Chapter Twenty-Three: Embroidery

The county lord and Zhuang Qin were talking about the three of Zhuo Yiting's master and servant, and they fell asleep in a trance, and Jinghua Xie was still embroidering with candles.

It turned out that a few days ago, all the prefectures were set to give the name of Zhuo Yiting, and they all sent gifts one by one to congratulate him, Zhuo Yiting was very grateful in his heart, and he didn't get the gift exchange, so he planned to make some needlework handkerchiefs as a return gift. She quietly asked Huiyuan to hand over the message to the old lady, and the old lady gave her the silk satin and an autumn color Luo rewarded in the old palace, and after careful cutting, it was twenty-four squares, and the remaining four corners were sewn together to make four purses.

It's nightfall.

Sanxi saw that her girl was embroidered with injuries, she was tireless, very distressed, and believed the needle and thread in her hand, and said: "Girl, you have been embroidering for a day, hurry up and rest!" ”

Zhuo Yiting took the needle and thread back from Sanxi's hand and continued to embroider. Sanxi let out a snort, sat aside and said to Huiyuan, who was making the bed and folding the quilt: "Look at the girl, toss yourself, but I don't know if this family should take it seriously, such a trace of square silk, in my opinion, I am stingy, it is better not to send it." "There is a sense of reproaching Huiyuan Gang to get the fabric.

Zhuo Yiting smiled slightly, and he didn't annoy her. Huiyuan said with a smile: "What the girl thinks about is not a simple handkerchief and handkerchief, there is a simple handkerchief and handkerchief in ancient times, the friendship of peach knots, and the love of Jinlan as a handkerchief." The girl reads a heart, a little more closeness. ”

Sanxi scratched his head and pouted, and said in vain: "You are knowledgeable with the girl, and you are bullying me as a girl." People put handkerchiefs with gold edges to hang pearls, and we send them out, I'm afraid we can't look at them. It was thrown away, and it ruined our girl's mind. I really don't know what these girls and wives in the capital are used for, getting in the way, and they can't leave all day long. ”

Huiyuan moved over from the side of the bed, picked up a monochrome handkerchief from Zhuo Yiting's side, and began to pull out the needle and thread, wanting to help, after thinking about it, he smiled and said: "In Hanle Mansion's "Peacock Flying Southeast", it is said that 'Ah Nu is silent, and the handkerchief covers her mouth and cries', but it is not a big use. ”

Zhuo Yiting looked at Huiyuan with approving eyes, and continued: "Not only did Han Yuefu say it, but Tang Chu also said it, then the "Official Words" said, 'Thank you for your heart, and you don't feel sweating.' Yin Xu said left and right, took a handkerchief and wiped his face with Xie Lang', and then there was "Visiting Cui......" in "Peach Blossom Fan", "Zhuo Yiting didn't finish speaking, his face turned crimson, and he knew that he couldn't talk about it, so he glanced at Huiyuan, Huiyuan understood, and didn't talk.

Sanxi saw that Zhuo Yiting intercepted the words, and became confused, so he asked, "What did you say?" ”

Hui Yuan covered her smile and was silent.

Zhuo Yiting pushed Huiyuan a little and became shy.

Sanxi was anxious, and pestered Zhuo Yiting and said: "When will the girl learn from those people, say half a sentence and leave half a sentence." ”

Zhuo Yiting said: "This is also what we say you can hear." ”

Huiyuan saw that Sanxi was entangled, so he said: "There is nothing that cannot be said." "Visiting Cui" said that the famous prostitutes in the brothel all gave handkerchiefs to the Jinlan sisters, just like brothers. ”

When Sanxi heard this, he was stunned, clapped his hands and said, "Isn't that a curse that the enemies of this family are all prostitutes?" After thinking about it, he frowned again and said: "But it's wrong again, girl, you give prostitutes handkerchiefs and want to become sisters with them, that's not ...... with prostitutes all the way."

Huiyuan put down the needle and thread in her hand, "Bah, Bah", and said with a smile: "It's you who don't understand, I'll give you a random explanation, and I can't go around to the girl." ”

Zhuo Yiting said: "They all sent things, and we didn't have any gifts in return." It is also appropriate to give each person a handkerchief. I don't think about it that much. He took the needlework handkerchief back from Huiyuan lightly, and did not let her live.

