"Besides, what is the use of having so many girls in your room? If I don't get them to help make the clothes for me, do I have to keep them for free? "

Xu Mingmei did not dare to tell Lady Ji that she would rather stay in the Drunken Star Residence to embroider than go to Master Fang's school.

Xu Mingwei was also aware of her situation. After hearing that, she smiled and said softly, "I'll be fine in the afternoon, I can also write. If Sixth Sister is willing, come and sit in my courtyard. The spring flowers on the east wall are blooming beautifully, why not set up an embroidery rack there and let the girls play there? "

In Xu Mingwei's memories, ever since she was three years old, the girls in the courtyard were either embroidered with a handkerchief or made it into her personal clothes. It was only until she reached Tianqi that she knew that there were no less than a hundred ways of fighting just based on the number of different types of knots and knots. This thing was also very useful. It could be used to decorate a bag, or it could even be used as a clothing accessory. It could even be used as a bag for holding items. It was both beautiful and practical.

It was a pity that the ancient dyeing techniques were not as good, as the color of the water would change after the thread was finished. Therefore, these knotted strings would not need to be used for long before the color would be changed. In such a big stall like the Xu family, just by exchanging the strings that were given off by Master Teng and selling the old threads back at a cheap price, the amount of oil in the middle was enough to feed several stewards.

Seeing that she, her master and her servant were serious, Xu Mingmei came over to take a look, and laughed, "Seventh Sister, are you prepared to give this to Brother Ming Xin? This color is extremely refreshing. It's just that the moon is so white that it's easy to get dirty.

"Fourth Brother likes to be a bit more elegant, but the girl in his room isn't. Every time I see the bright red and green color on his body, I can't help but want to laugh." Since he started it, he might as well do it to his liking. Whether or not he'll be able to take care of it will be up to his errand boy. "

Xu Mingwei answered while smiling, and took out the fan bag materials and patterns she prepared to give Xu Mingbai for her to see. Different from Xu Mingzhang's elegance, Xu Mingbai's fan bag was a sea blue color with Hai Dong Qing's picture.

"The other painting is the one Wan Feng helped color it earlier. Everyone has two sets, so they won't say that I'm biased."

"Mingbai and Mingxiang are so good to you, it's only right that you do something about it." Xu Mingmei joked.

Xu Mingwei laughed and continued to bind the silk threads together. When Wan Rou was almost done embroidering half a piece, she had just finished wrapping the thread in her hand with the link still unformed. Wan Rou originally wanted to take it over to do it, but she pushed him away. When the two came to fight, their strength would be uneven, and it would be difficult to relax.

Wan Rong was afraid that she was tired, hence she advised everyone to rest. She served some sweet snacks from the kitchen and some hot water from the water room, Wan Rong and Wan Feng helped their respective young masters wash their faces and wash their hands.

Only then did Wan Rou realize that Xu Mingwei's soft palm had been cut by that thread. There were a total of three cuts, big and small, which surprised the few girls from moon-nesting so much that they hurriedly went into the room to rummage for medicine bottles and clean bandages.

The injured person, however, did not mind and stopped Wan Yi and the others, saying, "It's just a little skin abrasion, it's not a big deal, there's no need to go through the medicine boxes."

However, Wan Yi did not listen to her. She jogged back into the house, and not long after, she returned with a small bottle of medicine in her hands.

Xu Mingmei saw that she still had a look of disapproval, and advised, "The wound on your hand cannot be sloppy, it would be terrible if it left a scar."

Everyone was so nervous, so Xu Mingwei could only extend her hand and let Wan Yi take out some ointment to apply on herself. It was cool and clear, with a slight scent of flowers. Why haven't I seen this thing in the room before? "

In the end, Xu Mingmei was still one year older than hshe, so when she saw the blue and white porcelain pattern, he knew what Wan Yi had taken out and explained, "This is Jade Dew Muscle Meat Ointment, a medicine made by Divine Doctor Hua. Most of it was sent to the palace, even if there is money outside, it cannot be bought. For example, the Seventh Sister, it would be better if it was applied at night. I only saw it on my mother's dressing table last year, and I bought it for my third aunt. Such a small box, it's enough to buy a house on West Street. At that time, I was curious and wanted to take a look, and my mother even told me about it. If I were to accidentally knock it over, my mother would probably skin me alive. "

Xu Mingmei spoke easily, but Xu Mingwei could hear a trace of loneliness in her tone. In the Xu family's fourth wife s, only her house and fourth wife had a dupe, the second house Lady Ji was a dupe, a good child like Xu Mingmei did not care too much about it, although her food and clothing did not hurt her, but her mental indifference was more terrifying. There's no need to speak about three rooms. With Mu Rong's beautiful personality, it would already be considered not bad if she didn't make her two daughters crooked.

She retracted her thoughts, turned and asked Wan Yi, "Where did this ointment come from, how come I don't even know it?"

Before Wan Yi could say anything, Wan Ting replied, "Miss went to Master Fang to do her homework, the servants forgot to mention, she was brought back from outside by the eldest young master, and specifically told the servants to take care of Miss when their families weren't here. If there is an extra scar on Miss's body, they would skin her off the servants."

Xu Mingwei thought that it was no wonder that she was so slightly injured, how could she be so nervous.

Xu Mingmei was a little envious when she heard it, "Brother Ming Bai treats you so well, if only I could have a brother like you."

Xu Mingwei advised her, "Sixth Sister, after a while, you will have a little brother.

Xu Mingmei did not reply, she smiled and continued to weave the handkerchief. Xu Mingwei's hands were smeared with ointment, and Wan Rong and the rest did not dare to let her attack them anymore. They could only sit beside Xu Mingmei and watch as she continued to fly like a needle, and before long, a pink and tender Plum Blossom bloomed on the handkerchief.

By the time the handkerchief was finished embroidering, it was almost time for dinner. Xu Mingwei wanted to keep her to eat in moon-nesting, so she also wanted to stay and accompany her there, so she asked Wan Feng to go to the second room to talk. Lady Ji was busy preparing the house, so she was too lazy to care which courtyard Xu Mingmei was resting in, hence she nodded in agreement.

The Nanny Xu in the big kitchen received the news that two young masters wanted to eat dinner in moon-nesting, and according to usual practice, there were three different vegetables and two meat dishes in the same courtyard. Since the two of them were eating together, they could not make two similar dishes, so they decided to make one of the Eight Treasures Duck, one of them was an lime brine chicken, one of them was a treasure that could be brewed into eight dishes, one of them was an emerald shrimp, and the other was fried some vegetables and a bitter gourd that was even more expensive than meat dishes.

Old Mrs Liu was originally in charge of the kitchen, but this time they went back to the Xu family together to pay their respects to the ancestors, leaving Nanny Xu and a few other helpers to take care of the second house's as well as the five girls's and seven girls's daily meals. Originally, they shouldn't have stayed in Nanny Xu. After all, in the future, the two girls would have to marry into someone else's family, and since the second house was unreliable, who would be willing to get close to an unpromising master? Therefore, they all curried favor with Old Lady Liu and followed her out. Rather than staying at home to enjoy the leisure, they might as well have a fight outside. When everyone went to work together, they left behind all the well-behaved people in the kitchen, of course, with the exception of the Nanny Xu.
