Chapter 7

After Ming Yu had dinner, she went to Suixi Garden again. Seeing that the old lady had taken the medicine and fell into a deep sleep, her breathing sounded steady, so she went back to her green building.She was always concerned about whether her mother mentioned that matter to her father, Chunyuan Qiaoqin came over to remind her several times, and then lazily prepared to take a rest.The new water delivery girl came in, put the red-painted and gold-painted soup sink on the ground, and said with a smile, "I just heard from the mother in the kitchen that I'm afraid I'm going to be busy tonight, so I don't know how much to make for supper." The day after tomorrow, the old lady will celebrate her birthday, and the master will distribute good rice and good money, so I have to start preparing. This is really a good thing, and I will hurry up and ask my mother to go and line up early tomorrow."

Dan Lan, who was undoing Ming Yu's hair bun, heard the words, "poof" and scolded with a laugh: "Little hooves who have never seen the world, they only know how to take advantage. Those are given by the master to outsiders. When that day comes, you are still afraid The master doesn't benefit the people in his family?"

The two of them were bickering, but Mingyu was elated when she heard it, knowing that her father must have changed his mind after being persuaded by her mother, so why would she still be willing to sleep? I'm going to my parents' yard.Chunyuan and the others did not dare to stop them, so they had to follow.

When Ming Yu arrived in front of the yard, he saw that the door was still open. The gatekeeper said that the master had just left the front hall, so he went straight into Jiang's room without worry.As soon as he walked around the Zhanggao Silian Meique screen, he saw that the silver lamp was brightly lit inside, and Jiang was wearing a homely embroidered jacket and sitting at the table writing something.

"Didn't I tell you to rest earlier?"

Jiang raised her head and saw that it was her, she smiled and said angrily.

"What are you writing, mother..."

Ming Yu climbed onto the chair beside her and glanced at it.

"Your idea is good, your father followed suit. It is necessary to let those wives who accepted my invitations know as soon as possible, and send them out early tomorrow morning to avoid delay."

"Mother, why don't you ask someone to write it for you, it's so hard..."

"The posts from people with ordinary contacts have been assigned. Only those with frequent contacts on weekdays, I have to write them myself to show my sincerity."

"I'll help my mother write." Mingyu said, sitting on another chair, and picked up a mottled bamboo tube flower brush, "I have imitated my mother's handwriting before, and even my grandfather had to read it carefully to recognize it. .”

Jiang couldn't help it, so he had to distribute some to her. The mother and the mother sat opposite each other, and the girl left after serving tea.Seeing her writing a line with a pen dipped in ink, Mrs. Jiang shook her head and said with a smile, "You ghost girl, you really look like me when I look at it."

Ming Yu giggled, bowed her head and continued attentively.At this moment, the room is full of silence, except for the occasional crackling and crackling of the lanterns and the slight rustling of pens falling on the lacquered letters. When the glass hourglass is engraved at the end of Haishi, there are still several families that have not been written yet.

Although Ming Yu has the consciousness of an adult, but this body is still a ten-year-old girl after all, and she is already very sleepy by this time.Jiang put down his pen, saw her tired face, and said with some distress: "Go to mother's bed and rest, when mother finishes writing the rest, I will send you back home."

Unable to bear the sleepiness, Ming Yu nodded.Jiang led her to his couch, spread out the quilt, told her to lie on it with all her clothes on, and took off her shoes herself, then put down the curtain, and went back to continue writing.

Ming Yu smelled the delicate and sweet fragrance flowing from her mother's tent, and felt surprisingly peaceful in her heart. She yawned and fell into a dream all at once.I don't know how long I slept, when I was suddenly awakened by a voice.

"...Worried about it again, carefully woke up Ayu. She came to help me write a lot of posts at night, and she was lying on the bed when she was sleepy..."

It was Jiang's lowered voice, but it sounded a little uneven.

Ming Yu naturally knew the reason, and her face suddenly became hot.She was naturally very happy that her parents were so close, but she was afraid of being embarrassed by them knowing that she was awake, so she hurriedly closed her eyes again and remained still.

After a while, she felt as if the curtain had been lifted, "She's still asleep. You rest and wait for me to come back, and I'll carry her back."

I heard my father say something in a low voice to my mother.With a light body, her father hugged her even under the quilt, and walked outside.

Ming Yu huddled in his father's generous arms, smelling a manly smell mixed with the fragrance of longxin tea on his father's nose, his heart warmed up, but his eyes were a little hot, wishing that the road to Yilulou would be longer the better.

Ruan Hongtian took his daughter back to her room to put her down, and ordered Chunyuan Qiaoqin, who was following her, to take care of the good girl before leaving.

On the second day, many members of the Ruan family knew about Ruan Hongtian's decision, and those who had hoped to make money from it that day were extremely disappointed.Because the bigger the ostentation, the more profit they can make, and Ruan Hongtian has always been generous, and never cares about these accounts.Seeing that the fat duck in his hand flew away like this, he refused to give up and persuaded him again.Seeing his decisive attitude, he had no choice but to rest angrily.

