After my grandmother told my aunt to go back and pack up, I went to my grandmother's room and had a chat with her. Mother came. She was wearing a white satin dress with a plain silver lock on it. Although her makeup was still painted in a faint green color, it was obvious that she hadn't had a good rest last night.
Once upon a time, it was her and her grandmother who sat on either side of the kang table. I stood up to give my mother a seat, but my grandmother said, "Sit closer to me. As you get older, you can't see anything clearly." With an embarrassed expression, my mother sat down on my usual table.
After lunch with my mother in my grandmother's room, my mother gave me a wink. I said that I was tired and would like to go back to rest, so my grandmother said, "We still need to stay up late tonight. Let's all go down and rest." Unable to do anything else, the mother had to leave.
Walking out of the house, his mother said, "Come with me." I smiled brightly at her and said, "Grandmother told me to go back to my room and rest. You have always taught your daughter to listen to her elders, so she doesn't dare to disobey!" With that, he saluted and brought Lu Ping back to the courtyard.
I lay on the brick bed and looked at the flowers in the basket that looked like green duckweed embroidery. green duckweed came in with a happy expression and rubbed her hands in front of the brazier. "Miss, you're really amazing. Madam was so angry with you. You smashed two sets of pink tea sets." Lu Ping didn't know a lot of things. She only used her feelings to differentiate between good and bad people. She didn't know what kind of definition Lu Ping would have when she knew what I was scheming in my heart.
"Actually, it wasn't because I bravely rejected my mother." I explained with a smile. " It's because I don't dare to go. "
"Why not?" Lu Ping asked doubtfully.
"Because I don't do things that I'm not sure of. I don't know what her goal is, so this kind of temporary reaction is often exposed." Lu Ping nodded, "Miss is right. We should plan ahead of time when we do things. Just like how I would paint a picture of a flower before embroidering." I couldn't help but laugh. So what I did looked to her like she was embroidering.
Looking at Lu Ping who was sitting on my feet, I asked, "Are you willing to teach me?"
"Miss does not like embroidery the most. In the past, Miss even said that it was fortunate that Madame was reasonable and did not force Miss to embroider." I heard of my appearance in the past, as if the other world, so self-indulgent days I'm afraid there will never be. Seeing my dejected attitude, Lu Ping thought that she had said something that made me unhappy. She hurriedly said, "Miss is so smart. I'm sure you can learn it very quickly." Seeing her staring at me, afraid to miss the expression on my face, I giggled. "How shameless!" Lu Ping's face turned red as she muttered, "Miss has just learned it, of course I can teach you. If you are able to learn well, you will have to ask master to teach you."
Lu Ping gave me an embroidery thread and a needle. I usually see Lu Ping pierce the needle and it was very easy, but it was my turn to do it myself, and somehow, it was exceptionally difficult. Even after several times, I still couldn't pierce through the needle. Lu Ping put her work to the side and just stared dumbly at me as I pierced the needle. I felt even more embarrassed, so I just threw the needle away and said, "There's something wrong with your needle. It can't be pierced." Lu Ping picked up the needle that I threw and easily pulled the thread. Looking at how I was acting shamelessly, she felt a little helpless. It was the same in my previous life. At that time, I wanted to make a bellyband for my son, but my hands were clumsy. The maid helped me cut the material and sewed a plain apron. I only embroidered half a lotus flower and it took me several months. Could it be that there were people who weren't born to do this?
Miss, I heard that when other people marry a wife, they value sewing very much. How can you find a good wife like this?" What Lu Ping said was right. The more wealthy a family was, the more they valued their wife's cooking skills. "Even though she was wearing clothes and carried a handkerchief with needlework on it, and was not very good at embroidery, it would be very impressive if she had a good hand in embroidery. Whether it was a small gift or a task to give to her mother-in-law to wipe her forehead, the delicate embroidery work could still win over the relationship between the two.
"You little hoof, you keep asking to be married off. Have you taken a fancy to some servant girl?" "I asked Lu Ping with a smile." "Who is it? Tell me and I'll make the decision for you. I'll marry you in glory and make sure that he won't dare to bully you."
"How can you, who was being serious with you, be like this!"
"Alright, alright. I won't mention it again. After changing my clothes, we'll go to Grandmother's room."
"Isn't it a little early?"
"There's going to be a show tonight!"
Lu Ping gave me a lily bun, and with a pair of golden steps on her head, she wore a golden jacket and a light golden horse mask dress. She wore a light makeup, making her look both happy and upright.
Lu Ping has always been adept at color matching, her embroidery color bright, complex style, for me to match the clothes are also beautiful and appropriate.
When he left, his mother and grandmother were already sitting in the main hall drinking tea. His grandmother was wearing a pair of reading glasses as she looked at the account book in her hands.
"Alright, there's no need to recite it. I'm very at ease with what you do." When Grandmother saw me enter, she put down the account book in her hands. Mama Li stepped forward to take it back, but Grandmother passed the account book to Red Jade and said, "Eldest Miss is not young anymore. Let her learn to reconcile with you."
Red Jade was still holding the account book as she replied in a low voice, while her mother's face turned even paler.
"Your clothes today are quite handsome." Grandmother looked at me with a smile. "Your mother knows how to dress. You got her true inheritance." Every word from my grandmother was a compliment to my mother, but there was a hint of meaning behind it. My lady's clothes were rarely decided by herself, and if it wasn't my mother who was by my side, then it was the maidservants who prepared it for my mother; could it be that the maidservants in my room had learned from my mother? Since Grandmother said so, I naturally couldn't not accept it. I replied smilingly, "How can this be my granddaughter? It's that lass, Lu Ping. Her hands can even make colors. Granddaughter will wear them every day." His mother's face turned even uglier.
"Such a clever girl. I wonder who will marry her in the future!" I smiled and winked at her. She was fourteen this year, fifteen the next year, the rules of the family, and the girls would stay until she was seventeen, two years away.
"Master is here." His father was dressed in a raven green robe with his hair fixed in place by a jade hairpin. The black hair of the jade hairpin was sparkling, and his mother and a servant woman had already walked up to welcome him. The father took off his clothes and wore them, and the father looked at his mother with a smile on his face, but his mother frowned when she saw this scene. I couldn't help but smile.
