Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 92 Sister Ziyan
Mrs. Xie heard that Xie Wanqing mentioned Ziyan, and asked suspiciously: "Mother Fu, where did Ziyan go today?"

"Old madam, have you forgotten? Zi Yan is not on duty today, the little girl is doing needlework in the house!" Fu said.

Mrs. Xie nodded, and said: "Well, this girl is doing a very good job, I'll ask her to wipe my forehead later!"

Mother Fu agreed, Xie Wanqing said: "I also want to learn female red from Sister Ziyan!"

"Well, you should study hard. You are good at everything in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but this female celebrity is not satisfactory. Although you will enter the East Palace in the future, these tasks will be done by yourself, but women always have to do things for their husbands and children. Something close to your body!" Mrs. Xie said quite approvingly.

Xie Wanqing smiled and asked: "Then can the granddaughter go to see sister Ziyan?"

"Go, go, just be careful, don't hurt your own hands!" Mrs. Xie said thoughtfully.

Xie Wanqing naturally obediently agreed, and then went to Ziyan's room.

Zi Yan was busy embroidering, Xie Wanqing came in and no one was notified, Zi Yan was probably too engrossed, and she didn't notice Xie Wanqing coming in.

Xie Wanqing saw that she was embroidering a pair of flying butterflies around the double lotus, and it was almost finished. The embroidery was extremely beautiful and exquisite, and it was a bit better than the embroiderers in the embroidery building outside.

After a while, Zi Yan was probably tired, she raised her head and saw Xie Wanqing, she was so startled that she even dropped the embroidered cloth in her hand.

"Eldest... Miss, why are you here?" Zi Yan asked in panic.

Xie Wanqing hurriedly said: "Sister Ziyan, don't be nervous, I just came to learn from you to be a female celebrity. Grandma said that your female celebrity is very good!"

Zi Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Miss, you can scare the servant, if you want to learn, just ask Suwen and Lingshu to call me over! Why bother you to find the servant in person, Didn't you break evil slaves?"

Xie Wanqing smiled politely, and said: "Sister Ziyan, since you are going to teach me how to be a female celebrity, then you are my teacher. How can students manipulate teachers? Naturally, I will come to the door in person. Ask for advice!"

After finishing speaking, Xie Wanqing saluted, and Zi Yan was so frightened that she hurriedly got up and stopped her, saying, "Miss, are you going to embarrass the slave to death? You still salute, the old lady will know about it, and the slave will not be offended." !"

"Hee hee, sister Ziyan, I know you are ingenious, so I want to follow you a little bit. Grandma always dislikes my female celebrity for doing poorly, so she wants me to teach you a lesson!" Xie Wanqing said coquettishly .

Zi Yan was naturally happy when she heard this, she pulled Xie Wanqing to sit down, and said: "Miss, since you think highly of your slaves, there is no reason for your slaves to refuse to agree, just do these needlework, you have to be careful and patient, slaves are afraid Missy can't afford to suffer like this!"

"As long as Sister Ziyan is willing to teach me, I will never suffer too much!" Xie Wanqing said sincerely.

Zi Yan nodded, and said: "In that case, I will go to the Missy's yard every day when the old lady takes a nap. You just need to prepare embroidery stitches, needles and threads, and some unused satin!"

"Hey, that's the deal!" Xie Wanqing took out a purse from her cuff and stuffed it into Zi Yan's hand.

Zi Yan hurriedly wanted to push it away, and said: "Miss, what are you doing? Don't mess around, this is not what this servant taught you to be a girl!"

"I know sister Ziyan is not that kind of ordinary person, but if you don't accept it, I will feel sorry for it, so I have the right to treat it as my subsidy for sister's sewing money. You can take it, and grandma won't blame it!" Xie Wanqing said.

Zi Yan pushed it a few more times, but Xie Wanqing still insisted on giving it to her, so she accepted it.

"Miss, what embroidery method do you want to learn first? I know a little bit about Shu embroidery and Suzhou embroidery!" Zi Yan took out her own embroidery and showed it to Xie Wanqing.

Xie Wanqing chose Suzhou embroidery at random, and then listened to Ziyan's introduction of the characteristics of Suzhou embroidery one by one.

Xie Wanqing also only acted as if she was listening carefully, nodding her head frequently.

After talking for a long time, Zi Yan said: "Oh, miss, look at me, when I talk about embroidery, I can't stop talking about it. You are here to learn embroidery, not to listen to these messy things of!"

"No, I think it's very interesting. Sister Ziyan really knows embroidery very well. I remember that my sister doesn't seem to have a child?" Xie Wanqing asked.

In fact, the Xie family had very few children. After all, the Xie family moved to the capital later on. Although the original footprint was not considered poor, there were not many servants, and even fewer brought to the capital.

Most of them were bought from dental shops later, Ziyan seems to have entered Xie's house only in her teens.

Zi Yan nodded, and said: "The servant girl entered the Xie Mansion when she was 11 years old, and she has been serving the old lady all the time since then!"

Xie Wanqing nodded and said, "Where did that sister come from? Are there other people in the family?"

