Grandma's entry into the mansion is not just to train the maid, she also teaches Yuxi how to train useful people. Mother Quan has always believed that it is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish. Therefore, training the maid is next, and teaching Yuxi well is the most important. That afternoon, the grandmother went into the courtyard to find Yuxi to talk, and heard that Yuxi was doing embroidery work. When Yuxi was doing embroidery work, he was not allowed to keep many people in the backyard, except for the confidant, no one else. It's not that she wants to conceal anything, but she needs a very quiet environment to do embroidery work just like reading a book.
Mother Quan walked into the courtyard and saw Yuxi embroidering attentively under the veranda. Mother Quan walked up to Shisu and asked in a low voice: "When did the girl learn to embroider with both hands?" Embroidering with both hands together, if it is spread out, it will definitely cause shock.
Perilla said in a mosquito-like voice: "The girl used to practice calligraphy, and when she was tired, she would switch to her left hand. A few days ago, because one-handed embroidery was too slow, she had a whim, so she used both hands to embroider. "In fact, Yuxi learned this skill in the previous life, but it was useless for fear of causing suspicion. This time, he also used calligraphy to train his left and right hands to be very keen as an excuse.
This argument can be fooled by perilla, but it can't fool Grandma. Embroidery is completely different from calligraphy. Calligraphy can be practiced slowly, but two-handed embroidery can be done only by slowly practicing. It's just that the grandma has a lot of things, knowing what to ask and what not to ask. People who are too curious in the palace have died long ago and will not survive now: "If someone asks you in the future, you say that the girl has been practicing two-hand embroidery several years ago, and she has finally developed it recently."
Zisu didn't quite understand, but seeing Mother Quan didn't want to explain more, she nodded and said: "My mother's words, I've written down."
After embroidering for half an hour, Yuxi's eyes were astringent. After putting down the needle and thread in his hand, he said to the perilla standing beside him: "Put things away and embroider tomorrow." Yuxi didn't embroider much. Embroider one hour a day. Rao is like this, her eyes are a little bit unbearable
The embroidery frame was moved back to the study, and Mother Quan and Yuxi said, "Girl, some things still need to be careful. Just like you can embroider with your hands, this kind of thing will not happen overnight. If someone asks, you have to beware. One or two." Like Shisu's answer just now, she was suspicious. It would be bad for Yuxi's reputation to let those malicious people hear bad rumors.
Yuxi was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Mother is too worried. In the mansion, no one will talk nonsense."
Sister Quan felt that Yuxi's vigilance had dropped a lot, and said, "Girl, it's natural to have nothing to do in the Guogong Mansion now. But how about Chen's house?" Good habits must be maintained, and there can be no slack for a moment. This is the temperament that the grandmother developed in the palace. For example, in her hometown, even if a natural disaster occurs, the family can survive with her savings. As for the rebellion, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, the people will not do such a thing to destroy the whole family. But Grandma doesn't think so. Many things have been guarded, and even if there are things, they are not afraid. Yuxi's heart shuddered. Since adopting the family, she has indeed become lazy a lot. Nodded immediately and said: "The lesson of the mother is that I will pay attention to it in the future."
The thing that grandma likes Yuxi the most is that she can be persuaded. As long as it makes sense, she will listen: "Girl, from tomorrow, you will learn to cook medicated food."
Yuxi is a little puzzled, she has learned medicated diet a long time ago, okay! Why have to learn again.
Grandma Quan smiled and said: "The medicinal diet you used to learn is just some very simple. I will teach you tomorrow, it is a secret recipe in the palace that is not passed on. If you learn it, you will be able to use it for a lifetime." There are many prescriptions for nursing the body in my mother's hands, and the effects are also different. There are prescriptions for making the skin like snow, and there are prescriptions for slimming.
Yuxi's eyes lit up when she heard this. After that, Yuxi learned various skills with Grandma every morning, did embroidery work in the afternoon, and read books at night. Time is also very tight.
Within a month, Yuxi finally embroidered both fans.
After seeing it, Perilla couldn't help saying: "Girl, you are too trouble-free." The embroidery embroidered with bamboo only embroidered three bamboos and about twenty bamboo leaves. In addition, embroidered on the right. A poem. As for the embroidery given to Zhou Shiya, in addition to two goldfish, a lotus flower and two lotus leaves were also embroidered around. It cannot be said that it is not beautiful. On the contrary, the two embroidery pieces are very beautiful, but they look too refreshing. The so-called refreshing is too simple.
Yuxi smiled and said, "Simpler, more comfortable to see." She wanted to embroider a peacock, but it took a lot of work. There is enough time to embroider peacocks, enough time for her to embroider four or five such embroidery. These two pieces of embroidery are good enough, so why bother.
Zisu also understood Yuxi. After hearing this, she said helplessly: "Girls don't want to waste time and just say it, why bother to find such an excuse!" Reading is very good, and it feels like a waste of time to do embroidery. . Zisu didn't know what Yuxi was thinking.
Yuxi smiled, and did not answer the words of Perilla, but said, "When the two fans are ready, I will send them."
