    The room was quiet for a while, the wife lowered her head slightly, lowered the look in her eyes, took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "After three months, it will be the birthday of Mrs. Anguo's mansion. As in-laws, we must present a congratulatory gift.  For a few days, I thought that Liu Yatou is the best female celebrity among your sisters, so she embroidered the screen with a picture of the old man, what do you think?" Seeing that everyone had no words, they looked at Liu Xiangwan: "Liu Yatou, how dare you accept it?"  ?¡±

    Liu Xiangwan stood up and blessed her body: "This is my daughter's blessing. "Book of Rites" says: 70 days old, 80 days old, and a hundred years old. The "cat" and "old man" in the picture of the rich and the old are  "Butterfly" and "°Ë" are both homophonic, and peony is known as "the flower of wealth and honor", so folks combine cats, butterflies and peonies and call it "old and rich".

    The wife nodded with a smile: "Liu Yatou is right, it means longevity," and said: "Don't be jealous, if someone among you stands up, I will leave this important matter to you, but if the embroidery is not good  I will severely punish the tired family, and I will severely punish them." Looking around, they both bowed their heads and said in a slow tone, "Six girls, if you embroider, how should you match this picture of the rich and the old?"

    Liu Xiangwan thought about it: "My daughter uses satin as the surface, colorful silk as the hue, red flowers, green leaves, blue butterflies and white cats, the dancing butterflies sway like flying, the cat leans up to tease the butterflies, and the bright and tender peonies  For the stillness, the cat and the butterfly are for the movement, there is movement in the stillness, complementing each other, embroidered into a screen."

    The third sister interjected at this time: "How about embroidering two vases on the screen, the pictures on the vases are Xiangyun Liri and Fu (bat), Lu (deer) and Shou (Shouxing old man), and there are longevity flowers in the vases."  The forget-worry-grass and the peony, which symbolize wealth and honor, mean "Forget worry and longevity, wealth and peace", dedicated to the old lady to give the meaning of wealth and longevity, mother, what do you think?"

    After hearing what her daughter said, the smile on the corner of the wife's mouth deepened, and she said three times: "Okay, okay, okay People look forward to years, tall trees and spring, which really means longevity. Six girls, if you embroider like this, you may have embroidered  , How long will it take to complete the work?¡±

    It was the first time for Liu Xiangwan to experience such a difficult embroidery, so she thought for a moment: "The congratulatory gift for the old lady must be luxurious and exquisite. If I embroider it alone, it will take more than two months. Besides, we are in Suzhou now, two kilometers away from the capital."  Thousands of miles away, this journey will take about ten days, and the time may be a little tight."

    "Then it's better to ask your third sister to help you. Although her embroidery is not as good as yours, but fortunately, you are all apprentices from Aunt Huang, and the needle and thread embroidery methods are the same. If you are too busy, let your third sister embroider if it is easier."

    Liu Xiangwan looked grateful and said: "Thank you, mother, for your understanding," she looked up and said to the third sister in shame, "It's because my sister is not good at learning, and she is so tired that third sister helps, it's my sister's fault."

    The third sister hurriedly walked to her side, gently holding her arm: "My sister, why bother to talk about it, my sister is really outstanding, if she is too busy, my sister will call me to help."

    After all, she was baptized by her wife's advice, what the third sister said today is not as sneering and sarcastic as in the past.

    "Sister, don't laugh at my sister. This time I have to be so tired that my sister and I will complete this screen."

    Seeing her being so affectionate, the third sister couldn't help but upturned her mouth and said, "Sister has such a sweet mouth."

    On the way back, Zhaodi puffed up her cheeks and stomped her feet angrily. Zhaoyin frowned and tugged at her sleeves, but she still couldn't stop her short temper, so Liu Xiangwan sighed and held her hand: "Now we  It is still in the wife¡¯s yard, if it is heard by someone with a heart and spread to the wife¡¯s ears, it will definitely punish our master and servant for the crime of disobedience.¡±

    Fearing the majesty of his wife after all, Zhaodi shuddered, and promised in a low voice with a depressed face.

    Back in the house, Zhaodi couldn't wait to tell Mama Zhao what happened in the wife's yard. Mama Zhao's face flushed red, and her body trembled with anger: "Girl, what's the meaning of Madam? Take it away without authorization."  The Fifth Young Master let the girl embroider such a complicated screen, she is so old, how could she finish it by herself, she was rushing to work day and night just for the order of the wife, and if the girl embroidered by herself, it would be fine.  The third girl, to put it nicely, is the girl who takes the lead and the third girl assists, but anyone with a discerning eye can't see that this is to put all the credit on the third girl.  Make a wedding dress."

    "Mom, take Zhaoyin to your wife to get the silk thread later." Liu Xiangwan can't help it, it's like the boss assigns you a job, you have to complete the job on time and as required, otherwise you will not be the one who suffers in the end.

    And start work as soon as possible, and get rid of it as soon as possible!

    Zhaoyin couldn't help but come up with an idea: "Girl, why don't we ask Auntie to help you?"

    Liu Xiangwan shook her head: "As far as female celebrities are concerned, there are not a few capable people in the Suzhou mansion, why doesn't my wife invite them to come over the mansion, and besides, my aunt's embroidery skills are better than others., pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "In my opinion, I'm afraid it's because the third girl has also reached the marriageable age, and it's time to pass the news to Beijing."

    The second girl's eyes lit up: "So, the wife is going to find a family for the third sister?" She is two years older than the third sister, and has already reached the age of engagement, but the wife has not said anything, she is really anxious  ¡­

    "The old slave thinks so too"

    The second girl sat on the chair, bowed her head and thought back and forth, since the wife is looking for someone for the third sister, what about her?  Do you stay in Suzhou or marry back to the capital like a big sister? If you marry in the capital, it will be better than being married by your wife at random here. Besides, what kind of place is the capital?  Due to my age and my wife's abnormality, my wife hasn't taken her out to meet guests in the past year. Could it be that she is planning to go back to Beijing to find young talents for her? Thinking of this, the whole person radiates a different kind of light, and looks at Mama Su with bright eyes.  Holding her arm tightly: "Mom, if I can also marry in the capital, will I be like a big sister in the future and be in charge of the important affairs of the family, and no one will look down on me because of my status as a concubine.  "

    Mother Su smiled bitterly in her heart: "I have watched the girl grow up slowly these years. No one knows the girl's ambition, but her status as a concubine can't be changed no matter what.  girl¡­¡­"

    "Girl, if this is the case, you need to be more low-key in the future. After all, your marriage is in the hands of your wife. This old slave wants to live a few days and the weather is getting colder. Why don't you embroider a cloak for your wife."

    The second girl covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "What mother said is very true." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
