Chapter 90: Hidden Worries
In her cognition, only a female man with thick eyebrows and big eyes would pick up an embroidery needle and stare at her like Zhang Fei. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Fortunately, when the old lady heard that she was going to embroider, she was overjoyed and said: "I originally thought that when you were ten years old, I would hire a master for you to learn from female red, but I didn't expect you to be so motivated, and you have to learn now." So she sent a servant woman in the house who was good at embroidery to teach her embroidery.
If the handicraft in the previous life is not bad, now to learn with the mind of an adult, it is not a problem, less than an hour, the essentials of embroidery have been mastered.
The servant woman who taught her embroidery naturally wanted to pat her ass, and said to the old lady with a smile: "Fortunately, the slave maid is not a professional embroiderer to teach people to embroider for a living, if all the ladies you meet are as smart as the young lady, and they will learn it in just a while, and the slave and maid can only starve to death on Chang'an Street." ”
When the old lady heard this, her heart was overjoyed, and she laughed and urged Ruo Chen: "Quickly bring your embroidery work to grandmother to see how good it is, and ask the master to praise it like this!"
A maid had already taken the embroidery that Ruo Chen had embroidered a little bit and presented it to the old lady.
The old lady took a look, sure enough, the embroidery is good, although the stitches are a little jerky, but the petals that have only been embroidered half of the moon season are layered on top of each other, the color is suitable, at a glance it looks like a real flower, even if the person who has studied for a year or two may not be able to embroider so exquisitely, I like it even more, and said with a smile: "Beginners embroider flowers, generally choose single-petal flowers to embroider, we have just begun to learn to choose such complex flowers to embroider, and embroider so realistically, grandmother almost smells the fragrance of flowers, no wonder the master will praise." - Grandmother just wondered, what are you embroidering this flower in the corner, what is it in the vacant space?"
Ruo Chen replied: "Embroider two colorful butterflies and fly among the flowers." ”
Mrs. Xu drank tea and said with a smile: "Probably Tan'er wants to embroider butterflies and love flowers." ”
The old lady listened to her, thought of something, and asked, "What happened to the arrangement of Zichen's marriage ceremony?"
Mrs. Xu replied with a smile: "It's almost right, otherwise my daughter-in-law wouldn't dare to sit in front of the ancestor and drink tea." ”
The old lady nodded with satisfaction, and asked again: "Is the banquet arranged in the Splendid Hall or the Lotus Water Pavilion?"
Mrs. Xu replied: "In the Splendid Hall, my daughter-in-law asked someone to put a lot of potted flowers, which looked lively and festive. ”
The old lady pondered for a moment and said: "Although it is the beginning of autumn now, the weather is still very hot, it is better to arrange the wine banquet in the lotus water pavilion, and then hang thousands of lanterns around the lotus pond, at night, the lanterns are reflected in the water, and the lights in the water on the shore reflect each other, that is called a good scenery, and the cool breeze at night passes through the water pavilion that is transparent on all sides, and it is cool and comfortable." ”
Mrs. Xu was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "The ancestor is the most elegant person, even holding a banquet is so fresh and refined, it seems that we are vulgar, my daughter-in-law will take the order, so I will do it." ”
The old lady thought of her hard work, and was completely denied by herself, and she couldn't hold it on her face, and laughed at herself: "Where am I elegant? ”
Mrs. Xu smiled and retired.
Back in Huilan Garden, Mrs. Xu walked away from the little girls in the house and instructed Hongmei Baimei: "Send the housekeeper's mother to come in and rearrange the location of the banquet." ”
At that time, only Hongmei followed Mrs. Xu to Rongxi Hall, but Yibaimei didn't know about it, and said in surprise: "Jinxiu Hall has been arranged, why do you want to change the location?"
Mrs. Xu sighed and said, "It's the old lady's meaning, who dares to disobey." ”
Bai Mei asked again: "Where is the change?"
Mrs. Hongmei replied, "Lotus Water Pavilion." ”
Bai Mei was startled, turned her eyes to look at Mrs. Xu, and said slowly: "Madame - there is haunted......
Mrs. Xu sat with her eyes straight, and she didn't say anything for a long time, and then she said: "You pass on my words, and ask the chief manager to lead someone to search the lotus pond, especially the hibiscus grove adjacent to the lotus pond, and do a good job of security." ”
Bai Mei nodded and stepped back.
Hongmei saw that Mrs. Xu was worried, ran to the door, lifted the brocade curtain and looked out, there was no one under the verandah outside the house, Fang walked to Mrs. Xu's side and said comfortingly: "Madame actually doesn't have to worry too much, Lan Xiang was indeed a little haunted when she first died, but since Madam secretly sent someone to catch ghosts, it has been almost nine years, and there have been basically no ghosts. The ghost really didn't know how to jump out to make trouble, but where is her yin energy that is more than the yang energy of many guests, I am afraid that she will be forced back to the underworld, Madame rest assured, nothing will happen. ”
When Mrs. Xu heard this, she was relieved a lot, but she still said with hidden worries: "I don't know if it's a human or a ghost, if it's a ghost, none of the witches and gods I secretly sent can drive it away, if it's a human, after the killer came back, he repeatedly insisted that it was really a ghost, and he fled, which made me confused." ”
Those past red plums are all known.
Nine years ago, Lan Xiang accidentally drowned in the lotus pond, but in the middle of the month, there was a ghost, and everyone who saw it said that the female ghost was Lan Xiang.
Later, the haunting incident intensified, and all kinds of rumors could not be suppressed, and it was about to reach the ears of the old lady.
In desperation, Mrs. secretly invited several well-known ghost collectors to secretly collect ghosts in the hibiscus forest near the lotus pond at night.
The ghost collectors, without exception, stayed safe and sound in the hibiscus grove for one night, and the next day they took out a gourd and told their lady that the ghost had been collected in the magic vessel, and took the money and left.
But after only three or five days, Lan Xiang's ghost began to wander in the night again.
Mrs. Xu sent people to question the ghost collectors, and they all insisted that the ghosts had really been put into the treasure gourd by them, and the ones that appeared again were either new ghosts or people pretending to be ghosts.
When Mrs. heard that she had to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, she invited a brave master of the rivers and lakes to find out whether it was a human or a ghost.
As a result, the murderous master of the rivers and lakes fled back in fright, only said "It's really a ghost", and didn't even ask for compensation, so he fled in a hurry, but since then there has been no haunting, Mrs. and they are very happy, the haunting incident was finally contained, and it did not reach Rongxi Hall.
Hongmei recalled the past and said: "It must be a ghost, otherwise the killer would not have been scared like that, as for those gods and witches, they were simply cheating on silver, they said that the ghost caught was collected in the gourd, but who knows what was inside, maybe it was the urine of a boy to ward off evil spirits." ”
When Mrs. Xu heard this, she sighed: "It's useless to worry, let's take one step at a time." ”
Hongmei thought for a while and said: "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case, we still have to be prepared." ”
Mrs. Xu raised her eyes and looked at her with a hint of joy on her face and said, "Do you have a good way?"
Hongmei said: "It's not a good idea, but you have to do your best, and then listen to the destiny of heaven, right?"
Mrs. Xu said, "Let's hear it." (To be continued.) )
