It was night, when Su Yan looked at the ten bolts of red silk satin on the table, she felt pain in her head. The old lady specially ordered someone to buy it for her. According to the rules, when a bride prepares to marry, she has to embroider her own wedding dress, quilt, handkerchief and purse, and even the pillowcase must be embroidered by herself.
What the old lady meant was that Su Yan's wedding date was too close to embroider the wedding dress by herself, but the quilt and pillowcase on the wedding day had to be embroidered by herself, otherwise it would be unlucky.
Seeing Su Yan's frowning expression, Cai Xia smiled and said, "Miss, don't look, even if you see the fabric as a flower, you will have to embroider it sooner or later."
Su Yan threw the needle and thread in her hand into the embroidery basket: "If you talk sarcastic again, I will marry you and let you embroider with me!"
Cai Xia said: "Girl, don't tease the maidservant, the maidservant is willing to serve the maidservant for the rest of her life."
Hearing Caixia's words, a string in Su Yan's mind suddenly twitched. Because of Caixia's words just now, she suddenly thought of a very important thing, and immediately ordered: "Caixia, go and put Yunzhuo and Yunquan called."
After a while, Cai Xia led Yun Zhui and Yun Quan into the house, plus Liu Xiang who was waiting in the house, there were four maids in total. Su Yan looked at the maidservants in front of her, except for Yunquan, all three of Caixia were watery. In the past, Su Yan only wanted to let them all marry as dowries, but never thought about what would happen in the future.
What Cai Xia said today made Su Yan suddenly think of a very important thing.
Su Yan has always been very casual in the room, and has never shown such a serious expression. Several servant girls looked at each other, wondering what Su Yan was going to do.
Su Yan thought for a while, and said: "According to the rules, after I get married, there should be four maids by my side. In addition to Caixia and Liuxiang, I plan to bring up Yunzhui and Yunquan. You all followed me After such a long time, I know my temperament, as long as you are loyal, I will not treat you badly."
"Thank you, girl." The four of them blessed together.
"I haven't finished talking yet. I'm a small-minded person, and I can't tolerate a grain of sand in my eyes. After I get married, I can't do such a thing as using the big maid around me to win over a man, and I can't tolerate such a thing. Things happened around me." Su Yan looked at the four maidservants in front of her, her eyes flicked over each of their faces one by one, without missing any subtle expression on anyone's face: "I said this mean, do you understand?"
Such things as maids crawling on the bed are not uncommon in the back house. Su Yan hates this kind of thing the most, so she feels that it is necessary for her to beat these maids before getting married. When something happened, everyone looked bad.
Caixia immediately blessed her body and said: "Girl, you don't have to worry so much. The servants are all aware of your affection, but you can't tolerate the second person in your eyes. Who can't think about it? Xiao Xiang Shizi, isn't that making yourself uncomfortable?"
Liu Xiang agreed: "Yes, the servant girl wants to serve the girl by her side, and then when she gets old, marry a steward, and stay by the girl's side to be the steward."
Yun Zhui was young, but he also knew what was good and what was bad, and immediately said: "Miss is kind to the maidservant, and the maidservant can't do things that are sorry to the maidservant."
Yunquan is much simpler: "Don't worry, I look like this, the prince looks down on me."
Under Su Yan's observation, these maidservants looked very natural when they replied, and they didn't notice anything unusual.
She let go of her heart for the time being, and a smile appeared on her face again: "Since that's the case, let's do what we should do. I will continue to embroider my dowry."
Not long after Yunzhui and Yunquan left, Su Yan saw Zhong Ning walking in while nibbling some fruit.
"The brain doesn't hurt anymore?" Su Yan embroidered the quilt according to the pattern she just drew.
"It won't hurt after drinking the medicine." Zhong Ning smirked, then picked up the brocade on Su Yan's table and measured it on her body: "Senior sister, make me a red dress to wear, I haven't worn it yet Too red."
Su Yan didn't have time to talk to Zhong Ning: "I'm busy embroidering dowry, you choose one and let the embroiderer in the mansion do it for you."
Zhong Ning let out a happy hey, and then started flipping through more than a dozen piles of cloth.
Su Yan dropped another needle, then suddenly raised her head and asked, "Did Xia Mochu look for you these days?"
Su Yan's question was too sudden, and Zhong Ning coughed unceasingly from the fruit that she hadn't swallowed yet. Cai Xia hurried up to pat her back, and managed to catch her breath. Zhong Ning immediately shook her head and denied: "No, No."
"Tell the truth." Su Yan saw through Zhong Ning at a glance, and the girl's eyes were erratic when she lied.
"I found it. He said he wanted to take me out for a horse race, so I went." Zhong Ning scratched her head, moved a stool and sat next to Su Yan, her little face that was originally bright and sunny suddenly became dejected: "Senior sister, I find that something is wrong with me recently, and I can't help but think of Xia Mochu, Senior Sister, do you think I am sick?"
Su Yan glanced at Zhong Ning: "What's wrong with you, lovesickness?"
Zhong Ning nodded, and said distressedly: "But how annoying is he, with such a bad mouth and doing nothing all day long, he is not at all comparable to senior brother, how could I fall in love with him."
Hearing Zhong Ning's answer, Su Yan put down her needle and thread: "Xia Mochu is not as useless as you said, and I can see from those days in Huaizhou that although he looks like a dude on the surface, he is actually a good person at heart. I don't want to listen to the family's mercy, so I deliberately put on that out-of-shape look."
Zhong Ning's eyes suddenly lit up: "Senior Sister, what do you mean..."
"I haven't finished yet." Su Yan interrupted Zhong Ning, looked at her seriously and said, "Ning'er, you have been in the capital for almost a year, how do you think the noble ladies in the capital are doing? ? Are you happy?"
Zhong Ning shook her head: "These people I've met are very tired. At home, they have to raise children born to other women for their husbands. Outside, everyone has to be tense even when talking, for fear This sentence offends people. And how can a double-faced and three-faced knife be free and easy in the Jianghu? Anyway, if it were me, I would not be able to bear it."
"This is what Xia Mochu's wife will face in the future."
After hearing Su Yan's words, Zhong Ning fell silent, holding Su Yan's handkerchief around, pursing her lips and not knowing what she was thinking.
"Of course, if Xia Mochu likes you enough, doesn't care whether you are virtuous or not, doesn't care whether you can be a good mistress, and he is willing to indulge you and pamper you for the rest of his life, all of this will not be a problem."