Sanxi Jue Zhuo Yiting refused to make outsiders, so he didn't let Huiyuan do it, and took the initiative to get it and do it. Zhuo Yiting didn't give it.

So Sanxi said: "I and Huiyuan help you, but you don't want to, you stay up like this, not to mention that the injuries on your body are not good, and it is not good for your eyes." ”

Zhuo Yiting said: "It's okay. Go and rest first! ”

Sanxi and Huiyuan didn't move and stayed with them.

In the middle of the night, Huiyuan poured the tea, took a pot of boiling water, poured a cup and handed it to Zhuo Yiting. When he saw Sanxi yawning, he said, "In my opinion, I approve of the girl." The girl gave a return gift to the wives and girls, and we also showed some to the ladies and girls, and they will naturally not be born in the future. ”

Zhuo Yiting took the water, took a sip, and smiled at Huiyuan, full of gratitude.

Sanxi Yilin, came to the spirit, and said: "In this way, you all have plans, and I am alone under your hood." ”

Sanxi sulked.

Zhuo Yiting said: "Okay, you don't want to be angry." We can't be like this in front of outsiders, and we can't let people say that we are uneducated. ”

Sanxi smiled and said, "Don't worry, girl." Oh, by the way, I went to Mr. Yao, and Mr. Yao asked the girl how she was doing, and told the girl to take care of herself. ”

The three of them talked and laughed, and at the end of the night, Sanxi and Huiyuan cut the autumn horse together, and made a veil like her girl.

Until the next morning, Zhuo Yiting saw Sanxi sleeping on her stomach, Huiyuan yawned again and again, she was distressed and said to Huiyuan: "You go to sleep too!" ”

Huiyuan said: "It's so bright, and I'm still sleeping." ”

Huiyuan went to present the handkerchiefs embroidered by Zhuo Yiting one by one, and exclaimed: "It's just one silk, the girl's hands are smarter than ours." ”

Zhuo Yiting was stuck, yawned, and said with a smile: "My mother often taught me, but unfortunately I didn't love female celebrities before. I can only catch ducks on the shelves and embroider these indiscriminately to meet the occasion. ”

Huiyuan said: "I think it is excellent, with the taste of Suzhou embroidery, and the meticulous beauty of Shu embroidery." ”

Zhuo Yiting was surprised: "You still understand this." For Huiyuan, maybe she knows more than what she did before, if it weren't for the world's encounter, she must be a rare talented lady in the boudoir, but it's a pity that she is buried here now. Zhuo Yiting suddenly had a lot of pity and pity for Huiyuan.

Huiyuan said: "My mother was born in Suzhou, my grandmother is from Shudi, and my mother also showed me my grandmother's embroidery." So I think it's very familiar, but if you look closely, the two don't look like each other. ”

Zhuo Yiting praised Huiyuan, so he took her hand to show his closeness, and said: "You woke up Sanxi, looked at the time, and the two of you sent it to each room." "When the words were spoken, I regretted it, how to deliver these handkerchiefs, and how to say when I sent them, I didn't plan it. In the end, the idea is impulsive and reckless.

Hui Yuan went to shake Sanxi awake.

Sanxi said in a panic: "Oops, I actually fell asleep." ”

Zhuo Yiting took over and said, "I think she is brainless at this time." When I finish embroidering this silk, you can go with me. ”

At this moment, the girl in the old lady's room, Zhu'er, came over with a few girls, holding the clothes for tomorrow's ceremony.

Zhu'er smiled and said, "The girl got up early, and the old lady asked me to come and give the girl clothes for tomorrow." ”

Zhuo Yiting was sleepy, and gave a heavy salute: "Thank you, Sister Zhu'er." ”

Where did Zhu'er dare to accept Zhuo Yiting's courtesy, he quickly bowed down, let go, and lowered Shen Fu to Zhuo Yiting. After getting up, let the little girl holding the clothes behind her present the clothes, and Huiyuan and Sanxi took it.

Zhu'er was surprised when she saw Zhuo Yiting's handkerchiefs on the table, and said with a smile: "What did the girl embroider?" ”

Zhuo Yiting was busy hiding, and said repeatedly: "It's nothing, it's just a glow." ”

Zhu'er playfully took it, took it carefully, and exclaimed: "Ah, the stitches can catch up with those machine-woven machines in the overseas heavens, not to mention the smoothness, and the patterns are also out of pattern." The patterns on the show are as vivid as the real thing. It is said that the four girls in our house are skillful, and they are in a hurry with the girls, and they are also ...... It's good together! ”

Zhuo Yiting blushed.

