Xing Xiuyan's Life in the Red Mansion

Xing Xiuyan didn't know why Wang Xifeng looked at her differently, nor did she know whether such a different look was a good thing or a bad thing for her.Of course, at present, this is indeed a good thing.But people have solved the trouble for themselves, so I can't express nothing at all.

"Mother, you open the box later, I'll find some good materials, and make some clothes for Sister Tong and Brother Gui!" Xing Xiuyan felt that she had nothing but a little handicraft, although the Jia family did not lack Needleworkers, Jia Mengtong and Jia Gui also have clothes to wear, but this is all she can do now.For Wang Xifeng's kindness to her, if there is an opportunity in the future, she will definitely repay her.

"That's right, you wait, I'll wash my hands and go." Mrs. Xing Liu thought for a while and said, "Your craftsmanship is good, and the clothes are more delicate. It should be a little bit of our heart."

Xing Xiuyan nodded, at present, she can only do this.

After choosing the material, Xing Xiuyan looked at the silk thread at home, and found that it was still a little short. After thinking about it, she said, "Mother, come with me and buy some silk thread!" buy something.

Mrs. Xing Liu obviously also thought of this, and nodded, "Okay, I'll pack up and go right away."

The mother and daughter went to a shop they often go to. The shopkeeper smiled when he saw Xing Xiuyan, "Hey, Miss Xing is here! Is there any good embroidery for consignment this time?"

Xing Xiuyan smiled, "Not for the time being, I don't have much embroidery thread at home, come here to buy some embroidery thread. By the way, there are a few patterns, I don't know if the shopkeeper would be interested."

The shopkeeper smiled, "Girl, this is the best embroidery thread. The girl chooses it herself. The patterns of the girl's flowers are all very good, and the guests like them very much!"

Xing Xiuyan smiled, picked out some good silk threads, and then handed over the fresh flower patterns that she had drawn these days to the shopkeeper, who took the pattern with a smile and nodded, "This one is a magpie on a plum blossom, another There are new ideas, the girl is really ingenious! How did you think of these? I want all these patterns. The price is the same as before." Looking at the embroidery thread that Xing Xiuyan chose, "Let's do it, the girl chose today There is no need to pay for these embroidery threads.”

However, Xing Xiuyan knew that these pictures of hers were not worth the money for these embroidery threads, "How can this be done, I can't let the shopkeeper suffer!" As he said, he took out his purse.Mrs. Xing and Liu met at the side, and she was very anxious. Everyone said that they don't want money, why didn't this silly boy listen!

The shopkeeper waved his hand, "Miss, you can't say that. The embroidery that you consigned to me in the past earned me a lot of money. These are just trivial things. Don't be too polite, ma'am. My family’s Caiyunzhai can just sell it on consignment.” This is the truth, although the embroidery of this girl from the Xing family is good, it is not without it outside, but the things embroidered by her hands are full of aura, which is similar to ordinary embroidery. The embroidered mother is different from rigid, lifelike and vivid.The shopkeeper of Han Meitu alone got a reward of 100 taels of silver from it last time.The shopkeeper is not stupid, so he naturally knows the principle of making money with harmony.

Xing Xiuyan saw that the shopkeeper insisted on not wanting it, and she couldn't do what she did in the past, so she had to take back the purse, "In that case, I would like to thank the shopkeeper. I have newly embroidered a picture of eight steeds, and it will be ready in a month." , and send it to the shopkeeper immediately when the time comes."

The shopkeeper became more and more happy when he heard about it, "Come on, then I'll wait." After finishing speaking, he graciously sent the mother and daughter of the Xing family out of the house.

When the shopkeeper came back, he found someone standing in the room, "Yo, Lord Hou, why did you come out?"

Yun Qingran stood there, looking at the backs of the Xing family's mother and daughter, this was the third time!

The shopkeeper followed Li Pingsheng's eyes to look out, and said with a smile: "Master Hou really looks at that girl from the Xing family? The picture of cold plum blossoms presented to the eldest princess a few months ago was made by this girl! The princess likes it very much! She also said that as long as it is embroidered by her in the future, it will be sent to the princess mansion!"

Yun Qingran smiled, "It's rare that mother likes it!" Is it the picture of Han Mei?No wonder my father liked plum blossoms the most during his lifetime!

"Master Hou, go slowly!" The shopkeeper bent down and sent Yun Qingran away.After the people had left, Fugui, the clerk in the store, came up to him, "Shopkeeper, is that our Lord Hou?"

The shopkeeper said proudly: "Exactly! Our master is the son of the eldest princess, the nephew of the current emperor's direct relative, and the new Marquis of Yongping. Remember, all the shops in the capital with the word "cloud" are under the name of the Hou's mansion. Industry." Naturally, Caiyunzhai also did the same.

Fugui suddenly realized, "No wonder our business is so good, and no one came to make trouble! That's how it is!"

"Just remember, you are not allowed to show arrogance, and you are not allowed to be arrogant. When Lord Hou was still the eldest son, the rules were strict. If anyone dares to act recklessly by taking advantage of the power of the Hou family, he will be severely punished!" The shopkeeper said sharply.

