiao naturally understood, although she had flirted with her husband several times in the past two days, in the end, she had no personnel, and she couldn't help but have stage fright when it came to the end, but she couldn't say a word of ridicule, she grabbed her husband's sleeve tightly, and even her expression was nervous!
Jian saw it in vain, and after putting her on the couch, he didn't hurry to take the next step, only grabbed her arm, pressed it to the pillow above her head, leaned over and stared into her eyes without blinking-after a while, he noticed that Song Yixiao's whole body was stiff, so he smiled playfully, lowered his head and pecked her eyebrows, and said with a smile, "Why don't you dare to move like wood?" Well? β
