rich concubine

Chapter 2678
My mother always said that swords, guns, swords and halberds were used by men and barbarians, and were definitely not something a woman should get involved with. Her hands should be threading needles and threads, playing with the strings of the piano, and writing poems and paintings.

My mother hated seeing the immodest and unladylike side of herself. She trained herself to be a master of all kinds of "martial arts", but she also lost herself.

When I was young, I heard my eldest sister and others say that what my mother loved most was to lead them to the mountains with a bow and arrow on her back to catch pheasants and rabbits.

My mother was affectionate and would roast the pheasants she caught and eat them on the spot, but she would also bring a cage with her carefully. The rabbits she caught only suffered skin injuries. She would put the rabbits in the cages alive and bring them back to them. Recuperate from his injuries and keep him in the house as a play pet for his sisters.

My mother said that in the past, I had to go up the mountain to catch these things because I had little food to eat and had to rely on hunting for a living. However, life is much easier now. I don’t need to go up the mountain to hunt to survive, so I can naturally do these things for fun.

She had never seen her mother's radiant appearance at that time. Her brothers and sisters said that her mother at that time had a real smile, the light in her eyes was real, and her whole person was full of flavor.

But now, in this big mansion full of calculations, she has to wear a lady's smile and a dignified posture. Her calloused hands can no longer hold a long bow, but have to learn to drink tea and arrange flowers. , be a virtuous person.

She seems to be incompatible with these people, but she blends in. She and her father have never dealt with each other, but at these times, she is the only one who would think of saving some face for her father.

She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt a little tired. There was a lot of people outside, and the laughter of the young men and the voices of the ladies all made her feel hollow.

This time, Jiang Shuyi became very quiet. She who always likes to gamble was unusually silent today.

The eldest lady noticed her abnormality and looked at her several times. Finally she couldn't bear it anymore. There were so many wives of princes and nobles here today, but she just pretended to be mute.

"I heard you talking about the excitement just now, but why was it so quiet when we came?"

The lady who spoke was grand and not very good-looking, but her words and appearance made people extremely comfortable.

The ladies blushed, but they were all generous.

"Replying to Madam, we were just talking about the embroidery for the coming year. What should we embroider? I am used to embroidering birds, flowers and fish, so I always want to find something different."

Mrs. Liu thought for a while and said: "There is an everlasting pine on Qingshan Temple. The pine tree is very eye-catching. If you don't know what to embroider, you can embroider the everlasting pine. It is wild and has a good meaning."

"Anything can be embroidered. My daughter recently traced the patterns of some of her favorite hairpins at home. The hairpins will have a unique flavor when embroidered according to them. There is no need to stick to flowers or grass."

"Exactly, I remember when I was young, the servant at home raised a nest of chicks. They looked so cute. My mother asked me to embroider lotus flowers, but I insisted on embroidering those chicks. I was so angry. My mother slapped my palms and said I was not elegant enough."

After Mrs. Liu finished speaking, everyone started chatting, and the person who was talking to her continued: "Now, let's embroider some common things. You can embroider whatever you like. Also, my youngest daughter likes to watch some strange stories recently." , after listening to some of what was said in it, she wanted to draw it. I looked at it horribly, but she still felt that it was not detailed enough."
