Chapter 43 Embroidery
That night.

Gu Yunxi is embroidering things with Zizhu in her own boudoir in Jinxiuyuan.

Zizhu has always been good at embroidery, but Lvwu's embroidery skills are mediocre, so he also brought an embroiderer beside Zizhu, and watched and learned seriously.

"Girl, look quickly, the butterfly embroidered by Zizhu's sister is so beautiful, it's so vivid, it's just like the real thing." Luwu looked at the colorful butterflies showing little by little under the Zizhu needle, raised her head in surprise and smiled at Gu Yunxi Said.

Gu Yunxi raised her head with a smile, her complexion was even softer against the light, she smiled and said: "Zizhu's embroidery skills were learned from my mother, so it's not bad."

Back then, Gu Yunxi's mother, Qin Hua, stood out among many young ladies with her double-sided embroidery. She became famous for a while and attracted many wives from aristocratic families to come to the house to propose marriage. In the end, Qin's unexpectedly married Gu Zhengyao.

Zizhu was a little maid bought from the old woman before Qin Hua gave birth to Gu Yunzhao. She was only six years old at the time, and she has been by Qin Hua's side ever since. After giving birth to Gu Yunxi, Qin Hua went away not long after. Zizhu then followed Nanny Shen to take care of the third girl, Gu Yunxi, who was still in her infancy.

Zizhu is eight years older than Gu Yunxi, nine years older than Luwu, and is now 22. It is said that she has already reached the age to leave the house to marry, but Shenmao was not in good health a few years ago, so she returned to the countryside and was by Gu Yunxi's side. Only this older maid was left, and because Zizhu was favored by Gu Yunxi's mother, she was very considerate and caring for Gu Yunxi who lost her mother since childhood, and she was even more unwilling to marry at this time.

At that time, the family was still the head of the Meng family, and Gu Yunxi listened to Meng's words very much. Zizhu got the orders from Shen Nai, and she was unwilling to abandon Gu Yunxi at this time, so she pleaded with Gu Yunxi, willing to stay by Gu Yunxi's side , vowed not to marry.

Just like that, before I knew it, another four years had passed, and Gu Yunxi was already 14 years old, and she was about to turn up in half a year.

Zi Zhu put down the embroidery hoop in his hand, and said with a smile: "Girl, don't listen to Lu Wu's nonsense, if you want to talk about it, the things our girl embroiders are the only ones."

After speaking, he smiled and nodded Lu Wu's head and said: "You girl, don't talk nonsense, you don't have to embarrass me in front of the girl."

Lu Wu smiled and stuck out her tongue.

She also thinks that the things the girl embroiders are very beautiful, especially in the past few months, the girl's embroidery skills have improved rapidly.

Gu Yunxi just smiled and said nothing. The reason why she has such good embroidery skills is due to her previous life. At that time, she had just married Feng Ziyu, and she wanted to be a virtuous and virtuous wife. When her husband was away from home, the necessary clothes Naturally, she couldn't be less, she was worried that the clothes made by others would not be comfortable to wear, so she thought about making one for him herself.

With this in mind, she realized that her female popularity was really bad. She had made a dress for two full months, and the season for wearing it had already passed. She threw that dress into the depths of the cabinet, and I haven't taken it out either.

And it was from then on that she began to practice embroidery desperately, especially after she was pregnant for the first time, because she wanted to make clothes for her unborn child from childhood to adulthood, so she started to practice embroidery from the early stage of pregnancy. Start practicing day and night.

It's a pity that although my female celebrity skills have improved a lot in the end, the child still has no chance with me in the end.

A few years after that, Gu Yunwan married in. Although Feng Ziyu still treated him the same as before, but because of Gu Yunwan's arrival, he gradually lost his care for him, especially after Gu Yunwan gave birth to his eldest son.

So she spent more spare time practicing embroidery and making more clothes for Feng Ziyu. Every time she saw him wearing the clothes she made by herself, Gu Yunxi felt extremely satisfied.

But after all, God did not favor her because of her hard work...

Gu Yunxi lowered her head, with a calm expression on her face, her thick eyelashes against the light, hesitating about the feather fan dyed with fluorescent light.

Seeing that Gu Yunxi didn't speak, Zizhu thought that the third girl thought of Mrs. Xian, so she felt sad.

She couldn't help blaming herself a little, and then gave Lu Wu a sneaky look, telling you to talk too much!

Luwu blinked and realized it, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and the originally smiling expression on her face turned into a mournful one.

Looking at each other, they both saw anxiety in their eyes.

The atmosphere was a little stagnant for a while.

Gu Yunxi looked up suspiciously, and saw Zizhu gently twisting Luwu, Luwu immediately grinned in pain, and stretched out her hand to knock Zizhu, but because Zizhu was older than herself and always took good care of herself, stretched out her hand. His hand retracted again.

Gu Yunxi watched the two of them going back and forth, and burst into a "puchi" laugh.

Only then did Zizhu and Luwu realize that Gu Yunxi raised his head at some point, and was looking at the two of them, his eyes as deep as a cold pool were filled with a smile.

The expressions on Zi Zhu and Lu Wu's faces froze, they smiled together and said, "Girl, what are you doing watching us?"

Gu Yunxi looked at the two with a half-smile, but Zizhu and Luwu couldn't stand the look, and their faces gradually turned red.

Zizhu hurriedly lowered her head and continued to embroider her handkerchief, while Luwu jumped up and stood up, saying: "Oh, girl, sister Zizhu, are you hungry? You must be hungry. I'll go to the small kitchen to get some snacks. "

Without waiting for Gu Yunxi's answer, she ran to the door like flying, opened it and went out.

Gu Yunxi stared at the door dumbfounded, still a little unresponsive, when did Luwu become so lively.

Is this still the sluggish and slow-moving Lu Wu in her memory?
Gu Yunxi shook her head, and continued to work on the embroidery in her hands seriously.

It's finally finished, and I can't help but feel a little excited.

It didn't take long for Luwu to come in with two plates of exquisite snacks and a glass of freshly squeezed pear juice, gently closed the door, and said with a smile: "Girl, sister Zizhu, it's late at night, let's embroider tomorrow, hurry up." Come to eat some snacks, girl, didn’t you ask for pear juice at dinner, this is just squeezed out by the little maid, so it’s just a coincidence that I went there.”

Zizhu glanced out the open window, it was already dark, only a little bit of starlight could be seen, so she also put down her work, and said: "It's late at night, girl, be careful, don't hurt your eyes, It's not too late to embroider for the young master tomorrow."

Gu Yunxi raised her head, blinked deeply, then looked down at the fabric in her hand, and smiled mysteriously.

Putting down the things, Lu Wu thoughtfully gathered the things that Gu Yunxi and Zi Zhu hadn't embroidered yet, and put them aside.

Gu Yunxi ate a few pieces of snacks and drank pear juice, but couldn't eat anymore.

She loosened her hair, took off her coat, and was about to go to bed, when she heard a slightly hasty knock on the door from outside.

"Bang bang bang..."

In this dim night, people felt inexplicably tense.
