Chapter 8: Memories of Embroidery

The boss pitied Lan Xiaoyou for being an orphan, and came out to work at a young age to make money, took care of her very much, and carefully taught her needlework skills, although there must be reservations, but Lan Xiaoyou learned a lot from the boss, and the sewing aspect has the boss's seventy percent strength. After traveling to ancient times, Mrs. Lan saw that Lan Xiaoyou liked female workers, so she found a skilled embroiderer to teach Lan Xiaoyou, so that Lan Xiaoyou's needlework skills became better and better, surpassing the embroidery girls who made a living from it.

With a lead, a lively kitten appeared on the embroidered cloth in a short time. The picture of a civet fluttering butterfly, one of Lan Xiaoyu's best embroidery patterns, will naturally embroider this pattern whenever her mind is empty. This pattern was the first pattern she embroidered when she first learned embroidery, and it was very unusual for her, but in her previous life, this pattern also brought her an unwarranted disaster.

Lan Xiaoyou couldn't help but think back to the events of his previous life. At that time, her reputation was ruined, and she could only enter the harem as a low-level noble, the queen mother did not treat her because of her reputation, and the women of the harem regarded her as the biggest enemy because of her relationship with Huang Furui, and joined forces to deal with her, but Huang Furui was not as affectionate and righteous to her as others thought, and let her face all kinds of conspiracies in the harem alone, and did not give her a trace of protection. Perhaps, Huang Furui wished that she would die in the battle of the harem at that time. It's a pity that at that time, I didn't see Huang Furui's ruthlessness, and I relied on embroidery to pass the time every day, just waiting to see Huang Furui.

At that time, the most embroidered pattern was the picture of the civet playing, but the queen Wen Songya asked people to steal her embroidery and give it to the queen mother in her name on the queen mother's birthday. The queen mother's genus is a rat, but Lan Xiaoyou "offered" the civet cat on the queen mother's birthday, isn't this a curse for the queen mother? The Queen Mother was furious, although she understood that Lan Xiaoyou might be wronged, but she didn't like Lan Xiaoyou in the first place, so she took advantage of the topic to play and let Lan Xiaoyou kneel in front of Shou'an Palace for five full hours.

For five hours, a full ten hours, the sky was still snowing, Lan Xiaoyou knelt outside in thin clothes, causing the wind to cold to the bones, and he was sick for a whole month, almost dragging down his body, and his knees also suffered devastating injuries, and every winter was extremely painful, and he could hardly walk.

Lan Xiaoyou suddenly reached out and rubbed his knee, although his knee is fine now, psychologically, the pain has not gone away.

Sighing, Lan Xiaoyou put the embroidered embroidery aside, picked up another embroidery and embroidered it. Suddenly, I heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside, followed by the voice of Lu Xiu.

"What are you doing in a panic?"

"Sister Luxiu, it was the third young lady who ordered the news of the young lady Sun to come back and report it quickly. Now, the eldest young lady and young master Sun have arrived outside the mansion. The little girl hurriedly said.

Without waiting for Lu Xiu to answer, the door opened, and Lan Xiaoyou walked out of the room.

"Sandalwood, you go and inform your mother. Lu Xiu, follow me to the second gate to greet my sister-in-law and nephew. ”

"Yes, Miss Three." Lu Xiu and the little maid hurriedly answered, and the little girl wiped her sweat, turned around and ran away to the main courtyard. Lan Xiaoyou took Lu Xiu and Taoxin to the second gate.

Lan Xiaoyou's courtyard was not close to the second gate, she quickened her pace, and finally came to the second gate before the sedan chair of the eldest young lady Li arrived at the second gate. After waiting for less than two minutes, Li's sedan chair arrived, and a gentle and elegant young woman walked out of the sedan chair holding a small bun the size of a year.

"Sister-in-law." Lan Xiaoyou hurriedly greeted him.

"Third sister!" Li called Lan Xiaoyou happily. Li was born in a famous family, five years older than Lan Xiaoyou, he knew Lan Xiaoyou before he got married, and after marrying into the Lan family, he had a good relationship with Lan Xiaoyou, and the two sisters-in-law were like biological sisters. I haven't seen each other for several years, and I am very happy to meet again at this time.

"I haven't seen you for three years, but my sister has grown up." Li sighed that when he left the capital, Lan Xiaoyou was still a child, and now she is a slender and beautiful girl.

"Sister-in-law hasn't changed." Lan Xiaoyou smiled and took the small bun from Li's hand, "This is my nephew, right?" You look so cute, more like your sister-in-law! ”

Li Shi looked at Lan Xiaoyou's skillful action of holding the child, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said with a smile: "Just for this, your eldest brother is still a little unhappy, saying that the next child must look like him." ”

Lan Xiaoyou said: "What does a man's family know about big brother?" A son must be like a mother to live well. If he is not happy, you can ignore him. ”

Li Shi said: "Your eldest brother is just talking about it, in fact, he is very good to Cong'er, and it is uncomfortable if he doesn't hold his son for a while every day." ”

After speaking, Li said to his son: "Cong'er, this is your third aunt, hurry up and call someone." ”

Xiao Baozi liked this aunt's arms very much, and after listening to her mother's words, she cried out in a milky voice, "Auntie." ”

"Hello Cong'er." Lan Xiaoyou couldn't help but kiss Xiao Baozi on the face, and said to Li, "Cong'er is so smart, she can speak before she is a year old." ”

Li was also proud of his son's cleverness, and said gratefully: "I also want to thank you, you wrote in the letter that the child will feel when he is in the mother's arms, and he will have to carry out prenatal education." Your eldest brother is obedient, and after practicing every day, he reads and plays the piano on my stomach. Not to mention, it's really useful, every time your eldest brother plays the piano, this kid is very active. And as soon as your eldest brother is studying, he is very honest......"

Li smiled: "So this child is smarter than ordinary children as soon as he is born." ”

Lan Xiaoyou laughed: "This is my credit, sister-in-law, how can you and your eldest brother thank me?" ”

Li said: "Your eldest brother and I have prepared a generous gift for you, keeping it and your heart. ”

"Then I'll thank my sister-in-law first."

Lan Xiaoyu led the Li family all the way into Mrs. Lan's main courtyard, Lan Xiaoyu and the other two younger sisters had rushed to the main courtyard after getting the news, and at the same time, several concubines of Marquis Lan also gathered in the main courtyard.

The Li family first greeted Mrs. Lan, and then greeted each other with the other aunts and Lan Xiaoyu.

Lan Xiaoyou reported the little bun to Mrs. Lan's side, and Mrs. Lan immediately hugged the little bun and didn't let go, it was rare. This is her grandson, her own grandson, Mrs. Lan likes it very much. Li tried to bring the child back several times, but he couldn't, so he could only look at his sister-in-law for help.

Lan Xiaoyou pursed her lips and smiled, and said to Mrs. Lan: "Mother, sister-in-law and Cong'er have worked hard all the way, you let them go back to the yard to freshen up first, and then let your sister-in-law take Cong'er to see you when they have enough rest tomorrow." Anyway, the eldest brother has returned to Beijing now, and it will be a long time to come. ”