On the fifteenth day, the good deeds outside were in full swing, and the people all over the city praised them, and the Rongyin Hall was full of guests, and it was very noisy.Even though the people in the city who had close contacts with each other knew that the old lady of the Ruan family's birthday was due to her health, so she canceled the birthday feast that was originally held in Yiyuan and changed it to a charity, just out of etiquette, they still brought the birthday gifts to visit, even the prefect Come to the door in person.Ruan Hongtian and the Jiang family had been busy for a whole day, chatting and entertaining guests non-stop, and in the next few days they prepared another heavier gift in return according to the birthday presents given by each mansion, or visited the door in person to thank them, or sent a housekeeper to send them out, After being so busy for half a month, it gradually stopped.

The grandma's birthday banquet that was accused of exceeding the etiquette was finally passed safely as she wished, and Ming Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.And after more than half a month passed, Sun Langzhong was invited to come to the daily clinic for a consultation, and the old lady's condition was almost improved.In the previous life, Ming Yu was dissatisfied with her grandmother's indifference to her and was somewhat dissatisfied with her attitude towards Jiang, so she would not deliberately approach her on weekdays. When the old lady went a few years later, the grandparents and grandchildren were still indifferent.Now, but because of this opportunity, the old lady sees that her granddaughter is by her side almost every day to serve her wholeheartedly, her heart is always strong, she treats Mingyu much better, but her attitude towards Jiang is still the same .

Ming Yu remembered that in the past, after the old lady's [-]th birthday, her mother would arrange for her father to take a concubine.I feel a little uneasy in my heart, wishing to lock my parents in the house and not let them out, it would be better to have a pregnancy a moment earlier, but since I am a little girl, it is not easy to get involved in these things, so I can only secretly worry.There was nothing to do in the afternoon of this day, together with Chunyuan and Qiaoqin, I took the little girl to do needlework in the pavilion facing the water downstairs, listening to them whispering gossip, and hearing a few crisp birdsong from time to time, it should be a In the leisurely afternoon, I was always restless in my heart.Holding a round stretcher in her hand, she began to embroider the cat fluttering butterflies half a month ago. The cat's eye thread was reworked several times but she was still not satisfied, which caused Chun Yuan to look at her several times in puzzlement. In the end, he couldn't help persuading: "If the girl's hand is not smooth, take a rest for a while, and it may be fine when you come back."

Ming Yu smiled, dropped the bandage and needlework in her hands, and was about to get up, when she suddenly thought that Du Ruoqiu was a good female star.I vaguely remembered that after she became his father's concubine in the previous life, his father didn't love her much, and she looked depressed all day long, and she didn't want to compete for favor.Now that this is the case, why not find out what she said before making a decision?After thinking about it, he took back the embroidery frame that he had left behind just now, and went to the embroidery room, only bringing Chunyuan with him.

Since Du Ruoqiu was sent to the Ruan family, the Jiang family neither allowed her to serve her closely, nor sent her to do any rough work. Seeing that she was good at sewing, she was kept in the embroidery room, just to make four seasons clothes for the servants in the mansion. .

Du Ruoqiu was burying her head in making a green cloth robe in her hand, when she suddenly heard many sister-in-laws calling "big girl", she looked up, and saw Ming Yu, the eldest lady from the house, came over, she hurriedly stood up with them .I thought there was nothing wrong with me, but when I didn't want her to stand in front of me and looked over, I tucked the robe behind my hands a little uneasy.

Ming Yu noticed her movement, but pretended she didn't see it. She just picked up the corner of her clothes, glanced at it, and said with a smile, "I heard that you are good at sewing. The stitches are really neat and tidy. The cat's eyes I embroidered are almost I still feel dissatisfied, please help me take a look."

Du Ruoqiu breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly rolled up the robe in his hands, stuffed it into a clothes basket by his feet, took Ming Yu's embroidery frame, looked at it a little, and said, "I'll try it with a rolling needle. try."

The rolling needle is embroidered with the stitches tightly pressed, the rear needle is inserted into the middle of the front needle and the stitches are hidden under the thread, the third stitch is connected to the first stitch and the tail is forward, suitable for embroidering animals, birds, beards, eyes, etc. .Mingyu also learned from Xiu Niang before.At this time, seeing her flying the needle and threading, the stitching method is much more flexible than I don't know.It was all right in no time.

Ming Yu praised: "Sure enough, good stitches. I still have an embroidery sample, why don't I trouble you to go and have a look?"

Du Ruoqiu hurriedly agreed, and followed Ming Yu to Yilu Building.When they arrived at the crabapple bushes at the entrance of the garden, Ming Yu signaled Chunyuan to stop, and went to the pavilion at the end of the corridor on the side. Although Du Ruoqiu was a little puzzled, she just followed.

"Sister Du, come and sit down too."

Ming Yu sat on a drum pier, looked at her sideways, and smiled.

Du Ruoqiu was greatly surprised, and shook her head hastily: "Young girl killed me, she just called me by my first name, how dare you call me sister..."

In the previous life, Du Xiucai and the craftsman Gu Xuan collected her mother's body in the end, and Du Ruoqiu also accompanied her mother to commit suicide in the end. Ming Yu remembered this affection, and felt kind to Du Ruoqiu in her heart, and smiled and said: "I've seen you kindly, so it's okay to call me sister."

Du Ruoqiu was extremely puzzled.She has been in the Rongyin Hall for more than half a year, and she has only met this young lady a few times, she has never noticed how caring she is before, why did she suddenly say that she is kind to her?
