Chapter 140: Ask the Girl
"I have long had such an ideal, giving birth to a baby!" Pearl chases the happy children running in the dining room,
As soon as these words came out, he almost made Ming Qian fall, but it was easy to calm down and throw a sentence to Pearl, "You must not have noticed that you were not born to be well-behaved and cute here." ”
When Pearl heard this, she glared at her husband and said, "Don't be dissatisfied! ”
Ming Qian shook his head and smiled, no way, people are not satisfied, and he can't avoid the human nature of Long Wangshu.
In winter, the whole family sits together to eat pots, and Pearl is especially fond of beef, fresh lamb, vegetables, and especially fish balls and meatballs. Of course, there is also a lot of seafood, and there are a lot of abalone, prawns, and even sea cucumbers on the dinner table. The kids especially love to eat the shrimp, so when they are boiled, they are fished out and eaten with the super dipping sauce provided by the pearls.
Xiao San let the nurse sleep early, Zhu'er and Huaiyi were the two girls who commanded the waiting girls, Huairen was not good at doing it himself, there was a girl to do it for him, but Ming Zhen'er and Ming Qian did it themselves. Obviously, it's a taste that the whole family loves. Pearl not only made chicken soup hot pot, but also made a mushroom soup hot pot and a mandarin duck pot. Of course, everyone also likes barbecue. It's just that barbecue can only be indoors, and they have to eat barbecue at home, and they have to tolerate this taste for three or four days.
However, Mingqian's hobby has also driven the people around him, especially since Pearl made Mingqian a bowl of spicy tang and dipping sauce to send it, which made Mingqian a sensation in the Hanlin Academy, when their top bosses came to Mingqian here one by one with their own food boxes. Everyone felt that there was something wrong with the painting style. But it can't be helped.
Pearl actually feels very sorry for her husband, and they can't make a fire there in winter. Everyone was cold, and the fur boots that Pearl had prepared for her husband were all one size bigger, because it was so cold that Mingqian had to wear wool socks. There are even more clothes on her body, Pearl felt sorry for her husband, got a warm **, and then put on a wool vest and a down cotton jacket and cotton pants. Then there is the official uniform of thick material. There is also a fur coat with a fur on the outside of the official uniform.
Mingqian's body is the envy of those bosses, and Pearl was harmed by her husband. I have taught others how to make down jackets for many days. For a while, there was even a shortage of chickens, ducks and geese in the capital. However, this discovery will not be suspected of the pearl, because the old lady of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion has already put on a down padded jacket.
On this day, Pearl was invited by the three girls to their house to participate in the flower viewing party, because the opportunity was rare. Pearl took Ming Zhen'er and Yu'er with her. Pearls were going to follow. was bribed by Pearl with a freshly cooked orange pudding, and Pearl took Ming Zhen'er and Yu'er and got into the carriage. Went directly to Qi's house.
As soon as Pearl entered the door, she saw Sanniu waiting for her, and when she saw Pearl, Sanniu hurriedly came over to help her, and said, "The eldest sister is here, I've been waiting for a long time." ”
"Still greet you? Just wait in the house. ”
Sanniu smiled and did not refute, but said hello to Ming Zhen'er and Yu'er, the two girls were very close to Sanniu, they both replied with a smile, and the group entered the second gate. I went to see the Qi family first, and then met the three sisters-in-law of Sanniu, and Pearl gave a gift.
"The eldest sister of the in-laws is really polite, and she broke the bill."
Pearl smiled and said, "You can just call me Pearl." This cousin of my family, Ming Zhen'er, has been learning embroidery from me. This little girl is my adult's niece, named Yu'er. ”
Two girls came over and saluted. Qi saw that the rules of these two girls were very good, and they liked it very much, so they gave Ming Zhen'er and Yu'er two pearl flowers, compared with the crystal tassel given by Pearl, it was okay, and Pearl smiled and let the two children take it.
Qi Yingying saw the pearl and said with a smile, "Big sister, what delicious food did you bring?" ”
Qi Yingying remembered that when she praised her sister-in-law's dim sum for its deliciousness, her sister-in-law once told her that she learned the skill of making dim sum from her eldest sister. Today, I saw that Pearl brought a food box, so I hurriedly came over to ask, she and Pearl have met, and they are no strangers at this time.
Qi glared at his little daughter, and said to Pearl with a smile, "My little daughter, I'm really used to it, and I make you laugh." ”
Pearl smiled and said, "Yingying is very cute. After speaking, he said to the little girl, "I brought orange pudding and matcha cake this time, as well as cream pine cake and lotus root osmanthus sugar cake." ”
Qi Yingying looked at Qi excitedly, saliva was about to flow out, Qi also smiled, and asked people to bring up the dim sum brought by the pearl, Qi Yingying jumped up happily when she saw such a fragrant and beautiful dim sum.
Pearl secretly observed Sanniu, and saw that Qi and the three sisters were not dissatisfied with her, so their hearts were relieved, and soon someone came to the house again, and Pearl took Ming Zhen'er and Yu'er to Sanniu's house. Today is the flower viewing feast, and the Qi family's house has planted a lot of plum trees, and the flowers are blooming just right at this time.
