good wife

Chapter 70
"Probably not. Miss, add a cloak!" Before Haitang finished speaking, Jingyi ran out of the room.Haitang stomped her feet anxiously, took the cloak and followed.

The Furong Courtyard is behind the main courtyard, and the main courtyard is naturally lived by Mrs. Gu.Jingyi looked at Gu's not far away, surrounded by several women, wearing a robe, looking anxiously at Furongyuan.

"Mother! Are you all right?"

"Yiyi got up too! It's okay, there should be no serious problems in the mother's yard, but this Furong yard." Gu said with some regret.

Jingyi looked at the raging fire in front of her, although it was under control, Furong Courtyard might not be able to keep it.In the middle of the night, if the night watchman in the yard was lazy, wouldn't the fire burn to my mother?
Thinking of this, Jing Yi could not help but shudder!This fire is no accident!If you can burn Furongyuan, you can also burn your mother's yard!Is this the warning those people gave?

wrong!Jingyi looked around, "Mother, is there anyone left in your yard?"

Gu Shi was taken aback for a moment, looked at Jingyi's questioning eyes, and immediately came to his senses. "Mother Liu, quickly take a few people back to the yard to have a look."

Nanny Liu led the people back to the yard quickly, there seemed to be lights in the warehouse.

Nanny Liu quickly ordered someone to stay in the house to guard, while she reported to Mrs. Gu.

When Gu Shi heard this, she was shocked.Could it be that a thief broke in?He hurriedly ordered the housekeeper to look around.He told Su Wei about this matter.Su Wei was also suspicious when he heard that, who is so bold to steal in the Hou's mansion?

When Su Wei took people there, there were no one there, and several boxes and cages in the warehouse were opened, but nothing valuable was lost.Obviously, the other party was looking for something!
After tossing around like this for most of the night, I got nothing.And Jingyi fell asleep on the low couch in Gu's room.

Early the next morning, Jing Yi woke up and saw that she was lying on the bed with her mother, Gu Shi.Xu went to bed late last night, Jingyi got out of bed and walked around the house, but still failed to wake Gu Shi up.

Jingyi glanced out, and there were two women lying on the table outside and fell asleep, apparently they were extremely tired last night.She quietly returned to the bedroom.Walking to my mother's dressing table, I thought about tying my hair first.

She picked up a jade comb and combed it lightly. After combing everything through, she remembered that she didn't know how to comb this ancient hair, and she couldn't help feeling depressed.I saw a dowry (dressing box) with a red string on it.Jingyi then took the red string, intending to comb a high ponytail for herself.

As soon as Jingyi took the red string, she was attracted by her mother's dowry.This is a painted double-layer lacquer dowry with exquisite decoration, fine workmanship and exquisite materials.The body is painted with dark brown lacquer, and then a very thin layer of gold powder is applied on the surface of the lacquer, and a small amount of silver powder is added to it, and then the cloud pattern of yellow, white and red is painted on the surface with oil paint, which is dazzling and very gorgeous. .

This is the first time that Jingyi is so interested in a dowry. The handicraft skills of the ancients are really amazing, and they can do it so meticulously!I saw a small drawer on the lower level of the dowry half open, and saw a very simple bracelet.

Jingyi took out the bracelet out of curiosity for a moment, it was a gilt peony bracelet with auspicious cloud pattern, in terms of color, it didn't look like a new one, but it looked like an ancient thing.

Jingyi was studying here with the bracelet, and she heard Gu say: "What? Like this bracelet? Then I will give it to you."

Jingyi looked at Gu Shi who was about to get dressed, and said with a smile: "Mother is so generous. This bracelet doesn't seem to be new."

Gu went to the dressing table, sat in front of the dressing mirror, looked at Jing Yi and said, "This is what your grandfather left me, together with this dowry, after giving birth to you, your grandfather gave these two things to me. Me, if you like it now, take it. Just be careful not to lose it."

Jingyi nodded, blessed the body: "Thank you mother. It's just that the grandfather gave it to the mother, and the daughter still doesn't take it."

"I heard from your grandfather that this bracelet originally belonged to your grandmother and was passed down from generation to generation in their family. Your grandmother originally thought about leaving it to her daughter. Unfortunately, until your grandmother passed away, your father and your second uncle could still have it." There are two boys, so your grandfather kept this bracelet. Until you were born, your grandfather said that there is no daughter, so let’s leave it to his granddaughter. Now that you have seen it and like it so much, just take it.”

Only then did Jingyi realize that it turned out to be a family heirloom of her grandmother, she nodded, and put the bracelet away.At this time, several maids and women came in from the outside, some were preparing hot water, some were making quilts, and the dormitory became lively.

Jingyi had breakfast with Gu Shi, and then asked about last night.Mrs. Gu only said that there was nothing to gain. Su Wei ordered the nursing home to take care of them more frequently last night. Today, he will choose some wives and daughters of the former subordinates who can come over.

Jingyi nodded, and when the lady in charge outside came to ask for a match, Jingyi got up and went back to her yard.

Jingyi took the bracelet that Gu Shi gave her, carefully looked at it again and again, and always felt that although the bracelet was beautiful, it was a bit weird.Thinking that it was the grandmother's heirloom, he looked at it carefully.

Jingyi remembered that the old lady had ordered Liu Shi to find something, so she made up her mind, went to the desk, and drew a pattern according to the bracelet.

After drawing the pattern, she asked Haitang, Liu Xing'er, Liu Ju, Liu He, and Liu Mei to accompany her, and went to the Crane Shoutang to pay her respects to the old lady.

Jingyi sat with the old lady for a while and then went to Dongkua courtyard for class.Haitang couldn't help but wonder, what is Miss doing?I just came here to say hello, why did I bring so many people with me? Didn't the lady always think that people are too much trouble?
What I'm studying today is court etiquette. Jing Yi and Jing Wei are both daughters of high families. It is inevitable to enter the palace. Learning court etiquette well will not make people look down upon them.Jingyi had already been made unhappy by this pile of tedious etiquette, and she finally got through until Nanny Hong let her go.Immediately I thought about going back and taking a good rest.

Seeing that she brought four or five maids with her today, Jing Wei asked with a smile, "Why did my sister bring so many maids?"

"Oh, there was a thieves in my mother's yard last night. I was afraid, so I asked a few more people to follow."

Jing smiled slightly, "It's daytime now, how can such a bold thief dare to enter the Hou's mansion?"

"What my sister said is that I was too nervous." Jingyi showed a sudden realization, and then became a little excited again, "However, I have to buy embroidery thread later. It doesn't count if they follow along many."

"Buying embroidery thread? Are you going to be a female celebrity?"

"Well, when I was paying my respects to the old lady in the morning, I accidentally saw a painting. It was very beautiful, so I thought about embroidering a purse like that."

"do it yourself?"

As soon as Jingyi heard this, she immediately felt like a deflated ball, "My sister knows about my female celebrity. The embroidered fish statues and the embroidered birds are like chickens. Where can I embroider good things. It's just Just give it a try."
