Chapter 114
In order to embroider this Longevity Picture, Lin Daiyu even postponed her practice.
In the space, Zhou Hang couldn't help but said: "Yu'er, you are obedient and don't embroider, it hurts your eyes and your body. But it's just the emperor's birthday. It's not good for you to give it whatever you want. Why bother to go to such lengths?" It takes a lot of effort to embroider a picture of longevity, which makes people feel distressed."
Daiyu only heard the sentence "It makes people feel distressed", and felt that something soft touched her heart, which was warm, but also somewhat sour and sweet.Seeing her growing up in a deep boudoir, with a lot of girls and women serving her, in fact, there are times when she is tired and helpless.Sometimes the master is not so easy to do. A girl can ignore everything and live carefree all day long, but as the master, she can't simply ignore everything.
Sometimes the master is really busy when he is busy. For example, when there are banquets and celebrations at home, such as the year-end general ledger, preparing for the annual ceremony, and preparing for sacrifices, etc., he needs to do it himself.After all, although the management of the Lin family's servants is strict, it is inevitable that there will be people who steal and play tricks. There are two to 300 people up and down, and there may be mistakes if one place is not noticed.
It was only when Daiyu became the real head of the family that she realized how difficult it is to manage the family.
For more than a year, who has said to her that "it makes people feel distressed", even though her father loves her, he would not say such subtle words of comfort, but always tell her not to be tired, those It doesn't matter if you deal with it later.
But touching is moving, sweet is sweet, after all, Daiyu is a lady who grew up with traditional education in ancient times, and she is still a little shy after hearing such words.Her cheeks were already burning, and she blushed and said, "Stop talking, I know." Then she turned her head and ignored Zhou Hang.
Zhou Hang leaned forward and insisted on staring at Daiyu's face, but Daiyu still turned her head away, Zhou Hang also got up and ran to the opposite side of Daiyu, still staring.After watching it for a while, Zhou Hang understood what was going on with Daiyu, and he felt a little clear in his heart.If he stared at a girl like this, even a modern girl would be embarrassed, let alone a lady in ancient times.
Thinking of this, Zhou Hang no longer stared at Daiyu, but sat down next to Daiyu, and said: "If you don't know what birthday gift to give, I will help you find a way to ensure that those people will see it brightly. how?"
Daiyu thought for a while and said: "This is not right. I have already said that I want to embroider the picture of longevity. How can I give up lightly? What's more, I don't know if people outside have heard of it, but people in the house know it." Not much. As the saying goes, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. Even if the people outside don’t know today, they will know tomorrow. Talking about it behind your back."
Zhou Hang disagreed a little, he said, "No matter what, there will always be people who are picky, and you don't have to worry about those outsiders. So what if outsiders gossip? Who would dare to embarrass you face to face in your capacity? If anyone dares , you tell me, I will help you vent your anger!"
It's not that Daiyu is afraid of people's gossip, what Zhou Hang said is right, people in this world are always tolerant of themselves and harsh to others, no matter what, some people will find fault with their bones.Since entering Beijing, she has met all kinds of people. Many people smile at you on the surface, and turn their heads to speak ill of you.
It's not like she hasn't been told.
Anyway, no matter what you do, there will always be people who don't like it, and there will always be people who gossip behind your back.If everyone cares about it, it's still too much to worry about.
In fact, she just felt that no matter how difficult she was determined to do, she should not give up lightly.
After all, the matter has not yet reached the final moment, so how can you know it will not work.
"I said, why are you so stubborn!" Zhou Hang frowned, staring at Daiyu's busy hands threading needles, feeling a little irritable.
"How about this." Daiyu raised her head, "You prepare the gift first, and if I really can't embroider it well before the Supreme Emperor's Longevity Day, then I can use your gift." Having said that, Daiyu actually planned to finish the embroidery by herself, but Just work harder.She knew in her heart that she could still complete it if she had to hurry up. The reason why she said this was just to appease Zhou Hang.
Seeing that Daiyu insisted on this, Zhou Hang couldn't bear to force her.He really didn't care whether Daiyu practiced or not, he was just afraid that Daiyu would be tired.He also knew that no matter how much he told Daiyu not to be tired or tired, she probably would not hear it.So Zhou Hang didn't say these words, he wanted to protect Daiyu's health with practical actions.As for what practical action?He planned to spend more time with Daiyu recently, saying that he was accompanying, but in fact he was just staring at her.Stare at her, and don't allow her to bother too much.
In fact, with Daiyu's current cultivation base, embroidering a picture of longevity will not threaten her health even if she spends some energy, but Zhou Hang is reluctant to let her suffer a little bit of travel and tiredness, just thinking that she can I am happy every day.
A few days later, things turned around.One day, when Daiyu was embroidering, she suddenly thought of whether she could control the needle and thread with magic power.With this idea, Daiyu immediately put it into action.In the beginning, he just condensed the zhenqi in his body into a force to control a needle and thread, and he succeeded after a few tries.Because there is no need to embroider one stitch at a time, you just need to control the position and angle of the embroidery with your mental strength, which is much faster than doing it yourself.
Then Daiyu tried to control the two needles and threads at the same time.
This is much more difficult than a needle and thread. Not only does it have to disperse two strands of true energy, but it also needs to be able to do two things at once, and requires higher and more refined control of mental power.After practicing for three full days, Daiyu finally grasped the essentials.Then there are three, four, half a month later, Daiyu has been able to control five needles and threads to embroider at the same time.By this time, the Longevity Map has basically been completed.