When Sanniu got married, there were two big girls Zhu Yun and Juan Bi around her, four little girls, all of whom were not very old, and ten companion houses, who managed Sanniu's dowry shop and fields. At this time, the person in charge of entertaining them was Mengting, one of the four little girls, who was only twelve years old this year.
"Mengting, how is the relationship between your young lady and your uncle?"
Pearl drank tea and asked while watching Ming Zhen'er and Yu'er look around the room, Meng Ting smiled and said to Pearl,
"Miss Qiyu, my young lady has a very good relationship with my uncle! My uncle can stick to my young lady, if someone else asks, the little maid will not be so tongue-in-cheek. ”
Pearl started to gossip and asked with a smile, "How do you stick to it?" ”
"My aunt watched my young lady get dressed every morning, and after a while, we went to greet my wife. Then my uncle went to read the book. When it was noon, I came to Miss again and had dinner with Miss. also pestered the young lady and asked the young lady to make clothes and snacks. Friends come to look for it, and they don't go. I'm happy to stay at home with Miss. If the young lady ignores him, the uncle will be angry! ”
Pearl's smile deepened, believing that his little brother-in-law was only sixteen years old after the New Year, and he was nearly three years old from the third girl! Fortunately, the ancients got married early. Pearl asked again,
"Has your young lady's embroidery been left behind? Still reading books? ”
Meng Ting said, "Miss is embroidering double-sided embroidery, this time I invite the eldest lady to come, my young lady just wants to ask about embroidery." The young lady now writes every day and reads. ”
Pearl nodded and said to Meng Ting, "Bring me your young lady's embroidered picture." ”
"Yes, Miss."
After a while, Meng Ting brought the embroidery picture, followed by a sewing basket. Pearl found the right thread, while embroidering, while asking Mengting,
“
How is your lady to your young lady? ”
"Madame looks fine, but once the young master went to the study very late, Madame was a little angry, but she only said the young master, not Miss." Meng Ting stood aside and replied,
Pearl asked again, "What about the three young ladies of their family?" What kind of temper are they? ”
"The eldest lady is busy embroidering the dowry, and she can't see it in her spare time, but she also has a good temper. In the words of my young lady, she has the demeanor of an eldest sister. The second lady likes my lady's clothes and jewelry very much, and when she sees one, she wants to ask for one, and she also likes the lady's jewelry, but my lady said that these things are dowries and cannot be given away. She can't help it, Miss Three likes dim sum more, and I think my Miss Family's favorite is Miss Three. Meng Ting replied while looking at Pearl's face,
Pearl snorted, it was an answer, looking at the embroidery of the three girls, it was obvious that she was a little uncertain when dealing with the eyes, the three girls embroidered the white cat picture, which is simpler than the lion and tiger picture, and the pearl embroidered an eye. This is double-sided embroidery, which is very time-consuming.
When the guests were almost there, Pearl called the two little girls who were reading in Sanniu's study to meet the guests together.
There are a lot of guests who come to enjoy the flowers today, half of them are pearls have not seen, pearls smile and greet everyone, do not come out, naturally will not steal the limelight of the host. However, Pearl's husband is the champion, and for these ladies of the Qingliu family, there is still some decency.
"Zhen'er is your apprentice? Don't know what she learned from you? The lady of Hallym University asked in surprise, although her husband is a scholar of Hallym University, but this lady seems to be from a merchant background,
Pearl smiled and said, "Zhen'er learned embroidery with me. ”
When Mrs. An heard this, she was a little disapproving, Qi Shi listened to it on the side, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid Mrs. An doesn't know, my daughter-in-law's eldest sister is amazing, and the embroidery is double-sided!" My daughter-in-law's dowry has a large red sandalwood floor-to-ceiling screen, and the double-sided embroidery on it is really alive! ”
Several other ladies also came to be interested, in the past, I had only seen a small screen or an interstitial screen, and the floor screen was so large, I really hadn't seen it, I heard Qi say good, everyone wanted to see it. Qi called Sanniu, and Sanniu hurriedly ordered the sturdy mother-in-law in the house to go to a few and move the screen over. Not long after, the six mothers-in-law moved the screen out of the storeroom, put it in the hall, and carried the original screen out.
All the ladies came to see, and some of the young ladies who had heard about it also came with them. This screen was embroidered with pearls for a year of marriage money for the three girls, and it took a whole year to embroider Feitian. Like a real fairy, the posture is peerless, or holding the pipa, or playing the transverse flute, far or near, movement and quiet, people who have seen it all sigh, and on the other side, the embroidery is indeed the back of the fairy, of course, there are also people with a straight face, but the scene is not the clouds, but the water's edge, everyone began to look awkward, to see how many different places there are on the front and back, the pearl told them, sixty-six. Everyone was interested. Later, some little girls also came over to have fun.
At this time, the ladies finally understood, it turned out that this Mrs. Ming was not only the wife of the champion, but also the embroiderer.
When it was time to leave, Pearl went back with the Lu'an melon slices sent by Mrs. Qi's hometown. Obviously, the dim sum sent by Pearl today is very popular, and Pearl gave the dim sum recipe to Sanniu, and let Sanniu cook it for her family when she is free. (To be continued......)
