"Don't, master, how can it work?" Lan Xiang was busy rejecting it.
"Just put on a cloak, what are you afraid of, come! Two people squeeze together to make it warmer!" Liu Qiqiao pulled Lan Xiang over, and the two squeezed into the cloak, "This garden is so big, it's the first time I came in. , I have seen it from a distance, but I have never come in, you know, I thought at that time, the people in the city are so lavish and there is such a big garden in the house. I couldn’t think of it at that time. One day, I can also walk into this garden and walk around like this..."
Lan Xiang listened to Liu Qiqiao. She remembered that when she first saw Liu Qiqiao, she was not assigned to her to be her maid. She had seen Liu Qiqiao early in the morning. At that time, she heard people say, The little country embroiderer who could count in her heart came again. She was crowded among the onlookers and looked at the old lady's yard.
Seeing the eldest and young sister Shen Xiurong kicking the shuttlecock there, a little girl was counting while the old lady was sitting in a wicker chair under the profile.
The little girl is still counting: "38, plus the previous 156, plus a few of them who kicked. The red dress sister has 69, the green dress sister has 44, and the purple dress sister has 52. Then they drank a total of 359..." The little girl finished speaking, and the old lady said to the side: "Is she right?"
Lan Xiang saw that there was a billing room next to him holding an abacus, and he was slapped, listening to the old lady's question, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and soon finished the calculation, and said to the old lady: "Yes. 359, yes, 359..."
Lan Xiang was gasping with the air-conditioning with the people next to him. What kind of head is this? I just read it a few times and it will come out. Even Mr. Accountant can't count her with counting beads.
The old lady smiled and waved to the little girl: "Come here, come, Qiao'er, your little head is so smart, alas, let grandma take a good look at you..."
The little girl was dragged by the old lady and touched her hair. The old lady sighed again: "It's a pity, it's a girl, Zhou Ma, you say, if this is a little boy, how wonderful, then I can call it over. It’s a pity to be a follower to Nong'er, even if he is a book boy!"
Lan Xiang realized that perhaps this was the so-called fate. Liu Qiqiao was destined to have concerns with the Shen family and Shen Yunong.
"Let's go, there is nothing to look at here. When the spring starts, it will look great here, right?" Liu Qiqiao said, "It's been a while. I guess Aunt Gao and the others have already left. Let's go!"
Lan Xiang responded and got out of the cloak, "Okay, Auntie, let's go!"
The two went out from the garden and walked into the courtyard of Mrs. Shen. Lan Xiang smiled at the gatekeeper: "Wednesday, brother, I don't know who else is there?"
That Wednesday smiled and responded: "Auntie Gang Gao and Young Master are here, and they seem to have already left. Hello, Auntie Qi, is this going to please the old lady?"
Liu Qiqiao nodded.
Lan Xiang walked inside with Liu Qiqiao.
Mother Zhou was walking out and saw Liu Qiqiao at a glance, and she said, "Oh, Aunt Qi, why are you here? Yesterday, when I came back, I told the old lady that you are back. She has been waiting this morning. With you, hurry up, come in!"
Liu Qiqiao hurriedly turned her head, Lan Xiang knew what she meant, and handed her the two embroidery that she had been holding in her hand.
Liu Qiqiao lowered her head and saw that there were two embroidered kerchiefs. She didn’t care. In the past, she embroidered a lot of things, most of which were kerchiefs. She walked in and the old lady’s room was very warm. When I saw her on the table on the kang table, I smiled and said, "Qiqiao, Mother Zhou said yesterday that you came back. Why did you come here? If you don't come again, I will blame you!"
Liu Qiqiao smiled and handed over the two veils first. With a smile in her mouth, she half-kneeled in front of the old lady Shen: "Old lady, don’t think this veil is too simple. I admit that it was embroidered before. , I have been busy with the store recently. I haven’t embroidered new ones. The eldest master told me to stay in the house recently. I will have time, old lady, I will embroider good ones for you. Tell me, I want to what?"
The old lady took the kerchief and smiled happily: "I like everything you give me. Come on, get up, Mother Zhou, get her a cushion. Let's sit on the kang table together. The ground is cold. Don't be cold. Up!"
Mother Zhou came over with a cushion with a smile, helped Liu Qiqiao to get up, and sat next to the old lady.
While the old lady patted the side and asked Liu Qiqiao to sit down, she opened the two kerchiefs. The well-designed Su embroidery, a circle of golden embroidery thread was rolled on the blue silk edge, and two chubby big embroidered in the middle doll. Looking at the naive manner, she was extremely cute. The old lady couldn't help laughing when she saw it, "Oh, you said you fooled me, but your veil has been brought to my heart!"
