Chapter 7
The main room of the upper courtyard is filled with the fragrance of sandalwood.
The old lady leaned against the semi old green forging pillow and said to Yu Chen, who was squatting to beat her leg: "you child, how precious is the double-sided embroidery? Don't you know? How can you just give it to the four girls? " The old lady didn't get angry with Yuchen, so she felt that Yuxi's eyelids were too shallow. When she saw something good, she wanted to take it for herself.
Yuchen explained with a smile: "grandma didn't see it. The fourth sister looked at the embroidery as if it were a rare treasure. I gave it to her when I saw that she really loved it. " Although that pair of double-sided embroidery is precious, it is not unique.
The old lady shook her head and said, "it's OK this time, but you can't give away anything your mother left you."
Jade Chen smiles to nod: "I know."
The old lady said something. Naturally, Yuxi would not rush to the old lady's place to ask for trouble. However, she was not idle. She would go to Qiu's place early in the morning every day and learn to do embroidery with moju when she came back.
Moju began to teach the most basic things, such as stitching and needling. After a few years of teaching, Mo Ju knew that her girl had a talent for embroidery, because Yuxi could learn these things as soon as she learned them.
After knowing this, Qiu Shi asked Yuxi with a smile: "four wenches, my aunt heard that you began to learn embroidery?"
Yuxi took out the mop she had done for Qiushi, "big aunt, this is what I did. I don't do it well. I hope big aunt doesn't dislike it."
Yuxi has already felt that Qiu's attitude towards her is different from that of her life. Although I took good care of her in my last life, it seems to be a routine. Now I care more about her. Yuxi knows that it's the result of her insistence on coming to ask for her regards.
Qiu Shi took over to wipe the forehead to see, some don't believe ground to ask a way: "is this your embroider?" No wonder Qiu was surprised. The pattern on the forehead was a little messy, but the stitches were so fine that it was impossible for a man who had only studied for half a month to embroider them.
Mo Ju explained: "I dare not deceive my wife. This forehead is really embroidered by the girl. We didn't help. "
Yu Xi blushed and said, "great aunt, I'll embroider better after a while." Yuxi deliberately embroidered the pattern in a mess. Things have to be done step by step. Now her learning process is very fast. No matter how fast it is, it will be beyond the normal range. She doesn't want to be treated as a monster.
After hearing this, Qiu Shi no longer doubted it, and said with a smile, "this is a very good amount. My aunt likes it very much." It's rare that the child always thinks about her, but the thing to remind is to remind: "when your embroidery work is better, you have to make one for the old lady."
Yuxi originally had a smile on his face. After hearing this, his eyes flashed with sadness. He lowered his head and said, "I'm afraid grandma won't want it." I don't think so anymore, but I still have to show my attitude.
Qiu shidun for a moment, said: "how can the old lady not? That's your filial piety. The old lady will be very happy to accept it. "
Yuxi nodded reluctantly.
At this time, mother Wang came forward and whispered two words in Qiu's ear. Qiushi said with Yuxi with a smile: "tomorrow there will be a group of people in the house, you also come to pick a few of your favorite." Most of the servant girls used by the government were born at home and seldom bought from outside.
Yuxi nodded: "good." Last few servant girls were sent directly to the rose yard, now they can choose by themselves, that's the difference.
Back to the rose yard, Yuxi said it to Fang's mother, and then asked: "Fang's mother, still nothing found?"
Fang's mother hesitated and said, "girl, Mo Yun and Mo Xiang are the same." Mo Ju and Mo Tao are bought by the lady, and the contract of selling themselves is in the hands of the girl. If the girl has any problems, they will not guarantee in the future, so the probability of harming the girl is the smallest. Mo Yun and Mo Xiang are the children of their families. They are more likely to murder girls.
Yuxi is not disappointed. After all, she has lived in Qingzhu Xiaozhu for more than a month, which is long enough for the behind the scenes to sweep her tail clean.
Fang's mother said: "girl, Mo Yun has been waiting on her mother, or you might as well take this opportunity to let her out!" Although there is no evidence, since there is a suspicion, it is the safest way to let it out.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "it's not appropriate to let her out now." Mo Yun's family is in difficulty now. She is the master. She has to let people out without any help, which is worse than adding insult to injury to Mo Yun's family. Although the truth is right, but it will make the following chill, which is very bad for her.
Fang's mother thought for a moment, and thought that Yuxi was right.
Yuxi said: "Fang Ma, let someone send ten Liang silver to Mo Xiang and Mo Yun." When the ink is gone, she has to show it. As for Mo Yun, her mother's illness is just the time when she needs money. Unfortunately, she doesn't have much money on hand, so she can't give more.
Fang's mother said, "girl, we only have more than 20 taels left." Yuxi had no income other than six or two months a month. He had to reward his servants for the six Liang silver, and he had to buy some small things on weekdays. Mother Fang managed to save more than 20 taels of silver.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "no matter how hard it is, the silver will be rewarded."
