The weather in the north, at the beginning of August, is already quite cool, at this time the sky is not yet noon, the sun is not too strong, I only saw a long table in the court, there are many people sitting on the side, Baoyu is sitting between Tanchun and Daiyu, holding a ball of cyan silk thread in his hand, seeing Baochai coming, so he hurriedly got up to greet him, "Sister Bao, you come to sit with me." ”

Baochai smiled and sat next to Daiyu, but did not sit in Baoyu's position, Li Kun personally held a plate of crystal clear purple jade grapes and placed it on the table among the people, "I originally just wanted to invite Miss Bao to take a look, but I didn't expect the eldest brother to come and bring Miss Xiangling," Li Kun held Xiangling's shoulder, "But I'm very lively here." ”

Sanchun is sitting, Baoyu Daiyu, Xue Pan, Baochai, Xiangling, there are many people here, and even more on their own maids and grandmothers, there is a room full of them, Li Kun let a few grandmothers go out to rest by themselves, "I am waiting here." ”

The grandmothers went out, and Daiyu deliberately breathed a long sigh of relief, "It's better to be a sister-in-law, if it weren't for the sister-in-law, I would be stared at by these grandmothers, but I can't tell any jokes." ”

Li Kun smiled, "I know you are afraid of being detained, so I sent them all away," Although Li Kun is a festival woman, she is far from the pretentiousness of the head widow of an ordinary villain, she speaks softly, and she will also help others, "You." ”

Li Kun smiled at Baochai again, "I have prepared an embroidered thing here, which should be regarded as a gift for the August Festival, and I want to honor the old lady, but the color is not accurate, so I invite the girl to take a look, the family history of your family, this needle and thread thing should ask you the most." ”

Baoyu smiled: "If I had known this, I might as well call the girl in the old lady's house, called Qingwen, and let her come over, half of the needlework of the ancestor was done by her, she came here, and everything was done." ”

What he said was a bit unpleasant, and there was no concern for Baochai's face, Baochai smiled slightly, knowing Baoyu's human nature, and not taking it seriously, but Daiyu was displeased, she sneered slightly, "If that's the case, ask Baoyu to get it today, and what else do you want us to do?" ”

Baoyu knew that he had lost his words, and hurriedly wanted to make amends, but Daiyu ignored him, and Li Kun hurriedly walked between the two, "I'm just inviting you to have a cup of tea today, but there is no reason to tell you to do anything, if you don't call it out like this, I'm afraid you won't be empty." ”

Tanchun smiled: "That's the case, let's just hide in the sister-in-law's room and be lazy." ”

Having said that, Li Kun still came out with a silk noodle, lowered his head and talked about something with Baochai, Baochai smiled, "Sister-in-law might as well ask my brother, he is an expert here?" ”

Everyone opened their eyes wide and looked at Xue Pan in amazement, how could this needle and thread ask Xue Pan? Xue Pan hurriedly waved his hand, "I'll pick up the embroidery needle there, don't kill my sister." ”

"It's not for my brother to embroider," said Baochai, "and the sister-in-law said that she would embroider any pattern," she picked up the silk flour, "and said that she was embroidering a handkerchief for the old lady." ”

Bao Qian said to everyone, "My brother has the most ingenuity in his heart, and now the family of the satin, the pattern is very new, many colors and styles of the weavers at home are not good, but the brother said that it must be done, made out and sold, but the sale is extremely prosperous, and the older people in the family are convinced." ”

Baoyu sighed, "Big brother is really powerful, I didn't expect to understand these." ”

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, it's nothing more than mixed rice," Xue Pan said, he received praise in public, and his heart was already happy, but his face was embarrassed to show it, "What does the sister-in-law want to embroider, handkerchief?" ”

Li Kun said, "I'm clumsy, and I really can't embroider big things, so I thought, it's better to embroider a handkerchief with my heart, and wait until the August Festival to dedicate it to my ancestors, which is also my own filial piety." ”

"The sister-in-law's handkerchief is good, if the embroidery is good, the old lady likes it, so she naturally carries it with her, so wouldn't you see the filial piety of the sister-in-law every day?" Xue Pan said, "All the dynasties and dynasties, embroidery, nothing more than flowers, birds, fish and insects, mountains and rivers, people, the rest is not too much, I thought a few days ago, embroider this calligraphy and painting to the satin, it is excellent, the painting should be exactly the same embroidery, this is too painstaking, it takes too much time, but the words are desirable, the old year embroidered an orchid pavilion preface, and now it is still hidden by me." ”

Everyone listened quietly, "So if the sister-in-law wants to embroider something, you can embroider some words, match it with auspicious patterns, and then choose a good color, which is enough." ”

"It's a coincidence that the eldest brother is here, otherwise I really didn't know that there was so much attention here," Li Kun nodded admiringly, "Send the Buddha to the west, I still have to ask for advice, what words are embroidered?" ”

"Naturally, it is the auspicious words of longevity, blessing, and lu," Baoyu hurriedly said, "The old lady likes to read these words, and they are very festive." ”

"Second brother, you are a good person, but I'm afraid that this is a cliché," Tanchun said with a smile, "The old lady is the most elegant person, and what she has always liked is extremely amorous things, if you offer this, the old lady will definitely not like it too much." ”

The meaning of this romance, but it is not the meaning of the later generations, if you want to translate it, that is, the elegant and trendy things, this is also true, any housewife, and the days of raising the sky, the vision has long been very high, ordinary things are not eye-catching, Baoyu couldn't help but be slightly stunned, "What the third sister said is very true, but I was negligent." ”

It's just that he was still a little angry, he was said to be cheesy by Tanchun, but it really seemed to have a little more vulgar meaning, he didn't know how to deal with Tanchun, so he turned his head to Xue Pan and said, "What is Brother Xue's opinion?" Haven't been instructed yet. ”

Xue Pan smiled, "This is a gift from the eldest sister-in-law, let the eldest sister-in-law decide for herself." ”

"Ouch, I didn't pay attention to this in the first place, and I don't know what to do anymore because of what you say," Li Kun smiled at Baoyu and Xue Pan: "I still expect two good brothers to help me think about it, I'm really stupid," Li Kun laughed at himself, "I've been preparing this thing for a long time, and I don't know what to do." ”

Xue Pan pondered slightly, "Yes, if it is simply embroidered, it will be too veneeral, and I have a new pattern of longevity here, which is the best." ”
