Concubine Raiders

See the legitimate mother asked, eleven Niang stood up respectfully should a "is", way: "just learned some fur."

Seeing her modest attitude, the eldest lady nodded her head.

"April 24 is the birthday of Mrs. Tai of the Marquis of Yongping. I asked your fifth sister to write a hundred characters of "longevity" in different fonts. You should embroider a screen with "double-sided embroidery" and take it to Yanjing to make a birthday gift for Mrs. Tai. "

Luo yuanniang, the eldest daughter of the Luo family, married Xu Lingyi, the Marquis of Yongping.

The taimadame of Yongping Marquis's house is Luo yuanniang's mother-in-law and the eldest wife's in laws.

The eldest son of the Xu family died, the second died of illness, and the third came from the common family. Unexpectedly, the title was inherited by Xu Lingyi, the fourth son. As Xu Lingyi's sister-in-law was canonized as Queen by the new emperor two years ago, the Xu family has become a popular meritorious family in Dazhou. The status of Luo yuanniang, the wife of Yongping Marquis, has risen. Both in the circle of ladies in Yanjing and in the Luo family in the south of the Yangtze River, they have become more and more important. And too madam's birthday gift, of course, has become the first big event that needs the eldest wife to rack her brains to undertake.

Knowing the importance of things, eleven Niang hesitated and said: "although my daughter can embroider double-sided embroidery, her skills are not perfect. Yanjing is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. I'm afraid that I will lose the face of my elder sister... "

Without waiting for her to finish her words, the eldest lady had already said with a smile: "if you want to speak of exquisite skills, who can compare with the people in the palace sewing bureau? We send a "hundred longevity embroidered screen" in the past, which is just a token of our feelings. "

So is it. No matter how good her craftsmanship is, she is better than those xiunians who have been selected from all over the country to study for survival. The things sent by the Luo family are more valuable than the reward from the emperor.

Eleven Niang was relieved and asked the eldest lady with a smile: "I don't know what good day my mother chose to send someone to Yanjing to send birthday gifts?"

"The sixth day of March." The old lady said with a smile, "I read the Yellow calendar. The first six years old Sha Xi, avoid opening positions, suitable travel friends. No matter how early, there is no such a good day. No matter how late, we are afraid of delay on the way. "

Eleven Niang tiny a ponder, on the face shows hesitant color.

Looking at this, the eldest lady asked with concern: "is there any difficulty?"

Eleven Niang hesitated: "this double-sided embroidery is no more than single-sided embroidery. It takes three times more time than single-sided embroidery I reckon it's a little tight! "

"How can that be good?" The old lady frowned. "It took me half a month to think about this good idea. In this way, isn't it necessary to choose a new birthday gift? I don't know whether to come or not. Even if it's time to send something, it's worrying

Where is the foundation of Luojia's officials from generation to generation. Even if there is nothing rare, it is not difficult to find something auspicious to make a birthday gift? Or, what's special about the birthday of Mrs. Tai of the Marquis of peace

Eleven Niang thought, raised the eyelid quickly to five Niang one eye.

She sat beside the old lady with a cup of tea, looking at her nose and nose, and looking at her heart, she turned a blind eye to her words.

Eleven Niang can't help but move in her heart.

It is not easy for the eldest wife to embroider a hundred "longevity" characters on both sides, but it is also difficult for Wu Niang to write 100 characters with different characters. In front of such a problem, Wuniang, who has always been exquisite, suddenly becomes silent.

She thought that the eldest lady had just entered with the help of Wu Niang.

In this way, Wu Niang either did not feel embarrassed and readily responded; or although she felt embarrassed, she thought that it was more difficult to embroider a hundred "Shou" characters than to write one hundred "longevity" characters, waiting for her to refuse. In this way, the eldest lady will only blame herself for the failure of this matter.

In either case, the present situation can not be denied by her.

What's more, she didn't mean to refuse the eldest lady at all.

It's just that she doesn't want to be as straightforward as she promised. She thinks it's very simple to embroider a hundred "longevity" characters, so she turns a blind eye to her hard work

The idea is a flash.

She has already pondered: "otherwise, let master Jian help..."

"How can that work?" Without waiting for eleven Niang's words to finish, the eldest wife immediately denied her proposal, "sending this hundred birthday embroidered screen book is to show the sincerity of our Luo family. What's the meaning of letting others start to embroider?"

Eleven Niang listens to the facial expression is crimson, murmur a way: "it is the daughter wants to deviate! Mother, don't blame me

The first lady sighed.

Eleven Niang listened to a pair of uneasy appearance, busy way: "otherwise, let daughter try..."

The big lady's eyes brightened: "how sure are you?"

Eleven Niang sank for a long time and whispered, "I get up early and go to bed late, and then let Holly help me to divide the thread and thread the needle It's always faster. " Not sure.

The eldest wife thought for a long time and did not agree.

Eleven Niang looked a little depressed.

