Chapter 30 Birthday present, ask for her purse
This time it was Xin Ruo's turn to be embarrassed, so he didn't pick up the copybooks, but went through the big burden on purpose, "Both posts are for you, practice hard, and try to practice calligraphy well in the shortest possible time." From now on, the brush calligraphy will be up to you It was written on behalf of Xin Ruo in his heart.

After finishing speaking, she came into the study with her luggage. She had to find a way to earn money. Before entering the door, she looked back at the two of them and said, "Take a little more rest. I will come to the study in half an hour. I have work to do." Molan Zilan The two nodded hurriedly.

Xin Ruo entered the study room, arranged the pens, inks, papers and inkstones, classified the spices, and then weighed the fragrant wood with a small copper scale from memory, and put the bags in a good place. After weighing twelve bags, it was already half an hour later. up.

When Molan and Zilan entered the room, Xin Ruo ordered, "There are twelve copies here, and each of you is responsible for six copies. Some big bags have small bags inside, so don't confuse them. Write down how to make and use what to pack. Press it under the paper package, and burn the paper strip after making one copy, don’t be in a hurry, take your time, and do the work carefully.”

Molan and Zilan hurriedly nodded in response, and happily went to work, Xin Ruo went to get the needle and thread again, which will be used later.

After giving the order, Xin Ruo took the embroidery basket and went outside. The Baishou picture had only been embroidered a little, so she had to hurry up and embroider.

Nan'er and Bei'er also watched from the sidelines. The maids in the mansion knew some embroidery skills, but the degree was different. There was no need to sweep the fallen leaves at the moment, and there was nothing to do, so they just stayed by Xin Ruo's side and waited. ordered.

Xin Ruojian asked them to bring the embroidery shed, and everyone embroidered together, and the two little girls happily went to their room and came with the embroidery basket.

Xin Ruo watched from the side, and occasionally helped and pointed out. Nan'er and Bei'er were smart and serious about learning. Their goal was very simple.

Just practice the skills well, and then I can help the third girl embroider the dowry, that is, embroider the purse and embroider the handkerchief. If Xin Ruo knows that this is the motivation for them to study hard, she will vomit blood.

Molan and Zilan were also full of energy. They had been busy in the house all afternoon. If Xin Ruo hadn't called them for dinner, they probably wouldn't have remembered it.

Thinking back when she learned how to make incense with her grandma, she thought she had a lot of energy, but now compared with them, alas, fortunately, grandma didn’t see these two people, otherwise the three of them would get together, and the family would not be able to eat incense beads, because No one remembers to cook...

After the fragrant beads were made, they were also rolled into smooth balls the size of marbles according to Xin Ruo's requirements, and placed in a labeled Yuxilian blue and white porcelain plate, and placed in the sun under the shade of a tree to dry.

Under the old locust tree, at the gate of the courtyard, there is a long row of blue and white fretwork plates, which contain many beads, and six of them have two printed longevity beads, each with eighteen beads, and different colors.

When the incense beads are dry, Xin Ruo also puts new cotton in the pear wood round box specially found for the original color carved group of immortals to celebrate the birthday. The inside is divided into four compartments, and the four-color incense beads of black, white, yellow, and Bodhi are placed separately. string.

Cover it with new cotton, and then cover it with oiled paper painted with pictures of Songhe Yannian.

Seeing that Xin Ruo had prepared these things for birthday celebrations, Zilan opened her eyes in confusion, "Isn't the birthday gift for the old man a picture of a hundred years of life? Why did you give it a prayer bead instead?"

I have never heard that the old man believed in Buddhism, and the old lady is not bad, but the old lady's birthday has passed long ago.

Xin Ruo packed the round box with a bundle again, and handed it to Zilan with a smile, "This is not a birthday gift for the old man, you go out again, sell these outside, and bring them back if they are less than 150 taels. "

Zilan trembled and didn't dare to take it, 150 taels, no, it should be more than 150 taels, that's not a joke.

