Chapter 17: Gifts for the Festival of Lights
"I have long heard that Aunt Guan, you are beautiful and moving, you are a first-class beauty in Liuyin City, when I saw it today, it was really amazing!"
Tang Qing praised as soon as he came up, and also kindly held Xiao Ning's arm, yesterday's cold smoke dissipated, as if he had become another person.
Xiao Ning heard these praises and lowered her head shyly and timidly.
In Su Mansion, Xiao Ning had just arrived, and she didn't dare to hold it up, so she went up to talk to her.
The two reported each other's ages, and Tang Qing was still one year older.
This age is naturally based on Guan Qiutong's age.
Although Xiao Ning is two years older than him, he has been by Lin Rong's side for the past three years, and he doesn't need to do some heavy work, his hands are naturally white and smooth, but Tang Qing pinched and turned it left, and he couldn't see anything.
"I didn't expect that I was a year older than you, but I felt close to you when I met you for the first time, if you wanted, I would raise you in private, and call you a sister?"
Xiao Ning has no reason.
The two sat there talking, Tang Qing found an excuse to wander around, saw that the corridor was dark, and there was an embroidery frame, and he hurriedly went over to take a closer look.
This Guan Qiutong is especially good at embroidery among women of the same generation.
Lin Rongwei imitated her, and practiced for a period of time, and his hands were full of pinholes, and he could only barely embroider a few ordinary patterns.
However, before Xiao Ning entered the Lin family, she helped people sew and mend clothes, embroidered and embroidered to make a living, and she was naturally very skillful. It's more than enough to deal with these people.
Tang Qing sat in front of the embroidery frame and was amazed, and praised Xiao Ning's semi-finished embroidery, a picture of peony flowers.
Xiao Ning was naturally overjoyed when she was praised so much at the beginning, and she was a little kind to Tang Qing, as if she had found a confidant in this courtyard.
Seeing that the relationship had climbed, Tang Qing decisively stated the purpose of coming this time.
Three months later, it is the grand agricultural lantern festival once every ten years, and in this grand festival, although it is celebrated by the mansion, a few other friends will be invited to come to the mansion to toast together.
The key program of the Agricultural Lantern Festival is to offer gifts to the dragon king, which is not expensive, but only needs to show heart. Every year, the dragon king is sat at the head of the Su family and bowed down by everyone.
In previous years, it was all the people under her who embroidered a pair of works to hand in, but none of their things were so exquisitely embroidered by Xiao Ning, so she wanted Xiao Ning to help complete this year's gift.
Don't bother Xiao Ning to embroider too big patterns, but just ask Xiao Ning to help her embroider a delicate and charming silk handkerchief, she wants to hand it over to the head of the Su family. It's just that her embroidery is really unsightly, so she made this decision.
And Xiao Ning has a plan in her heart, since they also want to give gifts, this time, shouldn't she also give gifts herself, what should she give?
Tang Qing seemed to see through her thoughts at a glance, and said: "The Guan family is a businessman, so naturally it can't be compared with my family, so you must have prepared gifts." It's just that I have a suggestion, you might as well try it. ”
So, Tang Qing said the words in detail.
The head of the Su family suffered from leg disease when he fell since he was a child, which cannot be seen on weekdays, but every rainy season or wet weather, his legs and feet will be sore.
She has some herbs for dispelling wind and dissipating heat, supplemented by spices, which can make sachets for him to wear on his body all year round, which can have some pain-relieving effects.
Xiao Ning just couldn't find a way to please the head of the Su family, so she was naturally overjoyed when she heard this, but asked Tang Qing suspiciously, thinking of such a good way, why didn't she use it.
Tang Qing said with a smile: "This kind of secret thing is naturally kept secret outside the Su family, and I only heard her say it because I was often with Ruotan." ”
"But the Su family doesn't want to speak to outsiders, so how can I make my own claims. From this identity, Aunt Guan is naturally in line with the identity of this person, and she will give this most comfortable gift. ”。
When Xiao Ning heard this, she no longer had any doubts, happily accepted this proposal, and also agreed to Tang Qing's request.
