Concubine Raiders

Eleven Niang took out the picture of longevity embroidered by master Fu in her purse and spread it on the table. Then she looked at the half finished work on the embroidery frame and sighed gently.

"Miss, do we want to continue to embroider?" Holly hesitated a little.

"Continue to embroider, of course." Eleven Niang said with a smile, "although I am inferior to master Jian in terms of embroidery skills and speed, have you found that the character" Shou "I embroidered now has a great improvement compared with the word" Shou "just embroidered

Dongqing held the lamp, looked at it carefully for a long time, nodded and said, "it's different from before. I feel that your needle angle is smoother and finer than before..."

Eleven Niang nodded and said with a smile: "so, this is also an opportunity to hone embroidery skills!"

Dongqing smiles and says, "Miss, go to bed early today. With this hundred birthday picture embroidered by master Jian, you will have something to hand over."

This period of time day and night staring at the square inch square, the eyes are a little painful. It's no wonder that many embroidering mothers are blind after their thirties. It's really a job to eat the rice of youth. Like master Jian, it's a good way to teach embroidery to rich and noble families, but the requirements for embroidery are also very high

Eleven Niang thought and said with a smile, "go to bed early today. It's the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month. Let's give ourselves a holiday when others go out to have fun

Holly covered her mouth and laughed, arranged for Zhu Xiang to watch the night, and personally served eleven Niang to rest. Then she returned to her own residence.

After amber came, Dongqing and binju gave her the room near the window. Amber had also been modest. On the one hand, Dongqing and binju were used to living together. On the other hand, they were wary of amber, so they refused and crowded with Qiuju and Zhuxiang.

When she entered the door, neither binju nor Qiuju slept. They were nestling in binju's bed to see the flowers she had saved, and to discuss what kind of lace would be embroidered on the thread taking skirt next spring.

Seeing Holly coming in, Qiuju immediately jumped out of bed to meet him: "Miss rest!"

Holly nodded.

Qiu Ju gave her a face wash: "what did master Jian give you to miss?"

"Dongqing said with a smile:" is to write a letter to greet the young lady

Qiu Ju Yan Lu envied: "miss and master Jian have a good relationship!"

"That's nature." Dongqing said with a smile, "otherwise, with so many people learning from her, how could she only pass on the unique skill of" double-sided embroidery "to our young lady

Qiuju nodded and said, "sister Dongqing, if I serve the young lady well and let her pass on this unique skill to me, will she agree?"

"I can't say that either!" Dongqing said with a smile, "but usually, who comes to ask for help in the mansion, the young lady is also dedicated to help. If you're really interested, you might as well ask miss one of these days

Qiuju nods and wants to say something. Binju on one side has already said with a smile: "it's getting late. In the early morning of tomorrow, elder sister Dongqing has to serve the young lady to embroider the screen. Let's not talk about it for a while. Let's have a rest." Said, began to collect a bed of flowers.

Autumn chrysanthemum should be here, three people rest no words.

At Yinzheng the next day, there was no light in the sky. Mother Xin and mother Tang had already got up and cooked the hot water in the small kitchen beside the wing room. Yin Zheng three quarters later, eleven Niang got up, binju took care of the toilet, Qiuju had cooked the white porridge, and Shiniang had a dish of bamboo shoots, a dish of sauced Wanggua, a small bowl of porridge, and sat down in front of the embroidery frame and began to embroider characters.

Looking out of the window, the sky is getting brighter, and a little servant girl comes and says, "Miss 11, the eldest lady wants you to go to Zhiyun hall now."

Eleven Niang was shocked.

At this time, what does the eldest lady tell her to do?

Confused in the heart, hands and feet dare not slow half. Let Dongqing appreciate that little maid a nest silk sugar, went into the room to change a dress, she took amber to the big wife's place.

When she came to the eaves, she heard Wu Niang's happy laughter.

It seems that the eldest lady is in a good mood.

Eleven Niang heart slightly fixed, the small servant girl on one side has lifted the curtain son to say: "eleven miss has come!"

The people in the room restrained their laughter and eleven Niang entered the room.

The first lady was wearing a lilac butterfly and grape pattern flower coat, and she was smiling and sitting on the Lohan bed in the main room. Wu Niang was wearing a moon white bamboo striped jacket. She was graceful as the wind, and Liu Prajna was standing on the bed. The smile on her face had not disappeared, and the corners of her mouth and eyebrows were brimming with joy.

See eleven Niang come in, she cover sleeve and smile: "is saying younger sister, younger sister came!"

Eleven Niang came forward to salute the eldest lady with a smile.

The eldest wife pointed to a brocade Wu beside the bed: "sit down!"

Eleven Niang is smiling empty sitting on brocade Wu.

Five Niang some can't wait to smile: "eleven younger sister, mother wants to take us to Yanjing to see elder sister."

Eleven Niang looked at the eldest lady in surprise.

