Chapter Three Mother
Seeing her aunt's question, lady eleven stood up and respectfully responded with a "yes" and said, "I just learned something."
Seeing her respectful attitude, the lady nodded invisibly.
"April 24 is the birthday of Yongping Marquis Residence Mrs. Tai. I will ask your fifth sister to write a hundred "shou" characters in different fonts. Then you can embroider a screen with "double-sided embroidery" and take it with you. Yanjing gave Mrs. Tai a birthday gift."
Luo Yuanniang, Miss Luo's family, married Hou Xu Lingyi, Yongping.
Mrs. Tai of Yongping Marquis Residence is Luo Yuanniang's mother-in-law and the eldest wife's in-laws.
The father of Xu’s family passed away, the second son died of illness, the third son was born, and the title was unexpectedly inherited by the fourth son Xu Lingyi. With Xu Lingyi’s sister being canonized as a queen by the new emperor two years ago, the Luo family became a hot family of meritorious services in the Great Zhou, and the status of Luo Yuanniang, the wife of Yongpinghou, has also risen. The Luo family, which is still far away in the south of the Yangtze River, has become more important. And Mrs. Tai's birthday gift naturally became the first major event that required the big wife to rack her brains to undertake.
Knowing the importance of the matter, lady eleven couldn't help but hesitate to say, "Although her daughter can embroider double-sided embroidery, but her skills are not good. Yanjing hides the dragon and the tiger, and she is afraid that she will lose her eldest sister's face..."
Before she could finish her words, the eldest wife laughed and said, "If you want to talk about superb skills, who can be better than the people at the needlework bureau in the palace? We send a "Baishou embroidery screen" to the past, it is just a show of our hearts. ."
Too. No matter how good his craft is, it is no better than those embroidered women who were selected from all over the country to learn for survival; the things sent by the Luo family are no more valuable than the emperor's reward.
"The sixth day of March." The eldest wife smiled, "I read the almanac. When I was six years old, I shouldn't open a position and start a business. It is better to travel and meet friends. No matter how early, there is no such good day, no matter how late, I am afraid that the road will be delayed."
Lady eleven thought for a moment, and hesitation appeared on her face.
The eldest wife looked at her and asked with concern, "Are there any difficulties?"
Lady eleven hesitated, "This double-sided embroidery is no more than single-sided embroidery. It takes three times more flowers than single-sided embroidery... I think the days are a bit tight!"
"How is this good?" Mrs. frowned, "I thought about this good idea for more than half a month. In this way, would I have to re-select the birthday gift? I don't know if it will be too late. Even if it is coming. It’s a matter of time, it makes me worry about what to send!"
The roots of Luo family officials and eunuchs are there. Even if there are no rare things, it is not difficult to find something auspicious for birthday gifts, right? Or, what is so special about Mrs. Tai’s birthday in Ping An Hou Mansion...
Lady Eleven thought, lifted her eyelid and quickly glanced at Wu Niang.
She sat next to the big lady with the tea cup, watching her nose and heart, and ignored what the big lady said.
lady eleven couldn't help but move in her heart.
It is certainly not easy for Mrs. Wu to embroider a hundred "shou" with double-sided embroidery, but it is equally difficult for Fifth Mother to write a hundred "shou" with different fonts. With such a difficult problem ahead, Fifth Mother, who has always been exquisite, suddenly became silent.
She thought again that Mrs. Wu had just walked in with Wu Niang's support.
From this point of view, Fifth Mother either did not feel embarrassed, and readily responded; or, although embarrassed, she thought that embroidering one hundred "shou" characters is more difficult than writing one hundred "shou", and waited for her to come. Refuse. In this way, the big lady would only count the reasons for the failure of this matter to herself.
In either case, the current situation cannot allow her to refuse.
Besides, she didn't mean to reject the big lady at all.
It's just that I don't want to be as refreshing as I promised, so that the big lady thinks embroidering a hundred "shou" characters is a very simple thing, so she ignores her hard work...
Thoughts pass by in a flash.
She already pondered, "Or, let Master Jian help..."
"How can it work!" Before lady eleven had finished speaking, the eldest wife immediately denied her proposal. "This Baishou embroidery screen is given to show the sincerity of our Luo family and let others embroider. What's the point? ?"
Listening to her face flushed, lady eleven murmured, "It's the daughter who is wrong! Mother, don't blame it."
The lady sighed as she listened.
Lady eleven looked uneasy, and hurriedly said, "Or, let my daughter try..."
The lady's eyes lit up, "How sure are you?"
Lady eleven took a long while and said in a low voice, "I will get up early and go to bed late, and let Dong Qing help to divide the thread and thread the needle... It can always be faster." Not very sure.
The eldest lady thought for a long time without comment.
lady eleven looked a little depressed.
Fifth Mother smiled and said, "I also get up early and go to bed late. I have written one hundred'shou' characters in two days. I wonder if the eleventh sister will be more certain."
Lady eleven lifted up and smiled, "I thought that the fifth sister would be more than half a month old. If it only takes two days, it will naturally be able to catch it."
