Seeing her coming, Liu Yan held up the lotus she was playing with and said with a smile: "You are such a skillful hand! Look at the tassel pendant added, does it still match?"
Xiuhe looked up, and saw that the purse that Xiaomei had sent earlier had already added a sapphire blue tassel pendant and an amber tourmaline bead, which was more delicate than before.
Xiuhe then laughed and said, "Young Madam has a good vision, this tassel pendant looks great!"
Liu Yan put down her purse with a smile, and said with a smile: "You have to embroider well! How about it? The scar on the arm is better?"
Xiuhe was most afraid that she would ask this question, so she felt a little guilty, subconsciously lowered her head to avoid her gaze, nodded and said softly: "Go back to the young lady, it's much better..."
Liu Yan giggled, and said with a smile: "Your master has really changed his temper. He spent a lot of money to treat your injury! You must not know it yet, right? Thousands of dollars!"
The embroidered lotus couldn't help changing color, and blurted out: "It's so expensive!"
Realizing that she had slipped her tongue, she hurriedly knelt down, bowed her head and said, "Damn this servant, damn this servant! This servant didn't do it on purpose, the ointment given by the young lady—"
"I know!" Liu Yan interrupted her with a smile, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, silly girl! What's so scary about this? I'm not your master, and I take out my anger on the people around me every now and then! Hey, it's true. Thanks to her for being able to do it! Hehe, isn’t it because she didn’t let you use the ointment I gave you? If you don’t use it, don’t use it! Your master is so suspicious, probably because he thinks I will do something in the ointment? Hehe, she It’s really superfluous! Anyone with a little brain knows, how can this kind of thing be possible? If I make a move, wouldn’t I take the initiative to give her the handle!"
Xiu He didn't know how to answer Liu Yan's long series of words, so she lowered her head and said nothing.
Liu Yan was slightly annoyed, and winked at Nanny Qi.
Qi Momo said: "I said Xiuhe, are you heartless, or a gourd with a sawn mouth? After coming for a while, you can't even say a word of thanks! Hmph, you really think you Is the master sincerely healing your wounds? If it weren't for the bottle of ointment from the eldest young lady, she wouldn't bother to talk to you! Wouldn't she feel distressed when the thousands of taels of white silver were counted out? She was afraid of the big The young lady poked about you, and ruined her reputation as a fake virtuous! After all, you are now free from suffering, but it is thanks to the young lady's blessing! This is a person, you have to have a conscience !"
Xiuhe really didn't think of this level, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and sad when she heard Madam Qi say that.
She believed that with her master's temperament, she thought so! It's ridiculous that I am still secretly grateful in my heart, and I think she is afraid that the young lady will win me over, so she treats me well...
I see…
"What? Why don't you hurry up and say thank you?" Nanny Qi couldn't help cursing inwardly: This elm has a bumpy head! It's strange that as a dowry girl, she doesn't like her master at all!
"Okay, Mother Qi!" Liu Yan said with a smile: "I just want to show her pity, and I don't want to thank you for this idea! What's the use for me if I don't say a word or not? Do I care? "
"Of course," Liu Yan said with a smile again: "Seeing Lu Yiqing suffer a big secret loss, my heart is also happy!"
"Young Madam," Xiu He finally knelt down and kowtowed: "Young Madam, you are straightforward, and this servant will tell you directly! Your great kindness and virtue will be remembered by this servant, thank you Young Madam! However, the servant girl is my aunt's dowry after all, and the servant girl must never betray my aunt, I'm afraid, there is no way to repay the young lady!"
"What a girl, I just like that you are so loyal!" Liu Yan couldn't help applauding, and said with a smile: "Since you said that, I don't want to make things difficult for you!"
As she spoke, she sighed softly: "Oh, you girl is also suffering, I really can't bear it! Hehe, if you want to repay me, you can embroider some small things for me when you are free, such as sachets and purses." , handkerchiefs, sweat towels, etc., this is very good! You stitch embroidery is really good! I like it very much!"
Hearing these words, Xiuhe's heart felt warm, and she couldn't help feeling a little sour. Even Lu Yiqing had never said such considerate and warm words to her.
Xiuhe suddenly felt a little guilty, feeling sorry for the young lady.
"As long as you don't dislike the young lady, I will definitely do it for the young lady when I have free time." Xiu He said hastily.
After hearing this, Liu Yan smiled and said: "That's what I said, I don't wait for these things to be used! You just have to do one or two things in your spare time. If you do too much, I'm afraid your master will be suspicious again." What! I don't like her, but for some reason, I feel close to you when I see you!"
Xiuhe said gratefully: "Thank you for your thoughtfulness, young lady, this servant knows. Don't worry, even if my aunt asks something, this servant will just tell the truth. It's not a big deal!"
