Chapter 30 This is called happiness

"Girl, have you got it again? Why don't we take a break before embroidering?" Lianxiu watched Jiang Ting pierce her finger, and her distressed eyes shrank. He quickly put down the purse that was half embroidered in her hand and squatted in front of Jiang Ting to help her see the bloody finger belly with a needle.

Today it's her turn to teach the girl embroidery. Although it can be seen that the girl doesn't like this in her heart, whenever it's time to take the needle, she still honestly holds out the needle basket, frowns and seriously threads the needle at the embroidered Paza. Because she is a beginner, she has already pierced a lot of needles in her fingers.

Love embroidery really feels that my girl doesn't have to learn embroidery so seriously. It's not that she didn't start learning until she was 11 years old. It's too late to learn anything. But because of her current identity, there is really no need to learn these things. The girl is the legitimate daughter of Houmen, and she is still the only daughter at present. According to her master's spoiled daughter's nature, she will definitely find a husband who will never let her be wronged in the future. Even if she really learns embroidery very well, she won't need it at all in the future.

Now there is a special sewing room in Jiang's house, and Jiang Ting used to sew a small piece of clothes inside by herself. Now, all her clothes are either custom-made from the best embroidery workshop outside or made for her in her own sewing room. She really doesn't need to take the needle and thread.

Although women want to embroider wedding clothes when they get married, people who are a little richer in the capital will not be willing to let their daughters who love and grow up do that in person. Wedding clothes and quilts can be customized in the embroidery shop outside. Not only are the materials good, but the embroidery is also much better than that of your own embroidery.

Besides, who hasn't raised a few first-class embroiderers in a noble family like the Jiang family? Not to mention anything else, I only love embroidery myself, which is also a first-class Su embroidery skill.

At this time, Zhihua happened to bring a plate of new pastries. When she saw their movements, she immediately understood that it was the girl learning embroidery and pricking her hands again. She quickly put the tray in her hand on the short table beside Jiang Ting, put the embroidery in Jiang Ting's hand into the needle and thread basket, put it aside, and said to Jiang Ting with a smile, "Girl, this is Aunt Su's new snack today. This is a new trial made by her according to your request. You can try it first. It won't taste good when it gets cold.

Jiang Ting looked at the two big maids in front of her and felt very warm. Maybe her gifting to them that day worked, or maybe the three of them said their heartfelt words together. Anyway, they have become more and more concerned and closer to her these days.

Jiang Ting has no brothers or sisters in her past and present life, so she cares so much about her new sister Sun Yun. She really cherishes this hard-won sisterhood too much. Now, she has a little sisterhood with these two girls who really care about her. However, she knew that this was ancient and the master and servant were different. Even if she has regarded these two as a sister in her heart, she will not show it on the surface.

"Okay, let's put the embroidery first. Today, I have several more needles in my hand. It hurts so much that I'd better wait a moment to learn. Oh, Zhihua, do you think I'm so stupid? When can I learn something? Look at the handkerchief I embroidered. I wanted to embroider an orchid, but now it doesn't even look like a pile of weeds. Lianxiu, a master, may not laugh at me in his heart. Jiang Ting pretended to joke about the two maids, looked back at the weeds she had made in half a morning, and couldn't help laughing.

Zhihua shook her head and replied seriously to Jiang Ting, "The girl said this is wrong. If a girl is stupid, then painting is stupid. Yesterday, the girl only recognized the words for less than a quarter of an hour, and she could turn her head and write it by herself. This is not what ordinary people can do. When I learned to read and read, I recited it again and again. I don't know how many times I was hit in the palm of my hand before I could write a word. I want the maidservant to say that the girl is the real smart person. If we in the Southern Tang Dynasty can let women go to the scientific examination, the girl will study hard for a few years, and then she will be amazing and become a female champion!"

Love embroidery nodded and echoed: "What Zhihua said is right, not to mention reading and reading, just talking about this embroidery. The girl has only learned it for a few days, and she has embroidered well. If the girl says she is stupid, the maidservant will be ashamed. I don't know how many times I was scolded by my master when I took the needle for the first time, and how many days I practiced to become a girl like this.

Jiang Ting was praised and ashamed by the two maids. At least she used to go to school for several years. Although she has almost forgotten it now, at least she is much better than a real beginner. Besides, Zhihua's handwriting is simple and basic words, and now she also reads "Hundred Family Surnames" for young children's enlightenment. If she is still slow to learn like this, she is not stupid, but stupid.

