At the beginning, after Master Zhizhen showed Li Qingyi his fate, the Lin family said that he would change his strategy, and now it seems that it is imperative.

Nan Zhu thought for a while and reminded: "It will be the old lady's birthday in a few days, and I heard that the eldest grandmother has discussed with several girls in the house to prepare a birthday gift for the old lady." ”

Lin breathed a sigh of relief, curled his lips and said, "Really? ”

"Well, maybe it's a good opportunity...... By the way, the eldest grandmother invited a few girls in the house to go boating on the lake, and also asked Miss Lin. ”

Lin Shi thought thoughtfully, "What has she been doing these two days?" ”

"Miss Lin is also making birthday gifts for the old lady these days, and every day in addition to coming to greet the princess, she is locked in the house alone to work."

"Oh? She'll look at the opportunity. Lin rubbed his forehead and asked with a smile, "What gift did she prepare?" ”

"Seeing that the autumn is about to begin, Miss Lin said that she wants to embroider a cloak, I heard that she is very popular, embroidered quickly and well, only a few days later, I was able to cut out a cloak and embroider the pattern, and it is about to be completed."

Lin was a little surprised: "Really? ”

"Yes, the slave and maid walked and saw it."

"If so, it's a bit of a use for her. Go, call her over, and say I want to see the birthday gift she has prepared for the old lady. ”

"Yes."

After a while, Lin Mi came with the cloak that worked day and night, "Mi'er greets the princess." ”

"Get up." Lin looked at the things in her arms and asked, "This is the birthday gift you prepared for the old lady?" ”

"Exactly." Lin Mi felt a little proud in her heart, and said modestly: "Mi'er has no ability, she can still do it with one hand, so she embroidered a cloak, hoping to make the old lady happy, so as not to lose the face of the princess and the Lin family." ”

This is quite true, Lin nodded, "Well, yes, you have a heart, bring it to me and show it." ”

Lin Mi was overjoyed to hear Lin's praise, and cautiously walked up to Lin's approach, shaking off the cloak in his hand.

This is a dark purple cloak embroidered with gold thread irises, the color is gorgeous but not ostentatious, the temperament is noble and introverted, it is very suitable for the style of the old lady. Then take a closer look at the pattern above, the petals of each iris are woven gold and feather thread are entangled and embroidered, and the colored velvet twisted edge is vivid and lifelike.

"You really made it yourself?"

Lin is well-informed, and they can't believe that this embroidery is from the hands of a teenage girl. It seems that Lin Mi is indeed very talented in this item.

She couldn't help but stand up and carefully rub the pattern on it, and praised it: "I didn't expect you to have such superb embroidery skills." ”

Lin Mi was praised and hurriedly said: "It's just crude craftsmanship, Mi'er is ugly." ”

"Where is this called offering ugliness, it is clearly a stunt, and the old lady will definitely like it very much." Lin Shi's gaze at Lin Mi was much gentler, no matter who it was, it should be impressive to be able to master an extraordinary skill.

When Lin Mi heard this, her eyes couldn't help but glow, it was in vain that she spent so much effort to make this cloak, and when the time came, she would have a long face for the princess and aunt in front of the old lady, and her aunt would definitely love and promote her a little more.

"It's just a heart, as long as the old lady can like it, Mi'er will be very happy."

Lin looked at her with satisfaction, and asked Nan Candle to go to her makeup and bring a pair of gold-inlaid jade lotus bracelets to Lin Mi: "You have done a good job, if you need anything, what is missing, just tell Nan Candle and let her get it." Let's take these bracelets and play with them. ”

"Aunt Xie loves."

Lin Mi Xizi went back to work with her cloak, Lin looked at her back, and said: "Before, I thought she was useless, but now it seems that there is some place to use, it's just that if she can do this thing now, I will let her do it." ”

On the old lady's birthday, everyone arrived at Jingyun Hall early to talk to her.

The daughters-in-law came forward to congratulate their birthdays, presented their own birthday gifts, and then boasted and praised each other, and they were harmonious and lively.

Everyone's birthday gifts were also very attentive, but the most eye-catching thing was a cloak that made everyone's eyes shine when it was presented.

The old lady was very surprised and asked, "Who is this cloak from?" ”

When Lin Mi heard the old lady's question, his eyes burst with joy.

Princess Lin stood up and bent her knees slightly, "Old lady, this cloak is from the hands of her daughter-in-law's niece. ”

Lin turned his head and motioned for Lin Mi to come forward to salute, Lin Mi hurriedly moved the lotus step, stepped forward and knelt in front of the old lady to bow down, "Lin Mi to meet the old lady, I wish the old lady a smile and a happy family forever!" ”

She is wearing a lotus lotus-colored embroidered begonia flower moon dress today, her face is ruddy and fair, her long eyebrows are curved, and her eyes are watery.

The old lady nodded slightly when she heard this, and asked, "Take this cloak and let me take a closer look." ”

"Yes."

Under the attention of everyone, Lin Mi pursed his lips and picked up the cloak from the tray, and then walked back to the old lady, shaking off the cloak, and in an instant, the iris embroidered on it was dazzling, and it caught the attention of the audience in an instant.

Li Qingyi was also surprised, this kind of embroidery work is difficult to do even in the Cuijin Building under the hands of the second aunt.

When the old lady saw this cloak, she couldn't help but stand up and take a closer look, and she could see that she liked it very much, "Yes, whether it's the color or the embroidery skills, this is what you embroidered?" ”

Lin Mixi smiled: "Back to the old lady, it was Mi'er's own embroidery." ”

"Okay, good girl, it's really a shame for you to spend so much effort!"

The old lady asked her to take a pair of excellent bracelets for the head of the water and gave them to Lin Mi, and Lin Mi hurriedly thanked her, "Thank you for the reward from the old lady." ”

Lin said: "This cloak can only be used in autumn, but since the old lady likes it so much, it is better to give it a try." ”

The old lady smiled when she heard this: "It's okay." ”

The girl was about to put on the cloak for the old lady, and someone outside Jingyun Hall said, "Old lady, the He family has come to celebrate her birthday." ”

As soon as she heard that the He family was coming, Gongsun Qing immediately changed color, and then the faces of the old lady, the Hong family and the others also sank.

Gongsun Nan said angrily: "They still dare to come to the door? ”

On the second day of Gongsun Qing's return to the house, Li Qingyi asked Xie Rao to show her body, as Gongsun Nan said, Gongsun Qing's heart was depressed, and it was purely a disease that was angered, thanks to her young age, she could also recuperate, if it was too old for a long time, the root of the disease would be difficult to remove, and people would have to linger on the sickbed when they reached middle age, and deal with medicine stones every day.

After that, the Hong family took someone to the door to Xingshi to ask for guilt, and in the past two days, it has spread outside, saying that the eldest girl in Zhenbei Wangfu is not a person, and she was abused in her husband's house, and she was so sick that she couldn't get out of bed, and her son-in-law came to the door with a concubine......

Of course, the rumors outside are also fueled by the Zhenbei Palace, all in order to prepare for Gongsun Qing's smooth departure.

The He family has been pointed at these days, hiding in the courtyard and not daring to come out. Unexpectedly, on the old lady's birthday today, they actually came to the door.