"That's true, but it's just like that!" Liu Yan smiled, and said, "Your master has such a temper, it's really embarrassing for you to wait by her side for so long! Alas, people say that people change people's hearts, That master of yours—I didn’t say that, he’s a careless person at all! Girl, you have to plan for yourself while you’re still young, otherwise when you grow old in the future, who do you count on! Your master? Humph, It's not like I said, she would be surprised if she would pay attention to you!"
Xiuhe's heart skipped a beat, and her face changed slightly.
For yourself? Xiuhe never thought about this problem.
For a long time, she was only focused on serving her master, and she was careful not to be beaten or scolded. Every time she survived, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Day by day, that's how it came!
After today, I worry about tomorrow; after tomorrow, I think about the day after tomorrow.
But that's all.
As for the future, it seemed so far away, so far away that she never paid attention to it.
However, the young lady's words awakened her, like enlightenment.
Xiu He unconsciously smiled wryly in her heart, getting old? Not to mention getting old, if one day she is useless, or she can exchange herself for greater benefits, she believes that her master will definitely choose to abandon her without hesitation.
Just like she did to Xiurong back then.
But Xiurong's life is much better than hers. Xiurong was taken in by the second girl, and she has escaped from the sea of misery since then.
The sisters also met privately afterwards. She saw that the smile on Xiurong's face was obviously much brighter, and her complexion was also much better. The calm and joyful look on her brows was definitely unbelievable!
Unfortunately, she is not as lucky as her—
Xiuhe's heart skipped a beat. In front of her, didn't she also have a chance? Young Madam, she is very—
Xiuhe's heart only moved for a while, then hesitantly cut off the signs. In the final analysis, the master treats her fairly well, so if she betrayed her like this, how would everyone in the mansion treat her
Besides, who knows if the young lady is sincere—
"Okay, I won't keep you anymore! You've been here for a while, go back! Otherwise, your master might be able to interrogate you all night!" Liu Yan smiled kindly and considerately, unaware that embroidered lotus Some thoughts crossed my mind.
Xiu He had no choice but to put away the messy things in her heart, and promised to leave with a salute.
"Young Madam," Qi Momo glanced at Xiu He's leaving back, and said disapprovingly, "You are too kind to this stupid girl! This stupid girl can be stupid and timid, what can she do!"
"Hmph!" Liu Yan sneered, and said lightly, "It's just that you have to be stupid and timid! Just wait and see!"
"After the young lady said that, this old slave is really curious!" Qi Nanny smiled.
After Xiuhe went back, Lu Yiqing caught her and interrogated her endlessly. Xiuhe who questioned her left and right, broke out in a cold sweat, and became dissatisfied and impatient.
Of course, she didn't dare to say a word to Lu Yiqing about what the eldest young lady said.
Lu Yiqing expected that she would not dare to hide herself, so after asking for a long time, she finally let her go.
The next day, Lu Yiqing waited on Liu Yan for breakfast as usual.
This day Liu Yan wore a plain brocade beige and a long skirt of the same color. Except for a green plum embroidered obliquely at the hem of the skirts on both sides and thin gold and silver thread seaming, there are only three or two faint green plums on the skirt, the whole body is snow white, very elegant.
Because it was during the newly-married period, Liu Yan usually wears very bright clothes, such as bright red, bay red, begonia red, orange red, etc., but now she has suddenly changed into this one, and only two jade sticks are inserted in the simple hair bun. Hairpin, the whole person looks extraordinarily elegant and pretty, as elegant and pleasant as a blooming white plum.
It was so eye-catching that Li Guanghao couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
Dressed up like this, the golden purse tied around her waist was particularly conspicuous, and Li Guanghao naturally saw it at a glance. He couldn't help asking: "This purse is very well embroidered!"
"Do you think it's okay, too?" Liu Yan smiled sweetly, untied it and handed it to Li Guanghao, then glanced at Xiuhe who was standing beside her, and said with a smile: "This is what the concubine of Xiuhe who is next to Sister Qing did. What! Speaking of which, embroidering lotuses is really capable and extremely dexterous! There is no such person around me!"
"Really!" Li Guanghao glanced at Xiuhe and smiled.
Liu Yan laughed and said, "What? Didn't my sister ask Xiuhe to embroider something for you? My concubine sees that my belt is a bit old!"
"That's right, there really isn't one!" Li Guanghao said.
"Embroidered lotuses!" Liu Yan signaled her to come forward, and said with a smile, "Did you hear that? Hurry up and take the time to embroider a belt for Grandpa, be more careful, you know?"
Xiuhe couldn't help but cast a glance at Lu Yiqing, Fang nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, young lady, I will remember this."
Following the action of embroidering lotus, Li Guanghao came to Liu Yan's side, and he smelled a sweet, delicate fragrance, which was very pleasant.
He took a strong sniff twice and asked, "What fragrance?"