She actually made up her mind to trace the word "Shou" written by Fifth Mother in two copies, and let Master Jian find someone to embroider one, and embroider one by herself. Whoever embroiders it first will give it to him. In case Mrs. Da is suspicious, she insists on not letting go, is she still looking for someone to confront her? Even if she is confronted, Master Jian can still speak up?
The eldest lady became happy when she heard this. "If this is the case, then you sisters will work together to complete this Baishou embroidery screen. It will also give your eldest sister a long face. Let the people of Yanjing see that our daughter of the Luo family not only knows the present and ancient situation. , And honor the sage's courtesy."
The family motto of the Luo family's ancestor Ji Gong wrote to the Luo family's daughter. Before Luo's female literacy, read "Ji Gong and Women Training", then "Female Commandments" and "Internal Training". These two sentences are the content of the family motto. But the old lady is used at this time and this kind of place, how awkward lady eleven listens!
But who would be an idiot to question the old lady?
Lady Eleven and Fifth Mother stood up and squatted to bow to the old lady, and respectfully responded "Yes".
The eldest wife was very satisfied with their attitudes and nodded slightly. As if thinking of something, I asked the wife and family of Wu Xiao, "I remember, the nanny in lady eleven's house stayed in Fujian..."
Wu Xiao’s family hurriedly stepped forward and replied, “At that time, Miss Eleven’s nanny did not want to leave her hometown, so she didn’t follow.”
"Yeah!" The eldest lady chinked slightly, "Then take Amber to Miss Eleven's room and give her..."
lady eleven was stunned.
Pull Amber into your house, what about Dong Qing?
Did Mother Yao really move the eldest wife to ration Dong Qing to her nephew, so the eldest wife pulled Amber over to make each other familiar with each other, and the house won’t be messed up when Dong Qing is assigned out A square inch.
Thinking of this, lady eleven felt like she was overwhelmed, and she had a faint resentment.
After three years of business, she managed to develop feelings with the people around her, so that they could act according to her own wishes, but the eldest wife suddenly put her maid by her side... This is like being on the side of a couch. , It is disturbing to have someone snoring, even if it is not malicious.
But she didn't dare to show anything on her face, she didn't dare to hesitate for a moment. "Mother, how can this be done? Humber sister is powerful by your side. Give it to me, what do you do?"
The big lady smiled and waved her hand, motioning her not to say more.
"The lady in our house, the people who serve by her side are all custom-made." She said to the maidservant and daughter-in-law beside her sternly, "They are all equipped with two big maids, two little maids, one nanny, two thick Daughter-in-law. Now that lady eleven’s nanny is in Fujian, I will add another maid to her and fill in the nanny... it’s not illegal."
People around him either said "what the big lady said," or "the big lady considered Zhou Xiang." Then Wu Xiao’s family even laughed and said, “It is reasonable to say that the eldest wife should have filled up the vacancy in Miss Eleven’s room too early. I really didn't expect it?"
Everyone laughed.
The old lady also laughed.
Wu Hyo-jeon is the chief manager of the Luo family, the Xu family has children, and the wife's companion.
She has always been very tolerant to these people!
Everyone laughed for a while, the eldest lady looked at lady eleven "As for Dong Qing in your room..." She paused.
Or it was because Kohaku's arrival made her sober up completely, knowing that the castle she had built with all her strength was in front of the lady, no, or how weak it was in the hands of the superior. She has always been able to calm down and suddenly became impetuous. The short stay made her sweat all over her back suddenly, and her heart throbbed.
It turns out that this is the feeling of "I am a fish, and I am a knife"!
Lady eleven's hands on the side of her skirt were tightly clenched into fists, and her nails didn't hurt when pinched in the flesh.
You have to find a way to change your situation... This feeling of letting someone else control your fate is too uncomfortable!
"...I also spared her errands, let her serve you wholeheartedly, so that you can embroider the Baishou screen with peace of mind." The voice of the big lady seemed to be far away in the sky and close to her ears, making her mind." Buzzing. "Amber is a capable person. I can rest assured that she will serve by your side. From now on, leave the affairs in your house to her!"
At this point, she didn't have the ability to resist, so she didn't want to refute anything.
lady eleven forced herself to clean up.
Her priority is to deal with everything in front of her well.
lady eleven showed a look of shame, and squatted to give the big lady a blessing "Thank you mother!"
"That's it!" The big lady showed a bit of tiredness on her face, and told Wu Xiaoquan, "I will tell the two young ladies about the size and style of the screen, so that they don't have their eyes darkened. Wait for their sisters to discuss it. , You call me back and forth again."
Wu Xiao's family responded with a smile.
The eldest wife brought tea, "Go down!"
No mention of Dong Qing's marriage at all.
Did you forget?
Or is it because now is not the time?
Lady Eleven couldn't help but glanced at Yao's mother who was standing far behind the big lady.
Mother Yao also looked over.
The eyes of the two collided in the air. Lady eleven saw the other side's uncompromising eyes.
She suddenly felt sad for herself.
Now she can only fight against someone like Yao's mother!
