Chapter 332: The Handkerchief (Second Watch)
Han Youning stretched his waist and looked at the handkerchief in his hand with satisfaction.
The azure plain silk is surrounded by dark blue edges, and a cluster of purple bamboos is embroidered on one of the corners.
Once raw and twice ripe, this time not only embroidered quickly, but also looked slender and a lot more spiritual.
When Han Sixing came in, he saw his sister looking very satisfied, and smiled with satisfaction at the handkerchief in his hand.
Han Sixing took the handkerchief with his hand, unfolded it and looked at it, frowning.
Han Youning looked at him expectantly, "How is it? Isn't it elegant?"
Han Sixing put down the veil and looked at his sister solemnly, "Did you embroider a purse for the prince?"
Han Youning carefully folded the handkerchief and put it in a flat brocade box, "Yes, what the prince told you?"
"Not really."
It's just that recently everyone has noticed that the prince of Jin has changed a purse, and the things embroidered on it are guessed by some people to be plantains, and some people guess to be bamboo. One side said that there were no such fat leaves of bamboo, and the other side said that there were not so many small leaves, and they made a bet on this.
He bet a tael of silver on the plantain.
Just wait to ask King Jin in person today what is on the purse.
He didn't expect that it was embroidered by his own fat girl.
I didn't expect that the fat girl had lost a lot of weight in the past few days, and the embroidered things had also lost weight.
At this point, it looks ......
He asked, "Are you embroidering bamboo?"
"Of course. Do you need to ask?" Han Youning looked at his brother's face, "Why does the eldest brother have a bad face?"
Han Sixing sighed heavily, "It's okay......
"Oh." Han Youning put the brocade box in Han Sixing's hand, "Give it to the prince for me."
There were still a few days to get married, and her father didn't let her meet Zhao Chengyuan again, so she had to ask Han Sixing to send it to Zhao Chengyuan.
Today, the prince's mansion held a banquet to invite the royal family and nobles, and the eldest brother was among the invitees.
Han Sixing looked at the brocade box in his hand for a long time, and finally sighed and went out of the room.
As soon as he walked out of the door, he retreated back and said earnestly, "Sister, it's okay to practice embroidery."
Seeing his sister's dazed face, he sighed again, closed the door and left!
Han Youning continued to struggle and sewed bed clothes for Zhao Chengyuan.
Chu Jingjing pushed the door in, followed by two mothers-in-law, carrying a screen.
She instructed her mother-in-law to put it down, and Fang Xiaoyin sat opposite Han Youning, "The valuables in my hands were all given by the eldest lady, and I can't return them again." When I was young, I worked as an embroiderer, and I could embroider on both sides, and this screen will be used as my makeup for you."
"Double-sided embroidery? I've heard it's a very difficult craft."
Han Youning got up in surprise and circled around the screen.
One side of the screen is a rich peony, one side is a landscape and quiet, the flowers seem to be fragrant, the water seems to be murmuring, extremely realistic. On the one hand, it is life, on the other hand, it is the state of mind, and the meaning is also excellent.
I didn't expect that Chu Jingjing still had such a great ability.
Thinking of Brother Fang Cai's serious and resentful words when he left, Han Youning really felt the gap between "good embroidery" and "good embroidery".
"It will take several years for the second aunt to embroider this screen, right?"
Chu Jingjing said with a smile, "It doesn't have to be a few years, this is embroidered three years ago, and recently you are going to get married, so I stepped it up, and it was just embroidered two days ago."
She was a little embarrassed and said, "I can't afford the expensive shelf, so I only have the wenge shelf." Don't dislike it, Miss."
Han Youning helped her pour tea with her own hands and said with a smile, "How could I dislike it. Double-sided embroidery on the market is rare, let alone such a large screen. If it is sold in the shop, I am afraid that two thousand taels of silver will be robbed. The makeup given by the second aunt is already expensive just by the price. What's more, this is embroidered by the second aunt herself, and the affection is even more precious."
Chu Jingjing saw that she knew the goods and knew her own intentions, and the smile on her face was a little more full, "Lian'er and I don't know how many good things the eldest lady has, and we have always been grateful to the eldest lady
This is really nothing."
Han Youning ordered the screen to be carried to the treasury and placed it with the dowry that had been selected before.
Chu Jingjing smiled brighter and brighter, "If the eldest lady has a favorite embroidery pattern, tell me, if I embroider faster, such a big screen will be made in two years."
Han Youning said with a smile, "The second aunt is the second lady of the dignified Guogong Mansion, where is the reason for embroidering all day long. The second aunt has nothing to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Chu Jingjing sneered and looked at the autumn leaves guarding the room.
Han Youning said, "Autumn leaves go out and guard."
Akiba went out and closed the door.
Chu Jingjing stepped forward and said in a low voice, "I thought about it all night last night, and the more I thought about Wan'er's matter, the more unreliable I became. If she becomes the crown princess, I'm afraid she won't let you and me get better in the first place. If she can't become the crown princess......
She looked at Han Youning with a solemn face, "I'm afraid that she will implicate the entire second room."
Han Youning remained silent, "What kind of implication method will it be?"
Chu Jingjing lowered her voice, "The Queen Mother and the Emperor do not approve of Wan'er entering the Prince's Mansion, if the Prince insists on going his own way, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will find an excuse to attack Wan'er." The big house has the grandfather of the country and the protection of the king of Jin, so he is naturally safe and sound. But we have two rooms, who can easily get rid of the relationship?"
Han Youning was willing to cooperate with her from the beginning, because she knew that although Chu Jingjing was utilitarian, she was also clear-minded, and she was a rare person who understood.
She can see this step, it is not easy.
Han Youning smiled and reassured, "Second aunt relax, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge."
Chu Jingjing was relieved to see that although she didn't say it explicitly, she also had the intention of protecting each other.
This kind of thing, which concerns the royal family, really can't be said explicitly.
--
The prince's mansion held a banquet, and all the children of the clan and the princes were invited.
They are all young people, and there is no restraint from the elders, so the atmosphere is more lively.
Although there was some unpleasantness at the palace banquet a few days ago, the third prince Zhao Yin still came, he thought he was open, while the others pretended to believe it, but they were also happy.
When Zhao Chengyuan arrived, the noisy young people all quieted down, and the rules were in order.
Their faces were full of disbelief, this kind of banquet Jin Wang Ye never attended, even if the host personally sent an invitation, he would not go to the banquet.
Today is here!
Zhao Chengyuan said lightly, "You can just feel free."
He said so, but who could be at will?
The banquet hall where he was still silent was still silent.
However, Han Sixing swaggered, and stepped forward as the eldest brother and said angrily, "The prince is here?"
Zhao Chengyuan smiled, "The prince is also here."
This politeness made Han Siqi quite useful, especially when he felt the amazed eyes of everyone around him, which was even more useful.
He took out a brocade box from his bosom and handed it over, "Ouch, for someone else."
Zhao Chengyuan opened the brocade box, and saw a azure handkerchief, the color was extremely elegant, and there was a cluster of purple bamboo in the corner, and finally there was the appearance of bamboo.
He took it out with a smile and put it in his arms, "Thank her for me."
