Chapter Seventy-Two: The Boudoir

Wu Yuan immediately followed, and as soon as he walked into the courtyard, he saw a swing frame, the shelves were all wrapped with flowers and vines, the armrests were carefully wrapped with satin gauntlets, and the stools were covered with soft cushions.

This swing frame should have been built when my mother lived in the dealer before, and it can be seen that my mother was really comfortable when she was in the dealer's house, Wu Yuan stroked the swing frame, imagining the appearance of her mother swinging here when she was a girl, and couldn't help but have a slight upturn in the corners of her mouth.

Zhuang Zhiyong looked at Wu Yuan smiling at the swing frame, and knew that Wu Yuan was thinking about his mother, and said with a smile: "Do you want to sit on it, uncle pushes you?" ”

Wu Yuan smiled and said, "No, no, I'm afraid of wrestling!" ”

Zhuang Zhiyong didn't say much when he heard this, in the end, he was a child, he always pretended to be an adult in front of people, and he didn't want to show his child's heart.

The old lady of the dealer called Wu Yuan into the house, pointed to the soft collapse and said: "Although our Yangzhou is in the south, it is always cold in winter, so I will let my subordinates build a warm kang for you, do you like it?" When it's cold, you must come and live, otherwise this kang will be wasted! ”

Wu Yuan chuckled and said, "Yes! My granddaughter will definitely come to live at that time, I haven't lived in the kang yet! In the Wu family in winter, the subordinates always carry braziers, although the house is warm, it is always a little cold, or my grandmother thinks thoughtfully! ”

The old lady of the dealer said proudly: "That's not, when I went to the north with your grandfather to do business, I saw that the northerners always sleep on the warm kang, so I was curious to ask a few more words, I didn't expect it to be so convenient, and when I came back, I simply changed it all to the warm kang, your mother used to like to stay in this house and not go out!" ”

Wu Yuan looked around the room layout, full of luxury and elegance, the carpet on the floor covered the room, even the windows were glazed, Wu Yuan touched it curiously, the sunlight shone in from the outside, and fell in the house colorful, dotted with light and shadow, it was very beautiful.

"This is when I went to run a business, I saw that those foreigners always like to decorate their churches with this glass, so I bought it back, how about it, it looks good, right? This one is easy to take care of after installation, and it is not airtight, and the sun can shine into the house in winter. Zhuang Zhiyong said with a smile.

"Well, my uncle's vision is naturally good, but so much glass should be very expensive, right?" Wu Yuan asked with a smile.

Zhuang Zhiyong coughed and said, "For your own family, you are not afraid of being expensive, you bought it all because your mother liked it before." ”

Mrs. Zhuang said dissatisfiedly: "You don't have to hide it, it's not that I don't know that this glass is rare, I didn't say anything when you changed this glass window for your sister-in-law, cough what?" Or, Ming'er, you also changed my house for me? I'm older and I love these rare things! ”

Wu Yuan pursed his lips and looked at his uncle with a snicker.

Zhuang Zhiyong touched his head and said with a smile: "Mother likes it, and the son should naturally be filial to his mother, but it is estimated that it will be next year。。。。。。 We don't have this thing in Yangzhou, we have to go to the coastal side to have it. ”

After Mrs. Zhuang snorted, she took Wu Yuan to see the inner room.

Seeing that there were only a few ornaments on the museum shelves in the back room, Mrs. Zhuang frowned and called Cui'e to instruct: "How about just putting some ornaments, here we have to put the things that Wu Yuan likes!" ”

Cui'e said with some hesitation: "The first time the eldest lady came to our dealer's house, I really don't know what the eldest lady likes, otherwise I will let the subordinates buy it back and arrange it." ”

After listening to Cui'e's words, Old Madam Zhuang looked at Wu Yuan with inquiring eyes.

Wu Yuan was a little helpless when he heard this, it seems that his grandmother decorated this yard as her permanent residence.

"My granddaughter doesn't usually have any preferences, so she likes to read miscellaneous books。。。。。。" Wu Yuan said with some embarrassment.