Shisu now also guessed that the bamboo embroidery was given to Chen Erye. At the time she guessed that it was still very happy. No way, Yuxi and Chen Ran acted too calmly after dating, so calm that Zisu felt that Yuxi was not satisfied with the marriage. Zisu has always worried that Yuxi will be dissatisfied and will not get along with Chen Ran when she gets married. Okay, don't worry about it now. The girl is willing to make a fan for Chen Erye, which shows that she has accepted the other party in her heart.
Zhou Shiya's is a group fan, so it's easier to make it. And the one given to Chen Ran was to be made into a folding fan, so it was a bit more difficult. So, it is already five days after the two fans are ready.
Yuxi looked at the two fans, smiled and wrapped the group fan embroidered with goldfish in a fan sleeve, called Xuntao, and asked her to send such a fan to Zhou's house.
Zhou Shiya saw the fan sleeve and opened it after receiving it. After reading it, I happily said: "I thought I would wait until the end of the year, but I didn't expect to embroider it now."
Looking for a peach and sweating, if Zhou Shiya knows the true speed of her own girl's embroidery work, I am afraid it will be impossible to be so happy.
After rewarding Xuntao heavily, Zhou Shiya happily took the Xinde ball fan and showed off with her mother and wife on Tuesday.
On Tuesday Madam heard Zhou Shiya's words, and poked her forehead and said: "If you embroidered this fan, I can wake up with a smile when I fall asleep. But you don't even look at the thing you embroidered yourself? Compare with this fan? Me? I blush for you."
Zhou Shiya didn't feel ashamed at all, and said, "Mother, I don't have the talent! Look at Yuxi, I didn't take much effort to develop double-sided embroidery on my own. I have been learning for several years, but the embroidery is not good for life and death. , Don’t blame me! Besides, even if I don’t know how to do embroidery, the maid around me can do it."
On Tuesday, my wife became more and more angry when she heard this: "What is it that you can't learn, obviously you are lazy and don't want to learn? I didn't ask you to learn Yuxi's good girl, but why don't you have a snack? The clothes worn on weekdays can be embroidered by the maidservant, but it is not necessary for the maidservant to embroider the gifts of the filial parents-in-law at the door?” According to the rules, the new daughter-in-law will go through the door, and the gift for the in-laws must be shoes and clothes made by the new daughter-in-law. Woolen cloth.
Originally, Zhou Shiya was very happy to receive such a gift, but after being trained by his wife on Tuesday, she was not in any mood. Cough, Zhou Shiya regretted it, she would not show it to her mother if she had known it, but went to show off with a few cousins first.
Chen Ran got his own gift the next day. Looking at the verdant bamboo on the folding fan, a smile appeared on his face. Chen Ran had heard that Yuxi would embroider on both sides, but he didn't expect to get a gift made by her herself so soon.
In a good mood, Chen Ran's expression was lightened a lot in the face of Madam Taining Hou, and he no longer cared about his coldness. Madam Taining Hou was both happy and curious: "Go and ask, what good things have happened to the second master?"
After a while, Mrs. Taining Hou knew that it was Yuxi who had given her son a folding fan. Lady Lin, who went to get the news, said, "Madam, the second master couldn't put it down since he got this gift, and he kept it next to him!"
Madam Taining Hou smiled and said, "We have seen that girl's embroidery, and it is indeed very good." Apart from other things, this hand is a pair of skillful hands. Moreover, Madam Taining Hou was also happy to make her son's attitude better.
Lin Pozi smiled and said, "Not only does the embroidery work well, but the butler is also a good hand."
Mrs. Taining Hou nodded and said: "It's really good. I almost missed a good girl because I was mistaken by the rumors outside." After hearing Qiu's words on the mountain, she asked people to inquire about Yuxi carefully and found Yu Although Hee has a little temperament, he has a good nature and is not as unbearable as the rumors outside. It's normal for a girl from a big family to have a little temperament.
Granny Lin knew that her wife had completely accepted Han Yuxi.
Yuxi didn't know that Madam Taining Hou's impression of her was greatly changed because of a folding fan. She is now immersed in reading!
Zisu came into the room and said, "Girl, Shi Ziye wants you to go to the study." Because of Han Jingyan's words, Yuxi didn't dare to go to Han Jianming's study. But now, Han Jingyan can't control her anymore, and there will be no such scruples.
Yuxi put down the book and went to Han Jianming's study: "Brother, what happened?" If it's okay, Han Jianming can't call her over.
Han Jianming said, "Don't you always want to know where Duan Xinrong has gone? I have found out. Duan Xinrong is now in Liaodong."
Yuxi was shocked, wide-eyed and asked, "In Liaodong? What are you doing in Liaodong?"
Han Jianming sighed slightly, and said, "In the largest brothel in eastern Liaoning. But she is a Qing dynasty, and she does not sell herself." His people had seen the portrait painted by Yuxi and knew Duan Xinrong's appearance, so that Recognize Duan Xin to melt out. Duan Xinrong has always been in her boudoir, and few people have seen her. Who can recognize Duan Xinrong after a facelift!
Yuxi was dumbfounded.
