Chapter 4 Jiaoyuan

Wu Niang, Eleven Niang and Wu Xiao's whole family went out of the door.

Everyone stood at the door, as if their mood had become relaxed, and the expressions on their faces softened a lot.

Wu Xiao's family smiled and asked the two sisters: "I'll go to our house and bring the size and style of the screen." I just don't know where to find the two young ladies? ”

To make a Baishou embroidery screen, first determine the appearance and size of the embroidery screen, and then write the words to be embroidered by Wu Niang according to the size of the embroidery screen, and the eleventh Niang will choose the fabric and silk thread of the screen, and then you can write with a needle, according to the direction of the warp and weft of the cloth according to the font written by Wu Niang, and start to embroider the screen.

Therefore, at the beginning, it was a matter of Wu Xiao's family and Wu Niang.

Eleven Niang is naturally inconvenient to interfere.

She looked at Wu Niang with a smile.

Wu Niang also knew that she had promised two days in front of the eldest lady, and if there was nothing to hand over to Eleven Niang after two days, in case Eleven Niang couldn't get something by then, it would be all her responsibility.

This is not the time to be polite.

"If my sister doesn't dislike it, why don't you come and sit with me!" She looked at Eleven Niang with a smile, "I'm closer to my mother's place, and I'll go and talk back to my mother later." ”

Wu Niang lives in the Jiaoyuan to the west of the main house, and she doesn't need a cup of tea.

"It's still my sister's thoughtfulness." Eleven Niang smiled, "Then bother my sister!" ”

"My own sister, why should I be so polite, it seems rusty." Wu Niang smiled, "You nest in the house every day to do needlework, except for the eldest wife, you don't move anywhere." It's a distinguished guest that I can't invite, and I wish you would come and bother me every day. ”

Eleven Niang smiled and said, "Then I won't be polite to my sister!" ”

Wu Xiao's family also strongly agreed with Wu Niang's decision: "Since this is the case, then I will go to Miss Wu's Jiaoyuan to reply later." ”

Wu Niang and Eleven Niang nodded: "It's such a cold day, hard work!" ”

"What did the young lady say? It's my job! Wu Xiao's family politely said a few words, and turned around to find his own family.

Eleven Niang instructed Binju on the side: "You go and talk to Holly." Sister Amber by my mother's side will be coming to our house on an errand from now on. Tell her to have someone clean up a place for Sister Amber to rest, and then go to her mother to meet her - see if Sister Amber can help. I still have to go to the fifth sister to wait for Mother Wu's screen. When you spread the word, go to Miss Fifth to find me! ”

Ever since she knew that the eldest lady had pulled the amber out to Eleven Niang, Binju felt that it was not a good taste to scratch her liver and lungs, and she couldn't wait to fly back to Luyun Tower to discuss with Holly what to do. Now Miss Eleven asked her to go back and report to Holly, and she fell into her arms. She replied respectfully with a "yes" and hurried away.

Wu Niang looked at Binju's back, her eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "My sister is really polite!" ”

"After all, it's someone who has served my mother." Eleven Niang smiled gently, "I was wronged when I came there, and we didn't treat others better, I'm afraid that Sister Amber will feel wronged and brush off her mother's kindness in vain!" ”

Wu Niang looked at her deeply, smiled and took her to Jiaoyuan.

Jiaoyuan lives in the west of the main house of the Zhiyun Pavilion, with three rooms and two entrances, with a patio in the middle, and a few banana trees are taller than the house, which was originally called Banana Garden. Later, this became the residence of the eldest lady Luo Yuanniang, and the eldest lady thought that this name was not good, and "banana" was the same as "Jiao", so she changed the name to "Jiaoyuan". After Yuan Niang got married, the eldest lady placed Wu Niang there. In order to respect this sister, Wu Niang left the second small building where Yuan Niang lived, and let people clean it day and night, as if Yuan Niang was at home. I lived in the first small building, made the middle a daily place to sit and feast, made a study in the east, and lived in the west for the little maid and mother-in-law. I live on the second floor with my two big girls, Ziyuan and Ziwei.

Entering the door, Ziwei came up with two little maids.

After seeing each other, Wu Niang and Eleven Niang sat down in separate orders, the little maids served tea, and Ziwei filled the yellow phoenix orange with a crystal plate: "The day before yesterday, the eldest lady rewarded it, Miss Eleven tasted it." ”

"Silly girl," Wu Niang glanced at Shi Niang, "Mrs. rewarded me, and naturally Shi Niang also rewarded Shi Niang." I need you to be courteous. ”

Ziwei pursed her lips and smiled: "Miss Eleven, it's Miss Eleven's, this is our intention." ”

Shi Niang smiled brightly, took an orange and peeled it in her hand: "There are many people there in me, and a few impatiens are like ginseng fruits, and they are gone in the blink of an eye." was in a panic, so Sister Ziwei came out with a plate. It's like a person who doesn't sleep and meets a pillow, which is a good dedication! ”

Her fingers were slender and white. The golden orange peel flies between the fingers, and it is as gorgeous as a bright glow.

Wu Niang's eyes couldn't help but fall on Eleven Niang's face.

The hair is like a crow, the skin is like the first snow, the eyes are like autumn water, and the lips are like a little red...... When did Shi Niang grow so beautiful!

She was in a trance.