Zhuo Yiting hurriedly greeted Huiyuan behind him: "Huiyuan, you bring the first one embroidered." ”

Huiyuan went to the table and brought a handkerchief and handed it to Zhuo Yiting. Sanxi looked at it, and his heart was worried, slightly more than the surface, and a little unhappy.

Zhuo Yiting handed it to Zhu'er and said, "Please sister, don't dislike roughness." ”

Zhu'er happily took it, only to see that the handkerchief was vividly embroidered with a Ganoderma lucidum, and the reverse embroidered was auspicious clouds. Realizing that her identity was inappropriate, she pushed it a few times, Zhuo Yiting gave it sincerely, and she accepted it politely. Zhuo Yiting felt that this was not appropriate, so he took a few tassels of the purse and gave them to the little girl who came with him. One is to treat everyone equally, the second is different from bamboo, and the third is to seal the right and wrong of the population.

Before leaving, Zhu'er politely said, "I let the wives know, and said that our hands and feet are not clean." But I like it very much, I can't control them to expose their skins and beat them, and they accept it with a black heart. What the girl needs me to do in the future, I can rely on the girl. is worthy of the girl's affection. ”

Zhuo Yiting said with a smile: "My sister is serious, it's just a small handkerchief, why worry about it." ”

At the end, Zhu'er reminded: "It was supposed to be sent the night before, but unfortunately the old lady was uneasy at night, so I delayed it." Girl, try on your clothes first, and if it's too short, come to me, and I'll find the tailor and change it. Everyone in the house is busy with tomorrow's business, so I'll go first. The old lady is getting up soon, and I have to go back and wait. ”

Zhuo Yiting smiled and nodded.

Bamboo went out.

Sanxi was angry when he saw Zhu'er leaving: "The girl's embroidery is for the lady in the house, for a girl, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it." ”

When Zhuo Yiting heard this, he was annoyed, and motioned to Huiyuan to close the door tightly, before he said, "You ...... The mouth is getting more and more powerful. ”

Huiyuan explained: "The girl has the truth of the girl. He motioned to Sanxi to clean up the bits and pieces on the table, and said, "You, don't be angry with the girl." ”

Sanxi didn't know whether to receive it or not, so he just cared about "humming", turned around and went, and didn't clean it up. Zhuo Yiting saw Sanxi's heart, but he was faintly worried. Huiyuan saw Zhuo Yiting's worried look, held her hand slightly, and said, "I am also of the same heart as Sanxi, all of them are here with the girl." ”

Zhuo Yiting was slightly comforted, and sighed: "I didn't know that you were coming, but I ......"

Huiyuan "shhhhh After all, Sanxi is smaller than us, and it may not be deep or shallow. The girl didn't have to blame her. ”

Zhuo Yiting really felt the calmness of Huiyuan, and he was a person who could rely on things, so he asked her to remind Sanxi more, so as not to make bad things happen to her. These words alone were heard by Sanxi, and his heart was even more uncomfortable.

Sanxi was outside the inner hall, looking at the shadow of Zhu'er in the distance, and he felt sorry for himself.

Fortunately, just three happy words, Zhu'er never heard, she got the silk handkerchief, happy and grateful, while playing around her fingers, while explaining that the little girl is not allowed to mention it to outsiders, in turn from the mirror flower Xie through the flower garden back to Zhongfu.

Zhu'er motioned for the little girls to prepare tea and wait, wanting to serve the old lady, and when the girls left, Zhu'er turned around and walked towards the hall. When she walked to the door, she heard someone talking inside, and she knew that the Qin family and other daughters-in-law and girls had come to say goodbye.

Zhu'er waited for the people inside to stop talking before timidly stepping in.

In the main hall of the hall, sitting on the left side are the Qin family and the county lord, and behind them are Aunt Xi, Fengxian, Little Aunt, and Zhuang Xuan's two aunts; On the right side sat Cao and Aunt Yi, and behind them stood Aunt Yuan and the second girl, the third girl, the fourth girl, the fifth girl, the sixth girl, and the seventh girl.