As for embroidery, although the stitching method is complicated, it is really difficult to learn. But she has taken care of herself since she was a child, and her clothes are sewn by herself. Those experiences will have a more or less positive effect on her learning embroidery now. Moreover, in the years in the northwest, she sewed underwear by herself, which was quite basic. So, how can she compare with a child who has never taken a needle and thread for a real beginner?

But she also knew that this was the thoughtfulness of the two girl. She didn't want her to suffer, but she was afraid that she would be worried, so she praised her so hard. Needless to say, the water in their words is very sufficient. But even if she knew that the two exaggerated the facts, Jiang Ting was still very happy to hear it. Who doesn't like to listen to flattery, right?

Jiang Ting smiled and followed the meaning of the two maids, happily threw away the annoying embroidery, let Lianxiu take a clean wet handkerchief to wipe her hand, and picked up the bowl of soup with rich and fragrant sour and spicy powder in front of her.

Yes, it is a common one for a few yuan a bowl of hot and sour noodles. Jiang Ting herself is not a person who can eat spicy food, but she loves to eat noodles. Therefore, all kinds of rice noodles, bean jelly, potato noodles, hot and sour noodles... are all her favorite snacks.

Unfortunately, in this era, there are no potatoes and sweet potatoes, so her favorite vermicelli is gone. A few days ago, she suddenly remembered that without potatoes and sweet potatoes, she could try to make rice noodles with rice. Just in time, Jiang Yong found a suitable cook for her, a single daughter-in-law with a daughter in her thirties. The cook's surname is Su, and Jiang Ting asked her to call her Aunt Su from the people in the courtyard this month.

Aunt Su is from the south and makes good snacks. Jiang Ting also looked at the sugar cake she steamed after grinding rice into noodles, and then remembered that she could make rice noodles. She is also a little good at cooking and still remembers some food programs she has seen on TV. There seems to be a little impression of how to make rice noodles. She couldn't help it any longer. In the past two days, she went to the kitchen to study with Aunt Su how to make rice noodles.

Not to mention, the rice noodles were really tried by them in the end. Not only did the rice noodles try out, but they also steamed the rice noodles. Now Jiang Ting not only has noodles, but also has cold noodles. It's really congratulatory.

The bowl of hot and sour noodles in front of her is naturally different from the hot and sour noodles she used to eat. First of all, the powder is different, and the second ingredient is also different, but the taste on the main body is still a refreshing feeling of melting acid and hot spicy taste. She was very satisfied with the meal. She also ate a little with love embroidery and Zhihua, but the two of them burst into tears. Well, obviously, the taste of their ancients is too light to enjoy such a special delicacy.

Jiang Ting ate rice noodles happily and sighed in her heart that on such a day, there are people who eat and drink to serve, which is called happiness!

At this time, the little girl came outside to send a message: "Girl, someone came to send a message in the courtyard."

Since Jiang Ting clarified the control status of Zhihua and Lianxiu in this yard, she has clearly instructed other girls that no one is allowed to enter the inner room without permission. Even the little girl who sent the message can only come in after reporting it at the door of the bedroom.

Jiang Ting quickly put down the small bowl in her hand and sat upright. After taking the veil handed over by Zhihua and wiping her mouth, she said, "Come in."

The first girl who came in was the yard. After attracting people in, she obediently saluted Jiang Ting and went out. Following the little girl was a steward in Jiang Yong's yard. It is said that this stewman is an old man on duty in Zhenbei Houfu.

At the time of the accident, Jiang Convenience let the servants in the house go. Now that Jiang Yong has returned to Zhenbeihou Mansion with his daughter, there are some old people who miss the old master's family and drag their families in. Jiang Yong felt their loyalty to his family and put them all in the house. The old arranged the yard for retirement, and the young arranged suitable positions all over the house to serve them on duty, which is also a fulfillment of the old feelings.

This mother, surnamed Li, was originally Jiang Yong's wet nurse when she was a child. Later, after Jiang Yong's weak crown, Mother Li and his wife were assigned to a farm by Mrs. Jiang. At the time of the accident, she was 50 years old and was released by the Jiang family together with other servants.

Originally, Jiang Yong didn't have any hope, but just let people listen slowly in the capital. All his elders have gone. If the nurse is still alive, he will take over to retire for her and complete his filial piety. Unexpectedly, on the third day when they moved back to Jiang's house, Mother Li was found by the people sent by Jiang Yong.

M Mother Li has not lived well for more than ten years. Her husband died a few years ago, and his son worked as a slave outside and couldn't earn much money in a year. In addition, the son also has a wife and children, and life is even more difficult. Therefore, as an old man in her sixties, she has to work hard for family affairs and take care of her grandchildren.