The gentle and soothing voice of Eleven Niang sounded in her ears again: "There are a hundred words 'longevity', how can my sister write it?" Do you want to write a big 'longevity' in the middle, and then write ninety-nine small 'longevity' characters on the back? Or are you going to prepare ten 'longevity' characters in each vertical and horizontal row? I thought about it and thought both of these patterns were good. I don't know which one my sister thinks is better? Is there any great idea I can't think of? ”

Wu Niang was shocked and came back to her senses.

No matter how beautiful it is? If you can't marry a good person, you will throw people away in time, but I'm afraid that it will be another situation, which will only make people laugh. But if you want to marry well, you have to nod your head......

She got up with a smile: "Sister come with me." ”

******

Wu Niang's study is very spacious, but there are only two pieces of furniture in the room - one is a large black lacquer painting case near the window. On the case, there was a stack of celebrity stickers, four or five square inkstones, a sea of azure old kiln pens, and no less than a dozen pens of different thicknesses were inserted in a row. The second is a black lacquered chaise longue against the wall, paved with an old and new autumn moire brocade mat. Inevitably, it looks a little deserted.

Eleven Niang rubbed her hands: "Sister doesn't raise a brazier?" What should I do when I practice calligraphy? I can't. If I'm going to embroider, I'm going to have to raise the brazier. As she spoke, she laughed, "However, the place where I live is only as big as my sister's study, and there are often maids and daughters-in-law who ask me to help make needlework, but they don't raise the brazier, huddle together to work, and it's not cold." ”

Wu Niang knew that Eleven Niang was good at embroidery, and the maids and daughters-in-law in the family all loved to find her, either to help embroider something, or to guide the embroiderers. After listening to the joke, he said: "My place is as good as yours!" ”

Eleven Niang smiled a little embarrassedly. pointed to the pen with the thickest barrel in the sea of pens: "When did my sister start writing big characters?" I remember that my sister liked to write hairpins the most. ”

Wu Niang said with a smile: "My sister and I thought of going together - I wanted to write a big 'Shou' character in cursive in the middle, and then write ninety-nine smaller 'Shou' characters in hairpin flower letters next to it......"

Eleven Niang couldn't help but be surprised.

Wu Niang said this, which is equivalent to implying that Eleven Niang has long known what birthday gift the eldest lady wants to give Mrs. Yongping Hou...... How could she know so early, either the eldest lady said it, or someone who knew the eldest lady's thoughts early on and reported to her. If it is the former, it means that she is more favored by the eldest lady than Eleven Niang, and the eldest lady not only told her her plans, but also asked her to prepare in advance, so as not to lose face in her hands when things come; If it is the latter, it means that she has an extraordinary relationship with many decent maids and mothers, and it is not comparable to Eleven Niang!

Either way, it is a naked demonstration!

Before Wu Niang finished speaking, she showed a regretful expression on her face, as if she regretted what she had just said, and said anxiously: "You know me, I usually like calligraphy, and I like to ponder these ...... when I have nothing to do."

There is quite a taste of three hundred taels of silver here.

Shi Niang smiled and nodded: "My sister has always been smart, which is beyond my reach." ”

There is no bitterness or gloom in Wu Niang's prediction.

It seems that there is no doubt at all about Wu Niang's "I like to think about these when I have nothing to do".

Wu Niang couldn't help but be discouraged.

Every time I talk to her, it's like a punch on Mianhua, and there is no sense of accomplishment. Unlike Shi Niang, her eyes were full of anger but she didn't dare to attack......

She felt very bored, and took out a few drafts she had written before and showed them to Eleven Niang: "...... This is what we all mentioned earlier, with a big longevity character in the middle and ninety-nine small longevity characters next to it...... This one is written in the shape of a diamond, with a small block in the middle and a lishu on the edge of the diamond...... This one is written in a circle, all in small block letters......"

As the two were talking, Ziyuan brought a brocade to Eleven Niang.

As soon as Eleven Niang sat down, Wu Xiao's family came.

Crape myrtle and aster were busy. On the top of the refreshment, the end of the end of the brocade pestle. It took a while for the three of them to sit down and talk.

"This is the one that was drawn according to the intention of the eldest lady before." Wu Xiao's family took a piece of brown paper and showed it to Wu Niang, "The base is carved with boxwood for Peng Zu's eight hundred sons, and the frame is made of wenge wood......"

"Why don't you use pineapple?" Wu Niang interrupted Wu Xiao's family, "Since the base is made of boxwood, I'm afraid that the frame is made of wenge wood, right?" ”

The boxwood is yellowish in color, and wenge is dark red in color.

"Who's to say it's not." Wu Xiao's family was also the eldest lady next to the eldest wife, and she read and wrote, and her basic level of appreciation was still there, "It turned out that I had other ideas." One is to replace the base with red sandalwood of the same color as wenge. It's just that now pineapple wood is hard to find, let alone red sandalwood. This method will definitely not work. The second is to replace the base with wenge wood, so that the frame and the base are made of the same material, which is the best. My family happened to have the impression that there seemed to be one in the house that could be used. When I went to the warehouse to get it, I learned that the last time Zhejiang made Huang's mother celebrate her birthday, the uncle invited someone to carve a birthday star Weng to make a birthday gift. This matter is decided by the eldest lady in a hurry, there is no market for a while, and several familiar timber companies have left letters, and there has been no reply to the letter so far. ”

Wu Niang couldn't help frowning when she heard this: "Who decided this?" It's too unsophisticated! Does Mother Know? ”
