green bamboo dream

The room is quiet, early autumn is really a time of high weather, so staying in the room is extremely comfortable, Yu Zhu is sitting by the window in a daze, not knowing what she is thinking, Mama Tian, ​​Gu Xiang and Cui Wei Standing on the side, they all had smiles on their faces. 【】

Some mischievous autumn wind blew past the window wrapped in a fallen leaf, and immediately woke Yu Zhu up. She gathered herself together, and said through gritted teeth: "Cuiwei, go and bring my embroidery frame, your lady wants to practice embroidery." Female red."

Cui smiled and Fu went down.

Mama Tian forced herself to be serious and said, "This servant will definitely guide Miss well."

Yuzhu sighed depressingly. What she dislikes the most is embroidery. It is eye-consuming and time-consuming. It takes several years to complete a large embroidery piece, which is mixed with various complicated stitches and dazzling colors. The line is really a test of people's patience.Looking at his slender, pink and onion-like hands, he flicked his fingertips pretendingly, and said with a mournful face, "Mother Tian, ​​please be merciful."

Tian's mother said with a serious face: "Miss, I have to fight. The second lady is only 12 years old. The Su-style embroidery method is so vivid. The lady is not without talent. Why can't I have some snacks? You know, female celebrities are right. How important it is to women, how can it be ignored."

It's not that Yu Zhu doesn't understand, it's just that she really doesn't want to fight with Yulan. No matter how good the female celebrity is, what's the use of it, she still can't change her status as a concubine, so what does it matter if you think about who is good and who is bad?The disapproval in my heart unconsciously showed on my face.

Seeing Yuzhu's expression, Tian's mother's face suddenly sank, and her voice was really angry: "Quickly get rid of those thoughts, how can Miss be so confused, the back house is like a battlefield, the worst thing is Underestimating the enemy, making one mistake, and losing everything is really a disadvantage, even if it is a daughter-in-law, the best result is to marry far away."

Ignoring Yu Zhu who obediently listened to the training, Mama Tian's eyes were empty, as if she had fallen into a long memory, she regained her composure for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Isn't the birth mother of the Holy Majesty today born from a palace maid? When two girls enter the palace, the concubine's daughter is just a little Zhaoyi, but the concubine's daughter is made a concubine, and if they meet, the concubine's daughter has to salute the concubine's daughter instead."

Mother Tian glanced at Yuzhu again, and said, "Miss's aunt has already entered the palace, so the girls of the Lin family's generation will get married on their own, so don't worry about the situation just now. But this is Dengzhou, Master Lin Her official position is prominent, so naturally no one will provoke her, but once she enters the capital, the young lady will naturally go out to socialize and be guests frequently, and there will definitely be some open and secret competitions. If the young lady is still not careful, then the reputation of being a bad actress Once it spreads..."

Yuzhu coaxed a bit in his head, yes, this is Dengzhou, how could he ignore such a serious problem.At this time, Cuiwei and Gu Xiang had already moved the embroidery frame, Yu Zhu immediately stood up, respectfully performed a disciple salute to Tian's mother, and said sincerely: "Please teach me, mother."

Mother Tian nodded slightly, accepted the salute calmly, and focused on pointing Yuzhu.

After about an hour of embroidery, Tian's mother asked Yuzhu to stop and said, "You can't become a fat man with one bite. It will take a long time to waste your eyes. Stop and rest for a while before continuing."

After all, I found an emerald jade ring from Yuzhu's box, tied it with a silk thread, and asked Gu Xianglai to hold the other end of the thread, shaking it slightly in front of Yuzhu's eyes, a bit like a modern hypnosis , Yu Zhu looked at Tian's mother with some doubts, and asked, "What's the use of looking at it like this?"

Mama Tian was satisfied with Yuzhu's insight, and replied: "This is still the method in the palace. Frequent reading can make the eyes quicker, and it can also relieve the eyes from fatigue."

Yu Zhu understood, no wonder she was so familiar with it, it turned out that it was true that women in ancient costume stories used this method to make their eyes sparkle and coquettish, so they obediently followed suit.

Tian's mother looked at Yu Zhu's beautiful big eyes flickering, which made her beautiful face more vivid and lovely, and she smiled with satisfaction. Yes, the stitches are much finer and finer, and the young lady drew them in elementary school again, so you don't have to worry about the outline of the pattern. After a few more days of practice, you should be able to learn how to cut cloth and make clothes.

Over there, Mrs. Cui knew about it, and felt that it was extremely correct and wise to keep Mama Tian.

Yulan heard that Yuzhu was practicing embroidery hard, so she went to "visit" in a good mood, and took her favorite purse with her.

Cuiwei who was standing at the door saw Yulan swaying in while supporting Luwei's hand, curled her lips slightly, and stepped forward with a smile, "Second Miss is here."

Yulan didn't even glance at Cuiwei from the corner of her eyes, and went in with her head held high. Yuzhu was thinking about how to embroider the fur on the kitten's body. When she heard Yulan coming, she quickly got up and said with a smile, "Sister Lan, why are you here?" Come on, please sit down, Gu Xiang is going to pour tea."

