The old lady sat on top, and Liu Yue sat next to the old lady, showing the old lady her newly embroidered satin. . .supply
It will enter the palace in two days, because it is given to the empress, so before entering the palace, this satin must be shown to the old lady, let the old lady taste and taste, and see what needs to be changed.
Although the old lady doesn't like that Liu Yue can't play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but can only embroider things, she still checks carefully for her, lest the queen will be dissatisfied when the time comes.
Seeing Liu Wei coming in, the old lady only raised her eyelids, while Liu Yue got up and turned to Liu Weifu, and called out politely: "Big sister."
Liu Wei nodded to her, and also bowed to the old lady.
The old lady looked at the satin with the pattern of thousands of phoenixes and phoenixes in her hand, and asked Liu Wei: "How much have you embroidered?"
It doesn't take much effort to embroider a few words. For skilled people, two days is enough, for unskilled people, it can take three days at most. If a professional embroiderer, or Liu Yue, who doesn't embroider for a day, will feel uncomfortable Man, it can be embroidered that day.
Liu Wei embroidered for a day, not asking for a good embroidery, but at least half of it.
Hearing the old lady's question, Liu Wei took out the brocade embroidered by Yue'er from her sleeve pocket, collapsed it in her hand, and said, "My granddaughter is clumsy, there are eighteen characters in total, and she only embroidered the ninth one."
"Bring it here and let me have a look."
Liu Wei took it and sent it to the old lady.
The old lady took a look and nodded: "It's not bad."
The eyelids of Liu Yue next to her moved. Liu Wei's brocade handkerchief was embroidered in a single way and the handwriting was ordinary. A handkerchief of such quality could be sold at a small vendor outside for three pieces for a penny.
And this kind of embroidery, the old lady can also praise it, she embroidered her own Wanfengchaohuang satin for two full months, but the old lady not only didn't have half a word of praise, but also found a lot of problems.
If the old lady loves her deeply and is responsible for her, she will naturally be happy, but she knows it is not.
As everyone knows, the old madam is only critical of her because she thinks her skills are not good enough.
Hiding the faint emotions in her eyes, Liu Yue adjusted her eyes and said with a smile: "Embroidery takes a lot of effort. My sister embroidered nine characters in a day. I must have boiled my eyes. I have some fragrant tea here. Let Birong send some to my sister in a while."
Liu Wei smiled slightly: "Thank you, sister."
The two looked harmonious.
Liu Yue got some advice from the old lady, so she didn't stay long, and left with the satin.
The old lady said several questions, Liu Yue still had a lot to correct when she went back, and she was going to enter the palace in two days, so she couldn't afford to delay.
After Liu Yue left, only the old lady, Nanny Yang and Liu Wei were left in the hall.
It's always been a formality, Liu Wei hesitated and wanted to leave, but the old lady got up and said to her: "Come along."
Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, and Nanny Yang helped the old lady out of the hall and walked along the long corridor to the other end.
Liu Wei followed obediently, the corridor was very long, and she walked for a while before stopping.
Arriving at a small independent attic, the attic has only two floors, and before entering, I can smell the sandalwood inside.
Looking at the plaque above the attic again, the words "Small Buddha Hall" come to life.
What did the old lady bring her to the Small Buddha Hall for
Suspicious in her heart, the old lady had already entered the Buddhist hall, and Liu Wei followed again.
The light in the Buddhist hall was not good, it was gray, and there was a smell of burning paper, Liu Wei moved her nose uncomfortably, and heard the old lady say: "From now on, every day, you take an hour to come here to think about your past. "
Thoughts
"grandmother"
"Why did you think about it, you know it in your heart."
The old lady's voice was very soft, but her tone could not refuse.
The old lady knelt on the futon in the center of the Buddhist hall under the service of Nanny Yang, clasped her hands together, peeled off the rosary beads on her wrists, hung them on the tiger's mouth, looked up at the golden Buddha statue, and closed her eyes tightly.
Liu Wei: ""
Nanny Yang looked back at Liu Wei and winked at her.
Liu Wei pursed her lips, seeing that the old lady's face had settled down, she could only swallow her words, and knelt on the futon behind her, following the example of the old lady, kneeling down to worship the Buddha statue.
Being so thoughtless, Liu Wei couldn't get up once she knelt in the small Buddhist hall.
Liu Wei has no religious beliefs, but Liu Wei also has reverence and respect for gods and Buddhas, but she really doesn't know what it means to kneel like this now
The old lady's words obviously meant to punish her for escaping marriage and offending Princess Yuehai.
Compared with other punishments, the penalty for facing Buddha's mistakes is already very light, but can't you just say it straight to the point? Or say hello in advance, so if you rashly come to ask for safety, you will be detained, what's the matter
Time passed by, and after half an hour, the old lady stood up. After all, she was old and her body was not as good as before. Kneeling for half an hour was already the limit of the old lady.
After the old lady got up, she looked down and found that Liu Wei's back was straight, her eyes were closed tightly, and she had a pious expression on her face, as if she didn't seem to be punished at all, but sincerely worshiped the Buddha.
The old lady raised her eyebrows, but she glanced at Liu Weigao.
After the old lady got up, without saying a word, she left the Buddhist hall and went to the small tea room next door.
After entering, the old lady sat down tiredly.
Nanny Yang reprimanded the little maid who followed, and knelt down to help the old lady squeeze her knees.
"What do you think?" An old and slow voice sounded from above his head.
Nanny Yang lowered her head, didn't listen to the movements of her hands, and said cautiously: "Old slave, I can't see through."
Leaning her back on the thick cushion, the old lady picked up the teacup and blew on the hot air: "I only watched it for a few days after I came back. Except for going out to provoke Princess Yuehai that day, when she was in the mansion, she They all behaved well and behaved honestly, they didn’t hang around other people’s places, and they didn’t make troubles, so they seemed to be at peace.”
Nanny Yang nodded: "Miss has suffered a lot, it's rare that the old lady and Xiangye are willing to forgive her, she is also a lucky person, so she understands."
"You really think so?"
Grandma Yang stopped talking.
"You should know why I agreed with her to come back."
Nanny Yang opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she couldn't say it.
The old lady took a sip of tea and swallowed the tea: "The Seventh Prince has settled it, no matter what happens in the future, I finally gave an explanation, but that matter"
Nanny Yang interrupted her: "Old Madam, that happened more than ten years ago, Missy should never have done that."
"Then why did she leave five years ago?"
"Maybe, it's because of pressing the marriage that they acted capriciously, and it may not have anything to do with that matter."
There was a pause in the air for a few seconds, and just when Nanny Yang was reflecting on whether she had spoken too directly, the old lady said in a nonchalant manner: "Nurse Yang, are you naive, or am I getting old, do you think, Am I so confused?"
When Nanny Yang heard this, her back turned cold with fright, and she quickly knelt heavily: "Old Madam, this old slave is loyal to you, you have to learn from him!"
There was another moment of silence, the old lady put down the teacup, made a crisp crashing sound, and said indifferently: "The time she met the Seventh Prince by chance, have you forgotten what happened after that?"
Nanny Yang buried her head lower and lower.