Seeing that her cheeks were slightly red, Xin Ruo seemed to be afraid of taking on such a heavy responsibility, so she smiled and said, "Let Mo Lan accompany you to finish the assembly. If you encounter robbers on the way, you can throw away your things. It's done."

When Zilan heard this, her face turned even redder. Was she so obvious? Why did the master notice it at a glance? It's just that she never had more than 20 taels of silver on her body, and suddenly a large sum of money was handed over to her. Li, a little flustered.

But after hearing what Xin Ruo had said, Zi Lan was moved, and thought to herself, even if she risked her life, she would have to help the third girl to complete this matter, so she hurriedly took over the burden and was about to go out, Xin Ruo called her to stop again, and told her After a few words, the two went out together.

In less than two hours, the two came back, their faces were radiant, and they couldn't even close their mouths. Seeing Xin Ruo, Zi Lan hurriedly took out two 100 taels of silver notes from her arms.

Xin Ruo looked at the two pieces of paper, the corners of her eyes twitched, she waved the bank notes in one hand, and asked, "How will the money be used in the house?"

Giving a reward to a servant, or going to the kitchen to set up a banquet, and taking 100 taels of silver, it's no wonder that it doesn't arouse people's suspicion. She is a well-known pauper in the Yuan Mansion, so you must not falsely accuse her of stealing if it is heard by the eldest lady.

Xin Ruo's words poured down like a basin of cold water, and the smiling faces of Mo Lan and Zi Lan immediately castrated. They were so happy that they forgot about it, and hurriedly lowered their heads to admit their mistake. After admitting their mistakes, they said, "Slave servant Now go and exchange the banknotes for silver."

Xin Ruo sent a chestnut by himself, "Two times a day, it's no wonder that it doesn't arouse people's suspicion. When you two deliver cakes to Third Auntie, just take a silver ticket and exchange it for some scattered silver. Enough, if Auntie asks, she will know what to say."

Mo Lan's eyes widened, but Zi Lan nodded and said, "The third girl pawned the bracelet and got 200 taels, and the 100 taels were specially given to the young master."

Xin Ruo nodded in satisfaction. In this way, it would be difficult for Third Aunt to refuse even if she wanted to, so she let them go. Xin Ruo flipped the 100 tael bank note from side to side. , even though Grandpa Mao is not as valuable as this.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Mo Lan and Zi Lan came back, and when they saw Xin Ruo, they took out 20 taels of silver and said, "Third Yiniang insists on giving this much, and the servants will not let the servants come back if they don't accept Third Yiniang. Also, Third Aunt asked you to learn poetry and songs from her tomorrow."

After hearing this, Xin Ruo kept looking at them. She didn't go to San Yiniang's place for a few days because she was afraid that San Yiniang would bring it up.

Dare to love, she never forgot, why didn't the two of them help to refuse? Mo Lan saw Xin Ruo's questioning eyes, and immediately said: "We said that you are not in good health, and the third aunt said that you can wait for two more days .”

Xin Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, and stared at Zilan with her eyes, Zilan smiled shyly, scratched her forehead and asked, "What should I do with the many fragrant beads, and make them into Buddhist beads to sell?"

Xin Ruo shook her head and said with a smile, "Things are rare. If there are too many Buddhist beads, they won't be worth so much money. I went back and found a suitable box to put them in. There are still four Buddhist beads left. Find a more beautiful one." Put it in a box and send it to the old lady."

Jiang Zixuan, Zhan Moyu was sitting in a wheelchair, still flipping Xin Ruo's purse in his hand, and from time to time took out the three pearls exuding a faint fragrance to have a look, guessing what it was.

Sensing someone coming in, she hurriedly put the beads into her purse, tucked them in her cuffs, and looked up to pretend to look at the clouds. Lan Bing pretended not to see it, she was already used to it.