"I heard that my sister is learning embroidery, so my sister also wants to get in touch with her. If there is anything you don't understand, just ask." Yu Lan really deserved the hard work Cui Shi and Xu's mother put in, she was very arrogant and impulsive.Yuzhu smiled slightly, took the purse from Luwei's hand, and saw a pair of red-crowned cranes vividly embroidered on Songjiang's three-shuttle blue cloth, almost flying out, she couldn't help admiring sincerely: "Sister's handwork is really bright , My sister is ashamed of herself."

Yulan smiled proudly, she felt better, and she would not bother Yuzhu anymore. After sitting for a while, she saw that Yuzhu was really humbly asking for advice, but she felt bored and didn't want to teach, so she made an excuse left.

"It's no wonder Mother has to spend so much effort to raise Sister Yulan like this. If she's smart, I don't think I'll have such a good life." Yuzhu couldn't tell what she was feeling in her heart, stuffy and sour, For Yulan, for Cui Shi, and for my future self.

At Sishi, a little maid brought chestnut cakes. It turned out that on the ninth day of September, the big kitchen made chestnut cakes as usual and sent them to various courtyards. The hot, fragrant and soft glutinous chestnut cakes were very popular.Yuzhu kept a few pieces and gave the rest to the little girls. The chestnut cakes eaten by the masters were naturally much better than those made by the girls themselves in terms of materials and craftsmanship. The little girls were all overjoyed. Go down and eat.

Mrs. Cui had already sent someone to send cornel, just to make sense of it, and the chrysanthemum wine, although it looks very beautiful, the wine is crystal clear in the light golden glass cup, and the yellow petals of the chrysanthemum are soaked in it. Too beautiful to drink.

Yuzhu is not blessed to drink, Cui always thinks that alcohol is something wrong, and always restricts and restricts the alcohol in the house, a man cannot avoid drinking when he walks in the world, that's all right, Yuzhu was strictly ordered by Cui No alcohol allowed.

Although she couldn't taste the pleasing chrysanthemum wine, Yuzhu didn't regret it. She focused all her attention on the crabs. Dengzhou is also one of the places where crabs are abundant. Thinking of the big fat crabs in previous years, Yu Zhu couldn't help swallowing secretly.

Mother Tian coughed severely, dissatisfied with Yuzhu's unruly appearance, and said, "Miss, I think I haven't learned the rules well, you should know..."

"You must know that virtue lies in tranquility, and sex lies in submissiveness. Tranquility and leisure, dignity and sincerity are the virtues of a woman. Filial piety teaches benevolence, kindness and submissiveness, and virtue is ready." Yuzhu imitated Tian Ma's tone, Said straightly.

Tian's mother couldn't help laughing anymore, looking at Yuzhu's eyes with a kindness that she had never seen before, she couldn't help pinching Yuzhu's pink, tender and snowy cheeks, and said with a smile: "Don't steal now. If you are greedy, learn the stitching method of pinching and embroidery carefully, and later, Mama Tian will cook in person, and keep it a new pattern that you have never tried before."

"Really, you mustn't forget." Yu Zhu is indeed a foodie, as soon as food is mentioned, she instantly perks up. "Then let's start. The denser stitches here will be more realistic." I muttered to myself thinking about the embroidery pattern. Mother Tian just stood and watched with a smile, and didn't plan to go forward. After all, embroidery is a master. Leaders practice on their own, depending on how outstanding your master is, it's useless if your apprentice can't practice hand feeling.

In the evening, Tian's mother did not break her promise, and guessing that it was time for Yuzhu's supper, she went to the small kitchen.Yu Zhu had already eaten steamed crabs at night, and they were really fat, sweet, and delicious. Now that she was not so greedy, she followed Mama Tian to the kitchen to try to steal a lesson.

Mama Tian looked at the kitchen in a daze, and touched the stove lightly with nostalgia.Mama Zhong and Mama Yu stood aside respectfully, looking at Mama Tian with dissatisfied eyes, apparently annoyed that Mama Tian had taken their jobs.Stealing people's work is a very disgusting behavior among servants, and Yu Zhu can't blame her when she sees it, and she feels a little guilty and ruins Tian's mother's popularity.

But Tian's mother rolled up her sleeves as if she didn't see it, and ordered a little girl who made a fire to start a fire, washed her hands, and peeled off the six big crabs that Cui Shi brought back to Yuzhu. Skillfully, the two mothers beside Zhong Yu already had a sense of crisis, staring at Tian's mother's eyes were about to burn, Yu Zhu hurriedly let them go down, so as not to be stimulated again.

Here, Mama Tian has finished processing the crabs. On one side of the table are clean crab shells without a trace of meat, and a small white porcelain bowl next to it is filled with snow-white crab meat and bright red crab roe.Mama Tian took another piece of good pork leg, chopped it into fine minced meat, put it in a large bowl, mixed with pepper, ginger, garlic and minced salt, cracked an egg, and finally Pour in the crab meat and crab roe, stir well, stuff them into the peeled crab shells, wrap them in dough, and deep-fry them until they are golden.

Yuzhu couldn't resist picking up the bamboo chopsticks, and with just a light poke, a hole was broken in the crab shell, revealing the tempting stuffing inside, and it was fragrant and crispy after a bite, with an indescribably delicious taste. Yu Zhu was moved, and she emptied the plate with tears in her eyes under Tian's mother's funny and angry eyes.

When it was over, he licked his red lips with regret, looked at the empty plate regretfully, and flatteringly said to Mama Tian, ​​"Teach me."
