Chapter 52 The Return of Spring
What?! If you can buy a decent house, Mrs. Li's gift is too expensive. No wonder Sun Shaozu frowned and left after coming to see the orchid. Sun Shaozu may know something about it. He often walks on the official side. He should have seen this Wan Hemei, Sun Shaozu, who was thundering on this day. Why didn't tell her that Mrs. Li sent her such precious flowers? If someone gives such a heavy gift, what should I take to return the thank-you gift?
Yingchun was a little stunned. When the embroidered orange saw that Yingchun did not speak anymore, she sent away the florer.
The embroidered orange is a little nervous to look at the spring, and the spring is thinking about what to send. Suddenly, Yingchun thought of something. She was a little excited and immediately asked the embroidered orange to choose the best cloth. On the night of spring, the embroidered orange was asked to draw several exquisite flowers, and then embroidered them on the cloth. Then he asked Si Zhu to follow the design of the Spring Festival and made a few things that embroidered oranges and others could not understand.
It is said that it is a bag with noodles, which is too unlike, because there is still a big opening in one place, and looking at the shape, no one can use such a large noodle pocket. Si Zhu and Xiu Ju have guessed for a long time, but they haven't figured out the usefulness of this thing.
For a few days, embroidered oranges and Sizhu have been busy helping Yingchun make this strange thing. Five days later, several square cloth pockets appeared before the Spring Festival.
Yingchun praised with a smile, "You have done a good job, even better than I thought."
The embroidered orange turned over with the cloth at a loss. After looking at it for a long time, the embroidered orange finally asked Yingchun, "Madam, what is this for?"
"The quilt."
"The quilt cover?" Embroidery orange saw such a thing for the first time, "What is a quilt cover?"
Yingchun laughed, asked Xiuju to take out the quilt, and then began to put the quilt in the big pocket.
Si Zhu looked at Yingchun in a daze. The quilt was stuffed in the cloth pocket. Yingchun slowly flattened the four corners, and then folded the quilt. After folding the quilt, Yingchun sat on **, patted the quilt covered with the quilt, and nodded to Sizhu and Xiuju with bright eyes.
"In the future, as long as you remove the quilt cover and wash the quilt cover, it will be much easier to clean, and the little girls don't have to be too tired."
Really, embroidered oranges and Sizhu can't help laughing, which is really easy to disassemble and wash. Only then did Si Zhu and Xiuju know the benefits of this quilt cover.
Yingchun asked Si Zhu and others to make a few more flowers, choose a few more flowers, and make them for themselves, and also let each girl make one for their own use.
Yingchun picked up a quilt cover with a spring pattern and smiled, "How about this for Mrs. Li?"
Si Zhuxian smiled and said, "Yes, Mrs. Li gave us a gift with money and nowhere to buy. We can only give Mrs. Li a gift like this. Madam, you are so smart."
Spring giggling happily.
In the afternoon, Si Zhu came back from the outside with joy. When he entered the room and saw Yingchun, he said, "Madam, the maidservant has done the job. Mrs. Li is very happy and likes the quilt very much. The maidservant helped Mrs. Li put it on the quilt, and Mrs. Li praised her for her ingenuity. Well, if you don't give the reward money to the maidservant, you can't do it.
Yingchun also smiled: "You can receive the reward money. Don't accept Mrs. Li's kindness."
Xiuju smiled and stretched out her hand to Si Zhu: "Come on, share half of the meeting and give me half to my sister. This Qiaozong can't let you monopolize alone."
Si Zhu knew that Xiu Ju was joking with him, so he patted Xiu Ju's hand with a smile: "My sister wants to reward money. There are a lot of them. They are all with Mrs. Li. My sister has the ability to go by herself."
The two maids fought again, and Yingchun just looked at them with a smile. How nice it would be if it would always be such a day.
Water silk came to greet Yingchun this day. Looking at the quilt cover made by Yingchun, it was very novel and wanted to learn to make one. In the spring, the embroidered oranges taught water silk carefully. Unconsciously, quilts were slowly becoming popular all over Sun's house. The girls scrambled to learn, and even Aunt Chen's fragrant house also learned to do it.
Sun Shaozu went to Aunt Chen and saw Aunt Chen changing a quilt. Sun Shaozu looked at the quilt and asked Aunt Chen, "What is this?"
Aunt Chen replied with a smile: "Sir, this is a quilt cover made by madam." After saying that, Aunt Chen turned around and looked at Sun Shaozu's face and said with a smile, "Didn't you make one for the master?"
Sun Shaozu's face has answered Aunt Chen. Aunt Chen knew that her goal had been achieved, and she smiled and boasted against the spring: "Sir, in fact, my wife is really skillful. Look, no one thought of such a simple thing, but it made my wife think of it. My wife is really careful."
Sun Shaozu didn't say anything. He knew Aunt Chen's intention very well, but he was thinking about another thing at this time: will she still have this brain to make this quilt? It seems that she really knows very little about her, and she is still a careful person.
After dealing with the internal affairs, Yingchun saw Muxiang coming. Yingchun knew that Muxiang had something to do and called Muxiang to the inside. Muxiang replied to Yingchun Shili, "Madam, I don't know if I should talk about something?"
Yingchun waved his hand with a smile: "Muxiang, you are not an outsider. Just say it if you have something to say."
Muxiang hesitated: "Madam, that's it. You also know how many there are in the kitchen. I think that Aunt Jiang's small kitchen can be removed. The young master is no longer in the house and has grown up. Aunt Jiang's kitchen also needs two taels of silver a month. The maidservant thought that the money starts from the details.
Although Muxiang is not very clear, Yingchun has understood the meaning of Muxiang. Aunt Jiang uses the kitchen in the inner courtyard, but the kitchen in her small yard is leading the monthly routine, so that Aunt Jiang has more money than others, but it is a little unfair.
Yingchun nodded, and she let Muxiang retreat.
Not long after Muxiang retreated, Aunt Chen came to welcome the spring with Xiangshe. Aunt Chen smiled and held tea for the Spring Festival: "Madam, I have something to ask your wife for instructions."
Yingchun was used to Aunt Chen's attentive attitude since she was punished. She took the tea and took a sip: "Let's talk about it."
When Aunt Chen saw the calm face of Yingchun, she smiled more festively: "Madam, it's right. Five days later, it's October 17th. That's my birthday. I set it up and want to ask my wife to sit in my yard, and invite Aunt Jiang and several girls to come over. I don't know if my wife can give me?"
Yingchun handed the teacup back again, and Aunt Chen immediately took it over. "October 17 is your birthday. Well, you can invite Aunt Jiang and others. I don't have time here every day. I may not have time."
Aunt Chen also knew that she had to invite her mother to drink on her concubine's birthday, so she was not forced to invite her. She thanked Yingchun and retreated with her incense house.