The young master is just awkward. He wanted to know what was inside. Last time, he ran to ask people. He chased him from Yuan Mansion to Nanyunhou Mansion. People saw him, but he wanted to tease him, which delayed the business. .

Zhan Moyu saw that it was Lan Bing who had entered the room, so he sat up and saw that he was carrying a bag in his hand, his beautiful eyes blinked and blinked, the blue waves flowed, and he was magnificent. Handed the burden to Zhan Moyu.

Zhan Moyu looked at the box curiously, and when he saw the box, he knew it was for birthday wishes. When he saw the box, he couldn't help showing a coquettish smile, "For me?"

Lan Bing said expressionlessly, "I bought it with Shizi's money."

Zhan Moyu smiled slightly after hearing this, his handsome eyes were covered with a layer of sadness, and his hand that was about to open the box stopped, and he looked at Lan Bing with his eyes, Lan Bing continued, "It's the maid next to Miss Yuan San who sold it for sale. of."

Zhan Moyu was startled when he heard that, and then focused his eyes on the box again, untied the flower belt, opened the box, and found four kinds of Buddhist beads made of fragrant beads of different colors, which were extremely delicate.

Zhan Moyu looked at the purse in his sleeve again, and asked uncertainly, "She made this?"

Lan replied coldly, "I'm not sure." However, a maid should not be able to control it.

Zhan Moyu pondered for a moment, and then a charming smile bloomed on the corner of his mouth, playing with the beads in his hand, and asked with a smile, "Is she short of money?"

Lan Bing hummed resolutely, because Zilan looked eager to go back home with the silver ticket, so she must be short of money, but there should be no shortage now, 200 taels of silver is enough for her for a long time.

Zhan Moyu played with the beads one by one, with a playful smile in his eyes. It seemed that the concubine she was going to marry was still a hidden master, so he closed the box casually, and said, "Give it to the concubine mother." Send it, she will definitely like it."

As soon as the concubine over there entered the door, she heard this, walked over with a smile and said, "What good things will the concubine mother like?"

Zhan Moyu directly handed the box to the concubine. The concubine opened it curiously, and couldn't help laughing when she saw it. She stretched out her hand to caress his shaved shoulders lovingly, and said with a smile, "The gift from Yu'er, the concubine mother is very happy." I like it, but the concubine's birthday is still early, but..."

Zhan Moyu looked at the birthday gift box, his cheeks were slightly red, he turned the wheelchair, and pouting, "Isn't Princess Yue's birthday coming soon? This is prepared by Yu'er for Mother Concubine, and Concubine Mother is very satisfied."

The concubine nodded, closed the box, and said with a smile, "Yu'er has grown up, so I should thank Princess Yue well. If it weren't for her, the concubine mother would never know Miss Yuansan. She must like the gift prepared by Yu'er." , Yu'er going with Concubine Mu?"

After the princess asked, seeing Zhan Moyu not responding for a long time, staring at the floor in a daze, the princess knew that he didn't want to go out, and felt a little sad in her heart.

Yu'er was originally a fairy, but since her leg was injured, she went out of the house every year dozens of times, which can be counted on her fingers, and her temperament has become a bit withdrawn.

In addition, his head was injured before, he doesn't remember much, and he always forgets things, so he ignores everyone he sees. Tomorrow is his birthday.

Since she was injured, she hadn't done much, the concubine always felt a little owed, and she always tried to make up for him, so she asked: "Tomorrow is Yu'er's birthday, what do you want to tell my concubine?"

Zhan Moyu originally wanted to shake his head, but he saw the box in Wang Hao's hand, thought for a while, then took out the pouch in his sleeve, and said, "I want a pouch, exactly like this one." After finishing speaking, his ears turned red .

The princess smiled when she saw the pale pink purse that he just took out and then stuffed back.

Yu'er wanted a pouch made by Miss Yuan San, so she pretended to be stupid and said, "It's exactly the same, do you want light pink, or change it to the snow blue color you like, and I will make one for you when I go back to my concubine."