Although Daiyu spent a lot of energy during this period, she received a lot of money.Through this more precise application of mana, Daiyu's cultivation has improved to a higher level.In less than a month, even if Daiyu did not embroider the Longevity Picture but practiced day and night, she would not have received such a big harvest.Sometimes the world is so impermanent, what you thought you gave up, in fact, you did not lose, but got more.
Although Daiyu has already embroidered the picture of longevity, except for Zhou Hang, it cannot be announced to the outside world.The servants around Daiyu didn't know that the Longevity Picture had been embroidered, and the maids thought that Daiyu was busy embroidering things every day when she stayed in the room by herself, and everyone was in a hurry, but there was nothing they could do, so they had to Every day, I think of a way to make all kinds of soups and medicines in the kitchen for Lin Daiyu to eat.
Although Daiyu had no interest in these sloppy things, the girls were all kind-hearted, and she couldn't bear to brush their hearts off.As a result, most of the countless soups and waters went into the stomach of the big black cat, and Daiyu only drank a small part.
Yingchun has been married for half a year. Although Daiyu doesn't see her often, she often sends her maid to visit.
It is said that Yingchun's husband is a very handsome young son, without the dandyism of ordinary children of aristocratic families. He only focuses on studying and works hard. In the future, it should be no problem to become an official through the imperial examination.What satisfies Daiyu the most is that he treats Yingchun very well.Before he got married, there were two maids in his room who were placed by his grandmother when he was 16 years old.Before getting married, he took the initiative to send the two maids out.When Yingchun got married and heard about this, she was naturally very moved.
In addition to the main room, wealthy families would have several concubines. Yingchun didn't want people who didn't know her to say that she was jealous. He once asked him to choose one of his dowry girls as a concubine, but he refused.Since then, Yingchun has been serving her husband wholeheartedly, and he is the only one in her eyes.
Three months after they got married, Yingchun was found out to be pregnant, and she stayed at home to protect the baby until she was four months pregnant, and the baby sat firmly, and then gradually came out to move around.
After visiting her parents, Yingchun came to Lin's mansion to see Daiyu.
Looking at Yingchun's slightly swollen belly, Daiyu felt a sense of wonder.Recalling that when I first went to Jia's mansion, Cousin Yingchun was only ten years old, four or five years had passed before I knew it, and it was really time for Cousin Yingchun to become a mother in the blink of an eye.
In two or three years, she would also get married, conceive and have children. Thinking of this, she felt a little unspeakable emotion.
At one moment, I felt that the matter of pregnancy and childbirth was far away from me, and at the other moment I felt that I was very close to me. It was only two or three years, and it passed in the blink of an eye.But thinking that he will marry Zhou Hang in the future, he feels that he is not so uncertain.If she was like her cousin Yingchun marrying someone she had never even met once, Daiyu really didn't know what would happen to her.
Daiyu specially ordered the kitchen to cook some meals suitable for pregnant women, Yingchun ate a lot, Daiyu was slightly surprised, but she didn't show it.
After drinking a bowl of yam pork rib soup, Yingchun took the handkerchief handed over by Siqi and wiped her mouth lightly, pursing her lips with a bit of embarrassment and smiling: "I am pregnant with this baby myself, what did I eat in the first three months to vomit?" What, even the bile was vomited out at the most serious time. But there is no way, the pregnant person has to endure no matter how hard it is for the sake of the child. After eating and vomiting, it is easy to survive for three months without vomiting, but Appetite increased, so..." Speaking of this, she looked at Daiyu, covered her mouth and said, "Sister, don't mind."
Daiyu hurriedly said: "It's a good thing to be able to eat. The baby in my sister's belly will grow fast if she eats a lot. I'm afraid that the food here won't suit my sister's appetite."
After dinner, Yingchun and Daiyu were sitting and talking. Daiyu saw that although Yingchun was smiling, there was a look of worry on her brows. She wanted to ask her what was worrying her, but she didn't know where to start.After finally asking in a roundabout way, Yingchun just smiled and said that everything is going well for her now that the child is also pregnant, and there is nothing to worry about.
Daiyu shook Yingchun's hand, sat down next to her, and said "sister", "sister, although you and I are cousins, I treat my sister as my own sister, and I believe my sister must be the same. "
With tears in her eyes, Yingchun grabbed Daiyu's hand and cried out "Sister!", and burst into tears, "Sister's words have reached my heart. I am the same as my sister. There are no sisters who are close relatives, some are just cousins. But when I was in the most difficult situation, they all stood by and watched, and only my sister made plans for me and tried my best. Since then, my sister has always been in my heart It's closer than a real sister..."
Daiyu said: "Since that's the case, what else can't my sister tell my sister?"
Hearing this, Yingchun pursed her lips, her eyes struggled, and her face gradually turned red, "It's not that I didn't tell my sister, it's really this matter... You're a young lady who hasn't left the court, so I can't tell you..."
Seeing her like this, Daiyu vaguely understood.
Most of the men are lewd, and they have to flaunt themselves as suave.Historically, in wealthy families, when the housewife is pregnant, she will give her husband a concubine to make room for her husband. Although Cousin Yingchun is pregnant, I have never heard of her taking a concubine or making room for her husband. Could it be that the man did something wrong? A good deal.
But what Yingchun said was right, she shouldn't be asking this matter about a girl who hasn't left the court.
Daiyu thought it would be better to let Yu Wan inquire about it later, if this is the case, let's see the attitude of cousin Yingchun.