"Huh?" Liu Qiqiao was a little strange. The old lady's smile was not fake, but she was very happy. She hurriedly leaned over and saw that it was these two embroidered handkerchiefs. , Actually framed me. This veil was originally embroidered when Aunt Zhou was pregnant. It was originally intended to be given to Aunt Zhou. However, when I saw that the things Aunt Zhou received were both silver and gold, I Although this thing was embroidered for her wholeheartedly, it was still a little too difficult to take it out. She might laugh at it. So, I put it away. I don’t want to. It’s not good for Lanxiang to take it out today, but take it out. Two veils are here.
"Mother Zhou, look, this Qiaoer's embroidery work is good, much better than the things in the embroidery workshop outside. Look, oh, this is still a male doll, a female doll!"
Mother Zhou came over, looked closer, and smiled and said, "This is really good. She said she won’t give away anything, Aunt Qi, you will please the old lady. If you know what she wants most, just give it to her. What to embroider?"
Liu Qiqiao chuckled, and said whisperingly: "That... Yes, the old lady likes children!"
"Of course, it's better to be your own great-grandson!" The old lady nodded with a smile.
"Yeah, Xiaohutou had a false alarm yesterday. Fortunately, fortunately, he is so cute, I like it all!" Liu Qiqiao said.
"You, Xiaoqiqiao, if you like it, just give birth to one yourself! You know, I was optimistic about you from the beginning, and I thought you could give birth to a male and a half female to Nong'er. You enter this mansion, But I still have my credit!” Mrs. Shen smiled and lit Liu Qiqiao’s head: “I’ve listened to Nong’er, I’m not letting you go out recently, so good, so good, although the business is not as good as before, But now, it’s not bad. Our family has enough food, enough food, and harmony. I will be content. You will go back to the inner house this time. From now on, serve Nong'er well and give me a great-grandson. , Hehe, my old lady is also complete!"
Liu Qiqiao felt that Lan Xiang dug a hole for himself, and he jumped off guard. Mrs. Shen said, holding her hand and patted it lovingly. The look that looked forward to Liu Qiqiao made Liu Qiqiao somewhat unsure of what expression to use to respond. Mother Zhou smiled and said: "Qiqiao, you are not in the house. The old lady is talking about you every day, so you can come back. Stay with the old lady. I will fry chestnuts for you. The chestnuts were brought by the second young master and the second young grandmother from the country. The old lady has always been reluctant to eat it. I heard Cui Cui said that you also like to eat it, and keep it for you!"
Mrs. Shen said: "By the way, if you don't tell me, I have forgotten it, go and fry her, and, get some longan peanuts, and melon seeds, we are chattering and knocking..."
Mother Zhou went there, and a big maid came in. It was originally Qinglian who had gone to the countryside to advise Cui Cui. The one who was next to the old lady was called Chuntao.
Chuntao took some dried fruits, put them on the kang table, and took two hand stoves, to give the old lady and Liu Qiqiao, the old lady waved her hand straight: "No, no, no, this is the beginning of spring after the Chinese New Year, and It’s not as cold as that, but you just brought the fancy book in my room, and it’s in the drawer of the chest..."
Chuntao went to pick it up, and Mrs. Shen smiled and took a handful of melon seeds and handed it to Liu Qiqiao's mouth: "Qiaoer, with my old lady, don't be restrained. For me, although I am old. , But I love to be with you little ones, and feel the breath of your activities..."
Liu Qiqiao took it and sat with the old lady while talking and nibbling. Chuntao walked out at this time, holding a thick notebook, and handing it to Liu Qiqiao. The old lady happily pointed to the notebook and spoke to Qi. Coincidentally said: "Well, I saw that Boss Jin had a copy of it. I asked someone to follow it and portray a copy. Look, there are many flowers in it that I haven't seen before. There are difficulties and simple ones, but I think it will not be difficult for you anyway. If you come to embroider, it will work!"
Liu Qiqiao took it, turned it over and looked at him, don't look at it, and exclaimed, "This is a baby, old lady, are you willing to give it to me?"
"This is what you want, and it's just for you, so that it won't be spoiled!" Seeing Liu Qiqiao had a baby, Mrs. Shen's eyes lit up, and she was happy when she saw it.
Liu Qiqiao looked at it, and Mrs. Shen smiled and said, "I heard Mother Zhou say about the matter yesterday. This Auntie Zhou, alas, originally expected that she would be more mature after giving birth to a child, and she would be more restrained. Personality, I don’t want to, and it’s even worse, there’s a Liu Yiniang, you came, just left, coquettish, not much, just so high above the top, as if our Shen family can’t put her down anymore. The same, Qiao'er, we both have dear friends. I saw you at first sight and liked it. Grandma said the truth, so I hope that you will give birth to a son and a half daughter for our Shen family... "