Wu Niang said with a smile: "I also get up early and go to bed late. I have finished writing a hundred characters of" longevity "in two days. I don't know if eleven sister's assurance will be greater. "

Eleven Niang spirit a vibration, smile way: "I originally calculate five elder sister want half a month. If it only takes two days, you will be able to catch up. "In fact, she made up her mind to make two copies of the character "Shou" written by Wu Niang. She asked master Jian to find someone to embroider a pair of them and embroider one by herself. Whoever finished the embroidery first would be handed over to the other. If the eldest lady suspects that she will not let go of her mouth, she will still find someone to confront her? Even if she's looking for confrontation, can master Jian beat herself up?

After hearing this, the eldest lady was also happy: "in this case, your sisters have worked together to finish the hundred birthday embroidery screen. Also for your elder sister long face. Let the people in Yanjing see our Luo family's daughter. They not only know the present and ancient conditions, but also worship the rites of sages. "

There is a family motto written by Ji Gong, the ancestor of Luo family, to Luo's daughter. Before Luo's female literacy, she first read Ji Gong Nu Xun, and then read Nu Jie and neixun. These two sentences are the contents of the family motto. But when the eldest lady used it at this time and this kind of place, how could eleven Niang listen to it!

But who would be an idiot to question the first lady?

Eleven Niang and five Niang stood up and half squatted to the eldest wife and respectfully answered "yes".

The eldest lady was very satisfied with their attitude and nodded slightly. As if thinking of something, he asked his daughter-in-law Wu Xiao's family: "I remember that the nurse in eleven Niang's house was left in Fujian..."

Wu Xiao's family rushed forward to reply: "at that time, Miss 11's nurse didn't want to leave home, so she didn't follow."

"Well!" The eldest lady's jaw is slightly head, "then pull out the amber to miss 11's room and give it to her..."

Eleven Niang was shocked.

Pull the amber into your room. What about Holly?

Did mother Yao really persuade the eldest lady to give Holly to her nephew, so the first lady pulled out the amber to let each other know each other well. When she gave out holly, her room would not be disordered.

Thinking of these, eleven Niang's heart was like a river and a sea, unexpectedly had a grudge.

After three years of business, she managed to cultivate feelings with the people around her, so that they could act according to their own will. However, the first lady suddenly put her maid beside her It's like sleeping on the side of a couch, even if it's not malicious, it's disturbing.

But she didn't dare to show any sign on her face and hesitated for a moment on her mouth. "Mother, how can this be done? Sister amber, you are the best. What will you do if you give it to me? "

The first lady waved her hand with a smile, indicating that she would not say more.

"The ladies of our family and the people around us are all custom-made." She solemnly said to her servant girls and daughter-in-law, "they are daughters-in-law with two big maids, two small maids, a nurse, and two rude maidens. Now eleven Niang's nurse has stayed in Fujian. I'll add a maid to fill in the shortage of nanny It's not a violation. "

The people around him say "yes" or "Zhou Xiang, the wife thinks about". The Wu Xiao family members even said with a smile: "according to the truth, the eldest lady should have made up for this vacancy in Miss 11's room. Now, I don't know if I want to save a few years' monthly money, or I really didn't think of it? "

Everyone laughed.

The eldest lady laughed, too.

Wu Xiaoquan is the chief manager of the Luo family, the son of the Xu family and the companion of the eldest wife.

She has always been tolerant of these people!

Everyone laughed for a while, and the first lady looked at the eleventh Niang: "as for the holly in your room..." She had a pause.

Or because the arrival of amber made her wake up completely, and knew how fragile the castle she had built in front of the eldest lady, no, or in other words, how weak it was in the hands of the superior. She has always been very calm, she suddenly became impetuous. The short stay made her sweat through her back and her heart pounded.

It turns out that this is the feeling of "I'm a fish and a man is a chopper"!

Eleven Niang put on the skirt of the hand tightly clenched into a fist, nail pinched in the meat also do not feel pain.

We have to find a way to change our situation It's hard to leave your destiny in the hands of others!

“…… She is also free from her duties, so that she can serve you wholeheartedly, so that you can embroider a hundred birthday screen with peace of mind. " The big lady's voice seemed far away in the sky and near her ears, making her brain "buzzing". "Amber is a capable man. I can rest assured that she will serve you. After that, I'll leave it to her. "

Now that she had no resistance, she did not want to refute.

Eleven Niang forced herself to clean up her mood.

Her top priority is to deal with everything in front of her.

Eleven Niang showed the expression of shame and squatted down to the eldest wife and gave her a blessing: "thank you, mother!"

That's it A little tired on her face, she told Wu Xiaoquan, "I'll tell you the size and style of the screen, so as not to darken their eyes. You can come back to me when their sisters have made a deal

Wu Xiao's family responded with a smile.

"You go down!" she said

There was no mention of the marriage of holly.Forget it?

Or is this not the time?

Eleven Niang can't help but look at Yao's mother standing far behind the eldest wife.

Yao's mother also looked over.

Their eyes collided in the air. Eleven Niang saw the other side does not retreat in the eyes.

She suddenly mourned for herself.

Now she has only the ability to fight people like Yao's mother!