Fugui immediately suppressed the idea that had just arisen arrogantly, "I know, shopkeeper." Caiyunzhai's treatment and welfare are good, so he squeezed his way in.Don't be kicked out!Turning around and seeing someone coming in, Fu Gui hurriedly nodded and walked over, "What does this lady want to see?"

The shopkeeper stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction.

The Xing family's mother and daughter returned home, and Xing Liushi was relieved. Although he believed what Lian's second grandma said, Xing Liushi was still afraid that the Xue family uncle would jump out from some corner, and finally arrived home safely.Xing Xiuyan sat in the yard and divided the embroidery thread, looking at the silk who stood on the side and stared at her eagerly, Xing Xiuyan thought for a while, and took out a ball of embroidery thread from the sewing basket, "Here, follow me to learn the thread first! This is for you to practice."

Then he demonstrated to Lingluo: "This thread is the most difficult to test people's eyesight. It is said that someone divided one embroidery thread into 32 strands."

Ling Luo's eyes widened in surprise, "Is it just this thread? 32 strands?" She looked at the thread in her hand in disbelief. "What about the girl? How many shares can the girl divide into?"

Xing Xiuyan smiled, "I, can be divided into 26 shares at most."

"It's amazing! Girl, can I do it too?" Ling Luo asked enviously.

"Calm down and practice hard, one day you will do it." Xing Xiuyan pursed her lips and smiled. She didn't believe she could do it at first, but since she traveled here, the biggest gain is learning to meditate.At that time, their family didn't have enough food to wear, and there was no other way out. The only thing Xing Xiuyan thought about at that time was to learn embroidery well and improve his life.

In the evening, Xing Zhong came back. Not long after eating, he was dragged into the yard by his daughter to tinker with the mop.It's not difficult to do. Find a wooden stick, nail a nail on one end, then fix the end of the iron wire on the nail, then string the cut cloth strips one by one, and finally wrap the iron wire tightly to fix it. Well, a simple mop is ready.

Xing Xiuyan looked at the mop in his hand with a smile, and asked Mrs. Fang to bring some water, soaked the mop in it, and then squeezed the water half dry, "Okay, it's much more convenient to use this to mop the floor."

Mrs. Xing Liu came over, tried it, and said happily: "Yes! It's much more convenient. You can try it too."

Mrs. Fang took the mop, took it off the floor of the main room a few times, and said happily: "It's really more convenient, and my back won't hurt anymore. The girl is really smart!" Mrs. Fang looked at Xing Xiuyan gratefully, she naturally knew that the mop, the girl, It was done for herself, she is grateful for the girl's love!

Mrs. Xing Liu's mind turned quickly, "Say, can this mop be sold for silver? Or should we just sell this mop recipe to the grocery store?"

Xing Zhong looked at her helplessly, "Why do you think of money for everything!"

"Nonsense! No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat! Tomorrow, I'll go to Zhang Ji grocery store and ask." Mrs. Xing Liu gave him a blank look, and others don't know what's going on in his house, doesn't he?It's only been a few good days, are you just pretending to be garlic here?

Xing Xiuyan felt that this idea was good, and she said now: "Why don't I draw this production method and take it with mother, it's better to let father make another one, and then take it together and keep it for my own use. But, mother, this The mop is easy to make, and can be made by others with a little attention, and it is very easy to counterfeit, so when the mother asks for a price, don't ask too much, it is almost enough."

Xing Liu said angrily: "Don't worry! Your mother, I am not greedy!" Then he urged Xing Zhong, "Hurry up, hurry up, make another one."

Xing Zhong shook his head helplessly, not daring to refute, and continued to do it honestly.

Xing Xiuyan smiled, and turned to go into her bedroom. She lived alone in the west wing, Xing Zhong and Xing Liu lived in the east wing, and Mrs. Fang and Ling Luo lived in the west corner room.Originally, Mrs. Xing Liu wanted Ling Luo to sleep in her room so that she could take care of her.But Xing Xiuyan was used to sleeping alone, and seeing that Lingluo was young, she let her sleep with Mrs. Fang.

Xing Xiuyan was sitting on the kang, dividing the thread under the lamp. Mrs. Xing Liu came in hurriedly. Seeing that she was dividing the thread, she breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you were going to do needlework! It's so late at night, don't break it." Eyes! Now our family is not the same as before, so you don't have to tire yourself too much."

Xing Xiuyan smiled, "I know mother, I love my own eyes very much! Besides, I drink pork liver soup every day. I also drink wolfberry and chrysanthemum tea every day."

"It's good that you know, well, don't make it too late, rest earlier, and do it again in the daytime tomorrow. I'm going to see your father!" Mrs. Xing Liu came and went in a hurry.

Xing Xiuyan smiled, lowered her head and parted the meeting line. After about two quarters of an hour, she felt a little tired, so she tidied up the things on the table, and asked Ling Luo to bring in some hot water through the window. After washing, she went to I got out of bed, put down the bed curtain, and did some yoga on the bed, which is said to help sleep, and then I lay down, and fell into a deep sleep after a while.