Although Yuxi's mother, Ning, was a common daughter and married to fill a house, she was married to the government. Ning's family also gave her a lot of dowry for the sake of face. But later, something happened to Ning's family. In order to save her mother's family, Ning sold her dowry up and down. Unfortunately, the dowry did not save the next Ning family. Also because she ran around with a big belly, she had a difficult labor when giving birth, and gave birth to Yuxi and left.
Fang's mother was flustered. At that time, she advised her wife not to take out all the dowry. She had to leave some for her children, but she didn't listen to her advice. People in the government always look down on people because they can't get money to reward them.
Yuxi asked, "Mom, those gold and silver nuggets that my grandmother and aunt gave me during the Spring Festival should be replaced by broken silver and copper coins."
Fang's mother was reluctant: "girl, this thing will be useful in the future." In the future, girls will be criticized when they have no money to reward when they go out to socialize. It's hard to be a stingy person in the future.
Yuxi said with a smile, "there is always a way to deal with money. Don't worry."
Since she got well, Fang's mother felt that her girl had more and more ideas. However, Yuxi has been developing for the better, and she has never refuted.
Yuxi was very satisfied with Fang's mother's attitude: "tomorrow, my mother will go with me, and I will choose some good servant girls." She didn't want to use the maid she sent over there in her last life.
The next day, Yuxi meets aunt Rong and the second girl Yujing on the way to the main courtyard..
Aunt Rong was extremely charming. When she looked up at people, her eyes were full of amorous feelings. It's not surprising that a 30-year-old can still hold on to the Lord.
Today, Yu Jing is wearing a goose yellow dress. She is wearing a red gold jewel hairpin on her head and a red gold necklace around her neck. The ruby in the middle of the collar is blinding. She is really rich. Yu Jing is also very good-looking, with a sharp face and long eyebrows. However, with three points of arrogance and three points of ferocity in his eyes, he knew that he was not a good friend.
Aunt Rong looked at Yuxi with a twinkle in her eyes. She said, "I didn't expect that the four girls are well, as if they had changed a person." Yuxi used to be as thin as a bamboo pole, and he kept his head down when talking to people. He was not confident and timid. Now I'm fat and white, and I look wonderful, and I don't flinch any more. It's just like a new person.
Yuxi said with a light smile: "it's my mother who protects me in the sky."
Aunt Rong smiles very touching: "it's said that the four girls began to learn to do needlework. If the four girls don't dislike it, they can come to my Yiran hospital." Aunt Rong's needlework is so excellent that she can't even compare with xiuniang in the government.
Yuxi responded to Aunt Rong: "no need."
Yu Jing's face was not good. She glared at Yu Xi: "my aunt only let you go to Yi Ran yuan because she thinks you are rare."
Yu Xi glanced at Yu Jing and said, "in fact, I'm not rare." No matter how clever she is, she knows that she can't be a wallflower. Aunt Rong and her great aunt are enemies. Since she is her great aunt, she can't have anything to do with aunt Rong. Therefore, she has always kept away from Aunt Rong's kindness. But now she suspected that it was aunt Rong who had poisoned herself, so she was ruthless.
Yu Jing was so angry that she rushed forward to teach Yu Xi a lesson.
Aunt Rong, with quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed Yu Jing and said with a smile, "since the four girls don't like it, that's OK."
Yuxi stared at Aunt Rong and said, "I can't see it." Not to mention that she did a good job in needlework, even if she didn't do it well, she would not learn from an aunt.
The smile on Aunt Rong's face split. She didn't expect that Yuxi's words became so ruthless. But when she saw Yuxi's deep eyes, her heart jumped. Fortunately, aunt Rong's quality was excellent, and she didn't show any difference.
After staggering a distance, Fang's mother whispered, "why bother to offend her, girl! If you don't want to learn from her, just refuse. " Although aunt Rong is only an aunt, she is deeply loved by the Duke of the country. There is no need to have a grudge with aunt Rong for such a small matter.
Yuxi said without expression: "Mom, do you think I'm inexplicable about smallpox? Who is the most likely behind the scenes?"
Mother Fang's face changed: "what do you mean, girl? It's impossible. The girl has nothing to do with her. How could she lay such a vicious hand on the girl? " Fang's mother thinks Yuxi thinks too much.
Yuxi said: "Fang Ma, when the second brother had an accident, the eldest aunt was ill. If the second elder brother was gone at that time, I'm afraid it would be hard to protect my life. " Ben is ill. If he suffers such a big blow again, it is likely that something will happen.
Yuxi also later learned that her second cousin almost drowned you in that year. It was not an accident, but aunt Rong's poisoned hand, so she suspected aunt Rong. She thought it must be because her mother broke aunt Rong's business, so aunt Rong wanted to revenge. If her mother is gone, aunt Rong will take revenge on her.
Mother Fang's face was blue.
