XXXIV. Here comes the good news!

The insects outside were chirping incessantly, and after a while, the doorkeeper said, "The girl is here." Aunt Mei just put down the needle and thread in her hand, raised her head, and saw Xue Baochai walking in from outside with a smile, and asked Aunt Mei if her body was better, Aunt Mei quickly got up, asked Baochai to sit down, and asked someone to serve tea" It's already much better, and the tired girl is worried. ”

Baochai said with a smile: "The family is busy, the wife has to take care of the house every day, and the uncle is also outside, in our spare time, we can come and go more, there are not many things at home, and there are more leisure times." ”

"It's for the best."

"Aunt Mei's embroidery is the best, and she will teach me when she wants," Baochai said with a smile, "If you learn a little bit, you will not be able to use it." ”

"I don't dare to hide my secrets there," said Aunt Mei, "and if it is about embroidery, it will not be able to be done quickly for a while, but since the girl has asked, I will tell you a few skills that others do not know." ”

Baochai asked how the skills are, Aunt Mei smiled, "That is to say, the color of the silk thread, has always been our Jiangnan embroidery, all love to use goose yellow, willow green, red, lavender and many other light color embroidery, so called fresh and elegant, over the years, have gradually become luxurious, feel that our embroidery is too plain, more like the rich and noble style of red and green, so our weaving house of satin is both two styles of long, but also to promote the strengths and avoid the weaknesses, so it is more popular." ”

Speaking of her profession, Aunt Mei gushed endlessly, she opened a blue yarn cabinet at hand, took a piece of satin out, and spread it to Baochai, Baochai looked, only to see that it was the rain over the azure satin, there is a common peony flower pattern, the peony flower is Chu red, originally a very rich color, but there is no abruptness on the satin, Xue Baochai looked at the peony flower carefully, Aunt Mei introduced on the side, "Chu red silk thread thirteen strands, add a stream of water red, a rose red, three strands of light red, Mixed together like this, and then twisted with silver wire, the words are bright, generous, and very elegant. ”

"In addition, if you only use bright colors, the most popular color in the capital today is the color that came back from the Western Regions, mostly sandwiched together with yellow, blue and red, such a color contrast is great, but eye-catching, quite exotic," Aunt Mei put the silk thread together, please Baochai take a closer look, "There are many girls who have not come out of the pavilion to use this color, said that it is Dunhuang satin, if the girl likes this color, I will rectify a horse for the girl." ”

Baochai sighed, "Sure enough, there is a specialization in the art industry, as the saying goes, the layman looks at the excitement, the insider looks at the doorway, the knowledge of the thief is really deeper than the sea, how can Aunt Mei have so many ingenious thoughts?" It's really admirably tight. ”

Aunt Mei was a little embarrassed, her big eyes with glasses blinked, "There, the girl is the most powerful, knowledgeable and knowledgeable, not better than me, just a few words roughly recognized." ”

"What's so difficult about this," Baochai said with a smile, "It's okay at home all day, it's nothing more than reading to pass the time, if my aunt is free, come to my side to read and joke together, by the way, there is another girl in the family, but she is still with me, and you can see it when she is free in the future." ”

"I heard that the uncle brought a girl back from outside, but is it true?"

"It's true," Baochai nodded, "My brother is also kind, I saw that the kidnapper was selling people, so he rescued people, my brother's eyesight is very good, this girl looks very neat, but there are some national colors and natural fragrance in it, my wife is also very satisfied when she sees it, but I am afraid that my brother will come, so I put it in my room first, and temporarily follow me, and settle down in the future, I always have to go to my brother to listen to the orders." ”

Baochai spoke again and got up to leave, Aunt Mei was speechless, and after a while she told Lancao to clean up her things, and she didn't wash, but just lazily went to bed to rest.

Xue Pan returned to the courtyard, it was dark, and the lantern was lit under the eaves outside the house, and Yan'er opened the curtain for Xue Pan, "Uncle is back." ”

When he arrived in the room, Xue Pan sat down, shook his sleeves, looked left and right, but did not find that Yang Zhi came up with tea, as long as Xue Pan sat down, Yang Zhi would bring tea up, not in front of him at this time, Xue Panqi said: "Where's the tea?" Where's your sister Yang Zhi? ”

Yan'er hurriedly called Yang Zhi, and after a while, Yang Zhi stepped forward with his face on the teaboard, and made a lot of noise when the bowl was placed on the table, Xue Pan raised his head and glanced at Yang Zhi, "What's wrong with you?" Got gunpowder? ”

Yang Zhi didn't speak, just took the tray and threw the curtain away, Xue Pan smiled and said, "This hoof," he asked Yan'er on the side, "What's wrong with your sister Yang Zhi?" I have a big temper this time. ”

Yan'er saw that Yang Zhi was not on the side, so she raised her hand and whispered next to Xue Pan, "Uncle, did you bring a girl back from outside today?" ”

"It's a girl, oh, it's not a girl, it's a girl."

"Then why don't you bring it back?" Yan'er is still young, but she doesn't have as many thoughts as others, so she said innocently, "Let's wait and see." ”

"Put it in the girl's room," Xue Pan said with a smile, "let her live with the girl first." ”

"Sister Yang Zhi went to see it just now, and she said that she was very beautiful."

Yang Zhi brushed open the door curtain, "What kind of tongue does Yan'er chew?" Hurry up and get the things that the uncle has freshened! ”

Yan'er stuck out her tongue and walked out in a hurry, Yang Zhi snorted, but didn't speak, and walked out again, Xue Pan shook her head and smiled: "This little girl's skin is becoming more and more arrogant." ”

After drinking tea, I felt a little sleepy at this time, Xue Pan thought about things on the brocade couch, and the grandmother at the door handed the letter to the girl Hong'er to come in, Xue Pan was a little groggy, as soon as he saw this letter, he couldn't sleep immediately, a trembling, ahhaha smiled and stood up, "Okay, good, yes!" ”

Hong'er asked, "Why is Uncle so happy?" ”

"I am naturally very happy to have a good thing today!" Xue Pan was proud, "I originally wanted to sleep, but I got such good news, but I can't go to bed so early, call you Sister Yang Zhi, and Yan'er He'er, let's fight cards together, this uncle is happy, and if you lose, it's mine, and you can take it if you win." ”

"It's so good," Hong'er clapped his hands and laughed, Xue Pan's luck was very smelly, he had never won a game of cards, and he had never won, and the big guys also liked to play with Xue Pan, so a person who gave money for nothing was unpopular.