When Zhu'er came in, the county lord and the Qin family were serving tea to drink, and when they saw Zhu'er, they looked at each other with a smile.

Zhu'er bowed to everyone and said, "The old lady just got up, and the ladies and girls waited for her for a while." ”

The county lord smiled: "The old lady got up late today, she must be in a good mood and sleep soundly." ”

Zhu'er said: "Who said no, I want to give a gift to the junior girl tomorrow, and I was so happy last night that I lay down at night." ”

Qin Shi smiled faintly, took a sip of tea, and didn't look up, only said, "You go and serve the old lady, we'll wait." ”

Bamboo went.

Qin Shi said again: "It's rare for the old lady to be happy. Glancing at Cao's family, he said, "I've never seen an old lady do this for a girl." Our eldest girl in Dongfu got married, and the old lady was not so stylish. ”

Cao Shi held the fan in his hand, patted left and right, looked directly at the chair in the main hall, and said, "Naturally, who asked the girl to come forward and save our master." ”

Qin Shi continued: "Who said no, our boss is useless, the old lady loved it at the beginning, and now this situation is coming up with age, and there is that disease." The fame is no longer obtained, and the second young master and the third young master are also counting on it. ”

Cao Shi smiled, turned his head to look at the county lord with a smile on his face, and said, "Pu'er has been talking about this family matter for many years, and the third wife is not in a hurry. ”

The county lord smiled and said: "I'm also in a hurry, the old lady * lined up, and pushed him back alive." We arranged, and he also reversed the bones. said that he would marry after he got an official position, and I didn't think it would be useful, but Mrs. Lao Da's second wife talked too much about him. ”

Cao said: "I mean it's not moving, the most weightless in the house belongs to me." The children can listen to my sentence or two, which is really an eye-opening for the emperor Lao Tzu. ”

Qin Bai glanced at Cao, and didn't want to talk, but said again: "You talk like you eat melon seeds, you spit out a shell, and you are not serious." ”

Cao Shi was helpless, and said in a cool voice: "That's it, I won't say it." Catch up with Ming'er, my second girl and third girl went out, and the old lady * pawned, and I was also satisfied. So he looked back at Zhuang Qi and Zhuang Ying.

Zhuang Xuan pursed his lips and said angrily: "Mrs. will make fun of us, and when the old lady comes out, I will tell the old lady to go." ”

Cao Shi reflexively, slapped a fan on Zhuang Xuan's arm, and said strangely: "There is no conscience." ”

The crowd laughed.

The county lord smiled and said, "Then you estimate that the old lady likes this girl so much, and she really only saved our tortoise?" ”

The county lord listened to Zhuang Qin's whole story at night, thinking about how to open his mouth to probe their tone, and said this at this moment, wanting to find out how much you know the inside story.

Qin said: "Is there anything else?" is not related to each other, and there is only such a relationship. Third wife, you have the right to accept a good girl. ”

Cao Shi snorted carefully and said, "If a kid comes to our house, I will be happy." Whoever called it is not a brat. ”

The county lord smiled, guessing in his heart that they didn't know. If you really know, Cao's words have come to rise early. Everyone talked and laughed and waited for the old lady to come out, please say goodbye, and then talk about the day's ceremony, and then everything else was gone.

Only Cao's heart was unhappy, because Zhuo Yiting crossed her daughter's ranking as soon as she came, and seeing that Zhuo Yiting had the favor of the old lady more than the girl in the house, she was unconvinced; The old lady arranged for her to supervise the miscellaneous ceremonies, so she returned to the house depressed, and she couldn't get angry, so she scolded Zhuang Lu for scolding Huai, and roughly said that Zhuang Lu didn't argue and argue, and she shouldn't let Zhuang Yingzheng and the three girls press down. Zhuang Lu ignored her, she was even more annoyed, and she casually picked up a girl to find a reason to pinch and beat, and she didn't care if it was reasonable or unreasonable at the moment. Zhuang Xuan and Zhuang Ying saw their mother like this, so they went out early to find their sisters, and out of sight was clear.

In short, Zhuo Yiting's door ceremony was properly set, two days before the Dragon Boat Festival. However, who knew that such an earth-shattering event would happen on the day of the doorman's ceremony?
