Chapter 314 Embroidery
If you don’t pretend to be a human being, what is the difference from a salted fish!
Mr. Zheng interpreted this sentence with his actions. After the poetry meeting, Mr. Zheng seemed to be addicted. , and even once condescended to teach Zhu Pingan to do stereotyped writing.
The fact that Zhu Pingan felt ashamed at the poetry meeting was also spread throughout the Linhuaihou Mansion under the intention of Mr. Zheng. As a result, there were many more versions about Zhu Pingan in the Marquis of Linhuai Mansion, and even a title of mediocre uncle.
Regarding this, Zhu Ping'an seemed to be fine. He should read books and practice calligraphy, and his life was no different from usual.
However, some people can't stand it. For example, when the little girl Baozi came to deliver a change of clothes to Zhu Ping'an, she puffed up her face and said a lot. Pan An is still alive, holding a fan and pretending to be a romantic talent, so shameless; there are still many people in the house talking badly about my uncle, why don't you write a poem to blind them.
"If you were bitten by a dog while walking on the road, would you bite the dog?" Zhu Pingan asked after the little maidservant had finished speaking.
"No way, I'm not a dog." Hearing the words, Baozi's little maid showed a dissatisfied expression on Baozi's face, and said angrily.
"Then I am the same." Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly.
"But, but many people in the house speak ill of my uncle. It is useless to say that my uncle eats soft food." The little maid of Baozi thought for a while, then pouted her mouth again, filled with righteous indignation, as if those people were talking about her.
"Low water makes a sea, and a low man makes a king." Zhu Pingan said softly, not paying attention.
The little maid of Baozi thought for a while after hearing the words, and then thought for a long time, finally shook her head and said two words, "I don't understand."
After finishing speaking, the little maid of Baozi looked at Zhu Pingan innocently, waiting for Zhu Pingan to explain to her.
"Well, to put it simply, I can blind them without pretending." Zhu Pingan rubbed his forehead,
The little girl Baozi understood this sentence, and her eyes lit up immediately. Although the little girl Baozi had never heard of pretense or something before, there were also some shameful words like bragging. As for blinding their dogs Eyes understand better. Anyway, in a few days, my uncle wants those people to look good.
The little maid of Baozi folded the clothes that Zhu Pingan had changed, and they will take them to the backyard to be washed later; , but after all, it's not as good as other people's buns and little maids, that's what their profession is.
Looking at the clean and tidy guest room, Baozi's little maid patted her chubby hands with satisfaction, her eyes bent like crescent moons.
Zhu Ping'an's generous thanks made Baozi's eyes look more like crescent moons.
When the little girl Baozi left with her clothes in her arms, Zhu Pingan put the money bag from last time on the clothes and asked the little girl Baozi to hand it over to Li Shu.
This money bag looks like the money bag of my daughter's family. The money bag is made of high-quality silk, which is soaked in a faint fragrance. There are embroidery on the money bag, but the embroidery is a bit weird, usually embroidered mandarin ducks or something. But this purse is embroidered with two fat ducks with anthurium and Qingbo!
It can only be said that Li Shu's hobbies are very unique, because this purse was sent by Li Shu when Zhu Ping'an went out with Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen last time, so it must be Li Shu's. Just as the little maid of Baozi returned to the backyard, Zhu Pingan returned the money and purse to Li Shu through the little maid of Baozi.
When the little maid of Baozi returned to the backyard with her clothes and purse in her arms, Li Shu was practicing embroidery in her room. There was an embroidery sample on the table, which showed a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water, but the semi-finished embroidery in Li Shu's hand was a fat duck paddling, and the other fat duck was half-embroidered
Embroidery, that is, a kind of female red, is an important way of "guiding" for girls by the family of etiquette and poetry in Ming Dynasty. In the early years, rich man Li also spent a lot of money to hire an embroiderer from the Gu family, which is famous for embroidery, but Li Shu was impatient with kneading needles and threads, and rich man Li also felt distressed. Instead of embarrassing Shu'er, it is better I will buy more embroiderers for her in the future, so Li Shu's learning to embroider will be over.
Li Shu just started to learn embroidery recently, and in the eyes of the little maid of Baozi, it was the young lady's whim. Up to now, Li Shu has only completed one and a half works. One is an embroidered money bag, and the other half is the unfinished insole in her hand. The insole is a bit big, so it must not be worn by her daughter.
"Miss, this insole is a bit big." After entering the door, the little maid of Baozi looked at the insole in her lady's hand and said with her mouth slightly open.
Li Shu looked up at the little maidservant, put down her needle and thread, stretched her sore wrist, and said casually, "Oh, I just started to learn embroidery, and I can't do it well, so it's a waste to throw it away. It's better to be cheap." Ping An, that stinky toad."
Oh, it turns out that the lady used the uncle to practice her hands, and gave it to the uncle if the embroidery was not good. The little maid of Baozi believed in the lady's words.
"Miss, my uncle is still here."
After pouring a glass of water for her young lady, the little maid of Baozi gave Li Shu the purse handed over by Zhu Pingan.
When Li Shu saw the purse handed over by the little girl from Baozi, her complexion turned bad all of a sudden, and her watery eyes seemed to be very angry.
"My uncle said thank you for the miss's rescue last time, and let me pay back the money this time." Baozi's little maid didn't see the change in her lady's expression, and said to herself.
"He said he wanted to pay back the money?" Li Shu's expression improved a lot when she heard this.
"Yeah." Baozi's little maid nodded and said.
"Put away the money and give him the wallet the next time you go to bring him a change of clothes. If it's not well embroidered, it's a waste to throw it away. It's better to save Zhu Pingan's stinky toad." Li Shu continued When he spoke, his expression had returned to normal.
"Yes, miss." Baozi's little maid nodded again and again.
The little maid of Baozi served tea and water in the room, and went outside during the break, handed Zhu Ping'an's clothes to the little maid in charge of cleaning, listened to the maid in the next courtyard chat for a while, and then trotted all the way Back to the room.
"Miss, I heard Qin'er from the next yard say that the grandma's nephew is pretending to be a genius with a fan. It's obviously not good at all, but he always shows off. The third lady and the others are making jokes behind their backs. I heard that the grandma's family My nephew's father is a great official, why is his son like this?" Baozi's little maid puffed her mouth in front of Li Shu.
"If it wasn't like this, why would my aunt introduce it to me? This was carefully selected by my aunt." Li Shu sneered, and the corners of her mouth were full of sarcasm.
"Grandma is good or bad" Baozi's little maid puffed up her mouth.