Zi Yan's eyes flickered, and she said after a while: "The maidservant's ancestral home is in Suzhou. Originally... the family was engaged in small business. Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. My father lost money in the business and owed a large debt, so he sold me! Tossed and wandered to the capital!"

"My sister is also a poor person, I'm sorry, look at me, I brought up my sister's sad story again!" Xie Wanqing said with a melancholy expression.

Zi Yan shook her head and said: "Many years have passed, I almost forgot what my parents looked like, so there is nothing sad about it, I was sad when I was sold here and there a few years ago, and now I am beside the old lady , I don’t need anything, she’s even better than a lady from a small family!”

"It's fine if my sister thinks it's good, but it's just that my sister is getting married this year, right? It's time to get married!" Xie Wanqing pretended to be unintentional and asked, but her eyes were always on Ziyan's reaction.

Zi Yan's eyes flashed again, and then she said with a blushing face: "Miss, what are you talking about, I want to serve the old lady for the rest of my life, so I am not married!"

"A beautiful person like my sister can't be an old lady, but looking at our Xie family, it's really hard to find someone who is worthy of my sister!" Xie Wanqing said regretfully.

Zi Yan's face turned redder, but the arrogance in her eyes betrayed her sincerity.

"Miss made fun of the servant girl again. The servant girl is just a girl. What is there to be worthy of? In the future, if the old lady despises the servant girl, she can just match it with a servant!"

Xie Wanqing immediately said: "Then how can I do it, my sister is so beautiful, she is much better than the aunt in our house, it is too wronged for her to be a servant!"

"Then who else can it be assigned to? All the stewards in the house have wives, so you can't let slaves be concubines for the stewards, right?" Zi Yan showed a dissatisfied expression.

Xie Wanqing shook her head and said: "Where can I be a concubine for the stewards? If I want to be a concubine, I also give it to..."

Zi Yan's eyes immediately fixed on Xie Wanqing, and said, "For what?"

"Hee hee... I dare not say it, for fear that my sister will annoy me!" Xie Wanqing swallowed back the words on purpose, she just wanted to test whether Zi Yan had this intention.

If she really didn't have her, she wouldn't waste her energy on Ziyan. If she did, she would just add fuel to the flames and it would be a matter of course.

Ziyan's face was slightly pink, and she said coyly: "Missy just say it, there is no one else here, just tell a joke and pass the time!"

After hearing these words, Xie Wanqing became more or less certain that Zi Yan must also have some thoughts on Xie Chongguang.

Speaking of which, Xie Chongguang was also born a good-looking talent, and he has not yet reached the age of forty. In his prime, he is also the prime minister. Let alone Ziyan, there are not a few girls in the capital who want to marry Xie Chongguang as the successor .

Xie Wanqing said: "Then I'm talking nonsense. From my point of view, my sister's appearance and talent are just right for my father. Look at the aunts in my father's backyard. Who can compare to my sister's demeanor? Even Liu Auntie is also a little short!"

Ziyan's face turned red, her eyes flickered, and she hurriedly said: "Miss, what are you talking about, this servant is just a girl, how can I compare with the aunts, let alone Aunt Liu, who is not Where is the official lady!"

Xie Wanqing said: "Sister Ziyan, you are too modest. Aunt Liu was only the daughter of a merchant in the early days, and then the Liu family became an official. As for the other aunts, they may not be of higher birth than your sister, let alone Elder sister is a celebrity around grandma, grandma loves you more than anything else!"

Xie Wanqing was reminding Ziyan that she should make good use of Mrs. Xie as her backer and win favor from Xie Chongguang. The role of the old lady should not be underestimated.

Zi Yan rolled her eyes left and right, and said, "Miss really thinks so?"

"Of course, I don't hide anything from sister Ziyan. The four first-class maids around my grandmother, I value my sister the most. Not only is she good-looking, but she is also knowledgeable in embroidery. More importantly, she is kind-hearted and kind to others. Even Suwen and Lingshu love to befriend her sister!"

Xie Wanqing was holding Ziyan everywhere, and Ziyan was very happy when he heard it.

Zi Yan thought for a while, then sighed: "It's a pity, slaves can't climb up to the Prime Minister, and they can only serve the old lady in a law-abiding manner, which is already the fate of slaves!"

"It depends on the person. Look at Xi Lan, who was accepted by me a few days ago. She was just a girl next to Aunt Liu. If she wasn't in Aunt Liu's room, she might be an aunt now!"

Xie Wanqing's meaning is already obvious, what Xilan can do, Ziyan may not be able to do.

Xie Wanqing added: "Of course, I don't mean that my sister will do such indecent things. With my sister's appearance, who wouldn't like it?"

After hearing this, Zi Yan also showed a pensive look, and said after a while: "Okay, let's not talk about these, let's talk about embroidery!"

Xie Wanqing smiled, and didn't continue, some things were on point, she believed that with Zi Yan's intelligence, she would definitely not be disappointed.

The next thing she has to do is to create some opportunities for Zi Yan to get along with Xie Chongguang.
