As my mother had said, the next day the dressmaker came to my door with two sizes, and the jeweller brought a drawing for me to choose from, and I chose a set of emeralds on the front, a set of plain silver and powdered, simple and generous.
When I went to Grandmother's room at night, my mother was picking out clothes with Grandmother. Grandmother was holding flowers and wearing flowers. She smiled and asked me, "Yuanyuan, take a look for Grandmother. Which one is pretty?" I went forward to take a closer look and pulled on Hundred Butterfly Flower's "I look at this and call you more". The Hundred Butterfly Dress Flower was red, the blooming flowers were red. At an old age, the flowers were naturally bright red.
"Your mother also said that Hundred Butterflies wore flowers well." "Yes, mother nodded at the side." "It seems like my eyesight has improved." I smiled brilliantly at my mother. Mother was pinching the handkerchief in her hand as her smile intensified.
"Boss isn't home, you guys need to bring more people with you when you go out." Grandmother sat on the kang while Aunt Chen took off Grandmother's shoes. A few days ago, his father left for Coldwater City. After the new year, the store would open and the owner would go to the store to check it out as usual.
"Wife knows." The mother lowered her head in agreement.
"What day is it?" His mother served him tea, and the two gold bracelets on his wrist jingled.
"This month's 27th, the old lady of the Xue Clan will be our birthday. Please come and join the liveliness!" Mother Du took the soft towel from her mother's hands and passed it to her grandmother.
"At my age, I'm not going to get in your way." Grandmother smiled as she put the towel in her hand into Mother Du's hands. "For an old woman like us, it's better not to go into the fun."
"Then I'm willing to find a good show!" Mother Du folded the handkerchief in her hands. "If Madame doesn't mind, then take me to see for myself. It's not like I've lived this long in vain." Mother Du had followed her grandmother from Jiangnan to Saibei, and had seen a lot. She said this to make her grandmother laugh.
My mother looked embarrassed, my grandmother winked at me, and I nodded that I understood. If she didn't do anything, why would she be afraid that her grandmother would send someone to follow her?
Mother Feng, who was standing beside her, laughed and stepped forward. "Old Ancestor, you have wronged our wife with your words, who doesn't know that Mother Du is the most indispensable person beside you? If even Mother Du went to eat with them, other people would think that Madam was jealous of the people in your room and would even want to snatch away Mother Du. "
Grandmother didn't want to send Mother Du to spy on her, she just wanted to test her. Grandmother understood, I understand, Mother Du understood, Mother Feng also understood, only Mother did not understand. It could be seen that the Lu family had also put in a lot of effort into sending this person over.
A few days later, the mothers by her mother's side carried three large boxes into the courtyard. Inside were all kinds of clothes and accessories, and Lu Ping called the maidservants in the courtyard to help her organize them into books. The maidservants carefully picked them up, and from time to time, exclamations of surprise could be heard, calling one of them to look at the earring in her hand, the other to look at the golden crown in her hand.
Lu Ping showed me the registered entry. She frowned and asked, "Miss, isn't this too much?" I looked at Lu Ping in praise. If it was in the past, Lu Ping would be extremely happy. But now, she knows that such a thing might not be good.
"Since mother gave it to me, then take it." I focused on the scented sachet in my hand. It took me about ten days to complete the sachet, unlike the usual scented sachet, which was either square or round. According to Gong's second wife's embroidery method, I cut the cloth to make the shape of a kitten, embroidered the shape of a kitten playing with a ball, and then placed a bell on the ball to dry the pear blossom.
Lu Ping looked at my scented sachet and said, "Miss sure has improved quickly. Right now, even I can't compare with her." Gong Er's Wife's embroidery technique emphasized on novelty. In terms of being exquisite, it naturally required more practice. It would take at least three to five years before she could catch up to Lu Ping's skilled craftsmanship.
"Who is going to give such a thoughtful item to?" Green Pine asked, holding a roll of silver thread I used to embroider a cat's beard.
"Of course it's for those who need it." I calmly replied, not stopping my work.
"On the night before the feast, I finally prepared the lotus pouches. The adorable kitten was poking at the bell ball with its fluffy paws, and could hear the crisp sound of silver bells as soon as it swayed. A faint fragrance wafted through the fabric, and the girl crawled up from the kang, grabbed the purse, and kept laughing. She kept shaking the pouches with her small hands. I smiled at her." It looks like our little girl really likes the pouches. "
"It's all madame's ingenuity. It's really rare to see something like this!" However, the work in her hands did not stop. On the flower shed, there was a piece of semi transparent gossamer silk embroidered with a dark red plum blossom, which was used to fan the fan. Ever since she entered my house, she had never stopped doing her work.
The bell outside rang, "It's time, take the girl back." A few days ago, when Gong Er left to take care of some errands, Gong Er's wife had always been staying in the house with her daughter. Today, when Gong Er came back, Gong's mother had said that she wanted her daughter-in-law to return early.
Gong's wife had a faint smile on her face, looking calm and happy. She put away her needle and thread and was about to take the girl from me, but the girl held the purse in one hand, put her other hand around my neck, and started crying.
I smiled as I stroked her trembling back. "I've earned so much. Being with me for a few days is even more intimate than having you give birth to her." Gong's second wife laughed as she pointed at the girl's head and said, "You little heartless child, even your parents won't recognize you!" These words amused the maidservants in the room.
Lu Ping brought out a small cloth tiger. Recently, Lu Ping had been in a hurry to make it. It was bright in color, and with a flick of its beard, it looked very cute. The girl stared fixedly at the tiger, and was about to loosen her hold on me, but Gong Er's wife took the opportunity to hug her, and took the bag away from her, while the girl held the tiger with both hands, Gong Er's wife bent down to put the bag on the table, not wanting to be young, the tiger pillow had some weight, so she fell to the ground and started crying loudly, as she beat on the back of Gong Er's wife with her small hands, her face was flushed red with grievance.
"There's really no place for reason." Gong Er's wife laughed and sighed, pretending to be extremely helpless, everyone was teased and laughed out loud.
When Gong Er's wife left, Niu'er had already fallen asleep with her head tilted to the side, her hand still tightly holding onto the cloth tiger's ear. I touched her head, and her mouth moved as if she was reciting something, then Gong Er's wife hugged her and saluted while being sent out by Lu Ping.