The eldest lady was very satisfied with the surprise of eleven Niang and nodded with a smile: "years ago, your elder sister sent Mammy to me to say hello. He said that both your grandfather and mother have passed away. If the eldest master holds the post of marquis in Yanjing, your elder brother is going to study in the Imperial College. He will take this opportunity to let me go to Yanjing and have a family reunion. " She sighed, "I haven't seen you for more than ten years since your elder sister got married. It's weird. Listening to her say so, I really moved my mind. But your elder sister is afraid that I can't lose all the personnel in my family. She often writes to urge me to go to Yanjing. As soon as I sum up, it happens to be April when Mrs. Xu's wife is celebrating her birthday. It's also good for me to give her a birthday. There's no point in thinking about going alone. I just want to take you both to see. "What should have happened finally

On the contrary, eleven Niang was calm.

"Eleven younger sister," five Niang's face is full of smile, "we can be lucky."

Eleven Niang's face showed hesitant color, murmured: "the screen has not finished embroidering..."

The eldest lady said with a smile, "I was going to send gifts only. Now that I have brought you to celebrate your birthday, the birthday gifts prepared before are a little bit shabby. Let's put the screen on for a while

Eleven Niang respectfully answered "yes".

"We'll leave after the new year." "Go down and clean up," she said with a smile! If you have anything to add or subtract, let mom Xu help you buy it. "

Eleven Niang stood up with a smile: "on weekdays, my mother has paid a lot of money. In my opinion, there is nothing to buy. It's just that I have a thin eyelid. I want to ask my mother to go to my room and see if there is anything wrong. After all, I'm going to my eldest sister's house to celebrate her mother-in-law's birthday. I still have to take care of my dignity! "

Lianda nodded to me. It's not your business alone, and your sister's decency. " Said, directly called Xu mother to come in, "call the old auspicious shopkeeper, give two young ladies add some head jewelry."

Mother Xu is smiling a little.

Eleven Niang asked some things to pay attention to when entering Beijing. Looking at Wu Niang's impatience, she got up to leave and went back to Lvjun building.

As soon as her front foot stepped into the door, the rear feet of Wu Xiao's family followed.

She also carried a small can in her hand.

"Miss eleven, I have something to ask for amber."

Eleven Niang natural won't stop, smile way: "what does mother have to tell her to do just ask her to do."

"It's nothing else." Miss Wu pointed to the amber pot in the hand of Miss Wu, who wanted to let me know

Eleven Niang's face was puzzled: "I don't know how the eldest lady arranged it yet..."

Before she finished speaking, Wu Xiao's family had already said with a smile: "the eldest lady took mother Xu to go. The affairs of the inner courtyard were entrusted to mother Yao, and the affairs of the outer courtyard were entrusted to our family. Forsythia is sick, stay at home, fall Qiao and coral a few go. You and Miss Wu, each with two big maids, two little maids and two rough maidens... "

Eleven Niang smiles bitterly in the bottom of my heart.

There are three servant girls in her room, but amber is given to her by the eldest wife. She has to take her with her. It's no wonder that Wu Xiao's family came to ask for amber to help bring things.

"In this case, let amber help you to go there." Wu Xiao's family has already said this. If they refuse again, they are afraid that they will have an idea, "but I don't know how we can find Lu Yonggui? You know, after all, we are married women, and we are going to the Luo family again... "

"Don't worry, miss. I won't do that stupid thing." Wu Jiaxiao said with a smile, "Lu Yonggui helps his aunt and grandmother in charge of the dowry industry. He usually runs more outside than at home. You have to walk for 20 days to Yanjing. When you arrive, it will be spring. He is afraid that he will leave the door early. You can ask Dongqing to give this to Lu Yonggui's younger brother Lu Yongfu. Lu Yonggui's father used to be in charge of the cashier's office. Thanks to the help of his old man, the two families were very close. When Lu Yonggui went back to Yuhang last time, he said that he owed him the bad food. I had promised to give him something worse, but Yanjing has a long history and I have no one to take with me. It's because you're going with me that I'm thinking about it. "

How could it be so tortuous

Eleven Niang says with a smile: "that this Lu Yongfu again how to look for?"

Wu Xiao's family said with a smile, "he is now a small steward in Ma Si's house of marquis Yongping. It's out there. You will find out as soon as you ask a boy. "

Eleven Niang smiles to answer, let Holly take things.

Binju joked with Wu Xiao's family: "if we can't find someone, we won't return it."

Wu Xiao's family laughed and said, "girls, just eat. I have more here. "

There was a burst of laughter.

******

in the afternoon, it became known that Wu Niang and Shi Niang would accompany the eldest wife to Yanjing.

The atmosphere in the room of eleven Niang is somewhat depressed.

With two big servant girls, two small servant girls, two rough maidens The little servant girl and the old lady of the rough envoy are good at saying, who is good for the big servant girl?

Eleven Niang decided to go to the eldest wife.

After all, this is only from Wu Xiao's family Even if the eldest lady really has such a plan, she still has a chance to fight for a place in her room before she announces it.

Determined, eleven Niang stood up, the curtain in front of the door was suddenly lifted without warning, and the face of ten Niang appeared in front of eleven Niang.

"Good, good, good." She came in slowly with a look of anger and smile, "you are so good! Go to Yanjing... "

(the water recedes, and there is a lot of devastation...)