Old Madam Zhuang frowned when she heard this, "Little girl's family, what miscellaneous books do you read, those books hurt your mind if you read too much, be careful to teach you badly!" In my opinion, it is always right for us to practice embroidery, and there are objects such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which are all in your mother's small study, so you don't need to add more! ”

Wu Yuan had a headache when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "No need, no need, grandmother, granddaughter is really lacking in talent in embroidery, you see the granddaughter's embroidered forehead, granddaughter is embarrassed to take out her hand." ”

After speaking, Wu Yuan instructed Chun Tao to take out the forehead wipe that he was going to give to his grandmother.

Mrs. Zhuang happily took the forehead and saw that the stitches were too messy, and the embroidery was twisted.

Cui'e Mama looked at the forehead curiously on the side, and looked at Wu Yuan helplessly, thinking that this eldest lady's needlework was really 108,000 miles worse than her mother.

This really doesn't look like Zhuang's daughter.

At the beginning, Zhuang was a well-known talented woman, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and a good embroidery was even more amazing.

Zhuang Zhiyong heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward to see Wu Yuan's forehead wipe, this look, Zhuang Zhiyong almost laughed, Wu Yuan thought of it, this forehead is also embarrassed to take it!

Wu Yuan said embarrassedly: "My granddaughter is not good at this, my grandmother shouldn't force me to learn embroidery!" This thing is prickly again, and it's hard to learn, I've been staring at the needlework without blinking, and my granddaughter's eyes are straight, anyway, I don't learn this! I'd rather go to the ledger。。。。。。 ”

Old Madam Zhuang said angrily: "How can this work? Women don't know how to embroider, when you get married, do you have to be embroidered by outsiders to help you embroider? This thing still has to be learned, it doesn't matter if the embroidery is not good, just learn it slowly, the Wu family must not have the heart to teach you! ”

Wu Yuan heard that his head was too big, could it be that when he came to live in the dealer's house, he still had to learn needlework? This is going to kill her!

Zhuang Zhiyong looked at Wu Yuan's struggling appearance, and hurriedly relieved the siege and said: "If you want me to say, if you don't learn this thing, you won't learn it well, anyway, this girl is married, and she is not an embroiderer, so you don't need to bother so much." When Wu Yuan gets married, let's marry a needlework room, I am reluctant to let my niece do needlework for others, mother, you can just look at this forehead wiping made by Wu Yuan, she really can't do this thing. However, mother, haven't you given us any embroidery bags for so many years? ”

Wu Yuan hurriedly smiled at his uncle gratefully when he heard this, Zhuang Zhi looked at Wu Yuan with a smile, this ghostly girl, when it comes to the critical time, she knows who is good to her, right?

Old Madam Zhuang was about to refute when she heard this, but she couldn't say the words when they came to her mouth.

Mrs. Zhuang didn't do much needlework when she was young, so she invited the best embroidery girl to teach Wu Yuan's mother how to needlework, thinking that her daughter could fight for breath.

However, at the beginning, Mrs. Zhuang didn't pay attention to needlework! Mrs. Zhuang is doing business everywhere, and what is more important is that Mrs. Zhuang can take care of the housework, otherwise Mrs. Zhuang will not be willing to clean up Mrs. Zhuang, and she has not accepted a concubine for decades.

The two of them have lived a lifetime as an old husband and wife.

I didn't expect to be old, but my son used this to gag his mouth.

Old Madam Zhuang could only pretend to be calm and said, "You talk a lot!" If you don't learn, you don't learn! You see what Wu Yuan likes, just add it to her! I'm going to rest and rest, let's go! Wu Yuan, don't stay here with your uncle, take a nap with your grandmother! ”

After speaking, Mrs. Zhuang took Wu Yuan to her house, leaving Zhuang Zhiyong to work in this courtyard.

Zhuang Zhiyong watched his grandparents and grandchildren leave, quite helpless, why couldn't he fall in the end?
